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.

WUP#211 - The Shaking of America
.jpg)
In Episode 211 Walter Veith & Martin Smith discuss the "Shaking of America" and explore the prophetic dynamics shaping the United States' role in end-time events, focusing on the formation of the image of the beast and the healing of its wound as foretold in Revelation. We highlight the influence of institutions like the Heritage Foundation, the resurgence of religious legislation, and the push for a synchronised rest day. We connect current political and ideological shifts to biblical prophecy, emphasising how these developments align with the agenda to restore papal authority globally and highlight that the culmination of these events will be the enforcement of laws restricting religious freedom, leading to a final confrontation between divine truth and human authority.
Repeated on Monday 9 December at 4:30am, Wednesday 11 December at 12:00pm and Friday 13 December at 12:00am.
