Europe, Islam and the bid for World Domination, No Less

9th Dec 2009, hej.

Even before the Swiss vote to ban minarets, there was a half formed picture in my mind, which the news story fitted.

Jerusalem, history and settlement opposition

26th Nov 2009, hej.

Iran, Persian cat or Bear?

In the wilds of the nations, it may be a matter of life and death to know what type of animal a nation is, and the habits of that animal. ... More

The Berlin wall fell in 1989

9th Nov 2009, hej.

There are moments which we experience which become stamped on our minds. The pictures of people on the Berlin Wall pecking away bits of concrete is one of mine.

Who made religion a numbers game?.

4th Nov 2009, hej.

Obama's goal, the UN: the final word on Israel

26th Sep 2009, hej.

When President Obama made his inaugural speech to the United Nations on September 23 to map the direction he felt the world should take, he made the issue of Israel a key part of his 4 'pillars'. His aim is a divided Israel. But the final word on this issue is already written. Obama should know about this. He made his oath as President with his hand on that final word given on Israel. ...

Psalm 39: The Strength of Weakness

15th Sep 2009, hej.

Yom Kippur is the time of the year set aside by Yahweh for the confession of sins. At this time we can think of the king who during his reign made some grave mistakes. As a result he experiences suffering. This king is David. All these experiences meant that, in addition to being a talented musician, he became a compassionate king who could weep for his people and who could write songs for those who suffered. ... More

Lion & the False Prophet

28th Aug 2009, hej.

How do we know a lying Prophet? Will we be able to make an excuse before Jesus at the Judgement by claiming we were deceived? Are we not asked to recognise false prophets? In any case we have been given an exemplar judgement of the God of Israel regarding our responsibility to recognise a false prophet, in the history of the man of God, the false prophet and the lion. The incident is recorded in 1 Kings 13. ... More
