The world keeps trying to get the Jews out of Judah, but they just don't seem to be able to achieve their goals. This is David Billington with you for the Bible in the News.

Just as we publish Bible in the News this week, there has been a horrific terror attack in Jerusalem. The terror attack was a shooting attack in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, which is the most prestigious religious zionist education institution. This attack was perpetrated at the heart of Religious Zionism. Mercaz Harav was founded by the late Rabbi Yitzhak HaCohen Kook and led after his death by his...

Welcome to the Bible in the News, this is David Billington. A headline in the National Post in Canada today read, "Arctic debate could result in armed conflict." The first paragraph of the article reads:

As the world reels from political earthquakes, the declaration of independence in Kosovo and Russia's reaction, The 5th Annual Jerusalem conference is going on. One of the main issues: Jerusalem!

Fall of a terrorist, the elusive mass-murderer Mughniyeh meets his death, bringing the mid-east to the brink of war once again, American presidential race candidate Obama says: "Yes, we can heal this nation" and a Man kills 5 and himself at a northern Illinois University.

Travel to Judea with Paul Billington for a live interview with David Wilder, the spokesman for the Jewish community in Hebron. This weeks Bible in the News is currently audio only, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Welcome to the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington speaking with you from Jerusalem in Israel--and as I speak it is a Jerusalem that is covered with a blanket of snow, bringing to mind those words of Isaiah the prophet:

World Financial Crisis... Biblical Investment Advice Behind the headlines.... What does all this mean? Blair for EU President... Power shifted to Europe

A seal of one of the temple servants or "Nethinim" has been discovered in Jerusalem, at a sensitive time when there is talk of turning over eastern Jerusalem and the temple mount to the Arabs. Indeed, a small party in the Israeli ruling coalition government, quit this week because these things were on the table in the so called "peace talks". What an incredible discovery! For a 2500 year old artif...

"There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. These negotiations must ensure that Israel has secure, recognized, and defensible borders. And they must ensure that the state of Palestine is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent."

"And to the angel of the ecclesia in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." The door is op...

As the nations of the world are arming and being prepared to take up the positions described for them by the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel, an exit door is being prepared to remove Britain from Europe.

Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" is Putin. Russian's are hailing it as a victory and no doubt--whether intended to or not--it will boost Putin's popularity.

This is the Bible in the News; and this is Paul Billington at the desk to offer some comments about it. It has been an interesting week again in many respects, but among all the news stories a really significant one has been the landslide election victory for Vladimir Putin in Russia. As reported by the Associated Press:

This is the Bible in the News with Paul Billington commenting on it--and of course, the news that most Bible believers are watching right now, is the one-day long Annapolis summit and its results. Exactly what, if anything, has this hyped-up event achieved?

This is The Bible in the News with Paul Billington; and the Bible certainly is in the news this week! As many will know, Ezekiel chapter 38 speaks of Russia coming "against the mountains of Israel" (see verse 8). So the news that Russia is to send a shipment of armoured vehicles, plus 1,000 rifles and TWO MILLION rounds of ammunition to Palestinians in the West Bank (the mountains of Israel) can h...

Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington bringing you this week's edition--and as we look at the news headlines this week, we have to stress just how important it is that we do NOT leave the Bible out of the news! To do so could, and probably would, lead us to make all kinds of wrong conclusions.

This is the Bible in the News with Paul Billington back at the desk this week looking at his Bible, as well as at what is happening out there making the news.

This Friday November 2nd is the 90th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. This is David Billington with the November 1st edition of the Bible in the News. On October 31st, 1917 in the third battle of Gaza led by the British General Allenby, the British succeeded in braking through the Turkish defenses at Beersheba. A key engagement in that battle was a bold charge by 500 members of the Light Ho...

It was just over 14 years ago, that then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin shook hands with Arafat, in what was supposed to be the road to peace. Yesterday was 12 years since Yitzhak Rabin was murdered after a peace rally in Tel-Aviv. The official story is that Rabin was assassinated by a right wing religious Jew, however many Israelis question this story today. In fact, in a poll done by the I...

The United States and Russia are forming two alliances, one in the North and one in the South. These alliances will eventually clash as the Bible predicts in Ezekiel 38 and Daniel 11.

By surrendering their national sovereignty and switching to the Euro, the once weak nations of Europe are gaining economic power as a unit. Nations all over the world have to pay attention to the economic clout of the European Union and the tentacles of its regulations.

The growth of Russian spending on its military points toward the soon fulfillment of Daniel 11 and Ezekiel 38. Putin looks to become PM to hold on to power... God has other ideas that are laid out in the prophets.

Why would anyone be in favour of a Palestinian state? Hi, this is David Billington with the Bible in the News. Today according to Israel National News some 30 mortar shells and rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel.
