Examining current events in the light of God’s prophetic Word Jimmy DeYoung’s Until Newsletter Visit our website: jimmydeyoung.com News In Brief Russian Warns US Not To Attack Syria Russia is a steadfast supporter of Syria as Western powers including the US and its allies discuss and prepare for an attack on Syria. Russia in fact is doubling down. Russia has moved naval ships into the Mediterranean as Vladimir Putin warns Western powers not to attack Syria. In fact one report says that the Russian leader has warned if the West does indeed attack Syria, Russia will attack Saudi Arabia. The world is now standing by to see if the Middle East will explode should the Western powers attack Syria. Jews Around The World Celebrate The New Year Rosh Hashanah, the new year for the Jewish people marks 5774 on the Jewish calendar and is one of the seven Jewish feast days that the Jews celebrate on a yearly basis. It is a feast also known as the Feast of Trumpets, a holy day that is very family oriented in the Jewish community. The Jews believe that it was 5774 years ago when God created the heavens, the earth and all that in them is, a fact that lends itself to the belief that we are living on a young earth. Egypt Declares A State Of Emergency The streets of Cairo and other cities across Egypt are in chaos as security forces move to dismantle the strongholds of supporters for the deposed president Mohamed Morsi. Morsi supporters are calling for the ousted leader to be reinstated. Egyptian government military forces confronted Morsi supporters killing over five hundred of them and wounding thousands.World leaders are calling for calm in Egypt which does not look possible in the near future. September, 2013 Published by Shofar Communications, Inc. Chattanooga, TN Volume 17 Issue 09 SPECIAL REPORT: The Status Of The Next Temple JERUSALEM - Recently, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas said that the Israeli government is getting ready to build a Temple on the Temple Mount. Rabbi Yoel Keren claims that Abbas' rhetoric is a "typical tactic we that that they use whenever [the PA feels] they are in trouble." He said that Abbas is"hanging on to what little bit of power and money he has by a thread and he is trying to bolster himself." He believes that the PA "feel it helps rally people to their side to scream out about the Al Aqsa Mosque and things like that." Keren said that the current Israeli government is not supportive of building a Temple on the Temple Mount, but "one day they will... I wish there was a Jewish government that wanted to build the Temple, unfortunately there is not." Keren referred to a statement made by Ministry of Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel in which Ariel claimed that the Jewish people had "built a lot of small temples." However, Keren explains that "in Hebrew that is used as the nickname for synagogue." But the Rabbi was quick to point out that "There is only one Temple. He says we've created a lot of small temples, but that is not what we want. We do not want buildings that look like temples. We do not want buildings that we nickname temples. We want to build the Temple on the Temple Mount." In a documentary produced by Jimmy DeYoung, Jr., another leading rabbi in Jerusalem says that he believes the next Jewish temple will be rebuilt on the Temple Mount in his lifetime and he says everything is ready to build that temple today. Rabbi Nachman Kahane, the rabbi who has guided many Jewish students of the Scriptures on the subject of the temple has been the main source of serious study and preparations to build the Jewish temple basically because that is what the Bible calls for from the religious Jews. In Rabbi Kahane's Yeshiva, which is a place of learning for Jewish young men, the rabbi trained all the leaders of this effort to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and it was his students that started the Temple Institute which has accumulated all the implements for the next temple and trained the men to operate that temple. All the preparations have been made to rebuild the next Jewish temple in Jerusalem which is in essence a page out of Bible prophecy for the end of times. Twenty years ago I sat with Rabbi Nachman Ka- hane as he was beginning his quest to rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. Now twenty years later the rabbi believes that the temple will indeed be rebuilt in his lifetime. That is a quote from the rabbi on a documentary released on the subject that shows the rabbi plus many others who also agree that the temple could be standing in Jerusalem in the very near future. Rabbi Yehuda Glick, the former head of the Temple Institute, says even the priestly garments are ready and the temple will stand in full operation very soon. Rabbi Chaim Richman, who is the leading authority on the red heifer, says the temple will be built at the spot of the original site of the Garden of Eden which he says is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Rabbi Yoel Keren says that there will be a Jewish temple in Jerusalem that follows the details in Ezekiel 40-46 but first the Jewish people will build a less extravagant temple as they did when the Second Temple was rebuilt 2,500 years ago. The priests have been trained, the implements made to operate the temple, even the Menorah, the seven branched candelabra, and there are ten stringed harps for the Levites to play as called for by King David in 1 Chronicles 23:5. The US & Russia On The Verge Of A New Cold War? MOSCOW - A report from a Russian expert reveals that the United States and Russia are in danger of plunging into a second cold war. The report claims that Washington's policies towards Moscow are the blame for the growing tensions between these two global superpowers and that Russian President (and former KGB officer) Vladimir Putin's pent up anti-American sentiment may be coming to the surface as well as these tensions increase. The so-called “reset” between the two nations is dead as the Obama administration has never truly cooperated with Moscow, but instead they keep pushing the same policies imposed on the Russians for the last 20 years. The current US policy of advancing NATO towards Russia's borders, building missile defense systems on Russia's borders, and interfering in Russia's internal politics have brought about these tensions that have plunged the two nations into another Cold War. The last Cold War between these two nations lasted from 1947 to 1991.

Jimmy DeYoung’s Until Newsletter Volume 17 Issue 09 Page 3 The EU Adds 28th Member-State BRUSSELS - Croatia has become the 28th member-state of the EU and the EU says they may add additional member states in the future. Broadcast partner Dr. Rob Congdon says that the addition of Croatia to the EU member states is significant, but he also says that they will need to develop a core group to give direction to this economic political power in the future. Dr. Rob Congdon: It is going to be a pragmatic solution I think. What you have, and we can already see it, the commission is the main power, 28 members are in the commission, the main power, directing power of the EU. They have already said it is getting difficult. They do not want to be like a parliament with several hundred members. They want to have just the key leadership and 28 is a lot to coordinate, if you get up to 109 it is impossible. What I believe is pragmatically as some have already started suggesting is we have to develop an inner core of countries to be the guidance of the EU. When they were originally designed, the original plan of the EU was to have what they called the higher authority, and this was a very limited group that would have the ultimate power of the EU. With each new member, the pressure is going to grow to say how do we reduce it and we have said before one of the favorite numbers in the EU is based on the number 10. So, obviously I suggest they will break into geographic regions and be ten regions with their commissioner or leader of the high authority in those ten. Dr. Jimmy DeYoung has shared the vision of a virtual band of solders for Jesus Christ will be brought together to learn Bible prophecy and sent out to recruit and equip others, in their generation and the next, to this important task - learning and then teaching the truths of Bible prophecy. To this end, Dr. DeYoung has formed the Prophetic Army of Senior Saints, also known as P.A.S.S.. The Mission statement of P.A.S.S. can be found in 2 Timothy 2:2 and is fleshed out in Titus 2. "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."

Jesus commands His followers to go and teach all nations what He had taught and commanded them. In Acts 1:1-11 (particularly verse 3) we see that for the 40 days following His resurrection, Christ was teaching His disciples "things pertaining to the kingdom of God." That is a phrase referring to the coming Kingdom, that is not yet in operation, but will be in the future, according to Bible prophecy. The disciples understood that the Kingdom was yet future, because the last thing they asked Jesus before His ascension was when He would restore the Kingdom (Acts 1:6). For the last 40 days of His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ taught His disciples Bible prophecy. He could have spent this time teaching them how to run a church, or how to preach with more power, or how to be a better witness, or how to argue in defense of the faith... But rather, before He sent them out to "the uttermost parts of the Earth" He taught them the prophetic truths of God's Word. In a few weeks, Jimmy DeYoung, Jr. will be obeying the command to "Go... and teach all nations." He will be boarding a plane to Romania where he will share the same truths with pastors, preachers, and Bible teachers of Romanian churches that Jesus shared with His disciples - the prophetic Word of God. And he is doing so by faith. We do not yet have all the funds needed to put on this intense and focused Bible prophecy conference for the leaders of the Romanian Christian community - but the ticket has already been purchased. Two days of the Pastors' conference, then services on Sunday in a local Romanian church, and a meeting with missionaries to the Romanian people. It will be a busy few days - but a productive and rewarding few days. Would you like to be a part of this ministry outreach? As Jimmy steps out in faith, you have the opportunity to share in this ministry. Please pray that God will use him in a mighty way to share the truth of God's prophetic Word and help turn the tide of a false and incorrect understanding of Bible prophecy that has overtaken much of Eastern Europe. Please pray, and if you can, invest in this effort to make an eternal impact on Eastern Europe.

Prophecy Today’s broadcast partner David Dolan weighed in on whether this threat from Syria was of concern to Israel. David Dolan: It is ultimately because they can be fitted chemical warheads on long range and medium range mis- siles of which Syria possesses hundreds, if not thousands, that can strike virtually every part of Israel. [That] certainly is something that the Israelis think is a strong possibility. And then we have reports that activists associated with the Syrian opposition have smuggled samples of soil and other contaminated clothing and other things to a team of United Nations experts and while there, this attack apparently took place. I think the International Community will rise up, of course not Russia [or] China, but the Western powers in particular and take some sort of action. That obviously interests Israel very much. As Prime Minister Netanyahu said, Iran in particular is watching how the world responds, how the West responds and if they just sit back and do nothing, that will encourage them in their nuclear program and their goal to annihilate Israel.

Jimmy DeYoung’s Until Newsletter Volume 17 Issue 09 Page 6 Jimmy DeYoung’s Prophetic Prospective on the News The European Union Will Continue To Expand The fact that the EU may setup a core leadership group of ten member states sounds very similar to the prophetic scenario for the end times that is found in Bible prophecy. As the EU continues to grow, it becomes more and more like what will be the infrastructure for the revived Roman Empire. Daniel 7:7, 23, 24 are verses in Bible prophecy foretelling of a governmental and economic power in place during the seven year Tribulation Period. The recent addition of Croatia to the EU member states is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. A Jewish Temple Will Once Again Stand In Jerusalem Jewish activists preparing to build a Temple in Jerusalem is in line with Bible prophecy. Though the Israeli government is not ready to build a Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, there are those that have made preparations to rebuild the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. God's Word does say that this will happen, Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Rev 11:1-2. The accusations by the Palestinian leader that the Israeli government is preparing to build a Temple on the Temple Mount are actually false. However, there are Jews that are preparing to build that Temple and all the preparations are finished indicating that Bible prophecy will indeed be fulfilled. “As In The Days Of Lot” Sodomy Is Being Accepted Sodomy, homosexuality in the Catholic church is a sign that Jesus is about to return to the earth, that is according to Bible prophecy. Jesus warned in Luke 17:28 that He would return to the earth when our society was like the days of Lot 4,000 years ago. In that day, sodomy, homosexuality was prevalent in Sodom and Gomorrah. Men were having sexual relationships with other men. Our society today is once again immersed in sodomy approved by many people even the leaders of our nation. who commit sodomy and even those who approve of it. The Apostle Paul wrote that God rejects this lifestyle of sodomy, homosexuality and will judge those who commit sodomy and even those who approve of it, Romans 1:24-32. Syrian Violence Will One Day Reach Into Israel As Western powers discuss and prepare to punish Bashar Assad's government for the use of chemical weapons of mass destruction, Russia is steadfast in its defense of Assad on the issue of chemical weapons of mass destruction usage in Syria. This standoff between Russia and the West may well become a major conflict in the Middle East. This scenario is actually found in Bible prophecy. Daniel, the ancient Jewish prophet reveals that Syria is the nation that will make the first move against the Jewish state of Israel, Daniel 11:40. Isaiah, another of the ancient Jewish prophets also foretold of the destruction of the city of Damascus, Isaiah 17 and Isaiah revealed that this will happen at the same time in history when Syria does attack the Jewish state. The ancient Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote in Ezekiel 38:2 that Russia (referred to as Magog in the passage) will lead the last days conflict in the Middle East with an attack on Israel as the end result. Daniel another ancient Jewish prophet, said in Daniel 11:40 that Syria (referred to as the King of the North) will be aligned with Russia in this move against Israel. Syria in fact has threatened to burn Israel if the West does attack its homeland and Russia stands ready to join forces with Syria in this explosive conflict. According to the prophetic scenario found in God's Word the ancient Jewish prophets indeed talk about an alignment of nations that will come against the Jewish state and Syria will make the first move to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. These developments in the Middle East are indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Think About This The supposed reset of relationship between the US and Russia did not work for whatever reason and now every issue gets bigger and bigger. The tensions between these two have intensified also because of the concerns that Russia is trying to regain its superpower status by making decisions that fly in the face of what is best for America. Ezekiel 38:2 says Magog will lead an alignment of nations that will move to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. In Genesis 10:1-5, Noah’s son Japheth has a son named Magog who raised his family, taught them a new language, and moved to a location just North of the Caspian and Black Sea, (a place that is called Russia today). Ezekiel 38:12 foretells that Russia will be the leader of many nations who will attack Israel to annihilate the Jewish state. There is clear evidence that we are now very close to that attack, however before that can happen, the Rapture of the Church must take place, and that could be today. So let’s keep looking up... ...Until, Jimmy DeYoung Shofar Communications Inc , . PO Box 2510 Chattanooga, TN 37409 423.825.6247 prophecytoday.com Editor Jimmy DeYoung Associate Editor Chad W.
