A Sword On the Land is an updated version of Pastor Bill Randles' 2013 book, which was written to show the significance of the "Arab Spring" in view of Bible Prophecy. Pastor Randles has explained the scriptural context for understanding the religion of Islam and its significance in the last days and the events leading up to the great Tribulation and the Day of the LORD. The way he does this is by updating the ancient names used in the words of the Biblical prophecies, such as Edom, Moab, Ammon, Persia, Gog, Magog, Put and Ethiopia. Once these designations are updated it is easy to read these ancient prophecies as though one were reading the latest edition for the newspaper. The prophecies of Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah are shown to be starkly relevant to our times. This book is designed to help the "man on the street" to grasp the implications of events in the Middle East and even spilling over into Europe and the Western World.

The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth." Isaiah 24:19-21
