Pope Benedict calls the divisions among Christians a scandal to the world

In a meeting with the religious leader of the Orthodox churches worldwide at his ancient enclave in Turkey, a Muslim country, Pope Benedict called the divisions among Christians a scandal to the world.

The Pope also appeared to send conflicting signals to Turkey's political establishment as he recalled the deep roots of Christianity in Europe, this after the Pope's endorsement for the Muslim nation to become a member state in the European Union (EU). This meeting between Pope Benedict and Patriarch Bartholomew is part of Benedict's plan to fully unite these two ancient branches of Christianity which split nearly 1,000 years ago.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The ecumenical goal of Pope Benedict to unite the Catholic Church with the Orthodox Church after a 1,000 year split is a precursor to a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The very controversial trip to the Muslim country of Turkey by the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict, has included a political significance as well as a religious significance. The Pope's trip to Turkey has been an endeavor to mend fences between the Papacy and the Muslim world. Included in the Pope's pronouncements of his desire to develop closer relationships between the Muslim and Christian world, Benedict also has endorsed Turkey's effort to to become a member state in the EU which would make them the first Muslim state in the EU. Calling the divisions in the Christian world a scandal, the Pope also moved forward in his goal to reunite the Christian world under one umbrella.

This scenario is a perfect match for what will be the plan of Antichrist during the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period as found in Revelation 17, a one-world religion headquartered in Rome, Italy. This worldwide ecumenical church of the future coming together with the approval of the revived Roman Empire of which the EU is is a prototype.

The Pope's statements while in Turkey seem to be setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

President Bush Meets Prime Minister Maliki in Jordan for a Reality Check

With the dramatic change in Congress at the midterm elections, President Bush has become pressured to find a new blueprint for Iraq and hopes to do so as he meets with Prime Minister Maliki in Amman, Jordan in a two-day summit hosted by Jordan's King Abdullah. PM Maliki comes to the meeting under the threat that his Iraqi government could fall apart if the radical Islamic cleric Muqtada al-Sadr follows through on his threat to pull his political alliance out of the Maliki government if the PM goes ahead with the meeting with President Bush.

Jordan's King Abdullah urged Iraq to seek unity, calling on Iraq's religious and political leaders not to allow their country to disintegrate, which he said could have a devastating affect on the entire Middle East region.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Jordan summit between President Bush and PM Maliki will not only have great political significance, but even greater prophetic significance. The deteriorating situation in Iraq demands a new course be taken in order to bring the country out of the chaos and into some kind of stability. Otherwise, as King Abdullah stated, it could effect the entire Middle East.

Under pressure to restore order to Iraq, both Bush and Maliki must develop a plan for this war-torn nation to rebuild. This task seems impossible with the conflicting agendas of the body politic of Iraq. This scenario today is setting the stage for the prophetic scenario for the future that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Modern day Iraq is biblical Babylon. God's prophetic Word has much to say about the future for Babylon. The ultimate bottom line for Iraq is total destruction - never to be rebuilt, (Isaiah 13 & 14, Jeremiah 50 & 51, and Revelation 16 & 18). However, before the final destruction of Babylon, Iraq must come to power as the economic, political, and governmental center of the world, (Revelation 18). Revelation 17:17 states that God uses world leaders to accomplish His will. Possibly, the Bush-Maliki summit will set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Security for Pope Benedict's visit to Turkey is higher than President Bush's last visit

The visit by Pope Benedict to Turkey where he was greeted on his arrival by the Turkish Prime Minister (PM) Tayyip Erdogan is a papal visit under tight security with 15,000 police on guard, a higher security for the Pope's visit than for President Bush's visit in 2004.

The Pope's visit, his first trip to a mainly Muslim country, has been overshadowed by angry protesters by the thousands in the streets of the nation, protesters enraged by comments the Pontiff made about Islam. The Pope told PM Erdogan he wanted to visit Turkey because it was a bridge between religions and cultures.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A visit to a Muslim country by a world renown religious leader under tense conditions and high security is a foretaste of things to come according to Bible prophecy.

For the week proceeding this first ever visit by Pope Benedict to a Muslim country, tens of thousands of Muslims rushed to the streets of Turkey to protest this state visit. Enraged by what Muslims around the world claim were derogatory statements about Islam and its founder Mohammad, these Turkish demonstrators have put the very safety and security of the world's most popular religious leader in question. Death threats against the Pope from all across the Muslim world have focused attention on this controversial visit to Turkey.

This scenario is a foretaste of things to come. Bible prophecy reveals the presence of a world renown religious leader who will confront the Islamic world and in fact play the lead role in the destruction of several Muslim countries, that's found in Daniel 11:40-43, with the pronoun, "him" of that passage, the religious leader known as the Antichrist and the kings of the North and the South as Syria and Egypt respectively. This world leader, the Antichrist, will be headquartered in Rome and lead the way to the destruction of the Islamic world, that's found in Ezekiel 39:2.

Current events in Turkey do indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Israel's PM wants to give up a great deal of Israeli territory to the Palestinians for peace

In a major policy address at the grave site of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister (PM), Israeli PM Ehud Olmert extended a hand of peace to the Palestinians, a far-reaching vision for peace reaffirming that Israel would be willing to withdraw from a great deal of territory in return for a true peace.

The Israeli PM said that within this framework the Palestinians could establish an independent viable state and have sovereignty over recognized borders.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Israeli PM Ehud Olmert's offer of a true peace to the Palestinians with their own independent state is an offer that may be a non-starter in light of biblical prophecy.

In a dramatic fashion, Israeli PM Olmert gave a major policy speech with an outstretched hand that contained a far-reaching vision for peace with the Palestinians. In exchange for a true peace and the recognition that Israel has a right to be a nation in the Middle East, PM Olmert stated that Israel would give the Palestinians an independent state and to do so the Jewish state would give up much territory including the Jewish settlements.

This offer of peace to the Palestinians by PM Olmert has many pitfalls not only politically, but prophetically. Prophetically, the Bible in a number of passages reveals that a true peace between the Jews and the Palestinians will not happen, those passages include Ezekiel 35, Jeremiah 49, and Malachi 1. In fact, the prophetic book of Obadiah says that in the final analysis, the Jews will completely destroy the Palestinians, that's Obadiah 17-18. Olmert's offer to give up the Jewish settlements in exchange for this peace will trigger a second Jewish state in the area of the Jewish settlements, that's found in Ezekiel 37:15-23. In fact, all of these prophetic passages speak of the Palestinians, the biblical Edomites, killing the Jewish people and taking their land.

PM Olmert's offer of concessions to the Palestinians for a true peace will ultimately fail.

Mexico has launched a giant telescope that they say will give us clues about the creation of the universe

Mexican President Vicente Fox has inaugurated a giant telescope that they say could help scientists uncover clues about the creation of the universe as it picks up radio waves that have been supposedly traveling through space for nearly the 13 billion years.

The director of the National Astrophysics Institute in Mexico said at the inauguration of the giant telescope that it would allow scientists to make discoveries about the formation and evolution of galaxies and stars and about the origin of the universe itself. President Fox said that this telescope will put Mexico in the scientific, investigative vanguard in astrophysics.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The announcement by Mexican President Vicente Fox of its new giant telescope and its potential to uncover clues about the creation of the universe has an interesting connection with Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

Vicente Fox, the president of Mexico, has inaugurated the most important scientific and technological project in the history of his country, the giant telescope that could help uncover clues to the creation of our universe. The telescope which resembles a gigantic satellite dish, sits high in the mountains where the air is so thin, that the scientists working at the site have to have bottle oxygen on hand in case of an emergency. The National Astrophysics Institute in Mexico believes that this new telescope will help mankind to discover the formation and the evolution of galaxies, the stars, and even the universe itself.

This investigation into the origins of the universe is evidence that modern day science does not accept the account of Creation, the origins of this universe and all that is in it, as found in the Bible in Genesis 1. This is actually what Peter the Apostle said would happen in the Last Days. Men would be willfully ignorant or dumb on purpose about God's creative act for everything that is, that's found in II Peter 3:1-8.

A denial of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is also coupled with this denial that God created this world.

Thanksgiving Day is evidence that the US government and the Bible can work in harmony

The United States of America stops today to give thanks for all the blessings and freedoms that we have and this day is a special day set aside by the US government to do exactly what the Bible calls for us all to do, give thanks in all things.

Families will gather for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and dressing, the young men and even some of us old guys will break out in the annual game of touch football and the ladies, well they'll be there to cheer us on, and in fact heal up any of the bruises sustained in the afternoon free-for-all. Those of us with loved ones on a far away battlefield will thank God for their protection and ask God for their safe return to the family circle for next Thanksgiving: and all of this on a day of thanksgiving required by the Bible and set aside by decree of our own government.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Today is a day set aside for all of us to be thankful, but as we move closer to the time of the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, our world will become more and more unthankful, that is according to Bible prophecy. The principle of thanksgiving: there are over 100 locations in the Bible where the scriptures speak of thanks and thanksgiving. We are told to give thanks in all things for it is the will of God in Christ Jesus, First Thessalonians 5:18.

The product of thanksgiving: interestingly when we stop to give thanks, the end result is to our own personal benefit. Paul, an apostle, in a letter that he wrote to the Philippians, states that giving thanks brings us true joy. Paul also wrote the people in Colosse that giving thanks helps us to abound in the faith, a faith that is needed for all of life Colossians 2:7.

The prophecy of unthankfulness: as we approach the time of the Second Coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Paul reminded us that he wrote a letter to Timothy to tell him that people would be unthankful at that time, Second Timothy 3:2.

Unthankfulness is one of the major signs of the last days and as those days approach we need to be looking up in anticipation of His coming, but also in thanksgiving as well. Remember on this day of thanksgiving, unthankfulness is an indicator, a trend, a sign of the judgment that is coming, that is according to Bible prophecy.

Russia is worried that its Muslim community is on track to account for more than half its population

Low domestic birthrates coupled with ever-increasing immigration from the former Soviet Republic is producing explosive growth in Russia's Muslim community which is on track to account for more than half its population by mid-century.

Russia's national fertility rate is 1.28 children per woman, far below what is needed to maintain the country's population of nearly 143 million, while the average fertility rate for Russian Muslims is six children per woman. Russia's Muslim population has increased by 40% since 1989 and by 2015, Muslims will make up a majority of Russia's military, figures that have Slavic Russians concerned about becoming a minority in their own country.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The ever-increasing Muslim population in Russia is setting the stage for the prophetic scenario found in Bible for the Last Days.

The former superpower nation of Russia has in recent years been moving to reestablish itself as a major player on the world scene. Russian President Vladimir Putin, a major force in Russian politics, has emerged as a key player in world affairs and looks to continue to impact Russia, Europe, and in fact the world. However, there are concerns that the explosive birth rate and immigration of Muslims in Russia could also have an impact on world affairs in the very near future.

This is a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days as it pertains to Russia. Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet some 2,500 years ago prewrote history with his prophecy that the geographical location known then as Magog, modern-day Russia, would lead a coalition of nations to destroy Israel, that's Ezekiel 38:2. All the other nations in that coalition would be of Islamic or Arabic background, that's Ezekiel 38 as well verses 2-6.

Russia's ever-increasing Muslim population is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The EU is being told that the US is no longer in position to set the agenda in our world

The US philanthropist and liberal political activist, George Soros, addressed the European Policy Center in Brussels telling them that the foreign policy of the US under President George W. Bush is no longer in the position to set the agenda in the world after having brought the world into disarray by its failed war on terror.

Soros also said that he had bad news on Russia, explaining it has emerged as an authoritarian state using natural resources to assert its power and Russia wants to control all institutions of democracy. Soros urged the European Union (EU) to shelve its proposed constitution and simplify its decision making process which is urgent for the EU to be more effective on the world stage.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

With the US no longer setting the agenda for the world, there is a call for the EU to become the major player on the world stage. This is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

World leaders are watching the leadership of the US, after their most recent election, to see if indeed America can continue to set the agenda for the world. There are those who argue that the US has and will continue to lose its influence in the decision making process for our world today. Among those who say the US war on terror has failed and brought the world into disarray is the very rich and very liberal political activist, George Soros, who is calling on the EU to step up and take charge of the world agenda with or without a EU constitution.

As I report this to you, I cannot set aside the scenario found in Bible prophecy for the End Times that reads almost word-for-word with my report. Prophetically the EU, most likely the infrastructure for the prophesied revived Roman Empire of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13, this United States of Europe will take over the lead role in the final drama on the world stage. A world leader will come out of this emerging very powerful economic, political, governmental system, the revived Roman Empire to lead the world until Jesus Christ returns.

The call by George Soros for the EU to step up and take charge is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Henry Kissinger says a military victory in Iraq is impossible

The former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, said during a television interview in London recently that a military victory is no longer possible in Iraq and the US government must enter into dialog with Iraq's regional neighbors including Iran, if progress is to be made in the region.

Kissinger said that if you define military victory as that which brings the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, that is impossible. A dramatic collapse of Iraq would have disastrous consequences for which we would pay for many years, and which would bring US troops back one way or another into the region.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent statement by Henry Kissinger that a military victory in Iraq is impossible may be true in the short term, but not in the long term that is according to Bible prophecy.

The recent US elections had a significant impact on the military strategy of the US in Iraq in the short term with recommendations coming into focus from all parties with many approaches for the future. Middle Eastern leaders of terrorist sponsoring states, and in fact those terror organizations themselves, have been rejoicing over the supposed repudiation of the Bush Middle East policy as it relates to Iraq. Now, with the pronouncement by Henry Kissinger, a close adviser to President Bush, that a military victory in Iraq is impossible, the future direction of Bush administration Middle East policy is somewhat in question. However, the final scenario militarily in Iraq is very clear in the pages of Bible prophecy.

Iraq, which is biblical Babylon, has a destiny already decided and is described in Bible prophecy. Isaiah and Jeremiah, ancient Jewish prophets, wrote over 2,500 years ago that Babylon, modern-day Iraq, will be destroyed when it is at its pinnacle of power in the last 3 1/2 years of the future 7 year period of judgment called the Tribulation, that's Isaiah 13-14 and Jeremiah 50-51.

In the short term maybe no military victory, but war-torn Iraq must be rebuilt and become the seed of world power.

Tens of thousands of Jews entered the Palestinian territories to celebrate the Jewish scriptures

Tens of thousands of Jewish worshipers entered the city of Hevron, a Palestinian town in the disputed territories, to celebrate the Jewish scriptures with the reading of the Torah - the portion found in Genesis 23 - a record of Abraham 4,000 years ago purchasing a burial site for his wife and himself.

David Wilder, spokesperson for the Jewish community of about 1,000 living in Hevron, says this gathering shows the tremendous support the Jewish people have for residents of Hevron and reaffirms their commitment to live in this biblical city. The high point of this large gathering of Jews in Hevron is the reading of Genesis 23 on the exact spot where biblical history took place some 4,000 years ago.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Tens of thousands of Jews gathered in Hevron reading Genesis 23 is evidence that the Jews do have a claim to the land of Israel as promised in Bible prophecy.

Annually, tens of thousands of Jewish worshipers ascend to Hevron in the disputed territories of Israel to read a portion of the Torah, Genesis 23 - a record of the Jewish right to the land. Hevron's Jewish community of around 1,000 Jews surrounded by 150,000 Palestinian Arabs has been a controversial spot for centuries with the Jews claiming their biblical and legal right to the land in Hevron. They say that the Jewish scriptures found in Genesis 23 gives them the title deed to this piece of real estate.

Bible prophecy confirms this Jewish claim for not only Hevron and the Machpelah Cave, but all the land that God promised Abraham and the Jews forever. Genesis 15 and 38 other portions of scripture, reveals that God promised the Jews 10 times what they have today, which includes: half of Egypt, all of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, half of Iraq and 3/4 of Saudi Arabia. In Ezekiel 34 God said 18 times that He would give the Jews this land in the Last Days. Deuteronomy 30 is a record of the Land Covenant God made with the Jewish people.

Tens of thousands of Jews in Hevron reading Genesis 23 is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Spain, France, and Italy say peace between Israel and the Palestinians means peace on the international scene

Spain's Prime Minister (PM) says his country will sponsor a new Middle East peace initiative along with France and Italy stressing that the international community cannot remain idle as violence rages between Israel and the Palestinians.

Stating that world leaders cannot remain impassive in the face of the horror that continues to unfold, the Spanish PM said that peace between Israel and the Palestinians means to a large extent, peace on the international scene. Europeans are looking for a greater voice in world affairs particularly after midterm US elections and what they view as voters punishing President Bush.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As European leaders vie for a greater voice in world affairs and offer a new peace initiative for the Middle East, they move closer to the scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The European Union (EU) has made great headway in its efforts to have a greater voice in world affairs, and in particular in the Middle East when the United Nations (UN) gave the leadership role for the peace keeping forces in Southern Lebanon to the EU. Now there is talk among member states of the EU to lead a peace keeping force in the Gaza Strip. Couple these realities with the new Middle East peace initiative put forward by Spain, France, and Italy and one can see the EU asserting its influence in the Middle East, which they say will have international repercussions.

This report brings into focus a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy that foretold the European impact on world events during the End Times. Daniel, the prophet and John the apostle both ancient Jewish prophets reveal this scenario for the Last Days. Daniel 7 is the unfolding of the Gentile world powers from the Babylonian Empire to the period of the revived Roman Empire, the major player in the Last Days.

John, the writer of Revelation, in chapter 13 unfolds this same scenario for the revived Roman Empire, most likely the EU today, a scenario where the revived Roman Empire will work for peace in the Middle East as Spain, France, and Italy envision.

Iranian newspapers claim the 'great war' to wipe out Israel is coming

Iranian newspapers have urged Muslims around the world to prepare for a 'great war' to destroy the state of Israel stating that Hezbollah destroyed at least half of Israel in the Lebanon war and now only half the path to its destruction remains.

The Iranian newspaper editorials said that in the 33-day war more than 50% of Israel was destroyed and it is likely that in the next battle, the second half will collapse. The editorials stated that the 'great war' is ahead of us and will break out perhaps tomorrow, or in another few days, or in a few months, or even in a few years. According to the Ayatollah Khomeini, 'Israel must collapse'.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The editorials in Iranian newspapers are indeed correct, a great war is coming to Israel and it could be very soon according to Bible prophecy.

The latest radical rhetoric coming from Iran in the form of newspaper editorials is calling for Muslims around the world to join together to prepare for the 'great war' to destroy Israel. The time frame for this war according to the editorials could be within several days and not any longer than within a few years. The papers' aim to incite the Muslim world with the exhortation to prepare for the 'great war' to completely wipe out Israel and remove this cancerous growth.

Interestingly, these editorials are in line with the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Ezekiel 38 lists the nations who will come against Israel, all Islamic and including Iran.
Daniel 11 also mentions the same nations, but includes other Muslim nations, as does Psalm 83. Joel 2:3 states that a massive militia will come against Israel at the beginning of the seven year long Tribulation Period.

The truth is that the Muslim world today is the only one who put together this mighty army to fulfill this ancient prophecy.

Former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Iranian President Ahmadinejad is preparing another Holocaust

Speaking at a General Assembly of United Jewish Communities in Los Angeles, Benjamin Netanyahu urged the world to stop Iranian President Ahmadinejad who is preparing another Holocaust as the Islamic republic is racing to arm itself with nuclear weapons.

Speaking on Israeli army radio, Netanyahu said that Israel possesses the military capabilities necessary for curbing by itself the Iranian nuclear threat, declining to specify what this entails.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning by former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that Iranian President Ahmadinejad is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish people is in perfect alignment with Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

With the continuing radical rhetoric of Iranian President Ahmadinejad focused on the Jewish state of Israel, the world is witnessing the buildup to what Benjamin Netanyahu calls another Holocaust. In his recent speech, the former Israeli PM said that it's 1938 and Iran is Germany. Netanyahu said that the world must believe Ahmadinejad and stop him, everything else pales before this.

Netanyahu's warning is valid in light of the prophetic scenario for the Last Days that can be found in Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophets, Ezekiel and Zechariah both speak to this issue. Ezekiel names Iran, the Persia of Ezekiel 38:5, as a key player in the alignment of nations to come against the Jewish state at the time of the End. Zechariah refers to a period of time yet in the future when two out of every three Jews will be killed, that's Zechariah 13:8. The Tribulation, that period of time coming, is also described in the book of Revelation as a time when many Jews will die, that's Revelation 12:13-17.

Benjamin Netanyahu's warning that Ahmadinejad is preparing for another Holocaust is correct biblically.

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.

An Israeli official says the IDF must be ready to stop Iran at any cost

The newly installed Deputy Minister of Defense in Israel, Ephraim Sneh, believes that sanctions against Iran are unlikely to work; therefore, Israel must be ready to stop Iran's drive for a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD).

The Deputy Defense Minister, a former Israeli Defense Force (IDF) brigadier-general described as untenable the scenario of Israel living under a dark cloud of fear from a leader, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who is committed to Israel's destruction.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The dramatic statement by Israel's deputy defense minister that they must stop Iran at any cost is a scenario found in Bible prophecy for the End Times.

The radical rhetoric from Iran's President Ahmadinejad over the last two years has confirmed the Israeli assessment that Iran is today the major threat to the Jewish state. Iranian President Ahmadinejad's declaration that the Holocaust never happened and his proclamation to the Islamic world that they must rise up and remove Israel from this world and forget their name forever has incited the radical Islamic street to fulfill these pronouncements.

As world leaders grapple with how to deal with the potential for this Islamic republic to have a Nuclear WMD, Israel sits on the sideline in fear that a nuclear-powered Iran would follow through on its threats to destroy the Jewish state. This report and the statement by Deputy Defense Minister Sneh fits the scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel spoke of Iran as a major player in the Last Days who will attack the Jewish state, that's Ezekiel 38:5 where Persia is used as the biblical name for the modern-day state of Iran. The Psalmist in Psalm 83 reveals that Iran will be joined by Syria, Assur in Psalm 83:8, and Lebanon, Tyre in Psalm 83:7, to cut Israel off from being a nation, Psalm 83:4.

Israel's concerns about Iran's threat are well founded.

The Sanhedrin issues an edict against the Gay Pride Parade scheduled for Jerusalem

A panel of very prestigious rabbis in Israel who have reformed the Sanhedrin - a supreme religious judicial body - has issued an edict against the planned Gay Pride Parade scheduled to have taken place in Jerusalem an event that has already caused widespread protest by the religious Jewish community and even some Islamic clerics have voiced opposition to the parade.

The edict, signed by three members of the Sanhedrin, said that those who revere the Word of the Lord will not allow for this event to happen and if they do, their transgression is great and will be judged by the heavenly throne.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The fact that the newly reformed supreme religious judicial body known as the Sanhedrin issued an edict against the proposed Gay Pride Parade is evidence that the End Times are closer than ever before, that is according to Bible prophecy.

For some time, religious Jews in Israel have been protesting the proposed Gay Pride Parade with widespread demonstrations in an effort to keep the parade from proceeding in Jerusalem. Calling such an event in the holy city of Jerusalem an abomination, the leaders of the religious Jewish community promised a major counter demonstration accompanied by violence if the parade was allowed to take place. The language of the Sanhedrin's ruling sounds remarkably similar to those rulings of 2,000 years ago when the Sanhedrin was the highest court in the Jewish world. In the fall of 2004, the Sanhedrin reformed after 1,400 years and now reside in Jerusalem where they believe they will play a major role in the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and the election of the high priest to serve in that coming Temple.

Bible prophecy agrees that in the Last Days there will once again be on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem a Jewish Temple, that's found in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1-2.

This edict issued by the Sanhedrin is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israeli media source: Americans are no longer willing to pay the price of war

On the hills of an overwhelming victory for Democrats in the American elections, an Israeli media source reported the Israeli perspective that Americans have reached the conclusion they are no longer willing to pay the price for war.

Democrats captured more than enough congressional seats to seize control of the House and Israeli sources see the US electorate repudiating the Bush administration's handling of the uncompromising war against terrorists centered in Iraq. Those Arab and Islamic terrorist organizations around the world who endorsed the Democrats are pleased to see one country after another signaling the Arab-Muslim world that terror does pay big time.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

There are those who see the US election results as a call for a different Middle Eastern policy, a policy that could leave Israel standing alone against the Islamic terrorists of our world. True or false, this is a scenario that will come about in the future, according to Bible prophecy.

The citizens of the US handed the Bush administration and its Middle East policies a clear message: "This is not the direction we want to go." The US electorate, or at least the majority of them lined up with the Islamic terrorists that endorsed the Democrats for the 2006 election, or at least that's what the terrorists now believe. The Islamic terrorist organizations see more and more peoples and nations around the world caving in and leaning towards a policy of appeasement to protect themselves and their security and national interest from the threat of Islamic and Arab terrorism. The bottom-line is that Israel will soon be abandoned to fight global terrorism by itself, a scenario that fits Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The ancient Jewish prophets: Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and even the Psalmist reveal a time in history when the enemies of Israel will rise up to destroy the Jewish state.

Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, Jeremiah 45-51, and Psalm 83 list the nations that will align themselves against Israel.

Middle Eastern terror groups call for a change in the Bush government as Americans go to the polls

For the last several weeks, the leaders of the radical Islamic terror groups in the Middle East have called for Americans to bring about a change in the present Bush government, believing such a change would see a dramatic change in US-Middle Eastern policy.

Islamic leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the insurgency in Iraq see an opportunity for a new US government to pull back from its plans to implement democracy in the Middle East and a reduction of its efforts to win the war on terrorism. These radical Islamic leaders see the unpopularity of President Bush and his Middle Eastern policies the key to their foreign policy changes that will open a door for their resistance to make headway in the short-term not only in the Middle East, but around the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As American go to the polls, the reality of human government as a major player in the End Times comes better into focus as revealed in Bible prophecy.

The God-given responsibility of casting your vote and electing the human leaders of your nation will be center stage around the world as Americans exercise that fundamental right. The heated debates along the campaign trail have excited an electorate that will make its wishes known to the Bush administration in the voting booth.

The US elections are a tangible proof of God's plan down through history and His plan for the future. It was God who established the institution of human government, Genesis 9:6 and the One who puts those in charge in their positions of leadership, that's Romans 13:1. God has used human government to fulfill His will in the past, and will do so in the future, Revelation 17:17.

In fact, it is the misuse of human government that will bring about the End Times and the return of Jesus Christ, as revealed in Revelation 18 where we have the prophetic scenario of a one-world economic, governmental, political system under the Devil's control and headquartered in Iraq, that is the end game for this world.

Baghdad remains under tight security after Saddam Hussein was found guilty and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity

An Iraqi court found Saddam Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity for the slaughter of Shiite Muslims and the former Iraqi leader was sentenced to death by hanging.

To counter the possible outbreak of violence, Iraqi officials implemented a curfew on Baghdad that has resulted in a tense calm with streets of the city deserted despite fears that a guilty verdict could fuel sectarian violence. The mandatory appeals process for Saddam is expected to take only a few weeks and if the sentence is upheld, execution of Saddam must be carried out within 30 days of the decision.

The guilty verdict of Saddam Hussein and the sentence of death by hanging of the former Iraqi leader is a page out of Bible prophecy for the End Times.

Over the last year the trial of Saddam Hussein has been watched by the world and has been somewhat of a drama being played out on a public stage. The precedings of the Iraqi High Court have been focused on only one of many crimes against humanity during Saddam's reign as the dictatorial leader of the Iraqi peoples made up of the Sunni and Shiite Muslims and the Kurds. The truth is, the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of Kurds, the more horrific crimes against humanity, crimes that are now being judged by Iraqi courts.

This report is evidence that Bible prophecy is coming better into focus day by day. Jesus in His Olivet Discourse recorded in Matthew 24, warned that He would come back when the world would be as it was in the days of Noah, that's Matthew24:37. Those days of Noah after the Flood, 350 years of days in those days, the world was focused on the area where Noah and in fact the entire population of the world were living; they were living in Babylon, a city built by Noah's great grandson, Nimrod, that's Genesis 11:4.

Babylon in biblical times is today modern-day Iraq, which indeed was the focus of the world in Noah's day as it is today.

Scientists call for "Evidence-Based" teaching of evolution in schools

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.

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.

The book of Genesis is being read in synagogues in Israel and aound the world to confirm the Jewish claim for the land of Israel

At this time of the year, synagogues around the world are reading the biblical book of Genesis in an act of confirmation for Jewish claims on the land that they say God promised to the Jewish people through the Jewish patriarch, Abraham and passed down through Isaac and Jacob to the Jews today.

Genesis 12-17 will be read aloud in the synagogues detailing the divinely commanded journeys of the patriarch, Abraham from his father's house in Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq, to the land of Israel. The Torah portion found in Genesis 23 detailing the purchase of the Machpelah Cave in Hevron will also be read as thousands of Jews follow tradition by flocking to Hevron for the occasion.

As Jewish worshipers around the world read the biblical book of Genesis in their synagogues, they confirm the Jewish claim for the land of Israel today which is also confirmed in Bible prophecy.

Every year religious Jews read through the Torah - the first five books of the Old Testament - and have done so as long as they have had their Holy Scriptures. In the fall of the year, the reading will be done in the book of Genesis, as they start the reading cycle over again at the first of the Jewish year.

The biblical account found in Genesis 12-17 reveals the Jewish patriarch, Abraham's journey from his home in Ur of the Chaldees, along the Euphrates River, up over the Fertile Crescent, and down into what was then called Canaan, today called Israel. In Genesis 15, God made a promise to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and Jacob - the line of promise - that all the land Abraham could see would be his and his descendants forever. A close look at Genesis 15 and all the other 38 passages of scripture describing the land God promises to the Jews is 10 times what they have today and includes: half of Egypt, all of Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, three quarters of Iraq, and three quarters of Saudi Arabia.

The reading of Genesis and the prophetic passages of the Bible in Jewish synagogues will indeed confirm that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Despite a signed peace treaty, Egypt considers Israel an enemy state

Even though it's been 27 years since Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty - the Camp David Accords - the vast majority of Egyptians still see Israel as an enemy state.

The poll - made public recently - shows that 92% of those Egyptians responding to the poll conducted by an Egyptian state institute sees Israel as an enemy despite the lasting peace agreement between the two countries signed back in 1978. That same poll showed which countries have been crowned as friends of Egypt, a list that includes: Saudi Arabia, Libya, the Palestinian Authority (PA), Sudan, and Syria.

A 27-year old peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that is not working actually sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

In September of 1978, then US President Jimmy Carter brokered a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, two nations that had been mortal enemies for a number of years. The Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli PM Menachem Begin met with Jimmy Carter at the US Presidential Retreat in Camp David, Maryland and agreed to sign the first-ever peace treaty between Israel and any of her enemies. Hailed as a major breakthrough in efforts to bring peace to the Middle East, this treaty - the Camp David Accords - has not been able to bring about that long sought after peace. This recent poll that shows 92% of the Egyptians consider Israel an enemy state is evidence that though there is a peace treaty on the table between Israel and Egypt, it is not working. This then sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of a time when there would be a peace treaty on the table not working, that's found in Daniel 9:27. This prophetic text says that the Antichrist will not sign but confirm a peace treaty, one that is not working. The Hebrew word for confirm found in the text is, "Gabar"which does indeed mean confirm and not sign.

A peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that is not working does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
