Reading the news
about conflicts in the world today, it’s tempting to wonder what
the Bible has to say about the current state of tension. Dyer abd
Tobey explore what scripture has to tell us about the conflicts:
Israel’s place in the center of Middle East tensions; Iran’s role
in trying to reclaim the power from the past when Persia was a major
nation; the rise of Isis; and Russia’s role in trying to regain the
power of the cold war era.
The book is quite
short, only 106 pages, but packed with information. The focus is on
end-times prophecy. Are we nearing the time when the Messiah will
return? Their reading of current events in relation to what the
Bible, particularly the Old Testament, says suggests that forces are
coalescing to bring about the conditions for a major change in the
world.
The book relies
heavily on the prophecies found in Ezekiel and Daniel. I was familiar
with the book of Daniel, but I found their analysis revealing. It
caused me to go back and read the book because I felt I had missed so
many underlying parallels to today.
This is a good book
if you’re interested in end-times prophecy. The book is short, but
it gives a good background and may encourage you to explore the area
further.
I received this book
from Booklook Bloggers for this review.
