A leading rabbinical thinker says Europe is no longer a Christian continent

Listen to Today's Program

Rabbi David Rosen, a leading Jewish thinker, says that the continent of Europe has diversified religiously and is no longer a Christian continent since there are now 13 million Muslims and over one million Jews among the 370 million who tell pollsters that they are Christians, but I must tell you that church attendance is almost nil.

EU institutions avoid God, however in some European member states as well as those nations wanting to join the EU, Christian origins are still politically important.

Some EU leaders voiced concern about the growth of Islam on the European continent and fear the increase of Muslims with the possible entrance of Albania, Kosovo, and Turkey into the membership of the EU.

The subject of religion and its connection to the continent of Europe has a significance in the end times events that are found in Bible prophecy.

A leading rabbinical thinker, David Rosen, says that the continent of Europe has diversified religiously in recent years and is no longer a Christian continent. For hundreds of years, Christianity was headquartered on the European continent and it was the center of missionary activity around the world. With the emergence of the common market in Europe and the ratification of the EU, religion has played less of a role in this part of the world, however the Catholic church has for years worked to make sure that religion played a major role in the EU. Many EU leaders have voiced concerns about the growth of the Muslim population in Europe at this time in history.

This unfolding story echoes what the Bible lays out for the last days scenario on the continent of Europe. Daniel 7:7-24 speaks of the revived Roman Empire that has a major religious element in its makeup. Revelation 13 and 17 both reveal the key role that religion plays in the end times. In fact, in the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year Tribulation there will be a world religion that will be headquartered in Rome, Italy.

Religion does play a major role in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The Arab League warns Israel: Don't touch the Muslim Temple Mount

Listen to Today's Program

The Arab League made up of twenty-two Arab member states has issued a warning to Israel to stay away from al -Aqsa Mosque which is located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This location is a very sacred spot for the Jewish people and the location of the first and second Jewish Temples over a one thousand year period of time.

Surprisingly, the Arab League's statement termed, "the Mosque on the Temple Mount" - the holiest of the Arab and Islamic holy sites which is contrary to Islamic law that sets Mecca as Islam's holiest site. The Arab League statement said al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line that must not be crossed and any attack would endanger the safety and the stability of the entire Middle Eastern region.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Arab League's warning to Israel not to touch the Muslim Temple Mount is contradictory to history and Bible prophecy as well.

The Arab League, an organization of 22 Arab states, is very strong in the Middle East and when they issue a warning, it should get everybody's attention. The Muslim world does have custodial responsibility over the Temple Mount but not to the extent that it can be referred to as the Muslim Temple Mount. History contradicts these Muslim claims.

The Bible states that King David captured the Jebusite stronghold of Jerusalem in 1048 BC. This is the time when David made Jerusalem the political capital of the Jewish people, II Samuel 5. Several years later, King David made Jerusalem the spiritual capital of the Jewish people when he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the city. In 1012 BC, Solomon, David's son, built a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount referred to as Mt. Moriah in II Chronicles 3:1. Mt. Moriah is that sacred spot where Abraham offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice unto the Lord, Genesis 22 in 1872 BC. This history lesson proves that the Temple Mount belongs to the Jews and has belonged to them for almost 4000 years. In addition to that, Bible prophecy says the Temple Mount will be where the Lord will dwell among the Jewish people, His people forever, Psalm 132:13-14.

History has been recorded and Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The Islamist Egyptian president was insulted by a video that promotes the building of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem

Listen to Today's Program 

The Temple Institute, a Jewish organization who is preparing to build a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, produced a 90 second video promoting the project and it used the images of two children at the beach building a sand model of the Jewish Temple.

The video concluded the short presentation with the Temple made out of sand and the caption reading, "The children are ready", indicating even the Jewish children are looking for the next Temple.

This promotional piece supposedly irritated the Islamist Egyptian President Morsi who has said in the past that there will not be a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem but instead the Temple Mount will be the headquarters for an Islamic global kingdom.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Islamist Egyptian President Morsi does not want a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as called for in a new promotional video, evidence that Bible prophecy is getting very close to being fulfilled.

The Temple Institute, the leaders of the Jewish community who want to build a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, produced a promotional video that encourages the Jewish people to move ahead with this project. The video depicts two children on the beach building what seems to be a sand castle but instead, the finished product is a sand model of the Temple. The final scene of this 90 second video has the caption, "The children are ready". This video was seen by Egyptian officials who say that it irritated the Islamist Egyptian President Morsi who in the past has called for a global Islamic caliphate, a worldwide kingdom to be headquartered in Jerusalem, not a Jewish Temple.

However, Bible prophecy is absolute that there will be a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. Zechariah 1:16 says that the Messiah will return to Jerusalem and build a Temple. Ezekiel 40-46, 202 verses, describe the Kingdom Temple where the Messiah will rule and reign forever, Zechariah 6:13. Even before the Kingdom Temple, the ancient Jewish prophets foretold of a Temple in Jerusalem, Daniel 9:27, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1.

Arab world leaders may not like it, but there will be a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

Palestinian TV presents a baby eating Zionist lizard as the enemy of the Palestinian people

Listen to Today's Program

The official television outlet for the PA in Ramallah, Israel has broadcasted a painting which shows a lizard man impaling Palestinian children on his bayonet and eating them one by one as he is depicted as a Jewish lizard wearing a kippah with the star of David.

The painting also reveals dead children piled up to be eaten and two baby lizard men also shown eating Palestinian children, a scene that the Palestinian artist claims is dealing with the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The PA, supposed peace partners with Israel, says that the painting is about the Gaza massacre and the Zionist enemies' cruelty and savagery.


Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Palestinian television depicting a baby eating, Zionist lizard impaling Palestinian children on a bayonet is not only inciting hatred against the Jews, but also setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

On a recent Palestinian television program, the host of the program interviewed a Palestinian artist whose painting depicts a lizard man impaling Palestinian children on a bayonet and then eating these children one by one. The artist explained that his work was to make known to the wold the cruelty and savagery of the Jewish state of Israel against the Palestinians in what he referred to as the Gaza massacre.

Palestinian Media Watch who monitors the Palestinian media, said this was an effort to demonize the Jews through the arts and the Palestinian media. Several of the ancient Jewish prophets spoke of the end of times conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians. Malachi, in reference to the Edomites, the Palestinian people of today, these descendants of Esau would come to power in the last days and rebuild their base even with borders, borders that the Lord said are borders of wickedness, Malachi 1:4. Obadiah foretold of the arrogance of the Palestinians as they would be intoxicated with power over the Jewish people today, Obadiah 15-18. This passage in Obadiah also reveals the demise of the Palestinian people at the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

This despicable painting of a baby-eating, Zionist lizard is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

As world leaders work for peace in the Middle East the current peace agreements are unraveling

Listen to Today's Program

World leaders in America, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East are working to bring about a peace in the Middle East even as three peace agreements between Israel and their neighbors are actually unraveling and may not be in effect for very long.

The Camp David Accords, a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, is almost a thing of the past with the present situation in Egypt as is the case with the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan with most Jordanians wanting to dissolve that treaty.

The Oslo Accords, a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, has never been normalized and is not a working agreement because the radical Islamists among the Palestinians have no regard for the treaty and in fact are calling for an armed struggle to eliminate the Jewish state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

With three different peace agreements between Israel and her neighbors in place the Middle East peace process is in bad shape but it will be rescued according to Bible prophecy.

In 1979, Israel and Egypt signed the Camp David Accords, the first peace treaty that Israel ever signed with an enemy state. The Palestinians and the Israelis also came to an agreement on peace in 1993 with the Oslo Accords. In October of 1994, the late King Hussein of Jordan and the late Yitzhak Rabin prime minister of Israel, both signed a peace treaty between the two nations. What is common with all of these peace agreements is that they never have been normalized. Even the peace envoy for the Quartet, which is the US, EU, UN, and Russia, Tony Blair has not been successful in bringing about peace. However, I must remind you that Bible prophecy does call for a world leader to come on the scene who will be successful in putting a peace treaty in place that he will make work.

Daniel 9:27 says that the Antichrist will confirm a treaty between Israel and her neighbors. I did not say he will sign a treaty, but instead confirm, strengthen, make stronger, make the treaty work. In order for this to happen, there must be a peace treaty or three peace treaties on the table not working. The Antichrist will confirm them.

There are three peace treaties on the table not working, waiting for the Antichrist, a world leader, to appear.

A Muslim preacher on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem says this sacred piece of real estate belongs to the Muslims and it will belong to them forever

Listen to Today's Program

Sheikh Yousef Salami, a Muslim preacher at Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, said that this sacred spot is an Islamic holy site as determined by the Creator of the world and as indicated in the Koran and shall belong to Muslims forever.

The sheikh's statement was in response to a ruling by Israel's attorney general that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is part of Israeli territory and Israeli law applies to this holy site.

The Temple Mount was left in the hands of an Islamic Trust by the Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan at the time of the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967 and the Muslims have since then tried to remove every evidence of any Jewish presence at this Jewish holy site.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A statement by a Muslim preacher that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is an Islamic holy site and will belong to the Muslims forever is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Shiekh Yosef Salami stated recently that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem belongs to the Muslims and will belong to them forever based on the Koran. The shiekh said that the holy site was an Islamic site so determined by the Creator of the world. Since the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967, the Islamic Trust has had custodial control of the Temple Mount but Israel claims sovereignty over this holy site. The Jews say that the Temple Mount is the most sacred site in all of Judaism which is backed up by God's Word, the Bible.

God promised Jewish King David this holy site for a temple that one day will stand on the Temple Mount forever, II Samuel 7. Jesus said He would come back to Jerusalem and build that temple one day, Zechariah 1:16. The Temple Mount is the holy mountain of God according to Daniel 9:16, 20; a place where the Lord said He would dwell among His people, the Jewish people, forever, Psalm 132:13-14.

This pronouncement by a Muslim preacher that the Temple Mount will belong to the Muslims forever is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Palestinian officials deny the Koran in order to declare there was never a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem

Listen to Today's Program

For years, the PA leaders have denied Jewish history both in ancient Judea and Samaria and in Jerusalem in particular with historical revisionism centering on the denial that a Jewish Temple ever existed in Jerusalem as they consistently refer to the Temple as the alleged temple.

This Palestinian claim that the temple never existed contradicts the Koran where it mentions in Sura 17:2-7 the destruction of both the first and second Jewish temples in Jerusalem. The Palestinians accuse Israel of forging a false Jewish history in order to Judaize the Temple Mount so they can destroy al Aqsa Mosque and build a Jewish temple on this holy site.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Palestinian claim that there never was a Jewish temple in Jerusalem is a contradiction of history and archaeological record and it does set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For years, the propaganda of the Palestinian leadership in Israel has been focused on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the declaration that there has never been a Jewish temple on this holy site sacred to the Jewish people. Palestinian claims of the Jews forging Jewish history for the Temple Mount are in the face of impeccable Jewish and Christian sources, plus these claims go against the archaeological record documented for this area.

In fact, these claims by the Palestinians of no temple in Jerusalem contradict the statements of Jesus Christ who not only taught on the Temple Mount at the temple, but predicted in Matthew 24:2 that the temple would be destroyed as it was in 70AD by the Roman army. These Palestinian statements about the Temple Mount not being Jewish denies their own holy book, the Koran, but also confirms the prophetic scenario for the last days that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Zechariah, the ancient Jewish prophet, revealed the future when he wrote that Jerusalem will be the center of controversy in the end times, Zechariah 12:2. He also wrote of another Jewish temple that will be built there on the temple Mount in Jerusalem by the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Zechariah 6:12.

Palestinian claims aside, Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

A supercomputer has predicted and will in the future be able to predict upcoming world conflicts and revolutions

Listen to Today's Program

According to the research at the University of Illinois feeding a supercomputer with millions of news stories, scientists believe they can predict major world events including regional conflicts and even revolutions like the recent revolutions in Libya and Egypt.

Scientists say they liken this forecasting of conflicts to weather forecasting and the system appears to generate better intelligence than the US government is working with today.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A supercomputer that can predict world conflict before the fact may or may not be totally accurate, but there is a way to know the future, that is by reading the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

As scientists feed hundreds of millions of news articles into a supercomputer, they are working on developing a way to foretell the future in the area of world conflict and revolutions. This new research seems to have predicted the uprising in the Arab world, the so-called Arab spring with pretty good accuracy; however, pretty good is not perfect as is the written Word of God and its presentation of the end time scenario for the events of the future.

Daniel, the ancient Jewish prophet, in Daniel 11 predicted the rise of Ahazerias, the king of the book of Esther, 57 years before he appeared, Daniel 11:2. He also revealed information about Alexander the Great 200 years before he came to power and 360 years before the fact, Daniel prewrote history about Antiochus Epiphanes who would desecrate the Temple which did happen December 25, 168 BC. Daniel's prophecy, which is prewritten history about the Antichrist found in Daniel 7:8, 9:27, and 11:36-45 will also be fulfilled based on past prophecies being fulfilled. Daniel also wrote of world conflict 2500 years ago which would include Syria, Egypt, and Libya the major Arab nations now on the radar screen, Daniel 11:40-44.

We must not put our trust in a supercomputer that actually can fail, but instead put our trust in Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

A Jewish rabbi in Jerusalem is calling for Jews to stop praying at the Western Wall

Listen to Today's Program

Rabbi Yehuda Glick, of an organization called "The Movement for the Establishment of the Temple", says that the Jewish people have become psychologically connected, over the centuries, to the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem because the rebuilding of the temple seems like an impossible task. Rabbi Glick says that about 25 years ago Jews started to ascend to the Temple Mount even though it was a very small group but now hundreds are now on a regular basis going up on to the Temple Mount to offer their prayers.

The rabbi is now calling for Jews to unite and make every effort to go on to this sacred location for every Jew, the Temple Mount, and become focused on the rebuilding of the next temple in Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The call by a rabbi in Jerusalem to ascend to the Temple Mount in preparation for the next Jewish temple on this sacred site, is the next step to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Rabbi Yehuda Glick for a number of years directed the efforts of the Temple Institute to prepare for the building of the next Jewish temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Temple Institute has all the implements needed to operate the temple including the knowledge of the location of the Ark of the Covenant. All 28,000 priests, to be used in the next temple, have been trained and even their priestly garments are either made or being made right now.

However, Rabbi Glick now believes it is time to prepare the Jewish people to become accustomed to ascending the Temple Mount, not only for learning and prayer, but to be involved in the Temple practices as well. That's why he says no more prayers at the Western Wall but instead, let's go up on to the Temple Mount.

God's prophetic Word does say that in the last days the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will return to build the temple on the Temple Mount (Zechariah 1:16, 6:12). That temple built by the Messiah will be His kingdom temple where He reigns for 1000 years. However, before the Messiah's temple is built on the Temple Mount there will be a Tribulation temple (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1).

Jews ascending onto the Temple Mount today are actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Iraqi people who were under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein believe their present prime minister is becoming another dictator

Listen to Today's Program

Key political factions in war torn Iraq have accused their present prime minister Nouri Maliki of becoming a dictator and setting in place a governmental system similar to that of the late Saddam Hussein who ruled the Iraqi people with an iron fist in a decade long dictatorship.

Anti US Shiite cleric Muqtada Sadr who leads one of Iraq's political parties has accused Prime Minister Maliki of trying to either delay or actually cancel the next Iraqi election and lead the country under a dictatorship similar to the style of the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A return to an Iraqi dictatorship like the one under Saddam Hussein is a precursor for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

For over a decade, Saddam Hussein led the Iraqi people as a strongman dictator and he gave the orders for thousands of his own people to be killed because they refused his leadership. Muqtada Sadr, a radical Islamic cleric who has a large militia under his leadership as well as a political party that Sadr heads, wants to bring down the Maliki government thus the reason for accusing Maliki of being a dictator.

This scenario fits the prophetic passages in God's Word that reveal a period of time in the future when Iraq will once again be under a dictatorship according to Revelation 18 and 13:16-17. These passages indicate that dictator will be the Antichrist, the Satanically energized personality of the Tribulation Period. Modern day Iraq, a war torn nation today, will indeed rebuild and be known as Babylon, that's its biblical name, and it will become the economic, political, governmental capital of the world that rules under the dictatorship of the Antichrist. The ancient Jewish prophets reveal that after Babylon comes back to power it will be destroyed, Isaiah 13-14, Jeremiah 50-51 and Revelation 16.

A move towards a dictatorship in Iraq today is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Palestinians are calling for unity in order to be able to destroy the state of Israel

Listen to Today's Program

A minister of the Palestinian Authority, the ruling body for the Palestinian people, says that the two factions of the Palestinian people, Fatah and Hamas, must unite in order to achieve the destruction of the state of Israel.  This report from an official Palestinian Authority newspaper revealed a number of Palestinian Authority ministers who agreed with the call for Palestinian unity in their struggle against Israel.

Both Fatah and Hamas, the two factions of the Palestinian body politic, have been involved in the armed struggle to remove the Jewish state from the land that Palestinians claim as their state and now the radical rhetoric is calling for Palestinian unity in order to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call by the official of the Palestinian Authority for the Palestinian people to unite in order to destroy the Jewish state of Israel is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

In a large Palestinian rally attended by female Palestinian prisoners recently released from Israeli jails, an official of the Palestinian Authority called for the reunification of the Palestinian people.  The Palestinian Authority minister said that the Palestinians must unite in order to achieve their goal of the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state on all the land that today belongs to the Jewish people.

This Palestinian plan fits exactly with the prophetic passages found in the Bible that reveals what will happen in the last days between Israel and the Palestinians.  Malachi wrote that the Edomites, the Palestinian people of today, would return to Israel and set up borders - borders which the Lord said will be borders of wickedness (Malachi 1).  Ezekiel foretold of a time when the Palestinians would kill the Jewish people and then take their land (Ezekiel 35).  The little prophetic book of Obadiah says that the Palestinians will become intoxicated with power as they take the steps to rid the land now known as Israel of the Jewish people, but these Palestinians themselves will be destroyed (Obadiah 15-18).

Calls for the Palestinians to unite in order to be able to destroy Israel will only set the stage for the opposite to happen.  Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Israeli rabbi has called for the restoration of animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem

Listen to Today's Program

Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, the leader of the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, has called for the restoration of animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount even though the temple has not been rebuilt yet and the rabbi said the fact is that the Temple Mount is in Arab hands must end so that the Jews may go onto the Temple Mount and offer these animal sacrifices.

In Biblical times, when the temple was on the Temple Mount and especially during the high holy days, Jews from around the world would come to Jerusalem to offer animal sacrifices and today everything is ready to resume these sacrifices.  The priests are trained and ready, their garments are made, and the implements for the sacrificial system are ready to be used to follow God's command.  The Israeli government and the Muslim world are the only hindrances to restoring these animal sacrifices. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An Israeli rabbi calling for the restoration of animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is a precursor for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

When the Jewish temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70AD there ceased to be a place for animal sacrifices for the Jewish people so that they could follow the Biblical mandate to offer sacrifices.  Today all preparations have been made to both build the temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and then to restore the sacrificial system.  In fact, the Bible does mandate a return to animal sacrifices when the Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns to the earth, Zechariah 14:4, to build His temple in Jerusalem, Zechariah 1:16, 6:12.  Ezekiel 45 foretells of the sacrificial system being restored in the Kingdom period.  These kingdom sacrifices will be done in remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice by Jesus Christ and in addition, the Jews will offer sacrifices at that time for the purpose of restoring fellowship with the Messiah.  However, prior to the kingdom temple, there will be another temple in Jerusalem during the seven year Tribulation with a return to sacrifices, Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1-2.

A rabbi calling for the return of the sacrificial system today is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The growing antisemitic trends around the world and especially in Europe have Jews in fear for their lives

Listen to Today's Program 

An ever increasing number of attacks on Jews around the world, including the attack on a Jewish school in southern France, has put fear in the hearts of Jewish people living in what would be considered a civilized world, a fear for their lives and the lives of their families as antisemitism continues to grow globally.  A recent survey of people in ten European nations reveals that 30% of Europeans have antisemitic beliefs and still believe that Jews are responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, the main motivation for antisemitism.  An additional factor in the increase of European antisemitism is the ever growing population of Moslems around the world but especially all across the European continent, a factor that results from the Islamic beliefs that Jews should be removed from the earth. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Growing antisemitism around the world and especially in Europe is evidence that the scenario found in Bible prophecy is moving ever so close to the fulfillment of these prophecies for the end times. 

A number of violent attacks on Jews around the world and the attack by a radical Moslem on a Jewish school in France is tangible evidence that the rise in antisemitism in our world is becoming a major threat to the Jewish people today.  A recent survey among ten European nations indicated that the belief that Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ is a major factor in this rise in antisemitism.  It is also true that the ever increasing Moslem population in Europe is a factor in antisemitism among the European peoples. 

Couple this survey information with the Arab and Moslem world's use of radical rhetoric towards Israel and the Jewish people and the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.  Several ancient Jewish prophets revealed a time when the world would hate the Jews and want to rid the world of these people.  Zechariah wrote 2500 years ago that at that time 2 out of every 3 Jews would be hated and then killed.  Evil angels, led by the devil himself, will try and kill every Jew on the earth (Revelation 12:7-17).  Jeremiah called this terrible time in the future the "time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7).  Daniel wrote in 12:1, that the Lord would dispatch Michael the archangel to protect the Jews from complete annihilation.

Antisemitism today will lead to Bible prophecy being fulfilled in a future tomorrow. 

The highest ranking Moslem cleric in Saudi Arabia is calling for all churches to be destroyed

Listen to Today's Program

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheik Abdul Abdullah, says that it is necessary to destroy all churches in the Middle East, and he based his declaration on the Islamic holy book, the Hadith, which quotes Mohammad as saying on his death bed, that only Islam can be practiced in the Middle East.  The Mufti asserted that all law in the Middle East must conform to Sharia, the law of the Koran as revealed by Allah, the Islamic god. 

This declaration by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia comes on the heels of a Wall Street Journal article written by the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations which stated that Arab discrimination against Christian minorities is a prevalent phenomenon throughout the Arab world. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A declaration by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia that Christian churches in the Middle East must be destroyed is a page out of Bible prophecy. 

Over the last several years there have been many reports of Christian churches being destroyed and church attenders being killed by radical Islamists.  This phenomenon has been on the increase in recent days and the declaration from the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia that all Christian churches in the Middle East must be destroyed, will only add to the urgency of this destruction by Moslem radicals. 

Across the Arab world, more and more Christians and their churches and leaders, are the focus of a fast growing element in our world today who say only the Islamic religion is the one that all of human kind must be a part of in this time in history.  This scenario unfolding today was actually written about in a yesterday over 2000 years ago.  John, the human writer of the book of Revelation, wrote of the slaughter of believers in Jesus Christ in a number of locations in the book of Revelation.  Revelation 6:9-11 foretells of a time when those who stand for the Word of God, the Bible, and who have a testimony that Jesus Christ is their Savior, these believers will be killed.  Revelation 20:4 says that they will be beheaded for their faith.  These Biblical prophecies are referring to the time of Tribulation, that seven year period of judgment on the earth following the Rapture and before the Second Coming of Christ. 

The Grand Mufti's call for all Christian churches in the Middle East to be destroyed is indeed a lead up to Bible prophecy being fulfilled.

A leading rabbi in Jerusalem believes the Temple will be rebuilt in his lifetime

Listen to Today's Program

In a documentary produced by my son, Jim Jr., a leading rabbi in Jerusalem says that he believes the next Jewish temple will be rebuilt on the Temple Mount in his lifetime and he says everything is ready to build that temple today. Rabbi Nachman Kahane, the rabbi who has guided many Jewish students of the Scriptures on the subject of the temple has been the main source of serious study and preparations to build the Jewish temple basically because that is what the Bible calls for from the religious Jews.

In Rabbi Kahane's Yeshiva, which is a place of learning for Jewish young men, the rabbi trained all the leaders of this effort to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and it was his students that started the Temple Institute who has accumulated all the implements for the next temple and train the men to operate that temple.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

All the preparations have been made to rebuild the next Jewish temple in Jerusalem which is in essence a page out of Bible prophecy for the end of times. Twenty years ago I sat with Rabbi Nachman Kahane as he was beginning his quest to rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. Now twenty years later the rabbi believes that the temple will indeed be rebuilt in his lifetime. That is a quote from the rabbi on a documentary released on the subject that shows the rabbi plus many others who also agree that the temple could be standing in Jerusalem in the very near future.

Rabbi Yehuda Glick, the former head of the Temple Institute, says even the priestly garments are ready and the temple will stand in full operation very soon. Rabbi Chaim Richman, who is the leading authority on the red heifer, says the temple will be built at the spot of the original site of the Garden of Eden which he says is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Rabbi Yoel Keren says that there will be a Jewish temple in Jerusalem that follows the details in Ezekiel 40-46 but first the Jewish people will build a less extravagant temple as they did when the Second Temple was rebuilt 2500 years ago. The priests have been trained, the implements made to operate the temple, even the Menorah, the seven branched candelabra, and there are ten stringed harps for the Levites to play as called for by King David in I Chronicles 23:5.

With all preparations made for the next temple, Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

The Palestinian leadership reaffirms that they have not abandoned their armed struggle against Israel

Listen to Today's Program

In an announcement from the leadership of the Palestinian people and even the Palestinian government they reaffirmed their program of armed struggle in resistance against what they call the Israeli occupation of their land and their Palestinian state.

The Palestinian leadership has committed to the creation of a Palestinian state and both factions of the Palestinian people, Hamas and Fatah, believe an armed struggled will be needed to remove the Israeli occupiers from their land in order to be able to create a Palestinian state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the Palestinian terror groups reaffirm their commitment to an armed struggle to remove Israeli occupiers from their land the stage is being set for the end of times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the focus of world leaders for many years as efforts have been made to bring resolution to this conflict. The Palestinians had an opportunity for their own state when the UN put forth the Partition Plan in 1948 and the Palestinians rejected the plan. Now the leadership of the Palestinian people are calling for a two state solution with a Palestinian state and a Jewish state side by side. The struggle between these two peoples has seen many killed on both sides over the years with failure at the peace table in order to be able to come to an agreement.

This conflict did not start in recent history but instead it was 4000 years ago when it started in the womb of their mother. That battle between Jacob and Esau, the Jewish people and the Palestinian people, started as they struggled before birth in their mother Rebecca, Genesis 25:22. God told their mother that these two boys would become two nations, Genesis 25:23 which reveals that these two people would be the Jewish people and the Palestinian people of today. Malachi 1 states that the Palestinians will have their borders and God will call these borders the borders of wickedness. Ezekiel 35 states that the Palestinians will kill the Jews and take their land. Obadiah reveals the end of the Palestinian people when Jesus Christ comes back to earth.

Even though the Palestinians are waging an armed struggle against the Jewish people today, I remind you that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The call by an Egyptian Muslim cleric to liberate the city of Jerusalem is a call to arms in the Islamic world but it is also a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

The highest ranking Muslim cleric in Egypt and perhaps the entire Sunni Arab world has set in motion a plan to remove all Jews from the city of Jerusalem. Underneath the banner of a campaign to stop the Judaization of Jerusalem, Ahmed a- Taib has called on all Muslims everywhere to join his efforts to remove Jews from Jerusalem and to use every source at their disposal to achieve their goal. A meeting between A- Taib and the leaders of the Islamic terror group Hamas brought a strategy together for achieving their goal of a Jew free Jerusalem. This report is tangible evidence of how the prophetic scenario found in Bible prophecy is quickly approaching the fulfillment on each of the prophecies related to the city of Jerusalem.

Zechariah 12:2 says that in the last days Jerusalem will be the center of controversy. The Davidic Covenant found in II Samuel 7 reveals that the Lord will place the Jews in Jerusalem forever and there He will protect them from all of their enemies. Jesus Christ said that He would return to Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4) and there build a temple where He will rule and reign forever (Zechariah 6:12-13). Jerusalem is the place where the Lord said that He would dwell among His people, the Jewish people, forever (Psalm 132:13-14).

No Muslim cleric or anyone else for that matter can stop Bible prophecy from being fulfilled.

The Vatican has called for a central world bank

Listen to Today's Program 

The Vatican recently called for a global public authority and a central world bank to rule over the financial institutions that have been at the center of the global economic crisis because they have become outdated and ineffective in dealing with this financial crisis.  There are those who say that this proposal by the Vatican is music to the ears of the demonstrators around the world who are calling for economic equality for all.

The 18 page Vatican document says that if a central financial authority is not set up, the crisis at a social, political, and economic level could create a climate of growing hostility and even violence which will ultimately destroy the foundations of our world. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The recent call by the Vatican for a central world bank and a global economic authority fits the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy for the last days.

In our world today there is a global economic crisis that does not seem to be going away.  Both the European Union and the United States face major financial problems that no one can find a solution for at the present time.  There have been calls by members of the G-20, the 20 leading economies of this world, for a worldwide financial structure to resolve this global economic crisis.

Now the Vatican has released a plan that they believe will bring about the end of this financial crisis.  In fact the Vatican plan says if there is not a resolution to the financial crisis violence will break out across the world.  The Vatican plan with a central authority and a world bank is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

The book of Revelation reveals that there will be a central authority to rule over a global economic structure and it will be headquartered in Babylon which is modern-day Iraq (Revelation 18).  This economic system will cause all in the world to take an identification mark on their forehead or the back of their hand in order to be able to buy or sell any necessity of life (Revelation 13:16-17).  The fulfillment of these prophecies will take place after the Rapture of the Church.

However, our present world crisis is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Thousands gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem for the priestly blessing

Listen to Today's Program

The annual priestly blessing chanted by thousands of kohanim, the male descendants of the brother of Moses, Aaron the Levite who was the first high priest, these chants went forth from the ancient Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem recently.

The participants, members of the priestly class of Jews, echoed Israel's chief rabbis in blessing the Jewish people both in Jerusalem, the nation of Israel and actually Jews around the world.

The recent blessing at the Western Wall was viewed by millions of Jews around the world via web cameras installed at the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Tens of thousands of Jews gathering at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to receive the priestly blessing is a precursor to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the end of times.

Recently, tens of thousands of Jews from around the world gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem to receive the priestly blessings from the thousands of Jewish men who claim to be priests. These men say they are of the tribe of Levi, a direct descendant of the brother of Moses, Aaron who was actually the very first high priest. The Bible directs priests to gather at the Temple three times a year and to pray for all of the Jewish people. This event happens on the three pilgrim feast days for the Jews: Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. The Old City of Jerusalem and the Western Wall Plaza was packed with 50,000 people who either received the priestly blessings or perform this special prayer. This happens however without a Temple in Jerusalem, but at the same time it looks ahead to the fulfillment of prophecy when there will be a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah revealed that the Messiah will come to Jerusalem and build His Temple there, Zechariah 6:12. That Temple, Messiah's Temple, is described in the book of Ezekiel 40-46 with 202 verse of meticulous information for how to build that Temple and operate the Temple services. However, there will be another Temple in Jerusalem before Messiah's Temple according to Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1, and may I remind you that preparations have been made for this next Temple to be built, it is ready to be built right now.

Tens of thousands at the Temple Mount gathering to receive the priestly blessing is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An international group of Christian lawmakers vow to stop the Iranian nukes

Listen to Today's Program

At the Chairman's Conference of the International Israel Allies Caucus in Jerusalem recently a group of Christian lawmakers from around the world signed the declaration of solidarity, a vow to stand with the Jewish state of Israel against the nuclear powered Iran.

These Christian lawmakers from states like the US, Canada, South Africa, the EU, and Brazil among said they would put pressure on their respective governments to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon of mass destruction

Almost on a daily basis, the Iranian leaders say they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth and Iran is indeed developing a nuclear weapon of mass destruction in order to carry out their threat.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

In an effort to show solidarity with Israel, a group of Christian lawmakers from around the world recently vowed to stand with the Jewish state as Israel is the target of Iran for complete annihilation which is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.

During a recent meeting of Christian lawmakers from around the world held in Jerusalem these political leaders vowed to pressure their respective governments to show solidarity with Israel, a nation under the threat of total annihilation from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Both the Iranian President Ahmadinejad and the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khomenei have said that their nation will lead the way to wipe Israel off the earth. The International Israel Allies Caucus had a group of political leaders from around the world sign the declaration of solidarity, a sign of support for Israel against the threats from Iran.

This scenario fits into the pages of Bible prophecy for the end times when the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel foretold of the time in history when Iran, referred to as Persia in Ezekiel 38:5, will help form a coalition of Islamic nations to attack Israel. This show of solidarity by the international lawmakers against Iran will not be the saving force for Israel. Ezekiel prewrote history when he wrote that the Lord will rain hail, fire and brimstone on Israel's enemies when they attack the Jewish state during the first six months of the seven year Tribulation Period, Ezekiel 38:18 - 39:6.

It is a blessing to Israel to receive support from Christian lawmakers from all around the world, but Jesus Christ will take care of the Jewish state.

An Israeli political leader calls for an end to Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount

Listen to Today's Program

Aryeh Eldad, a member of the Israeli Knesset, has called for the end of Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount which Eldad says dates back 1300 years ago to the time when a Muslim named Omar built the Dome of the Rock over the location of the first and second temples on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

As more and more religious Jews visit the Temple Mount there is a growing demand for the removal of all restrictions imposed by the Muslims and the Jewish people want a freedom to worship on this very sacred location.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call by an Israeli official for an end to the Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is a page out of Bible prophecy for the end of times.

Recent incidents on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem have brought about calls by the religious Jewish community for an end to the Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount. Orthodox Jews are forbidden to carry their Bibles onto the Temple Mount and they are restricted from offering any prayers on this holy site. In 691 AD, a Muslim named Omar built what is known as the Dome of the Rock over the location of the two previous Jewish temples. Now, a member of the Israeli Knesset has called for an end to the Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount. Aryeh Eldad, a member of the Israeli Knesset, does not want Muslims removed from the Temple Mount but instead wants total access and freedom of worship on the Temple Mount for the Jewish people.

Bible prophecy reveals what will happen in the future, the Jews will build a temple on the Temple Mount, Daniel 9:7, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1-2. By the way, that temple will be the Tribulation Temple which will be destroyed at the time of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ who will build His eternal temple on the Temple Mount where He will rule and reign forever, Zechariah 6:12-13. The prophet Zechariah also foretold of a time when Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular will be at the center of controversy, Zechariah 12:2-3.

A Jewish official calling for the end of the Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The US government has seized the bones of a dinosaur worth one million dollars

Listen to Today's Program

The courts in NY state issued a warrant forcing an auction house to return the fossil bones of what they call a 70 million year old dinosaur unearthed in the nation of Mongolia where it was discovered in the last decade.

The bones of the dinosaur were sold at auction in NY for one million dollars, but the court said that the sale was illegal because the fossil was illegally imported into the US.

The transaction for the sale of this dinosaur fossil has also been termed a fraud since there are those who say that the bones are not 70 million years old as claimed, thus the value of the bones is way over priced.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The sale of a 70 million year old dinosaur fossil for one million dollars is not only a fraud in the world of collectors, but totally contradicts the Bible account of Creation as well as the end time scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

A recent news report of the sale of a 70 million year old dinosaur fossil for one million dollars motivated the US government to stop the sale and actually confiscate the bones to return them to their rightful owner in Mongolia. When I read the story, I was taken back by the fact that someone was naive enough to pay one million dollars for a bunch of bones not nearly as old as claimed but also not as rare either since there are vast numbers of these bones across the world and even some dinosaurs still alive in our world today. The alligators found in the Everglades in Florida are the living species of dinosaurs that can be found in America. For sure, these bones are not 70 million years old having been created around 6000 years ago, Exodus 20:11 and Genesis 1:24 - 25.

This report is evidence of how God's Word is absolute in its record of Creation as found in Genesis 1. As one adds up the number of years between Creation and the Flood, Genesis 5 and the years total between the Flood and Abraham, you get approximately a 2000 year period of time. We know that Abraham lived about 4000 years ago, thus a 6000 year period of time from Creation until today. The connection between the Creation account recorded in Genesis 1 and Bible prophecy for the end of times is found in many biblical accounts of both Creation and Bible prophecy. Let me give you one example. Zechariah 12:1 speaks of Creation and the rest of Zechariah 12 lays out a prophetic scenario for the end times.

The Biblical account of Creation, absolute truth is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Japanese astronomers say they have discovered the oldest galaxy in our universe

Listen to Today's Program

A team of Japanese astronomers using telescopes on Hawaii say they have seen the oldest galaxy yet discovered which the team says is almost 13 billion light years away from earth and thus the galaxy is at the edge of our universe.

A light year is the distance that light travels in a year at 186,000 miles per second which is about six trillion miles that light would travel each year.

The Japanese astronomers say this latest discovery has enabled them to look back in time and using powerful telescopes will help them to peer deeper and deeper into the dawn of the universe.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A recent discovery of a galaxy almost 13 billion light years from earth is being used as an attack on Bible prophecy and actually the authority of the Bible itself.

The Japanese astronomers that claim they have discovered the oldest galaxy in our universe believe that this discovery has given them the deepest look into the dawn of history thus far by the scientific world. This galaxy is reported to be almost 13 billion light years away from earth at the edge of our universe. Remember, a light year is how far light can travel at 186,000 miles per second in one year and that is around 6 trillion miles which would then be multiplied by 13 billion, an astronomical number.

The use of the term, "Oldest galaxy" by the Japanese astronomers is an attack on the record of Creation found in Genesis 1:6 where it says that the Lord used the term, "and the stars also" to define the creation of stars and all of the galaxies that are in our universe and He did that in one instant. The Apostle Peter warns us that in the last days, the scientific world will attack the concept of biblical Creation because they are "willfully ignorant" of the truth, II Peter 3:5. Peter revealed the denial of the return of Jesus Christ would be present in these days as well because of the ignorant scientists and astronomers, II Peter 3:3-4.

II Peter 3:9 however, says the Lord is not slack concerning His promise to return to earth. He will come back.
