As waves of suicide bombers and other bloody attacks by Palestinians bring
the predictable Israeli retaliations, the peace process in the Holy Land
appears all but dead. It seems that no one-neither the principals in the
struggle nor outside powers-has been able to broker a peace. Are the circumstances
ripe for still another power to assert itself, fulfilling Bible prophecy?

that fuels their hatred? A look at history helps us understand the answers

Isn't It About Time You Read the Book?

it?
