It takes a good
eyewitness and a team behind him to report current events in such a way to make
it a pleasure to read. Most books that try to interpret current events to
project the future meaning read dry. Not
so this book.
Mitchell is a reporter for CBN
News who was posted in The Holy City and got out in 2011 when the Egyptian
revolution burned hot and Mubarak was thrown out. He asks what this means for
the Middle East and especially the small state of Israel.
He discusses the Arab Spring
where democracy is being tried and the Islamic Winter where the Muslims are taking
over the control of government and setting up a war against non-Muslims. He examines
the Bible and its’ prophecies. He brings in the history of the title to the
land which was granted to the Jews by the League of Nations after the First World
War. For the history buff and especially for the Bible student the land of
Israel is very important. Any book that can help further the understanding of
both is welcome.
You will ask,what can I do? Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem. There is a group of people in Jerusalem who pray
24/7. Be one of them. Add your intercession to their prayer chain.
What I like about this book is
the research and the careful pulling together of the past to explain the
present. He links the accounts given in the Bible of the nations to present day
events to explain the meaning of what is going on.
It is a book that should be on the
reading list of all concerned people.
I was given the book free by BookSneeze as part of their blog reviewing team. I was not required to give a positive review. All points of view expressed are mine and not the view of the publisher.
