I love the insights and truths James Goll has expressed in The Mystery of Israel and the Middle East . My prayer is that as many read this book, a veil will lift, and they will perceive that everything flows from the center of Gods heartJerusalem.
Jane Hansen Hoyt, CEO and president, Aglow International
I have known James Goll for many years. We have a mutual respect and love for one another as prophets of God. James has done a tremendous job of revealing the origination, restoration and destiny of Israel, as I have in my many books showing the origination of the Church and its restoration and destiny. This book will be a great blessing to the Body of Christ.
Bishop Bill Hamon, founder, Christian International Ministry Network; author, Your Highest Calling
Prophetic statesman James Goll reminds us of a crucially important truth: God is not through with Israel and the Jewish people! Instead, Israel remains central in the unfolding purposes of God, and readers of this edifying and scripturally rich book will learn how to pray and intercede for Israel, as well as see more clearly how the things we do in our own lives, including prayer, worship and evangelism, contribute to the unfolding of these eternal purposes. Read this book and become a co-worker with the Lord.
Dr. Michael L. Brown, host, Line of Fire ; author, Our Hands Are Stained with Blood
This book has some wonderful nuggets of prophetic perspective that will prove helpful for anyone wanting to more deeply grasp Gods heart and strategy for His chosen Jewish people. Goll has walked with Israel close to his heart for many decades, and this volume reflects some of the fruit of his heart.
Avner Boskey, Final Frontier Ministries
I have known James Goll for more than forty years, and I have witnessed firsthand his love for Gods Word, commitment to prayer and hunger to contend for Gods purposes in this generation. These ingredients are brought together in a practical and inspirational way in this book, which will hold a special place among Golls many books over the years that have proven to be practical resources for the Body of Christ.
Mike Bickle, founder, International House of Prayer, Kansas City
James Goll is a dear brother, and I appreciate this timely and relevant book revealing Gods heart for Israel and the Middle East. I am pleased to recommend this timely and relevant book as it inspires passionate prophetic intercession for the fullness of restoration of the families of Abraham.
David Demian, facilitator, Watchmen for the Nations
Golls insight on Israel and the Middle East through his lens as a prophetic intercessor is a present-truth understanding that came to him by spiritual revelation. His desire is for you to have personal illumination of this mystery that is now being fulfilled in these climactic days. Tiqvah (to look hopefully) is yours to behold as the Holy Spirit encourages you with this masterful work.
Mickey Robinson, co-founder, Prophetic Destiny International
James Goll is a dear friend. I pay attention to what he shares because he prophesies in the fear of the Lord. James is used as a seer to help the Body of Messiah to see far ahead. He received long ago the heart of God for Israel and for the Isaiah 19 region, which includes Egypt, Israel and most of the Middle East. This book will help you to receive Gods heart and understanding as you intercede for this complicated region.

Foreword
I am smiling as I consider James Goll and his newest book, The Mystery of Israel and the Middle East. I have walked this path with Israel and the Jewish people for years, and have traveled to Israel and the Middle East every yearoften two and three times a year for more than two decadesyet still I am intrigued and blessed with Jamess insights.
If you have been wondering why so many believers take such a keen interest in the Jewish people, the nation of Israel and their surrounding neighbors, this book is for you. Yet for those of us who for years have loved and prayed for this chosen host people, this book is for us. You will love the way James weaves together Scripture with history, and biblical prophecy with the present-day prophetic movement that is such a part of Jamess life.
In chapter 5, you will begin to see the parallels between the prophetic fulfillment that happens with the Jewish people and the corresponding prophetic work among the Church. When Israel gains land, the Church gains landthe side-by-side birth of Zionism (the Jewish return to the land) and the Pentecostal outpouring of the early twentieth century; the birth of the nation of Israel in 1948 and the birth of the healing revival; Israels restoration to Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967 and the beginning of the Jesus Movement and the charismatic renewal.
