About Amir Tsarfati

Amir Tsarfati is an Israeli author, public speaker, and military reservist. He holds the rank of major in the IDF Reserves and has experience in security and regional negotiations. He founded Behold Israel, a nonprofit that provides updates on Middle Eastern affairs with a focus on biblical prophecy. His work often connects current events in Israel to his scriptural teachings.

Much of his writing explores his faith, eschatology, and the role of Israel in biblical prophecy. He examines geopolitical developments through the lens of scripture, offering interpretations based on his religious beliefs. His military and government background, including his role as deputy governor of Jericho, informs his analysis.

In addition to writing, Tsarfati leads Sar El Tours and Conferences, organizing trips to historical and religious sites in Israel. His guided tours often emphasize biblical history and prophecy. His works are aimed readers interested in his perspective on theology, Middle Eastern politics, and eschatology. Through this he blends his own experience with faith-based interpretation.

He has written fiction featuring an Israeli intelligence officer named Nir Tavor. The character works for Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency. The stories depict operational scenarios involving counterterrorism and national security matters. The narratives incorporate elements drawn from the author’s military and geopolitical background.

The books follow standard thriller conventions, with plots involving missions, threats, and tactical operations. This along with descriptions of procedures and settings reflect real-world intelligence work. The stories themselves include action sequences and strategic decision-making typical of the genre. Some plotlines connect to broader regional conflicts in the Middle East.

The writing presents a perspective aligned with Israeli security priorities. Character interactions focus on professional duties, and the works fit within the existing category of military and espionage fiction.

Alongside his fiction, Tsarfati produces faith-based works analyzing Middle East developments through biblical prophecy. These nonfiction writings examine geopolitical events in relation to scriptural texts, maintaining a doctrinal interpretation. The content reflects evangelical Christian perspectives on eschatology while incorporating observations from his own regional knowledge. This theological analysis exists separately from his fictional thriller narratives.
