After 24 years of effort there is no resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; however, there is an answer why

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Why is it that there’s nothing that’s happened over these 24 years? Is it the fault of Israel or does Abbas have some responsibility in that area as well?

IM: When we wrote our book it ended with the following sentence, a peace process has yet to begin; a peace process may never have been intended. The name of the book was Deception and it describes Palestinian Authority activity, statements, and messaging to their people. And that was our conclusion; it may have never been intended because if you want a peace process you don’t teach your children hatred on us on a regular bases.

Every single thing the Palestinian Authority already has done with their people with their children tells us that this entire peace process from the first day has been a fraud by the Palestinian Authority. We named our book Deception because that’s exactly what it is deception. The Palestinian Authority tells the international community, they tell President Trump one thing but when you listen to what they’re telling their people; when you listen to the hatred that they’re giving to their people you know there was never a peace process intended. That’s a total lie. Everybody knows it’s a total lie. Why would the Palestinian Authority tell its people just a few weeks after there have been people being killed all around Jerusalem? Why would they tell their people Israel’s plan Jews of high places want to destroy? Because they want hatred, because they don’t want reconciliation. And this is just one simple example compound that by a thousand of times a year and you know why we don’t have a peace process. The Palestinian Authority never wanted a peace process.

JD: Itamar Marcus with his thinking on why there has been no resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

24 years ago the United States started a peace process to bring about a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since that time no United States President has been able to bring about a peace agreement between the two parties. Itamar Marcus said that the Palestinian’s don’t want peace with Israel. They don’t even want a Jewish State only a Palestinian State called Palestine. 

This scenario was written by the ancient Jewish prophets some 2,500 years ago. Malachi chapter 1 reveals that the Palestinians will return and they will rebuild. The Lord will call their borders the borders of wickedness. Ezekiel chapter 35 reveals that once back in the land the Palestinian people will kill the Jews and steal the Jewish land. These prophecies are now in the process of being fulfilled therefore, no successful peace process.

An Israeli official is calling for all Jews to ascend onto the Temple Mount

Listen to Today's Program

JD: From the Prime Minister’s office he has allowed some members of the Knesset, that’s the legislative body for the state of Israel to go up on to the Temple Mount. This is the first time since 2015 that this has taken place; quite interesting development isn’t it?

DD: It show that the Prime Minister would like to see the situation normalized and really Jews should be allowed to go up there, there should be no prohibition. Relations are still very strange with Jordan that controls the Temple Mount on the Moslem site; very strange, very bad relations there after the incident on the Temple Mount. So, yes this is a sign that the Prime Minister wants to calm the situation down and wants to be a little more normal up there. It’s a religious holy site not a war zone. It again shows though the Israeli interest in the Temple Mount and Jewish legislators want to go up there and they should be allowed to do that.

JD: Well one of the cabinet members for the Prime Minister the agricultural minister Ariel making a statement that all Israelis should ascend to the Temple Mount. He wants that to be able to happen, that is their desire and even some of the elected officials are calling for that.

DD: Jimmy we have to remember it’s not the Western Wall of the Temple Mount that is Judaism’s holy site it is the Temple Mount itself the top of it where the Temple stood. And of course their Jews they would love to go up there and it’s really ridicules that they cannot do so.  It shows where Islam’s heart really is it wants it all and doesn’t want to share anything with anyone else.

JD: David Dolan with that report.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The controversy surrounding the opportunity for all Jews to enter the Temple Mount is a real hot button for the Moslems. The custodial responsibility for the Temple Mount is in the hands of an Islamic trust. Since 1967 that has been the case. 

More and more in recent days this controversial real estate has resulted in death taking place on this sacred piece of real estate. Over 2,000 years ago the ancient Jewish prophets foretold this conflict for control of the Temple Mount the location of two previous Jewish temples.

The Bible tells us of two more Jewish temples that will be on this site in the future. One that the Messiah Jesus Christ will build when he returns to the earth, that’s Zechariah 6:12. And the other temple will be there on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the time of the tribulation period, 7 years of judgment in the future. That prophecy would be Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, and Revelation 11:1 & 2. This next temple by the way is ready to be rebuilt right now.

Many pro-Israel Christian groups are raising millions of dollars for the Jews, but not for the purpose of evangelizing the Jews

Listen to Today's Program

JD: David I guess the largest pro-Israel group in the United States is Christians United for Israel, which many would think would be devoted to seeing Jews come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ but that’s definitely not the case.

DJ: You know they have a very high profile in fact Vice President Mike Pence was their keynote speaker in their annual meeting in July. But I was looking at an article in Christianity Today the title in which was “Why Evangelize the Jews” and the author of the article noted that some people denigrate the methods and motives of people who evangelize Jews, that’s a quote. And then they claim that focusing ministry on are targeting Jews is just plain wrong.  And then he quotes from John Hagee who is the founder of Christians United for Israel he says, Billy Graham didn’t target Jews Bill Bright refused to target the Jews, I’m not targeting the Jews and that means targeting them with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

JD: David you know we don’t want to give the impression that we’re against the idea of standing with Israel because there are some strong Biblical reasons for doing exactly that. But I do believe and I think the purpose for this conversation is that people need to be wise and do their homework to know how to be good stuart of the Lord's money that he has given us.

DJ: And there are a number of things people can do. Always go to the websites and try to find their statements of faith and find out what they believe concerning the scriptures because we want people to be handling the word of God correctly as they interact with the Jewish people.

JD: And let me just mention also, in the book of Romans chapter 1 the gospel is the power of God and to salvation to everyone to believeth the Jew first and then the rest of the world. We need to be winning Jewish people to Jesus Christ in this time in this day before all of the end time scenario unfolds.

DJ: Well that's right.

JD: David James with some very important information for those who are making donations to pro-Israel Christian groups.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Genesis 12:3 says that we are to bless the Jews. Now that’s a command. However, there is only one way to really bless the Jew. That’s to give the Jews the gospel so that they can get saved, that’s Romans 1:16. 

Notice that statement in the verse to the Jew first. Anyone that is not saved will enter the tribulation period and then ultimately be cased into the lake of fire. That’s Jew or Gentile, all people. In Romans 9:1-3, Paul says that he would be will to go to hell himself if he could win Jews to Jesus Christ. Now that is real compassion that we need. 

Russia and the European Union are setting the stage for two super powers in the End Times

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Would you not agree with me Rob that the European Union is at least the infrastructure for the revived Roman Empire?

RC: Oh, absolutely! If you look at the area’s that it covers right now and it’s member states the goals as the founders stated for it, it’s exactly is duplicating. It’s really a fulfillment of what has been term for over 1,000 years. The European dream that’s the dream of the United Europe reforming the Roman Empires and we are seeing that today being pressed ahead rapidly.

JD: And of course that scenario that end times scenario is talking about two super powers at the very beginning of the tribulation period. One of them will be the revived Roman Empire and then the coalition of nations that will be lead by Russia to attack the Jewish State of Israel. Now with that in mind there is real concern in the Ukraine Rob, the possibility that Russia could then invade the Ukraine.

RC: Yes, Russia is planning some major military exercises. Now, one of the things is Russia is indirectly helping the rebels against the current year Ukrainian government. So, there seeing this as maybe this will be the excuse and Russia will move across and occupy Ukraine. Russian’s think of the Ukraine as part of Russia. If we look at as you’ve mentioned that final coalition that I think will initiate start the tribulation is that Ukraine is very important to it and so therefore they have reason to fear. It’s very hard to say what Putin will do. So, it might not be such a bad time to try and come and regain more land of the Ukraine by Russia.

JD: Rob Congdon with the details for our news headline today.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

As Rob reported today there are two political operations in our world that want to become super powers here at what look like the end times as called for in Bible prophecy. These two powers would be the European Union and Russia. Biblical prophecy foretells of these two super powers. One such power is the revived Roman Empire which seems to be coming together as foretold in Daniel 7:7,8, 23, and 24. The infrastructure for that revived Roman Empire being the European Union. The other super power will be the Russian lead coalition of Middle Eastern nations as foretold in Ezekiel 38. This alignment of nations preparing to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. Current events are at this time setting up for both of these prophetic scenarios to be fulfilled.

There has been a miraculous mysterious birth reported to have taken place in a shepherd's field near Bethlehem in Israel

Listen to Today's Program

We have a report of a birth taking place in an open field near the little Arab village of Bethlehem. The shepherds are reporting they have found the newborn babe with His parents; the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, a food trough for the animals.

There are also reports that last night, their were Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) in the skies over and around Bethlehem. Some of the shepherds are saying that the UFOs were actually angels and this host of angels were actually singing joyful songs of the long awaited Jewish Messiah. There are unconfirmed reports that this little baby is the One that has been spoken of by the ancient Jewish prophets for hundreds of years, the one to be born in Bethlehem and to become the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the Son of God.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The birth of Jesus Christ fulfilled all the prophecies in the Bible for the presence of God with us - Emmanuel - and it does actually set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

For over 2,000 years the story of the birth of Christ - which is recorded in four chapters of the Bible Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2, actually only 168 verses - has been responsible for authors writing so many books that one library could not contain all of the volumes. The composers have penned the music and lyrics for musical manuscripts with Jesus Christ as the theme of these musical numbers, the most used theme in all of music history.

Though Jesus never traveled more than 100 miles from His hometown, men and women have traveled to the far reaches of this earth to tell others the story of this man, the God-man born 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. It is interesting to note that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, started in a cradle, a manger, He carried His cross to where they would crucify Him, but death could not keep Him, He arose from the dead 3 days later. As He left this world to go back to Heaven, He promised that He would come again to earth, this time wearing a crown.

This God-man, Emmanuel - God with us - came by way of the cradle to the cross and soon He will come wearing a crown; Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who has and will fulfill Bible prophecy.

The back story of the wise men, who came to the newly born Messiah, is amazing

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Well lets now turn our attention to Jerusalem and the encounter between Herod the great and the wise men from the east. Obviously one of the big questions that many don’t usually think about is how these Persian priest came to know about the prophesied King of the Jews.

DJ: As we think about the Biblical account in Matthew chapter 2 what we find is after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea and the days of Herod the king behold wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. And as they went to Herod they asked Herod where is he who has been born king of the Jews. Now, Herod’s title as the puppet king of Rome his title was the king of the Jews as well. So this would have been an absolutely startling statement to have this group of men as you noted they would have been Persian priest.

In Daniel chapter 2, Daniel interpreted a dream both gave the dream and interpreted the dream for the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar and it talked about four kingdoms that would come and in extension of that fourth kingdom the revived Roman Empire would be destroyed by the kingdom of God that was depicted by the stone coming down from Heaven that would cause that statue to topple. Which we understand will happen during the Tribulation period as Jesus Christ sets up his kingdom.

Now, the reason this important is that in Daniel 2:48 we read that the Babylonian king promoted Daniel and gave him many gifts and made him ruler over the whole providence of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. So, Daniel was set over all of the magicians, the wise men, the priest in Babylon. And then when the Medo Persian Empire came in and took over the Babylonian Empire Daniel continued in that role. 

So, these Persian priest from the time of Daniel he would have trained them and Daniel’s legacy remained so that when the time came for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem these Persians actually knew the Hebrew Scriptures. And it goes clear back to Daniel’s legacy; an amazing story.

JD: David James with the story of how Daniel trained the wise men to look for the King of the Jews, the Messiah Jesus Christ.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Daniel the ancient Jewish prophet foretold the time of the Messiah here on earth, that’s Daniel 9:25 & 26. And the Bible tells us that he even trained the wise men who traveled to Jerusalem to welcome the God men to earth and having been instructed by King Herod to tell him where the new born King of the Jews was located there in Bethlehem these wise men departed another way, that’s the book of Matthew chapter 2. 

A pentagon official says that even though North Korea is a nuclear threat to our world, we need to change our focus and put it on the nuclear threat from Russia

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The last conversation I think we had here on the broadcast was a focus on that missile test that North Korea was involved in and we were much concerned about that. Even though we had been watching very closely North Korea and they’re nuclear program we had better start focusing on Russia and their nukes. Is that pretty much right on target?

BM: It is Jimmy and as you recall when we taped that broadcast I was in Europe. This particular issue just wont go away. In fact, it appears that it’s going to get worse.

JD: Well I have a report that Russia is building up to 8,000 warheads and they’re doing this from sometimes underground facilities, talk to us about that.

BM: Well of course during the height of the Cold War the Russians had an excess of 15,000 warheads and the Russians have restarted a modernization program. So following a new doctrine Vladimir Putin who is now seeking his third term and likely will be re-elected started a robust nuclear program. And so this is rather concerning and the Russian doctrine calls for a use of nuclear weapons along with conventional weapons earlier in a campaign. It’s very alarming because the Russians are of course not as robust as they once were but he wants to resurrect that again. And I think that he can and I think he’ll intimidate much of the NATO Western Europe.

So, this is concerning; we’ll see who he allies himself with. Regional partners clearly Syria which will resurrect itself from the Civil War given their help Iran being potential partner. This is something we need to look at and follow closely and I suspect my prediction is not all that off base.

JD: Bob Maginnis with the explanation of the nuclear threat from Russia.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Colonel Maginnis who works at the Pentagon in the area of developing strategy for the military has given us valuable information that is a warning of Russia as a major player and a nuclear threat in our world today. Russia is listed as Magog in Ezekiel 38:2 and Russia will be the political leader of a coalition of Middle Eastern nations that will endeavor in the last days to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, that’s Ezekiel 38, Psalm 83, and Daniel chapter 11.

Be forewarned Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
