 Helpful July 12, 2008

Turn on the national news and it will have something about the Middle East in the reports. This should not be a surprise as the Bible teaches that it will have profound influence on the end times.
This book explains what is going on in the Middle East in practical terms on a spiritual basis. It addresses such subjects as oil, Israel, Iraq, and Iran.
It is a must read for the Christian in today's world.
Must Read! July 12, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I encourage anyone who's concerned about rising oil prices, the future of our country and the world to read this book. Rosenberg has the best intelligence I've seen on this subject, his insights and connections are amazing. You can't put it down. I can't wait for his next non fiction, have read 3 of his fiction books too, Ezekial Option was the best, plan to read his newest: Dead Heat soon.
The Headlines before they happen! July 10, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
An extraordinary book which once again, is amazingly prophetic. After reading Epicenter, daily headlines simply reflect what Rosenberg has written about the intertwined histories of the U.S. and Israel. His interpretation of the prophetic passages in Ezekiel and Revelation has answered many of my own questions as to why the U.S. does not seem to be a major player in end time events. Warnings that we must not turn our backs on Israel are so relevant in light of daily threats to our two countries - may our politicians be listening! Each day seem to bring us closer to the close of history and this book is a real asset to understanding how we must be prepared - spiritually and as citizens of this country.
 Warmongering tripe July 9, 2008
4 out of 27 found this review helpful
Ill-researched, dogmatic and demented - classic warmongering, in which religion plays its usual reactionary role. For example, US tele-evangelist Jim Robison opened a Republican National Convention by saying, "There will be no peace until Jesus comes. Any preaching of peace prior to this return is heresy. It is against the word of God. It is anti-Christ." This is a mirror-image of bin Laden's rhetoric - a tiny fanatical minority talking big to frighten us. Rosenberg is the same - frighten us into hysteria, to justify attacking countries that are no threat.
Great Correlation Between Prophecy and Current Politics July 6, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Rosenberg rehearses what many other Bible prophecy buffs have written over the decades (including Hal Lindsey) as it relates to the predicted invasion of Israel from the North, possibly by Russia, Turkey, and Iran.
What makes Rosenberg's work unique is his political connections of Steven Forbes and Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as his many sources for information within Iran and his expertise in happenings within Iraq.
Like many prophetic works over the decades, Rosenberg postulates that Biblical events are about to unfold very, very soon. While I believe this possible, it is an assumption that has proven wrong time and time again (eventually someone will guess right!).
The Events in Ezekiel 37-39 can be decades or even a century down the road. The stage has been set for decades, but the play need not begin for many years.
Rosenberg writes from a Premillennial viewpoint (a viewpoint I share). Although the work is not scholarly from a theological perspective, it is unique in that few people are in a position to glean all the insights Rosenberg shares with us.
