More About Firstlight...
Firstlight Broadcasting Network was launched in New Zealand on the 17th September 2012 at 6pm. The Firstlight channel broadcasts nationally 24/7 via the Freeview|HD (UHF terrestrial) network on Channel 26, via Freeview Satellite (also on Channel 26) and on SKY (Channel 206). The official launch onto the satellite platform took place on Saturday 17th September 2016 at 6pm; at this same time Firstlight celebrated its fourth anniversary of bringing God's loving last day messages to the people of New Zealand. Now Firstlight has been on air for over twelve years!Firstlight is run by a team of dedicated volunteers whose mission is to proclaim God's love throughout New Zealand. Firstlight aims to broadcast the best selection of ground-breaking Christian programmes sourced from 3ABN, Amazing Facts, It Is Written and other international and local New Zealand sources as they become available.
While our programmes are based on Christian principles, we believe the programme topics will be of great interest to the general public and not just limited to a Christian audience.
Please continue to help us with your prayers and with your financial support. We cannot keep your favourite Firstlight channel up on air without YOUR ongoing support!
Check out this week's Programme Schedule to see what is showing and what is coming up on Firstlight.

What's Up Prof?# 220 - Abomination of Desolation
In Episode 220 Walter Veith & Martin Smith discuss the Biblical principle of Desolate. Whenever it is mentioned throughout the Bible, it’s a dire warning for God’s people. From Israel’s house that was left desolate to the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy place, God’s people are warned to separate from that that makes desolate. But what exactly is it that makes desolate, and what can we do to make sure that we do not get destroyed with it?
Repeated on Monday 28 April at 4:30am, Wednesday 30 April at 11:45am and Friday 2 May at 12:00am.
