Whose New World Order?

12th Sep 2021, hej.

Recently Australia heard from NSW officials, not once but 2 times the phrase “New World Order,” with a third ear-witnessed by politicians in a parliamentary meeting. It trended as the world began to remember 9/11 2001. But the phrase was more famously re-introduced to politics – September 11 – 1990! ... More

20 years after World Trade Centre hit World Trade suffers

10th Sep 2021, hej.

In the whole course of nations and empires histories the things that matter are shown to be controlled by the Creator. Is it then mere chance that just as they are close to completing the replacement works of the World Trade Centre site, having called it 'freedom tower' and 'liberty plaza', that world trade is given a second more serious blow? Covid-19? ... More

How do the trees know?

9th Sep 2021, hej.

Most of the trees I know are evergreen. But in the landscape are some imports that mark the seasons by dropping their leaves every year. Every year the dead trees as spring begins, suddenly, begin a resurrection. How do those trees know?

Those in the Isles shall Worship Him

6th Sep 2021, mgh.

It is interesting to note how many times we see reference to the “nations” in general terms in the Bible. It is from the sea and the isles of the sea that they shall sing of the majesty of Yahweh

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of Yahweh they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye Yahweh in the fires, even the name of Yahweh God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. (Isaiah 24:14-16 )

Change: Why there is no Normal Condition

21st Aug 2021, hej.

I hear often 'the new normal', but on consideration based on the Bible I suspect it is foolish. Nothing but God remains the same! Nothing. Who thought things could stay normal and stable, and on what basis?

Mosque, Temple & Ancient Deed of Sale

15th Aug 2021, hej.

In India there is a dispute regarding a Mosque built in the site of an earlier Hindu temple. It was the habit of the incoming Islamic conquest to take the holy places of others and make it their holy place. Unfortunately for the role of Islam, in many places they did not destroy the previous religion- but the most controversial takeover is that of the Jewish Temple. ... More

Oppression of Care: Covid, Authority & Freedom

28th Jul 2021, hej.

In the current events and with a wealth of experience of Authority, I have found Christ's pithy analysis true: Those in authority call themselves benefactors, while exercising and imposing their will in iron rule. Christ also pointed out what was wrong with this – and told his followers to never do this!

Harris 'Act of Getting Vaccinated, love thy neighbour?'

21st Jul 2021, hej.

Everything under the sun is complex, so complex as to defy simplification, and the Bible is not an exception - it is likely that Kamala Harris by simplification has failed to understand the Bible.

Impossible Repentance: Church of England 800 years later

15th Jul 2021, hej.

After 800 years the Church of England wishes to repent and apologise for the anti-Jewish outcome of a Catholic Synod in Oxford in 1222. The concept of repentance and apology is to turn around, but in the Bible it is only of use if it results in a new path that leads to salvation. We cannot repent for others, our ancestry or our history. And in any case what is done is done, and it cannot be undone.
