Book Description

July 7, 2008
ISRALESTINE; The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East

Set to explode in the not so distant future, is a devastating war in the Middle East. The Jews will fight off Arab aggression and end terrorism once and for all! ISRALESTINE; The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, boldly unveils significant Bible prophecy that has eluded the discernment of today’s great scholars.

Once upon a foretold time the Jewish people were to meet with a holocaust type condition, out from which they would return back to their ancient homeland of Israel. They would begin as refugees, but promptly emerge into an exceedingly great army. As per Psalm 83, destiny’s design for this great army is a head to head confrontation with a formidable Arab confederacy consisting of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, Saudi Arabians and Egyptians.

This Arab coalition has been developing in its fledgling stages since 1948 and will climax and officially confederate in the very near future. The Israeli Defense Force will decisively defeat this offensive and prove to be the “exceedingly great army” of Ezekiel 37:10. They will expand their territory, become regionally superior, take prisoners of war and exploit the resources of these conquered Arab nations.

In that condition they will become one of, if not the wealthiest nations on earth. It is from that position of empowerment that the Jews will dwell securely in the Middle East. Subsequently the world stage is set for the Russian – Iranian led coalition of nations, which will form against Israel as prophesied in the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39. This non–fiction thriller is carefully designed to cautiously navigate the reader through the end time’s calendar.

About the Author

Bill is the up and coming talent, whose author styling appeals to scholars and laymen alike. His new book called ISRALESTINE; The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, takes an exhaustive, but adventurous look at unfulfilled Bible prophecies intended for today’s international audience. Bill Salus is an expert at explaining the prophetic relevance of current Middle East and world events. Readers appreciate his unique insights and sensible, rather than sensational approach to understanding the Bible. He allows prophecy to speak for itself, rather than modernizing it into newspaper exegesis. Shortly after becoming a Christian in 1992, writing became a daily discipline for Bill. He began with devotional pieces but soon realized that he was prophetically inclined. After the events of September 11, 2001, along with the encouragement of Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum the founder of Ariel Ministries, Bill embarked upon a tireless path of discerning prophecies that apply today. It has become Bill’s personal challenge to demonstrate the love of God through prophecy to each reader. As he composes one page upon another, it becomes clear to the spectator that prophecy is a spectacular gift from a God who cares for the entirety of humanity. The discovery of prophecy as a gift rather than a threat is what most characterizes Bill’s work. People all over the world are learning through his steadfast efforts, that prophecy is not just for the scholarly but also for every common man, woman and child. Whether writing, teaching, doing interviews or speaking in front of large and diverse audiences, Bill guarantees to impart understandable information. Email Bill at: info@isralestine.net

5.0 out of 5 stars Isralestine..., August 25, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East (Paperback)
If you are a student of Eschatology, then this is one you'll want to have for your library. Bill has done an excellent job in explaining what he feels is the proper sequence of End Time events, which centers on a verse from Psalms which has gotten very little attention in the past. A verse when in full counsel seems to support and set the stage for the well-trodden Ezekiel 38-39 (Gog and Magog) war. Psalms 83 prophecies, truly seems to be unfolding before our very eyes in the evening news, and this books does a brilliant job of showing the correlation between this End Time prophecies and the current circumstances evolving in the Middle East today! If you are wanting to get into a study of Eschatology and how it corresponds to todays events, this is one you won't want to miss! Also, Bill is very open to entertaining and answering thoughtful questions via his website for the book: www.isralestine.net. Another excellent and complete study on Eschatology is by PhD. Aronld Fruchtenbaum which is titled, "Foot Steps of the Messiah", and the Study guide/workbook which is a must for any truly serious Eschatology student! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Isralestine, Future or Fantasy?, February 5, 2009
This review is from: Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East (Paperback)
"Isralestine" is a book which will make you think deeply. It will challenge your paradigms. It is as exciting a read as a thriller but much more interesting. Of its detractors, I have only read one whose comments struck me as fair and objective and whose points were worth considering.

My opinion is that Bill Salus has tried to be as objective as possible. One thing is sure: he knows his subject intimately. Of course, that is not necessarily a prerequisite for objectivity. But his approach is neither confrontational nor controversial. It can only be taken as so by readers who have a contrary paradigm to what "Isralestine" is saying.

We live in a world where the media, generally, is hyper-critical of Israel. Whenever Israel retaliates, it is reported as revenge--which in my view (even if it were revenge) is less vicious than unprovoked attack inspired by deep hatred.

When Israel built a wall to protect herself against utterly demonic attacks from people hell-bent on her total annihilation, it was condemned, even by Anglican clergy, as an apartheid wall. In other words, Israel has no right to protect herself. The Soviet Union, on the contrary--like other powers throughout history--can build a wall to divide people who were no threat to them without any outcry from the international community. This disturbing double-standard can only be spiritual, thus demonic.

The hypocrisy of such people is blatant. Who would like to live in a country of a population roughly (till recently) that of Wales, surrounded by countless millions of people who believe it is ordered by their god to annihilate you in the most merciless and brutal way possible--to the point that they train little children to strap themselves with explosives and murder your people and themselves to boot? NO sane person would want to live under such conditions. Yet the world's media, the UN, the whole Islamic world, the Vatican, and even so-called Christians, take the side of the murderers and slander those who would defend themselves.

Salus' statements on Israel being the recipient of murderous psychopaths (he doesn't actually call them that but it's what they are) is quite correct. He shows from Bible prophesy, clearly and concisely, what these prophecies say about Israel and her implacable enemies. He also shows from Bible prophecy the world's attitude. He shows from the Scriptures things in great detail that I personally had never noticed before though they are right there.

The thing about Bible prophecy (in comparison to so-called prophecy of the Koran, none of which has materialized) is that much of it has happened since before and after the time of Christ, is happening now, and much is still about to happen. Remember, the Bible names names and gives places. No other "prophets" other than those of the Bible have done so and with such deadly accuracy.

Prophecy proves the Bible to be true, God to be faithful and all other religions to be false. Of course, people who are religious make their religions their gods. And any person whose god is their religion--or philosophy, political stance or word view--is going to be upset and angry if that paradigm is challenged. Most people will not stop and ask if they should change their world view if it is proved to be in error. In fact, Catholicism and Islam teach their adherents that it is wrong to be objective about their religions. To doubt either, is to sin. What stark contrast to the Bible which teaches total objectivity [e.g., 1 John 4:1 & 1 Thessalonians 5:21].

So Bill Salus' detractors are no different when they are not being objective.

I personally felt that Mr Salus was wrong regarding his prophetic view of Israel taking over the lands from Egypt and the Arabs prior to the Rapture. I had no problem with the view of the Edomites ("Palestinians") being utterly wiped out by Israel prior to the Rapture. That's because it is clearly stated in Obadiah v. 18 that God will use Israel to carry it out, as opposed to His return at Armageddon when He Personally, and His heavenly armies, will destroy all the remaining enemies of Israel. Also, Scripture makes no bones about Israel eventually taking those other surrounding lands. It's prophesied there without a doubt. But my understanding was that was to happen at Christ's return. I had also thought that Ezekiel's prophecies regarding Gog and Magog were reiterated in Revelation 20:7-9, those being one thousand years after Christ had returned to earth.

Bill Salus, though, shows that God will be using Israel against those Arab lands and that ISRAEL will be taking them, NOT Christ with His returning saints.

I had never noticed that before in the prophecies. But Bill Salus gives the essential Scriptures and points them out word for word. It is there for all to see; and it meant I had to think on these Scriptures and bring my thoughts into line with them, no matter how I'd seen them before.

I am having still to give those Scriptures--and "Isralestine"--much thought because it is easy to want something to be so, especially when you feel it is going to champion justice.

Having read much on the suffering of Christian Arabs persecuted and murdered by Muslims, I would greatly love to see the turn of the tide against Islam, especially at the hands of Israel representing the God of the Bible: The Muslim longing for the annihilation of Israel is because its very existence is an affront to their god "Allah." (See the books of former Imam Mark A. Gabriel.) Israel's existence to the Muslim mind, verifies the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It tells them that the God of the Jews and the Christians is powerful and that Allah is impotent. They would have to change their tune if "Isralestine" was correct. As a Christian that would please me, especially as so many Arab Muslims are now already coming to that conclusion and repenting of their anti-Semitism and becoming Christians.

So, I am re-reading "Isralestine" as objectively as possible. It will take a much-prayer-and-logic approach. So far, the contents of "Isralestine" strike me as correct. I hope that many Muslims will read it, I hope that Jews will read it and I hope that Christians will read it.

For me this is one of those books that should be in the secular book stores and even in the supermarkets because it's a view of the Middle-East that is not going to be shown by the world's present news media. After all, so far, it looks as if the prophecies regarding "Isralestine" is starting to be fulfilled--if the latest news regarding Gaza is anything to go by.

I have to say that regarding the many books I have read on prophecy so far, this one is the most exciting. Salus is either bang on target or he is way off it. Only time will tell. Judging by what the Scriptures say, either way, we won't have very long to wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Isralestine Review by Raptureready.com Terry James, September 25, 2008
This review is from: Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East (Paperback)
Author Bill Salus, with Isralestine: Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East (High Way Publishing, July 2008), has delivered a book that is at the very least intensely thought-provoking. His unique view presents work of a cutting-edge sort achieved by very few who deal with matters so likely relevant to our daily headlines.

Salus' postulations add scripturally backed levels of strata in thinking anew on one particular area, considering current issues and events. My own set-in-stone position hasn't yet fractured, but I sense the quaking, so must rethink the composite that forms the foundation. The reading of Isralestine is an ingredient well worth adding to the mixture in making the eschatological base more secure.

Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 represent at this time on the world stage of history the most observable of all Bible prophecies yet future. Dynamic rearrangements take place on an almost hourly basis--actions that should alert the Bible prophecy student who holds the literalist position that we are witnessing stage-setting for the Gog-Magog attack on Israel, foretold for the time leading up to Christ's second coming.

Rosh, believed to be the ancient name for the area where present day Russia sits, is prophesied to take a coalition of peoples and nations on an attack southward toward Israel. A leader of Rosh the Prophet Ezekiel calls Gog will, according to the prophecy, bring the armies from the region he calls collectively Magog in an all-out effort to take great riches from the land the prophecy terms "the mountains of Israel" in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.

Persia is given as Gog's chief ally in the rampage southward. Iran, of course, currently occupies the majority of real estate that made up the land of ancient Persia. Therefore, anyone reading this review, whether prophecy student or unfamiliar with prophecy, should see clearly that these prophetic players are in the news these days as consistently as is Israel, the intended victim of Rosh, Persia (Russia, Iran), and the others who will be "like a cloud to cover the land," according to that Ezekiel 38-39 foretelling.

Russia's prime minister, Vladimir Putin, is looking southward. Perhaps he doesn't precisely fit the profile as yet-that given to the one called Gog. Putin is, however, looking to Syria and to break-away Georgian rebels, having recently created pretext for invading the former Soviet state. The prophesied path to Israel is in that southerly direction.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad presents two faces, one for the western press and diplomats, another for his own people and the Islamics of the Mid-East region and the world. The Persian dictator tells the West his country is not a threat to anyone, rather that Israel is the problem. Iran wants only to produce peaceful nuclear energy for the people. On the other hand, Ahmadinejad promises Islam that Israel will be purged forever from the planet. He makes such threats almost on a daily basis.

Russia and Iran have interlinked through agreements and technological intertwining in an alliance that can't be denied. The Rosh/Persian connection seems almost certainly in the stage-setting process for the attack over the "mountains of Israel," -an assault long held as inevitable by those who interpret as literal Bible prophecy yet future.

The author of Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, agrees with the assessment that things are shaping dramatically for the Gog-Magog showdown, in which God himself will obliterate all but one-sixth of the invading forces. He agrees, too, that much of these forces will be constituted of Islamics. The unique assertion Salus brings into prophecy yet future for the Middle East, however, is that the Gog-Magog forces will not include Arab Islamics, at least not the Arab Muslim enemy forces that surround the Jewish state today.

These present-day Arab Islamic enemies will, the author believes-based upon Psalm 83 and other prophetic passages he quite convincingly documents--be defeated in a spectacular military action prior to the time of Ezekiel's Gog-Magog assault. The powerful, nuclear-equipped Israeli Defense Force (IDF), Salus contends, will not only defeat the Arab nation-state antagonists who came against them in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, but will win through battle most of the land divinely granted Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The victory will set the stage for Israel's becoming an extremely wealthy nation, and a people relatively at rest, with "unwalled villages," conditions that must prevail for the Jewish state in order to fit the condition enjoyed by Israel at the time Gog gets his "evil thought" to attack (Ezek. 38:10-12).

All conditions are in order for the IDF to carry out fulfillment of this military spectacular, according to Salus' well-structured scenario. The possibilities to be considered within such an eventuality, should it take place within a near time-frame, are awe-inspiring. Certainly, it would completely reorchestrate the Middle East dynamic, and would re-order thinking in eschatological circles.

My own cogitations tell me such changes would require that the rapture of the church precede such an Arab defeat--thus to meet the relative surface calm, business-more-or-less-as-usual time predicted by Jesus to occur just before He comes in the air for believers. (Read Luke 17: 26-29.)

The author is convinced that God would not allow such a galvanizing prophetic event to take place, as would be the catastrophic Arab defeat by the IDF, without due forewarning within the time near its coming to pass. He offers a recent archaeological find as evidence for the validity of his belief in the soon-to-come IDF victory over Israel's Arab Islamic enemies.

He contends that the confirming piece of the end-times puzzle was uncovered in Ireland on July 26, 2006. An engineer digging up Irish bog land to create commercial potting soil noticed just beyond the bucket of his bulldozer a well-preserved ancient parchment. It was Psalm 83, opened up in place and in plain view.

Salus writes, "Perhaps it is no coincidence that this Psalm that is filled with prophetic content has been dug up, dusted off, and rendered newsworthy in these latter days."

The author is convinced that by placing this 83rd Psalm piece of the end-time puzzle into its proper place, predicted events come into appropriate alignment. This discovery now completes the last-days puzzle, according to Salus. It should, he contends, enable prophecy buffs to confidently forecast the coming Arab-Israeli war, followed by the Russian-Iranian led invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

I have to say that with his book, Bill has my attention, when thinking on things taking place at such a torrid pace in the Middle East and the world. Isralestine: Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East is a cutting-edge work I think is a must-read.
