Notes
About the Author

Back Cover
A great event is taking place in the world, and almost nobody seems to notice.
It amazes me that many Christian authors who are focused on the last days do not seem to be aware of what is happening in the Jewish community around the world.
Just as the Bible predicted, the Jewish people are being restored to their land and to their Messiah. Not in some far distant end timesbut right now!
Although Jewish people who accept Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) are often ostracized by their families, friends and business associates, Jews all over the world are turning to Him and becoming Messianic Jews in numbers not seen since the first century.
I am weary of reading the dogmatic positions expressed in much apocalyptic literature. Some authors will tell you with absolute confidence that they know exactly when and where the significant events of eschatology are to take place. Yet in most instances they ignore some of the clearest prophetic promises concerning the last days.
Perhaps the saddest reality of all is that predominant eschatological positions today frequently impede efforts by evangelical believers to reach Jewish people with the Gospeland discount the relevance of doing so.
I have written this book in juxtaposition with what is out there on the subject of the last days. Like the little mirror on the right side of your car suggests, Objects in your mirror are closer than you think.
I hope you enjoy reading this book. And if you have any Jewish friends in your life who may be open to reading it, pass it along to them.
I am so thankful to the Lord for the incredible people He has, by His grace, brought into my life. They have been my inspiration and a source of great joy.
First, to my beautiful wife, Elisangela, and my two precious daughters, Liel and Hannah. From the moment I leave on one of my many missions trips, I miss you and cant wait to return home. Every day I am gone I dream of that moment when I return and am met at our door with your excited screams, Papai is home! I love you more than you can ever imagine!
To the amazing team at Jewish Voice Ministries International, the ministry the Lord has given me the privilege to lead. Your dedication, commitment to excellence and hard work is a source of inspiration daily, and I am so grateful to each and every one of you. Together, we have done great things and will continue to do great things exceedingly, abundantly, beyond all we can ask or think.
To Mary Ellen Breitwiser, Grace Sarber and Jane Campbell for driving this project and me to the finish line. I could not have done it without you!
To the tens of thousands of Jewish Voice supporters and friends. Your partnership in the Gospel has enabled us to go to some of the most remote places on earth to help Jewish communities in need and provide them with free medical care and the Gospel. We could not do what we do without you.
And finally (and most importantly), to my beloved Yeshua HaMashiach. Thank You for redeeming my life.
Are The Times of the Gentiles at an End?
The sixth reason we can know the last days are upon us: The times of the Gentiles are being fulfilled.
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled .
Luke 21:24, emphasis added
I love Jerusalemthere is no other city like it on earth. It is not only the capital of Israel, it is spiritually the capital of the world. Jerusalem is a majestic city that shines like gold as the sun rises in the morning and sets at twilight.
During Israels golden age, Jerusalem was the capital of the great, undivided kingdom of David and Solomon. This was the place where the prophets and great heroes of the Bible worshiped the God of Israel. This is the city where Messiah taught, laid down His life for the sins of mankind and has resurrected, triumphing over death. And it is to this city that Yeshua will return. Indeed, dignitaries and people of all nations still today go there to seek Him.
Interestingly, Jerusalem is not situated in a strategically important location. Unlike places like Megiddo that control the Via Maris (way of the sea), the land bridge that connects the continents of Europe and Asia with Africa, Jerusalem has never had any real military value. The city is not on the ocean, so it has no ports, important for controlling sea trade routes. Yet Jerusalem has been one of the most sought-after land possessions in history. Over the centuries, Jerusalem has been conquered, rebuilt and conquered again. Like the phoenix, Jerusalem has arisen from the ashes after being destroyed time and time againfirst by the Babylonians in 586 BC and again by the Romans in AD 70. After the Romans came the Arabs (sixth century), then the Crusaders (1099), then the Arabs again (fourteenth century), followed by the British (1917), who then gave it to King Abdulla of Jordan. Finally, in 1967 it came back under the control of the Jewish people after almost two thousand years.
