And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places Matthew Chapter 24
Rick Warren to Address Islamic Convention
Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in Southern California will be speaking to 40,000 Muslims on the Fourth of July in Washington, D.C.
The evangelical megachurch pastor will be the featured speaker during the main session of the Islamic Society of North America’s 46th annual convention.
Sayyid Syeed, a longtime leader with ISNA who has focused on building the organization's interfaith ties, extended the invitation to Warren during a White House gathering they attended last year, but Warren kept the invitation – and his intention to attend – under wraps.
Syeed and Warren have worked on global missions projects together, including ones that fight AIDS and malaria in Africa.
The Islamic Society, an umbrella association for tens of thousands of Muslims, has made it a goal to persuade leaders of other faiths to attend its convention – a massive family reunion that draws about 30,000 people.
With the event being held in Washington, leaders of ISNA are hopeful President Barack Obama will make an appearance.
Will the Third Temple be built next to the Dome of the Rock?
A controversial proposal to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple next to the Dome of the Rock was thrown on the table last week, according to a recent article published in the Jerusalem Post. Until now, Jewish tradition held that the Dome of the Rock -- which was built in 691 A.D. over the site of Solomon's Temple -- would be destroyed as a precursor for building the Third Temple. But a new Jewish interfaith initiative challenged that assumption.
"This vision of religious shrines in peaceful proximity can transform the Temple Mount from a place of contention to its original sacred role as a place of worship shared by Jews, Muslims and Christians," said Yoav Frankel, director of the initiative sponsored by the Interfaith Encounter Association.

With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
