As the world braces for the American Election, Bible students can rest assured that the will of the Father will prevail. It is not always what we want but what is needed to bring about His will. We know the eventual outcome of world affairs, but how this end is achieved by the angels, we cannot know. We watch enthusiastically with the Bible in hand, without intervention by vote or voice.

The recently published Asserson Report, has brought to light significant concerns regarding the BBC's coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Authored by Trevor Asserson, a prominent British-Israeli lawyer with a history of challenging media bias, this report meticulously analysed the BBC’s reporting across its English and Arabic platforms between October 7, 2023, and February 7, 2024. The report used both human analysis and AI to scrutinise nearly nine million words of coverage, highlighting over 1,500 breaches of the BBC's own editorial guidelines.

Israel has been under fire from Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen and Iran – and yet God continues to deliver them from their enemies. The nations of the world have united at the United Nations to condemn Israel, and this is a political manifestation of the perpetual hatred or enmity spoken of in Genesis 3:15. As the world becomes increasingly hostile, Israel becomes increasingly successful. This is God’s doing and marvellous in his eyes, hailing the way for God's coming kingdom.

The elimination of Hassan Nasrallah could lead into the peace and safety found in Ezekiel 38

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.

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:
