In a world of heightened Middle East tensions, Christians are asking, “What is to become of Israel? Does God still have a plan for the people he once called ‘the apple of my eye’?”
With refreshing clarity Ian Heard proposes that God has provided, in that self-described Pharisee and zealot Saul of Tarsus, a “type”—indeed, an archetype, for his people. In his turning, under the sovereign hand of the Almighty, Saul became Paul, the great missionary-evangelist to the gentile world. In addition he became pastor, theologian, apologist, and defender of the faith. In that event and life, God has given us, in embryo, a beautiful illustration, or “type,” of a far larger and greater turning for Israel.
On solid scriptural foundations and integrity, culminating in an exciting scenario, Ian Heard shows how some of the baffling prophecies of Zechariah and others may come to a profound conclusion in,
‘THE FUSION: Israel in a Biblical End-Time Scenario’
Here’s an excerpt from Prof W A Liebenberg’s review of The Fusion…
‘The author, in this foundational work, THE FUSION: Israel in a Biblical End Time Scenario, lays down clear truths to the confusing array of interpretations and viewpoints that cause many Believers to be confounded.
The author beautifully captures the central theme of the book with a focus on the Biblical principle of Paul as the firstfruits and a representation of a re-grafted Israel. The analogy drawn between Paul's transformation from Saul of Tarsus to a believer in Christ and the potential for the "broken off" Israelite people to undergo a similar spiritual renewal is both insightful and thought-provoking.
The idea that God's hand remains sovereign over those who may have been temporarily set aside, just as He was with Saul, is a powerful message of hope and redemption.’ END QUOTE
