AGE OF THE EARTH

There is a great article in the latest issue of Creation magazine Vol 38 No 1 2016, entitled The Z Factor. It is about how a university geology lecturer’s last obstacle to believing a literal Genesis – “What about coal?”- was overturned in an instant.

He understood, the above picture revealed that the evolutionary millions-of-years ‘swamp forest’ story telling about coals origins cannot explain the Z-shaped and forked coal seams that are in abundance. They can only have formed through the action of rushing water.

For this Christian geology lecturer, this one picture was sufficient for him to realise Noah’s Flood was the causal factor in coal formation all over the world. “That’s it! That’s it! Noah’s Flood explains coal, the fossil bearing rocks. I believe everything now – the whole Bible. The universe is only 6,000 years old. What a wonderful day this is.”

It is important to realise that Z shaped and forked shaped coal seams are not the only features in coal deposits that defy evolution’s long age “swamp forest” storytelling. Others, include trees penetrating vertically through multiple layers of coal seams with their roots broken off, huge coal seams stacked on top of one another with a regular repeating sequence of rock layers in between, and the fact that coal seams contain much vegetation (like pine trees) that doesn’t grow in swamps!

For this geologist, evolutionary indoctrination about coal needing millions of years to form in forested swamps had been his final obstacle to believing the whole Bible. Do you believe the Bible, from its Creation account to its revelation of a new heaven and a new earth after the White Throne judgement of all mankind?  If evolution is a stumbling block for you, then can I suggest you get the video, Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels by 9 PhD scientists – available on http://www.creation.com.

 

LIVING ETERNAL NOW – AVAILABLE AS eBOOK ON AMAZON

Daily prayer as we meditate on HIS WORD develops our relationship with GOD and our ability to hear HIS voice. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice, not can or should hear my voice. They do hear HIS voice.

I first started this website (blog) in December 2012 and now have 173 posts up on the site. When I had put up post 150, God told me, it was time to reach a broader audience with HIS message that JESUS sacrificial death has provided the way back into a relationship with the Father and moved us from death to life – eternal life. The book just released on Amazon is the result.Amazon image of LENIf you have appreciated the website then may I ask you to get the message  out about the book. One of the good things about eBooks is the ability to continually update them. The last chapter in the  book is Discerning the Times (like the men of Issachar who understood the times and knew what Israel should do). This is one section of the book that I will constantly update. Another benefit of my eBook is I have been able to put links to the videos and articles that are mentioned in the book. A click and you connect to the video or article on the relevant site.

I would appreciate feedback on the book. If I can be of help, to answer any questions you have about the content as it relates to your own life, please send me an email.

Both of my eBooks are available now on Amazon at AUS$6.95 and US$4.99. My first book was Build a Kingdom Business – Empowered by the Holy Spirit.

 

Prominent Islamist to Brits – “You work and we take the money.”

Anjem Choudary, prominent British Islamist, has urged his followers to quit their jobs and claim unemployment benefits so they could have time to plot holy war. “We Muslims take Jizya (Tax levied by Muslim state on non-Muslim subjects), which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the kuffar (non-Muslim). They give us the money. You work, give us the money, Allahu Akhbar. We take the money.”

Choudary, who is married and has four children, enjoys a comfortable lifestyle that is being paid for, year after year, by British taxpayers. In 2010, the newspaper The Sun reported that he takes home more than £25,000 ($40,000) a year in welfare benefits

Even in a country with an established Islamic population such as Britain, Muslim unemployment languishes at 50% for men and 75% for women.

Do we think the situation is going to be any different in Australia? Our experience to date, shows us we have the exact same problem, but will our politicians take the difficult decisions to stem the Islamic tide.

Shariah Law for the UK

OTHER QUOTES by Anjem Choudary

“In the Quran it is not allowed for you to feel sorry for non-Muslims. I don’t feel sorry for him (British soldier killed by young Muslim terrorist).” — Anjem Choudary.
“Eventually the whole world will be governed by Shari’ah & Muslims will have authority over UK, China, Russia, USA etc. This is the promise of Allah.” — Anjem Choudary.
“Under the Koran the sale of alcohol is prohibited and if one were to also drink alcohol that would be 40 lashes.” — Anjem Choudary.
“We [Muslims] take the Jizya (tax levied by Muslim state on non muslims), which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the kuffar [non-Muslim]. They give us the money. You work, give us the money, Allahu Akhbar. We take the money.” — Anjem Choudary.

For decades now, the mass immigration of Muslims into Europe has been labelled “enrichment.” Shouting “Islamophobia” does not negate how it is virtually impossible to think of a single country actually made richer by it.The idea that with time, Islam’s religious tenets will somehow moderate and dissolve, merely by being lodged in Europe (or Australia), is wishful thinking, especially in communities where Muslim migrants are already outnumbering indigenous Europeans.
Finally, is it not a grim irony that population growth in Europe — with its responsibility for female emancipation — is now to depend entirely on importing a culture in which women have far less freedom over their fertility, and much else?

It also seems ironic that, despite Europe’s need to increase the number of women having children, the vast majority of new arrivals, for “repopulation purposes,” are young, often openly aggressive males.

Given such a gender disparity, with whom will these Muslim men expect — and be expected — to procreate?

Europe’s females, as demonstrated by a number of recent unattractive incidents mostly ignored by the mainstream media, have good reason to be alarmed by the realities of the current crisis and the vision of their future that the continent’s political masters have chosen for them.

The Abundant Life God Promises

No doubt, you have heard, as I have, messages from prominent preachers promising you health, wealth and happiness through coming to Jesus. There are verses in the 66 books of the Bible that support this premise but there is plenty of evidence in the scriptures and lives of Christians including the Apostles, that present a very different view.

“They were stoned, they were sawn into two, they were killed with the sword…..destitute, afflicted, mistreated” Hebrews 11:37

There is happiness that comes from the abundant life God promises to the believer (John 10:10). Moreover the Gospel has transformed societies and even nations with amazing benefits. Peace and joy does come from the indwelling Holy Spirit that assures us our sins are forgiven, FOREVER and as our relationship  with God deepens our lives are transformed into the likeness of Jesus.

In a real sense, the benefits are a side effect of the Gospel. They are an adjunct to the main game, which is all about God and the eternal relationship He desires with us.

We trust God and His Word and look forward to the promised New Heaven and New Earth. In the meantime we get on with accomplishing His plan and purpose for our lives.

A great shaking of America by God is imminent

God established the rainbow as one of His signs of covenant. On the night of America’s desecration of marriage by the Supreme Court decision, President Obama caused the walls of the White House, to be illumined in the colours of the rainbow, God’s holy vessel, to celebrate the desecration of God’s holy order. The American White House had now become a vessel of desecration.

The nations first President, George Washington uttered a prophetic warning in the first ever presidential address “The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right that heaven itself has ordained….” If America should ever turn away from God then judgment will come.

For those of you that have read The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn know that God has sent a number of warnings to America to repent and turn back to Him. The Nation that still has “In God we trust” on its bank notes is effectively shaking its collective fist at God in defiance. The only hope for revival in America is through a great shaking and it’s imminent.

PRAYER & FASTING

Do you pray and fast? If you don’t, it is unlikely you will accomplish anything that has eternal significance. Listen to Marilyn Hickey tell you how prayer and fasting has transformed her life and thousands if not millions of other lives. Transformation that has eternal significance.

It is amazing the number of verses in the Bible that demonstrate God answers ALL believers prayers that originate in Him and end in Him.

“Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” John 14:3

“If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14

“You did not choose me but I chose you  and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.” John 15;16 

“Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive , and your joy will be complete.” John 16:24

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7, Luke 11:9

“For everyone who asks receives, and who seeks shall find, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:8

“And whatever you ask in prayer , you will receive if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22

“Whatever you ask in prayer , believe you have received it and it shall be yours.” Mark 11:24

“The desire of the righteous shall be granted.” Proverbs 10:24

God wants you to ASK. It demonstrates you have confidence in Him. Asking also portrays humility. Do you ask?

WORLDWIDE FLOOD (Genesis) AUTHENTICATED IN CLAY

Nippur-tablet

Fig. 3. The Nippur tablet (c. 2100 BC) translated by Hilprecht.

During the last decade of the nineteenth century, the University of Pennsylvania conducted a number of archaeological digs in the ancient Babylonian city of Nippur. Among the remains of the temple library, they found a tiny tablet fragment containing another account of the Flood.

It was translated by Hermann Hilprecht, an expert Assyriologist, and was found to agree with Genesis remarkably in its details. It speaks of a deluge that would destroy all life, and how God commanded the building of a great ship in which the builder, his family and animals were to be preserved.

The tablet could be dated quite precisely for a number of reasons, foremost of which is that the library in which it was found was known to be destroyed around 2100 BC, when the Elamites invaded Nippur. Hilprecht believed it was written sometime between 2137 and 2005 BC.

Also of significance is that the language of the Nippur tablet is quite different from that of most of the other tablets recovered alongside it. It is very close to biblical Hebrew, again indicating that the Genesis account was not derived from Babylonian myths. It also lacks the gross polytheism of the Gilgamesh account.

The account of a global flood, in which God judged the wickedness of man, must be one of the most ridiculed passages of the Bible. At the same time, it is attested to by some of our most ancient historic records, numerous documents and legends from all over the world, the fossil record, and many facts of geology.  We ignore it at our peril.

The Genesis account of THE FALL and NOAH’S FLOOD give us an explanation for a world full of death and suffering. Death and suffering were not there in the original creation, and with Christ’s resurrection, we know it will one day be done away with forever.
