Israel The Chosen: Her Identity, Land, Enemies, Religion and Messiah (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539874843)

Have you ever wondered about the origin of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis? Then dive into this relevant and well-documented analysis of biblical and contemporary geopolitics and the spiritual parallels between ancient Israel's conflict with neighboring nations and the contemporary Middle Eastern crisis.

Quinton Everest Jr.'s new book speaks of a small and vulnerable nation with a population whose numbers are unimpressive but who've left a legacy of giftedness and talent that has inspired disproportionate envy. Today, so many centuries displaced from her theocratic genesis, Israel comprises both those who've renounced their status as God's "chosen" nation and the Hebrew scholars who assert the essential nature of that status.

Everest comments on the secular criticism of the validity of God's sovereign historical intervention as well as the compelling disconnect between Judaism and Christianity, sister faiths separated by the question of Jesus's divinity.

Supported by scripture, biblical and talmudic commentary, and quotations from great historical figures, Everest's exhaustive work builds to a discussion of the inevitable and longed-for fulfillment of prophecy: Will the Jews ever recognize and accept the one they rejected-God's chosen Messiah-and in turn finally live in the fullness of their own place as God's chosen people?
