Jerusalem

A Biblical and Historical Case for the Jewish Capital

De: Jay Sekulow

Narrado por: Otis Jiry

In his new book, New York Times best-selling author Jay Sekulow presents a political and historical rationale for the existence of Israel as a sovereign nation.

The State of Israel and its very right to exist is a lynchpin issue not only in the Middle East, but is a critical issue to the world at large. Whether it is the blatant and stated desire of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth, or the more subtle but equally insidious aim to delegitimize Israel's existence through efforts at UNESCO, the goal is the same - to get rid of Israel.

Here is the audiobook that defends Israel's right to exist as a sovereign nation. As chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, Jay Sekulow has fought with Israel hand-in-hand in some of Israel's most strategic, international battles. Now, he has pulled together the definitive and comprehensive look at Israel - one of the world's most controversial nations - and its importance to us as Americans and as a key focal point to the future of the world.

Sekulow looks at the legal case for its prominence, as well as the historical and political rationale for its existence as a sovereign nation and homeland for Jews today, and encourages listeners to stand with him against the hatred, lies, and efforts to delegitimize one of the world's oldest nations.

Compelling Case for the Israeli Capital City

Jay Sekulow lays out a compelling case in his, “Jerusalem, A Biblical and Historical Case for the Jewish Capital”. In this work he outlines the full history of not just the case for Jerusalem itself, but for Israel as a whole; focusing on the legal basis for the modern existence of the State and, as the title implies, the fixing of Jerusalem as its capital. Indeed, the very case made in this book is that which has been successfully tried in front of the International Court in the Hague and in the United Nations. Unless laws change, the points made my Sekulow here will continue to stand, and undoubtedly more of the world will recognize Israel’s right, granted to every other nation on the planet, to choose its own capital. While the Biblical or Talmudic case could be disputed by non-believers, the historical case is very strong.

If you love Israel, this is a must read

The best depth of understanding in concise facts, spiritually and historically, not only regarding Jerusalem as Capital of God’s Covenant people, but also Israel as their rightfully beloved national home.

Thorough History

I grew up knowing there was war in the Middle East but never really understood all the components. I really appreciate this thorough examination through historical, legal and ethical research.

Jay Sekulow is the “Spock” of Israel logic!

Mr Sekalow’s point by point review of FACTS, dispels the ongoing and inappropriately supported urban myth and confabulatory arguments made and supported by the “haters” of the Jewish state Israel.

Up until now I used to pride myself on possessing at least a reasonable knowledge of the historical facts that have led the world to the current situation in Israel. In specifics , the ever chronic problem of the Palestinian Arabs and their vengeful and non-negotiable quest for their own state/country. However, while I always thought that their are “two sides to any story”, my read of Mr Sekalow’s book has concluded essentially the same truism. There is the truth (facts) that the Palestinian Arab population both in Israel and abroad do NOT have any legal, historical , spiritual or even ethical RIGHT to the current post 1967 war borders of the state of Israel, but the stunning facts as presented in a rationale, logical, and irresolvable factual basis as presented by Mr Sekulow’s book, demonstrably demonstrates that there just isn’t any way to argue rationally from the current point of those who state that not only are they “entitled” to the state of Israel, as well as the rest of the land known as Eretz Yisrael. The current borders of Israel. To attempt to have a rationale discourse with anyone who tries to dispute the leviathan amounts of historical factual basis, is like trying to argue with a suffering soul schizophrenic proportions.

If only the Palestinian Arabs could elect leaders that would not insist on the destruction of Israel and all of Jewry, and not insist on what never was nor never will theirs (Jerusalem) , then it would be my humble opinion that a majority of reasonable Israelis would consider the ceding of some land to allow the Palestinian Arab population a homeland. Not to mention the current country of Jordan, who could easily offer to cede some of their sovereign territory to allow the Palestinian Arab a place to call home. However as Mr Sekulow has eloquently and logically systematically put it, Jerusalem and the current borders of Israel always were, and will always be of and for the Jewish people.
A much needed, non-PC tome of factual history that is sorely needed in our age of “information” where anyone with little funds, little knowledge and access to the internet can continue to spread the ugly diatribe of hate, xenophobia, and extreme stubbornness.

Thank you Mr Sekulow for writing this!

Listened in spurts

I didn't listen all in one time. It's stretched out over several months I think. But that's just me. I tend to do that with history books. Even so I really liked it. I'll end up listening to it multiple times I'm sure. It was easy to understand but not distracting while I worked. Like I said it'll take me more than one listen to catch it all, but I'll enjoy listening again.

Amazing Truth

if you are interestethuss is the book d 😉 n Middle Eastern and Biblical history an archeology, then

a truly excellent presentation

a great book clearly accurately defines Israel's right of existence in both biblical archaeological historical and legal terms

Jerusalem by Jay Sekulow

This is a monumental work discussing the rights of the Jewish People to their own land and Israel’s right to exist in a hostile world but alas, as Balaam said in his prophecy “It is a nation that shall dwell alone”. That is just a painful fact.
It should be read by all - both those in favor and those opposing the Jewish State as well as those sitting on the fence, in order to have clear insight into all the issues.
The narration is very good but has to loose at least one star for the absolutely atrocious pronunciation of Hebrew names and terms. Surely Mr Jiry you could have taken the trouble to learn to pronounce these names and terms properly. That was the only disappointing part of an otherwise excellent performance.

Details are enlightening

Very eye-opening . Spurred me on to be more active in protection of their legal rights
