Iran, Russia Discuss Nukes; U.N. To Step In
TEHRAN - Iran and Russia held more nuclear talks on Tuesday as the U.N. Security Council prepared to consider U.S.-led demands that it send a "very strong message" to Tehran over its suspected weapons program. The closed-door talks in Moscow were launched at Iran's request on Monday, the same day that Russia accused Tehran of obstructing efforts to find a diplomatic solution. Russia's Security Council reported no progress in Tuesday's session, but said the talks would continue.

Israeli Raid On Jail Enrages Palestinians
JERICHO, West Bank - Israeli forces driving bulldozers and firing tank shells burst into a Palestinian prison Tuesday and removed dozens of inmates in a raid targeting prisoners convicted of killing an Israeli Cabinet minister. Furious Palestinians attacked offices linked to America and Europe, torching the British Council building in Gaza City and kidnapping a foreign employee of the Red Cross in Gaza. Gunmen also seized four guests -- including two South Korean journalists and a French woman -- from a Gaza City hotel.

Palestinian Leader Calls On EU To Maintain Aid
VIENNA (AFP) - Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas called on the European Union to maintain aid to the Palestinians following a meeting with Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, whose country currently holds the EU presidency.

U.S. May Shift Aid From Palestinian Authority To Relief Agencies
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 12 — The Bush administration is contemplating an increase of aid to the Palestinian people while it bars direct aid to the Palestinian Authority if its Hamas-led government refuses to abandon its anti-Israel policies, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.

Turkey Two-faced On Terrorism
WASHINGTON, Jerusalem and Brussels were shocked when the Turkish government recently invited the leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, to Ankara. By hosting the leader of a terrorist organization — one that has taken terror to new heights with its suicide bombings of malls and city buses — Turkey undermined its own cause. After all, Turkey has for many years been campaigning to get its homegrown Kurdish insurgency classified as a terrorist group. The United States and European Union have done so. So the invitation to the Hamas leader was particularly strange coming from Turkey, even while Turkey is negotiating to join the EU.

Israel's Election Quandary
This much is clear about Israel's March 28 national election: It is acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's race to lose. Mr. Olmert, who became head of state following Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Jan. 4 stroke, is the first person to run for prime minister as head of the new Kadima Party formed by Mr. Sharon in November.

100 Twisters Across 5 States - 'It's Just Amazing How Devastating It Is'
SEDALIA, Missouri (AP) -- The frozen chicken that Joy Rank had been thawing for dinner was still soaking the next morning in a sink full of water -- a meal abandoned when Rank watched a scene of terror unfold outside her kitchen window.

A tornado tore through the mobile home park she co-owns Sunday night, flipping over one of six occupied homes and killing a 39-year-old woman inside.

"There's not a lot of damage to the homes people live in," Rank said Monday, crying while sipping coffee in the dim candlelight of her kitchen. But "it really bothered me that a girl had to lose her life."

N. Korea Army Threatens Pre-Emptive Attack
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has the right to launch a pre-emptive attack against U.S.-backed South Korean forces because the two Koreas are technically still at war, the communist state's official media said on Tuesday.

U.S., China And Taiwan - America's Coming War With China - A Collision Course Over Taiwan
Ted Galen Carpenter's conclusions are less apocalyptic than the title "America's Coming War with China" would imply. But the situation is serious. As the Taiwanese legislature's actions to dissolve the largely symbolic National Unification Council last month and Beijing's stern rejoinder show, tension in the Strait is never allayed, only dormant. To avoid conflict, Mr. Carpenter argues: "Washington badly needs to clarify its Taiwan policy... Unfortunately, time is running out for them to do so."

To drive home the gravity of the situation, Mr. Carpenter opens his work with a hypothetical showdown between the United States and China, which has overtones of the averted Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996.

EU Seeks New Energy Partnership With Russia
European ministers called Tuesday for a "new partnership" with Russia to secure EU energy imports, after Moscow's natural gas war with Ukraine hit the bloc's supplies in January.

A Jewish First Temple Period Artifact Was Discovered In Piles Of Rubble From Jerusalem's Temple Mount
A world famous archaeologist from Israel, Dr. Gabriel Barkay recently announced the discovery of a 2,600 year old artifact amidst the piles of rubble discarded by the Islamic trust.

Peres Meets With Abbas In Secret
Former prime minister and current Kadima Knesset candidate Shimon Peres met Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Amman Sunday after securing Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's approval.

Jordan To Israel: Stick To Road Map
Jordan's prime minister urged Israel on Monday to stick with the US-backed road map peace plan with the Palestinians.

Comments
Iran and Russia are in talks again.  These repeated request for talks with Russia and the E.U. just seems more like a stall tactic than anything else.  It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they succeed in stalling their way right into nuclear weapons.  

The IDF raided a Palestinian jail this morning seeking a prisoner who participated in the killing of an Israeli cabinet member.  Once apprehended the heavily armed siege ended.  That sparked fury in the hearts of armed Palestinians who turned their anger toward anyone in the territory who wasn't a Palestinian.  Several relief workers and other foreign employees were taken hostage until their demands were met to release of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Israel and the E.U. were shocked when Turkey invited Hamas terrorist group leader Khaled Meshaal to visit especially since they are campaigning for E.U. membership.  

I would be shocked if they are ever granted membership into the E.U.  Bible has marked Turkey as one of the countries who will participate in a yet future attack against Israel (Ezekiel 38:6). For this reason, I don't ever see them gaining membership into the E.U.

North Korea is in the news again.  Apparently, they have threatened to stage a pre-emptive strike against U.S. backed South Korean forces since they feel they are technically still at war.  Some day soon North Korea will march on South Korea and China will take back Taiwan.  I expect this to happen during the great war described in Revelation chapter six.

Israeli archaeologist's have found another ancient artifact among the rubble discarded from the Jerusalem temple mount site.  This one dates back 3,000 years to the days of King David.  Prophecy speaker and radio host Jimmy De Young had this to say about the discovery:

"This major archaeological find is solid evidence of several things: first, that King David was actually a king of Israel; second, it proves a presence of Jewish people on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which has been denied by the Muslim world. In fact, the Mufti of Jerusalem told me that there is no evidence that there was ever a Jew on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

This recently discovered first Temple period artifact reminds one of the truth of King David and the covenant God made with him that one of his sons would one day rule and reign from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Second Samuel 7. In fact, Jeremiah, an ancient Jewish prophet promised that as long as there was a day and a night, thus the sun and the moon in operation, God's promise to David would come to pass, Jeremiah 33:14-21.

The discovery of a small seal or bulla from the rubble off the Temple Mount that refers to King David is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled."

I couldn't have said it better.  Lately, it seems every time some Biblical naysayer pops up to refute the validity of the Bible something like this happens shortly after.  Of course, this doesn't add to or take away from the fact that salvation comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross, that He rose again, was seen by over 500 people after the fact and ascended to heaven to be with the Father.  But it does strengthen my belief that prophecy will be fulfilled just as the Bible has said.

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not, your time is running out!
