The Israeli Antiquities Authority is working on a project that will allow scientists to use space age NASA-like technology to bring to light the faded scripts of thousands of fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest existing record of the Old Testament.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, Israel's greatest archaeological find, were found in 1947 by a Bedwin shepherd boy near the ancient Jewish community of Kumran on the shores of the Dead Sea, a factor that actually helped preserve these ancient manuscripts. This NASA-like technology will allow for the preservation of the entire collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as the opportunity for scholars, religious leaders and any interested party to view these ancient manuscripts.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and now with NASA-like technology being used to read these ancient manuscripts, the world can read the words of ancient Jewish prophets who prewrote human history which is being played out today.
Scientists and skeptics have for years complained about not being able to have access to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Israel's Antiquity Authority has put in place a five year project that will give all interested parties the opportunity to view all the Dead Sea Scrolls and study the message found in these ancient manuscripts. Uniquely, all the books of the Old Testament are a part of the collection of scrolls except the book of Esther and there are multiple copies of many of the prophetic books. These prophetic books layout God's plan for the Jewish people for the "last days".
Time will not allow me to recite all prophetic scenarios, but only two examples. For example, the scroll of Ezekiel speaks of an "end time" regathering of the Jewish people to the land of their forefathers, Ezekiel 34-37. Jeremiah's scroll speaks of a terrible time in the future for the Jews, but promises that God will deliver the Jews from the "Time of Jacob's Trouble", Jeremiah 30-33.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are tangible evidence of Bible prophecy.

An internationally renowned Jewish author and inspirational speaker says that we should be preparing for the coming of the Messiah
Internationally renowned Jewish inspirational speaker and author, Esther Jungreis, is warning that the world is feeling the birth pangs of the Messiah and she warns that time is limited to prepare for the dark prophecies surrounding his arrival.
Jungreis, the founder of a Jewish outreach organization and author of many books, says that many people feel fear as global turbulent events begin to make their mark on Jews and their allies around the world. Jungreis tells her audiences and writes in her books that God is bringing the world closer to redemption with these labor pains which is a part of the process of the arrival of the Messiah.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The warning for the Jewish people to prepare for the coming of the Messiah by a Jewish inspiriational speaker and author is right in line with Bible prophecy for the last days.
According to Jewish history, there has been a number of times down through the centuries that the Jewish people have been warned to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. The New York City rabbi, the late Revi Sneerson, was presented by his followers as the Messiah. But as I mentioned, he is the late - the dead - Revi Sneerson. Esther Jungreis is now telling her Jewish audiences to prepare for the coming of the Messiah.
I believe Jungreis is correct. The Messiah is about to come - but for the second time. The Messiah I am referring to is Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Jewish people and, in fact, the entire world. The Bible says that the Messiah will come back to Earth when the Jewish people are returning to their homeland, Israel. The Muslims of the world want to drive the Jewish people from their lands when their is talk and effort to bring peace to the Middle East and when the Jews are preparing to rebuild their temple (Ezekiel 34 - 46).
All prophecies that will be fulfilled before the Messiah comes back to Earth are at that point of being fulfilled.

Two Israeli energy companies believe there is a major source of oil in the Judean Desert
Two Israeli energy companies: Genco Oil Explorations and Delek Energy Systems believe there is a major source of oil to be found in the Judean Desert near the southern end of the Dead Sea and they want to drill an exploratory hole 6,000 ft. deep to see if indeed they are correct.
The Israeli Parks Authority has in the past, granted permission for exploratory drilling, but environmental groups say any such drilling in this area would destroy the fragile ecosystem in this nature reserve which is the site of the potential oil source. Energy experts in Israel say there is oil around the Dead Sea because of its unique geological properties and in the area they would like to drill for oil near the Dead Sea, it is the likeliest place in Israel to find a major source of oil.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A major source of oil in Israel near the Dead Sea would play a key role in the "end times" scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.
For a number of years there have been speculators that have claimed there were major sources of oil in the land of Israel. Some of these speculators even used the Bible to substantiate their claims as to where this oil source was located. Now, two mainstream Israeli energy companies believe they know exactly where to find this major supply of oil and want to drill an exploratory hole to prove their belief, but they have run into opposition from environmentalists. It is logical that there would be oil nearthe Dead Sea because of its unique geological properties, but the Bible also lends creedence to this speculation as evidence by Genesis 14:10.
Prophetically, the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote in Ezekiel 38:4 of a hook in the jaw of Israel's enemies that would bring them into the land of Israel to take a spoil, Ezekiel 38:13.
Geopolitical events in our world today seem to have a common denominator and it is oil. This potential oil source in Israel could be that hook which will draw Israel's enemy into the land.

The Palestinians have proposed a one state solution that could mean the end of a Jewish state in Israel
The Palestinian negotiators for the Israeli-Palestinian talks are saying Israel's strategy in negotiations could force the Palestinians to abandon their goal of a two state solution and instead work towards a single state for Israelis and Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
Israeli leaders fear such an agreement would spell the end of the Jewish state of Israel because of the demographics which indicates the growth rate of the Palestinian people is much greater than that of the Jewish people. Even with the Israeli offer to withdraw from over 90% of Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, the Palestinians say the Israeli strategy for negotiations is not allowing the Palestinians to have their own state with connecting borders and Jerusalem as its capital, thus the proposal for a single bi-national state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With the recent suggestion of a single bi-national state of Israel made up of Israeli Jews and Palestinians, the world moves ever so close to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
With both the Israelis and the Palestinians frustrated with the ongoing negotiations between the two peoples there is an idea that is being floated by the Palestinian negotiator of a single bi-national state instead of the two state solution. This state, Israel, would have both Jewish and Palestinian citizens and the two peoples would have equal status in the state. The Israeli Jews believe this type of solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would only destroy the Jewishness of the state and because demographics bring about the demise of a Jewish state in the Middle East.
Bible prophecy spoke to this issue some 2,500 years ago when the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote that the Edomites of biblical times, the Palestinians of today, would take the state of Israel and the land from the Jewish people and make it their state, Ezekiel 35. Malachi, another Jewish prophet, in chapter 1 of his prophecy said that when the Palestinians did establish this state, the Lord would call their borders the borders of wickedness and have indignation against the Palestinian people.
These passages of prophetic truth fit the Palestinian plan for a one state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A group of American Christian leaders have launched a campaign against Christians who support Israel
What the media refers to as leftist American Christian leaders have launched a full-scale public relations campaign against Christians who support Israel who these Christian leaders call, "Christian Zionists."
A brochure being distributed to approximately 45 million Americans charges that Christian Zionists foster fear and hatred of Muslims and non-western Christians and can lead to the dehumanization of Israelis and Palestinians. These church leaders that oppose the Christian Zionists claim that the security of the United States is being harmed because the absence of a Palestinian state encourages terrorist attacks against the United States as well as Israel.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
American churches divided in their support for the Jewish state of Israel is a forerunner to the prophetic scenario in the Bible for the End Times.
When American church leaders launch a full-scale public relations campaign against the element of the American Christian community that wholeheartedly supports the Jewish state of Israel, the world stands by and watches as the body of Christ moves away from total support to God's plan for the End Times.
The definition of a Christian Zionist is a true born again believer in Jesus Christ that accepts the prophetic scenario found in God's Word for the Jewish people in the last days. 2500 years ago, the ancient Jewish prophets wrote that in the last days, God would bring Jews from the four corners of the Earth to the land of their forefathers, the land of Israel (Ezekiel 34, 36, 37 Deuteronomy 30, and Jeremiah 31).
Revelation 17 speaks of a false religion in the last days that would fall under satanic influence and oppose the creation of a Jewish state in the Middle East and God's fulfillment of His promises to the Jews.
God promised Abraham, Genesis 12 and 15, that there would be a Jewish nation on the land that they now live on and they would live there forever. In spite of the public relations campaign launched by leftist American church leaders against these prophecies, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The division of Jerusalem is at the center of the status of the Israeli government
The ultra-religious orthodox party Shas has become the kingmaker in the political arena in Israel by refusing to join a coalition government led by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni because she could not guarantee that a newly formed Israeli government would not divide the city of Jerusalem.
The division of Jerusalem is on the table in the discussions between the Israelis and the Palestinians in order to bring about a peaceful resolution to the struggle by the Palestinian people to have their own state with at least a portion of Jerusalem as the capital of this Palestinian state. The potential government that would be formed by Livni would be ready to offer to divide Jerusalem which may cause the Israelis to go to early elections to determine the Israeli leadership for the near future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
An Israeli government that would once again divide the city of Jerusalem would indeed set the state for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Israeli Foreign Minister, Tzipi Livni, the newly elected head of the present ruling political party in Israel, has been trying for a number of weeks to form a coalition government where Livni would become Prime Minister. She has run into a major roadblock, the ultra-religions Shas party, who is refusing to join the coalition government unless they are assured that Jerusalem will not be divided.
This scenario has several interesting elements that fit right into the prophetic scenario found in Bible prophecy. There is the status of Jerusalem in the peace process - divided or united. Either way, Jerusalem is the center of controversy, a real burden to the politicians - and this was fortold in Zechariah 12:2-3.
There is also the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be considered in light of Bible prophecy. Ezekiel 35, Malachi 1, and the little book of Obadiah all reveal that the Israelis and the Palestinians, Biblical descendants of Jacob and Esau, will be in conflict in the last days.
Even the idea that God instituted human government is at play here and is also evidence that Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

An Islamic terrorist says he will not rest until Israel is destroyed
An Islamic terrorist and child killer, Lebanese national Samir Kuntar, recently released from an Israeli jail in a prisoner swap, says that he is more than ever committed to working to wipe the Jewish state off the map and he will not rest until Israel is destroyed.
Described as a monster in Israel, the killer of a 4 year old girl, Kuntar says that he is convinced that Israel is preparing a major attack against Lebanon and Israel does not realize what Hezbullah has in store for the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force when they do attack. Kuntar says that the idea that Israel is invincible - a secure state - is a myth and that the resistance against Israel will end only when the Zionist state disappears to be forgotten forever.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The desires of Israel's enemies to wipe the Jewish state off the map will not be seen. God will intercede to protect Israel according to Bible prophecy.
One terrorist leader after another announces to the world that the Jewish state of Israel will be wiped off the map and in short time this will happen. Osama Bin Laden, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, Hezbullah leader Nasrallah are all among those that say the Jewish state will be destroyed and they will play a key role in making this happen.
Now, another terrorist, child killer Samar Kuntar, from his seaside apartment outside just outside of Beirut, Lebanon says that he spends every day planning how he and his fellow terrorists can indeed destroy the Jewish state and their name be forgotten forever.
Interestingly, Bible prophecy reveals that in the last days many nations will attack Israel to wipe the Jewish state off of the map. Daniel, Ezekiel, and the writer of Psalm 83 all concur that Israel will come under attack. However, these same ancient Jewish prophets say God will intercede to protect his chosen people - the Jewish people (Daniel 12:1 and Ezekiel 39:1-6).
In fact, the enemies of Israel will be totally destroyed and the Jewish people will survive because God made a promise to that effect (Jeremiah 31:31-33).
Threats to wipe Israel off the map will fail. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A top Iranian Official has recommended that Iran make a preemptive strike against Israel, and to do it soon
Senior Iranian officials are recommending a preemptive strike against Israel to prevent an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear reactors in light of the recent threats by Israeli authorities which have strengthened this position.
Israeli cabinet member Shaul Mofaz, the Transportation Minister and a former Defense Minister, said last June that Israel would be forced to strike the Iranian nuclear reactors if Tehran continues to pursue it's uranium enrichment program, which the Iranians have continued.
Tehran recently set in place a new policy for responding to an Israeli attack on Iran. This policy would be to attack Israel alone with a mighty response, but Iranian officials are now considering this preemptive strike against the Jewish state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A preemptive strike against Israel, by Iran, is a page right out of Bible prophecy for the end times.
For a number of years Iran has been the main threat to Israel and as Iran continues to develop a nuclear weapon of mass destruction, that threat has only intensified. The Israeli government and military leaders have been preparing to make a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program, in fear that if they do not move to stop Iran, the Islamic Republic could bring about another holocaust of even greater proportions.
Now Iranian officials are considering a preemptive strike of their own to stop an Israeli attack. The rhetoric on both sides is only evidence that things are heating up between Iran and Israel. However, Bible prophecy sheds light on what will happen at some time in history.
The prophet Ezekiel wrote some 2500 years ago that Iran, mentioned in Ezekiel 38:5, as Persia, would be a major player in the alignment of nations that will go up against Israel in the last days. Other nations mentioned in not only Ezekiel, but Daniel and the Psalms, include Lebanon, home of Hizbullah, and Syria, both military partners with Iran.
The possibility of an Iranian preemptive strike against Israel, and that attack in the near future, is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Israeli archaeologist has unearthed biblical proof of the prophet Jeremiah in the ancient City of David
Dr. Eilat Mazar, professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the leader of the archaeological team digging at the City of David, has unearthed proof of another biblical story, this time a story of one of the ministers of King Zedekiah from the period of the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem.
A completely in tact seal impression or "bula" bearing the name of Pashur was uncovered only a few feet away from a second such seal which was found three years ago, this first seal also belonging to a minister of King Zedekiah. Dr. Mazar remarked that this archaeological find is absolutely fantastic and very special, and again gives proof of the authority and authenticity of the biblical account of the city of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity of the Jewish people.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Archaeological proof of the biblical book of Jeremiah has a historic significance as well as a profound prophetic significance for the Last Days.
The archaeological find of two different seal impressions with the names of two ministers in the court of the Jewish King Zedekiah dates back some 2,600 years ago and is of great historic significance. The two ministers are two of a number of men who encouraged King Zedekiah to put the prophet Jeremiah to death because he had prophesied that the king should surrender Jerusalem to the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar instead of fighting the invading army, Jeremiah 38:1-4.
Jeremiah 50-51, which reveals the total destruction of Babylon, is for today or at least in the near future as it relates to the modern day name for Babylon, the nation of Iraq. Revelation 18 reveals that Babylon, modern day Iraq, will be the international headquarters for the one-world, economic, political, governmental system led by the one-world dictator, the Antichrist.
All that we see unfolding in Iraq today is indeed setting the stage for the prophecies in Jeremiah against Babylon. The archaeological find in Jerusalem is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

US President Bush and European leaders agree on the fact that the world's financial system needs reform
At a meeting between US President George W. Bush, French President Sarkozy, and the European Commission President Barroso, held at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, these three world leaders agreed there are challenges facing the global economy and that there needs to be put in place a worldwide financial system that will take care of the present global financial crisis. The three leaders will approach other world leaders both from the richest nations of the world and the newly emerging economies such as China and India, and try to reach an agreement to avoid a repetition of the present crisis and at the same time, assure global prosperity in the future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call for a worldwide financial system that is the answer to the present global financial crisis by three major world leaders is a scenario that fits the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the last days.
The present worldwide financial crisis has caused world leaders to look for a solution for the crisis that has nations giving up their independence and looking for a global answer to the crisis. US President Bush, French President Sarkozy, and the leader of the powerful European Commission, President Barroso, have decided to travel the world and bring national leaders to the summit table to discuss the global system that must be put in place to resolve the present global crisis.
The emerging world financial powers, China and India, have already called for an international financial control and regulatory system to protect the economies of the world. This scenario is very similar to the scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the End Times.
Daniel 7 speaks of the Revived Roman Empire coming to power as an economic superpower led by a very powerful world leader. European Commission President Barroso called for French President Sarkozy to become that powerful permanent president of the European Union which is at least the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire. Revelation 13 and 18 says that this world leader will come to power because of a worldwide economic solution that prevents a global financial crisis.
World leaders calling for an international economic system at this time to resolve the global financial crisis does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Over 50,000 Jews gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing
The Western Wall Plaza near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was filled with over 50,000 Jewish worshipers. They were there to receive the priestly blessing from 2,000 Kohanim, supposedly direct descendants of the first high priest of the Jewish people, Aaron, the brother of Moses.

The 50,000 Jewish worshipers that gathered at the Western Wall Plaza near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and who received the priestly blessing, are tangible evidence that the stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Every year, during the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles, people gather in the Western Wall Plaza to receive the priestly blessing from the Kohanim, the family of men who qualify as those priests to serve in the next Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Two thousand of the 28,000 men preparing to serve in the next Temple were following the same procedure that was followed 3,000 years ago when King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
The reality that there are Jewish men who claim to be priests and descendants of Aaron, the first Jewish high priest, is evidence that we are close to having a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Ezekiel 40-46 and Zechariah 6:12 reveal that Jesus will return to Jerusalem to build His Temple to the exact specification of Ezekiel's Kingdom Temple. Notice I said "Kingdom Temple" which is to yet in the future. Before the Messiah's Temple, there will be a Temple in Jerusalem that preceeds the Kingdom, Daniel 9:27, Matthew24;15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1.
All preparations for the Tribulation Temple have been made. Those priests that gave the priestly blessing in Jerusalem are ready to serve in this next Temple, but before that, the Rapture, when Christ call Christians to be with him in the heavenlies.

The Islamic movement in Israel says seminars on the Jewish Temple are a danger to Islamic site
Islamic movement spokesman Zahi Nujidat says seminars offered by a Jewish organization on the third Temple endangers the al Aqsa Mosque, a holy site for the Islamic world.
This three-part seminar held throughout Israel with tens of thousands in attendance, included a virtual tour of the Temple Mount, an explanation of the daily Temple life as well as a job description for the kohanim, the priests. The Islamic spokesman said the seminars are a serious threat and a drastic move toward the establishment of a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in place of al Aqsa Mosque which is the third holiest site in Islam.

The Islamic outcry over seminars on the third Temple, being attended by tens of thousands of Jews in Israel, is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish movement has been holding seminars on the third Jewish Temple that have angered the Islamic movement in Israel who claims these seminars present a danger to their Islamic holy site, the al Aqsa Mosque. Al Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam, while at the same time it is the holiest site in Judaism and the location of the next Jewish Temple that is being prepared for right now. Both Islam and Judaism say they cannot share the Temple Mount. Only one religion can control the worship on this sacred piece of real estate; therefore, there will be a conflict over this site as was foretold by the ancient Jewish prophets.
Zechariah wrote 2,500 years ago that the Temple Mount would become intoxicating to those who control this spot and it would be a burdensome weight, Zechariah 12:2-3. The Psalmist wrote that the Lord has chosen this spot to dwell among the Jewish people forever, Psalm 132:13-14. Jesus will come to build His Temple on the Temple Mount, Zechariah 6:12, just after the Antichrist has built a Temple there and desecrated it, Daniel 9:27.
Conflict over the Temple Mount and a coming Temple does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Health officials warn of a killer flu pandemic that could kill 50 million
The British government report recently issued a warning that the world is failing to guard against the inevitable spread of a devastating flu pandemic which could kill 50 million people and wreak massive disruption around the globe.
The report attacked the World Health Organization (WHO) as being dysfunctional and it was critical of the international response to the threat of an outbreak of disease which could sweep across the globe and called for urgent improvements of the rapid response strategies. The report referred to international tourism which has reached 800 million people traveling every year providing fertile ground for pandemic spread of this killer disease.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The urgent warning of a killer flu pandemic in our world today is a precursor to a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for a future tomorrow.
The British government report warning of a killer flu pandemic that could kill up to 50 million people worldwide is a stark warning that health officials must pay attention to and make ready for such a devastating health crisis. The report says that WHO is not preparing for such an event to happen and thus has no strategy in place to help curb the spread of this deadly flu disease.
This warning must not be taken lightly, especially in light of the words of Jesus Christ and the prophetic passages that are found in the book of Revelation. In His Olivet Discourse, Jesus Christ warned of pestilence across the world as an indication of His soon return to the Earth, Matthew 24:7. This word pestilence means, "pandemic disease", a killer disease of pandemic proportions in our world. John the Apostle wrote 2,000 years ago in Revelation 6:7-8 that one-fourth of Earth's population would die and a pandemic killer disease would be a part of the cause for this massive death total.

European leaders believe Israel will strike Iran in November or December
European diplomats told the Financial Times that Western countries are discussing imposing financial sanctions on Iran in early November for fear of a possible Israeli military strike against the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities.
These diplomats will be joined by the US and its allies without the support of the UN as they impose these economic sanctions on Iran because they believe Tehran is accelerating its nuclear program which increases the chances for an Israeli military response. Israeli officials have said they cannot and will not allow Iran to develop a Nuclear WMD even if they must deal militarily with Iran by themselves.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Israel says they cannot allow for a nuclear Iran and they must stop them; however, Bible prophecy says divine intervention will stop Iran's desire to wipe Israel off the map.
Israeli intelligence agencies have said for years now that Iran is the biggest threat to the Jewish state. Israeli leaders told me they cannot allow Iran to develop a Nuclear WMD, they must respond to Iran and soon with a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Over the last six months, the world has witnessed that Iranian President Ahmadinejad has ratcheted up his radical rhetoric against Israel.
All of this talk of a military strike on Iran led by the IDF is a possible lead up to an actual attack, but according to Bible prophecy, Iran will be stopped by divine intervention. Ezekiel 38:5 mentions Persia as one of the nations that will attack Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation Period. Biblical Persia is Iran today, the focus of this discussion. Ezekiel 38:18-22 and 39:1-6 reveal that the Lord will intervene when Iran and the other member states of the coalition attack Israel and will destroy five out of every six of all the peoples of the nations attacking Israel, including Iran.

Iraqi Christians are fleeing their homes in fear of being killed
According to Iraqi officials, at least 900 Christian families have fled their homes, frightened by a series of killings by Muslim extremists and threats to convert to Islam or face death. The main focus of this persecution of Iraqi Christians is in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. The Iraqi Defense Minister has ordered more checkpoints in Christian neighborhoods, with additional security patrols and more aerial surveillance of Christian areas.
Iraqi officials say Iraqi security services and armed forces must protect the Christians because they are partners in the rebuilding of the war-torn nation of Iraq.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The killing of Christians in Iraq today is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in the future.
There have been reports of Christians being killed in Iraq since the days of Saddam Hussein. In fact, Hussein ordered the killings of thousands of Christians under his leadership. Since the fall of Saddam and the beginning of the insurgency, the Islamic struggle to take over Iraq, there has been an increase in the killings of Christians. This report indicates that even the present Iraqi leadership recognizes what is happening in Iraq's Christian community.
Bible prophecy predicts a time when believers in Jesus Christ will be killed in Iraq. Revelation 18 reveals that Iraq, (biblical Babylon), will be the economic, political, governmental center of the earth. Revelation 13 speaks of the world leader at that time, the Antichrist, forcing people to take a mark in their forehead or the back of their right hand in order to be able to buy and sell the necessities of life. Believers in Christ who refuse to take the mark will be killed, (Revelation 6:9, 20:4). This will happen during the reign of the Antichrist in Babylon.
Threats against Iraqi Christians and the slaughter of these believers in Christ today is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The EU has threatened to wipe England off the map and create a united Europe
The EU from their Brussels headquarters, is talking about a plan that would wipe England off the map and create a united Europe according to British officials who say the EU has revised a map that would divide up England and create a European superstate via the backdoor.
The plan would actually split England into three sections with additional land from other countries to create traditional regions, an endeavor by the EU to boost trade between the European nations. The EU has already named the three regions and selected the nations that would make up the regions which includes England, France, Ireland, Whales, and parts of Portugal, Spain and Scotland.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the EU moves ahead with a plan to setup regions in Europe made up of the member states of the EU, the student of Bible prophecy can see better the prophetic scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.
Over the years, the EU has come to its present membership of 27 different nations. Add to these 27 member states the 17 or 18 new states from the Mediterranean Union that has recently been formed and you have 44 to 45 member states that would make up a future EU, a powerful, political, economic, governmental force in our world. Libya's Colonel Gaddafi said recently this united Europe including the Middle Eastern states looks like the old Roman Empire which is the goal of the EU leaders. Gaddafi is pretty much on target. The ancient borders of the old Roman Empire match the borders of the expanded EU, a step closer to Bible prophecy being fulfilled.
Daniel, the ancient Jewish prophet, in chapters 2 and 7 of his prophecy, wrote 2,500 years ago of the revived Roman Empire as the major player in the Last Days and that would include the 10 toes of Daniel 2 and the 10 horns of Daniel 7.
The potential for regions in the EU, 10 regions as they are calling for, is indeed a scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

Jews in Jerusalem and around the world mark Judaism's Holiest Day, Yom Kippur
As Jewish people in Jerusalem and around the world stop for a fast day to mark Judaism's Holiest Day, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Israel shuts off the Palestinian territories and at the same time remembers the surprise assault by Egypt and Syria that sparked a war some 34 years ago.
The entire nation of Israel shuts down for the twenty-five hour fast as the Jews seek forgiveness from God for the last years transgressions, using the fast day in lieu of the Yom Kippur sacrifice at the temple since there is no temple in Jerusalem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Yom Kippur, the Jewish Holy Day of Atonement, looks back to Biblical times. It also has a prophetic significance, that is according to Bible prophecy.
As Jews in Jerusalem and around the world stop to observe the Jewish Holy day of Yom Kippur, they are reminded how the High Priest at the temple in Jerusalem would enter into the Holy of Holies with the sacrificial blood to pour it on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
During the ten days leading up to Yom Kippur, starting on Rosh Hashana, Jews were to seek forgiveness from family, friends, loved ones and neighbors for any trespass over the last year.
This act of seeking forgiveness is a part of the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, as the Jews seek to be included in the Book of Life and during temple times their sins would be covered for one year, until the next Yom Kippur.
Now without the Temple, Jews give money, do good deeds and pray, along with the twenty-five hour fast on Yom Kippur. Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah, will in the future fulfill the prophetic aspect of Yom Kippur as He did the other Jewish Feast Days, in the spring, 2,000 years ago.
Jesus was crucified on Passover, buried on Unleavened Bread, and rose from the dead on the Feast of First Fruits. Jesus, in the future, will come back to earth on Rosh Hashana, and ten days later will enter the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, for the purpose of giving salvation to all Jews at that time, Zechariah 3:9 and Ezekiel 43:1-7. Indeed Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The French FM visits Israel to revive the peace process
French FM Bernard Kouchner was in Israel to meet with the Israeli and Palestinian leaders with hopes of reviving the peace process to bring resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a process that seems to be stalled with the political situation up in the air with the Israeli government and the PA.
Israel is working to put together a new government, while at the same time, the PA President Mahmoud Abbas will be up for reelection in several months. Meanwhile, the chief Palestinian negotiator says there will be no peace deal without Jerusalem and the Israeli government seems to be holding fast to the notion of not dividing Jerusalem so the Palestinians can have a capital for a new state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The ongoing efforts of world leaders to bring a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems to be futile, which is exactly what Bible prophecy calls for in the Last Days.
President Bush has been working on a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians hoping for an agreement to be in place before he leaves office in January 2009. In fact, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has made numerous trips to Israel to try and pull together a peace agreement between the two parties. In the face of this effort, the chief negotiator for the Palestinians said there will be no deal without a portion of Jerusalem as the capital for the Palestinian state.
This scenario unfolding today in this peace process reflects the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Malachi 1 reveals that the Israelis and the Palestinians, the descendants of Jacob and Esau, will continue to have conflict until the very end, the very end of the seven year Tribulation Period. Obadiah, the ancient Jewish prophet, says the conflict will end only when Jesus Christ, the Messiah returns to earth. Zechariah 12:2-3 says Jerusalem will be the center of the controversy and the conflict.
The present status of the peace process is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Tough US Economy is Promoting Aliyah
With a strong Israeli economy, and the dropping stock markets in the US, Israeli officials believe that we are on the brink of a new wave of immigrants that will moving to Israel. In Israel, the economic situation has a great future, with the tourist trade and high technology industries doing well and growing rapidly. Israel’s economy looks to have a bright future, especially when compared to the approaching recession in the United States.
It is believed that with this financial crunch, especially the very religious “Ultra-orthodox” Jewish community will awaken and remember the biblical imperative of immigration to Israel.
Jimmy’s Prophetic Prospective on the News
It doesn’t matter whether Jewish people move to Israel because of a financial crunch, or because the Bible says they must. The end result is that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
Over the last hundred years, Jews from all over the world have moved to Israel. The reborn Jewish state, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2008, has seen some great periods of Aliyah. Aliyah is the Hebrew word for Jewish people immigrating back to Israel. The big wave of immigration during the 1990s was from Russia - with about 1.3 million Russian Jews immigrating to Israel. There was another wave from Ethiopia, which spanned several years. Following World War II and the Holocaust, Jews from Europe came in great numbers to help establish the Jewish State.
This report is evidence that Bible prophecy is indeed in the process of being fulfilled. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote some 2,500 years ago that the Lord would find the Jews where ever they had been scattered and gather them back to Israel. The Lord says 18 times in Ezekiel 34 that He will find His people and bring them into the land. Ezekiel 36, which refers 35 times to the land of Israel, says that the Jewish people would be brought back into the land of their forefathers - the land where they are living today - the Jewish state of Israel.

Jewish men are being fitted for priestly garments to serve in a soon coming Jewish Temple
The Temple Institute (www.templeinstitute.org) started preparing to build a third Temple on Jerusalem's Mount Moriah, the site of the Dome of the Rock, by inaugurating a workshop that manufactures priestly garments to be worn by the Jewish priests who will serve in a third Jewish Temple to be built in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Yehuda Glick, Director of the Temple Institute, said when the Temple is rebuilt, Kohanim, members of the priestly family, must wear the proper outfit to perform the obligations at the Temple. Priestly garments have not been worn since the destruction of the second Temple by the Romans in 70 AD and cannot be functional until a third Temple is constructed.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Preparing priestly garments for Jewish men to wear as they serve in a third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem is evidence as to how close we are to the Return of Jesus Christ.
As the Temple Institute in Jerusalem prepares the priestly garments for those who claim to be members of the priestly family, the final steps for restoring Temple worship in a third Temple are being taken. Years of diligent research has been done to create the garments in accordance with Jewish law. Politically, those preparing to build the third Temple have a nightmarish situation with the Dome of the Rock on Al Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site, sitting on the spot where the next Jewish Temple is to be rebuilt
Even though the building site for the next Jewish Temple is a major hurdle, those preparing for the rebuilding of the third Temple say God will take care of that problem and these same Jews say they have everything else ready to operate the next Jewish Temple. This next Jewish Temple to stand on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is not the one Jesus Christ will build, Zechariah 6:12, but will be the Temple of the seven year Tribulation Period spoken of in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 11:1 and II Thessalonians 2:4.
As evidenced by this report all preparations have been made for the next Temple in Jerusalem.

Russian President Medvedev: US financial crisis is a sign that America's global leadership is drawing to a close
Predicting the end of the US domination, Russian President Medvedev says the present financial crisis in the US is a sign of the end of America's global economic leadership which is an argument many world leaders have been making for some time.
Medvedev says the US crisis is evidence that times when one country can dominate are gone for good, arguing that the American style of capitalism is to blame for the crisis. The Russian president called what has happened in America "financial egoism", a position echoed by many European nations including Germany, one of Europe's strongest economies.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Russia's accusation that America's present financial crisis has diminished the dominant position of the US on the world stage is actually evidence that Bible prophecy is moving closer to fulfillment.
Russia is not the only nation that claims the present financial crisis in America is taking a giant step towards removing the US from its dominant position on the world stage. Truth be known, the financial markets around the world have suffered because of the US crisis. Because of this seemingly fall from global leadership, the US may be slipping in its superpower status.
This scenario leads me to the question that is most asked in any Bible prophecy Q and A. Where is America in Bible prophecy? My answer is that the US is not mentioned in Bible prophecy with maybe the exception of Zechariah 14:2 where the prophet says all nations will be gathered at Jerusalem just before Jesus Christ returns to the earth, Zechariah 14:4. My belief, based upon my many years of study of Bible prophecy, is that the Rapture of the Church will render America inoperative and cause the US to fall from its power position.
We may well be watching the beginning of the end for the US superpower status preceded by the Rapture.

Truth be known, the financial markets around the world have suffered because of the US crisis. Because of this seemingly fall from global leadership, the US may be slipping in its superpower status.
This scenario leads me to the question that is most asked in any Bible prophecy Q and A. Where is America in Bible prophecy? My answer is that the US is not mentioned in Bible prophecy with maybe the exception of Zechariah 14:2 where the prophet says all nations will be gathered at Jerusalem just before Jesus Christ returns to the earth, Zechariah 14:4. My belief, based upon my many years of study of Bible prophecy, is that the Rapture of the Church will render America inoperative and cause the US to fall from its power position.
We may well be watching the beginning of the end for the US superpower status preceded by the Rapture.

Israeli military: Syria has restarted its nuclear program to produce weapons of mass destruction
According to Israeli military sources, Syria has restarted its nuclear program with the aspirations of developing a Nuclear WMD this coming one year after Israel allegedly bombed a partially constructed nuclear reactor deep in the heart of Syria.
It seems that Syrian President Bashar Assad has redoubled his efforts to develop a nuclear program based on the Iranian model of simultaneously building multiple facilities in various sites throughout his country. There are reports that these new nuclear facilities are being built with the backing of North Korea and with the help of a group of Iranian experts who have arrived in Syria to join the nuclear project.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A restart of the Syrian nuclear program with the goal of a Nuclear WMD is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
One year ago, the world watched as the Israeli Air Force entered Syrian airspace and allegedly destroyed a nuclear facility being built by the North Koreans. This facility, deep in the heart of Syria, was in the process of preparing a Nuclear WMD that has been delayed until now. Syrian President Bashar Assad, with aspirations to become a nuclear power in the Middle East, seems to have restarted his nuclear development program this time using the Iranian model, setting up nuclear facilities in various locations with one goal in mind, a Nuclear WMD at Israel's northern border.
This is a scenario that was described 2,500 years ago by the ancient Jewish prophet, Daniel. In Daniel 11:40-43, the prophet calls for the King of the North, modern day Syria, to attack its neighbor, the Jewish state of Israel. In fact, Syria, according to Bible prophecy in Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83, is the nation to make the first move against Israel in the Last Days and to be followed by the rest of the Arab and Moslem world as foretold in Bible prophecy.

Vladimir Putin says America's inability to deal with the financial crisis is affecting the global economy
In remarks unlikely to go down well in Washington, Russian PM Vladimir Putin lashed out at the US and said that its inability to deal with the financial crisis is affecting the global economy and Mr. Putin said everything happening in the economic and financial world started in the US.
Putin said this is a real crisis that the whole world is facing and we see America's inability to take appropriate decisions. The truth be known, highly leveraged Russian companies have been hit very hard by the credit crunch which has made it virtually impossible to secure borrowing abroad.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The fact that Russian PM Putin is accusing the US financial crisis for a global economic crisis is a page out of Bible prophecy.
The accusations against the US for failure to deal with its financial crisis coming from Russian PM Putin is impart motivated by Russia's own potential financial crisis. The fact that Russian companies are so highly leveraged has caused a domestic problem for Russia that can only be eliminated when this credit crunch created in America is dealt with and solved. In reality, this financial crisis that has become global has only become another stage from which PM Putin can blast the US leadership in the world and move himself into the forefront in global leadership.
This is another venue for Putin to bring Russia back into the position of a major world power, which is what Bible prophecy calls for in the Last Days. Ezekiel 38:2 mentions Magog, that would be the nation we know today as modern day Russia, and Russia will be a major world player leading up to and right after the Rapture of the Church. Revelation 13:12-17 and chapter 18 reveals that the global economy will be a significant factor in the Last Days.
