Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas celebrates the establishment of a terrorist organization as he calls for Palestinian unity

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is urging Hamas Islamist to agree to early elections, give up control of the Gaza Strip and hold talks with his Fatah political party in a desire to bring about Palestinian unity as the Palestinian Authority President marks the founding of the terrorist organization, Fatah, founded some forty-three years ago by Yasser Arafat.

Under Yasser Arafat, Fatah led the the way over these last forty years in the armed struggle against what they call Israeli occupation and have been at the forefront of this conflict until Hamas became the prominent leader of this armed struggle.

With Hamas making what appears to be good progress in the establishment of a Palestinian state and developing relations with the Israelis the Palestinian Authority President wants to bring the Hamas faction into the mix as they move towards what they hope will be the final status talks with the Israelis.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A united Palestinian people with a focus on a united plan for dealing with the Israeli government is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

With his favored status among world leaders, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is now ready to unite the Palestinian people under one political flag. Winning favor with world leaders has been much easier than the task before the Palestinian leader as he moves to unite the political factions of the Palestinian people.

Nevertheless, Mahmoud Abbas believes that this is the time to bring about unity among the two main factions of the Palestinian body politic, Fatah and Hamas.

Whether Abbas will be successful in the short term is a question. However, there is no question that the Palestinians will unite in the long term with one goal, to wipe out the Jewish State of Israel.

Bible prophecy lays out this scenario for the last days with the predictions from a number of ancient Jewish prophets.

Ezekiel revealed that the struggle between the Israelis and the Palestinians would take place, that's found in Ezekiel 35. Malachi, in the first chapter of his prophecy, pre wrote history. He spoke of a plan by the Palestinians to return and rebuild.

Jeremiah and Obediah wrote over two thousand years ago of this struggle between the descendants of Esau, the Palestinian people; and the descendants of Jacob, the Jewish people. That's found in Jeremiah 49 and the entire book of Obediah. Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

US Presidential hopefuls have changed their focus towards the Middle East

With the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, the US presidential hopefuls, who are battling for political advantage in the nominating contest, have changed their focus overseas to the Middle East.

Domestic issues have dominated the campaign thus far, but the dastardly act in Pakistan has thrust foreign policy back onto the agenda and each candidate is vying for the spotlight to be able to explain his or her foreign policy experience or lack of experience with all candidates admitting Bhutto's assassination does change the complexion of the presidential nominating process. Polls indicate a tight race in both the Democratic and Republican party primaries or caucuses with all candidates recognizing that it is a tough world out there.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Politics, the mechanism that operates human government, has in the past, and will in the future, play a key role in the Last Days scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The events of history always play a role in the politics of any nation. This also is the case with the assassination of the Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. The Middle East will be impacted by this tragic event as well as the entire geopolitical world. It has already become evident that this tragedy in Pakistan has changed the agenda of the US presidential nominating process.

Revelation 17:7 sets in place a principle that indicates God does use human government and human leaders as well as the actors on the world stage for the End Time drama predicted in End Time prophecy. God established human government, Genesis 9:6, 4,500 years ago and has used the political to set the prophetic in motion for the End Times scenario that can be found in His Word.

The death of Benazir Bhutto and its aftermath is evidence that Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

Benazir Bhutto, a politcal leader in Pakistan, has been assassinated

As the former Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto concluded addressing a political rally in Pakistan, the leader of the opposition was shot in the neck by a gunman who then set off a bomb killing himself and a number of Bhutto supporters.

President Mushaaraf and his government have called on the Pakistani people to remain calm so that the terrorists can be defeated and order returned to the country. Bhutto had twice been the country's PM and had been campaigning ahead of the election due to be held in January. This was the second suicide attack against Ms. Bhutto in recent months and came amid a wave of bombings targeting security and government officials.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The assassination of a political leader in the only nuclear-powered Islamic state has significance geopolitically and prophetically according to Bible prophecy.

Under threat of assassination, Benazir Bhutto, former PM of Pakistan, was openly campaigning to return to power in a state that is violent due to the militant Islamic element in the country. Warned of the possibility of being killed, Bhutto went ahead in her effort to return to power and deal with the terrorists in her nation. The truth behind the assassination of Ms. Bhutto will ultimately come out but until then, chaos is the term best used to describe the situation in Pakistan. The Islamic militant element in Pakistan has been the major force behind the conflict and seems to be positioning itself in to take control of the nuclear facility of Pakistan, the only such nuclear WMD in the Islamic world.

This would empower the radical Islamic groups to facilitate the prophetic scenario that is found in Joel 2:2-3 which speaks of a mighty Moslem militia formed in the Last Days to attack Israel. The nations involved in that attack, listed in Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83, all are aligned under the Islamic banner.

Benazir Bhutto's assassination does indeed help to set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Controversy surrounds the arrival of 40 Iranian Jews at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel

A large crowd of reporters plus many happy relatives greeted about 40 Iranian Jews as they landed in Israel leaving behind their lives in the Islamic Republic of Iran for their new homes in the Jewish state.

No details about the route of exit from Iran were given except that they were sponsored by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, an organization founded by the Orthodox Rabbi Yehiel Eckstein who raises millions of dollars each year from the Evangelical Christian Community mostly in the US. Meanwhile, the top Iranian Jewish community leader has described this immigration of Iranian Jews as a misinformation campaign and insisted that Jews living in the Islamic Republic of Iran were not in danger under the hard line policies of President Ahmadinejad and his government.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Evangelical Christians that give millions of dollars to bring Jews from around the world to Israel may be preparing the way for Satan's impact on the world in the Last Days according to Bible prophecy.

The controversy surrounding the arrival of 40 new Iranian Jewish immigrants at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel has highlighted the Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Yehiel Eckstein's organization that has raised over 100 million dollars from Evangelical Christians to help hasten the Coming of the Messiah.

The recent arrival of 40 Iranian Jews sponsored by Eckstein's group has been referred to by the leader of the Iranian-Jewish Community as a misinformation campaign and eluded to the fact it could indeed be fraud. Though Bible prophecy does say that in the time before the Messiah, Jesus Christ, comes back, Jews from around the world will make their way to Israel, not one time does it say that giving money to bring them back will hasten the Lord's return. Satan's End Time plan of deception is to misdirect Christians from God's plan of winning Jewish people and Gentiles to Jesus Christ, Matthew 24:4, 5, 11, 24.

A deceitful rabbi raising millions of dollars from Christians to bring Jews to Israel is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy 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.

The Israeli Defense Force is pulling its soldiers out of the little town of Bethlehem

Over the weekend the Israeli Defense Force began scaling back it's operations in Bethlehem and the cities outlying areas as the arrival of more than 60 thousand Christian pilgrims began, which will actually double the population of the little town of Bethlehem.

As thousands of Christian pilgrims and tourist began crossing from Jerusalem into Bethlehem, the Israeli Defense Force pulled it's forces out of the city and suspended operations saying they wanted the pilgrims and the Palestinians to have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from the
holiday season.

Christians pilgrims from around the world will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas eve at the Church of Nativity in Manger Square and these festivities will be broadcast around the world from the little town of Bethlehem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Christmas Eve celebration in the little town of Bethlehem is evidence that Bible prophecy has been fulfilled and will be fulfilled in the future.

With the hustle and bustle of getting ready for Christmas, buying the gifts, the family coming to visit and, of course, the big Christmas dinner, often we forget about the real reason for the season.

The town fathers in the little town of Bethlehem both Christians and Moslems will be very busy on this Christmas Eve as the world watches on a special sattelite telecast from Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity. They will be watching the festive celebrarion of the birth of Jesus Christ.

The Bible reveals over three hundred prophecies of the first coming of Jesus Christ which were all fulfilled in absolute detail by the one who claimed to be the Son of God. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ did prove that the babe born in Bethlehem was who He said He was and will do what He said He will do. He will come back to earth once again.

Our world today seems to be ready to fulfill all of the prophecies of His Second Coming. And it could be today that Jesus Christ calls us to be with Him.

At Christmas time we look back to the birth of Jesus Christ but we must look forward to His coming. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The leader of the Church of England says the Story of the Nativity is a legend

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England, Dr. Rowan Williams has claimed that the Christmas story of the three wise men is nothing but a legend with little evidence that the Magi even existed and there was nothing to prove there were three of them or that they were kings.

The Archbishop stated that Matthew's gospel only reveals that the visitors to the newborn babe, Jesus, were wise men from the East and the account works quite well as legend, as does additional traditional thinking that Jesus was born in December because it fitted well with the Winter festival. The Church of England's leader argued that Christmas cards which showed the Virgin Mary cradling the baby Jesus flanked by shepherds was misleading and a part of the Nativity legend.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Archbishop of Canterbury who allegorizes the Christmas Story found in the Bible and calls it a legend is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The fact that the leader of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, can call the Gospel accounts of the Christmas Story a legend says that this major Church leader is willing to forsake the literal interpretation of the Bible accounts of the birth of Christ. In order to say that any part of the birth of Jesus found in Matthew 1 or 2 is a legend states the obvious, the method of interpretation used to come to those conclusions would be the allegorical method and subject to the interpreter's belief, not the Bible as the main source of information.

Though I agree we have no evidence that there were only three wise men, there may well have been three hundred, in any case it is not legend but fact that they came to see the newborn babe who was with His mother Mary, Matthew 2:11. A close study of the account of the priest Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist and when he served at the Temple as recorded in Luke 1 will give absolute evidence that Jesus was indeed born in December. There is a good chance that there might well have been snow, but that report comes from weather history and not a Biblical account. The danger with the claim by the Archbishop of Canterbury that the Story of the Nativity is legend is the method of his interpretation of Scripture, he rejects the literal interpretation of God's Word. This places in danger the literal truth that Jesus who came the first time as prophecy indicated He would, will literally come the second time as foretold by Bible prophecy.

The birth of Jesus Christ as foretold in God's Word is proof that Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

The Israeli government has allowed Hamas to broadcast incitement against the Jews from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem

Rabbi Chaim Richman, a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin and leader of the Temple Institute, claims that the Israeli government is responsible for allowing Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization, to broadcast live from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem while at the same time Jews and Christians were banned from the holy site.

Rami Kaoud, a manager of Hamas-al Aqsa Radio, said that broadcasting daily from the Temple Mount helps to bring al Aqsa to the Gaza Strip and to challenge the siege imposed on the Palestinian people by the Zionist state of Israel.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Live radio broadcast by the Palestinian terror group Hamas from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is evidence of the nearness of both the positive and negative scenarios that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

For a number of years, the PA has broadcast the Friday Moslem services from the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Now, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has been granted permission to broadcast live and daily to the Hamas followers in the Gaza Strip from the Temple Mount. In a joint statement by the New Jewish Congress, the different Jewish Temple Movements and the Sanhedrin, they claimed that the Israeli government has decided to give over the Temple Mount, the apple of the Jewish nation's eye, for the use of enemy incitement as Hamas calls for the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel.

There is a positive and negative aspect to this story as it relates to the prophetic scenarios that can be found in bible prophecy for the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophet Micah revealed that the Word of the Lord, Word from the Messiah, that will go forth from the House of the Lord, the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, in the future Kingdom Period, Micah 4:1-2. However, this story also reveals to us that the Palestinian people, people in Biblical times known as Edomites descendants of Esau, would call for the destruction of the Jewish state and the demise of the Jewish people in the Last Days, Ezekiel 35.

Live radio broadcasts by Hamas from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Time Magazine has named Russian President Vladimir Putin as the "Person of the Year"

Time Magazine says that Russian President Vladimir Putin was awarded as their "Person of the Year" because of his extraordinary feat of leadership in bringing stability to Russia and it was given as a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals shaping the world for better or for worse.

The Time Magazine award focused on President Putin's leadership in Russia over the last eight years which comes to an end early in 2008, but Putin is likely to become the Prime Minister if his ally wins the presidential election in March.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently named Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' has positioned him to be the prototype for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer in Russia, has come through the ranks and has led Russia back to what was its leadership role in the world during the days of the former Soviet Union. For that task, Time Magazine has named Vladimir Putin the "Person of the Year", even as tensions between Russia and the EU and the US have increased without any relief in sight. Both Russia and Putin have developed a very strong relationship with all Middle Eastern countries and in particular, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its radical Moslem leader President Ahmadinejad.

As we observe Vladimir Putin and his impact on Russia and the world from afar, we must recall the words of the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel who wrote 2,500 years ago of a personality and a place that would impact the End Times. The personality is Gog in Ezekiel 38:2 and the place is Magog in the same prophetic passage. I cannot say without reservations that Vladimir Putin is the Gog of this verse naming the leader of an alignment of nations against the Jewish state of Israel. What I can say is that Vladimir Putin, as Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" is indeed a perfect prototype for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Over two million Moslem pilgrims attack Mount Arafat

Moslem pilgrims, around two million of them from around the world representing 181 different countries, poured onto Mount Arafat East of Mecca to mark the climax of the annual Moslem hajj pilgrimage, the largest annual religious gathering in the world.

Many of the Moslem pilgrims spent the night on Mount Arafat, also known as the Mountain of Mercy, the location where the Islamic prophet Mohamed gave his sermon in the year of his death in 632 A.D., a place today where the faithful spend the day praying asking for Allah's forgiveness at the summit in a symbolic waiting for the last judgment. The journey to Mount Arafat is an essential part of the pilgrimage which is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith with every Moslem required to make the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, at least once in his or her lifetime.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As two million Moslems gather on Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia, just outside of Mecca, one has to be reminded of the key role that the Moslem world plays in the End times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The world's population of six billion people is today characterized as being somewhat religious with one-fifth of that population, numbering 1.2 billion people, embracing the Moslem religion of Islam. Though the word Moslem or Islam is not mentioned in the Bible, the nations that embrace the Moslem faith and the End Times scenario found in Bible prophecy, which is being played out right now, does allow the world to recognize this large population in our world today.

Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 list every Moslem nation as a key player in the Last Days. Joel 2 speaks of a massive militant militia that attacks Israel at the first of the seven year Tribulation Period. Ezekiel 39:2 reveals the demise of almost all of the Moslem world when they do attack Israel, but until then, the Moslems are major players on the world scene.

The Israeli Air Force is now training outside of Israel, preparing for the real thing, an Iranian strike

According to a senior Israeli Defense Force officer, the Israeli Air Force has been conducting an increasing number of training missions outside of Israel, over the Mediterranean, in the United States, Canada and other countries.

The announcement of the new Israeli Air Force training policy comes as Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter said that something went wrong in the software the Americans use to analyze the severity of the threat of a nuclear Iran, not only to Israel but the whole region including northern Africa and Europe.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the Israeli Air Force trains for the real thing, an attack from Iran or other distant threat, Bible prophecy predicting just such an attack comes better into focus.

The statement by the Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter that the intelligence estimate made by the United State was not reality. He said that Iran is a major threat for the entire Middle East region and all of the countries of Europe as well which has caused the Israeli Air Force to begin preparing for the real thing.

The real thing defined militarily is the attack on Israel by her number one enemy, Iran, but also includes the multiple attacks that could well take place at the same time.

The Israeli's realize that they live in a tough neighborhood and they must be prepared to defend themselves, thus the new training policy for the Israeli Air Force holding exercises outside of Israel.

This report is evidence that the prophetic passages penned by Daniel, Ezekiel and the Psalmist seem to be moving closer to fulfillment. Ezekiel 38:5 mentions Persia which is modern day Iran, as one of an alignment of nations that will attack Israel in the last days.

Iran is only one of over ten nations that will join in the attacks on the Jewish state itself. Nations like Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Lebanon and others as foretold in Daniel 11 and Psalm 83.

The reality that the Israeli Air Force is preparing now for the real thing is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. And maybe in the very near future.

The Israeli Knesset has chosen the symbol for Israel's 60th birthday

The Israeli Knesset's Symbols and Ceremonies Committee decided recently on Israel's official symbol for its 60th anniversary which features a child holding a white and blue sheet of cloth swirling into the number 60. This symbol will be the trademark for the year-long celebration of the Jewish state's 60th birthday, celebrating the rebirth of a state of Israel after almost 2,000 years with Jews scattered across the world.

The Israeli government has many plans for this 60th anniversary which may be interrupted by the events unfolding in the Middle East as it relates to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as the continuing threat from Iran.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The fact that the Jewish state of Israel is celebrating its 60th birthday is absolute evidence that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled.

Out of more than 100 nations of the world over the last 100 years, Jews from around the world have been slowly but surely making their way back to the homeland of their forefathers. Even as these Jews from around the world gather together to rebuild their own nation, their ancient Jewish language has also been restored so that Hebrew is the official language of the Jewish state.

The last 60 year history of this modern-day state of Israel has been marked by conflicts and full-scale wars, but the state of Israel continues to stand strong living among her enemies.

A number of the ancient Jewish prophets pre-wrote this modern-day history. Moses wrote that the Jews would return to their land after they had been punished for almost 2,000 years as recorded in Deuteronomy 28, 30. Micah wrote that God would punish the Jews, but then bring them back into their ancient homeland, Micah 7. Ezekiel, in chapter 37, said that the Jews would be regathered, that's the bones coming together as talked about in verse 7. They would be restored as a Jewish state, that's the flesh covering these bones that have come together as recorded in Ezekiel 37:8.

With Israel celebrating their 60th birthday, there is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

EU leaders have signed landmark treaty

A treaty that is expected to greatly alter the operations of the 27-member states of the EU has been signed in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and this treaty which creates an EU president is a replacement for the EU Constitution which was abandoned following French and Dutch opposition.

The treaty, a slimmed down version of the European Constitution, is meant to ease decision making by scrapping national vetos and developing a foreign policy chief with thousands of diplomats and officials.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The historic signing of the Lisbon Treaty which makes the EU a political, economic, military power with a powerful leader is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The year long celebration in 2007 of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome that established the European economic community, a forerunner of the EU, was crowned when the leaders of the 27-member states of the EU meeting in Lisbon, Portugal signed the Lisbon Treaty. The Lisbon Treaty also sets in place a permanent powerful president that will lead this supra state into the future as a major geopolitical player on the world scene.

With the signing of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU is in position, with its new permanent leader, to be the absolute infrastructure for the revived Roman Empire that is called for in Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote prophetically of this scenario 2,500 years ago when he called for a revival of the old Roman Empire, geographically the EU of today, an event that would take place in the days just prior to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Daniel 7:7, 24. Daniel's prophecy also revealed a powerful personality who would lead this revived Roman Empire, Daniel 7:8, 24-28. This leader would be a major player in the Middle East peace process, Daniel 9:27.

This historic signing of the Lisbon Treaty by the EU leaders has indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Infectious diseases are spreading around the globe faster than ever before

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning that states infectious diseases are emerging more quickly and spreading faster around the globe than ever and are becoming increasingly difficult to treat.

The UN said in its annual world health report that an outbreak or epidemic in one part of the world is only a few hours away from becoming an imminent threat somewhere else because billions of people are moving around the planet every year. The UN agency warned that there was a good possibility of another major scourge like AIDS, SARS, or Ebola fever with the potential of killing millions appearing in the coming years.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The potential for the rapid spread of an infectious disease around the globe in the coming years is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The WHO and the UN in their annual world health report have issued warnings in the past, but this most recent report should get the attention of world leaders and in fact, everybody on planet Earth. As billions of people move around the globe, the spread of infectious disease has become faster than ever and this potential will only increase not decrease.

The director general of WHO says that mass travel is facilitating the rapid spread of infectious diseases which no country can shield itself from an invasion thereof. This alarming report is not meant to scare anybody, but for all to realize the potential disaster ahead and understand the prophetic significance of this report.

Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse, warned of pestilence would be an indication of His soon return to the Earth. Pestilence is in essence pandemic disease, that means infectious diseases spreading rapidly across the Earth. Revelation 6:7-8 is the prophecy of the Fourth Seal Judgment which will take place on the Earth during the first half of the seven year Tribulation Period, and that judgment is death.

With infectious diseases as one reason for one-fourth of the Earth's population dying, the rapid spread of infectious diseases across the globe is indeed setting te stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

A number of Middle East countries are speeding up their Middle East development projects

In recent months, a number of Arab countries have boosted their nuclear programs in what experts believe to be a response to Iran's aggressive drive to acquire nuclear weapons with these Arab nations saying they are simply developing nuclear technology for peaceful means.

Analysts however, point out that most of the nations in question are in possession of huge oil reserves or they have access to natural resources which can easily be used to produce the needed power thereby eliminating the need for the costly development of nuclear facilities. Experts argue that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Libya and Turkey are speeding up their nuclear development due to the interest of global powers competing to sell their nuclear technology.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The nuclear surge in the Middle East should alarm the world and help us to realize the geopolitical ramifications of these developments especially in light of Biblical prophecy.

The world has been focused on Iran's nuclear development program that experts claim has positioned Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (NWMD) within a short period of time, maybe within the next one or two years. Now, there is a growing concern with the nuclear surge in the Middle East as a number of nations rush to develop their own nuclear capabilities. Experts are particularly curious as to the nuclear programs in a region which holds approximately 25% of the Earth's oil resources.

Some experts stress that peaceful nuclear technology can easily be converted to serve a nuclear weapons program. The list of nations who are developing these nuclear programs are the same countries on the list of nations that align themselves for an attack on the Jewish state of Israel in the Last Days.

The ancient Jewish prophets Daniel and Ezekiel and the Psalmist list the nations that will be included in this coalition of enemies against Israel, Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83. Under the guise of fear of the Iranian nuclear threat these Middle East nations are developing an arsenal that could be used against Israel.

Adolph Hitler of Nazi Germany is now a Hero on Palestinian Radio

A Palestinian Authority radio contest featured a biography of Adolph Hitler, complete with his military victories and his heroism during World War I & War World II and the broadcast never mentioned the Holocaust and the death of six million Jews.

This Palestinian Authority radio contest is consistent with Palestinian education in general which erases the Holocaust from history, according to a recent report from the Palestinian Media Watch, which revealed that the new 12th grade Palestinian Authority history school books showed that many pages were dedicated to the history of World War II and even to Nazi racism, but neither the Jews nor the Holocaust is ever mentioned.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The fascination with Adolph Hitler among Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority radio broadcast that characterizes Hitler as a hero, and never mentions the Holocaust, is a precursor to a dreadful end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

During the days of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany, the Palestinian leader, the Haj Amin al Husseini was used by Hitler to rally the Moslem world to join his final solution for the Jews, death in the ovens and gas chambers.

From the times of the Holocaust, during World War II, there has been an unholy fascination of Hitler by the Palestinian people, evidenced by the fact that they have named their children, Hitler.

These developments are preparing the world for a coming Holocaust of the Jews that will be more horrific than the Holocaust of Hitler. The ancient Jewish prophet, Zechariah, revealed that two out of every three Jews will be killed during the coming Holocaust in the seven year Tribulation Period, Zechariah 13:8.

Daniel, another Jewish prophet, wrote in chapter 12 verse 1 of his prophecy that this time would be the worst time the Jews have ever faced in all of their history. Revelation 12:13-17 says that Satan and his evil forces will endeavor to eliminate the Jews from the earth.

The Palestinian Authority radio broadcast honoring Hitler is indeed a precursor to the end times scenario of Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Palestinian Authority is working on legislation that says Jerusalem is part of an Islamic caliphate and is not up for negotiations

The PA Legislature has passed the first reading of a new law forbidding any concessions or even negotiations regarding Jerusalem and that Jerusalem is part of an Islamic caliphate which makes the entire city Palestinian-Islamic-Arab land.

The new PA legislation also states it is forbidden to discuss or even negotiate over any part of Jerusalem and anyone who violates these provisions on behalf of the PA will be considered guilty of treason and liable to the relevant punishment.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah said that Jerusalem would be the center of controversy in the Last Days and the new legislation proposed by the PA is evidence that Zechariah's prophecy is very close to fulfillment.

The status of the city of Jerusalem is right at the top of the agenda for the year long negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinian according to the decisions made at the Annapolis Middle East Peace Summit. Now, the PA Legislature has proposed a bill that would make it impossible for the Palestinian leaders to negotiate over Jerusalem, claiming that Jerusalem including the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Jewish Quarter and the City of David are all part of an Islamic caliphate, meaning that Jerusalem is Palestinian land, end of discussion.

The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote 2,500 years ago that this indeed would be the case, those controlling Jerusalem would be arrogantly secure and this would be irritating to the Lord, Zechariah 1:15-16. In the 12th chapter of Zechariah, the prophet revealed that there would be those who were intoxicated with their control of Jerusalem, Zechariah 12:2.

The proposed legislation in the PA Legislature pertaining to Jerusalem is evidence that the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

A pamphlet is being distributed in synagogues across Judea and Samaria calling for a second Jewish state

There is a campaign underway in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, to choose a flag and anthem for the new Jewish state that is being planned in the event the Israeli government follows through on promises made at the Annapolis Peace Summit to withdraw all Jews from the settlements in Judea and Samaria.

The initiative, published in the pamphlet, "Our Land of Israel", which is distributed in synagogues on the Sabbath, is offering a prize of several thousand shekels to be awarded to the participant whose design is adopted. Rabbi Dov Wolpe, the spokesperson for this initiative, says the only solution is to declare the establishment of an autonomous Jewish state in Judea and Samaria that will unite the Jewish settlements as a state to be.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The very serious initiative to establish a second Jewish state in Judea and Samaria is in perfect harmony with the End Time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

In the aftermath of the Middle East Peace Summit held in Annapolis, Maryland recently, there is a major move among rabbis in the Judea and Samaria region to establish a second Jewish state as an alternative to the proposed withdrawal of the Jewish settlements from the region. The possibility of a second Jewish state in Judea and Samaria has been discussed for a number of years, but the concessions made by the Israeli government to the Palestinians to remove the Jewish settlers for a future Palestinian state has now put in motion a serious plan to erect this state to be.

As I previously mentioned, this initiative is in perfect harmony with Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophets, Malachi, Jeremiah and Ezekiel all wrote about a second Jewish state during the End Times near the time of the Coming of the Messiah, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Malachi 2, Jeremiah 3 and Ezekiel 37. Ezekiel wrote that the two states would be called Israel and Judah, Ezekiel 37:15-23.

The concessions by the Israeli government and the Jewish settler's initiative for a second Jewish state has indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jews around the world will light a candle on each of the eight days of Chanukah to celebrate victory over the attacks of a mad man

The Jewish holy day of Chanukah is an eight day celebration to remember the victory over the three year campaign of Antiochus Epiphanes, Antiochus the mad man, who tried to wipe out, not only the Jewish people but their lifestyle as well.

After Antiochus desecrated the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, the mighty Jewish family known as the Maccabees rose up against this Grecian king to take back their Temple and purify the worship center by lighting the seven branched candelabra, the Menorah, which stayed lit for eight days with only one days supply of virgin olive oil.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As Jews around the world celebrate the eight days of Chanukah, the enemies of the Jewish state of Israel prepare to eradicate, not only the lifestyle of the Jewish people, but according to Bible prophecy, these enemies want to eradicate the Jews themselves.

On Kislev 25, 168 B.C., Kislev, the Jewish month that corresponds with our December, Antiochus Epiphanes, or better known as "Antiochus the Mad Man", led the war effort to take over the Temple in Jerusalem and desecrate their Jewish worship center by slaughtering a pig on the altar. Over the next three years, the Jews suffered the blasphemy of this mad man, Antiochus. Then, the Jewish family, the Maccabees rose up to take back the Temple from Antiochus Epiphanes, in fact on the same date, Kislev 25, except three years to the date after the Temple was desecrated, the Maccabees would reconsecrate the Temple, then they lighted the Menorah with enough virgin olive oil for one day and it continued to give light for eight days, thus the Jewish holy day of Chanukah, the Feast of Lights, the Feast of Dedication.

The ancient Jewish prophet, Daniel had predicted this prophetic event 300 years before it happened and referred to it as the Abomination of Desolation, a prototype of a similar event which will take place during the Tribulation period, Daniel 11:20-35, 9:27. In order for the next Abomination of Desolation to take place, there must be a Temple standing in Jerusalem, which by the way, the Jews are prepared to build right now.

Chanukah reminds us that Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

Israeli officials say the US intelligence community has no understanding of what really is happening with Iran's nuclear program

Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says that the threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons must not be underestimated, this after a US intelligence report claimed that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, but was continuing to enrich Uran.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak agreed that Iran had stopped development of a Nuclear WMD in 2003, but he added that Iran has since renewed the program and Iran is continuing in its efforts to produce a nuclear bomb despite the US intelligence report.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The evaluation by the US intelligence community of the potential for an Iranian Nuclear WMD says that the threat is not as bad as first thought. Israeli intelligence disagrees and so does Bible prophecy.

For the last several years, we've heard intelligence report after intelligence report warning that Iran is on the verge of having a Nuclear WMD. Now, with the release of the US report: Iran Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities, the US intelligence community is in retreat from previous assessments and it contradicts Israeli intelligence. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak says that the once stopped nuclear weapons program of Iran has restarted and is moving full steam ahead, and must not be ignored. The Israeli government is much concerned that this recently released US intelligence report will allow Iran to complete their production of a Nuclear WMD unhindered and become a larger threat than ever.

As the intelligence agencies fight it out over who is right, Bible prophecy reveals that Iran, with a Nuclear WMD or not, will be a major threat in the Last Days, a major player to lead an alignment of nations against the Jewish state of Israel, Ezekiel 38:5, Psalm 83 and Daniel 11:43-44.

The US intelligence report may well play down Iran's potential threat, but Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Foreign observers say Russian elections held this last weekend were not fair

The Russian elections for Parliament held this last weekend saw Vladimir Putin's political party win by a large margin. But foreign observers are saying that the election was not fair and fail to meet many standards for democratic elections.

Mr Putin has claimed the pole was legitimate and a vote of public trust in his leadership and that Russian's would not allow their nation to develop along a destructive path as had happened in several former Soviet countries.

The foreign monitors of the Russian election say there was frequent abuse of administrative resources and the media coverage was strongly in favor of the ruling party. A situation that has prompted several European countries and the United States to urge the Russian authorities to investigate reports of election violations.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the world watched the Russian Parliamentary elections they saw President Vladimir Putin's leadership become stronger, a precursor to the scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for a Russian leader of the future.

In the last several months Russian watchers have been amazed by the outspoken Russian President Vladimir Putin as he has maneuvered himself into a position to lead Russia into the future in what many are calling a return to the old Soviet Union days.

Russia, and thus, Vladimir Putin's relation with Iran and it's nuclear program, plus other partnerships with Middle Eastern, Arab and Islamic states has many prophecy students thinking that the prophetic scenario of Ezekiel 38 is about to be fulfilled.

The ancient Jewish prophet, Ezekiel, wrote that Magog, which is modern-day Russia, that Magog would lead the coalition of nations, against Israel, in the last days, Ezekiel 38:2. The leader of that alignment of nations, mentioned in Ezekiel, is Gog, which is all we know about this personality.

I am not saying that Vladimir Putin is Gog of Ezekiel 38:2, but indeed he certainly is a prototype of that coming leader. These recent Russian elections do indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Israeli PM Ehud Olmert warns of the end of the state of Israel

Israeli PM Olmert, in his return to Israel from the Annapolis Middle East Peace Summit, said that failure to negotiate a two state solution with the Palestinians would spell the end of the Jewish state of Israel.

The Israelis and the Palestinians agreed in Annapolis to set a goal of reaching a peace deal with US support in 2008 and US President George Bush called Annapolis the first substantive Arab-Israeli peace talks in some seven years, a hopeful beginning for Middle East peace. Meanwhile, the majority of Israelis believe that the Annapolis Summit was a failure and the new Jerusalem Congress, an alternative summit held in Jerusalem, was addressed by one rabbi who called for a second Jewish state in Judea and Samaria.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The prospects for two states in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, either an Israeli and Palestinian state or two Jewish states, has a great prophetic significance according to the ancient Jewish prophets.

At Annapolis, Maryland, the Middle East Peace Summit delegates concluded that the way to peace in the Middle East is a two state solution, the state of Palestine and the state of Israel. Any other solution, according to Israeli PM Ehud Olmert, would bring about the end of the Jewish state of Israel. As the Annapolis Summit was taking place, there was an alternative summit being held in Jerusalem, the New Jewish Congress. One of the leading rabbis, a speaker at the Jerusalem summit, has called for a second Jewish state in Judea and Samaria if there is the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Either of the two state solutions has great prophetic significance for the Last Days. The ancient Jewish prophet Malachi, revealed that in the End Times, the Edomites, today's Palestinian people, would rebuild their nation, a Palestinian state in the Middle East, Malachi 1:1-4. Ezekiel, another Jewish prophet, wrote 2,500 years ago that there would be a second Jewish state in the Last Days located in Judea and Samaria and this second Jewish state would be called Judah, Ezekiel 37:15-23.

The stage is today being set for both of these prophecies to be fulfilled, an indication that we are quickly approaching the soon coming of Jesus Christ back to Jerusalem.

Evangelicals are joining with the Vatican to create a code of conduct for conversions

Evangelical groups have recently joined efforts spearheaded by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and mainstream Protestant churches to create a common code of conduct for religious conversions that would, so they say, reserve the right of Christians to spread their religion while avoiding conflict among different faiths.

The World Council of Churches, the Vatican and now the World Evangelical Alliance have joined together to create this code that aims to ease tensions with Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups that fear losing adhearance. Muslims, Hindus and some religious groups often will resort to punishments as extreme as imprisonment and even death for converts from their faith and foreign missionaries who endeavor to convert these peoples.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The creation of a code of conduct for conversions put together by the Vatican, the Orthodox and Evangelicals is a precursor to an End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

In recent meetings between the Vatican, the Orthodox Church leaders and so-called Evangelical leaders, the creation of a code of conduct on conversion is being prepared so that tensions with Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups will be removed. Evangelization has caused concern among the branches of the church because of the vigor with which Evangelical congregations have led the drive for conversions at home and around the world. Some conservative Christian leaders say that the blurring of the command to evangelize the world with the message that Jesus is the only way and must be preached in all of the world is not only dangerous, but it is a sign that Bible prophecy for the Last Days is coming into focus.

John the Revelator, who wrote Revelation 17 about a coming false church, warned that this type of scenario would come to pass right after the Rapture. Paul, the Apostle, wrote of a time when there would be a turning away from the power of the Word of God to false teaching about the true doctrines of the Bible, II Timothy 3:1-7.

A so-called code of conduct on conversions that hinders the spread of the true Gospel is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Syria tells the Annapolis ME Peace Summit delegates that the Golan Heights never belonged to Israel

The Deputy FM of Syria speaking at the Annapolis Peace Summit, insisted that Israel must handover the Golan Heights and totally withdraw from the 1967 Arab lands before Syria will consider normalizing ties with the Jewish state.

Syria made a surprise appearance at the Annapolis conference, a decision made at the last minute and based upon America's agreement that the Syrian delegation would be allowed to put the Golan Heights on the agenda. The Syrian delegate at Annapolis made it very clear that Israeli occupation of Arab lands was the root of instability in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia called for the US to quick start the Israeli peace talks with Syria and Lebanon in the very near future.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Syrian claim that the Golan Heights never belonged to Israel is contradicted by Biblical history and has a very interesting prophetic significance as well.

In the last forty years, there has been an ongoing debate over the ownership of the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria. Israel took control of the Golan Heights in the Six Day War of 1967 and defended that control during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. As to the question of Israel's ownership of the Golan Heights, that dates back 3,500 years when the Lord gave the Golan, or Bashan, another Biblical name for the area, to the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 20:8.

Prophetically, this conflict between Israel and Syria over the Golan Heights, will continue to fester until the Syrian make their move militarily to take the Golan Heights. This prophetic scenario is revealed in Daniel 11:40-43 where Syria is referred to in Biblical terms as the King of the North. Syria will lead the alignment of Arab and Moslem states against the Jewish state of Israel at the very beginning of the seven year Tribulation Period soon after the Rapture.

The Syrian claim that the Golan has never belonged to Israel contradicts scripture and sets the stage for End Time prophecy to be fulfilled.

US President Bush at the Annapolis ME Peace Summit has warned of difficult compromises if there is ever to be peace in the Middle East

The Bush administration is hoping the Annapolis Summit will kick start the first Israeli-Palestinian talks in seven years and begin a program of meeting over the next year which will lead to a Palestinian state and some kind of peace in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Hamas faithful rallied against the Annapolis Summit in Gaza as they join with Iran and Hezbollah to denounce the peace summit as a Jewish propaganda stunt and very dangerous for the Palestinians.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The US hosted Middle East Peace Summit in Annapolis Maryland has interesting ramifications that can be found in Bible prophecy.

President George W. Bush, in what many have called a failed summit even before it started, has had a measure of success by having forty Arabs leaders come to the table to discuss peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It remains to be seen if two very weak political leaders, Israeli PM Olmert and PA President Mahmoud Abbas, can reach any type of agreement.

Bible prophecy however, does speak directly to the issue of peace in the Middle East between the Israelis and the Palestinians. As it relates t peace, the ancient Jewish prophet, Daniel reveals that a world leader will step forward and confirm the peace agreements already on the table, the ones not working right now, Daniel 9:27. This world leader will be the Antichrist, a European leader that has worked for peace in the Middle East before he comes to power, Daniel 7:8, 24. The other issue is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that Bible prophecy says will not be resolved until Jesus Christ comes back, Malachi 1, Ezekiel 35, Jeremiah 49 and the little prophetic book of Obadiah.

According to these prophetic scenarios, the Annapolis Middle East Peace Summit is just another step along the way towards the time when all of Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A Washington insider says that an Iran with Nuclear capability would transform the power-balance in the Middle East and set the region for Nuclear War

Anthony Cortisman, a former director of intelligence assessment for the Secretary of Defense, who is now a top strategic guru at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says that if Iran achieves it's goal of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction the entire power-balance in the Middle East will be changed and it will set the stage for a nuclear war in the region.

Cortisman says that theoretically it is possible that the Israeli State, economy and organized society would survive such an almost mortal blow; however, Iran would not survive in the normal sense of the term.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The possibility of a nuclear war in the Middle East, should Iran acquire a nuclear weapon of mass destruction, is very viable says one strategic planner; however, Bible prophecy has additional information about this possible scenario for the Middle East as well.

Anthony Cortisman the strategic guru in Washington says that a nuclear confrontation between Iran and Israel would kill millions of Iranians and leave Israel crippled, but the Jewish State would survive.

This scenario that at this point in time is possible, if all intelligence from the region is correct is only in the mind's of the analyst. But from the pages of Bible prophecy this potential war, nuclear or not, will take place according to the ancient Jewish prophets.

Ezekiel mentioned Iran specifically as a nation that till form a coalition with other nations to attack Israel and endeavor to destroy the Jewish State, that's in Ezekiel 38:5 where Iran is referred to as Persia.

Bible prophecy does not mention that nuclear weapons will be used but the prophets do say that the total destruction of the Jewish State is on the agenda of the alignment of nations against Israel in the last days, as found also in the prophetic books of Daniel, Joel and Micah.

The assessment that there could be a nuclear war in the Middle East ans soon is close to what Bible prophecy calls for in the last days. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The World Bank is preparing to fund a project to keep the Dead Sea alive

Scientists report that the Dead Sea, located in the Jordan Valley of Israel, is receding at an astonishing rate of 3 feet per year which has brought together Israel, Jordan and the PA in an effort to stop the demise of the Dead Sea which is economically important to the entire region.

The World Bank has raised the funds for a feasibility study to look into transferring seawater from the Red Sea at the Southern border of both Israel and Jordan to the Dead Sea, a study to determine the economic feasibility of the Red-Dead Project and to conclude what environmental impact it would have on the region. The Dead Sea is known as a terminal body of water with its primary source of water being the Jordan River and this water supply has been declining sharply for the last thirty years so that the water level of the Dead Sea is dropping rapidly.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Red-Dead Project, an effort to stop the Dead Sea from dying, could well set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For a number of years, Israeli officials have been concerned about the demise of the Dead Sea with its rapid rate of evaporation and the continuing decease in the water from the Jordan River, the only water source for the Dead Sea. Several rescue projects had been proposed over the years to turn this environmental and economic disaster around. Now, with the World Bank joining with Israel, Jordan and the PA, there seems to be a potential for reversing the present trend of this region being depleted of its life giving water and the economic value it brings to all parties in the region. The Red-Dead Project, which would pump water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, could restore not only the water needed for the region, but firm up the economic importance of the Dead Sea to all parties involved.

In light of Bible prophecy, the Red-Dead Project could play a key role in preparing the region for the scenario called for in God's Word for the Last Days. Ezekiel 38 reveals that the Russian-led coalition of nations that will come against Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation in an effort to destroy the Jewish state will also come to take unto themselves an economic spoil, Ezekiel 38:12. Ezekiel 38:13 even mentions gold and silver as a part of that spoil which could be a result of the economic power revitalized by a restored Dead Sea.

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.

The Charter of the political organization headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas calls for the eradication of Israel

As Israeli and Palestinian political leaders prepare for the Middle East Peace Summit at Annapolis, it has been reported that the charter of the Fatah Palestinian Political Party calls for the eradication of the Jewish state of Israel and political leaders in the US are calling for PA President Mahmoud Abbas to change the charter before the summit.

The Fatah Charter, drafted in 1964 and never repealed, calls for the demolition of the state of Israel as well as the eradication of the Zionist, economic, political, military and cultural existence of Israel. The charter endorses an armed struggle as a strategy to uproot the Zionist existence and calls on the world community to prevent Jewish immigration to Israel.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Palestinian charter that calls for the eradication of the Jewish state of Israel fits the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The continuing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the focus of many world leaders who have spent many man hours endeavoring to bring a solution to the Middle East tinderbox. Peace conference after peace conference has been held to see if there can be a coming together of the two parties so that they can coexist in the land of Israel, so far to no avail. With the disclosure that the political organization of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, the Fatah Movement, that their charter dating back to 1964 calls for the eradication of the Zionist, economic, political, military structure of a Jewish state in the Middle East, makes it clear why there has been no solution to the ongoing conflict.

According to Bible prophecy, there will be no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict until the Messiah, Jesus Christ comes back. Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Malachi and Obadiah all ancient Jewish prophets reveal that the conflict will only intensify in the coming days, Ezekiel 35, Jeremiah 49, Malachi 1 and the little prophetic book of Obadiah.

Man's efforts to come to a solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will indeed fail.

A political leader in the Netherlands has called for a ban on the Koran in his country

A member of the Dutch Parliament and the leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, member of the parliament Geert Wilders, has called for a ban on the Koran in the Netherlands describing the Islam holy book as a "fascist" text that exhorts followers to kill and rape.

Wilders compared the Koran to Adolf Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf and said that the Koran has no place in a constitutional state when the Koran itself calls on Moslems to oppress, persecute and kill Christians, Jews and all non-believers. The Dutch member of parliament says that for years he has said that there is no such thing as a moderate Moslem, which in the Koran calls for Moslems to establish Islamic states if need be by force.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent claim by a Dutch political leader that the Koran calls for Moslems to kill non-believers and establish an Islamic world-wide kingdom by force is a precursor to the scenario for the Last Days as found in Bible prophecy.

Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament in the Netherlands has for years said that there is no such thing as a moderate Moslem. Now, the Dutch member of parliament has called for the Koran to be banned in his country because it does call for Moslems to kill non-believers like Jews and Christians and allows for the beating of women and even the rape of women.

These shocking accusations are in the face of those in the Moslem world that say the militant Moslems have kidnapped a peaceful religion. This debate will continue in the secular and religious worlds, but the Bible does speak to the issue when discussing Islamic beliefs.

John the Apostle, wrote in I John 4:3 that anyone who says Jesus Christ is not the Son of God in the flesh is the spirit of Antichrist. The ancient Jewish prophets Ezekiel, Daniel and the Psalmist wrote of an Alignment of Nations that will come against the Jewish state of Israel in the Last Days in an effort to destroy them, and the lowest common denominator is their Islamic faith. Ezekiel 39:1-6 reveals these nations will be destroyed early on in the seven year Tribulation Period, but until then, terrorism spreading across the world under the guise of Islam.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews are expanding the population of the West Bank by large numbers.

The Jewish settler population in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, is growing twice as fast as the rest of the population in other areas in Israel and the Ultra-Orthodox community is responsible for the major portion of the annual growth in these disputed territories.

In the areas where the Ultra-Orthodox move in to establish their young families, the annual growth rate is five to six times more than Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv's growth respectively and twice as much as the growth of many other Jewish settlements. The Ultra-Orthodox rabbis sanctioned living in these settlements assuming that these territories would be annexed to Israel sometime in the near future.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The expanding population of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Judea and Samaria is in essence a page out of Bible prophecy for these religious Jews and the land of their forefathers.

Since the end of the Six Day War in June of 1967, Jews both religious and secular have been moving into the area of Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, building their homes and raising their families. These disputed territories have increased in population over the years to nearly 500,000 people in two hundred Jewish settlements.

Now, the Israeli government is reporting that the fastest growth of population in any area of Israel is this area referred to as the West Bank, but known Biblically as Judea and Samaria.

As I mentioned, this report is a page out of the prophetic passages in God's Word. The Ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote 2,500 years ago that in the Last Days God would give the land of the forefathers of the Jewish people to the Jews of today, Ezekiel 36. Ezekiel the prophet was actually told to preach to the land that would bring forth man and animal and multiply them on the land, Ezekiel 36:11. Ezekiel 36:6-22 reveals what God would do with the land for the Jews and in verse 22 tells us that would be done for His holy namesake.

A Christian leader says that converting Jews is not a goal

An official with Christians United for Israel, a pro-Zionist Christian group, says that Christian Zionists do not support Israel based on a speculative End Times scenario in the future but it is based on God's biblical covenants with the people of Israel in the past.

This same official stated that conversion of Jews to Jesus Christ was not the organization's goal and reports indicate that Jewish groups have embraced Christians United for Israel under the influence of large contributions to fund raising campaigns by groups under CUFI's founder John Hagee's control.

Janet Parshall, a Christian talk show host, said that the Christian Zionist movement has a kind of blind support for Israel, that Israel can do no wrong and she charged some of the leaders in the movement foster that Jews could be saved outside of Jesus.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An End Times scenario for the Jews that does not include Jesus Christ is totally contradictory to the Bible and will lead to another Holocaust.

Recently, two different letters referring to Israel today arrived at the White House for President Bush with two different opinions about what should politically be the US approach to the Jewish state and their relationship with the Arab neighbors. The letters indicated a division among Christians as to how we should or should not support the Israeli government. There has been a growing movement among Bible believing Christians as to their support for Israel and whether we as Christians should back away from trying to lead Jews to Jesus Christ as their Messiah and Lord and Savior.

God's Word is plain about all people, both Gentiles and Jews, they must come to salvation by way of the cross and through Jesus Christ, John 14:6. It is because of the covenants that the Lord made with the Jewish people that there is and End Times scenario that is unfolding today as prophesied in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Rejection of the fact that God has a plan for the Jews in Bible prophecy is anti-biblical and will indeed lead to the fulfillment of all prophecy including the persecution and ultimate slaughter of the Jewish people.

Petra in Southern Jordan has been chosen as one of the Seven Wonders of the World

Jordanians celebrated the selection of the unique city of Petra as one of the seven wonders of the world with fireworks in Amman, the capital city and dancing into the early morning hours in the ancient city of the Edomites and the Nabataeans.

Petra came in second behind the Great Wall of China in a massive global on-line poll and telephone campaign in which more than one hundred million people chose the top seven wonders of the world.

Jordanian's believe that this will really put Petra on the map of choice tourist destinations, a location that most recently was popularized by the movie, "Indiana Jones, And the Last Crusade".

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The notoriety recently received by the unique rose red city of Petra in southern Jordan will enhance the awareness of this location that will play a key role in end time's Bible prophecy.

One Jordanian said that Petra was known by some people in the past but now it will be known by all who know the seven wonders of the world. Recently chosen as one of the elite locations in our world, Petra has a long history dating back some four thousand years ago to the times of Esau and his family who traveled from Israel to Petra to set up its nation. A nation of the Edomites.

The famous stone carvers, the Nabataeans from Arabia, carved out of this sand stone rose red city, a wonderfully beautiful city, that is known as a location with only one entrance and exit. That just over a mile long "ciq" which is an Arabic word meaning high, narrow gorge.

This impregnable city will serve as the place prepared by God, talked about in Revelation 12:6, that will protect the Jewish people or at least one-third of them during the coming time of terrible judgment in the seven year long Tribulation Period.

Isaiah 63:1-6 reveals that Petra is that location where Jesus will go and gather those protected Jews and take them to Jerusalem with Him. Petra is that place prepared by God and now as one of the seven wonders of the world it is indeed prepared to play its role in Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Pope Benedict says only the Roman Catholic Church was established by Jesus Christ

In a document issued by the Vatican's congregation for the doctrine of the faith, it contained Pope Benedict's assertion that the Roman Catholic Church is the one church that Jesus Christ established on earth.

The Pope's statement also said that other Christian denominations cannot be called "churches" in the proper sense of the word, a comment that has prompted condemnation and confusion from Protestants and the Orthodox. The pronouncement from the Vatican said that Pope Benedict was trying to clarify teachings from the second Vatican council of 1962-1965 which the current Pope attended and has been very concerned over its liberal interpretations.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Pope Benedict's statement that the Catholic Church is the church that Christ established on earth has a prophetic significance that is played out during the End Times according to Bible prophecy.

Pope Benedict, the very conservative leader of the world-wide Catholic Church, has made another very controversial statement. Last summer, the Pope angered the Muslim world when he referred to Islam as a dangerous religion. This summer, the Pope's new assertion that the Catholic Church is the church that Jesus Christ establish here on earth has brought about condemnation and confusion. What is interesting is that the Pope's assertion parallels the prophecy found in the book of Revelation about a one-world church in the future.

John the Apostle, who wrote Revelation, wrote in Revelation 17 of a one-world church coming to power in the first half of the Tribulation Period and being led by the Antichrist. That church described in Revelation 17 will be headquartered in Rome, Italy and will be the only church of that time in history. John, in Revelation 17, describes in detail that coming false church during the Tribulation Period. Hear me please now, I did not say that the Catholic Church is that false church of Revelation 17.

I have only reported the latest news from the Vatican which does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

A landmark archaeological discovery found in the British museum gives proof of Old Testament truth

An expert on ancient Babylon, Dr. Michael Jersey of Vienna, has discovered a small clay tablet located in the British museum that is a landmark archaeological discovery and provides proof of the Old Testament's veracity.

Though the tablet was unearthed near Baghdad in 1920, only recently has it been deciphered by Dr. Jersey which led to the discovery of the records of a donation of gold by the chief eunuch of King Nebuchadnezzar. Dr. Jersey quickly consulted Jeremiah 39 where he found the man's name listed a s one of Nebuchadnezzar's top ministers who actually took part in the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem some 2,500 years ago.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An ancient Babylonian tablet found in the British museum is evidence that the nation of Iraq will be destroyed forever according to Bible prophecy.

A recent discovery in the British museum by an expert on ancient Babylon gives a direct link to the Bible and the Babylonian history under King Nebuchadnezzar. The Babylonian tablet gives the name of one of Nebuchadnezzar's top ministers which is the same name of Nebuchadnezzar's men found in Jeremiah 39. This old Testament passage used by the archaeologist is the account of King Nebuchadnezzar's siege of the city of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple in 586 BC.

It was that destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem 2,500 years ago that God said would be the reason He would destroy the Babylonians, the modern-day Iraqis, forever, Jeremiah 50:28, 51:11. However, before the Babylonians and the literal city of Babylon are destroyed, this nation and the city of Babylon will become the headquarters for the one-world, economic, political, governmental system led by Antichrist, Revelation 18.

Of course, that war-torn nation must be rebuilt and become the power center of the world before the destruction as recorded in Revelation 16:17-21.

Scientists say that the global oil reserves could run out within four years

There is a group of scientists based in London that have challenged the major review of global oil reserves and they are warning that oil supplies will start to run out in only four years time, a report that governments and oil companies are not ready to admit according to the scientists.

Dr. Colin Campbell, the head of this delegation of scientists says that world consumption of oil will catch and then out strip the discovery of new reserves even as oil reserves are depleted affecting the world economy.

A survey of the four countries with the biggest reported reserves Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait reveals major concerns especially since consumption is increasing by 2 to 3 million barrels a day, each year.

The depletion of global oil reserves within the next four years may well speed up the fulfillment of the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Two-thirds of the world's oil reserves lie in the Middle East and increasing demand will have to be met with massive increases in supply from the region. Scientists now believe that within four years global oil reserves will begin to run out.

This report if correct could have a major impact on the Middle East region and in particular the major oil producers in the region Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran. In reality, the sale of oil by these middle eastern nations has been the key factor in the influence of these nations who lead the war against the Jewish state in the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Psalm 83, Daniel 11, and Ezekiel 38 reveal the Middle Eastern nations that attack Israel in the Last Days. In the book Joel chapter 2 there is a description of the mighty militia that will go to Jerusalem to set up its world empire.

Daniel 9:27 and 11:45 reveal that a world economic leader will come to power. Revelation 18 says that he will be headquartered in the midst of these oil rich nations, nations about to deplete their oil resources.

The time seems short until Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

An interfaith group made up of Middle East Jews, Moslems and mainline Christians say the West Bank is under Israeli occupation

A group of Middle East religious leaders of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths have issued a communique which seems to say Arabs living in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, are living under Israeli occupation.

The statement was authored by the Council of Religious Institutions which is made up of Moslem Sheikhs, the leaders of Orthodox, Latin patriarchs and Anglican churches and the chief rabbis of Israel. The group sidestepped the conflict over the status of Jerusalem, Israel's capital and Judaism's holiest city, saying that Jerusalem must remain accessible to people of all faiths.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An interfaith leadership council saying that Jews are occupying Arab land in Judea and Samaria is evidence that Bible prophecy for the Last Days is close to fulfillment.

When one thinks of the Holy Land, they may well think of what was the land in Biblical times; however, upon arriving in the land of Israel, Jordan or Egypt for a visit as a tourist that vision is pretty much destroyed except for the appearance of a shepherd with his sheep or an occasional camel wandering through the desert. The reality is that the Middle East is a land of conflict both politically and religiously. The communique released by the Interfaith Leadership Council is an agreement that members of all three faiths may well strongly disagree with, that Israel is occupying Arab lands in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank.

Bible prophecy states that God will give the land, and in particular Judea and Samaria, to the Jews in the Last Days, Deuteronomy 30. Bible prophecy also states that a worldwide religious body, the one world church, will play a role in bringing about peace during the Last Days as well, Revelation 17. In fact, the End Times leader, the Antichrist, will head up this one world religious body and be the provider of this peace agreement during the Last Days, Daniel 9:27, Revelation 17.

A statement about God's Promised Land for the Jews from an interfaith religious leadership group is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The continuing rise in the price of oil may trigger a global conflict that will cost millions of lives

The stark claim of a controversial new film which says a crash in oil production is about to set off worldwide recession and economic collapse and could trigger a global conflict that will cost millions of lives is closer to reality than fiction according to petroleum experts.

Petroleum experts including the US Energy Information Administration says that oil production has reached its peak or that the peak is imminent, which is the message of this new film, "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash," a film coming out in theaters across the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A controversial film about a global disaster sparked by worldwide reduction of oil supplies is more than fiction. The film's scenario is very close to a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.

For several years now, petroleum experts have been reporting that oil resources of the world were about to peak and to start declining, thus effecting the worldwide oil production. However, there are those who debate whether oil sources are drying up, but the rising price of crude oil per barrel has given evidence that the dramatic scenario of the newly released film, "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash," is closer to reality than to fiction.

Bible prophecy lends evidence of a coming global conflict sparked by the high cost of oil and the decline in its production plus the ever increasing consumption of oil products. The Middle Eastern nations that are the prime suppliers of oil are all included on the list of nations that come together to destroy Israel in the Last Days, Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83. The one Middle Eastern nation with more crude oil resources than any other and may be the greatest supply of oil according to petroleum experts, the nation of Iraq has removed less than two percent of its oil from the ground, which sets Iraq in place as potentially the richest nation in the world in the future.

This scenario fits the prophetic scenario of Revelation 18 which sets the stage for Babylon, modern-day Iraq to rule the world in the Last Days.

Israeli Intelligence says Iran could have a Nuclear WMD by 2009

Iran has achieved a landmark with 3,000 centrifuges fully working in its Uranium enrichment program according to Iranian President Ahmadinejad. This led the Israeli Intelligence Community to say that Iran could have a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) by 2009 instead of 2010 or 2011 as previously thought.

The Chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, Tzachi Hanegbi, says that with this report from the Intelligence Community, the new timeline makes 2008 the critical year to deal once and for all with the Iranian nuclear program.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The announcement that Iran is several years closer than thought in the development of a Nuclear WMD is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The best guessed scenario for Iran to develop a Nuclear WMD had been that they would be ready to become a nuclear-powered state in 2010 or possibly 2011. Now, with this latest intelligence from the area of Iran and with the materials gathered from the Syrian nuclear facility, Israeli Intel says that Iran could have a Nuclear WMD by 2009. This information is key to stopping Iran as well as Syria from acquiring a Nuclear WMD for their military arsenals.

The ancient Jewish prophets prewrote this scenario for the Last Days. Daniel and Ezekiel, contemporary prophets, both wrote of the Last Days when nations would move to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. Daniel, in Daniel 11:40-43, revealed that Syria would be the first state to make a move against Israel. Ezekiel in chapter 38:5, states that Persia, modern-day Iran, would also play a key role in the coalition of nations to come against Israel.

This latest intelligence information indicates that Bible prophecy may very well be close to fulfillment.

A group of Israeli citizens filed a class action suit against the Moslems who run the Temple Mount for having destroyed Jewish antiquities

An Israeli law center has filed a class action law suit that charges the Islamic Trust officials, the custodians of the Temple Mount, saying that these officials engaged in the deliberate destruction of ancient Jewish relics on the Temple Mount.

The spokesperson for the law center said that this law suit is the first of its kind in Israeli history and was filed on behalf of 150 Israelis who are acting as representatives of the Jewish people to stop the destruction of Judaism's holiest site.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The need for a historic lawsuit to be filed to stop the Moslems from destroying the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is evidence that we are near to the time when Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A group of Israelis have filed a class action lawsuit to stop custodians of the Temple Mount from destroying not only archaeological remains and artifacts dating back to the First and Second Temple Periods but the entire Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site. After the IDF captured the Temple Mount in 1967 during the Six Day War, Israel allowed the Jordanians to continue to control and administer the Temple Mount. However, the Moslems do not own the Temple Mount. It is still owned by the Jewish people, first purchased by King David some 3,000 years ago.

For 2,000 years, the Jews longed to return to this sacred Temple Mount and now they want the Moslems to stop destroying this holy site. Jesus Christ, in a preincarnate appearance to the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah, told the prophet that He was aggressively possessive of this holy site, Zechariah 1:14. The Lord also told Zechariah that one day, He would return to Jerusalem to build a temple there on the Temple Mount where He would rule and reign in His Kingdom yet to come, Zechariah 6:12-13.

This recently filed lawsuit is designed to stop the Moslems from destroying the Temple Mount, but either way, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair tells Israel to drop it's indifference and skepticism about the prospects for peace with the Palestinians

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now the Middle East Peace Envoy for the Quartet, has told the Israeli's that they need to make a psychological shift from indifference and skepticism about the prospects of progress with the Palestinians to an active determination to make it happen on the right terms.

Blair, in an interview with the Jerusalem Post, said that Israel, which will be 60 years old next May, would absolutely still be here in another 60 years but that to guarantee it's long-term security, he believes that Israel needs a viable Palestinian state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent exhortation to Israel from Middle East Peace envoy Tony Blair, that Israel can have peace with the Palestinians, has positive and negative prophetic significance, that is according to Bible prophecy.

After serving a number of years as the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair was named as the Middle East Peace Envoy for the Quartet, which includes the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia.

The peace envoy believes that the Israeli's and the Palestinians can co-exist in the Middle East into the future. This thought pattern displayed by Blair is in contradiction to Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophet's wrote that the Jews, descendants of Jacob, and the Palestinians, descendants of Esau will continue to fight each other until the Messiah, Jesus Christ comes back to earth, Malachi 1:2-4, Ezekiel 35 and Obediah.

Tony Blair's position as Middle East Peace Envoy is a prototype for a leader who will come to power out of the Revived Roman Empire, that would be the European Union, today, and will indeed establish a peace; howbeit a short-term peace between the Jewish state of Israel and it's Arab and Moslem neighboring states. This scenario is found in Daniel 7 and also Daniel 9:27.

Let me hasten to say; however, I do not believe that that leader, the Antichrist, will be fulfilled by Tony Blair, but indeed he is a perfect prototype. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Religious Jews around the world claim their Biblical rights to the land of Israel

Every religious Orthodox Jew reads through the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament (O.T.), once a year and during that reading they read Genesis 23 which is the Biblical basis for Jewish claims to the land that God promised the Jewish people, especially the city of Hebron in Israel, a city in the Palestinian areas today.

Claiming that Abraham, father of the Jewish people, made the first Hebrew land purchase, religious Jews quote from Genesis 23 which is a record of Abraham's purchase of the Machpelah Cave, the burial site for the Jewish patriarchs, a purchase that was made for its full price. Israel's Supreme court has questioned the right of Jews to live in Hebron, the oldest Jewish community in the world, and for the Jews to own land in Hebron.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Four thousand years ago, Abraham, father of the Jewish people, started a trend that has come down through the millennia and has an interesting prophetic significance for the End Times.

During the first of November, religious Jews around the world in their daily reading of the Torah, first five books of the O.T., they read Genesis 23, which is the Biblical account of Jewish father Abraham making the first Hebrew purchase of land in Israel and he paid cash money, in fact the full price for the Machpelah Cave in Hebron, a burial site for his wife Sarah, Genesis 23. The Jewish community living today in Hebron is in a fight with Israel's supreme court as to whether they have a right to purchase land in Hebron and live their today. There was another land purchase

There was another land purchase made by a Jewish leader, King David, when he paid cash money for Ornon's Threshing floor, which is the location of the Holy of Holies on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, I Chronicles 21:18-30. King David's purchase of the threshing floor on Mount Moriah set the stage for all Jewish temples to stand on that site. These two land purchases by Abraham and King David of the two holiest sites in Judaism are a part of the fabric of all the land that God promised the Jewish people in the Abrahamic Covenant, land that they will receive when the Messiah, Jesus Christ comes back.

The total amount of the promised land to the Jews is ten times what they own today. The stage is set in the land of the Bible for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The UN has been accused of being one-sided and irrational in decisions designed to demonize the Jewish state of Israel

UN Watch and American NGO that monitors the UN activities has released a report that deals with UN in action on Antisemitism and has stated the UN is an infrastructure of manifestly one-sided and irrational measures designed to demonize the Jewish state of Israel.

Noting that both the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council with their influence on the global stage both parties, according to UN Watch, reported that neither agency has yet to pass any dedicated resolution or request any report on hatred of Jews and Christians. The report also notes that the UN Human Rights Council, in its first year 2006-2007, saw 100% of its resloutions devoted to condemning Israel alone.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An international political body like the UN that does not stand against Antisemitism and in the majority of its resolutions condemns the Jewish state of Israel is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

With the establishment of the UN Human Rights Council, many believed that the international, political body would become more than one-sided in its condemnation of Antisemitism. Instead, the UN agency saw 100% of its resolutions devoted to condemning the Jewish state of Israel. This has been the case with the entire operation of the UN over the years. Since its beginning, over one-third of all resolutions that the UN has passed have been condemning the state of Israel.

As I stated previously, these activities are setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote 2,500 years ago that in the Last Days leading up to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, there would be a slaughter of two out of every three Jews on the Earth, Zechariah 13:8. John the Revelator wrote 2,000 years ago in Revelation 12:13-17 that satanic forces would move to wipe out all Jews on the Earth during the time of Jacob's Trouble ahead.

The UN in action against Antisemitism is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Russian schools have been ordered to ban students from celebrating the cult of death, better known as Halloween

A Russian school official says that Halloween is being forced underground because it includes religious elements, the cult of death and the mockery of death. Therefore school officials have been ordered to ban students from celebrating Halloween despite the widespread popularity of the imported festival to Russia.

Pumpkins and images of witches are widespread across Russia despite the efforts of the Kremlin and especially the Russian Orthodox church to curb enthusiasm for Halloween saying that it is not an attempt to block the celebration completely but only in schools and colleges.

The Russian school officials say celebrating the cult of death, Halloween, is destructive for the minds and the spiritual, moral health of students.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The celebration of the cult of death, better known as Halloween, is a precursor of events foretold in Bible prophecy for the last days.

It is very interesting to note that Russian school officials have been ordered to ban the celebration of Halloween, a holiday festival they also call the cult of death. These Russian school officials and the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church say that making a mockery of death is dangerous for the spiritual and moral health of the students.

This annual celebration among the nations of the world, and in particular in America, has parents encouraging their children to adorn themselves with costumes that depict death and then visit neighbors with the threat of "trick or treat".

The celebration of Halloween, the cult of death, is a dangerous lead in to the last days scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Satan plays a key role in the last days, along with his legions of evil angels, demonic creatures that are responsible for the killing of half of the earths population during the seven year Tribulation Period, Revelation 6:7-8 and 9:15-16.

This cult of death will be played out during the Tribulation Period as demonic creatures slaughter two-thirds of the entire Jewish population of the world at that time, Zechariah 13:8 and Revelation 12:13-17.

II Corinthians 11:13-15 reveals that the devil is an angel of light who could well use what seems to be an innocent children's activity to set his agenda for the last days. Be careful, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Chicken and egg debate unscrambled

The debate between academics, scientists, and philosophers, and even some chicken farmers over which came first, the chicken or the egg, a debate organized by the Disney movie making company to promote the release of their new film, "Chicken Little" on dvd, those debating have come to a conclusion: the egg came first.

Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life; therefore, the first bird that evolved in prehistoric times into a chicken must have existed as an embryo inside an egg, this is according to these experts. In conclusion, the team debating the age old question said that eggs were around long before the first chicken, according to their research.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The debate over which came first, the chicken or the egg and the conclusion by a team of academics, scientists, and philosophers in England that the egg came first, is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The "Eggsperts" have come to the conclusion that during prehistoric times the egg was first, and then the chicken.

It is interesting to me that these scientists, academics, and philosophers would use the word "prehistoric", which is basically an oxymoron, it has no meaning. In truth there was only God before history.

The close companion of Jesus Christ, the Apostle Peter, in the last book that he wrote, II Peter 3 says that the world would be in the Last Days willfully ignorant of the fact that God created all things including the chicken on the fifth day of Creation, that's found in II Peter 3:5 and Genesis 1:22-23. Peter also said that in the Last Days these same people, the ones willfully ignorant, would deny the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, that's II Peter 3:3-4.

The announcement that the egg came before the chicken is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
