The Modern State of Israel and Biblical Prophecy

The Modern State of Israel explores the lot of the Jewish people in their dispersion in the world for the past two thousand years. After their persecution and their expulsion from many nations, their desire to establish a home of their own, where they can rule themselves and not be the subjects of their overlords, is understandable. It is believed by many Christians that the State of Israel is an absolute necessity for the strategic and longterm determination of world events. It is said that the Bible provides support for their case. Events such as the coming of the Antichrist and the battle of Armageddon cannot take place without Israel. Christ, consequently, cannot return to establish the Millennium. Why did God choose Abraham as his seed and why did he give them land? e answer to this question is of tremendous importance, for upon it hang the doctrines of future events. In this thoroughly researched review of Israel, past and present, S. K. Haddad hopes to show whether Israel has a biblical role in future world events or not. Salim Khalil Haddad was born in Palestine of Lebanese parents. He studied Medicine and Surgery at the universities of Cambridge and London and later specialised in Neurosurgery. He lives in Wales, UK.
