Over 1,700 individual fires forced over 70,000 Israelis to evacuate their homes the last week of November. Many Bible enthusiasts wondered whether this tragedy was the fulfillment of Ezekiel 1:4 which describes a storm, “coming from the north, a huge cloud and a flaming fire with a brightness around it …” Not so fast, explains Heather’s guest, Rabbi Ken Spiro, a prominent historian, lecturer and tour guide, who has authored “The Edge of History: Prophecy & the End of Days,” “WorldPerfect – The Jewish Impact on Civilization,” and many other books and articles about the Jewish people and Jewish history.

In addition to clarifying what the Prophet Ezekiel may have been referring to, Rabbi Spiro will address a variety of challenges facing modern Jewry, including mainstream media coverage, the unending agenda of U.N. resolutions against Israel, and why so many American Jews vote for Democrats – and others for Republicans.
