Insightful Bible-based meditations and muses, in the form of strategic poetry, prose, song lyrics and music, on strategic spiritual issues of today and ‘our coming tomorrow’. See my profile below the archive.
Welcome~
Hello and Welcome~
The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:
1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'multi-millennial, strategic plan for humanity'.
2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.
3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.
4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding and general lukewarmness among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.
5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.
6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.
7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Jerusalem - Practice Runs and Types (Poem)
God seemingly loves practice runs and types,
Great, passionate and detailed speech by Secretary Kerry today.
ReplyDeleteWith both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian issue seemingly wishing the other would simply de-exist, can the multi-decade 'diplomatic veneer' placed over it ever penetrate and mitigate the deep-rooted hatred and distrust between these two groups?
The Bible encourages us to 'pray for the peace of Jerusalem', which is the core or root of the broader conflict. It also promises punishments for those who 'divide My (God's) land'. However, the ultimate Peace it refers to seems to be The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Moreover, as a result of a God-imposed Jewish exile 'from the land' (because of sin), and now His promise to return them all 'back to the land', there is a diverse population 'on the land'.
Given the actualities on the land, what does The Bible infer pending the arrival of The Prince of Peace? Any thoughts?
Jewish exiles were in Babylon for a minimum of 70 years. Afterward, many returned to the land, and many remained in post-Babylonian kingdom of Persia. In 16.5 months, Israel will be 70 years old.
What might this infer regarding the current state of play? Any thoughts?
Even before becoming a nation, the Jewish people had quite a yo-yo, in/out relationship with the land, including long periods of exile in Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and the world writ large. What we are currently witnessing is the unfolding of God's promise of their final, permanent return to the land from across the world. The majority outside of Israel reportedly live in North America.
What might it take for God's promise to be completed --another 70 years, or some particular event that would speed up their return? Any thoughts?
J!
