A number of high profile Christians say that they are walking away from the faith

Listen to Today's Program

JD: A string of fairly high profile men who have just seemed to walk away from ministry and the faith in recent months.

DJ: Well that's true. Last year John Steingard who was a leading vocalist for Hawk Nelson a Canadian Christian rock band. They announced on social media that he no longer believes in God and saying it didn't just happen over night. I remember back in 2019 Joshua Harris the author of the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye. That sent shockwaves through evangelical Christian community after he said he was no longer a Christian. A few years ago high profile Hillsong Pastor in New York City Carl Lentz who famously baptized Justin Bieber. He ended up in serious problems. Jerry Falwell Jr is involved with multi million dollar scandals and of course that's not even to talk about Ravi Zacharias which we haven't touched on but which has really caused trauma for millions of people.

JD: Boy this is very very sad. And David from a Biblical prospective you need to talk with us. What are we to make of someone who walks away from the faith?

DJ: Well Jimmy I've been in ministry for almost 35 years and it never gets any easier as you know. It usually leads to a lot of introspection about what could have been done differently. It leads to questions about whether or not such a person was truly a believer to begin with. And we're always searching for answers to make sure it doesn't happen again and we try to put up barriers in place. It seems like its the one you never see coming that hurts the worst. It's no different then in the family when you have two children and one goes off the rails while the other continues to love the Lord. Jesus had the same situation with Judas he selected 12 and one of them had a devil. Jesus was the one who picked the person who was to be trusted the keeper of the purse. The bottom line is we just can't live a life of suspicion concerning who the next one will be the fall. We responsibly trust people, take them at their word, we love them and give them an opportunity to come back to the Lord. If they fall remember Paul says if someone falls you are a spiritual restore that one in a spirit of neatness and humility. 

JD: David James with some details on high profile Christians who say that they have lost the faith.

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

David's report is very troubling but let me give you several verses of Scripture that will help us to know for sure that we are saved and forever. That's I John 5:11-13. The devil can cause you to doubt but God's word is absolute. 

International world leaders are hoping that the upcoming Palestinian elections will be cancelled

Listen to Today's Program

JD: I understand there's about a 90% chance they will not happen. What's the latest?

IM: It's quite ironic what's happening. The international community was pressuring the Palestinian Authority to be a democracy. There has not been elections since 2006 when Abbas was elected to a 5 year term. So it's a little bite absurd and they're giving them literally millions of dollars every year to promote democracy and the Palestinian Authority has turned into a dictatorship. 

The international community pressured the Palestinian Authority to have elections. Now what happened is because the Palestinian Authority is so corrupt Hamas turned out to be more popular in the public opinion polls recently. Not only were they more popular but Fatah which is the ruling party and supposedly the moderate party Fatah has split into three different groups so now the international community who is pressuring the Palestinian Authority to have elections is actually hoping that they cancel the election. They're afraid that having a Hamas leadership of the Palestinian Authority. They won't be able to give them financial support anymore and that will really isolate the Palestinian Authority. 

So what's happening now is the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas he can't say he's canceling the elections because he's so far behind in the polls. So what he's done has created this issue. He won't have elections if Israel doesn't set up six polling stations for Palestinians in East Jerusalem. He's using this as an excuse and in all likelihood he will blame the cancelation of elections on Israel for not allowing the voting in Jerusalem. The irony is that the European who would ordinarily probably have been furious with this in the end they're probably going to be happy that he's not having elections because they don't want to lose on their willing to support.

JD: Itamar Marcus explaining why the international community does not want Palestinian elections to go forward.

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

After much pressure on the Palestinian Authority from the United States and the European Union to have elections among the Palestinian people they now have great concerns about these upcoming elections. The concern is that the radical element of the body politic of the Palestinian people will come to power. However the truth be known both factions of the Palestinian people are radical. In fact that radicalism is what the ancient Jewish prophets said would be the case for the Palestinian people the edomites of yesteryear in the last days, that's Malachi 1, Ezekiel 35, and the little book of Obadiah. These prophetic scenarios are about to be fulfilled. 

China, in its effort to rule the world, is ready to take over Taiwan

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The Senator from Arkansa who made the statement that China is ready to take over Taiwan and the United States had better make it clear whether they're going to defend Taiwan or not. What do you think the situation is going to develop into? Could it be a war or will China back down?

KT: Well look the Chinese are threatening war. They're being pretty clear about this. They have been flying fighter bombers over Taiwanese airspace and over the island and claiming they are flying over sovereign Chinese territory. They have been building up their amphibious assault forces to be able to launch an assault on Taiwan. They are calling the over flights of Taiwan as combat drills. Even their air craft carrier has been steaming along the side of the island. What does the United States do? Not an awful lot and not really talk about it much, not really talk to the Chinese much, not deploy our own naval forces as a deterrent. 

Again I think the Russians and the Chinese are coordinating their operations here. I think they are testing the Biden Administration to see if they will be strong or not and they are finding they are not particularly strong. So this is a real problem. I believe weakness always leads to war. You know this is serious business here and we just don't see a serious business from the Biden Administration. That's why I think you have someone like Tom Cotton who is a serious Senator a former service men who served in Iraq saying we need to make it absolutely crystal clear that we will defend Taiwan. That Taiwan is an ally of the United States and we have not made that clear at all.

JD: Ken Timmerman explaining how China is going to take over Taiwan even in light of America's opposition. 

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

China referred to as one of the kings of the East, Revelation 16:12, will be in partnership with the antichrist in the last three and a half years of the Tribulation period, that's Revelation 16:13-16 and 13:16 & 17. This partnership with antichrist will allow China to be the superpower, militarily, and economically that they want to be able to be today. God's prophetic word will be fulfilled.

Israel is under attack externally from Syria and internally from the Palestinians

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Do you believe that Syria purposely targeted Demona in this attack that happened just the other day?

DD: Well Jimmy I can only quote the experts really because not being on the scene and not being inside the command center etc. it seems growingly likely. US General McKenzie actually said this in the Senate on Thursday in some testimony about another issue that the Syrians accidentally sent a F-5 rocket down into southern Israel. In other words they fired it but it is now believed they were trying to hit some Israeli jets that they believed were coming up to Damascus to strike some Iranian targets and maybe some Syrian targets there and that the rocket overshot and came into Israeli airspace.

JD: David, talk to me about the situation there in the Old City of Jerusalem, extremist Jews and Arabs going after each other. What's the latest on that?

DD: Yeah Jimmy it's been the worst riding in Jerusalem in some time over the past really 10 days but its intensified in recent days. And I might add not just in Jerusalem there were riots over night on Friday in towns around Tel Aviv and Jaffa in particular. So it's spreading to different parts of the country but most intense in Jerusalem. As I said last week it started when the police ordered Muslims not to lounge around in the steps to the Damascus gate area. They were just sitting there and especially with Ramadan some were sitting up all night. They asked them to go home and that started protest. Then right wing Jews as you said young people, young guys in particular came out to enforce that and there's been clashes between the two sides ever since. So a intense situation. 50 people in fact were arrested on Friday alone. But Jimmy the prayers at the Temple Mount the Muslim prayers did go off peacefully. There was a great deal of concern those would be riots as well but that didn't take place. 

JD: David Dolan explaining how Syria and the Palestinians are both attacking the Jewish state. 

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

David Dolan's report reveals to us the conflict in the Jewish state from Syria externally and from the Palestinians internally. This conflict is a page from the prophetic passages of God's word Daniel 11:40 and Ezekiel 35:5. The scenario unfolding in an effort to try and destroy the Jewish state of Israel will not be successful. 

NASA has announced they have made an historic flight over Mars with their helicopter as they are looking for signs of life on Mars

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The flight of the drone on the planet Mars they did that by remote control. Boy that was a very efficient scientific activity was it not?

DD: Well that is interesting Jimmy that they could pull that off on a far away planet. It's the first time they've been able to get in the air on another planet with this drone or helicopter to look around a little bit.

JD: I understand that what they are looking for is some sign of life that they may be able to prove there was life in many millions of years ago there on Mars. Now of course you and I would not agree with that number many million of years ago. But let me ask you, as a scientist and as an astronomer do you believe there's going to be able to find any sign of life on Mars?

DD: Well you know Jimmy during this entire space age and there's been a lot of looking around and a lot of probes. There's no evidence of life anywhere else other than the Earth where of course we have abundant life. So it becomes more and more clear that God has especially prepared this Earth and filled it with all kinds of creatures and including people as well. You know He has His own purposes for space but certainly no aliens and no evolved life out there.

JD: Don why is, why are the scientist endeavoring spending just billions of dollars to try to find some sign of life out there on those planets? What's driving these people?

DD: Well that certainly does go on and on. I was counting them up Jimmy that there's been 49 probes to Mars looking at lots of other details but always with that idea of finding martians, finding life. Of course missing the big picture of the Creator who is all around us. So I think that's kind of the idea to search for some kind of comradeship out there and also to look for evidence for evolution. After all if it did happen spontaneously on Earth then it should have happened many other places and of course that's what we do not find. 

JD: Dr. Don DeYoung an astronomer explaining why NASA will not be able to find any sign of life on Mars. 

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

Dr. DeYoung a scientist, an astronomer as I have already said is at the same time a Bible believing born again Christian as well. It's on the authority of God's word that Dr. DeYoung says Earth is the planet which God the Father sent His son Jesus Christ to deliver salvation, that's Isaiah 45:18.

The Jewish people have departed three times from the land that God gave them, today they are in their third return to that land

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Independence Day has been about Israel's return to the land at this time in history. So remind everybody David what we do know about the circumstances surrounding Israel's last departure and how does the final return relate to future events?

DJ: Well Jimmy the third departure was because of the Roman General Titus who was the son of the Emperor Vespasian and he laid seas to Jerusalem for five months in 70 AD and he destroyed the city and leveled the second Temple and that was foretold by Gabriel in Daniel 9:26. Jesus also foretold this in Matthew 24 when he told his disciples a surly I say to you not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be thrown down. 

Even after Israel's religious leaders conspired with the Romans to kill Jesus and Jesus arose from the grave and ascended into heaven as we know Peter still offered the kingdom to the nation in Axes 2 and again in chapter 3 when he says this, repent therefore and be converted that your sins maybe plotted out so the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord. And actually Israel's final return was prophesied in the Land Covenant in Deuteronomy 30:4 & 5 where we read you are driven out from the farthest parts under heaven from there the Lord your God will gather you and God will bring you to the land your Father's possess.

In the Davidic Covenant in II Samuel 7 we read this, I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them and they may dwell in the place of their own and move no more nor shall the sons of wickedness suppress them anymore. So Jimmy Israel's full re-gathering will be during the Tribulation and all the Covenant promises to them all will be fulfilled during the millennia and they will be able to celebrate true independence while depending fully on their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, their Messiah.

JD: David James explaining the third return of the Jewish people to the land that God has given them. 

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

The Bible tells us that during the 4,000 year history of the Jewish people they will depart their land that God had given them three times and return to that land. Today the Jews are in the third return which is the last one according to the Bible. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel foretold this return some 2,500 years ago in Ezekiel 34. This return is tangible evidence that we are in the days of the Rapture.

The religious element of the body politic of the Jewish State of Israel is refusing to take the Corona Virus vaccine

Listen to Today's Program

SR: Jimmy I begin to note the nation of Israel because the leading nation in the world in regard to taking this vaccine was Israel. Back in December Benjamin Netanyahu went on the record of saying that he had agreed to enter into an agreement with Pfizer that in his words, in Netanyahu's words that Israel would be the laboratory. He used those words. The laboratory for the clinical trail effectively of this what they would call the vaccination. 

When I read it I thought that's a very strange thing Netanyahu. Why in the world are you entering into an agreement? How can you do that first of all with your people. His goal was "we're going to demonstrate to the world that we are courageous and bold and we are going to step up and take this vaccine, we'll become the most vaccinated country in the world and we will lead the nations of the world back to normalcy." I thought I don't like the sound of that because when I think of Israel there's no man that has led Israel to prominence but God Himself has been the defender and the leader to Israel. The only reason they're there now is because of God Himself not because of any one individual. I thought that was kind of an arrogant statement.  After that fact now we know that about 70% of Israelis have been vaccinated. But the only group that has not taken it that has really resisted it has been the ultra religious, the Orthodox, and those in Mecca. The religious Jews have said no we cannot. They have resisted strongly. 

Israel has already proceeded to the point of what they call a green passport. It's a proof of vaccination. They are implementing it to the point now that if you do not have your vaccination then we will prevent you from going to a whole host of other areas that people would normally go to. You cannot go. The result of that is you have many Israeli's stepping up.

JD: Sam Rohrer explaining the fact that the religious Jews many of them in Israel are refusing to take the Corona virus vaccine.

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

It is very interesting to me that religious Jews in particular those in Israel are refusing the Corona virus vaccine. They fear what may happen in the future to those who take the vaccine. In light of that I would remind you of Revelation 7 which reveals that God will select 12,000 Jews, male virgin Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel, a 144,000 of male virgin Jews to go across the world preaching the gospel of the Kingdom during the seven year Tribulation period. My question, could those refusing to take the vaccine be a part of that 144,000? 

While Israel is destroying an Iranian nuclear facility, the United States is negotiating with Iran to allow them to attain a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Ken I want to talk about what the Foreign Minister of Iran is saying that Israel made a very bad gamble with a blast at their nuclear plant. It was a very interesting move they made against Iranian nuclear program wasn't it?

KT: Well it was Jimmy. I suggested that Israel would intervene to stop a nuclear program in a non kinetic manner meaning not by using its air craft to bomb nuclear facilities but by disabling them in other ways. They used a small explosive device strategically placed to knock out the power. The reason the power is so important when you knock out the power to these advanced centrifuges remember they're turning at something like 10,000 revolutions a minute. They go very very fast. When the power suddenly fluctuates or goes out it can crash the centrifuges and if the centrifuges crash with uranium inside of them you then have a nuclear spill.

JD: You know as that is all going on the United States along with many of the European partners are there in Europe sitting at the table with the Iranians but the European powers are warning Iran that they're fait of the talks is based upon of what they just have done making 60% pure enrichment of Uranium. But I don't know if the United States is even standing with these European powers do you?

KT: Well that's a very good question actually because the US is more intent on getting Iran in some kind of nuclear deal then they are in actually making sure the Iranian's don't break these guidelines. The Biden team is very eager to lift the restrictions on the flow of Iranian capital and the sale of Iranian oil. And I find this is very dangerous. The Europeans are more concerned about the security threat from Iran then the US government is.

JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on the Israeli attack on an Iranian nuclear facility even as the United States is negotiating with Iran to allow them to have a nuclear weapon of mass destruction.

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

The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel foretold that Iran would be a major threat to the Jewish state of Israel in the last days. With America seemingly helping that to happen Iran could become that threat and very very soon. God's end of times plan will come about quickly.

Ramadan in Jerusalem and Palestinian elections upcoming could mean trouble for the Jewish State

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Ramadan is a special month of fasting for the Islamic people. The first prayer of Ramadan taking place this week and thousands of Muslims up on the Temple Mount. Should it be calm or should we expect something to come out that would possibly help the Islamic world try to defeat Israel in this month of Ramadan?

DD: Well Jimmy as you said the first Friday prayers of the month long celebration/commemoration of ancient Islamic history went off peacefully on the Temple Mount and in Jerusalem. During the week some police were injured, some Palestinians were injured. But on Friday itself that was the largest gathering on the Temple Mount again since the Coronavirus struck over a year ago 70,000 Muslims said. But they gave 10,000 permits to Palestinian Muslims who had been vaccinated. They had to prove that first. The rest were Israeli Arabs or residents of Jerusalem. But we're hoping it will continue to be peaceful but as you know Ramadan is usually a time of enhanced agitation and trouble. 

JD: Palestinian elections are upcoming and I understand there's a number of actual terrorists who are running for political office in the Palestinian Authority. Can you update us on that?

DD: Well yes and that's typical of the Palestinian society. They name squares and schools and other things after these suicide attackers and other terrorists. Well as you said some that are alive have announced they're candidacy for Parliament. Those elections are scheduled to take place sometime in May. Yeah, they are apparently free to do so. There's no holds on them. They continue to want to see Israel's destruction and even elect some very radical people. Again the worry in Israel is with the Hamas movement will once again take a majority of Parliament seats and maybe then be able to take over Judea and Samaria at some point. That is Israel's worst nightmare. 

JD: David Dolan explaining the problem that may arise for the Jewish state because of Ramadan and the upcoming Palestinian elections. 

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

Dave's report drew attention to the month long fast in the Islamic world of Ramadan and how that Islamic holy month coupled with the Palestinian elections upcoming could cause trouble predicted in Bible prophecy. That would be the book of Ezekiel 35, Malachi 1, and the little book of Obadiah. These prophecies could be fulfilled very soon.

The Jewish State has a unique history from the Roman Empire until today

Listen to Today's Program

WM: The short story that you request is that when the Jewish common wealth was finally ripped from any political, economic, and military ability by the Romans for the second time in 135 Jews never stopped living in the land of Israel and trying to come and immigrate to it no matter what the conditions were and which foreign occupier whether it was Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, Crusader, Mamluk, or Ottoman Empire that ruled this area. We always were coming here. The Jewish people around the world always contributed money to the various projects here. So when in the late 19th century as you noted anti-Semitism specifically Russian and East European began to be a pressing issue. 

A fellow by the name Theodor Herzl a Vietnamese Austrian Jew said its enough prayer, its enough pining, its enough reciting Psalms or other books of the Bible that are called to us like Lamentations or Isaiah or Ezekiel. Not just read about it but let's do something. He formed a political movement which we now know today as Zionism. That movement in World War I gained the recognition of Balfour who was the Prime Minister. He issued a declaration which then led to the San Remo Conference which evidentially in 1922 brought about the League of Nations decision that the Jewish homeland in its historical entity would be re-establish and re-constituted. 

JD: Winkie Medad with the history of Israel from the times of the Roman Empire until today.

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

Winkie's history lesson from the times of the Roman Empire until the Jewish State of Israel today is a testimony of God's faithfulness to the Jewish people which is absolute. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37 & also in Ezekiel 34 is a revelation of God's end of times plan for a Jewish state to be on the seen. A Jewish state in our world today is the most significant sign of fulfillment of Bible prophecy. 

Anti-Semitism is the cause of the killing of millions of Jews in the past and in the future as well

Listen to Today's Program

JD: We know that the Holocaust is a direct consequence of anti-Semitism. David how would you trace the source of anti-Semitism Biblically?

DJ: Anti-Semitism I would say is a direct result of what we could call Satan's war against God. This war began when Satan the highest of God's angels at that time known as Lucifer. He was a beautiful and powerful cherub and he first rebelled against God as described in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. And again known as Lucifer before his fall this powerful angel decided that he would set himself above God.

The reason Lucifer became angry and prideful was that God made Adam a mere human someone less powerful to be God's regent over the creation instead of Lucifer. So he became God's adversary which is exactly what Satan means in Hebrew. In Genesis 3:15 after the fall of Adam and Eve God warned Satan that an offspring of the woman would defeat him. There was an attempt to prevent that when fallen angels tried to corrupt the entire human race as recorded in Genesis 6. God spared only the uncorrupted family of Noah and his wife and his three sons and their wives. One of his sons was named Shem and we get the word Semitic from his name. 

Because of the language of judgment at Babel the world was divided into many nations and God raised up a new nation through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who were descendants of Shem and this became God's chosen people Israel. So Satan focused his attention against the Israelites because they were God's chosen people and it quickly became clear that it was God's intention for Israel, the Jews to rule the world through a descendant of David the Messiah, the redeemer, the Savior, the one who would defeat Satan fulfill Genesis 3:15. So this is what anti-Semitism about. Satan using people in his war against God and His chosen people.

JD: David James with the details of the origins of anti-Semitism.

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

David's history lesson on anti-Semitism helps us to understand the cause for the Holocaust of World War II and at the same time gives us the reason that God's word calls for another Holocaust in the future, that's found in Zechariah 13:8. And at that time two out of every three Jews will be killed during the Tribulation period yet future. We must warn Jewish people of the time of Jacobs trouble to come. 

Is the Pope Catholic?

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Now this is a great newsletter.

MG: It really keeps people up to date on what's coming out of the Vatican. We know that we're in the end times and many people believe that the Roman Catholic Church is mystery spiritual Babylon. This article that we're going to talk about today is actually an article that really shows Pope Francis to be the most influential false prophet in the world today.

JD: What I thought I would do is simply ask the same questions that you asked in the article and get you to answer. So let me begin with that first one.

Is the Pope Catholic?

MG: Well the reason that is a viable question today is that many of the Pope's bizarre and continuous statements have not only gone against the Bible but also they've gone against historic Catholicism. So we do ask the question is the Pope really Catholic because many of the higher clergy, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church have a problem with him refuting historic Roman Catholicism. 

JD: In your opinion then Mike, is the Pope humble?

MG: Well he wants to portray himself as humble. When he first took the office he refused to live in the palace. He instead chose to live in a guest room. But when you really look at what he has done. He's stolen the titles given to the Tryon God. So you wonder how anyone can declare themselves to be humble when he declares himself to be Holy Father, there's only one Holy Father, The Lord Jesus, pray to him and His high priestly prayer. And the Pope also steals the title of head of the church. A church that he did not die for as the true head of the church the Lord Jesus Christ did. He also wears the title Vicar of Christ, Jesus said I must go but I will send someone in my place. He was referring to the Holy Spirit. So he has stolen the three titles reserved for the Tryon God. That is a very arrogant and proudful position to take and so he is not a humble man.

JD: Mike Gendron explaining why the Pope may not be Catholic and surly is not humble.

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

Mike's report reveals that the Pope may not be Catholic and is not a humble man since he steals all the titles for the Holy Trinity and applies them to himself. We must understand this truth about the Catholic Church and remember Bible prophecy applied to that Church is given by God in Revelation 17. That is not what the church says it is however what God's word says and God's word is absolute and will be fulfilled.

Israel at 73 is a fulfillment of Bible Prophecy

Listen to Today's Program

JD: One week after Holocaust Remembrance Day, Independence Day the celebration of the 73rd birthday of the Jewish State of Israel. That's another very special day to Jewish people isn't it?

WM: Yes of course. It is in fact the opposite end of the pole of Holocaust Day. We are free. We are liberated. We're able to have an army, a government, a judiciary and that's the way it should be. A family of nations. One nation earning the respect for what we were able to do. And so therefore one week after Holocaust Day we enter into Independence Day with joy and with celebration.

JD: Winkie, this morning I was reading in my quiet time Isaiah 42:6 where it says that Israel will be a light onto the nations. And indeed Independence Day marking I do believe at least partial fulfillment of what God promised the Jewish people a land where all the Jews could come and live and a kingdom in the future. Fulfillment of prophecy, nothing better than tangible evidence and that's what Independence Day is. Do you not believe that?

WM: I do believe that. If I may be proud of Israel this past year our performance during the Covid-19 crisis and our ability to overcome to a great extent this pandemic and to show the nations of the world a proper way out of it I think is admiral and is Biblical and its proportions of man kind confronting a global crisis with belief in ourselves that of course comes from the Bible and its prophecies about what Israel is to be to the nations of the world.

JD: Winkie Medad with the details on Israel's 73rd birthday, a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

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

May 14, 1948 marked the day that God fulfilled His promise to the Jewish people and made a Jewish nation with these Jews which had survived the Holocaust of World War II. World War I prepared a land for a people and World War II prepared a people for that land. That was a fulfillment of Ezekiel chapters 37 & 34. The ancient prophet Ezekiel also foretold of an alignment of nations trying to destroy the Jewish State, that's Ezekiel 38. One prophecy has been fulfilled the other is about to be fulfilled.

As America negotiates with Iran, Israel prepares to attack Iran

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Would Israel dare at this time to do a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program to develop a nuclear weapon of mass destruction. What would you say?

DD: Well Jimmy we again had more actual action this week on the ground. The shadow wars it's being called continues between Israel and Iran. Israeli air craft and missiles especially launched from Israel and over Lebanon. Air borne missiles struck Iranian weapons positions near Damascus airport late Tuesday night once again. That same day they are reported to have struck an Iranian ship that belongs to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It's a cargo ship and has been stationed permanently for three years now at the Southern Red Sea where it monitors all passing traffic, Israeli boats going in and out and others. Some mines struck it apparently and put some holes in it. Didn't sink it but did some damage. The Iranians blamed Israel for that. The Israel Defense Minster not confirming that but he did say that Israel continues to watch everything Iran is doing and sees its movements towards war, see its growing aggression in the area and is trying to curve that by these regular on going actions that could spark a full war at anytime. 

Meanwhile of course the talks in the Europe began again over the nuclear agreement that several nations signed with Iran and the United States pulled out of. The Israeli's also condemned the receptions of those talks saying the Prime Minister did whatever agreement is signed won't be worth the paper it's on. So they very much see Iran as continuing to be their number one threat.

JD: David Dolan explaining that Israel is preparing to do a preemptive strike on Iran and its nuclear weapons program.

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

Today Israel's number one enemy is the Islamic Republic of Iran but at the same time America is negotiating with Iran to allow this Islamic Republic to develop a nuclear weapon of mass destruction that could be used to destroy the Jewish State. The Psalmist King David pre-wrote history in Psalm 83:4 where he foretells of an alignment of nations that want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth so that her name will be forgotten forever. That plan contradicts God's plan and will not happen.

Russian military personal are massed at the Ukrainian border which could lead to an all out war

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Talk to me about what's happening there in the Ukraine, Russia massing troops and even armor there at the Ukrainian border. Does that mean war or what's going on?

KT: Well this is very serious Jimmy, a very serious build up of Russian military material, Russian ground forces on the border. The Ukrainian's also have been building up their arm since the 2014 war which they pretty much lost in 2015. Look, this is a big escalation. Its fanning the flames has been President Biden and his Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who seems to be binned with each other to urge the Ukrainians on. What people fear and what most military analysts fear now is some kind of provocation, either a phony provocation by the Russians that would look like a Ukrainian attack that would then justify them to go into Ukrainian territory from Eastern Ukraine. Or an actually Ukrainian attack against the Russians. This is a very hot hot situation. 

US troops in Europe in European command are top level of alert which means they are awaiting imminent conflict. So this is a very very serious situation. Our Secretary of Defense this past week pledged the Ukrainian Defense Minster that the United States would support them if they were attacked with everything that we've got. Now wait a second, I didn't realize that Ukraine had joined NATO and that this was a NATO ally being attacked. Well guess what? They haven't joined NATO and it's not a NATO ally. It's outrageous for our Secretary of Defense to pledge that we will do everything we can to support them if they get into a conflict with Russia over disputed territory in the Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine. So this is very serious.

JD: Ken Timmerman explaining why the Russian military at the Ukrainian border may lead to an all out war.

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

As Ken concluded his report he said this is a very serious situation with Russian troops at their common border with the Ukraine. Remember the Ukraine is not mentioned in Bible prophecy however Russia is a major player in God's prophetic scenario, that's Ezekiel 38:2. Also remember that Russia has a major strong hold now in the Middle East and as you couple that with the potential for a full blown war there in the Ukraine you can see that this could be the spark to ignite the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. 

Cancel culture is attacking Christian Colleges and Universities

Listen to Today's Program

JD: This week an article written by Al Mohler caught our attention because it deals with how the cancel culture could endanger Christian institutions of higher learning.

DJ: Al Mohler is the President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Even though we would have some strong theological disagreements with him he is a student observer of culture I would say.  Last week he wrote an article titled "They're coming for Oral Roberts University and That Means They're Coming For You Too". Here's the background to the story, Oral Roberts was a Cinderella story in the NCAA playoffs this year when they made it to the sweet sixteen but that wasn't before there was a call for their exclusion on ideological grounds. 

Mohler was referring to an article by Hemal Jhaveri a race and inclusion edition for USA Today sports media group. When Oral made it to the sweet sixteen he wrote this, "Part of the joy of March Madness has always been watching smaller schools upset power house programs because everyone loves an under dog. People take their improbable run to heart and celebrate the tiny evangelical university in Tulsa, Oklahoma." Then she continued, "And yet as the spotlight continues on Oral Roberts and it reads the good will, publicity, and revenue of a national title run the University deeply bigoted anti LGBTQ plus policies can't stand and shouldn't be ignored." And finally she said that Christian school upholds a values and beliefs of its fundamentalist name sake making it not just a relic of the past but holy and compatible with the NCAA's own stated values of equality and inclusion. This thing is heating up and combined with the challenges and the shift to online learning due to Covid. I'm not sure how many schools are going to be able to survive if this starts getting tested because Christian schools aren't churches.

JD: David James with the details on how cancel culture is attacking Christian institutions of higher learning.

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

The story of Oral Roberts University making it to the sweet sixteen in the NCAA March Madness is tangible evidence of how this so called canceled culture is after any and all institutions that may claim to be Christian that would include universities, churches, and Christian ministries. Let me remind you that the culture does not dictate our lives and ministries. The word of God, the Bible directs our daily walk and lifestyle, that's II Timothy 3:16. 

God, in His plan for Nations, gave them borders when He brought them into existence

Listen to Today's Program

JD: Borders in the United States especially here at the southern border between the United States and Mexico, should it be a great concern to all of us?

SR: Jimmy absolutely and really for a couple of reasons. From a civil government prospective the definition of nation is this, its a group of people that have a common language and a common boundary. So if you take out any one of those you cease to have a nation. How can you have laws that pertain to a civil authority if you don't have the boundaries of what that civil authority is? The United States can't make laws for Mexico and Mexico can't make laws for the United States but if you erase the boundaries you create confusion. And I believe Jimmy and the end of the day that's why God created that. Now I think in Acts 17:26 when Paul was talking to the folks there on Mars Hill he made a comment he said, God has made a one blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the Earth, and I think this is key, determined the times before appointed and the boundaries of their habitations. 

You know boundaries are God's idea so on the spiritual side not only civil perspective are boundaries necessary to determine limitations, jurisdictions of civil authority which God created but from God's prospective. God established boundaries. God works through nations and in the fore knowledge of God He laid out as Paul said there the actual boundaries of the nations through whom God said He would work. So when any time anyone says I don't care about boundaries I'm going to eliminate or I'm not going to protect its really an efferent to the God of Heaven in addition to a violation of the civil laws of whatever country they represent.

JD: Sam Rohrer explaining how the Lord set up borders for the nations that He brought into existence. 

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

A former political leader Sam Rohrer in his use of the Bible in our decision today on borders and especially the southern border of the United States introduced to us how borders or boundaries are God's plan for our nations today, again that's Acts 17:26. And in fact borders play a key role in the plan that God has for Israel. Ultimately the Jewish State will have borders ten times what they are today. 

The United States Human Rights Report is good and bad for Israel

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The United States issue their annual human rights report. It looks like the Biden Administration has reaffirmed Jerusalem as the capitol of the Jewish State. Now that's good news isn't it?

WM: Yes it is. It seems they are going along with some of the language that the Trump Administration had improved upon over the past Administrations, that's correct. 

JD: And at the same time three affirming the fact that Israel has sovereignty over the Golan Heights which is a key security location.

WM: That is correct, although Jimmy they have replaced some of the language that had been switched by the Trump Administration. They're now back to using the term occupied. It's when these reports echo a lot of the ingos that frequently work on behalf of the Palestinian National Authority. They're agenda that they're pushing it sneaks their way into the State Department reports.

JD: Define that terminology occupied territories. 

WM: In international law when one state engages in hostilities of any kind and takes over territory of another state that's called belligerent occupation. It results from an act of war or hostility. They try to apply to Israel's administration over Judea and Samaria. That is wrong. Palestine never existed as a state. Secondly of course Israel has a better claim to Judea and Samaria because that was the territory the League of Nations recognized as the territory of the Jewish national home. So to use occupation and describe what Israel is doing in Judea and Samaria is simply wrong factually. 

JD: Winkie Medad with the details on the annual US Human Rights report some good and some bad for the Jewish State of Israel.

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

The United States Human Rights report reaffirmed that Jerusalem is the political capitol of the Jewish State and has sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Now that's all good however, the statement that Judea and Samaria is occupied territories is not Biblical. This is land that God promised the Jewish people and that's Ezekiel 34. In fact the land actually belongs to God, Leviticus 25:23. God has appointed the Jewish people caretakers of this land not occupiers. 

Thousands of Jews went up onto the Temple Mount during Passover which was a provocation to the Palestinians

Listen to Today's Program

JD: This last week the eight day Jewish Feast of Passover they had the pronouncement twice, two days, Monday and Wednesday of the Priestly Blessings there at the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem but at the same time I understand a number of Jewish worshipers were able to go up onto the Temple Mount during these very special Holy days. That was a victory as far as they're concerned but the Palestinian Authority says that is a provocation. What do we know about this entrance by the Jews up onto the Temple Mount?

DD: Well Jimmy the reports I've seen that several thousands of Jewish worshipers went up there. There were pictures of them in the newspapers of them actually holding prayer meetings. The Jews were up there in record numbers. And Jimmy on Friday the Palestinians were joined by Jordan in complaining about that. Jordan is the official representative for the Temple Mount according to the peace treaty that Israel and Jordan signed in 1994. They said this is violating the status quo that the status quo does not allow for any Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount. Jewish tourist can go up there in limited numbers but no prayer services nor for Christians they pointed out. So they're complaining about that. 

The Israeli's are saying in response well you know this is a site of our ancient Temple, this is our holiest site on Earth not Mecca, not Medina, not Rome, it's right here and we're going to allow prayer. But for the Israeli police to have not broken up those prayer meetings that were photographed was quite something Jimmy because in the past they always did that and now there is obviously a new policy and the Palestinians and the Jordanians and other Muslims just don't like it.

JD: David Dolan explaining why the Palestinians were provoked by thousands of Jews who went up onto the Temple Mount during Passover.

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

Dave's report of Jews on the Temple Mount during Passover and even praying on this sacred site in Judaism is what the Lord calls for in the Bible, Leviticus 23. God's word also foretold that the site would be the center of controversy in the last days, that's Zechariah 12:2. The fact be known that the Palestinians would be provoked by this Jewish worship on their most holy site, that's Obadiah verses 16-18. God's prophetic passages are in the process of being fulfilled.

There is an alignment of nations in the Middle East that was foretold some twenty-five hundred years ago

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The war torn country of Iraq its Prime Minister is seeking to boost ties in the first visit that they are going to have with Saudi Arabia. The Iraqis need some good help and assistance there in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia could be that help could they not?

KT: Well that's what the Iraqis are hoping but the Prime Minister has to really appease the Saudis and reassure them that Iraqi territory is not going to be used by Iranian proxies to attack them. So Prime Minister Al-Kadhimi the Iraqi really had to focus on that in his talks with the King and the Crown Prince. But much more important than what happened in the past is his promise that there will not be any attacks in the future and that's absolutely key in if he's going to unlock Saudi help for Iraq's failing economy.

JD: Information I want to find out from you about the warming relationships between Turkey and Egypt. Is this some type of a sign of shifting geo-political activities?

KT: Well a very early sign. Look remember this that Turkey broke off relations with Egypt in 2013 after Muhammad Al-Masri the Muslim brotherhood President was deposed in a popular revolution that ultimately led to brought General Al Sisi to power. So Turkey had been backing the Muslim brotherhood. The Turks sent a tug boat into the Suez Canal to help free up that enormous, that gigantic roll on roll off cargo ship that was stuck in the Canal and blocking traffic for many days. But this is something that is just starting to develop Jimmy. We'll have to keep eyes on this in the coming months. 

JD: Ken Timmerman explaining an alignment of nations in the Middle East which was foretold by the ancient Jewish prophets.

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

Four different ancient Jewish prophets foretold history over 2,000 years ago and today we see what Daniel, King David the Psalmist, John the Apostle, and the prophet Ezekiel said then coming together today. Ken's report mentioned Iraq and Saudi Arabia and that would be Revelation 18 for Iraq, Psalm 83:6 for Saudi Arabia. Ezekiel mentioned Turkey in Ezekiel 38:2 & 6 and Daniel 11:40 spoke of the Kings of the South that would be Egypt. God used these four prophets to reveal this prophetic scenario for the end times.

There is only one reason the Rapture has not happened

Israeli leaders say that this is not the time for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The Middle East Quartet they are now discussing and reviving the Israeli-Palestinian talks. David tell everybody what are the chances for them being able to bring the Israelis and Palestinians to the negotiating table.

DD: Well called the quartet because four powers that basically were very involved in the peace process over many many years and they had some success of having the parties together. But again Jimmy this just strikes most Israelis as ridiculous all of this talk right now because there's absolutely been no change on the Palestinian street. Hamas, the radical movement still controlling the Gaza strip and the PLO controlling Judea and Samaria for the most part but they are internally divided. Israel doesn't have a firm government so neither side is ready to sit down and negotiate peace. It just seems like a non starter to most Israelis and again they're preoccupied with Iran and the possibility of war with that power much more than they are worried about the Palestinians at present.

JD: You have told me before you don't think peace will be on the agenda for either the Israelis, the Palestinians or anyone else. Do you feel that same way as of today?

DD: Well again Jimmy there's just no ground reason by what the situation is actually in the Palestinian territories and in Israel to think this is the time to sit down and negotiate a peace accord. When Prime Minister Netanyahu was stronger they still weren't able to succeed in that and that's basically because the Palestinians want to see Israel destroyed or at least a lot of them do. They see the possibility of that happening happening with Iran and its allies gearing up for war. So we're waiting for war not really for peace at this time. It's sad to say that but that is the truth.

JD: David Dolan explaining why the Israelis are saying this is not the time for a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

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

David's report gives us a glimpse of reality in the Middle East today especially as it relates to the Palestinian conflict. This 4,000 year old conflict between Esau and Jacob has festered down through these millennia and it will not be resolved until the return of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. Obadiah verses 15-18 explain how the Lord will allow the Israeli Defense Force to resolve the conflict. The Palestinians will be destroyed as if they had never been.
