The Ezekiel Option
Joel C. Rosenberg
Tyndale, July 2005, $22.95, 446 pp.
ISBN 1414303432
Oil and natural gas were found in and around the Red Sea, so much so that the Jews and Palestinians joined forces to create an oil producing company that brought wealth to the area and peace to an unstable region. Russian oil prices plummeted putting the country in a great recession but the president was in favor of the oil for peace program initiated by the United States. That plan ended when the U.S. destroyed a Russian plane with women and children aboard that looked like it was going to crash into the White House.
The Russians attack the United States for such an aggressive act saying that there were no terrorists on that plane. A coup in Russia brought to power a Hitler like tyrant who used the airplane disaster to kill the elected leader of the country. He brings about a European coalition that is willing to go to war against Israel using nuclear devices if that country doesn’t unilaterally disarm. With no allies to turn to, only the promise in Ezekiel can save Israel from total annihilation.
Readers who loved the Left Behind series will definitely want to read THE EZEKIEL OPTION. While LEFT BEHIND takes place minutes before the Rapture, this novel takes place as events leading to the rapture begin. The events that take place in this book are all too plausible and fans of action thrillers will find themselves thoroughly immersed in the storyline so much so that they will not be able to put the book down until the last page is turned.
