NEWS 62

News ? THIS IS NEWS.

It is not recent in composition, but it is recent in application - tomorrow for example. See THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TRACED THROUGH THE BIBLE, ALWAYS THE SAME, CONSUMMATED OVER CENTURIES OF PREPARATION, FORESHADOWED, PREDICTED IN DETAIL, ITS COVERAGE OF PEOPLES PREDICTED. As to news, this fulfilment of prophecy is still going on, through millions, to millions. Read all about it. It IS fascinating how the Lord has engineered the details, presented the plan and performed the needful operations.

This coverage has recently been revised - not the Gospel, it has NEVER been revised nor will be (Galatians 1:6-9), but the account given here, to make it more readily followed for the reader.

The Nil Understanding of Naturalism and the Difference between Ecumania and Ecumenicism, Biblically: plus the Difference between the bombast of unsubstantiated imaginings, drugged with the intoxication of irrationality, and the verified and directive word of God. The difference for many is this: their lives.

ISRAEL ASSAILED BY THAT COMBINATION OF PAN-ISLAM AND EUROPEAN UNION VERBAL WAR, WHICH INCREASINGLY MATCHES THE BIBLICAL 'ALL THE NATIONS' … of Zechariah 14, and 'the surrounding nations' of Zechariah 12:

Time Magazine, Jan. 11, 1999

This time while we look at the secular reconstruction concept, through manipulation of genes, we will look in parallel at the theological reconstructionist concepts, which similarly would act as if to reconstruct history in vain departure from the provisions and speech of God.

The directions in the first case are in the DNA, in the second, in the Bible.
 
 

News 44

So it is sex in the service of neo-Christianity ?

Morals of yesterday are those of today, for they all belong to God, come from Christ, the same yesterday, today, forever (Hebrews 13:8), reason itself attesting what revelation commands. Many highly placed are at war with God on this issue; and it is only one of many.

FREEDOM FOR DICTATES - or
HOW TO LOSE FREEDOM BY TALKING ABOUT IT

Religion is that little area now being pawed at, by the lion of political oppression, in the name of freedom. Common in Communism, it is being newly bred for Australia, for the taste of the lion. It takes some double-talk to seduce, and this is exposed, with reference to an Advertiser Editorial, and  the Child Rights and Religious Declarations of the UN.

NEWS 41
The Australian Dec.11, 1998, p. 9.

West Bank Joys are few.

Amidst all but endless strife, strife about Oslo agreements, about failure to keep conditions, rules, about riots, about terrorists, about deaths, about grisly disregard of life and impositions on children, desire for peace and prohibition of peace, desire for security and invasion of security, desire for breathing space in the Jewish allotment called Israel, and desire to breath that space on the part of others, we now find amidst the marvellous handshaking and President Clintonesque intonations, a further blatancy.

While Benjamin Netanyahu requires a "halt to the street violence and a public renunciation by Mr Arafat of polans to unilaterally declare a Palestinian State, Mr Arafat now enunciates something rather different: "We will declare a Palestinaian State... with Jerusalem its capital", to the pacific Fatah movement. Perhaps France will declare England to be privileged to participate in a French State, with London the capital. It is at least a variant to find Jerusalem and not just East Jerusalem in this Jules Verne provincialisation of the land God gave to the Jews. Peace ? It is simply unavailable while there is war with God; religion is no more up for grabs than physics, and indeed rather less so! (see News 40). Meta-religion is met with and it is in vain to seek to dismantle what God has decreed. Experiments of this kind litter history; they do little more.
 

NEWS 40

Friday, Dec.11, 1998 saw The Australian on p. 6 do a little exposé on juvenile crime, in terms of the experience of a prominent judge. Where are children heading in this new form of disease inducement, added to their perils in growing up! It is time to resolve this point.

Queensland's "top Children's Court judge" criticised deeply the presumption that children under 14 "did not have the capacity for criminal behaviour". It is in fact not so long ago in this country that children at 14 were 'fully educated', well
equipped for their new work duties, and were given in their final school year, material aimed at having them not only compos mentis, but responsible and ready to develop in their fields.

NEWS 39

The week ending October 31, 1998 has been a vigorous one for the Middle East. TV shows have been burdened with the Washington talks on the future of the area.

Hussein of Jordan has been a peace-broker, Clinton of the U.S., a power-broker, Netanyahu a merchandiser, ostensibly at least of land for peace. If the peace is not suitable, where goes the land ? The land, it appears from Arafat, the peace invader, is quite suitable. What is the significance of these developments ?
 

NEWS 38

Time, August 31, 1998

Bin Laden, called a 'renegade' Saudi, of various address including Pakistan, appears interested in offence, offensiveness against the U.S., the Saudi royal family and Israel, according to Time.

In this article, from the hyperlink above, we review this foreground in the presence of the background from Jeremiah chiefly, noting this, that JEREMIAH IS MORE THAN JEREMIAD.

He is more masterful in dealing in this way, at God's command
with the future from that distant past time, THEN, than any are ABLE to create it NOW! This we attest and show from the evidence.

THE STABILITY OF BLOOD

Time Magazine, July 6, 1998,

Time Magazine, July 6, 1998 - p.45, provides an interesting light on China under Communist rule, noting the officially hoped for "friendship" in terms of "for ever" and the assessment of the blood of Tiananmen...

This is analysed and subjected to Biblical scrutiny, at Barbs, Arrows and Balms, Item 18, Aspiration to Ascend, The Necessity to Descend and the Opportunity to Amend (esp. Section 4).

36. WHY is the Middle East
a Cauldron ?

The Australian, June 22, 1998, World News

JERUSALEM - The Tragedy,
The Victory and the Triumph

Jerusalem is now set to become a super-metropolis, with towns on the West of it, to be annexed, but those on the East merely to receive municipal services. Outrage!

 

35. POLITICS IN PERSPECTIVE ...

Time Magazine, pp. 38-39,

June 15, 1998

RUSSIA

Her prison system may not be in need of another Solzhenitsyn to expose it, for it is now more open.

Yet it appears in some ways almost to resemble the GULAG - too little food, ravishing disease, with TB and AIDS for example, allegedly increasing at a dangerous rate - under-paid Staff - growing population, a dismal and derelict feeling.

With a reported 280,000 held in pre-trial centres, and some 711,000 inmates, outside the juvenile centres, there is plenty to fill and even overcrowd, for the noted 731 penal centres, much a benediction without balm from the maledictions, malevolences and malignities of the Stalin era.

For a survey article touching this development, in the area of background, with elements of diagnosis and prescription, click  here.

34. RELIGION IN ISRAEL,

Time Magazine, first week of May, 1998.
 Tempests and truth.

Social tensions in Israel and the Rest in Truth which Remains Available,

the Unifying Option

This is now incorporated in Barbs, Arrows and Balms, and adapted as Item 20.

33. "Israeli Christians 'compromise' on bill" ...

New Life, Melbourne, April 9, 1998
 

HOW did the apostles handle a parallel challenge ?

Faith and ... fostering a festering world.

Israel's integrity and that of all others, is one before God without Christ, a fact not altered by God's integrity in protecting her in her present place.

(This has now been incorporated in the work, Biblical Blessings,  with some developments,
and it is this version which here appears.)

WHOSE IS WHAT IN ISRAEL ?

Israel and Fair-Play

31."WHEW!" ... "A Cosmic False Alarm" -

TIME, March 23, 1998 starts a major article with these words.
It is time  to see what makes such news not so new! Cosmic alarm goes not so well with spiritual stupefaction.

30.Time for us to examine, this time, Time's
'TIME'S ' UNTIMELY TREATMENT . March 9, 1998... Is it a case, in this instance, of the History Manufacturing
Co. ? Time's untimely invasion of history ?

29. Weather - IMPORTANT GUEST AT THE PARTY - Feb. 28, 1998 Adelaide Advertiser, Feb.25, Time Magazine, 'March 2, 1998'.Weather pangs and prophecy.
 

  28. AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT FOR SALE ? Or for Salve? Is this an exercise in wits or wisdom? The Australian, February 2, 1998, p. 11 gives some thoughts on our future "governor-general" cum "president" if republicanism is elected to serve the nation. Where then is a Biblical lead for the land?

27 AUTHORITY IS NOT EVERYTHING: There is LIFE!

In view of the huge swathe of sentiment, suggestion and congestion on the topic of female elders, lady rulers in the church Jesus Christ ordained, whether in the Anglican, the Presbyterian (1997-1998, Australian Presbyterian Life) or other fields, it may be helpful to review your news with what God says.

See Assault on Timothy and The Dance of Life. The word of God readily cuts through pretension. Not news? It is ALWAYS news to see it ... yet once again!

26 TWIN. Let's look at the news item 26, the last of 1997 below, with opened eyes -

BONUS  TITLE

The Generation of the Dispossessed...

It will be a happy new year to those who find their possessions in Christ,

from whom comes just identity;

the thrust of a goal abundantly worth-while,

instead of a myriad of ludicrous lusts;

in place of yearning, squirming or pragmatism - truth;

instead of flimsy philandering, or worse - love.
