Israel is at the center of a powerful clash of forces, but God has established firm covenants with both Israel and the church. The only reliable source of light upon the situation in the Middle East is provided by God’s prophetic Word. If we do not seek the light that comes from this source, we will inevitably find ourselves in the dark, subject to confusion and deception. The church had its origin within Israel, but over the centuries the destinies of the two groups have diverged widely—until now. An exciting feature of our time is that the destinies of Israel and the church are once again beginning to converge. This God-ordained convergence will produce the most dramatic and significant developments in all of human history. In The Destiny of Israel and the Church, renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explores the answers to these questions, and Has the church replaced Israel in God’s plan?Why is the tiny nation of Israel the focus of world attention?What is the restoration of Israel?What is the responsibility of Christians toward Israel?
Derek Prince (1915-2003), was an International Bible teacher and founder of Derek Prince Ministries International, wrote more than fifty books. He was born in India of British parents. Educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, England, he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King’s College. He also studied Hebrew and Aramaic, at Cambridge University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His daily radio broadcast, Derek Prince Legacy Radio, still reaches listeners around the world.
It is a book about the prophetic destiny of Israel and the church but more is written about Israel than the church. It is nevertheless a good book full of truth. One scary truth for me was that God allowed the holocaust because His purpose was for the Jewish people to return to the land of Israel. Now what will God not allow in the life of the church because we don't evangelize and fulfil His last command to us – the Christians?
If it can be said modestly, I found nothing new in these pages.
What Derek says is true and I suspect not clearly unsdwerstood by many in the pews. I was somewhat disquieted by a writer of his reputation bringing his 'system' to the Bible looking for support on several occasions
