A Sword on the Land

Appreciated This Book Very Much

A few days ago I finished reading Pastor Bill Randles’ book, “A Sword On the Land.” I appreciated this book very much. The prophecies from the Old Testament prophets regarding end times have been very difficult to understand. I realize that prophecies have several levels of fulfillment. However, not having a current geographic “point-of-reference” for the prophecies was a big problem. Pastor Randles did an excellent job of letting the reader know what the ancient nations of biblical times are currently called.

He also effectively brought history forward and showed how ancient prophecies are quite pertinent to situations currently in the news today. The fact that he directly quoted the Old Testament prophecies in his book was exceptionally helpful. The reader could see immediately how the prophesies and current world events fit together.

The fact that the prophecies were spoken thousands of years ago, and are being fulfilled in even the tiniest detail is stunning! It is another credible proof of the inerrancy of Scripture.

However, one Bible reference in his book needs correction. On page 21, Randles is quoting a passage in Isaiah. He gives the Scripture reference as Isaiah 24:9-11. This is incorrect. The actual reference is Isaiah 24:19-21.
