A Cup of Trembling: Jerusalem and Bible Prophecy

by Dave Hunt

Dave Hunt shows why the current "peace process" in the Middle East can lead only to destruction, why it is impossible for this city to know peace, how the Antichrist will attempt to destroy Israel, and the truth about the Vatican's treacherous intentions.

Reviews

[Jacob O'connor · Rating 5 out of 5]

There's something about the book of Revelation and the sorting out of end-time events that calls to a young Christian.  There's something about Dave Hunt's curmudgeonly eschatological conviction that doubly speaks to the young Christian.  When I was coming up, I couldn’t get enough of Cup of Trembling.  Just look at my copy.  The cover has fallen off.  Every page is dog-eared, and the spine is broken. It's a well-worn book, and it was a nice nostalgia picking it back up.  While I no longer enjoy the same prophetic fervour I did at 20, I remember my time with Hunt fondly.

This book applied scripture as it gave an accounting of Israel's history till about 1995. It allowed me to better understand Israel's failures and that impact on the struggles they face inspite of God's promises.

Every Bible believing Christian (meaning, a believer who follows a literal hermeneutic which leads to a Dispensational understanding of Israel and the Church) should read this book. Israel is one of the greatest evidences for the existence of the God of the Bible in addition to Creation (versus evolution), the messianic prophecies fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the evidence for the bodily resurrection of Jesus, the 70 Wees of Daniel 9:24-27. etc., ...

The mountain of evidence for faith in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible (King James Version in English, specifically) is amazing and this book will either add to your faith with knowledge of "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," (Hebrews 11:1) or will get you started in that direction.

I've read this more than once and will read it again if He Lord tarries and leaves me here for a few more years.

Great read on a look at Israel and Jerusalem as God's time clock and apple of His eye.
