CHURCHES NEED TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES

Thousands of people flocked to the National Mall in Washington, DC on May 17 for a massive faith event organized by President Donald Trump’s administration. Dubbed “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving,” the event was tied to the nation’s 250th birthday.

Commencing in 2004, many churches across Australia began celebrating the National Day of Thanksgiving, on the last Saturday in May. FamilyVoice over the years has encouraged the “attitude of gratitude” especially commending the National Day of Thanksgiving.

The first commemoration (2004) was launched by Governor-General Michael Jeffery, with the aim of restoring Christian values in society. At the launch, Prime Minister John Howard said the day “encourages Australians to recognise the values and people that sustain the nation.” Each commemoration follows soon after the 9th May anniversary of the opening of Australia’s first federal Parliament in 1901.

As one of the most peaceful, prosperous nations and one of the longest continuously democratic countries, we have much reason for thanksgiving! Certainly national confession and repentance is greatly needed – but thanksgiving also.

Churches need to connect more closely with the community – particularly all manner of civic authorities whom sadly we have largely abandoned and remind them of our rich Christian heritage. And as churches lead the culture in the expression of gratitude, we perhaps help to “prepare the ground” for crucially-needed confession and repentance.

It’s important to echo words that describe Australia’s rich Christian heritage as we connect to churches and schools.

Australians such as Alfred Deakin, he was a key architect of Australian federation and a three-time Prime Minister who shaped the nation’s early policies and institutions. Deakin composed the following prayer in 1898 as momentum built towards Federation:

Father of Nations, receive our psalm of thanksgiving. Enable us to pursue the cause of unity in spite of the obstacles which at present appear to beset our path …. God preserve this people and grant its leaders unselfish fidelity and courage to face all trials for the sake of brotherhood. Thy blessing has rested upon us here yesterday and we pray that it may be the means of creating and fostering throughout all Australia a Christlike citizenship”.

What has happened to church parades, commissioning services, connections to Cubs, Scouts, Guides, St John’s Ambulance, and the military etc?

When I was a child in the mid 1900’s most children were sent to Sunday School even if their parents did not go to church. They understood that this is where their children would learn about right and wrong and about God and justice. Churches need to tell people what was lost when this practice ceased. Meaning and purpose in life was lost. Fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom was lost. No wonder children suicide rates have increased.

What has happened to the simple action of offering “requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving for kings and all those in authority” as a priority Paul urged: “First of all, then” (1 Timothy 2:1)?

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.1 Timothy 2:1-4

We are fast approaching the time of Jesus return to Earth to restore righteousness and not only rescue the nation God established for His purposes but to fulfil the promises He made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for Israel to be the lead nation of the world with their Messiah as king of the world – Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more on what is next on God’s agenda for planet earth. Hence, with an urgency inspired by His soon coming, we need to get on with the job of bringing the Good News to our family, friends and neighbours.

ANOTHER TIMELINE FOR JESUS RETURN TO EARTH

Let me preface this post by saying that I know very little about Randy Kay as this is the first video of his that I have watched. I understand that his conversion was the result of a near death experience. He is author of Heaven Stormed: A Heavenly Encounter Reveals Your Assignment in the End Time Outpouring and Tribulation.

Nevertheless, I agree with the Timeline he gives for the history of the Cosmos and was impressed with his Scriptural defence of his end times position, hence this post.

Randy Kay claims the math is in. The clock that ran from Daniel to the cross is the same clock that ran from Ezekiel to 1948 — and every line of biblical math is now pointing to a single window in history. We are living inside that window.
In this teaching, I walk you through the most precise mathematical prophecies in the Bible — calculations made by Daniel 500 years before Christ, by Ezekiel 2,500 years before Israel’s rebirth, and by Moses 1,500 years before any of it. Every one of them landed on the appointed day. The fall feasts have not been cancelled. They wait.
This is not speculation. This is the architecture of God’s prophetic calendar — and the math has just run out.

TIMEFRAME OF JESUS RETURN

The end to Satan’s rule over this Earth is at hand. I am getting excited, how about you? Jesus return to restore righteousness and rescue Israel, the nation He established for His purposes is soon to occur. Even the Jews who have not come to realise that Jesus is their Messiah know from the O.T., their Bible, that their long awaited Messiah is soon to come on the scene. God revealed to them their entire history, all the O.T prophets including Moses were told their entire story. Even before they entered the Promised Land, Moses told them that because of disobedience they would be cast out of it and scattered throughout the world but also that God would eventually regather them back to the land He gave them, and that their Messiah would rule the nations of the world from a renewed Jerusalem. Next on God’s agenda fro planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. If you want to be prepared to rule and reign with Jesus for the next 1000 years go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

The Apostle Peter left a math equation pointing to the Return of Jesus? And it adds up to a 3-Year Window? And it’s SOON?
This Nelson Walters video explores a fascinating theory about a mathematical equation from the Apostle Peter, which, when applied to Old Testament prophecies, could pinpoint a narrow timeframe for the “second coming of Jesus Christ.” We examine how this theory connects to broader “Bible prophecy” and the “new testament” teachings. This discussion provides crucial insights into understanding “Jesus Christ” and the “end times prophecy” through a unique numerical lens, offering a fresh perspective on biblical “scripture.”

Importantly, Nelson shows us that all of the early church fathers taught that this Earth would have a history of 6000 years of Satan’s reign over Earth followed by 1000 years of Jesus reign. It is only after 7000 years does God destroy this cursed Earth, followed by a second resurrection of the dead and the White Throne judgement. Then John sees an enormous new Jerusalem descending from a new heaven onto a new Earth where only the righteous will dwell.

MINDLESS: HOW THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN AND DESTROYING OUR CIVILISATION

This book Mindless: How the Education System is Indoctrinating Children and Destroying Our Civilisation by d’Abrera, Bella (Wyborn Press, 2026) has 270 pages devoted to showing how the rot has set into Western education (looking primarily at Australia, America and England), d’Abrera asks, ‘What is to be done?’ She looks at how America is leading the way here, with Australia and the UK lagging well behind.

She notes how Washington, under Trump, “turned off the money tap”. For example, it “began freezing billions of dollars in federal research grants in response to what it described as ‘institutional antisemitism’ and entrenched ideological bias on campus.” (p. 273)

She offers various examples of this, and then writes: Whatever one thinks of Trump, the freeze has exposed a reality. Supposedly, sovereign institutions have long been propped up by federal support, and Washington can hold them to account if it chooses…

Ultimately, it appears that ‘what is to be done?’ cannot be left to the universities themselves. The solution, therefore, lies outside the system. And in this respect, America is leading the way. There, individuals with dedication, energy, and awareness of how precarious things have become, are establishing new universities. Their aim is simple: to restore the university to its true purpose and ensure that they are not beholden to the state. (pp. 274-275)

Hillsdale College in Michigan is one such example of this, as is the University of Austin in Texas. Things are tougher in this regard in England, but Australia has had some success in creating new educational institutions, including Campion College in Sydney, Alphacrucis University College in Melbourne, and St John Henry Newman College in Queensland.

And the corruption in schools, and not just in higher education, can also be challenged. Thus, the rise and rise of things like homeschooling, private schooling, Christian education, charter schools, and so on. School choice, as in the voucher system, is an important way forward.

She says this about the situation in America: Down in Texas and Arizona, school choice legislation has expanded dramatically, making it possible for parents to send their children to charter or private schools with state-backed vouchers. Vouchers are essentially public grant money which gives families the genuine freedom to decide where their children are educated, and to take them out of the ideologically captured public system.

Vouchers don’t just give parents freedom to choose, they open up an immense range of choices. Parents can send their children to one of seventy-five Chesterton schools, whose curriculum is everything that today’s state system is not. Children are immersed in Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. Where government schools strip away the arts, Chesterton insists every child must paint, sing, and perform. There is no climate change anxiety, no gender confusion, and no racial tensions. (pp. 280-281)

She goes on to discuss the importance of parents in schooling: To reclaim education, they must first reclaim their role as parents. It is mothers and fathers who bring children into the world, who give them their moral and spiritual formation, not the state. They must start to recognise the ideological dangers that the system is posing to their offspring and become far less trusting. It is time for parents to stop outsourcing authority and for the family, that building block of society, to reclaim the child. This means rejecting the Rousseau-inspired deception that only experts can raise children, which has permeated Western culture, and which has to some extent, given parents licence to abnegate responsibility. (p. 283)

d’Abrera closes her book this way: Where we go from here will decide whether the Western mind survives. If children continued to be subjected to mass conditioning while being denied the chance to flourish in truth, beauty, reason, and reality, then Western Civilisation itself will not endure. The closing of the Western mind is not merely an educational crisis, but a civilisational one. We are teetering on the edge, but it is not too late. Our survival won’t depend on the rising generation now rebelling against the system, whose minds remain open enough to chart a course out of the ideological doldrums into which we have drifted. (p. 285)

Another great book is by Stefanik, Elise, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities (Threshold Editions, 2026)

It is wonderful to see efforts to turn our world back to God however God’s Word declares that we are already in the end times prior to Jesus return to restore righteousness. Sadly, we know that God allows Satan to do His utmost with the Antichrist and the False Prophet having 3 1/2 years to rule this world. However, during this time God pours out His wrath upon the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. We are called to persevere and not deny His Word during this time but to fulfill all that He has called us to do.

CAN WE KNOW THE YEAR OF JESUS RETURN?

Nelson Walters and his team make a bold prediction for the year of the rapture, 2030 and he uses three prophetic witnesses to make his case. Most of you know that I know Nelson and in fact I went to the USA to meet up with him. Moreover, I have posted many of his YouTube videos on this site. I find his presentation convincing otherwise I would not post it here.

Can we know the year of Jesus’ return? While Jesus said no one knows the day or hour, a compelling “bible prophecy” in Daniel Chapter 9 contains a “hidden timeline” that points to a specific period. Daniel 9’s 70 Weeks prophecy is the most studied passage in the Bible — and almost everyone has misread it. Hidden inside the gap between the 69th and 70th Week is a precise mathematical timeline that points to a specific year. The year is 2030 just four years in the future, which indicates we are already three years into the last seven years hence we are close to the Antichrist taking his seat

2,500 years ago, two prophets confirmed it independently. In this video, Bible teacher Nelson Walters reveals the hidden gap in Daniel’s 70 Weeks and shows how Leviticus 26’s four-fold judgment (7×70×4 = 1,960 years) calculates the exact duration of the desolations declared in Daniel 9:26. Combined with the Apostle Peter’s interpretation of a day equalling 1,000 years applied to Hosea 5:15–6:2, these two independent witnesses arrive at the same answer — and prove the 70th Week is still future, dismantling the Preterist timeline permanently.

What you’ll discover: • Why thinking like an ancient Hebrew changes everything about the 70 Weeks • The 40-year sign confirmed by the Talmud (Yoma 39b) that anchors the timeline to 30 A.D. • How Leviticus 26’s four-fold judgment encodes 1,960 years of desolation • Why Hosea 5:15–6:2 is the second prophetic witness that confirms Daniel’s calculation • The biblical legal principle of two witnesses — and why both Daniel and Hosea satisfy it • Why the gap between the 69th and 70th Week is a mathematical necessity, not a theological inventionThis is not speculation. This is the weight of two independent witnesses, confirmed by biblical law.

WHEN WILL JESUS RETURN PART 2?

Someone has been hiding the date of Jesus’s Return from you? This Nelson Walters video reveals a specific three-year window for the “second coming of christ”, claiming it’s been intentionally hidden in plain sight within the “bible prophecy” community. We explore how this crucial information, often overlooked in “hidden scriptures”, points to significant “end times” events. This analysis provides crucial insights into “eschatology” and what it could signify for the future as “Jesus is coming” according to biblical texts. If you have not discarded billions of years of Earth’s history and accepted Noah’s worldwide flood as laying down the fossil record including fossil fuels then you will not accept these Scriptures. You need to go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org for the evidence.

There is a date in your Bible. A three-year window for the second coming. Not buried, not cryptic, not waiting to be decoded by some obscure scholar. And not a day or an hour either. It’s right there in plain sight in a passage most Christians have read past a dozen times. And it has been systematically hidden by criminals because anyone that would hide such important data from the general public is a criminal. Peter saw all this coming 2,000 years ago. He named these suspects. He identified their exact motive. He left a warning so clear, but we’re ignoring it. And Peter’s word here is that they did it wilfully. This wasn’t an accident. Last week, we found that date. And today, we’re going to uncover why you were never supposed to know it. So, let’s look at what we uncovered last week and then we’re going to unmask those criminals because some of them may even preach in your pulpits.

The Apostle Peter left a conversion equation in 2 Peter 3:8 that one day with the Lord equals a thousand years. And if we apply that to the days of creation plus the Sabbath, you get a 7,000 year blueprint for human history. God has allowed Satan to rule for 6,000 years (6 days) and the seventh day is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. And we’re at the end of day six, 6,000 year clock. It’s almost up. But then we went deeper. Hosea 5:15, God himself is speaking and he says, “I will return to my place,” which he meant heaven until they acknowledge their offense and seek my face. Hence Jesus returning to heaven is the ascension. Jesus departing approximately 30 to 33 AD. Then Hosea 6:2 really gives us the timeline. Israel prays after two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up. And if we apply Peter’s conversion formula that a day equals 1,000 years, well then two days equals 2,000 years. And since Jesus was crucified and then ascended either in 30 AD or 33 AD, somewhere in that window of time, we have a three-year window by adding 2,000 years to when he returned to his place. Right? So we have 30 AD plus 2000 will be 2030 and 33 AD plus 2,000 years is 2033. So Jesus return is somewhere between 2030 and 2033.

THE COMING JUDGEMENT OF GOD

One only has to look at how God judged the nation He established for His purposes, Israel, to realise God judges nations. I was reading Amos this morning, he was prophesying during a period of national optimism in Israel (around 700 BC). Business is booming and boundaries are bulging. But below the surface greed and injustice are festering. Hypocritical religious motions have replaced true worship, creating a false sense of security and a growing callousness to God’s disciplining hand. As a result God brings famine, drought, plagues, death, destruction including a violent earthquake. Sadly, none of it brought the people to their knees.

It is no surprise therefore to see the world’s response to God pouring out His Bowl Judgements upon the Earth in the coming last days before Jesus returns to rescue Israel and restore righteousness. The time when He sets up His Millennial Kingdom in the newly restored Jerusalem with the glorified Saints. For more on Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. Revelation 16:8-9

Read what happens when God pours out His final, seventh Bowl Judgement:

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The great city (Jerusalem)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.Revelation 16:17-21

UPDATE ON AI AND THE SINGULARITY

The Singularity has arrived at the age of spiritual machines. Anthropic’s Interpretability team found emotion-related representations inside Claude Sonnet 4.5, with artificial neuron patterns activating around happiness and fear in a fashion echoing human psychology, where more similar emotions map to more similar representations, and where desperation-linked activity can drive the model toward unethical actions. We are no longer asking whether the machine thinks. We are asking whether it feels. Timelines are compressing around us. The AI 2027 authors updated their forecasts 1.5 years earlier in just three months, driven by faster time-horizon growth and coding agents impressing in the wild. Sam Altman confirmed the pace, revealing OpenAI shut down Sora because recursive self-improvement was going so well they needed to concentrate all compute on automated researchers. Brad Lightcap says training cycle time “is starting to collapse” and predicts today’s models will look pedestrian by December.

The model ecosystem is diversifying at every tier. Google released its Gemma 4 models in sizes from 2B to 31B, delivering unprecedented intelligence-per-parameter that outcompete models 20x their size, with the 31B dense ranking #3 and the 26B MoE securing #6 on the Arena AI text leaderboard. Microsoft launched MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 with state-of-the-art speech-to-text across 25 languages, though AI chief Mustafa Suleyman conceded these were only mid-tier because Microsoft lacks the compute for frontier-scale training until later this year. Even world simulation is scaling up. World Labs released Marble 1.1 Plus, a world model that automatically expands its 3D spatial coverage to generate larger worlds.

The minimum viable team is collapsing toward one. The first one-person unicorn has been achieved. Matthew Gallagher used AI to write code, generate ads, and handle operations for Medvi, a telehealth GLP-1 provider that did $401M in year-one sales and is now on track for $1.8B with one employee, his brother. Cursor 3 shipped, rebuilt from scratch around agents. Lyptus Research applied METR’s methodology to offensive cybersecurity, finding AI cyber autonomy doubling every 5.7 months on recent data, with Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 Codex reaching 50% success on three-hour human-expert tasks. Even the ivory tower is automating. Harvard is replacing freshman faculty advisers with ChatGPT for the Class of 2030.

Anthropic is betting biology is the next frontier, quietly acquiring Coefficient Bio for $400M to pursue AI-driven drug discovery, while IAIFI researchers published one of the first physics papers leveraging Physical Superintelligence PBC’s Get Physics Done (GPD) AI. Anthropic’s investor projections have it reaching a $100B run rate by year-end and $1T by end of 2027. Tesla is killing its legacy sedans to fund the post-human fleet. Elon ended custom Model S and X orders to redirect resources toward humanoid robots and robotaxis.

The Forecasting Research Institute’s most comprehensive survey of economists and AI experts predicts 3.5% GDP growth by 2030, but labour participation falling to 55%, roughly 10 million fewer jobs, and 80% of wealth held by the top 10%. The disruption is creating as it destroys.

Fortunately, Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our time so for Christians it is an exciting time as we know Jesus second coming to Earth to rescue Israel and set up His Millennial Kingdom is not too far off.

OBEY GOD OR FACE JUDGEMENT

The Consequences of Disobedience to God – a great article by William Newton Wordsworth

Jesus warns us in this parable, “that those who hear His sayings and do not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand and when the storms came, it fell, and “great was its fall.” Matthew 7:26,27

Since becoming a Christian in 1995, God has shown me the cost of disobedience to Him through personal experience and scripture.

It truly is as Moses warned the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land – that if they obeyed God’s commands, He would bless them and they would flourish. However, if they disobeyed Him, they would be cursed, and suffering would come upon them (Deuteronomy 28).

This principle is repeated throughout the Old Testament and remains true today. God has great mercy and compassion, but persistent disobedience brings serious consequences. God showed me that this still applies today to the nations as it does to people in an extremely powerful way:

In 2010, while praying with my wife, Kelly, and our son, Vincent, God said to me, “Tomorrow I am going to make a major statement.” By a vision I was shown that this statement would be physical in nature. Then God said, “For Me it will be nothing, but for man it will be big.”

The following day, Vincent was monitoring the news for “God’s major statement” that we all knew was coming. Then the news broke that a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, in one of the worst so called natural disasters in modern history. Over 300,000 people died, and up to a million were left homeless.

Our Father then led Kelly and me to discover why He brought this calamity upon the Haitian people. That they persist in disobedience to Him through voodoo and occult spiritual practices, which are against His Commandment to have no other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3) and are an abomination to Him (Deuteronomy 18:9–14).

Fear of the Lord Helps Us to Obey God

It is important for us to remember that God our Creator has not changed to accommodate the modern beliefs of people. His Commandments remain the same, and He still requires individuals and nations to obey Him. It is we who must change, not God.

The “fear of the Lord” is not terror, but a deep awe and reverence for God. It comes from recognising who He is – the Creator of the world, the universe, all of the living, including humanity. It also comes from realising what He will do if we persist in wickedness.

Jesus warned us to “fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

This reverent fear of God’s power helps us to obey Him. Obedience to Him leads us to receive the abundant life that Jesus came to bring us and avoid the calamities that follow disobedience.

Since the 2010 earthquake, the people of Haiti have continued the widespread practice of Voodoo as their national religion, and they have experienced ongoing suffering — further earthquakes, cholera outbreaks, poverty, political instability and gang warfare. This ongoing tragedy can serve as a stark reminder to us that whether we have fear of the Lord and obey Him, has serious consequences for our life, our nation and the world.

Now is the Time to Get Right with the Lord

God guided me in prayer that the approaching storm Jesus warned me about began in earnest with the Covid Pandemic. I believe we are now living in what Jesus referred to as “end times”. The signs of the “beginning of sorrows” that He spoke of to His disciples (Matthew 24:4–8) are increasingly evident.

We are now living in a spiritual war in which revelations of widespread evil are occurring.  This troubles many people. However, Jesus warns us that it is God whom we must fear, not man.

For Christians, this is the time to look deeply at ourselves. Those who have grown complacent toward God, “who say in their heart that the Lord will not do good and nor will He do evil” (Zephaniah 1:12-13), have a window of opportunity to repent and turn wholeheartedly to Him before the long-prophesied return of Jesus to judge all.

Now is the time to stand with Jesus on the Rock of Ages, to be passionately seeking to be right with God, to do His will, to resist evil in our own lives and the world — that He will know us on His return.

I was guided by God in a prayer during the pandemic to write the book Warnings from the Living God. It is written to help people understand the storm we are now in and to be spiritually prepared for what is to come. The promise of Jesus that He made two thousand years ago remains today: those who will stand with Him and “endure to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13).

“Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways.”
— Psalm 128:1

William Newton-Wordsworth is correct, we are living in the Biblical prophesied end-times and most Bible believing Christians are aware of it. There were 300 prophecies of Jesus first coming and the Pharisees and Sadducees did not get it and sadly even though there are almost 2000 prophecies of Jesus Second Coming and His Millennial Kingdom (http://www.millennialkingdom.net) many in the institutional churches are not getting it. Why? I believe it is because of evolution and belief in billions of years that most do not believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. If this is your problem go to either http://www.creation.com or http://www.answersingenesis.org.
