JNS.org – An Egyptian astrologer has predicted on television that the Jewish people will grow stronger in 2014 because Saturn will enter a fire sign in December of this year.

Egyptian astrologer Sayyed Al-Shimi said on Al-Nahar TV that many events in past Jewish and Israeli history happened under similar astrological conditions, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

“When Saturn enters any of the fire signs, the Jews grow stronger. Don’t believe in this merely because I say so. It’s been tested. The Balfour Declaration was released when Saturn was in the fire sign of Leo… the 1948 [War of Independence] took place when Saturn was in the fire sign of Leo. The 1956 [Sinai War] took place when Saturn was in the fire sign of Sagittarius. The 1967 [Six Day War] took place when Saturn was in the fire sign of Aries,” he said.

Israel should “do whatever they can to resolve the Palestinian problem” before December 2014, Al-Shimi warned.
