Bible in the News

Russia increases its military aggressiveness and has Europe "over a barrel" when it comes to a response. Russia's hegemony is increased to include the other players described in Ezekiel 38.

Hello again! This is Paul Billington with another edition of the Bible in the News. As the stand-off between Russia and the West continues this week, and U.S. warships cross the Black Sea with “aid” to Georgia, one thing seems fairly clear; When the Bear comes to push and shove, Europe will capitulate. A few noises of protest maybe--but certainly no will to fight for freedom. In accord...

Welcome to the August 28th edition of the Bible in the News, this is David Billington. The crisis in Georgia continues to smolder and is now shifting to a confrontation between Russia and the United States. The situation in the Black Sea is tense and has the potential of being explosive as Russian vessels patrol in close quarters with US and NATO vessels. Then there is the Turkish Navy deployed in...

Hello, this is Paul Billington with another edition of the Bible in the News--and an opportunity for us to digest the implication of Russia's move into Georgia, and her threats to other countries in Eastern Europe.

Welcome to a special extended edition of the Bible in the News. This week we invite you to view interactive slides and listen to a recorded presentation given by Paul Billington on Wednesday August 13 before a large audience in Brantford, Canada. Consequently there is no printed version available this week. The presentation lasts about an hour and was preceded by a reading of Ezekiel chapter 38.

Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington who is once again trying to impress all of you out there with the significance of what is happening upon the mountains of Israel today, and more specifically among the people who dwell there in the so-called Jewish "settlements."

The announcement made today, Wednesday July 30th, that Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will resign in September, was hardly a surprise. There had been speculation about it for weeks as six corruption charges were being investigated against Olmert who one Israeli member of parliament described as "the worst leader in Israeli history."

Hello again: this is Paul Billington with another week's Bible in the News. While I was in Britain last week, the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was visiting Israel and became the first British Prime Minister ever to address the Knesset, Israel's parliament. He claimed that Britain today "shares an unbreakable partnership" with Israel, "based on shared values of liberty, democracy and justi...

This week the Middle East has been focused on the so-called prisoner exchange between Israel and the terrorist organization Hezbollah--but aren't prisoners supposed to be alive? Israel received two dead bodies in exchange for some living terrorists including a notorious one, Samir Kuntar. Israel National News gives us the background on this beast:

Hello everyone: this is Paul Billington with a somewhat late edition of the Bible in the News for this week. We should present this on Thursdays, but circumstances hindered us this week, so here I am rather late on Friday July 11th seeking to fulfill my obligation for this week. Well, we began the day today--as we do most days--by reading a portion of Scripture. We follow a Bible reading scheme th...

"My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war." Psalm 120:5,6 On Wednesday an Arab went on a terror rampage in Jerusalem killing three and wounding 66. Driving out of a construction site onto Jaffa road he turned the massive front end loader into a machine of terror; crushing cars and repeatedly ramming a bus until it flipped. A mother thre...

Anyone who scans the news headlines about Islamic terrorism or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict these days must surely conclude that world leaders and especially the Israeli and U.S. leaders, are... well; fools. Surely, one may think, these leaders are complete idiots!

The Bible describes the nations of Europe giving their power and strength to the beast, yet Ireland has rejected the treaty throwing the EU into chaos. What does the Bible say? What does this mean for European nations like Britain?

Britain and the Western World's dependence on oil is driving them toward interests in the Middle East. Russia does not look like a viable energy partner, so the West will have to look to the Middle East. Whether they like it or not they are being drawn into the arena of Armageddon.

Hello again: this is Paul Billington with another edition of the Bible in the News--and it is amazing how much the Bible--and especially Bible prophecy--features in the constant flow of news reports that come to us via the numerous media-forms in the modern world.

Welcome to the May 29, 2008 edition of Bible in the News, this is Glenn Abel reporting. The week began with the attention of the world being drawn to man’s activities and aspirations in space, as the latest “mission to Mars” landed successfully. The high-fives, fist-pumping, and backslapping were in stark contrast to the tension present during the final minutes of the “Phoe...

Welcome to Bible in the News a weekly podcast on Bible Prophecy which we see being fulfilled in our newspaper headlines week by week. This is David Billington with you. It has been announced that Israel is holding informal peace talks with the Syrians. The Syrians want the Golan Heights, captured by Israel during the June 1967 war, returned. If they achieved this it would be a major boost to their...

As the world is rocked by the literal sea and waves roaring, the political seas and waves are also roaring. Israel is celebrating 60 years since the State was proclaimed in 1948 - a testimony to the existence of God and proof the Bible is true. Russia has changed presidents and a hint of future directions is given in the inaugural speeches. NATO is loosing its influence and Russia is looking to ta...

It is interesting, to say the least, that as the Canadian news magazine "MACLEAN'S" offers us a front cover story entitled "Why Israel can't survive," Israelis themselves--and Jews elsewhere--have been observing Holocaust Remembrance Day, and those terrible events in which six million Jews were murdered by Europeans.

This is Paul Billington bringing you another edition of the Bible in the News--and once again the Bible is reflected in the news of the past week. This time our focus is upon Libya, though this is connected to other powers that are referred to in prophecy, such as Russia, Iran and the Anglo-Americans.

The Associated Press reported yesterday: "His 90-minute visit to the White House — only the second ever by a pope — was accompanied by the kind of pomp and pageantry rarely seen even on grounds accustomed to welcoming royalty and the world's most important leaders."

This is the Bible in the News with Paul Billington speaking with you from Ontario, Canada. On Wednesday morning we learnt from news headlines that Palestinians had attacked a fuel supply depot on the Israeli-Gaza border at Nahal Oz, killing two civilian Israeli workers. According to the Associated Press report:

The age old conflict in the Middle East has gone through many metamorphoses but the final outcome remains certain. While America may talk of isolationism God has indicated a course for the Tarshish powers to take. The end of the conflict will play out as the Bible has predicted since the hostility between God's people and the world was announced in Genesis 3:15.

Welcome to this week's edition of the Bible in the News; this is Paul Billington bringing you a somewhat late edition this week, due to our visit into Toronto to hear a speech by the Israeli political leader Moshe Feiglin, who has been recently banned from entering the United Kingdom by that country's Home Office. It was an opportunity not to be missed: What would we find? A rabble-rouser? Incitem...
