Israel and the Endtimes, review by Ashirah Yosefa
Sunday, February 4th, 2007Dr. Eugene Narrett’s third book, Israel and the Endtimes: Writings on the Logic and Surface Turbulence of History, is a collection of decisive and succinctly-worded essays on the world events impacting the nation of Israel during the years 2003-2006, especially the years of the deportations, 2005-06. These essays examine the obvious and subtler trends and issues endangering the vitality and the very existence of the Jewish people and nation of Israel. Narrett then expands his commentary to address the nations that befriend and assail Israel and traces these conflicts back to their roots, some of which are firmly anchored in antiquity.
It is rare in today’s world to find an individual possessing such penetrating vision into what the “powers that be” strive so hard to conceal. Eugene Narrett communicates his insights clearly and intelligently, with integrity and conviction. The author’s impressive knowledge of world history, of Torah, of Tanach and the Zohar, as well as the great works of classical literature and mythology, turn his essays into compelling tapestries of revealed facts, insights and foresights that demand a response from the reader. The emotions stirred by an honest reading of Israel and the Endtimes are diverse:
Astonishment, dismay, anger, sadness, trepidation, perhaps for some disbelief, while others will feel a growing sense of resolve, a need to respond to what the author lays bare on the pages of his book. The discerning eye will see unmistakable evidence of the faithfulness of the G-d of Israel to His Word and to His nation despite the disconcerting antics of man and governments.
