The Battle For Jerusalem

by John Hagee

On September 28, 2000, retired Israeli General Ariel Sharon visited Jerusalem's historic Temple Mount under a cloud of tension. As he left, more than 200 Arab protesters surged forward, throwing stones and finally forcing Israeli police to fire upon the crowd. The incident launched a series of bloody battles that mirror conflicts between Arabs and Jews through the ages. Written in Pastor Hagee's no-holds-barred style, The Battle for Jerusalem explores the heart of the current conflict, the history behind the antagonism between Arabs and Jews, and the powerful significance of the thirty-five-acre parcel that is the most fiercely-contested real estate on the planet. He also discusses the most recent American election, and explains why President Bush will not be able to reach a peace accord in the Middle East. Must-reading for every concerned Christian and all who struggle to understand the unique and continually unresolved conflict in Israel, The Battle for Jerusalem takes a hard look at Israel, Arafat, and the United States… and illustrates how they fit into God's plan for the ages.

Very interesting book!

[Will · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pastor Hagee does a good job of bringing out historical and biblical references to Jerusalem. Covered in this book is the recent history of the quarrels between Israel and the PLO, since Israel became a nation in 1948. The roots of this holy land stem back to Abraham's time in the Bible. Hagee adds good detail to what actually has happened since 1948 in Israel, and the fact that Arafat and the Muslims will not be satisfied until Israel and Jerusalem are their own.
Hagee also goes into the history of Jerusalem and what to expect in the future per Biblical prophecy. If you have read Hagee's "From Daniel to Doomsday", or any of his other prophecy books, you will recognize quite a bit, as he mentions the same thing.
Great book due to the historical insight to the Mid-East conflict and Bible prophecy and its ties to Jerusalem and Israel.
