Publisher's Synopsis
The nation of Israel has played a significant part in the history of the world as God's chosen nation. As a response to the growing anti-Semitic climate in today's culture, this informative text sheds light on Israel's vast historical and religious importance. The Bible makes very specific claims for the promises God made to the nation of Israel concerning its future. Presenting an all-inclusive view of relevant scripture, the book offers the biblical facts behind Israel's history and future. Written to perform as a textbook, study aide, or outline for sermons, God's Alarm Clock discusses the seminal topics surrounding Israel: - A breakdown of the content in the Abrahamic Covenant in its two parts - The Davidic Covenant concerning King David's direct bloodline to the Messiah - Israel's role among the nations of the world - The formation of the twelve tribes of Israel - The controversy of the Jews' role as God's chosen people and the varying ideologies regarding it - Jesus's death, resurrection, and mission, as well as His relationship to Israel - God's plan for humankind, as nations and individuals - The book of Revelations and Jesus's second coming This comprehensive book will explain it all and build a foundational knowledge of Israel that every Christian should have under their belt. Mark T. Frost was born and raised on the Cape Flats in Cape Town South Africa. At the age of twenty-three and in pursuit of the Truth he started to read the Bible, a search that resulted in a meeting with the Lord of the scriptures Himself, Jesus Christ. A fervent student of the Bible with several years of Bible studies behind him, the author and a colleague went to Mozambique in 1989 to start training church leaders in that war torn country. Very early in his missionary calling Mark had a vision for the unification of the Church, the worldwide body of Christ, the biggest living organism in the universe. In cooperation with several international Christian organisations having as their main thrust leadership training within the church, the work steadily grew to include all denominations, both mainstream and independent, in the capital city Maputo. By the time Mark left Mozambique ten years later the work had expanded and covered most of the major districts in southern Mozambique. Today the author resides in Sweden with His family.
