Bible in the News

The Bible is clear. Europe will become a dictatorship by all the nations giving their power and strength to the beast, and Britain will get out in order to play the role the finger of God has identified for it… it’s just a question of how, and when.

The UK Telegraph announces that, "Palestinians defy Barack Obama and push ahead for their own state"; the Associated Press, "Palestinian leader will ask for full UN membership"; and the Globe and Mail, "Abbas to ask for full UN membership, but cautions Palestinians against outsized hopes."

For hundreds of years Bible students have anticipated the drying up of the Ottoman Empire to make way for the Jews to return to the land. They have also anticipated a hostile relationship between Israel and the entire northern confederacy, including the EU and Russia.

Hello again. This is Paul Billington bringing you this week's edition of the Bible in the News. And this week we focus upon events in Europe. The Mail on Line (that is, the UK's Daily Mail news site) carried a stunning headline that read "Rise of the Fourth Reich, How Germany is using the Financial Crisis to Conquer Europe."

On August 24 the Associated Press ran the headline, "Israeli Air Strike Kills Gaza Militant", followed by the report that: "Israeli air strikes killed a local commander of the Islamic Jihad militant group in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and wounded two militants who launched rockets at Israel, despite a two-day-old truce, Israeli and Palestinian officials said."

Syria is in turmoil, Libyan rebels continue to press toward the capital as Qaddafi clings to power, the Arabs prepare to take the issue of the Palestinian state to the UN, Iran makes a deal with Russia in regards to its nuclear program and terror attacks and rockets strike Israel! This is David Billington with the Bible in the News.

A week of riots and looting in England is but the symptom of something much more ominous and threatening. Like a volcano preparing to erupt, Britain's immoral society is a Sodom and Gomorrah waiting to happen!

When we survey world events this week, we are struck with the feeling that everything is moving. In the financial world nothing is certain as investors scramble to find a safe haven.

Then there is the devastating famine in East Africa, which is being made w...

This is Dave Billington with you for this weeks Bible in the News. Hebrew was once a language considered holy and not for every day use, but today it is the living national language of the modern state of Israel.

Quoting Albert Einstein: A people, a nation, is like a tree which is born with its own shadow. The higher the tree the longer its shadow. If you like you may call it not a shadow but fate. The shadow of the Jewish people is prophecy--vision of the end of the days. The shadow of the Romans was fame, domination of foreign lands. The shadow of the Russians is anti-Semitism.

The scriptures indicate a course for Britain separate to the rest of Europe. Top British policy makers are moving away from Europe as they realize how much sovereignty Britain has lost.

We are now approaching lunar sunrise and, for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. A...
