Since the October 7th attack on Israel, there has been a low-level war of attrition between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group. This has forced 60,000 Israelis to be evacuated from the bordering towns and villages, living in bed and breakfasts and hotels with their lives on hold for nearly a year. Over the last week the conflict in Israel’s north has escalated. On September 17th at 3:30pm pagers, used by the terror group, simultaneously exploded throughout the country. It is believed as many as 5,000 devices may have been involved with the initial attack.
At the end of this last week, Catholic pope Francis was returning from a visit to Asia aboard the Papal plane, accompanying him was a group of journalists. The journalists asked him predominantly about political matters, there were questions regarding the places he had visited; Singapore, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia; and also questions about China, the upcoming American election and the war in Israel. Notably the questions about the places just visited were not highlighted in the official Vatican article, nor hardly taken notice of by the large news networks. The number one issue highlighted was the war in Israel and second to this was the upcoming election in the United States.
The media hype around Ukraine's Kursk offensive is overshadowed by Angelic forces at play. No matter what the media might report, God has a plan for Russia, which will result in its eventual success in taking not only Ukraine but much of Europe. Ukraine is fast bleeding out its resources, and the Russian bear is ready to move in and fulfil its biblical destiny.
This weekend brings further tragedy and mourning in Israel as the bodies of 6 hostages have been recovered from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. The bodies were discovered in a tunnel by the IDF on Sunday morning.
This week we review the news that the Pope is to visit to Belgium - we examine the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2 in the light of this news.
This week Kamala Harris picked her Vice Presidential nominee ahead of the US elections in November. With the polls looking neck and neck, the VP pick is an important moment for her election campaign.
On Wednesday Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh was killed in his hotel apartment in Tehran. This week we will examine who Isamil Haniyeh was, and how the overall conflict between Israel and Iran and her proxies fits into Bible prophecy.
Examining Media Bias Against Israel
The coming US election looks likely to reintroduce Trump to the world stage with far reaching effects which could impact Europe and the position of Russia. This week we examine all of this from the perspective of the Biblical prophecy of Ezekiel 38.
It’s been a very dramatic week in this turbulent world, the continuing war in Israel, Russia gaining ground in Ukraine and culminating with an attempted assassination on former President of the United States, Donald Trump. A number of shots were fired at Trump, one of which actually hit his ear, literally a quarter inch away from killing him. The already iconic pictures of Trump raising his fist in the air after the assassination attempt, will go down in history.
Yesterday was general election day in the UK after Rishi Sunak, the Prime minister as was, called an election six weeks ago.
As we write this weeks edition, results are coming in from the French election. Provisional results are showing a dramatic shift to the right with Marine Le Pen currently projected to have won around a third of the vote. This is up dramatically from the 17.3% her party won just two years ago.
I was surprised when our family took a recent trip to the Holocaust memorial in Montreal to learn how much antisemitism there was in Canada during the Second World War. Maybe I shouldn’t have been because I knew that Canada had very restrictive policies about Jewish emigration at that time, as did most of the world, but when I saw this sign, I found it a little shocking:
In this weeks Bible in the News we examine the connection with Russia’s involvement in Africa and Bible Prophecy
This week has been a busy one for the haters of the Jewish people. The International criminal court has filed an application for the arrest warrant of Israeli PM Netanyahu and the defence minister Yoav Gallant. On the same day, the ICC also issued a request for the warrant of Yahya Sinwar the commander of Hamas in Gaza - this carefully choreographed moment ensured that the world could see the moral equivalence that the ICC is placing between a genocidal terrorist group and the state of Israel.
Throughout history God’s people of Israel have been hated by the nations around it. From the time Israel was in Egypt, Pharaoh attempted to destroy the nation by killing all the male children in the Nile of Egypt. The Edomites were condemned by Obediah: “For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.”, the hatred of the Philistines for Israelites was called “the old hatred” by Ezekiel. When Israel was scattered from their land in AD135 they were persecuted wherever they went, and were never allowed to settle or mingle with the local populus. They were blamed for the Black Death and used as scapegoats. They were constantly in fear of pogroms and expulsion, with 100,000 killed in 1100 different pogroms in just the first few years after the First World War.
The sea and waves are roaring on the America political scene, as six months of political wrangling precede the presidential election. America is festering with an open-sore of Jew-hatred – visibly seen on its campuses. Israel is left to stand alone, about to move into Rafah to put an end to Hamas . Meanwhile, Putin has ascended the throne of Russia once again with an iron grip.
This last Thursday, during the passover holiday, tens of thousands of Jews attended the traditional priestly blessing ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Israel National News reported that, "During the ceremony, prayers were offered for the swift return of the hostages, for the healing of the wounded, and for the well-being of the State of Israel, the IDF soldiers, and the security forces.”
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.
