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.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

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.

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.

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.
