A group of prominent rabbis called upon President Bush not to support the withdrawal from Judea and Samaria

A group of prominent rabbis say the United States' interests are being impacted by Israel's proposed retreat from terrorist strongholds in Judea and Samaria; and they call on the US president to deny support of Prime Minister Olmert's realignment plan that would withdraw from 90% of the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria.

In the letter sent to the president, the rabbis said that Israel's 2005 retreat from the Gaza Strip has been perceived as a cave in by the role model of counter terrorism and it paved the road to Hamas electoral victory and the escalation of violence today.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News


Prominent rabbis calling on the US to not support a withdrawal from Judea and Samaria is in accordance with Jewish law and God's plan for these Jewish lands in the Last Days, that is according to Bible prophecy. The land in question, Judea and Samaria which is a piece of real estate often referred to as the West Bank, is indeed disputed territory but the Jews living there today believe it is rightfully theirs because God has given it to them.

The answer to who the land belongs to can only be found in the Bible. There it says in the book of Leviticus 25:23 that the land is God's land and He has the right to do with it whatever He pleases.

The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel recorded the word from the Lord in Ezekiel 34:11-31, and there it reads that God said He would bring the Jewish people from all over the world wherever they had been scattered to this land and give it to them forever. Ezekiel 36 refers to the land some 35 times and the Lord told Ezekiel to write to the Jewish people that it would be theirs and this would be done for His holy namesake, that's Ezekiel 36:22. In the End, God will give the Jewish people this land forever.

President Bush should pay attention to what God's plans are for the future.

Israeli war planes have flown over Syrian President Bashar Assad's palace as a warning

The Israeli war plane fly over of Syrian President Bashar Assad's palace was a warning to the Syrian leader to warn Damascus against supporting Palestinian fighters who abducted the Israeli soldier.

An Israeli army spokesman said the low-level flights by the Israeli war plans were because the Syrian leadership supports and harbors terrorist leaders. Among them the Damascus based Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, who Israeli officials say is masterminding the Gaza conflict. Syrian officials say the Israeli fly over is an aggressive act and a provocation.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

By targeting the palace of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the Israeli Defense Force warned the Syrians to stop using surrogate terror groups to attack the Jewish state, a news story that seems to be a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days. Israeli intel reports that Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, based in Damascus is the mastermind of the Hamas-led military actions in the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli cabinet member said that Mashaal is the target of an assassination that could take this terrorist leader off the scene in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The fact that Syria has harbored and supported Mashaal for over twenty years and that the Syrian government itself has a hand in this conflict is truly a page out of Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of Syria, referred to as the King of the North in Daniel 11:40, which reveals that this Middle Eastern Arab nation will be the first of the Middle Eastern nations to start aggression that they hope will lead to Israel's destruction. Actually, Syria is only one of a number of Arab and Islamic Middle Eastern nations that will align themselves against Israel; howbeit, they are the first to make a move. This prophesied aggressive military action by Syria begins at the first of the seven year Tribulation Period.

Syria's support for the Hamas leadership and their terrorism is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Tensions are high between the Israelis and the Palestinians, even as the warring factions of the PA come to an agreement

Hamas and Fatah, the two leading factions in the Palestinian Authority (PA), have agreed to work together to establish a Palestinian state; the first step in what these Palestinian militants say is the reclaiming of their historic homeland, all of what is the Jewish state of Israel today.

Hamas said that this agreement does not call for the recognition of Israel. Even as the agreement was being signed, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was making a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip after warning the PA that the Palestinian Islamist militants must return the Israeli Defense soldier recently kidnapped or face an assertive military operation.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An agreement between the warring factions of the PA and the establishment of a Palestinian state as the first step in destroying the Jewish state of Israel is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The Palestinian Foreign Minister of the Hamas-led PA two months ago said on the Palestinian Media that their strategy was to kidnap the IDF soldiers as a way to pressure the Israeli government.

The refusal to return the missing soldier to Israel prompted the IDF ground incursion into the Gaza Strip on a mission to rescue the young Israeli soldier. The timing on either the IDF military offensive or the signing of the manifesto by Hamas and Fatah, an agreement on how to establish a Palestinian state, is not coincidental and in essence, they both are pages out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The ancient Jewish prophets Ezekiel, Obadiah, Jeremiah, and Malachi all called for a scenario in the Last Days that would bring about a conflict between the descendants of two brothers, Jacob and Esau; Jacob, the father of the Jewish people and Esau, the father of the Palestinian people.

An agreement to establish a Palestinian state as a first step to destroying Israel and an Israeli military action are both pages out of Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Iraq's new oil minister: Iraq may be able to surpass Saudi Arabia in oil production

Oil production in Iraq has hit its highest level since former leader Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003, that is according to Iraq's new oil minister, Hussein Sharastani, who added that the new Iraqi government, which has been in place for a very short time now, has been able to break oil production records.

Mr. Sharastani said that Iraq's target now was to challenge Saudi Arabia's position as the world's leading oil producer, which Iraq believes can be done by 2010.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Iraq's record level oil production is a precursor to a scenario for Iraq found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The new Iraqi government's minister of oil, Hussein al Sharastani, says that Iraq's oil output today is near the oil production during Saddam's days in power and soon will surpass those numbers.

In fact, the new Iraqi government is beginning to believe that they can become the world's leading oil producer, surpassing Saudi Arabia. To that end, Mr. Sharastani said he expected output to rise to nearly 4 million barrels per day by 2010 and increasing to 6 million barrels per day by 2012. This scenario in oil production by Iraq is setting the stage for the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for Iraq in the last Days; and let me remind you, Iraq is biblical Babylon.

War torn Iraq becomes, according to Bible prophecy, the worldwide headquarters for the Antichrist who will head up a one-world, economic, political, governmetal system in the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, that's just prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. You can find that scenario in Revelation 18, Jeremiah 50 and 51, and Revelation 16.

Oil revenues, especially when Iraq becomes the world's leading oil producer, will rebuild Iraq and set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

New survey reveals less than 10% of all born-again Christians look at the world with a biblical perspective

George Barna, a pollster with an independent marketing research company, found in a recent survey that only 4% of the overall population of America and 9% of born-again Christians have a biblical world view, suggesting that many of the nation's moral and spiritual challenges are directly attributable to this fact.

For the purposes of the research, a biblical world view was defined as believing that absolute moral truth exists, that such truth is defined by the Bible, and that the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A biblical world view based upon understanding Bible prophecy is essential for an understanding of the times we live in today.

Let's look at the provision in scripture for a biblical world view. All scripture is God breathed. That means it's inspired and is profitable for doctrine, for correction, and instruction in righteousness, that's II Timothy 3:16. God gave the scriptures to the Jew to preserve and communicate to mankind, Romans 3:1-2. And thus, we have His written Word for us today. Our blessings and understanding comes from God's provision of His heart, His mind, His thoughts in written form, the Bible.

Now, let's look at the priority for studying a biblical world view. The Apostle Paul wrote that we must study the Word of God, a workman that need not be ashamed, relying on God's Word for all of life's questions. We must rightly divide the Word of truth, the Bible, to ascertain its true meaning. These two principles, study and rightly dividing the Word of God, are instruction for the End Times and they come from Paul's exhortation to young Timothy found in II Timothy 2:15.

Finally, let's look at the prophetic scenario of a biblical world view. A study of Bible prophecy reveals the scenario for the Last Days with a seven year period of judgment in our world followed by the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to establish His Kingdom here on earth. However, preceeding that seven years of judgment, those who are true born again Christians will be taken out of this world to be with Jesus Christ, that's the Rapture.

Allowing the Bible to form our world view prepares us for these future events and gives us evidence as to how close they may be.

The world's top scientists call for evidence based teaching of evolution in our schools today

A statement signed by 67 national science academies says evidence of the origins of life is being concealed, denied, or confused and the world's top scientists are calling for evidence based teaching of evolution in schools.

These scientists say the key facts of evolution, which they claim is scientific evidence which has never been contradicted, also includes the fact that the earth is 4.5 billion years old and the onset of life was at least 2.5 billion years ago.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The world's top scientists believe that every classroom must teach evidence based evolution to explain the origins of man, which is in reality a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the Last Days. There has been growing concern within the scientific community that children are not being taught basic facts on evolution and the nature of scientific inquiry.

The world's top scientists say in some countries the simple theory of evolution is denied in the teaching of children in schools. Now, these scientists want evidence based evolution taught in all schools.

I must remind you, it is indeed the Theory of evolution and it never has been determined scientifically to be absolute. It is still a theory. This report is however, evidence that Jesus Christ is preparing to come back to the earth, seemingly in the near future. The Apostle Peter, in the content of his last book, II Peter 3:2-7, wrote that in the Last Days supposedly intelligent people will be willingly ignorant, or actually dumb on purpose, ignorant of the truth of the biblical account of Creation and the origins of all of life, all that is in our universe.

The denial by the world's top scientists that the God of the Bible created everything in six 24 hour days around 6,000 years ago is evidence that Jesus Christ is coming soon. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israeli PM Olmert meets with PA President Abbas in Petra, Jordan and says he will give up biblical sites

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas came together at an informal breakfast meeting hosted by Jordan's King Abdullah agreeing to meet in a more formal setting within the next two weeks.

The gathering of Nobel Laureates, meeting in the ancient city of Petra, was the setting for the meeting between Olmert and Abbas that has been delayed by the reality of difficulties caused by the Hamas-led PA who refuses to recognize Israel's right to be a nation in the Middle East. At this meeting, PM Olmert also hinted that the is ready to give up Shilo and Beit-El, two historically significant cities for the Jewish people. He will give up these two cities to the Palestinians for their new state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A meeting between the Israelis and the Palestinians in the ancient city of Petra and a statement of the withdrawal from Shilo and Beit-El, has an interesting prophetic significance for both peoples, that is according to Bible prophecy. Even though it was an informal breakfast meeting in the ancient city of Petra, it resulted in two significant elements to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

PM Olmert, for the first time, eluded to the fact that he is ready to give up to the Palestinians the historic cities of Shilo and Beit-El. Petra was the original headquarters for Esau and his descendants some 4,000 years ago, that's Genesis 36. Bible prophecy reveals that Esau's descendants of yesterday are the Palestinian people of today.

The descendants of Esau's twin brother, Jacob, are the Jewish people of today. Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, also wrote in Ezekiel 37:15-23 that there will be two Jewish states in the Last Days in the Middle East. And Ehud Olmert's giving up of Shilo and Beit-El to the Palestinians seems to be setting the stage for the establishment of a second Jewish state.

PM Olmert's meeting with Palestinian Authority President Abbas in Petra does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The largest Islamic television outlet in Europe says that Zionism is the cancer at the heart of international affairs

The London based Islam channel, the largest Islamic television outlet in Europe, posted a debate recently titled, "Why anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism", and it was filmed against a backdrop reading, "Zionism- The Cancer at the Heart of International Affairs."

The discussion was chaired by Alan Hart, a former BBC correspondent, who said that the propaganda used by the Jews is that Israel faces annihilation and they have fears of being pushed into the sea, which he said was a myth.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The declaration that Zionism is the cancer at the heart of international affairs is a precursor to the scenario for Israel in the Last Days, according to Bible prophecy. According to participants at the recent conference hosted by the Islam channel that informed honest debate on the Middle East has been stifled because of a fear of being accused of anti-Semitism.

One participant in the discussion, a former consultant of the Palestinian Authority, said that Zionism, the return of the Jews to Zion, to Israel, was a total disaster for the Arab world and that nothing positive or beneficial has come from it. The leader of the discussion said that it was a myth that Jews face annihilation and they have fears of being pushed into the sea.

However, according to Bible prophecy, an attempt to annihilate all Jews and push them into the sea is exactly what will happen, possibly in the near future. Daniel 11:40-45, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 all reveal that a coalition of Arab and Muslim states will endeavor to annihilate the Jews at the very beginning of the seven year period of time known as the Tribulation, a time of intense judgment. Zechariah 13:8 says that two out of every three Jews will be killed during that seven years. Revelation 12:13-17 says that Satanic forces will endeavor to kill all Jews everywhere.

These biblical truths are not a myth. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israel and Jordan are working on a joint project to replenish the evaporating Dead Sea

Israel and Jordan are submitting a request to the World Bank for funds to carry out a feasibility study for a canal between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, a canal that would bring sea water to the Dead Sea to replenish the enormous evaporation from the lowest body of water on the earth.

Israel and Jordan have a common interest in water and water technology, that according to Israel's Minister of National Infrastructure who also said that the Dead Sea's water level has been dropping at an alarming rate each year over the past twenty years. The two Middle Eastern nations believe that there must be a solution. In fact, immediate steps must be taken to relieve the situation of the evaporation of the mineral rich water of the Dead Sea.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The joint Red Sea-Dead Sea Project between Israel and Jordan has an interesting prophetic significance for the Last Days, that is according to Bible prophecy. For over twenty years, the Dead Sea has been losing its water through a number of ways: one, a dam on the Jordan River in Syria, a canal in Jordan, a tributary off the Jordan River which is of course the source of water for the Dead Sea, plus the natural process of evaporation.

There are fears in both countries that if the water level dropping rate is not reversed, it could well be a major disaster. The fact that Israel and Jordan are willing to come together, plays into the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Ezekiel 38 describes a coalition of nations that align themselves against Israel to try and destroy the Jewish state and take the land and all of its rich, natural resources for its own. Revenue that is being gained from the Dead Sea Works, the mineral extraction company working the Dead Sea's natural resources, is the number one source of income for the state of Israel and inviting spoil, as Ezekiel 38:12-13 reveals, will be a motivation to bring the alignment of nations against Israel.

The joint Israeli-Jordanian Red Dead Project is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Egyptian President Mubarak and Jordanian King Abdullah have called for Middle East peace talks to resume

In a meeting between two influence Middle Eastern leaders, President Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah of Jordan, the two men called for the stalled Middle East peace talks to be resumed as soon as possible.

Both President Mubarak and King Abdullah expressed support for a EU sponsored plan to fund the Palestinians while side-stepping the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call by the leaders of Egypt and Jordan for Middle East peace talks to be resumed has great significance prophetically for the End Times, that is according to Bible prophecy. President Mubarak, a long time leader in the Middle East peace process, and King Abdullah, walking in the steps of his father, the late King Hussein, the Jordanian king is now somewhat of a peace maker as well in the Middle East.

These two Arab leaders have called for the resumption of the stalled Middle East peace talks, not only for peace in the region, but also because both countries, Egypt and Jordan, will be affected by the outcome of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Egyptian President Mubarak is continually in a fight with the Islamic element that is found among the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority and King Abdullah will be affected by any direction the Palestinians take due to the Jordanian majority Palestinian population.

This report is setting the stage for many aspects of Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Daniel 11:40-43 mentions Egypt, the king of the South, as a major player in the Last Days. That same passage of prophetic scripture also reveals Jordan's part in Bible prophecy when it mentions Amman, Moab, and Edom, the biblical names for modern-day Jordan. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is discussed in Ezekiel 35, and the peace process is how the Antichrist comes to power as revealed in Daniel 9:27.

The call for the peace process in the Middle East to be resumed by President Mubarak and King Abdullah is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

A Muslim official in Jerusalem admits there were two previous Jewish temples on the Temple Mount

In contradiction to most of his colleagues, a former senior official of the Islamic Trust on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Islamic custodians on the temple Mount, says he has come to believe that the first and second Jewish temples existed and stood at the current location of the al Aqsa Mosque.

Supposedly, Islamic custodians passed down stories for centuries from generation to generation, indicating that the mosque was built at the site of the former Jewish temples. This former al Aska official says to admit the Jewish temples existed does not forfeit Islamic rights to the Temple Mount. He said that the present mosque completes the divine religion of Islam, the third and last religion.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by an Islamic official in Jerusalem that Jewish temples did once stand on the Temple Mount is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. The statements from a former senior leader of the Islamic Trust in Jerusalem, the custodians of the Temple Mount, that he believes there have been two Jewish temples on the Temple Mount is inline with all historic and archaeological evidence available today.

Though this statement is in contradiction to what the Islamic world declares, that there has never been a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount much less two previous temples, the belief of this former custodian of the holy site is based upon Islamic tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Not only has there been two previous Jewish temples on the Temple Mount in the past, there will be two additional Jewish temples on the Temple Mount in the future. Daniel 9:27 reveals a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the seven year Tribulation Period, a time of great judgment in the future. By the way, this is also confirmed by Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1-2.

Zechariah, another ancient Jewish prophet, wrote in chapter 1 verse 16 and chapter 6 verses 12 and 13 that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will come back to Jerusalem and build His Temple where He will rule and reign from during the 1000 year Kingdom yet to come. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A world renowned scientist says the human race must find new homes in outer space to survive

Speaking at an international conference at Hong Kong University, the author of the international best seller, "A Brief History of Time", who is also professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, Stephen Hawking said that the survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe because there is an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy the earth.

The British astrophysicist told a news conference in Hong Kong that humans could have a permanent base on the Moon in 20 years and a colony on Mars in the next 40 years. Hawking said that new observational results and theoretical advances are coming in rapidly, and that we are getting closer to answering the old question, "Where did we come from?"

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The declaration that humanity will live on the moon and Mars within 50 years and that we may be near to knowing the origins of the universe, statements made by the world renowned scientists Stephen Hawking, are a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The acclaimed British Physicist Stephen Hawking, speaking recently at an international conference at the University of Hong Kong, told the attendees that we do not yet have good theoretical understanding of the observation of the expansion of the universe. Hawking added that without such understanding, we cannot be sure of the future of the universe. Hawking also said his unfulfilled ambitions, among many, were how the universe began and how the human race can survive in the next 100 years.

Interestingly, God's Word has the answers to all of Hawking's questions, and his questions set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. The Creation account in Genesis 1 reveals the origins of the universe, revealed by the One who brought everything into existence, the One who was the only observer of this event. The Gospel accounts of the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ tells of how man can survive, not only for 100 years, but for eternity. II Peter 3 foretold the time when seemingly intelligent man would be dumb on purpose and deny that God created all things.

This, in fact, would be evidence that Jesus was coming and that it could be very soon. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Iraq implements massive security plan after Bush's surprise visit

In a six-hour surprise secretive visit to Baghdad, President George W. Bush met with Iraqi PM Maliki, addressed the security issues with the Iraqi PM and the Bush war cabinet via satellite conferencing, and told the US troops they were on a historic mission.

The day following President Bush's visit to Baghdad, the new Iraqi government implemented tough new security measures in Baghdad in an effort to win back control of the streets.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The secretive surprise visit to Iraq by US President George W. Bush and the implementation of new security measures in Iraq are both precursors to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in this war torn country. President Bush, on his whirlwind trip to Iraq, encouraged Iraq's new government to move quickly to take advantage of this window of opportunity after the death of the insurgency leader al Zarqawi, and promised the military support needed to take back the streets of Baghdad, and in fact the streets of all of Iraq and then to move forward in the rebuilding of their country.

All agree that this war torn nation must be secure in order to rebuild this Middle Eastern country, a nation that is a key player in the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Micah, and even the New Testament Apostle John, all prewrote the history of Iraq, biblical Babylon, more than some 2,000 years ago; a history that includes Iraq as the superpower in the Middle East and the headquarters for the coming world leader, the Antichrist, who will lead a one world political, economic, governmental system out of Babylon, the literal Babylon located on the shores of the Euphrates River some 68 miles SW of Baghdad. This scenario foretold in Isaiah 13 and 14, Jeremiah 50 and 51, Micah 4, and Revelation chapters 16 and 18.

The whirlwind of President George Bush to Iraq is indeed a step closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The EU Presidency is calling for a Europe-wide EU Constitution referendum

The head of the outgoing Austrian EU Presidency, chancellor Wolfgang Schussel, believes a pan-European referendum could be the way to revive the stranded EU constitution, a referendum that would take place simultaneously in all the EU states.

The Austrian chancellor said that such a proposal would need to come from the two countries that have already rejected the charter in public polls, that would be France and the Netherlands. EU leaders gathered in Brussels recently to access the political impact of the delay in confirming the EU constitution one year after the two negative votes from France and the Netherlands.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The creative suggestion of having a Europe-wide referendum on the EU constitution is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy on this issue. Most Europeans believe that the hopes for the United States of Europe had been dashed a year ago when the people of France and the Netherlands rejected the EU constitution.

Now, a year later, the Austrian chancellor's idea of a pan-Europe referendum on the confirmation of the EU constitution would bring together the 25 present member states of the EU and form a major political, economic, and military power in our world today.

The scenario that I just described is in essence exactly what Bible prophecy calls for in the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote some 2,500 years ago about the revival of the Roman Empire, an Empire that is to be powerful politically, economically, and militarily; that can be found in Daniel 7:4-26.

The efforts by the European leaders to confirm the constitution and a possible pan-Europe referendum is indeed a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Iranian President declared a second Hitler in Germany

Demonstrators gathered in the streets of Nuremberg, Germany to protest against the Iranian President Ahmadinejad's visit to the World Cup and the protesters included Jews and Iranian exiles who denounced Ahmadinejad for casting doubt on the Holocaust.

The head of the German-Jewish community declared that the Iranian president is a second Hitler and that people who deny the Holocaust are not welcome in Germany.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A declaration by a German-Jewish official that Iranian President Ahmadinejad is a second Hitler has a prophetic significance for the End Times, according to Bible prophecy. With the threat that Iranian President Ahmadinejad would visit the World Cup, being played in Germany, protesters in the streets of Nuremberg, Germany demonstrated their opposition to any visit by the Holocaust denier saying that the Iranian leader was not welcome.

The location of these demonstrations has a very interesting significance since Nuremberg, Germany is where Hitler's Nazis promigated the infamous race laws and also where the Nazi war crimes trials took place after the Holocaust. The controversy surrounding the Ahmadinejad visit to the World Cup is based mostly on his statement that the Holocaust never took place, but if it had taken place, there should be a Jewish state in Germany not in the Middle East on Islamic land. This controversy, however, does focus the world on the horrific truth of the Holocaust, six million Jews killed by Hitler and his Nazi troops during WWII.

As a student of Bible prophecy, I am aware of a far worse Holocaust yet to come for the Jewish people. The ancient Jewish prophet, Zechariah, wrote 2,000 years ago that 2 out of every 3 Jews will be killed during the Time of Jacob's Trouble which is yet future. John, the Apostle, wrote in Revelation 12 that all the forces of Satan will endeavor to kill all Jews during that time yet to come as well.

A declaration that Iran's President Ahmadinejad is a second Hitler is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jordan's King Abdullah says that his country is not a substitute homeland for Palestinians

Recently, Jordan's King Abdullah and Israeli PM Ehud Olmert met in Oman, Jordan, capital city of this Middle Eastern state, and discussed Olmert's realignment plan which would give the Palestinians a border that would access the Jordanian border, which is of great concern to King Abdullah.

In light of the large Palestinian population in Jordan, over 70% of the total population, King Abdullah is concerned about his balance of power, and the king made clear to PM Olmert that Jordan is not a substitute Palestinian state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent meeting between Jordan's King Abdullah and Israeli PM Ehud Olmert, in essence, was a meeting between two Middle Eastern leaders that is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. King Abdullah of Jordan and PM Olmert of Israel are both considered to be among the moderate Middle Eastern leaders and their countries are considered to be somewhat friendly, coexisting in a hotbed of conflict.

The demographics of Jordan, over 70% of the population being Palestinian and the fact that King Abdullah is a Hashemite, his family coming from Saudi Arabia, this large Palestinian population has to be factored into any arrangement made in the Middle East. Current policy by both nations will indeed impact future events in the region, especially in light of Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Malachi, and Obadiah all wrote of the coming conflict of the descendants of Jacob, the Jewish people, and Esau, the Palestinian people, known in the Middle East today as Jordan and the Jewish state of Israel. God sent Esau to live in what is now Southern Jordan, biblically known as Edom, and He did this almost 4,000 years ago, He sent him to a place called Petra, that's Genesis 36. Ezekiel 35 reveals the conflict between the descendants of Jacob, the Jewish people, and Esau, the Palestinians, that will take place near the Return of Jesus Christ, a deadly conflict in the future. Revelation 12:6 speaks of a place prepared by God to protect His people. That place is Petra and it's located in Southern Jordan.

A meeting between Jordanian King Abdullah and Israeli PM Ehud Olmert to discuss the Palestinian conflict is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Al Qaeda terrorist leader al Zarqawi is dead and Iraq names its final two cabinet posts

Jordanian born terrorist leader al Zarqawi was killed in a military strike on a meeting of Zarqawi's top leadership, bringing to conclusion the manhunt for Iraq's number one insurgency leader.

Even as the Iraqi PM Maliki was announcing the approval by the Iraqi parliament of the defense and interior ministers for Iraq's new government. The death of Zarqawi is a benchmark in the worldwide war on terrorism. Iraqi PM Maliki's strong stand against the insurgency in his country has received the boost needed to move ahead in the rebuilding of his war torn nation, according to leaders in the Iraqi government.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The death of the leader of the insurgency in Iraq, Jordanian born terrorist al Zarqawi, is a step closer to the fulfillment of a scenario for the Last Days in this region of the world, according to Bible prophecy. Al Zarqawi, the leader of the insurgency in Iraq and a terrorist leader whose deadly impact had spread into his home country as well as into Europe, met death in a similar fashion as had many of his victims, by violence.

Iraqi PM Maliki has already moved to fill the vacuum with placing strong leadership in the security post of his new government with the cabinet posts of Minister of Defense and Minister of Interior. Maliki now has the window of opportunity needed to take great strides in the rebuilding of his war torn nation, a precursor to the Bible prophecy scenario for the nation of Iraq.

Ancient Jewish prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Apostle John, who wrote the book of Revelation, called for a Last Days scenario that has modern day Iraq, biblical Babylon as we know it, as the center of a one world, governmental, economic, political capital where the one world leader, the Antichrist, will lead from. These passages of prophecy include: Isaiah 13-14, Jeremiah 50-51, and Revelation 16 and 18. John the Revelator foretold the total destruction of the one world headquarters located in Babylon, modern-day Iraq, in Revelation 16:17-20. This destruction to take place just before Jesus Christ comes back to earth.

Al Zarqawi's death and the Iraqi government fully in place does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The 39th anniversary of the reuniting of Jerusalem is marked by celebration, conflict, and controversy

On June 7, 1967 during the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors, the Israeli Defense Forces stormed the Lion Gate to the old city of Jerusalem, entered the Temple Mount and reunited the city of Jerusalem East and West.

Palestinians marked the 39th anniversry of this brilliant military operation by the IDF as the day Israel occupied their lands and say they will not rest until the captured territories are returned to them for their state, including Jerusalem as the capital city of Palestine. The conflict continues as the Palestinians fight to regain control of the land areas they say they lost during the Six Day War and the controversy of the rights to these areas is center focuus in the international efforts to bring an end to this conflict.

The reunification of the city of Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967 actually set the stage for the future controversy surrounding this sacred piece of realestate, that is according to Bible prophecy. Many observers say the events of the Six Day War in 1967 in Israel was miraculous, they say they could see the hand of God at work in the military operation by the IDF that led to the reunification of the city of Jerusalem.

Others, like the Palestinian leadership, say it was a dark day in Palestinian history when the IDF occupied their land, and it will only be a bright day when once again they control this sacred piece of real estate. This ongoing conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians is destined to only intensify as the world moves closer to the Second Coming of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible prophecy point out that the Lord is agressively possessive of Jerusalem. He is sore displeased with those who are arragantly secure in their possession of this holy place and will one day return to build a temple on the center of the controversy, the Temple Mount, this is found in Zechariah 1:14-16. Until the Lord does return to the earth, the controversy surrounding this sacred spot, the Temple Mount, will only increase in intensity, that's also in Zechariah 12:2-3.

The claim by the Jews that Jerusalem is their eternal, undivided capital, and the equally dogmatic claim by the Palestinians that they will reclaim Jerusaelm as their capital city is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

June 6, 2006 has the world buzzing about the prophetic significance of 666

Calendar watchers in the sixth year of the millennium observe the sixth day of the sixth month with worry, hope, and some even humor as theology, mathematics, and commercialism converged on the day described by some as the "Devil's Day", 666.

The number 666 found in the Bible, in Revelation 13:18, is somewhat of a mystery to most Bible scholars who do however acknowledge it is somehow related to the coming Antichrist, a major player in the approaching Apocalypse.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The interest in the biblical numbers 666 in our world today is evidence that an awareness of the approaching time of judgment is also present in our world today. The world today is at least familiar with the biblical concept of the coming of the Messiah, the Second Coming to be exact, of the One that will rule the world.

In fact, even newspapers have what they refer to as a Second Coming headline size, the largest headline banner that could be printed. Calendar watchers have had a hay day talking about and experiencing the sixth day of the sixth month in the sixth year of our millennium. Many speculated that some strange or even Satanic event or events would take place. This report is truly a marker that reveals concern about these numbers 666.

This number, found in Revelation 13:18, is not fully explained; however, it does include Satanic involvement during a future time of judgment during a future time of judgment, the Tribulation Period, as described also in the book of Revelation, chapters 4-19. The connection to the rule by the Antichrist, a Satanicly energized world leader, will control all buying and selling in the Last Days, is that those who want to buy or sell must have this mark, 666 in their forehead or on the back of their hand, that's Revelation 13:16-18. Those who reject the mark will be killed, according to Revelation 20:4.

The interest in our world today surrounding the numbers 666 is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Jews around the world celebrate the Feast of Pentecost

The Jewish holiday of Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost, is one of the three biblical festivals when Jews must make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and it marks the day God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and in fact, the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament.

Tens of thousands of Jews gather at the Western Wall in Jerusalem commemorating the biblical command to visit Jerusalem, and in honor of the command to bring the firstfruits of the wheat harvest to the Temple.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As Jewish people around the world celebrate Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost, they do it on the wrong day, according to the Bible, which has a significant connection to Bible prophecy. Jews in the land of Israel celebrate Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost, for only one day, while Jews around the world mark the beginning of the Torah with a two-day celebration.

This concern over the right day to celebrate Pentecost draws attention to the fact that sometime in the past, the Jewish people eliminated the observance of one of the Jewish feast days, the Feast of Firstfruits. Leviticus 23 sets the parameters for the Jewish people to observe their seven feast days including Firstfruits to take place on the Sunday after the Passover, which Jews do not obey today. I remind you that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on Sunday after Passover, the day that He was crucified.

Because Jews don't observe Firstfruits, they count the fifty days leading up to Pentecost incorrectly. Prophetically, this is significant because in fulfillment of prophecy Jesus Christ was crucified on Passover, buried on Unleaven Bread, and resurrected on Firstfruits, fulfilling the prophetic aspects of the Jewish feast days. In the future, Jesus Christ will return to earth, not rapture the church, but return to earth on the Feast of Trumpets. He will enter the holy of holies and begin to reign from Jerusalem for 1,000 years on the Feast of Tabernacles

Bible prophecy has been and will be fulfilled in absolute accordance to detail.

Jesus Christ did not walk on water, but ice

Dr. Doron Nof, a Florida State University Professor of Oceanography, says that rare conditions could have conspired to create hard-to-see ice on the Sea of Galilee in Northern Israel that a person could actually have walked on back when Jesus is said to have walked on the water.

Professor Nof studied a small section of the cold fresh water surface of the Sea of Galilee near the town of a salty spring along the lake's western shore the floating ice on the lake.

A Florida State University Professor's explanation that Jesus actually was walking on a patch of ice in the Sea of Galilee and not performing a supernatural miracle, is evidence that the Return of Jesus Christ to earth is drawing very close. Professor Nof's research was done in the area, some 10,000 sq. ft. on the coast of the Sea of Galilee on the western side of the lake near the town of Tabgha.

The main problem with the professor's research is that he studied the wrong side of the lake and the section of the lake that supposedly Jesus Christ had walked on the water. Tabgha is the traditional site of the Feeding of the 5,000 and the act of walking on the water. However, the biblical account of this supernatural miracle says that it happened on the eastern side of the lake near Bethsaida; and that is found in John 6:1-21. The phrase, "went over the sea", used in the text is a nautical term; that's found in John 6:1, 17. This indicates that these events occurred on the eastern side of the lake, not on the western side.

This report is evidence of the soon Coming of Jesus Christ as related by Peter in II Peter 3 where he said when the time approaches, people will deny miracles performed by Jesus Christ; for example: the Creation, all in six days, and that the world-wide Flood ever took place; this is found in II Peter 3:1-7.

Jesus Christ performed His miracles while here on earth to confirm He was the Son of God in the flesh and His Second Coming, a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, will indeed be another miracle that will happen seemingly very soon.

Scientists say the Arctic was once a tropical paradise

Scientists have found with first of its kind core samples dug up from the deep beneath the Arctic Ocean floor that 55 million years ago, according to their estimates, an area near the North Pole was practically a subtropical paradise.

The scientists say their findings are a glimpse backward into a much warmer than thought polar region heated by runamuck greenhouse gases that came about naturally.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The supposed scientific study that revealed the Arctic was a tropical paradise 55 million years ago also reveals that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. A recent article in Nature Magazine featuring the report of researchers finding that millions of years ago the average temperature in the Arctic near the North Pole was 74 degrees Fahrenheit concludes that this Northern region was somewhat of a subtropical paradise.

Interestingly, these research scientists say they knew of this thermal event but can only suggest that perhaps massive releases of methane from the ocean or lots of volcanic eruptions caused the Arctic to have this greenhouse effect.

According to the biblical account of Creation, this scientific report is only partially true. The Arctic was once a tropical paradise. The Genesis account of Creation says that all the foliage that makes up a tropical region was actually brought into existence on the third day of Creation, that's Genesis 1:9-13. According to the biblical account of the worldwide Flood, that took place 1,500 years after Creation, there was no winter until after the Flood, when seasons first appeared, that's Genesis 8:22. Thus, the first 1,500 years after Creation there was indeed a greenhouse effect over all the earth, including the Arctic near the North Pole; the whole earth was a tropical paradise.

According to II Peter 3:3-8, these scientists who appear to be willfully ignorant of what really happened in the past, are evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
