Bible in the News

Russia's religious revival is creating a symphony between church and state in Russia, both working with similar aims. This was foreseen by Bible students who have been looking for these events since the 1860s and even predicted the religious revival of Russia when atheistic communism was in full force during the cold war. 

"I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul".  God's declaration of intention to "settle" Israel... Surely His hand is now visible in action. Here is a video version (sorry about the spelling error, it should read, "God is Doing it with his Whole Heart..."):

In these dramatic events of 30 years ago, climaxing with the fall of the Berlin wall in November 1989, we were given a rare glimpse into the political influence and methods of the Vatican as a democratic upheaval brought about the collapse of atheistic communism in Poland and then in the Soviet Union making way for the unification of Europe.

France’s president has told the world NATO is brain dead. He is proposing a European Army in its place. He is also calling for Europe disengage with America and to engage with Russia as a strategic partner in Europe.

Turkey, the national remnant of the Ottoman Empire has flooded over its border into Syria engaging in warfare against the Kurds. The UK Guardian posted an article today with the headline, "Frustration and anger fuel wave of youth unrest in Arab world”. The article focuses on discontent in the K...

The news from Britain is getting very repetitive, and so much so that the public are getting sick and tired of it. Why listen or watch the news about politicians fighting it out over so-called “Brexit?” The public know what they want and they voted for it, but the political establishment, who think they know better, deny it them. So what can we make of it in the light of the Bible?

Welcome back to Bible in the News after another roller-coaster week in the Brexit saga! We started the week with a Brexit deal looking like a distant dream for Boris Johnson, but early yesterday rumours began to surface that a deal had been reached between the two sides.

While the sea and the waves roar around the world, tens of thousands of Jews gather at the Western Wall to call upon the God of Abraham in prayer, asking for forgiveness and for God to rebuild the temple. 

Happy Rosh Hashana! This past week has been another chaotic week in the UK with BREXIT as well as in Israel, with another round of elections ending in a similar place to where it started! Boris and Bibi have their hands full. As we approach a new year on the Jewish civil calendar, which is actually the start of the seventh month according to the Biblical calendar, it might feel like things ar...

For many years historians and archeologists have poured over writings, manuscripts, maps, and the like searching for the top secret source of the Phoenicians tin they brought into the eastern Mediterranean.  For the Bronze age to be the bronze age they needed a solid source of tin and the Phoenicians had the just the spot, only they didn't tell anyone.  Even the great historian Herodotus...

An examination of prophetic expectations 18 years ago on September 11, 2001, and how the repercussions of that day have made it a prophetic milestone. September 11, 2001, a prophetic milestone.

Britain’s rocky road to BREXIT has seen many twists and turns over the past few weeks as Boris Johnson has become Prime Minister and is shuttling back and forth to Europe to see if a deal can be made. There are many political intrigues going on, but what we can be confident about is what the scriptures predict… We don’t know how but we know that Britain must leave Europe.

Israel continues construction in the “West Bank”. Riots on the Temple Mount. The brutal murder of an Israeli yeshiva student. Israel mourns the destruction of the first and second Temples on Tisha B’Av — the 9th of the month Av. It’s all happening this week in Israel. Welcome to Bible in the News, this is David Billington.

The USA withdraws from 1987 nuclear missile treaty with Russia. Turkey moves away from NATO and closer to Russia. The UK sends warships to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Europe at odds with USA and UK over Iran. The nations are being moved into position for the Great Day of God Almighty.

This week we look at what and where are the "mountains of Israel", an expression we often read of in the book of Ezekiel. Why is this area singled out in prophecy, separate from the rest of the land of Israel?

Hello. Welcome to this weeks Bible in the News. Europe has a new president. Germany’s former defence minister, Ursula Von der Leyen, is the president elect of the European Commission and is set to become the most powerful person in the day-to-day affairs of the European Union. As always in this weeks episode, we look at this recent news in the light of Bible Prophecy.

The earthquake that rocked California this week reminded us that our whole environment can change so quickly and unexpectedly. There is something about our psyche that expects things to continue as we have always known them to be. Something that echos the words of 2 Peter 3:4 which says, "Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from t...

Iran has shot down a US drone, attacked six international oil tankers, shot rockets at the US Embassy in Iraq, and fired missiles at a Saudi International airport – all events which have lead to increased tensions and stinging sanctions. The sanctions are causing divisions between Europe and the USA – and the cementing alliances that are predicted in the prophecies of the Bible events...

As Prime Minister Theresa May prepares to leave office, we examine how her vision for the future relationship between the UK and EU compares with Britain's future role, and the relationship that will exist between the UK and EU at the time of the end.

This week, American President, Donald Trump has been visiting the UK. We examine some of the highlights of the visit in the context of Bible Prophecy.

In a bizarre resolution in 2016, UNESCO, supposedly responsible for preserving cultural heritage, forbad archaeological digs in Jerusalem and denied Jewish (and Christian) connections to the Temple Mount.  Archaeological finds are continually being made that emphasize how outrageous this denial is.

Tensions build in the Middle East between Iran and the Gulf States and the United States. The left wing Israeli Ha’aretz news site says, "Trump Cites Iran to Bypass Congress on Saudi Arms Sales”, "'An emergency requires the immediate sale' of weapons 'in order to deter further the malign influence of Iran,' Pompeo argues, invoking rarely used provision”. The news article says,
