The International Court of the Sanhedrin, located in Jerusalem, has issued an injunction against the United Nations Security Council to prohibit them from discussing the Goldstone Report, a United Nations human rights report which is characterized a malicious politicalization against the state of Israel in the most recent Gaza war by the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin is a judicial court recognized by the state of Israel but says its authority comes from the Bible and the Sanhedrin was active in Jerusalem 2000 years ago and believes its authority dates back to the times of Moses and the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai.
Until now the Sanhedrin had focuses its authority on issues surrounding the building of the next temple in Jerusalem but now believes this injunction issued to the United Nations is in line with the Scriptures and acts as a warning to all the nations of the world.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Along with the injunction issued by the Sanhedrin against the United Nations, this Jewish court has also issued a prophetic warning that has great significance for the end times.
The Sanhedrin is an august body of 70 wise Jewish scholars which was formed several years ago on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Tiberius, the exact location where they has disappeared 1400 years ago. The Goldstone Report is a slanderous report against Israel and the Israeli Defense Force in the most recent military action in the Gaza Strip. The Sanhedrin issued this injunction against the United Nations discussing the report in the security council and at the same time, they issued a prophetic warning directed to the United Nations and the nations of the world.
The letter from the Sanhedrin to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, warned that the nations could face the judgment of God at the Valley of Jehoshaphat in Jerusalem if they continued their attack on Israel. The reference on the Valley of Jehoshaphat is found in the prophetic book of Joel in the Old Testament (Joel 3:1-2). This prophecy is indeed a warning to all the nations of the world about a judgment that they will face when the Messiah Jesus Christ comes back to the Earth at the end of the seven years of great judgment on the Earth.
The warning issued by the Sanhedrin to the nations of the world is indeed a prophecy from God's Word that will be fulfilled.

More than half of the adults surveyed across the world believe that creationism must be taught alongside the theory of evolution
To mark the 20th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his work on the Origin of Species, a survey was given to adults in ten countries of the world on 5 continents and the results indicate that more than half of those surveyed believed that creationism must be taught alongside the theory of evolution in the classroom. People were asked which of these origins of man was closest to their own opinion and on average 53% felt that creationism should be taught alongside Darwinism, a result that bothered the head of the Darwin Now program. Dr. Vern Baker said that the debate about Darwinism has been portrayed as very polarizing - science vs. religion.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The debate over the origins of man, Darwinism vs. creationism is a debate that has an interesting connection to the return of Jesus Christ at His Second Coming.
For over 150 years there has been a debate on the origins of man and the leader of the opposition fighting against the Biblical account of Creation, Charles Darwin, has been the center focus in this debate. Darwin's work, The Origins of Man, published 150 years ago, forms the debate as science vs. religion. The world bought into the idea that Darwin had science on his side in the debate. This argument has been disqualified by the reality of the scientific world questioning some of Darwin's theory as just that - a theory on the origins of man not scientific fact.
The Bible speaks to this issue as a significant attitude that will be prevalent at the time of the return of Jesus Christ to the Earth. The Apostle Peter wrote in II Peter 3 that there would be those who deny the return of the Lord Jesus Christ as they also deny the Creation account in Genesis 1 (II Peter 3:3-5). The truth be known, both Creation and the theory of evolution must be taken by faith, but the Biblical account gives us an eyewitness account of the origins of man where God created all things and then gave Moses the account of what happened so that he could record it in the Bible.
The Bible is absolute truth - evidence that Bible prophecy also will be fulfilled.

The Iraqi government wants to rebuild its nuclear reactors and become a nuclear player again
Almost 19 years after British and American war planes destroyed Saddam Hussein's last two nuclear reactors, the Iraqi government has started working for approval to become a nuclear player in the Middle East and has approached the French nuclear industry about building at least one of the reactors that was bombed at the start of the first Gulf War.
Iraq's renewed interest in the nuclear industry comes at a time when its near neighbor, Iran, is accused of diverting its growing nuclear capacity to develop a nuclear weapons program.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Iraq's renewed interest in developing a nuclear program has great significance for the Middle East region today, but also for the future as well according to Bible prophecy.
Back in the 1980's, the Israeli government sent war planes into Iraq to take out a nuclear reactor that kept Saddam Hussein's government from becoming a major nuclear power at that time. British and American war planes in the 1990's finished off the last two nuclear reactors that the Iraqi's had for developing nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD).
Now, the Iraqi's want to restart its nuclear program and once again become a nuclear player in the Middle East. With its neighbor Iran developing a nuclear WMD, Iraq believes that it has to stay on an equal footing in order to maintain its security which is actually logical thinking. However, this scenario also is a precursor to a prophetic scenario for the end times found in Bible prophecy.
The ancient Jewish prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both wrote of a day when Iraq, biblical Babylon, would be a major player not only in the Middle East but the entire world, Isaiah 13-14 and Jeremiah 50-51. John the Apostle who wrote the book of Revelation, revealed that Iraq, biblical Babylon, would be the center of world power in the last 3 1/2 years of the seven year Tribulation Period, a period just prior to the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Revelation 18.
A nuclear powered Iraq today would be the path to Bible prophecy for tomorrow being fulfilled.

Obama says peace is now possible in the Middle East as he marked the 15th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan
US President Obama says that a peace treaty signed 15 years ago between Israel and Jordan is a reminder that peace is also possible today despite obstacles that may seem impossible to overcome, saying that it only takes the courage of men like King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin to change the course of history.
Meanwhile, a Jordanian newspaper says in a recent public opinion poll that 80% of Jordanians consider Israel an enemy and rarely can you find a Jordanian who would say that peace between Israel and Jordan is a reality.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
On the 15th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel, the reality is that this peace agreement has never been normalized, which is a precursor to the scenario on this issue as found in Bible prophecy.
In October of 1994, the world watched as then President Bill Clinton brought together the King of Jordan and the PM of Israel to sign the historic peace treaty agreed to by both Israel and Jordan. I stood there that day watching the two countries sign this peace agreement and thinking of the prophetic scenario for a peace treaty in the Middle East as called for by Bible prophecy.
Daniel 9:27 reveals that there will be a peace treaty that a world leader, the Antichrist, will bring about. Watching Israel and Jordan sign this peace treaty also caused me to reflect on the two previous treaties that Israel had signed with their Middle East enemies, the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt in 1979 and the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinians in 1993. With three peace treaties signed and yet not having real peace in the Middle East, these treaties basically have never been normalized.
Look again at Daniel 9:27. It does not say that a peace treaty will be signed, but it will be confirmed. That means treaties will be on the table not working, waiting to be confirmed and that's the situation today.

An expert says that 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.

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.

The United States and Israel are holding a joint military exercise to prepare to defend the Jewish state from a missile attack
Denying that their joint military exercise has anything to do with any new development in the Middle East region, the United States and Israel are holding joint military exercises meant to stimulate various threats on Israel and to test different defense systems. The three week exercise, Juniper Cobra, though not related to regional conflict, does send a signal to potential threat-makers that the United States and Israel will be ready for any such attack and the two nations will have an opportunity for a technological and professional exchange with the US military meant to enhance Israel's aerial defense capabilities.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Israel's largest ever joint military exercise with the United States is a reminder of an end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
After Israel was dropped from participating in a joint military exercise with the Turkish military, the Turks then held that military drill with Syria. Now comes the three week long military exercise with, Juniper Cobra, between Israel and the United States, keeping the Middle East region very busy militarily. Both Israel and US political and military leaders say that this joint operation had been planned for a number of weeks. Even as the two nations denied that this the largest military exercise that Israel has ever participated in is surely a signal to any potential threat on Israel that they should reconsider.
As I give this report, I cannot but think about the end time scenario on this issue that can be found in Bible prophecy. Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse warned of wars and rumors of wars in the world in the last days (Matthew 24:6-7). Ancient Jewish prophets wrote of the times in the history of Israel when the Jewish state would come under attack by those who would have a mission to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth - prophets like Daniel, Ezekiel, Joel, and Jeremiah. Much of the focus in Bible prophecy is on the wars in the Middle East and always with the Jewish state involved - even the mother of all battles, the battle of Armageddon which actually begins as a campaign with the armies of the world gathering in Jerusalem to begin this end time war (Zechariah 14:2).
These joint military exercises between Israel and the United States are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Vatican has created a new church structure to accomodate non-Catholics
Pope Benedict has approved a new church provision that will allow non-Catholics and in particular, the Anglicans, to convert to Catholicism while at the same time, maintaining many of their distinctive spiritual and liturgical traditions.
The Vatican made this decision in response to the disillusionment of some Anglicans over the election of openly gay bishops and the blessing of same sex marriage which has caused a major uproar in the Anglican church not only in England, but across the world.
This never-before provision for Protestants to become a part of the Catholic Church has many Protestant leaders concerned about the breakdown in doctrinal differences between the Catholics and Protestants that came out of the Reformation 500 years ago.

The announcement by the Vatican in Rome that the Pope has approved a church provision that will allow non-Catholics to convert to Catholicism is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
In response to the outcry by the Church of England, the Anglicans, about women bishops, openly gay bishops and gay unions, the Vatican has made a way to accommodate these disgruntled Protestants. This Vatican accommodation to Protestants has Protestant Church leaders preparing to see a flow of new converts to Catholicism and its liturgical pattern of worship especially in light of the growth of the emerging church philosophy.
Revelation 17 predicts a worldwide church will be in operation during the seven year period of judgment found in Bible prophecy and known as the Tribulation. In the first 3 1/2 years of this time in the future, this one-world religion will be headquartered in a seven-hilled city, Revelation 17:9 and that city would be the city of Rome, the location of the Vatican. This mother-son cult first established in Babylon 4,500 years ago, Genesis 11:4b, has survived history and will play a major role in the last days.

Russia's PM Vladimir Putin wants to adopt the Chinese Communist party model of government
Russian PM Putin's political party, United Russia, has been examining how it can emulate the Chinese Communist Party, especially its skill to shepherd China through the financial crisis relatively without hardship.
The leaders of Putin's political party held special meetings with Senior Chinese Communist Party officials to hear first hand how the Chinese are able to use a one party system to keep tight control over the country while still driving significant economic growth.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As we watch Russia and China becoming more powerful in our world today, we must realize how this geopolitical activity is so similar to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
Before the fall of the Soviet Union, Communism was a major force in the political operation of this union of European nations. Supposedly, it was so effective that the upstart nation of China appropriated all they could from the Soviet model of governing to establish their brand of Communism.
Now, there has been a reversal of roles between the two nations of Russia and China, with Russia wanting to emulate the Chinese brand of Communism to help its efforts to once again be a superpower in our world.
As a student of Bible prophecy, I recognize that this scenario unfolding is the same scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the last days. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel mentioned Magog, Ezekiel 38:2, which is the Biblical name for Russia. Magog or Russia will lead a coalition of nations at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation Period against the Jewish state of Israel as foretold in Ezekiel 38.
John, the Revelator, in Revelation 16:12 speaks of the Kings of the East which logically would be led by China today. These kings will be the major players at the end time of the Tribulation Period and go to Jerusalem to try to stop the return of the Messiah.
With Russia and China learning from each other how to become superpowers in our world today, the stage is indeed set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jordan's King Abdullah warns Israel about disastrous repercussions if it crosses a red line on Jerusalem
The Monarch of Jordan, King Abdullah, has urged the international community to act firmly against any Israeli action aimed at changing the identity of what the king called the holy city as he referred to the city of Jerusalem which he said is holy to both Moslems, Jews, and Christians. Abdullah said that Jerusalem is a red line and any manipulation of this city would have disastrous repercussions on the security and stability of the Middle East region since the status of Jerusalem is one of the most sensitive issues in the decades old Middle East conflict.
The Jordanian King stated that Israel captured Jerusalem in the Six Day War of 1967 and reunited the city and now considers the entire city to be its eternal indivisible capital.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Jordan's King Abdullah, in a recent warning to Israel, said that if the Jews crossed a red line on Jerusalem, it could cause disastrous repercussions which is actually a page out of Bible prophecy.
For 19 years, from 1948 to 1967, the Jordanians controlled the Old City of Jerusalem which is the location of the Temple Mount, a very controversial peace of real estate. With the reunification of the city of Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, the Jews took control of the Old City and thus the Temple Mount. King Abdullah's warning to the Jews about changing the status quo of Judaism's most sacred site sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
2500 years ago, Zechariah wrote that Jerusalem would be the center of controversy and a heavy burden to those associated with it (Zechariah 12:2-3). The ancient Jewish prophet had much to say about Jerusalem for the last days including the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to build His temple on the Temple Mount, the location where He would rule and reign over a worldwide kingdom (Zechariah 1:16;6:12-13).
The warnings from King Abdullah about Jerusalem are indeed a page out of Bible prophecy for the end times - prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Peace activists staged a protest of Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley with signs reading, "Disarmament or Armageddon"
To draw attention to their protests, peace activists from Greenpeace and World March staged a demonstration at Mount Megiddo, the Israeli archaeological site in the Jezreel Valley, to warn the world that it must disarm or face the Biblical battle referred to as Armageddon. According to Greenpeace there are 23,ooo nuclear warheads in the world today and just 500 detonated at once could cause an ice age for 10 years. And therefore, they held a die-in to alert the world of the nuclear danger today.
During the die-in the activists displayed a large banner which read, "Disarmament or Armageddon", a reference to the last days battle in the Jezreel Valley as foretold in Bible prophecy.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A protest by peace activists in the Jezreel Valley at Megiddo calling for a worldwide nuclear disarmament or face armageddon is a reminder of the Biblical prophecy that focuses on this area of the world.
Any student of Bible prophecy and, in fact, almost everyone has heard about that battle of Armageddon. This end times war is to take place in the Jezreel Valley at Mount Megiddo in the center portion of the state of Israel. Recently, a group of peace activists held a protest on Mount Megiddo which is today an archaeological site and they met there to demonstrate against nuclear proliferation in our world today. The activists called for total disarmament or face Armageddon. The reality is that this world is not going to disarm and get rid of all their nuclear weapons - quite the contrary. There are now more nations that ever before working to develop nuclear weapons of mass destruction.
Bible prophecy does call for the end time battle known as Armageddon. Revelation 16:13-16 says that Satanic forces will be used to bring all the nations of the world to the Jezreel Valley in Israel. Zechariah 14:2 says that the beginning of this campaign will be when all nations join together in Jerusalem to try and stop the return of the Messiah Jesus Christ back to the Earth. As these armies will retreat to the Jezreel Valley where evil will try to overcome good, Jesus Christ will prevail and will be the victor in the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19:11-22).
Protests by peace activists at Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley is only evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A majority of Nobel jury members objected to Obama's peace prize
There are reports coming out of Oslo, Norway that three of the five members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee had objected to the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to the United States President Barack Obama, and in a surprise move, the Nobel committed attributed the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama less than nine months after he had taken office. According to the Nobel committee secretary, the decision was unanimous by the Norwegian parliament appointed committee as they honored Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
One member of the Nobel committee, who represented the right wing political parties in Norway, led the way in objecting to the choice of Obama because she questioned his ability to keep his promises.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even though the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to United States President Obama was a major surprise, it is a scenario that has many similarities to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
President Obama himself when awakened and told that he had received the Nobel Peace Prize was as surprised as much of the rest of the world. The reports that revealed the selection was actually based on President Obama's first days in office as the leader of the free world have many questioning the decision made by the Nobel committee. This scenario, as I said, does have many similarities to the last days scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
There will be an international leader who will come to power in the Tribulation period, that is in the future, and he will be able to bring a supposed peace to the world, in particular in the Middle East (Daniel 9:27). This global leader has 27 names in Bible prophecy with the best known, the Antichrist. Revelation 13:2 says that this world leader comes out of the Old Roman Empire, the European Union of today, and that same passage says that the Antichrist will be energized by Satan. Revelation 13:16-17 says that he appears at a time on the world scene when an international economic crisis is in place.
The stage is set for a Nobel Peace Prize recipient to take charge of the world. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Scientists in China say they have discovered reptile fossils dating back over 150 million years ago
Researchers in China say they have discovered the fossils of a new type of flying reptile that lived more than 160 million years ago and it provides the first clear evidence of a controversial idea called Modular Evolution.
The twenty new fossils found in Northeastern China show similarities to both the primitive and more advanced flying reptiles and date back to the time when flying reptiles flourished between 65 and 220 million years ago.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The discovery of the fossils of the supposed missing link in the family of the flying reptiles actually proves the Bible as it relates to the prophecies for the last days.
Once again, scientists rush to the media world with information about a supposed link in the evolutionary chain, this time with the latest research on the ancient creature, a flying reptile. The report coming out of China is that a discovery of twenty new fossils of a flying reptile, that is a combination of both the primitive and more advanced flying reptiles, is actually what they call the "missing link". These new found fossils set a date for this flying reptile at between 65 and 220 million years ago.
This latest report from the scientific world is evidence that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled even today. The Apostle Peter in his last writing, II Peter 3, wrote that in the last days, there would be those that deny God had created the world as recorded in Genesis 1. The Genesis 1 account says that God created the heavens, the earth and all that in them is in six 24 hour days not over millions of years, that is if you take the Bible literally.
God told Moses in Exodus 20:9-11 that He created the heavens, the earth and everything in them in six 24 hour days, again that is if you take the Bible literally. We must take the Bible literally or how can we believe what it says about Jesus, His death and resurrection and our salvation.
Supposed scientific fact that contradicts the Bible is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Russia and China have signed a major trade agreement that has Russia supplying gas to China
Russian PM Vladimir Putin traveled to Beijing, China to sign a major trade agreement with his Chinese counterpart that will supply China with nearly 2.5 trillion cubic feet of gas per year via two pipelines originating in Siberia.
China has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has been searching far and wide for new sources of energy with a focus on Russia as a potential supplier of large amounts of natural gas.
There are few details to the gas trade agreement or other economic deals reached between the two nations, but Vladimir Putin said the bi-lateral economic cooperation has withstood the test of global financial crisis.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A major gas trade deal between Russia and China focuses the world on two superpowers today and two major players in the future according to Bible prophecy.
When it comes to superpowers in our world today, both Russia and China would be included on the list. With the passing of time, these two world powers have grown closer together in economic, political and military issues of the day. Now, with the signing of a gas trade agreement, Russia will supply China with the much needed energy source that is essential for China to keep its ever expanding growth on track.
What is so interesting in this report for the student of Bible prophecy is that both Russia and China have a major role in the last days scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. Russia at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation and China at the end of this time of testing. Ezekiel 38:2 mentions Magog as the leader of a coalition of nations that will align themselves against Israel at the beginning of the Tribulation. Magog is modern-day Russia. Revelation 16:12 mentions the "Kings of the East" making their way into Israel at the end of the Tribulation Period and China is the leader today of the nations of the far East.
As a student of Bible prophecy, I keep a close watch on China and Russia and this latest gas trade deal between these two nations is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

There are Jews in Israel preparing for service in the rebuilt Jewish temple
A group of religious Jews who live in the Jordan Valley near the ancient city of Jericho are taking practical steps to prepare for the building of the third temple in Jerusalem by preparing descendants of the Kohanim, the priests, and the Levites for service in this next temple. These Jewish leaders have established a training center where temple priests can learn exactly how to conduct the daily temple services and offer the required sacrifices as dictated by the Jewish laws from the Biblical book of Leviticus.
The training center will include an exact replica of the temple where the student-priests can learn to do their duties which are required and this training center, the organizers believe, comes at an historic time marking the beginning of the work for the third temple.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
With the establishment of a training center in Israel to prepare the Jewish priests to operate a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem we see Bible prophecy ever so close to being fulfilled.
Recently, the Moslem violence on the Temple Mount focused the world on a controversial piece of real estate and an even more controversial project on this site - the rebuilding of a Jewish temple. Moslem concerns about the Jews taking the Temple Mount to build a temple there have been fueled by the number of projects going on to prepare for the eventuality of a Jewish temple in Jerusalem.
The Temple Institute, for example, has prepared all the implements to be used in the next temple. The Harrari Harp Factory has made the harps to be used when the next temple is erected on the Temple Mount. Gershon Solomon's Temple Mount Faithful have the cornerstone by which they hope to start construction of the next temple. Now, near Jericho in the Jordan Valley of Israel, there is a training center to teach the priests and the Levites how to serve in the next temple.
Bible prophecy says that there will be a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in the last days (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1). This a temple that will be built during the seven year Tribulation period, that time of testing yet in the future.
As evidenced by this report, the next temple has been prepared for and construction could start very soon. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Iranian official says his country will blow up the heart of Israel
A top official with Iran's most powerful military force, the Revolutionary Guard, says that Iran will blow up the heart of Israel if US or Israeli missiles land in Iran. This latest statement by Iranian officials comes on the heels of similar remarks made by Iran's Deputy Army Chief last march warning that his country will eliminate Israel if it attacks the Islamic republic.
The army chief also said that Israel was very vulnerable and he dismissed allegations that Iran was worried about any Israeli maneuvers or preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The threat by Iran to blow up the heart of Israel is another threat to the Jewish state that was predicted thousands of years ago in Bible prophecy.
The latest threat to blow up the heart of Israel is only one of many coming from the present Iranian regime. Iran's Prime Minister Ahmadinejad's call for Israel to be wiped off the Earth has been heard around the world and is unprecedented among world leaders. To have a nation's leadership threaten the existence of another nation with its total elimination should have been immediately challenged by all world leaders. Instead, most world leaders want to sit and talk with the political and military of the nation threatening to take such a horrific action.
Any student of Bible prophecy however should not be surprised with the radical rhetoric and possible dastardly actions. The ancient Jewish prophets said that Israel would be under attack fighting for its very existence. Daniel and Ezekiel mentioned an alignment of nations that will try to eliminate Israel (Daniel 11 and Ezekiel 38). The prophet Joel wrote of a mighty militia being formed to attack Israel as well (Joel 2:3-4). John the Revelator revealed that even the angelic world be unleashed to try and destroy the Jewish people in the last days (Revelation 12:13-17). Satan knows that if he can eliminate the Jewish people God then fails to keep His promises of a Jewish people and a Jewish nation forever.

The world's Moslem population is now at one in every four people on Earth, that's 1.57 billion people
The global Moslem population now stands at 1.57 billion people meaning that one in four people on the Earth practice Islam according to a report by the Pew Forum, the most comprehensive of its kind, a survey that has provided precise numbers for a population whose size has long been subject to guesswork.
The project also presents a portrait of the Moslem world with some surprises including information that there are more Moslems in Germany, China, and Russia than there are in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Libya.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The latest global survey that reveals one in every four people on the Earth practice Islam is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer to fulfillment that ever before.
For a number of years the size of the Moslem population in our world has been subject to guesswork with estimates ranging anywhere from 1 billion to 1.8 billion people. Now we have been provided with the precise numbers by the Pew Forum on religion and public life, a report that indicates the total population of the Moslem world is 1.57 billion people on Earth, that's one in every four people of the global population.
It is also interesting to note that only 40% of Moslems live in the Middle Eastern Arab countries with the rest scattered around the world with large numbers living in Asia. This information is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer to fulfillment in light of the prophecies for the last days. Daniel 11, Ezekiel 38, and Psalm 83 list the nations that will come against Israel in the last days to wipe the Jewish state off the Earth. The lowest common denominator of these nations that align themselves against Israel is that they are Moslem. The ancient Jewish prophecy Joel states that a mighty militia will be formed to attack Israel (Joel 2:3-4) and the hate that radical Islam has for the Jews sets that prophecy in motion. This latest report on the global population of the Moslem world is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer to being fulfilled that ever before.

The EU is making plans for a bigger role globally
The recent "yes" vote by the Irish voters on the Lisbon Treaty has brought forward the prospects that the EU wants to play a greater role in world affairs and the ratification of the EU treaty by the 27-member states of the EU will set this plan in motion.
There are two provisions in the treaty which make such a plan very viable, with the position of a permanent president to lead the EU forward and the naming of a foreign policy representative, the EU would have a greater say in world affairs.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As the EU member states ratify the Lisbon Treaty, this European, political, governmental and economic power will indeed become a major force on the international scene, that is according to Bible prophecy.
The recent "yes" vote by the Irish on the Lisbon Treaty has moved the EU closer to becoming the united superpower that many EU member states want to see happen in our world today. In addition to the 27-member states of the EU today, the Mediterranean Union, 17 Middle Eastern states, will be integrated into the EU later this year, giving the EU 44-member states, a true force in global affairs.
This scenario fits the prophetic scenario that can be found in the Bible. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel revealed that in the last days, the old Roman Empire would be revived and become a major global power, Daniel 7:7, 23-24.
Libya's Colonel Khadafi said these 44-member states would be a revived Roman Empire, with the same borders of the old Roman Empire. The Lisbon Treaty also calls for a strong leader, a president, to take them into the future, a page from Bible prophecy where Daniel and John, the writer of Revelation, also call for such a leader known as the Antichrist, Daniel 7:8 and Revelation 13:1-3.

Palestinian leaders accuse Jews of spending billions of dollars to Judaize the city of Jerusalem
Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas is claiming that Israel and world Zionism are acting everyday to Judaize the city of Jerusalem by spending billions of dollars on behalf of the holy city as the Jews are buying more and more land in this controversial city.
The Palestinian leader also said that the Arab world must spend more to protect the city of Jerusalem as a Moslem city that will be the capital of a Palestinian state and Mahmoud Abbas said the Moslem world must do more militarily for Jerusalem.
The recent riots in Jerusalem over access to the Temple Mount by Moslems and Jews seem to have been a preplanned event and comes with calls by the PA to have Palestinians continue clashes on the Temple Mount in order to protect al Aqsa, the Temple Mount, and to prevent the Judaizing of Jerusalem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Violent clashes between Jews and Palestinians in Jerusalem over the Temple Mount are evidence that Bible prophecy is moving closer to fulfillment.
Recent clashes between Jews and Palestinians in the city of Jerusalem with a focus on the Temple Mount as the center of the conflict have drawn attention of the world to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Jews say these purchases of land in their historic homeland is a part of the endtime return to the land by the Jewish people as foretold by the ancient Jewish prophets.
Ezekiel, Malachi, Jeremiah and Obadiah, all Jewish prophets, wrote thousands of years ago that this scenario I have just reported would be the case before the Messiah returns to the earth. Malachi says that the Palestinians, Biblical Edomites, descendants of Esau, would return to rebuild in Israel, Malachi 1.
Ezekiel revealed that the Edomites, modern day Palestinians, would kill the Jews and take their land, Ezekiel 36. The prophets Jeremiah and Obadiah said the Lord would defeat the Palestinians and they would be as if they had never been, Jeremiah 49:18 and Obadiah 15-18.

The tensions on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem intensify even as tens of thousands gather for the priestly blessing
Large forces of police patrol the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as tens of thousands of Jewish worshipers flocked to the Western Wall Plaza for the yearly priestly blessings during the Jewish feast days the Feast of Tabernacles which brings Jews from all over the world to the Temple Mount. This week in Jerusalem has witnessed some rioting in the Old City as Jerusalem police closed down the Temple Mount to all visitors including Jews, Christians, and Moslems - this in light of the threats by Moslem leaders to have Moslem worshipers storm the Temple Mount to defend this sacred site from a Jewish takeover.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Controversy surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem especially as Jewish worshipers gather for the annual priestly blessing is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.
Twice yearly Jewish worshipers gather at the Western Wall Plaza just off the Temple Mount in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing, an event that attracts tens of thousands of Jews to this most sacred site in Judaism. During the last of the seven Jewish feast days, the Feast of Tabernacles, Jews from around the world flood into the city not only for the priestly blessing, but because Tabernacles is a pilgrim feast day which requires all Jews to come to Jerusalem. These activities by Jewish worshipers also attract the opposition to any Jewish presence on the Temple Mount as Moslems who claim it is a Moslem holy site fear that Jews want to take control of the Temple Mount to build a Jewish temple there.
According to Bible prophecy the Moslems have good reason to fear a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount. Zechariah, the ancient Jewish prophet, prewrote history when he wrote 2500 years ago that Jerusalem would be the center of controversy in the last days (Zechariah 12:2-3). Zechariah also wrote that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would come back to Earth to take control of the city of Jerusalem and then build His temple on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 1:16; 6:12).
The activities by the Moslem worshipers to stop preparations for the building of the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount and the annual priestly blessing at the Temple Mount are evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Controversy surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem especially as Jewish worshipers gather for the annual priestly blessing is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.
Twice yearly Jewish worshipers gather at the Western Wall Plaza just off the Temple Mount in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing, an event that attracts tens of thousands of Jews to this most sacred site in Judaism. During the last of the seven Jewish feast days, the Feast of Tabernacles, Jews from around the world flood into the city not only for the priestly blessing, but because Tabernacles is a pilgrim feast day which requires all Jews to come to Jerusalem. These activities by Jewish worshipers also attract the opposition to any Jewish presence on the Temple Mount as Moslems who claim it is a Moslem holy site fear that Jews want to take control of the Temple Mount to build a Jewish temple there.

Jews in Jerusalem and around the world observe the seven day Feast of Tabernacles by living in thatched huts
The last of the seven Jewish feast days, the Feast of Tabernacles, is being observed by Jews in Jerusalem and around the world by building a "succa", a thatched hut, and then living in this succa for the entire week long Jewish holy days as they complete the annual cycle of Jewish holy days given to them by God some 3,500 years ago.
The succa, a thatched hut similar to the dwelling place of the Children of Israel during their 40-year long wandering in the wilderness on their trip to the promised land, will be erected near their homes and apartments so that the family may use this succa in celebration of this annual event. Thousands of Christians from around the world will join the Jews in Israel to celebrate the feast because of the Biblical directive for all, both Christians and Jews, to observe the Feast of Tabernacles on a yearly basis.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles by Jewish people in Jerusalem and around the world has not only a historic significance but a prophetic significance as well according to Bible prophecy.
Since the end of the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Jewish families in Israel and around the world have been erecting their succas, a thatched hut, to have it ready for the week long celebration of Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles.
The succa was the transportable housing for the Children of Israel as they wandered in the wilderness during that forty year period traveling from Egypt to the promised land. Jewish families will eat their meals, visit with family and friends and some even sleep in their thatched huts, the succa, for the entire seven days of the feast. The historic significance of this feast is to remind the Jews of their travels to the promised land.
Prophetically, this seven day feast is the time when Jews will look forward to the Kingdom Period promised by the Lord and revealed by the ancient Jewish prophets. At the Transfiguration recorded in Matthew 17, when Peter saw Jesus in His glorified body, along with Moses and Elijah, he wanted to build three tabernacles, three succas, because he thought the Kingdom had arrived. That physical earthly Kingdom will begin on a future Feast of Tabernacles when Jesus Christ sets up His Kingdom.
Jews celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles today, looks forward to a future Feast of Tabernacles and the Kingdom to come.

World powers hold talks on Iran's nuclear program
Only days after Iran was accused of secretly building a second uranium plant, world leaders sat at the table with representatives of the Iranian government to discuss their controversial nuclear program even as Germany said that Iran was failing to cooperate in the talks. As 5 members of the United Nations Security Council; Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany met with the Iranians, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency reported that Iran has been on the wrong side of the law in hiding the uranium plant, breaking a requirement of all members of the United Nations.
As these meetings are going on in Geneva, Switzerland the world is watching - especially the nation of Israel as they sit under a threat from Iran who said that Israel must be wiped off the Earth and they then test fired missiles that they say can reach any target in Israel.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As world leaders meet with Iran to discuss the threat of their nuclear program, a student of Bible prophecy realizes that this scenario can be found in the prophetic passages of God's word.
The game plan for the leaders of Iran over the years related to their nuclear program and the development of a weapon of mass destruction has been to talk until the talks fall apart, wait for some time, and then start new talks. This procedure has been repeated over and over and now a group of 6 major world powers have fallen into the trap and are now talking with the Iranians. This delaying action by Iran has only allowed this rogue nation to move closer to a nuclear weapon of mass destruction as they continue to enrich weapons grade uranium.
This scenario has set the stage for the prophetic scenario for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy. Iran, referred to in Ezekiel 38: 5 as Persia, has given evidence that they want to have Israel removed from the Middle East, in fact, the entire world. Iran's president, Ahmadinejad, seemed to quote Psalm 83:4 when he called for Israel to be destroyed and her name be forgotten forever. Though Israel is preparing to defend itself from an Iranian nuclear attack, the Bible says that the Lord will intercede to protect the Jewish nation from Iran (Ezekiel 38:18 - 39:6).
Talks or no talks in Geneva - Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
