THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL

Norma Parrish Archbold

The Bible & the West Bank

This useful little book offers a clear scriptural perspective on the events that have been unfolding in the Middle East and what is to come. The similarity between developments there and the prophecies in chapters 35 and 36 of the book Ezekiel are becoming ever more striking. Truly remarkable correspondences are becoming clear which is good news for  Israel .

Enhanced by explanatory maps, the book argues that the scriptural name for the so-called West Bank is the Mountains of Israel. This area forms part of the land promised to Abraham's descendants through Jacob (Israel) in Genesis. This is an unconditional promise that will be fulfilled just like the restoration of Israel has been fulfilled.

In the chapter  The Desolate Land , the pitiful state of the area prior to the return of large numbers of Jews is described with reference to the reports of visitors like Mark Twain in the 1860s, W M Thompson in 1866 and Samuel Manning in 1874. The Ottoman Turkish occupation of this land from 1516 to 1917 is also covered here.
