Publisher's summary
In his new book, New York Times best-selling author Jay Sekulow presents a political and historical rationale for the existence of Israel as a sovereign nation.
The State of Israel and its very right to exist is a lynchpin issue not only in the Middle East, but is a critical issue to the world at large. Whether it is the blatant and stated desire of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth, or the more subtle but equally insidious aim to delegitimize Israel's existence through efforts at UNESCO, the goal is the same - to get rid of Israel.
Here is the audiobook that defends Israel's right to exist as a sovereign nation. As chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, Jay Sekulow has fought with Israel hand-in-hand in some of Israel's most strategic, international battles. Now, he has pulled together the definitive and comprehensive look at Israel - one of the world's most controversial nations - and its importance to us as Americans and as a key focal point to the future of the world.
Sekulow looks at the legal case for its prominence, as well as the historical and political rationale for its existence as a sovereign nation and homeland for Jews today, and encourages listeners to stand with him against the hatred, lies, and efforts to delegitimize one of the world's oldest nations.

Story
Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today’s clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.

Story
Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

Most people - even people of faith - do not understand how the Bible fits together. Too many Christians accept half an inheritance, content to embrace merely the New Testament, while Jewish people may often experience the same by embracing only the Old Testament. But God has an intricate plan and purpose for both the Old and the New. In Mysteries of the Messiah, Rabbi Jason Sobel reveals the many connections in Scripture hidden in plain sight. Known for his emphatic declaration “but there’s more!” he guides us in seeing the passion and purpose of the Messiah.

In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly praised A History of God, traces the history of how Jews, Christians, and Muslims have all laid claim to Jerusalem as their holy place, and how three radically different concepts of holiness have shaped and scarred the city for thousands of years.

On a hot summer afternoon in 1928, the leaders of the world assembled in Paris to outlaw war. Within the year, the treaty signed that day, known as the Peace Pact, had been ratified by nearly every state in the world. War, for the first time in history, had become illegal the world over. But the promise of that summer day was fleeting. Within a decade of its signing, each state that had gathered in Paris to renounce war was at war. And in the century that followed, the Peace Pact was dismissed as an act of folly and an unmistakable failure.

At the same time, the relationships between the Kurds and the ruling regimes of the day have changed and altered the political landscape in the Middle East.

Different branches of the same religion are the exception more than the rule, and they have had a profound impact upon history. The schism between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches influenced relationships between nations across Europe, and religious intolerance based on different Christian faiths led to persecution and outright violence across the continent for centuries.

From a preeminent scholar of Eastern Europe and the prizewinning author of Chernobyl, the essential history of Russian imperialism. In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine - only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the confluence of Russian imperialism and nationalism today by delving into the nation's history.

Story
This year Christians worldwide will celebrate the 1700th anniversary of Constantine's conversion and victory at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed, this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths.

Story
Profiled on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, Iranian-born scholar Vali Nasr has become one of America's leading commentators on current events in the Middle East, admired and welcomed by both media and government for his "concise and coherent" analysis (Wall Street Journal). In this "smart, clear and timely" book (Washington Post), Nasr brilliantly dissects the political and theological antagonisms within Islam. He provides a unique and objective understanding of the 1,400-year bitter struggle between Shias and Sunnis, and sheds crucial light on its modern-day consequences—from the nuclear posturing of Iran's President Ahmadinejad to the recent U.S.-enabled shift toward Shia power in Iraq and Hezbollah's continued dominance in Lebanon.

Beginning with the Prophet Muhammad's flight from Medina and concluding with an examination of modern Islamic practices and concerns, Armstrong delivers an unbiased overview.

The signs are everywhere. China unilaterally claims the entire South China Sea as sovereign territory, then builds artificial islands to bolster its claim. It suddenly activates an air defense identification zone over the East China Sea, and threatens to down any aircraft that does not report its position. It builds roads into Indian territory, then redraws the maps to show that it is actually Chinese territory. The People's Republic under President Xi Jinping is quickly becoming The Bully of Asia.

Compelling Case for the Israeli Capital City
Jay Sekulow lays out a compelling case in his, “Jerusalem, A Biblical and Historical Case for the Jewish Capital”. In this work he outlines the full history of not just the case for Jerusalem itself, but for Israel as a whole; focusing on the legal basis for the modern existence of the State and, as the title implies, the fixing of Jerusalem as its capital. Indeed, the very case made in this book is that which has been successfully tried in front of the International Court in the Hague and in the United Nations. Unless laws change, the points made my Sekulow here will continue to stand, and undoubtedly more of the world will recognize Israel’s right, granted to every other nation on the planet, to choose its own capital. While the Biblical or Talmudic case could be disputed by non-believers, the historical case is very strong.

Listened in spurts
I didn't listen all in one time. It's stretched out over several months I think. But that's just me. I tend to do that with history books. Even so I really liked it. I'll end up listening to it multiple times I'm sure. It was easy to understand but not distracting while I worked. Like I said it'll take me more than one listen to catch it all, but I'll enjoy listening again.

I grew up knowing there was war in the Middle East but never really understood all the components. I really appreciate this thorough examination through historical, legal and ethical research.

If you love Israel, this is a must read
The best depth of understanding in concise facts, spiritually and historically, not only regarding Jerusalem as Capital of God’s Covenant people, but also Israel as their rightfully beloved national home.
Shalom,

Jay Sekulow is the “Spock” of Israel logic!
Mr Sekalow’s point by point review of FACTS, dispels the ongoing and inappropriately supported urban myth and confabulatory arguments made and supported by the “haters” of the Jewish state Israel.
Up until now I used to pride myself on possessing at least a reasonable knowledge of the historical facts that have led the world to the current situation in Israel. In specifics , the ever chronic problem of the Palestinian Arabs and their vengeful and non-negotiable quest for their own state/country. However, while I always thought that their are “two sides to any story”, my read of Mr Sekalow’s book has concluded essentially the same truism. There is the truth (facts) that the Palestinian Arab population both in Israel and abroad do NOT have any legal, historical , spiritual or even ethical RIGHT to the current post 1967 war borders of the state of Israel, but the stunning facts as presented in a rationale, logical, and irresolvable factual basis as presented by Mr Sekulow’s book, demonstrably demonstrates that there just isn’t any way to argue rationally from the current point of those who state that not only are they “entitled” to the state of Israel, as well as the rest of the land known as Eretz Yisrael. The current borders of Israel. To attempt to have a rationale discourse with anyone who tries to dispute the leviathan amounts of historical factual basis, is like trying to argue with a suffering soul schizophrenic proportions.
If only the Palestinian Arabs could elect leaders that would not insist on the destruction of Israel and all of Jewry, and not insist on what never was nor never will theirs (Jerusalem) , then it would be my humble opinion that a majority of reasonable Israelis would consider the ceding of some land to allow the Palestinian Arab population a homeland. Not to mention the current country of Jordan, who could easily offer to cede some of their sovereign territory to allow the Palestinian Arab a place to call home. However as Mr Sekulow has eloquently and logically systematically put it, Jerusalem and the current borders of Israel always were, and will always be of and for the Jewish people.
A much needed, non-PC tome of factual history that is sorely needed in our age of “information” where anyone with little funds, little knowledge and access to the internet can continue to spread the ugly diatribe of hate, xenophobia, and extreme stubbornness.
Thank you Mr Sekulow for writing this!

Jerusalem by Jay Sekulow
This is a monumental work discussing the rights of the Jewish People to their own land and Israel’s right to exist in a hostile world but alas, as Balaam said in his prophecy “It is a nation that shall dwell alone”. That is just a painful fact.
It should be read by all - both those in favor and those opposing the Jewish State as well as those sitting on the fence, in order to have clear insight into all the issues.
The narration is very good but has to loose at least one star for the absolutely atrocious pronunciation of Hebrew names and terms. Surely Mr Jiry you could have taken the trouble to learn to pronounce these names and terms properly. That was the only disappointing part of an otherwise excellent performance.
