About this Product
American Jews are in trouble—and most of them don't know why.
In the span of just a few years, antisemitism has exploded from the fringes into the mainstream of American life, coming simultaneously from the progressive left and the populist right. Jewish students are harassed on elite campuses, synagogues require armed guards and Jewish politicians are publicly accused of dual loyalty. A growing chorus of voices—from Tucker Carlson to Ilhan Omar—is demanding that American Jews choose: America or Israel.
This is not a political crisis. It is a biblical one.
In Countdown: American Jews and God's Plan for Redemption, Rabbi Elie Mischel—an Orthodox rabbi who left America to raise his family in Judea—argues that what is happening to American Jews today is the direct fulfillment of biblical prophecy. The Hebrew Bible predicted exactly this moment, and it tells us exactly what it means.
The answer begins with a question that Jews and Christians have gotten wrong for centuries: Are the Jewish people a religion—or a nation? Everything depends on the answer.
Countdown traces this question from Abraham through the Book of Esther to the streets of modern America, showing how the same test that confronted Esther in the palace of Ahasuerus now confronts American Jews. Will they remember who they are? Will they answer God's call—or remain in exile until the choice is made for them?
For Jewish readers, Countdown is a loving but unflinching challenge to reckon honestly with who the Jewish people are, what God is asking of them, and how much time remains.
For Christian readers who love Israel and know the Hebrew Bible is living prophecy, Countdown illuminates the deeper drama unfolding before our eyes—and explains why the fate of the Jewish people determines the fate of all nations.
