Did Joel Rosenberg know?
Jerusalem Post ^

Posted on 01/18/2009 11:24:02 AM PST by LittleBranch

Speaking on Army Radio Sunday morning, an exhilarated Yitzhak Tshuva, owner of the Delek Group Ltd, one of the owners of the well, called the discovery "one of the biggest in the world," promising that the find would present a historic land mark in the economic independence of Israel.

Would it be a good idea to invest in one of the companies mentioned in the article?

You’re right - the article didn’t mention Rosenberg.
He wrote about this scenario years ago in the “The Last Jihad”, and as you’ll notice from many of the other comments thus far - the rest of the series is equally as prescient.
While Joel dismisses any private foreknowledge, he plainly states (and this is my paraphrase), that he writes of what might happen based on what the Bible says will happen.

I have read all of his books, but Dead Heat, the last one, is downright scary!

“Fear not.”
Seeing that these things are close at hand, what manner of persons ought we to be?

Joel Rosenberg’s novels are awesome.

Time and again his fiction has turned to fact before our eyes from a (pre 9/11 hijacked airliner) terrorist attack on America and the US invasion of Iraq to Arafat’s death and the installation of terrorists as a political presence in Gaza. His research is impeccable; his thriller scenarios accurate and insightful.

He looks behind the scenes in the White House, the State Department and the various intelligence agencies in ways that few writers accomplish (outside of Tom Clancy in his heyday) and to top it off he’s an excellent story-teller.

His Christianity is ever present and a blessing, but it’s not intrusive or “preachy” in ways that many other end-times series written from a Christian perspective tend to be. He creates totally believable characters, not cartoonish over-the-top stereotypes. Start with “The Last Jihad” and you’ll be hooked.

Since you asked, in my opinion The Ezekiel Option is the best of the series. The scariest, and my least favorite is the last book, Dead Heat. (I don't want to be too much of a spoiler for those who have yet to read the books.)

I've only read 2 books by him.

Ezekiel Option is great. If you want a fiction book as a synopsis of the Gog/Magog war, it is excellent.

Epicenter is not fiction. In it he lays out why he has written what he has written. And how he comes to his reasoning.

While Ezekiel Option makes a great "story" to read, that feels as if its almost ripped from todays headlines. Epicenter gives you the facts and background.

Read Ezekiel Option for entertainment. Read Epicenter for learning.
