New York Jewish Week sarcastically responded to the Secretary of Defense’s public calling out of Israeli leadership in which he yelled out, “Just get to the [expletive] table [negotiating table]!” The tongue-in-cheek editorial announced: “How foolish...

Can one man make a difference? He can where God is concerned. In fact, God could use one man to save the very focus of His kingdom plan, the nation of Israel. In addition, because God is a God of irony, He could even use a World War I German officer ...

There is nothing more dramatic, exciting, and tension-filled than God’s blockbuster end-times drama. As with any great story, God’s gripping drama of Biblical prophecy contains conflicts, twists and turns, ironies, and exciting climaxes. (Yes, God’s ...

The Bible is very specific about Israel’s role in God’s end-times plan, clearly demonstrating that the Jewish nation lies at the very center of the prophetic picture. The Bible is nearly as clear about the U.S. role in the future, as the absence of A...

Intelligence provided to the U.N. shows that Iran has mastered the critical steps needed to build a nuclear weapon. This information provides new details on a former Soviet weapons scientist who tutored Iranian scientists on building high-precision ...

While a number of Bible prophecy advocates are promoting Iran’s involvement in an impending invasion of Israel, exegetical evidence shows that Ezekiel 38 will not have an imminent fulfillment. (See the author’s September 25th article, “Two Coming Inv...

At the height of his career, Napoleon is reported to have boldly declared, “God is on the side that has the heaviest artillery.” It was a cynical answer to someone who asked if God was on the side of France. But then came the Battle of Waterloo, wher...

In a Peanuts cartoon, Peppermint Patty reminds Charlie Brown, “You heard what that speaker said, Chuck. He said we’re in the last days!” Charlie Brown responds with: “I know. I heard him say the world is coming to an end.” In the third frame, Pepperm...

After more than two and a half years of pushing and condemning Israeli leadership, the president, who has been “openly antagonistic to Israel's leadership,” sided with Israel in a U.N. speech on September 21. At first glance, the purpose of the speec...

Last week, President Obama sided with Israel in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly. This was the first time since Obama took office in January of 2009 that he stood with Israel without “balancing” it with a condemnatory ring against Israeli leader...

Can God use the Palestinian bid for U.N. membership for His kingdom plan? Since the Bible explicitly shows that God is in control of all things, including the decisions of the leaders of nations (cf. Proverbs 21:1), then the answer must be an unequiv...

Last week, I presented the evidence for Ezekiel 38 being linked with Revelation 20:7-10. That means that the invasion of Israel described in Ezekiel 38 will occur at the end of the millennial kingdom (the thousand-year reign of Christ on the earth). ...

Might the upcoming U.N. vote over a resolution to declare a new Palestinian state further isolate the U.S. in the Middle East? That is a distinct possibility, according to the former head of Saudi Arabian intelligence, Turki al-Faisal. Al-Faisal has...

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared there is a growing recognition of the need for Middle East negotiations. This may be true, but we know that there will no negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians that will lead to a treaty. Pa...

The elimination of Israel is a primary goal of the Iranian regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad believes he is in direct contact with the Twelfth Imam (the Mahdi), the Muslim Messiah. The Twelfth Imam has, supposedly, directed him to eliminate ...

Will Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Hizbullah eliminate Israel? That is the threat of a Hizbullah general who declared that if Iraq falls to Iran (as U.S. troops leave), Iran will use it as a bridge to galvanize Syria. Then Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Hizbullah w...

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Genesis ...

It is not likely that Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas understands that his push for a U.N. resolution on a Palestinian state aligns perfectly with end-times Bible prophecy. However, since it does, it appears that the Palestinian leader’s “heart is i...

This is a wonderful prophetic update from Jimmy De Young of Prophecy Today. Jimmy DeYoung discusses current events, including the repealing of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". The fact that so many things are coming into line with the Last Days prophecies...

Russia ended Middle East talks by preventing the Quartet (the E.U., Russia, the U.N., and the U.S.) from making a key demand. As a result, talks with the Quartet broke up, with no progress made on restarting the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations...

A recent survey in Israel shows that the religious right in Israel continues to grow. This aligns well with end-times prophecy. How so? To answer that question, we must first identify Israel’s “religious right”. The religious right refer to those wh...

I get a lot of books for review and to be honest, I skim most of them. Recently when I found out about Tom & Nita Horn's newest book Forbidden Gates, I knew I had to read it and I can tell you that I HAVE read it. It is very rare that I will actual...

I believe that demons and UFO's go hand and hand. I also believe that the media is intentionally seeding the news with these stories so that they can plant into our heads that aliens are real, in the event there is some manifestation or government r...
