November 2: Dame Christabel Pankhurst

Today in 1917 the UK's Balfour Declaration made support of a Jewish state in Palestine into official policy. Dame Christabel Pankhurst, a prominent activist and suffragette, saw the coming of a new Israel as prophetic. She also identified the Bolshevik state with the Satanic forces of Gog and Magog, while announcing "the promised return of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords."

In later years, still attempting to connect world events with Biblical prophecy, Pankhurst identified Mussolini as the Antichrist. (Informed of this by some Belgian visitors, the attribution visibly pleased Mussolini.)
