Biden's policies are set to diminish America's role in the Middle East as the Bible has predicted. He has surrounded himself with some anti-Israel advisers, and both Israel and the Arab states are looking to build ties to counter the effect.

The Apostle Paul hazarded his life preaching the gospel throughout the Roman Empire. The gospel preachers of the time became known as "These that have turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6). The Apostle was beaten, scourged, ship wrecked, imprisoned and eventually put to death by the government of his time, for speaking the gospel. The "beloved Barnabas and Paul”, are truly, "Men th...

Brexit is Complete, a tremendous confirmation of prophetic understanding.  Rioting in the US highlights a tremendously divided nation.  We look for steps that indicate it is drawing closer to English speaking nations and Gulf allies.

How is it that the great city of Revelation chapter 18 accumulates the vast wealth described in this prophecy? She is said to be “that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones, and pearls (verse 16) for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”

A worrying wave of political reform, cloaked in the robes of ‘social justice’ is gathering pace. Those that hold to the teachings of the Bible are under threat. 

This week in the news we have seen a further two countries, Morocco and Bhutan, both normalise relations with Israel showing the momentum we’ve seen over the last few months, of Israel’s existence being accepted throughout the world, is continuing to build.

Deep in Iranian bunkers and top secret facilities was a man by the name of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.   This man was not only the brains in his area of expertise but was also driven with a deep passion to complete his assignment.   Fakhrizadeh’s assignment was to develop a nuclear bomb.   In fact he has been called the father of Iran’s bomb just as Physicist J. Robert Oppenheim...

Today, November 21 is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s final arrival at Provincetown Harbor. The Pilgrims settled on American soil on November 21, 1620, four hundred years ago today. With them was the Geneva Bible. The message of that book has shaped American history and continues to do so today. Welcome to the Bible in the News, at www.bibleinthenews.com, this is David Billington wi...

As the world awaits the final election results, we reflect on what the Bible has to say about how God rules in the kingdoms of men through the Lord Jesus Christ. We look at examples from the Bible, from past and recent history to see how God has usd men to bring about his will. 

As America goes to the polls this week we bring to mind the words of Daniel the prophet who said: “Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what...

Ezekiel 38 verse 8 addresses Gog, the invader which comes down into Israel from the utter most parts of the north (38:15). We can have absolute confidence Gog is Russia. Gog is from the land of Magog which we can trace as territory now occupied by Russia.   God, speaking through the prophet Ezekiel, says to Gog (Russia) “in the latter years thou shalt come into the land which have been...

In the midst of a global pandemic, a tumultuous U.S. election season, talk of peace and safety in the Middle East...conflict has flared again in a lesser-known dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but of what significance is that to the Bible believer? Video Version:

After watching the incredible peace agreements between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain we were reminded that the God of Israel is at work bringing about his purpose and plan.   Many Bible students have waited for this time of peace and prosperity for Israel that exists prior to the Northern invader descending on the holy land as outlined in Ezekiel 38.   These events will be responded to...

For over a century our community has been watching and waiting for a situation of peace and prosperity to come to the regathered Jewish people living upon the mountains of Israel. This expectation has been drawn from a number of Bible prophecies, one of the more frequently referred to is the prophecy of Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 comes near the end of a series of chapters that are prophecies of restor...

In last week’s episode of Bible in the News, Jonathan Bowen spoke at length of the fulfilment of Bible prophecy shown in the Gulf Nations signing peace deals with Israel.

As Bahrain joins the UAE in making peace with Israel, we are reminded of the hostile situation Jews faced in Arab lands from the 1880's through the present day. As attention turns to the Arab world, an exhibition at the Bible Lands Museum highlights the miraculous hand of God in bringing Jews from Yemen 70 years ago, and this puts into context the enormity of what is happening today. 

A few weeks ago, on Bible in the News, we spoke about the historic agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and what it could mean for peace in Israel – a prophetic requirement before the battle of Armageddon. This week we have seen further moves made among the nations, with Kosovo, another majority Muslim country, normalising its relations with Israel, and opening an embassy, n...

Throughout the scriptures, we encounter a hostility between the Kingdoms men and the people of God and when in existence the Kingdom of God.  We discuss the character of Kingdom of Men from the prophecies and the character of Russia today, a nation that would poison those that oppose it.

A massive political earthquake which will bring sudden and dramatic change has rocked the Middle East. Here are some of the headlines from news articles and opinion pieces over the last few days. The National Post, "Israel and UAE to normalize diplomatic relations in historic shift in Middle East politics”; The New York Times, "A Geopolitical Earthquake Just Hit the Mideast”; The Teleg...

The withdrawal of American troops from Europe will have the effect of France and Germany banding closer together in an alliance that will include their militaries. While politicians today try to work how they will pull this off, the Bible gives insight into the fact that somehow they will.

This past week we have seen the world reacting to the reconversion of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul from a museum back into a mosque by decision on July 10th of Turkey’s President Erdogan. The so-called Christian world, especially in the east, has been riled by this move. Patriarch Kirill of Russia indicated it would cause deep pain to the Russian people. Pope Francis has also expressed his great...

Things are heating up in Israel as controversial plans are afoot for the annexation of the West Bank. Hello, this is Matt Davies and together we’ll look at recent events and their significance in reaction to Bible Prophecy.

It was the case in the time of Christ as he says in John 7:7 - “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.”   This is story over history and is certainly the story in our world and news today.   And no where is this battle so sharp as in God’s own land, and in God’s holy city Jerusalem.

Hi everyone, have you noticed stories abounding in the news that make you question your morals? You start to wonder what’s right and wrong! In the Apostle Paul’s final letter before being executed, he writes: “ in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy...

As we have watched Russia’s role in the Middle East over the past while we have seen it exercising its hegemony over nations like Iran and Syria. It is moved to “protect” them from western interference but also has kept them securely within its circle of influence. Russia's involvement in Libya's civil war speaks to this. We also spend a few minutes considering the disciple's rol...
