Bar-Ilan University researcher, Dr. Moshe Vered, believes that if war breaks out between Iran and Israel it likely would last for years, not weeks and he says that Iran would also target Jews around the world including El Al airplanes, synagogues, and Israeli operations abroad.
The research paper by Dr. Vered points out that the Iranian Shiite Moslems believe that the very existence of Israel is an insult to Moslems and that there is an obligation by Moslems to sacrifice themselves for the sake of annihilating the Jewish state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A research paper that gives a forecast for a long war between Iran and Israel is very sobering, but this paper may not have taken into consideration the prophetic scenario that can be found in the Bible for such a war.
Dr. Moshe Vered's research paper is very sobering especially in light of the radical rhetoric coming from the president of Iran about his desires to see Israel wiped off the face of the earth. The paper speaks of an extended war between Iran and Israel if Israel should make a preemptive strike on Iran to destroy the development of nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMD).
Threats by Iranian President Ahmadinejad suggest that his country would unleash an attack on every target in Israel with its long range missiles and with the possibility that these missiles would have nuclear warheads aboard. In addition, Iran would call for Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah and Turkey to join the fight to destroy Israel.
This scenario is found in Bible prophecy in Ezekiel 38 where verse 5 mentions Persia, which is modern day Iran, and also in Daniel 11:40-41, which includes Syria referred to as the King of the North. However, an extended war is not part of the prophetic scenario as revealed in these passages of Scripture. When you look at Ezekiel 38:18-39:6, you'll find that the prophet foretells of a total destruction of Israel's attacking enemies and this happens within weeks or months, not years.
The research paper aside, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

There are reports that the Dead Sea could dry up in the next several years - but there may be a solution
For a number of years, the Dead Sea, located in the Jordan Valley with the Eastern shore in Jordan and the Western shore in Israel, the Dead Sea has been losing its water and now it's sinking by about three feet per year which is causing fears both in Jordan and Israel that the Dead Sea could literally dry up by the year 2050.
One of the main ideas being considered by Jordan and Israel is the Red Dead Conveyance Project, a project that would involve digging a canal and using a series of water pipeline conduits that could bring water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea in order to bring the Dead Sea water level back to normal.
The project would take over 20 years to complete and would cost as much as 15 billion dollars at today's values, but when completed, the project would bring about a new source of electric energy for the region, create new recreational areas to draw tourists to the area, and save one of the wonders of the world, the Dead Sea, which is located at the lowest spot on the earth.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Red Dead Project could save the Dead Sea, but it also may be a project that will set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
For a number of years, Middle East politicos, governmental leaders, and engineers have been talking about the Red Dead Project and how it could be the answer to the ever increasing problem at the Dead Sea and its loss of water. In search of a solution for this problem, Israeli President Shimon Peres presented the Red Dead Project to a regional gathering of political leaders, governmental officials and bankers.
This momentous project would take years and cost billions of dollars, but would also ultimately pay for itself in the long run. There are those who say this type of project could produce great wealth like the silver and gold that could be extracted from the Dead Sea, enough money to pay the national debts of almost every nation in the world.
In the book of Ezekiel 38:13, the prophet mentions the gold and silver that will attract Israel's enemies to come to destroy the Jewish state. Later in Ezekiel 47, he mentions how water from the Temple in Jerusalem will actually flow down to the Dead Sea and make it a freshwater lake, not 10 times saltier than the ocean as it is today.
A focus on the Dead Sea is indeed a prop on the stage for the end times scenario that will be fulfilled.

The Iranian President Ahmadinejad says the US is planning to start two wars in the Middle East
Iranian President Ahmadinejad says that his country has precise information on an American plot to launch two wars in the Middle East in order to pressure Tehran to stop production of its Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction (NWMD) and at the same time save the Zionist regime in power today in the Jewish state of Israel.
President Ahmadinejad infuriated Israel when he denied the Holocaust, saying that it was a myth and as he has continually called for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth, the Iranian president has provoked Israel to the point that they could well launch an attack on Iran in order to deal with the NWMD that not only threatens Israel, but the entire region as well as the rest of the world.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Iranian President Ahmadinejad's radical rhetoric now includes the warning that the US is ready to start two wars in the Middle East, a statement that is both true and false according to Bible prophecy.
Most of the world dismisses the radical rhetoric coming from the mouth of the Iranian President Ahmadinejad when he threatens the Jewish state of Israel. His statement about America plotting to start two wars in the Middle East is as bad as the threat to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. There are already two wars going on in the Middle East: one in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan. In fact, the entire region is a powder keg that could go off at any moment with or without American involvement. I do know that in the future, there will be wars and rumors of wars in this part of the world, Matthew 24:6-7.
John the Revelator wrote of the mother-of-all-battles, the Battle of Armageddon that takes place in the Middle East at the end of the seven years of judgment, Revelation 19. Ezekiel reveals that Iran itself will be included in a major war in the Middle East at the beginning of the seven year Tribulation Period along with many other Middle Eastern nations, Ezekiel 38:5.
Ahmadinejad is right, at least about wars coming to the Middle East and seemingly in the not too distant future.

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 prophet 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.

A world renowned scientist has warned mankind not to speak to aliens from outer space
World renowned scientist Stephen Hawking has warned humankind to avoid any contact with aliens from outer space which Hawking believes do exist among the 100 billion galaxies each containing hundreds of millions of stars in the universe. Hawking says alien life is almost certain to exist in many other parts of the universe not just in planets but perhaps in the center of stars or even floating in interplanetary space and may even exist in massive ships and be looking for resources on other planets.
Hawking says that to his mathematical brain the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational and the real challenge is to work out what what aliens might actually be like.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by a world renowned scientist that aliens exist in outer space may sound like science fiction but there is an interesting link to Bible prophecy that will be played out in the last days.
The name "Stephen Hawking", a well known scientist in our world today is a name that is associated with many scientific discoveries and now he has come forward to say there are aliens in outer space. Hawking says that we should not seek them out but humanity should do everything to avoid them. I know that this sounds like a science fiction story but I am only reporting from a documentary from Hawking where he goes into further detail on the subject. Hawking warns that these aliens may invade the earth searching for more resources to sustain their existence and possibly to colonize the earth.
Bible prophecy does reveal in the book of Revelation the future event of creatures invading the earth from outer space (Revelation 9:1-13). These aliens, using the proper sense of the word, are referred to as locusts, but not any locusts that we have ever seen. They are evil angels that will attack humankind on the earth in the last days to kill one third of the earth's population (Revelation 9:13-20).
The report warning that we should not seek out aliens is an interesting precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

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.

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 borders, 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.

The Chief of Staff of the IDF from a monument to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy says Israel is alive and well today
Israeli Chief of Staff General Gabi Ashkenazi speaking at the Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy said on the day of the most recent Tisha B'Av, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av, the day when 1940 years ago, the Roman leader General Titus led the Roman army to destroy the Temple in Jerusalem, General Ashkenazi said even though this was a terrible time in Jewish history, Israel is alive today.
The Arch of Titus was erected by the Roman emperor in 70AD and he built the Arch, still standing in Rome today, to celebrate his son's victory over the Jewish people and the destruction of the Temple.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy is a monument to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy but it is also tangible evidence that yet to be fulfilled Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
The Chief of Staff of the IDF, General Gabi Ashkenazi, stood on last Tisha B'Av at the Arch of Titus in Rome and said that the Jewish people, Israel, is alive and ready to defend itself against another tragedy like the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70AD which the Arch commemorates and has for over 1900 years. When General Titus led the Roman army to destroy the Jewish Temple, devastate the city of Jerusalem, and disperse the Jews to the four corners of the earth, this Roman leader was actually fulfilling Bible prophecy.
Some 40 years earlier in 30AD, Jesus in His Olivet Discourse told His disciples that the Temple would be destroyed. General Titus fulfilled the Lord's prophecy and the Arch of Titus is the monument to the fulfillment of this prophecy. However, Jesus also said in that very profound prophecy message that there would be signs to alert the Jews of a time of real judgment on the Jewish people in a time yet future and it would appear just before the judgment began.
Jesus said there would be deception and signs, wonders, and miracles prevalent in our world, Matthew 24:4, 5, 11, 24. Jesus also said wars and rumors of wars would prevail, Matthew 24:6-7 and there would also be preparations to rebuild the Jewish Temple, Matthew 24:15.
General Ashkenazi at the Arch of Titus in Rome speaks to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, but also to additional Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled in the future.

Jews in Jerusalem and around the world today are praying for another temple to be built in Jerusalem
Today Tish B'Av, the 9th day of the Jewish month Av, is the day on the calendar in 586 BC and 70AD that both the first and second temples were destroyed. The first temple being destroyed by the Babylonian army led by Nebuchadnezzar and the second temple devastated by General Titus and the Roman army.
Jews on this day gather near the area where these temples once stood at the Western Wall and during the 25 hour fast they read the book of Lamentations and pray for the temple to be rebuilt by next Tish B'Av, a prayer that has been prayed every day for over 1900 years.
This Tish B'Av hundreds and thousands of Jews marched to the Temple Mount led by Gershon Solomon, head of the Temple Mount Faithful, to not only read Lamentations and pray for the rebuilding of the next temple, but to also protest American pressure to even give up the Temple Mount to the Palestinians for a Palestinian state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even as America applies pressure on the Israeli government to give up the Temple Mount, there are Jews preparing to follow through on their prayers for a Jewish temple on the Temple Mount. They have everything ready to build the next temple and fulfill Bible prophecy.
On Tish B'Av hundreds and thousands of Jews gather at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and at the seven gates that lead up onto the Temple Mount to read the book of Lamentations and to pray for the temple to be rebuilt by next Tish B'Av.
US pressure on Israel to give up the Temple Mount is in the face of God's plan for this sacred piece of real estate. 2500 years ago the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would come back and build His temple, the kingdom temple, on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 6:12). I must remind you, however, that before Jesus builds His temple, there will be a temple in the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1.) This next temple will be desecrated by the false messiah, the Antichrist. All preparations have been made for that temple, the tribulation temple, to be rebuilt and they could start construction today.
On Tish B'Av remember - Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Almost half of the population of Israel wants to see the holy temple rebuilt in Jerusalem
In a recent nationwide poll taken by the Knesset Israel's legislative body, 49% of the body politic of Israel said they want to see the holy temple rebuilt on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem where there once stood two previous Jewish temples. The last one, Herod's temple, was destroyed in 70AD by the Roman soldiers led by General Titus.
The Israeli public is about evenly split on whether they believe the temple will be rebuilt with a slight edge 42% - 39% to those who believe that the third temple will be rebuilt. Given the current political climate, the onset of construction of the temple is not likely to go over quietly in the Islamic world which currently has day to day control of the Temple Mount.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The almost 50% of Israelis who want to see the holy Jewish temple rebuilt in Jerusalem are in perfect harmony with what the Bible reveals will happen in the last days.
In a recent national poll carried out in Israel, 49% of the Israelis said that they want to see the rebuilding of the third temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount has been the location of two previous temples, the one built by King Solomon some 3000 years ago and the one built by Zerubbabel 2500 years ago. The second temple, known as Herod's Temple, because it took Herod 46 years to refurbish Zerubbabel's temple, was referred to by the rabbis as the temple that if you had never seen it, you had never seen a beautiful building.
Since 70AD, when Herod's Temple was destroyed, there have been countless efforts to rebuild it on the Temple Mount. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel said that there will be a third temple in Jerusalem during the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27). Jesus confirmed Daniel's prophecy in his Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:15) when He said, when you see the abomination of desolation in the temple, flee Jerusalem. That abomination will be the Antichrist entering the temple and claiming to be God (II Thessalonians 2:4). Revelation 11:1 guarantees that there will be a temple in Jerusalem. John the Revelator was told to measure the location for the next Jewish temple.
50% of Israelis are right - there will be a temple in Jerusalem and maybe very soon now. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
The Israeli public is about evenly split on whether they believe the temple will be rebuilt with a slight edge 42% - 39% to those who believe that the third temple will be rebuilt. Given the current political climate, the onset of construction of the temple is not likely to go over quietly in the Islamic world which currently has day to day control of the Temple Mount.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The almost 50% of Israelis who want to see the holy Jewish temple rebuilt in Jerusalem are in perfect harmony with what the Bible reveals will happen in the last days.
In a recent national poll carried out in Israel, 49% of the Israelis said that they want to see the rebuilding of the third temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount has been the location of two previous temples, the one built by King Solomon some 3000 years ago and the one built by Zerubbabel 2500 years ago. The second temple, known as Herod's Temple, because it took Herod 46 years to refurbish Zerubbabel's temple, was referred to by the rabbis as the temple that if you had never seen it, you had never seen a beautiful building.
Since 70AD, when Herod's Temple was destroyed, there have been countless efforts to rebuild it on the Temple Mount. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel said that there will be a third temple in Jerusalem during the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27). Jesus confirmed Daniel's prophecy in his Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:15) when He said, when you see the abomination of desolation in the temple, flee Jerusalem.

A Russian Middle East expert says there will be no peace in the Middle East in the next decade or longer
A Russian expert on the Middle East at the Institute of Strategic Studies says that the Middle East peace process is unlikely to produce any tangible results in the next decade or two, meaning that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is highly unlikely to be settled either by 2020 or 2030.
Serge Demidenko says that there must be a solution for three vital issues before there can be resolution to the conflict. Those issues are the status of Jerusalem, the refugee problem, and the Israeli settlement construction. Demidenko says that the current political situation on both sides does not allow the ability to bring the sides to the negotiating table.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Russians are correct if they mean there will be no true peace in the Middle East in the near future. But according to Bible prophecy a pseudo, short-lived peace could be in place in the very near future.
As has been the case for numbers of years in the Middle East, there are world leaders working to bring a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and bring peace to this war-torn region. Now a Russian expert on the Middle East says there will be no peace in the foreseeable future, most likely not in the next two decades.
If we look at the history of the peacemaking process, the Russians are most likely correct; however, when you look at current events in light of Biblical prophecy, you will realize how close we could be to peace in the Middle East; howbeit, a pseudo, short-lived peace.
The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel, wrote that there would come out of the Revived Roman Empire, a world leader that will confirm a peace agreement in the Middle East, Daniel 7:7-24 and Daniel 9:27.
The ratification of the European Union treaty and the election of the two main leaders for the European Union has put in place all that is needed to revive the old Roman Empire. The leader of that powerful political structure will be the one to confirm, not sign, but to confirm the three peace treaties that Israel has already on the table with their neighbors, Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians.
Again I must say, the prophecy of Daniel 9:27 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.

Israeli officials say Anti-Semitism is alive and kicking
At a two day conference held in Jerusalem, the global forum for combating Anti-Semitism, over 50 nations gathered with some 500 delegates to discuss the issue of Anti-Semitism and they heard from Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs that not one day goes by without an expression of hatred against Jews.
The conference leader quoted the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who said that Anti-Zionism, in other words, Anti-Israel, is the same as Anti-Semitism indicating that anyone who criticizes Israel is criticizing the Jewish people.
Jimmy's Prophetic prospective on the News
The global forum to fight against Anti-Semitism held in Jerusalem reveals that being Anti-Israel is Anti-Semitic which Bible prophecy confirms as well.
Anti-Semitism is alive and kicking according to the Minister of Diaspora Affairs in Israel, Yuli Edelstein, who told 500 delegates from over 50 nations of this world that not one day goes by without an expression of hatred against Jews. Edelstein said that Jews around the world are in danger of their lives and when the state of Israel is under repeated assaults, that this is the worst kind of Anti-Semitism.
This issue, Anti-Semitism, is an issue that is not going away in the future, in fact it will only intensify according to Bible prophecy. The Jewish prophets spoke about hatred of the Jewish people in the last days, a hatred that will increase to the point that the Lord will have to intercede on behalf of the Jewish people. Jeremiah talks about the time of Jacob's Trouble, Jeremiah 30:7.
John, the Apostle, the writer of the book of Revelation, said that Israel, the Jewish people, will come under fire for a seven year period of time in the last days, Revelation 6-19. Zechariah wrote that two out of every three Jewish people will be killed during that time described in Revelation, Zechariah 13:8.
Indeed Anti-Semitism is alive and kicking and will only get worse.

Thousands of Jews gather at the Temple Mount to declare this sacred piece of real estate belongs to the Jewish people
Thousands of Jews gathered recently at the gates to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to declare their allegiance to this holy site and to declare the city of Jerusalem is the united, undivided, eternal capital of the Jewish people.
Speakers at the rally march said that discrimination has severely restricted the ability of Jews to ascend to the Temple Mount while at the same time Moslem rules forbid Jews from praying on this site which is Judaism's most holy site.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Thousands of Jews marching around the Temple Mount to say that this sacred piece of real estate is Jewish is an event that speaks to the past and to the future that is according to Bible prophecy.
The Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the location of the gold domed building, the Dome of the Rock that is seen on the Jerusalem skyline, is the same as the spot that Abraham took his son Isaac to offer as a sacrifice. This place is Mount Moriah where King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple 3000 years ago, II Chronicles 3:1. The Temple Mount, as it is known today, is also where the Jews returning from the Babylonian captivity rebuilt the Temple, Ezra 1-6.
Today, the Temple Mount is a place of controversy as the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah said that it would be in the last days, Zechariah 12:2. The Islamic Trust controls the Temple Mount today and they refuse to allow the Jewish worshipers to pray there on the mount, and often they will not even allow the Jews to enter the Temple Mount compound.
By the way, that same Jewish prophet Zechariah also predicted that the Lord was jealous for Jerusalem, aggressively possessive for the city that He chose to dwell among His people forever and He is sore displeased about the heathen control of this sacred spot and He also said that one day He will come back to Jerusalem and to the Temple Mount there to build His Temple that will be on that spot forever, Zechariah 1:14-16 and this is Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Russia's Prime Minister, 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 Eastern 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.

On an Israeli news site the headline read, new immigrants fulfill prophecy of the ingathering of the Jewish people
The headline on the Arutz 7 news website in Israel says that new immigrants recently arriving in Israel are part of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy that foretold the ingathering of the Jewish people to the land of their forefathers in the days before the coming of the Messiah. Among the most recent new Israeli citizens were a group from the United States, actually 21 different states, and the group included a 5 month old baby and a 95 year old grandmother, all citizens of the United States that have a Jewish background and wanted to spend the rest of their lives in the land that they say God has provided for the Jewish people.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Jews returning to the land of Israel today to become citizens of the land of their forefathers is a part of the process of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the last days.
Recently on a very popular Israeli news website, Arutz 7, the headline of one of the major stories was, new immigrants fulfill prophecy of the ingathering. It was a photo story showing hundreds of Jews from America that had decided to come home to the land of their forefathers, the land of Israel. Many of them carried signs telling of their love for Israel and a number of these new Israeli citizens even got off of the airplane and kissed the ground of the Jewish state. The web news site wanted to feature the story of Jews coming home to Israel because they believe it is a part of Bible prophecy being fulfilled and they are correct.
Over the last 100 years, out of 100 nations of the world, Jews have been making their way into the Jewish state of Israel even before it became a state. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote 2500 years ago that the Lord, in the last days, will bring the Jews from wherever they are in the world into the land that He had promised them. That prophecy is found in Ezekiel 34 where 18 times the Lord says that He will find the Jews where they had been scattered some 2000 years ago and bring them into the land of their forefathers. Ezekiel 37:8 foretells of the Jewish state being revived and Ezekiel 36 tells the Jews of the land that God will give them in the last days.
The arrival of Jews in Israel to immigrate, to come home, is, as the Israeli website reported, the proof that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled.

The next frontier for the NASA space program is not another trip to the Moon, but instead, better relations with the Moslem world
The NASA administrator, Charles Bolden, in a recent interview with an Arabic news organization, says that his foremost mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Moslem world. Bolden said that President Obama assigned him the task of strengthening the ties with Moslems and and it was among the top tasks which is contradictory to the priorities that NASA has had in the past according to the former NASA director Michael Griffin.
Griffin says that NASA represents the best of America and its purpose is not to inspire Moslems which would be a mistake to prioritize that activity over NASA's fundamental mission of space exploration.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
America using its NASA space exploration agency as a diplomatic tool to improve US relations with the Moslem world is one more evidence that Islam is having a major impact in our world today even as Bible prophecy reveals that to be the case for the last days.
With the downsizing of the American space program, President Obama has given the NASA administrator the top task of using NASA to improve US relations with the Moslem world. The former astronauts are totally opposed to President Obama's decision to cut back on space exploration and the former NASA administrator, Michael Griffin, says that Moslem nation cooperation is not vital for America's advancement in space exploration.
This report is not meant to be an attack on the Moslem world but to bring to your attention the growing influence of Moslems in our world today as foretold in Bible prophecy. In a number of prophetic passages in the Bible the nations and events listed as major players and events in the last days have one common denominator; they are all Moslem. Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, Psalm 83, and Joel 2 all refer to the alignment of nations which will endeavor to destroy the Jewish state of Israel in the last days. Joel 2 even mentions that the largest army ever formed on the face of the earth will come against the Jewish state of Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
US ties with the Moslem world, even though they may be a priority of the new administrator at NASA, is simply a part of a scenario where the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Google, the great information highway, is saying you can trust them with all of your personal information
The internet information highway platform known as Google which sometimes seems like a technological octopus with its tentacles reaching out in every direction, is simply the concept that is trying to organize the world's information on any device and in any way they can figure out how to do it.
The strategy of the leaders of Google is based upon the talk for years of our society being mobile which is right now finally taking off and Google wants to see if their strategy of compiling the information of the world and making it available to the world will actually work.
Google recognizes the privacy issues involved in such an operation but they believe the users of these services will determine whether Google is infringing on this privacy. Google says, "Trust us with your data".
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The plea for the world to trust Google, the platform that will control all the information of the world, is a precursor to an end of days scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.
The leadership of Google wants society to trust them with all of their private data. Google believes that if they violate that trust, people will move immediately to someone else. Thus, Google says they have a very high interest in maintaining the trust of those users of their information gathering operation.
You may question, "How does this scenario fit into Bible prophecy that will be played out in the last days". Well that's a great question and I believe the answer is found in the plan of the Antichrist to control the world from a one world, economic, governmental, and political power base that will be located in the literal city of Babylon, Revelation 18. Revelation 13:16-17 reveals that in the last days, everybody left on the earth after the Rapture, when Jesus Christ calls Christians into the heavenlies, that during this time to follow, during the Tribulation Period, all who want to buy or sell will have to have an identification mark on the forehead or the back of the hand.
As world leaders meet to bring an end to the global economic crisis of today, they are calling for just such a global economic structure.
Trust me! The world is ready for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The US has questioned its unwavering support of Israel in recent days
With the different meetings being held at the White House between US President Obama and the Israeli PM Netanyahu there has emerged the question of the unwavering support for the Jewish state of Israel that has been the mainstay down through the years of America's intimate alliance with Israel as being good for both the US and Israel.
The condemnation of the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, the insistence by Israel that they have a right to defend their borders including the area of the Gaza Strip, and the controversy surrounding the city of Jerusalem have been the sticking points that have caused these questions by US leaders as to whether their support is as strong as it has been for the Jewish state.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The US starting to waver on its support for the Jewish state of Israel is done at its own peril and does set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
For over 200 years, the US has been one of the major supporters and protectors of the Jewish people and since 1948 America has been the mainstay of support for the Jewish state. Over the last several years and moving towards a low mark in US support for Israel, which has been good for both countries, we are seeing this relationship drift apart more and more almost on a daily basis.
America's disapproval of Jewish settlements has been a focus of US critics as well as the right for Jews to buy, build, and live in any section of the city of Jerusalem. I mentioned earlier that America breaks these ties with Israel at its own peril. God told Abraham, Genesis 12:3, I will bless those who bless thee and I will curse those who curse thee. I do not mean that Israel is right all of the time, but when Israel does what God's Word says and God rewards the Jewish people, all peoples must support them
The ancient Jewish prophets wrote of God returning the Jews to their land, Ezekiel 34:35. He promised to give them a state, Ezekiel 37. These prophecies are in the process of being fulfilled.
If America or any other nation of the world decides to drop their support for the Jewish state, they do it at their own peril.
The condemnation of the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, the insistence by Israel that they have a right to defend their borders including the area of the Gaza Strip, and the controversy surrounding the city of Jerusalem have been the sticking points that have caused these questions by US leaders as to whether their support is as strong as it has been for the Jewish state.

The US starting to waver on its support for the Jewish state of Israel is done at its own peril and does set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
For over 200 years, the US has been one of the major supporters and protectors of the Jewish people and since 1948 America has been the mainstay of support for the Jewish state. Over the last several years and moving towards a low mark in US support for Israel, which has been good for both countries, we are seeing this relationship drift apart more and more almost on a daily basis.
America's disapproval of Jewish settlements has been a focus of US critics as well as the right for Jews to buy, build, and live in any section of the city of Jerusalem. I mentioned earlier that America breaks these ties with Israel at its own peril. God told Abraham, Genesis 12:3, I will bless those who bless thee and I will curse those who curse thee. I do not mean that Israel is right all of the time, but when Israel does what God's Word says and God rewards the Jewish people, all peoples must support them

As we celebrate the birthday of the United States, the question of America's place in Bible prophecy can be answered
Independence Day celebrations mark the birth of the United States of America, an experiment that has been very successful in many different ways. Many Christians say that the reason for America's prosperity is due to their support for world evangelism. The United States has been the launch pad for worldwide missions, spreading the gospel to a needy world.
The other reason given for America's success is that we have protected the Jewish state of Israel for the many years of its existence, keeping the Jewish people from total elimination by its enemies. These two reasons, at the least, have played a role in bringing the United States to where it is today; but where is the United States in Bible prophecy?
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The question of America's place in Bible prophecy does have an answer.
"Where is America in Bible prophecy?" That is the most asked question in any "Prophecy Question and Answer" time. I am always asked this question when I open up to inquiring people.
Once in a "Prophecy Question and Answer" time someone told me that they knew, so I asked "Where?"
They said, "Jerusalem."
I asked them to explain, and they spelled out the word Jerusalem.
"J - e - r - U - S - A - l - e - m", to which everybody laughed.
As I thought about the answer though, I believe that it is correct, the only place in Bible prophecy that I see the possibility of the mention of the United States or an illusion to the United States is in Zechariah 14:2.
Zechariah revealed that at the time of the end all of the armies of the world would gather at Jerusalem, under the leadership of Satan, Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet - there to confront Jesus Christ on His return to the Mount of Olives from where He departed some 2,000 years ago. If America survives the 7 year Tribulation Period, their army would join the other armies of the world at Jerusalem.
America today is great because the backbone of this nation is made up of true, Bible believing, born-again Christians. When the Christians leave this world at the Rapture of the Church, which could happen at any moment, the most powerful nation in the world will most likely fall from it's power base.
America's spiritual decline, in the present, will result in a power decline in the future. 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 belonged 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 (the entire book of Joshua). 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.

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.
