Will there ever be peace in the troubled Middle East? The Bible says that there will be no end to the conflict - UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED BY GOD!
Promises made by God to Abraham and to his descendents - the Jews - are the key to understanding the Middle East. The Jews' turbulent history was foretold long ago by Moses and other prophets. In fact, the destiny of Israel and her Arab neighbours is the subject of most Bible prophecy.
The situation we see today is part of what Bible prophets called the "last days." The climax of today's conflicts will be an intervention by God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Only then will there he genuine peace. This momentous event will affect every man, woman and child on the earth!

In this the first of the programmes entitled
“Conflict in the Middle East...
To be Resolved by God” we examine:
- Who the Jews and Arabs are and the source of the conflict between them.
- Remarkable prophecies about the nation of Israel that have been fulfilled in the past and are continuing to be fulfilled in our own time.
- God's ongoing interest in the Middle East and what's in store for the future.
"Then every one that survives of all the nations that have
come against Jerusalem
shall go up year after year to worship
the King, the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 14:16)
The second of the programmes is entitled
“Bible Prophecy is Reliable...
And
affects Your Salvation.”
Many have claimed to foretell the future. Is Bible prophecy any different? Can we really trust it? Bible prophecy, unlike the prophecies of others, is specific, detailed, and consistent. Even when symbolism is used, there are generally clear indications of how to understand the symbols. After all, the purpose of prophecy is to reveal, not to conceal! History has proven Bible prophecy to be completely reliable and the message it conveys directly affects your salvation!
Bible prophecy isn't just gazing into the future; it is directly involved with God's plan of salvation. Centuries of fulfilled prophecy demonstrate that the Bible really is the Word of God. Ongoing fulfilments in our own lifetime show that God is still at work in human affairs.
This program focuses on:
- Four fundamental characteristics of Bible prophecy.
- A comparison of Bible prophecy with the prophecies of Nostradamus and Jean Dixon.
- A prophecy of Daniel that serves as a key to understanding many other Bible prophecies.
- The Bible's proven track record of accuracy in its predictions, and why it is especially important to pay attention to Bible prophecy today.

The third programme is entitled
“The Return of Christ... Soon”
The "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ fills some people with hope, others with dread, and many with confusion. Just what is supposed to happen when Christ returns?
The Old Testament speaks of Messiah coming to rule in righteousness, and to pour out God's judgments on the wicked. The New Testament, in perfect harmony with the Old, teaches that Jesus will literally return to the earth as God's appointed Judge and King. The dead will be raised and the faithful of all ages will be rewarded with everlasting life.
Prophetic signs indicate Christ's return may happen very soon! It's important for us to pay attention to the signs, and to be personally ready.
In this program we see:
- How and where the Bible says Jesus will return.
- What Jesus will do when he comes.
- The signs of Christ's coming that we should look for and how we can recognize them as happening right now.
- Warning against false prophets and motivation to be ready for the true Messiah.
The fourth and final programme is entitled
“The Kingdom of God on Earth...
The
Christian Hope”
Almost everyone has heard the Lord's Prayer, in which Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
But what did he mean
by this?
The Bible says that when Christ returns, he will rule the entire earth as King, from his throne in Jerusalem. This Kingdom of God on earth is the true Christian Hope!
Peace, righteousness, and genuine justice will replace the turmoil, corruption and inequities we experience today. Suffering and death will be abolished forever. Sound too good to be true? Bible prophecy which makes these claims has proven to be accurate over and over again. Jesus believed it, and taught us to pray for it.
Jesus also cautioned us that he will be coming as God's appointed judge, to remove the unfaithful and unholy forever. We determine by our lives now whether we will share in the blessings of the Kingdom, or be destroyed with the unrighteous.
In this program we examine:
- What the Bible says the Kingdom of God will he like.
- How God's promises, His Kingdom and the nation of Israel relate to the true Christian hope.
- God's judgments on those who have rejected Him, and His removal of all wrongdoing from the earth.
