Introductory Message

My subject matter will be concerned with the Biblical basis for the restoration of the Jewish people to their rightful homeland. I firmly support the Zionist cause. The Bible contains many threads of thought that can be profitably gleaned in this vein. I have used an inspiration for this blog a book published in the year 1800 titled The Restoration of Israel by James Bicheno. He wrote another book called Signs of the Times. I just ordered a copy. He accurately assessed the future restoration of the Jewish people to their homeland. More of his understandings will be presented at a later date. He was an early example of many expositors and writers who will be highlighted in time.

Events in the middle east are pivotal in discerning the meaning of many other world wide events that are daily seen in our media.

I enjoy examining aspects of human thought and behavior that continues to view the Jewish people negatively. History is full of lessons concerning anti-semitism among Christians, seculars and Muslims. The subject mattter is not simply academic, but emotionally involving, much like watching disaster footage on TV national news.

I look to the restored nation of Israel more than simply a fulfillment of Bible prophecy in order to make way for the 2nd coming. I would suggest the value of Israel and the Jewish people in their own sphere, not in accord with most politically correct liberal Americans. The Bible tells us of the great future in store for the Jewish people, their sufferings and blessings are all described in the Hebrew Bible. Judaism is not a waystop to becoming Christian. Instead the coming Kingdom of God is for them as believers in the one God.

I will post items that are pertinent to Israel, the Jewish people and Christianity:

1. History
2. Present events
3. Jewish and Christian scriptures texts and interpretations
4. A bit of philosophy, motivations, lessons
5. Helpful books related to the subject, especially the ones I like
