Hi everybody, this is Jimmy DeYoung
Jr. with Prophecy Today. Paul Scharf and I are going to
recommend four books that you should read to understand God's
program for the Jewish people. That in one moment. It's time now for Prophecy Today,
a look at current events in light of biblical prophecy. Now with
the latest news update, here's Jimmy DeYoung. Well, last week
we started this series and I had my good friend Paul Scharf join
with us last week. Paul, welcome to the program
again. Thanks, Jimmy. Great to be back with you. Paul,
you did a phenomenal job on your series, Patriarchs and Presidents. I watched your FOI Equip series
on the YouTube channel, which by the way, we want to make sure
we give that information out to folks. You said you really
need to have four books in your library that you would read. Give us those four books. Sure,
Jimmy. This class was for FOI Equip
and people can find the information you're talking about. at foiequip.org. That's a ministry that is provided
freely by the Friends of Israel for people to learn. And in the
course of this series, I said if this were an academic course,
we'd have four textbooks or collateral reading, if you will. And the
primary one would be Elwood McQuaid, a great leader of the Friends
of Israel for many years. And his book is called It Is
No Dream. that's published by the Friends
of Israel. It talks about Israel, prophecy, and history, the whole
story. Then, to look at the other side
of the equation, I really recommend, and it's a real page-turner,
Jimmy, I'm sure you're familiar with it, our friend Erwin Lutzer
has a great book called Hitler's Cross, how the cross was used
to promote the Nazi agenda. Then a really new book by my
boss, Chris Kotelka, called Israel Always. It's on the order of
McQuaid's book, but it's brand new, concise chapters, easy to
read, tremendous information. And then a fourth one, a little
more theological and historical, Dr. Thomas Ice, The Case for
Zionism. Those books would really give
anyone the foundation for looking at the material we're covering
here in this course. Yes, those are great books. I've
read Elwood McQuaid's book. I've read Erwin Lutzer's book.
I've also read Chris's book, which I just read in March when
I was in Israel. It came out. We did an interview
with Chris. So folks, these all should be a part of your library
that will help you in understanding God's program for the Jewish
people. He's not finished with them yet.
Why it is so important that we as believers realize that God
still has a plan for the Jewish people. Paul, what are we to
do with this information? How does this help us as believers?
Well, Jimmy, the wonderful thing is none of us have to wait for
a presidential statement or an executive order to be issued.
We don't have to have an act of Congress. We don't even have
to wait for our whole nation to turn and do something that
we'd like to see happen. We can apply this in our personal
lives. We can go out and we can seek
to desire to be a blessing to the people of Israel and determine
that we are going to act, whether or not any president says or
does anything in the future, we're going to be like Washington
and Truman and Nixon and Reagan and Trump. At least in this respect,
we're going to go out and do something bold and daring that
will be a blessing to these of whom God has said, I will bless
those who bless you. And to know for sure that when
God makes a promise and he makes a covenant with people, he's
going to fulfill that and he will use world leaders to accomplish
His will. Remember, if you want more of
