A Hamas leader says they have 200 thousand suicide bombers for Israel

Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas official, warned Israel that if they reject a truce with the Palestinians, the Jewish state will pay a heavy price because the Palestinians are a besieged people and they will have to use all the tools the Palestinians have to defend themselves against Israel.

Zahar said that Israel may have 200 nuclear warheads but Hamas has 200 thousand people who want to blow themselves up inside Israel. This statement was made to students at Islamic University in Gaza City.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The cease-fire called for by Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization, is an Islamic method to position the Palestinians for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

As the world watches the continuing struggle and conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, they see what seems to be an offer by the Palestinians for a cease-fire between these two peoples. However, the word in Arabic used for cease-fire is "hudna" and is actually a method that was used by Mohammed, the founder of the Islamic faith, to overcome his enemies and to completely destroy them. Hudna actually means retreat, restrategize, rearm and return to war, this method has been used down through the centuries by the Moslems.

Let me remind you that the Palestinian people of today are the descendants of Esau, the Edomites of Biblical times. A number of prophets including Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Malachi and Obadiah all foretold of a time in history future when the Edomites, the Palestinians, would come to destroy the Jews and take their land, Ezekiel 35 and 36. The prophet Malachi said that the Palestinians would return and rebuild and that God would have indignation against them, Malachi 1:1-4. Obadiah reveals the demise of the Edomites, the Palestinians, in the Last Days, Obadiah 1:15-18.

A false cease-fire, a hudna, between the Palestinians and the Israelis is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The world must accept Israel's imminent collapse

Speaking to a large crowd in Iran's Southern port city of Bushehr, the site of Iran's nuclear facility, Iranian President Ahmadinejad called on the world to acknowledge Israel's imminent collapse. The Iranian president told world leaders to stop supporting the Zionists, that their regime had reached its final stages and that the Palestinians and regional nations will confront and eventually bring to an end to the Israeli atrocities.

Iran does not acknowledge Israel and Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust of Jews in WWII a myth and has called for Israel to be wiped off the map and their name to be forgotten forever.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The scenario that Iranian President Ahmadinejad describes as the imminent collapse of Israel with the Middle East nations destroying the Jewish state does fit Bible prophecy; however, it has a different conclusion.

Standing near the nuclear facility located in Iran's port city of Bushehr, Iranian President Ahmadinejad has warned the world of the imminent collapse of the Jewish state of Israel. This warning is a continuation of his radical rhetoric focused on Israel and the claims that Israel is an illegitimate state and will soon be wiped off the map.

Ahmadinejad's statement that the Palestinians and other Middle East nations will eventually attack to help speed Israel's collapse is a page out of Bible prophecy. Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83 all lay out the scenario that brings these Middle Eastern nations, including Iran, to attack the Jewish state. Psalm 83:4 reveals that the plan for these attacks is to wipe the nation of Israel off the map and that the name Israel be forgotten forever. Daniel 12:1 and Ezekiel 39:2 says that God will intercede and all of the attacking nations will be destroyed.

Ahmadinejad's claim of the imminent collapse of Israel does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The United Nations Human Rights Commission has endorsed the Arab Charter which calls for the state of Israel to be eliminated

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbor, has endorsed the Arab Charter of Human Rights which contains several provisions that promote classically anti-Semitic themes according to United Nations Watch who said that the charter classifies Zionism as 'racist' and calls for the elimination of Zionism, which is the basis for the state of Israel.

The Arab Charter on Human Rights is intended to serve as a basis for the principles of freedom by which Arab nations must abide.

Zionism is the movement for Jewish self-determination and asserts the inerrant and internationally acknowledged right for Israel to exist according to UN Watch and a call for the elimination of Zionism and the state of Israel is blatantly anti-Semitic.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Calls for the elimination of Zionism and the state of Israel by the UNHRC (United Nations Human Rights Commission) is a step closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the End Times.

The Arab charter, which equates Zionism with racism and calls for the state of Israel to be eliminated, is on the agenda in the United Nations and has been endorsed by the High Commissioner on Human Rights. This Arab charter is blatantly anti-Semitic according to United Nations Watch and the Jewish people as well who are concerned. They want to see this charter changed to deal with this type of language.

The Arab charter, if ratified, will set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Zechariah wrote that during a period of judgment yet to come on this Earth, two out of every three Jews will be killed, Zechariah 13:8. Revelation 12:13-17 reveals a time when there will be an effort to wipe out all Jews. Daniel wrote that the Lord Himself will dispatch the Archangel Michael to protect the Jews from total elimination in the Last Days, Daniel 12:1.

The United Nations endorsed Arab charter that calls for the elimination of Israel is evidence that Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

The construction of the Temple is under way in Jerusalem

A grandiose museum featuring an elaborate massive replica of the Jewish Temple is currently being erected opposite the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a construction project which is valued at nearly 20 million dollars.

The museum will feature a journey through Jewish history from the days of Abraham to the present, emphasizing the message and significance of the Jewish people's presence in the land of Israel. The museum's curator said that this will be an audio/visual experience incorporating smells so that the act of entering the Temple will be done with awe of God.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The construction project to build a replica of the Jewish Temple just opposite the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

A yeshiva, a Jewish seminary, located in Jerusalem has the funding, 20 million dollars, to replicate the Jewish Temple just off the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the project is now underway. This Temple replica will give visitors the opportunity to experience what the previous Jewish Temples would have looked like while at the same time be a reminder of the fact that one day there will be a Temple standing on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Visitors to the museum will also learn the history of the Jewish people in the land of Israel, the land which God gave His chosen people, and this will be done with a presentation using the latest in high-tech.

The building of a Temple replica just opposite where the real Temple will one day be built does make vivid the reality of a coming Temple for the Jews in Jerusalem. Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1 speak of a Temple that will be built during the terrible Tribulation Period, a seven year period of judgment on the Earth in the future. By the way, all the preparations have been made to build this Temple. Ezekiel 40-46 reveals the Messiah's Temple that will be built in Jerusalem, a Temple that Jesus will build when He returns to the Earth.

This Temple replica in the museum in Jerusalem is indeed a reminder that there will be a real Temple in Jerusalem and possibly very soon.

The Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Agrees to give the Golan Heights up to Syria for a peace agreement

Reports that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was using a third party to communicate to Syria that Israel would give up the Golan Heights for a peace deal surfaced first on a Damascus based internet site but now has been confirmed by Syrian President Bashar Assad.

It has been learned from President Assad that the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan had informed the Syrian president of Israeli Prime Minister Olmert's agreement to cede the Golan Heights for a peace agreement.

This diplomatic activity coming at the same time that there had been rumors of Syria massing it's military might for a possible war with Israel and in light of warnings from Iranian President Ahmadinejad for Syria not to give in to the enemies of Islam, who will soon face total destruction.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As Syria and Israel talk peace and the evacuation of the Golan Heights, one must remember that Bible prophecy reveals Syria as the first of the nations that will try and destroy the Jewish state in the last days.

Reports of diplomatic activity between Syria and Israel have recently surfaced; however, the truth be known, Israeli Prime Minister Olmert has been working through a third party for over a year to bring the two Middle East nations to the negotiating table.

That third party, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan told Syrian President Bashar Assad that Olmert was ready to give up the Golan Heights for a peace deal. That announcement made public has the Israeli Knesset scrambling to pass a law calling for a national referendum to approve such a move, and the latest polls indicate that 80% of the body politic of Israel is opposed to giving up the Golan Heights.

That said, let me remind you of the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy on this matter. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote 2500 years ago that Syria, the King of the North in Daniel 11:40, would be the first Middle East nation to attack the Jewish state with a mindset to destroy Israel.

Daniel 11:40-44 lists the other Middle East states that will join Israel in this military mission and it includes the nation of Iran. Diplomatic talks aside, Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

The construction of the temple is underway right now in Jerusalem

A grandiose museum featuring an elaborate massive replica of the Jewish Temple is currently being erected opposite the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a construction project which is valued at nearly $20 million dollars.

Adolph Hitler of Nazi Germany is 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.

New intelligence report reveals Moslem Antisemitism is a strategic threat to Israel

According to a recent intelligence report, Moslem Antisemitism is growing in scope and extremism to the point that it has become a credible, strategic threat to Israel and Israeli policy makers are concerned with the potential danger this may pose to the Jewish state.

The report indicates that by educating generations of Moslems with a deep animus toward Israel and Jews, this Antisemitism actively propagated by many Arab and Islamic states in the Middle East holds back the peace process and normalization efforts between Israel and Moslem countries. The report says this is prejudice that is evil, it is ideological incitement by states and organizations with the practical means of translating it into evil action.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A growing Antisemitism among the Moslem states in the Middle East is not only a strategic threat to Israel, but a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The recent intelligence assessment that was released by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center reported that Moslem Antisemitism is growing in scope and extremism and Israeli officials are on alert due to the strategic threat this phenomenon poses to the Jewish state. The basis for this growing Antisemitism among Moslems, according to the report, is coming from strictly Islamic reasoning. It's an Anti-Jewish hatred developed through new interpretation of Islamic history and the Scriptures.

Indeed, a study of Biblical history of two men, Isaac and Ishmael, will give us better understanding of this strategic threat. Isaac had a son named Jacob who had twelve sons, the twelve Tribes of Israel, which are the Jewish people of today. Ishmael also had twelve sons, but did not father the Arab world, instead Ishmael went to Arabia and fathered one nation, Genesis 17:20. He fathered the modern-day state of Arabia which is the birthplace for the Islamic faith.

A hatred that goes back 4,000 years is the reason for Islamic Antisemitism, which Bible prophecy said would indeed come to pass.

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 of 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 will 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 and soon is close to what Bible prophecy calls for in the last days. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Pope Benedict used the UN to advance a Catholic culture

The leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict, while traveling across America, made his principle theme the recovering of a distinctive Catholic culture which he made clear in his liturgy, but it was also underscored with his calls for a stronger Catholic education and a more powerful Catholic presence in the public square culture as a way of cultivating a mindset, an intellectual culture which is genuinely Catholic.

For his part, Pope Benedict embraces cultivating a Catholic identity which is based not so much on externals, but on the church's living traditions making an old world religion work with the vitality of new world spirituality.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Pope Benedict's trip to America and his effort to create a Catholic culture in today's society is a precursor to an End Time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The holding of a Catholic Mass in a Major League Baseball stadium, thousands of the Catholic faithful at the White House with the President and the Pope and a trip to New York City to address the UN General Assembly allowed the Pope to propagate his principle theme on his trip to America, "The cultivation of a Catholic culture in today's society."

The world's most powerful religious leader, Pope Benedict on his first trip to America as the Pope, impacted those Catholic faithful with a renewal of their traditional beliefs dictated by the church and encouraged others to embrace the lifestyle that Catholicism projects to all the world. Pope Benedict's trip to America emphasized his belief that the Catholic Church is the only true Church in the world today.

This report reveals an End Time scenario that is right from the pages of Bible prophecy. Let me, at the outset say I am not predicting that the Pope and or the Catholic Church are an absolute fulfillment of Bible prophecy, but when one studies Revelation 17, there is a better understanding of how that prophecy could be fulfilled and in the very near future. The prophet John wrote 2,000 years ago of a one-world religion in the Last Days that will be headquartered in Rome, Italy, Revelation 17:9. This false religion started 4,500 years ago in Babylon would be led by a Charismatic leader, the Antichrist, who in Revelation 17 is referred to eight times with the ame "The Beast".

Pope Benedict and the Catholic Church are indeed a prototype of how Revelation 17 will one day be fulfilled.

An Arab member of the Israeli Knesset has called for the liberation of Jerusalem by the Moslem world

At the Jerusalem First Conference, recently held in Ramallah in the area of Judea and Samaria, the chairman of the United Arab List - Israeli Knesset member Ibrahim Sarsour - called on all Arabs and Moslems to focus their energies on the future of Jerusalem and act in concert to become a torrent on the road to liberating Jerusalem.

Sarsour emphasized the religious importance of Jerusalem for the Moslems and said that Israel's plans for the Temple Mount and around the city must be resisted. The Arab Knesset member recalled how the Moslems liberated Jerusalem during the Crusades and said it could be done today, that the liberation of Jerusalem is not an impossible mission and it must be done.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call for the Moslem world to liberate Jerusalem by an Arab member of the Israeli Knesset is actually a call for the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The status of Jerusalem for a negotiated peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians has always been pushed to the end of any agenda for peace talks between the two parties. Every Israeli PM from the very beginning of the modern-day state of Israel has said that Jerusalem is the undivided, eternal capital of the Jewish people. The Palestinian leadership as well has called for Jerusalem, if not all of it at least a portion of the holy city, to be the capital any future Palestinian state. With the call by an Arab member of the Israeli Knesset for the Moslem world to rise to the occasion and liberate the city of Jerusalem from the Israeli occupation, it has ratcheted up the discussion several notches.

This scenario is exactly what the ancient Jewish prophets wrote down 2,500 years ago would happen at the time of the end. Zechariah said that there would be those who would become arrogantly secure in their control of the city of Jerusalem, that's Zechariah 1:15. Joel, another Jewish prophet, wrote that a mighty Moslem militia would come to Jerusalem to liberate the holy city and take it away from the Jewish people, that's Joel 2:2-3.

The call for Moslems to liberate Jerusalem is indeed a call for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Doomsday clock has been moved two minutes closer to the midnight hour

A group of scientists assessing the dangers to civilization have now added climate change to the prospects of nuclear annihilation as the greatest threats to humankind and the Doomsday Clock located in Chicago now stands at five minutes to the hour of midnight.

The directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist held discussions to assess this idea of doomsday threats to civilization and felt that the growing global nuclear instability has led humanity to the brink of a second nuclear age and that the threat posed by climate change is second only to that posed by nuclear weapons.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The assessment by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that we are closer to the midnight hour on the Doomsday Clock goes along with the prophetic scenario for the Last Days that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The concept timepiece, the Doomsday Clock devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, was first featured by the magazine some sixty years ago shortly after the US dropped its Atomic Bomb on Japan. According to the scientists, the threats most worrisome included: Iran's nuclear ambitions, North Korea's detonation of an Atomic Bomb, the presence of twenty-six thousand launch-ready weapons by America and Russia, and the inability to secure and halt the international trafficking of nuclear materials such as highly enriched uranium and plutonium.

The concept of a Doomsday Clock does draw ones attention to the reality of the End of the World scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. The seventeen ancient Jewish prophets in the Old Testament Scriptures reveal the Last Days scenario that alerts all students of Bible prophecy that Doomsday is quickly approaching; however, the Bible does not for the annihilation of all of humankind. Revelation 6:8-9 and 9:15 does however tell us that in the future Day of Judgment, one-half of Earth's population will die in a catastrophic way. Death and destruction is ahead for this Earth and its population according to the prophetic passages of Scripture.

The truth be known, that Doomsday clock may be a bit slow.

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.

Pope Benedict says that the Roman Catholic Church is the one church that Jesus Christ established on earth

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.

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.

Global Jihad is on the rise

Islamic expert and historian Bernard Lewis and former CIA director James Woolsey, both speaking at the Herzliya Conference in Israel, warned that global Jihad was on the rise, with Lewis adding that the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979 signified the first major victory in the global Islamic push toward that goal.

Lewis said that the whole Arab and Muslim world is experiencing the second stage of the Islamic revolution in Iraq and James Woolsey lamented the fate of Europe which he sees as already having been compromised in what he calls World War IV, the third having been the Cold War. Both Lewis and Woolsey warned that the Iranian Shiite sect is not the only threat posed by Islam, they included the radical Wahabism of the Sunni sect of Islam as well.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The warning of a global Jihad, a worldwide holy war, from a former director of the world's largest intelligence agency has a similarity to the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the End Times.

At the Herzliya Conference in Israel, a gathering of academics, politicos, military personnel and the media, the warning of a global Jihad on the near horizon rang out through the meeting halls of the conference confirmed by two experts on Islam. All of the Islamic world, including the Shiite sect as well as the Sunni sect are preparing for what the ancient Jewish prophet Joel revealed would happen in the Last Days.

Joel, in chapter 2:2-3, reveals the prophecy of the largest military militia ever to move on the Earth, they will make their way towards Jerusalem to destroy the Jewish state. This army will be a Muslim army as confirmed by the nations involved in the alignment of nations found in Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83. Ezekiel 38:18-39:6 says that this Muslim militia involved in global Jihad will be destroyed early on in the seven year Tribulation Period soon after the Rapture.

The warning of the rise of global Jihad is evidence we're quickly approaching the time when Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

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 reveals 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.

A wealthy Arab leader wants to put his city on the educational and economic world map

Speaking at the world economic forum held in Jordan recently, Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum - Vice President and PM of the United Arab Emirates, a Persian Gulf state - announced a 10 billion dollar donation to develop high quality research programs and centers and support for research in higher education institutions, the path to creating a generation of leaders in the Middle East.

Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is already referred to as the business capital of the Middle East and the sheikh wants to add to its leadership by developing an environment that brings researchers, students, scientists, investment professionals, and policy makers all within the same community.

As Dubai in the United Arab Emirate becomes an economic, scientific, educational center in the Middle East, there is evidence that Bible prophecy for such a center in that region is closer to fulfillment than ever before.

With half of the Arab world's population under the age of 20 and with the illiteracy rates still alarmingly high, the recent 10 billion dollar donation from Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum is sure to create generations of leaders in the region. Sheikh Mohammed's goal is to put together an environment for policy makers to come together with educational leaders and the economic financial leadership of the region and become a major force in our world.

The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote that during the End Times, knowledge will increase, Daniel 12:4. Another Jewish prophet, the Apostle John, wrote in the book of Revelation that the economic center of the world will be in the Middle East, Revelation 13:16, 17 and 18:3-16. John wrote that this educational economic center will be in the Middle East at the great city of Babylon, Revelation 18.

Dubai is quickly becoming a prototype of the city Bible prophecy described.

The number of religious believers in China could be 3 times higher than official estimates

In a recent survey taken by the Chinese State Media it has been revealed that more than thirty percent of the people of China above the age of sixteen consider themselves as "religious", which could be three times higher than what the Chinese officials had estimated.

This report suggests that three hundred million people nationwide in China could be religious, compared to the official figure of one hundred million, allowing this report to back up suspicions that religion has been enjoying a resurgence in China over the past twenty years and this as the communist party disapproval of the exercise of religion has eased up somewhat.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent survey taken in China of the country's religious beliefs revealed that even an atheistic nation is vulnerable to the spread of the truth as will be the case across the entire world in the future days of judgment, that according to Bible prophecy.

Reports in recent years coming out of Communist China indicated there were millions of Christians in the underground church that were being jailed or persecuted for their beliefs. Hundreds of missionaries have worked closely with this underground church to distribute Bibles, to witness to Chinese people in the street, and to otherwise try to spread the message of Christ to a needy people.

Now, the official Chinese media are reporting that the government's estimates may be way off with three times what they had estimated as the number of believers in China. What's unique about this report is that it is similar to the report that will come out of the Tribulation Period, a seven year period of judgment yet in the future, the time between the Rapture of the Church and the return of Jesus Christ to Earth.

The book of Revelation tells of two witnesses, two preachers, that will be located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the first half of the Tribulation Period and they will have a ministry that will turn people to Christianity and Jesus Christ, that's Revelation 11:3-7. Revelation 7:4-9 speaks of one hundred and forty four thousand Jewish men coming to Christ and then they will spread across the world to preach the gospel to everyone on Earth.

In fact, Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 that when everyone on Earth had heard the gospel during that seven year Tribulation Period, He would return to the Earth to setup His Kingdom.

A new movie and television special presents an Islamic Jesus to the Moslem world

A film producer, who shares the ideas of Iran's hard-line president, has produced what he says is the first film giving an Islamic view of Jesus Christ in a bid to show the common ground, he says, between Moslems and Christians.

The film, Jesus the spirit of Allah, and it's television version which will further explore the links between Jesus and the Immam Mahdi, the Moslem Messiah, who will usher in, with Jesus, a new era of peace and harmony.

The film and TV version of the Islamic Jesus says that Jesus was not crucified but was taken by Allah directly into heaven to await His return with the Islamic Messiah.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An Islamic Jesus, who did not die on a cross and resurrect from the dead, is not the Jesus of the Bible, and a film depicting such a Jesus to the Moslem world has great prophetic significance for the end times.

In an effort to make a bridge between Christianity and Islam, despite the stark divergence from Christian doctrine about the final hours of Jesus Christ before His death, the Iranian film producer believes he can open the door for dialog between Christians and Moslems.

The film, by saying that Allah saved Jesus from death on a cross with Judas taking His place, is a stark contradiction to the Bible records in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the foundation of the Christian faith.

The Apostle Paul wrote the Corinthians two thousand years ago that if Jesus Christ did not die and resurrect from the dead, He was not the Son of God and we Christians are still in sin, I Corinthians 15:1-20.

In that same letter to the Christians in Corinth, Paul wrote of the Rapture of the Church, I Corinthians 15:51-53, when Jesus will take us from Earth to Heaven to be with Him forevermore. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a must if the Rapture is to take place.

Anyone, Islamists or whomever, who says that Jesus Christ did not die and raise from the dead is of an Anti-Christ philosophy, I John 2. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

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

A Palestinian Authority radio contest featured a biography of Adolf Hitler, complete with his military victories and his heroism during WWI & WWII 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 Adolf 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 WWII, 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 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.

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.
