Current events match Bible prophecies: Russia and Israel

On October 27, 2005, The New York Times published an article quoting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who declared that the state of Israel must be "wiped off the map."

Rafsanjani, who served as President of Iran from 1989 to 1997 and is currently Chairman of Assembly of Experts and of the Expediency Council of Iran, suggested that a nuclear attack be launched on Israel that would "annihilate Israel" (Iran Press Service, Dec. 14, 2001). All of this leaves little room for doubt regarding Iran's intentions against Israel. [read more]

Sending a man to do a woman’s job

Put your money where your mouth is, Obama

Women like a man who's sensitive to their needs, but a politician isn't a boyfriend. A Dec. 1 New York Times article describes Barack Obama advertising himself as the best candidate for women because of his upbringing. And feminists are listening.
