Jordan. Reassured by the arrival of 800 British reinforcements, King Hussein, under heavy guard, began to move about more freely, helicoptered to the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem where he told a Jordanian army audience "we shall never allow troublemakers, Communist lackeys and atheists to succeed in undermining this nation." But the arrests of pro-Nasser suspects continued with monotonous regularity: 27 Jordanians were standing trial for smuggling in guns and munitions from Syria, and several of them seemed certain to be publicly hanged; 20 others were swept up by the police as members of a gang of terrorists and bomb...
...first of August the Israeli ambassador in Moscow transmitted to Jerusalem a threatening note he had been handed by the Soviet government. The next day Washington learned that Israel was about to ban the overflights of U.S. and British planes across Israeli territory, thereby cutting off the vital airlift of oil and supplies, one of the few trickles of aid that is reaching beleaguered Jordan...
These origins are enacted in 13 major scenes by 325 volunteer actors. Scene I shows Jesus telling of his "other sheep," the Mormons. In 600 B.C., they believe, a prophet called Lehi was told by God to leave Jerusalem. He took his family to the American continent.

Russell decided the "times" began when Nebuchadnezzar overthrew Jerusalem (in 586 B.C. according to historians, in October 607 B.C. according to Russell). Since Israel was to suffer "seven times" for its sins (Leviticus 26:18), Russell had to measure the length of a "time." Revelation, he reasoned, calls 1,260 days 3½ "times," so he doubled that to make seven "times" equal 2,520 days. Discouraging result: 600 B.C. Later he found Jehovah saying (Ezekiel 4:6): "I have appointed thee each...
