Softcover 9 x 6 inches. 296 pages each (280 + xvi) Over 100 maps &
illustrations.
Full-color original cover art. 20 pages of comprehensive indexes
(persons,
places, and subjects). The most comprehensive works of their kind!
The Origins And Empire Of Ancient Israel. A fresh look at the early
history of Israel, with special emphasis on the little-known and immensely
important events that helped to shape our modern world. Here is the
untold story of Israels sojourn in Egypt and evidence that Gods People visited
distant lands in Europe and America in ancient times. Author Steven
Collins retells the story of the Book of Genesis and the lives of the
Patriarchs with a keen insight into the meaning of interesting clues that other
authors have missed. This is not just a rehash of history, but a
re-analysis of a foundational book of Holy Scripture in the light of
subsequent events and Bible prophecy. In addition to all of that, it is
quite a good read! The central theme of this book is the Biblical
Covenant which God made with the Patriarchs and their descendants. This included
the Biblical promise of numerous descendants who would build powerful,
wealthy nations. This exciting story is told with the aid of over 100 maps,
charts, and illustrations; 20 pages of comprehensive indexes. Beautiful
original cover artwork depicts Jacobs prophetic blessing found in Genesis chapter
48. Softcover 6x9 inches, 296 pages (280+xvi)A book you will treasure!
Israels Lost Empires. Was ancient Israel a land-locked nation or a
seacoast trading empire? In this fascinating study, historian Steven M. Collins
details the little-known story of Israels ancient empires. Not only did
King Davids land empire stretch clear across the Mid-East to
Mesopotamia, but Israel boasted a navy rivaling the famed Phoenicians, and in fact
dominated them. Hebrew ships plied the Mediterranian, establishing
colonies along the European and North African coasts. Israels influence in the
ancient city-state of Carthage has never before been so thoroughly
documented, nor her definite presence in early Britain. New evidence is
presented also suggesting that her ships visited the North American
continent, as well. This study plows much new ground in ancient
history. Mr. Collinsknack for patient research and logical deduction is only
exceeded by a lively and riveting writing style that will surely hold
the readers attention to the last page. Over 100 maps and illustrations
complement this unique study!

3. Rudy Rempel: Question on The Oath of Abraham to the Philistines?
Question:
>Dear Yair
>Can you tell me what significance is of the covenant that Abraham made
>with the Philistine Abimelek, his offspring and descendants? The
covenant is found in Bereshith 21:22-34. Is this covenant still binding?
Answer:
[Genesis 21:23] NOW THEREFORE SWEAR UNTO ME HERE BY GOD THAT THOU WILT
NOT DEAL FALSELY WITH ME, NOR WITH MY SON, NOR WITH MY SON'S SON: BUT
ACCORDING TO THE KINDNESS THAT I HAVE DONE UNTO THEE, THOU SHALT DO
UNTO ME, AND TO THE LAND WHEREIN THOU HAST SOJOURNED.
[Genesis 21:24] AND ABRAHAM SAID, I WILL SWEAR.
This oath according to some extended only up to the lifetime of the
grandson of Abimelech the Philistine king. Another opinion (Talmud,
Sotah 10;a) says it extended up unto the time of Samson. Commentators have
criticized Abraham for making this oath since by doing so
he needlessly deprived his children of the right to drive out the
Philistines as soon as they could and the Philistines became a source
of vexation to Israel and (apparently backed by the Egyptians) frequently
oppressed Israel.
So too, in our age, the Palestinians are named after the Philistines.
Any agreement with the "Palestinians" is unnecessary
and endangers the physical and spiritual well-being of our children and
their descendants.
4. Letter from Kevin of Crystal Files
From: Eliezer <ctsplus@idig.net>
Subject: Hello Yair,
Shalom Yair,
You most certainly have stayed the course in your work.
Our lives are constantly changing and we are moving on to
new projects and locations. We are now in Powell River
which is north of Vancouver 170 miles. Beautiful place
really. Take a look at our sunset on my new web page
at <www.healthonthego.net> And yes... the first picture
you'll come to is of Miriam our daughter who you'll remember
as a child. Mind you she's still a child, but a bigger one.
You'll find the Powell River sunset under the "file pictures"
heading. The files are from Czechoslovakia.
Anyway, stay healthy and keep the postings coming.
Warmest Regards,
Kevin
