After the Romans, the Muslims conquered Jerusalem and strictly prohibited the Jews from entering the city. So the Gentiles were the only people who by law were allowed to live in Jerusalem. This continued for many centuries until the Ottoman Empire was forced by Western countries during the 1800's to break with their policy of religious intolerance and recognize the rights of other religions. This process took some decades and is evidenced by several documents signed in 1844-the year that the Baha'i Faith began. The Jewish people gradually began to return to the Holy Land, fulfilling this prophecy.
