Syria's Defense Minister, Ali Habib, has called on the Syrian troops to increase their training for the challenges and dangers ahead and added that Israel is taking unprecedented racist steps and is a source of concern worldwide. Habib added that Syria was at one of its most sensitive times in their history. With this harsh rhetoric coming even as Basher Assad, Syria's president, says he is interested in renewing peace talks with Israel in their quest to bring the Golan Heights back under Syrian control.
Israeli President Shimon Peres told the European Union foreign policy chief that Syrian President Assad must take the route of direct negotiations without preconditions and make a decision whether he wants peace or continued conflict.

The call by the Syrian defense minister for his military to prepare for war with Israel is a page out of Bible prophecy.
In a recent statement by Syrian President Basher Assad from Syria's border with Israel, the Syrian leader said he will take back the Golan Heights from Israel either through diplomatic means or by force militarily and Assad set the tone for the harsh rhetoric coming from his Syrian defense minister. Even as Defense Minister Ali Habib was calling for Syria's military to prepare for a war with the Zionist state of Israel there are already thousands of Syrian troops near the Israeli-Syrian border. All of this military movement comes even as President Assad is telling European and United States leaders that he is ready to negotiate peace with the Jewish state.
This scenario is, as I said, a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days. In fact, the ancient Jewish prophet Daniel says in Daniel 11:40 that at the time of the end the king of the north will come against Israel. The king of the north is defined earlier in Daniel 11 as the modern-day state of Syria. One of the main themes in Bible prophecy is that nations of the Middle East will align themselves against Israel. In that scenario, Syria is the first nation to make a move to destroy the Jewish state and this will, in fact, begin when Israel is at peace (Ezekiel 38:8-11).
Syria's quest for peace with Israel but at the same time, preparing for war with the Jewish state, is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

The Israeli Prime Minister says the world cannot allow evil to cause massive death and that they must stop evil in due time
The Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, stood at the site in Germany where one million Jews were killed during World War II, the Auschwitz death camp, and said that the world cannot stand by and allow evil to cause massive death - they must stop evil in due time.
It was clear that the Israeli Prime Minister was comparing the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler during World War II in Germany to Iran's President Ahmadinejad who has repeatedly stated that Israel must be wiped off the face of the Earth and her name be forgotten forever. This even as the Iranian President is advancing Iran's nuclear program to produce a nuclear weapon of mass destruction.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to stop evil in due time, a reference to Iranian President Ahmadinejad's efforts to wipe Israel off the Earth, will not really affect the next holocaust which will be worse than the last one according to Bible prophecy.
The radical rhetoric of Iranian President Ahmadinejad calling for the Jewish state of Israel to be wiped off the Earth has caused Israel to place Iran as the number one threat to the Jewish state. Prime Minister Netanyahu told me that there is a difference between Hitler and Ahmadinejad. Hitler started a war to produce a weapon of mass destruction. Ahmadinejad is developing a weapon of mass destruction so he can start a war.
The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel did write about a war that Iran would be a part of in an effort to wipe Israel off the Earth (Ezekiel 38:5). That war, the Gog-Magog war, will end with most of the Islamic world being destroyed (Ezekiel 39:2). However, that will not be the end of a time when millions of Jews will be once again slaughtered. This next holocaust takes place during the seven year Tribulation period and especially in the last half of that time as referred to by Jeremiah as the time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7). During this future day of judgment, 2 out of every 3 Jews will be murdered and that means that 8 million Jews will be killed (Zechariah 13:8).
My prayer is that Jewish people forewarned will turn to the Messiah Jesus Christ before these Bible prophecies are fulfilled.

A Palestinian Islamic judge says there is no history of Jews living in Jerusalem over the last 3000 years
The Palestinian Authority's chief Islamic judge, Sheik Rajab Tamimi, says that there is no evidence to back up the claims that Jews have ever lived in Jerusalem or that the Jewish temple ever existed and the sheik claimed that Israeli archaeologists have admitted that Jerusalem was never inhabited by Jews. The sheik's announcement was made in response to a recent statement by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that Jerusalem is not a Jewish settlement and that Jews have been living in Jerusalem over the last 3000 years.
Tamimi accused Israel of distorting the facts and forging history with the aim of erasing the Arab and Islamic character of Jerusalem and launching an ethnic cleansing campaign to squeeze Arabs out of the city.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
For an Islamic cleric to deny the presence of Jewish people in Jerusalem dating back some 3ooo years ago is to negate the history of the Jewish Bible and Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
It seems difficult for me to believe that someone can make the statement that there has never been a Jewish presence in Jerusalem and on the Temple Mount - yet that is the statement of the chief Palestinian Islamic judge which seems to be coming from complete ignorance. In fact, there are a number of accounts of God's Word, the Bible, that challenges the declaration made by Sheik Rajab Tamimi.
The first such account is found in II Samuel 5 which records the capture of Jerusalem by King David, the second Jewish king. II Samuel 24:18 - 25 reports that King David also paid cash money to Ornan the Jebusite for his threshing floor on Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, where the King wanted to offer sacrifice.
King Solomon built the first Jewish temple on Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, some 3000 years ago (II Chronicles 3). Jews returning from the Babylonian Captivity rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem 2500 years ago (Ezra 1, 6). In fact, a Jewish man named Jesus Christ preached on the Temple Mount just outside the temple during his ministry in Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1-2).
Jewish history on the Temple Mount is certain and Bible prophecy about Jews and the city of Jerusalem are absolute - they will be fulfilled.

Israeli PM tells European leaders that Jews have been building in Jerusalem for three thousand years
As the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu met with the British PM Gordon Brown, the British leader urged Netanyahu to halt settlement construction in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, to which the Israeli PM said that Jerusalem is not a settlement, it is the capital of the sovereign state of Israel.
Brown said the UK was and is a loyal friend to Israel, but that the settlements, including the old city of Jerusalem, are what impedes the two-state solution to which Netanyahu reminded PM Brown that Jews have been building and living in Jerusalem for three thousand years.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
In the days before the Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns to the earth, the European leaders will push the Jews on the control of Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, according to Bible prophecy.
Israeli PM Netanyahu's visit to Europe to meet with European leaders was designed to have the Israeli leader give the reasons for a Jewish presence and in fact, an expanding presence in the old city of Jerusalem and the territories of Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu has been informing European leaders that the Jewish state has sovereignty over its capital city of Jerusalem and will make no concessions on where Jews can build or buy in Jerusalem. Netanyahu also said that Jews will continue to have a normal life in the disputed areas of Judea and Samaria.
The ancient Jewish prophets wrote of a scenario that we can see being played out right now between Europe and Israel. Daniel revealed that the Old Roman Empire would be revived in the last days and become a major political power in the world with a focus on the Middle East and especially Israel and Jerusalem, Daniel 7:7-24. Zechariah said Jerusalem would be the focus of controversy, Zechariah 12:2 and Daniel wrote that a European leader, the Antichrist, would bring about a short-lived peace to the conflict, Daniel 9:27.
As the European leaders continue to apply pressure on Israel over Jerusalem and the settlements, Bible prophecy moves very close to fulfillment.

Palestinian Leaders say there will be a Palestinian defacto state within two years
The Prime Minister of the PA Salaam Fayad has put in place a plan to have a de facto Palestinian state by 2011 and he believes this move will help the whole world to know that the Palestinian people are not prepared to continue living under a brutal occupation.
Fayad said a de facto state would force Israel to prove they are serious about ending the occupation of the West Bank and at the same time building facts on the ground so the Palestinian state can emerge as a fact that cannot be ignored.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With the announcement by the PA Prime Minister that there will be a de facto Palestinian state in place within two years the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad says a defacto Palestinian state in place will help a real Palestinian state to emerge as a fact on the ground in the present-day state of Israel. This scenario is what many ancient Jewish prophets wrote about over 2,500 years ago that dealt with the Jews and the Palestinians.
Genesis 25-37 lays out the history of two brothers: Esau and Jacob, who God said would become two nations, Genesis 25:23. Jacob did become the Jewish nation of today and Esau, the Palestinian people of today. The ancient prophet Obadiah reveals how the Edomites, the Palestinians, were run out of Southern Jordan 500 years before the birth of Christ and moved into Southern Israel, Obadiah 1-14.
Malachi says that in the End Times, these people would build a nation in Israel and God would call their borders the borders of wickedness, Malachi 1. Ezekiel wrote that the Palestinians would kill the Jews and take their land, Ezekiel 35. The last portion of Obadiah says that the God of Heaven would give the final victory to the Jewish people.
De facto Palestinian state or real Palestinian state, in the end, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israeli's prime minister tells United States and European leaders that the Jewish state has sovereignty over Jerusalem
On a trip to Europe, the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made clear to the United States and European leaders that Israel will not accept any limitations on its sovereignty in Jerusalem, a controversial discussion that has been the focus of both US and EU leaders in the lead up to these important meetings. The prime minister also stressed that normal life in the settlements will need to be assured this as both EU leaders as well as the Obama Administration have been pushing Israel to freeze all expansion and construction in the settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by the Israeli prime minister to United States and European leaders that the Jewish state has sovereignty over Jerusalem is evidence of the controversy surrounding the holy city as foretold in Bible prophecy.
The subject of the right for Jews to buy land or build on land located in the eastern section of Jerusalem has been the top of the agenda for a number of world leaders including US President Obama and several European leaders. One leader after another have told Israeli government officials that the Jews do not have the right to move in to what is claimed to be occupied land. Now Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has responded with what is a sovereign state's right to do and what is confirmed by the Bible.
From the pages of history in God's word as well as the prophetic passages in the Bible the Jews have the absolute right to claim Jerusalem as its sovereign political capital and its spiritual center as well (II Samuel 5 and 6). II Samuel 7 gives to the Jewish people God's promise that King David's people, the Jewish people, will be forever in the city of Jerusalem and that one of his descendants will rule and reign from Jerusalem forever. - that's the Davidic Covenant and that ruler will be Jesus Christ. The Jewish prophet Zechariah foretold of the controversy surrounding the city of Jerusalem that leads up to the return of the Messiah back to the holy city (Zechariah 12:2).
Prime Minister Netanyahu's statement to United States and European leaders about Jerusalem is indeed backed up by Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

A coalition of European legislators will meet to examine ways to stop the global spread of Islam
An Israeli member of the Knesset, Israel's legislative body, announced that a coalition of European legislators will come together to examine ways to stop the global spread of Islam. This announcement coming as Moslems around the world observed Ramadan, the Islamic holy days to honor the giving of the Koran to Mohammed.
Israeli member of Knesset Arieh Eldad announced an international conference, to be held in Jerusalem, will focus on how nations and the legislative bodies around the world might be able to stop the spread of radical Islam and the possible end of the democratic future in the western world. Ramadan, a month-long daytime fast for Moslem people is observed by 1.5 billion people around the world to mark the giving of the Islamic holy book, the Koran which does indeed call for the worldwide spread of Islam.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Much like the Bible, the Islamic holy book, the Koran calls for a worldwide kingdom for the end times which will not come about according to Bible prophecy.
As 1.5 million Moslems around the world observed the giving of the Koran by fasting during the day for the month of Ramadan, the Islamic doctrine of a worldwide caliphate or kingdom is understood by the Moslem world. Islamic doctrine says that Allah will lead this kingdom and the world will convert to Islam. Islamic eschatology states that prior to the kingdom, the Mahdi, the Moslem messiah, returns to set the world in place for this global caliphate.
The Bible, the Word of the true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus Christ reveals that Jesus Christ will indeed return to the earth to setup His Kingdom, Zechariah 6:12-13, Daniel 7:13-14 and Revelation 20:4-6. Before Jesus does setup His Kingdom, the Islamic world will be devastated, Ezekiel 38:18-39:5.
Though European legislators and even worldwide legislatures may try to stop the global spread of Islam, God's plan will be the way to victory. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Iraqi government wants to turn the Biblical site of Babylon into a major tourist attraction
With the rapidly improving security conditions in Iraq, the surrounding Babel province has persuaded the US State Department and the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage to embark on a preservation project with plans to make the ancient city of Babylon a major tourist attraction.
This war torn nation sees an opportunity to restore this Biblical city to a stage that could attract visitors from all over the world to the site of such great historic figures as Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the Great.
The US and Iraq will work together on this project that they believe can become at least what it was before Saddam Hussein if they are not able to bring it to where it was when the ancient city of Babylon ruled the world.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the US and Iraq work together to restore the ancient Biblical city of Babylon as a tourist attraction for war torn Iraq, the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
For many years, I have reported the restoration of the Biblical site of Babylon under the leadership of the late Saddam Hussein. There are reports that Saddam spent 500 million dollars to restore Babylon not necessarily as a tourist site, but because Saddam believed he was a reincarnation of King Nebuchadnezzar who ruled the world from Babylon 2,500 years ago.
This Babylon project is in reality setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. A number of ancient Jewish prophets wrote centuries ago that Babylon would once again come to power before it was totally and completely destroyed, which has never happened.
Revelation 18 calls for the literal city of Babylon to be the economic center of the world and to be ruled over by the Antichrist for the last three and a half years of the seven year Tribulation Period. Isaiah in his prophecy, chapters 13-14, Jeremiah in chapters 50-51 and John the Apostle, in Revelation 16:17-20 all call for the total and complete destruction of Babylon.

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

The Israeli government is studying plans for an international airport in the Jezreel Valley, site of the future Battle of Amageddon
A major political battle is raging over the pending construction of a new international airport in Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley, the site of the future Biblical, Last Days Battle of Armageddon.
The residents of this area say that the airport would bring significant harm to the agricultural land reserves of the Jezreel Valley and it is one of the worst elements of Israeli development policy.
Known as the "Bread Basket of Israel" the Jezreel Valley is not only vital to the agricultural needs of the Jewish state, but opponents to the planned airport say it would destroy the Biblical significance of the area and have a significant impact on tourism in the area as well.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Israeli government may want to construct an international airport in the Jezreel Valley, but Bible prophecy reveals something quite different for that location in the Last Days.
Since the beginning of the modern day state of Israel, the Jezreel Valley has been a major source for all the food stuffs that Israelis have consumed. The region of the Jezreel Valley has also been a key tourist attraction with Nazareth, home of Jesus Christ, on the edge of the valley and Megiddo, the site of 26 civilizations of the Jewish and Biblical peoples. With this proposal for the construction of an international airport in the valley, Israel's agricultural and tourism industries will be harmed significantly.
This aside, Bible prophecy calls for the Jezreel Valley to be the site of the Battle of Armageddon with the armies of the world gathering in this 1,000 square mile area to fight against the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:11-17 and Zechariah 14:4-5. This army, possibly 100 million soldiers, led by Satan, Antichrist and the False Prophet, will be defeated by Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:17-19. This Battle of Armageddon will bring an end to war, Jesus Christ will setup His eternal Kingdom at the conclusion of this battle.
International airport in the Jezreel Valley or not, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

This aside, Bible prophecy calls for the Jezreel Valley to be the site of the Battle of Armageddon with the armies of the world gathering in this 1,000 square mile area to fight against the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:11-17 and Zechariah 14:4-5. This army, possibly 100 million soldiers, led by Satan, Antichrist and the False Prophet, will be defeated by Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:17-19. This Battle of Armageddon will bring an end to war, Jesus Christ will setup His eternal Kingdom at the conclusion of this battle.
International airport in the Jezreel Valley or not, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A new Jewish interfaith group says the Jewish temple can be built on Jerusalem's Temple Mount without the destruction of the Islamic Dome of the Rock
Recently, a new Jewish interfaith group launched a project to diffuse religious strife by showing that the end of times vision of the Jewish people, a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, could be fulfilled without destroying the Islamic Dome of the Rock. Yoav Frankel, director of the initiative, believes that the Jewish temple can be built alongside the Dome of the Rock and this would transform the Temple Mount from a place of contention to a place of worship shared by Jews, Moslems, and Christians.
Islamic cleric Sheik Abdulla Darwish says that as long as there is one Moslem alive, there will be no Jewish temple and the Jewish activist Baruch Ben-Yosef, made it clear that the Temple must be built where the Dome of the Rock now stands.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The continuing debate between Moslems and Jews about what has the right to occupy the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock or a Jewish Temple, is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
3000 years ago the Jewish King Solomon built the first Jewish temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A second Jewish temple was also erected there after the Babylonian captivity and Jews returned to Jerusalem some 2500 years ago.
The destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple by the Romans in 70AD left the Temple Mount empty of a Jewish worship center. The Moslems, in 691AD, built the Dome of the Rock on the site where the two Jewish temples had once stood. For the last 2000 years, Jews have prayed daily for the temple to be rebuilt on the exact spot where the first two temples stood and where the Islamic building now stands. A growing number of religious Jews are preparing to erect the third temple on the Temple Mount and they believe that the Dome of the Rock must come down.
Many ancient Jewish prophets wrote of the temple being rebuilt in the last days - Daniel, (Daniel 9:27) Ezekiel, (Ezekiel 40-46) Zechariah, (Zechariah 1:16,6:12-13) and even the Apostle John (Revelation 11:1-2).
Any suggestion of building the Jewish temple alongside the Islamic Dome of the Rock contradicts prophecy.
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A group of extremist Christians say that God hates Jews
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, known for its anti-Semitic rhetoric, protested in front of several Jewish institutions in New York City recently and they were carrying signs that read, "God Hates Jews" as they confronted the leaders of these major Jewish organizations. The Anti-Defamation League's director of civil rights, Deborah Lauter, said that the Westboro Baptist Church is definately, unequivocally anti-Semitic.
A number of Jewish leaders and members of the community in New York City confronted the extremist demonstrators and said though they value the freedom of speech, they must stand up against bigotry and anti-Semitism.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Anti-Semitism from whatever source is blasphemy against God and will set the stage for the end times scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Jewish people in the last days.
I reported that extremist Christians say that God hates Jews but I must hasten to say that I would find it hard to believe that any true born again Bible believing Christian would ever be able to utter those words of God hating the Jews. One who believes in God's word as found in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 would be compelled to believe what the Lord said about the Jews - that they are His chosen people (verse 6) and that He chose them because He loved them (verse 8). I must believe that these so-called extremist Christians are indeed extremist but not Christians according to the Biblical defination of "Christian".
This report is evidence of how it will be during the seven years of judgment for the Jewish people referred to as the Tribulation. During the Time of Jacob's Trouble, as this time is talked about in Jeremiah 30:7, Jews will be persecuted and killed. Angelic forces from the heavenlies will try to kill all of the Jews on the Earth (Revelation 12:13-17). The Islamic world will move to annihilate the Jews in the Middle East (Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, Psalm 83, and Joel 2). The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah says that during this time of judgment soon coming, two out of every three Jews will be killed (Zechariah 13:8).
God loves the Jews and He will send Jesus Christ the Messiah to save them both physically and spiritually. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

China's military, the world's largest, prepares for long range war
China's military held war games recently aimed at deploying forces at long distances, and exercise that sent some 50,000 armored troops, the People's Liberation Army, the world's largest standing military force to distant locations to see if this military force can perform at the level needed to keep China secure.
The People's Liberation Army, 2.5 million soldiers, has undergone a rapid upgrade in recent years in both equipment and doctrine and with annual double digit increases in military spending to provide cutting edge fighter jets, nuclear submarines, and hundreds of ballistic missiles.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
China's ever expanding economy and military buildup is a precursor to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the last days.
During these times of global economic crisis the nation of China has not only held its own economically but it has even grown faster than any superpower nation of the world. At the same time of economic prosperity, the Chinese military has been on a program to upgrade all of its forces and equipment to a cutting edge state of the art level needed for the security of the world's largest nation. With the world's largest military force, 2.5 million troops, the Chinese military may well be the top fighting force in the world today.
This report is an indication of the fact that China is ready to fulfill the 6th vial judgment found in Revelation 16:12. That judgment will be the kings of the east which will include China, the kings of the east making their way to Jerusalem to join the other armies of the world (Zechariah 14:2) under the leadership of Antichrist, Satan, and the False Prophet as they will try to destroy Israel and stop the Messiah Jesus Christ from coming back to Earth. China's military will lend its activities to all the world's military conflicts as foretold in Revelation with a proliferation of wars and rumors of wars that Jesus said would proceed His coming (Matthew 24:6-7).
China's latest military exercises are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

An expert says oil supplies are running out very fast
According to a leading energy economist, the world is heading for a catastrophic energy crunch that could cripple a global economic recovery because most of the major oil fields in the world have passed their peak production.
Dr. Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the International Energy Agency in Paris, says most governments are oblivious to the fact that the oil on which modern civilization depends is running out faster than previously predicted and that global production is likely to peak in ten years, at least a decade before most governments had predicted.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With the oil supplies of this world running out faster than what was previously thought, the stage is being set for the Middle East to move ahead quicker with its last days plan for this world which is found in Bible prophecy.
The discovery of oil in the early 1900's in the Middle East has played a key role in the policies and politics of both the Arab and Moslem world. The major suppliers of oil to the world, both the West and the far East, are the Middle Eastern states that have become rich and powerful because of this ever increasing need for oil products. With the report that these oil supplies are now running out, there is a very interesting development taking place in the Middle East.
Iraq which has a vast amount of oil under their surface has only extracted two percent of their total oil resource. As the other oil producing nations run out of oil, Iraq will become the greatest source for oil and thus they could well become the richest nation in the world, which fits a prophetic scenario for the end times. Iraq, Biblical Babylon, will be the headquarters for a one-world economic power that will be led by the Antichrist, Revelation 18.
This passage in Revelation reveals the economic power base will come into existence three and a half years before the return of Jesus Christ. The Messiah will return to destroy Babylon, modern day Iraq, as foretold in Bible prophecy, Isaiah 13-14, Jeremiah 50-51 and Revelation 16.

Sixty percent of Israelis believe President Obama cannot be trusted
A recent poll in Israel revealed that Israelis believe the US administration under Barack Obama is not objective in the Middle East dispute, but he is pro-Palestinian and when asked if Obama can be trusted, sixty percent said the US president cannot be trusted to take Israeli interest into account when making decisions pertaining to the Middle East.
These poll results also come from the continuing pressure being applied by the Obama administration to freeze all building in the Jewish settlements including the city of Jerusalem, a non starter for the majority of Israelis.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The deterioration in the relationship between the US and Israel is a precursor to an End Times prophecy that will be fulfilled in maybe the very near future.
The recent poll taken among Israelis that indicated the lack of trust the body politic of Israel has for US President Obama in his Middle East policy decisions is a revealing insight into how the world scene is being prepared for End Time prophecy. Israel's best friend has always been the US over the years and now that relationship is coming apart. The US has always been the protector of the Jewish state when Israel would come under fire or be threatened by one of its many enemies.
Bible prophecy does reveal that the world will move against the Jewish state and the Time of Jacob's Trouble will intensify to the time that the Jewish state will come to the point of total destruction, Daniel 11:40-45, Ezekiel38, Psalm 83 and Joel 2:3. The Lord will dispatch the Archangel Michael to come to earth to protect the Jewish people from complete annihilation, Daniel 12:1-2. I believe America has been blessed because of her relationship with Israel, but at the rapture of the Church, Revelation 4:1, the backbone of this nation of America, the born-again Christians, will depart and the US-Israel relationship will totally disappear.
Today, we are seeing this scenario coming better into focus and with the Israeli lack of trust for the Obama administration increasing, it is indeed a precursor to Bible prophecy being fulfilled.

Tony Blair says there could be Middle East peace within the year
The Middle East Peace Envoy for the Quartet (United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia) Tony Blair says an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement could be reached within the year but only if all sides agree to peaceful negotiations. The former British Prime Minister said there is a great sense of hope and expectation in the Middle East after United States President Obama's recent outreach to the Islamic world, and if everyone would commit themselves to a two state solution, this peace deal could be in place within the year.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The fact that the Middle East Peace Envoy, Tony Blair, says there could be peace in the Middle East within the year is a page out of Bible prophecy for the end times.
Following the recent speech by United States President Obama to the Moslem world, there has been expectation that there is indeed hope for some kind of peace in the Middle East. The fact that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he and Israel would accept a Palestinian state howbeit a demilitarized state has also given hope to those working for a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Now, with Tony Blair's comments that there could be a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians within the year, the peace process seems to be moving towards a deal.
This scenario is really a page out of Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of the revival of the Old Roman Empire which would be led by a world leader powerful enough to put this peace deal together. The prophecy of the Revived Roman Empire (Daniel 7:7,24) could well be fulfilled in the near future. The infrastructure actually is in place - that is the European Union. The world leader that comes from that political powerhouse (Daniel 7:8,24) could be the permanent president that is called for in the European Union's Lisbon Treaty. Daniel 9:27 does reveal this world leader will bring peace to the Middle East.
Tony Blair's declaration of a Middle East peace within the year does indeed set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

An Islamic cleric in Israel says that he would rather die than to see the rebuilding of a Jewish temple in Jerusalem
Sheik Raad Salah, the leader of the Islamic movement in Israel and speaking to Moslem students at Haifa University, told them that he would rather die than to give up the Islamic holy site where the Dome of the Rock is located in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and suggested the students should be ready to do the same. Sheik Salah also repeated his claim that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was intending on completing his plan to gain control of the Temple Mount and to rebuild the Jewish temple on the site that Moslems believe is holy - the third holiest site after Mecca and Medina.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Moslems that would give their lives to protect and possess the Temple Mount in Jerusalem area actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is becoming more and more a center of controversy. The Temple Mount is the third holiest piece of real estate for Moslems. To the Jews, it the most holy site in all of the world and the site of the first and second Jewish temples. Moslems who are ready to die to protect and possess this site would fit a scenario that will be played out in the last days according to Bible prophecy.
Zechariah said that the Temple Mount would be the center of controversy in the end times (Zechariah 12:2). Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel said that the Moslem world would come to Jerusalem to take it from the Jewish people (Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3). Ezekiel also wrote of a temple on the Temple Mount for the Messiah to rule and reign from that location (Ezekiel 40 - 46). Ezekiel's temple is the temple for the kingdom period in the future. The next temple to be erected on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will be the one standing during the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1). However, this next temple will not be built until after the Rapture when Christians depart from Earth for the heavens. Until that time, no one can build the temple even Prime Minister Netanyahu.

A group of religious Jews have built the temple in Jerusalem
I must confess the headline for this report is a bit misleading however, I am partially correct. I should have said that a group of religious Jews have built the worlds largest model of the holy temple and it is only a few hundred yards away from the Temple Mount, the site where the Jewish temple existed until 70 AD. The model was built with extensive consultation with the experts and offers a view of the Holy of Holies plus the furniture of the temple including the Ark of the Covenant. And, it was built to help Jews connect with their heritage and to create a desire among the Jews for the rebuilding of their temple in Jerusalem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The building of the world's largest model of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem is evidence that we are moving closer to the time when the real temple will be built in Jerusalem according to Bible prophecy.
A yeshiva (a school for Jewish young men to study about the temple) located in Jerusalem has built the world's largest model for the purpose of helping Jews to connect to their heritage but also at the same time, to help non-Jews with the awareness of the rich and broad Jewish history that they have in this holy place.
Bible prophecy does speak of a temple standing in Jerusalem in the last days. 2500 years ago, the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would come back to Earth and build His temple for the kingdom period (Zechariah 6:12). However, the Messiah's temple will only be built after Jesus comes back to the Earth. There will be a temple that the Jews will build in Jerusalem during the Tribulation period, that seven years leading up to the Lord's return. Bible prophecy for that temple is found in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1.
All the preparations have been made for the next temple, the Tribulation temple. They have 28,000 trained priests. They have the implements to operate the temple and the high priest has been chosen. We are at the point in time when the next temple can be built. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Palestinian leaders hold a historic meeting in Bethlehem and they call for the continuation of the armed struggle against Israel
The Palestinian Authority (PA) President, Mahmoud Abbas, opened the gathering of 2,000 members of his political party, Fatah, in Bethlehem recently and immediately praised the shaheeds, the terrorists who became martyrs in the Palestinian struggle to establish a Palestinian state that they hope will replace the Jewish state of Israel.
This historic conference, the first in twenty years, called for continued resistance against Israel using militant force if necessary, to achieve their goal for the state of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital city.
The speakers and delegates accepted a Hamas-like platform, a terrorist platform, and indicated by that they are not true peace partners when they said there is only room for one state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and that is a Palestinian state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Palestinian conference in Bethlehem which called for armed resistance against the state of Israel is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
For the first time in twenty years, the Palestinian political party Fatah held a major conference in Bethlehem recently and revealed their true colors. Listening to the 2,000 delegates in attendance at the conference and hearing the leaders of the Palestinian people call for ridding the Middle East of a Jewish state through arms struggle is a page out of Bible prophecy.
The Palestinian people of today are the descendants of the twin brother of Jacob whose descendants are the Jewish people of today. You can read much in Bible prophecy about the Edomites, the Palestinians. For example, Malachi 1, Jeremiah 49, the little book of Obadiah and Ezekiel 35.
Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, wrote 2,500 years ago that in the Last Days, the Palestinians would rise up to kill the Jewish people and to take their land, Ezekiel 35:5, 10. That little prophetic book written by Obadiah reveals that the Edomites, the Palestinian people, will be as if they have never been, a very strong prophecy.
The words and calls for actions against the Jewish people at the Palestinian conference in Bethlehem is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A Stockholm based peace institute is reporting that global military spending has set a new record high up by 45% since 1999 and in contrast to civilian aerospace and airlines, the defense industry remains healthy.
The global financial crisis has yet to have an impact on major arms companies with the 100 leading defense manufacturers selling arms worth 347 billion dollars during 2007, the most recent year for which reliable data was available.
The US remains the biggest spender though China and Russia have reduced the gap with both China and Russia tripling their military spending budgets and Russia is maintaining plans for further increases despite severe economic problems.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With global military spending setting new record highs in today's economy, there is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer to fulfillment than ever before.
Military information reveals there are over 150 conflicts and wars around the world today and this ever increasing number is what has caused global military spending to set new record highs in our world. Throughout the continent of Africa, there are numerous armed conflicts intensifying. In the Middle East, we hear daily reports of new conflicts or an intensification of the wars now in progress. The US, China and Russia lead the way in military spending and these big three seem to be right in the middle of almost every war.
This report is evidence that Jesus was correct when He said in His Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, that before He came back to the earth, there would be wars and rumors of wars, nations against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms, Matthew 24:6-7. Many Jewish prophets wrote of this same scenario for the Last Days that would include Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, Joel, Obadiah and Malachi just to name a few. These ancient Jewish prophets echoed the words of Jesus Christ, in the Last Days, wars will be spreading around the world.
This record high in global military spending is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

United States soldiers have been accused of damaging the ancient Biblical site of Babylon
According to reports from Iraqi officials, the United States military did major damage to the Biblical site of Babylon including the area of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon which was converted into Camp Alpha the site of a multinational military operation. Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world, was damaged when the United States soldiers and their contractors caused major damage to the Ishtar Gate and the Processional Way by digging, cutting, and leveling the areas to meet military standards.
The United States Defense Department has agreed to pay $800,000 to help restore the Babylon site, a gesture that Iraqi officials say will help them repair the Biblical site to become a major tourist attraction for Iraq.

The fact that the United States military did harm to the ancient Biblical site of Babylon and will now pay to fix the damage is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
During the days of the late Saddam Hussein the ruler of modern day Iraq spent over 500 million dollars to refurbish the ancient city of Babylon located on the Euphrates River some 58 miles out of downtown Baghdad. In fact, Saddam thought that he himself was the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar who was the leader of the Babylonian Empire and the one who made the city of Babylon one of the Wonders of the Ancient World at that time in history. The fact that the United States military damaged this archaeological site is evidence that the prophecy of Jeremiah about Babylon has never been fulfilled.
Jeremiah, the ancient Jewish prophet in chapters 50 and 51 says seven times that Babylon will be completely destroyed and never lived in or visited ever again. Bible prophecy reveals that the literal city of Babylon will come back to power and will be the headquarters for a one world economic political governmental system to be headed up by the Antichrist (Revelation 18). The lead up to this happening will be the institution of a global economic structure (Revelation 13:16-17).
Before Babylon is completely destroyed, Jesus Christ will call Christians up to be with Him at the Rapture of the Church which could happen even today. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
