Israel has a new Prime Minister and government to lead the Jewish state into the future

Former Prime Minister (PM) and now the newly sworn in PM for Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, was sworn in today to lead the Israeli government into the future and the new government will be the largest ever in this the 32nd government for the Jewish state with 30 ministers to serve in the Netanyahu cabinet.

The new Israeli government will be center to right in its political philosophy and both the US and EU are applying pressure to PM Netanyahu to govern his state from more of a centrist approach in not only domestic issues but foreign affairs as well.

The new PM said his main issues will be the economy of Israel in light of the global financial crisis and the threat Iran poses with its potential nuclear WMD.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

With the swearing in of Binyamin Netanyahu as the new Israeli PM, the Middle East and the world, in fact are evidence that the stage is set for the End Time drama to be played out that can be found in Bible prophecy.

With the peaceful transition of power in the Jewish state of Israel, the Middle East and the world have been able to witness the way a freed people, a democracy actually works. PM Binyamin Netanyahu introduced his new government, the 32nd Israeli government in this young Jewish nation, which is actually the largest ever for Israel.

This example of human government at work is the result of God putting in place 4,500 years ago human government, Genesis 9:6. God has down through the centuries used human government and will continue to do so into the future, Revelation 17:17. This new Israeli government is indeed setting the stage for the last drama found in Bible prophecy to be played out. The new Netanyahu government will face the potential for a coalition of nations led by Iran and other Arab and Islamic states to attack the Jewish state, Ezekiel 38 and Daiel 11. The global economic crisis will effect the leadership of the new Israeli PM as well, Revelation 13:16-17 and Revelation 18.

The new Israeli government does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

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

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

The film, Jesus the spirit of Allah, and it's television version which will further explore the links between Jesus and the Imam 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.

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.

Israel and Egypt mark the 30th anniversary of an unfinished peace treaty

March 26th marked the 30th anniversary of the first-ever peace treaty between Israel and one of her neighbors, the signing of the Camp David Accords, a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt that was brought about by the intervention of the then US President Jimmy Carter back in 1979 at the presidential retreat, Camp David in Maryland.

The signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt was the result of the courage shown by two Middle Eastern leaders, Israeli Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Israeli officials, however are saying that after 30 years, the Camp David Accords have never been normalized.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As Israel and Egypt mark the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Camp David Accords, the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Former US President Jimmy Carter brought two sworn enemies together at the presidential retreat in Camp David, Maryland and convinced these two Middle Eastern leaders, Israeli PM Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat that they should sign a peace treaty. The Camp David Accords, the title of the peace agreement, was the very first peace treaty between Israel and any of her enemies.

Over the 30 years since history was made at Camp David, this peace treaty has never been normalized, in other words it is not working as all the parties hoped it would. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has failed to ever make a state visit to Israel to develop a good strong relationship with the Jewish state. The truth be known, the other two peace treaties Israel has with its neighbors, the Palestinians which would be the Oslo Accords and with Jordan, the Israeli-Jordanian Peace Treaty, these treaties are not working either, they have not been normalized.

These treaties are on the table not working, waiting for someone to come along and make them work, to confirm them, which is exactly what Daniel 9:27 says will happen. The "he" in Daniel 9:27 is the Antichrist who will confirm these peace treaties, not sign a peace treaty, but confirm those on the table not working.

The 30th anniversary of peace between Israel and Egypt is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Israeli scientists have tracked an exploding star fifty times larger than the sun

Scientists from the Wizemann Institute here in Israel have tracked the first-ever study of the world's largest exploding star and discovered the after effects were a black hole following the supernova when the explosion released more energy in several days than the Sun does in many years.

This star was fifty times larger than the Sun and after the explosion, the star simply collapsed and left a black hole in the universe that was so dense that light could not pass through it. The blast was bright enough that it could be seen from Earth even in the daylight and just before the explosion, the size of the star shrunk, but with material that was as heavy as the entire Earth.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An exploding star that became a black hole in our universe may have a connection to Bible prophecy.

The team of Israeli scientists that observed the explosion of a star fifty times larger than the Sun have reported the end result as the appearance of a black hole in outer space. There is much speculation in the scientific world about black holes and studies are still underway to determine what a black hole really is and what it can do. One of the Israeli scientists said the observation of an exploding star becoming a black hole supports their theory that stars even hundreds of times larger than the sun also end up as black holes.

This report actually draws my attention to the Creation account in Genesis 1. The Bible says stars were created on the fourth day of Creation after God created the Sun and the Moon, Genesis 1:14-17. The literal interpretation of the Creation account gives us a basis to interpret the prophetic passages of Scripture literally as well. One such account is the mention of a bottomless pit in Revelation 9:2 and 20:1-3. In Revelation 9, the evil angels who committed sexual activity have been held in this bottomless pit for 4,500 years and the Revelation 20 account is about the bottomless pit which will be the prison for Satan for 1,000 years. The bottomless pit in these passages is believed to be a black hole in our universe.

The Black hole as the bottomless pit or not, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

China and Russia are calling for a new one world currency

The Kremlin has published its priorities for an upcoming G20 Summit calling for the creation of a supranational reserve currency to be issued by international institutions as a part of a reform for the global financial system.

At the same time, China's central bank proposed replacing the US dollar as the international reserve currency with a new global system controlled by the International Monetary Fund with a goal to create a reserve currency that is disconnected from individual nations.

Both Beijing and Moscow fear the actions taken to save the domestic US economy would have a negative impact on China and Russia and both countries believe this new global currency could correct the global economic crisis as well.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call by both Russia and China for a new one world currency is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

Within hours of each other, both China and Russia have called for a brand new worldwide currency to be put in place and disconnected from any nation, thus to correct the present global economic crisis, and at the same time, combat any future international financial crisis. Other members of the G20 have also entertained the idea of a new world currency as well as a new international economic system to be put in place to correct the present economic crisis and prevent any other global crisis.

The revival of the old Roman Empire called for in Daniel 7:7-24 will be economically based and need a one world currency. The economic capital of the world during the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period will be in the Middle East in Babylon, modern day Iraq, Revelation 18. In fact, a one world economic structure will be in place during this time of Bible prophecy as I said, the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, where all who want to buy or sell must have the mark of the Beast, Revelation 13:16-17.

A one world currency as called for by Russia and China is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy and setting the stage for this economic prophecy to be fulfilled.

Israeli experts believe there may be a major oil source in the Dead Sea area

The Israeli National Parks Council has granted three major petroleum companies in Israel permission to do exploratory drilling for oil in the Judean Desert Nature Reserve in the Dead Sea region to see if there is a major source of oil in the lowest location on the Earth.

Led by Ginko Oil Company, the three companies believe that this is the best chance for Israel to find oil, a much needed commodity in the Jewish state of Israel which relies on the Arab world to supply Israeli oil needs.

The geological department at Hebrew University says that the fact that oil has been found previously in this area near the Dead Sea could mean that there is more in the region.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The potential for a major source of oil in the Dead Sea area in Israel is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Over the years, there have been a number of petroleum wildcatters, speculators, that have suggested various locations in Israel where oil could be found. Many of these speculators even used the Bible to help convince investors to get on board searching for this oil.

Now, three very legitimate companies in Israel have received permission to do exploratory drilling in a nature reserve near the Dead Sea that could be a major source of oil, a natural resource much needed in Israel. Should these companies and this exploratory drilling prove to be successful and they find a major source of oil in Israel, it will be that which prepares the way for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Ezekiel 38 mentions several times that the invading armies that come to destroy Israel in the last days will be coming, in fact, be lured into Israel to take a spoil and maybe that spoil is oil. These prophetic passages in Ezekiel 38 are verses 4, 12, 13, and 16.

The potential for a major oil source in the Dead Sea region of Israel does indeed help set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Russia's president has announced an ambitious overhaul of the Russian Armed Forces

Russia's President, Dmitry Medvedev, has vowed to press ahead with an ambitious overhaul of Russia's armed forces despite the nation's economic problems and vocal opposition from within Russia's military. The plan envisions the most dramatic transformation of the Russian military since World War II, doing away with a structure designed to mobilize large numbers of troops to fight a major war and replacing it with a leaner standing army that can respond more quickly.

The plan has run into stiff opposition from Russian politicians who say that it will leave Russia too weak to prevail in a war against a strong opponent such as NATO or China.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Word from Moscow that Russia will overhaul its military and make it ready for a quick strike should have prophecy students looking for the Russian military to play out its end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The Russian military has been very active this last year with its navy traveling across the world and docking in many port cities. At the same time, the armed forces of Russia were involved in a ground operation in the former Soviet bloc country of Georgia. It cannot go unnoticed how the Russian political leadership has been developing deeper relations with many if not all of the Middle Eastern nations including Israel. All the world's leaders are very aware and are much concerned with the Russian-Iranian partnership to develop Iran's nuclear program. This report is evidence of the restless bear arising to become once again a world superpower especially with the announcement of a major overhaul of the Russian military.

Russia, known by its Biblical name "Magog" in Ezekiel 38:2, is the major player in a coalition of nations that will come together to attack Israel. This alignment of nations spoken of in Daniel 11:4-44 and Ezekiel 38, will be led by Russia in the attack on Israel that comes at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation period yet in the future.

The announcement of Russia overhauling its military, the most dramatic overhaul since World War II, is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The smallest known North American dinosaur has been found

Canadian researchers say they have discovered the smallest known North American dinosaur, a carnivore that roamed areas on the North American continent and weighed less than most modern-day house cats. This small dinosaur which researchers say was on the earth some 75 million years ago most likely hunted insects, small mammals, and perhaps even baby dinosaurs with razor-like claws as they ran through the swamps and forests in southeastern Alberta, Canada. The researchers say that the clawed dinosaur was slight, ran on two legs, and had dagger-like teeth which were all used as a predator of small things.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The discovery of a small dinosaur that scientists say supposedly roamed the earth 75 million years ago is tangible evidence that God's word is true and that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The latest research has revealed the smallest known dinosaur in the history of the world and with the researchers making the statement that it roamed the earth millions of years ago, it should catch the attention of most people. First, the research states that the creature is a dinosaur that that dinosaurs actually did exist at some time in history. The big question is, were these dinosaurs roaming the earth 75 million years ago? I would say that there was no scientist also roaming the earth 75 million years ago to observe this almost miniature dinosaur.

According to a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis chapters 1-10, the creature would have been around some 6000 years ago, not 75 million years ago. Dinosaurs were actually created on the sixth day of Creation (Genesis 1:24) when the Lord created creeping things on the earth. As is relates to the time period of Creation, a literal interpretation of the Scriptures would reveal that the days in Genesis 1 were twenty-four hour days. Six of them were used for the creation of the heavens and the earth and all that in them is and the seventh day used by the Lord to rest for that one last twenty-four hour day - not millions of years.

In order for one to have a literal interpretation of prophecy and believe that Jesus Christ is coming and all prophecy will be fulfilled, he must take a literal approach to understanding the story of Creation as well.

Sharia law is making great strides in the Middle East, into the West and around the world

Pakistan recently gave in to the pressures of Islamist militants and in order to buy off peace, Pakistani authorities allowed the imposition of Sharia, Islamic law, to be implemented in the Swat Valley, a war-torn tribal area of the Islamic nation of Pakistan.

The Pakistani government not only allowed a precedent that could spread throughout all Pakistan, but the truth be known, Islamic law, Sharia law, is making end roads across all of the Middle East and even creeping into the Western countries as well.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The spread of Sharia law, Islamic law, across the Middle East and in the nations in the West coupled with the ever-expanding Moslem populations around the world is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

European leaders have been very concerned with the ever-expanding Moslem populations in their nations and have been confused as how to handle this phenomenon. Now, in these highly populated Moslem areas, there has surfaced a new phenomenon, the demand for Sharia law, the Islamic law of the land, to be implemented and these Moslem communities want this done right now. Sharia law is the law of the land that would rule every nation in the world if Islamic leaders are successful in bringing about a worldwide caliphate, an Islamic kingdom on earth with everyone subject to Allah, the Islamic god.

Ancient Jewish prophets, though not using the words Islam or Sharia, actually spoke to the issue under discussion in their volumes of pre-written history. Joel in Joel 2:3-4 spoke of a mighty militia, a Moslem militia, the largest the world has ever seen, heading towards Jerusalem to destroy the Jewish state. Daniel 11:40-44, Ezekiel 38 and Psalm 83 all list nations that will join this mighty Moslem militia to destroy the Jewish state of Israel.

The spread of Sharia law as the law of the land in more and more nations in our world today is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The global economic downturn is making China an even stronger world economic power

China, the world's third largest economy behind the US and Japan is quickly becoming an even stronger economic power with the global economic downturn and the efforts to reverse this international financial crisis.

Chinese leaders are turning this economic crisis to competitive advantage and China is becoming more assertive as it exploits its unusual position as a nation with piles of money and a strong banking system. The Chinese government and private Chinese companies are turning the global financial crisis into opportunity as they go shopping for foreign businesses to purchase both in Europe and the US.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Chinese, taking advantage of a global financial crisis to develop an ever stronger China financially, militarily and politically is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Those who have been watching China in the last decade have observed a disciplined nation financially, militarily and politically as they have quickly become one of the superpowers of the world. It is interesting to see China, a Communist state, tell Washington that as one of the United States' biggest creditors, they expect them to safeguard its investment. China will soon be the major consumer of petroleum products and this is basically because of its large population, the largest national population in the world. With their millions and billions of dollars of profit acquired in world trade, the Chinese are quickly becoming the largest and most powerful military force in the world.

This scenario just described is a similar scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days. Revelation 13:16-17 and chapter 18 describe an international economic structure in place following a global financial crisis. Revelation 16:12 describes the kings of the East as the major force to join the rest of the nations of the world as they surround Jerusalem, Zechariah 14:2, for the beginning of the campaign of Armageddon.

A stronger China, financially and militarily, coming out of the global economic crisis is a precursor to Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

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 inspirational 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.

The latest Gallup Poll says there is an increasing number of people that think global warming is exaggerated

Although a majority of Americans believe the seriousness of global warming is either correctly portrayed in the news or underestimated, a record high 40% now say that it is exaggerated which represents the highest level of public skepticism about mainstream reporting on global warming seen in more than a decade. Apart from their findings about news coverage of global warming, this most recent Gallup Poll shows in a similar vein that Americans are a bit less concerned about the seriousness of global warming than they have been in recent years.

The media actually could be the cause in this change of attitude by Americans as they have reported time and time again how so many different conferences and meetings set to focus on the problem of global warming had to be canceled because of the winter storms at the meeting location.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The world has been propagandized by political leaders and some scientists about this so-called global warming which contradicts the Bible but does have a significance to Bible prophecy.

After former Vice-President Al Gore left office, he took on the task of spreading the word about global warming, even making an award-winning movie to get the message out. All of this is happening even as many scientists, in fact there are hundreds of them, that are denying the phenomenon of global warming is actually happening. One world leader, the President of the Czech Republic, recently called a summit of scientists and political leaders to counter this campaign to propagandize the world on global warming.

Having said this, what does the Bible say about the possibility of global warming? Colossians 1:17 says by Him, Jesus Christ, all things were created and verse 18 says by Him, Jesus Christ, all things consist. In other words, no global warming unless Jesus allows it. However, Bible prophecy does reveal that there is coming a day of ecological judgment. In Revelation chapters 8 and 16, the prophet John, writer of Revelation, speaks of judgment on the earth and in the sea with the oceans turning to blood and the grass and trees all burning up.

This debate will continue on global warming but rest assured, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Scientists are saying artificial life could be created within five years

Scientific laboratories across the world say they are closing in on a second genesis, an achievement that they say would be one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time. However, Professor David Deamer, of California University, says that building a new life form from scratch is a daunting task but says that he is confident that it can be done in five to ten years.

Opponents of the controversial research claim the technology could lead to machines becoming almost human. However, others say there would be no safety issues for a long time as any organisms would be very primitive and need large scale life support in the laboratory.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The idea that modern-day science can create a new life form from scratch within the next five years is evidence that Bible prophecy and the Bible itself is absolutely right and Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

Science-fiction movies have for years presented the case for a mad scientist being able to create life out of a test tube. Now, some so-called real scientists are claiming they are within five years of creating a new life form which they say will be the greatest scientific breakthrough in history.

Almost 2000 years ago, the close friend and ministry partner with Jesus Christ, the apostle Peter, wrote that this type of activity would actually be happening in the last days. In Peter's last letter before his death, II Peter 3, the apostle writes that there will be those in the last days that deny God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them and that is the only way for human life to have come into existence by God's creation (II Peter 3:4-5). In fact, it says that these so-called scientists will be willfully ignorant of what the truth is about Creation.

In this same passage, Peter points out that during this same time in history, the last days, men will deny that Jesus Christ is coming back to the earth to which Jesus responds, He is not slack concerning His promise, he will indeed come back (II Peter 3:4,9).

False claims that contradict the Bible are only greater evidence that Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

A radical Moslem cleric says the Starbucks Coffee logo is the picture of a famous Jewish queen

An Egyptian cleric Safwat Higa, claims the logo used by the coffee company Starbucks is actually the image of Queen Esther of the Persian Empire 2,500 years ago and the Islamic cleric wants the Moslem world to boycott Starbucks throughout the Arab world.

The Egyptian cleric says Starbucks can be found in Mecca and Medina, the two most holy cities in the Moslem world and it is inconceivable that in these Islamic holy cities, the picture of the Jewish Queen Esther should be on display.

Queen Esther was the wife of King Ahasuerus when the Persians ruled the world and he was married to this Jewish woman who actually stopped the complete annihilation of the Jews from the hands of those who wanted to destroy the Jewish people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The protests by a radical Moslem cleric over the image on the logo of Starbucks Coffee is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer than it has ever been to being fulfilled.

Coffee drinkers around the world who love their Starbucks Coffee have been unaware that they may become the symbol of a major protest in the Islamic world. The logo for Starbucks, the image of a female with a crown on her head, has been identified by a radical Moslem cleric in Cairo, Egypt as that of Queen Esther, one of the characters in the Jewish holy day of Purim and that of the Jewish queen of the Persian king who ruled the world 2,500 years ago.

This scenario fits a scenario that will be played out in the End Times according to Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophets pre-wrote history for the Last Days. Ezekiel and Daniel wrote of an alignment of Islamic states that would align themselves against the Jewish state and try wipe Israel off the map, Ezekiel 38 and Daniel 11. The prophet Joel spoke of a massive army, the largest the world has ever seen, going into Jerusalem to make the Jewish holy city an Islamic capital city, Joel 2.

It is almost a bit humorous to think the Starbucks logo is that of a Jewish queen of years past, but the reaction from the Moslem world to the Starbucks logo is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Jews in Jerusalem and around the world celebrate escape from near total annihilation

Around the world, Jewish people stop to remember the biblical story of Esther and the account of how a world leader plotted to have every Jew on the earth killed at that time in history, 2,500 years ago, killed thus eliminating all of the Jewish race.

As the biblical narrative goes, the queen of the Persian Empire, Queen Esther came into the King of the Medo-Persian kingdom and actually begged for her people, the Jewish people, to be saved from annihilation at the hand of the wicked Persian ruler Haman, the number two man in the kingdom.

The queen's intervention was able to keep the laws of the Medes and Persians from being carried out, and on this day, the Jewish holy day of Purim, down through the centuries, the Jewish people have celebrated this reprieve. But, there are still dangerous times ahead for the Jewish people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

On the Jewish holy day of Purim, the Jewish people celebrate the escape from complete annihilation, but Bible prophecy indicates the worst is yet to come for the entire Jewish world.

The Jewish holy day of Purim is a festive occasion, especially for the children as they dress up in the characters of the book of Esther and play act the victory over wicked Haman who led the campaign to kill all the Jews in the world 2,500 years ago. In the synagogues around the world, Jewish worshippers gather to read through the book of Esther once again and to remember how Queen Esther had come into the Persian kingdom at the right time in history.

This historical account not only helps us to reflect on history past, but to realize that in history future, the worst time for the Jewish people is yet to come. In the time of Jacob's Troubles, yet in the future, the Jewish prophet Zechariah says that two out of every three Jews will be killed, Zechariah 13:8. Satan, when he is thrown out of Heaven, Revelation 12:7-12, will endeavor to kill all Jews to keep God from fulfilling His promise to the Jewish people, Revelation 12:13-17.

The celebration of Purim does indeed look back, but also should remind us of the future when Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The EU has threatened to wipe England off of 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, Wales, 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.

The Supreme Moslem Council says that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is Jewish

Over a decade ago the Chief Moslem cleric for the Palestinian Authority(PA) Mufti Sabri stated that the claim of the Jewish people to the right of control over Jerusalem is false and that the Islamic world only recognized Islamic supervision over Jerusalem.

However, it is now known that this absolute claim to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount is not absolute according to a document recently discovered, published by the Supreme Moslem Council back in 1925 which states that the Temple Mount is the site of Solomon's Temple and this is beyond dispute.

The discovery of a Moslem document stating that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is Jewish is inline with biblical history and the "endtime" scenario for Bible prophecy.

I personally stood in the office of Shiekh Sabri, the Mufti of Jerusalem, and heard this chief Moslem cleric for the PA state there was never a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and that this site was a Moslem holy site dating back 6,000 years. With his statement, which is part of a campaign to convince the world that the Jews have no claim to the Temple Mount, the Mufti, Sheikh Sabri, contradicted Jewish and biblical history but it is now known that the Mufti contradicted his own Supreme Moslem Council.

The Islamic document discovered recently that states the Temple Mount was the site of Solomon's Temple, the Temple built by Israel's third king, is in perfect harmony with Bible history, II Chronicles 3-5. The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was also the site of the second Jewish Temple built by the Jews who returned from Babylon led by Zerubbabel, Ezra 1-6. This sacred site to the Jewish people, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, will also be the site of the next Temple to be built there as well, that is according to Bible prophecy, Zechariah 1:14-16, 6:12.

However, until that Temple of the Messiah is built, controversy will surround this holy site, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as indicated by this newly discovered Moslem document.

Israel is seriously considering an Iranian military strike

According to top US officials and experts in the field, Israel is right now seriously considering taking unilateral military action to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon of mass destruction and Israel's time frame for action is growing shorter.

The report indicates that the international sanctions are not now working and must be intensified while at the same time, the new incoming Israeli government under Binyamin Netanyahu will have to make a decision on unilateral military action against Iran and do it very soon.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A preemptive military strike by Israel on Iran before the Islamic republic acquires a nuclear weapon of mass destruction to use on the Jewish state is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Iran has for a number of years claimed that they can have a nuclear weapon of mass destruction to use against the state of Israel and that they have the delivery system in place to attack Israel at any location they choose. In recent days, it seems that the entire global intelligence community have all agreed that indeed Iran could have a nuclear weapon of mass destruction sometime this year. Israeli officials say that they cannot afford to wait until Iran has a nuclear weapon of mass destruction - they must launch a preemptive military strike on Iran's nuclear weapons program.

This threatening scenario is most definitely a precursor to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy mentions Iran by name using its Biblical name of Persia found in Ezekiel 38:5. Until 1936, Iran was actually known as Persia and even today they speak the Persian language. In Zephaniah 2:4 it mentions Gaza, the location of Hamas, and in Psalm 83:7 it mentions Tyre, modern-day Lebanon, the headquarters of Hezbullah. Hamas and Hezbullah are the two main surrogates for Iran in the Middle East - one in the north, Hezbullah, and and other in the south, Hamas.

Israel is indeed making ready to attack Iran because Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A Russian official says the US will collapse next year

Igor Panarin, the Dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's School of Future Diplomats, is teaching that President Obama will order martial law this year, the US will split into six rump-states before 2011 and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

Panarin says there is a high possibility that the collapse of the US will occur by 2010 which is a negative view of the US that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years and in particular from the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Putin has likened the US to Nazi Germany's third reich and blames Washington for the global financial crisis that has pounded the Russian economy.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The fact that the US will collapse by 2010 and that Russia and China will emerge as the backbones for a new world order as quoted from a Russian official is in reality very close to what Bible prophecy reveals for the Last Days.

The statement by a Russian Foreign Affairs official that the US is about to collapse is part of the rhetoric that Russian officials are propagating these days to distract the Russians from the financial crisis that has pounded the Russian economy recently. The added statement that Russia and China will emerge as the backbones of the new world order is powerful evidence that this world is coming very close to the End Times as God's Word reveals about the events of the Last Days.

Both Russia and China are mentioned in Bible prophecy by other names. Russia as Magog in Ezekiel 38:2 and China as the kings of the East in Revelation 16:12. Ezekiel 38:2 says Russia will lead an alignment of nations against Israel. Revelation 16:12 says the kings of the East, China, will come to Jerusalem for the beginning of the campaign of Armaggeddon; however, before both of these prophecies are fulfilled, the Rapture takes place, an event where Jesus calls Christians to be with Him in the heavenlies.

Since Christians are the backbone of the US, at the Rapture when all Christians leave earth, naturally the US will collapse.

The Vatican sponsored a conference to determine the compatibility of Evolution and Creation

In a five-day conference at the Vatican in Rome to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, the discussion will be the potential compatibility between Evolution and Creation.

Scientists, philosophers and theologians from around the world gathered to reexamine the work of scientific thinkers whose revolutionary ideas have challenged religious beliefs.

Christian churches have long been hostile to Darwin because his theory conflicted with the literal, biblical account of Creation; however, the Catholic church has never condemned Darwin, even though a leading cardinal, a friend of Pope Benedict, said Darwin's theory of Natural Selection was incompatible with Christian belief.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Compatibility between Evolution and Creation is a contradiction of terms and the discussion of the two is part of the discussions that will be held in the Last Days.

For the last 150 years, there has been a debate between true Bible believers and the proponents of Evolution. This debate started in the classroom, moved to the courtroom and then to the legislatures of the legislative bodies around the world and now into the halls of religious belief.

The biblical account of Creation found in Genesis 1 and 2, confirms that the origins of life are from the God of the Bible and all true Christians will accept this as the final authority. There is an interesting connection between this discussion about Evolution and Creation and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Bible prophecy says there will be those who will deny the Second Coming of Jesus Christ because they walk after their own lust, II Peter 3:4. These same Second Coming deniers will also deny that Jesus is the Creator, the One who spoke the worlds into existence, II Peter 3:5-6. These people who deny Jesus Christ is coming again and that He is the Creator are people who are "dumb on purpose".

An international conference to discuss the compatibility of Evolution and Creation is a current events that is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Israeli government is planning to double the Jewish settlements population

Peace Now, a non-governmental political action organization is reporting that the Israeli government is planning to build more than 73,000 new housing units in the West Bank, Judea and Samaria, and that would mean a 100 percent increase in the population of Israel settlers.

This new construction would me that the two largest Jewish settlements, Ariel and Ma'aleh Adumim, would double in size and that there would be almost 6000 new units in the eastern section of Jerusalem which is considered a Jewish settlement by the Palestinian people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

If the report is true that the Israeli government is about to double the population of the Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria, then Bible prophecy is moving ever so close to being fulfilled.

The major thorn in the flesh in the peace process in the Middle East between the Israelis and the Palestinians has always been the Jewish settlements and the settlers in Judea and Samaria which many people refer to as the West Bank. World leader after world leader have said that there can be no true peace agreement until the Jewish settlers are evacuated out of Judea and Samaria and the land is given to the Palestinian people. The pressure has been applied on every Israeli government by the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia to dismantle the Jewish settlements so there can be peace in the Middle East. Now the report from Peace Now is that the Israeli government will double the population of the Jewish settlers especially under the new right wing Israeli government.

Should this be true we are moving right in line with the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the last days. 2500 years ago, the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote that the Lord would search the world for the Jewish people and bring them back into the land of their forefathers especially into Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, the locations of the present-day Jewish settlements. Ezekiel 36 says that the Jews will prosper in their original homeland and God will bring them into this land because of His holy namesake (Ezekiel 36:22).

Day by day we move closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the last days and this report of expanding the Jewish settlements is absolute proof that end times Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled.
