Understanding Modern Israel: A Biblical Perspective

by Julia Fisher

, 2021

To understand the complexity of modern Israel, you have to first understand the history.

This is a nation that has been exiled not once, not twice, but three times… and each time has returned to re-inhabit their homeland. This is unique. How and why has this happened? 

This book encourages an audience who thinks Israel is an irrelevant issue to think again and understand what God has done and is doing through this small nation. This Bible is, after all, a Jewish book. Jesus was Jewish. Our destiny is tied up in both.
