This week in Prophecy

Using some of his most apocalyptic rhetoric yet, Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is vowing that the United States and Israel will soon be "annihilated," even as he refuses to abandon Iran's nuclear program.
Marking the 19th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, Ahmadinejad said: "Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started."
He also insisted that "I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene." (You notice he said “geographical” scene, he did not say political scene).

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Japan’s prime minister Thursday that the world will soon not include the United States, Iranian news agency IRNA reported. "The U.S. domination is on the fall. Iran and Japan as two civilized and influential nations should get ready for a world minus the U.S.," Ahmadinejad told Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on the sidelines of the U.N. food summit in Rome on Tuesday, IRNA reported. Why are we looking at Iran with prophetic eyes, because Iran will be allied with Russia and several other countries to try to destroy Israel (Gog and Magog), but God will supernaturally protect Israel and it’s people.

The chief of staff for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared Jerusalem and the Temple Mount belong to the Muslims and any Israeli action that "offends" the Mount will be answered by 1.5 billion Muslims, He says "Jerusalem is Muslim. The blessed Al Aqsa mosque and Harem Al Sharif (Temple Mount) is 100 percent Muslim. The Israelis are playing with fire when they threaten Al Aqsa with digging that is taking place," said Abbas' chief of staff Rafiq Al Husseini. Husseini was referring to Israeli plans to construct a new bridge from the Western Wall area to the Temple Mount.
The old bridge was damaged two years ago. When Israeli workers tried to repair it, Palestinian leaders claimed the work was threatening the Al Aqsa Mosque, even though the mosque is located hundreds of feet away, the work did not tunnel under any Mount foundation or touch any structure connected to the mosque, and the repair work – which had been pre-approved by Jordan and the Mount's Muslim custodians – was conducted under the scrutiny of an accessible 24/7 webcam. We know that God gave Israel to the Jewish people! We must pray for their safety but we must also pray for the Palestinians. Remember there are many innocent Palestinians and many Palestinian Christians who live in terrible conditions due to the fault of their goverment and the people who want to destroy the country. Israel is the epicenter of the world and satan is working overtime to destroy God’s chosen people because he knows his time is short, but we know how this story ends, Jesus is coming back soon, are you ready?

Zechariah 12:2-3
2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
Zechariah 14:1-2
1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.
Luke 21:20
20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.
Luke 21:24
24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

A speech made by French President Sarkozy this week in Athens, in which he emphasized his desire to push forward his plans for military integration in Europe.
This is a major event because a unified military has not been mentioned in the EU as a serious subject until now, why is this important, because this is another prophesied event concerning the revived Roman Empire during the last days.

The number of natural disasters around the world has increased by more than four times in the last 20 years, according to a report released by the British charity Oxfam. That is a 400% increase. They said "It follows a pattern of more frequent, more erratic, more unpredictable and more extreme weather events that are affecting more people."

Look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near
