John Piper has an interesting perspective on Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East from 2004 that is worth reading for all who are trying to get a handle on the on going crisis from a Biblical perspective. I went to the Middle East last summer for a couple of weeks and ended up in Jerusalem for a couple of days at the end of the trip. In preparation, I studied quite a bit on the theological, historical, and social issues behind the conflict in the region from the Jewish, Palestinian, and Arab sides. I am coming to some conclusions that have strong implications for foreign policy, global missions, and eschatology and am working on a massive post that I will link here but will host at my other site, writings.downshoredrift.com.  Read the Piper article as background material for what is coming. It should be interesting.
