God forbid this come true.....

I recently finished the final book in Joel C Rosenberg's series. It was Dead Heat. VERY FREAKIN GOOD. And God frobid it come true. Or at least the terrorist attack in it.
For those unfamiliar with the series, it all started with The Last Jihad. Now to borrow from the inside cover of the final book. Almost word for word.

"On the first page of Last Jihad, readers are put in the cockpit of a hijacked jet on a kamikaze attack on an American city......."yet written 9 months before 9/11. "The story unfolds....an american president is at war with Saddam Hussein over terroism..."yet published five months before the actual war began.

"2nd novel Last Days opens with an attack on a US diplomatic convoy heading into Gaza, the death of Yasser Arafat, and radical Islamic terrorists trying to seize the West Bank and Gaza".....2 weeks before it was published a US diplomatic convoy was attacked in Gaza, and a mere 13 months later Arafat was dead, and Hamas seized control of Gaza.

"3rd novel The Ezekiel Option a dictator rises to power in Russia, an Iranian leader vows to annihilate Israel, and Russia and Iran form an alliance." "THE VERY DAY THE BOOK CAME OUT Iran elected a new president vowing to accelerate the nuclear program and 4 months later he vowed to take Isareal off the map, and Russia agreed to sell them $1 billion worth of high tech weapons.

4th book The Copper Scroll an ancient scroll describes unimaginable treasures worth billions buried in the hills east of Jerusalem and under the city itself more treasures that could be from the second temple and lead to the building of the 3rd temple. One month after the release, an article was published in Biblical Archeology review about an intensified hunt for such a scroll.. The Copper scroll.

So we can see that Joel C Rosenberg has had an eerie way of unintentially predicting the future. In this last book terrorists launch a MASSIVE nuclear attack on our country. Im talking it makes what we did to Japan look like a popper firecracker. I wont go into too many details, so I dont ruin the story, but its scary. Our government needs to read these, espescially this one, and prevent what they can. Granted this is fiction, but look at the track record of things coming true.

The first 2 books are more like political, action thrillers, I really dont consider them Christian Fiction. But he is classified as such. You may find him in regular though. The last 3, espescially the last 2 get a little religous, not preachy preachy though. Although very intense and at times violent, its not graphic and excessive. There is no foul language nor is there any sex scenes. And the violence is more like intense action. An excellent read for the entire series. You get very attacthed to the chracters, and it blows your mind and kinda hurts you what happens to them as the entire story unfolds. Moments of joy and sadness. Like you really know them, even though they are fictional.

Again pass the word along, read the books, tell me and others what you think, and lets find a way to get our government to read this last one, to prevent the attack that happens, because honestly I REALLY think it could.
