About This Item
Grand Rapids, Mi.: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. 72 pp. including one full-page illustration. Publisher's brown textured paper over boards, lettered in gilt. Spine sunned, else fine.
An eschatological exploration of Biblical prophecies relating to Zionism and the coming Jewish rule of Palestine by American fundamentalist evangelist Harry Rimmer (1890-1952). An interesting feature of Rimmer's predictions is his conclusion that the Dead Sea will provide the government of Israel with vast and immediate wealth in the chemical deposits of the Dead Sea, which will play a role in the apocalypse: "It is largely because of this vast wealth that Russia and her godless allies will invade that devoted land, just at the dawn of That Day when Jesus shall come again. This will be the reason for the storm of battle that shall yet break over Palestine, the last conflict before the setting up of the Kingdom of Heaven and the restoration of Israel to her ancient place as the chosen of God." With a pictorial diagram of the Dead Sea and chemical extraction stages on page 49.
