Israel Under Fire - Ankerberg / De Young

With a forward by Tim la Haye and containing interviews with Benjamin Netanyahu, Moshe Grens and Lt. General William G Boykin, this is a timely study for all with an interest in Israel.

The early chapters deal with Israel's ongoing history, and having been published just recently, it is very up to date, bearing in mind that current events in the Middle East are unfolding at breakneck speed.

The alignments of the nations in fulfilment of God's word in these last days are thoroughly analysed and the preparations and plans for the rebuilding of the temple along with those for the formation of a modern day sanhedrin are looked at in detail. Comments from Jewish religious leaders are illuminating.

A number of interesting questions in relation to the book of Revelation are addressed and whilst some will not agree with everything in the book it is unquestionably a valuable addition to the resources available to those who study Israel in depth.

Perhaps the last word should be John Walvoord's comment at the head of the last chapter, namely, 'If there ever was an hour when men should consider their personal relationship to Jesus Christ, it is today'. Amen to that. Well worth purchasing.
