Millions of Iraqis are expected to vote in regional elections in the first countrywide elections since 2005 and a full scale security clampdown is in place in Iraq with the United States military in heavy troop deployment in the streets of Iraq. These elections are being seen as a test of Iraq's improving stability and a guide to the general elections later this year when the leadership of the rebuilding war torn nation will approve its leadership or replace them.
The level of violence around Iraq is significantly lower than in past years, however, Iraqi and US military commanders have, in recent days, warned that Al Qaeda poses a threat to the elections especially in the northern city of Mosul, a oil rich community in the Kurdish region of Iraq.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As regional elections take place in war torn Iraq the prophetic scenario for Iraq is coming better into focus as we quickly approach the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
On the very first day of the new United States administration under President Obama, the events at the White House spoke to the importance of this situation in Iraq. President Obama met with his military leaders and discussed the situation in Iraq and what to do next. America's role in rebuilding Iraq was on the agenda for that discussion as well as the regional and national elections in Iraq. These elections are part of the process to not only rebuild this Middle Eastern nation but to bring stability to Iraq in the Middle East.
This report is evidence of how Iraq is being prepared for its role in the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Revelation 18 reveals that Iraq, Biblical Babylon, must be a prosperous, stable nation during the last three and a half years of the seven year Tribulation Period. Babylon will be the political, governmental, and economic capital of the world led by the world dictator known as the Antichrist. However, Iraq will only be rebuilt so that they can be destroyed (Isaiah 13 -14, Jeremiah 50-51, and Revelation 16:17-20).
Iraq's elections are indeed one aspect of the process to have the stage set in the Middle East for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says that a divided Jerusalem would guarantee an Iranian presence in the holy city
Speaking at the sixth annual Jerusalem Conference in the holy city, the former Israeli Prime Minister told the delegates gathered from all over the world that if the Israeli government allows for the division of Jerusalem to appease the Palestinians then it was an absolute that there would be an Iranian presence in the holy city of Jerusalem.
Netanyahu stated that the involvement by Iran in the 23 day war in the Gaza Strip with the training of Hamas militants and the supply of weapons and munitions to Hamas was evidence that the Iranian factor must be realized in the division of Jerusalem with a portion of the city under Palestinian control.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A divided city of Jerusalem with an Iranian presence in the city is a precursor to several prophetic scenarios for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy.
The Palestinians have insisted from the very beginning that when they set up their Palestinian state Jerusalem, or at least some portion of it, must be the capitol of their state. Recently, the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told Palestinian leaders he was sure that the Palestinians would get at least some portion of Jerusalem even including the Temple Mount, a holy sacred site to the Jewish people.
Former Prime Minster Netanyahu is right on target in his assessment of a divided Jerusalem having an Iranian element inside the Jewish capitol. In fact, Bible prophecy concludes that the city of Jerusalem even without the Iranian factor is going to be the center of controversy in the last days.
Zechariah 12:2 says that Jerusalem will be an intoxication for those who control the Temple Mount. Verse 3 says that it will be a heavy weight, a burdensome issue in the last days. Zechariah 1:14-16 talks of the Lord's aggressive possessiveness of the city and His displeasure with those who are arragantly secure controling the Temple Mount, the Palestinian people of today.
The Lord, in Zechariah 1:16, says that He will return to Jerusalem and build His temple in the holy city. Rest assured, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Pope has launched a Vatican site on YouTube
Pope Benedict decided he must use modern day technology to reach the world and its digital generation, so he has launched his own dedicated channel on the popular video sharing website, YouTube.
Although the Vatican has its own website, the YouTube venture represents its biggest reach into cyberspace aimed at everyone from devout Catholics to the casual web browser with video and audio footage of the Pope's speeches as well as news from Pope Benedict.
Working in collaboration with YouTube's owner, Google the Vatican will supply a variety of material for its new channel and the Catholic church will retain full control of the content.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A worldwide video channel on YouTube from the Vatican in Rome is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
One of the fastest growing websites in cyberspace today is YouTube. It gives all people an opportunity to produce video programs for the world to view. We here at Prophecy Today avail ourselves to this unique outlet. And now, the announcement of Pope Benedict launching his own YouTube channel in an effort to reach the world with the message from the Vatican in Rome, Italy. As I mentioned, this is not only a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, it is almost like reading from the pages of the Bible's prophetic passages.
The Apostle John wrote in Revelation how in the Last Days a religious leader will indeed be headquartered in Rome and cause the world to worship as part of a one world religion, Revelation 17. The religious leader will be the Beast of Revelation 17 better known as the Antichrist. This false world religion will be the mother-son cult worship which was started at Babylon 4,500 years ago, Revelation 17:5 and Genesis 11:4.
I do not believe the Pope is the leader spoken of here, but I do believe his launch of the YouTube channel does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The UN has set aside a day to remember the victims of the Holocaust
At the General Assembly hall in the UN headquarters in New York City, all the UN member states pause one time a year on January 27th to remember victims of the Holocaust during WWII and in an effort to reject any denial of the Holocaust as an historical event, and at the same time condemn without reservation all manifestations of religious intolerance wherever they occur.
The UN chose January 27th, the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Death Camp as an annual international day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Holocaust and have urged their member states to instill the memory of the tragedy in future generations to prevent genocide from occurring again.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even though the UN marks Holocaust Remembrance Day to say to the world "never again", the prophetic Word of God says the worst Holocaust for the Jewish people is yet to come, according to Bible prophecy.
For over sixty years, the Jewish state of Israel has been setting aside one day a year to honor and remember the victims of the Holocaust, an historic event that has touched every Jewish person on earth. Several years ago, the UN decided to join the chorus of "never again" and they proclaimed January 27th every year as the international day of commemoration in honor of the victims of the Holocaust. The UN not only holds a special event at the General Assembly Hall in New York City, but they have put forth effort to have all member states to educate their nation of the terrible time of the Holocaust.
Though the UN resolution for the Holocaust Remembrance Day rejects another Holocaust and says "never again", Bible prophecy reveals that there will be another Holocaust worst than the last. Zechariah 13:8 says that during a seven year period of time of judgment on the earth in the future, two out of every three Jews will be killed. Revelation 12 reveals that Satanic powers will go forth to slaughter the Jewish people around the world. Only the return of the Jewish Messiah will stop the complete annihilation of the Jewish people.
Holocaust Remembrance Day is a reminder of the past and the terrible future.

Jewish men are being fitted for priestly garments so that they can serve in a soon coming 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.

Hamas rejects President Obama's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution - even as the US names a new Middle East peace envoy
A spokesman for Hamas says that the United States President Obama is not an agent of change as the new president stated that the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire can only be effective if Hamas stops firing rockets into Israel from Gaza, an action that the Palestinian terrorist group rejects in their struggle against Israel.
This word comes from Hamas even as Obama named former senator George Mitchell as the new peace envoy to the Middle East with the express mission to bring about peace between these two parties, Israel and the Palestinians, a task that no previous United States administration has been able to do even with all of their fine efforts.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, especially in light of the division between the two Palestinian factions, Hamas and Fatah, these conflicts are both setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
President Obama made it very clear that he would be involved in the process of bringing a peacful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from day one of his administration. The very first act of the new president was to phone the Middle East and all the parties involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On day two, President named former senator George Mitchell as the new Middle East Peace Envoy with the mandate to bring the two parties together to negotiate a peace deal. Mitchell's main concern is the division in the body politic of the Palestinian people, the disunity between Hamas and Fatah.
Malachi 1 says that the Palestinians, Edomites in Biblical times, will return to rebuild. Ezekiel 35 says that they will kill the Jewish people and take the land that God has given to the Jews. Obadiah says that the conflict will continue and only intensify until Jesus Christ comes - then the Jews will be victorious (Obadiah 16-18).
President Obama and Senator Mitchell may want to bring resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but only the Lord can do that when Bible prophecy is fulfilled.

French President Sarkozy will hold a global peace summit on the Middle East
An international peace summit on the Middle East to help advance the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks will be hosted in Paris, France by French President Sarkozy and will be held a few weeks after a meeting of European foreign ministers due to take place in Egypt in February. Sarkozy seeks to capitalize on the momentum created by the participation of European leaders at a recent summit at Sharm el Sheikh on the Red Sea coast in Egypt, a summit attended by German Chancellor Merkel and British Prime Minister Brown, two of the main leaders in the European community.
The goal of the global summit on the Middle East will be to reach a peace accord within a year.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A global summit on the Middle East hosted by French President Sarkozy is as close to the prophetic scenario found in God's word as possible without being the real thing - according to Bible prophecy.
Even though French President Sarkozy is no longer the temporary president of the European Union, he continues to act as if he is with all of his plans and actions for the future. Sarkozy has been the most active leader of the European Union on a global scale with his guidence through the international summit on the global economic crisis and now this announcement that the French president will host the summit on the Middle East in Paris. Even the new United States President, Barack Obama, made his first official phone calls to Middle East leaders: Egyptian President Mubarak, Jordan's King Abdullah, Palestinian Authority President Abbas, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert.
This description of current events is in lockstep with the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel describes a scenario where the old Roman Empire is revived, they select a world leader to take them into the future, and this world leader does bring together peace in the Middle East (Daniel 7:7-24, 9:27). The European Union is by all definations at least the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire and the Lisbon Treaty of the European Union calls for a powerful president to lead them into the future.
This call by President Sarkozy for a global summit on the Middle East does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

On his first day in office, President Obama focuses on the global economic crisis and Iraq
After all the celebration of the historic inauguration of the first African American President of the US, President Obama moved quickly to face the challenges that loom heavy in the face of any progress the new administration might hope to make as they move into their four year term of office.
President Obama summoned his economic and military advisers including David Petreus, the Central Command Commander to the White House to deal with what the new president believes to be his priorities: dealing with the global economic crisis and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The events of January 20th in Washington, D.C., the innaguration of the first African American president, was celebrated by a record crowd in Washington and around the world as well. Now that all the celebration is over, the new US President is getting down to work on some major challenges: a global economic crisis and wars in the Middle East. In fact, meeting in the White House with his economic advisers and military leaders, President Obama is starting to deal with issues that have a great prophetic significance.
The global economic crisis is a major challenge for the new administration and a scenario that Bible prophecy said would be at the top of a world agenda in the Last Days. Revelation 13:16-17 reveals that the world will be required to buckle under to an economic system that requires they be marked on the forehead or right hand to buy or sell and to bring this about, there needs to be a global economic crisis in place. This global economic system will be in place according to Bible prophecy and it will be headquartered in Iraq which is biblical Babylon according to Revelation 18.

Today, the world world witnessed history being made as the first African American was sworn in as president of the US
As hundreds of thousands watched in person and millions around the world witnessed the historic swearing in of the first African American president of the US, the expectations for the events of the next four years are very high and the next president, President Barak Obama faces some great challenges both domestically and internationally as he assumes office in Washington.
Leaders of the EU are expecting to see a new US leader they believe is more in their mode of governing and these European heads of state look forward to working with President Obama to deal with the global economic crisis. At the same time, Middle Eastern leaders wait eagerly to see the direction the new president will take as he and his administration forge ahead in the task of bringing about peace in the Middle East before there is a region-wide war.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The historic event that took place in Washington, D.C., the swearing in of the first African American president, has not only historic significance, but prophetic significance as well according to Bible prophecy.
As millions, maybe even billions of people looked on as Barak Obama, the first African American to be sworn in as president of the US, there were tears of joy and hearts filled with expectations for the future. World leaders eagerly look forward to working with the new US president as they confront the problems in our world today.
I must remind you that God is still in control and there is no power that be except that ordained by God, Romans 13:1. Remember, God instituted human government, Genesis 9:6 and has used it down through the centuries to set this world in place for His plan to be played out. Revelation 17:17 reveals that God puts it in the hearts of world leaders to accomplish His will. That passage sets the stage for Babylon, Revelation 18, to become the center of economic and political power and necessitates a global economic crisis to prepare the world for this control to be headquartered in modern day Iraq.
President Barak Obama will indeed be used by God to set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Muslim and Arab world claim a victory for Hamas in the Gaza Strip
Over the weekend, the Israeli security cabinet voted to establish a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza which was followed by the beginning of the Israeli Defense Force moving out of the Gaza Strip contingent on Hamas also putting in place a ceasefire which seems to be the case at least at this time.
Meanwhile, the Islamic and Arab world leaders are claiming a victory for Hamas over Israel in Gaza as evidenced by a Hamas television broadcast by Hamas Prime Minister Ismael Haniyah who said that the Palestinians had achieved an historic and strategic victory over Israel. Arab and Muslim leaders throughout the Middle East praised Hamas for their victory over the Zionist regime and said that this was the beginning of the end for the Jewish state in the Middle East.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The proclaimation by the Arab and Muslim world that Hamas has achieved a victory over Israel in the Gaza Strip is a precursor to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
As soon as the Israeli government had implemented a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza, Hamas rushed to their television station to claim an historic and strategic victory over Israel in this three week war. Arab and Islamic leaders echoed the statement by Hamas Prime Minister Haniyah with Iranian President Ahmadinejad calling Hamas leaders and congratulating them on the Hamas victory which he said was the beginning of the end for the Jewish state of Israel and their satanic goals. Syrian President Assad said that Israel must now be considered a terrorist state. Saudi King Abdullah criticized Israel for using excessive force in Gaza. Hamas leader Mashaal, located in Damascus, Syria, said that the Palestinians would return and rebuild Gaza.
The ancient Jewish prophet Malachi wrote that the Edomites, the Palestinian people of today, would vow to rebuild and God said, through the prophet Malachi, that their borders would be the borders of wickedness. The Psalmist, in Psalm 83, reveals that Saudi Arabia would join forces with the Palestinians to rebuild and the Saudis have given one billion dollars to Hamas to rebuild.
Current events indicate that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Russia is seeking help from Israel's enemies to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza
The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, while saying that he believes all efforts to come to a ceasefire in Gaza even the Egyptian initiative must be supported, the Russian government has asked Iran and Syria to help persuade the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas to accept an Egyptian proposal on ending the fighting in Gaza. Russia maintains close ties with Tehran and Damascus and has official contacts with Hamas which is shunned by Western powers for refusing to abandon its objective of destroying the Jewish state.
The latest efforts by Russia are coupled with the French and United Nations efforts to bring about a ceasefire while, at least to this point, both Israel and Hamas are rejecting any ceasefire and the fighting continues in Gaza as Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel.

As the United Nations, Egypt, and France work to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza, the Russians are asking Israel's enemies to join the effort. This is an interesting scenario especially in light of Biblical prophecy.
As the fighting in Gaza continues and the Hamas rockets continue to hit Israeli targets in Israel proper, the efforts from world leaders intensify to bring about a ceasefire to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both Hamas and Israel have rejected all ceasefire proposals to this point including the United Nations resolution for an immediate stop to the violence.
UN Secretary General Ban-ki Moon is in the Middle East working to broker the ceasefire without success thus far. Now the Russian foreign minister has called on Iran and Syria, both sworn enemies of the Jewish state, to try to persuade Hamas to agree to the ceasefire.
There is a two-fold irony to the Russian request to Tehran and Damascus. Iran has trained the Hamas militants and supplied them with weapons and munitions for the fight. Syria houses the headquarters for Hamas in Damascus and refuses to deal with this terrorist element.
Prophetically, all the parties involved today have a key role in the end times scenario for a future tomorrow. Ezekiel 38:2 lists Russia, Magog in the text, as the leader of an alignment of nations to come against Israel. Ezekiel 38:5 reveals that Iran, Biblical Persia, will also be involved in the last days activities. Daniel 11:40-42 speaks of the king of the north, modern-day Syria, as a player in these events as well.
Present-day current events are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Iranian leadership believes that they are now entering the Apocalyptic Age
Speaking at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the renowned scholar and historian Bernard Lewis told his audience that Iranian President Ahmadinejad and the leadership of Iran believe they are now entering the Apocalyptic Age which will result in the triumph of their messianic figure.
Lewis said that Iran is a mortal threat and reminded those attending his lecture that Islam, like Judaism and Christianity, has an End Times scenario reminding them that holy war is a part of the Islamic religion and part of holy law. Lewis then added that the threat of many Iranians perishing in a war did not deter the Iranian leadership. They believe that death this way would give Iranians a free pass to the Islamic heaven.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The thinking by the Iranian leadership that they are now entering the Apocalyptic Age actually conforms to the End Times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.
The statement by the renowned scholar and historian, Bernard Lewis, that Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Iran's leadership believe they are entering the Apocalyptic Age is evidence that the Islamic world does have an eschatology, a theology that has an End Times scenario. The outdated concepts of M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) prevalent during the Cold War years, are irrelevant when it comes to Iran and its leadership. The Iranian president and his circle see such a scenario as an incentive, not a deterrent.
This apocalyptic desire of the radical Shiite Muslim is at the center of much of what's happening in the Middle East today and does fit into Bible prophecy. The ancient, Jewish, New Testament Prophet John wrote the book entitled, "The Apocalypse", or better known as the book of Revelation which describes the End Time Apocalyptic Age. Revelation 4:2 - 19:10 describes the seven year period of massive judgment on the face of the Earth. Revelation 19 describes the "Mother of all battles", "the Apocalyptic War", the Battle of Armageddon.
Ahmadinejad is correct, we are indeed entering the Apocalyptic Age.

Osama Bin Laden is calling for a Jihad, a holy war against Israel over the Gaza conflict
In an audio message on Islamists websites a new message has been posted reportedly from the Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden calling for all Moslems to launch a 'holy war', a jihad to stop the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
The recording also condemned Arab governments for preventing their people from acting to liberate Palestine and Bin Laden said the fate of the Moslem world is tied to the Palestinian fight against the Crusader-Zionist coalition and called for fighting until victory or martyrdom. In the tape, Bin Laden said Allah has bestowed Moslems with the patience to continue the path of jihad for another seven years and seven and seven.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Osama Bin Laden's call for 'holy war' for seven years against the Jews over the Gaza conflict is a page out of Bible prophecy.
In the latest posting by the Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the Islamist, fundamentalist, terrorist leader is calling for the entire Moslem world to rise up and become involved in a 'holy war', a jihad against the Jewish state of Israel because of what is happening in the Gaza Strip. Bin Laden grouped the US with Israel as the reason for the intense fighting against the Palestinian people and in doing so, referred to the US and Israel as the Crusader-Zionist coalition. Remember, the US is not involved in the conflict and Israel is not trying to destroy the Palestinian people, only Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group.
This scenario, a call for an Islamic 'holy war', a jihad against Israel, is part of a prophetic scenario the ancient Jewish prophets wrote about 2,500 years ago. Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Joel all wrote of this call for 'holy war' in the Last Days. Joel spoke of the largest army ever assembled to come to Jerusalem to destroy the Jewish state, Joel 2:2-3.
This call by Osama Bin Laden for 'holy war' against Israel over the conflict in the Gaza Strip is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

A 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.

President Bush repeats his longstanding call for the creation of a Palestinian state, but also reiterates Israel's right to self defense
At his final press conference before leaving office, United States President George W. Bush strongly backed Israel's actions in Gaza restating his policy that the Israelis have a right to self defense. At the same time, the president repeated his longstanding call for the creation of a Palestinian state.
Additional world leaders, both in the Middle East and Europe are working to bring about a resolution to the ongoing Gaza military operation including the French and Egyptian presidents working to bring the two sides together with Jordan's King Abdullah, the United Nations Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon, and the Quartet's Middle East Peace Envoy, Tony Blair, also working to bring about a ceasefire.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the war in the Gaza Strip continues world leaders are working at trying to bring about a ceasefire and peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which is a precursor to how Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
President Bush, at the last news conference of his presidential term, was focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unfolding in the Gaza Strip. The United States President called for a sustainable ceasefire, a ceasefire that will take effect when Hamas quits firing its rockets at Israel.
In the meantime, French President Sarkozy and President Mubarak of Egypt are working behind the scenes to bring the Israelis and the Palestinians together at the negotiating table in order to have a ceasefire put in place. Tony Blair, actually in Israel itself, is working between the two parties to bring a stop to the violence - Blair does this as the peace envoy for the Quartet, the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia.
World leaders expending all of this effort to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was foretold in Bible prophecy. Revelation 17:17 says that God puts into the minds and hearts of world leaders to make decisions that will accomplish His will. Ezekiel 35, Malachi 1, and Obadiah reveal that the Israelis and the Palestinians will be in conflict just prior to the return of Jesus Christ.
Current events in the Gaza Strip are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jordan's King Abdullah says that Israel's war against Hamas is destroying the Middle East Peace Process
Jordan's King Abdullah says he is worried that Israel is plotting a conspiracy against the Palestinian people and the future of the state of Palestine in its offensive on Gaza, a process that is destroying the potential for peace in the Middle East. Abdullah, Jordan's monarch, whose country signed an unpopular peace treaty with Israel back in 1994, says that he fears that Israel was seeking to impose geo-political realities that would make it impossible to set up an independent Palestinian state, one aspect of the Middle East Peace Process, and that Israel wants to force new conditions that threaten Jordan's own sovereignty.
Almost 70% of Jordan's 6 million population are Palestinian and Jordan has over the years rejected Israel's suggestions that Jordan merge with the Palestinian population in Israel and that Jordan is truly the Palestinian state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Jordan's King Abdullah is correct to be concerned about the Middle East Peace Process and the outcome of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. However, Bible prophecy will help the king and, in fact, the world to understand the final outcome of both the conflict and peace in the Middle East.
Jordan's King Abdullah is always alert to any event in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and rightly so - almost 70% of Jordan's population is Palestinian and King Abdullah is not - he is a Hashemite of the Hashemite Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. What happens in Israel with the Israeli-Palestinian will indeed affect what happens in Jordan. Abdullah's concerns about the outcome of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and even the peace process in the Middle East have been dealt with in the pages of Bible prophecy.
The ancient Jewish prophet of Obadiah reveals that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will continue until the return of Jesus Christ back to the Earth when the Jews will be victorious over the Palestinians (Obadiah 16-18). In the issue of peace in the Middle East, one must turn to the prophecy of Daniel (Daniel 9:27). In this passage, we see that the coming world dictator, the Antichrist, will confirm a peace between the Jewish state and their enemies, today the Islamic and Muslim world (Daniel 9:27).
The fact that Jordan now has a peace treaty with Israel, a peace treaty not really working, does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Three major European leaders are calling for a new world order
Speaking at a two day conference in Paris on the future of capitalism, three European leaders say that this world today needs a new type of global economic system and Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany which is Europe's largest economy, Merkel singled out America's budget deficit and China's current account surplus as problems upsetting the global economy.
Angela Merkel, French President Sarkozy, and and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, led the conference in a debate to set up a new global order and Sarkozy said that financial capitalism based on speculation was a immoral system that has perverted the logic of capitalism. Tony Blair called for a new world order, a new global economic system, based on values rather than maximum short term profit.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call for a new world order by three major European leaders is evidence that this world is moving towards a global economic system which is called for in Bible prophecy for the last days.
At the two day conference in Paris, where world leaders gathered to debate a new global economic system - a new world order - three leading European leaders have called for a global economic system that would change how economic transactions take place across the world. This idea of a new global economic system being put in place has been a topic of discussion since the present global economic crisis appeared on the scene. These calls for a new global economic system, a new world order, have been increasing and now have been taken to a higher level.
What we see unfolding among world leaders as they try to handle the global economic crisis is a similar scenario to that found in Bible prophecy. Revelation 13:16-17 call for a mark or a method of determining how all economic transactions will take place in the future. Revelation 18 even describes the location of the world headquarters for this new economic order - the location is Babylon or as we know Babylon, modern-day Iraq.
Revelation 13 and Daniel 7 call for a one world leader that will head up this new global economic system, a position that could be filled by either French President Sarkozy or the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The number 2 man in Al Qaeda claims that the military action in the Gaza Strip is President Elect Obama's gift to Israel
In a new audio message released by Al Qaeda's number 2 leader, Al Zawahiri, he lashed out at President Elect Barack Obama accusing him of not doing anything to stop Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip. These comments are the first made by Al Qaeda since Israel launched its offensive against the Islamic militants of Hamas.
Al Zawahiri described Israel's action in Gaza as a crusade against Islam and Muslims, and he called it, "Obama's gift to Israel" before he takes over later this month while at the same time, calling Egypt's President Mubarak a traitor for not opening Egypt's border with Gaza to allow free flow of personnel and munitions. Al Zawahiri called on Muslims to join the fight against Zionist crusader campaign and for Islamic terrorists to strike Israel's interests everywhere they can reach them.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Al Qaeda's statement blaming President Elect Obama for Israel's military action in Gaza is, in principle, a true accusation according to Bible prophecy.
President Elect Barack Obama has been very quiet about the ongoing Israeli military action against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Obama has basically taken a page out of President Bush's playbook and has allowed Israel to deal with the terrorist threat by Hamas against Israelis in the Jewish state.
However, it is important to notice that not only have President Bush and President Elect Obama been somewhat silent on the campaign, most of the Arab world has been uncharacteristically quiet about how the Israelis are dealing with Hamas. Even the other faction of the Palestinian body politic, the Fatah organization - the ruling party of the Palestinian legislature, and the Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, have said Hamas deserves what it is getting in this conflict.
What is interesting is that the non-statements of political leaders are being perceived as approval of Israel's actions. This is again evidence that God will use human world leaders to accomplish His will, according to Revelation 17:17. God created human government (Genesis 9:6) for the purpose of giving direction to this world. In the last days, world political leaders will move the world into the scenario that Bible prophecy has been calling for since it was first written 2500 years ago.

Scientists now say our Milky Way is much larger than first though and is on a collision course
According to a research report given at a major astronomy meeting, scientists now say our galaxy is much larger than once thought and the results suggest that the Milky Way is as large as the largest galaxy in our local group. Astronomers were able to calculate the total amount of dark matter in the Milky Way which makes up the majority of the galaxy's mass which is about 50 percent more mass than earlier predicted.
The greater mass means that future collisions with nearby galaxies could could happen sooner than thought according to researchers but these researchers say a possible collision is still billions of years in the future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The latest scientific research reveals information that once again is evidence of how science may one day catch up to the truth that is found in God's word, the Bible.
The latest scientific information about the earth's galaxy, the Milky Way, is that it is possible 50 percent larger that previously thought. The astronomers that made the report recently stated that this could increase the chances of a collision in space, a collision that the scientific world believes is at least a billion years from now - don't be too worried about the collision. Once again, it is clear that astronomy is an evolving science - they do not have all the facts straight quite yet.
God's word is much closer to the truth of the origins of the universe that science has ever been even though we take the Biblical account of Creation by faith. God's word uses 5 words to speak about the creation of the stars which is found in Genesis 1:16 where it says, "He made the stars also." God's word said it, and that settles it for me.
Prophetically, this is key because II Peter 3 says that in the last days men will deny the Lord's Second Coming as they also deny that God created the heavens, the Earth, and all that in them is - and He controls all of His Creation. God's word is absolute scientifically and prophetically. Jesus Christ is coming - Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Turkish Prime Minister says that Allah, the Islamic god, will punish Israel over Gaza
After returning from a tour of the Middle East capitals, the Turkish Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan, made a statement that Allah will punish Israel for its inhumane actions against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Turkish Prime Minister conspicuously skipped Israel during his Middle East tour despite the bilateral ties that both countries enjoy and the assessment in Jerusalem is that Erdogan's criticism will not have a lasting impact on Turkish-Israeli relations since strong ties are in the best interest of both countries.
Erdogan said that Israel's aerial attacks in Gaza were a crime against humanity and since Israel launched these attacks against Gaza four days after a visit to Ankara by Israeli Prime Minister Olmert, this was a sign of disrespect against Turkey.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan that the Islamic god Allah would punish Israel is contradictory to Bible prophecy.
Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has traveled throughout the Middle East with visits to Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia engaged in shuttle diplomacy with Arab countries in search of a Gaza cease fire. The Turkish leader made some extremely critical comments of about the Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip even as he conspicuously skipped stopping in Israel to assess the situation. Then Erdogan made the harsh statement about Israel being punished by the Islamic god Allah because of Israel's actions against the Palestinians in Gaza.
Erdogan's statement is, as I said, a contradiction to Bible prophecy and the prophetic passages that deal with all the parties involved even Turkey. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel actually mentions Turkey in one of his prophetic passages (Ezekiel 38:2,6). In these verses, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togarmah are the Biblical names for the four parts in Bible times of modern-day Turkey. Ezekiel 39:2-6 says that Turkey will be almost totally destroyed when they come against Israel in the last days and the Palestinians will be as if they never had been (Ezekiel 35).
Allah will not punish Israel - the God of Israel will destroy her enemies. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
Erdogan said that Israel's aerial attacks in Gaza were a crime against humanity and since Israel launched these attacks against Gaza four days after a visit to Ankara by Israeli Prime Minister Olmert, this was a sign of disrespect against Turkey.

The statement by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan that the Islamic god Allah would punish Israel is contradictory to Bible prophecy.

Protests against Israel's operation in Gaza have broken out in the Muslim world - but there is silence from Arab and Muslim leaders
Iran warned Israel, right after the Friday Muslim prayer, not to launch a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip as protests against Israel's military operation in Gaza and the Hamas-run territories swept across the Middle East. In Tehran, Cairo, Amman, and Damascus, Muslim protesters went to the streets to demonstrate against the military action by the Israeli Defense Force chanting, "Death to Israel, Death to America" and they burned Israeli flags as some protesters even volunteered to go to Gaza and fight the Israelis.
However, uncharacteristically, the leadership in the Arab and Muslim world have been very subdued and even the Palestinians in Ramallah are shedding no tears over the deaths of Hamas leaders.

No major reaction from the Arab and Muslim world over the Israeli military operation in Gaza is evidence of how Bible prophecy will be played out in the last days.
There have been demonstrations in the Arab and Muslim streets in the Middle East, but no real outcry by the Arab and Muslim leaders against the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip. President Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah in Jordan are two Arab leaders that have chosen to stand back and see what happens before making a show of protest against Israel's destruction of the infrastructure of Hamas. Both King Abdullah and President Mubarak see problems for their countries if Hamas is allowed to continue getting stronger with no reaction from Israel. The rest of the Arab and Muslim leadership in the Middle East recognized that Hamas is getting exactly what they asked for by continuing to taunt Israel.
This scenario unfolding today is interesting especially as it relates to Bible prophecy for the last days. Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 all indicate that the Arab and Muslim world will attack Israel early on in the seven year Tribulation Period and be totally destroyed (Ezekiel 39:1-6). The little book of Obadiah, however, reveals that the Palestinians, the modern-day descendants of Esau, will be destroyed and the end of the Tribulation when Jesus Christ returns to the Earth (Obadiah 16-18).
The subdued attatude of the Arab and Muslim world over the Israeli action in Gaza is indeed setting the stage 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.
