This is not her first rodeo; in fact, it will be her last. "I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast," wrote John. But, as a bronco rider might testify, the one in the saddle is not necessarily the one in control. And so it will turn out for Babylon. Today we'll hear the conclusion of the message, The Two Beasts, then I'll have a special word about the ministry. But we start with Jim's visit to the Vatican.

It's time for Mayoral minutes, where we speak with a local mayor about the challenges they're facing, how they're working to solve them and what makes their community special. Today we're heading to the New Plymouth in the Taranaki region from where Mayor Max Brough joins Jesse.

There are no "accidents of history!" As we bounce between Revelation and the book of Daniel today, it will become very clear that John's Apocalypse is not as weird as it seems; God has been consistent over thousands of years with His message of how history will unfold. And His track record is 100%. After we hear the first half of this message called, The Two Beasts, I'll have an announcement about the future of the program, so stick around.

There will be a second Holocaust. Even with all the antisemitism that's bubbling up these days, the depth of the Antichrist's hatred toward the Jews is shocking. His betrayal and murderous rage are documented in Revelation - but we'll begin in Daniel 9, today. Stay tuned for an announcement about Right Start, after we hear from Jim.

Fresh off the back of the World Surf League Championship Tour stop in Raglan this month, the surfing community's focus turns to New Plymouth where the Egmont Honey Pro is bringing top-level longboarding to Taranaki. It's a surfing style often associated with older athletes, but this weekend's world tour qualifying event features dozens of teenagers. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin went to Fitzroy Beach to catch the vibe.

Both Christ and Antichrist fulfill prophecy! Through Daniel, God had marked out one specific day when we could expect Messiah's official entrance, and we'll see today that Jesus fulfilled that prophecy. As we continue our Revelation study, we'll discover that the Antichrist will check off his scriptural qualifications, too. And afterward I'll have a special note about the ministry.

What happens when "the accuser of our brethren" runs out of accusations? We learn some surprising things about our ancient enemy, Satan, in Revelation 12. Like: He still has access to Heaven now, if he will lose a war and be "thrown down" from there in the future. And the timing is very interesting!

Opposition to a proposal for a Liquified Natural Gas import facility at Port Taranaki has been aired at a public meeting in New Plymouth. The government said it will shore up electricity supply during dry years, but opponents believe LNG locks New Zealand into a fossiled-fuelled future and is dangerous. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin was the meeting and filed this report.

"He's got the whole world in his hands." Maybe we should stop singing that! John wrote, "We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one." This will be most evident in the world described in Revelation 12. When the Deceiver is thrown down to Earth, the world will suffer.

The people with the "COEXIST" bumper stickers have it almost right! It's that "T," that cross on the end, that's the problem. Once those troublemaking Christians are gone, there will be peace.

A group of New Plymouth homeowners fear plans to build a 15-metre-high telecommunications tower in a suburban street will shave thousands off property values. Mobile tower infrastructure company Connexia has applied for consents to put up the tower on the road reserve in the suburb of Spotswood to increase capacity for its client Spark. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has more.

The Temple will be a place where the true God is worshiped... until a false god struts in. Today we'll look at the "Abomination of Desolation." Daniel prophesied it, Jesus warned of it. It's the desecration of the most holy place by a most unholy person. But that place does not exist, today!

If Jesus' sacrifice made the Old Covenant offerings obsolete, why build another Jewish Temple? As we see in Revelation, chapter 11, not only will the Temple be rebuilt in Jerusalem, but it will serve an important purpose - the normal purpose of a temple: Worship.

Sola Rosa's Andrew Spraggon talks to Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason about his latest record, In The Mids, and imminent album tour. It kicks off in Auckland on Friday May 22 at Double Whammy, before travelling to Hawkes Bay, Nelson, Christchurch, New Plymouth and Wellington.

Electrifying the transport system will require strong bi-partisan action. The Drive Electric State of the Nation report has found globally, one in four new vehicle purchases are electric – up from one in five in 2024. Chair Kirsten Corson says strides are being made in public transport, with New Plymouth's bus fleet being 100% electric, and Auckland Transport having more than 300 electric buses. She told Mike Hosking it's not an environmental decision anymore – it's an economic one. In the past three years they've seen the percentage of new vehicle sales that are electric increasing in countries like Ethiopia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Turkey, Corson says, as from an economic perspective, they no longer want to import fossil fuels.

Time out! The Apostle John sometimes pauses the timeline of the book of Revelation to bring us some essential background information. We'll consider a couple of those "interludes," or "parentheses" today; we'll find them in chapters 7 and 11. The title of the sermon is: The 144,000 and the Two Witnesses.

Crime does not pay. When you're tempted to think that sinners are the ones who have this game figured out - they're living the high life, while the righteous are being driven underground - take a look at Revelation, chapter 16. There we see the judgments of God falling relentlessly. It will seem like Hell on Earth at the climax of the Great Tribulation. Please stick around for the end of the broadcast: We have a special announcement about the future of Right Start.

Often described as the green jewel in New Plymouth's crown, Pukekura Park is celebrating its 150th anniversary this month. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin reports.

"Let God arise!" the people of Israel used to sing. "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee before Him," is the rest of the verse from Psalm 68. Well, today we'll look at the joyful moment when the Almighty answers that prayer. We'll move quickly through the middle chapters of Revelation, but we'll start with chapter 9, verse 18.

Killer angels. There was an award-winning book about the Civil War called The Killer Angels. But the bloody battle of Gettysburg is nothing compared to the one that will commence at the river Euphrates: Four angels, 200-million cavalry, resulting in the slaughter of a third of the world's population. And in the 9th chapter of Revelation we'll also find more proof of why all this is necessary. But first a short recap from Jim, to remind us where we've been.

An urban renewal project in New Plymouth's CBD is revealing traces of the city's past - piece by piece. The derelict Metro Plaza is being demolished to allow a stretch of the Huatoki Stream - which has been hidden from view for about a century - to be uncovered. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin was on site.

There will be no atheists in the Tribulation! The Apostle John reveals that, while the wrath of God is pouring down upon the Earth, humans will worship demons - not that the demons appreciate it. Yesterday we talked about the Fifth Trumpet, and the Abyss being opened. The demons like locusts, that sting like scorpions, are about to teach humanity a painful lesson: Our times are in God's hands. Here's Jim with the finale of his message, The Seven Trumpets.

Te Atiawa has opened a high-end townhouse development on an inner-city site in New Plymouth where colonial troops once assembled for inspection. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin reports.

When you hear these trumpets, it's too late! We get the sense, reading Revelation, that God isn't commanding new judgments to fall on the Earth; we don't hear Him pronouncing them. Instead, the punishment for man's rebellion has been "stored up," and is now being released, in stages. And with each new blast of a Trumpet it becomes clearer that there is no stopping, or even pausing, this wrath. Here's Jim in Revelation 8 with more of his message, The Seven Trumpets.

These trumpets are not for celebration! The Christians who first read John's Revelation had heard trumpets in various roles, like announcing a festival, warning of danger, proclaiming Roman dominance. The seven trumpets we'll read about today are ominous, official, and final. The Earth is about to change owners. And the wicked of the Earth are about to face the music.

Guest Speakers: Brendon Deere, Tim Costley MP, SQN LDR Craig Clark, FLT LT Stu Glendinning, Roger Dalziell, and SQN LDR Michael Williams Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎28th of February 2026 Released: 9th of May 2026 Duration: 3 hours 14 minutes 55 seconds In this bumper-sized 350th episode in the Wings Over New Zealand Show podcast series, we hear the various presentations given at the Biggin Hill Hangar WONZ Forum Meet at RNZAF Base Ohakea. We were very fortunate to be hosted by Brendon Deere, who is a great supporter of Wings Over New Zealand. In order we hear from: Tim Costley MP – Tim is a former RNZAF pilot, and he talks about his experiences in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, particularly flying the Bell Iroquois but also in other types. He served operationally on several occasions. And he talks a little about his current position as a Member of Parliament for Otaki in the National-led coalition government. Tim Costley (Dave Homewood photo) Squadron Leader Craig Clark – Craig is the Officer Commanding No. 42 Squadron RNZAF, based at Ohakea, which operates Beechcraft King Air 350s in two roles, two C-12K examples as transports which can carry up to nine passengers , known as Slicks, and two MC-12K used for Air Warfare training and sensor suite training. In this fascinating talk Craig explains how the squadron has been evolving with its previous role of multi-engine training having been phased out, and interestingly the MC-12Ks are being used for actual front line operational missions more and more now, at home and overseas in the Pacific. He also talks about the future of the squadron, and his personal hopes that it will soon be expanded and larger aircraft platforms will be brought into the squadron’s capabilities. Above: SQN LDR Craig Clark (Dave Homewood photo)Below: Various photos of the MC-12K King Airs, including the Fiji deployment. (All NZDF) No.42 SQN’s new Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft takes it’s first flight at RNZAF Base Ohakea, 14/05/18. Flight Lieutenant Stu Glendinning – Stu is a pilot and a QFI on No. 5 Squadron RNZAF, also based at Ohakea, flying the new Boeing P-8 Poseidon. He talks about his RNZAF career, including flying training with the RAAF on NZAI CT/4B Airtrainers and Pilatus PC9s, in a rare case where RNZAF pilots joined an RAAF aircrew course. He talks about his progression to No. 42 Squadron and then No. 5 Squadron, and flying the Lockheed P-3K2 Orions. He then transitioned onto the new Boeing P-8A Poseidon fleet and he shares insights into this amazing aircraft. He also tells the very emotive story of his experience as the Search and Rescue Captain on a P-8A when he was scrambled following the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui.

Brendon Deere – Our host for the event at the Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre, Brendon spoke about his Biggin Hill Trust collection of warbirds that are based at Ohakea. They include his Supermarine Spitfire IX PV270, North American P-51D Mustang NZ2423, Grumman TBM Avenger “Plonky”, and North American Harvard IIa NZ1037. Brendon Deere Roger Dalziel and Mike Williams – In a very rare opportunity, the audience were able to hear from two Grumman Avenger pilots, Roger Dalziell who flew the Avengers in the RNZAF from Ohakea in the early 1950s; and Squadron Leader Mike Williams who is a current instructor pilot based at Ohakea, and is the current pilot of Plonky, the Biggin Hill Avenger, with the Air Force Heritage Flight. He explains the work of the Heritage Flight, which Mike himself was behind the creation of. Roger is the last known pilot who flew original RNZAF Avengers still living today. Mike had just arrived back at Ohakea following flying a display at New Plymouth in the Avenger, and the two pilots compared notes on flying Avengers 75 years ago and now.

Would you rather experience the wrath of the Lamb, or the wrath of the "Anti-Lamb?" If you belong to Christ you won't be here for either the divine judgments of Revelation 6, or the genocidal rage of the Antichrist. We believe you'll be watching these events from Heaven, as John did. But those who are "left behind" will have to choose whom to fear. Here's Jim to finish his message, The Seven Seals.

The Bible is the most important book on Earth, but there is another book not on the Earth. John witnessed a scene of high drama in Heaven. He saw a scroll. And this scroll must be opened for the sake of God's plan, and justice, and the future of humanity. But no created being could open it. All of us were unworthy. Here's Jim in Revelation 5.

There's more than one "decision for Christ!" Believers know well that we made a choice - maybe a long time ago - that affected our eternity. That was our decision to turn around and follow Jesus.

Forgiveness... and consequences! Yesterday we began to look at the paradox of God's free gift of salvation, and rewards for "good conduct." Rewards or losses, I should say. Today we'll take a look at what's at stake at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Our sins are forgiven, truly - with no asterisk. But that doesn't mean that overcomers and the overcome will get the same rewards.

What we do today, matters. If we know for sure that we are saved by grace through faith apart from our works, then we own a priceless truth. But the devil can still use that truth against us! He tries to persuade Christians that because their conduct can't save them, therefore God doesn't care what they do. It sounds silly when you say it out loud, but many believers have been snared in that half-baked theology. So today Jim will take us to the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Will you come before the King empty-handed? We've heard Christians say, "I don't want any rewards. Being with Jesus will be enough for me!" But will they still feel that way when others are bringing gifts to the Savior, and they have nothing? That's a question to get us started thinking about the "crowns" in Revelation, chapter 4. We'll also talk about clothes - the Bride will wear white - and what happens after the Wedding Feast. Here's Pastor Jim to conclude his sermon, A Message for the Church.

John's task is to describe the indescribable God! "No one has seen God at any time," John wrote. But... John saw something, just as Ezekiel had seen a Being on the throne. Both compared the emanations that struck their eyes to the look of brilliant gemstones. We said yesterday that Heaven is not a metaphor. Now, as we read further in Revelation 4, we're reduced to analogies in order to communicate anything about the Lord of Heaven.

Do you believe in Heaven? I mean, really? We've been lulled to sleep about the realities of Heaven and Hell. Today these doctrines are dismissed as relics of an unenlightened age. Who today could possibly believe in a "literal" Heaven, and a "literal" Hell? Well, the Apostle John believed. He was transported, somehow, to Heaven. And he didn't see fluffy clouds, and people strumming harps. He didn't see a metaphor. What did he see? Let's find out today, with Jim.

Sometimes you have to show your ID... to yourself. "Remember who you are," the Apostle John seems to be saying to us as he begins his final message - the closing book of the Bible. "Think about what Jesus paid for you, and about your true position in Him, because some tough love is coming." Some of the churches were going off track already, even before the last Apostle had died.

"To Him who loves us, and..." "Jesus loves you" has become a trite phrase, partly because it's simple enough to be twisted by those who do not love you. "To Him who loves us, and has freed us from our sins by his blood," at least gets us started toward understanding divine love. That blood is the most precious element in the universe; it's the only thing that could "free us from our sins."

Several mayors are demanding a meeting with NZTA saying they are dealing with unacceptable disruptions on State Highway 3, from New Plymouth to Te Kuiti. NZTA Regional Relationships Director Linda Stewart spoke to John Campbell.

When God puts His cards on the table. If I were to say, "Turn in your Bible to the book of Apokalypsis," you might become concerned about my mental health. But that was John's title, in Greek, of the book we call, Revelation. The meaning is preserved in our translation; it's a word that refers to "disclosure" or "unveiling." Well, the unveiling of what? Of future events, certainly. But more importantly, of truths about the person of Jesus Christ Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Jesus is the king of time, and the king of eternity! Jim has been showing us some "snapshots" of our Lord in the Revelation to John. He is the Son of Man, the Lion, the Lamb, and the Bridegroom, as we've discovered. Today we'll look at the last four of these word-pictures. And these may be the most impressive of all. We'll see Jesus as Warrior, Judge, King, and...King. Here's the conclusion of Jim's sermon called, Revelation: The Theme is Christ.

What am I looking at, here? Sometimes we have to say to our kids, "That's a lovely picture - what is it?" We were guessing school bus, but the artist informs us it is a giraffe. Skilled painters can give us artworks that are intentionally ambiguous. But John saw a picture that portrayed two realities at once: Victim, and conqueror - lamb, and lion.

Snapshots... of Jesus. Would you like to see some family photos of the Lord? Photography is 200 years old this year, not 2,000, and early Christians refused to paint or make an image of Jesus - for good reason. But we do have some word-pictures of the Savior in the book of Revelation. Jim will show us 7 of those, as we open a new series. And he'll start with a story.

Was Stephen guilty as charged? If "even a broken clock is right twice a day," and "the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose," then lying witnesses can sometimes tell the truth! But if they were right about what Stephen said, was he wrong for saying it? Isn't Stephen really on trial for his life, for preaching things the crowd didn't want to hear?

The Acts of the Waiters? If you were with us yesterday you heard how the young church got through a tricky situation that could have split believers along ethnic lines. And the solution didn't come down as an edict from one man, or even as an opinion from the Apostles. The congregation selected, and the Apostles consecrated 7 men. If you want to know how important their ministry was, just look at what these "table-waiters" did. Here's Jim with the middle section of his message, The Growing Church.

The infant church had problems! This group was led by the very men who had walked and talked with Jesus. The Holy Spirit had come to unify and empower believers. We might expect that such a church would be a slice of heaven on earth. And in fact there was sweet fellowship, and a sense of purpose there. But there were humans, with their human needs and human blind-spots. Here's Pastor Jim to open a sermon called, The Growing Church.

A new lead singer steps up to the mic. The act known as "Barnabas and Saul" was about to become "Paul and Companions." That normally would be the end of the band. Lawyers would be retained, solo careers launched, bitterness nursed into old age. But that was not how the Son of Encouragement rolled, as we've seen. He must have had a very small ego, or was looking at the very big picture. Pastor Jim is in the book of Acts to conclude his message entitled, Barnabas.

A Spirit-filled life isn't necessarily flashy. We've said that Barnabas is a wonderful example of a spiritual man. But if you want to read about him in the book of Acts you'll have to hunt for him! Search for an "and" beside his name, because Barnabas is a team player. Today we'll look at several characteristics of this godly man, who may have had a "Type B" personality.

The Diaspora - the Christian one. In hindsight, maybe it wasn't the most brilliant strategy to persecute and scatter the young church. Because wherever those believers went, they talked about Jesus. And it was bad enough, from the devil's point of view, that they spread the gospel to Jews - if they kept talking, eventually Gentiles would get the message. Our friend Barnabas was right in the middle of all that. In fact, he seems to be purpose-built for the assignment.

Antioch was a model church because of its model minister, Barnabas. Yesterday we started to investigate this "son of encouragement" who was such a blessing everywhere he went. When he went to Antioch, that church eventually became not just a model church, but a missionary church and a merciful church. Not to take anything away from Paul or other leaders, but as we read "Acts" we start to see Barnabas as the glue holding everything together.
