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.
We show a Christian film/documentary or an important interview on Saturday evenings at 7:30pm. This is usually repeated at 12 noon on the Wednesday following.

What's Up Prof? #218 - Trump's Golden Age
In Episode 218 Walter Veith and Martin Smith discuss the rise of Babylon; the image of the beast becoming prominent. The wave of executive orders that Donald Trump signed gives a clear message of what to expect from his presidency. Riddled with prophetic language, Trump's administration is planning a new Golden card, a golden dome to protect America and he says this is the dawn of the Golden age of America that will be the most dominant civilisation ever. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Jonathan Roumie of the Chosen, gives interesting insights into the Babylonian spiritualism used in the series, and they also talk about Ash Wednesday and Lent, both of which are also made prominent by the Trump administration. It is clear which religious system is being propagated here, and also that the distance between separation of church and state is something of the past.
Repeated on Monday 31 March at 4:30am, Wednesday 2 April at 12:00pm and Friday 4 April at 12:00am.
