5.0 out of 5 stars The Penultimate of Days, October 4, 2006

By 

MozesonIsaac "edenicsorg" (Sefad, Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Israel and The Endtimes: Writings on the Logic and Surface Turbulence of History (Paperback)

Boston University and Cambridge College Professor Eugene Narrett's essays in this collection, as in "Gathered against Jerusalem" (2000) and "Israel Awakened" (2001), are written in sculptured prose, with marbling from rich veins of literature: Greek myths to Hawthorne and Orwell. His messages about the threat of Islam and the threat to Israel are astoundingly clear. The West in on a runaway train to suicide and apocalypse. And Bush and the Neocons are barely applying the brakes.

The essays in this latest collection are not just different for treating events up to winter, 2006: notably, the failed War on Terror, the Gaza Disengagement, the Paris "intifada," and the anti-religious Israeli "Cossacks" brutality in the Amona settlement. The literary allusions get far more ominous and biblical. The ancient cast of characters is recast so that America is Asshur, the EU is Edom, Ishmael is Islam and the dangerous wild card is Persia/Iran.

Narrett could not know then that a new Lebanon war would make it impossible for Olmert and his Potomac puppetmasters to
further squeeze the Jewish State behind tightening ghetto walls. Then again, the nations of the world (in the form of Unifil) are at Israel's northern border, too much like the Armageddon scenario that Narrett paints.
Miss this book at your own risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Folly of the New Middle East, September 11, 2006

This review is from: Israel and The Endtimes: Writings on the Logic and Surface Turbulence of History (Paperback)

Any student of history knows that international terrorism has ancient roots but the real revelation is that the problem is not simply the Jihadists. True, they have one goal and that is the utter destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. However, that bloody agenda is underwritten and supported by much of Western civilization. And the template for the "modern" concepts of the West come from the Roman Empire whose foundation is linked to Biblical Esau, brother of Jacob (Israel).

Like Esau, the West shares a cultural, ethical and familial tie with the Jewish People. Yet, that ancient connection has become dangerously strained by the selfish need to dominate the Jews and to claim their rightful inheritance (one that includes more than just real estate). Professor Narrett demonstrates how Western civilization's boast--that it embodies the highest ideas of Greco-Roman thought--is a hollow boast. As an ideology it will eventually fail because it is man-made.

The book should be required reading for our leadership who seem to have utterly missed a vital historical lessson from the Roman Empire. They realized, after it was too late, that the Jews were entrusted with a set of vibrant, life-sustaining laws (the Torah) that provide a genuine path to peace.

If you want to understand the conundrum of the so-called peace process and its equally worthless 'Roadmap' you need to read Eugene Narrett's lucid revelation, Israel & the Endtimes. His book is more than an urgent call for sanity, it also reveals the folly of the New Middle East.

I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The UN doesn't want you to read this book, September 4, 2006

By 

Jerusalem Bookworm (Jerusalem, Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Israel and The Endtimes: Writings on the Logic and Surface Turbulence of History (Paperback)

Everyone knows that every American administration
supports Israel because Israel is the only democracy
in the middle east. Right ?

Actually both of these statements are WRONG. Israel
is only a virtual democracy controlled by a perennial ruling
elite that takes orders from the US state department and
the EU, and the goal of every American administration
has been and is to prevent Israel from defeating Jihad.

If you read Dr. Narrett's book, you will understand all
this, and also why the West, whose culture is an unstable hybrid
of Jewish notions of morality and human rights blended into
Grecho-Roman paganism is collapsing.

Why does the U.S. gov't alway pressure Israel to stop
killing terrorists? Dr. Narrett exposes how the phrase
"Israel has the right to defend itself," in fact means
just the opposite, and how the aim of American
policy is to undo Israel's military victories and
reduce Israel to a dependent vassal-state, restricted
to Auschwitz borders and fenced by the "security
barrier" into a ghetto.

Why doesn't the US support Israel's war against
fanatic Islam, isn't it the same "War against Terror?"

Dr. Narret shows that if the US really wanted to win
the war against terror, the real target would be Saudi
Arabia (whose oil industry was stolen from the west
and could be re-taken in a couple of days).

The War against Terror is yet another lie, a ruse
fabricated by the global elite to do away with all
people's rights. Israel especially must go because it
reminds the world of the Torah's notions of morality
and the dignity and limits of human life and that is
inconvenient to the ruling elite.

Lastly, Dr. Narrett points out the ironic parallels
between the blue-helmeted UN troops to be stationed in
the heartland of Israel to end-of-days Bible prophecies
about the nations attacking Jerusalem.

Christians who are in denial about the pagan origins
of their faith (i.e. virgin birth of their god parallel to
Zeus's impregnation of Semele, Europa, etc.)to beget gods or
demi-gods like Dionysus or Heracles may have their eyes and
minds opened by this book.
