In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, many governments are seeking ways to improve their banking regulation systems in the interests of both economic health and consumer protection. Among the globally competitive countries that withstood the crisis with no significant disruption, Israel stands out, suggesting that other countries might benefit from an in-depth analysis of its banking system. This is the first book in English to provide such an analysis, emphasizing the crucial balance between prudential regulation and conduct of business regulation, which in Israel are both regulated by the same agency, unlike the ‘Twin Peaks’ model that prevails in other market-based economies. With recommendations that are highly applicable to many countries, the book examines a broad range of issues that are of current concern to the banking community worldwide. Among these issues are the following: – the architecture of financial regulation; – nationalization and privatization of banks; – conflicts of interest in the banking system resulting from universal banking; – problems of concentration and lack of competitiveness in the banking system; – the growing power of institutional investors and their entry into traditional banking activities; – mechanisms for recovery and resolution in the event of a bank failure; – new models of banking regulation, such as self-regulation and contractual regulation; and – bank consumer protection, complaint handling and redress. Even though the book focuses on Israeli banking regulation, its detailed attention to the development of a suitable supervisory model is of immeasurable international value for regulators, lawyers, bankers, academics, and business people who are in any way connected to the banking world; particularly following the 2008 crisis and its devastating effects. It is sure to be of service as many jurisdictions continue to search for optimal tools designed to prevent another such crisis.

History versus science, history versus history, or history with science--who has it right? In this book, you will be challenged to think differently about BC history. Discover a calendar that is over five thousand years old and how the younger calendars go with it in this timeline. Discover a reason why different dates are assigned to the same event. Explore why the Second Temple of Judaism which stood partly BC and partly AD for about 420 years can have a start date in the 500s BC and 300s BC. Discover concurrent event reading of the Bible as it relates to history. Discover the accuracy preserved by forefathers and more. With the use of the Gregorian calendar beginning in the 1500s, we read BC history with dates that go backward as events move forward. This is exactly the opposite of our current dates where the dates move forward as events move forward. In this book there is a BC to AD timeline of the Bible, some history and some prophesied events. As you read, you will go on a journey through history, and put together past and present through what was written down about events and prophesied events. 157
It all started when I discovered a statement a father made concerning his son who caused harm to many others. He said, "I wish I did not have this child," meaning his son. I was troubled and began to look through the Bible to see what the creator says about children. I found out that He calls children a blessing, and as you know, everybody likes a blessing, so why would a father make such a statement? And why would a blessing become a murderer when Psalm 145:17 mentions that all God did was good? The spirit of God lifted me to this Bible verse: "When men slept the enemy came and planted tares among the wheat" (Matthew 13:25). John 10:10 also declares the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. So as a role of parenthood, I want parents to come to an awareness of the activities of the devil concerning our children and how we can defeat him through prayer using the word of God. In Isaiah 65:23, the Bible says you will never labor in vain or have children for trouble. So, having this great promise from God and with the help of Psalm 8:2, I want parents to use prayer or open their mouth as Psalm 8:2 says to destroy the works of the avenger. Let me take this opportunity to thank God who inspired me to write this, waking up in the middle of the night, giving me scriptures, and helping put things together. Without Him, we can do nothing. Let me not forget my senior pastor, Phillip Amofah, who became my consultant. He was always there to help answer all my questions. May God bless Michael and Sarah Oduro, my two kids, who contributed greatly in searching, reading, and typing scriptures. May God richly bless them.

Shouldn’t we listen and obey this God who, from the invisible realms, reveals Himself to us through an objective Truth Source called the Bible, & His Son, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit?
