Why is Belarus pushing at Poland? Poland occupies an interesting place in the relationship between Germany-EU and the Russians, which may help people understand the role of Russia in the prophecy of the Bible.

There are adds encouraging people be vaccinated, to get back to 'normal' and multiple messages from people I meet is that they now will not die. It made me think of the serpent's message.

The following quotations from Isaiah 44 begin with a description of the extent of Yahweh’s power over man and the earth and the heavens. We are told that he can form “from the womb” men like Cyrus who are prepared to fulfil his purpose on the earth. Cyrus, a Persian, gained an extensive Empire and was a just and benevolent ruler. Yahweh had a purpose with Cyrus. He was to be involved in the restoration of Jews into their own land as the end of their captivity drew near. The qualities of just rulers are described as those that will “frustrate the tokens of the liars, and make diviners mad”. We may not be given the means by which Cyrus achieved a peaceful empire but we do know that he was a benevolent and just ruler.

The French seem to have been stunned by the US and UK suddenly aligning with Australia and excluding France (and the EU) in the matter of Nuclear Submarines. To the student of Bible prophecy this was more of an 'ah ha' moment than a shock.

There is an interesting short prophecy related to the Amorites, who are frequently mentioned in conjunction with the other heathen nations that troubled the nation of Israel throughout their history.

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

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

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?

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 )
