- 865 - Iran Strikes Israel!
Last weekend the gloves finally came off. Choosing to send an army of 170 suicide drones, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles into foreign territory, is a virtual declaration of war with the country to which those missiles are sent.
This has been a long time in coming. For decades, Iran has hidden behind its proxies in the middle east and operated indirectly through those channels (Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis), fearing direct reprisals from Israel. For the first time since the Iranian Revolution, Iran attacked Israel from their own soil.

The world is highly distressed at the potential outcomes in the Middle East, whether of Israel's entry into Rafah and the response of the surrounding nations or the possibility of a direct strike on Israel by Iran and the ensuing war that might follow. In this troubled sea of political turmoil, the Bible holds out a message of hope.

This week hundreds of thousands around the world joined together for a special hour of prayer for the hostages still held in Gaza. The special day of prayer, was organized to fall on the day of Esther’s feast — which she held to out Haman’s wicked plan to the Persian King. Now on this Purim, we find the State of Israel in a position not unlike that which they have experienced many times throughout history.

The translation of the Bible into English transformed England and influenced her colonies around the world. It was understood to be the secret of England’s greatness, and created a uniquely Bible culture in society. As would be expected this common reading of the Old and New Testaments resulted in not only a Bible based society, but unsurprisingly a society that was sympathetic to the Jewish cause.

How is it possible that employees of the UN could have been involved in the October 7th terrorist attacks against the Jewish people? The answer is because of an organisation called UNRWA - The United nations relief and works agency - an organisation apparently existing to deliver aid to the Gazan Arabs and those who were made refugees during the 1948 war of independence.

As tensions boil over in the Middle East, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have once again been pulled military into the region. Reluctant as some of them may be to support Israel, they have had no choice but to lend their support to the region to defend their shipping interests. As the biblical "ships of a Tarshish", they have been called upon to protect the region. The Houthi attacks have forced them back into a role they don't want to take on. The fate of Yemen is also clearly outlined in the Bible.

In a Policy Analysis for the Washington institute, Matthew Levitt writes the following: “As details emerge of potential direct links to the attack on Israel, one thing is clear: Hamas would not have been able to plan and conduct such an operation without years of Iranian training, Iranian weapons, and hundreds of millions of dollars in Iranian funding”.
While the exact nature of Iran’s involvement in the October 7th Terrorist Attacks is unknown, there was clearly some level of coordination.

Israel will not be living in the peace and safety spoken of in Ezekiel 38 until there is peace within its own territory. Many see the conflict as unsolvable - but the prophecy says that Israeli will live in peace at the time just prior to Christ appearing to Israel.

All over the world we are witnessing an outbreak of abominable antisemitism. Reports of these incidents have been heard to some extent on the media, but I have seen more reports on social media and even heard personal stories. Rather than taking a firm stand to stomp it out, little is being done to eradicate it. Even western governments, who in some cases may have made some bold statements, in practice have done little to stymie it. The media has fanned the flames of these often violent demonstrations, with inflammatory, distorted reports.

Hamas is an organization dedicated to the destruction of the Jews so that the land of Israel might be theirs alone, from the river to the sea. The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank celebrates in Hamas' horrific pogrom against Jews and calls on its people to join in the bloodshed. The "innocent civilians" have voted these bloodthirsty people into power, and call for the wrath of God to measure out their destruction. He who touches Israel touches the apple of His eye. God will soon bring peace to Israel, and when Russia comes with the nations, "to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey..." God will send his Son to save His people and judge those who have come against them.

American financial support for Ukraine was stripped from the US budget this past week, but that is only the tip of the iceberg for Ukraine. The decline of its population and simply running out of soldiers is causing its ability to defend itself to collapse. Even the world's media must concede the battle is all but lost. The Bible has clearly stated Russia will be supreme in Europe at the time of the end. We are witnessing the angelic hand at work in bringing about God's purpose with the world in leading it to Armageddon, where it will be humbled.

2024 marks 140 years since the foundation of Yesod Ha’malah, the first modern Jewish settlement in the Huleh valley, in northern Israel in 1884! The community is currently preparing to celebrate this anniversary. The name for the community was aptly taken from Ezra 7:9 where is tells the story of the return from the Babylon exile saying: “For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. ”. Yesod Ha’malah, is the “beginning” or “foundation” of going up. Today the story of Yesod Ha’malah is told at the Dubrovin Farmstead museum, just outside of the community. Christadelphians donated crucial funds at the very beginning to help the fledging community.

An attack by Russia on offshore infrastructure, such as Internet cables, would cause catastrophic economic damage to the West, but significantly less to an increasingly isolated Russia. Putin seems to be preparing options for retaliation that may have seemed unthinkable during more peaceful times.

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 may have anticipated.

- 805 - The Nations United Against Israel
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 — the most organized and documented genocide ever. Before the Jewish people were regathered to their ancient homeland, they were dispersed in over 100 different countries, speaking over 80 different languages. When the state of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, 5 established and well equipped Arab armies immediately invaded the newborn country. In another miracle, Israel survived this onslaught. How they came to form a nation, from the ashes of the Holocaust, against all odds is truly a stunning miracle. Israel has also become one of the more advanced nations in the world, producing many advancements and inventions in science, medicine, technology and national defence.

Yet in many cases this knowledge has not been used for good. Man has also learnt the art of warfare and destruction as never before. Instead of making plowshares, man is making swords. All this accumulated knowledge is stored on massive interconnected computer servers and can be retrieved in a moment via the internet.

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 within the first week of the war, which exposed major deficiencies in its capabilities, particularly in regard to logistics, discipline, corruption, moral and training.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has announced a partial military mobilization, of about 300,000 reservists. This is thought to be due largely to Russia’s setback in Ukraine. Although achieving many objectives in Ukraine, Russia has struggled more than expected. We may wonder if there are any prophetical reasons for these set backs. We are given certain prophetical snapshots, such as Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 gives us a picture of the situation when Gog will invade the land of Israel and subsequently be destroyed. How the situation described in Ezekiel 38 comes about, is not revealed in its entirety. We can learn more by piecing prophecies together, but often events happen which we did not expect, or there are twists and turns along the way. However, overall things keep moving in the expected direction and the prophetical snapshot comes into focus.

- 790 - The Russian Bear Comes Out Swinging in Wake of G7 Move to Contain it.
Russia has shut off the gas to France and Germany, causing havoc in these nations as it moves to cripple Europes economies, retaliating against G7 moves to cap oil pricing. The Bible is clear that Russia will be resurgent, but the West is still trying to deal with things as the "wish they were and not as they actually are."
Sun, 04 Sep 2022 - 14min - 789 - Russian armed forces set to increase
Russia is set to increase its military personnel size indicating a commitment to war. It also believes its military equipment is superior to its rivals. All of this is what we'd expect living in the time before Jesus Christ returns.

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 - 16min - 787 - Technology and the Battle for the Mind
Pew Research's latest technology survey released last week shows that smartphone and social media use is almost universal among teens, who use the Internet daily, many almost constantly. Studies show that the constant interruption of our thoughts limits deep learning and critical thinking making us susceptible to believing false information. Technology companies are determining the way people think and it is time to put down our smartphones, to take back control and to refocus our minds on developing the mind of Christ. (Note that the audio and print editions contain some different, but complementary information).

It has been a tumultuous week. The war continues in Ukraine. Israel has been fighting for 3 days against the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, which has been launching hundreds of rockets against Israeli civilians. Meanwhile at the other side of the world, China was on the brink of war against Taiwan and possibly the United States.
Mon, 08 Aug 2022 - 07min - 785 - Israel Continues to be Settled upon the Mountains of Israel
Two years ago Israel’s High Court ruled that the residents of the unauthorised Israeli Settlement of Mitzpeh Kramim had to be forcibly removed from the hill top and the settlement demolished following a land dispute. However, this week the High Court reversed this ruling on appeal, saying that the settlement had been built in “good faith” and could remain. Some suggest this ruling could end up leaving a precedent for a multitude of similar cases throughout the West Bank, where there are ongoing legal disputes over the land on which settlements are built.

This week the Pope of Rome has come to Canada to give apologies on behalf of the Roman Church for the crimes that were committed in Indian residential schools in Canada by its priests and nuns.

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 - 00min - 783 - Biden's Bizarre Trip to the Middle East
Biden's trip to the Middle East was fraught with embarrassing gaffs and resulted in very little to show. While he didn't follow Obama's lead, the army behind him in the State Department was working wilily to try to undo the gains made during Trump's administration. The angels are at work behind the scenes to ensure that God's will is done, regardless of man's futile plans.

For months now rumours have been circulating that the British government was planning to scrap parts of the EU-UK withdrawal agreement which it signed up it after the 2019 General Election. This agreement is a legally binding agreement and was seen to be the foundation of the UK-EU relationship going forward after Britain’s departure from the European Union.

- 777 - Russia Eyes the World’s Food Supply – is Wheat the new Natural Gas?It’s no secret that Russia has used their position as an energy supplier to Europe for political gain. Back in January 2006 Russia cut off gas to Ukraine, which led to countries further down stream, such as Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia & Serbia also loosing supplies. Other countries such as France, Germany and Austria also saw significant reductions in supply from Russia. Russia again cut gas supplies in 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 after which Ukraine found new gas supplies from European Union Countries. More recently Russia has cut off gas supplies to Finland, Poland and Bulgaria during the on-going war in Ukraine.Wed, 01 Jun 2022 - 08min

- 775 - Russia, Europe, Israel and Gas
As Russia continues its aggression in the Ukraine it turns off the gas to parts of Europe. Europe responds seeking to ban Russian oil completely with plans underway to also ban Russian gas by the end of the decade. As all this unfolds, Israel eyes up the opportunities. In this weeks Bible in the News we consider these latest developments in the light of Bible prophecy.
Sat, 07 May 2022 - 10min - 774 - Come Forth Flee from the Land of the North!
One of the greatest outcomes of the war in Ukraine has been an impetus for a massive wave of immigration to Israel. This is presented by David Billington, in this special presentation on prophecy fulfilling delivered on April 13. For Bible in the News this week the presentation can be watched below.
Sat, 30 Apr 2022 - 00min - 773 - A New Wave of Jewish Immigration to Israel
Ukraine is in the news every day due to the ongoing war that shows no sign of ending any time soon. In this war, as with many wars refugees flee the conflict sometimes creating enormous upheavals in populations. When war broke out in Ukraine Israel was already preparing for what would inevitably occur, aliyah, a wave of Jewish immigration. And it did.
Mon, 25 Apr 2022 - 00min - 772 - Israel’s Growing Peace & Prosperity
The repercussions of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine are being felt around the globe. Israel is no exception. Ukrainian Jews, among those fleeing the conflict, are getting in line to immigrate to Israel. In Israel there is growing concern about the nation’s future relationship with Russia. It now has permanent military bases in Syria to the north and Russia is a key player in the nuclear negotiations with Iran. Meanwhile, Israel is making peace with its Arab neighbours and is positioned to benefit greatly from tightening global natural gas supply and its ability to offer alternative energy security to countries concerned about Russia. On April 1st, Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced the completion of negotiations and the signing of a “milestone” free-trade agreement.
Sun, 10 Apr 2022 - 18min - 771 - Russia's Bid for the Conquest of Europe
The kingdom of men is depicted in Daniel by the image of chapter 2. We live in the time of the feet and toes which are made of iron, the remnants of the Roman Empire, and clay described as “the seed of men.” Russia has begun the process of bringing the broken pieces of the Roman Empire into its clay grasp. Before Russia fulfills the prophetic word by invading the Middle East it must bring Europe under its control. This process has begun. This week in the Bible in the News we are sharing a special talk given in Brantford where we explore the Bible prophecies regarding Russia’s grand move to establish its image empire.

- 769 - The Tragedy in Ukraine, a Precursor to the Invasion of Israel
The West have shown themselves unable to do anything to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. Instead they can do nothing but stand by and watch, asking why Putin is doing this, words they will echo when they ask "Art thou come to take a spoil"
Sat, 12 Mar 2022 - 43min - 768 - The Rising of the King of Fierce Countenance
Vladimir Putin has begun the task long foretold in history of building up the image empire for the latter day battle of Armageddon. The world is in disbelief of Russia's actions as it moves to conquer Ukraine. As Bible believers we should not only expect it - but anticipate it will continue to eventually include all of Europe.
Sat, 05 Mar 2022 - 29min - 767 - Putin moves into Ancient Russian Lands to Rebuild the Empire
Events are taking place in Europe that the Bible spoke of, and therefore many Bible students have expected and looked for over hundreds, and even thousands of years. Even on this program we have spoke often of the time when Russia would begin to build up its empire. Welcome to another edition of the Bible in the News, this is John Billington with you
Sun, 27 Feb 2022 - 33min - 766 - An Aggressor in the North and a Friend in the South
The prophecy of Zechariah 6 is a prophecy concerning future events. The man who is the Branch is seen as both king and priest in his kingdom, with the holy temple being rebuilt. Most interestingly the chapter opens with two “mountain” powers seemingly to the north and south of Jerusalem in the context of the chapter. We are not left to wonder at these northern and southern powers as this prophecy fits hand in glove with the latter-day King of the North and King of the South in Daniel 11:40-45 and the northern and southern alliances in Ezekiel 38. This is John Billington with you this week.
Fri, 18 Feb 2022 - 00min - 765 - Freedom and the Threat of War
While the threat of Russian aggression on Ukraine escalates, protests calling for freedom from COVID mandates have spread from Canada to other western democracies.
