Blackberry Under the Spotlight D APPENDIX - DANIEL 7 INTERPRETATION

Throughout most of its history, England has employed the crowned lion as the official heraldry symbol of the royal families. The Lion appears on almost every coat of arms in the British royal line going back at least 700 years. It is also interesting to note that during World War II the common imagery used as part of the call for men to arms was one with Britain represented as a male Lion with the young lions as representative of the British English speaking colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA.

Once Jerusalem was captured by the British on December 9th, 1917 from the Ottoman Turks the importance was that it would further facilitate the rebirth of Israel's existence due to the fact that the city was no longer under enemy control. The British then opened the door to Jewish immigration into the Holy Land. Britain's efforts towards the rebirth of Israel as a nation in 1948 was followed by the United States which since the demise of Britain as a world power inherited the role as the protector of Israel. Could it be that America is represented in Daniel 7:3 as the “eagles wings”. Note that the wings are first attached to the Lion indicating co-operation, possibly a mother-daughter relationship.

To understand the significance of Britain relative to modern day Israel one must not forget the Balfour Declaration in which the British orally expressed their desire to facilitate a home for the Jewish People. Lord Arthur Balfour, the British foreign minister declaration was approved by his cabinet and then five years later approved by the League of Nations (the former name of the United Nations during the early part of the twentieth century). Historically speaking, it i s n o t a n

History shows that America descended from the British Isles and the connection between the Lion and eagles wings could possibly be interpreted as the Anglo American alliance that governed world politics during the mid part of the twentieth century. This could explain why the eagle is the national symbol of America and on their dollar bill.

understatement to say that the action of the British throne in the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was the single most important move t o w a r d s t h e establishment of a

Jewish state in modern history. If you remember your World War I history, you'll recall it was the British army, led by General George Allenby that liberated Jerusalem from the Moslems in 1917.
