Dear friend,
Since the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, Jews were dominated by foreign rulers and treated as second-class citizens in their own homeland. Then in 1917, as World War I changed the balance of power in the Middle East, the Jewish people received a miracle.
As Britain fought to win control of the Holy Land from the Ottoman Empire, Zionist leaders asked Britain to support the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in their ancient land. Christian Zionists within the British government, including the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, helped rally support for the Zionist cause. Finally -- on this very date one hundred years ago -- Lord Arthur Balfour sent a letter to Jewish leaders pledging Britain’s commitment to establishing a national home for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. One hundred years ago, the Balfour Declaration was Israel’s first modern miracle on the path to independence and rebirth.
On the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are releasing a video of this historic moment for you to share with friends and family. This video is part of a new Micro History series of short films we're creating to share Israel’s amazing history with the world. Please watch and repost on social media to help us celebrate this historic milestone.
Christian Zionists played a critical role in the creation of the Jewish state. And Christian Zionists must continue to play a central role in defending the Jewish State. This is the role that Christians United for Israel is playing today. We are the leading voice of modern Christian Zionism.
We thank you for being a part of our historic and Biblical work. A look back at history, and a look at today's headlines, should remind us all just how important this work is.
