Bible in the News

Originally Produced December 2006 This is the Bible in the News with Paul Billington talking with you this week about Iran, Holocaust denial, and the response to it by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Centre in Jerusalem. To many of us, denying the Nazi Holocaust of World War II is only possible if you are a crank--a madman--and obsessed by a hatred of reality as well as of the Jews. It is hard t...

Shana Tovah. It's the Jewish new year. Welcome to Bible in the News, with you this week is David Billington. As the new Jewish year comes in the Middle East it is a very turbulent situation and the future looks very bleak--especially without the Bible. For this weeks Bible in the News we want to assess Israel's situation in the Middle East and try and see where things are headed with Bible in hand...

Welcome to the September 6, 2007 edition of the Bible in the News at www.bibleinthenews.com, this is David Billington. "Never Again" has become a famous Jewish motto in regards to the Holocaust and we may wonder, could the Holocaust happen again? Jeremiah the prophet through the spirit wrote that: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" To this agree the...

Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington presenting this weeks comment from a somewhat different angle as we take a look at the news in the Bible. Yes, the Bible is always in the news, as our comments week-by-week demonstrate on a regular basis. But that is because (putting it the other way round), the news is in the Bible. This of course is the meaning of that...

The song we just heard: "Am Yisrael Chai" - the people of Israel live, and "Od Avinu Chai" -Still our Father lives, is a famous song written by the Singing Rabbi, Shlomo Carlebach in the sixties on behalf of Soviet Jewry who was trapped in the former communist empire. The song became a kind-of anthem for the Jews of the Soviet. It was about 17 years ago that the Soviet Union collapsed and the door...

I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah, and, although it be that he will tarry, with all this I will wait for him, in every day that he will come. This is article 12 of the 13 articles of the Jewish faith--central to Judaism and something I also personally believe with perfect faith. This is David Billington with this weeks Bible in the News.

This is the Bible in the News brought to you this week by Paul Billington. Not too many people will connect the two news stories this week that tell us what Israel is planning and doing in the West Bank, and Russia's claim to the vast energy reserves thought to be beneath the North Pole. The connection between these two events can only be appreciated through Bible prophecy, and through Ezekiel's p...

This is the Bible in the News with Paul Billington. The prophets foretold it. Bible expositors over many centuries expected it. Today we see it as a reality in the modern world. The restoration of the Jewish nation is a fact that no one can deny; Israel is in the news and consequently the Bible is in the news, even if Israel itself doesn't seem to know it!

This is the Bible in the News, and this is Paul Billington speaking about it. In Israel today, 600 French Jews arrived as new immigrants to the country. They are mainly religious Zionists who see the Hand of God at work in the restoration of Israel. At the same time the Olmert Government is hosting representatives of Arab Governments with the purpose of talking about giving away land in exchange f...

This is The Bible in the News--and this is Paul Billington commenting on it--Thursday, July 19, 2007. Once again we have seen a week packed with events which demonstrate to us that the Hand of God is at work among the nations bringing about His great purpose in the earth. The God of Israel, who caused the Bible to be written, giving us His revelation, will bring events in this world to such a cris...

This is another edition of the Bible in the News, and this is Paul Billington back with you after a few weeks absence. Well, the Battle for Bible Truth seems to have gained another small piece of evidence this week as a tiny Babylonian tablet has been deciphered at the British Museum in London, England. According to news reports the tablet is 2,500 years old and makes mention of a little known cha...

Israel's religious leaders turn to the God of Israel in prayer echoing the words of Daniel and Nehemiah as they call for the God of their fathers in intervene in the nation's life and send the redemption.

The division between Hamas and Fatah reminds us of the times in the Old Testament when God turned "every man’s sword against his brother". While the pot is boiling in the Middle East, Tony Blair has been appointed as envoy for Middle East peace, amidst reports of his immanent conversion to Catholicism.

News reports inform us that Syria is preparing for war with Israel in the summer. Who will Israel lean upon should such a conflict errupt? Will God preserve Olmert as he did Israel's leaders of old?

Hello once again. This is Paul Billington bringing you another edition of the Bible in the News as we watch the much vaunted two-state solution going up in the Iranian-backed smoke of Hamas.

Welcome to a special edition of the Bible in the News in which we are going to remember the events of 40 years ago with some miraculous events that took place at that time. With me today is Dave, Dave Billington; and Dave the only way you can remember these things is through the various recordings and so on that have been left for us, but in that way you can experience it too, right?

Israel, it seems, is in deep trouble. Forty years after the stunning victory of June 1967, we find her groping around for a rational policy, for meaningful and trustworthy leadership, and for a pathway to peace. What Israel needs to do is to turn to the Bible; her troubles exist today because she has forgotten her God. The front cover of THE ECONOMIST this week declares more than its editors reali...

The competition for power in the Middle East has been hotting up this week with Palestinians fighting each other in Gaza, with Lebanese troops pounding Palestinian refugee camps, Arabs talking tough to one another--and to Iran--while the United States puts on a show of force in the Gulf. Not to mention rockets being fired into Israel and some retaliation to that. With such madness and a mixed-up p...

This is another edition of the Bible in the News brought to you this week by Paul Billington. Welcome to some thought-provoking analysis of the news from a Bible perspective--and a different approach from those shallow and meaningless news digests that you could read for yourself or hear on the radio. Our purpose is to stimulate interest and thought--not only about the news headlines--but also abo...

This is Paul Billington with another edition of the Bible in the News--a weekly look at a selected news item from a Bible perspective.

Today Israel is a country without leadership. One commentator on the Israeli Ynet News wrote: "It is time to call elections because we are going nowhere. There is no leadership. We are in the pits politically, militarily and socially." There is extensive corruption in the ruling elite--there are suspicions against the finance minister, the president Moshe Katsav has suspended himself because of ra...

Hello once again: This is Paul Billington with another edition of the Bible in the News. The Bible IS in the News constantly. As we survey the scene today--and especially in the Middle East, Europe and Russia--we see how Bible prophecy is being fulfilled as nations, and blocks of nations move into the positions foretold many centuries ago. The Middle East seems to be dividing in a North-South orie...

Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News. This is Paul Billington back with you after a few weeks absence during which we have been overseas, taking part in a prophecy day in Kent UK, and gathering material for another edition of the Bible Magazine which will be due out in early July.

Welcome to www.bibleinthenews.com, this is David Billington with the April 11 edition. There is much to discuss in the news this week. The headline of the Guardian newspaper in the UK today reads: "Russia threatening new cold war over missile defense. Kremlin accuses US of deception on east European interceptor bases." The first paragraph reads: "Russia is preparing its own military response to th...

The Iranians have succeeded in making Great Britain look weak, parading their apologetic soldiers on television. Aside from draining every ounce of propaganda from the incident the Iranians may have received much more. The Telegraph in the UK reported that: "It is not yet clear what conditions, if any, were attached to the release of the sailors, though Mr Ahmadinejad said that he had received ass...
