He came to die on the Cross and to reveal the Father~heart of God so that all who believe on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life. His whole earthly life was set as a flint in this direction and from the foundation of the world God purposed that His death would mean life to the children of men.
And when He completed all things He shouted in triumphant victory, "It is Finished!"
Thank you Jesus!

The audio version of The Rogue (the first volume of my prophecy fiction series Planets Shaken) is now available.
This book weaves an exciting story around a core of useful information on ancient astronomy, ancient catastrophism, electric universe cosmology, and Bible prophecy. The essence of the story is a massive comet (the core of the planet that used to orbit between Mars and Jupiter) that is headed for a collision course with Mars, potentially bringing forth the fulfillment of "the planets of the heavens shall be shaken."

GEO-POLITICAL THOUGHTS
ONE. Turkey's entrance into Syria poses a tremendous threat to the Kurds and Israel. This is a potentially explosive matter. My suspicion is that the Syrian army will bring devastation to the Alawaites, while the Turkish army in conjunction with associated militias will rain destruction on the Kurds. Then both will head south towards the buffer Zone held by Israel and the Druze. The situation could be a quantum leap in the geo-political stage setting for the Gog and Magog invasion.
TWO. The experiment with deploying militias against Israel has failed miserably. Expect to see a huge ramp-up of national armies in the near future in the region which enjoy full support (political, logistical, intel, and military) from Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Egypt.

One of the most unnerving things I see among those who bear the name evangelical is the inability to weigh strong challenges to their beliefs. Plain statements of Scripture, basic grammar rules, actual Greek or Hebrew usage, undeniable facts of history, unimpeachable testimony are dismissed with a cavalier wave of the hand. Why is this? Because error is built on a foundation of superstition not a foundation of faith based on objective truth. Therefore "truth" trumps truth and "narrative" trumps facts. The fact is, prejudice is impervious to truth and facts.

We are the earthen vessels into which the glorious truth of the gospel of God has been poured, causing our mortal bodies to become the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who uses this gospel light to guide us into all truth and as we proclaim the glorious gospel of grace to others. The treasure within is the Spirit of Christ ~ so that as we work the works of God, the surpassing greatness of His power will be of God and not of us. Let us praise His name for His inestimable grace towards us.

May we be those who are careful with words, guard our speech, and use our word to heal and not hurt, to guard and not gossip, to edify and encourage and not to wreak havoc. May our tongues be used to glorify God, knowing that this small instrument is under our personal control. May we choose to curb our tongue and use it for good and not for ill.

THE SUPERSTITION CYCLE
STEP ONE. Superstition presents a supposed objective case for a position.
STEP TWO. Robust evangelicalism exposes the supposed objective case as a contrived narrative that is supported with selective evidence. They present evidence that is fatal to every supposed substantive argument for the position.
STEP THREE. Superstition whines that robust evangelicalism is not giving their position a fair hearing.
STEP FOUR. Robust evangelicalism revisits the issue, pointing out once again that every supposed substantive argument for the position is based on partial evidence and that a robust examination of the evidence is fatal to both the individual arguments and the position as a whole.
STEP FIVE. Superstition retreats from the arena of objective argument, enters the arena of ad hominem argument, accuses robust evangelicalism of pride, stubbornness, and unteachability, and strengthens themselves in their narrative. Great is the Diana of our superstition! Down with contrary facts and evidence! Down with a robust application of the historical-grammatical hermeneutic!
STEP SIX. Robust evangelicalism once again finds itself shaking its head with a mix of sorrow and wonder at how pervasive superstition is in the ranks of evangelicalism. Then it bows its head and prays to the Lord for strength and wisdom to resist the siren songs of superstition. And if it be beholden to any, to have those chains broken.

We are the sheep and Jesus is the door of the sheep~pen, which leads to life eternal. And Jesus is the Good Shepherd of the sheep Who leads and guides, protects and feeds the sheep that belong to Him. As such, we are to listen to His Word and trust what He says ~ all of which is written in the Word of God, the holy Scriptures.
Let us pay heed to all that Jesus says. Let us trust all that the Word of God tells us.

Everyone who has believed God is credited with His righteousness and will be raised at the last days, but each will be resurrected in their order. Before the 70th week of Daniel, Church~age saints will be resurrected, while at the end of that terrible Tribulation period, both Old Testament believers and Tribulation saints will be resurrected. Millenium saints will be resurrected at the end of the Millenium, and we will ALL: "Behold Your face in righteousness; and be satisfied with Your likeness when we awake."

No matter what man tries to do to scupper the plans and purposes of God, there is no created thing in heaven above, the earth beneath, or the waters under the earth, either visible or invisible, that can separate us from the love of God which is ours in Christ Jesus; and nothing can halt God's purposes from being finally and fully fulfilled. Praise His holy name.

Christ fulfilled the whole Law in His life and death, the whole Law was nailed to the Cross. And because we are in Christ, the righteousness that He gained was also gained for us. We did not need to do anything to be clothed in His righteousness, except believe in Him as Saviour. If we now try to keep the Law, we are effectively saying what Christ did was not enough ~ which allows us to boast in our own efforts. What foolish people we are if we think that we can add to the Cross of Christ. No wonder Paul passionately proclaimed: "But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through the Cross, and I to the world."

As we approach Purim, I find it fascinating that influential Persian political figures are today scheming the genocide of the entire Jewish race, similar to the schemes of Haman that we read about in Esther. BUT GOD! The same Almighty God who worked amazingly behind the scenes for Israel's deliverance some 2500 years ago is still working behind the scenes today. He will preserve Israel and harm those who attempt to harm her. The God who never breaks his promises will yet fulfill ALL the promises he made to Israel.

Let us recognise that the normal Christian life in this fallen world, will inevitably result in persecution and pain. Jesus Himself warned that in this world we will have trials and tribulation ~ but we are not to be fearful, for He has overcome the world and we are victorious in Him. Let us, therefore, entrust our souls to our faithful Creator, by doing what is right ~ for this will bring glory to His name and may contribute to a lost sinner being snatched from the jaws of hell.

Col 3:1-4
1) If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2) Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3) For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4) When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
