Pope Francis has announced that he is moving towards giving sainthood to the former Pope John Paul who in essence according to some was a false prophet preparing for the false church in the last days

Listen to Today's Program Play

The Vatican released a statement that the late Pope John Paul was being considered for sainthood. I spoke with broadcast partner Mike Gendron in Dallas, TX to find out the process for how the former Pope would qualify for sainthood and then I ask him was Pope John Paul qualified to be a saint.

Mike Gendron: The process to become a saint in Catholicism includes inquiries into the person's life, reputation, and activities and then a thorough examination of the person's written and spoken words. So, this should disqualify John Paul when you consider that he publicly declared that Allah was the one true god, he praised Mohammed as a true prophet, he declared that Jesus is not necessary for salvation when he said, "All who seek God with a sincere heart including those who do not know Christ will enter God's Kingdom".

He also embraced Evolution. Regarding his moral character, he ordered bishops and cardinals to conceal and protect priests who sexually molested boys and then he decreed that the victims should be subject to excommunication if they divulge the identity of the offending priest. This is a look at John Paul's life. If you look at that through the lens of Scripture, he would not be considered a saint but a false prophet who Catholics need to be warned about.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The process to naming the former Pope John Paul as a saint is actually the pathway for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

In Catholicism one becomes a saint by performing miracles. Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24 said that deception would be the greatest sign indicating that we are living in the last days and His Second Coming is soon to take place. Matthew 24:4, 5, 11, and 24 talks about the deception that would happen and in verse 24 the deception would be communicated through signs, wonders, and miracles. That is what we see happening in the location where we see the false church will be setup in Rome, Italy.

This report is helping us to understand that we are quickly approaching the time when Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled.

The US Congress is funding a hate mechanism called the Palestinian Authority

Listen to Today's Program Play

PMW Director Itamar Marcus in Washington, D.C. there to tell the US Congress they are funding hate and terrorism among the Palestinian people. Here is what Itamar had to tell me about that visit to Washington, D.C.

Itamar Marcus: We met with members of Congress and we were showing them what was happening with American funding of the Palestinian Authority. The US has good intentions. They are hoping to build infrastructures of the PA because they are hoping that it will then be able to create a peaceful state, but what we were documenting, and we were showing them that they are also paying for TV programs where you have little children on TV saying that Christians and Jews are inferior and despised and it calls for the Muslim world to literally counter the Jewish and Christian world to defeat the Jewish and Christian world and I am talking about children's programs.

The minister of prisoners of the PA visits every week with some of the families of prisoners who have killed dozens of Israelis and he honors those prisoners, he calls them heroes and who is paying his salary, the PA, who is paying them money for that, the US. The US with all of its good intentions is actively funding a hate mechanism called the PA, a terror promoting and glorifying mechanism called the PA and Congress is now being made aware of this and the question is what to do about it so it can really have an impact and change the PA.

Jimmy: Itamar Marcus, head of Palestinian Media Watch, they monitor the Palestinian electronic and print media and because of that responsibility it gave capability to address some members of the US Congress with the concerns that Israel has as the US Congress continues to fund the PA.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the US Congress continues to fund the PA, they are actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The radical Palestinian groups to day are  killing Jews and endeavoring to take their land. That scenario was foretold in Bible prophecy 2500 years ago. You could go to a number of passages in Scripture: Malachi 1, the little book of Obadiah, Jeremiah 49 and find out about this scenario, but speaking to the issue most distinctly is Ezekiel 35 which reveals that the Lord will judge the Palestinian people for killing Jews, verse 5 and in verse 10 for taking their land.

This is the present day scene in Israel and as the US Congress continues to fund hate and terrorism being perpetrated upon the Jewish people by the PA, the stage is being set for end time prophecy to be fulfilled.

An Israeli official says he does not believe there will be a Palestinian State

Listen to Today's Program Play

There is a cabinet member of the Israeli government, Minister Bennett, who says there is no Israeli occupation of a Palestinian State because there never was a Palestinian State. These comments made by the Israeli government minister may actually be giving us indication that the Netanyahu government is moving away from a second state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I ask our broadcast partner Winkie Medad who has a political background and a journalistic background if indeed he thought PM Netanyahu was moving away from a Palestinian State.

Winkie Medad: I think Mister Netanyahu ever since 2009 in  that famous Bar-llan University speech said that the resolution of the conflict would and should be based on two states, a Jewish  State and an Arab State West of the Jordan River. He did make some conditions that Israel would stand very firm on, demilitarized and no refugees inside of Israel just to give two examples, but ever since then to that extent of negotiations have not succeeded in drawing the PA representatives to the table. They do not recognize the Jewish national ethos. We do not have a right to have our own sovereign country. This is a ridiculous situation that people would believe that Israel and the Arabs at the present moment would be able to negotiate peace.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Israeli peace process may or may not bring about a Palestinian State, but Bible prophecy does speak of a second Jewish state and the stage is set for that prophecy to be fulfilled.

Only time will tell if there will be a Palestinian State. The Palestinians are working around the clock endeavoring to bring about a state for their people in a land where there has never been a Palestinian State.

Bible prophecy does tell us that there will be a second state in what is the modern day Jewish State of Israel. Ezekiel 37:15-23 informs us that in the future there will be a second Jewish State. One state will be called Israel, the other, Judah.

This ongoing battle for the Palestinians to establish a Palestinian State, a second state in the region, is only in reality setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The new Iranian president is a radical Islamist presenting himself as a moderate

Listen to Today's Program Play

The world media says that Hassan Rohani is a moderate. He is the new president of Iran and everyone is claiming, all the political leaders across the world and especially the world media, that he is indeed a moderate and they will be able to work with him in the future. However, Ken Timmerman, our broadcast partner in Washington, D.C. has done some investigation on this man and has a different story than what the world media is saying.

Ken Timmerman: Jimmy fool me once with a moderate in Iran and shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times because that is what we are reaching now and we are just out to lunch. We have no historical sense. I do not know what kind of briefings the CIA has been giving to the President and to Congress for them to welcome Rohani as some kind of reformer.

This is a man who was very, very close to Ayatollah Homenei during the revolution. He has been in the inner circle of the clerics from the very get go. This is a man who has also been deeply engaged in terrorism. He was on this inner committee that authorized the bombing of the Argentinian-Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in July 1994, 86 people were killed, he authorized the crackdown on a student rebellion in 1999. This guy is no moderate, he is a smiley face put on a brutal dictatorship.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective

Iran's President Hasan Rohani is only the mouthpiece for the true leaders of Iran which are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The new Iranian President Hasan Rohani is obedient to the Supreme Council. He was only able to be a candidate for president of Iran because Ayatollah Ali Khomenei, head of the Supreme Council of Iran, selected him to be one of the candidates. Indeed he is loyal to the Supreme Council, the true leadership in Iran.

Let me remind you that Bible prophecy reveals that Iran will have a key role in the end times. Ezekiel 38:5 refers to Persia and until 1936, Persian was the name of what we know as three different countries today: Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Iran will be a major player in the last days.

Iran's leadership, the president, and the Supreme Council are setting forth policies that are actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

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

Listen to Today's Program Play


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 end times philosophy of Replacement Theology is dangerous

Listen to Today's Program Play

In Jerusalem, a group of Orthodox Jewish scholars have gathered together and their conclusion as they look at the philosophy of Replacement Theology is that it is dangerous and it is anti-Semitic as well. I asked Christian Theologian Dr. John Whitcomb is Replacement Theology dangerous?

Dr. John Whitcomb: It is very, very dangerous, in fact you read in Psalm 83 someday all Israel's enemies surrounding them will say come let us wipe them out as a nation, let the name of Israel be remembered no more, let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God. Well friends, God knew about this thousands of years ago obviously what His plan was for Israel, but read in Ezekiel 37, He's going to bring those dry dead bones as I could never have believed as a soldier in WWII as I saw the results of the Holocaust and concentration camps, six million Jews dead in Europe. I never believed in 1945 I would live to see six million Jews back in their promised land. What a miracle! Not a supernatural miracle, but a providential miracle of God to prepare for the real miracle which is the conversion of the nation.

Jimmy: These Orthodox Jews say that the very existence of a Jewish state is actual evidence which disproves Replacement Theology.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Israel as a nation today disproves the anti-Semitic Replacement Theology that is a part of some church doctrine in our world today and is actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Replacement Theology is incorrect from a logical prospective, a Biblical prospective, and a prophetic prospective as well. Logically, the fact that there is a Jewish state in the Middle East today 65 years of age is indicative of the fact that God does have a plan for the Jewish people which would disprove Replacement Theology.

Biblically, Replacement Theology is disproved when you think about the covenants God gave the Jewish people. Prophetically, Ezekiel 37 says the Jews will be gathered from all over the world, come back into the land of their forefathers, and be a state once again. Ezekiel 38 talks about an Alignment of Nations that will try to destroy the Jewish people and Ezekiel 40-46 talks about a temple that will be on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. All of these are indicative of the fact that God does have a plan for the Jewish people.

Replacement Theology is an anti-Semitic, dangerous theology which is actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Pope Francis makes an announcement that there is a gay lobby in the Vatican

Listen to Today's Program Play

Pope Francis, the newly elected leader of the Catholic Church, has made an announcement that as he becomes head of the Catholic Church, he has come to the realization there is a gay lobby in the Vatican. With more on this story, we go to Dallas, Texas, Mike Gendron has more information for us.

Mike Gendron: Historically we know even back to the days of Martin Luther that there has been much sexual scandal and misconduct within the Vatican, so this is not new. It is surprising that the Pope would report on it. It is interesting that he has acknowledged this, in fact it is said that, and I quote what he said, "In the Curia there are holy people, but there are also a stream of corruption, there is that is well that is true a gay lobby".

He is seeking to reform the Roman Curia which is something I think most of the Cardinals asked him to do when he became Pope. He is going to run up against a little opposition because I believe this is a very strong lobby and I say that Jimmy because many people point to the gay lobby within the Vatican as one of the reasons why the preceding Pope, Pope Benedict had to step down. There is so much power within that lobby that the Vatican Curia was threatened with blackmail.

Jimmy: What is the Vatican Curia? You used that term. I am not sure what it is.

Mike Gendron: The Vatican Curia is the government within Vatican City and that is what actually runs the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church.

Jimmy: Could this be part of why there is such scandal not only there in the Vatican but across the entire Catholic world and the leadership, the priests across the world?

Mike Gendron: Well, Jimmy you touched on something very important and that is that the cataclysm of the Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuality outright, it merely teaches that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Sodomy in the Vatican is indeed setting the stage for Revelation 17 to be fulfilled.

The report from Mike Gendron that there is a gay lobby in the Vatican and that sodomy is prevalent among the priests in the Catholic Church is very alarming but at the same time it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. According to Revelation 17, there will be a false church located in Rome in the first half of the Tribulation Period. This revelation of sodomy throughout the Catholic Church is indeed a precursor to what the Bible calls for in the last days in that first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period.

The Bible prophecies of Revelation 17 are at the point of being fulfilled, but prior to that, the Rapture of the Church.

The Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan wants to lead the Islamic world

Listen to Today's Program Play

Jimmy: Demonstrations in Turkey have focused on a city park in the center of Istanbul, however that is not the real story nor the reason behind all of these demonstrations in Turkey. Tayyip Erdogan who is an Islamist, a radical, has a desire to lead the Islamic world. We know this because of his background when he was the mayor there in Istanbul. With the latest on this information, a Turkish journalist, Atilla Tuna gives us this report.

He was the mayor of Istanbul and he went to prison for six months while he was mayor because in one of his speeches he read a poetry from an Islamic poet, but the problem was not the poem it was the words in the poem. In his words he said, "The minarets are our weapons and the domes of the minarets, of the mosques, are our helmets", with those words he was trying to provoke people to riot against the regime, that was the reason why he was arrested. Later on he developed his own political party which is the present ruling party in Turkey, so that's how he started and he continues.

I've heard that Tayyip Erdogan has grandiose desires, he would like to be the pan-Islamic leader. Is that still the case?

Atilla: Yes, that is the case. He is a very influential leader in the Middle East among the Islamic party. For example, he is very influential among the Muslim brothers in the Egyptian government. He is a very good friend of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel. He has good relations with many Islamic extreme groups around the world.

Jimmy: Atilla Tuna with information about Tayyip Erdogan and his desire to be the pan-Islamic leader, the leader of the Islamic world and advance Islam all across the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The PM of Turkey has a desire to be the pan-Islamic leader of the entire world which is exactly what Bible prophecy said would happen.

Tayyip Erdogan has traveled throughout the entire Middle Eastern world developing relationships with Islamic leaders in the many nations of the Middle East. The Bible tells us in the book of Ezekiel 38:2, 6 that Turkey will be one of those major players in the end times as we see an Alignment of Nations going against the Jewish state of Israel. In Ezekiel 38:2 it talks about Meshech and Tubal, in verse 6, Gomer and Togarmah and they will be on the stage in the end times as they endeavor to try to destroy the Jewish state of Israel and setup a worldwide kingdom.

The stage is set for these prophecies to be fulfilled.

There is a new Iranian president, but let me remind you Iran's true leadership has an apocalyptic policy by which the government operates

Listen to Today's Program Play

Iran has elected a new president, Hasan Rowhani, who some say is somewhat of a moderate, however the true power in the government of Iran lies in the Supreme Council made up of the ayatollahs and Ayatollah Khomenei is the leader of the Iranian state, and I must tell you that the Supreme Council has an apocalyptic policy by which they govern the country of Iran. More on that background from Ken Timmerman our broadcast partner in Washington, D.C.

Shiite eschatology as practiced by the Iranian regime, which by the way is not the same as all Shiites, believes that they can trigger the return of Imam Mahdi, this mystical twelfth Imam who has been hiding at the bottom of a well since AD 941 and when he returns he will lead a victorious Muslim army to Jerusalem and conquer the world for Islam. Now, they believe through their actions they can hasten the return of the Imam Mahdi. Ahmadinejad has said that, so has Hamenei and so has many of the top clerics in the country. They way they do that Jimmy is by triggering mass destruction around the world, now that can be with a nuclear weapon, violence in various countries, revolutions or what have you. They believe their actions can actually bring this about.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Shiite Muslims have an eschatology based on what the Iranian leadership, the Supreme Council, have as their policy for leading the government of the nation of Iran. It is called an apocalyptic policy. What that calls for is a scenario that will bring forth the Mahdi, Arabic for messiah, and he will come about as the twelfth Imam out of the country and when he comes to power he will go to Jerusalem to setup a worldwide caliphate, Arabic for dominion or kingdom.

That is in contradiction to Biblical eschatology which says that Jesus Christ will come back and setup His Kingdom in the city of Jerusalem.

Iran's eschatology though wrong, is actually setting the stage for Biblical eschatology to be fulfilled. That stage is set, the actors in place, the curtain about to go up on the last drama.

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

Listen to Today's Program Play


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 face 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 Palestinians held a gathering recently in Ramallah for the coming Mahdi, the Muslim messiah, as he will come to establish a caliphate, a worldwide kingdom, in Jerusalem

Listen to Today's Program Play

Recently in Ramallah, just North of the city of Jerusalem in Israel, the Palestinians held a gathering as they await the coming of the Mahdi, the Muslim messiah. They want a caliphate, a worldwide kingdom, to be setup in Jerusalem. Itamar Marcus, head of Palestinian Media Watch, gives us a report on this gathering.

The important thing to know is that, that belief which is expressed at that rally in Ramallah North of Jerusalem that the Islamic world will subjugate the entire rest of the world under Islam seems to be very mainstream in the Palestinian world. We hear it regularly from the Hamas today, we've heard it in the past on television, we haven't heard it that much recently or at all recently, but I think that is because they know Palestinian Media Watch is listening to them and they've toned down some messages, but we've heard it.

We just know that people are expressing what they believe, what they've been taught. This group in Ramallah wants to have a Muslim caliphate, in other words all of the Muslim world united under one religious leader so they can then go out and conquer the Christian world, the Jewish world. It is probably the greatest challenge that the world, Christianity, Judaism, the Western world will face in the coming years in this Islamic ideology that was expressed in Ramallah. The biggest mistake the West can make is to minimize the threat, to minimize the danger and if we do, we might have a worse outcome.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The coming of the Muslim messiah is close according to Islamic leaders. That is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Islam has an eschatology. They believe there will be a kingdom, a worldwide caliphate, that will be headquartered in the city of Jerusalem, that is part of Islamic eschatology. However, God has promised the Jewish people this Kingdom to be headquartered in the city of Jerusalem, Daniel 7:13-14.

Jesus Christ will rule from that Kingdom headquartered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Zechariah 6:13. And He will rule for 1,000 years before we enter into eternity future, Revelation 20:4-6.

Preparations for a false kingdom that will be under the leadership of the Islamic world is simply setting the stage for the true Kingdom under Jesus Christ.

Al Qaeda is calling for Jihad, a holy war

Listen to Today's Program Play

Dr. Al Zawari who is the head of Al Qaeda is calling for a Middle Eastern Jihad, a holy war, and he wants the Islamic world to join him in this battle. Ken Timmerman covers geo-politcal activities for us and he is in Washington, DC with this report.

Ken Timmerman: It is actually a bit funny because Zawari is trying to divert attention from the failure of Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow Assad and at the same time in this statement he is throwing stones at the Iranians who in the past have been his biggest supporters. Zawari was the man who along with Imad for the Iranians who solidified the Al Qaeda-Iran connection back in the 1990's.

He has historically been the leader in Al Qaeda who has promoted a Sunni-Shia healing process, a unity between Sunnis and Shias and now in fact he is breaking off from that, he is accusing the Iranians of trouble making in Syria and he has essentially joined Yousef Kawadowi, the Palestinian preacher on Al Jazeera who called for a Jihad against Iran and Syria just last week. So, calling for holy war against Israel is just his way of patching up this increasing Sunni-Shia divide trying to divert attention from that and focus it on the Muslims traditional whipping boy.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A call for holy war in the Middle East by Al Qaeda is a precursor to the end time prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.

There will be a Jihad in the future, a holy war across the entire Middle East and it will focus on the Jewish state of Israel. Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, and Psalm 83 are the prophecies pertaining to this holy war. This will be an alignment of Islamic states to attack the Jewish state of Israel and only God will be able to save the Jewish people, Ezekiel 38:18-39:6.

As we look at the Middle East according to the report from Ken Timmerman on our broadcast today, we can understand where we are in God's time. All the actors are in place and any student of Bible prophecy can recognize that the curtain is about to go up for that final drama.

In the Middle East with this call for Jihad, a holy war, the stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Jewish state of Israel is making preparations as the war clouds gather

Listen to Today's Program Play

Syria at Israel's Northern border is making preparations to enter the Golan Heights which could break into an all out war in the Middle East. David Dolan, our journalist who covers the Middle East, has the latest information on this story.

David Dolan: Basically what you have is one of the world's ten most militarized countries on earth is Syria. Experts believe either the second or third, some say fourth but one of the top five chemical weapons programs on earth. They have more chemical weapons in Syria than China has or Russia has according to the experts so this is very significant. And they have massive missile capability, Soviet built SS-21 missiles, I have mentioned those before on your program, multiple warhead missiles that one rocket delivers six different warheads to six different locations.

They have hundreds of those. They have the latest scud missiles. They have anti-aircraft systems that are very sophisticated. We don't even know but they could even have nuclear capability. The regime was building a nuclear reactor as you'll recall Israel bombed that in 2007, September and destroyed it, North Koreans were involved. This is a major military power in Syria and these Sunni Muslim forces from not just Syria but from all over the region, Al Qaeda involved and other very unsavory elements involved in the opposition fight and the regime which is certainly no lover of Israel. It is a very serious situation and the Israelis are following it day by day taking reactions as they must.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Syria at Israel's Northern border is a threat to peace in the Middle East and does set the stage for a possible regional war to break out which is in alignment with Bible prophecy for the end times.

Daniel 11:40-43 tells us of nations that will gather as a part of a coalition to go against the Jewish state of Israel. In Daniel 11:40 it refers to the King of the North and early on in chapter 11, the King of the North is defined as the geographical location of Syria. This civil war that has been going on in Syria for the last couple of years is actually setting the stage for this prophecy to be fulfilled.

Remember Isaiah 17 says that Damascus will be destroyed at the same time Daniel 11 will be fulfilled as well. Bashar Assad said the other day, "Destroy Damascus and I will still win".

This brash statement by Bashar Assad is indeed setting the stage in the Middle East for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The last Jews in Ethiopia prepare for a trip to the promised land

Listen to Today's Program Play

The last 2000 Ethiopian Jews are preparing to immigrate to Israel which will mark the first and only time an entire country's Jewish population will leave their homeland and travel to the land of their forefathers, traveling to what they claim to be God-given land.

Operation Moses in 1985, when as many as 20000 Ethiopian Jews left for Israel, many of them by foot through Sudan saw the first immigration of these Jews of Ethiopia to the Jewish state of Israel.

In May of 1991, 15000 Ethiopian Jews were crowded into a series of non stop air flights over a 36 hour period of time into Israel in what was called Operation Solomon - most likely the greatest airlift in history.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As 2000 Ethiopian Jews prepare to travel to the Jewish state of Israel the last chapter for these Jews will be completed and will result in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the last days.

In 1985, 20000 Jews from Ethiopia made their way, many by foot to Israel and fulfilled their obligation as a Jew to return home to the land of their forefathers during what was called Operation Moses. In May of 1991 a special airlift called Operation Solomon brought 15000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Now, the last of the Ethiopian-Jewish community is preparing to travel to Israel as well.

The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel foretold of a time when the Lord would bring all Jews from the four corners of the earth back to the homeland, the land of the Jewish forefathers, Ezekiel 34. In fact, another Jewish prophet, Zephaniah wrote 2500 years ago that the Lord would bring the Ethiopian Jews back home as well, Zephaniah 3:10. The return of the Ethiopian Jews is only part of the entire Jewish world coming back to Israel and establishing a Jewish state which is foretold in Ezekiel 37:7-8. Out of 108 nations of the world over the last 100 years Jews have been coming home and the remaining Jewish worldwide community will do the very same thing in the near future.

Operation Moses in 1985, Operation Solomon in 1991, and this next and last immigration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel is indeed a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The former Prime Minister of Spain has quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying Israel will take care of Iran

Listen to Today's Program Play


Speaking at a recent gathering of politicos at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, the former PM of Spain Jose Aznar said that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him not to worry about Iran because as Putin said, "Israel will take care of Iran".

Putin made these statements after Aznar entreated the Russian president not to sell the S300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran which would allow Iran to set in place a defensive system that could deter an Israeli preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The former Spanish PM also held a meeting with the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who told Aznar that Israel was a historic cancer condemned to disappear and that it was inevitable that there would be an open confrontation between the Jewish state and Iran.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The statement by Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that it is inevitable, there will be a confrontation between Iran and Israel is biblically correct, but the endgame is different than the Iranian leader's claim of victory for his nation, that is according to Bible prophecy.

Two world leaders have voiced different opinions as how a confrontation between Israel and Iran militarily would come out. The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei believes in such a conflict, Iran would make Israel disappear and he was working to that end. Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that Israel would take care of the Iranian nuclear problem which Putin says justifies the sell of any nuclear technology or military hardware to Iran.

The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote of this Iranian-Israeli conflict 2500 years ago in Ezekiel 38:5 when he mentioned Iran of today referred to in that passage as Persia in biblical times. Iran will be a member of the coalition of nations who align themselves against Israel to destroy the Jewish state, Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, and Psalm 83. However, the endgame will be different than expected by Israel's  enemies.

Ezekiel 38:18-39:6 says that the Lord will intervene and wipe out not only Iran but all of Israel's enemies.

The reunification of the city of Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967 marked the beginning of the end for the Jewish people

Listen to Today's Program Play

On June 7, 1967, the time of Israel's Six Day War, the Israeli Paratroopers led by General Uzzi Marcus rushed the Lion Gate of the old city of Jerusalem, entered the city, and moved quickly onto the Temple Mount for the first time in almost 2000 years.

At that time, they reunited their capital city with the most sacred piece of real estate in all of Judaism, the Temple Mount. Since 1967, the Muslims have controlled this site that is holy for not only the Muslims, but the Jews and Christians as well and has made Jerusalem's Temple Mount the most controversial site in the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News


When the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was taken by the IDF during the Six Day War in 1967, history was made and it marked the beginning of the end for God's plan for the Jewish people, that is according to Bible prophecy.

After a 2000 year absence from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Six Day War in Israel prepared the way for the Jewish people to reclaim this most sacred piece of real estate in Judaism. IDF paratroopers broke through the Lion Gate into the old city of Jerusalem and then onto the Temple Mount and with great emotion they took the holy site which had such great historic significance for the Jewish people.

King David claimed the city of Jerusalem as the political and spiritual capital of the Jewish people as recorded in II Samuel 5-6 some 3000 years ago. Jesus spoke of Jerusalem being trodden down under the control of non-Jews for a 2000 year period, Luke 21:24. Zechariah, the ancient Jewish prophet, said that Jerusalem would be the center of controversy in the last days. God promised Israel's second king, King David, that one of his descendants would build a temple on the Temple Mount and rule and reign on that sacred spot forever, II Samuel 7 and Zechariah 6:12-13.

When the IDF captured the Temple Mount in 1967, it did indeed mark the beginning for the Jewish people on the Temple Mount.

A recent survey reveals that 70% of Israeli Jews believe they are God's chosen people

Listen to Today's Program Play

The latest survey of the beliefs and values among Israeli Jews, the first comprehensive study in more than a decade, reveals that 80% of Israeli Jews believe that God exists and some 70% of these Jews surveyed believed the Jews are the chosen people, a statement that can be found in the Bible.  The authors of this study believe the demographic changes in Israel caused by the higher birthrates among the orthodox and the ultra-orthodox Jews has resulted in the uptick of Jewish attachment to Biblical truth with a majority of all Israeli Jews believing in the coming Jewish Messiah.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A recent survey made among Israeli Jews reveals that Jews believe they are God's chosen people, a fact that the Bible stated more than 4000 years ago but a fact that means God does have a plan for the Jewish people in the future - that is according to Bible prophecy.

Over the last decade, Jews living in Israel have become much more religious, an interesting fact in light of God's plan for the Jewish people in the future.  A recent survey indicates that 70% of all Israeli Jews believe in God and 55% of those surveyed say they believe in the coming of their Messiah.  Fully 80% of Israeli Jews believe that God does indeed exist, the highest figure in more than two decades, a trend that will take place as the world moves into the prophetic events found in Bible prophecy.

The ancient Jewish prophecy Ezekiel prewrote history as he spoke of the regathering of the Jewish people from the four corners of the earth, the restoration of a Jewish state and a Jewish community in Israel that though in unbelief, there will be an increase in a desire to see their Messiah and to become the people of God, the chosen people (Ezekiel 37:7-11 and Ezekiel 34:11-30).  God does have a plan for the Jewish people and this plan is focused on the land of Israel, a land promised to the Jewish people by God Himself (Ezekiel 36, Deuteronomy 30).  The future for the Jews not only in Israel but around the entire world is in the hands of God and its found in the pages of His Word the Bible. 

With this increase of the knowledge of God's plan for the Jewish people, this plan will indeed come to pass.  Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

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

Listen to Today's Program Play

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.

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

Listen to Today's Program Play

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 leading rabbinical thinker says Europe is no longer a Christian continent

Listen to Today's Program Play


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.
