In this remarkable book, Alexander Zephyr reveals the true identities of the nations that will participate in the genocidal conspiracy against Israel described by the Prophet Asaph in Psalm 83. Through extensive research, Zephyr offers biblical scholars and students comprehensive explanations grounded in cogent scholarship on the Scriptures. Geopolitical events have catapulted the Middle East into a battlefield between Israel and its Arab-Muslim neighbors. This war has become a spectacle that command attention on the world stage. Other nations, however, are not merely passive spectators; what happens in the Middle East profoundly affects them regardless of their geographical location. Indeed, perhaps no other conflict is more influential and complicated, or persistent, than that in Israel and specifically in Jerusalem. Israel is also the key to understanding Asaph's prophecy. In Psalm 83: A New Discovery, Zephyr offers a clear and compelling reading of this prophecy that correctly identifies players of an already unfolding eschatological drama whose script has been divinely written.
Alexander Zephyr is the author of The State of Israel: Its Friends and Enemies. Prophetic Future. Like his previous work, Rabbi Akiva, the Bar Kokhba Revolt and the Ten Tribes of Israel focuses on the fate and destiny of the so-called Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. It is a fascinating and climactic story told with passion, conviction, and extensive knowledge of Scripture, the Talmud, and Rabbinical literature. While the Ten Tribes is a key theme of the book, the main hero is Rabbi Akivahis life, his students, and particularly his association with Bar Kokhba and the Jewish Revolt of 132-135CE. One of the few rare scholars with the courage to present the authentic story of R. Akiva, Zephyr covers the legendary figures involvement in the Jewish-Roman war as well as his dramatic and mistaken announcement of Bar Kokhba as the God-chosen Messiah. This book is the story of a massacre of the Jewish people in an unparalleled historical tragedy, the consequences of which are still suffered today. It is also a testament of life-affirming faith in the Scriptural promise of a Messianic Era and the World-to-Come.

Understanding Non-State Actors aims to reduce the scarcity of academic literature on armed non-state actors (NSAs) that have always been a part of world politics and wars. This monograph offers, possibly for the first time, a systematic historical review as well as a substantive theory of NSAs and their arming efforts. From the Jewish rebellions against Rome to the war between the Ukrainian separatists and the Ukrainian government, NSAs’ weapons acquisition has been vital for the build-up of their force, enabling both the employment of that force and its sustainability. While weapons are not necessarily the most important factor in military build-up, NSAs need weapons to fight, and revolts...
