Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the West has made a coordinated effort to isolate Russia, cutting off financial and computer services dependent on the Internet. These moves could backfire now that Russia has been forced to operate independent of the West. An attack by Russia on offshore infrastructure, such as Internet cables, would cause catastrophic economic damage to the West, but significantly l...

Ezekiel 38 describes a changing of the guard in the hegemony over Europe from the USA into Russia's Court. France's Macron has advocated moving away from US hegemony financially, militarily and industrially.

This week we witness the AUKUS deal - signifying Tarshish and her young lions rallying together and strengthening ties as we’d expect from Bible prophecy.

The recently sworn in government of Israel, is by far the most religious, right wing government in Israel’s history. The repercussions of this government have already been felt in many ways. One of the hallmarks of the new government’s first months in office has been the controversial Judicial reforms.

Putin has put Russia on a war footing, turning its defence industries into round-the-clock production facilities. He has suspended Russia's involvement in the START Nuclear Treaties, causing fear in the west of nuclear war. The scripture predicts the preparations for war and the re-armament of the world in anticipation of Armageddon. 

This week a Bible is literally in the news as it has been announced that the world’s oldest complete Hebrew Bible, the Codex Sassoon is going up for auction this May.

We review what the Bible says about earthquakes in the latter days as major earthquakes rock the Middle East.

It was just under a year ago, on February 24 that Russia invaded Ukraine. The war has not gone in a way that many had expected. Russia moved in quickly, it seemed like Ukraine would fall and the war would be over in short order. This however did not happen. From a Bible prophecy stand point we understand that the angels are at work and they will bring a situation out of this war, beyond what we ma...

Russia was long understood to be the power referenced in Ezekiel 38 as Rosh, and today it is standing up against Ukraine and the west with an imperialist dream of rebuilding its empire.  Although Germany, France, and the United States want to hold Russia back, they are hesitant to provide the real military support Ukraine needs.  Regardless, under pressure they are slowing getting dragge...

Israel’s national birth is completely unique and an absolute miracle. This year marks the 75th anniversary since Israel’s birth in 1948. As far as nations go that is not a long time. It’s only 78 years since the end of World War II in Europe and the surrender of Germany on May 8, 1945. Before that date the Jewish people in Europe were being exterminated in the Nazi death camps &m...

Since the 1990s Israel’s politics have followed a general trend towards the right. The so called “peace process” championed by Israel’s left-leaning government of the time resulted in a worsening security situation which climaxed in the 2 nd  intifada in the early 2000s, and a new landscape of Israeli politics was born.  

Psalm 102:13-16 “ thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion, for time to favour her, yea the set time is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory .”

Welcome to our weekly Bible in the News podcast! We continue to watch Saudi Arabia with interest. You may remember some months ago, it was reported that Saudi Arabia had opened their airspace to Israeli planes. Well, things seem to be continuing to progress along those lines.

Recent events in Iran show the antagonism Iran has against the West and in particular Israel. This fits the pattern of the Bible prophecies that depict Iran as an aggressor against Israel in the latter days.

The angel said to the prophet Daniel in chapter 12, that, “...many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” We live in an age when knowledge has increased astronomically. Mankind’s knowledge of the universe, the world in which we live, the delicate balance and design of the human body, the intricacies of cell life and so much more has proliferated. Yet in many cas...

Hello and welcome to this weeks bible in the news. We are now coming to the end of the 9 th  month of the war in Ukraine, which was expected by many to be over within just a few weeks, if not days. Before the invasion the Russian military had supposedly undergone major restructuring and modernisation. It was feared and believed to be only second to the U.S in military might. This all changed...

The American Election shows the extreme divide in America. The struggle for who will be king of the hill brings the basest characteristics of men to the front. God's future kingdom will provide righteous rule, saving humanity from itself and setting up godly principles to govern. It will respect God's will and not the will of the people.

The right is back in Israel with a solid majority.  What may this mean for actual policy on the ground and how does it relate to Bible prophecy?

As the war continues in Ukraine, Russian missiles have been pounding energy facilities and other such infrastructure across Ukraine. This week, I’d like to take a bigger picture view of the invasion that has dominated headlines for months and talk about a man called Alexander Dugin.
