Israel was conquered by the Babylonians who began deporting them in 586 BC. Many years later the Persians conquered the Babylonians and the Jews remained under their control. Centuries later, the Greeks, under Alexander the Great, defeating the Persians and ruled the known world. Then in 63 BC, the area of Israel was conquered by Rome, and the Caesars now ruled the land. During this Roman period of world history, Jesus ministered. In AD 70, almost 40 years after Jesus’
And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. ~Zechariah 12:3 As seen through multiple recent events, the nations of the world are increasing their efforts to weaken or remove Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem. Is this a fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3’s prophecy that, at the End of
A few weeks ago, Hal Lindsey discussed the Russian-Iranian led coalition of nations described in Ezekiel 38 (read article here). Just since that time, some mind-boggling activities have taken place. The Russian military has moved in troops, heavy armor, fighter jets, anti-aircraft batteries, missiles, and Navy ships to Syria – and has begun bombing targets in Syria! In this article, Hal reveals that this very endeavor foreshadows a specific prediction by God through His servant Ezekiel over 2500 years ago! from The Hal Lindsey Report – September
The influx of refugees and migrants, most of whom are Muslim, threatens to overwhelm existing European abilities to cope with the human tsunami. Peter Szijjarto, Hungary’s Foreign Minister, recently said that it is not an exaggeration that there might be as many as 35 million migrants flooding Europe and the West. The image of 35 million angry, rioting migrants, shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and demanding free entry raises an awful question that leaders in Europe and the United States do not
There are a couple of things really wrong right here in America that have a brand new stench. First, we have a government consisting of three components that were designed to stay in check, with each one able to perform certain duties the others aren’t allowed to by law. Each portion of the three parts is responsible for following a unique rule-set. The design is very good, and in fact lasted until the middle of year 2015. Hal Lindsey stated, “On
In a recent copy of Coffee Talk Light News (September 11, 2015), an article by Lee Griffith caught my eye. I have used Mr. Griffith’s appropriate title of his article for this post. In his piece, Mr. Griffith notes that more lives were lost in the 9/11 attack on the U.S. than in the attack on Pearl harbor. He notes, “There is actually a shocking similarity between the 9/11 attack on our nation and something that happened in ancient history.
If you had an underage daughter who was raped, wouldn’t you want the situation investigated to the fullest extent so that your daughter (or someone else’s daughter) wasn’t put in a similar situation by a predator? Wouldn’t you expect a so-called “women’s health care provider” to do everything possible to report and to assist in any underage rape investigations it uncovered? (read more…)
It’s no surprise to us that religious freedom continues to face significant attacks nationwide. In case you’ve missed this news, following are updates on several cases making recent headlines. Colorado: A local baker lost his appeal at the Colorado Court of Appeals and is now forced to bake cakes for same-sex weddings, should those requests arise. The courts wrongly say that the baker is discriminating. What the baker is really doing is deciding at what event he would like to
An important, but almost completely ignored, development took place recently in the Middle East. I believe it comes as a direct result of the agreement between the West and Iran regarding its nuclear program. It has powerful prophetic implications. To date, Iran’s dominating influence has been exerted mainly among Shi’ite Muslims. The fact that Shi’ites comprise just 15% of the world’s Muslims – the other 85% are Sunni – has helped to restrain Iran’s global influence. It has effectively kept
Throughout Scripture and history, there have been severe consequences for the lack of recognizing the importance of Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Here is what Greg Laurie says in his book “Signs of the Times” : Looking into the future of the Jewish race, God told the Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” And so it has been through history. Every nation that has risen up to strike
