The author considers the teaching of the Bible about Israel, the Jewish people, and Gentile believers and what it means for the church. He looks at the concepts of replacement theology , election and covenant and challenges the church to resist anti-Semitism. He gives a picture on where the Middle East crisis may be leading, and how it is linked to unfolding biblical prophecy. The time has come to wake up and realize where we are on God s timetable - world history is intimately tied to the future of Israel.
