British Promises In Middle East (1915-1918)

The British

1. promised Hussein, the Sharif of Mecca, that it would support an independent Arab kingdom under his rule, stretching from Damascus to the Arabian peninsular in return for fighting the Ottomans (McMahon-Hussein correspondence 1915);
2. entered into a secret with France to divide the Middle East into spheres of influence in the event of an Allied victory but placing the Holy Lands under an international control (Sykes Picot agreement of 1916);
3. promised prominent Jews in Britain that the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine would be looked on with favour by the British (Balfour Declaration 1917);
4. agreed set up and recognize indigenous governments in Syria and Mesopotamia (Anglo-French Declaration 1918).

Promise 1 and 4 were partial kept. Hussein became the King of Transjordan. Promise 2 and 3 result in today's Israel, Jordan, Syria and Iraq.

All these things were not accidents. These events will eventually leads to the establishment of God's Kingdom.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Daniel 2:45 KJV)
