Showdown of the Gods
PRESS RELEASE from Genesis Communications on "Showdown of the Gods" by Victor SchlatterFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Evening News Won’t Surprise Old Zechariah!People around the world have been glued to their television screens because of the recent terrorist attacks on the United States.  In "Showdown of the Gods", Victor Schlatter helps us understand some of the background manipulations that have been going on among the nations that have brought us to such a day as this.  As George Giacumakis, PhD, a professor of history at California State University shares, "[Victor’s] comments on the positions of Islamic nations toward Israel are especially notable, even as he relates these positions to the statements of biblical prophets."Although written before the New York and Washington attacks, "Showdown of the Gods" reads as if it was taken from the pages of today’s newspapers.  Victor discusses events such as "suicide bombers" (P. 146); nations getting a bit edgy at "the prospect of getting their airliners and World Trade Centers blown up when they happen to pick the wrong side in an international dispute" (P. 18); and the fact that, "creeping ever closer to home is the physical threat of violence and terrorism that no longer recognizes international boundaries" (P.153).He discusses the naïve concept of the Global Village, the Islamic "jihad", and the greed and ineptitude of so many leaders today, tying them all in with prophecies from the Old Testament.  He shares that "the days may not be too far around the corner where some would even welcome…repressive sovereignty in contrast to the chaos which predictably may well be erupting…."  He further warns us about "…the kind of worldwide conspiracy that seems to prevail these days…" and connects it with prophecies in the New Testament.Victor’s background as a nuclear scientist, linguist and translator of the Bible in Papua New Guinea, representative of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, and extensive world traveler and lecturer prepares him to present a unique analysis of international affairs in the light of Scripture.The world received a wake-up call in the recent attacks.  Victor Schlatter helps us understand what that call means and how to respond to it.Published by Genesis Communications, Inc. under Gazelle Press.
