In our present world context the subject of Israel and its future is becoming increasingly important. This isespecially so for Christians, for our prophetic future is inherently linked with that of Israel. Amazingly, despite the fact that the Bible is so replete with God's perspective on Israel, even Bible loving Christians and churches are almost silent on the subject. Although 2/3rds of the Bible is directly linked with the history of Israel, most preachers have little to say about this vital subject. They have even less to say on the matter of ISRAEL'S PROPHETIC FUTURE.
As we move into the prophetic time frame relative to the Return of Jesus, the church needs to be awakened, alerted, challenged and taught regarding the common destiny of the Church and Israel. Christian media (Radio and TV) is obviously the best opportunity that we have through which to accomplish this. The return of the Lord is vitally linked with the attitude of the Jewish nation. (Matthew 23:39)

The Messiah Comes to Israel is a contemporary commentary about the inevitable battle predicted in the Bible between Israel and her surrounding
neighbor nations. With headlines from today's news coupled with Scripture, author Gerald Rowlands presents an epic account of the past, present, and future of God's chosen people. Within these pages, the author investigates and answers many vital questions:
Is it possible, even probable, that a major Bible prophecy, which has been largely overlooked by most Jewish and Gentile Bible believers, is
about to be fulfilled in the immediate future?
Does the prophet Zechariah predict the exact moment in the prophetic future when the Messiah will dramatically reveal Himself again to
the entire population of Israel?
Will the descendants of King David finally embrace their long-promised Messiah and declare Him to the world?
This intriguing book is an introduction to an amazing new possibility that is largely overlooked by authors writing about prophetic subjects. The Messiah Comes to Israel encourages a fresh approach to many Scriptures that predict glorious things for Israel- not in the distant future of the Millennium but in the very near future.
