Settlers on The Mountains of Israel
Jerusalem and the mountains of Israel become the centre of international controversy again this week. We look at this in the light of Bible prophecy.
The Pricking Brier of Islamism is Turning Westward
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 al
Is Benjamin Netanyahu a War Criminal?
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 Netanya
Israel Boosts Ties with Middle East Nations
As Bible believers we know that prior to the Battle of Armageddon there will be a period of peace in the land of Israel. This peace is to be throughout the whole land, but particularly upon the “mountains of Israel”. This is most clear in Ezekiel 38 which describes a future event where the northern confederacy of nations comes against a land known as “the land of unwalled village
Bible Prophecy & The US Iran Conflict
This week the News has yet again been filled with stories about the US’s attacking Iran.There have been reports of consecutive nights of airstrikes happening on Iran since President Donald Trump declared the temporary ceasefire agreement was "over".The US is said to be hitting key infrastructure and its reported that airports, bridges and water utilities in parts of the country have been hit
Conquering the Hilltops of Judea
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
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
The World vs God's Name
Isaiah 30:27, AV“27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:”
Are you with Israel?
On a visit to Israel earlier this year we were able to visit Sderot which sits on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Sderot has experienced over 20,000 missile attacks since 2005 and faced continuous rocket fire from the Gaza Strip since 2001. The situation deteriorated after the “disengagement,” in 2005, when Israel under Ariel Sharon forced the Jewish residents of Gaza to
The New Wave of Catholic Antisemitism
Donald Trump has faced growing pressure from a loud minority both inside his administration and in his base to abandon Israel and the war on Iran. And it’s compounded by low polling numbers for the party in the upcoming midterm elections, economic pressure from the war, and real divide in his cabinet.
The Strong Arm of Peace - Trump Forces the Abraham Accords
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. &n
Farage causes Starmergeddon in some local UK elections
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 e
Plowshares into Swords and Volkswagens into Panzers.
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
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 3
Hormuz Uncertainty, Trump attacks the Pope & Israel builds more settlements
Will NATO survive? The Bible says "No!"
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!
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
The Iran War and the Growing Influence of Russia
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
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 init
War With Iran & A New Middle East
cThe Middle East is on fire and big change is on the horizon, just as we have expected from Bible Prophecy. Join us for an Unscripted! conversation as we discuss the events and how they relate to the return of the Messiah and all of us.
War with Iran – Operation Roaring Lion
Israel and the United States are at war with Iran with the first strikes resulting in the death of the Islamic leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with reports of as many as forty of the top leaders in Iran. The Israeli Air Force conducts its largest-ever attack as over 200 aircraft strike 500 targets in Iran, and the US attacked over 900 sites in the first twelve hours.
Jewish Settlement Boom & the Rise of Europe
In this conversation, John Billington and Pete Owen discuss the current geopolitical landscape, focusing on the tensions in the Middle East, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the implications of Europe's quest for power. They explore Russia's military strategy, the rise of a potential beast system in Europe, and Israel's political maneuvers regarding Palestinian statehood. The discussion also t
Europe Without America
Recent news reports show that Europe is preparing for greater military independence from the United States, raising the possibility of a significant shift in NATO’s structure. Bible prophecy in Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 17 describes a latter-day European confederacy aligned with a northern power identified with Russia, while Britain and the United States stand apart. These geopolitical devel
It’s the End of the World as We Knew It
Rising global tensions and the expiry of the START treaty have revived Cold-War-level fears of nuclear conflict, reflected in the Doomsday Clock moving closer to “midnight.” Geopolitical rivalry, especially over Greenland, is shifting global power dynamics, weakening alliances like NATO, and eroding the post-WWII “rules-based order.” Biblical prophecy assures us the world w
Is America about to Strike Iran? Israel, Iran and the coming Peace
This week the U.S military build up in the Middle East continued in what President Trump has described as an “armada” heading towards Iran.
The New World Order in Bible Prophecy
Written version coming shortly.
Iran on the Brink of Collapse!
Protests have spread over all of Iran, engulfing 340 places in all 31 provinces according to the UK Telegraph! Protesters are now being murdered by the regime in the hundreds if not thousands. There is danger that the security forces could turn against each other. An analysis by the Telegraph declares, "After 35 years of ruling Iran, Ali Khamenei is running out of options fast.” The protests
The Sea and the Waves Roaring
As we enter 2026 the sea of the nations is roaring and casting up mire and dirt. On Friday night, in an audacious move, America took the dictator of Venezuela prisoner, over the last few days massive protests against the regime have surged up in Iran, Israel recognized the new country of Somaliland, Yemen is becoming unstable and the war continues in Ukraine, with Russia advancing every day.
Events in Israel - An Overview of 2025
An overview of 2025It’s striking to recall that just last year, Joe Biden was still president, Iran had an intact nuclear program, Hamas held nearly 100 hostages, and Israel was actively at war in Gaza, with soldiers dying regularly. Israel’s home front also endured frequent Houthi missile attacks.
The Life Shall Hang in Doubt
The terrorist attack at Australia’s Bondi Beach shocked the world this past week. Jews were gathering to celebrate Hanukkah when gunfire broke out. This event is not isolated but is a result of the call for a Global Intifada, which has been permitted in many Western countries. The Bible is clear that the Jews will return to the land, and many Jews living there are now calling for their dispe
Nick Fuentes, America's Far-right & the Spirit of Amalek
The spirit of Amalek is still alive very much today. The rise of America’s far-right is a testament to this fact. A war of ideas has been raging in the Republican Party - the party of conservatives in America. The traditionally pro-Israel consensus is being challenging by a much more sinister far-right, Orthodox Christian movement that certainly leans into the Amalekite spirit of Antisemitis
The Rise of the Kingdoms of Men and God | Unscripted!
In this Unscripted! conversation, John Billington and Peter Owen discuss current events related to Israel, the Middle East peace process, and the implications of rising anti-Semitism. They reflect on historical lessons from the Holocaust, the prophecies regarding the Jewish return to Israel, and the role of the Bible in shaping current events. The discussion also touches on the Pope’s first
The BBC vs Israel: A Sign of the Times
A storm is brewing in the court of public opinion. As conflicts rage in the Middle East, Western media outlets - once regarded as pillars of neutrality and truth - are being exposed for what they are increasingly becoming: instruments of bias and ideological warfare. This trend is especially clear in coverage concerning the State of Israel.
"I called for a drought upon the land!”
We might imagine that if Iran were to collapse it might be a result of Israel winning the war against them or America bombing their nuclear site, or the international sanctions. However, these are not the greatest problems or threats to Iran and the regime. The greatest threat against Iran today is a lack of water. A severe drought combined with poor mismanagement of the country's water resources,
Fishers and Hunters - the Jews being "pushed" back to the land
Jeremiah lists two phases to the return of the Jews to the land: the phase of fishers (the age of persuasion), and the phase of hunters, where they will be pushed by persecution. In this week’s Bible in the News, we see that the hunter phase is now becoming the reality that Jews of the diaspora are facing in everyday life.
How Will the Culture Wars End?
Here is a video version:I think during COVID it was hard for us to understand the scope of the changes that we are about to see come across our world. Welcome to the Bible in the News this week. This is Tim Billington joining you. We've seen culture wars in society around us and they're only heating up. We're seeing resurgence of religion. Young people are believing in God more than they did befor
A tranquil people living secure.
All the living hostages have now been returned to Israel. Delays over the Hamas terror group's return of deceased hostages, is causing the ceasefire to hang in the balance. Hamas has again shown their true colours with lynchings and torture of their own people within the Gaza strip. Trump has been able to unite a large portion of the oil rich Gulf States to get behind his ceasefire agreement, whic
Ceasefire in Gaza: A Step Toward “Peace in the Land”?
A fragile yet significant ceasefire has taken effect in the Gaza Strip, marking a pivotal development in the long and bitter conflict between Israel and Hamas. The agreement—brokered with the direct involvement of U.S. President Donald Trump—has raised compelling questions among Bible students: Could this be the beginning of a period of peace in the land of Israel, as foretold in
Two Years on from October 7th

Israel, Antisemitism, the Palestinians, & the Bible
A discussion in light of the Bible – Antisemitism and its roots in light of the Bible – The current conflict in Israel and Gaza – The recognition of a Palestinian "state".
All Nations Against Jerusalem
The world turned its back on Israel this past week, forgetting the atrocities of October 7th and decided to reward the terrorists of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority by recognizing a state. The Bible is clear that hatred of Israel would prevail in the end, and this madness would ultimately bring the nations down. In this week’s Bible in the News, we examine statements made by world leader
The Special Relationship Shared Between Tarshish Nations
As we continue to watch the unfolding debate on free speech, following the assignation of Charlie Kirk, this week we turn our attention to the second state visit made by the US President to King Charles the III and the special relationship shared between the US and the UK. But, before we look at this, we will reflect on the purpose of Bible prophecy and why these things interest us.
The Assassination of the Freedom of Speech in an Age of Deception
There were two major events this last week, both related to the Bible, which at first may not seem to be connected. Not only do we find out that they are related, but we also find some important lessons and warnings for us.
The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation
The parallels between Israel’s return to the land the “second time” and the struggles Ezra and Nehemiah experienced in the “first” are amazing. The effort to “rebuild” according to the command of Almighty God cannot be thwarted, and regardless of the world’s campaign against Israel, God will continue to raise up Gentile Cyrus’s who will help Is
Farage, Tommy Robinson and the English Flag Revolution
Things are changing in the UK. In some ways, it feels like we are only one incident away from mass protests in the streets.
Gaza City Under Siege
This week, developments in the Middle East have once again drawn our attention to the prophetic Scriptures. Israel is escalating its military operations in Gaza City, while the region faces worsening famine and starvation.These events reflect the ongoing hostility from the Gaza Strip—the ancient territory of the Philistines—and speak to the latter-day prophecies concerning this region.
Insidious Lies
Here is a video presentation that exposes how media bias has given way to full scale propaganda, and how it fits in with the Bible. There is a lot said about deception in the last days, we touch on a few spots. The Catholic Church is deeply involved, but we focus on the fabrication of lies in Israel and Gaza, and how those lies are amplified by the media.
Israel votes for SOVEREIGNTY in Judea and Samaria!
The war of dreamsEver since May 1948, when David Ben-Gurion read the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel, there has been a war of dreams or a war of ideology taking place among the Jewish people in their land.
The New Middle East: Pax Israelica?
On October 6th, 2023, the eve of the October 7th attacks, Israel faced perhaps its most perilous strategic environment in half a century. Hamas was poised to launch its deadliest assault since the Yom Kippur War of 1973. To the north, Hezbollah boasted 100,000 trained fighters and an estimated arsenal of 120,000 missiles. Iran stood dominant, its nuclear weapons program advancing and its reg

Momentous Events in Israel!
We are witnessing incredible events in relation to Israel and Bible Prophecy. Join John and Pete for an unscripted converstaion as they discuss these developments.
The house of Israel and the house of Judah to be sown with the seed of men
During the past week Israel moved to establish 22 new communities in the area of Judea and Samaria, a move that furthers Israel’s sovereignty over the area. The Bible speaks of sowing Judea and Israel with the seed of men, and this move is further advancement of the angelic hand in bringing about God’s plan.

On the night of the 16th May, Israel launched a new but preplanned operation in Gaza called “Operation Gideon’s chariots”. This new offensive is deploying forces to seize more territory in the Gaza Strip.
Trade Deals of the Merchants of Tarshish
The prophetic scriptures, particularly Ezekiel 38, depict a scenario in the "latter days" where Tarshish and her "young lions" stand in opposition to a northern confederacy invading Israel.Recent geopolitical trade deals involving the United Kingdom (Tarshish) and its former colonies (her young lions) highlight the unfolding of divine purpose in our times.
"We Have A Pope"
As the world held its breath, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church elevated a man to the position of “holy father”, yet the Lord Jesus Christ instructed his followers to “call no man father”. The Catholic Church lives up to the scriptural description of AntiChrist and Man of Sin with this latest conclave. The protestant world has stopped protesting, but the scripture is cle
The Brexit Paradox: Popular Regret, Solid Political Reality
Since Britain joined the Common Market (the predecessor to the European Union), BIble believers have been convinced that Britain could not remain a member of the union by the time of Christ’s presentation to the world. In 1990, a chapter in the book “Guardians of Israel and Arabia” a chapter was titled “Britain’s Exit from Europe is Inevitable!”. The chapter arg
Trump and Iran's Quest for the Bomb!
IntroductionIran and the US have just finished a second round of nuclear talks today (April 19th) in Rome, with a third round planned for next Saturday in Oman. The reason Iran have returned to the table seems to be because of the threat of military action from Israel, sanctioned by the US administration. On Wednesday of this week, Trump was asked about an Israeli plan to strike Iranian nuclear si

Trump Hail's "Liberation Day" while Slapping Tariffs on Nations Worldwide
Since being sworn in for his second term, Donald Trump has been characteristically unpredictable with his trade policy. Tariffs on Canada and Mexico were announced first, then retracted just before coming into force. Rhetoric on tariffs has at times suggested that Trump believed they could completely replace income tax, while at other times he has been less extreme.

Russia will unite with Europe
As Trump’s presidency continues, the gap between the United States and the European Union is growing. A stark example of this was the now-famous chaotic press conference held between Trump and Zelensky a couple of weeks ago. This highlighted the difference in approach between the Trump administration and the nations of the European Union when it comes to Ukraine. Bible prophecy suggests that

The Tale of Two Cities
The opposition of the Vatican to Israel has become more and more vocal and prominent. The reasons are rooted in the threat a revived nation of Israel represents to the Catholic Church, which claims to have replaced the Jews as the People of God.
