"A Rabbi Looks at the Last Days" was a little disappointing to me. There were several insights I walked away with from this book, but overall, I would not recommend this book to someone who wanted different insights to the End Times that had a knowledge of the Bible.
It seemed like Jonathan Bernis' target audience was to the Jewish people or to members of his own congregation. He kept mentioning the house of Israel as only consisting of Jews, or the house of Judah, but there are 10 other houses that make up Israel and each house has a job to do before Jesus Christ comes back the second time; not just the Jews.
Bernis' outlook on the Garden of Eden and Satan's role in this world was fascinating. I grew up reading the Bible and have attended regular church meetings. I've heard the story of the Garden with Eve, the apple, the serpent; all is very familiar. Bernis taught me that Satan has this demented vision that he can still win. And because he believes this, and he he knows that if he doesn't win, his time is drawing to a close and his end is near.
I'm not doing this description justice. If you are going to read "A Rabbi Looks at the Last Days" read the first 5 chapters and that should be sufficient. I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House to review.
