Welcome to Tomorrow’s World where we tackle the truly important questions facing our world and ourselves. Former Soviet Union Leader Mikhail Gorbachev caught the attention of major newspapers around the world in an op-ed piece for Time Magazine.
Gorbachev is a student of history, and all evidence indicates he is a man who would rather have peace than war. Presidents Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan bought time for the world when they agreed to ratchet down nuclear stockpiles. The two men began what appeared to be a truly friendly relationship, following decades of the Cold War between the two superpower antagonists. Mr. Reagan will go down in history as the one who challenged the Soviet President, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” And Mr. Gorbachev will go down in history as the one who tore down the Berlin Wall, setting free millions of oppressed people from a failed Marxist system, and this opened the way for the reunification of Germany. So when he wrote:
It all looks as if the world is preparing for war
People took notice. He further wrote in his January 2017 editorial,
The world today is overwhelmed with problems. Policymakers seem to be confused and at a loss.
Indeed! The world IS confused and at a loss. He named the escalating inventory of modern weapons a danger to the world:
More troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers are being brought to Europe. NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank.
But the big problem is not Europe, although it is destined to play a vital role in the future. The real problem is found in the Middle East, specifically in the city of Jerusalem. What’s in store for this city? That is the focus of today’s Tomorrow’s World telecast. There is an answer. It is known, and it will affect your world and your life. On this program I’ll show you what to expect, and I’ll be offering you a free publication that documents in advance what will happen in that part of the world and how it will affect you. This publication, The Middle East in Prophecy, is yours free for the asking, so be sure to have writing material ready so you can take down the phone number to order your free copy. I’ll be right back to show you what to expect for the city of peace, where there is no peace, so don’t go away!

Welcome once again to Tomorrow’s World, and I especially welcome all of you who are tuning in for the first time. I’m pleased you’ve joined us today. And I’m pleased to offer you our free publication, The Middle East in Prophecy.
Our world is in trouble. As former Soviet President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Mikhail Gorbachev wrote,
Politicians and military leaders sound increasingly belligerent and defense doctrines more dangerous. Commentators and TV personalities are joining the bellicose chorus. It all looks as if the world is preparing for war. http://time.com/4645442/gorbachev-put...
Nowhere is the specter of war more probable than in the volatile Middle East. When nations were smaller, when transportation was on two legs or four legs, when wind powered ships, and aircraft didn’t exist, confused policymakers could only do so much damage. That has changed. Confused leaders can do immense damage in our technologically advanced world!
High speed communication and transportation connect us, but we can’t get along together. Add to this, incredibly destructive technologies: nuclear weapons, smart bombs, chemical and biological weapons, with missiles, unmanned planes and drone ships to deliver those weapons of mass destruction. It’s a dangerous place when policymakers in THIS kind of world are, as Mr. Gorbachev says, “confused and at a loss.”
Conflicts that start small in one part of the world can quickly spread to all parts of the world. In effect, no one is safe!
The tiny nation of Israel, and it’s chief city Jerusalem, are at the core of many Middle Eastern problems. The beginning of today’s problems can be found in the book known as the Bible. There we read of a man named Abram, later called Abraham. His wife seemingly could not have children. One day Sarai, who also experienced a name change to Sarah, came up with an idea that appeared good at the time. We read of it in Genesis 16:
So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” (Genesis 16:2)
Abram listened to his wife. A child was born and they named him Ishmael. A divine messenger informed the couple that he and his descendants would be difficult to get along with. Here it is in Genesis 16:12.
He shall be a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him.
