Israel Tells Palestinians to Get Out of Gaza

Last updated on: January 5, 2024 at 12:16 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

When Gaza-ruling Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people in about one day, Israel launched a devastating military assault of the Gaza Strip that included artillery and dropping over 200 bombs weighing 2,000 pounds each. Reports are that 22,000 Palestinian have been killed. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue for “months.” But neither he nor his administration has been saying what Israel’s plan is for Gaza after the war. Then both foreign ministers... Read more

Scottie Scheffler–Player of the Year

Last updated on: January 5, 2024 at 12:25 am   By Kermit Zarley

Scottie Scheffler just won the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year for the 2022-2023 PGA Tour season. And it was for the second consecutive season. The last time anyone won it for two consecutive seasons was Tiger Woods in 2005-2007. This honor is bestowed by the PGA Tour. The selection is based only on votes by PGA Tour members who played at least 15 regular PGA Tour tournaments during the 2022-2023 season. There is a bit of controversy about Scheffler... Read more

Golf Interview of Me Published Today in Pittsburgh Tribune

Last updated on: January 19, 2024 at 11:39 am   By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, I was zoom interviewed for about 20 minutes by golf reporter Chris Mascaro on his podcast, “Next on the Tee.” I’ve never met Chris, but he is really an excellent interviewer. He had prepared well by researching highlights of my golf career, both college and the PGA Tour. Today, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published an article about the interview, unexpectedly I’m sure. The title of the article is, “Next on the Tee: Kermit Zarley recalls U.S. Open battle with Jack... Read more

Was the Source of Noah’s Flood Deeper than We Thought?

Last updated on: January 1, 2024 at 11:51 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

For the past few decades, some scientists have claimed there is a massive reservoir of water hundreds of miles below Earth’s surface that has more water in it than that which is in all of Earth’s oceans combined, and perhaps much more. If true, could this water have been the primary source of Noah’s flood recorded in the Bible? Now, a team of geophysicists believe they have discovered a mammoth reservoir of water about four hundred miles under Earth’s surface.... Read more

Is Antisemitism Causing No Free Speech for Palestinians?

Last updated on: December 17, 2023 at 7:03 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Due to the Israel-Hamas War that was sparked by the radical Islamist group Hamas, which governs Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, U.S. universities are caving into pressure exerted by wealthy donors and politicians to prevent pro-Palestinian students from demonstrating or having conferences on campuses that claim to adhere to free speech. The reason for this pressure is that pro-Israel people are accusing pro-Palestinian folks of being antisemitic. In some cases that likely is true; but there is a necessary... Read more

Jews Are Not Now Entitled to All of the Promised Land

Last updated on: December 17, 2023 at 7:26 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Some religious Jews and some Christians believe Jews are now entitled to all of the so-called “promised land” that God promised to their ancestors in a covenant he made with them that is recorded in the Bible. But such an assertion belies an ignorance of holy scripture. In my book Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia, I show from the Bible that God will not give Jews all of the promised land until they turn to him in... Read more

Book Review of Richard Bauckham’s “Who Is God?”

Last updated on: December 16, 2023 at 12:30 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Dr. Richard Bauckham is a distinguished, British, New Testament scholar at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. In his studies, he specializes in Christology and the Gospel of John. He also is a Fellow of the British Academy. I have some of his books in my library. I once attended a forum at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in which he spoke on the question of who authored the Gospel of John. Although I disagree with Dr. Bauckham on... Read more

How Will “Every Eye See” Jesus at his Second Coming?

Last updated on: December 15, 2023 at 12:07 am   By Kermit Zarley

There are several end times Bible prophecies that suggest advanced technology will be utilized at that time which, of course, was unknown to those prophets of antiquity who so declared. One group of such prophecies is about the second coming of Christ. Isaiah the prophet uttered several prophecies about the end of the age and beginning of the new age, what Jews and Jesus called the world to come. For example, Isaiah declares, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the... Read more

Biden and Netanyahu Clash on Creation of a Palestinian State

Last updated on: December 13, 2023 at 12:31 am   By Kermit Zarley

For fifty years now, I have been in support of both the existence of the State of Israel and the right of Palestinians to have their own state alongside Israel. In my book, Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia, I show from end times Bible prophecy that there is going to be a Palestinian state. It will be located in the coastal plain as a very expanded Gaza Strip, and Israel will annex all of the West Bank.... Read more
