Next week (May 15th) marks the 64th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel. The historic and prophetic significance of this monumental event can hardly be exaggerated.
In light of the anniversary this month, our aim is to give away digital copies of “The Controversy of Zion and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble” for a limited time. Details about how will soon be announced.
Until then, we have made the Seventh Chapter–entitled “The Modern State of Israel: Jacob’s Final Crucible”–free for download. You’ll find the links below.
If you’d like to help promote the book, please pass this on.
For His glory,
Dalton

The Palestinian Christian Perspective on the State of Israel
Our Palestinian Christian brothers have been very vocal with regard to their view of the injustices they have suffered under the rule of the State of Israel. This is especially so for those who are on the east side of the 1967 armistice green line. What have we learned by listening? [Read more...]
[Source] Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu’s speech in Parliament last week was definitely one of the two most ambitious policy statements to have come from Turkey in the post-Cold War era, along with that of the country’s former President Turgut Özal.
