Ever since the God of Israel committed His word into the hands of men and women, the enemy has tried to extinguish the light. That is why God has long been about the business of restoring biblical truth. Restoration usually is attended by controversy. The restoration of the gospel's foundations occasioned much conflict during the Reformation. The restoration of a vision for world evangelization caused a similar storm in the days of Wesley, Whitfield, Judson, Studd and Hudson Taylor. The restoration of the refreshing wind of the Holy Spirit has shaken and stirred the Body of Messiah out of complacency time and again during the 20th century. The restoration of the prophetic has been followed by much attack in the past 20 years. Now the penultimate restoration is upon us — the clear teaching and pure revelation concerning the restoration of Israel. |

For
centuries the primarily Gentile Body of Messiah has averted it eyes from
the Jewish people. A cold heart toward Israel developed theological excuses
for not loving the apple of God's eye (Zech.2:8), excuses which today
are called 'Replacement Theology'. From Chrysostom to Luther, Christian
calls for Jewish genocide (at worst) and humiliation and persecution of
Israel (at best) echo down the corridors of Christian time. The image
of the cross became a feared symbol for many Jews, representing Christian
hatred instead of the sacrificial love of Messiah. The rich prophetic
Scriptures describing the restoration of Israel
became putty which preachers twisted at will. The Jewish people's
glorious future was arrogantly ignored, and instead has been reinterpreted
to refer to the love song of a Gentile God for His non-Jewish bride.
The 20th century has witnessed the physical restoration of a significant part of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland of Israel. This stunning event has shaken much of Christian theology. The Jews are back on the pages of history with a vengeance! The subject of Jewish restoration is no longer a spider web-covered excursus to be found in dusty seminary libraries. It has become the leading story on television nightly news. God has captured the attention of the world. It's about time that the Church also begins to pay attention! This section of the web page deals with words — articles, books and up-to-date perspectives about Israel, the restoration of the Jewish people, and Middle Eastern realities. A Messianic Perspective on the Restoration of David's Tabernacle As the God of Israel begins to focus world attention on the restoration of the Jewish people to their own land and to their own Messiah as described in Amos 9, a new Christian teaching has arisen which reinterprets those texts. Instead of allowing Amos' prophecy to refer to Jewish restoration, his words are now said to find their fulfillment in Gentile worship and intercession. What do Amos' words describing the restoration of David's Tent really mean? How can believers rejoice in the restoration of prophetic worship and intercession, while holding fast to the glorious hope of Jewish restoration?

Is Islam a religion of peace? Does jihad mean 'holy war' or is it merely a Muslim term for self-improvement? Is Allah the same as the God of the Bible? What does the Koran teach about the future of the Jewish people and Christians, and how will this affect upcoming Middle East events? |

Israel The Key to World Revival This 210 page book deals with God's heart and plan for Israel as laid out in the biblical text. It gives a solid foundation and grounding for someone who wants to interact in depth with God's reasons and purposes in choosing the Jewish people. Many relevant topics are discussed including the Father's heart for Israel, the gifts and calling of Israel, the biblical priority of Israel, 'dragon theology' (the spiritual roots of anti-Semitism), 'the bear and the bunny' ('court etiquette' betweens Jews and Gentiles in the body of Messiah), how to comfort Israel without abandoning the gospel, the last-days Jewish army of God, etc. |

Here is
what some people are saying about this book:
Avner has profound insight into the mystery of God concerning Israel, and I thank God for this insight. I recommend this book to all who desire to cooperate with God in His purpose in Israel. Mike Bickle, Director, International House of Prayer, Grandview, Missouri; author, Passion for Jesus; co-author Growing In The Prophetic The closer we get to the end of the age, the more essential it will be for every believer to rightly understand God's purposes for Israel. Boskey's important book - written with clarity, wit, and sound biblical foundations - will go a long way toward setting the record straight. The Church has not replaced Israel, nor is it possible for final, worldwide revival to culminate without Israel and the Jewish people being right in the thick of it all. If you're hungry for truth, this book is for you.Dr. Michael L. Brown, President, ICN Ministries, Charlotte, North Carolina; author, Our Hands Are Stained with Blood; Israel's Divine Healer; Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus. This book reveals the heartbeat of God for Israel, His people through whom He will yet bless the nations. It pulls biblical prophecy, history and the geography of the land of Israel together into a cohesive vision: world revival cannot and will not happen until the Gentile church recognizes God's passion for His chosen people. I leave this book with a greater intercessory heart for Israel, with more urgent prayers for the strength of God's people to endure the upheaval that is sure to come, yet with a more intense anticipation of the indescribable glory of God that lies just ahead for us.Don Finto, Executive Director, The Caleb Company, Nashville, Tennessee ISRAEL: KEY TO WORLD REVIVAL sets the record straight - Israel is no mere historical footnote, nor just a prophetic timepiece; Israel will once again play a leading role in the salvation of the world. Boskey writes with passion yet never yields to wild-eyed eschatological speculation. Scholarly but never boring, this book is a must for anyone who takes the Bible seriously. Wayne Hilsden, Senior Pastor, King of Kings Congregation, Jerusalem An excellent piece, hard hitting, Scriptural and prophetic in tone . . . Clearly written for any honest person searching for answers concerning Israel and the Church. Daniel Juster, President, Tikkun Ministries, Gaithersburg, Maryland; author, Jewish Roots; co-author Israel, The Church and The Last Days For over thirty years I've read a slew of "Israel Books," most of them strongly subjective and quick to cast timeline scenarios that are soon outdated. Boskey brings us to biblical bedrock in understanding the role of the Jewish people and their chosen place in God's plan for the nations. He allows the prophetic Scriptures to speak for themselves, revealing profound truths long ignored by the Church. A must read as we move toward the culmination of history as we've known it. Tom White, Director, Frontline Ministries, Corvallis, Oregon; author, The Believer's Guide To Spiritual Warfare This book is available from Final Frontier Ministries. Cost is USD $20.00 which includes postage and handling (TN residents add applicable sales tax).
