The Israel Omen

This is a remarkable book, What David Brennan does is look at the land of Israel from a Biblical perspective and who's land it is. He shows that the LORD YHVH gave the land to the Jewish people, and predicted that they would be apart from there land for a long time (maybe even predicting the date of their return). He shows how bible prophecy has been fulfilled in these modern times with the return of the Jew's to Israel. And that this is their land the promised land. Than what Brennan does is show that anyone, who tries, to stand in front of God's Promise, to the Jews, such as the USA pushing for Israel to give up land for peace, leads to a series of weird disasters -coincidences? Or are they coincidences; They may be God Judgement, on those who are standing in the way of the Jew's right to the Holy Land. That is the case that Brennan lay's out and he does a convincing job showing the events (conference etc.,), the disasters and the biblical evidences to back it all up. Let me give one example. On January, of 1994 President Clinton meets Syrian President Assad, they discuss the return of the Golan Heights from Israel. The following day Israeli Prime Minister Rabin warns the public to be prepared to return the Golan Heights. than the highest ever recorded earthquake in an urban area, strikes the U.S., causing the second most costly destruction caused by a natural disaster in U.S. history. I knew of theories such as this, but I did not know how closely tied to an event the natural disaster's are: And we are not talking about run of the mill disasters, but ones that are historic, such as Katrina, the great flood of texas and the perfect storm. You have got to read this and decide for yourself if this event's were coincidences or the judgement of the LORD!!!!!!!

This book is an excellent read. It is well-documented, which the other reviewer mentions. I think Brennan is bringing into view a whole new perspective on Middle Eastern policy, and tying it to end times eschatology in the way that he does makes the whole book staggering in its implications. Absolutely thought-provoking and soul-searching. I highly recommend it.

I was not going to read this book after receiving it as a gift because too many religious books deal with the Apocalypse and what will happen in the future based on wild, subjective interpretations of biblical verse. While thumbing through the pages I found this to be, in my opinion, fact-based and well-researched. The parallels between natural and man-made disasters and events surrounding the ongoing negotiations with Israel are quite fascinating. Turned out to be a very interesting read.
