The Book Why Israel?

Understanding Israel, the Church and the Nations in the Last Days
By Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer

What is so special about Israel and the Jewish people?
Why was Jesus a Jew?
What is the relationship between Israel and the church?
Why did Israel reject Jesus as Messiah?
What is the significance of Jerusalem to Jews, Christians and Muslims?
Why are the Jews returning back to Israel?
Can we apply the prophetic Scriptures to the current situation in the Middle East?

These are a few of the many questions that Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer answers in this timely book. The author considers the teaching of the Old and New Testaments about Israel, the Jewish people, and Gentile believers, and examines what this means for the church in the 21st century.

Replacement theology’, ‘election’ and ‘covenant’
The author explains the concepts of ‘replacement theology’, ‘election’ and ‘covenant’ and challenges the church to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people and resist anti-Semitism. He gives a picture on where the Middle East crisis may be leading, and how it is linked to Biblical prophecy.The time has come to wake up and realize where we are on God’s timetable – world history is intimately tied to the future of Israel.
