Peace in the Middle East???

A topic like this one always catches my attention, because biblical prophecy has been a huge part of my life. The Middle East and, more importantly, the goal of peace in that region is a key cornerstone in the prophecies that are to come. The presenter/lecturer man was very teacher-like in the way that he spoke.

One of the most important thing in a lecture is to get people's attention. Because of the title and the topic that he was discussing, most of the audience was already interested and ready to learn. However, continuing from that point requires a little more. He then proceeded to inform us about the background of the current situation in the Middle East. To me, this was more of a review, because I have studied this on my own in more detail. I bought a few books, especially Six Days of War. This book was very informative and detailed, not only about the Six Day War, but as a quick summary of the whole Israel-Palestinian Conflict. The speaker set many preconceptions straight and informed us of the actuality of the situation.

Over all this was a great lecture to go out and learn about the world around me. Also, get a tighter grasp on the knowledge I already have on the situation. I know that in the future, I will be able to inform many of this situation, and what the Bible says about it.
