Summary: Excellent Reference Bible.
Review: I am extremely satisfied with my recent purchase of this Bible.The references to different aspects of Scripture are easily accessed. My particular interest of Scriptures relating to Israel, it's people and it's land and Biblical prophecies relative to Israel are there at your fingertips. My only criticism is in relation to the 'political correctness' of Mr. Jeffery's own writings in enclosed articles supporting areas of Scripture where he uses the term 'Palestine' out of it's correct geographical and historical context. Palestine being the regional name given to Israel and adjacent areas after the suppression of the second Jewish revolt by the Roman Emperor, Hadrian, in AD135. The original name being 'Syria Palaestina' which eventually became anglicised into 'Palestine' and which was subsequently replaced by Israel upon it's rebirth in 1948. Mr. Jeffery uses the term 'Palestine' incorrectly in some old maps and also in one area relating to Old Testament prophets who were around long before the term 'Palestine' ever existed. If you can live with this, or amend it even, this will be an excellent Bible to possess. In all other ways it is to be highly recommended. The ability to easily access so many different aspects of the Bible is remarkable and such an aid to understanding.

Summary: Valuable addition to the prophecy literature.
Review: One practicle reason I like this bible is that it contains in concise form the important topics of the end times. The notes are focused on prophecy so you are not reading a book with one hand and looking up the verses cited with the other. The bible contains numerous articles, maps, charts and illustrations. The articles are particularly helpful and include topics such as: The Battle of Gog and Magog (I finally understand wshere this battle falls in the end time events), The Antichrist, The Seventy Weeks, The Tribulation etc. I have many bibles and this is one of the ones I use regularly.
