Current & future events in light of Biblical prophecy.
This excellent, well written study scrutinises current and future events pertaining to the US, the West & indeed the International community as a whole, in relation to the subject of Biblical prophecy. Many will perhaps find the contents contentious but the text will grip the reader's attention throughout.

This particular study analyses the alleged "failures" to deal with Islamic fundamentalism in the context of the attacks upon the World Trade Centre and the implications of the ensuing "war on terrorism" together with what the book describes as a "moral compromise" that has allegedly seen Bible believing Christians in America being demonized as "bigots and extremists" whilst alleging that God has simultaneously been "dethroned" and taken out of schools, courts & other areas of authority.

The roots of the alleged hostility of Islamic fundamentalists towards America & the West is also discussed. Many will find these & other issues contentious but the book provides what many will see as a determined case to answer. Read and digest.

This presentation declaring at the outset that the agenda being pursued throughout the book is a sincere attempt to "stare into God's eternal Word" and to search for "His purpose and plan" in the midst of all "the chaos on the planet".

Central to this "purpose and plan" the book scrutinises the Holy Scriptures as to the significance of the Jewish people, their state of Israel and the magnitude of the situation surrounding Jerusalem.

Amongst a plethora of Biblical references surrounding these pivotal subjects is that of Genesis ch12;v1-3 which relates to a statement shown by Hebrew-Christian Scripture to have been made by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the Jews);- "...I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse...." The reader is then shown the historical, present and future significance of these Scriptures.

The book weighing the actions of the US, and indeed the International community as a whole, in relation to such important questions as foreign policy, the Palestinian/Arab-Israeli conflict and Islam. The study revealing what the Holy Scriptures themselves are quoted as citing in relation to these immense questions with a particular emphasis being made to Biblical prophecy & the "end times". Issues which the study declares as being of vital importance to every individual.

Whether the reader agrees or disagrees with the personal views of the writer, this is a gripping, timely and relevant study which everyone needs to read, irrespective of their nationality or religion. I would also highly recommend two other books by Michael D. Evans entitled "Jerusalem Betrayed" and "Beyond Iraq". Thank you for your time.

Clear, honest, well-researched
This is an admittedly controversial book. It is controversial, because it challenges all the tired old cliches and mythologies about the Middle East and America's relationship to it.

There is even more reason for UK readers to read this book than American, because the errors of understanding present in the USA are even more entrenched in UK thought.

Although the book's premises are controversial, they are meticulously researched. Where the author challenges the accepted orthodoxy, he backs up his position with chapter and verse. The result is that the book is criticised by knee-jerk responses. For example, I would hazard a guess that the reviewer from Oxford, dated Sept 10th, probably hasn't even read the book. It is too easy to dismiss views one finds as uncomfortable as "right-wing". That is lazy thinking.

This is probably one of the most important, detailed and scholoarly analyses of international politics of recent years. Get it. Be offended. Then study what is said, and you will find the author is right.

TRUTH ALWAYS CAUSES A STIR
So much illthought out nonsense has been written and spoken on the whole Middle East/EU/USA in the last decade. It is so sad where politicians of the highest rank and the man in the street offer opinions on the state of the world today without any foundational underscoring of the subject.

Mr Evans brings the ONLY foundation that can make sense of today, ie the Bible, and thus makes a relevant assessment of the political/spiritual maelstrom we find today.

Instead of speaking opinion I urge you to bring this book into your library and from the foundation of Holy Scripture be truly informed of the days in which you live.

I also recommend you purchase Mr Evans' excellent, 'Jerusalem Betrayed' as a further important book to read.

Well done Mr Evans.
