Outstanding Eschatological Scholarship, June 17, 2006
This review is from: Appointed: The Biblical Fall Feasts and the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Yisrael, King of All the Earth (Paperback)
I had a seminary professor that continually cried, "Whatever one decides to do with the Old Testament is what they will do with the Book of Revelation!" Nowhere have I seen this scenario more realized than in this refreshing work by David Busch. The author maintains that the Appointed Feasts of Israel find their eschatological fulfillment in the various event scenarios that surround the Second Coming. He builds on the premise that just as the Spring Feasts were literally fulfilled in the soteriological work of Christ's first coming,the consummation of His redemptive plan will find the same in reference to the Fall Feasts and His Second Coming. Previous efforts concerning the Fall Feasts have ranged from the ridiculous to the plausibly entertaining; that is until this one arrived. David limits his work to the boundaries of the Text which is welcomed and refreshing. He presupposes his readers to have a firm grasp of the Book of Daniel, and, rightly so. Why bother with prophecy if you're missing the eschatological key. Throughout this work, the author holds himself to the highest of standards and, correctly, expects no less from his readers.
Far from breaking from many of the great dispensational scholars of the past, David actually edifies their work yet builds and expands on many of their conclusions. For the last ten years I've looked for a source that correctly identifies the geography of the Antichrist. Scripture is silent as to any invasion coming from the traditional view of the west (Roman Antichrist and 10 EU nations); only the north and the ten nations being "round about" Israel. David offers this much desired source. By correctly identifying the person and his place, he then presents an eschatological scenario that never breaks from context and comprehension, thus bringing clarity never before realized.
This entire scenario is perfectly placed in reference to the "times and seasons" revealed in the Fall Feasts. Furthermore, David understands that "tellin ain't sellin" and only proves his stance from the Text (Acts 17:11).
Finally, he presents a chronology of the extra 75 days of Daniel's 70 week prophecy that, I believe, will clarify eschatology as we know it.
Throughout this work, David Busch acknowledges the words of the wise King Solomon, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter (Pro 25:2)." I recommend this book as a "must read," you will be better for doing it!

Fall Feasts of Israel With Clear Biblical Support, May 25, 2004
This review is from: Appointed: The Biblical Fall Feasts and the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Yisrael, King of All the Earth (Paperback)
Once I started reading the book "Appointed" by David Busch the author had my attention immediately. I have always had an attraction to the Feasts of the Lord introduced in the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 23 and that interest was magnified by the work Marv Rosenthal had done with that subject. I grew to know them as "the footprints of the Messiah" and/or "Divine appointments of the Lord". The cover to David's book is a wonderful attraction and the charts contained in the book are excellent aids to enable one to follow along with the authors thoughts, plus they can be used as great summary points or tools to share the content of the book with friends. I think David's proper perspective in "rightly dividing the word of truth" has aided him in coming to the conclusions he has come to in his book. He certainly has convinced me with a vast amount of scripture and personal study as to the timing of these marvelous Fall Feasts. He will most certainly cause a stir in the traditional teachins of the tribulation period. His view about who the ten nation confederacy may be and who and where the Anti-Christ will rise from are very convincing and most importantly defended brilliantly with Scripture. His zeal for evangelism can also be notice in the book. This book is a must read for anyone with an interest in the 70th Week of Daniel. I highly recomment that men like Marv Rosenthal, Hal Linsey, the folks at Israel My Glory, The Mid Night Call, Dave Hunt, Jenkins and LaHaye, etc. read this book. It is a subject and book that one would expect these men to comment on. This book needs to be in your Christian library. I do believe David has another book ready to go and a contemplating a third. I noticed he has been invited to the Midnight Call Bible Prophecy Confrence in September. Can't wait to hear what David has to share.

The Apoointed is right on point!, October 20, 2007
This review is from: Appointed: The Biblical Fall Feasts and the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of Yisrael, King of All the Earth (Paperback)
The Appointed is a marvelous book detailing Isarel's feast days and how they point to the Lord Jesus Christ! This book brings the meaning of those biblical feastivals to life like no other.
David Winston Busch brings out all the splendor of the Lord Jesus Christ as He is pictured in these feast days and it makes my appreciation for God's Word even better.
I would, and have, recommended this book to anyone who would love to glorify God thru the Lord Jesus Christ in His faithfulness to one day give believing Israel their earthly kingdom.
David makes it clear in this book that because Christ fulfilled the first 4 feast days in His first advent, that He will also fulfill the last 3 days right on schedule!
I thank the Lord for brother David and his passionate labour in the Word of God rightly divided.
