100 years ago: The Faisal-Weizmann Agreement

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Deuteronomy 30:1-5

On January 3, 1919, Emir Faisal I of Iraq and Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann signed an agreement at the Paris Peace Conference on the development of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and an Arab nation in a large part of the Middle East.

Coming just over a years after the Balfour Declaration, the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement was another step in the fulfillment of the biblical prophecy of bringing Jews back to their homeland.
