Details: Anyone with an inkling of knowledge in relation to world history or an interest in current day events will be fully aware of the strategic location and the religious/political importance of Jerusalem. The author examines in fine detail, the significance of current events in and pertaining to Jerusalem, in the context of Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Biblical prophecy. His insight is considerable and I highly recommend this book to everyone. The Bible clearly states that Jerusalem is at the centre of Gods prophetic plan for the future and as such will effect everyone, irrespective of whether they like it or not. The nations of the world will eventually be gathered together against Jerusalem for an end-time battle as predicted in Scripture. Just a quick glance at today's newspaper or the world media reveals that Jerusalem is unquestionably at the centre of world controversy even as I write and the stage is indeed being set for the final conflict. One of the main reasons that the now defunct 'peace process' between Israel and it's Arab/Palestinian neighbours fundamentally failed was because the issue of who controls Jerusalem could not be agreed. Jerusalem has been prophesised in Scripture to become '...cup of trembling..' to all nations during the end times. Although destined for disaster, Jerusalem is also destined for deliverance. There can be no more appropriate time than now to study Jerusalem and it's place in era. Randall Price has provided an excellent work here in examining all the relevant issues, including the error of 'replacement theology' and it's effect on our attitudes towards the Middle East. I also highly recommend his other books on the subject, "The Coming Last Days Temple" and "Unholy War". |
