5.0 out of 5 stars Provocative, Timely and Right On!, March 30, 2003

By 

Last Day Disciple (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Exploding the Israel Deception (Paperback)

Without a doubt, this is a most provocative book that will stir Christians around the globe to study their Bibles more carefully. Read for yourself and see who Israel is and isn't from the New Testament. The conclusions emerge right from the plain teachings of the Scriptures, but often challenge popularly held views. You'll be shocked! But along with the apostle Paul you will be led to conlude that "he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly...but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumsion is that of the heart." Romans 2:28,29

If you're not convinced from the book, then get the video series offered by the same author entitled "Israel in Prophecy".

Now is the time to study. Now is the time to pray. Now is the time to know the truth!

5.0 out of 5 stars God has truly blessed this author., March 28, 2003

By 

Randolph T. Belsky (Eau Claire, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Exploding the Israel Deception (Paperback)

So much of what bible prophecy teachers present today is based on their own preconceived understandings that lead them to conclusions, that lead to assumptions and still more conclusions that are not based on the pure words of scripture. NOT SO WITH THIS BOOK. This author brings a purity of understanding and an approach that allows the scriptures to speak for itself and the truth to plainly be told. Scripture MUST be compared to scripture for any proper interpretation to follow. To allow the Bible to be its own interpreter is absolutely necessary if the terms such as "Israel" and "Temple" are to be understood in the manner that God intended. This author's approach does not allow preconceived ideas to interfere with the message that God wants us to have to be prepared for these last days. The truth is often not what most people think. When you read chapter 2, "A New Look at Jesus Christ", you will gain a new and profound appreciation for the name "Israel".

4.0 out of 5 stars A Gem Among The Flood of Futurist Dispen-sensational Books, March 28, 2003

By 

Herb Frizzell, Sr. (Cedar Hill, Texas (outside Dallas)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Exploding the Israel Deception (Paperback)

Steve Wohlberg's book "Exploding the Israel Deception" is a breath of fresh air - it clears the stale air of too many Futurist books constantly overemphasizing the "literal" approach - indeed, Wohlberg's book shows the beautiful balance between "literal" and "symbolic" in the Scriptures. Origen went too far one way (allegorical or symbolic); Futurist go too far the other way (literal). Wohlberg shows that Jesus' first coming was both "literal" and "symbolic"; viz., the 70-Weeks Prophecy of Daniel 9 was symbolically shown as "seventy weeks" - which everyone agrees were symbolic "weeks of years" where a DAY equals a YEAR, and not 'literal' weeks of 24-hour days by any means; and yet Jesus also "literally" came to fulfill the symbolic 70-Weeks Prophecy concerning himself, his work, and the literal Cross, since he came "on time" and "in the fulness of time". Wohlberg takes a large bull by the horns, namely, the "Left Behind" bull-headed mentality of Tim LaHaye, Tommy Ice & Company who preach mainly the literal "days" of the prophetic Scriptures. Wohlberg, on the other hand, shows that the fulfillments of these "days" - 1,260 days, 1,290 days, 1,335 days, and the 2,300 days, etc. - have rather been literal years figured symbolically at "1 Day = 1 Year" - again, showing the biblical balance of literal and symbolic that the popular end-time speculative scenarios often sorely lack. "Exploding..." is a true countervailing weight against the overemphases by the popular Futurist "Left Behind" scenarios of end-times prophecy books that populate the majority of shelf-space at Christian Bookstores. Wohlberg's book is indeed a gem of shining brilliance found among the drab Futurist 'popular' and highly speculative, but deceptive, views of end-time Bible prophecy events which flood the media and the shelves of Christian bookstores.
