The Islamic Party of Israel says that there was never a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
JD: The Islamic party leader in Israel made a very interesting statement that the Temple Mount there in Jerusalem solely was property of the Moslem world. Again another wrong historic understanding.
WM: Of course Jimmy. The historic record is quite clear both in the Bible in extra Biblical historic references from the Roman period on all throughout the early Middle Ages and on. This was the site of the two Temples of the Jewish people. It was conquered by the Romans, the Babylonians perviously and then the Byzantine Empire. Then the Arabs came along and conquered Jerusalem and built a few buildings up there and claim it's all theirs.
We have the Western Wall which is propping up the entire Temple Mount. Why do you think the Jews built the Western Wall if not to make a platform for the Temple as we know its been recorded. And yet they sit up on top and claim that even the Temple didn't exist at this place. Such relatively intelligent people, both Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, and other Christians can be bamboozled by these claims and then we're stuck with no co existence, no sharing of sacred sites which maybe could even be on tray to more peaceful relations. They refuse and its an unfortunate situation.
JD: I don't know how a Christian could deny that there was a Temple on the Temple Mount in the times of Jesus Christ. Christians need to go back not only to the history books but to the Bible itself.
WM: They make up things, convince themselves that it's true, make a lot of noise and even violence and get people then to threaten Israel to be quiet. This is not how normal people should conduct religious, diplomatic, political fairs of state.
JD: Winkie Medad reporting on the statement from the leader of the Islamic party of Israel that there never was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
In order to be able to deny that there was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem you will have to deny the person of Jesus Christ and His ministry at the Temple in Jerusalem. In Mark chapter 11 we find the record of Jesus at the Temple during the time of the triumphal entry. In verse 11 it says Jesus went into that Temple. In verse 15 it reports that Jesus through the money changers out of the Temple. In verse 27 it says Jesus taught at the Temple. Deny the Temple and you deny Jesus Christ.

Under pressure from the Biden Administration the Palestinian leader Mahmoud urged Abbas has presented a list of demands that sound like a surrender for Israel
JD: Mahmoud Abbas has been urged by the Biden Administration to go back to the negotiating table to try to put together a two state solution. So the President of the Palestinian Authority put up a list of requirements to go back to negotiations and as I've read through them and even the Israeli's are saying this would be a decree for Israel's surrender. What are your thoughts about this list Abbas has put up?
DD: Well Jimmy it just reflects the continuing hardline, very hardline position from the Palestinian side as to any final solution frankly. Their version of that would be similar to Hitlers. Jews disappear, the Jewish state disappears. Basically they are asking for things that Israel could never agree to. Chief amongst them is that there would be no Israeli control in eastern Jerusalem over the Old City, the Temple Mount, the Jewish neighborhoods in the east of the city be turned over to the Palestinians.
Again its not just the PA. The PA is ruling Judea and Samaria but Hamas is ruling the Gaza Strip. The head of Hamas if he were to run for President of the Palestinian Authority he would absolutely defeat Abbas by about two-thirds the polls show. So he has to pay attention to their positions and their positions as I've stated many times are clear and their founding charter. They've never renounced it. This is Hamas. Israel must be totally destroyed there could be no peace with a Jewish state. A Jewish state is contrary to the Quran and has to disappear. So again the Biden Administration wanting to precede in talks apparently but the chances of there being any realistic solution at this time is just zero.
JD: David Dolan reporting the Palestinian demands for them to go to the negotiating table with Israel.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Under pressure from United States President Biden both the Israelis and the Palestinians are being pushed to go to the negotiating table to discuss a two state solution. The Palestinians made a list of demands for Israel that sounds like a decree of surrender for the Jewish state even before the two parties begin talks. This Palestinian list is mostly a no starter for the Israelis which means that the conflict will continue until Jesus returns, that's Malachi chapter 1.

Russia makes a move against Israel, related to Syria, that fits the Prophetic scenario of God's Word
JD: Vladimir Putin during the Benjamin Netanyahu Administration as Prime Minister had a deal with the Prime Minister that he would have a blind eye to any attacks by the Israeli Defense Force on Syria. Now it looks like Putin has made a decision to get rid of that deal and step away from it. Does that mean harm for the Israeli attacks on Syria if they need to have these attacks?
KT: Well what happened this past week and it's quite interesting, but what happened was the Israeli's launched an air strike up through the eastern part of Jordan near Altona which is the former US base there along the Jordan-Iraq-Syrian border. The Russian's then announced that they had shot down 7 of the 8 missiles launched by those Israeli aircraft against a Syrian weapons manufacturing plant. Now this is something the Russian's have not done in the past. They've pretty much given Israel a blank check to launch air strikes. When those air strikes have been against the Iranians, against Hezbollah, the Revolutionary Guards, or against Jihadi groups. But this seems to be an attack against a Syrian government defense production facility. So there's a couple of things I take away from this, either the Russians are saying look that's the red line, don't attack Syria itself they are our strategic ally. If you want to go after the Iranians that's fine with us but don't attack the Syrians.
Now this was obviously a deliberate leak in Moscow that they had shot down the missiles with some new Russian anti-missile systems based in Syria that Putin is saying to the new Israeli Prime Minister, "look I had a deal but it was a face to face deal with Benjamin Netanyahu". "If you want to continue doing this kind of thing as a state of Israel you have to come talk to me." "We do this fact to face and then will take it from there." So far Naftali Bennett hasn't met with Putin.
JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on Russia's latest move against Israel that fits the prophetic scenario of God's word.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has directed his military in Syria to stop Israeli air strikes on Syria. Putin had looked the other way in the past when Israel would strike a location in Israel's neighbor for the purpose of protection the Jewish state. Now Russia has stepped away from that for the purpose of protecting Syria, and by the way Syria will make the first move against Israel in the alignment of nations, that's Daniel 11:40.

It is time for the modern day men of God to stand up in the face of evil and stand against it
JD: Paul, as I've been listening to you coming to my mind was what Mordecai said to Ester. For such a time as this you have shown up with these ministries and we do need them at this time do we not?
PB: Oh absolutely. You know Jimmy, one of the things we commission directly if you look at Ephesians 5:1l. Paul tells the church to not have any fellowship, or take part of, or be party to, or I would say be a member of a party of the unfruitful works of darkness. He doesn't just stop there. He said we are also not only not to be part of them but we're to stand against them, to reprove them and to expose them. Well as you said while ago we're to occupy until the Lord comes. Our last marching orders are to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ and to point people to Salvation and stand against wickedness.
Quite frankly we haven't done the job that God has called us to do at least in by opinion over the last couple of decades. You know you look at the influence the church had when those new believers, you know Paul had only been there for about three weeks but had such an impact in their culture. The Pagans came together and accused them of trying to turn the world upside down.
You look at the influence of Christianity in Ephesus which was the epicenter of idolatry with the Temple of Diana. Christianity had such an impact in that destination site for idol worshippers that the silver smiths were complaining because their business was being so adversely affected because of the evidence of Christianity permeating the culture. You know we have 70% of the citizens of America claimed to be Christian or identify as Christian yet we can't even figure out that there's only two genders. You know we're allowing men to compete in women's sports, we have Mayors and Governors across the country issuing proclamations, celebrating LGBT pride month. Rather than two genders we now have a hundred and some odd genders and counting. I mean it's time that the modern day men of God, the modern day prophets stand up only in the face of evil and stand against it.
JD: Dr. Paul Blair a former NFL football player and now a pastor in Oklahoma calling for modern day prophets to stand up against evil in our world.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Dr. Blair has issued a challenge for preachers and modern day prophets to stand up against evil. The apostle Paul said before his death to preach the word not fables but the word of God. This is for a time when the world is turning away from the Bible, that's II Timothy 4:1-5.

Israeli efforts to build a bridge so Jews can enter the Temple Mount has caused havoc in the Moslem world
JD: David, a very interesting discussion going on in the Israeli Knesset. They're discussing access to the third Temple which will be on the Temple Mount in the future. Now it's not there at the present time however the entrance, the only non Moslem entrance to the Temple Mount has some real problems. It's about to fall apart. What can you tell us? What's the latest?
DD: That's the Mughrabi Gate in the southwest corner of the Temple Mount, above the women's section of the Western Wall prayer area. Its a temporary foot bridge. Intended to just be up there for a couple of years until a more permanent structure could be built. When it was announced that Israel would maybe begin work on a permanent structure havoc ensued in the Arab world screaming that Israel's Judaizing Jerusalem.
By the way Jimmy they discovered near there recently that they found part of the wall the Babylonians broke into in 586 BC. Hamas went ballistic over that and said you're again trying to steal the Arabic history of the city, there were no Jews here, there were no old walls and no Temple here and that sort of thing. So just replacing a foot bridge that is a dangerous structure. It really is, engineer's say not built to be a permanent bridge, not built to carry that sort of weight. To just say they're going to do that creates chaos. The new Bennett government says we have to do this. We could have hundreds of people on the bridge fall down onto hundreds of Fema worshipers below at the Western wall killing hundreds of people. So it has to be replace they're saying and we'll seeing what happens. But it just shows again anything touching Jerusalem, a fire cracker going off, it's a spark that can set a blaze very very quickly.
JD: David Dolan explaining how the Israeli outraged by the Israeli efforts to build a bridge for Jews to enter the Temple Mount.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Moslems claim that Israel is Judaizing the Temple Mount area because they want to build a permanent bridge for Jews to enter the Temple Mount. The Mughrabi Bridge today is falling apart and must be prepared before a disaster happens. This permeant bridge must be there for Jews to enter the Temple Mount when the Jewish Temple will stand on that Temple Mount, that's Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1&2.
July 21, 2021
Two Arab Nations are joining with Islamic Radicals
JD: Ken, I'm watching one particular nation very closely. The closest neighbor would be Jordan and now they're announcing they have aligned themselves with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
KT: Well there's been some very curious steps over the past couple of weeks by King Abdullah. I think it shows the desperation of the Jordanian government with their inability to respond to the Covid crisis, the economic crisis which has gripped the country. King Abdullah recently has not just been agreeing to sale Iranian oil through Iraq on the international market but he has also been promoting Shia Islam in Israel. It's a very very bizarre thing for him to do.
The King is apparently hoping to get some sort of financial assistance from Iran. But I really don't know what grave yard he's whistling past because the Iranians are dead broke. They can't even provide clean drinking water to suburbs of Teheran. Farmers in Iran have been protesting for weeks and weeks because they don't have enough water for their crops. So I don't know what he thinks he's going to get from the Iranian regime but I doubt its going to be the billions of dollars in aide that he's hoping for.
JD: Looks like we thought Islamic state was gone away but now they are regrouping there in Iraq. Give us the latest.
KT: Well again this is a story I've been reporting on on the ground in Iraq in recent years. ISIS is still there. They're not there in any kind of form or numbers that they were before. But they're in the mountains. Recently the Iraqi army has been chasing them. These are small groups of ISIS fighters but they are still there. They have no caliphate, they don't command territory. They're on the run. They're in hiding but they can still carry out small terrorist operations.
JD: Ken Timmerman with details behind how Jordan and Iraq are joining forces with radical Islamists.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Both Jordan and Iraq are mentioned in the prophetic scenario that is found in the Bible. Ken mentioned Jordan in his report which is described in Daniel 11:41 as Edom, Moab, and Ammon. These three Biblical people groups in Old Testament times are what we know as modern day Jordan. Can also refer to Iraq which in Biblical times was Babylon. Both of these Arab states today play a key role in the prophetic scenario in the future. Jordan during the first half of the Tribulation period, and Iraq as Babylon in Revelation 18. God's plan for the future is ready to be played out today.

The protest in Cuba of the Communist leadership may open the door for Biblical ministry to be expanded
JD: I thought it might be good for us to discuss the situation there in Cuba, and especially in light of the fact that actually you had an opportunity to go there fairly recently.
DJ: Well that's right Jimmy and this is the first time I've talked about that trip publicly. Back at the time I had mentioned in one of our weekly conversations on this program that I was going to a limited access country but for security reasons and privacy concerns I couldn't say much about it at the time.
A couple who has partnered with our ministry got connected with a Cuban pastor through Facebook. After interacting with him we felt comfortable enough to make arrangements to spend a couple of days with him. We were able to communicate well enough to get to know each other and to make some tentative plans for future ministry. One thing I was amazed about was how much theological agreement there was between us. We're on the same page.
JD: What can you tell our listeners about the present religious situation there in Cuba? Is there freedom of religion? How are born again believers affected by these government policies?
DJ: Well when the Spanish arrived in Cuba they forced conversions and that continues to influence Cuban cultures. So while 60 -70 percent of the population is Catholic only 4 - 5 percent regularly attend mass. Protestant Churches make up only about five percent of the population. During most of Castro's rule Cuba was self declared atheist state and Christians were persecuted and marginalized. Even though Castro himself was educated by the Jesuits he dismantled the Catholic school system in 1961 and nationalized the Catholic Churches property. But in the early 90's Castro did lift some restrictions on religion.
Religious organizations have to deal with government interference all the time. This is what the pastor told me that sometimes he even has to with infiltration by government informants. So there are tremendous challenges but maybe there is change on the horizon for the Cuban people with what we're seeing right now and maybe that will make it easier to get into the country and to reach them with the gospel and get more freedom to the pastors and believers there.
JD: David James with a report on the status of the Christian community in Cuba, a Communist Marxist dictatorship.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Dave's report is based upon his recent trip to Cuba and his meetings with the Christian leadership in Communist Cuba. I Timothy 2:1-4 exhorts us to pray for those in higher authority both in America and Cuba. We do that so that we can win people to Jesus Christ and prepare them for the end times.
July 19, 2021
The Jewish fast day Tisha B'Av, which is the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av , is the time of prayer when Jews pray for the building of the next Temple
JD: What's the historic background of Tisha B'Av?
WM: In our Judaism we have a heavy duty day on the 9th of Av. Like the fast day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the full 24 hours of no water, no food, most of the time saying prayers. It's because the fact that the Temples were lost which were like the jewel in the crown, the highlight of Jewish relationship between land, people, and God in Jerusalem which was the Temple. We continue to fast because we are a people with a very long memory.
JD: And all of these activities, praying at the different gates around the Temple Mount, reading the book of Lamentations, and of course fasting, creating a desire in the Jewish people for the rebuilding of the next Temple, correct?
WM: Absolutely. Although there is a story that we do not know if it is true or not. But I'll tell the tale to you and our listeners Jimmy. Napoleon was walking around one night in Paris and he heard this bewailing and crying coming from a corner building, he walked in and saw Jews sitting on the floor. He asked someone of authority what are you doing on the floor reading from the Bible the book of Lamentations and crying. They said well our Temple was destroyed. And he said when did it happen? I didn't hear about it. They said it happened a thousand years ago or so. Napoleon said a thousand years ago, twelve hundred years ago. A people that mourns in such a way the loss of the Temple which of course for us also means a loss of political sovereignty will yet regain both the Temple and its political sovereignty. So whether or not the story is true or not Jimmy as we know it does have a cornel of truth and Tisha B'Av was also a contributory factor in bringing Jews back to Zion.
JD: Winkie Medad and his report on the prayerful desire for the rebuilding of a Temple in Jerusalem.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
For 2,000 years Jews have been praying for their Temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. Each year on Tisha B'Av the prayer is for a Temple to stand on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem by next Tisha B'Av. Truth be known that Temple could be built very soon because every preparation has been made to build that Temple.
July 16, 2021
Any and all claims of people who have said they have gone to Heaven and then returned back to the Earth must be examined from not only a Biblical perspective but a medical perspective as well
JD: Do you deal with this just on a Biblical side or do you also get into the medical side as well?
DJ: Really I deal with both sides because I think they're connected. The first thing there's a difference between clinically dead and being dead in the Biblical since meaning your spirit has left your body. It would seem that the actual decay of the body doesn't start until the spirit leaves. Once you stop breathing your blood starts becoming acidic due to the build up of carbonic acid and before long that acid starts to punch through cell walls destroying tissue. Then also within 5 minutes of the blood flow stopping to the brain neurons and several brain regions start dying.
So its not just a matter of someone's spirit returning to their body after 10 minutes. God would have to miraculously repair all of the physical damage especially in the brain. From a Biblical prospective there are no spontaneous resuscitation of people coming back from the dead recorded in the Bible. Everyone was raised back to life through a prophet, or an apostle, or Jesus. Another problem is these don't just come from born again Christians. If everyone is going to Heaven then everyone who think Jesus is the only way of salvation is wrong in the Bible isn't true. Of the 25 or so accounts I have read no two people even Christians describe what they saw in the same way and they're often contradictory. This tells me that they can't all be going to the same place but on the other hand science said these perceived experiences can be explained by the bio chemical process that happen in the brain as it begins to shut down near death.
JD: David James explaining how we should examine any and all claims of those who say they have gone to Heaven and then returned to Earth.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Bible does record three events of people on Earth that have gone to Heaven. II Corinthians 12:2-4 is the record of Paul the Apostle going to Heaven and returning to the Earth. Genesis 5:21-24 reports that Enoch went to Heaven. II Kings 2:11 is a record of Elijah going to Heaven as well. Two of these men will return to Earth as the two witness of Revelation 11:2-14. Elijah and Enoch will be those two witnesses on the Earth during the first half of the Tribulation period.
July 15, 2021
Moslems and Catholics seem to be joining forces to form a worldwide dominion under Antichrist
JD: Pope Francis back in February of this year he was in Abaya Dubai and there he met with a Imam from the Sunni set of Islam the most important Imam in that set. They not only met but they signed a Covenant, a key Covenant that brings these two religiosity together. It sounds very prophetic to me so I wanted to talk to you about it.
MG: Well its a meeting that I believe will be the catalyst for the conversions of Islam and Roman Catholicism. But in the Catechism in the Catholic Church that came out of 1998 says the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator in the first place to amongst whom are the Muslims. So we wonder why would the Roman Catholic Religion single out Islam as a part of God's plan of salvation.
I think we can just expect that when you look at 1.3 billion Catholics and maybe 1.6 billion Muslims if you combine the two religions together that represents 3 billion people or about 40% of the world's population. So I believe as you see these two religions coming together the rest of the religions will follow suit to form a global religion that will one day worship Antichrist.
JD: They both have a desire for a worldwide dominion.
MG: Well it's true they both rule with a autocratic government. They have a history of forced conversions and killing those who oppose them. So its amazing that we know that the ultimate global government and global religion will but to death those who stand opposed to the global religion. So this may be a precursor, these two religions coming together indoctrinating people, intimidating them. Under the fear of death many will come to take the mark of the beast and worship the Antichrist.
JD: Mike Gendron with the details on an effort to form a worldwide kingdom under Antichrist.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Mike's report is a reflection of reality as the Pope works to pull together Islam and Catholicism. As we read from God's prophetic word the plan laid out for the future as foretold there in Revelation 17 is coming better into focus each and every day. Revelation 17 says that the Roman church is key to this prophetic scenario, Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, and Psalm 83 tells us of the importance of the Islamic world in the last days as well. The stage is set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

If the two factions of the Palestinian people unite it could be dangerous for the Jewish State of Israel
JD: There is that continuing conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians however the two factions of the body politic of the Palestinians, Fatah and Hamas saying they need to unite for the sake of a Palestinian state. If they do come back together do you believe there could be a Palestinian state?
DD: Well Jimmy there have been open talks going on as there have been for many years really. There's been a renewal of those in recent months with the announcement that there would be Palestinian elections which Abbas canceled after the opinion polls showed clearly that Hamas would win those elections. We've talked about the fact that subsequent polls after the short 11 day war in early June showed that Hamas is more popular then ever and they would absolutely trounce the Fatah party in Palestinian elections if they were indeed held.
So Hamas is becoming more and more powerful and more and more popular on the Palestinian street. The PLO knows that. If they want to remain, if they want to remain in power at all apparently you have to really get serious about talking with Hamas and recognizing their leading position. But of course as such a government is formed it kills the peace process, whatever is left of it anyway off entire basically since Hamas has not changed its charter call for Israel's complete destruction and they make that clear all the time. Heavily supported by Iran. So it would make a Palestinian state more possible in theory but less likely in reality because the Israeli's would do everything they could and will do everything they can to stop a Palestinian state headed by this radical movement that wants Israel's destruction. They'll just never allow that to happen Jimmy.
JD: David Dolan reporting what could happen if the two factions of the Palestinian people unite.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on for over 4,000 years since the time of Esau and Jacob in their mother's womb, that's Genesis 25:22 & 23. In recent years however the struggle has continued and now has become a struggle between the two factions of the Palestinian body politic, Hamas and Fatah. Both factions want to destroy the Jewish state of Israel and in fact that threat is closer than it has ever been, that's Ezekiel 35.

China is preparing for war with the United States
JD: Xi Jinping who is the President of course seems to be mobilizing China for a war and possibly with nukes. What can you tell us?
KT: Well Jimmy this has been building for a number of years. The Chinese have talked about the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist party that's this year but they also have said they would become the world's hegemon by the 100th anniversary of the Revolution, that would be 2049. I think what we're seeing now is an acceleration of that time table and its an acceleration based on many things. First, the Chinese have greater economic power then they might have forecast 20 years ago. Second, they have much greater military power and have been able to acquire cutting edge military technologies initially by stealing them and buying them from the US during the Clinton Administration. Today they're pretty much self sufficient in all of their military hardware. They're building a blue water navy to be able to challenge the US around the world, to keep us out of the South China Sea and other places. They have an air force which is increasingly capable and on a par with the United States.
President Xi has been telling his people that China is on the march. He's starting to use language which we've saw in the 19th century and before during the Emperors period of the Chinese domination where he's talking about everything in the world being under Chinese domination. I think this is what really precipitates this talk of a war breaking out has been reinforcement of Chinese troops along the Indian border in the Himalayas. The United States should be worried. We haven't heard a peep out of the Biden White House about this. But 50,000 troops on the razors edge with India up in those mountains is something to be extremely concerned about seeing as both countries are nuclear armed.
JD: Ken Timmerman with a report on how China is preparing to go to war with the United States.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
In main stream media there is much reporting on red China and its desire to be the number one in the world economically and militarily. China's main competition on that effort is the United States of America. China is more ready at this point in time while the United States military is going woke, not preparing to defend the nation. Bible prophecy reveals this scenario will play out that's China mentioned as the kings of the east in Revelation 16:12. Remember America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy.

People who take the Bible literally are bring accused of worshiping the Bible
JD: Is that a legitimate charge that they're making?
DJ: Well of course it's not a legitimate charge Jimmy. Not only is it not legitimate it's actually dishonest when those who claim to be Christian level that accusation. So it's not whether most take the Bible literally or not. For anyone to claim to be Christian that term itself comes from the Bible in Acts where Luke tells us the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Those who claim to be followers of Christ how do they know about him? Because while there are extra Biblical sources the majority of what's known about Christ comes from the Bible but that doesn't equate to worship.
I would dare say that most who say they're Christians do believe in the Resurrection and miracles but how are those scientific since they don't happen often and they involve the temporary local suspension of the laws of physics. Now some who identify as Christians do deny the Resurrection and other miracles while saying they just follow Christ's teachings about love and His example. But how do they have any idea what those are? Are they worshiping the Bible? So it's entirely a matter of picking and choosing for those making the accusation while we really do try and be consistent.
JD: How would you summarize your response to someone who accused you of worshiping the Bible?
DJ: Well Jimmy if someone is being accused by an unbeliever who doesn't even claim to be a Christian the starting place is not trying to argue with them about it but rather its sharing the gospel. I would say 37 years ago as a result of a coworker telling me that there were things about the Bible that I just wouldn't understand until I got stayed which is a paraphrase of I Corinthians 2:14 which says the natural man does not receive the things with the spirit of God for their foolishness to Him nor do they know Him because they are spiritually discerned. As soon as I was saved I started taking the Bible literally. The Bible is the word of God and not just a human book then it isn't biblically to believe everything it says on every subject it addresses. It's just a combination of faith and common sense.
JD: David James refuting the charges that people who take the Bible literally are actually worshiping the Bible.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
II Timothy 3:16 says that all scripture is given to us by inspiration of God. In other words the Bible is God breathed and it is very profitable to us. We get faith from hearing the word of God, Romans 10:17. Most importantly we learn how to live daily pleasing the Lord and we learn this from the Bible. And by the way all that we know about the future is known by reading God's word as well.
July 08, 2021
There is a new book that warns the United States is entering a unprecedented time of danger
JD: Now in the book you say that we are entering an unprecedented time of danger. What do you mean by that Bob?
BM: Well I think most Americans would agree that the last few years have been incredibly distributive in our lives and anxiety creating many of us are wondering if this will be the last time. The saber rattling we see from China to Russia, North Korea to Iran and so forth. I just think we're entering a unprecedented time of danger militarily, economically, morally, and politically. A very clear warning sign that very dangerous things are at our foot step.
JD: Take a moment now and briefly tell us what is marxism and how popular it has become here in the United States.
BM: Unfortunately people that are enamored I would argue naively about marxism don't understand it's a political philosophy about class struggle that basically says we're going to have a pre-distribution of wealth. We're going to take wealth away from everyone else so that we can kind of flatten the wealth curve around the world. Therefore you have to eliminate capitalism and replace it through social revolution and create a classless society where there's no private property whatsoever and that every citizen is contributing equally to the good of the entire nation.
The characteristics Jimmy are number one without a doubt the avolition of all religion. They want to make marxism the true religion of the people. Government is the conduit by which they do that. It means there aren't any spiritual dimensions whatsoever in this life that we live on the earth. Then they have their own marxist psychology that says all human beings are a byproduct of their genetics and that's all. And of course they advance the one world government. The marxism has nothing to do whatsoever with God, in fact, you could actually argue that marxism has become a religion. It's a stark history and its a sober history but its reality and something I go into give me liberty not marxism.

The Palestinians and the Jordanians are fighting God for control of the Jewish State
JD: Israeli President Rivlin had a meeting with Mahmoud Abbas the President of the Palestinian Authority. He made a very interesting statement, Rivlin saying to Abbas Israel will exist forever.
DD: It's something that pretty much again all Israeli leaders have said. One of the oldest nations on earth after all. We're not talking about something that was just created out of thin air in 1948. It was the Jewish people scattered from their ancient homeland going back to that homeland and re-establishing a state. Abbas and the others that are fighting against that are in essence fighting against God ultimately because of course the Bible says that this would predict it foretold that the Jews would return and rebuild their cities including in Judea and Samaria by the way, that's in Ezekiel 36. So whether the Palestinians can accept that or not its happened and it will continue to happen. And by the way Jimmy Abbas flew to Jordan this week also to meet in an unannounced meeting with King Abdullah to discuss the peace process.
JD: And that was a key conversation between those two was it not? Jordan's King Abdullah very much concerned with what happens with the Palestinians there in Israel isn't he?
DD: Well and Jimmy the Jordanians have always, the Hashemite government, King Hussein the late father of King Abdullah have always been moderating forces on the Palestinians and on other Arabs in the region. They've always had a pro-West view. The Israeli's are glad Jordan is there. In fact Naftali Bennett the Prime Minister has just announced that Israel will be selling Jordan 50 million cubic meters of water over the next year and they desperately need water. It's such a dry situation so that will help to strengthen ties between Jordan and Israel which as we talked about over the past few months have been strained at times.
JD: David Dolan reporting that the Palestinians and the Jordanians are fighting a battle with God for the Jewish state of Israel.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
God's words says that the Jewish state of Israel is an eternal state, that's Jeremiah 31. In fact that promise of an eternal nation of Israel will not cease unless the sun, the moon, and the stars can depart from the heavenlies, that's Jeremiah chapters 31:35-36. Add to Jeremiah's promise the Davidic Covenant, II Samuel 7:23-24 and God's promise of a nation of Jewish people forever is an absolute.

Both Red China and America have an anniversary based upon an ideological choice
JD: 245 years old, America. I want to tell you this, it's not my grandmother's America but Ken it is still America and we still have something to rejoice over.
KT: Jimmy and God bless this country and God bless the freedoms that we are still able to enjoy. America is about character. We're not a nation state. We are a nation of an idea, of an idea about freedom. So being American and our birthday, the Fourth of July is about our ability still to demand truth from those who govern us, accountability from those who govern us.
JD: Well there's another birthday that's taking place right now, the 100 birthday of the Chinese Communist party. The President of Red China making the statement that China is not going to be oppressed. That's somewhat of a warning to the rest of the world isn't it Ken?
KT: It very definitely is. The Chinese are making a very big deal of this 100th anniversary not of the beginning of Red China in 1949 but the creation of the Chinese Communist party in 1921. They see that as the foundation of their current regime. The Chinese Communist party has attempted to completely revolutionize the country. When they wish to they abolish the family. They prohibited people from having children. They have remodeled the country and they want to remind people today that they are continuing to do that and that the Chinese Communist party is what they as Chinese allegiance do, not even their Chinese nationality. They owe allegiance to the party. It's a very dangerous world their. It's a totalitarian state. It's something that we really need to come to grips with. China is not just another country.
JD: Ken Timmerman with the details on two different ideologies that actually contradict each other.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Red China's celebration of the 100th anniversary of communism in China is an anti-God philosophy. America's 245th birthday is also based on an idea, the idea of freedom. In the prophetic scenario of God's word China is mentioned as a king of the east, that's Revelation 16:12. China is a key nation state at the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Since America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy China may well be the nation to eliminate the United States.

There are Biblical reasons for Christians to take a stand against abortion
JD: Very important discussion. David, I know we've discussed this issue before but as we're wrapping it up today I would like for you to briefly mention some of the reasons why believers should stand firmly against abortion. I want you to do that from a medical, logical, and Biblical prospective.
DJ: Well Jimmy let's first think about this from the medical and scientific prospective. I just sent you a couple of days ago a CNN article about the birth of the world's most premature baby who has made it to his 1st birthday after beating 0% odds of survival. That baby was 131 days early which is only about one week past the halfway point of a normal pregnancy. That baby weighed less than three quarters of a pound.
Jimmy, I've said for years that this viability day is going to ultimately get pushed back to the fertilization stage I think. And I think it's completely possible that one day a full pregnancy will one day happen outside the womb. So then that begs the question where along that line does life start? Logically and psychologically if a fetus is nothing more than part of a women's body why is it that those women's who have appendectomies for example don't experience the same since of traumatic loss that so many report after abortion.
Then looking at it Biblically in Psalm 139 David wrote that his frame was hidden in his mothers womb and God had ordained all his days. In Galatians Paul refers to himself as being separated by God from ministry by his mothers womb. The Lord told Jeremiah in chapter 1 that he had sanctified made him a prophet before he was born. In the law someone who caused a miscarriage was guilty of murder. Then finally we need to remember God took on human flesh at the moment Mary was overshadowed by the holy spirit and Jesus was a human person from the moment of conception.
JD: David James, Bible in hand, giving us the Biblical reasons for Christians to take a stand against abortion.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
On many issues that a Christian will confront in the last days they can go the word of God, the Bible to determine how we can deal with these issues. On the issue of abortion God's word is absolute. As David mentioned Psalm 139 is a key chapter on abortion. It says we are wonderfully made in the womb of our mothers. Speaking of when life begins Jeremiah 1:5 says that life actually begins in the mind of God in eternity past. God's word is absolute on the abortion issue.

God has a plan for the relationship between Christians and their elected officials
JD: Praise the Lord Sam for that great opportunity that the Lord opened up for you to share and bring these guys together. Let me ask you this question. What do you suggest to Christians that may know these men or women and maybe even go to church with them? How should we deal with that type of a situation?
SR: Well I think in the case of every person, ever citizen who has someone who represents them, the Bible tells us number one you need to pray for them. Because they watch for our souls and that's the spiritual relationship whether that's a person that church leadership or the person in office they have a duty before God. That's one of the areas from which they will give an account to God at some time. How well did they actually watch for their souls as in protecting and helping them as individuals to achieve God's plan for their lives as God has created us. Well that is one, we can pray for them. But if we're going to pray for somebody its a whole lot easier to pray for somebody that's you've actually met.
So I encourage people to set up a meeting and go in and meet your representative, your Senator, your school board members. Know who they are. Let them know you're praying for them. None of them are going to throw you out of their office when you tell them you came because you want to pray for them. They will all, that I have ever met will say thank you, thank you I need your prayer. Get to know them personally pray for them.
I would encourage the person in the pew to encourage their Pastors to actually bring in those who are in office and have a God and country day. Have them come in and have the elected officials come to that office and let them meet the people. Let them hear and sit under the gospel preaching and have the leadership of the church and the deacons get up and have these people come forward and lay hands on them and pray for them that they would know the God of heaven and they would do the will of the God of heaven. Powerful impact if those simple things were done.
JD: Sam Rohrer a former State Senator from Pennsylvania and today President of the American Pastors Network and host of Stand in the Gap Radio and Television giving us some Biblical ideas on how to develop a relationship with our elected officials.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
I Timothy 2:1-4 demands that we pray for those in higher authority. Our prayers will then allow us to live a quiet peaceable Godly life and open the way for us to lead people to Jesus Christ. This scenario is acceptable in the sight of God and it is His plan for the last days.
