SCOTTISH THEOLOGIAN PETER JAMES FORSYTH ON HOPE AND VICTORY

Posted on by

How good is it to find gems in books by authors you have never heard of. I owned and distributed Christian books for over 30 years. I purchased Christian Press in 1983 but had never heard of Scottish theologian, Peter James Forsyth or his books, The Cruciality of the Cross (1899), The Work of Christ (1910) and The Justification of God (1917) just three gems of over 100 books published.

I give you two quotes from The Justification of God:

“No reason of man can justify God for His treatment of His Son; but whatever does justify it justifies God’s whole providence with the universe, and solves its problem. He so spared not His Son as with Him to give us all things. The true theology of the Cross and its atonement is the solution of the world. There is no other. It is that or none. And that theology is that the Cross is not simply the nadir of Incarnation, but that it is God’s self-offering (under the worst conditions that love could feel for evil man) to His own holy name. The just God is the chief sufferer, and sole Doer. The holy love there is in action everywhere. The most universal thing in the universal Christ is His cross. Everywhere, according to God’s ubiquity, imminence, or what you will, His holy love is invincibly at issue with death, sin, and sorrow. Everywhere is redemption. And that is the only theodicy. The purpose of salvation is the principle of creation; and the ruling power of the world is the purpose of God.“

It is no light problem that faces the Creator in His world. There was never such a fateful experiment as when God trusted man with freedom. But our Christian faith is that He well knew what He was about. He did not do that as a mere adventure, not without knowing that He had the power to remedy any abuse of it that might occur, and to do this by a new creation more mighty, marvellous, and mysterious than the first. He had means to emancipate even freedom, to convert moral freedom, even in its ruin, into spiritual. After the first creation drew on His might, the second taxed his all-might. It revealed His power as moral majesty, as holy omnipotence, most chiefly shown in the mercy that redeems and reconciles. To redeem creation is a more creative act than it was to create it. It is the last thing omnipotence could do. What is omnipotence but the costly and inevitable action of holiness in establishing itself everywhere for ever. The supreme power in the world is not simply the power of a God but of a holy God, upon whose rule all things wait, and may wait long. It is no slack knot that the Saviour has to undo. All the energy of a perverse world in its created freedom pulled on the tangle to tighten it. And its undoing has given the supreme form to all God’s dealing with the world. But at the same time the snarl is not beyond being untied. Man is born to be redeemed. The final key to the first creation is the second; and the first was done with the second in view. If moral freedom is the crown of the first creation, spiritual, holy freedom is the goal of moral; and it is the gift in the second creation. The first creation was the prophecy of the second; the second was the first tragically ‘arrived.’ There was moral resource in the Creator equal to anything that might happen to the creature or by him. And that resource is put forth in Christ — in His overcoming of the world on the Cross, and His new creation of it in the Spirit. All God’s omnipotence is finally there. The great goal is not the mere fruitage of the first creation, but another creation more creative still. The first does not glide into the second; there is a crisis of entirely new departure. (pp. 122-124)

And the book’s final paragraph must also be shared here:

Faith is more than an individual calm; it is the Church’s collective confidence on the scale of the world for the destiny of the world. The evil world will not win at last, because it failed to win at the only time it ever could. It is a vanquished world where men play with devilries. Christ has overcome it. It can make tribulation, but desolation it can never make. (p. 223)

Jesus return to earth to restore righteousness is not too far distant. The many Biblical end times prophecies are playing out in our day. Hallelujah!

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and He has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Revelation 19:11-13

AS PROPHESIED GOD IS DRAWING JEWS BACK TO ISRAEL PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN

Posted on by

“Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

In an upscale Tel Aviv neighbourhood – the kind filled with joggers, beach bars and hotels that attract wealthy holidaymakers – Tahli Engel, formerly of Melbourne, tells a story you hear a lot in Israel, and it captures one of the most ­important, but least understood, perspectives emerging from the wars triggered by October 7. “Life in Melbourne, absolutely, was very good,” she says from her living room. But after October 7, 2023, she and her family began to notice “the changes”, as she calls them. The subtle hostility. The growing discomfort with displaying one’s Jewish identity.

They loved Australia and thought about staying for good. And yet – and this is the part we need to understand – they felt a compulsion to return to Israel, to a country in the midst of a catastrophic war. There were many reasons, of course – lifestyle and work opportunities chief among them – but the essence of it all is that her family, somehow, felt safer and stronger here. Let’s be as clear as possible: a quiet but profound shift in the global Jewish consciousness appears to be taking place, one that appears to be reshaping Israel, its diaspora, and which is driven by numerous converging forces that define this moment. The first is paradoxical. 

Australians are driving the cohort that is: their numbers are up 23 per cent, according to the Israel Aliyah Centre, and 87 per cent of the ­emigres are young adults aged ­between 18 and 34.

These aren’t refugees. They’re millennials and Gen Z professionals making a bet about where they can live as fully expressed Jews in the 21st century. Americans are doing the same. So are the British, the Canadians, the French. In other words, citizens from countries where government policy or civil discourse has been hostile enough to Israel or the local Jewish community. Hillel Weinstein, a former university student in Melbourne who moved to Israel last year, puts it bluntly: “I’d see encampments and huge signs saying ‘Free Palestine’ all over university property. I’m like, if this is where I’m studying, this is not a place that I want to be at.” Here, he walks the streets feeling “as safe as I’ve ever been. A lot of people have moved from around the globe to Israel, especially because they just don’t feel safe where they are”. Consider the irony for a moment. Young Jews are fleeing ostensibly peaceful Western ­democracies for a country that just fought a multi-front war and endured the sight of buildings being toppled by Iranian hypersonic missiles, because they feel more secure walking the streets of Tel Aviv than Brunswick or Newtown.

This is just another proof that Biblical end times prophecies can be trusted and that God is control of history.

PARENTAL RIGHTS, FREE SPEECH, BIOLOGICAL REALITY AND BIBLICAL PROPHECY

Posted on by

FamilyVoice Australia has expressed deep concern over the New South Wales Government’s plan to develop the state’s first LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Strategy, describing it as another step toward enforcing radical gender ideology across every level of government and public life.

“The government claims this strategy will make communities stronger and more connected,” said Graeme Mitchell, Family Voice NSW State Director. Which only shows that we have a government that does not believe in God or the Bible He has given us.

“In reality, it risks dividing people, silencing dissent, and undermining the rights of parents, teachers, faith communities, and especially children who hold to traditional beliefs about sex and gender.”

Mr Mitchell warned that the proposed ‘whole-of-government approach’ would likely embed gender ideology into schools, health services, and public policy, marginalising anyone who does not affirm these beliefs.

“Under the banner of ‘inclusion‘, this strategy could exclude people of faith, remove protections for women’s spaces, and pressure schools to promote harmful messages about gender identity,” he said.

“What NSW needs is truth and respect for biological reality, not policies that confuse children and punish those who speak up.”

FamilyVoice is calling on the NSW Government to withdraw the proposed strategy and instead promote genuine inclusion by protecting free speech, religious freedom, and parental rights.

Fortunately, God has revealed in His word, the Bible, that what we see unfolding in the world is exactly what would happen prior to Jesus return first to rapture His Saints before God pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world and to rescue the nation He established for His purposes, Israel at the battle of Armageddon. Then Jesus and the glorified Saints will begin to rule and reign the nations of this earth for 1,000 years. The Bible is full of prophecies about Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom. You can go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net to discover what they are so you can prepare for what is next on God’s agenda for planet earth.

ISRAEL’S FUTURE: THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

Posted on by

“Jacob’s Trouble” (also called “the time of Jacob’s trouble”) is a specific biblical phrase found in Jeremiah 30:7:

“Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” (NKJV)

Biblical Context

The entire chapter of Jeremiah 30 is a prophecy of hope given to Israel and Judah during their exile in Babylon. God promises:

  • To restore them from captivity
  • To break the yoke of foreign oppression
  • To bring them back to their land under their own king (ultimately fulfilled in the Messiah)
  • To heal and prosper them again

However, before this full restoration comes, Israel (referred to here as “Jacob,” using the patriarch’s original name) will go through an unprecedented period of suffering and distress.

Key Characteristics of “Jacob’s Trouble”

  1. Uniqueness and Severity
    • “That day is great, so that none is like it” (Jeremiah 30:7) – it is unparalleled in history.
    • Jesus quotes similar language in the Olivet Discourse: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21), linking the two passages.
  2. Focused on Israel/Jacob
    • The trouble is specifically called “Jacob’s” (not the church’s or the world’s in general), indicating it primarily affects the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
    • Other Old Testament passages describe the same period using different names:
      • “The indignation” (Isaiah 26:20; Daniel 11:36)
      • “The time of trouble” (Daniel 12:1)
      • “The day of the Lord”
      • “The seventieth week of Daniel” (Daniel 9:27)
      • “The great tribulation” (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14)
  3. Deliverance at the End
    • Jeremiah 30:7 ends with hope: “…but he [Jacob/Israel] shall be saved out of it.”
    • Daniel 12:1 says Michael the archangel will stand up for Israel, and “at that time your people shall be delivered.”
    • Zechariah 13–14 and Romans 11:25–29 describe Israel’s national repentance and acceptance of the Messiah at the end of this period.

In short, “Jacob’s Trouble” is widely understood in prophetic studies as the Bible’s term for an unparalleled future time of distress centred on the Jewish people, out of which God will ultimately deliver and restore a repentant Israel when the Messiah returns and establishes His Millennial Kingdom

The Bible reveals this Earth’s history is young, not billions of years old as the theory of evolution would lead us to believe. Despite there being billions of dead things buried whole throughout the world, which must have been buried quickly to be whole, as well, enormous amounts of fossil fuels formed from buried vegetation, the scientists of the world deny the Biblical flood of Noah’s day, because it does not align with their naturalist view of the world forming itself over billions of years. The Bible reveals that Noah’s flood was a catastrophic event that changed the entire geomorphology of the planet.

Biblical history reveals that Satan has had 6,000 years to rule over the Earth. Jesus will soon have 1,000 years to rule and reign with the glorified Saints, Satan and I assume his demons are bound during Jesus reign

“And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.” Revelation 20:2-3

Nevertheless, we are told Jesus and the Saints rule with a rod of iron during the Millennium as the curse is only partially lifted, mainly in Israel, so people are still being born, still sin, and die. Moreover, at the end of the Millennium, Satan is released and he still raises an army like the sand of the sea.

“And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them.” Revelation 20:7-9

Even with Jesus and the glorified Saints being on earth people will still rebel and like Satan and the demons will want to be God of their world. For more on Jesus Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

Finally, after 7,000 years, this Earth’s history is complete and God destroys the Earth with fire, The second resurrection of the dead takes place before Jesus White Throne judgement. Only after the White Throne judgement does the apostle John see a magnificent and enormous new Jerusalem descending from a new heaven onto a new earth where only the righteous dwell with both our heavenly Father and Jesus.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BEAST OF REVELATION

Scripture reveals the Beast’s name, homeland, and where he is right now. Watch Nelson Walters video and learn the exact texts where the Bible has hidden this knowledge. This video was produced by Clarence Abbey of Nelson’s video team; and author of the Battle for Zion: The Coming of the King. It uncovers the prophetic timeline hidden across Scripture—from Daniel’s visions to Revelation’s warnings. This book explores the rise of the final empire, the ten kings of the end times, and the war that will surround Jerusalem. Through a layered study of Old and New Testament prophecies, it reveals how ancient texts are pointing to events unfolding today. Deep, bold, and thought-provoking. It is a timely call to understand the times, strengthen your faith, and prepare for the return of the King.

You need to prepare now to rule and reign with Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom. It is a transition period when God fulfils the covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David about the nation He established for His purposes. Jesus will rule the nations of this world from a transformed new Jerusalem and the glorified Saints will rule with Him. As the curse is only partially lifted people will still be being born, still sinning and dying so Jesus and the Saints will rule with a rod of iron.

“The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron,” Revelation 2:26-27

WHO ARE SAVED AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?

Posted on by

In John 14:6, Jesus declares, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” This message explores the exclusive claim of Christ against the backdrop of world religions and modern pluralism. Every faith system—Islam, Mormonism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism—offers a different path to salvation, yet Scripture makes clear there is only one way to the Father. Through this passage, we see: • Jesus as the Way — the bridge between sinful humanity and a holy God. • Jesus as the Truth — the full revelation of who God is and what is real. • Jesus as the Life — the only source of spiritual life and eternal assurance. This sermon exposes the insufficiency of man’s religion and the finality of Christ’s work on the cross. There are not many ways to God—there is one, and His name is Jesus.

If you want to serve with Jesus in His coming Millennial Kingdom, first you will need to be an overcomer during the coming tribulation when Christians will be persecuted for their faith in Jesus.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24: 9-13

Then, Saints will be raptured at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal, prior to God pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. The wrath of God lasts one year and ten days the same time God poured out His wrath the first time during the flood of Noah’s day. Why one year and ten days? The year before a Jubilee year is one year and ten days long. The year following Jesus return to Earth will be a Jubilee year to start Jesus Millennial reign on Earth with the glorified Saints.

NUCLEAR FUSION WILL POWER THE WORLD

Posted on by

Germany Just Built a Machine That Could Power the Entire Planet Forever

This machine looks like a twisted sculpture from a sci-fi movie, but it has shaken the entire energy industry. Scientists in Germany have achieved something that was thought impossible: they kept superheated plasma stable for eight minutes straight. Why does that matter? Because stable plasma is the key to fusion energy, the same power source that fuels the sun. If we can control it, we unlock unlimited clean energy that never runs out. For decades, the world has been chasing this dream. Most countries bet on one approach and poured billions into it. But Germany quietly took a different path. Now the world is finally paying attention.

No doubt Nuclear Fusion will be one way Jesus will power the world during His Millennial reign. Watch this video and see the multitude of benefits of nuclear fusion. Fusion Reactors most likely, Stellarators is the way to power the world.

AMERICA’S FUTURE FORETOLD

Posted on by

Jonathan Cahn shares a prophetic message – where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading. The prophetic warning embedded in America’s foundation: the mystery of Parasha, the secret of Winthrop’s Island, and where it is all heading.

The “mystery of Parasha” is the deliberate non-chronological placement in the Torah of the Mishkan/Tabernacle sections before the Golden Calf narrative, teaching that in the Torah’s deepest dimension, the eternal purpose and the remedy come before the historical events and the illness. This idea has become a cornerstone of Chassidic Torah philosophy about the primacy of the spiritual ideal over historical sequence.

The video demonstrates that we are in the Biblical prophesied end times when Jesus will return to rescue the nation God established for His purposes, Israel. Jesus will fulfil Israel’s destiny when He reigns as king over all the earth from a completely rebuilt Jerusalem on the highest mountain on a reconstructed earth.

We are about to enter the time of Jesus Millennial Kingdom with Jesus and the glorified Saints ruling the earth with a rod of iron. The curse is partially lifted off the earth but people are still being born, sinning and dying which is why during Jesus Millennial reign, Jesus and the Saints need to rule with a rod of iron.

KEY FEATURES OF JESUS SOON COMING MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

Posted on by

Key Features of the Millennial Economy

  1. All land and resources ultimately belong to the King (Jesus)
    • Ezekiel 45–48 describes a massive redistribution of land in Israel during the Millennium, divided among the twelve tribes and with a large sacred portion reserved for the Prince.
    • Psalm 2:8 and Revelation 11:15 make clear that Christ rules the nations with absolute sovereignty. Private ownership exists, but it is under the direct lordship of Christ, similar to ancient Israel’s theocratic land system (Leviticus 25) where God was the ultimate owner and land could not be permanently sold.
  2. Private property and inheritance continue
    • People still own houses, vineyards, and fields (Isaiah 65:21–22; Micah 4:4 — “they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree”).
    • Inheritance laws and family lines remain important (Ezekiel 46:16–18).
  3. Free enterprise and trade exist
    • Zechariah 14:16–21 describes Gentile nations bringing offerings and trade goods to Jerusalem yearly.
    • Zechariah 8:4–5 and Isaiah 60 picture bustling cities with normal commerce, markets, and productivity.
  4. No oppression or extreme poverty
    • Isaiah 65:21–23 says people will enjoy the fruit of their labour—no more building for someone else to live in or planting for others to eat (a direct reversal of the curse).
    • Perfect justice in courts (Isaiah 11:3–5) eliminates exploitation, fraud, and monopolies that distort modern capitalism.
  5. Abundance on the ground
    • Amos 9:13–15, Isaiah 35, and Romans 8:19–22 describe dramatically increased agricultural yields (“the plowman shall overtake the reaper”). Nature itself is partially released from the curse, making production extraordinarily efficient. The Bible does not teach that the curse is entirely lifted off the cosmos. The fullest expression of the “peaceful kingdom” (carnivore/herbivore harmony, little child leading wild animals, etc.) is repeatedly tied to the land of Israel and specifically to “My holy mountain” (Jerusalem and its environs). Isaiah 11:6–9 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb… And a little child shall lead them… They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” → Verse 9 explicitly restricts the “not hurt nor destroy” zone to “all My holy mountain” (the kingdom territory centred in Jerusalem). Isaiah 65:25 (the parallel passage) “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox… They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says the LORD.”
  6. A central temple-based taxation/tribute system
    • Ezekiel 45–46 details obligatory offerings, tithes, and feasts funded by the people and the Prince. This looks more like a theocratic tithe/redistribution system than pure laissez-faire capitalism.
  7. No inflation or monetary instability
    • Some premillennial interpreters (especially from older dispensationalist writings) suggest a return to honest weights and measures and possibly precious-metal currency, though the Bible does not specify the medium of exchange.

So is it “capitalism”?

  • Yes, in the sense of: private property, personal incentive to work, ability to enjoy the fruits of your labour, trade, and entrepreneurship.
  • No, in the sense of: unregulated markets, profit-as-the-highest-good, debt-based finance, corporate monopolies, or the modern separation of economics from morality and divine law. It is capitalism subordinated to perfect theocratic justice and the personal rule of Christ.

A helpful way to describe it is theocratic free enterprise or kingdom capitalism—private ownership and market-like activity, but under the direct, righteous rule of Jesus, with no possibility of systemic injustice, exploitation, or greed-driven excess.

In short: It will look a lot more like the freest, most prosperous, and most moral version of capitalism you could imagine, but with Christ Himself as the ultimate CEO and Judge who owns everything and enforces perfect equity. Check out http://www.millennialkingdom.net
