The Mystery of Zion: Israel and the Last Days began as a dissertation in 2014, by Lanny Cook, seven years after serving a short-term mission project in Israel. During his time in Israel, he realized how poorly prepared he was to fully embrace the sights, sounds, diversity, culture, and citizens of the Holy Land. There was a void associated with his visit, as well as the colorful insight provided by the Jewish tour guide. After returning home, Lanny spent considerable time reflecting on the experience. After years of pondering, he finally realized what had been missing within the experience of his time in Israel. During any visit to the Holy Land, it's possible to discover the heart of Israel - the people, places, and stories of her history. But there is only one way to discover the true soul of Israel. That comes through a deep understanding of God’s covenant plan for His chosen people. Without recognizing the soul of Israel, you can never fully relate or connect to her heart. In the years that followed Lanny completed writing “The Mystery of Zion, Israel and the Last Days.” The 1st Edition was officially released May 2018, the 70th anniversary of Israel’s rebirth as a nation. But, after the horrific attack against Israel on October 6th, 2023, and in consideration of the battle facing Israel for her very survival, Lanny was compelled to publish an updated, revised edition of the original book. The prophetic insight regarding the Nation of Israel, contained within the pages of this revised edition is more relevant than ever. The Mystery of Zion: Israel and the Last Days shares profound truth into Biblical prophecies concerning the "End Times," while identifying the role Israel will play in God's plan for humanity. Through prophetic research of the Bible and relevant literature, this study provides astounding evidence regarding God's continued plan for Israel and the Jewish people. Within the early teachings of the Christian Church, a mindset developed which erroneously assumed that with the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God was no longer intimately involved within the affairs of His chosen people or the Nation of Israel. However, there is undeniable evidence that God's everlasting Covenant with His chosen people requires Him to maintain a personal involvement and interest for their existence, their provision, and their purpose not only through this Age of Grace, but into the future, including the Tribulation and the Messiah's Millennial Reign. This existence is essential for God's "End-Time" plans for humanity. Israel is key to the mystery leading to the consummation of God's kingdom at Christ's Second Coming. Biblical prophecies indicate and historical facts substantiate the premise that God is still intimately involved within the affairs of Israel. The Mystery of Zion: Israel's Last Days, Second Edition-Revised, is a spiritual travel guide which provides deep insight into the Holy Land experience. To recognize the soul of Israel you must embrace the reality of God's continued involvement within the most intimate affairs of Israel and her heirs. You will discover deep insight into God’s divine purpose. One that has provided Israel with not only a colorful history dating back thousands of years, but evidence proclaiming her continued existence through the end of the ages. It is a must-read for anyone planning on visiting Israel, or those who are searching for a deeper understanding of the only Nation that was born out of a divine covenant with God Almighty. It's an eye-opening study for anyone who supports Israel, as well as all of those who question Israel's right to exist as a Nation in this modern era. The Mystery of Zion presents dynamic revelation to the mysteries associated with God's continued purpose for Israel and His chosen people which is why it should be on every Christian's required reading list.
