Palestine: Centre of World Intrigue
Palestine: Centre of World Intrigue by Howard B. Rand is a provocative prophetic study examining the land of Palestine as the focal point of global conflict, biblical destiny, and end-time controversy. Written from a Covenant Israel / historicist perspective, this book challenges popular assumptions about modern Israel, Zionism, and prophecy by carefully distinguishing between the House of Israel, the House of Judah, and the political forces operating in the Middle East.
Drawing extensively from Scripture, history, and prophecy, Rand argues that Palestine’s modern turmoil is not accidental but foretold - rooted in ancient covenants, divine selections, and biblical warnings. The book explores the Abrahamic promises, the Davidic throne, the identity of Israel, and the prophetic significance of world powers converging on the Holy Land. Special attention is given to Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, and the teachings of Christ, presenting Palestine as the stage upon which global intrigue and spiritual conflict collide.
Originally published in DESTINY magazine in 1949 and later reprinted with updated notes, Palestine: Centre of World Intrigue is an essential work for readers seeking to understand Bible prophecy, Middle East geopolitics, Christian identity, and the deeper spiritual forces shaping world events.
Ideal for students of prophecy, historic Christianity, Covenant Israel teaching, and serious Bible researchers who want Scripture - not modern assumptions - to interpret world history.
