The Palestinians are accusing the Israelis of using the Abraham Accords to set up Israel's Biblical borders

Listen to Today's Program

JD: David Palestinian leaders claim that the new Arab Accords are being used by Israel to gain their Biblical borders, that's an interesting statement. That's found of course in Genesis 15 where the borders of Israel according to God to Abraham would include from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates up in northern Lebanon. It's quite an interesting claim by the Palestinians. What can you tell us?

DD: Well so far the agreements that have been signed do the opposite Jimmy. The Peace Accord with Egypt was certainly predicated upon Egypt continuing to control the territory that it currently has. Although of course they did get back the Sinai Peninsula from Israel. So in fact Israel's borders were decreased because of that peace accord. Then the accord with Jordan solidified the eastern border as it were with the Jordan River more or less not formally but certainly didn't take any land from Jordan. And in fact they continue to control Judea and Samaria as they still do today. So in that since they gained a little bit. But they did annex the Golan Heights. 

The latest accords have nothing to do with the Biblical borders, Bahrain and the UAE being on the Arabian Peninsula south of the Euphrates River quiet a bit. So not include in those Biblical borders. What it would include if we reverted to that would be a portion of Lebanon and a good portion of Iraq, about half of Iraq and a good portion of Syria northeast Syria in particular where the oil is. Of course that remains the only part of Syria where US forces are. So as a factual statement that just not true. It isn't that Israel wouldn't like all of those borders back and have all of that land but it's certainly not on their list right now. They're fighting Iran. They're not going to go in and take half of Syria and half of Iraq.

JD: David Dolan with the details behind the Palestinian accusation that Israel is using the Abraham Accords to set up Israel's Biblical borders.

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

Though the Palestinians are incorrect in their accusation that Israel today wants their Biblical borders to be set in place. That prophecy found in Genesis 15:18 will not be fulfilled until Jesus Christ comes back. However it will be fulfilled and the Jewish people will have all the land that God has promised them some 10 times the amount of land that they have today.

A political world leader, addressing the United Nations General Assembly, speaks of the Prophetic scenario for the future

Listen to Today's Program

JD: In New York City the United Nations is having their General Assembly meeting. President Trump did not go to New York City but did send a video and in the video he said there are more great peace deals with Israel and some of their Arab neighbors on the way. Boy that was a great positive message but he was making some warning as well was he not?

KT: He was and it's unfortunate that we live in such a highly politicized environment now in the United States where you can have an absolutely momentous achievement by the President making peace between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and also as you say this announcement that there are more peace deals on the way. It's a momentous achievement and it's getting virtually no attention from the national media. 

President Trump also used that virtual address to the United Nations to really hit China hard. I was surprised at the frankness of his criticism of the Chinese over unleashing the Coronavirus. He essentially blamed them for the worldwide pandemic. He said there was no evidence that it was transmissible human to human. The Chinese also and Trump mentioned this in his address the Chinese shut down domestic air travel in China. However, they encouraged people from Wuhan the area most infected to take international flights to Europe and to the United States where they could infect other countries. He is basically accusing the Chinese authorities of responsibility for spreading the Wuhan virus. I think he has got a claim which is potentially actionable in the courts and certainly in the courts of diplomacy.

JD: Ken Timmerman with the details behind President Trumps address to the United Nations General Assembly and how he inserted the prophetic scenario for the future.

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

Ken's report revealed how a world political leader can speak to the world from the stage of the United Nations to address the events to come in the future as foretold by the ancient Jewish prophets. President Trump spoke about peace treaties from Daniel 9:27. The President addressed the worldwide pandemic of the Coronavirus from the message from Jesus Christ, the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:7. The President revealed how John the revelator would speak of China in Revelation 16:12. President Trump at the United Nations addressing prophetic events that will indeed be fulfilled.

God set human government in place so that political leaders can make decisions that will fulfill God's plan for the future

Listen to Today's Program

JD: There needs to be someone the President, the Executive Branch appointing a Justice to fill that vacancy and the Senate the Legislative Branch to give consent. Now having said that is there anyway the President and the Senate, the present President and Senate using an abuse of what they understand the law to be or their power to accomplish what the Constitution calls for?

SR: Well I should say the vacancy that now sits before the court is an obligation of the President, Executive Branch and to appoint a replacement. As you said the Senate is there to confirm that replacement. Right now there are nine Justices of the Supreme Court. One of them Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we're discussing this has now died and that seat is open. There is some discussion Jimmy right now by some that are saying well the President should wait, he should wait until after the election. He should wait until after a new President is seated and the President said, no I need to move ahead because that's what the Constitution says. In reality I can say Constitutionally there is no reason for a delay. That spot is to be filled. It is appropriate that the President wants to move swiftly. 

There are four individuals believe it or not James Burns appointed by President FDR in 1941, George Sutherland appointed by President Harding in 1922, William Taft appointed by President Harding in 1921, Edward White appointed by President Grover Cleveland in 1894. Those four individuals actually were nominated and they were confirmed by the Senate on the very same day. So it is not a problem for this President to move ahead with an appointment with a seeking to fill this vacancy before the election as it is coming up.

JD: Sam Rohrer explaining the duties of political leaders.

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

It is not abuse of power for political leaders to follow the dictates of the Constitution of the United States. It was God who set human government in place to lead nations and political leaders to make decisions that will fulfill the will of God, that's Genesis 9:6 and Genesis 10. These governments must be at full strength to set God's will in place for the world today. A United States President will in fact make political decisions that sets God's prophetic scenario in place for the future, that's Revelation 17:17.  

The phenomenom, QAnon, may be what Jesus was referring to in His Olivet Discourse

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Let's get started by first getting into the basics of what the term QAnon actually means and how the movement got started and the general idea behind it.

DJ: Well let me get started with the question about what QAnon is in general. The New York Times put it this way, QAnon is the umbrella term for a sprawling set of internet conspiracy theories that allege falsely that the world is run by Satan worshiping pedophiles who are plotting against Mr. Trump while operating a global child sex trafficking ring. Now I just need to insert here the statement in the article that this is false is precisely what the controversy is about because advocates believe this conspiracy theory and skeptics don't obviously. 

Then the article goes on to say QAnon followers believe that this click includes top Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, as well as a number of entertainers and Hollywood celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and religious figures including Pope Francis and the Dali Lama. In October 2017 an anonymous user put a series of post on the mostly anonymous message board and the user signed off as Q and claimed to have a high level of security approval known as Q clearance. The Anon in QAnon stands for anonymous. So Q's followers are called Anons.

JD: Why are so many believers getting caught up in this and other conspiracy theories?

DJ: Well I think the one reason some believers get caught up in the conspiracy theories as something are just difficult to explain and because of Biblical prophecy we know this is all going somewhere with the conflict between good and evil and of course the Lord is going to win. There are things going on in our world that are hard to explain but two things help me stay balance. One is to stay away from too much speculation when it comes to the Bible. We don't interpret the Bible in light of current events. The Bible is our authority. And the other thing is the so what question. What I mean by that is even if the given conspiracy theory were true what difference would it make in my day to day life. We need to trust the Lord for how this is all going to work out and stay faithful in the mean time.

JD: David James, Bible in hand explaining the phenomenon of QAnon.

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

I started in the headline for David's report that Jesus may well have been referring to QAnon in his last message the Olivet Discourse recorded in Matthew 24. Jesus mentioned in that message four times in Matthew 24 deception. In the last days we must not be deceived. The absolute knowledge for the future is found in God's prophetic passages. We must allow Bible prophecy to be our guide.

The European Union has failed to acknowledge President Trump's Middle East peace plan and at the same time the EU actions are pushing Turkey and Iran into the arms of China

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The EU actually needs to admit that President Trump has it right on these Middle East peace agreements.

JR: The European Union you know has taken such a strong continual stance against Israel that the Trump peace plan although not blatantly received by all the nations its having a positive effect. We discussed last week Serbia and Kosovo have agreed to move their embassies to Jerusalem. The United Arab Emirates in Bahrain now they have made a peace deal and will resume diplomatic relations with Israel.

JD: In fact speaking of the activities of the European Union we have to think about the European Union disarray which is actually pushing Iran and Turkey into the arms of China.

JR: Europe has had a stance towards Turkey. Turkey since 1987 has been hoping for EU membership. It's always been put off and had all types of requirements. So it should not be surprising. The Turkish leader President Erdogan doesn't really have a choice because he knows they have been shunned from the European Union and they're looking for other alliances. 

You have Iran is actually negotiating right now 25 year bilateral deal with China. They're having difficulties with the European Union. The European Union doesn't want to antagonize the United States so Iran and Turkey are taking their center of gravity and moving it East which is predictable under these circumstances.   

JD: John Rood explaining how the European Union is ignoring the Trump Middle East peace plan and at the same time pushing Turkey and Iran into the China camp.

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

The European Union, Turkey, Iran and China are all mentioned in the prophetic passages of the Bible. The European Union is the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire, Daniel 7:7-8, 23-24. Iran and Turkey mentioned in Ezekiel 38:2-6. And China will be one of the kings of the east as mentioned in Revelation 16:12. All of these players are on the stage today and ready to play their part in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

The Palestinian leadership is furious about the Abraham Accords but at the same time the Palestinian man in the street is not as upset

Listen to Today's Program

JD: September 13th the Anniversary of the Oslo Accords which are basically dead in the water. However, Mahmoud Abbas President of the Palestinian Authority said it was a black day for the Palestinians and they are warning of a third anti-Fatah which could be an all out war against the Jewish State of Israel; your comments?

DD: Bluster is all I can say Jimmy because the PA and Hamas and Islamic Jihad all called for major demonstrations on last Tuesday when the Peace Accords were signed. Instead just a few hundred people came out in Ramallah, in Bethlehem, in the Gaza Strip to shout a few slogans and do a few things and then they went home. So the most action we saw was over 12 rockers being fired into southern Israel. Ashkelon toward the Iron Dome intercepted 8 of those but there was some damage. That was the official reaction but the people didn't get that rilled up. I think again UAE big deal Bahrain long ways away. It doesn't negatively affect their lives.

I don't think the PA leadership as much as it may try is going to be able to stir up another uprising. Now had Israel annexed thirty percent of Judea and Samaria as we all were expecting before now even then I think we would have seen major street unrest. We would have seen a huge upturn in terrorism and none of that so far has happened after these accords have been signed. We can only pray that will remain the case and that the rocket fire will be ceased. 

JD: David Dolan's report on the very angry Palestinian leadership over the Abraham Accords while the Palestinians body politic is not as much upset. 

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

God's prophetic word speaks of the Palestinian people today as the Edomites of Biblical times, that's Genesis 25:22-34 and Genesis 36:1. As you trace Esau, Edom through the pages of scripture in Ezekiel 35 you find out that the Palestinian people will rise up and kill the Jews and then steal their land. Malachi 1 says that they will return to Israel to rebuild however God will call their borders the borders of wickedness. The little book of Obadiah says that the Palestinians will be destroyed forever as if they had never been at the return of the Messiah. That's the last chapter on the Palestinian people of today.

Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to be indispensable in the Middle East

Listen to Today's Program

JD: You mentioned just a moment ago Russia and when we're talking about the peace agreements the main personality focus is on President Donald Trump. However Putin I think is pretty upset about this and he's doing everything he can to make Russia indispensable in the Middle East. I don't know if he's going to succeed or not. What are your thoughts?

KT: Well he's been slowly creeping into that position since 2015. We have tracked him every step of the way on this program Jimmy most people do not, the main stream media does not. Since 2015 when Russia intervened in a major way in the Syrian Civil War bringing in war planes, setting up bases, putting troops on the ground. They have been moving their peaces on the Middle East chess board and it's not just Syria. We have seen Russia meetings with leaders in Beirut. They have been calling the top factional leaders, they've been calling the Shiite leaders and the former Prime Minister for consultations with top advisers to Putin. 

The Russians see a void in the region created by Donald Trump who has repeatedly told Americans and the world that we are not going to get engaged in endless wars we are going to end those endless wars and only defend America's interest, our strategic interests. Being in Syria is not America's strategic interest. Today even being in Iraq is not in America's strategic interest. The President recently announced the draw down of 2,000 troops from Iraq and I think the rest of those troops will be coming home soon. And that is true it will open the door for greater Russian engagement. But you know Jimmy it is a double edged sword. As the Russian's become more powerful militarily and more present militarily in the region they will also become bigger targets in the region. So we could see things happening to the Russians and to Russian forces on the ground that in the past we thought could only happen to US forces. 

JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on how Vladimir Putin is moving to make the Russian influence in the Middle East indispensable. 

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

Russia over the last four decades has been a major influence in the Middle East. As Russia stepped into Syria in recent times Vladimir Putin said that the Russian military was there to stay. Now with the Trump Middle East peace plan at work Russia needs to solidify its place in the Middle East. In fact that's what the ancient Jewish prophets said would be the case in the last days, that's Ezekiel 38:2. Russia is there in the Middle East to the end and that is Ezekiel 39:1-6. 

An Israeli nationwide lockdown may be God's plan to cause Jews to consider the implications of the three Fall Jewish Feasts

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The Jewish holy days are underway, the Fall Jewish Feasts, Feast of Rosh Hashanah the New Year, 5781 and of course on that same day the Feast of Trumpets. Ten days later you have the Feast of Yom Kippur and finally five days after that the Feast of Tabernacles but Israel has been locked down. The Israeli government decided to lockdown for the next three weeks the entire state. Is that going to cause a problem for the Jews and their worship of these Jewish holy days?

WM: First of all not a question of worship. We are a community an ethnic religious community and family and getting together. All sorts of events its a very important identifying matter for us so that of course will be heard.

JD: I read a comment from a rabbi who said the lockdown he thought was a positive move because it would cause the Jewish people to actually have to be still and think. That's a pretty interesting thought in fact he even compared it to the high priest who had to go into quarantine before he entered the Holy of Hollies on Yom Kippur. What are your thoughts?

WM: Well yes that's a good image and of course we're always hopeful that the secular side of our society will become more appreciative of spiritual and religious values and ritual and not seen them as something to be rejected or as not modern but realize that people who act with observance, with commitment, with thinking about community and thinking about we're not alone on this Earth that we have a divine presence with us will make everyone better. Even if I'm talking about ethical values at work or in commerce or other things like that. We always have hope that our example if its done with rational thinking and explanation more and more people and not only Jews will come to appreciate what God should be in their lives and to act with a commitment to man and to God and that will make human kind so much better. 

JD: Winkie Medad explaining how a nationwide lockdown in Israel may be God's plan to cause Jews to consider the prophetic significance of the three Fall Jewish Feasts.

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

 The Israeli government installed a nationwide lockdown at the beginning of the three Fall Jewish Feasts days. That could allow Jews to consider that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of these three Fall Feasts as He was the fulfillment of the four Spring Feasts. In fact, that's why God gave the Feasts to the Jewish people. 

The Rapture will not be fulfilled on the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, instead the Second Coming will happen on that Jewish Feast Day

Listen to Today's Program

JD: David earlier I was discussing the fall Jewish Feasts with a couple of our broadcast partners, Winkie Medad and Steve Herzig and this week we were able to receive a question from one of our listeners connected with this topic. 

DJ: His question was this, will Rosh Hashanah be the day of the Rapture in some year in the future? Then he said the bases for his question is that the four spring feasts have been fulfilled by Jesus. And of course those four feasts are Passover, Unleavened bread, First Fruits and Pentecost. Then finally he proposes that the Rapture would fulfill Rosh Hashanah with Yom Kippur corresponding to the 70th week and then Jesus returns to usher in the millennial kingdom to fulfill the Feast of Tabernacles. Its an interesting question that I've had before and I know you've had if before as well. But we would believe that the Bible shows that Jesus second coming will be on the Feast of Trumpets and so that will be the fulfillment not the Rapture. And if the Rapture were to fulfill that Feast then it can't happen at any moment and in fact there would be 364 days of every year that the Rapture couldn't take place. However, we know that the Bible teaches the Rapture is at any moment event.

Another problem is that we know the second coming happens at the end of Daniel's 70th week and the Covenant of Daniel 9:27 goes into effect 7 years earlier. So there needs to be time for the antichrist to rise from obscurity to a position of power so he can affirm and enforce that treaty. So the 70th week can't begin with the Rapture. Now that doesn't mean the Rapture can't happen on the Feast of Trumpets but it doesn't have to and it's not the fulfillment. 

JD: David James, Bible in hand explaining that the second coming will fulfill the prophecy of the Feast of Trumpets not the Rapture.

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

Without rehearsing everything that David gave in his answer to a Prophecy Today listeners question I would like to explain from the Olivet Discourse the last sermon by Jesus before He was crucified what He actually said about the Feast of Trumpets. 

In Matthew 24:29-31 Jesus said that right after the Tribulation He would come back to Earth that's the second coming. Now notice verse 31 He tells the angel to blow a trumpet and call an assembly. That is the fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets at the second coming of Jesus Christ. This is not the fulfillment of the Rapture that can actually happen at any time, not a special day but any time even today.

The first of the three fall Jewish Feasts teach us of Creation and the coming of the Jewish Messiah

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Let me talk to you about the Jewish Feasts days. They are God given and very special for the Jewish people aren't they?

SH: Yes they are Jimmy and happy holidays to you. 5781 that alone is something we can talk about. But yes the fall feasts are extremely important. Rosh Hashanah kicks off the civil New Year, it's significant. Jewish people are thinking about their past year and then they'll be thinking about Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and of course Tabernacle. So yes this is a very important time on the Jewish calendar. 

JD: Well let's do exactly what you have suggested. Tell us why we look at the New Year for the Jewish people as 5781 why not 2020?

SH: In Judaism talking about the Jewish Scriptures there's so many things that we're able to observe from them and then learn. 5781 is the Jewish view of how old the Earth is. When they go to worship on Rosh Hashanah they will acknowledge that yes it's the year of 5781. So Biblical Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism both teach that the Earth is young. 

Secondly, shofars are involved and the sounding of the shofar which is a really important and significant and Biblical thing. You have the blowing of the shofar which reminds the Jewish people talks about the Messiah, a future Messiah. And wait a minute we have to take inventory of our life because Messiah is soon coming. Again that's an Orthodox Biblical view where Liberal Jewish people will acknowledge just by their presence at a Rosh Hashanah service. There's this stress between the Biblical and traditional Jewish teaching and the practice of Jewish people and their actually beliefs. It's a really interesting tension that to me has always been worth pursuing because its worth a conversation and Jewish people will talk about it.

JD:  Steve Herzig helping us to see what we learn from the first of the fall Jewish Feasts, Rosh Hashanah the Jewish New Year and the Feast of Trumpets.

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

The Jewish New Year is 5781 revealing that the Jews believe God created the Heavens, the Earth and all that is in them some 5781 years ago. On the same day of the Jewish New Year is the Feast of Trumpets which speaks of the coming Messiah who will come the second time on a future Feast of Trumpets, that's Matthew 24:29-31. 

There is a prophetic connection between the Jewish Feasts and the fruit trees in Israel

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Next Friday evening at sundown begins the three fall feasts. You're talking almost about a month worth of Jewish Feast days. People in Israel encouraging Christians and others around the world to get involved in planting trees especially as it approaches Rosh Hashanah and especially fruit trees. Why is this connected to Rosh Hashanah? 

WM: Well Jimmy the tradition is that our Hebrew calendar while technically the year begins on Rosh Hashanah we have different periods when the fruit trees once planted can be eaten from only after three years. All of our holidays in addition to relationship between man and man, man and God, and man and divinity its also between man and the land. The land is very important in Judaism.  

JD: And I was reading from a rabbi's post, I was seeing he was talking about Ezekiel 36 where the prophet is actually talking to the land of Israel. Verses 6-11 talks about when you come back into the land and He said I will multiply the fruit trees and I will multiply man on the land with the fruit trees. He brought forward that the fruit trees are basically an evidence of the glory of God, I thought that was a great connection. 

WM: Actually the first chief rabbi of Israel said that the end of times becomes apparent when you see the land coming back to life and fruit trees giving fruit. You'll find all these quotes in the Bible because if we have reached a specific time in world history the land will once again flourish and flower and prove that the Jewish people have returned. I think and as you know there are many Christians who come here to help us with the harvesting of the grapes and they also want to be a part of this miracle that is recreated due to the prophets seeing that this would take place.

JD: Winkie Medad with the details behind the connection between the Jewish Feasts and the fruit trees in Israel.

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

As you take a moment to read Ezekiel 36:8-11 you will recognize the prophetic truth found in this passage of prophecy. This is where God foretells His plan for the land of Israel that He has promised the Jewish people. That promise speaks of the time when the Jews return to the land and then the Lord will give them an abundance of fruit in the land for the purpose of confirming His fulfillment of His promise and His prophecy, both of which are being fulfilled today.

Iran now has a military satellite that allows the Iranians to attack any American real estate

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Let's talk about Iran they are now bragging about the fact that all American soil is in now within range of any Iranian bomb and they're even talking about putting something in the sky above the United States that could cause an EMP. What do we know about this announcement by Iran?

KT: Well Jimmy I personally found that it quite astonishing to hear that the Iranian government in a government run news agency said openly what you and I have been talking about here in these broadcast for several years now which is the Iranian governments intention to launch an electro magnetic pulse nuclear weapon to explode a nuclear weapon exploded high in the atmosphere over the United States. In this particular news item they said it would kill 90% of the American people boasting of that. 

So now they're saying openly previously based on access to either intelligence information or access to statements by Iranian military leaders. Now the political leadership is saying this as well. The second thing that is extraordinarily significant I think they also confirm and that is when you have the ability to launch a satellite into orbit which the Iranians recently demonstrated you have the ability to launch an ICBM and the Iranians just said that. They said openly, we've now launched a satellite into orbit which means we can hit with our rockets any city in the United States. Well you know for years you've heard people saying Iran's space program is purely purely a civilian program this coming from Iran apologist groups here in the United States who are Iranian apologist and from Foreign Minister. But now they're saying quite openly that the fact that they've launched a satellite into space shows that they can now hit the Continental United States and any city in it with one of their missiles. This is pretty extraordinary and it's a big big escalation. 

JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on how Iran's new military satellite allows them to attack all of America's real estate.

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

Ken's report is a stark warning for America and the reality that Iran is not only a major threat to the Middle East but to the United States as well. This alert is a page right out of the prophetic passages of God's word. Iran is mentioned or referred to in Ezekiel 38:5, Daniel 11:44, and Psalm 83:6. All of these prophecies will be fulfilled in the very near future. 

Israel signs another peace treaty with an Arab nation

Listen to Today's Program

JD: David I would imagine that most of Israel is going to be focused on Washington DC and in particular the White House where the peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates will be signed and Donald Trump will sign it as well. That's going to be a historic meeting and a historic signing of a peace treaty the first one in some 26 years.

DD: Well it is and a delegation is leading Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu heading that. He was talking about flying in a private jet with his wife and two sons to avoid being with the delegation because of the massive explosion of Covid cases in Israel, over 4,000 a day now being reported. A full lockdown is beginning just before the high holy days. So frankly Jimmy most people are focused more on that at the moment then they are on the peace process but never the less they're very happy Bahrain coming on board the train and opening relations with Israel. 

A delegation was supposed to arrive from the UAE in Israel right after the signing ceremony at the White House to sign some deals but because of the Covid lockdown that may be postponed they're now saying. Certainly it is a great achievement and something that the Israeli's have looked for. President Trump hinted that Saudi Arabia may come on board that as well. They're more reluctant because of being the guardians of the Islamic holy site in Mecca and Madina but at the very least their not opposing the deal. Only Iran and Turkey is still strongly speaking against it but the Israeli public is very happy that this is happening. We could be in the middle of a war there is a war going on against the virus but at least there's not war with some of these Arab countries and moving more and more in the direction of normalizing relations and that is definitely a good thing.

JD: David Dolan with the details on a peace treaty ceremony at the White House, a peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

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

Its been 26 years since Israel signed a peace treaty with one of its former enemy states and this time the Jewish state of Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Israel has signed peace treaties with two other Arab nations, Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. With this third treaty with the United Arab Emirates and another coming with Bahrain we see the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled in the near future. When these treaties fall apart and they will the antichrist will appear to confirm all of these then broken peace treaties, that's Daniel 9:27. 

The Bible could be considered "hate speech" in Europe and that philosophy may also come to America

Listen to Today's Program

JD: This week you alerted me David to a bill that is being considered by the Scottish Parliament. It has some potential of making it a hate crime to preach and to teach the word of God. Explain this bill.

DJ: The article I sent you was published to the Christian Institute website. The Christian Institute article carried the title, "Atheist Intends to Criminalize Bible if Scott Hate Crime Bill is Passed". The opening paragraph read as follows, "An atheist activist has welcomed the Scottish governments controversial hate bill as an opportunity to report the Bible in church sermons for so called hate speech." "Atheist saw some merit in the SMP's hate crime and public order, that's the Scotland bill as it will enable the prosecution of all Scotland's religions and their holy books for spreading hatred."

JD: Well David it leaves me with a couple of questions to ask. Number one do you see the possibility of something like this coming to the United States? And then number two if it does how do we as believers respond?

DJ: Well Jimmy when we were discussing the government mandates related to Covid-19 a few weeks ago it was obvious that some of our listeners were concerned that this is exactly what's already happening here in this country. There's definitely been movement in thinking about this among believers. You know initially almost everyone was willing to be tolerant at least temporally although some were defiant from the beginning. But now that we're over 8 months into this I'm seeing more and more believers saying enough is enough. With the CDC's report this week that only 6 percent of reported Covid-19 deaths had no other comb or high risk factors. More are agreeing we've been played. 

In today's political, social and religious climate in America I think it's just a matter of time before more and more of what we would hold as Biblical teaching is going to end up being challenged even in the courts. I think there will be hard lines crossed if and when we're told we cannot preach or teach certain passages from Scripture or incorporate Biblical principals and or doctrinal statements or business practices. If that happens then we'll have no choice but to take a stand even if it means arrest, conviction and jail time. When it comes to that Jimmy our greater allegiance is to the Lord and His word.

JD: David James with Bible in hand explaining how the Bible and preaching from the Bible could be considered hate speech and not allowed under government mandate.

Should the United States government pass legislation that would define the Bible and preaching from the Bible as hate speech Christians must defy that government mandate. We must obey God rather than man, that's Acts 4:19-20. 

Joe Biden, a candidate for President of the United States is against the Pope and the Bible on a major issue in the upcoming election

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Biden and some of his campaign literature, and we're not attacking Joe Biden he had made the statement and we just want to fact check him and see what he does really believe. In his campaign literature is talking about his relationship with the Pope and in fact I think he did receive communion from the Pope at one time. But because of that relationship does not necessarily mean that he's truly a believer either way does it? 

MG: Well it really doesn't and its really interesting to know that Pope Francis supports Joe Biden and actually wants Joe Biden to win the Presidency even though Joe Biden by his own admission is not pro-life he is pro-abortion. That is why there was a big issue that was brought up last November when Biden was refused communion by a Roman Catholic priest because of his pro-abortion stance. So that's when Joe Biden went on to say that it doesn't matter that he was refused communion from a local priest because Pope Francis gives him communion when he goes to the Vatican to visit. The Catholic priest, the local priest had more discernment to uphold Catholic law than Pope Francis himself.

JD: You just revealed to us Joe Biden is not on the right page from a Biblical prospective when you start talking about abortion. 

MG: I believe that your listeners would probably believe what I'm going to say that there's no clear example of wickedness in the slaughter of innocent helpless babes in a mothers womb. And those who promote the women's rights who murder their children have told us about their immoral character. We don't need to look any further because how can anyone vote for a President who stands for such wickedness. And so I really believe that's one of the major issues if not the most critical issue if a President were to allow the murder of innocent babies in the womb then he has no right to lead our country.

JD: Mike Gendron on the issue that should determine how you vote in the upcoming Presidential election. 

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

This report is not a statement for one candidate or the other in the upcoming Presidential election however it is a fact finding report on what has to be the major issue for Christian voters. Psalm 139 is God's statement on the issue of abortion. Remember life does begin not at birth and not at conception but in the mind of God in eternity past, that's Jeremiah 1:5. Abortion is blasphemy against God.  

China is calling upon the European Union to join them in their battle against the United States

Listen to Today's Program

JD: John I know that China is not a member of the European Union but they are calling on Europe to unite against the extremist US forces. That is only telling us that China and the United States are at odds as it relates to who is going to be the leader of the known world. Why is China calling on Europe? Do they believe that Europe will join sides with them instead of the United States?

JR: I believe certainly that is part of their motive trying to get Europe on their side. The Chinese Foreign Minster had made a tour and the first country he went to was Italy. China had provided some of the medical assistance for Covid when Italy was in the crisis. But then again they were most likely the source because there was a lot of Chinese workers that went there. But the Chinese Foreign Minster has come out with some concerning statements on this tour including that China-US relations are in the gravest situation since the diplomatic relations began. And they are accusing the United States that they are coerce countries to take sides but looks to me that China is actually trying to coerce Europe to take sides. 

Europe has had this new policy the key phrase is strategic autonomy. So this is the EU diplomatic way let's say to make their decisions free of United States influence. They want to show interest to China and at the same time the EU Foreign Policy Chief came out recently calling China new empire. Europe as usual is trying to play all sides and usually comes out with a weak stance.

JD: John Rood with the details on China's efforts to have the European Union join them in their conflict against America.

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

The three world powers that John mentioned in his report China, The European Union and the United States are key players in the world today. However, the future only has two of the three that will be involved in the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. The European Union which is the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire will fulfill Daniel 7:7, 8, 23, 24. China is mentioned as one of the kings of the east in Revelation 16:12. Remember the United States is not mentioned in Bible prophecy however, the European Union and China are set to fulfill Bible prophecy.

Moslems cover up an entrance to the Temple Mount that would have led, possibly, to the Ark of the Covenant

Listen to Today's Program

JD: There was one of the stones that they used for pavement as you go up onto the Temple Mount that fell through and opened up a gap or a hole there in the Temple Mount platform. There was an immediate response from archeologist in Israel that wanted to go through that hole and develop what archeological remains or treasures actually that might be down there. But by the end of the week the Waqf who is the Islamic trust with custodial control of the Temple Mount filled it up with cement. Some are even saying, I read someone say that may have well been a tunnel to the chamber to where the Ark of the Covenant is. Can you tell us anything about what happened there?

DD: Jimmy what happened there is what's happened many times before where potential important archeological discovers have been made and the Moslems have come in and shut it down. The most famous was up on the Temple Mount. This was in the 1990s when they were doing some work at the Israeli police station in one corner of the Mount there and they were doing some digging and they uncovered an ancient wall and a corner of two walls. It was in the right position to possibly have been the outer wall of the second Temple. Archeologist immediately recognized that possibility and rushed up there and within days the Palestinians started pouring concrete in and built a garden over it. Never has the research continued since then. So this has happened before Jimmy. 

They don't want further confirmations that Israel existed in the holy land in ancient times that there was Jewish Temple there. In fact there were several of them over the years on and on and on. They call it the Judaization of Jerusalem in attempt by the Jews to make it a Jewish history when it doesn't exist, it never had Jews there etc. Well those are all ridiculous statements and all archeologist of any serious nature toss them aside and they should and would love to be able to go and examine these things when they are first uncovered but again the cover up continues from the Palestinian side.

JD: David Dolan with the details on how the Moslems stopped Israeli archeologist on the Temple Mount.

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

Dave's report is evidence of how the Islamic world keeps the Jews from proving their history on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Moslems deny any Jewish history on the Temple Mount and they do that by denying the Jewish archeologist from getting artifacts to prove that history especially the proof of the Ark of the Covenant at the Temple Mount, that's II Chronicles 35:3. 

Turkey's Erdogan is following the playbook of Iran and the greatest Ottoman Empire leader

Christians should not only consider the character of each candidate that they will vote for but also the platform of their party

Listen to Today's Program

JD: I've heard you make the point that sometimes we need to look past the individual to the platform for their party as we as voters come to a decision on who we're going to vote for.

DJ: And I think that's a point that's often lost in the midst of campaigns. We do need to know where a candidate stands but we really are voting for the platform as well. So we need to compare the platforms the candidates represent. One thing about a party platform is that it provides a general philosophy that someone personally identifies with. 

So there's a broad spectrum of ideologies that extends from Liberalism on one side with radical marxism at the far end of that side to Conservatism on the other with radical fascism on the far end of that side. In our largely two party system Democrats tend to occupy the Liberal side of the spectrum and Republicans tend to be on the Conservative side of the spectrum and this would include both social and physical components. 

JD: Thinking about the platforms of both the Democrats and the Republicans we've seen this laid out over the last couple of weeks as both parties laid out their vision for America at their national conventions. Can you take a moment now and briefly compare and contrast the two platforms as believers think about voting this coming November?

DJ: Democrats aren't only more Liberal political and socially they tend to be more Liberal than Republicans across the board which includes theologically and morally. Democrats tend to favor bigger government and socialist type programs while Republican tend to favor smaller government less regulation of our daily lives and allowing the free market to regulate the economy. Democrats tend to favor decrease military and law enforcement spending while Republicans tend to favor more. Democrats tend to strongly favor gay rights and same sex marriage while Republicans tend to favor traditional marriage. Democrats tend to support undocumented immigration while Republicans tend to favor strong immigration laws. Republicans tend to be far more supportive of Israel's right to the land than Democrats but as each point this is a generalization. It's not always easy to sort out but in this country we the people are the government and we have a God given voice.

JD: David James, Bible in hand giving each of us Biblical advice as we consider the person and the party we will vote for on election day.

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

Since God created human government He sets the standards for those who will lead human government. In fact all of those that will be elected are ordained by God, that's Romans 13:1. We must prayerfully consider who we will vote for because these will be those who will lead us into the future. 

The election asteroid will give us a prototype of the events to happen during the Tribulation Period

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The near consistent bombardment of these space rocks buzzing our own planet of Earth is this a dangerous situation?

DD: Well we probably get hit by about 500 of these asteroid type objects a year. Most of them would go into the oceans and never be seen and then some are found on the ground as fragments. Yes, there's an explosion, there's a creator. There's some creators on the Earth often in out of the way desert places. But the news story that there could be a large asteroid that would destroy humanity or break up the Earth that's certainly not God's plan.

JD: Everyone's heard about the election day asteroid. This is supposed to happen on the day before the election for President on November 3rd. Is it probably going to burn up or could it cause some type of a problem and some how hinder the election?

DD: As best as we can determine it will come close to us on election week. The election day asteroid is a small object probably about six feet in diameter and it would certainly burn up if it would come close to the Earth traveling through our atmosphere. It would vaporize and be gone and actually just kind of put on a light show, a streak across the sky.

JD: But indeed there will be those in the future as we're thinking about that found in the book of Revelation wormwood and others that will cause some major problems to the Earth will it not?

DD: We do know that in the end times things really happen in the skies. It talks about the heavens being rolled up, stars following, and wormwood sort of a punishment object falling into the seas. We're not sure what that is but it reminds us that God's in control and can wrap up our present situation when He wants and bring on a new heavens and new Earth. It's not randomness even these asteroids all these objects and activities are in God's hands.

JD: Don DeYoung giving us details about present day asteroids and space objects that will hit the Earth in the future.

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

My conversation with Don did explain the asteroids approaching the Earth today. Don also referred to space objects that will hit the Earth during the Tribulation period. The book of Revelation reveals these events to come. Study Revelation 6:12-14. Revelation 8:9,10,11 speaks of wormwood which Don spoke of as well. Then remember the heavens will burn up, II Peter 3:10, and the climax will be the new heavens, the new Earth, and the new Jerusalem, that's Revelation 21:1 & 2, that's prophecy yet to be fulfilled.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's efforts for peace in the Middle East could lead to the rebuilding of the next Jewish Temple

Listen to Today's Program

JD: And is it a viable possibility another Arab nation who is willing to normalize relations?

WM: Let's take a step back and remember at the end of January President Trump proposed a peace to prosperity plan. Another opening came as we saw with the United Arab Emirates leading perhaps one or two other Arab nations coming closer. Mr. Pompeo felt he had to be a personal face to face meeting with Netanyahu to find out exactly how this relationship between peace, America and Israel is going to precede on all fronts.

JD: I was reading a comment from Yehuda Glick. Now he used to be the executive director of the Temple Institute the people preparing to build the next Temple. Then he compared Solomon's Temple which was the first Temple on the Temple Mount. It followed a peace agreement with Tyre, that's the Biblical name for modern day Lebanon. He said that peace today with the Arab states may be setting a time when they could rebuild the Temple and is that a viable possibility as well?

WM: If we go back to the Bible we see that the king of Tyre Hiram engaged in commercial enterprises with the kingdom of Israel at the time in which if I'm not mistaken trees and other implements were imported from Lebanon is basically a form of ancient commercial interest in pursuits of peace. So there is a precedent for this and as long as Jewish rights are recognized and the possibility of rebuilding the Temple Mount and until then at least Jews praying there become a part of a peace process with normalized relations with the Arab world I'm all for it and I think a lot of people would be for it then some of what we're seeing develop over the past few weeks.

JD: Winkie Medad with the details behind why peace in the Middle East could indeed lead to the rebuilding of the next Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. 

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

History tells us that Solomon's Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem, that Solomon's Temple was built after a peace agreement between Tyre, modern day Lebanon, Tyre and the Jewish people. There are those who believe that set a precedent. I'm not sure if that is a precedent but it is Bible prophecy. The antichrist confirms a peace agreement in the Middle East, Daniel 9:27, then gives permission to the Jewish people to build their Temple, that's Daniel 11:45. Both of these prophecies will be fulfilled. 

The United States is calling for a Middle East regional peace conference

Listen to Today's Program

JD: David there's a report out that the United States is planning a Middle Eastern regional summit because the wheels of peace have began to turn. Is that a possibility? Could there be a Middle Eastern regional summit on peace with the Arab states and the Jewish State of Israel?

DD: There could but the Israeli's right now are not pushing for that because they are dealing with their internal political crisis and the coronavirus continues to spread. It's actually the first time it has hit the Gaza Strip this week and they have a lock down going on there. But it certainly is an American goal and it's not just President Trump but Joe Biden said he would pursue the same sort of thing. 

Jimmy we have the regional instability going on. We had clashes on the northern border between Lebanon and Israel this week with Hezbollah shooting at an Israeli soldier. It was a sniper fortunately they didn't kill him or hit him. But that sparked some action. We have Shia-Sunni conflict growing in Lebanon. We had clashes on Thursday a four hour battle south of Beirut so that is growing. We had a terror attack in Israel. We had more balloons from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel and Israel responding with air strikes. So all of this military action going on along the edges mostly sponsored by Iran. And really until that situation Iran's desire to destroy Israel, to wipe it out and to arm and weaponize the whole area until that's dealt with any regional peace deal or accord is going to be rather not meaningless but it won't really bring final peace because that is the main war issue that we're dealing with. 

As we mentioned last week though the king would be Saudi Arabia but because of their old religious holy sites of Islam primarily they feel they have to be a little slower and more careful in that way. Then there's no chance of getting Iran or even now Turkey, Hamas, Hezbollah on board any sort of a peace trend.

JD: David Dolan with the details on the call by the United States for a Middle East regional peace conference. 

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

Dave's report on the American call for a Middle East regional peace conference fits right into the prophetic scenario that is found in Bible prophecy. To start the clock ticking on the seven year Tribulation period in the future there will be a peace confirmed by the Antichrist between Israel and their Arab neighbors, that's Daniel 9:27. With all the recent talk about peace in the Middle East the stage is set for God's program for peace in the Middle East.
