Like a lot of things today Christians appear in short supply; Church turnout at its lowest ebb since attendance records began. Since the 1950s those professing Christianity has dropped by almost half in much of the western world. In Europe at an all time low, albeit 90% of people surveyed in the last five years, claim to have been baptised. Survey results for all mainstream churches show disaffection and a steady fall since the...
More to the point, what’s up with American Evangelism and their skewed opinion on Russia, the East and the Jewish State? Evangelicals have a strange mindset Moscow is the Biblical enemy of Israel and the West, which is of course nonsense. Along with other spurious items their ‘evidence’ is selected Bible verses used to lobby the Administration and with some success when it comes to Israel. Still, where would we be without imaginary foes...
In the Bible we find this word written three different ways: lord (lower case); Lord (capital L) and LORD in upper case. They are in these forms to make a distinction as to meaning and/or intent. For example, lower case lord is often used as an adjective, as in to lord it over someone, in other words to express human power or authority. Lord is descriptive of a person or position; Lord of the...
I once overheard a conversation that went like this…. “The reason we have a trinity is God’s fault..!’ “Why?” someone asked. “Because if He had come himself we wouldn’t be having this debate..!” As you can see it was getting a little tense and arguments about religion will sometimes do that. I imagine it was much the same at Nicaea in 325AD, when many learned men and bishops convened the Council, which...
Moses said: The LORD our God is one LORD. (Deuteronomy 6:4) David said: Salvation belongs unto the LORD. (Psalms 3:8) The LORD said to Isaiah: Is there a God besides me? I know not any. (Isaiah 44:8) The LORD said to Isaiah: I am the LORD and besides me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43:11) Zechariah said: There shall be one LORD and His name One. (Zechariah 14:9) Isaiah...
To say that we have been through a difficult few years is putting it mildly. And if commentators are to be believed, it will become a whole lot worse. The reasons are many and varied. No matter your standpoint it’s pretty clear the world is at a moment of truth. It makes no difference who is responsible or to whom you may wish to apportion blame. But, the fact that people are taking...
. Ancient Israel The first is Ancient Israel, which began in the mid 16th Century BC. The Kingdom was established under Saul in the 11th Century, and they were removed from their homeland by the Assyrians starting in 721BC; it took 19 years to remove them all. All that remained were the few descendants of Judah and Benjamin returned from Babylon (the Jews) who lived with many other cultures in Palestine at the...
While this can be a big subject it can also be quick and easy. So, in the first of the ‘Quick Reads’ we will look at some key Scripture to discover who JESUS is. The first is from the one who announced Him, the Prophet Isaiah. His first obvious citing is in chapter seven when he met with King Ahaz. So, the LORD himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive...

The road to New Jerusalem is a personal spiritual journey. We are helped on our way by the Apostles and Spirit of Prophesy. Through the inspiration of His Holy Spirit, Jesus gave both the Old and New Testament writers a lighted path for us to follow. He has supplied us with the tools necessary, including our faith given by His Grace. Everything we need is in the volume He lovingly prepared for us. It...
The World has changed dramatically in the last few years. Food, fuel and other shortages appear ever closer, as conflicts rage and pandemics threaten. Like Alice down the rabbit hole, we can be excused for wondering what’s going on. The question is where we go from here, and does the Bible have an answer to our present woes in this time of uncertainty. Click to read more….
I often wondered if the early redactors of the Bible were correct in their rendering of Acts 2:36 when referring to Jesus as ‘Lord and Christ.’ My basis for thinking this way is due mainly to Isaiah, but there are many reasons found in the Prophets, Gospels and letters to support the use of the upper case “LORD” when referring to Jesus. So, let’s have a look at some Scripture. Click to read the...

Over the years, various theologies, doctrines and laws have been placed over God’s eternal Word. And many mistaken ideas have hidden the truth of Scripture. So, we should take some time to see where the call from the Prophets and Apostles to repent our sin truly rests. And while we see our sin reflected in the Commandments, there is a greater transgression we need to consider. Read more…
There is a lot of confusion in the Church today about Judah, Jews, Judea, Israel and Zionism. This is down to a number of reasons, including errors in rendering some Hebrew and Greek; misread Scripture; mistaken definitions and more recently, the distortion of this important record through revision. The result has seen a poor understanding of the Apostles and Prophets, with the Bible now altered in many editions. Its effect on how we view...
More than any other phrase in the New Testament, the term ‘Son of God,’ has caused great confusion. It has removed clarity concerning the truth and nature of Jesus Christ, even though we understand its intended purpose that Jesus is of God. That while He was with us in flesh His disposition was not of this earth, for Jesus said; My kingdom is not of this world. (John 18:36) Come read more…
As we apparently move closer to the end of this age, it must be time to prepare for the coming of the LORD. With many saying the day is soon upon us, we should perhaps look to our faith, and as Paul says, examine ourselves as to whether we are actually in the faith: for we are called unto liberty not for worldly experience, but to love and serve one another. Therefore, in order...
The Ten Commandments God handed to Moses and their statues underpin all civilisation. Not because they are a religious law engraved in stone and handed to Israel, but because their morals and truth exist in the hearts of all men. They are the very breath and soul of man. click to read more…
Isaiah declared the Promised Son, the Christ would be called the Everlasting Father… The Apostle John warned the antichrist would deny the Christ is both Father and Son…. If they are correct then the churches are wrong. The Christ: A stone of stumbling to some, the rock of our salvation to others… click to read more…
The Apostle Thomas is often referred to as, “doubting Thomas.” Yet this Apostle gave one of the greatest testimonies in Scripture when he bowed to Jesus and said; “My LORD and my God” click to read more…
Within the LORD’s Prayer dwell simple truths hidden from the view of most. Recited without thought day in and day out by those in the congregations of men… What are these hidden pearls…. click to read more…
Of all the New Testament writers, no one understood the condition of “the man of sin,” and warned of it more, than the Apostle Paul. We all see confusion in the denominational churches, where each is based in a view of Scripture though not necessarily the truth of it. But, this actually comes down to the Word of God and the heart receiving it. Where does this hidden confusion dwell… click to read more…...
The Bible is considered by many; God’s Word given to men. However as the religious congregations destroy the very basis of their faith. And as our communities reject their moral conscience… It is evident more than ever, we need the God’s Word revealed….. click to read more…
Jesus was, and is not a Jew. Why then, do Christian’s and Jews today say he is? Are they confused, or is their something more sinister in their confusion. Lets look into the great lie that is Christian Zionism… click to read more…
The omnipresent God of Israel. From the Spirit of God that moved upon the waters in Genesis, to the Spirit who says “come” in Revelation. Come see the one who promised Abraham. The one Moses wrote off. And the one Peter revealed as; Jesus, both LORD and Christ… click to read more…
Follow Israel from their ancient tribes, their dispersion into Assyria, Babylon and Persia, and their migration through the nations. Assimilated into the nations, their tribes and peoples emerge from the prophecies made over the Israel of God… The Apostle John asked; who are these LORD… click to read more…
Israel’s tribes can be tracked through the nations using a range of historical evidence, language and scriptural signatures. When Ezekiel the prophet looked upon the bones of an Israel fallen, the LORD asked him; Son of Man, can these bones live? Then the LORD spoke to Ezekiel… Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. click to read more…
As Christians, Jews and Muslims wrestle over “old Jerusalem” and the bones of dead men therein. And as blind Christians seek God’s blessings in Zionist Jews, there is something else appearing… A Heavenly Gospel given to the Israel of God that reveals JESUS to an Israel that hear…. God is One LORD…. click to read more…
