In these troubling times we live in we struggle to understand world events as they unfold before our very eyes. Are the Muslims that are attacking the Jews in Palestine fulfilling Bible prophecy? Will the beleaguered people in Judea survive? Will the new ISIS threat gain momentum and spread beyond the Middle East? Has Israel been restored as predicted by Bible prophecy? All these questions and many more trouble both Christians and Jews who look to their sacred books, the Old and New Testaments, for guidance and answers. Unfortunately there are no definitive answers to be found within the pages of either testament. However, the ancient scriptures do provide us with predictions, promises, and clues. Based on these hints and what we can assemble from secular history, we have the tools to put together a reasonable conclusion regarding the reality of who the modern Israel is and their significance in the world today. My research has led me to the opinion that, by design or unwittingly, a great distortion has been imposed upon on an unsuspecting and trusting public. Certainly no one effort has the ability to right all wrongs or make all roads straight. However, A Search for Israel does attempt to combine biblical information with secular events to arrive at a picture of whom and what constitutes Israel - the nation and the people. Certainly the knowledge of who and what represents Israel should be of utmost importance to the Christian community. But Sunday school teachers and Protestant ministers typically will not discuss the realities associated with biblical prophecies as they pertain to the nation/kingdom that is to be restored -the issue is too complex and the false premises too deeply ingrained. A Search for Israel provides the open-minded reader with the biblical, historical, and anecdotal information needed to make an informed decision regarding the Jews and the possible disposition of Israel today. And A Search for Israel provides those who are more interested in facts than indoctrination with a reasoned alternative to what has long been taught as the only possible truth.
