Dispensationalist - Reader Beware
Kay Arthur's views stem from her belief in "premillenial dispensationalism", a religious movement begun about 150 years ago, notably by Darby and Scofield. It holds that there are a series of "dispensations" or ages in mankind's existence. "Premillenial" relates to the millenium age of Christ that is supposed to follow the current age. PD is a serious and widespread distortion of the Old and New Testament messages. It is founded on fear, violence, racism, anti-semitism and intolerance. LaHaye and Jenkins, in their "Left Behind" series, are probably the best-known PD exponents. Their writings have nothing to do with the real message of the bible. Kay Arthur is also a "Christian Zionist" and believes that the current-day State of Israel (a.k.a. Occupied Palestine) is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. There are many web sites devoted to the debunking of Christian Zionism. History will look back at these beliefs and movements and judge them very harshly. Do yourself a favor and skip this book.

Such a good book!
Everyone ought to read this book. It provides an overview of the history of and prophesy for Israel in a way that kept me from putting it down! Mrs. Arthur has outdone herself.

a book written with research and insight, following the history of the nation of Israel.
whilst reading this book, i have people popping into my mind, who i would love to give this book to.
i am jewish, i studied and accepted yeshua is messiah.
kay arthur has a talent, i feel like jeremiah and daniel have been brought alive to me, i feel the application of scriptures in conversations in this book jump off the page and to the heart.
the unfolding of events in jewish history , i feel i am sharing with the characters as i read.
i cried as i just had not thought deep enough how devastating it was during the times where the romans snatched babies from their mothers.
kay arthur has a gift of communicating biblical and historical events, and she has found a way to write for jewish readers, so they can read about their history and heritage , and also read about Yeshua, factually.
the book is tactfully written, and i feel purposely written not as a witnessing tool, that is not even neccessary .
any one who wants to learn the whole history of israel in a very readable way would love this book, and considering it is a novel, kay arthur has covered so many historical events that it is also a history lesson.you will feel like you are walking the land and walking the life of israel and the plight of the jewish people.
