  Current Events 25 Years Since September the 11th 14.09.2026 12min

  It’s 25 years since the September 11th twin towers or World Trade Center attacks in New York. Those events shook and changed the world, resulting in America launching it’s war on terrorism. It was an attack on the World Trade Center and what that center represented. America is a trading nation. It is no coincidence that the key nations that joined the American led coalition at that time were also trading nations, such as the UK and Australia. Several times in recent history these nations have been drawn into wars in the Middle East to protect trading partners and key trade routes.

  Russia has been held back, but will break forth 06.09.2026 20min

  Global attention has shifted from the Russia–Ukraine war toward the Middle East and Iran. Bible prophecy identifies Russia with the “Prince of Rosh” and “King of the North”, and speaks of a Russian-led alliance that will control Europe and invade Israel. Russia’s current difficulties are a temporary period of being “held back,” which has allowed Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to be degraded and has created conditions for peace and prosperity in Israel. European countries are strengthening borders, expanding armed forces, and introducing or considering military-service programs, while Russia is preparing to mobilize additional troops. The path pointed out in the prophetic scriptures is inevitable.

  Who are the Governors of Judah in Zechariah 12? 26.08.2026 13min

  While there are many passages in scripture that describe the latter days, Zechariah 12 may well be one of the under-appreciated ones! The purpose of this week's Bible in the News is a little different and is focussed on one particular passage. It's important that we have a strong Bible foundation when looking at the signs of the times in our world today.

  The Pricking Brier of Islamism is Turning Westward 17.08.2026 8min

  Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News brought to you this week by Tim Billington. Here is a video version: Israel is still troubled by the Islamic threat within and around them.  It is also no longer the days of incessant terror attacks that constantly took out scores of people in cafes and on buses, either.  This Islamic threat is now harassing the West, too.  We are also seeing the international threat grow, especially in Europe.

  Is Benjamin Netanyahu a War Criminal? 02.08.2026 11min

  Zohran Mandani is the recently elected Mayor of New York City. This gives him an international well-respected position to voice his views. New York City is currently home to nearly 1 million Jews. Last week, Netanyahu visited Trump at the Whitehouse. This is what Zohran Mamdani said about him as he posted a video that was framed almost as an apology that he did not have the power to arrest Netanyahu in New York. Here is what Zohran Mamdani said on the 22nd July:

  Conquering the Hilltops of Judea 05.07.2026 14min

  The settlements being built in Judea and Samaria (a.k.a the cradle of ancient Jewish civilisation) are a witness to the hand of God at work with his people Israel in the latter days. This week, further building approvals in the Binyamin region remind us of that once again.

  Iran War Update 28.06.2026 7min

  The United States and Israel attacked Iran together on the 28th of February 2026. Within a week hundreds of targets were hit throughout Iran, killing thousands of IRGC personnel, including the supreme leader Ali Khamenei himself. Along with the military strikes, cyber attacks took over media organisations and telephones, broadcasting messages encouraging the Iranian people to rise up against their government.  It was clear that the strategy was regime change.

  The Strong Arm of Peace - Trump Forces the Abraham Accords 31.05.2026 29min

  Throughout this week, President Trump repeatedly called for 6 Arab States to join the Abraham Accords, stating it was mandatory. The US administration repeatedly insisted Iran will not get a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel with, which is in keeping with Bible Prophecy. The US is pushing to have the Gulf Nations join Israel in creating an unprecedented age of peace and prosperity in the region.  This is what the Bible indicates will ultimately be achieved:  Iran will survive to fight again, the Gulf States will form an alliance with the Merchant Powers of Tarshish, and peace will come to the region with the associated prosperity.

  Farage causes Starmergeddon in some local UK elections 23.05.2026 11min

  A couple of weeks ago, many of the people of this Island went out to vote in the local elections. Local elections are typically a fairly boring part of politics, where local councillors are chosen across different regions of the country. Often, the party in power does badly, as people use their vote to voice frustration at the direction of government in Westminster. However, this year, the local elections were different. The reason they were different, was largely because of the meteoric rise of one man: Nigel Farage.

  Plowshares into Swords and Volkswagens into Panzers. 09.05.2026 27min

  The disruption of the global economy and stability is causing nations like Germany to shift from pacifist product production to military manufacturing. The Bible is clear that this is how things will unfold. Trump’s tariffs and threats to pull out of NATO are having a significant dual-impact on the German economy.

  Tarshish & the Enduring Anglo-American Bond 30.04.2026 22min

  Hello and welcome to another Bible in the News. This week the world watched a remarkable scene: King Charles III addressing the United States Congress during his state visit to America. Nearly 250 years after American independence, a British monarch stood before American lawmakers and celebrated not division, but deep and enduring unity. For Bible students, the moment was striking - for in Ezekiel 38:13 we read: “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?” This prophetically places a nation called Tarshish, in the latter days (after Israel has been regathered to their land - Ezekiel 38:8), when a group of nations headed up by a character called Gog comes down against the mountains of Israel. When this event happens, the prophecies tell us it will herold the return of Jesus Christ to the earth who will establish God’s Kingdom. If Tarshish is Britain, then one of her clearest young lions is America. And this enduring bond is what we are witnessing this week - a sure sign of our times.

  Will NATO survive? The Bible says "No!" 12.04.2026 31min

  The current crisis in the Middle East is beginning to disintegrate NATO. The nations of the 70-year-old alliance are pulling in different directions, causing it to tear apart. The Bible is clear about what alliances will exist in the latter days. In this Bible in the News, we examine the evidence the Bible gives for the direction things will inevitably go.

  Israel: a people being transformed! 06.04.2026 23min

  When people arrived at Ben Gurion airport in Israel after October 7, 2023, they were greeted by rows of posters displayed for each  of the 251 hostages taken to Gaza on that dreadful day along the entry hallway. When we recently arrived in Israel on January 26 there was only one remaining hostage poster for Ran Gvili, whose body had been held in Gaza for 843 days. His body was identified and returned to Israel on the day we arrived, January 26, 2026. After going through customs we headed for the airport train station to ascend up to Jerusalem. On the columns in the train station there were many stickers which were in memory of fallen soldiers. One sticker had just one word, “v’ahavta.” The word on the sticker had vowel pointing such as is generally only used in the Hebrew scriptures. It only appears 6 times in the scriptures, meaning, “and you shall love.” Passages such as Leviticus 19:18, “but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Leviticus 19:34 "But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself.” Deuteronomy 6:5, "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” That was the message of this memorial sticker.

  The Iran War and the Growing Influence of Russia 13.03.2026 11min

  Recent news reports suggest that events in the Middle East are reshaping the global balance of power in a way that students of Bible prophecy have long expected. Rising oil prices, war between Israel and Iran, and renewed Russian influence are combining to create a geopolitical picture that aligns remarkably well with the outline given in Scripture.Welcome to another Bible in the News.

  UPDATE: US-Israel Strikes on Iran 08.03.2026 10min

  On the 28th of February, last Saturday, the US and Israel launched airstrikes on major Iranian cities, including Tehran AND Isfahan among others. They targeted air defences, missile units and suspected nuclear weapons related facilities. The US have claimed to have hit nearly 3000 targets and destroyed 17 naval vessels. And most importantly of all, the supreme leader of Iran was killed in the initial strikes along with at least 40 other high ranking officials. Reports have come out over the past week of how traffic cameras in Tehran were hacked by Israel and used to track the movements of Khomanei in order to pinpoint his whereabouts before the strike. The Jerusalem Post has reported that in the full week of fighting, 6500 bombs have been dropped in Iran by the IDF.
