P.S. August 16, 2024: We’ve noticed the formatting has changed on our podcast posts, forcing the Spotify embeds to take up way more vertical space than they need. We are compensating by embedding them differently starting today, but for older posts, if there is a bunch of space under a Spotify embed, just keep scrolling! We’ll address the others when we can.

As Israel attacks Iran and the news analysts go into overdrive, the Bible provides key principles that give insight about the current moment and what is prophesied to lie ahead. Don’t cram today’s news into the Bible—instead, let the Bible reveal the meaning behind today’s news. Join us on the podcast as we talk about today’s attack by Israel on Iran’s leadership and nuclear capacities.
In this week’s podcast, we refer to three articles and our previous podcast on watching world affairs with your biblical brain engaged. Here are links:
Finally, it’s almost a crime that we didn’t think to mention Mr. Richard Ames’ classic work on understanding that part of the world in light of Scripture: The Middle East in Prophecy. Click to read it or order a copy for yourself.

God’s word encourages us to watch world events, yet it’s easy to do so in an unhealthy way or in a way that fails to make the prophetic connections. Today, we talk about how to keep your head on straight and think biblically while keeping an eye on world affairs.
We also mention Mr. Richard Ames’ booklet, Understanding Biblical Prophecy, and our Whiteboard video on the Mark of the Beast. Here, above the embeds, are links to both:

As helpful as digital Bibles can be, there are real blessings and benefits to spending time with physical, tangible, good ol’ paper Bibles. Here’s why you should put down the Bible app, close the laptop, and “go analog” more often with your Bible reading and study.
P.S. We also discuss my terrible editing of the previous podcast (Sorry about that!), and we refer to a Living Church News article in this episode that explains why we primarily use the New King James Versionas our default translation in the Living Church of God. Here is a link to that article: “Why the New King James Version?”
