The End of Israel: Jesus, Paul & AD70 - Paperback

by Michael Bull (Author)

Are the Jews still God's chosen people? Was the establishment of modern Israel a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? The persistence of Judaism since the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 has been a perpetual conundrum for Christian theologians. History would have been so much simpler if God had never called Abraham. Theology would be so much easier if God had never established the nation of Israel. The Jewish people have been the targets of inordinate hatred, the subjects of inordinate love, and also the cause of endless conflict over the correct interpretation of many prophetic statements in the Bible, especially those of Jesus and Paul. A holistic, structural analysis of the Bible not only clarifies the "end" of Israel in AD70 as a fulfillment of its intended purpose but also extrapolates its patterns to explain the true nature of Rabbinic Judaism and the State of Israel today.
