The Fountain of Tears was created by my friend Rick Wienecke and we now believe that more than 20,000 people have visited the Fountain which is situated in Rick's "backyard" in Arad in the south of Israel. This involves many 1000's of Israelis including Holocaust Survivors and even some Rabbis. The communication of God's love through art touches their hearts. This book is my theological contribution to Rick's inspiring creativity. My prayer is that it will encourage a greater dialogue between Christian and Jewish theologians. For example, it has been said by an orthodox Jewish friend that the Fountain is probably one of the greatest arguments against the deception known as "Replacement Theology" which pervades much of the evangelical church in the western world. This book also lays the biblical groundwork to help us understand that our faithful God will fulfill every promise that he has made to the Jewish people and to the Land of Israel.

There are two radically differing views about the future of Israel. This is true even in those Christian circles that accept that Israel has a part to play in God's eternal purposes for the world. Is the modern state of Israel now "safe" or should we expect another holocaust which is often identified with some future "time of Jacob's trouble" and equated with "Great Tribulation". In this very detailed Bible exposition, Geoff Barnard argues that the "time of Jacob's trouble" was fulfilled in the Shoah during World War 2 and that out of the ashes of the Holocaust, the nation of Israel has been re-gathered never to be uprooted again (Amos 9:15). Accordingly, Israel now is the only "safe" place for Jewish people and it behoves the Christian community to facilitate Aliyah for them with every resource at their disposal (Isaiah 49:22). Christians throughout the world must be prepared for the extremely difficult days that lie ahead.
