News And Views Podcast

Hosted by News And Views

A council of elders interprets current global events and political news through the lens of biblical end-times prophecy.

The brief

This is a roundtable discussion where four co-hosts, who identify as elders, take turns delivering sermon-like analyses of news and prophecy. They interpret current events—like the decline of the US dollar, geopolitical conflicts, and the rise of AI—as signs of the imminent fulfillment of biblical end-times prophecies, particularly the fall of "Babylon." The show's purpose is to warn and guide their audience, whom they call "Mishpacha" (family), to prepare for a coming societal collapse and the establishment of a new kingdom.

Unlike typical news commentary, this show interprets every event through a specific prophetic framework, viewing modern geopolitics as a direct continuation of biblical narratives like the struggle between Jacob and Esau. The collective format, with four elders rotating long, exegetical monologues, also stands out from typical co-hosted conversations.

What you'll be asked on this show

How News And Views interviews

This is a non-interview, roundtable discussion show. A lead host introduces a topic, often a biblical passage, and then each of the four elders takes a lengthy turn to expound on it, connecting scripture to current events. The tone is pastoral and urgent, with frequent use of Hebrew terms like "Shalom" and "Mishpacha," and exclamations of "Hallelujah."
