Jerusalem's Mufti Mohammed Hussein, the highest ranking Islamic cleric in Jerusalem, says that Israeli sovereignty over Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem, three of the most important holy sites in Judaism, could start a religious war.
Hebron is the location of the burial site of the Jewish patriarchs. Bethlehem is where Jacob buried his wife, Rachel and in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount is the holiest site for the Jewish people and the location where Jews want to build a temple in the near future.
The mufti's says Israel's claim to these Jewish holy sites is an attempt to take over the religious sites and Moslems are now in a period of war, not with tanks and rockets, but a religious war.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by the mufti of Jerusalem that Israel's claim to their holy sites is a declaration of a religious war is a page out of Bible prophecy for the last days.
The Israeli government has established a list of heritage sites in Israel, sacred sites that are a part of Jewish history. Included in that list are three locations that the mufti of Jerusalem says will be the cause for a religious war if Israel stands firm on their claims to these sites. The sites include Rachel's tomb in Bethlehem, Rachel being Jacob's wife who died in childbirth, Genesis 35. Genesis 23 is the record of Abraham paying cash money for the Machpelah Cave, the burial site for the patriarchs of the Jewish people: Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Israel's King David also paid cash money to Ornan the Jebusite for his threshing floor on Mt. Moriah, the site for the two previous Jewish temples in Jerusalem, I Chronicles 21.
The threat of a religious war between the Jews and the Moslems is setting the stage for an end of times conflict between these two peoples. The ancient prophet Joel, in Joel 2:2-3, warned that the largest militia ever formed on the earth will come to Jerusalem to take control of the Jewish holy sites. There is only one group of people today who could form such a militia and also people who want to control Hebron, Bethlehem, and the holy city of Jerusalem, that would be the Moslem people.
The Jerusalem mufti is right. There will be a religious war.

A number of European Union foreign ministers want to create a super president for the European Union
A select group of European Union foreign ministers are working on a plan to create a super president for the European Union that would include merging the roles of the presidents of the European Union Council and the European Commission which would be a more legitimate democracy in the European Union because this super president would be elected by the members of the European Parliament.
This proposed new super president of the European Union would be the overall powerful leader of Europe with responsibility over Europe's economic matters, all foreign policy, and any European military operation.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The call for a super president of the European Union is a page out of Bible prophecy for the end of times.
The results of a meeting with a select group of European foreign ministers is the need for a super president to lead the United Nations of Europe into the future. This super president of the European Union would play the major role in economic policy for the 27 member states of the European Union and this leader would have responsibility for the direction of the European Union foreign policy as well. With plans in the EU for a military force in the near future would give leadership to this super president for military affairs as well in the European Union which would then become a major force in geopolitical events in our world today.
This report is almost like reading the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the last days. The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote 2500 years ago of the revival of the old Roman Empire (Daniel 7:7, 23-24). Daniel 7:8 reveals that a little horn which comes out of the ten horns of Daniel 7:7 will take control of the ten horns. Now this is a prophetic scenario of the Revived Roman Empire and its leader the Antichrist who will be indeed a super leader who comes to power.
The European Union is today at least the infrastructure for the Revived Roman Empire and there are a number of potential candidates to become the proposed super president. The political activities of the European Union and its potential super president are evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Israel celebrates its 64th birthday
Following the day that the state of Israel stops to remember its fallen soldiers of all of Israel's wars, this Jewish state celebrates its 64th birthday as a modern day nation among the Moslem nations of the Middle East. Many of the Middle Eastern nations say that the Jewish state is not a legitimate nation and these Arab states have stated that they would like to see the demise of the Jewish state of Israel to be replaced by a Palestinian state.
The political and military leaders of Israel say they have no plans to abandon what many say God has given the Jewish people and others declare that the Jews are back home in the land of their forefathers which has been a Jewish land for 4000 years.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The 64th birthday of the modern day state of Israel is absolute proof that Bible prophecy has and will be fulfilled.
This independence day in Israel is the 64th birthday of the modern day Jewish state an event that will see all Israelis celebrating this day with family gatherings, picnics, and trips to the beach. While the body politic of Israel celebrates their birthday, Israeli leaders, both politically and militarily, are preparing for the war threat given by the Islamic leaders to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Other world leaders recognized Israel's potential danger in a Middle East war, however, at the same time, they recognize that this was a miraculous event that took place when Israel became a state in 1948 after 2000 years of absence in the Biblical lands of their forefathers.
The prophet Ezekiel wrote 2500 years ago that this indeed would happen as revealed in Ezekiel 37 when the Lord promised that He would find the Jews scattered all across the earth, regather them into their land, and restore them as a nation. Ezekiel 34 is the record of 18 times when the Lord said that He would bring the Jews back into the Land that that God had promised them. In Ezekiel 36:22 the Lord states that He did this not for the sake of the Jewish people, but for His holy name sake. Also in Ezekiel 36, God promised the land to the Jewish people. However, Ezekiel 38 reveals that Israel will face an attack by the Islamic nations in an effort to destroy the Jewish state.
Israel's 64th birthday is indeed a reminder that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A senior research fellow at the Hudson Institute says that Jewish ties to the Temple Mount will bring peace to the Middle East
Dr. Max Singer a senior research fellow at the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies says the only chance for real peace in the Middle East is if the western nations convince the Arabs that Jewish ties to the Temple Mount will bring about peace in the region.
Singer believes that the continual denial by the PA leadership of the Jewish people's ancient connection to the land of Israel and the sacred significance to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount where once stood two Jewish temples will hinder any peace efforts to the two peoples to coexist in the Middle East and thus only enhance the continuing conflict.
In spite of the fact that the PA Mufti Sheikh Sabri, the high ranking Islamic cleric, claims there has never been a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount, Jewish scholars cite many historic and Biblical sources to confirm that Jews have a 3000 year old connection to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The statement by the senior Jewish research fellow that Jewish ties to the Temple Mount will bring peace to the Middle East is right on target according to Bible prophecy.
Dr. Max Singer, the founder and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, believes that if Jewish ties are restored to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, there will be peace in the Middle East. Bible prophecy reveals that Dr. Singer is correct in the final outcome in the end of time scenario written by ancient Jewish prophets 2500 years ago. The prophet Samuel wrote in II Samuel 7 that one of King David's descendants would rule the world from a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, that descendant will be Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah. Isaiah wrote that when the Temple, the house of the Lord, will be established in Jerusalem, nations would turn their military weapons into farming equipment and they would learn of war no more, thus peace in the world, Isaiah 2:1-4.
As the quest for peace in the Middle East continues, all must agree with the Bible, Jewish ties to the Temple Mount will indeed bring about peace.

Iran says they are ready to go to war with Israel
Iranian President Ahmadinejad, the Iranian military chief, and even the leadership of the Supreme Council of Iran, the Ayatollahs, the Islamic leaders, say that they are prepared for an attack from Israel, the United States, or any other nation that may decide to move against the Islamic Republic. The Iranian threat to the Middle East, Europe, and even to the United States, is the development of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction in Iran that could be used to destroy the Jewish state as has been called for by the Iranian president.
Israel recognizes Iran as their number one threat and have put in place a strategic plan to make certain that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon of mass destruction that could be fired on the Jewish state and that plan may well be a preemptive strike against Iran.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The saber rattling by Iran against Israel and the fact that there is evidence Israel is preparing for a preemptive strike against Iran is a precursor to the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the last days.
There has been much discussion among Israeli officials in recent days that seems to indicate the Israeli government may well be ready to order a preemptive strike against Iran in order to dismantle Iran's development of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction. Iran has responded to these discussions with a declaration of readiness to go to war with Israel. The Israeli government says they will not allow the Iranians to launch a long range missile with a nuclear warhead towards the Jewish state of Israel. Almost every Israeli leader believes that Iran is indeed Israel's number one threat and that they must be dealt with.
What is so interesting to me as a student of Bible prophecy is that this scenario was foretold 2500 years ago by the ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel 38:5 mentions the nation Persia as one of the nations that will align themselves against the Jewish state. Until 1936 the nation of Iran was called Persia - today it's Iran. In the Scriptures we find out that the Lord will intercede in the affairs of man and destroy Iran and the other nations aligned against the Jewish state when they make their attack against Israel (Ezekiel 38:18 - 39:6).
Israel is as expected preparing to take care of their number one threat Iran. However, the Lord will be the one to defend the Jewish state that is according to Bible prophecy - Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

Islamists force 50,000 Christians to flee from Syrian city of Homs
Damascus: April 16, 2012. (PCP) The Syrian Orthodox Church, which represents over half of Syrian Christians, issued a statement saying revolutionary fighters had expelled some 50,000 Christians from the embattled city of Homs. That figure is estimated to account for about 90 percent of the Christian community there. Hundreds more — including women and children — were slaughtered, according to charitable organizations operating in the area.
The Orthodox Church referred to the persecution as the “ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians” by Muslim militants linked to al Qaeda. According to its report, the so-called “Brigade Faruq” is largely to blame, with Islamic extremists going door to door and forcing followers of Christ to leave without even collecting their belongings. Their property is then stolen by rebels as “war-booty from the Christians.”
Christians in Homs were reportedly told that if they did not leave immediately, they would be shot. Then, pictures of their bodies would be sent to the pro-Syrian-regime-change Al Jazeera — a media broadcaster controlled by the dictatorship ruling Qatar — with a message claiming that forces loyal to Assad had murdered them.
The report is also widely circulated by Mr. Robert who writes “Fr. John, Attached hereto is a copy of a message which I received today dealing with the purge of Syrian Orthodox Christians in Homs, Syria by Sunni Muslims. The vulnerability of Christians to Muslim purges in the Middle East & elsewhere is nothing new. Back in the 1930ies during my childhood I was repeatedly told by Syrians in Tupper Lake, NY that the reason for their flight from Syria was "le massacre". Decades later I learned that "le massacre" referred to the purges of Christians in Syria in 1840 & 1850. The Ottomans ignored the protests of European states, whereupon the French moved into Syria to establish a protectorate of Christian and other minorities. When the French left, the Syrian government was seized by Air force officer, Hafez al Assad backed by the Alowite minority which dominated the military. Eventually they formed a coalition of minorities (Baathists) which has protected the minorities from the Sunni majority. Today the Sunnis seek to restore the old order which allowed them the freedom to stomp the minorities whenever they wished. Should Bashar al Assad lose to the Sunni rebels, the minorities will be sorely oppressed. Islam has never emerged from the Bedouin tribal mind set of the 7th century Hijaz. Past is present is future. Should Bashar al Assad be vanquished, who will protect the minorities from the wrath of their enemies? The UN, NATO, Obama? Don't hold your breath”

Why Has There Been a Delay in the Attack?
If you have been watching the news since the beginning of 2012, then you are aware of the contention between Iran’s nuclear program and the threat it holds for Israel in the future. Intelligence information reports that this nuclear program is not just for energy needed to provide electricity for homes, but in reality is a cover for a more sinister plot – to create nuclear warheads and arm missiles capable of reaching Israel, Europe and the United States.
The bottom line in the delay is because of great concerns with oil prices, retaliation, and the election. |
I can recall as far back as the Bush administration, discussions concerning an attack on both the Iranian nuclear facilities and underground bunkers where laboratories and storage facilities hold dangerous chemicals or labs where possible weapons of mass destruction can be produced. Of course this was only talk. Now that Iran has moved further in their program and expanded their plans to include the future destruction of Israel, the Jewish state is running out of time, while the Obama administration continues to talk “secretly behind closed doors,” using Turkey as the voice to send messages. It was actually leaked out through a source on the Debka File, that the administration sent a message to Iran that if a war broke out to please not send any missiles into Iraq to endanger our troops. This is like David asking Goliath to not kill him when David would throw a stone from the sling! There is also a leak (John Bolton spoke of this), where information from someone in the administration was leaked out to Iran revealing certain secret plans the Israelis have in the event of an attack, of using military bases in Afghanistan. I do know from Israeli sources that President Obama has asked Israel to wait until after he is re-elected in November, to conduct any type of military attack on Iraq.
Why would the leader of the free world want to delay the inevitable and even place one of America’s greatest allies at greater risk? The answer to even the casual observer is two words: The Election. Even Vice President Biden allegedly said that if Israel went to war before the election and gas prices increased dramatically, the president would lose the election, as it would impact the economy. The theory is that prices of oil coming from the Persian Gulf region would rise and possibly the Strait of Hormuz would be cut off. There is also a threat of a Saudi oil refinery being struck by an Iranian missile. This combination could bring gas to about $5.50 to $7.00 a gallon in major cities. I can certainly understand the concern of any administration in America for being hesitant, especially since intelligence sources also just released that there are possibly 200 to 300 radical sleeper cells hiding in New York alone! The bottom line in the delay is because of great concerns with oil prices, retaliation, and the election.
It would be far better to strike early and get it over with than delay and make things more difficult in the future. There is no doubt that several major events are going to unfold in the future, and possibly this year. If we are truly living in the last days, then we must acknowledge these events are a part of the greater plan of God and place our trust in Him to provide and protect his people in America, Israel and the world.
The Hal Lindsey Report: 4-13-2012
Syria, North Korea, Indonesia, Egypt, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, China, Israel.... The news headlines of this week alone put flesh on the bones of the predictions of the ancient prophets.
The only way I can put some of these developments into the proper perspective is to say that we are seeing end-times prophecy literally exploding before our eyes. National alignments and strategic threats thought almost impossible only a short time ago are now reality.
That starkly signals one thing to me: the Rapture of the Church is getting closer with each day that passes!
But, America is filled with churches and pastors who haven't preached, taught, or thought about the Rapture in years. In fact, we'd probably be surprised at how many ministers don't even believe that Christ will return to snatch away His true believers in a blinding flash.
This week, I'll answer some of the questions that many of you have about the timing and order of events leading up to the Rapture of the Church, then to that time of terrible tribulation on the earth. We'll discuss which prophecies, if any, remain to be fulfilled before these events can occur. We'll also look at the Age of Grace. What is it and when will it end? We'll discuss exactly what will trigger the end of this current Age. That moment is known only to the Father. Even Jesus in his human nature said He didn't know the hour or the day of that event. This Age began with a mystery and a miracle and will end with a mystery and a miracle.
I believe we live in the most exciting time in history. And maybe one of the scariest! That's why it's urgent that you make certain your family, your friends, your neighbors, and your co-workers have received the gift of pardon that Jesus makes available to them. The events I discuss this week could happen at any moment, even today. You do not want them to be on this earth after the Body of Christ departs! Get ready!

The Israeli government is considering a bill that if made law would give Israel sovereignty over the Biblical heartland of the Jewish people
The Israeli Knesset is considering a law that would make Israel sovereign over Judea and Samaria which has been the Jewish heartland since Biblical times, a piece of real estate that Israel liberated from Jordanian occupation during the Six Day War in 1967. The Jewish state has formally declared sovereignty over the eastern section of the city of Jerusalem which includes the Old City and the Temple Mount and the Golan Heights but Judea and Samaria continue to be administered by Israeli military governors.
Israeli officials believe that declaring sovereignty over the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria actually creates a historic opportunity for Israel to make right a protracted wrong.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even though the Israeli government might declare sovereignty over the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria in this day, the Lord gave the Jews that piece of real estate many centuries ago and had promised them this land forever according to Bible prophecy.
In the 1967 Six Day War the Israeli Defense Force liberated the piece of real estate referred to as the West Bank from the Jordanians and this land, known in Biblical terms as Judea and Samaria, became a part of the Jewish state. However, the area of Judea and Samaria did not come under the sovereignty of the state of Israel but has been administered over these many many years by military governors. Now the Israeli government wants to implement sovereignty over the Biblical heartland of the Jewish people. In essence, that has already happened because God made a promise to the Jewish people and told them they would have this land forever.
Ezekiel 36 speaks much about the land of the Jewish people. In fact 35 times the prophet refers to the land, a land that will belong to the Jews for one reason: He promised this land to them and Ezekiel 36:22 says that the Lord must keep that promise for His holy namesake. The Land Covenant, a promise between the Lord and the Jews found in Deuteronomy 30, this Land Covenant must be fulfilled or God is not God. Ezekiel 35 reveals the prophecy of the Palestinian people, descendants of Esau, these Palestinians who will come and kill the Jews and take their land, that's the land of Judea and Samaria.
The Israeli government's sovereignty over Judea and Samaria is an absolute not because of human government, but because of Bible prophecy - Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

When US Marines tore down the large statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, that was not the end but it was the beginning of the end
On April 9, 2003, US Marines entered the city of Baghdad, Iraq, and tore down the large statue of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and many people watching this event broadcast live globally thought it marked the end of the fighting. However, this largely symbolic event was nearly 9 years premature. Though this destruction of Saddam's statue is a lasting symbol of the fall of the Iraqi dictator, it in reality, marked the beginning of a decade of radical insurgency in Iraq and now with US soldiers out of Iraq, this insurgency has only intensified.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The destruction of the statue of Saddam Hussein by the Iraqis with help from US Marines, did not mark the end of the war, but instead it marked the beginning of the end for Iraq itself according to Bible prophecy.
The almost decade of fighting in Iraq between US troops and the radical Islamic element in this war torn nation was thought to have been over at the very beginning when on April 9, 2003, the Iraqi people with the help from the United States Marines toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad. But it was only the beginning of the end. The insurgency has intensified since all US troops pulled out of Iraq at the end of 2011. This scenario will continue and become more intense as we move towards the total reconstruction of this war torn nation.
According to Bible prophecy, Iraq, Biblical Babylon, will become the economic political governmental capital of the world and the Tribulation superpower personality, the Antichrist, will control the world from Babylon (Revelation 13, 18). Every person on earth will receive an identification mark in their forehead of the back of their hand in order to be able to buy or sell the necessities of life (Revelation 13:16-17).
The fall of Saddam Hussein did indeed mark the beginning of the end which will include Babylon, modern day Iraq, Babylon being rebuilt before it is destroyed forever (Jeremiah 50, 51, and Revelation 16:17 and following). Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

New Beginnings at Passover
April 5, 2012
Dear Friend of Israel,
Every time the phone rings these days, I’m filled with anticipation. You see, my daughter, Yael, is expecting her third child any day now, and I’ll soon have another grandchild, my fifth! I couldn’t be happier or more eager to meet the newest member of our family – and I couldn’t feel more blessed.
It seems appropriate that this is happening in spring, a time of new beginnings and one of the holiest times of the year for both Jews and Christians. While Christians are preparing for the solemnity of Good Friday and the joy of Easter, we Jews are preparing for the observance of one of the most important holidays of the Jewish year – Passover.
Passover recalls the biblical Exodus, when Moses led the Jewish people from bondage in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land, Israel. It was a sign of God's favor toward His chosen people, and marked the birth of the Jewish people as a nation.
The primary observance for Jews on Passover is the Seder meal, a ritual reenactment of the Exodus. The Bible says that on Passover we are to tell the story of God's redemption of our ancestors from Egyptian bondage. The Seder is the way in which we fulfill this obligation. In fact, more than simply retelling the story, we are to feel as if we ourselves experienced the pain of slavery and joy of liberation.
During Passover Jews observe a number of dietary restrictions. Matzah, unleavened, cracker-like bread, is the only form of bread that may be eaten throughout the holiday. Jews are told in the Bible, “For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses” (Exodus 12:19). Thus, the days just prior to Passover are a flurry of activity, as we clean the house and search for leavened products in every nook and cranny.
Though it may seem that these restrictions detract from the holiday, the laws and customs of Passover actually enhance it. This is a time for Jewish families and friends to come together, bound by fellowship and devotion to God. In particular, on the first two evenings of Passover when the Seder is conducted, the atmosphere is one of feasting, prayer, joy, and hospitality.
My friends, as we approach this holy time, even as I thank God for the incredible success He has bestowed upon our ministry, I also thank Him for you. The Jewish people have enemies today, just as they did in the days of the Exodus. But the Passover story reminds us that God is still with us in all our trials and challenges – and how comforting it is to know that today the Jewish people also have friends like you who will stand with us through thick and thin!
Whether you are Jewish or Christian, my prayer is that your holidays will be filled with joy, as I know mine will be as I reflect not just on God’s deliverance of the Jewish people, but on the arrival of a precious new grandchild. This Passover and Easter, may we all know the joy the psalmist spoke of when he said, “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence” (Psalm 16:11).
With prayers for shalom, peace,
