Summary: Critique of the US Armageddon lobby?
Comment: D. Roberts review, below, convinced me to buy this book immediately
"The prophecies and Divine Eternal Promises relating to the People and the Land of Israel are plentiful, precise and explicit...The Jewish inheritance to the Land promised throughout Scripture beginning in Genesis and the prophecies relating to their regathering and the end times are ridiculed."
Absolutists like Roberts have been duped by the very end times false prophets that Jesus clearly warned his disciples to shun, the "ferocious wolves in sheep's clothing," revealed by their fruits.
Prescriptive prophets who presume to divine "precise and explicit" prophecies are the greatest threat to peace. Then again, that is not what they want.
Roberts' denunciation is a resounding endorsement.

Summary: A view contrary to the Bush administration and D. Roberts...
Comment: While D. Roberts suggests that Wagner's excellent and vitally necessary book is merely anti-Israeli propaganda and a misinterpretation of Scripture, the reality is that D. Roberts is blinded by his own anti-Catholicism and insistence upon a fundamentalist reading of Scripture. Those who seek the spirit of the Word will immediately see the truth in Wagner's book.
This book should be read in conjunction with Fr. Elias Chacour's "Blood Brothers," a moving tale of one man's quest for true peace, reconcilation and brotherhood among all the children of Abraham.

Summary: Politics Used To Usurp Scripture.
Comment: Some 80% of the Hebrew-Christian Bible consists of prophetic truth. By reading this book you would not think so.
The prophecies and Divine Eternal Promises relating to the People and the Land of Israel are plentiful, precise and explicit. The prophecies and Divine promises relating to the latter days/end times and where they appertain to the Church, the Jews & the nation of Israel are equally plentiful, precise and explicit.
Yet these elements of the Written Word are either misinterpreted or perhaps deliberately manipulated here in pursuit of an obvious agenda which is anti-Jew, anti-Israel and anti-Christian.
Yet again another book uses the 'Palestinian' as the tip of the spear in the war against the Jewish People/Nation. The terrible plight of the Palestinians suffering in the squalid condition of the refugee camps is used to 'point the finger' at Israel. It is ignored that the Arab world placed the Palestinians there to be used as just such a political and humanitarian weapon. It is also forgotten here that Israel has done more to relieve their plight than any single Arab nation. The context of Middle Eastern history in this work is incredibly selective, biased and inaccurate.
I feel incredibly sad at the mis-use of Scripture to promote such an obvious agenda as that portrayed in this work. The Jewish inheritance to the Land promised throughout Scripture beginning in Genesis and the prophecies relating to their regathering and the end times are ridiculed.
The viewpoints of Evangelical Christians supportive of Israel such as myself are not a matter of religious 'brainwashing' or indoctrination but are based on a solid Biblical foundation. Their basis is there for all to see in the writings of the Hebrew prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah, Joel etc., not to mention the many references within the New Testament itself. Jesus Christ Himself is quite explicit in His own words. How this book can treat these factual writings with such contempt is beyond me.
The book appears to promote a philosophy that the God of the Bible should forsake his Promises and His Word for the sake of what the book describes as 'tolerance'. A tolerance of sin and an agenda which sets itself directly against the God of Israel Himself. That the Eternal Divine Promises relating to Israel & the Jewish people should be usurped by the man made issue of the 'Palestinians'.
The Bible clearly declares that God loves each nation and each individual. However when a nation or individual turns it's back on God the Bible is also quite explicit about the consequences. The history of the nation of Israel is a clear illustration of this with their dispersion throughout the nations being just one case in mention. The Hebrew-Christian Bible is also extremely explicit about what faces those who deliberately come against the Jewish People/Nation, what the Bible calls the "apple of God's Eye". This book and the nations supported by this book have done just that.
Might I respectfully suggest that those who would support the ideology behind this book all read "Islam Revealed" by Anis Shorrosh, a Palestinian Christian. Mighty I also suggest that they read any of the works on the Mid-East, Jerusalem & the Palestinian/Israeli issue by the learned Christian author Randall Price. Most of all, might I humbly and earnestly suggest that they get down on their knees, remove their anti-Israeli blinkers, pray to Almighty God for wisdom & insight and then study the Holy Hebrew-Christian Scriptures themselves with an open heart, paying attention to the Divine Promises, the Hebrew Prophets & the Words of Jesus Christ Himself.
I am sorry but I cannot in any way recommend this book. Thank you.
