Dateline Jerusalem: An Eyewitness Account of Prophecies Unfolding in the Middle East by CBN Middle East Bureau Chief, Chris Mitchell But God: Getting to Know Your Bridegroom in the Old Testament by Tina Miller
The hyper-grace movement
Within the body of Christ there has long been a controversy brewing, which has become far more prevalent in recent years. The controversy concerns the issue of grace. While the subject is too large to address here briefly, I will simply skip a rock over the surface of the issue by saying that as is […]

Like all of you, […]

Please take a few moments to watch and listen to the following video of portions of the interviews that I was able to conduct with two dear Syrians for my […]
Evidence Grows that Assad was set-up.
First, WND reports on comments made by Rush Limbaugh Tuesday on his radio program, in which he claims to have heard personally from several insiders who are relaying to him the mounting evidence that indeed the Assad regime was framed. Further, another article written by the highly respected and credentialed Israeli-American scholar, Youssef Bodansky calls […]
Further thoughts on Syria
First, I would once again ask everyone to pray for the people of Syria. Also pray that the Lord would give our leaders wisdom. This is, after all, commanded in Scripture. Far too frequently, I myself am guilty of becoming snarky or overly critical and not turning first to prayer and placing my full trust […]
Does Isaiah 17 prophesy the imminent destruction of Syria?
This is an updated version of an older article, that I thought was relevant to repost in light of the potential looming US attack of the Assad regime in Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city, and it will become a fallen ruin.” —Isaiah 17:1
Reports that America and England are preparing for an attack on the Assad regime
First this news story from the UK Telegraph: Navy ready to launch first strike on Syria. For the past several months, in working on my forthcoming film project, I’ve travelled extensively throughout the Middle East and have sat down with numerous Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with […]
The Faith and Liberty Talk Show: The Goals of Islam
Several weeks back, just after returning from Turkey, I had the opportunity to appear as a guest on the Faith and Liberty Talk Show with Dave Garrison. It felt as though it was a very good discussion. I had the chance to discuss Islam and its goals, as well as share a bit about my […]
Egyptian Churches burn as the Muslim Brotherhood shows its true face
I have been receiving multiple reports from friends in Egypt. While some of the western media has reported that Christian churches and shops are being burned, most seem to only be emphasizing the military response to the so-called peaceful Muslim Brotherhood protestors. While the brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad wrote on his Twitter: “We will always […]

Joel Richardson’s visit with Adnan Oktar, June 14, 2013
During my recent trip to Istanbul, I had the opportunity to visit a second time with the Turkish author and television personality, Adnan Oktar. The meeting, which can be watched below, has been edited quite heavily. During our visit, as is my obligation and joy, I invited Mr. Oktar to leave Islam and become a […]

So I went to an Erdogan rally…
And it turns out that he shares my fine sense of style: As a qualifier: I was not at the event to support PM Erdogan, but simply to report on what I observed. And I do not believe that I have any genuine sense of style. But on a very serious note, please do pray […]

First Hand Report From the Clashes in Turkey
Joel Richardson For the past twelve years, I’ve maintained a keen interest in the future of the nation of Turkey, writing frequently over the years about the re-emergence of this nation as a regional leader. My particular interest has been how all of this relates to the testimony of the Biblical prophets and how it […]
Film Update
Hello friends, The documentary project continues… One of the interviews we conducted earlier this year was with a friend who is an underground church planter and pastor in Iran. It was a very powerful interview. One of the stories that he shared, I need to pass on to you all. My friend—let’s call […]
Heartbeat of Heaven
The image above is from the Cave Church at Mokattam Mountain in Cairo, Egypt. On my recent trip to Cairo, I was blessed to participate in an all night prayer meeting there on Pentecost. There were other opportunities for some sweet times of worship with the believers in Cairo as well. One of the worship […]
Stratfor’s Analysis of Turkey’s Uprisings and Future
I frequently read Stratfor’s analysis, as they are among the most informed and foreword thinking. Here they discuss the present unrest in Turkey and what it means for the future of the nation: The rapid escalation of anti-government protests in Turkey in recent days has exposed a number of long-dormant fault lines in the country’s […]
Is a “Turkish Spring” next?
For the past week, protests that initially began to contest a construction project in Istanbul’s Taksim Square have become violent, turning largely into anti-government protests. According to news reports, the protestors are opposed to the present Islamist, increasingly authoritarian regime led by Prime Minister Erdogan. Some are thus asking if this could develop into a […]
Bring back the Ottoman Empire
Ten years ago when I began trumpeting the Biblically prophesied reality that the Middle East would one day experience another period of Turkish domination, the idea was largely ignored. Beyond this, the mere mention of the word “Caliphate” by then-President Bush was outright mocked by many in the liberal media. But little by little the […]
Two Turkish Projects
First, there is this from the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News: The groundbreaking ceremony for Istanbul’s controversial $3 billion third bridge over the Bosphorus was held yesterday, on the 560th anniversary of Istanbul’s conquest by the Ottomans. The ceremony was attended by Turkish President Abdullah Gül and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the name of […]
Historian: Obama helping to resurrect Ottoman Empire?
Interesting piece by Robert Kaplan at Gatestone Institute. I disagree that Germany is behind Turkey’s regional expansion of power. But I can only agree that the US, particularly under the present administration has done much to further Turkey’s regional goals.
Update and Prayer Requests
I’ve just returned from a few weeks of traveling in Israel, Egypt and Jordan along with a small camera crew. We are presently working on a very important project that I will be announcing in more detail in the weeks and months ahead. Needless to say, we had the opportunity to visit with the believers […]
