Scientists in China say that 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.

An Islamic cleric in Israel says that he would rather die than to see the rebuilding of a Jewish temple in Jerusalem

Sheik Raad Salah, the leader of the Islamic movement in Israel and speaking to Moslem students at Haifa University, told them that he would rather die than to give up the Islamic holy site where the Dome of the Rock is located in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and suggested the students should be ready to do the same. Sheik Salah also repeated his claim that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was intending on completing his plan to gain control of the Temple Mount and to rebuild the Jewish temple on the site that Moslems believe is holy - the third holiest site after Mecca and Medina.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Moslems that would give their lives to protect and possess the Temple Mount in Jerusalem area actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is becoming more and more a center of controversy. The Temple Mount is the third holiest piece of real estate for Moslems. To the Jews, it the most holy site in all of the world and the site of the first and second Jewish temples. Moslems who are ready to die to protect and possess this site would fit a scenario that will be played out in the last days according to Bible prophecy.

Zechariah said that the Temple Mount would be the center of controversy in the end times (Zechariah 12:2). Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel said that the Moslem world would come to Jerusalem to take it from the Jewish people (Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3). Ezekiel also wrote of a temple on the Temple Mount for the Messiah to rule and reign from that location (Ezekiel 40 - 46). Ezekiel's temple is the temple for the kingdom period in the future. The next temple to be erected on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will be the one standing during the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1). However, this next temple will not be built until after the Rapture when Christians depart from Earth for the heavens. Until that time, no one can build the temple even Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Bible prophecy 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.

An Israeli military leader says an American trained and equipped Palestinian military could atack Israel

General Avi Mizrahi, the Israeli leader in the area of Judea and Samaria in Israel, says that Israeli soldiers face the potential challenge of being confronted by a Palestinian military force trained and equipped by the US and this force is capable of causing real damage to Israel.

This Palestinian military force was trained in Jordan by US General Keith Dayton and the Israeli military is preparing for a potential confrontation. US General Dayton has expressed belief that this Palestinian army would likely attack the Jewish state in the event that Israel does not give in to the demands of the world leaders for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The report of the Israeli military preparing for a confrontation with an American trained and equipped Palestinian army is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The IDF is now training for the potential battle that may occur if the Israeli government rejects the demands of the US and EU to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. US General Keith Dayton, the military trainer for this Palestinian army, said if Israel does not surrender Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians within the next two years, this Palestinian military force could turn their guns on the Israelis. This scenario is, as I said, the lead up to what Bible prophecy says will unfold in the last days.

Malachi said that the Edomites, the Palestinians of today, would rebuild and become a force in the Middle East, Malachi 1. Ezekiel wrote that when the Palestinians become a major force, they will kill the Jews, Ezekiel 35:5 and then take the land of the Jewish people, Ezekiel 35:10. Obadiah revealed in his prophecy that the Edomites, Palestinians of today, would become drunk with power and try to wipe out the Jews only to be defeated, Obadiah 15-18.

The Israeli military preparing for a conflict with a Palestinian army is indeed a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

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.

President Obama tells West Point graduates that he wants to shape a new international order in our world

Addressing the graduates of the West Point military academy, President Obama pledged to shape a new international order as part of a national security strategy which expresses his faith in cooperation and partnership to confront the economic and military challenges of the future. Obama said that his international order will resolve the challenges of our time by countering violent extremism and insurgency, stopping the spread of nuclear weapons, and preventing conflict.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call by President Obama for a new international border in our world today sounds very similar to the end of time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

The idea of a new international order suggested by President Obama is basically the same rhetoric that has been heard down through the years and called a new world order. As Mr. Obama addressed the future military leaders at the graduation ceremonies at West Point, the President seemed to package the idea couched in his security strategy for America. President Obama seems to think as do other ideologues that the challenges facing our world today, economically and militarily, can be met with a world order that actually is far from being a new concept.

Bible prophecy has been foretelling this approach to resolving what seems to be insurmountable problems in our world. Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah 4500 years ago, put together the first new world order when he defied God by building one great city in Babel instead of repopulating the entire earth after the worldwide flood. This is recorded in Genesis chapters 10 and 11. That same pattern used by Nimrod will be followed in the last days as the Antichrist will lead a new world order or as President Obama calls it, a new international order - and the Antichrist will set up this international, economic, political, governmental center in Babylon, birthplace of the original idea. This scenario is described in Revelation 13 and 18.

President Obama's new international order is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Europe's economic crisis could cause serious risk to America's economy and to the economies around the world

As the financial ministers in the 27 member states of the European Union meet to deal with the growing economic crisis in Europe financial experts in the United States and around the world say what is happening in Europe could effect the global economic crisis already in place. The European Union financial ministers and the Eurozone leaders are working to contain the financial crisis that has been caused by the economic situation in Greece and this very bad problem could even bring an end to the Euro, the currency of the European Union.

Heads of state around the world and their financial advisers are calling for a global economic structure that they say would prevent such a worldwide crisis from happening again.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call for a global economic structure to prevent a worldwide financial crisis like that of Europe and in fact the entire world is a scenario from the pages of Bible prophecy.

The economic crisis in Europe has the attention of the financial leaders around the world fearing the possibility that a similar scenario could unfold in their own countries and even spread across the globe. Many economic experts are saying that the Euro, the common currency of Europe, that the Euro as we know it is dead. The jury is still out on the survival of the Euro but the world indeed is very fearful that this economic global crisis is only going to get worse before it gets better. This is, as I said, a page out of Bible prophecy.

In the book of Revelation the world dictator, better known as the Antichrist, will set a world economic headquarters to control all selling and buying across the globe. That location is Babylon according to Revelation 18 which is modern-day Iraq. The Antichrist will cause everyone who wants to buy or sell anything even the essentials of life to have an identification mark on the forehead or the back of the hand (Revelation 13:16-17). Though this may seem impossible, today's global economic crisis is setting the stage for just such a scenario to be played out. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Iran says that it can destroy Israel in one week

The chief of staff for Iran's President Ahmadinejad says that if Israel should attack his country over the nuclear issue that Iran would destroy Israel within a week and he added that the new sanctions if imposed on Iran would only harm western countries. Speaking at a political conference of radical Islamists in northern Iran, the former Vice President of Iran, Rahim Mashaei said that Israel should be destroyed because the Zionist regime is corrupt and criminal and is harming not only the Arab and Islamic world but all of humanity.

On a recent trip to Saudi Arabia the Iranian leader claimed that the annihilation of the Jewish state of Israel should be a global goal.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The threat by an Iranian leader that his country can destroy Israel within one week should cause much concern, however, it is not possible that is according to Bible prophecy.

As a follow up to the Iranian President Ahmadinejad's statement that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth, Ahmadinejad's chief of staff now says if Israel makes a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran will destroy the Jewish state within one week. As the world continues to take every opportunity possible to live with this present Iranian leadership, the radical leadership continues to ratchet up its threats against the Jewish state of Israel. This most recent threat by Iran of destroying Israel within one week is not only a volatile threat but an impossibility according to God's prophetic scenario for the Jewish state.

It is true that Iran will endeavor to destroy Israel in the future according to Ezekiel 38:5 and Psalm 83:4 but they will fail. Ancient Jewish prophets reveal God's plan for the Jewish people and there is no way that Israel can be totally annihilated.

The Abrahamic Covenant found in Genesis 15 guarantees that Israel will be a nation of people forever. The Land Covenant in Deuteronomy 30 states that the Jews will have a peace of real estate ten times the size of the state they have today. The Davidic Covenant, II Samuel 7, says that the Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ will reign over the Jewish people in their land from Jerusalem forever.

Israel will not be destroyed. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Jews in Jerusalem and around the world spend all night studying the Bible

Jewish men and women in Jerusalem and around the world spent all night studying the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, in honor of the day that traditionally the Lord gave the Torah, the Law, to Moses at Mt. Sinai in the wilderness of Egypt.

The practice of Jewish people learning all night long is a custom rather than a commandment and they say it is the express of one's desire to draw closer to God as they celebrate the Jewish feast day of Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Feast of Pentecost, Shavuot in Hebrew, is one of the seven Jewish feast days, each of which have a prophetic significance as it relates to the end times that is according to Bible prophecy.

As Jewish people around the world study the first five books of the Bible all night long, they honor the giving of the Law, the Torah, to Moses at Mt. Sinai 3500 years ago. Thousands of Jews from around the world also made their way to Jerusalem and the Western Wall there at the Temple Mount where they prayed and studied the Torah following a Biblical command to go to Jerusalem on the Feast of Pentecost.

This report is drawing attention to the Jewish people observing one of the seven Jewish feast days that God gave them in the Torah. Each of these Jewish feast days has not only a historic significance but also a prophetic significance. Jesus Christ fulfilled the first three Jewish feast days. He was crucified on Passover, buried on Unleavened Bread and resurrected on First Fruits 2000 years ago.

However, in the future, Jesus Christ will also fulfill the last three Jewish feast days. On Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah, Jesus Christ will come back to the earth, Matthew 24:31. He will enter the Temple and go into the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, Hebrews 9:25-26 and then Jesus Christ begins His Kingdom on the Feast of Tabernacles according to Matthew 17:1-6.

The Jewish feast day of Pentecost is indeed a reminder that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been named the world's most influential Jew

The Jerusalem Post, the world's largest English language newspaper, has published its first annual list of the 50 most influential Jews in the world and they have named Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as the world's most influential Jew. The prime minister's office issued a statement saying that Netanyahu was honored to be named to the top position of the top 50 Jews and that this honor demonstrates the historic change that Zionism has brought about in the condition of the Jewish people.

The Israeli prime minister said that a scattered powerless people has been able to reassert its national life in its own sovereign state in its ancestral homeland as a people among the family of nations in this world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recognition of Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as the world's most influential Jew is evidence that Bible prophecy has been fulfilled and will be fulfilled.

When one stops to consider Jewish leaders in our world today men like Ben Bernanke who is chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and the founder of Google Sergey Brin among others, it is an honor for Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu to be named the world's most influential Jew.

The presence of a Jewish state among the nations of the world is impressive when you stop to consider that when the nation was founded in 1948 only 5% of the worlds Jewish population lived in the new state and today Israel contains the largest Jewish community in the world. This report is evidence that Bible prophecy has been fulfilled.

The ancient Jewish prophet wrote of a time in history when there would be a Jewish state in their ancient homeland. Ezekiel in chapter 34 of his prophecy said that God would gather the Jews from wherever they had been scattered and bring them into the land that He had promised them. In fact, in Ezekiel 36 the prophet refers to the land 35 times and in verse 22 quotes the Lord as saying that this had to happen for His holy namesake. However, Ezekiel 38 and 39 speak of a troublesome time for Israel in the future but it also promises that the Jewish people will survive as well throughout eternity.

Israel's prime minister named as the world's most influential Jew is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A senior Palestinian leader says that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is using the Bible to incite hatred and fear

The senior Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for mentioning the Jewish people's historic ties to Jerusalem as described in the Bible and accused the prime minister of using the Bible to incite hatred and fear. The Israeli Prime Minister made reference to the numerous biblical references to Jerusalem while addressing the Israeli Knesset in a session honoring Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the day on which Israel's capital was reunited after almost 200o years.


Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A Palestinian leader saying that the Bible does not prove the Jewish connection to Jerusalem is not only a lie but it denies God's prophetic plan for the future for this city as well.

The reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu using the Bible in his defense of a Jewish presence in Jerusalem for thousands of years and their present day right to be there by the leaders of the Palestinian Authority are actually in the face of Biblical historic fact. Netanyahu also brought out in his speech honoring Jerusalem Day, the day marking the reunification of Jerusalem after 2000 years that the word "Jerusalem" is never mentioned in the Koran or any other religious book. In the English Bible the word "Jerusalem" is used 764 times both in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Historically, the Jewish King David captured the Jebusite stronghold of Jerusalem 3000 years ago and made it the political capital of the Jewish people (II Samuel 5). King David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem several years later and declared that the holy city was also the spiritual capital of the Jewish people as well (II Samuel 6). God actually made a promise to King David that Jerusalem would be the eternal capital of the Jewish people when he brought them back into the land for good. That is confirmed within the Davidic Covenant which is found in II Samuel 7. The prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 33 says that God cannot break the Davidic Covenant unless you can get rid of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

Prime Minister Netanyahu was indeed correct. Bible prophecy has been in the past and in the future will be fulfilled.

Iraq is becoming the new destination for adventurist tourists

Iraq's rich history, its unique culture, amazing archaeology, and the intrigue of Saddam Hussein, has made Iraq the ideal location for a vacation destination for a growing number of daring tourists. Official figures on the exact number of visitors is lacking but the evidence is that interest in Iraq's historical and Biblical sites in continually increasing and discussions on the internet seem to confirm this report.

Biblical sites like Ninevah, Ur of the Chaldees, Babylon, and as some suggest, even the Garden of Eden can be visited in this war torn nation that believes an increase in tourism will help their recovery.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The possibility that the war torn nation of Iraq could be the tourism center of the Middle East does not fit with the prophetic scenario for this region in the last days according to Bible prophecy.

There indeed is great interest by adventurist tourists to visit the Biblical sites found in modern-day Iraq, sites like Ur of the Chaldees, Ninevah, Babylon, and as some suggest, even the site of the Garden of Eden. The Iraqi tourism board is working on a plan to attract tourists from around the world to their nation that is rebuilding and hoping that the financial gain from tourism will enhance the rebuilding efforts. My point is, however, that a major tourism campaign does not fit with the end times prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy. Bible prophecy, written over the last 2500 years by ancient Jewish prophets, reveals to all students of the prophetic Word of God that Iraq will be a major center - not a tourism center - but an economic, political, governmental power base in the last 3 1/2 years of the 7 year period of intense judgment on the Earth and Earth dwellers.

Revelation 18 foretells that Babylon, today's Iraq, will be this world headquarters for the world dictator, the Antichrist, who will control the global economic system to be implemented. A global economic crisis will be the precursor to this scenario (Revelation 13:16-17). Isaiah 13 - 14, Jeremiah 50 - 51, along with Revelation 16 reveals the total destruction of Babylon, modern-day Iraq, at the end of the 7 year judgment just before Jesus Christ returns to Earth.

Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israelis mark the 43rd anniversary of the reunification of the city of Jerusalem

On June 7, 1967 the Israeli Defense Force captured the Old City of Jerusalem during the Six Day War and reunited this sacred city after almost 2000 years, giving the Jews access to the Temple Mount, the most sacred piece of real estate in Judaism.

As the Jewish people mark the 43rd anniversary, not on June the 7th but on the date on the Jewish calendar, that coincides with that historic time; there is the reality that the reunification of Jerusalem is still a major question mark and a growing controversy. Both the Obama administration and the European Union have applied pressure to the Israeli government to once again divide Jerusalem into the capitals of the two states, Israel and Palestine which puts in jeopardy the often quoted description of Jerusalem as the undivided eternal capital of the Jewish people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The reunification of the city of Jerusalem in 1967 caused celebration among the Jews around the world but it also set the stage for controversy surrounding Judaism's most sacred piece of real estate, according to Bible prophecy.

As the Jewish world celebrates the reunification of their sacred city, Jerusalem every year since 1967. They also continue to watch how this unique city becomes more controversial. Political leaders from around the world continue to call for the city to be redivided in order to accommodate the Palestinians and their desire to have at least a portion of Jerusalem as the capital of their hoped-for state of Palestine.

This scenario that is being played out today,was foretold thousand of years ago. Jesus in His Olivet Discourse, found in Luke 21:24 stated that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles, that's non-Jewish world leaders, until He returned to earth to liberate the city.

The prophet Zechariah also spoke of the city of Jerusalem, as the center of controversy, that's Zechariah 12:2. Zechariah 1:14-16 spoke of the Lord being aggressively possessive of Jerusalem, displeased with those non-Jews who tried to control it and the prophet revealed that Jesus Christ will one day come to Jerusalem to build His Temple there to dwell among His people forever.

Jerusalem Day celebrations are indeed a reminder that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israel's PM honors the Ethiopian Jews that faced real hardships to return to Jerusalem

Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu issued a heart felt greeting on Ethiopian Immigrant Day calling the story of that community's desire to return to Jerusalem the essence of the Jewish people's dreams and prayers as the PM recalled the difficult times during the different waves of Ethiopian Jews leaving their homeland to return to the land of their forefathers.

The Israeli PM said the return of the Ethiopian Jews to Jerusalem is a marvelous story and he pledged that his government would continue to advance the Ethiopian community in Israel and never forget the Ethiopian Jews who perished in their journey back home.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The return of the Ethiopian Jews to Jerusalem is a marvelous story according to Israel's PM Netanyahu, but it is also evidence that Bible prophecy is and will be fulfilled.

As the PM of Israel, Benyamin Netanyahu, and all Israelis remember the return of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Jerusalem, there is a sense of urgency to help the remaining Jews in Ethiopia also to come back home to Israel. Over the last several decades, the world has witnessed these Jews in a foreign land go through hardship and even death to return to the homeland of their forefathers. I remember one such return known as, "Operation Solomon" that took place in May of 1991 when as a journalist in Jerusalem, I reported on this unique event. Within 24 hours 15000 Ethiopian Jews were transported in over 42 aircraft from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to Jerusalem.

This report is evidence that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled. In Ezekiel 34, God reveals that He will search the world for the Jewish people scattered all over the world 2000 years ago and bring them back into their homeland.In Zephaniah 2:10, the prophet mentions in particular, Ethiopia, and he says that in the last days, His prize, His offering, His people, according to Isaiah 66:20, that the Lord's people, the Jewish people, will return to Jerusalem.

Today in Jerusalem and all of Israel, there are thousands of Ethiopian Jews that are now living evidence that God's prophetic Word for the return of all Jews to Israel in the last days is being fulfilled.

The largest military parade since the collapse of the Soviet Union was held in Moscow's Red Square to mark the defeat of Nazism

Thousands of soldiers from Great Britain, France, and the United States - World War II allies of Russia - marched together in Moscow's Red Square to mark 65 years since the defeat of the Nazis in a historic military parade, the countries largest since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres attended the ceremony along with leaders from more than a dozen countries including the president of China, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and the heads of state of almost every former Soviet Union nation.

Russian President Medvedev told a crowd of thousands in Moscow's Red Square that 65 years ago Nazism was defeated and a machine that was exterminating millions of people was halted because there was only choice - victory or become slaves.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The large military parade held in Moscow's Red Square to mark the defeat of Nazism has a unique twist in history and in the future according to Bible prophecy.

In the largest military parade held in Moscow's Red Square since the fall of the Soviet Union both the Russian military and western allied military units marched to mark the defeat of Nazism at the beginning of the end of World War II. The media reported that 10,000 Russian troops and over 120 military aircraft took to the skies in a highly choreographed military display. This display of victory over the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler marked the turning point of World War II and the halt of the extermination of millions of people. Even the Israeli President Shimon Peres voiced his thanks to the Russian people for helping to stop the murder of millions of Jews.

However, there is an ironic twist to this celebration as is revealed in Bible prophecy. As any student of Bible prophecy understands according to Ezekiel 38 there will be an alignment of nations that will in the last days endeavor to eliminate the Jewish state in the Middle East. According to Ezekiel 38:2 the Magog listed in this passage could only be the nation of Russia today. They will be the leader of this coalition of nations to come against Israel. Ironically the recent military parade in Moscow's Red Square was a reminder of the past but also a reminder of what will happen in the future when Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Israeli-Palestinian peace talks are doomed because of Yasser Arafat's legacy

The Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom says that the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks are doomed to hit a brick wall because no Palestinian leader will accept anything less that what Yasser Arafat rejected at Camp David some 10 years ago. Shalom also added that no Israeli prime minister will offer anything more than was offered at Camp David and the Israeli leader said for all intents and purposes the Palestinian Authority is already functioning like a de facto state.

The vice prime minister characterized the United States as Israel's only friend in the world who provides diplomatic, military and economic support but at the same time Shalom said any attempt by the United States or any other party to impose a peace agreement will not work because no one will accept it especially Israel.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by Israel's vice prime minister that the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks are doomed because of Yasser Arafat's legacy is right on target with the end of times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

As the Obama Administration works diligently to get the Israeli-Palestinian talks back on track there seems to be a concern by many Israeli and Palestinian leaders that these talks will fail as has the others. Israel's Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom believes the legacy of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will doom the peace talks to failure. This statement is based on the Israeli-Palestinian talks at Camp David ten years ago when then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat all that he wanted only to have the Palestinian leader reject the agreement.

Bible prophecy in the biblical books of Ezekiel, Malachi, and Obadiah all refer in their prophecies to this Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ezekiel 35 says that this conflict will cause deaths on both sides. Malachi in chapter 1 says that the Palestinians will return to rebuild and set their borders but God will reject their borders. Obadiah reveals that true peace will only come about between the Israelis and the Palestinians when the Messiah Jesus Christ returns. Remember Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The United Nations is failing to fulfill its duty as the guardian to peace and security

There are a number of analysts who are saying that in this ever-changing world of politics with the current threats to peace in our world from rogue states, the United Nations is failing to fulfill its duty as guardian for peace and security. It was recently pointed out that the first known human rights decree was authored by the Iranian King Cyrus over 2500 years ago and in fact that decree adorns the halls of the United Nations which is the Cyrus Cylinder a historic artifact calling for human rights for all human kind.

The analysts say that the United Nations however continues to provide a forum to the present Iranian leader Ahmadinejad where he is allowed to proliferate his distortions even as his nation is training and supplying terrorists throughout the entire Middle East.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

While the decree for human rights from one Persian king adorns the walls of the United Nations another Persian leader is calling for the total destruction of the Jewish state of Israel from that same platform - evidence that God has and will use political leaders to fulfill his will according to Bible prophecy.

One of the greatest artifacts ever found is the Cyrus Cylinder. It was found at the site at the city of Babylon in modern-day Iraq. A copy of this cylinder which is the decree written by the Persian King Cyrus in 539BC which actually calls for the human rights of all people adorns the wall of the United Nations, an international body known in the past as the guardian of peace and security in the world. And yet the United Nations has become a platform for rogue leaders to spew forth their venom and enable terrorism worldwide with the most recent example being the Iranian President Ahmadinejad.

Cyrus, according to the biblical book of Esther chapter 1, said that he was called of God to allow the Jews to leave the Babylonian Captivity and return to Israel to rebuild their temple. However, today, another Persian leader, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, is calling for the total destruction of the Jewish state of Israel. 2500 years ago God used a Persian world leader to accomplish His will and today according to Revelation 17:17 the Lord indeed is using another Persian leader to prepare the way for His prophetic end times scenario to be fulfilled.

Thousands of Protestants are considering the Pope's offer to become Catholics

Church goers in a number of Anglican churches of England and around the world may take advantage of Pope Benedict's offer to change denominations if their bishops lead the way in protest of the Anglican church decision to use women priests in the churches.

With thousands of these church goers ready to crossover to Rome, the Anglican church, the Church of England, is expected to make a last ditch attempt to stop this from happening by offering concessions over the introduction of female bishops.

The church bishops who are leading this rebellion against Anglican leadership recently held secret meetings with papal advisers to discuss plans for Anglicans converting to the Roman Catholic Church in mass.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The possible conversion to the Roman Catholic Church by thousands of Protestants is a precursor to the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Because of the leadership of the Anglican church in England and their decision to install female bishops, there are now thousands of churchgoers that will follow their bishops and convert to Roman Catholicism if that decision is made. In a papal decision handed down by Pope Benedict, the Roman Catholic Church says it will accept these Anglicans if they decide to convert. The Episcopal church in America and Africa have also held discussions on following the Anglican bishops if the trend continues to install women as priests and bishops and also include homosexuals in church leadership.

This report is evidence of an end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy which will be played out seemingly in the near future. In Revelation 17, you can find revealed a one-word church that will be in place in the first half of the seven year Tribulation Period. This false church, according to Revelation 17:5, dates back to the Mother-son Cult founded in Babylon 4500 years ago. Verse nine of Revelation 17 says that the false church will be headquartered in a seven-hilled city, the city of Rome, Italy.

Please notice that I did not say the false church is the Roman Catholic Church. What I am saying, based upon scripture, is that the false church of Revelation 17 will be headquartered in Rome and up and operating in the first half of the Tribulation Period. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A former US Ambassador says President Obama is a danger to Israeli security

John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the UN says President Obama is harming Israeli security and is playing into the hands of Iranian President Ahmadinejad by agreeing to talk with Egypt about a nuclear free Middle East.

Bolton said that everyone knows Egypt's call for a nuclear free Middle East is aimed at one country, Israel, and he added that Israel must be vigilant against any attempt by Egypt and the US to discuss this issue and especially in any type of UN forum.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A warning that US President Obama may be a danger to Israeli security may be right in the short run, but not in the long run that is according to Bible prophecy.

In a recent interview, the former US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, warned Israel that the Obama administration and its nuclear policy may be a danger to Israeli security. This statement came from the collaboration between the US and Egypt on developing a nuclear free Middle East which in essence has really only one target, that is Israel, and what many believe to be an Israeli nuclear arsenal. The parties are working to disarm Israel of any deterrent to a Middle East war focused on the Jewish state.

This being said, I must remind you, nuclear weapons will not be used to protect the Jewish state of Israel according to Bible prophecy. An alignment of nations, sometime in the future, will indeed attack Israel as revealed in Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11 and Psalm 83. At that time, there will be a heavenly intervention to protect Israel from total destruction, Ezekiel 38:18-23. The Lord will rain hail, fire, and brimstone upon the attacking enemies of the Jewish state and destroy almost the entire group of nations in this war, Ezekiel 39:1-6.

Israel's enemies may believe that nuclear weapons can wipe the Jewish state of the earth and Israel may even believe they need nuclear weapons to counter the attack; however, as we have discussed, God has another plan.

The president of the European Central Bank is calling for a one world economic structure

Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank, has called for global governance of all financial institutions saying it is extremely necessary if the world wants to prevent another financial crisis like what is happening today. Trichet emphasized that politicians, economists, and financiers must work together and collaborate on methods to create an international set of standards and that through this global governance the resiliency of the global financial system can be assured.

This call for global governance of all financial operations even national governments has been motivated by the economic problems of Greece and many other European nations as well as the United States.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call for global governance of all worldwide financial operations by the president of Europe's central bank is a precursor to the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

At the height of the present world economic crisis there were many world leaders calling for an international economic structure to be put in place even though many world leaders say we are better off today financially, there are also many who doubt we can come back. The recent bail out of Greece with a record breaking total of 146 billion dollars is evidence that this world still is in bad shape economically. European economists say Greece was only the tip of the iceberg and that Spain, Portugal, and Italy may be next to fall financially with Great Britain and even the United States who could also follow suit.

This call for global governance of all financial operations is setting the stage for the prophetic scenario that can be found in the book of Revelation. Revelation 18 foretells of a one world economic structure that will be in place in the last half of the seven year Tribulation period and it will be headquartered in Babylon located in modern-day Iraq. The world leader - the Antichrist - will require all who want to buy or sell, in other words, to sustain life, they will be required to have an identification mark on their forehead or the back of their hand (Revelation 13:16-17). It seems very possible that a worldwide economic crisis could cause humankind to take this mark under an economic global governance. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
