In these days of turmoil and uncertainty, I wanted to share this passage from the Psalms with our readers. It's been a busy couple of months on the world scene, with all the changes in the Middle East—and now, the tragedy in Japan. Let's allow the LORD to speak to...
Last May, the international community was in an uproar over Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. Do you remember this? Several leftist "humanitarian aid" groups tried to break through the Israeli blockade with a flotilla of boats. They knew full well that it would provoke a confrontation with the...
From the New York Times news service: U.S. Blocks Security Council Censure of Israeli Settlements The United States used its veto on Friday afternoon to block a Security Council resolution declaring Israel’s settlement construction in the West Bank illegal. Many rumors had been swirling around Washington, DC, about what the...
We've been getting questions recently about whether recent events in Egypt are connected in any way with the prophecy in Isaiah 19. There's been a lot of prophetic speculation about these events lately, so it's important that we maintain a balanced and non-sensationalized approach to issues like this one. So...
What does Egypt have in common with Macy's? Answer: they both need a reasonable return policy. Please allow me to explain. During the Six Day War of 1967, Israel invaded the Sinai Peninsula to preempt Egyptian military action. It was the only time in the history of the modern State...

John Bolton, who served for a brief time (2005-06) as the US ambassador to the United Nations during the last Bush Administration, is always provocative. Photo Copyright 2011 Raw Story Media He's a smart guy. He's been accused of being brash and careless (which probably cost him Senate confirmation "back...
Well, now—that's the big question, isn't it? There's so much uncertainty about the current events in the Middle East, everyone wants to know how it's going to turn out. Or more precisely, what will the Middle East look like when the dust settles? So-called prophetic "experts" are engaging in a...
Okay, I hear you! Several readers have written to me privately and chastised me for speaking in disparaging terms ("dictator") about Hosni Mubarak, who for more than 30 years has been an important ally of the State of Israel. Point taken. You're right—it's true. It's also true that his departure—dictator...
It looks like Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is in trouble. Tonight, as I type this blog entry, the news networks have been riveted for most of the day on the rioting in the streets of Cairo. It's still too early to say what the ultimate outcome will be; however, I'm...
“And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt” (Ex. 7:3). The interplay between Pharaoh and the LORD during the ramp-up to the Jewish exodus from Egypt reflects the tension between divine sovereignty and human free will. Critics have suggested that...
The New York Times recently published a front page story regarding the cyber-attack. You can read the full article here: Israeli Test on Worm Called Crucial in Iran Nuclear Delay. Read our original post here: Will Israel Strike Iran? Now We Know the Answer.
As I've mentioned before, one of the frustrating things about having a ministry that's active in Israel is that there's a lot about it that we can't talk about. The reason we can't talk about some aspects of our work in Israel is that publicity can sometimes be counterproductive. At...
The end of 2010! Who thought it would go by so fast? In case you missed them, here are some of the Headline blog posts from 2010. Hard to believe it was only six months ago that the international community was criticizing Israel’s blockade of Gaza. “If Israel Is Not...
For several years now, the world has been waiting with bated breath for the answer to this question: Will the Israelis strike Iran to dismantle (or at least decelerate) her nuclear weapons program? Now we know the answer—and it's yes. In fact, the strike has already occurred. Most people don't...

To the mullahs in Iran: Come on, guys, even you have got to admit that this is pretty funny! To everyone else: You've probably already seen this photo (unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 48 hours or so): In this satellite photo from Google Earth, notice...
Well, we were just talking about the fact that the Bible proves or disproves modern science—and not vice versa (see "Noah's Ark: Finally Found?"). Now it just so happens that we have a followup report (not on the search for Noah's Ark, but on something else) that illustrates my point …
For as long as I can remember, they’ve been searching for Noah’s Ark. Who are “they”? It’s a long list: various crackpots, publicity seekers, hacks for sensationalist tabloids, fortune-hunting opportunists, some sincere believers, a sprinkling of legitimate scientists, and even a retired US astronaut. The late Ron Wyatt, an archaeologist...
Most of us know that not all Muslims are terrorists. If you don't know it, you must live in a bubble somewhere. For those of us who have Muslim neighbors, or who go to school (or work) with Muslim people, it's a non-issue. They aren't all that different from the...
