Psalms Parallels: Modern History Hidden in the Psalms

Psalms Parallels by Sarah Rae compares world headlines of the current century with the narrative of the Book of Psalms. Prophecy collides with modern history in a fresh, new way as the Psalms tell the story of the regathering of Israel from the ends of the earth back into their homeland. From the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the birth of Israel in 1948, from Israel’s victory in the Six Day War of 1967 to the aliyah of Beta Israel Jews from Sudan, from the Balfour Declaration to the Red Sea Diving Resort, from the Holocaust to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital -- each exciting chapter reveals new revelations of God’s heart for Israel.

Each chapter includes a summarized theme from the respective psalm compared to an historical event from the parallel year of history. Psalm Parallels is a fascinating book that will help readers understand not only the relevance of prophecy in the Bible, but the applicability of it in our lives today. The revelations throughout Psalms all culminate in one thing: the return of the Jewish Messiah to Israel!
