A new poll conducted by the National Association of Evangelicals reveals that a majority of its members would agree that the recent earthquakes in Haiti, New Zealand and Japan are signs of the soon coming return of Jesus.

In 2004, when I completed the initial version of what has become the book, The Islamic Antichrist, most popular analysts claimed that Turkey was increasingly turning away from Islamism and toward a western-friendly orientation. I disagreed and based on Biblical prophecy, argued that in the days ahead, we would see the rise of Turkey as regional superpower. A mere seven years later, this idea has become mainstream. Today the American Thinker ran an article by Janet Levy that is well worth reading for any who wish to understand where the Middle East is heading.
