Timely Interpretation Of Current Events & Biblical Prophecy., August 18, 2002
This review is from: War on Terror: Unfolding Bible Prophecy (Paperback)
A very useful account of what is really going on behind the headlines in relation to the ongoing `Middle East conflict' and the `War Against Terrorism'.
Current events are explained and investigated in the light of Biblical prophecy and present a host of facts not seen on CNN, Fox News, Sky and the BBC.
The future scenarios of both the aforementioned conflicts are explored in relation to Scripture and how they might affect us all.
All in all, a thoroughly good read and a useful addition to anyone's library. We really owe it to ourselves to be aware of the circumstances and context of these events. The importance of which cannot be over emphasised.
Books such as this show clearly that much of the Western media reports relating to the Israel-Palestinian conflict in line with their own world view. The media, in those instances, unfortunately betraying its purpose and, instead of objective reporting, attempts to create a frame of reference that portrays Israel as the aggressor and the Palestinians as the `innocent' victims.
Hence the media shapes and distorts public opinion and influences it away from the true realities, creating news rather than reporting it.
It is essential that through books such as this we can get at the real facts behind the crucial issues and not be swayed by propaganda and sensationalism.
The possible consequences of a major escalation in these conflicts is frightening. We cannot allow ourselves to bury our heads in the sand. We really need to know the true agendas of the nations in the region, their allegiances and real position relative to the West.
I would also recommend `Unholy War; America, Israel & Radical Islam' by Randall Price,
`The Last War; The Failure Of The Peace Process & The Coming Battle For Jerusalem' by David Allen Lewis and
`The Continuing Storm; Iraq, Poisonous Weapons and Deterrence' by Avigdor Haselkorn.

Timely Interpretation of Current Events, March 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: War on Terror: Unfolding Bible Prophecy (Paperback)
I picked this up after reading a frightening novel based on biblical prophecy and the war on terror, "Conquest of Paradise" by Britt Gillette. That book made the Second Coming seem inevitable! Grant Jeffrey's latest book provides a very useful account of what is really going on behind the headlines in relation to the ongoing `Middle East conflict' and the `War Against Terrorism'. Current events are explained and investigated in the light of Biblical prophecy and present a host of facts not seen on CNN, Fox News, Sky and the BBC. The future scenarios of both the aforementioned conflicts are explored in relation to Scripture and how they might affect us all. All in all, a thoroughly good read and a useful addition to anyone's library. We really owe it to ourselves to be aware of the circumstances and context of these events.

Outstanding book of Prophecy Teaching for a Christian..., May 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: War on Terror: Unfolding Bible Prophecy (Paperback)
I found this book to be VERY interesting. I learned a LOT about Bible prophecy and feel that most any christian would as well. I don't think this book is for those who are anti-christian unless they are wanting to learn more about the Bible and christianity.
