For those who have not kept up with current events and politics, the first half of the book is a real eye-opener.
For those who already know about the U.S. - Israel connection, I recommend skimming over the first half of the book and starting with part two on page 211. If you've ever struggled with the Bible in reading Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah or Revelation, then the latter half of this book puts it into proper perspective.
The most disheartening thing about this book is that you realize that "prophecy" is being fulfilled now and that end times is not just in some distant future for people 300 years from now to deal with -- we are seeing the demise of the U.S., the rise of Islam, Russia and China and the inevitable world crises that will evolve from these happenings.
