About Lance Lambert

Lance Lambert (1931-2015) was one of the most distinguished Bible scholars and speakers in Israel and had an itinerant teaching ministry worldwide.

Born in 1931, Lance grew up in Richmond, Surrey and came to know the Lord at twelve years of age. He later entered the school of African and Oriental studies at London University to prepare for work in China, studying Classical Chinese, Mandarin, Oriental Philosophy and Far Eastern History. However, the Chinese Communist Revolution closed the door to European missionaries and prevented his entry into China.

In the early 1950's Lance served in the Royal Air Force in Egypt and afterward fellowshipped with the Halford House Christian Fellowship in Richmond, England.

Later in life, Lance discovered his Jewish ancestry – his father and many members of his family had died in the Holocaust. This discovery led him to become an Israeli citizen in 1980, and he made his home next to the Old City of Jerusalem.

Lance Lambert's Eschatological Views and Israel

Lance became noted for his eschatological views (beliefs about end times), which place him in the tradition of Watchman Nee and T. Austin-Sparks. From his base in Israel, he produced a widely appreciated quarterly audio recording called the Middle East Update, which gave his unique perspective on current events in the Middle East in the light of God's Word. He wrote numerous books and was presenter of the video production, Jerusalem, the Covenant City.
