Epicenter: Why Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future

Rosenberg writes about the status and changes in the Middle East, and explains these changes based on selected Biblical passages as his source. Believers who are convinced that the Bible contains all the answers may find his arguments convincing, but those who believe that one can find Biblical passages to support any argument will find this book short on facts and long on cherry-picked quotes from religious Prophets.

Very interesting as it's something I've never read about in any depth. I have a hard time with literal interpretations of the Bible, though the explanations provided here certainly force you to reconsider some previously held assumptions. My only problem is that people have been predicting the end times since the Resurrection and it's yet to happen. That said, this book has some very probable prophecies and this author has been right in the recent past.

My major quibble is one of time gap - this book was written in 2006 and several of the major topics discussed in the book (e.g. stability in Iraq) have changed dramatically since the writing. Problem is, they've tended to change in a way that further supports the author's show more thesis.

Basically, it's an interesting, fast read. Worth the time. show less

Excellent book. Demonstrates dramatically that the current events we are experiencing are right in line with Bible Prophecy and its all centered in the Middle East. If you want to know what to expect in the near future this book will show you how the events are lining up. Rosenberg doesn't speak in generalities. He is talking about real events in real time.

Rosenberg explains how his background has poised him to become an expert at interpreting modern day events through the "third lens" of scripture. Rosenberg's fiction books based on Biblical prophecy have plotlines eerily close to real life news events--written long before those events came to pass. Here he explains how he came up with those plots, delving into a detailed description of how he interprets certain prophetic passages from the bible.
Heady stuff at times, and Rosenberg does quit a bit of self promotion. Prophecy is always facinating though, who doesn't want to know the future?

Joel Rosenberg is one of my favorite authors. A Messianic Jew, he gives a lot for us to think about in how he approaches the world

Awesome references and positively charged possiblities about Isreal being the center of this conflict. Moved quickly and was very informitive.

Kevin - This is a whole book written by one of our crazies. The apocalypse is nigh!
