Most Muslim suicide bombers are directed by commands in the Koran

According to a report on Pentagon Intelligence Analyst, their preliminary finding is that the Islamic holy book, the Koran, is driving Muslim after Muslim to become suicide bombers revealing that the Koran says dying while fighting the infidels in the cause of Allah reserves a special place and honor in paradise and it earns special favor with Allah.

So concludes a Pentagon briefing paper titled, "Motivation of Muslim Suicide Bombers." In public, the US government has made an effort to avoid linking the terrorist threat to Islam and the Koran while dismissing suicide terrorists as crazed heretics who pervert Islamic teaching.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

This report of a Pentagon briefing paper that connects Muslim suicide bombers to their Islamic faith and their holy book is a reminder of many martyrs who will die in the future as they stand for their faith, that is according to Bible prophecy.

With suicide bombings spreading from the Middle East into Europe and in fact around the world, the Pentagon appointed intelligence analysts to pinpoint what's driving Muslim after Muslim to do the unthinkable. Though politically explosive, the findings reveal that the Muslim suicide bombers are in fact students of the Islamic holy book, the Koran which is the motivation for these Muslim martyrs and as strange as it sounds makes these bombers rational actors on the Islamic stage. Martyrdom of those who stand for their faith in the face of adversity has been down through history, and will be in the future a reality.

Bible prophecy reveals that many believers in Jesus Christ during the seven year period of judgment on earth in the future will become martyrs for their faith. The book of Revelation chapter 6 verses 9-11 indicates there will be a number of souls slain for the Word of God, the Bible and their testimony. Revelation 12:12-17 indicates that Jewish believers in Jesus Christ will also be killed, and Revelation 20:4 says that Tribulation Saints will even be beheaded for their witness of Jesus Christ and for His Word, and because they refused to worship the Devil.

Martyrdom by believers for their faith is a reality for the future.

A new National Security strategy for the US that could replace the UN has been launched

A high powered bipartisan group has launched a new national security strategy for the US that could cut back sharply on the United Nations or could even replace the UN.

The strategy is known as the Princeton Project which includes over 400 participants. The Princeton Project would absorb the rising powers like China, India, Brazil and others into a law based global and economic and diplomatic structure that avoids open conflicts through economic means.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The establishment of a new security strategy based on a global, economic, and diplomatic structure is a precursor to a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

Recent world problems have given rise to a suspicion that the network of international institutions put in place right after WWII are in need of major reforms. The UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and NATO all have been criticized for not being able to meet the needs of our world today. The threats of global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, pandemics, the rise of Asia, the energy crisis, and threats emanating from the Middle East are becoming too numerous to count and to be dealt with by present institutions. With the emergence of the Princeton Project, a high-powered bipartisan group, which has devised a strategy that will seek to chart a long term course for the future.

This present-day scenario sounds almost identical to a prophetic scenario for the End Times that can be found in Bible prophecy. Daniel, an ancient Jewish prophet, wrote of a revised Roman Empire similar to the United States of Europe, or the EU that would become a global power, that's Daniel 7:24-27. John, the Apostle wrote of a one-world economic, political, governmental structure that would come to power in the last 3 1/2 years of during of the seven year Tribulation Period. This one-world system would be headquartered in Babylon, modern-day Iraq and headed up by the world dictator known as Antichrist, this scenario revealed in Revelation 13:12-18 and Revelation 18.

The Princeton Project is indeed a precursor to Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Israel is charging Syria with rearming Hezbollah and Egypt with smuggling arms to the Palestinians in Gaza

As the UN peacekeepers are moving into Southern Lebanon to setup a buffer between Israel and Hezbollah, there is clear evidence according to Israeli intel that Syria is continuing to rearm Hezbollah with weapons from Iran passing through the Bekah Valley to the terrorist fighters.

At the same time according to the head of Shin Bet, the Israeli Security Agency, Egypt is allowing the smuggling of arms and munitions across the Egyptian-Israeli border into the Gaza Strip and often it's Egyptians that are the smugglers. Ironically, Egypt is calling for the release of the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) soldier held by Hamas and is working to bring about a Palestinian unity government.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Egypt, at Israel's Southern border and Syria, at Israel's Northern border will play a key role in current events and future events according to Bible prophecy.

Even though Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace agreement with Israel, normalization of relations between the two nations has never materialized. Syria has had a cease-fire with Israel since the 1973 war and often talked about a peace agreement, but the issue of the Golan Heights has always been a non-starter for Israel. With the aggressive statement recently by Syrian President Bashur Asaad that Syria will liberate the Golan Heights by force if need be, tension is growing between Israel and Syria.

Both Egypt and Syria have been involved in many wars with Israel and current events seem to be setting the stage for future events, prophetic events to come to past. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel prewrote history 2,500 years ago when he wrote in Daniel 11:40-43 that Egypt, the king of the South in the passage, and Syria, the king of the North, will move to eliminate the Jewish state near the time of the End, the time of the return of Jesus Christ's back to the earth.

Egypt's arms smuggling and Syria's rearming of Hezbollah and the threat to liberate the Golan Heights is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Temple treasures looted by the Romans in 70 AD are now back in the Holy Land

According to a British archaeologist, Sean Kingsley a specialist on the Holy Land, the collection of sacred artifacts looted by the Romans from the Temple in Jerusalem and long suspected of being hidden in the vaults of the Vatican are actually in the Holy Land.

Kingsley claims to have discovered what became of the collection which is widely regarded as the greatest of biblical treasures and includes the implements used in Herod's Temple at the time of Jesus Christ. Kingsley believes that the Temple treasures remain a deadly political tool in the volatile Arab-Israeli conflict and that these treasures are in a hiding place deep in Hamas territory in Judea and Samaria.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The claim by British archeologist Sean Kingsley that the Temple treasures are hidden deep in Hamas territory in Israel is very interesting in light of biblical prophecy.

Dr. Sean Kingsley's claim that the treasures from Herod's Temple from the time of Jesus Christ are today somewhere hidden deep in Hamas territory, if true could well rock the world's religions. Kingsley believes the treasure resonates fiercely across modern politics and remains a deadly tool in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict centered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Tradition says that General Titus, leader of the Roman army who looted the Temple treasures in 70 AD took all the Temple implements to Rome and that these sacred items remain there 'til today. Kingsley claims that these Temple treasures traveled first to Carthage, then to Constantinople, before being returned to the Holy Land and are now hidden deep in Hamas territory.

Kingsley may or may not be right, but what we do know for sure is that these implements or a replica of them will be used in a Temple to be rebuilt by the Jewish people during the seven year Tribulation Period yet future in Jerusalem, that can be found in the book of Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1-2.

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has replicated all the Temple implements and trained the priests to operate this coming Temple, a Temple ready to be rebuilt in Jerusalem.

Muslims around the world observe the holiest month on the Muslim calendar, Ramadan

The new moon has indicated the beginning of Ramadan, the Muslims holy month of fasting, and practicing Muslims around the world will refrain from eating and drinking during daylight along with other restrictions and prayers in a long list of religious rituals in the Islamic faith.

Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic calendar, is what Muslims deem the holiest month of the year and believe it to be the month when the Koran was first revealed to the prophet Mohammad, founder of Islam, through the angel Gabriel. Marking this event, Muslims strive to get closer to Allah, their divine, by good deeds, fasting, and paying alms to the poor with restrictions on bad language, inappropriate manners, and sexual relations all during the month of Ramadan.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Muslim observance of Ramadan strikes a blow at the prophetic truths that can be found in the Bible, the Holy Book that predicts the future.

The month long fast in the Muslim world during the Muslim month of Ramadan marks an attack on the people of the Book, the Bible, the people known as Jews and Christians. Ramadan is the month that supposedly the angel Gabriel gave the Muslim prophet Mohammad the Islamic holy book the Koran. The Koran itself introduces the doctrine of abrogation, meaning that Muslims believe that the Koran is the last and final word from god, and that all previous holy books, i.e. the Bible, are abrogated, changed and made to conform to what the Koran says is truth. For example, the Koran says that Allah, the Muslim god, never had a son and it says that Jesus Christ never died and thus never resurrected from the dead. The Koran also says that Jesus Christ is not the coming Messiah who will rule and reign over the universe from His Temple in Jerusalem.

The Koran is wrong. The Bible says Jesus is the Son of God and to those who believe otherwise, He sets aside as Antichrists, that's I John 4:1-3. I Corinthians 15 says that Jesus Christ did die and He resurrected from the dead, and it also says that He is coming again. Revelation 19 says He will be King of Kings and Lord of Lords and rule the entire universe.

True Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Jews around the world celebrate Rosh Hashana

Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, is a joyous holiday of prayer, repentance, sounding of the shofar, and festive meals. This Rosh Hashana comes at a time of political turmoil in Israel with the threat of war from radical Islamic elements in the Middle East.

One of the most important aspects of the traditional services on Rosh Hashana includes the blowing of the shofar with hundreds and even thousands of shofars being blown at the Western Wall in Jerusalem in honor of the Jewish holy day. Security is very high in Israel during the two day celebration of Rosh Hashana with family gatherings, festive meals, and the eating of apples dipped in honey for the purpose of hoping for a sweet and peaceful new year for the Jewish people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The celebration of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, is evidence that we are closer to the return of the Messiah Jesus Christ according to Bible prophecy.

Jews in Israel and around the world are spending time in prayer and repentance as they celebrate the Jewish feast day of Rosh Hashana, the feast of Trumpets. Though Rosh Hashana is a festive family holy day in Judaism, it is also the beginning of Ten Awesome Days of repentance leading up to the Day of Atonement when all Jews seek forgiveness for their sins of this last year.

The celebration of Rosh Hashana started 3500 years ago when the Jews entered the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua. Though Rosh Hashana has a significant historic background it also has a prophetic significance as well. Jesus Christ fulfilled the first four Jewish feast days. He died on Passover (I Corinthians 5:7). He was buried on the Feast of Unleavened Bread and resurrected from the dead on the Feast of Firstfruits (I Corinthians 15:20). Jesus must fulfill the last three feast days as well in the proper day sequences. Jesus will come back to the earth the second time, not the Rapture, on Rosh Hashana in a future time (Matthew 24: 31).

The Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashana today is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled in a future tomorrow.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez calls the US President George Bush "the devil".

"The Devil came here" said Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez referring to US President George Bush as the South American leader addressed the United Nations General Assembly during its annual meeting. Chavez also said that he could still smell the sulfur around the podium. Chavez accused President Bush of having spoken as if he owned the world referring to Mr. Bush as a spokesman for imperialism trying to preserve his current pattern of domination and exploitation.

The Venezuelan President also blasted the United Nations calling the General Assembly merely a deliberative organ that meets once a year and has no power to make any impact on the terrible situation in the present world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Venezuelan President's accusation that US President George Bush is the devil has an interesting prophetic connection according to Bible prophecy.

Hugo Chavez, the outspoken president of Venezuela, surprised many world leaders when he called President Bush "the devil". A number of his counterparts, national leaders in attendance at the annual gathering of the UN General Assembly, have commented that President Chavez was totally out of place to make such an accusation and that it was unbecoming for a world leader to make that statement especially at the United Nations General Assembly.

However, the thought that there could be a connection between the devil and a world leader does have a Biblical basis. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote in chapter 10 of his prophecy that the devil does dispatch demons to empower and even possess world leaders with a Satanic agenda (Daniel 10: 7-20). Paul the apostle wrote to the Ephesians (Ephesians 6:12) that we today wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers of darkness, and evil in the heavenlies. In other words, world leaders are demonically controlled for the devil's endtime agenda.

President Bush, as a born again Christian, could not be demon possessed but other world leaders will according to Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan says the United Nations must end the Middle East conflict

Addressing world leaders for the last time as UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan said the Arab-Israeli conflict was the most potent and emotionally charged conflict in the world today and the United Nations must bring both sides to accept and implement its resolution. Annan painted a grim picture of the unjust world economy, global disorder, and widespread contempt for human rights and he appealed for nations and peoples to truly unite.

The annual UN General Assembly, with its 192 UN member states, had on its agenda an attempt to promote Middle East peace, the curbing of Iran's nuclear ambitions, getting peace keepers into conflict racked Darfur, and the promotion of democracy - a very ambitions agenda.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The annual gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly and the call by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan for Middle East peace is a precursor for the end times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.

In his last speech to world leaders as Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan set as the priority for the 192 member states of the UN, the resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Annan said that the daily frustrations of the Palestinians and the ongoing slaughter of innocent Israelis continues to inflame passions everywhere. The Secretary-General said that respect for the United Nations will decline as long as this international political body does not bring resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

There is a great prophetic significance to the Secretary-General's statement that the most potent and emotionally charged conflict in the world today is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Almost every ancient Jewish prophet speaks to some aspect of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Daniel and Ezekiel reveal the part that Syria, Egypt, Turkey and Iran play in the end times conflict. Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Zechariah foretell the role that Iraq will play in the last days. Malachi and Obadiah talk of the major role that the Palestinians will have in the end times.

The focus of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the speech by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the UN General Assembly is indeed a precursor to Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

US President Bush and Iranian President Ahmadinejad both address the world at the UN General Assembly

US President George W. Bush challenged world leaders to do more to build democracy in the Middle East as he spoke at the UN General Assembly, a gathering of world leaders in New York City.

The President saying that establishing democracies in the Middle East would give people in the region a vision of hope, and opportunity, and a better future. Among those in the audience of the UN General Assembly was Iranian President Ahmadinejad who is an outspoken critic of US foreign policy and continues to challenge the world for its right to develop its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad came to the gathering of world leaders with an endorsement for his nuclear program from a recent gathering in Cuba of the non-aligned nations who said Iran does have a right to its nuclear program even though it could lead to a nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD).

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly with speeches from two totally contradictory world views is a prototype of things to come according to Bible prophecy.

The annual gathering of the UN General Assembly brings world leaders together for the purpose of allowing each of them an opportunity to impact the world with his or her vision for the future. Though not in truth a Christian nation, the US is operated on biblical principles and has been so from the time of its inception over 200 years ago. Thus, the US President brings to his address, a Christian world view perspective. The Iranian President Ahmadinejad with a different world view than President Bush, brings to his speech for the world leaders a vision based upon his religious background and the fact that his nation is an Islamic republic with the law of the land, Sharia Law, from the Islamic holy book.

This annual meeting at the UN this year was indeed a prototype for the future when these two different world views will clash. Bible prophecy reveals that the forces of good and evil will clash during the seven year Tribulation Period during which the judgments of God, the God of the bible, not Allah of the Islamic faith, will be the victor, that's Revelation 19. Ephesians 6:12 says we will see the fight to bring down world leaders who oppose the return of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Two opposing world views presented at the UN General Assembly do indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Palestinian Islamic leaders are calling on Pope Benedict to convert to Islam in order to spare his life

Islamic and Arab national leaders, many Muslim clerics, and thousands of Muslims throughout the Islamic world have denounced Pope Benedict for his comments in a recent speech where he quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor who said that the Muslim prophet Mohammad had only brought evil and inhumane events to the world.

Now, Palestinian Islamic leaders are calling for the Pope to not only apologize for his comments, but seek forgiveness, and they say according to the words of the prophet Mohammad, the Pope must convert to Islam if he wants to spare his life. The Vatican has beefed up the security around the Pope, even as they released Pope Benedict's statement of apology for offending the Muslim world with his statement that he says do not reflect his beliefs.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A conflict between Pope Benedict and the Islamic world is only evidence of the stage being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The firestorm that was sparked by Pope Benedict's statements and his call for an open dialogue with the Islamic world on the subject of Jihad, Islamic holy war, has grown to the extent that some Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations are saying that the Pope may have well sparked the war between Islam and the rest of the world. Statements and threats being made by the Muslim world seem to be proving the Pope's thesis about Jihad, Islamic holy war. For sure, this controversy is setting the stage for an End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

As Jesus said, before He returns to the earth, people will rise up to fight people, kingdom against kingdom, that's Matthew 24:6-7. The Devil, in the End Times, will use nations and even religious philosophies to take over the world and become it's ruler, and that's revealed in Revelation 13. The Devil's desire to be the God of the universe will be brought to an end when Jesus Christ returns to setup His Kingdom, a theocracy, and He, not a Satanic religion will rule the world forever.

The controversy between Pope Benedict and Islam is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The PA President Mahmoud Abbas says there will be a Palestinian unity government but will that bring peace?

The President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Mahmoud Abbas, says that his political party Fatah will form a unity government with Hamas, the present ruling party in the PA, and Hamas agrees there will be a unity government to lead the Palestinian people.

Abbas and the Hamas leader, PM Haniyeh, will meet to form the unity government cabinet to lead the PA with a mix of Hamas and Fatah leaders; a reformation of the PA that these Palestinian leaders hope will restart the flow of funds from the EU, the US, and other nations of the world. There are questions as to how the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians will be affected since Hamas has already said the unity government has nothing to do with recognizing Israel's right to exist in the Middle East.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The agreement by the Palestinians to form a unity government of the nationalistic and the religious camps of the Palestinian people is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the End Times.

Since last January, the PA has been led by Hamas, the radical Islamic movement in the body politic of the Palestinian people. World leaders stopped the flow of all funding based upon the radical philosophy of Hamas and their refusal to call a stop to all violence and recognize that the Jewish people have a right to a state in the Middle East. Through the diplomatic efforts of Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the PA, Hamas and Fatah, the two Palestinian political parties have agreed to form a unity government, but the reality is that Hamas with its radical Islamic philosophy will never recognize Israel or give up its right to eliminate the Jewish state from the Middle East and that is a page right out of Bible prophecy.

Ezekiel 35, Jeremiah 49, Malachi 1 and the little prophetic book of Obadiah all reveal that the Palestinians, the Edomites of biblical times, will come to power in the Last Days and endeavor to destroy the Jewish state of Israel.

Obadiah says, however that the Palestinians will be the ones destroyed instead and will never exist forever.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger warns that the US and Europe must unite to head off a war of civilizations

In an opinion column in the Washington Post, the renown foreign policy expert, Henry Kissinger, said the potential for a global catastrophe dwarfed lingering transatlantic mistrust left over from the Iraq war and called for unity between the US and Europe.

The former Secretary of State warned that Europe and the US must unite to head off a war of civilizations arising from a nuclear armed Middle East and a common Atlantic policy must become top priority for Europe and the US. Kissinger wrote that the big threats were the emergence of transnational groups and Iran at the center of the challenge with its nuclear program.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning from foreign policy expert Henry Kissinger of a coming war of civilizations is an alert to students of Bible prophecy of a scenario for the Last Days found in God's Word, the Bible.

World leaders, foreign policy experts, and political pundents have been warning of a coming international conflict which is quickly approaching our world. Several of these observers of current events have even mentioned that we are now involved in WWIII or at least at the beginning phases of a world war. The numerous conflicts around the world are only evidence that the trends do seem to indicate the closeness of a war of civilizations.

As I mentioned, students of Bible prophecy look at current events with a biblical prophetic world view and recognize the times in which we are living as the times described in Bible prophecy. Jesus Christ said there would be wars and rumors of wars, nation would rise against nation and kingdoms against kingdoms, that's a war of civilizations and that warning came from the Lord's Olivet Discourse found recorded in Matthew 24:6-7. Many Jewish prophets wrote of these international conflicts some 2,500 years ago. Prophets like Obadiah, Joel, Micah and Zechariah and the New Testament John the Apostle in the book of Revelation. In fact, John and Zechariah revealed how this war of civilizations would come together in Revelation 19 and Zechariah 14.

Kissinger's warning of a coming war of civilizations is evidence Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

Pope Benedict is calling for dialogue to discuss Islamic holy war as against God's nature

Pope Benedict in a major lecture at Regensburg University in Germany where he taught theology for a number of years, invited Muslims to join in a dialogue based on the premise that the concept of Islamic holy war is unreasonable and against God's nature.

The Pontiff avoided making a direct criticism of Islam as he packaged his comments in a highly complex academic lecture with references ranging from ancient Jewish and Greek thinking to Protestant theology and modern Atheism. The Pope used the terms, "jihad" and "holy war" in his lecture and added that violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Pope Benedict's condemnation of Jihad, Islamic holy war, as incompatible with the nature of God sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

In a recent lecture at Regensburg University, the Pontiff invoked the writings of a fourteenth century Byzantine emporer who wrote that Mohammad had brought things only evil and inhumane such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached. In his call for Muslims to join the dialogue of cultures on the issue of Jihad, the Pope said that Christianity is tightly linked to reason in contrast to this view with those who believe in spreading their faith by the sword. There appears a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

John, who wrote the book of Revelation, described a one world religion that would rule during the first half of the seven year Tribulation Period from the seven-hilled city of Rome and be headed up by the Antichrist, that's Revelation 17. According to Islamic doctrine, it cannot align itself with other religions of the world. Thus, for this worldwide religious union to take place, Islam must be removed.

That scenario, Islam's demise, is the outcome of a war between the Islamic world and Israel described in Ezekiel 38 with Islam destroyed, that's Ezekiel 39:1-6.

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.

As America and the world remembers 9-11, Al Qaeda warns of another attack

Al Qaeda's number two leader Al Zawahiri called on Muslims to increase their resistance to the US on the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks and warned the US of another attack.

The Al Qaeda leader said the days are pregnant and giving birth to new events with Allah's permission and guidance and that the US should worry about their presence in the Persian Gulf and in addition they should worry about Israel. The recently released Al Qaeda video tape showed images of two of the terrorists involved in 9-11 superimposed over background pictures of the crumbling World Trade Center towers and the burning of the Pentagon.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The reality of Al Qaeda following through on its threats to attack America again and US interest in Israel and Iraq is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

As America and the world stop to remember the horrific attack on the US September 11, 2001, a newly released videotape from Al Qaeda warns of additional attacks on America and her interest in the Middle East including Iraq and Israel. Al Qaeda's number two, Al Zawahiri, includes in his video message a call for the Muslim world to intensify its resistance and prepare for more attacks against the US. The fact that Al Zawahiri mentioned both Israel and Iraq in his warning to America has a definite relationship to a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Al Qaeda's number one, Osama Bin Laden, has called for an Islamic world empire, a caliphate, to be setup and headquartered in Iraq which has great prophetic significance with Joel, an ancient Jewish prophet, first revealing that a mighty military will attack Israel, Joel 2:2-3, and John the Apostle in the New Testament book of Revelation chapter 18 indicating that biblical Babylon, which is modern-day Iraq, will be the headquarters for a Satanic regime that wants to destroy not only a Jewish state, but all Jewish people.

The backbone of America today is the truly born-again Christian and when the Rapture takes place, when all Christians will depart the earth, it will leave America no longer a superpower and the force that stops Satan's embassaries from going after the Jews as Al Qaeda has warned.

There is a scientific report that says planet earth is going back to the age of the Dinosaur

According to some scientists, global warming over the coming century could mean a return to the temperatures last seen in the age of the dinosaur and which led to the extinction of up to half of all species on the earth at that time.

The British Association for the Advancement of Science at their annual meeting were told that the earth may already be on the breaking edge of a wave of mass extinctions as global average temperatures become higher than they have been in the last 10 million years.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

According to a recently released scientific report, the earth is going back to the age of the dinosaur, a very interesting report in light of Bible prophecy.

As the world listens to statement after statement and watches film documentations on the subject of global warming, the most recent pronouncement indicates that our earth is facing climatic changes today that will take us back to the conditions prevalent of yesterday, and the yesteday that scientists are referring to is the period of time when dinosaurs roamed this earth. The campaign to prepare the world for the results of global warming has received another boost to get the word out and to everybody.

As a student of Bible prophecy and as a student of the entire Bible, I would suggest several observations as it relates to the End Times and this issue of global warming. I do not know, nor does anybody else really know the truth about global warming. I do know however, during the time of judgment in the future, the Tribulation Period, there will also be ecological judgment on the earth: grass and trees will be burned up, the oceans will turn to blood, the fish of the seas will be killed, and fresh water, rivers, and lakes will turn to blood also, that's Revelation 8:7-11 and 16:3-7. As it relates to the age of dinosaurs, according to scientists, 10 million years ago, that is impossible unless one is willfully ignorant which is how the Apostle Peter described people during the time of the near return of Jesus Christ back to the earth, and that's found in II Peter 3:3-7.

A supposed scientific report that says we're going back to the age of dinosaurs does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Iraqi government has taken control of its armed forces

At a ceremony to mark the handover of Iraq's military forces to the Iraqi government, General George Casey, the top US commander in Iraq, said from this day forward the Iraqi military will be led by Iraqis.

US military spokesman, General William Caldwell, said that if you go back and map out significant events military that have occurred in Iraq's formation of its government's taking control of its country, the transfer of control of the military is a huge significant event.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The transfer of control over Iraq's armed forces from the US to Iraq is significant militarily, politically, and prophetically, that is according to Bible prophecy.

US officials claim that Iraq's assuming of the control of its armed forces is a crucial
milestone on the country's difficult road to independence. Prime minister Maliki now has complete control over Iraq's military and the PM said this rebuilt military will move to bring an end to sectarian violence. After disbanding the Iraqi army following the US led invasion in 2003, the US and other foreign forces have been training the new Iraqi military for the purpose of this transfer of leadership. As this war-torn nation continues to rebuild politically and militarily, a future Iraq comes better into focus that is being prepared for a significant role in Bible prophecy.

The End Times scenario for Iraq is found in Revelation 18 which speaks of Iraq, biblical Babylon in the text, which will be the future world headquarters for an economic, governmental, political system that will be headed up by Antichrist. Iraq, which I once again remind you is biblical Babylon, must be rebuilt for its role in Bible prophecy because it ultimately must be completely destroyed and never inhabited again, that is forever, that's found in Isaiah 13 and 14, Jeremiah 50 and 51, and Revelation 18. In fact, the last judgment of the seven year Tribulation Period is the total destruction of Iraq, biblical Babylon, and then Jesus Christ comes back to earth, that's Revelation 16:17-21 and Zechariah 14:4.

Iraq taking control of its military does bring this world closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

President George W. Bush claims Al Qaeda's vision is to create a global Islamic state with Iraq as its capital

In a recent speech, US President George W. Bush vowed to prevent Al Qaeda from creating a violent radical Islamic empire based in Iraq, which he said is the ultimate goal of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

The President said Islamic radicals would like to obtain nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in order to blackmail the free world and spread the ideologies of hate setting up a caliphate, a global theocratic regime, over the free world of today. President Bush said that Bin Laden has declared Iraq the capital of the caliphate and he compared the Al Qaeda leader to 20th century dictators like Russia's Vladimir Lennon and Germany's Adolph Hitler.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by US President Bush that Al Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden, wants Iraq to be the capital of a global Islamic empire has an interesting connection to Bible prophecy for the End Times.

Public statements by Osama Bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist network Al Qaeda, that Iraq will be the capital of the caliphate had been broadcasted across the world from Bin Laden's videotaped messages aired on all the news media. The continuing controversial war in Iraq seems to be, by all accounts, the battleground for the establishment of a Democratic Middle East, but radical Islamic resistance has put the process in jeopardy. The world has tried to reason that Bin Laden's goal of a caliphate, a global Islamic theocratic regime under Sharia Law, is not the goal of all of Islam. However, one finds it very difficult to explain away the doctrine of a global empire which is the stated Last Days scenario that can be found in the Islamic holy book, the Koran.

Bin Laden's call for Iraq to be the capital of the caliphate is right in line with Bible prophecy. Revelation 18 reveals that biblical Babylon, today's Iraq, will be the capital of a world wide, economic, political, governmental system headed up by a dictator, the Antichrist.

This prophetic passage along with Revelation 13:12-18 lays out the biblical foundation for this present-day scenario to be the stage setting for Bin Laden's declaration to come to pass.

Israel is preparing for a war with Iran and Syria

According to Israeli political and military sources, the Israeli government is preparing for a war with a nuclear armed Iran and the terrorist sponsoring state of Syria, a challenge that is now top of the Israeli defense agenda, higher than the Palestinian threat.

The conflict with Hezbollah has led to a strategic rethink in Israel and a key conclusion is that too much attention has been paid to Palestinian militants in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria instead of the two biggest state sponsors of terrorism in the region. It is evident that Iran's growing confidence after the war in Lebanon means Israel must be prepared for a full-scale war in which Syria will be a key player.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News


The perception that Hezbollah won the war against Israel has encouraged Iran and Syria to make war against the Jewish state, a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

As Israeli political and military leaders rethink the security situation after the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict ended with the perception that Hezbollah won the war, the Jewish state must now make ready for the sponsors of Hezbollah to attack them in a time they seem to be vulnerable. Public confidence shown by both President Ahmadinejad of Iran and President Bashur Assad of Syria after the supposed Hezbollah victory, is evidence that Israel must focus on the real threat in the Middle East to the Jewish state. Both Iran and Syria have ballistic missiles that can hit any part of Israel and both states have access to chemical and biological warheads with Iran very near to having a nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD).

This developing scenario is a perfect match to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophets Daniel and Ezekiel and the Psalmist all wrote about the aggressive attacks by the two terrorist sponsoring states, Iran and Syria, at a time in history leading up to the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Daniel 11:40 mentions Syria, the king of the North, in alliance with Iran, known as Persia in Ezekiel 38:5, with the Psalmist mentioning both Syria, Assur in Psalm 83:8, and Iran, the Hagarenes, in verse 6 also of Psalm 83.

These prophetic passages contain prewritten history that is coming into focus and will be fulfilled.

Former VP Al Gore warns of the end of civilization

Former US Vice President Al Gore admits to his failing to get his climate change message across as a politician and he promised to devote himself to the task of warning people around the world about an impending planetary emergency.

A recently released documentary film featuring the former US Vice President is based on lectures that Gore has been delivering and includes the message that the world was now facing a danger which could bring an end of civilization.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning from former US Vice President Al Gore that global warming could bring an end to civilization has an interesting connection to the Last Days scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. The documentary film, "An inconvenient Truth", based on lectures by former US Vice President Al Gore is the vehicle by which Mr. Gore has devoted himself to the task of warning the people of the world about what he calls an impending planetary emergency.

The former Vice President said that he believes the scientists that say there may be 10 years remaining to avoid crossing the point of no return. In speeches that Mr. Gore is delivering as he travels the world, he warns that we face the danger of the end of civilization, which is also the message of Bible prophecy. However, Bible prophecy reveals that the end of civilization as we know it today is over 1,000 years away, not 10 years as the former Vice President reports.

The prophetic scenario found in the Bible reveals that the Rapture of the followers of Jesus Christ is next, that's I Thessalonians 4 and Revelation 4:1-2. After Christians depart, there will be 7 years of judgment upon the earth with vast changes in the weather, but not the end of civilization, that's after the 1,000 years of a Kingdom on earth under the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and that's found in Revelation 20:4-6. The end of civilization is after the 1,000 years when the world is burned up and God gives us a new Heaven and new earth, that's found in Revelation 1:1 and II Peter 3:10.

The real truth is Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Army of Islam has been formed in the Gaza Strip

The Army of Islam, a Palestinian Muslim terror group aligned with the ideology of al Qaeda, has been formed in the Gaza Strip and they say the plan is to aim their attacks against the enemies of Islam and their collaborators among the Arab states as well in addition to their attacks concentrated on Israeli occupation of Muslim lands.

Abu Mohammed, the leader of the Army of Islam, says that Jihad, Islamic holy war, will be the main tool and weapon against the US initiated new Middle East when the day comes to fight and he believes that day is not so far away. Abu Mohammed says the ultimate goal is the Islamic state for everybody, a state ruled by Sharia Law that will replace the corrupted states founded by the West.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The newly formed Army of Islam in the Gaza Strip is a precursor to the fulfillment of a prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The vision of Abu Mohammed, the leader of the Army of Islam, is for an Islamic kingdom over all the world to be in place and under Sharia Law in the near future. Abu Mohammed believes the best and quickest way to bring his vision to reality is Jihad, Islamic holy war, and his Army of Islam is ready to bring the battle. This idea of an army of Islam is the same focus of the leader of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, who proposed several years ago that the Muslim world must unite and form a mighty Muslim militia. Another King Abdullah, the king of Jordan, endorsed the Saudi leader's proposal and called for the formation of an army of Islam.

The newly formed Muslim militia in the Gaza Strip, the Army of Islam, is on the direct course called for in Bible prophecy for the End Times. Joel, an ancient Jewish prophet, spoke of a mighty militia that will form in the Last Days to attack Jerusalem and the Jewish state, a military might the size of which the world has never seen and will never see again, that's found in Joel 2:2-3.

The only people on earth that could form that size of a military is the Muslim world and the Army of Islam is evidence that Bible prophecy is near fulfillment.
