According to history, some centuries after Christ, Jews became scattered and captives in various countries, until our time, when they already returned to the Land of Israel.
The scathering and returning of Israelites were also prophecied in Scriptures. For example:
"Therefore say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.'. Ezekiel 11:17
"I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. …….I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me" Jerm 32:37-40
"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: 'The LORD bless you, you prosperous city, you sacred mountain…..The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.” Jerm. 31:23-31
we see a match between Biblical Prophecies regarding scattering and returning.
Now the question is, when and why exactly did the process of returning begin?
We need to search in history to find answer!
From Wikipedia , the return was initiated in year 1844, when the Ottoman Empire signed an edict of tolerance which:
“….infers religious tolerance through ending executions for apostasy for Jews that seemed to convert making their social situation easier while actually keeping their personal and group identity in their Judaic religion. Jerusalem has had the largest Jewish population in Palestine in recent centuries since about 1844…”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Toleration_1844
We also see that, the Bible also prophecied that the Return will be when a New Covenant is established from God.
From Histrorical point of View, the Bab made a new covenant in year 1844.
So far this was one part of the story.
Now lets look at another part, from Christian Testament Prophecies from chapter of Revelation:
“I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months”. Revelation 11:1-2
So, according to this prophecy, the holy city, which is Jerusalem will be given to Gentiles according to the Will of God. The Gentiles are basically the non Jews, according to many Bible scholars.
Now there is also a match in the history for this.
From Wikipedia:
“The Islamization of Jerusalem began in the first year A.H. (623 CE), when Muslims were instructed to face the city while performing their daily prostrations and, according to Muslim religious tradition, Muhammad's night journey and ascension to heaven took place”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem
So, the first year in Islamic Calendar is a beginning of period that the Holy city was given to Arabs in a Religious Sense.
But for how long was it given to them? The Bible says 42 months.
Lets see if history and religion can match here.
42 months is 1260 days, and in Bible, each prophetic day is 1 year.
That would be 1260 years.
Now historically, the Bab declared that Islam period has ended and He has a new covenant. He made this declaration precisely 1260 years after the first year of Islamization of Holy Land .
It was precisely in the same year, that Also the Edict of tolerance was signed and the Jews begin to return to holy land.
Just some historical facts.
