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

GOD IS ABOUT TO HUMBLE AND JUDGE THE WORLD

Posted on by

Bodo Hoenen is a relative new Christian coming from a high level scientific and engineering background. Listen to how he wrestles with the question as to “why there are no clear answers” to many Biblical questions. Moreover, I believe he is right to conclude that God is about to humble and judge the world.

God is using this new Christian to show how much the traditional, institutional churches have departed from the truth of God’s Word, thereby helping many Christians in these churches.

The second video is a great presentation of the gospel message which I will send on to people I know who are open and even searching for truth about the big questions of life. I suggest you do the same.

Bodo shares a deeply personal message, recounting a vivid vision of eternity and a consequential choice. The video explores this vision through introspective reflection and scientific analysis. Prepare for a thought provoking journey into existential question, as well as hear a great presentation of the Gospel message.

HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE

Posted on by

In these two scriptures, in Romans and Philippians, Paul tells us how to live so that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:4-8

“Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Romans 4:4-8

This is so important for the time we live in. Jesus told us that we can expect tribulation and then great tribulation prior to Jesus coming first to rescue the Saints before God pours out His wrath upon the unrepentant.

Tribulation and martyrdom ahead for Christians

“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them… “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:3, 9-12

Sadly, we learn that many will fall away, and the love of many will grow cold when the tribulation comes. Make sure you are not amongst this group who will face the wrath of God.

The rapture happens and the wrath of God is poured out at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal

“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:15-17

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Next, Jesus returns with the Saints to rescue Israel at the battle of Armageddon and then initiate His Millennial reign with the glorified Saints. Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more on what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth.

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.

JESUS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM IS COMING SOON

Posted on by

What will it be like? In Ezekiel we are given a lot of detail on Jesus Millennial Temple where Jesus will sit on a magnificent throne during His millennial reign on this Earth.

In 1 Kings, we get a glimpse of the magnificence of Solomon’s palace. God established Solomon as the greatest king that has ever lived. The Queen of Sheba’s reaction gives a glimpse.

“And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more breath in her.
And she said to the king, “The report was true that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom, but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I heard. Happy are your men! Happy are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel!” 1 Kings 10:4-9

If the Queen of Sheba was left without breath before Solomon, what will it be like when you stand before the greater than Solomon, King Jesus?  Imagine meeting the One “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:3).

This reality is not too far distant. There are many Biblical end times prophecies of Jesus second coming and Jesus Millennial Kingdom (2000). Many of them are playing our in our day so you need to get prepared to meet Jesus. If you want more information on Jesus soon coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net.

$12 BILLION JOB MASSACRE: AMAZON’S ROBOT ARMY WILL REPLACE 600,000 WORKERS

Posted on by

A silent revolution is unfolding inside Amazon—and it’s far more than a warehouse upgrade. Leaked internal documents reveal that the company plans to automate up to 75% of its operations by 2033, using robots like Cardinal, Blue Jay, Sparrow, and Robin to replace what would have been over 600,000 human jobs. The implications stretch across every sector of the American economy. In this video, you’ll uncover how Amazon’s robotic workforce is reshaping the meaning of employment, why businesses are prioritizing efficiency over labour, and what kinds of skills—and investments—will actually survive the coming automation wave. From AI-driven logistics to the rise of collaborative robotics, this isn’t science fiction; it’s the new economic reality unfolding in real time. You’ll also learn how artificial intelligence has accelerated Amazon’s transformation, why other corporations are preparing to follow, and what steps individuals can take to protect their financial and professional futures. The question isn’t if automation will replace jobs—it’s how fast it will happen, and who will be prepared when it does.

This is not only happening at Amazon, UPS has disclosed about 48,000 job cuts this year.

Governments that have rejected God have already descended into chaos on all fronts so this move by companies to shed jobs will only further heighten the mayhem. There is only one answer to the problem and that has been revealed to us in God’s Word. Jesus returns as king first to rescue His Saints and then to pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements of Revelation 8 & 16. The battle of Armageddon follows and then Jesus sets up His Millennial Kingdom. To prepare for Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net

WAR ON FREE SPEECH INTENSIFIES IN AUSTRALIA

Posted on by

When speech becomes a crime, democracy dies, and Australia just took that dangerous step.

  • The government recently introduced new hate speech laws that are overly broad and vague, posing a major threat to free speech.
  • These laws lower the threshold for criminal liability, allowing prosecution based on what authorities think someone’s words might cause rather than intent to harm.
  • Everyday Australians risk being criminalised for expressing unpopular political, cultural, or religious opinions.
  • Similar laws in the UK have led to arrests over trivial speech, creating a climate of fear and self-censorship.
  • The bill was rushed through the Senate with minimal debate, undermining democratic scrutiny — Few voted against it as anti-free speech and anti-Australian.

That old political maxim, ‘Never let a good crisis go to waste…’ comes to mind when considering the government’s restrictions on free speech.

Antisemitism has been at crisis levels in this country for two years.

But rather than use existing laws against incitement to crack down on the problem, the government recently created new laws that are so broad, and so vague, that they will create far more problems than they solve.

These new laws are not a solution to hate; they are an attack on the free speech of ordinary Australians.

Lower Threshold for Harm

These laws may well punish radical extremists, but they will also capture everyday Australians, who could be criminalised for no more than casually expressing unpopular political or religious views.

The new laws lower the threshold for hate speech to such an extent that a person could be criminalised for what authorities decide their words might lead to.

Instead of proving that a person meant to cause harm with their words, the laws mean that authorities would only need to prove that a person’s words could have caused harm.

As sure as night follows day, these new laws will be weaponised by activists to go after people they disagree with.

If you dare to say there are only two genders, you could run the risk of being accused of harming trans people and run the risk of criminalisation.

If you dare to say some particular religions are not compatible with Australian culture, you could run the risk of being prosecuted for stirring up hatred.

If you dare to say that unchecked immigration from this region, or that, is ruining the country, you will run the risk of being pursued for inciting hate.

The result is that people will start self-censoring their own words and thoughts. How can we tolerate such a situation? If Australians are not free to say what they truly think, then in what sense are Australians free?

Chilling Effect

Worse, people could be arrested for innocuous social media posts or opinions expressed over a beer at the pub.

This is not an exaggeration. This is exactly what we are seeing in the United Kingdom, where similar laws were passed and are now used to make life a living hell for good people expressing unpopular views.

It is outrageous that Senators were given just one hour to debate these laws. That one of the most consequential bills to come before this House is rushed through in such a fashion is disgraceful.

The Senate is supposed to be a house of review. It has instead become a house of approval.

Rather than being stacked with party-aligned rubber-stampers who simply vote for bills along party lines, the Senate needs to be reconfigured so that independent members give genuine consideration to proposed bills.

That is not what is happening here; the system is entirely broken. The free speech of Australians is now greatly diminished as a result of this badly written and ill-considered law, which was waved through the Senate by members who are more concerned about lunch than about the consequences.

This is a bad law. It is anti-free speech and anti-Australian but it fits exactly with the Biblical end times prophesies about Jesus second coming this time as king to restore righteousness and usher in His Millennial Kingdom.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE EVIDENCE FOR A GLOBAL FLOOD

Posted on by

 Using the Bible, well-documented historical events, and some math, we find that the Flood began  approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 2348 BC. Genesis teaches it; Jesus and the apostles confirmed it. It also explains most of the rocks and fossils and obliterates billions of years. Without millions of years , evolution is impossible – not that it is possible if millions of years were granted. We should therefore be prepared to defend a global flood along with the rest of the faith, as well as refute arguments against it.

“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.” 1 Peter 3:14-16

“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.” 2 Corinthians 9:5-6

The evidence for the global flood of Noah’s day is extensive and it can be found on two websites http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org.

The world must reject Noah’s flood as it destroys evolution which is their attempt to explain away the Cosmos without God. Noah’s flood also proves that God judged the world and destroyed all but the eight people on the ark God instructed Noah to make. Who wants to believe their creator would do that? Evolution has been one of Satan’s most effective ploys to deceive mankind into rejecting God.

What about now? Both Jesus and Peter told us that people will reject the true history of the world including Noah’s flood at the time before Jesus returns to Earth to rescue His Saints and God pours out His wrath a second time on an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all... so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:26-27,30

“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:38-39

In Peter’s second letter, he prophecies about future scoffers following their own sinful desires and denying Christ’s return. They “deliberately overlook” two foundational truths. The first was God created the world out of water and the second was the global flood of Noah’s day.

“Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.” 2 Peter 3:3-6

Jesus returns on the clouds with the angels to gather the Saints, first the resurrected Saints and then those alive on Earth. “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.” Revelation 1:7

God then pours out His wrath upon the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. It so happens that His judgement last one year and ten days exactly the same time as God poured out His wrath the fist time with Noah’s flood. Why one year and ten days? When Jesus returns it will be a Jubilee year and the year before a Jubilee year is always one year and ten days.

HUNDREDS OF QUAKES SHAKE THE MIDWEST: AMERICA’S “BIG ONE”?

Posted on by

Over 200 earthquakes have been recorded across the New Madrid Seismic Zone, shaking the heart of America’s Midwest and reigniting fears of another massive earthquake beneath the Mississippi River Valley. Scientists are warning that the New Madrid Fault Line—responsible for the catastrophic 1811–1812 earthquakes—is showing renewed signs of movement. These were some of the most powerful quakes in U.S. history, strong enough to make the Mississippi River flow backward, ring church bells in Boston, and permanently alter the landscape. Now, modern sensors are detecting ground deformation, microquakes, and crustal stress building once again beneath Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky—a dangerous reminder that this ancient fault is far from silent. If a major earthquake were to strike the New Madrid Fault today, experts warn that cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and Little Rock could face devastating consequences. Unlike California, much of the Midwestern United States is not built for seismic activity. Fragile infrastructure, unreinforced brick buildings, aging pipelines, and critical bridges across the Mississippi River would be at risk of collapse. A magnitude 7.5 or higher earthquake could cripple transportation, destroy power and water systems, and leave millions displaced. Some scientists estimate that a modern-day New Madrid quake could cause over $300 billion in damage, rivalling the worst natural disasters in American history. In this documentary, we uncover the science behind the New Madrid Seismic Zone, the geological mysteries that make it so unpredictable, and the warning signs that suggest another megaquake could be close. From historic records to cutting-edge USGS data and GPS monitoring, we break down how pressure builds deep underground and why it could unleash another Midwest megaquake in our lifetime. Could America’s “Big One” strike not along the San Andreas Fault, but right in the middle of the country? However, almost half of California’s faults — including San Andreas — are overdue for earthquakes The San Andreas Fault is the longest fault in California, stretching about 746 miles (1,200 kilometres) from the state’s south at the Salton Sea to its north off the coast of Mendocino. The evidence may be more alarming than anyone realizes. Also, it fits with Jesus end times warning of increased volcanic activity as well as famines and pestilences.

“There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” Luke 21:11

DEMOCRATS SUE TO FORCE TAXPAYERS TO SUBSIDIZE GENDER IDEOLOGY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Posted on by

A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general is fighting to continue taxpayer subsidies for public schools to teach gender ideology in sex education classes. The coalition is led by Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and includes 16 states and the District of Columbia. The complaint was filed on Friday in the U.S. District Court in Oregon.

A spiritual battle is raging in the USA. Considering that most of the denominational churches have compromised with the world on gay marriage, homosexuality and transgenderism and few Christians hold to a Biblical worldview (Barna survey, 6%) it is difficult to see how this will be turned around despite the positive signs following Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Apostasy in the church is one of the major end times signs as God purifies His church before the rapture of His Saints and God’s judgement is poured out on an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements of Revelation.

TRUMPET JUDGEMENTS

“Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.” Revelation 8:6-7

BOWL JUDGEMENTS

“Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.” Revelation 16:1-2
