Dateline Jerusalem: An Eyewitness Account of Prophecies Unfolding in the Middle East
History’s final chapter will be written in Jerusalem.
When an Iranian president thunders a murderous threat or an obscure Turkish drunkard has a dream in Mecca or a Jewish couple from Brooklyn lands at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, these events might seem disconnected. But they’re not. In Dateline Jerusalem, CBN News correspondent Chris Mitchell connects the dots and unveils Jerusalem as the epicenter and crossroads of the spiritual, political, and, yes, supernatural worlds.
For thousands of years, Jerusalem’s powerful draw has always transcended simple economics, military strategy, and religious affiliation.
In our own time, as the Arab Spring threatens to become an Islamic Winter, one commentator warns: “The Arab Spring doesn’t lead to democracy, it leads to Jerusalem.” Indeed, the fragile peace of Israel is in new peril as violent Islamic factions vie for control of surrounding nations. Yet Muslims are converting to Christianity in record numbers. Dateline Jerusalem untangles and chronicles all this through the riveting narrative of a Christian reporter in the upheaval of the modern Fertile Crescent.
We live in a world where we cannot afford to be ill informed. What happens in the strategic Middle East, Israel, and Jerusalem is critical. It matters to you. Today’s news might focus on Washington, New York, London, or Moscow, but history’s final chapter will be written in Jerusalem.
Chris Mitchell’s firsthand experiences and reporting uniquely qualify him to expound on and explain the major trends and developments sweeping the Middle East and affecting the world. Mitchell has served as the bureau chief for CBN News since August 2000.

“Furthermore, veteran Christian workers announce we’re witnessing an unprecedented marriage of prayer and evangelism with astounding results. Groups like The Call, International House of Prayer (IHOP), Global Media Outreach (GMO), and Every Home for Christ are folding their hands together and witnessing never-before-seen results. They report a harvest so profound and new technology so advanced, they believe it holds promise that the Great Commission—the charge by Jesus Christ to take the gospel to the whole world—could be completed in our generation. One of the spearheads of this new evangelistic thrust called ‘Back to Jerusalem’ carries with it a potential of penetrating the Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim areas of the earth.” (source)
