NASA's Swift space observatory which is tuned to see high energy gamma ray emitted from extreme events has picked up a colossal blast, the cataclysmic explosion of a giant star, the most distant single object ever detected by telescopes.
Other telescopes that followed up on the signal confirmed the source to be more than 13 billion light years away and scientists say the star's destruction probably resulted in what astronomers call a black hole.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The cataclysmic explosion of a giant star at the most distant location ever detected by scientists has a past significance as well as a prophetic significance according to Bible prophecy.
With the power of a satellite that can see farther into outer space than ever before, the scientific world has observed the most distant single object ever detected by a telescope, the cataclysmic explosion of a giant star. The scientific world believes this event will give them more information on the origins of our universe, a quest for truth that is not looking to the right source for the truth when all they must do is look to the source for this knowledge written by the only One who observed it happen and could do it again, and in fact will do it again.
Let me explain. The Bible, Genesis chapter 1, tells how God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them including this star that exploded deep in space., Genesis 1:1-16. In the future, God will destroy this whole universe, II Peter 3:10, and create, as He did the first time, new heavens and a new earth, Revelation 21:1. The Apostle Peter wrote that very brilliant people will be dumb on purpose at the time of the end and they will deny the truth of Creation given to us by God, the One who did it, observed it and then had Moses write about it, II Peter 3:5-7.
The Apostle Peter also said people who deny God created the heavens and the earth and all that in them is will also deny that Jesus Christ is coming back, but I must remind you that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Jewish state of Israel celebrates its 61st birthday
Millions of Israelis crowded the streets of the Jewish state to celebrate their 61st birthday on this independence day for a reborn nation of ancient people that have been gathered from over 100 nations of the world which many world leaders refer to as a modern day miracle.
Even with the threat of a radical Moslem leader, the president of Iran, President Ahmadinejad calling for the Jewish state to be wiped off the earth, the Jewish people, more than 5.5 million of them, have a hope for peace and security in a region of the world prone to conflict.
Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu addressing the nation told Israelis that this Independence Day marks the fulfillment of the dreams of millions of Jews, they once again have a Jewish state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the Jewish people in Israel celebrate their 61st birthday, they are also making known to the world that Bible prophecy has been and will be fulfilled.
On the Jewish calendar, which is different than the Christian calendar, this is the day that marks the rebirth of the Jewish state 61 years ago. When David Ben Gurion announced to the world in 1948 that Israel was a state among the other nations of the world, he realized the journey had just begun for the Jewish people in the rebuilding of their nation after 2,000 years of being scattered to the four corners of the earth. Ben Gurion said it was a miracle of God and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
The ancient Jewish prophets wrote 2,500 years before the fact that God would give His chosen people, the Jewish people, a nation once again and in the land of their forefathers. Ezekiel wrote that God would gather these Jews to Israel, Ezekiel 34. The prophet also said in Ezekiel 36 that the nation would be in the land that He had given their forefathers. The Lord had promised the Jewish patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the Jewish nation would be forever, Genesis 15, 26 and 35.
The 61st Independence Day of Israel is indeed tangible evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

According to two internationally known astronomers our years on earth are numbered until this earth is totally destroyed
According to a forecast with new calculations by a pair of world renown astronomers; one from Mexico and the other from England, man has only so many years on this earth before it is dragged from it's orbit to a rapid vaporous death.
This report is the latest installment in a long running debate about the ultimate fate of the earth and the universe surrounding the earth.
This report coming with word that the sun is getting hotter and hotter and it will continue to do so until it transforms itself into a red giant.
These two astronomers, Dr Peter Schroeder and Dr Robert Smith say that if nature is left to its own devices, the earth will be destroyed in about 7 1/2 billion years; that's right "b", 7 1/2 billion years from now.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Two astronomers who are predicting the demise of the earth and the sun, are pretty much on target but their timing is a bit off, that is according to Bible prophecy.
This report about the demise of the earth indicates that the sun is and will continue to get hotter and hotter until it drags the earth to a rapid, vaporous death.
This is not the first such report from the field of science, it is an ongoing debate among scientists as to how and when the earth and much of our galaxy will be destroyed.
This report on the ultimate fate of the earth that we are living on today pretty much is on target but as I said, the timing is a bit off, by billions of years.
Bible prophecy says that the earth will be burned up, II Peter 3:10. Revelation 8 & 16 speak of the earth's destruction as the sun gets hotter and hotter.
The Apostle John wrote in Revelation 21:1-2 that there will be a new earth and new heavens in the future. This scenario is also foretold by the ancient Jewish prophet, Isaiah, found in Isaiah 65:17 and 66:22.
These prophecies will indeed be fulfilled; however, not in 7 1/2 billion years, but surely in the near future.

Israel announces its population as almost seven and a half million people on the eve of their 61st birthday
Israel's population on its 61st independence day numbers 7,400,000 according to the data released by the central bureau of statistics with 75% of that population Jewish residents and just over 20% of the population Arabs leaving in Israel. 70% of Israel's total Jewish population are native Israelis or "sabras" as they are called, and at least half of that number are second generation Israelis as compared with a native Israeli population of 35% back in 1948.
In 1948, there was only one city in Israel with more than 100,000 residents - that was Tel Aviv. Today, there are 14 Israeli cities with more than 100,000 and 5 of those have more than 200,000 with Jerusalem as the largest Israeli city with around 700,000 residents.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The announcement on the eve of Israel's 61st birthday that its population is around 7 1/2 million is tangible evidence that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled.
The population on the birth date of modern-day Israel was around 500,000. Now, there are 5 1/2 million Jews in Israel and many of these are Jews born in the land of their forefathers. This fact is amazing and by some standards a miracle in that Jewish people who were scattered to the four corners of the Earth less than 2000 years ago and having no hope that there would ever be a nation of Jewish people again on this Earth.
What the world has witnessed over these last 100 years is Jewish people from over 100 nations of the world making their way home to Israel in at least a partial fulfillment of Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel recorded the words of God when He said, 18 times, that He would find His people, the Jewish people, wherever they were in the world and gather them into Israel (Ezekiel 34:11-31). Ezekiel 37:7 is the prophecy that also says the Jews will be brought into the land that God has given them and they will be there forever.
Israel's present Jewish population is indeed tangible evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Israeli political leader says if elected prime minister, he will build the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
Moshe Feiglin, head of the Jewish Leadership Movement and a member of Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud Party, said that if he was elected as Prime Minister of Israel, he will try to build the destroyed temple in Jerusalem - something that is the aspiration of every Jew. Feiglin said that he would take away control over the Temple Mount from the Islamic Trust that now has custodial responsibilities of this sacred spot and reinstate Jewish soverignity over the entire mount and hopefully rebuild the temple. Feiglin said that Israeli political leaders since 1967 have missed the chance to realize every Jew's aspiration to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by an Israeli political leader that, if elected prime minister, he would rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, has an interesting connection to Bible prophecy on the subject of the temple.
On a daily basis and three times every day, many religious Jews pray for the rebuilding of their temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Most Israeli political leaders shy away from any talk about the temple, realizing if there is to be a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem that the Dome of the Rock, a Moslem commemorative building must be removed which assuredly would spark a major conflict in the Middle East. Now that for the first time an Israeli politician is saying that if elected prime minister he would rebuild the temple, the prospects increase for that major Jewish-Moslem conflict. What is so interesting is that Bible prophecy predicts both will happen. There will be a conflict over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, and there will be a temple rebuild on that sacred spot.
2500 years ago, the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote that Jerusalem, in the last days, would be the center of controversy (Zechariah 12:2-3). The prophet also said that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would return and rebuild the temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:16, 6:12).
Whether an Israeli prime minister will ever have a part in building the temple on the Temple Mount or not, Messiah will rebuild the temple. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Israeli Foreign Minister says that President Obama's peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a recipe for disaster
Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, says that the plan President Obama has proposed for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Saudi Peace Plan, is very dangerous and a recipe for the destruction of the Jewish state. Lieberman emphasized that the most problematic aspect of the Saudi initiative, introduced by Saudi King Abdullah and calling for Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders, was that the plan called for a Palestinian right of return which would mean that the majority population in the Jewish state would be Palestinian.
Israeli officials are becoming very concerned with the ever-increasing pressure to accept a two state solution without the Palestinians stopping all terrorist activities and recognizing Israel's right to be a state in the Middle East.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Obama administration's peace plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will not bring resolution to the problem but instead will set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
As Israelis watch the Obama administration seems to be setting forth its policy and taking action to follow through with implementation of this Middle East policy. The acceptance of the Saudi Peace Plan as the peace plan for bringing resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that Israel has no right to a major part of the land they now have and Israel's Foreign Minister says that this is a recipe for Israel's destruction.
Bible prophecy seems to agree with the Israeli Foreign Minister in the fact that the Palestinians will get a state in much of what is now Israel with Jerusalem as its capital. 2500 years ago, Malachi, and ancient Jewish prophet, said that the Palestinians, Edomites of Biblical times, would return to rebuild a state but God said that He would call their borders, "the borders of wickedness". Ezekiel (Ezekiel 35) and the prophet Obadiah also foretold of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that would continue and only intensify until Jesus Christ comes back to the Earth.
No Middle East peace plan will work until, indeed, Jesus comes. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

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.

Israel stood still for two minutes to honor the death of six million Jews in the Holocaust
At 10 AM Israeli time, the Jewish state came to a stop with Israelis standing to honor the memory of the six million Jews that were killed during the Holocaust of WWII led by the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler and at the same time realizing it could happen again.
The speaker of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, Reuven Rivlin sent a message to parliament heads around the world in which he said that the hate expressed by the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, is a warning to all humanity that we risk a repetition of the Holocaust and that it will be brought about by people like Ahmadinejad.
Israeli PM Netanyahu told thousands of Israelis gathered at Yad Veshem that his government will not allow another Holocaust of the Jewish people.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Holocaust Rememberance Day is a reminder of a terrible past and it should be a warning to an even more horrible future for the Jewish people according to Bible prophecy.
Five million Israelis stopped and stood to honor six million of their friends and loved ones who were killed during WWII in the Holocaust and they were guilty of only one thing, they were Jewish. The evidence is overwhelming for the truth of the Holocaust and it is proof that Holocaust deniers do not want the truth, but instead they hate Jews and want to see another Holocaust that would finish the job of destroying all Jews everywhere.
One such Holocaust denier, the president of Iran, Ahmadinejad, has called repeatedly for the Jews to be wiped off the earth and that their name be forgotten forever. By the way, that statement is almost an exact quote from Psalm 84:3. Sadly, I must report that the worst Holocaust for the Jews is yet to come according to the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah. In Zechariah 13:8, the prophet reveals that in the Tribulation to come, two out of every three Jews will be killed, that means eight million Jews will die in the next Holocaust.
On Holocaust Rememberance Day, we should indeed mourn the six million that died, but also be reminded that the next Holocaust will be the worst one ever to take place.

Al Qaeda is calling for Moslems to attack Jerusalem
In a recently released recording posted on a terrorist internet website, the number 2 man in Al Qaeda, the Islamic terrorist organization, the deputy Al Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri issued a new call for an attack on Israel. Osama bin Laden's deputy urged the Al Qaeda - Iraqi followers to sneak across borders, make their way to Israel, and then liberate Jerusalem giving the city to the Palestinian people as the capital of their state called Palestine which, actually, is a similar call that was made by the late Saddam Hussein.
The Egyptian-born terrorist criticized Egypt's President Mubarak for applying pressure on Hamas to recognize the state of Israel and al-Zawahiri called on the Palestinians to attack Israelis and their allies outside of the country saying that the enemies of Islam, the crusaders, and the Jews are everywhere.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call by Al Qaeda to liberate Jerusalem is a scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the last days.
In the news story of this prophetic prospective, I mentioned the late Saddam Hussein who also had called for the liberation of Jerusalem. Saddam had formed a 7 million man army to go to Jerusalem to liberate the city and give it to the Palestinian people as the capital of their state called Palestine. Now, the major terrorist force in Iraq, Al Qaeda, has been urged to cross borders into Israel, go to Jerusalem, and liberate the city for Moslem purposes.
This is almost word for word from the pages of Bible prophecy for the end times. The ancient Jewish prophet Joel wrote that in the last days there will be a mighty militia formed - in fact, the largest army ever formed on the Earth and they will go to Jerusalem and liberate the holy city (Joel 2:2-3). This mighty Moslem military force will want to establish Jerusalem as the headquarters for the worldwide caliphate, and Islamic kingdom. However, the God of the Jews - the God of the Bible has different plans for Jerusalem. He will dwell among His people, the Jewish people, forever (Psalm 132:13-14) and He will dwell in a temple in Jerusalem that He will build and rule and reign from (Zechariah 6:12-13). Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Jerusalem police stop Jewish worshipers from entering the Temple Mount
Israeli members of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, are protesting the closing of the Temple Mount to Jewish worshipers due to a threat by the Muslim community to attack any Jews on the Temple Mount which the Israeli legislators say is a surrender to terrorism. These Jewish leaders say the Israeli government has issued another blow to the Jewish rights to worship freely in the land of Israel and especially on the Temple Mount, the most sacred site in the world for the Jewish people - the site of the previous Jewish temples and the expected site for the next Jewish temple.
The Knesset members say the Jerusalem police officials instead of sending signals to the terrorists of Jewish fear, they should back the Israeli citizens, pursue the terrorists, and send a strong message of determination and unwillingness to concede to terrorism.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The closing of the Temple Mount to Jewish worshipers because of a threat of a terrorist attack is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Jerusalem police have the constant concern about security on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem especially when there seems to be a conflict between the Muslims and the Jews who both use the site as a place of worship. Jewish worshipers recognize the security concerns but are dismayed by their own government for condescending to a Muslim threat of attacks on Jewish worshipers on the Temple Mount resulting in the closing of this sacred Jewish site to the Jewish worshipers.
This scenario sees the Israeli government playing into the hands of terrorists as was foretold 2500 years ago by the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah. The Lord told Zechariah (Zechariah 1:14) that He was jealous over the Temple Mount. Actually, the Hebrew says, that the Lord is "arrogantly possessive" of this sacred spot. The Lord also said that He was very displeased with those who are arrogantly secure on the Temple Mount hindering the Jewish worshipers from entering that spot (Zechariah 1:15). The Lord Jesus Christ will come one day and settle the question by building His temple there on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 1:16).
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Lord Jesus Christ will come one day and settle the question by building His temple there on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 1:16).
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

There is a severe drought that threatens the traditional site of the Garden of Eden
Iraqi officials say a severe drought is threatening Iraq's southern marshes, the traditional site of the Biblical Garden of Eden, just as the region was recovering from Saddam Hussein's draining of its lakes and swamps to punish a political rebellion in that region several years ago. This marsh Arab culture has existed for thousands of years in the 8,000 square miles of wetlands fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers where hundreds of species of birds fish have lived in these fertile farmlands.
This vast expanse of cracked earth has been coming back to life with the help of the United Nations but the debilitating drought has ravaged much of southern Iraq and neighboring countries in the last two years and thus reeked havoc in this traditional site for the Biblical Garden of Eden.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Iraq's claim to the traditional site of the Garden of Eden is wrong but the true site is significant in the end times Bible prophecy scenario for this Biblical site.
For years, the people of Iraq have claimed that in the southern marsh lands of their country could be found the Biblical Garden of Eden. This claim was based upon the location of the two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates that flow together in this region. Iraqi officials made the claim based upon the mention of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Biblical account of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2. A closer look at the passage will reveal that these two rivers were not in the Garden of Eden but somewhere outside of the garden.
One must remember that the Garden of Eden existed prior to the worldwide Flood of Genesis 6-8, at which time the total topography was changed. The Biblical text says that there was only one river in the Garden of Eden. That was the Gihon river (Genesis 2:10) and that river today is located in Jerusalem. Bible prophecy says that enemies of Israel will try to take the Garden of Eden for the headquarters of its caliphate or worldwide kingdom in the last days (Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3).
Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled at the true Garden of Eden in Jerusalem.

Scientists say that the global oil reserves could run out within four years
There is a group of scientists based in London that have challenged the major review of global oil reserves and they are warning that oil supplies will start to run out in only four years time, a report that governments and oil companies are not ready to admit according to the scientists.
Dr. Colin Campbell, the head of this delegation of scientists says that world consumption of oil will catch and then out strip the discovery of new reserves even as oil reserves are depleted affecting the world economy.
A survey of the four countries with the biggest reported reserves Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait reveals major concerns especially since consumption is increasing by 2 to 3 million barrels a day, each year.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The depletion of global oil reserves within the next four years may well speed up the fulfillment of the End Times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
Two-thirds of the world's oil reserves lie in the Middle East and increasing demand will have to be met with massive increases in supply from the region. Scientists now believe that within four years global oil reserves will begin to run out.
This report if correct could have a major impact on the Middle East region and in particular the major oil producers in the region Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran. In reality, the sale of oil by these middle eastern nations has been the key factor in the influence of these nations who lead the war against the Jewish state in the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
Psalm 83, Daniel 11, and Ezekiel 38 reveal the Middle Eastern nations that attack Israel in the Last Days. In the book Joel chapter 2 there is a description of the mighty militia that will go to Jerusalem to set up its world empire.
Daniel 9:27 and 11:45 reveals that a world economic leader will come to power. Revelation 18 says that he will be headquartered in the midst of these oil rich nations, nations about to deplete their oil resources.
The time seems short until Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

Ahmadinejad: World's problems due to the rejection of Allah
The Iranian President Ahmadinejad, in a recent telecast seen throughout all of Europe, said that the world's problems are rooted in a rejection of Allah, the Islamic god, and if Jesus Christ lived today, He would stand up against any world powers that act as bullies. Ahmadinejad said that the crises in security, the family, morality, politics, security, and the world economy have come about because the prophets have been forgotten, Allah has been forgotten, and some world leaders are estranged from Allah.
Tehran has accused the world of trying to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran and to do all possible to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions of developing a nuclear weapon of mass destruction.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by Iranian President Ahmadinejad that the world's rejection of the Islamic god Allah, is the basis for all of the world's troubles, is not correct politically, or prophetically - according to Bible prophecy.
The very vocal president of Iran, President Ahmadinejad, has, over the last several years, denied that there was ever a Jewish Holocaust, that Israel must be wiped off the Earth, and that the Jewish state is near to a complete collapse. This radical rhetoric from the radical Muslim leader has now hit a higher pitch as he says that god, the Islamic god Allah, is very displeased with the world's rejection of the Islamic deity and thus there are many problems. However, the true God of the Bible and the people of the Bible, the Jews and the Christians, this one true God is indeed displeased with rejection of His plan for all of human kind.
Revelation 16 is evidence that even in a very troubled time, the Great Tribulation, and faced with intense judgment, men will not repent and turn to Jesus Christ (Revelation 16:8-11). It is not rejection of the Islamic god Allah but rejection of the true God of the Bible that brings judgment upon the world. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Thousands of Jews gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing on Easter Sunday
As Christians from around the world traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Jewish worshipers from many nations of the world as well gathered in Jerusalem for the Passover feast to remember the exodus from Egypt some 3500 years ago. On Easter Sunday, the Jewish worshipers flooded the Western Wall plaza for the annual prayer service of the priestly blessing as Jewish men who claim to be of the priestly tribe of Levi pronounced the traditional blessing on the thousands of Jews gathered for this event.
The priestly blessing dates back to Biblical times when each year on Passover, the priest who operated the Tabernacle worship services would bless all the Jews who made their way to the tabernacle and later to the temple in Jerusalem on this pilgrim feast day.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Jewish worshipers gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem to receive the priestly blessing during Passover has a great historic significance as well as a powerful prophetic significance.
On a yearly basis, Jewish worshipers from around the world flood to the Western Wall plaza to receive the priestly blessing from men who claim to be members of the Kohanim, the priestly family from the Jewish tribe of Levi. This annual event dates back to Biblical times when the priest would set aside one of the days in the eight day feast of Passover to bless the Jewish people.
Today, this event speaks of the fact that there are Jewish men in Jerusalem that believe they are qualified to be modern-day priests and they are preparing to serve in the temple when it is erected on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Bible does say that there will be a temple in Jerusalem before Jesus Christ comes back to the Earth (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1).
Not only are these men studying the priestly duties to operate the temple, all implements have been made and are now in storage to be used at the temple. Everything, actually, is ready for the next temple to be built in Jerusalem. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Thousands of Christian pilgrims gather in Jerusalem to celebrate Easter
Under high security for the Jewish feast of Passover in Jerusalem, the Israeli government has a large security force in place for the Easter weekend as well as thousands of Christian pilgrims flood the city for this very special holy day that marks the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. With both holidays happening at the same time this year as it did some 2000 years ago, the city of Jerusalem has come virtually to a standstill as both Jewish and Christian worshipers gather into the Old City for special events.
These two holy days, Passover for the Jews and Easter for the Christians, are an intricate part of the faith and experience of both Jews and Christians.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Jewish holy day of Passover and the Christian celebration of Easter have a unique relationship and a prophetic significance.
This year, the Jewish feast day of Passover and the Christian holy day of Easter happen at the same time as they did in 30 AD in the city of Jerusalem. Almost 2000 years ago, the Jews were celebrating the Passover Seder, the same night that Jesus gathered his disciples around him in an upper room in Jerusalem to also go through the traditional Jewish meal to mark the Passover. On that first Easter weekend, resurrection weekend, Jesus Christ raised from the dead after having been crucified on a cross at 3:00PM Passover afternoon.
The biblical account of this historic event shows that the one proclaimed to be the Jewish Messiah was buried on the Jewish feast of Unleavened Bread and rose from the dead on the Jewish feast day of First Fruits. These Jewish feast days Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits, have a prophetic significance in that Jesus was Passover Lamb for the Christians (I Corinthians 5:7). The Apostle Paul also wrote in I Corinthians 15:20 that Jesus was the First Fruits for those who will receive Him as their Savior.
The person Jesus Christ, the Messiah, fulfilled the first three of the Spring feast days for the Jewish people as was foretold. Jesus Christ will fulfill the last three Fall Jewish feast days as well and by doing so, become the Jewish Messiah and the Christian Savior, becoming the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for both Jews and Christians.

Pope Benedict says saving humanity from homosexuality is as important as saving the rainforest
Pope Benedict in an address to the senior staff at the Vatican said defending God's Creation is not limited to saving the environment, but must also include protecting man from self destruction.
The Pope compared saving humanity from homosexual behavior is just as important as saving the rain forest and he rejected the gender theory which he says blurs the distinctions between male and female and could lead to self destruction of the human race. Gay groups and activists have reacted angrily after the Pope's comments on the gay lifestyle and these activists say the Pope's comments are irresponsible, unacceptable and hurtful.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Pope Benedict's statement that we must defend God's Creation as it relates to the human race or face self destruction is correct Biblically and prophetically as well.
Whatever your religious concerns are about Pope Benedict, you must compare his statements on sodomy, homosexuality, with the Bible and Biblically, the Pope is correct about the distinction between male and female and their sexual activity.
God's Word sets the standard for male/female relations in Genesis 2:21-24. The Bible talks about unnatural affections for the same sex in Romans 1:21-32. The Apostle Paul sent young Timothy, a partner in ministry, to churches in that day to tell them that in the Last Days there will be those men who are lovers of their own selves, unholy, without natural affections, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, even some of them having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof, II Timothy 3:1-5.
Pope Benedict's statement that we must defend God's Creation, humanity in order to make certain this world does not self destruct is right on target Biblically and prophetically. In Romans 1, the Word of God says that in the Last Days men will worship the Creation instead of the Creator.
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Pope Benedict says that the Roman Catholic Church is the one church that Jesus Christ established on earth
In a document issued by the Vatican's congregation for the doctrine of the faith, it contained Pope Benedict's assertion that the Roman Catholic Church is the one church that Jesus Christ established on earth.
The Pope's statement also said that other Christian denominations cannot be called "churches" in the proper sense of the word, a comment that has prompted condemnation and confusion from Protestants and the Orthodox.
The pronouncement from the Vatican said that Pope Benedict was trying to clarify teachings from the second Vatican council of 1962-1965 which the current Pope attended and has been very concerned over its liberal interpretations.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Pope Benedict's statement that the Catholic Church is the church that Christ established on earth has a prophetic significance that is played out during the End Times according to Bible prophecy.
Pope Benedict, the very conservative leader of the world-wide Catholic Church, has made another very controversial statement. Last summer, the Pope angered the Muslim world when he referred to Islam as a dangerous religion.
This summer, the Pope's new assertion that the Catholic Church is the church that Jesus Christ establish here on earth has brought about condemnation and confusion. What is interesting is that the Pope's assertion parallels the prophecy found in the book of Revelation about a one-world church in the future.
John the Apostle, who wrote Revelation, wrote in Revelation 17 of a one-world church coming to power in the first half of the Tribulation Period and being led by the Antichrist. That church described in Revelation 17 will be headquartered in Rome, Italy and will be the only church of that time in history.
John, in Revelation 17, describes in detail that coming false church during the Tribulation Period. Hear me please now, I did not say that the Catholic Church is that false church of Revelation 17.
I have only reported the latest news from the Vatican which does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

President Obama tells the Moslem world America is not a Christian nation
President Obama reached out to the Moslem world on his recent visit to Turkey, a Moslem nation, and made the statement that America is not a Christian nation, a statement made in an effort to reduce the tensions between the Moslem world and the West, in particular the US.
During his visit to Turkey, President Obama told its leaders, parliament and Turkish students that America is not a Christian, Jewish or Moslem nation, but a nation of citizens. The US president also made it clear that the US was not now nor will ever be in a war with Islam and he made this declaration in one of the major Moslem nations of the world, Turkey, who President Obama believes can be the bridge between the Moslem world and the West.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The declaration by President Obama that the US is not a Christian nation is technically correct, but philosophically and prophetically misleading.
In an effort to reach out to the Moslem world, President Obama said America is not a Christian nation which indeed is technically correct. However, it contradicts the philosophical understanding for decades that America is a nation based upon a Christian-Judeo ethic coming from the Word of God. It is very interesting that Obama made this statement in what is referred to as a Moslem nation, whatever that term means. Technically, President Obama is correct, the US is not a Christian nation even though it is made up of a mass majority of citizens who claim to be Christian.
This report speaks somewhat to the question that is often asked, "Is the US in Bible prophecy?" The answer to that question is "No". With the possible exception of a reference to America in Zechariah 14:2 where it says at the time just before Jesus returns to the earth, all nations, even the US if they are still around after seven years of judgment during the Tribulation, will gather at Jerusalem.
Remember however that before the Tribulation, the Rapture takes place and Christians depart this earth and go into Heaven to be with Jesus which could well render the US a nebulus entity, I Thessalonians 4:13-18 and I Corinthians 15:51-53.

President Obama says that the United States will never be at war with Islam
Addressing the Turkish Parliament, United States President Obama said that the United States is not and will never be at war with Islam and he called for a greater partnership with the Muslim world and said that the United States will launch outreach programs in the near future. The president said America's relationship with the Muslim world cannot and will not be based on opposition to Al Qaeda, while at the same time, admitting that the trust that binds the two has been strained.
At a news conference, President Obama urged Turkey to help bridge the gap between the Muslim and Western worlds and said that Washington supported Turkey's efforts to join the European Union.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The declaration by President Obama that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam is incorrect according to Bible prophecy.
President Obama made his first state visit to a Muslim country with an address to the Turkish parliament and declared the United States is not now and will never be at war with Islam in an effort to reach out to the Muslim world. Obama made this statement in the Muslim nation that was the main force behind the spread of Islam into the West for more than 400 years. The fact is that the declaration by President Obama is contradictory to the end times scenario found in Bible prophecy.
A close study of Bible prophecy will reveal an alignment of nations that will attack Israel (Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, and Psalm 83) and the lowest common denominator among these nations is their religion which is Islam. Another ancient Jewish prophet, Joel, fortells of a mighty militia that will be formed, the largest military might in the history of the world, and this militia will attack Jerusalem (Joel 2:1-4).
Indeed Islam is not mentioned in Bible prophecy but the nations that today do embrace Islam as their religion are the major players in the last days. This prophetic attack on Israel happens after the Rapture of the Church which may well render the United States inoperative - not involved in the fight against Islam. Even so Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The G-20 has made some radical changes to set in place a new world order
World leaders from the 20 economic powers among the nations of the world agreed on some radical changes at the G-20 meeting in London while, at the same time, admitting much still needs to be done to restore the world's economy. US President Obama stated that by any measure the London summit was historic and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown declared that the Washington consensus is over and a new consensus is in place to take global action together to deal with the problems from the global economic crisis.
The G-20 leaders agreed to fund the international monitary fund, a global organization with more than a trillion dollars to cure the crisis and to set tougher restrictions in the financial dealings of the nations of the world somewhat of a new world order.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the G-20 makes radical changes to set in place a new world order, Biblical prophecy for the last days comes better into focus.
Leaders from the top twenty industrial nations of the world met in London to see if they could bring stability to the economic crisis that has caused major financial problems to not only the top twenty industrial nations, but the poor nations in the third world as well. Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister and host for the G-20 summit, had pushed a new world order from the outset and the actions taken by the summit attendees seem to have adopted Brown's approach to stability.
A global solution to a global crisis is right in line with the scenario in Bible prophecy for the last days. A coming world dictator, known in Scripture as the Antichrist, will bring stability to international financial crisis by having the citizens of the world become involved in a global structure that requires conformity to the dictator (Revelation 13:16-17). These verses reveal that anyone that wants to buy or sell must have a special identification in the forehead or on the back of the hand. Revelation 18 foretells of an international economic headquarters that will be located in Biblical Babylon which is modern-day Iraq.
Decisions by the G-20 did bring Bible prophecy better into focus - Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
The G-20 leaders agreed to fund the international monitary fund, a global organization with more than a trillion dollars to cure the crisis and to set tougher restrictions in the financial dealings of the nations of the world somewhat of a new world order.

As the G-20 makes radical changes to set in place a new world order, Biblical prophecy for the last days comes better into focus.
Leaders from the top twenty industrial nations of the world met in London to see if they could bring stability to the economic crisis that has caused major financial problems to not only the top twenty industrial nations, but the poor nations in the third world as well. Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister and host for the G-20 summit, had pushed a new world order from the outset and the actions taken by the summit attendees seem to have adopted Brown's approach to stability.
A global solution to a global crisis is right in line with the scenario in Bible prophecy for the last days. A coming world dictator, known in Scripture as the Antichrist, will bring stability to international financial crisis by having the citizens of the world become involved in a global structure that requires conformity to the dictator (Revelation 13:16-17). These verses reveal that anyone that wants to buy or sell must have a special identification in the forehead or on the back of the hand. Revelation 18 foretells of an international economic headquarters that will be located in Biblical Babylon which is modern-day Iraq.

The Palestinian Authority has warned Palestinians that they will face a death penalty for selling land to Jews
The Palestinian Authority has issued a warning to Palestinians against selling their homes or their properties to Jewish people saying that those who violate the order would be accused of high treason, a charge that carries the death penalty. The chief Islamic judge of the Palestinian Authority, Sheik Rajab Tamimi, said that the existing fatwa, a religious decree, bans Muslims from selling property to Jews which according to Islamic teaching is a grave sin and, if ignored, the death penalty would be applied. The sheik said that the ban was necessary to counter the Jewish efforts to change the Arab and Islamic culture of Jerusalem to make it a Jewish city instead of a religious, political, and spiritual capital of the Palestinian people.

Even though the Palestinian Authority gives the death penalty to a Palestinian who sells land to Jews, the fulfillment of end time Bible prophecy will not be stopped.
The Palestinian Authority has, for years, implemented the death penalty on Palestinians that have sold land or even been involved in an arrangement to sell land to the Jewish people. One of the Muslim judges involved with the Palestinian Authority has issued another warning and a reminder to the Palestinian people that Islamic law forbids the sale of property to Jews by Muslim people.
This report brings to mind several issues that have a connection to end time Bible prophecy. The Palestinian Authority, the governing body of the Palestinian people, has no authority to issue a death penalty but past experience show they can back up their warning and a number of Palestinians have been executed for selling property to Jews - evidence that the Palestinians, Edomites of history, all descendents of Esau, hate Jews (Genesis 27:40-41).
As it relates to the land that might be bought or sold - the land is God's land (Leviticus 25:23) and He has promised it to the Jewish people and those promises are contained within the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 15:18), the Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-9), and the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:17).
In the future, land owned by the Palestinians will not be sold to the Jews but instead given to them by God. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Tony Blair says the Middle East peace process is in great jeopardy
Even as Israel was installing a new Prime Minister, (PM) Binyamin Netanyahu, the Peace Envoy for the Quartet, Tony Blair was saying that the Middle East peace process was in very great jeopardy and Israel must fully support the goal of living in peace next to an independent Palestinian state.
Blair said that a period of political inactivity had harmed the peace process and there needed to be a combination of strong political negotiations toward a two-state solution and a major change on the ground.
Blair said that with the new US administration and the new Israeli government in place, the time is right for progress in the Middle East peace process in 2009.

There is a great prophetic significance to the statement made by the peace envoy for the Quartet that the Middle East peace process is in very great jeopardy.
Even as the newly elected Israeli government was being sworn in, the Middle East Peace Envoy for the Quartet, Tony Blair, was telling the world this is a critical time for the Middle East peace process. Tony Blair believes that the Barack administration and the newly installed Israeli government must move quickly to bring together a peace process that will allow for a two-state solution as a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is so interesting to me to see Tony Blair, a world renouned political leader, warning that this is a critical time for a peaceful solution for the Middle East and these two people who have actually been in conflict for hundreds and thousands of years must come to a peaceful coexistence.
The world is watching as one man works to bring about this peace, a peace between two peoples that already have a peace agreement. This scenario, a man trying to bring peace to the Middle East, is found in a prophetic scenario for the Last Days, Daniel 9:27 where it talks about a "he", the Antichrist, who will confirm a peace agreement between Israel and her neighbors.
I do not know, nor am I saying Tony Blair is that Antichrist, but he sure is a perfect prototype for this coming world leader.
