At an early summer estate sale, I happened to buy two books by a new author, Joel C. Rosenberg, The Last Jihad, and The Last Days. Being a Bible student, I was fascinated by the way he so deftly wove Bible prophecy into his work of fiction, and before I finished the second book I was searching for the next in the continuing saga..."The Ezekiel Option"....which I was lucky enough to win on Ebay. Rosenberg has an uncanny ability to make sense of the most complex of prophecies, and throughout his books it has been noted that much of what has happened in recent years...starting with 9/ll, and what is continuing to unfold in present day news stories, such as the problems with Iran and Russia, has been very closely aligned with details that he had "imagined" in his books. Next in the series is "The Copper Scroll", which I also won on Ebay and find it just as spellbinding and fascinating. Recently it has been learned that the FBI also knows about Joel Rosenberg and his gift of understanding prophecy, and I am told that contacted him and urged him to write a non-fiction account of just how he came to the conclusions that flesh out his works of fiction. That non-fiction work is entitled "Epicenter", and it was one of my latest wins on Ebay....I can hardly wait to receive it. Without question, this man is a fantastic writer with a very creative mind, but what really impresses me is his discernment for Old Testament prophecy. For anyone who is interested in Bible prophecy, he makes it come alive, to be sure. He is a very talented writer who, though he writes about real time dangers and atrocities, manages to assure the reader that all is well in the world because God is in control!Read full review
Once I began reading the series by Joel C. Rosenberg I could hardly stop! Beginning with his first book, The Last Jihad, my interest was piqued and I wanted to read them all! The Ezekiel Option was easy to understand regardless of your knowledge of religion. The author explained the connections he was making in terms anyone could comprehend. I truly hope his work is fiction and not a prediction of events to come. Reading today's headlines, we can see how they parallel his writings. I have began his next book, The Copper Scrolls, so far I am intrigued and not disappointed.
Fast paced and exciting! From the first sentence to the last! Written as fiction but it could actually happen and play-out in this fashion. You will see characters created after living heads of state, presidents, dictators. Many events are taken from our actual news. If you loved the Left Behind series, you will love this series. This is book 4. I read this first and now have to read the first 3 books, which take place from just before 9/11 on. Joel wrote the first book, completely, before 9/11 even happened! Uncanny! Highly recommended series.
I loved this book. The Bible's description of the last days and Jesus' second coming has always been interesting to me. Joel Rosenberg's interpretation of the book of Ezekiel and how it could play out is amazing and you can envision these events currently in the works when compared to today's world events unfolding right before our eyes. The end is definitely not far off. EXCELLENT READ!
Love the author. Books are captivating.
