Jerusalem has become ground zero for World War III. In The Scramble for Jerusalem, attorney Henderson reveals that overshadowing the regional conflict is a religious confrontation of apocalyptic proportions:
- Jews, Muslims, Catholics, and Evangelical Christians, all claiming descent from Abraham, have end-time scripts demanding exclusive control of Jerusalem.
- All feature Jerusalem as the capital of their coming Messianic kingdom.
They cannot all be right, argues Henderson. But more ominously, one's Messiah may be the other's Antichrist. This creates a potential apocalyptic showdown in the Middle East, threatening world peace and creating the potential for Armageddon - the graveyard of the nations.
Henderson reveals that militant Sunni jihadists as well as Shia Iran envision a new caliphate headquartered in Jerusalem. Because militant Muslims see America as the main western supporter of Israel, the road to Jerusalem lies through the ruins of Washington.
False theologies have tremendous consequences, contends Henderson. The scramble to conquer or partition Jerusalem is the product of fatal end-time delusions which threaten to engulf the world in a deluge of war and bloodshed as they all struggle to gain control over Jerusalem.
