Wooooww !!!!!!By lakemalawiIts a lot more I have to read..but from the start it open your eyes to all the false gods people worship even today; showing you symbols; art; etc etc...but for as the name of God most people call on today is the names of the pagin gods in the pass......Wow. think about that....if its possible deceive the very elect. ..even the whole world...something to think about. ..3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. ANCIENT ISRAEL UNFOLDED....By KJLearning about ancient Israel is very imperative as not much history is revealed in The Scriptures we have today. Quite eye opening and causes one to think and continue to research what it was really like and why they acted like they did. If only more people would move outside of the box and instead of being spoon fed every Sunday; begin to search for truth on their own! You would be amazed at what you find!! Do you honestly know why you believe what you believe?
