Dear friends:
The below is the latest ISRAELUPDATE from David Dolan in Jerusalem. You may be interested in the History Channel's upcoming TV special in the U.S. that he mentions and for which he was interviewed. I hope to watch it.
Jim
_____________________Just after lighting seven Hanukkah candles last evening, I received a phone call from Los Angeles informing me that the History Channel will debut the program COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON in North America the day after Christmas. I was interviewed last June for the two hour special, which will also be rebroadcast several times during the last week of this year, and again in 2005.
The program's visiting American producer told me he was quite impressed by the "fantastic backdrop" my central Jerusalem apartment rooftop provided for the television interview, which we conducted last June. After all, I was giving my take on the "end-time apocalypse" in front of the historic Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives, where several biblical prophets said world history will climax with the return of Israel's anointed Messiah.
The program will air at 8:00 PM on the east and west coasts, 7:00 Central and 6:00 Mountain, on Sunday evening, December 26th. It will be rebroadcast at midnight on both coasts, which is 11:00 PM central and 10:00 in the Rocky Mountain states. The holiday special will be screened again during prime time on Thursday night, December 30th, at 9:00 PM on both coasts, 8:00 Central and 7:00 MST. It will later be broadcast on the various international History Channel outlets (including here in Israel), so keep an eye out for that if you live outside of North America.
To check the TV schedule yourself, go to the History Channel website via this link:
http://www.historychannel.com/global/listings/listings_weekly.jsp?fromYear=2004&fromMonth=11&fromDate=26&NetwCode=THC&timezone=4&View=Weekly&&fromTime=21I have no idea what the final version of Countdown to Armageddon will look like, but suspect it will at least be an interesting show. The History Channel website promo describes it in a rather sensational fashion. After mentioning "asteroids, super volcanoes, global warming and killer viruses," it goes on to ask if these "potential catastrophes" are just "natural disasters" or "terrifying prophecies from the Bible that are at last coming true?" I did not speak on camera about the changing climate or other disturbing natural phenomena (like we don't have enough problems already?) but about the fact that the prophesied return of the dispersed Jewish people to their ancient Promised Land is occurring every day, as I've reported for over two decades from Jerusalem.
END OF DAYS
The producer told me that he had become aware of my interest in biblical prophecy via my apocalyptic novel, THE END OF DAYS. This was a blessing to hear in that the book has had a rather bumpy historical ride. As some of you already know, it was first published in 1995 by Baker Books/Fleming Revell under a different title, THE END OF THE AGE. However, that identical title appeared later the same year on a book written by a well known American television personality who had earlier also run for president. Naturally, his great fame meant that my novelwhich had been doubling in sales every monthwas literally shelved by many retail outlets. Although it was brought out again the following year under its current revised title, the perfect moment had apparently passed. It has sold well in the years since then, but it probably would have done even better if its initial success had not been suddenly interrupted.
When the identical title appeared on the market (containing very similar content to boot), I was urged by legal counsel to pursue a court case against the second publisher, which I was assured I would win hands down. However, I decided that such a course of action would bring public shame to the name of the King of Kings whom both I and the other author served.
Minutes after entering my Jerusalem apartment in 2002 after a speaking tour abroad, I received a telephone call from the head of 21st Century Press in America. He wanted me to bring out a fresh edition of the novel, which was published later that same year. That in turn led to the History Channel interview, and I hope as well to many more people becoming aware of my book.
Although THE END OF DAYS has generated some controversy (especially over my "novel" approach concerning the identity of the "two witnesses" of Revelation 11), I trust it has and will also alert many readers to the fact that current world events, especially here in the turbulent Middle East, are unfolding exactly as the ancient Jewish prophets foretold they would during the "last days" of human history.
Speaking of that, I will mark the pending History Channel interview, and the rapidly approaching halfway point of the first decade of the third millennium, by sending you a summary of my current thinking on the biblical end times, and how contemporary world events may be lining up in fulfillment of ancient prophecy. Although this is not the usual thing that I do via this Israel Update e mail service, I hope you will benefit from it. If such a thing is not to your personal taste, just hit the "delete" button when it arrives!
WINTER SPEAKING TOUR
I will be speaking about biblical prophecy in light of current regional events during my upcoming speaking tour in the USA and Jamaica. The venues are listed below. Several more may be added to my itinerary. To check for those in the coming weeks, go to my website www.ddolan.com and click on "David's schedule."
One other note: I mistakenly wrote a few weeks ago that the cruise to Alaska that I am scheduled to speak on next August is sponsored by the MJAA. It is actually sponsored by the MJIF. Either way, everyone is invited to participate if you are willing and able. Details are also available on my website. Many have told me that the summer cruise along the majestic western Canadian and Alaska coast is one of the best on earth, and I hope at least one of the speakers will be good (I know that the fantastic singer Paul Wilbur will be worth hearing!).
