As the world continues to reel from the Paris attacks America has fumbled the Middle-East ball for the American team, and Putin has intercepted and picked it up for Russia. Germany has pledged itself to become involved militarily in with France in the Middle East. Turkey has poked the Russian bear by shooting down a Russian fighter plane, and Israel, although the greatest victim of terror has been...

"At least 149 people are said to have been sla...

At the time of this Bible in the news it’s bonfire night here in the UK. A time to watch firework displays, play with sparklers and of course huddle around a bonfire. The night air is thick with smoke and the sound of loud explosions. Flashes light up the dark sky and glints of fireworks can be seen in every direction from time to time.  But what is the meaning of this night which is ce...

Events in the Middle East continue to move quickly as the region is being reshaped in a dramatic manner, moving towards the situation described by the Hebrew prophets many centuries ago and expected by students of Bible prophecy.

Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington commenting on Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu's statement last week linking Adolf Hitler with the wartime Palestinian Arab leader, the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, and the Holocaust. Not surprisingly his comments drew a sharp response from President Barack Hussein Obama (to give him his full name) of the United States because...

The plan to internationalize Jerusalem has come to the surface again in the wake of horrific violence against Jews in Israel. The Vatican has long been behind this plan, and we see it being resurrected today. Eventually this will be one of the stimuli that brings the nations down into Jerusalem - but only to be destroyed as God sets up his Holy Temple on Mt. Zion once again.

Things are heating up in the Middle East as Russian activity increases. Many of the players mentioned in latter day Bible prophecy are being positioned into their roles as the Bible predicted thousands of years ago. This is Matt Davies joining you for another Bible in the news.

The recent cold blooded murder of two Jewish parents, in front of their four children is both horrific and shocking - to those who know it happened. It was easy to miss. To find the news on most large news websites outside of Israel, you have to search for it. A search for the last name of the couple on the large American news website CNN has zero results! Searches found 1 result on the UK Telegra...

The world is in shock that Russian forces are moving into Syria... the Bible clearly states the situation that will develop in the next little while. The power-blocks are moving into place setting the stage for the long anticipated return of Christ.

As the discovery was unlike anything made before it was decided that a new species of human ancestor has been found, the anthropologist’s lead by Lee Berger are calling it Homo naledi.  The discovery was made in South Africa deep down in a cave and in fact over 1550 specimens were found from apparently 15 individuals.  All sounds rather exciting doesn't it!  Welcome to another...

Egypt has been going through civil turmoil in recent years. However an amazing discovery reveals that it is being positioned exactly where Bible prophecy says it will be in the time just before Jesus returns. Welcome to another Bible in the News.

The National Post commented that, "The temple, dating back to 32 AD, shows a unique merging of ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman architecture.

This past month the Republican candidacy contender for US Presidential election, Mike Huckabee, made several bold statements stating the Iran nuclear deal was hideous, affirming that Judea and Samaria were part of Israel, and declaring Jerusalem was Israel's rightful capital - flying in the face of American, European, and United Nations policy.

Our title is not our own words but the words of the former Israel Security Agency (or Shin Bet) chief Yuval Diskin according to the Jerusalem Post this week.

The horrific death last week, of a Palestinian toddler, in an arson attack on his home, has brought the usual torrent of condemnation on Israel , and its government.  Of course, it’s not surprising that such a killing should be vigorously denounced; but why is it that Israel is the only country where the whole nation, or at least the government, is held accountable for every crime that...

CNBC reported on July 31 that, "The price of oil could be stuck firmly at around $50 a barrel by 2020, a Goldman Sachs analyst told CNBC, raising new fears about the energy companies that have already started to cut costs, projects and jobs to cope with falling revenues.”

While the world rejoices in the historic nuclear arms deal signed in Vienna between America, Iran, Russia, the EU, Britain and other nations - our minds go back to the appeasement policies of Chamberlain prior to WWII. It was Churchill who defined appeasement as feeding a crocodile hoping it will eat you last.

Greece is in a major crisis financially.  As world leaders scramble to find a solution we consider Greece as part of the Kingdom of men spoken of in Bible prophecy. This is Matt Davies joining you for another Bible in the News.

We look this week at the events in Yemen, Putin's recent visit to the Vatican and the computer virus that was found to be monitoring the Iranian nuclear talks.
