Who is Israel?: yesterday, to day, and for ever
Who is Israel?The Christian community is divided over this question. Modern Bible versions have muddied the waters. For decades, seminaries have unwittingly led their students astray. Pastors are confused. People are misguided. The end is near, and many are unprepared. In this hard-hitting treatise Pastor Matt Furse explains how the "theology train" got off the track, what this false doctrine is doing to our country, and what the Bible-believer needs to be prepared for in the days ahead. Eschatology cannot be rightly divided until Israel is properly defined. The End Times is at hand... and, the misunderstandings about "Israel" will play a HUGE role in all of it! Who is Israel? Do you know? Are your sure?

Pastor Matt Furse is the pastor of the Mountainview Baptist Church, in Custer, South Dakota. Although the subject of “Israel” and “end time events” are both very important issues to Pastor Furse, nothing is as important as his top priorities to both his immediate family, and his church family. Visit the church’s website to see what he really spends most of his time doing! Matt has also recorded a professional music CD entitled The Country Parson. He has also written a book addressing the question of the identity of Israel in our modern time entitled Who is Israel?
Matt’s Testimony
By the grace of God, I was raised in a home in which both of my parents were saved, born-again, Christians. From the early days in my life, I can remember going to church with my parents, and I even remember seeing one of them getting baptized. Later, I witnessed my grandparents (dad's parents) getting saved, and then baptized, as well... I mention this because it is special. Not everyone had(or has) the privilege of having a genuine, Christian family atmosphere. When I was born, Dad was a "business man", working his way up the "ladder of success" in the business world. (He worked for wealthy men like Trammell Crow & Preston Robert Tisch.) We would be transferred from City to City, always increasing in the world's eyes with a higher paying job, a bigger house, and better cars, etc. But, somewhere along the way, God began to speak to my dad about switching "careers"... God had called my dad into the ministry.
When he made public his intentions to leave "the life" he had, it was not greeted with the "approval"of other friends & family members, but, my mom was willing to follow, and so, they left it all behind. ...At that point, my dad, mom, sister, and myself were all headed for a big change...At the time, it seemed foolish! Soon, we went from having nice cars - house - clothes - etc., to a much more "simple" lifestyle. We learned the difference between a "duplex apartment" and a "house", but we also discovered that we could still have a home, even if we didn't have a nice, big house to put it in. And, through it all, God began to be much more REAL to all of us, including to myself.
Since I was young, I've understood the story of Jesus, and I believed it. But, when I was about 12 years old, it was then, that I realized I needed not to just "believe" the story in my head, but also to TRUST Jesus for my personal salvation. I then acknowledged Him as Lord & Savior of my life, and I was "born again".So, whatever happened to my family??? Did they eventually "fall apart" - "break up" - "starve to death"? ...No, as a matter of fact, none of us would go back to the "life" we left behind, not even for all the $money$ in the world! We have seen, and experienced, a different life (the real life) that's worth the living, and we say - "no thank you" to what we've left behind.The Furse Family
John 10:9-10: "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
As the years went by, I realized that God wanted to use me in ministry. I answered the "call" to serve Him, in whatever way He had in mind. I finished high school, and attended a local church, with a Bible college, to begin studying for the ministry. While at the college, I met a young lady, by the name of Wilma Schrock, and over time, I was able to convince her to marry me. We were married shortly after our graduation, and have been in the ministry ever since. When God is in the "driver's seat" of your life, ...LIFE IS GOOD!

Who is Israel, past president future

This is the most important book ever written on the subject of Israel—period. No other book so thoroughly analyzes exactly what Israel is by New Testament definition. This book is a must read for every Christian regardless of denomination. Is Israel a geographic location? Is Israel a group of people that call themselves Jews? Is Israel something else? Sadly many people believe they can answer those questions but fall short of Biblical accuracy. Start reading this book today.
