Plans for the EU's 50th birthday party in 2007 focused on the organization's disunity

The European Union (EU) has ditched plans to hold big-style celebrations for its 50th birthday party next year and will have two limited pan-European festivals for 2007 according to officials from member states, the European Commission, and the European Parliament.

This European celebration will mark the 50th celebration of the signing of the 1957 Treaty Rome which is the basis of the EU of today, an organization of 25 member states who are at a place where the member states need to ratify their proposed constitution in order to move ahead. The fragmented EU birthday picture is evident as member states stress that participation in the year long birthday party should not be compulsory.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Even though the 50th birthday celebration for the EU is somewhat fragmented, there will be a unity of European states in the future, according to Bible prophecy.

The announcement by officials of the EU member states, the European Commission, and the European Parliament that they plan to cut back on the year long celebration of their 50th anniversary brings into focus the disunity that pervades the organization. The efforts to ratify a constitution fell apart when France and the Netherlands rejected the present constitution. Germany who will hold the presidency of the EU in 2007, the year of the 50th birthday of the organization, has already announced its priority would be to get the ratification process back on track. However, the fact that Europeans will recognize the 50th birthday celebration even as fragmented as it will be, is evidence that there is hope for a revival of the great days of European unity once seen in our world during the times of the Roman Empire.

Bible prophecy reveals that an End Times scenario includes the emergence of an old or revived Roman Empire. Daniel 7 lays out in advance the great Gentile world powers including: the Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, the Grecian, and the Roman Empires which have already come and gone as Daniel predicted. Daniel also spoke of the revival of the Roman Empire in the Last Days, that's Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24.

The 50th anniversary celebration in Europe of the signing of the Treaty of Rome to take place in 2007 is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The annual Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj, begins as sectarian tensions increase across the Islamic world

Over 3 million Muslims from around the world marched through the desert valley outside of Mecca in Saudi Arabia on the first day of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.

With the sectarian viloence across the Islamic world, the bloodshed in Iraq, the potential war in the Palestinian territories, and a new war in Somoalia, tensions have increased between the two main sects of Islam, the Sunnis and the Shiites. Saudi Arabia's interior minister declared ahead of the rituals that his country would not allow for sectarian violence from any party during the Hajj season.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As millions of Muslims from around the world make their annual pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the prophetic scenario of the prophet, Joel comes better into focus.

One of the pillars of Islamic faith is to make the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, at least once in the lifetime of a Muslim if they are physically able. This year, sectarian tensions are so intense that the scene of the Hajj, Mecca in Saudi Arabia, is on high alert. Warned before hand by the Saudi officilas that any violence would not be tolerated, there is a calm among the Muslims that have arrived for the ritual, over threemillion Muslims from across the Islamic world. As any casual observer can see in our world today, Islam is at an all time high in visibility in world affairs; the Hajj only punctuates this fact.

The ancient Jewish prophets, though not mentioning Muslims by name, did refer to their present-day nations and the war-like scenario that is prevalent in the Islamic world today. In particular, Joel wrote 2,500 years ago of a mighty militia that would come together to attack the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish people, that's Joel 2:2-3. Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 list the Muslim nations that will be included in this attack. This Islamic violence and prominence in our world today should be of no surprise since the Lord Himself told Hagar, the mother of Ishmael - who would be the father of Islam today - that her son would be violent, raising his hand against every man, that's Genesis 16:11-12.

Indeed Bible prophecy will 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 archaeologist 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.

Palestinians are warning Israelis to evacuate their homes before they start shooting missiles at their towns

Israelis living in communities along Israel's Mediterranean coast: places like Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Kiryat Gat, all Israeli towns and not any way connected to Jewish settlements, these Israeli Jews have been told to evacuate their homes before the Palestinian start to launch missiles at them.

The warning came in the form of leaflets, supposedly published by the Palestinian terror group Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, and declared that in light of the cease fire and after the huge success in expelling the Zionist settlers in the Gaza Strip, that they will soon start shooting missiles at Ashkelon, Ashdod, and other Jewish communities. The leaflet stated that they did not want to hurt the children, but will do so in order to free the occupied lands and to end the continued suffering that the Zionist occupation has caused the Palestinian children of the refugee camps.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning from Palestinian terror groups to Israelis that they must evacuate their homes and communities or suffer missile attacks is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

It was just over a year ago when Israeli Jewish settlers were forced to give up their homes and businesses, separate their families, and evacuate their land to the Palestinians with the Sharon disengagement of the Gaza Strip. Now, comes the warning that the Israeli land just to the North of the Gaza Strip is wanted by the Palestinians and the Palestinian terror groups are prepared to kill women, children, and the elderly, the defenseless ones, to take the land of the Jewish people, land that the Palestinians claim is their land. The Palestinian printed warning distributed among the Jews states that the Jewish people must evacuate the land or face the consequences.

This is a page right out of the prophecy of the ancient Jewish prophet, Ezekiel, found in chapter 35. Twenty-five hundred years ago, Ezekiel wrote that the Edomites, the modern-day Palestinians, would kill the Jewish people, that's Ezekiel 35:5, and take the land that God had given to the Jewish people, Ezekiel 35:10-13. Ezekiel 36:5 states that the Palestinians will do this with the joy of all of their heart and despiteful minds.

The warning from the Palestinian terror groups to the Jewish residence of Ashdod and Ashkelon to leave their land or be attacked is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy, a page that will be fulfilled.

There's been a miraculous mysterious birth reported to have taken place in a shepherd's field near Bethlehem in Israel

We have a report of a birth taking place in an open field near the little Arab village of Bethlehem. The shepherds are reporting they have found the newborn babe with His parents; the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, a food trough for the animals.

There are also reports that last night, their were Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) in the skies over and around Bethlehem. Some of the shepherds are saying that the UFOs were actually angels and this host of angels were actually singing joyful songs of the long awaited Jewish Messiah. There are unconfirmed reports that this little baby is the One that has been spoken of by the ancient Jewish prophets for hundreds of years, the one to be born in Bethlehem and to become the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the Son of God.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The birth of Jesus Christ fulfilled all the prophecies in the Bible for the presence of God with us - Emmanuel - and it does actually set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For over 2,000 years the story of the birth of Christ - which is recorded in four chapters of the Bible Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2, actually only 168 verses - has been responsible for authors writing so many books that one library could not contain all of the volumes. The composers have penned the music and lyrics for musical manuscripts with Jesus Christ as the theme of these musical numbers, the most used theme in all of music history.

Though Jesus never traveled more than 100 miles from His hometown, men and women have traveled to the far reaches of this earth to tell others the story of this man, the God-man born 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. It is interesting to note that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, started in a cradle, a manger, He carried His cross to where they would crucify Him, but death could not keep Him, He arose from the dead 3 days later. As He left this world to go back to Heaven, He promised that He would come again to earth, this time wearing a crown.

This God-man, Emmanuel - God with us - came by way of the cradle to the cross and soon He will come wearing a crown; Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who has and will fulfill Bible prophecy.

Syria is building death trap villages along the Israeli-Syrian border in preparation for war

A high ranking officer in Israel's Northern command says that villages recently built by Syria along the Israeli-Syrian border are planning to be used as death traps for Israeli Defense Force (IDF) troops in a Hezbollah inspired attack on Israel.

IDF intelligence says the idea is to draw Israel into a war like the warfare the IDF encounters in combat against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as well as against Hezbollah in Lebanon, a guerrilla type warfare. Syria, since the Hezbollah-Israeli war ended, has transferred truckloads of weapons and missiles to Hezbollah allowing Hezbollah to be at full strength where is was before the war with Israel and now the Syrian military is preparing to replicate the Hezbollah war plan.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the Syrian military builds death traps along the Israeli- Syrian border and prepares their troops in guerrilla warfare, the Middle East moves closer to a scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

After Hezbollah claimed victory over the mighty Israeli military this last summer, Syrian President Bashar Assad agreed with Sheikh Mashallah, a leader of Hezbollah, that the Israeli military had suffered a defeat in Southern Lebanon. Syria seemed to have learned some lessons from the Hezbollah victory: first, that 4,000 rockets can paralyze Israel's home front, secondly, that antitank missiles can penetrate Israeli tanks, and thirdly, that Israel's mighty air force is limited against villages and cities and the IDF ground troops can be defeated. These lessons learned by Syria have encouraged them to prepare for a guerrilla type warfare as they approach an anticipated Syrian attack on Israel.

This scenario is a close fit to the prophetic scenario found in Bible prophecy for Syria and Israel in the Last Days. Daniel received a prophecy 2,500 years ago that is actually a prewritten history of the days that we're living in now. Daniel 11:40-43 reveals that the king of the North, a biblical term for modern-day Syria, would be the first nation to move against the Jewish state of Israel.

Syria's building of death traps along the Israeli-Syrian border and training their military for guerrilla warfare is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Somalia is in a state of war with Ethiopia

Heavy fighting in Southern Somalia between Somalia and Ethiopia has caused fears the conflict could plunge the entire Horne of Africa into a crisis and the leader of the Islamic courts in Somalia calling for all Somalis to take part in this struggle against Ethiopia.

The two countries have a long history of troubled relations and Islamists have long called for a holy war against Ethiopian troops while at this time Ethiopia denies that its forces are battling the Islamic militants. An internal conflict has been intensifying in Somalia between the forces of the interim government and the Islamists with the Islamists' leaders claiming Ethiopian forces have entered Somalia causing the Islamists to declare war against Ethiopia.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Horne of Africa and in fact much of the continent of Africa is at the boiling point with the potential for a fledged war to breakout everywhere which is a precursor to the scenario found in Bible prophecy for this region of the world in the Last Days.

Throughout the continent of Africa, there are wars or conflicts that could quickly become full fledged wars in what is a very troubled land. The catastrophe in Darfur in the Sudan is a glaring example of one such conflict where thousands have already been killed and with the threat of the situation only getting worse. This declaration of war from the Islamists in Somalia against the Ethiopians which could draw the entire Horne of Africa into the conflict is only the latest into what African leaders fear could plunge the entire continent into war.

This report of these current conflicts is indeed a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Jesus in His discourse given on the Mount of Olives, the week of His crucifixion, told His disciples that one sign for the Jewish people of the coming of the Messiah, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, would be wars and rumors of wars, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, that's recorded in Matthew 24:6-7. Ezekiel, 500 years before Jesus Christ, wrote in his prophecy that Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan would be players in a war against Israel in the Last Days, that's Ezekiel 38:5.

Somalia at war with Ethiopia is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Iran is now a nuclear power

Iranian President Ahmadinejad has declared that Iran is now a nuclear power and he claimed that Iran had reached that zenith with access to the nuclear fuel cycle because of the hard work of the Iranian people, their scientists, and authorities.

The announcement of Iran as a nuclear power is bound to significantly escalate tensions between the West and Iran and marks a dramatic stage in the Islamic Republic's nuclear campaign. In recent days, the US military has begun to build up forces around the Persian Gulf in what is seen as a warning to Iran.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The announcement by Iranian President Ahmadinejad that they are now a nuclear power is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days in the Middle East region.

For a number of years, the Iranians have been developing their nuclear program with the goal of producing a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction. This with the transfer of nuclear technology and technicians from Russia to Iran. Now, comes the announcement that Iran is a nuclear power; this declaration actually coming prior to what had been predicted by European, US, and Israeli intelligence. What has been feared by Israel, a nuclear-powered Iran, is now a reality, a reality that causes concern not only to Israel but to the European Union, the US and even the Arab states of the Middle East as well.

Anyone who would have read through the pages of Bible prophecy would have known that this would come about sooner rather than later. The ancient Jewish prophets Ezekiel and Jeremiah and even the Psalmist revealed in prewritten history that Iran, biblical Persia, would be a major power in the world at the time of the end, that's Ezekiel 38:5, Jeremiah 49:34-39, and Psalm 83.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad with a nuclear arsenal positions Iran to play the role called for by Bible prophecy.

President Bush overrides the congressional decision to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

The US Congress enacted legislation in 1995 calling for America to move its embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, but once again a US president, this time George W. Bush, has postponed the move for another six months citing national security interest for this presidential decision.

Israel captured the eastern section of Jerusalem, reunited the city in the 1967 Six Day War, and annexed it in a move not recognized internationally.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The decision by US President George W. Bush to not move the American embassy to Jerusalem is significant for Jerusalem in light of Bible prophecy.

The Six Day War in 1967 saw Israel reunite the city of Jerusalem after almost 2,000 years and secure its sovereignty over this very historic city. Every Prime Minister (PM) of Israel from the very first one, David Ben Gurion, has proclaimed Jerusalem as the undivided, eternal capital of the Jewish people. With the US congressional decision in 1995 to move America's embassy to Jerusalem, Israel's capital city, a major controversy among the Arab nations developed that has kept all US presidents since 1995 from allowing the move to take place. This most recent delay by President Bush to move the US embassy to Jerusalem is a factor in the End Times scenario for the Holy city of Jerusalem.

The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote that Jerusalem would be both intoxicating and a heavy burden in the Last Days, that's Zechariah 12:2-3. The Muslim world and in particular, the Palestinians are intoxicated with the power they have over the central focus of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, as evidenced by the gold domed Dome of the Rock over the site of the Jewish temples. The former Israeli PM Sharon could testify to the heavy burden that Jerusalem was to him and now to George W. Bush to some extent.

Jeremiah 31:38-40, Ezekiel 37:26-28, and Isaiah 65:19 among other passages reveal the prominence of Jerusalem for the Jewish people in the future.

A Saudi study recently revealed says there is an Iranian Shiite state within the state of Iraq

A security report commissioned by the Saudi government reveals that Iran has effectively created a Shiite state within a state in Iraq providing both logistical support of armed militia groups and funding for social programs.

The 40 page report says that Iranian military forces are providing Shiite militias with weapons and training and that Tehran is actively supporting pro-Iranian politicians like Muqtada al Sadr, the radical Islamic cleric who heads up the Mahdi Army, the largest of the Iraqi militias.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning from Saudi Arabia of a Shiite state within the state of Iraq is evidence that Bible prophecy is getting closer to being fulfilled.

Recently, Saudi Arabia warned the US that if they pulled out of Iraq and left a vacuum of restraint, the Saudis would rush to the support of the minority Sunnis in Iraq. Now, with the revealed report commissioned by Saudi Arabia on the Iraq end fighting between the Sunnis and the Shiites, the Saudis are more determined to sure up the Sunnis with whatever is needed to assure the Iraqi people they can resist an Iranian type Shiite-Islamic republic which would be a nation under the strict Islamic Sharia Law. This move by Saudi Arabia will only enhance the possibility for a sectarian civil war to be full blown in the near future in Iraq. This type of scenario would call for a strong leader to come to power in Iraq, somewhat of a benevolent dictator to bring stability to this war-torn country. That scenario is a page out of Bible prophecy.

Revelation 18 reveals that Iraq, which is biblical Babylon, will become the center of a one-world, economic, political, governmental system headed up by a dictator known in the Scriptures as Antichrist. According to Isaiah 13-14, the book of Jeremiah 50-51, and Revelation 16-18, Iraq does indeed have a future for the Last Days.

This recently revealed Saudi report does set the stage for these Bible prophecies to be fulfilled.

Jews in Israel and around the world mark the Jewish holy days of Chanukah a celebration of victory out of defeat

As Jews around the world light a candle on each of the eight days of Chanukah, they celebrate the great victory over Antiochus Epiphanes, the Greek ruler who desecrated the Jewish Temple only to be defeated by Jewish heroes three years later with the reconsecration of the Jewish Temple.

The Maccabees ran the Greek troops from Jerusalem, reconsecrated the Temple, and used a flask of olive oil found in the rubble of the Temple to light the menorah and restore the Temple practices some 2,300 years ago. That menorah stayed lit for eight days on one days supply of olive oil, and thus the lighting of the miniature menorahs in the homes of the Jewish people for the eight days of Chanukah will be celebrated by Jews around the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The celebration of Chanukah by Jews around the world remembers a Jewish victory over 2,000 years ago, but also looks to a time of trouble for the Jews in the future, that is according to Bible prophecy.

As Jews around the world light one candle per night for the eight day celebration of Chanukah, they remember the abomination of desolation, the desecration of the Temple in Jerusalem, with the cleansing of the Temple, the lighting of the menorah, and the miracle of the menorah burning for eight days on one day's supply of oil would become the origins for the Jewish Holy day of Chanukah. This focus on Chanukah is only a reminder of a future event that will replicate the events that surrounded the origins of Chanukah. Antiochus Epiphanes desecrated the Jewish Temple by slaughtering a pig on the altar of the Temple and it was called the abomination of desolation.

Bible prophecy speaks of another such event to happen at the Jewish Temple when it stands on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem once again; an event prophesied to be performed by the Antichrist at the midway point of the seven year Tribulation in the future. These prophecies presuppose that there will be a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and indeed all preparations have been made for that Temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem at any time now.

The celebration of Chanukah is indeed proof that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A severe space storm is headed towards the earth

Weather predictions for storminess have been revised by space weather forecasters after a major flare erupted on the Sun which has caused a threat of damage to communication systems and power grids while at the same time offering up the wonder of Northern Lights.

The lead forecaster at the Space Environment Center said there would be very strong geomagnetic storming and radio communications, satellites, and even power grids could face an eruption or damage. Solar flares send radiation to earth with some flares accompanied by clouds of charged particles that arrive within a day or two, and the present solar flare being watched is aimed squarely at the earth.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A severe space storm aimed squarely at earth today is a precursor to additional space storms that will indeed hit the earth in the future, that is according to Bible prophecy.

The potential for damage and at least interruption to radio communications, satellite systems, and power grids around the earth is very great according to space weather forecasters. These solar flares, predicted to be headed squarely toward the earth, even motivated the astronauts on the space station to move to protected areas within the space station itself. Now that this solar flare, or sun spot as some refer to it, has flared so significantly the forecast calls for a reasonable chance of more major flares in coming days. These severe space storms are an indication that there is a potential for the space storms predicted in the pages of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, the writer - John the Apostle - forecasts a number of severe storms in the future. In Revelation 6:12-13 John wrote of dramatic events related to the sun and the moon. In Revelation 8:7-11 there is a forecast of numerous items from the heavens hitting the earth. Jesus Himself wrote of heavenly disturbances at the time of His return to the earth, that's found in Matthew 24:27-29.

The warnings of severe space storms today do indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled in a near future.

Kofi Annan calls for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be settled once and for all

Kofi Annan, the outgoing Chief of the United Nations (UN), told the Security Council that the festering Israeli-Palestinian conflict must be settled once and for all warning that the opportunity for negotiating a two-state solution will only last so long.

Annan pleaded for a new and urgent push for peace, stating that tensions in the region are near the breaking point. The UN leader stressed the need to find new ways for settling final status issues such as the return of Palestinian refugees and the fate of Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The urgent call for peace in the Middle East by the leader of the UN, an international, political, governmental agency, is a precursor to the End Times scenario for this region of the world that can be found in Bible prophecy.

In his last days as the Secretary General of the UN, Kofi Annan actually pleaded with the Security Council to push for peace in the Middle East, a region of the world where tensions are increasing on a daily basis. Annan, in his address to the UN Security Council, stated that the time is short and that the region is about to explode into a very dangerous conflict. Annan's warning of how short the time was for a possible peace in the region to be in place is actually setting the stage for the scenario found in Bible prophecy to play out.

Twenty-five hundred years ago a Jewish prophet prewrote history, a history that seems to be unfolding in our day. Daniel, that ancient Jewish prophet, wrote of a world leader coming to power over an international, one-world, governmental, political system that would actually bring peace to the Middle East region, at least temporarily, that's Daniel 9:27. This passage of scripture tells us that the peace, which at first is for seven years, will be broken and then all chaos will break out.

This peace will be between Israel and its Middle East neighbors. The peacemaker is not Kofi Annan but in fact will be the Antichrist, and the stage is set for this Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

At the Iranian Holocaust conference an Orthodox Jewish rabbi calls for Israel to be totally dissolved

A handful of Orthodox Jewish rabbis attended Iran's controversial conference questioning the Nazi genocide of the Jews, not because they deny the Holocaust, but because they object to using it as justification for the existence of the Jewish state of Israel.

These rabbis, members of a group called Guardians of the City, view Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish national home or state, as a poison that's a threat to true Jews. This group of Orthodox Jews believe the very idea of an Israeli state goes against the Jewish religion and they say that the book of Jewish law, the Talmud, teaches that believers may not use human force to create a Jewish state before the coming of the Messiah.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Orthodox Jewish rabbis at the Iranian Holocaust conference calling for the Jewish state of Israel to be dissolved is in direct contradiction to Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The very controversial Holocaust conference hosted by Iran brought out yet a more controversial statement by Orthodox Jewish rabbis with the call for the present-day Jewish state of Israel to be dissolved. According to Bible prophecy, the truth of the matter is that both the Zionist and this fringe Orthodox Jewish group are each partially right.

The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that God would reach into the world, find the Jews where they had been scattered, gather them, and place them on the land that He had promised to give them, that's Ezekiel 34:11-31. Ezekiel reveals that these Jews would return in unbelief before the Messiah comes back to the earth, which Jews believe will be His first coming, that's Ezekiel 37:1-14. Zechariah says when the Messiah does come, He will come to Jerusalem where Jews are living at that time, that's Zechariah 14:1-5.

Orthodox Jewish rabbis at an Iranian Holocaust conference denying that there should be a Jewish state in the Middle East is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Iran holds a conference to examine whether the Holocaust actually happened

Over 60 researchers from some 30 countries attended a 2 day conference in Tehran, Iran to discuss questions about the Holocaust without taboos and as Iranian President Ahmadinejad who backed the event said, he questioned the scale of the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were supposedly killed.

President Ahmadinejad, who acknowledges the importance and the centrality of the Holocaust in shaping world policy, has called for Israel to be dismantled and has said on numerous occasions that Israel will disappear from the earth very soon.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Even as Iran gathered researchers from around the world to discuss the reality of a past Holocaust, the threat of a far worse Holocaust in the future is ever present, that is according to Bible prophecy.

For more than a year, Iranian President Ahmadinejad has publicly denied that there was ever a Holocaust that was responsible for killing 6 million Jews. That radical rhetoric finally resulted in a 2 day conference in Tehran for an open discussion by so-called scholars on the Holocaust, or should we say Holocaust deniers, they were to determine the extent of the Holocaust. The Holocaust has been a major factor in the events in history since the infamous destruction of one third of the Jewish people under Hitler's Nazi regime. Former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu believes that Iranian President Ahmadinejad is preparing for another Holocaust and must be stopped. Netanyahu is right about the event, but may not be right about the personality.

There is another Holocaust coming to the Jewish people, that is according to their ancient Jewish prophet, Zechariah. Zechariah says in Zechariah 13:8 that in the future time of Jacob's Trouble, the seven year Tribulation Period, two out of every three Jews will be killed and at present numbers, that would be 8 million Jews to be killed, the worst Holocaust ever to happen.

The conference on the Holocaust in Iran did indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Palestinian Authority PM Haniyeh says Hamas led government will never recognize Israel and will liberate Jerusalem

Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Haniyeh addressing thousands of Muslim prayer worshipers at Tehran University in Iran said that his Hamas led government would never recognize Israel and would continue to fight for the liberation of Jerusalem.

Haniyeh is in Iran for a 4 day visit which will include meetings with Iranian leaders including Iranian President Ahmadinejad who has called for Israel to be destroyed and the Ayatollah who is the head of the supreme council of Iran.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Prime Minister of the PA in Tehran, Iran to confirm that they will never recognize the Zionist state of Israel and will liberate Jerusalem using jihad is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

On his first trip abroad after becoming the prime minister of the PA, the Hamas leader Ishmail Haniyeh made a state visit to Israel's number one enemy, the nation of Iran led by the radical President Ahmadinejad. Haniyeh used the occasion to confirm that his Hamas led Palestinian government would never recognize Israel's right to be a state in the Middle East and that they will continue their jihad-like movement to liberate the city of Jerusalem and in fact the whole of the Zionist state.

As I give this report, I feel like I'm reading from the pages of Bible prophecy for the Last Days, instead of the latest Middle East news. Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, wrote some 2,500 years ago that Iran would be a major player in the last Days scenario for this region of the world, that's Ezekiel 38:5 where Iran is referred to as biblical Persia. Ezekiel also wrote of the Palestinians, the biblical Edomites from Mount Seir found in Ezekiel 35, who would rise up in the Last Days to destroy the Jews and their state and then take their land.

Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyeh's statement in Iran is indeed a page from Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Israeli PM Ehud Olmert rejects the Iraqi Study Group report over serious concerns for Israel's security

The recently released Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group report has caused much concern among Israeli officials and Israeli PM Olmert is in fact rejecting a portion of the report that would place Israel in harms way if recommendations are carried out by the US.

According to the prime minister's office and other Israeli security officials, the Iraqi Study Group report calls for Israel to offer the return of the Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for a comprehensive peace agreement between the two countries. Israeli officials are also concerned that the linkage the report makes between the Iraqi chaotic situation and Israeli-Palestinian conflict puts Israel in a vulnerable position in its ongoing efforts to establish a peaceful coexistence between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recently released report on the Middle East by the Iraqi Study Group basically is tangible evidence that the prophetic scenario for this region of the world is on track to be fulfilled in the near future, that is according to Bible prophecy.

The Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group report has revealed that there is a real problem in Iraq and in fact throughout the entire Middle East. According to Israeli officials, the report links the Iraq chaos to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and also calls for Israel to make peace with Syria by withdrawing from the Golan Heights. The scenario described in the report is a snapshot of the prophetic scenario that can be found in the pages of Bible prophecy.

Daniel, the ancient Jewish prophet, revealed that Syria would be the first Middle East nation to move against Israel in the Last Days, that's Daniel 11:40-41. Ezekiel 35, Malachi 1, and Obadiah are prophetic passages that prewrite history, a history that will record the Palestinian aggression to take the land of the Jews and then kill the Jews.

The Iraqi Study Group report does indeed focus the world on the events that lead up to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The Presidency of the EU will publish its news reports in Latin

With the Presidency of the European Union (EU) passing to mild mannered Finland for the next six months, Finland's Prime Minister (PM) pledged an active EU presidency.

The Finnish PM described his country's pragmatic approach in a speech given to the EU parliament and he reiterated that tangible results should be Europe's goal. Stretching back to ancient times, the Finnish EU presidency will publish all EU news in Latin, the language of the old Roman Empire.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The EU presidency publishing their latest news reports in Latin, the language of the old Roman Empire, is evidence of the connection between the EU and the Roman Empire as it relates to Bible prophecy. In the last year the EU faced its biggest setback when two nations did not approve the EU constitution for ratification.

Austrianates strides forward in the moving of the 25 EU member states towards another opportunity for ratifying the constitution. And now, Finland, who presently holds the EU presidency wants to be more than a caretaker presidency. They want to provide an atmosphere for the EU members to see how they can and must work together for the better good of all the members.

The present-day link between the EU and the old Roman Empire, the Latin language news reports to be published by Finland, are evidence of progress in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of a revival of the Roman Empire in the Last Days when he referred to the ten horns of the awesome beast in Daniel 7:7 which actually was describing a revival of the Roman Empire as revealed in Daniel 7:23-25 and Revelation 17:3, 12. The EU may or may not be the fulfillment of these prophecies, but for sure it is the infrastructure for the revived Roman Empire.

Publishing European news in Latin, the language of the old Roman Empire, is evidence that Bible prophecy is coming closer to fulfillment.

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.

The German Chancellor says the EU needs a constitution that makes reference to Christianity and God

Following her recent audience with Pope Benedict, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the European Union needs a constitution that makes reference to Christianity and God.

Chancellor Merkel believes a redrafted treaty should include clear links to Europe's Christian heritage. Mrs. Merkel visited the Pope to discuss issues in European and international politics ahead of the Pope's visit to Germany.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An EU treaty, which is the constitution for the Union with references to its Christian heritage, is in line with the prophetic scenario in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The late Pope John Paul worked diligently to have the formers of the European constitution include references to Europe's Christian heritage and the role it played in forming the union of European states known as the EU. As the Eu considers how to tackle the deadlock after the treaty rejection by French and Dutch voters last year, Spain, Italy, Poland, and now Germany are strong supporters of a reference to God in a new EU charter. The German Chancellor says that Europe needs a European identity in the form of a constitutional treaty and it should be connected to Christianity and God since Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way. That is what will happen to bring together the European states and their formation of the EU. There will be a religious connection according to Bible prophecy.

John the Apostle prewrote history of the coming world-wide religion of the End Times as recorded in Revelation 17. This religion will be a mother-son cult that calls for co-equal worship of the Mother and the Son as was the case of the roots of this international religious system in Babylon 4,500 years ago.

With the fall of the Babylonian empire in 539 BC, the mother-son cult religion moved its headquarters to Pergamos before finally ending up in Rome, Italy which is exactly what Revelation 17:9 calls for in the Last Days.

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.
