Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair says it is crucial to resume peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians

The former Prime Minister of Great Britain Tony Blair, who is the Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet, made a statement on a CNN interview that it is absolutely critical for prompt resumption of the peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians or otherwise, a vacuum will be created that will suit no one but the extremists. Blair, who is the Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet (United States, European Union, Russia, and the United Nations) says he is optimistic that peace can be achieved between the two peoples but negotiations must get under way as quickly as possible.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The optimism for a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians as revealed by the Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For a number of years, world leaders have been working to bring about a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but all to no avail. Today there seems to be no end in sight for such a resolution to come about as the peace talks seem to be nowhere near resuming in the future. Middle East Peace Envoy Tony Blair, however, is optimistic that if he can get the Israelis and the Palestinians to the table, he can get a peace agreement out of the negotiations but the talks must begin very soon.

This scenario has a very close similarity to the prophetic scenario for a peace in the Middle East as revealed in Bible prophecy. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of the revival of the Roman Empire, the appearance of a world leader, and then this world leader bringing together a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians (Daniel 7:7-8 and 9:27).

The recent developments in the European Union looks like the stage is set for the appearance of the Revived Roman Empire. Tony Blair, who represents the European Union is optimistic about the peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians. All that is happening today is truly setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled in a future tomorrow.

Israelis are calling US President Obama a modern-day Pharaoh

The uproar over the 10 month construction freeze on the Jewish settlements put in place by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has many of the Jewish settlers saying that their prime minister is a modern-day Pharaoh, the Egyptian leader at the time of the Jewish Exodus from the Egyptian bondage of the Jewish people some 3500 years ago. A task force has been formed by a number of Jewish organizations which includes the over 500,000 Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria that believe Netanyahu, like the Pharaoh, is trying to prevent a new generation of Zionist pioneers from developing the land that God has given the Jewish people. One organization, For Freedom In Zion, says that it is not Netanyahu but the American President Obama who deserves the title of Pharaoh.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Pressure from the United States on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to implement a freeze on the Jewish settlements is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

In the recent announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of a 10 month freeze on construction in the area of Judea and Samaria, has caused an uproar among the Jewish settlers some 500,000 Jews living in what they claim is God-given land. The Jewish settlers are organizing efforts to rebuke their Prime Minister, reverse his decision on the freeze, and rekindle an effort for independence in this disputed real estate.

Bible prophecy speaks of a second Jewish state near the end of times in what we know today as Israel. Ezekiel 37:15-23 says that the second Jewish state will be called Judah. The prophet Ezekiel also speaks of a second Jewish state in chapter 35:10. Malachi, in chapter 2, tells the Jews that God hates separation from what He has joined together but it will be reality in the last days - there will be two Jewish states. Jeremiah, another Jewish prophet, says that in the last days the two Jewish states will come together once again at the time of the coming of the Messiah (Jeremiah 3:18).

The construction freeze on the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria is indeed setting the stage for a second Jewish state and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Thanksgiving Day is evidence that the US government and the Bible can work in harmony

The United States of America stops today to give thanks for all the blessings and freedoms that we have and this day is a special day set aside by the US government to do exactly what the Bible calls for us all to do, give thanks in all things.

Families will gather for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and dressing, the young men and even some of us old guys will break out in the annual game of touch football and the ladies, well they'll be there to cheer us on, and in fact heal up any of the bruises sustained in the afternoon free-for-all. Those of us with loved ones on a far away battlefield will thank God for their protection and ask God for their safe return to the family circle for next Thanksgiving: and all of this on a day of thanksgiving required by the Bible and set aside by decree of our own government.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Today is a day set aside for all of us to be thankful, but as we move closer to the time of the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, our world will become more and more unthankful, that is according to Bible prophecy. The principle of thanksgiving: there are over 100 locations in the Bible where the scriptures speak of thanks and thanksgiving. We are told to give thanks in all things for it is the will of God in Christ Jesus, I Thessalonians 5:18.

The product of thanksgiving: interestingly when we stop to give thanks, the end result is to our own personal benefit. Paul, an apostle, in a letter that he wrote to the Philippians, states that giving thanks brings us true joy. Paul also wrote the people in Colosse that giving thanks helps us to abound in the faith, a faith that is needed for all of life Colossians 2:7.

The prophecy of unthankfulness: as we approach the time of the Second Coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Paul reminded us that he wrote a letter to Timothy to tell him that people would be unthankful at that time, II Timothy 3:2.

Unthankfulness is one of the major signs of the last days and as those days approach we need to be looking up in anticipation of His coming, but also in thanksgiving as well. Remember on this day of thanksgiving, unthankfulness is an indicator, a trend, a sign of the judgment that is coming, that is according to Bible prophecy.

The UN wants a new global currency to replace the dollar

The UN has proposed the biggest overhaul of the world's monetary system since WWII by calling for the US dollar to be replaced with a global currency because according to a UN report, the system of currencies and capitol rules which binds the world economy is not working properly.

The UN conference on trade and development said the US dollar was largely responsible for the global financial and economic crisis and that the present system under which the dollar acts as the world's reserve currency should be subject to a wholesale reconsideration.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News


A call by the UN to move to a one-world currency, replacing the US dollar, is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

With many superpowers calling for a one-world currency, including Russia and China, there is now another voice saying the US dollar is part of the problem, not the solution to the global economic crisis. In fact, many economists say the dollar must be removed from the world currency if there is to be a resolution to the worldwide crisis. This all coming as the US continues to print more and more dollars which has China alarmed and saying this will only intensify the problem.

The Apostle John, who wrote the prophetic book of Revelation, revealed in chapter 18 that a one-world economic system will be in place during the last half of the seven year Tribulation Period and this economic power will be controlled by the Antichrist, a Satanically empowered world leader.

Revelation 13:16-17 tells us the people who want to buy or sell during that time must have an identification mark given to them by the economic system setup by the Antichrist. This entire worldwide economic system must have a one-world currency in order for it to work as prophecy foretells.

The call by the UN for the US dollar to be replace by a one-world currency is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that could well be fulfilled in the very near future.

A US senator is calling for a congressional investigation into the UN climate change research

Senator James Enoff from Oklahoma is calling for a congressional investigation into the research that has been used by the UN in its campaign to bring about change in international law as it relates to the global warming and the so-called climate change problems in our world.

The senator said that his call for an investigation into "climate gate" as he calls it, was motivated by the recent report of computer hackers obtaining 160 megabytes of emails from the climate research unit at a university in England.

These emails revealed that many scientific researchers and policy advocates are purported to have discussed the destruction and the hiding of data on global warming and climate change that did not support their global warming claims.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The possibility that the scientific researchers on global warming have been destroying evidence that does not support their global warming claims draws attention to an effort to manipulate the world, a move that has great prophetic significance.

Led by the former Vice President of the US, Al Gore, the so-called "scientific" world has been developing a global warming crisis that has manipulated the world into making ready to give way to a global governance or a one world government.

Biblically, global warming is impossible according to Colossians 1:16-17 where the Apostle Paul writes that by Jesus Christ were all things created in this world, Colossians 1:16. Verse 17 tells us that by Jesus Christ everything is held together, no global warming unless the Lord sends it.

Prophetically, that is the case. There will be ecological judgment on the earth in the future Tribulation Period. According to Revelation 8 and 16, the oceans will turn to blood, all the fish in the sea will die, all the grass and trees on the earth will be burned up and there will be much more ecological judgment on this earth.

There may be no global warming, but Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Israeli president tells the Egyptian president that Israel has no intentions of building a temple on the Temple Mount

At a meeting in Cairo, Egypt, Israeli President Shimon Peres told the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak that the Israeli government has no intentions of building a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and he is sorry for the frequent rumors and lies that keep creating fabricated crises. Mubarak said that Jerusalem is not only a Palestinian problem but a pan-Arab problem and Israel will suffer if a just solution is not found for the final status of Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by the Israeli president that Israel has no intentions of building a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem may be Israeli government policy but it contradicts Bible prophecy.

The continuing conflict about the status of the city of Jerusalem is always on any agenda of the meetings between Israeli leaders and other world leaders. Thus was the case when recently Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak hosted Israeli President Shimon Peres in Cairo, Egypt. Mubarak warned Israel that the status of Jerusalem is not only a Palestinian problem but it is a pan-Arab issue as well and especially the status of the Temple Mount. Over the years, there have been continuing rumors that Jews were going to storm the Temple Mount and build their temple on this sacred holy site. Most of these rumors originating from Moslem sources.

The claim by the Israeli president that the Israeli government has no intentions of building a temple on the Temple Mount may be correct but it indeed does contradict the prophetic scenario for the Temple Mount and the coming temple. 3000 years ago, the Lord promised King David that their would be a temple on the Temple Mount forever (Davidic Covenant - II Samuel 7). The Jewish prophet Zechariah revealed that the Messiah would come one day to build that temple (Zechariah 1:16; 6:12-13). The priest-prophet Ezekiel described the temple that Jesus will build in the future kingdom to come on the Temple Mount (Ezekiel 40-46).

Though the Israeli government has no intentions of building a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Bible prophecy says there will be a temple there and may be very soon. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The 27 member states of the European Union have selected their new president to lead them into the future

At a summit meeting of the 27 member states of the European Union, the group selected both the permanent president and the foreign policy chief to lead them into the future, a future that will see this united states of Europe become an even more influential political and economic power on the world stage today. The Prime Minister of Belgium, Herman van Rompuy, was selected by the European Union nations as the President of the Council made up of the 27 member states and from Great Britain, the Baroness Catherine Ashton was elected as the Chief of Foreign Policy for the European Union.

With the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, which is now the law of the European Union, and the election of the two main leaders of this united states of Europe, the world has witnessed a history making event that will have great impact on world affairs in the future.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The European Union has made history with the election of its leaders for the future and has moved closer to a role in Bible prophecy as it relates to the end of days.

On March 25, 1957, the Treaty of Rome was signed in the seven hilled city of Rome to form the European Common Market. Now, over 50 years later, the Lisbon Treaty has been ratified and in accordance with the treaty, the member states of the European Union has elected the two most important leaders to take this United States of Europe into the future. History has been made with the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty and the election of these two leaders.

However, this history making event is setting the stage for Bible prophecy found in the book of Daniel to be fulfilled. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel prewrote history about the revival of the Old Roman Empire (Daniel 2:40-45; 7:7 and 24). This prophetic scenario reveals the revival of the Old Roman Empire with a leader to take this political economic entity into the future. With the merger of the 17 member states of the Mediterranean Union to the 27 member states of the European Union, you have the exact same borders as the Old Roman Empire in place.

The European Union may or may not be the fulfillment of Bible prophecy but for sure, the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire is in place today - ready to have the world witness the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in a future tomorrow.

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas plans to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel

A spokesman for Hamas, the Palestinian terror group, said that the Jihadist movement is loyal to Palestinian principles in its policy of terrorism against the Jews until Israel ceases to exist and said that any offer by the PA President Mahmoud Abbas to establish a Palestinian state, even with temporary borers, is rejected by Hamas.

Osama Hamdan, the Hamas spokesman, said the Hamas plan is based on obtaining a Palestinian state by force of arms, not by way of a grievance, a path which has failed and that Hamas will fight to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel altogether.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by Hamas, the Palestinian terror group, that they plan to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel, is a page out of Bible prophecy.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the focus of world leaders over the last several decades as they have worked to bring about a resolution to this conflict. However, the truth be known, as revealed in the recent Hamas declaration, the elimination of the Jewish state of Israel is a Palestinian principle. Both Bible history and prophecy confirm this Palestinian principle. In the book of Genesis, we have the record of the birth of Jacob and Esau, Genesis 25:23-26.

In Genesis 27, the account of Jacob stealing the birthright and blessing from Esau reveals that Esau then made a pledge to kill Jacob. History down through 4000 years has revealed to us the conflict continues even until today with Jacob, the Jewish people of today, and Esau, the Palestinian people of today, still in that conflict of 4000 years. Bible prophecy foretold of this conflict during the end times. Ezekiel, the ancient Jewish prophet, wrote that the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, the Palestinian people today, would want to kill the Jews, the descendants of Jacob, and then take the land that God had given to them, Ezekiel 35.

The Hamas plan to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Jews in Jerusalem have raised millions of dollars to be ready for the coming of the Messiah

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem is leading the way in preparations to build the next Temple on the Temple Mount and most of every day this organization is preparing for the arrival of the Messiah in Jerusalem.

Yehuda Glick, the Executive Director of the Temple Institute, says the Temple Institute has become a fixture of evangelical tours in Israel and that largely to their donations, the Temple Institute has spent around 27 million dollars on the preparations for the next Temple to be built in Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has raised the monies to make preparations for the building of the next Temple in Jerusalem and they believe that they could start building at any time, a fact that is confirmed by Bible prophecy.

For over twenty years, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem has been working to make ready everything needed to erect the next Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. They have biblical harps, the menorah, the table of shewbread, the priestly garments, even the garments for the high priest and they know where the Ark of the Covenant is located as well. Yehuda Glick, executive director of the Temple Institute, says that we live in a day of miracles and all that is predicted in the Bible, which will happen on the eve of the end of days, could happen today or tomorrow.

Glick's statement is confirmed by Bible prophecy. Ezekiel 40-46 gives a description of the Messiah's Temple that will be built when the Messiah returns to Jerusalem. We know that because Zechariah 6:12 says that the Messiah will come back and build His Temple where He will rule and reign forever, Zechariah 6:13. However, the Bible also speaks of a Temple in Jerusalem before the Messiah's Temple as foretold in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and revelation 11:1.

All preparations have been made for the next Temple to be built in Jerusalem. There's only one thing that must happen before the Temple is erected and that is the Rapture, when Jesus Christ will call all Christians into the heavens to be with Him forevermore.

The Foreign Minister of Italy says if Europe does not have an army, the EU will become irrelevant

The foreign minister of Italy says his country will push for the creation of a European army after the new Europe takes shape, a result of all 27-member states in the EU adopting the Lisbon Treaty.

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini says that with the Lisbon Treaty in force there is a risk that without a common foreign policy, Europe could become irrelevant in a world with China ruling the Pacific Axis and America in control of the Atlantic Axis.

Frattini believes a European army would cause the EU to develop a common foreign policy and then they could deal with issues like the Afghan War, the Iranian nuclear threat and all the rest of the problems in the Middle East.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call for a European Army is a step closer to the revival of the old Roman Empire, a unique aspect of the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

With the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty by all 27-member states of the EU, this United States of Europe is at the point in history when they are ready to become a major power on the world scene. The EU has a common currency, the Euro and a legislative body, the European Parliament and with these both in place now, the call for a European army will put all the pieces in place to be the replica of the old Roman Empire.

Bible prophecy has called for a revival of the old Roman Empire from even before the Roman Empire came into existence over 2,000 years ago. The prophecy of Daniel revealed this pre-written history 2,500 years ago. When Daniel interpreted the dream of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, he described the ten toes of iron and clay as the revived Roman Empire, Daniel 2:30-45. In Daniel's own dream, the prophet saw the Roman Empire with ten horns as the revival of the old Roman Empire, Daniel 7:7 and 24.

The Lisbon Treaty makes the EU a major political, economic and governmental force and with a European army, all the parts are in place for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The Palestinians are ready to declare the peace process a failure and name a Palestinian state unilaterally

The Palestinian leaders are preparing to ask the United Nations to recognize the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state and they say this action must be taken because the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is a failure with no hope of a negotiated peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The Palestinian state would be made up of the Jewish settlement area in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip with the Eastern section of Jerusalem as the capital city which is basically the same borders as the pre-1967 Six Day War.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The announcement that the Palestinian Authority will declare a Palestinian state unilaterally instead of through the peace process is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

As the Middle East Peace Process continues to falter with no solution in sight the potential declaration from the Palestinian Authority to establish a Palestinian state unilaterally seems to be the only way the Palestinian people can reach their goal of an independent Palestinian state. The unilateral move would have to pass through the United Nations Security Council and this is not an absolute path to the Palestinian desire to have their own state with Jerusalem as its capital city. The Israeli government says they also could take some unilateral actions and make Judea and Samaria a legal part of the state of Israel.

This scenario is setting the stage for the prophetic scenario found in the Bible to be played out. At least four of the ancient Jewish prophets speak in their prophecies to this issue. Malachi says that the Palestinians, the Edomites in Biblical times, will return to set up their borders which God will call the "borders of wickedness" (Malachi 1:2-5). Ezekiel says that the Palestinians will take the land from the Jewish people - land that God has given to the Jews (Ezekiel 35:10-12). Jeremiah and Obadiah reveal the scenario of a battle between the Jews and the Palestinians over the land that God has given to the Jewish people in the last days and this battle will continue until Jesus Christ returns (Jeremiah 49 and the last ten verses in Obadiah).

The stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The United States State Department wants all Jews evacuated out of the Biblical lands of Israel

A top United States State Department official said recently that the goal of the United States in its negotiations in the Middle East is to pressure Israel to expel Jews from the Biblical lands of Judea and Samaria in Israel in order to end the occupation that began in 1967. William Burns, Under Secretary of State for political affairs at the State Department, said that the bottom line is clear - two states living side by side in peace and security, a Jewish state with true security and a viable independent Palestinian state that ends the occupation that has been in place for over 40 years.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call by the United States State Department for Israel to evacuate the Jewish settlers from Judea and Samaria is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

There has been an ongoing debate between Israel and the rest of the world about the Jews living in the area of Judea and Samaria, known to some as the West Bank, if there is going to be any chance of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Israeli government after Israeli government has prolonged a decision on whether to concede to the pressure to remove the Jewish settlers and tear down these settlements. The almost 500,000 Jews who live in the area, many of them for almost 40 years now, say that they are not going to uproot their families and start all over again somewhere else in Israel. In fact, these settlers are determined to stay as they are no matter what the consequences.

Almost all of these settlers say they have a Biblical mandate to be living on this piece of real estate and they quote from the prophetic book of Ezekiel. These settlers are correct - the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel did write 2500 years ago that God would give this land in particular to the Jewish people and that they would prosper on the land (Ezekiel 34 and 36). These prophecies will be fulfilled, however, there is also Ezekiel 35 that will be fulfilled, a prophecy that says the Palestinians will rise up to take the land from the Jewish people. Even Ezekiel 37:15-23 foretelling two Jewish states in the region in the last days will be fulfilled. In fact, the stage is now set for all of these prophecies to be fulfilled in the very near future.

Jordan's ambassador to the United States says that Jerusalem is a ticking time bomb

The Jordanian Ambassador to the United States, Zeid al-Hussein, says that Jerusalem is a ticking time bomb where an attack by Jewish extremists on Moslem holy sites could erase any chances for peace between Israel and the Palestinians also undermining stability in the entire Moslem world. The ambassador said his country was worried that an incident on the Temple Mount could unleash emotions of an extreme nature and the consequences would be very severe.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by the Jordanian ambassador to the United States that Jerusalem is a ticking time bomb is actually a page out of Bible prophecy.

From 1948 through 1967 and the Six Day War, the Jordanian government had control of the Al Aqsa Mosque, the Islamic mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In fact, the Jordanians controlled the entire Temple Mount and allowed no Jews to enter the complex. The late King Hussein released control of the Temple Mount compound to the Palestinian Authority who have had custodial responsibilities of this holy site for the last 16 years. The Palestinian-Islamic Trust controls who can or cannot enter the compound. The Temple Mount or the Al-Aqsa, as the Moslems refer to this site, is the Islamic world's third holiest site. To the Jews and the Christians, it is their holiest site in the universe.

The statement by the Jordanian envoy is, in truth, reality. The Temple Mount, is indeed, a ticking time bomb. As I stated, this statement is a page out of Bible prophecy found in the prophetic book of Zechariah. The ancient Jewish prophet revealed 2500 years before the fact that Jerusalem and in particular the Temple Mount would be the center of controversy in the last days (Zechariah 12:2-3, 1:14-16). The prophetic phrase, "a cup of trembling" found in Zechariah 12:2 means that those who control this holy site will be intoxicated with power and will do so until the Messiah Jesus Christ returns to build His temple on this holy site.

Jerusalem as a ticking time bomb does set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Palestinians mark the 5th anniversary of Yasser Arafat's death and say the revolution is not over

Thousands of Palestinians came to the grave site of their former leader Yasser Arafat in Ramallah to mark the five years since his death and Yasser Arafat's successor, Mahmoud Abbas, said the revolution is not over, it may be the longest revolution in history and perhaps the last revolution in the world.

Yasser Arafat was the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization for 35 years and the iconic leader of the Palestinian people was able to unite them behind their cause, but he was also the one who abandoned the armed struggle in the 1990's and signed the Oslo Peace Accords.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the Palestinian people marked the fifth anniversary of Yasser Arafat's death, they also called for the revolution to continue, a scenario found in Bible prophecy for the last days.

The iconic leader of the Palestinian people for over 35 years, Yasser Arafat, was the one who was able to unite the Palestinians into the armed struggle against the Jewish state of Israel and he led the way until his death some five years ago. Arafat, a terrorist in the true sense of the word, supposedly abandoned the armed struggle in 1993 when he signed the Oslo Accords, the peace agreement between the Palestinians and the state of Israel.

This present-day struggle is the same as the prophetic scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Palestinians and the Israelis. The ancient Jewish prophets, Ezekiel, Malachi and Obadiah reveal the struggle and its conclusion in their prophetic books. Malachi wrote that the Edomites, the Palestinian people of today, would return and rebuild their nation, Malachi1:1-6. Ezekiel, in Ezekiel 35, foretells of the armed struggle that would result in Palestinians killing the Jews and then taking their land. Obadiah in his prophecy, says this struggle will continue until the Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns and gives the victory to the Jewish people, Obadiah 15-18.

The statement that the Palestinian revolution is not over is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Global military spending has hit a new record high

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.

The Syrian President tells Islamic leaders that his country will take the Golan Heights away from Israel by military force

Speaking at the Organization of Islamic Conference in Istanbul, Turkey, the Syrian President Bashar Assad told the attendees that Syria will take the Golan Heights from Israel by force and he said that this is a national duty for his country - its a legitimate and moral obligation to do so. Assad also slammed Israel for the situation at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem saying that for forty years since the Israelis tried to set fire to the Al Aqsa Mosque, there have been reoccurring attempts to destroy the mosque and to Judaize Jerusalem by expelling Palestinians from their homes.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The threat by Syrian President Bashar Assad that his country will take the Golan Heights from Israel by military force is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

During the Six Day War in 1967 when Israel was under attack on three sides; Egypt in the south, Jordan in the east, and Syria from the north, the Israeli military forced Syria out of the Golan Heights and set up a buffer zone between Israel and Syria in this high plateau. This was part of a strategy that helped bring somewhat of a peace in the region if not on paper at least in the conflict on the ground.

In 1973, Syria once again tried to occupy the Golan Heights but Israel stopped that military action and it remained status quo. Since that time, Syria has made numerous threats of war on the Golan but now the latest threat is the most serious especially in light of the fact that Syria now has military personnel on Mount Hermon at the head of the Golan Heights ready for action.

It is interesting to note that God gave the Golan Heights to the half tribe of Manassah 3500 years ago when the Children of Israel entered the Promised Land (Joshua 20:8, 21:27). Bible prophecy says that Syria, King of the North in Daniel 11:40-42, will make the first move by the alignment of nations to try to destroy the Jewish state of Israel during the Tribulation period.

This threat by Syrian President Bashar Assad is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

The Palestinian Authority wants to give control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to the global Islamic community

The Minister of Jerusalem Affairs in the Palestinian Authority(PA) says the PA favors transferring control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to the Organization of Islamic Conference made up of the 57 member states of this global Islamic organization.

The PA would accept the management of the Temple Mount by the Saudi based Organization of Islamic Conference whose 57 member states includes Iran and other Islamic members who have called for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth. The Israeli government officially has the sovereign control of the old city of Jerusalem which includes the Temple Mount, but Israel has given custodial responsibilities to the PA of this site, the most sacred site in all of Judaism.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The question of control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will be the major controversy in the Last Days according to Bible prophecy.

For the PA and the Organization of Islamic Conference to even consider taking control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the al Aqsa Mosque as they refer to this site, is beyond imagination in our world today. The Temple Mount is the most sacred piece of real estate in the world to the Jewish people and for the Global Islamic Community to claim sovereign control of this holy site in the heart of the capital city of Israel is considered by the Jewish state to be outrageous.

The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah wrote 2,500 years ago that what we see happening today would be the case when Jesus Christ returns to the earth to build His Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:2 says that Jerusalem will be the center of controversy at this time. Zechariah 1:14-16 reveals that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will be aggressively possessive of Jerusalem, He will be angered by the arrogant security of those who think they control the Temple Mount and Jesus will come and build His Temple on this holy site and rule and reign from that Temple forever.

Any claim by the global Islamic community will be set aside. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The United States Secretary of State says that Jewish communities in Biblical lands are illegitimate

On her travels to the Middle East to work on the peace process, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Arab leaders that Israeli settlements, Jewish communities, in Judea and Samaria, lands that belong to the Jewish people thousands of years ago, that these Jewish communities now located in this land are illegitimate and they should be halted forever. The Secretary said that the United States would like to see the end of all settlement activity current, future, and forever.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The claim that Jewish communities in Biblical lands are illegitimate completely ignores history and the scenario for the future as revealed in Bible prophecy.

Since the Six Day War in 1967 Jews have been living in the land of their forefathers, the land referred to as the West Bank but known in Israel and to the Jewish families living there as Judea and Samaria. Though the Jews inhabited this land 3500 years ago, they returned to the area for the military purpose of setting up a buffer zone between Israel and the nations that tried to eliminate Israel in that Six Day War. Jews from all over the world have been coming back to their homeland for over 100 years and many of them, especially the religious Jews, believe this return was promised by God and foretold by the ancient Jewish prophets. For the United States to say these Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegitimate and must be halted forever is a total contradiction of history.

3500 years ago, Joshua led the Jewish people into this disputed land and established the nation of Israel, that nation that God had promised and on the land that he promised. Prophetically, the United States is wrong as well since the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel quoted God who said 18 times in one chapter, Ezekiel 34, that He would find the Jews that had scattered around the world and bring them into the land of their forefathers and He would do that in the last days.

The world has witnessed God fulfilling His promise over the last 60 years and for the United States to call this illegitimate will have no effect on Bible prophecy being fulfilled.

The Israeli navy has siezed a ship loaded with Iranian arms to be delivered to Syria and Hezbollah

In a night raid, the Israeli naval forces seized a ship with hundreds of tons of Iranian weaponry on board the ship known as Francop captured near Cyprus carrying the arms sent by Iran and destined for Syria and Hezbollah.

The deputy commander of the Israeli navy said the transfer of such amounts of weapons is done in order to create a balance of terror with Israel by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah.

An Israeli raid on a ship loaded with Iranian weapons destined for Syria and Hezbollah is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer than ever before to being fulfilled.

For the third time within the year, Iran has disregarded international law and UN national security resolutions that forbid it to transfer weaponry. This time it was a ship loaded with hundreds of tons of Iranian weapons, weapons that are considered very advanced weaponry including antiaircraft missiles.

For years it has been known that Syria is the conduit for Iranian weapons being delivered to Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. You must remember that Hezbollah is not Lebanese. They are part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard sent to Lebanon in 1982 by the late Ayatollah Khomeneih. Iran, Syria and Hezbollah want to remove the Jewish state of Israel from the Middle East, even the entire world that their name be forgotten forever, Psalm 83:4.

Bible prophecy reveals that Syria will be the first nation to attack Israel, then a number of other Islamic and Arab nations will join the fight. The point about Syria being first is found in Daniel 11:40-41 where Syria is mentioned by its Biblical name, the King of the North. Iran is the Persia mentioned in Ezekiel 38:5 and you must remember until 1936, Iran was known as Persia, in fact they still speak the Persian language in Iran.

Ezekiel 38:8 and 11 say the attack by Iran and Syria will take place when there is peace in the Middle East, which is exactly what every world leader is working for right now.

The Czech Republic has signed the treaty to make way for the United States of Europe

After the constitutional court of the Czech Republic ruled that the EU's Lisbon Treaty is in line with the Czech constitution, the way was clear for Czech President Claus to go ahead and sign the Lisbon Treaty and thus ratify the document that will lead the way to the United States of Europe to form a very powerful economic and political body of nations.

The European parliament president says the treaty will be in effect throughout the EU and enter into force by the end of this year.

With the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU can now move ahead with uniting the EU member states into a major economic and political power as called for in Bible prophecy for the last days.

The Czech Republic, the last hold out on ratifying the Lisbon Treaty, now has signed the EU treaty that will gel the 27-member states into a major force in the global, political and economic world. The Lisbon Treaty calls for a permanent president as well as a foreign policy leader to lead them in the future. This scenario sounds very familiar to a student of Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of the revival of the old Roman Empire in the last days and a leader of that empire who would actually become the leader of the world, Daniel 2 and Daniel 7:7-24.

I would submit for your consideration the EU as at least the infrastructure for this revived Roman Empire. It has all the characteristics of the old Roman Empire and the EU's permanent president would surely fit the bill as the called for leader of the revived Roman Empire. By the way, that one world leader known in Scripture as the Antichrist who heads up the revived Roman Empire will work for peace in the Middle East and control of a global economic structure among other items on his agenda.

The EU in full force fits the requirements called for in Bible prophecy.

Sharia Law, the law of the land in Islamic nations, is making great strides in the Middle East, into the West, and in fact, around the world

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

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

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

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

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

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

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