A group of scientists make a mockery of Biblical Creation

Listen to Today's Program

Recently, a group of Paleontologists toured the Creation Museum and said they were offended by the way in which Evolution, their life's work, was under attack, referring to the museum as a monument to scientific illiteracy.

The scientists said the Creation Museum, the work of Ken Ham and his organization Answers in Genesis, was like Sunday School with statues.

The visiting scientists said Creationism is a theory not supported by most mainstream Christian churches and it presents a literal interpretation of the Bible.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Scientists who say the Creation Museum is an offense to their life work as Evolutionists are actually confirming the Bible and setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

During a recent trip to the Creation Museum near Cincinnati, OH, a group of Paleontologists not only were offended by the literal interpretation of the Biblical Creation story, but mocked at the very thought that there is a God, an Intelligent Designer, Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.

These so-called scientists said that a literal of the Biblical account of Creation was an attack on their life's work in Evolution. The truth be known, that is correct. The Bible does attack the Theory of Evolution and reveals that it is a religion, a philosophy that can only be accepted by faith.

True science is personal observation of an event and the ability to reproduce the event which is not the case in the origins of man. It is a fact that Creation must be accepted by faith, belief in the Biblical account from the only One who did actually observe Creation and can replicate it, and that would be God.

II Peter 3:5 says these pseudo scientists would indeed be willfully ignorant of God's work in Creation and more so as we approach the time of the Lord's return, II Peter 3:4.

The Theory of Evolution and those who propagate it are indeed setting the stage for Jesus to return and for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Iraqi government wants to turn the Biblical site of Babylon into a major tourist attraction

Listen to Today's Program

With the rapidly improving security conditions in Iraq, the surrounding Babel province has persuaded the US State Department and the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage to embark on a preservation project with plans to make the ancient city of Babylon a major tourist attraction.

This war torn nation sees an opportunity to restore this Biblical city to a stage that could attract visitors from all over the world to the site of such great historic figures as Nebuchadnezzar and Alexander the Great.

The US and Iraq will work together on this project that they believe can become at least what it was before Saddam Hussein if they are not able to bring it to where it was when the ancient city of Babylon ruled the world.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As the US and Iraq work together to restore the ancient Biblical city of Babylon as a tourist attraction for war torn Iraq, the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For many years, I have reported the restoration of the Biblical site of Babylon under the leadership of the late Saddam Hussein. There are reports that Saddam spent 500 million dollars to restore Babylon not necessarily as a tourist site, but because Saddam believed he was a reincarnation of King Nebuchadnezzar who ruled the world from Babylon 2,500 years ago.

This Babylon project is in reality setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. A number of ancient Jewish prophets wrote centuries ago that Babylon would once again come to power before it was totally and completely destroyed, which has never happened.

Revelation 18 calls for the literal city of Babylon to be the economic center of the world and to be ruled over by the Antichrist for the last three and a half years of the seven year Tribulation Period. Isaiah in his prophecy, chapters 13-14, Jeremiah in chapters 50-51 and John the Apostle, in Revelation 16:17-20 all call for the total and complete destruction of Babylon.

The move to make Babylon a tourist attraction is indeed Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The announcement by an Ethiopian religious leader that he had the holy Ark of the Covenant has been proven to be false

Listen to Today's Program

Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts recently were buzzing with the possibility that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant would be put on display in Rome, Italy. Now, they realized that the leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church patriarch Abuna Pauolos could not produce the Ark which he claims to have seen.

The Ethiopian patriarch had been in Rome to meet with the Pope and he told the Pope that the Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia and has been there for many centuries and that he had actually seen the Ark which he described to be in very good condition.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Claims by an Ethiopian religious leader or anyone else that the Ark of the Covenant has been in Ethiopia contradicts the Word of God and sets the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For a number of years, Ark hunters have been searching for the most important piece of furniture that was a part of the temple worship in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. The search was motivated by tradition that the third King of Israel, King Solomon, had given the Ark to the Queen of Sheba and she had taken it to Ethiopia, a tradition that Jewish scholars say has no basis of truth. Some Ark hunters do believe the Ark to be in Ethiopia and there are those who even say Israeli commandos raided the Ethiopian church where the Ark was supposedly housed and returned the holy relic to Jerusalem.

According to the Bible, all of these accounts of the Ark being in Ethiopia are totally false. I Kings 8 reveals that King Solomon placed the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple that he built 3000 years ago. 400 years later, II Chronicles 35:3 reveals that King Josiah had the Levites place the Ark in a secret secluded hiding place underneath the temple in the 620's BC. During the Babylonian Captivity which took place from 605 BC through 539 BC, the Ark was still in that hiding place in Jerusalem according to Ezekiel 9:3 where it says that the glory of the Lord lifted off of the Ark of the Covenant to go back to the heavens.

Religious Jewish experts claim that the Ark of the Covenant is under the Temple Mount - underneath the Dome of the Rock - and will be brought out when the next temple stands in Jerusalem - according to Bible prophecy that may be fulfilled in the very near future.

A new Jewish interfaith organization says that the Jewish temple can be built on Jerusalem's Temple Mount without the destruction of the Islamic Dome

Listen to Today's Program

Recently, a new Jewish interfaith group launched a project to diffuse religious strife by showing that the end of times vision of the Jewish people, a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, could be fulfilled without destroying the Islamic Dome of the Rock. Yoav Frankel, director of the initiative, believes that the Jewish temple can be built alongside the Dome of the Rock and this would transform the Temple Mount from a place of contention to a place of worship shared by Jews, Moslems, and Christians. 

Islamic cleric Sheik Abdulla Darwish says that as long as there is one Moslem alive, there will be no Jewish temple and the Jewish activist Baruch Ben-Yosef, made it clear that the Temple must be built where the Dome of the Rock now stands.  

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The continuing debate between Moslems and Jews about what has the right to occupy the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock or a Jewish Temple, is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. 

3000 years ago the Jewish King Solomon built the first Jewish temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A secong Jewish temple was also erected there after the Babylonian captivity and Jews returned to Jerusalem some 2500 years ago. 

The destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple by the Romans in 70AD left the Temple Mount empty of a Jewish worship center. The Moslems, in 691AD, built the Dome of the Rock on the site where the two Jewish temples had once stood. For the last 200o years, Jews have prayed daily for the temple to be rebuilt on the exact spot where the first two temples stood and where the Islamic building now stands. A growing number of religious Jews are preparing to erect the third temple on the Temple Mount and they believe that the Dome of the Rock must come down. 

Many ancient Jewish prophets wrote of the temple being rebuilt in the last days - Daniel, (Daniel 9:27) Ezekiel, (Ezekiel 40-46) Zechariah, (Zechariah 1:16,6:12-13) and even the Apostle John (Revelation 11:1-2). 

Any suggestion of building the Jewish temple alongside the Islamic Dome of the Rock contradicts prophecy. 

Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Twitter is becoming a major player in geopolitical events in our world

Listen to Today's Program

Twitter, the short messaging website, has moved onto the world stage as a major player in geopolitical events and is being used as a means to spread late breaking news to the world as well as becoming a diplomatic tool and a source for gathering intelligence information.

In the recent riots in Teheran, demonstrators used Twitter when the world media was barred from making reports from the scene. Israeli diplomats say that Twitter has revolutionized Israeli diplomacy; however, Israeli intel agents fear that Twitter or Facebook may be used by enemies of the Jewish state to extract information from unsuspecting military personnel and pass it along to Israel's enemies.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Twitter, Facebook and any other short messaging websites are today becoming major players in geopolitical events, but will also be significant in future events according to Bible prophecy.

During the mass demonstrations protesting the Iranian elections, Twitter became the major source of news coming out of Iran. In fact, Twitter is also an important tool in diplomacy as Israeli diplomats have learned. It is a tool that can help change world opinion and do that in a hurry.

The speed of communications will play a key role in the End Times according to Bible prophecy. Revelation 18 explains the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, that seven year time of intense judgment on the earth and earth dwellers. The passage explains that the international headquarters for a one world leader, the Antichrist, will be in Iraq, Biblical Babylon and they will need instant communications to control the buying and selling of everything. Revelation 13:15-16 reveals that during this time, everyone on earth will have an identification mark in order to buy or sell. Though Christians will not have to worry about this time, those remaining on earth after the Rapture, when Christians leave this world, will be faced with this scenario.

Indeed Twitter and Facebook are preparing the world for this prophetic scenario to be played out.

The Palestinian Authority has warned Palestinians that they will face a death penalty for selling land to Jews

Listen to Today's Program

The Palestinian Authority has issued a warning to Palestinians against selling their homes or their properties to Jewish people saying that those who violate the order would be accused of high treason, a charge that carries the death penalty. The chief Islamic judge of the Palestinian Authority, Sheik Rajab Tamimi, said that the existing fatwa, a religious decree, bans Muslims from selling property to Jews which according to Islamic teaching is a grave sin and, if ignored, the death penalty would be applied. The sheik said that the ban was necessary to counter the Jewish efforts to change the Arab and Islamic culture of Jerusalem to make it a Jewish city instead of a religious, political, and spiritual capital of the Palestinian people.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even though the Palestinian Authority gives the death penalty to a Palestinian who sells land to Jews, the fulfillment of end time Bible prophecy will not be stopped.

The Palestinian Authority has, for years, implemented the death penalty on Palestinians that have sold land or even been involved in an arrangement to sell land to the Jewish people. One of the Muslim judges involved with the Palestinian Authority has issued another warning and a reminder to the Palestinian people that Islamic law forbids the sale of property to Jews by Muslim people.

This report brings to mind several issues that have a connection to end time Bible prophecy. The Palestinian Authority, the governing body of the Palestinian people, has no authority to issue a death penalty but past experience show they can back up their warning and a number of Palestinians have been executed for selling property to Jews - evidence that the Palestinians, Edomites of history, all descendents of Esau, hate Jews (Genesis 27:40-41).

As it relates to the land that might be bought or sold - the land is God's land (Leviticus 25:23) and He has promised it to the Jewish people and those promises are contained within the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 15:18), the Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-9), and the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:17).

In the future, land owned by the Palestinians will not be sold to the Jews but instead given to them by God. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israel is losing the war of world opinion - even among Christians

Listen to Today's Program

The war that Israel keeps losing is the war of world opinion, the war for individual hearts and minds, and a war that is also being lost among normally staunch supporters of Israel - the evangelical Christian community. There is a movement among the Christian community that is eroding support for Israel led by men like Brian McLaren, author of the book, "A New Kind of Christian", Stephen Sizer, a pastor who has gained popularity by condemning Christian Zionism, and Former President Jimmy Carter, who accuses Israel of committing a holocaust against the Palestinians. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The war that the Jewish state of Israel keeps losing even among Christians, the war for world opinion, the loss of this war will set the stage for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy for the end times.

For the last 60+ years, the Jewish state of Israel has been at war - not necessarily on the battlefield, but the war for the hearts and minds of the world as mankind looks at Israel and its efforts to sustain life in a very tough neighborhood. Israeli leaders have said that they do not consult world opinion before making moves to protect the people of the Jewish state. Now, however, there is a move among Israeli leaders to rethink their lack of public relations especially to their most avid supporters, the Christian community. 

In the last several years, there have appeared Christian leaders who are very much opposed to Christian support for Israel and even the Jewish people - men like Brian McLaren, Stephen Sizer, and and even former President Jimmy Carter. These men and others like them do not see God's plan for the Jewish people in the future as found in Bible prophecy. That would mean that God must default on His promises to the Jewish people as found in the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12 and 15) to give the Jewish people a nation and a land, a land in fact 10 times what they have today. They also reject the Davidic Covenant (II Samuel 7) and the promise of a temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem where Jesus Christ will sit on a throne as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

With or without Christian support for Israel, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Sharia law is making great strides in the Middle East, into the West and around the world

Listen to Today's Program

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

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

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

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

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

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

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

Global military spending has hit a new record high

Listen to Today's Program

A Stockholm based peace institute is reporting that global military spending has set a new record high up by 45% since 1999 and in contrast to civilian aerospace and airlines, the defense industry remains healthy.

The global financial crisis has yet to have an impact on major arms companies with the 100 leading defense manufacturers selling arms worth 347 billion dollars during 2007, the most recent year for which reliable data was available.

The US remains the biggest spender though China and Russia have reduced the gap with both China and Russia tripling their military spending budgets and Russia is maintaining plans for further increases despite severe economic problems.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

With global military spending setting new record highs in today's economy, there is evidence that Bible prophecy is closer to fulfillment than ever before.

Military information reveals there are over 150 conflicts and wars around the world today and this ever increasing number is what has caused global military spending to set new record highs in our world. Throughout the continent of Africa, there are numerous armed conflicts intensifying. In the Middle East, we hear daily reports of new conflicts or an intensification of the wars now in progress. The US, China and Russia lead the way in military spending and these big three seem to be right in the middle of almost every war.

This report is evidence that Jesus was correct when He said in His Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, that before He came back to the earth, there would be wars and rumors of wars, nations against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms, Matthew 24:6-7. Many Jewish prophets wrote of this same scenario for the Last Days that would include Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, Joel, Obadiah and Malachi just to name a few. These ancient Jewish prophets echoed the words of Jesus Christ, in the Last Days, wars will be spreading around the world.

This record high in global military spending is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

SPECIAL EDITION ELECTION REPORT: Prime Minister Netanyahu wins the Israeli elections from way down in the polls and now must form an Israeli government.

Listen to Today's Program

The results are in and Prime Minister Netanyahu has won the national elections in Israel and will move to an unprecedented fourth term as Prime Minister. These elections make Netanyahu the longest serving Prime Minister in Israel's history. I say Netanyahu won the elections, but in fact, the Prime Minister's Likud party won more seats than any of the other twenty-five political parties that were running in the Knesset elections. The Knesset is Israel's legislative body. The party with the most Knesset seats will have the first chance to form a coalition government. The Likud party, Netanyahu's political party, received 30 Knesset seats, the largest of all the parties of the national campaign, and must now form a coalition government with a simple majority of 61 seats in the Knesset. Netanyahu will then become the Prime Minister of Israel. Many political pundits were amazed at how Netanyahu came from five seats down, to five seats up and won the national elections in Israel going away.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

If you have a moment, I would love to give you a prophetic perspective on this special election report.  At the Western Wall, where Prime Minister Netanyahu went after his comeback victory in the Israeli elections, the Prime Minister said at this sacred spot that he was awed by the historic significance of a people renewing itself in it's homeland after some 4,000 years. He also said that he was moved by the weight of responsibility that the people of Israel have placed on his shoulders. This statement from a victorious and thankful Prime Minister has a prophetic significance as well as a political component. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote some 2500 years ago that The Lord would regather the Jewish People from the four corners of the Earth, scattered to these four corners some 2000 years ago, and he would bring them back into the land of their forefathers (Ezekiel 37:7).

The bones coming together, then Ezekiel pre-wrote history, when in Ezekiel 37:8, he said "I will put flesh on these bones that have been connected and I will restore the Jewish people to a nation among the nations of the world. These two aspects of a three part prophecy have been fulfilled and the national elections in Israel would have to be tangible evidence of Bible prophecy being fulfilled. Now thats a basis upon which we can rest assured that "yet to be" Bible prophecy will be fulfilled for the Jewish people as well.

Palestinian officials say they finally have a friend in the White House who can force Israel to make major concessions

Listen to Today's Program

With the tough rhetoric coming from the Obama White House towards Israel, PA President Mahmoud Abbas and other Palestinian officials believe they have a friend in the White House who can force Israel to withdraw to the 1967 borders including the city of Jerusalem and dismantle all the Jewish settlements, a plan Israelis believe would put the Jewish state in harms way.

The Palestinians are following with deep satisfaction, news about the deepening crisis between the government of Netanyahu and the Obama Administration, even believing Obama may push Netanyahu out of office.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The Obama administration's pressure on the Israeli government to stop construction in the Jewish settlements and to dismantle them to the satisfaction of the Palestinians is a precursor to the End Times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.

The statement that the Palestinian people finally have a friend in the White House has made the Palestinians very optimistic about the plans for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The Obama administration is continuing to apply pressure on the Israeli government to stop all construction on the Jewish settlements and to prepare for dismantling the settlements to be replaced by a Palestinian state. This Palestinian state would take all the land Israel acquired in the Six Day War and make it their Palestinian state.

Should President Obama and the Palestinians be successful, a Palestinian state would be in the heart of the Jewish state, a state with borders the Lord told the prophet Malachi would be borders of wickedness, Malachi 1. Even as the Palestinians would build their state, the words of the prophet Ezekiel would come to pass that God would punish the Palestinians for taking land God had given to the Jewish people, Ezekiel 35. Another Jewish prophet, Obadiah, tells us that God will not allow the Palestinians to win in this conflict, but instead the Palestinians, the Edomites of biblical times, will be a people that have never been.

President Obama's actions are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Jewish rabbis gathered in the Jewish settlements to reject President Obama's plan for Israel

Listen to Today's Program

Religious leaders in Israel gathered in Judea and Samaria, often referred to as the West Bank, to reject the demand by the Obama Administration to stop all building in Jewish settlements and, in fact, the demand to evacuate these Jewish communities and they urged Israeli Defense Force soldiers to refuse to follow evacuation orders given by the Israeli government. The rabbis called on the Israeli government to call off any removal of Jewish families and their homes from the area of Judea and Samaria because it is a violation of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible and that each soldier must accept the words of God rather than the anti-semitic order to uproot Jews from the land of Israel. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The demand by the Obama Administration to stop building in Judea and Samaria and to evacuate this God-given land, will lead to a second Jewish state in Israel according to Bible prophecy. 

The Obama Administration seems to believe that the Jewish settlements are an impediment to a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Obama and his foreign affairs team have made it clear that their must be no building in the Jewish settlements and that they want these settlements evacuated. 

The end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy reveals that the Jews would return to the land of their forefathers in fulfullment of the promise that God made to the Jewish people referring to this land (Ezekiel 36:8-12 and 37:7-10). However, these same passages of prophecy speak of a second Jewish state in this land in the last days (Ezekiel 37:15-23). One of these Jewish states will be called Israel - the other will be called Judah. The state called Israel is in place right now and the continuing efforts to force Jews off of this God-given land in Judea and Samaria, will eventually force the Jews to form a second Jewish state which, in fact, is now under discussion and in the planning stages. 

Rest assured, Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Islamic leader claims that Israeli PM Netanyahu is preparing to rebuild the Jewish Temple

Listen to Today's Program

At a conference held in Doha Qatar, an Islamic cleric told the attendees that the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu may try to build the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and he said that when the Jews build the Temple, they will do so upon the destruction of the al Aqsa Mosque, a site sacred to Moslems.

Sheikh Salah said the solution to the Jewish threat against Jerusalem is a complete mobilization of the Arab world including the religious leaders who need to act and recruit the Moslem masses to confront their duty towards the problem in Jerusalem and al Aqsa Mosque.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The claim by a Moslem cleric that Israeli PM Netanyahu will try to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem has an interesting connection to what Bible prophecy says about that coming Temple.

My experience with the Israeli government is that they steer clear from any action or statements that refer to the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israeli political leaders recognize this issue as very controversial and that it could lead to a major conflict. Israeli religious leaders, however, recognize that the Bible does speak of the previous Jewish Temples and a coming Temple to be built in Jerusalem.

Three thousand years ago, King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, II Chronicles 3. That Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians, was rebuilt by Jews returning from the Babylonian cativity under the leadership of Zerubbabel, Ezra 1-6. The Temple in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus, Herod's Temple, was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Bible prophecy reveals there will be another Temple in Jerusalem, in fact, two more temples. Jesus, when He returns, will build His Temple, Zechariah 6:12. But, before that time, during the Tribulation Period, there will be a Temple built in Jerusalem, Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1.

Preparations for this next Temple are ready.

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

Listen to Today's Program

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

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

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

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

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

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

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

Automated killer robots could unleash a robot arms race that will be a threat to humanity

Listen to Today's Program

According to university professor Noel Sharke, the keynote speaker at Great Britain's Royal United Services Institute, the autonomous gun-toting robots developed for warfare could easily fall into the hands of terrorists, and could unleash a robot arms race that will pose a threat to humanity.

Intelligent machines deployed on battle fields around the world, from mobile grenade launchers to rocket firing drones, can already identify and lock onto targets without human help. There are thousands of military robots on the ground in Iraq as well as unmanned aircraft and military leaders are calling for autonomous robots as soon as possible.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An autonomous gun-toting robot in the hands of a terrorist in our world today could well be one aspect of the End Times scenario that is found in Bible prophecy.

The warning from a top expert on Artificial Intelligence that an autonomous gun toting robot in the hands of a terrorist could bring about a robot arms race that will be a threat to humanity, has not deterred military leaders around the world to back away from their need of for these robots that would allow for a risk free war.

Several countries led by the US, have already invested heavily in robot warriors developed for use on the battlefield. South Korea and Israel both deploy armed robot border guards while China, India, Russia, and Great Britain have all increased the use of military robots. These autonomous, gun-toting robots may well be the robot warriors that will fulfill many aspects of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse said that one indication of His soon return would be war and rumors of war, Matthew 24:6. John the Apostle and author of the book of Revelation said that the second judgment to be released on humankind during the Tribulation Period would be war and death, Revelation 6:3-4. John also wrote that one-fourth of the Earth's population will be killed, many of them by wars in the future, Revelation 6:7-8.

Autonomous, gun-toting robots may well set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used passages from the Bible on White House intelligence briefings

Listen to Today's Program

It has been reported that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld routinely used militaristic passages from the Bible on the cover pages of White House intelligence documents to curry favor with President George W. Bush despite the concerns about the incendiary impact on Islamic opinion if they were made public.

These passages of Scripture appeared on the front page of top secret intelligence summaries prepared by the Pentagon for President Bush and the briefing documents were so sensitive that they were often hand delivered by Rumsfeld to the White House.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The use of Biblical passages on the covers of intelligence reports for the White House would have been proper if they had used the appropriate passages from Bible prophecy.

The recent report that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld used biblical passages as the cover page to White House intelligence briefing documents could have caused a massive uproar among the Islamic world if it had been revealed during the war in Iraq under President Bush.

One example of what we are talking about would be the passage from I Peter stating, "It is God's will that by doing good, you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men", this passage was included with a photo of Saddam Hussein delivering a speech. Another image showing tanks roaring through the dessert to topple Saddam's regime had a passage from Ephesians which stated that we should put on the whole armor of God to stand against evil.

From the pages of Bible prophecy, there are indeed passages that relate to the destruction of modern day Iraq, biblical Babylon. These passages include Isaiah 13-14 and Jeremiah 50-51. In Revelation 18 it says that Babylon, modern day Iraq, will be destroyed in one hour, Revelation 18:10, 17, 19. Interestingly, Revelation 17:17 says God will put into the hearts of world leaders to take actions that will accomplish His will.

All of the aforementioned prophecy passages will have fulfillment in the coming seven year Tribulation period, but rest assured Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

The US President told the Israeli PM to stop building in the land God gave the Jewish people

Listen to Today's Program

In the recent meeting at the White House in Washington, US President Barack Obama and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu met to discuss the way forward in the region as they talked about two volatile in the Middle East: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the threat of Iran with a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction.

The US president said that for the time being, he wants Israel to restrain from launching a preemptive attack on Iran and President Obama told PM Netanyahu that Israel must stop building in the biblical areas of Judea and Samaria in the Jewish state of Israel and prepare to give up this land to a Palestinian state.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The fact that a US president would tell Israel they cannot build on the land God gave them and they must prepare to give this land up for a Palestinian state is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

In the first official meeting between the leaders of the US and Israel, the line was drawn in the sand by US President Obama when he told Israeli PM Netanyahu that the Jewish state must stop all building and in fact any type of expansion of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. In addition to that, he made known that he wants Israel to evacuate these areas he calls occupied territories.

Leviticus 25:23 says the land is God's land and He will give it to whom He pleases. Deuteronomy 30 says God made a covenant with the Jewish people and He cannot break it and must give them this land. Ezekiel 36 says the land in question is the land of the forefathers of the Jewish people and in particular Judea and Samaria where the Jewish settlements are located today. Ezekiel 35:10-14 reveals that the Palestinians will try to take this land from the Jewish people in the Last Days.

President Obama's statements and actions as it relates to the Jewish state of Israel and the land of the Jewish people is indeed a page out of Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

An Islamic leader in Israel denies the Jewish temples ever existed in Jerusalem

The al Aqsa Mosque, known as the Temple Mount to the Jewish people, was never the site of a Jewish Temple according to the head of the Islamic movement, Sheikh Raad Salah who said that the claims of the Jews are a big lie and they have no right to even one speck of dirt on the location.

The sheikh said he believes that Moslems are at a critical time in history, that alAqsa is in danger and Jerusalem is in danger and the Moslem world must save al Aqsa, free Jerusalem and end the Israeli occupation. Sheikh Salah believes that Jerusalem is not only houses, it is faith, it is history, it is a present, a future, an eternal right that the Moslems will not relinquish.

An Islamic leader that says there was never a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and then says that piece of real estate actually belongs to the Moslems is playing a role that was foretold in Bible prophecy.

It sounds like an echo chamber here in Jerusalem as one Islamic leader after another makes the statement that there was never a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount, a fact disputed by both Biblical and secular history. Islamic leaders claim that there is no archaeological evidence of a previous Jewish presence on the Temple Mount. With total disregard for Biblical history, these Islamic leaders make claims that can be easily disproved.

The Bible reveals that King Solomon built the first Jewish Temple on Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, almost 3,000 years ago, II Chronicles 3:1. There is the Biblical account of the building and the dedicatory service of the second Jewish Temple built in Jerusalem around 2,500 years ago, Ezra 6. Jesus told the ancient prophet Zechariah that He would return to Jerusalem to build His Temple on the Temple Mount, Zechariah 1:16 and Zechariah 6:12. However before that, conflict and controversy would surround the Temple Mount, Zechariah 12:2.

An Islamic leader claiming that there has never been a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A Washington insider says that an Iran with nuclear capability would transform the power balance in the Middle East and set the region for nuclear war

Listen to Today's Program

Anthony Cortisman, a former director of intelligence assessment for the Secretary of Defense, who is now a top strategic guru at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says that if Iran achieves it's goal of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction the entire power-balance of the Middle East will be changed and it will set the stage for a nuclear war in the region.

Cortisman says that theoretically it is possible that the Israeli State, economy and organized society would survive such an almost mortal blow; however, Iran would not survive in the normal sense of the term.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The possibility of a nuclear war in the Middle East, should Iran acquire a nuclear weapon of mass destruction, is very viable says one strategic planner; however, Bible prophecy has additional information about this possible scenario for the Middle East as well.

Anthony Cortisman the strategic guru in Washington says that a nuclear confrontation between Iran and Israel would kill millions of Iranians and leave Israel crippled, but the Jewish State would survive.

This scenario that at this point in time is possible, if all intelligence from the region is correct, is only in the mind's of the analyst. But from the pages of Bible prophecy this potential war, nuclear or not, will take place according to the ancient Jewish prophets.

Ezekiel mentioned Iran specifically as a nation that will form a coalition with other nations to attack Israel and endeavor to destroy the Jewish State, that's in Ezekiel 38:5 where Iran is referred to as Persia.

Bible prophecy does not mention that nuclear weapons will be used but the prophets do say that the total destruction of the Jewish State is on the agenda of the alignment of nations against Israel in the last days, as found also in the prophetic books of Daniel, Joel and Micah.

The assessment that there could be a nuclear war in the Middle East and soon is close to what Bible prophecy calls for in the last days. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A landmark archaeological discovery found in the British museum gives proof of Old Testament truth

Listen to Today's Program

An expert on ancient Babylon, Dr. Michael Jersey of Vienna, has discovered a small clay tablet located in the British museum that is a landmark archaeological discovery and provides proof of the Old Testament's veracity.

Though the tablet was unearthed near Baghdad in 1920, only recently has it been deciphered by Dr. Jersey which led to the discovery of the records of a donation of gold by the chief eunuch of King Nebuchadnezzar. Dr. Jersey quickly consulted Jeremiah 39 where he found the man's name listed as one of Nebuchadnezzar's top ministers who actually took part in the destruction of the first Temple in Jerusalem 2,500 years ago.

An ancient Babylonian tablet found in the British museum is evidence that the nation of Iraq will be destroyed forever according to Bible prophecy.

A recent discovery in the British museum by an expert on ancient Babylon gives a direct link to the Bible and the Babylonian history under King Nebuchadnezzar. The Babylonian tablet gives the name of one of Nebuchadnezzar's top ministers which is the same name of Nebuchadnezzar's men found in Jeremiah 39. This Old Testament passage used by the archaeologist is the account of King Nebuchadnezzar's siege of the city of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in 586 BC.

It was that destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem 2,500 years ago that God said would be the reason He would destroy the Babylonians, the modern-day Iraqis, forever, Jeremiah 50:28, 51:11. However, before the Babylonians and the literal city of Babylon are destroyed, this nation and the city of Babylon will become the headquarters for the one-world, economic, political, governmental system led by Antichrist, Revelation 18.

Of course, that war-torn nation must be rebuilt and become the power center of the world before the destruction as recorded in Revelation 16:17-21.

Scientists are preparing a robotic submarine to dive to the deepest part of the ocean

Listen to Today's Program

A robotic submarine is undergoing final preparations to dive to the deepest known part of the ocean which is called the Challenger Deep some 3600 feet deep in the Pacific Ocean near the island of Guam. The Challenger Deep is the deepest abyss on Earth. In fact, it is deeper than Mount Everest is high, and at that depth, pressure reached 1100 times the pressure on the surface which makes the engineering and building of such a vehicle a huge challenge. 

The mission is more than just proving new technology. Scientists believe that this new robotic submarine will allow them to see all kinds of new life forms in novel habitats and they are expecting the unexpected. 

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The robotic submarine that will take scientists to the deepest part of the ocean may not find what God has put there as it relates to the future - according to Bible prophecy.

British scientists are preparing a robotic submarine to be used in a dive to the deepest part of the ocean which they hope will reveal new scientific discoveries. The Challenger Deep in the west Pacific near the island of Guam is the site to be explored and these marine biologists can only anticipate the new discoveries they may find in this endeavor. 

As I am reporting this anticipated scientific event, my mind goes back to the passage of scripture that is found in the Old Testament - a prophetic passage in the last chapter of Micah. The ancient Jewish prophet in the context is acknowledging the sins of his people, the Jewish people (Micah 7:9). The prophet also warns the enemies of the Jewish people in the last days that when the Lord is finished chastising His people, then God will take care of the enemies of the Jewish people (Micah 7:10). In this same context, God tells the prophet that He will take the sins of the Jews and cast them into the depths of the deepest sea (Micah 7:19). It is in this context that Micah reveals the time of this prophecy to be when the Jewish people have cattle grazing on the Golan Heights - that is Bashan in verse 14. And I have to report, that is happening today. 

The robotic submarine dive into the deepest part of the ocean does indeed attract our attention to the fact that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

An Israeli official tells US Vice President Joe Biden to have some respect for the land of the Bible

Listen to Today's Program

In a speech to a convention in Washington, DC, the US Vice President Joe Biden said Israel must stop building in Judea and Samaria and in fact should dismantle existing outposts in the West Bank allowing for freedom of movement for the Palestinian people.

These remarks from Vice President Biden drew a response from a member of the Israeli Knesset, Ketzaleh Katz, that the vice president should be a bit more careful when giving instructions to a sovereign democratic state and should have more respect for the Bible, the people of the Bible and the land of the Bible.

Katz said Mr. Biden's nation is barely 230 years old and Israel is a land where Jews have lived for thousands of years building their holy temples and holy places in the very areas that the vice president says Israel should freeze, locations like Shiloh, Beth-el and the Temple Mount in the old city of Jerusalem.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An exhortation from an Israeli official to the US Vice President about having more respect for the land of the Bible has very interesting connections to Bible prophecy.

US Vice President Joe Biden did not mix his words with uncertainty as he addressed the pro-Israeli Convention in Washington, DC recently and when he said Israel must stop bulding on the land most Israeli Jews believe God gave to them. These statements by the US vice president evoked a response from a member of the Israeli Knesset that the vice president must have more respect for the Bible, the people of the Bible and the land of the Bible.

In the Bible, Leviticus 25:23, God says the land is His land and He has chosen the Jewish people to be caretakers of the land. The ancient Jewish prophet, Ezekiel revealed in Ezekiel 36:22 that God gave the Jewish people this land for His holy namesake, when He could sware by nothing greater, He promised the Jews this land in His name. Enemies of the Jews in the Last Days will endeavor to try to take this land from the Jewish people, Ezekiel 35:10-12.

Vice President Biden's statement does indeed move us closer to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
