Olive Tree Ministries

"The prophet Ezekiel foretold 2500 years ago that the key sign of that last generation would be the coming together of the dead, 'dry bones' (Ezekiel 37). Just 150 years ago Mark Twain called the land of Israel a 'moonscape.' But the Psalmist said that 'When the Lord builds up Zion, He shall appear in His glory' (Psalms 102:13-16). And how He has built up Israel in the last one hundred years! Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount, continue to be God’s time clock. That is why the world rages over those areas, and why that shall escalate on a daily basis until the end of the age."

From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict Over Palestine by Joan Peters   JKAP Publications, 1984

"A superlative book ... To understand what is happening in the Middle East, one must begin with its past, which Miss Peters traces to the present with unmatched skill" ~ Theodore H. White

Philistine: The Great Deception by Ramon Bennett   Arm of Salvation Publications, 1995

"This incredible, thoroughly documented exposé gives a clear understanding of the  Arab mind and their intentions.  It reveals the fear and ambitions of politicians, the  double standards and prejudices of the  United Nations and the news media, and presents convincing evidence that Israel's 'Peace Accord' will  usher in perhaps  the most devastating and violent era of man's history, preceding the long awaited Messianic Age"

To The Jew First: The  Believer's  Responsibility Towards Israel by Reginald M. J. Odour   Berean  Publications Ltd., 1996

"Does the nation of Israel still have a place in the purposes of God for mankind?  Has the church replaced Israel as  God's chosen people?  Does the believer in Christ have any unique obligation towards the Jewish nation?  This book aims to provide the reader with the opportunity to reflect on God's dealings with Israel.  This reflection is not optional: God expects us to get an understanding of His dealings with the Jewish nation, and to get involved in accomplishing His purposes for her.  His command with regard to this is: Ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, and give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah  62:6c-7)"

The Mountains of Israel: The Bible & the West Bank by Norma Parrish Archbold   Published by the Author, 4th Edition, 2003

"The Mountains of Israel is a book I can enthusiastically recommend to all those who have a respect for the Hebrew scriptures and wish to know what light they shed upon the the present situation in the Middle East.  Even those dubious about the relevance of the Bible to current issues will find evidence here that will challenge them to reconsider their views.  With the "West Bank" and Israeli-Arab peace negotiations daily in the news, this is a subject on which each one of us wants to be informed.  The Mountains of Israel is an excellent source with which to begin" ~ Sheila Gyllenberg, MA Jewish History, Bar Ilan University, Israel.
