Key Events
17 October 2013 - 20 June 2015
17/10/13, “$ US would remain the world’s reserve currency for ‘a long time’", according to Gabriel Maklouf, New Zealand-based economist. Another commentator said “recent debt level dramas in Washington DC are ‘near death experiences’. The actors in that drama are “playing Russian Roulette with the US and International economy”, and, “Investors are getting sick of it”.
18/11/13, “Nation states powerless against Climate Change”. Comment from a discussion on a radio programme. The discussion, or another following on, noted that “Horse trading pollutants was no longer a viable option when the human species itself is at risk. In horse trading, the horse dies”.
5/12/13, “Genocide in the Central African Republic (CAR)”.  Stated in a radio news broadcast. The CAR is in the heart of Cush which is now in turmoil as Ezekiel 38 implies.
6/12/13, “Get ready for the Big One”. Newspaper headline in New Zealand concerning the dangers of the fault-line under the Southern Alps mountain chain.
20/12/13, “Seven Eighths of computer projects fail”, according to New Zealand’s Department of Internal Affairs. Our ‘Model’ suggests we are entering the final stage of the era of mankind. He has been ruling the creation on this planet under Satan’s inevitable and temporary suzerainty. Satan’s overlordship became “inevitable” after Adam and Eve partook of the touch-tronic computer embedded in a tree in the Garden of Eden. From this perspective, it is very interesting to see how badly computer systems often perform.  It's even more interesting to get such a statement from an authoritative expert.
However, to be fair to computer engineers, systems programmers etc., these projects tend to under-budget in planning stages because all the needs and requirements are never properly accounted for in earlier planning meetings.  One area where computerised systems have delivered almost faultless or impeccable performance;  at least as far as we experience them anyway;  is in air travel and in other forms of travel such as by rail or bus. But that in itself tends just to reinforce yet another prophecy in Daniel 12:4. That verse explains that the Last of the Last Days (c.f., Hebrews 1:2) will be characterised by much travel concomitant with a knowledge explosion or acceleration. That ‘acceleration’ is nowhere better seen than in the field of computing and the race from supercomputer to masses (especially Eve’s don’t-listen-to-Mum daughters on their 'smart-phones) wandering around holding Star Trek-like hand devices with the computing power of a small super-computer.  It all shows, though, that the system is getting more and more complex and is beginning to over-burden Mankind as God implied it would.
20/12/13, “We can map the Milky Way like never before”. Words of Mr Tariq Malik, editor of a journal entitled Space.com. Note the name which can mean “King of Tyre” or “Amalekite of Tyre”.  Either way, Ezekiel gave Satan the title “King of Tyre” and the Amalekites (‘evil-shepherds’*) were the closest to a nation that Satan got to having as a ‘people of his name’ in the manner of ‘Good Shepherd’ God calling a people for His Name: “Israel” or Isra-El is that name.  It will be Satan who has the most investment in destroying the Jews as per Jeremiah 31:37 (refer also 29/5/14, 30/3/15 and 2/4/15). So the editor of this magazine has a highly appropriate name for the article he wrote. [* Psalm 78:49 makes a play on words in mishlakhat malakei roim to read either as “shepherd kings” or “evil angels” or more literally “angels of evils”, c.f., Velikovsky].
1/1/14, “Janet Yellin takes over as first ever Chairwoman of Federal Reserve Board”. This comes on the heels of another unusual or surprising appointment, i.e., of Christine La Garde who became Chairwoman of the IMF* a year or so previously.  They join Angela Merkel, a woman at the helm of the richest Government Treasury outside the oil producers and China. Although Germany’s reserves of gold may be worth something that China’s holdings of US dollars may well not come anywhere near equalling when the financial system dumps the US Dollar (former Austrian-Hapsburg ‘Thaler’). All this may be a precursor to Zechariah 5:6-11 and the two women thereof.  If we take the ephah in that prophecy to already have a woman holding the balances or scales (c.f., the example in the HSBC Tower on Lambton Quay in Wellington) then there are perhaps three women envisaged in the prophesied event.  However, if just two are involved, then Yellin and La Garde would seem to look like ideal candidates. Of course another well known woman may yet lie in the wings, i.e., Hillary Clinton if she wins the US Presidency though that position increasingly seems impotent these days.
Addendum
Mrs La Garde came into her position after Dominique Strauss-Kahn was found guilty of sexually accosting a maid in his New York Hotel. In France, he was in trouble for other sexual misdemeanours. He is known for a predilection to have a sexual relationship with a mother and then her daughter. This is seen as a sort of macho challenge in the circles that Strauss-Kahn et al swim in. The author had a friend who attended the same highclass economic circles and got inolved with this circuit. Later he bacame a homosexual after he tired of the delights of heterosexual offerings. The mother of the putative antichrist-child we are observing rose to the same challenge that Strauss-Kahn aspired to except that, obviously, she reportedly did this with two men in a sort of vice versa parallel challenge. So we are dealing with highly perverted sexual monsters - both men and women - in these things just as in the days of the Nephilim in the days of Noah before the Flood.
Furthermore, the Fatuously False Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception requires both the mother and daughter, the latter who actually bears the Christ-child, to conceive through the Holy Ghost (Spirit). The source of this doctrine can be none other than Satan himself. Thus it suggests that is the manner in which Satan might ultimately sire his antichrist-child. In this way, using the ‘Immaculate Conception, Roman Catholics will be brought up to accept the Antichrist. Satan will, under this model, if he has not already done so, sire a daughter through one woman then the antichrist-child through that daughter (of his in effect). In the putative case we are watching and studying, there is actually reported evidence that the mother of the antichrist-child is of herself of uncertain paternal parentage.
It is the view of Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum that we take the stance here that the Antichrist has to be sired from a Roman woman by Satan. Though the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 does seem to strongly imply this and it is the traditional understanding of the prophecy.  However, there is a possibility that the Antichrist child could be conceived as a result of several IVF or modern genetic interventions such as removing the mitochondria from the egg of one woman and replacing it with the healthier version from another woman.  Swapping mitochondria, in effect, gives a child three parents - two womn and one man - in its parentage.
21/1/14, Crossword Clue, ‘Baptism Sponsor’; Answer, “Godparent”.  Another example of the theological mess the world now finds itself in. Baptism is an outward show, manifestation or even ‘sign’ of an inward response to the Calling of God through the Saving Power of Jesus of Nazareth’s Death, Burial and Resurrection. The only practical way to symbolise this is with a full immersion of one’s body in water.
Furthermore the person does this with the heart, soul and mind comprehending (though perhaps initially in a child-like or immature comprehension) the reason for the physical demonstration of the (Water-Aspect-) Baptism. The event of the ‘circumcision of the heart’ or the ‘being born again’ (‘born from Above’) that “Flesh and Blood” cannot do but “Only My Father in Heaven”, according to Jesus of Nazareth, renders it impossible for someone on earth to “sponsor” a Baptism. Such Christendomite rituals also make a mockery of true Believer's Baptism by resorting to the practice of water-sprinkling of almost-mindless infants who more often than not demonstrate almost heartlessness when irritably kicking Mum in the womb then greedily sucking at her breast in the days of infancy.
22/1/14, “Arrested Taggers in Deraa (Tyre) spark Catastrophe in Syria”. That was the claim by Senator John Kerry the US Secretary of State at the Geneva II Conference at Montreux where there was an attempt to resolve the Syrian Crisis. They tried to get the warring parties, Government and opposition rebels, around a conference-table. The project abysmally failed. According to Kerry, Assad’s troops arrested the kids [Postscript July, 2017: who were then tortured according to a later report].  That prompted an aggressive counter-reaction. Obviously the tinder of conflict had long been dried by repression by the Father-and-son Assad regime. Old man Hafez Assad slaughtered 30,000 Syrians when he put down an uprising a few decades previously.  However, the younger Assad, Bash-ir, has belted the living daylights out of that record achieving some 200,000 deaths by May 2015 in a conflict entering its fifth year in 2015.
According to a rebel leader, it was the slaying of a young girl by a Government tank that set off the disturbance.  Our conclusion, based on the nonsense we put up with at the 2 Dixon Street Toilets in Wellington, NZ, is that Assad had every right to arrest the taggers described as “Graffiti” writers by Secretary Kerry. All rather ironic and perhaps an eye-opener into just how badly out of touch the Senator and virtually most politicians and advisers are. Taggers are not “Graffiti Writers”. They are Urban Terrorists.  [Postscript, July 2017:  later described as anti-government slogans and graffiti].
26/1/14, “Egyptians are fighting one another”. Statement from news item about Egyptians turning on each other in the wake of the overthrow of Mr Mubarak.  There was also anger at his trial and imprisonment and subsequent release with minor verdict.  Then the Mohammad Morsi election was soon overturned by an army Coup led by General Sisi.   In May 2015, Mubarak was sentenced to three years in jail but he had spent that time there already so they released him. Morsi got twenty years. (C.f., Isaiah 19:2, Zohar Chadash, Bereshit Rabbah, Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:10 and viz., II Chronicles 15:6, II Chronicles 20:22-3).
1/2/14, Tarshish’s Rampart Lion and Ephah on Tunisian National Coat of Arms.  Noticed on a film clip concerning the Tunisian Parliament reforming itself and the national constitution following the beginning of the “Arab Spring” that has turned into a Middle East Nightmare. Tunisia has come through its troubles relatively successfully and unscathed.  It has entered what might perhaps be described as a moderate summer by transforming its constitution etc., as we write in May 2015. Anyway, these symbols of the Lion and Ephah; the latter used for trade and/or Justice (true weights and measures, so necessary for good and fair trade); are those of Tarshish and her Young Lions.  What eventually concludes for Tunisia, the home of ancient Carthage of Puntisia (with silent ‘P’), is an open question for just now.  She may get subsumed into the hordes that join together to invade Israel in Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16.  Or, Tunisia will either remain in, or join; whichever the case may be; the Tarshish Camp (NATO). In the latter case, would Tunisia be a Mother Country or a Young Lion?
3/2/14, “First built on seven hills.”  Not Rome but Kampala, Uganda. The news item went on to say the city then expanded well beyond those “seven hills”.  Bible commentators frequently misrepresent the Bible’s statement in Revelation17:9, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits (or sat)”.  It is obvious from the surrounding verses and from Biblical imagery elsewhere that the mountains or hills are sequential not contemporaneous and they represent nations, kingdoms or empires at different stages of world history.  Rome is said to be built on seven hills.  The same could even be said of London though no one ever does as far as this writer is aware. This statement about Kampala shows just how much the world is fascinated by the Biblical statement. No doubt, at some stage in its development, Kampala occupied just seven of the surrounding hills (we are not told how many there are). But for much of its existence, Kampala either was built on less than or more than “seven” hills.  Perhaps it was on just seven hills when Punch Magazine’s Kampala correspondent ruled there! (The late Mr Idi Amin). Whatever, this is typical of the vast swathe of cult-like or traditionalist stuff that surrounds Christendom’s interpretation of the Bible. Too few Bereans, unfortunately, are around to correct these misrepresentations.
4/2/14, In “Sins of the Fathers and Mothers”.  This newspaper article said scientists have discovered that “genetic material carried by chromosomes in human reproduction and handed down through generations can be affected by lifestyle”. (c.f., Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 5:9). This sounds like a return to Lamarckism and it shows just how vague and inconclusive the so-called Theory of Evolution really is. As we say elsewhere, “Evolution” can no longer be a ‘Theory’ because one of the cardinal principles that a Theory must have.  There must be some basis in observation. That no longer holds here because NASA and the European Space Agency are now both looking for evidence of the early stages of Evolution in the depths of outer space as Velikovsky, Hoyle and Wickramsingh posited decades ago. But the problem then becomes one of investigating “beyond the event horizons” we currently face. But that is not science. It is just an idea.
In a Creationist approach, we can show that the Creation hypothesis is justified by watching Israel which is a 'created' nation unlike all others which were merely formed or emerge over time.   What has happened to Israel (Past), is happening (e.g., The Six Day War, Psalm 83 in 1981, The Present) and will do in the near future as expressed in the Bible's Prophecies and in its Historical record, enable us to ay that our hypothesis is based on some observation.  The cosmologists try to justify evolution of the Universe on the basis of observation at the sub-atomic level.  We contend that is not a valid contention.  Thus Bible-based Creation can be held as Science whereas Evolutionism is merely just an Idea now.  
4/2/14, “Epigenesis takes place where Nature meets Nurture”. This is where the environment interacts with our genes to form a new type of “soft inheritance” and kind of short-lived adaptation to our current circumstances. The genes themselves remain the same but are turned up or down by chemical switches that sit above the genes controlling gene expression. The effect could be better or worse for the organism’s health. (Actually: Usually worse if this really is a “mutation” in other words. But that point conveniently was ignored in the article). The health status depends on which genes are affected and how environmental stimuli such as direct stress or pollutants seem capable of flicking these switches (on or off, or “up or down”, presumably). The amazing bit is that sometimes these switches are passed down to future generations even when the trigger is removed. It is the kind of result that brings to mind the Biblical Curse, “The sins of the Fathers will be visited on the children even until the third and fourth generation” (Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 5:9). It was either the researchers or the journalists, or perhaps both, who cross referenced the science with the Biblical statement. Though it was unclear what their motive was in doing this.
13/2/14, “If this is not an act of Creation, I do not know what is.” The words of an Indian doctor in a programme trailer on a TV station, c.f., 26/4/15, 19/6/15.
14/2/14, “Interviewing is my creative craft”. NZ Radio compare.
14/2/14, “We cannot know the truth so we must merge fact with fiction and myth".  Comment in interview with author (Catherine Mayo) of Murder in Mycenae. The book is a novel about Menelaus and Odysseus. The whole problem here centres on the false chronology that places the Trojan War Era with Mycenae in the “13th Century BC”. That is the date appearing on the opening line on the film Troy starring Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Sir Peter O’Toole, Julie Christie, Sean Beam. But the error emanates from the fact that both ancient societies, Troy and Mycenae, had trade and cultural links with ancient Egypt of the late 18th Dynasty (circa 1400 BC on the official chronology) to the end of the 19th Dynasty Egypt (circa 1200 BC officially). That era is wrongly dated by 500-600 years; i.e., that era is stated to have existed five or six centuries before it really existed. Troy fell to Agamemnon, Menelaus and Odysseus in circa 780 BC not 1300 BC.  Actually we can “know the truth”.  The separation of fact from fiction reminds us of Mr Dan Brown's comment in The Da Vinci Code, where he refers in a preface to "Fact, Fiction and Faction".
24/2/14, “End of the Russian Empire”, said a former Georgian Prime Minister (Mikhiel Saakashvili) travelling in Ukraine at the beginning of the crisis ensuing from Ukraine’s moves to lean toward NATO and EU membership or association.  Such re-alignment prompted Russia to re-take the Crimea then to support supposedly Russia-leaning separatist Ukrainians in East Ukraine along the border with Russia.  Meanwhile, see below, Russia is beginning to dissect Georgia (c.f., 9/4/14).  [Postscript, 13/5/16, subsequently learned that Mikhiel Saakashvili is now a Governor of a Ukrainian Province!]
26/2/14, “The Millennial Generation believes it possesses the Internet and its communications should be private”. Statement during a discussion about Edward Snowden’s revelations.
3/4/14, “People are not anti-religious, they are just not bothered.” Well known commentator talking about matters of religion in Britain. This is speaking of the British in the main. But it sounds like a perfect scenario for God to wake everyone up via Ezekiel 38:23, “Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD”.
5/4/14, “Time for a reality check in Middle East-Israel Peace Talks”. Senator John Kerry saying there seems little more the US can do in the face of obstacles to peace in the region.  Also a suggestion about this time that Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council perhaps try to get involved in a peace-making deal in the Israel-Palestine theatre.  In view of the GCC wariness of Iran and involvement in Yemen war in 2015 pitting the GCC against Iran via proxies it seems the ‘enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend’ stance is coming in to play. We can also view this as Tarshish slipping out of involvement, “Sheba abd Dedan” (a.k.a., GCC?) moving in but without the power and influence, supposedly, of the USA. More developments setting up for the Ezekiel 38:13 scenario.
6/4/14, “English runner #666 in Cross Sahara Marathon dons Devil Costume”.  This race tracked through Morocco and Algeria.  The event got publicity on international TV news. He chose this costume motif because the organisers allocated him Jersey #666.  Once again we see the world having an interest in 666 but for mostly the wrong and trivial reasons.  Meanwhile, churches are mostly silent on the issues rasied by the second part of the Prophecy of Genesis 3:15. The runner was doing this as a fund-raiser for MS-UK (multiple sclerosis).
6/4/14, “The Devil is in the Detail”. Comment during a discussion about a new Terrorism law in some western nations.
6/4/14, “Law being de-legitimised in Egypt.” The view of a commentator in a programme about Egypt. The comment came during a two-hour trial in Egypt where about 500 people were sentenced to death en masse.  At the same time, in Pakistan, a baby was taken to court for throwing stones at soldiers.  Meanwhile the three Qatari television journalists were in an Egyptian jail. With the Pakistani connection one could be forgiven for having some disdain for Islamic legal systems. At least ours’ are Jewish-based.
9/4/14, “Armenia allying with Russia to dismember parts of Georgia”. (Compare 24/2/14) Dr Fruchtenbaum believes Armenia may be Togormah of Ezekiel 38:6. Here, we will look at some background to suggest why these nations might want to join an invasion of Israel. Anyway, Armenia; an enigmatic cult-like nation-state-religion of Christendom with its ‘Quarter’-share of the Old City of Jerusalem; seems to be assisting Russia to hive-off Abkhazia and Ossetia as separate states from Georgia with its also-strange heritage in Christendom. ‘Russia’, ‘Armenia’ and ‘Georgia’ have three churches of the Eastern Orthodox persuasion. The tensions amongst these nations suggest they are yet to finish their version of the Thirty Years War. But their theological and religious divides seem likely to add to the mix when these nations rise up with Muslim states to crush or spoil Israel. Muslims have the problems of Sura XVII to contend with concerning Israel. Although not Muslim, these states also find the emergence of Israel as a major threat to their concept of the ‘Christ Kingdom’ (“Christendom”). Under this system of Theology, “The Kingdom of God” has now supposedly been given to another ‘nation’ i.e., a Gentile nation. Similar beliefs are found in Roman Catholicism and in some wings of Protestantism. Such belief-systems sometimes then go on to claim modern Jews are imposters. If those belief-systems do not go down that track they then tend to end-up without a rigorous explanation of, or for, Israel’s role in the modern world.
For example, they have no space to recognise that the Last Seven of Israel's 490 years of "The Times of the Gentiles" (Daniel 9:24-27) has been cut off from the other 483 (or 69 sevens) because of Israel's rejection of Jesus of Nazareth in AD 30.  The reason that Last Seven got cut off is because Israel did not respond positively to the Exodus 4:8 "Voice of the First Sign" (written as Aleph-Tav or  Alpha-Omega) or the raising of Lazarus with Jesus' Loud Voice calling him out of the grave.  So most theologians are unaware of this and they have been forthree and a half millennia since circa 1485 BC.  Therefore theologians do not realise that at long last Israel is being prepared for that Last Seven to take place in our near-future not in Damiel's nor in Israel's in AD 30.    We believe the “other nation” that Jesus referred to when He knew Israel was so against Him is a later generation of Israel.  Quite possibly this current generation of Israel, assuming it is the one that repents concerning Jesus of Nazareth’s Messiahship, will be the one Jesus targeted.   Russia’s interference in Georgia is related to former ethnic clean-ups of Muslims from the region.  As noted in 7/11/14, these regions seem to have hostile ethno-religious groups in abundance. This all adds heat to the problems surfacing in the countries of the Three Compass Points North, East and South of Israel.
9/4/14, “Tariq Kurdi, organiser of aid convoys in Syria”. The intriguing connection here lies in this man’s name.  It has an extremely interesting combination of “Tyre” and “Kurd”-Chaldean. 
Addendum
Before Tyre’s great ocean-going hegemony got into full swing, Babylon’s ships presumably plied the seas from the Persian Gulf between circa 2200-2000 BC or even earlier. If that is correct, Babylon’s prowess here (“Ships of Chittim”, c.f., Daniel 11:30, perhaps) declined as the exodus out of Babylon grew apace after the Tower of Babel circa 2000 BC. We assume that date on the basis of Abraham’s departure as a guide.  That exodus probably continued as a flow of people out of Babylon over the next millennium or so (e.g., 2200-1000 BC). The Biblical data about the Tower of Babel and subsequent migration patterns of the human family (with their domesticated livestock) is quite limited. Nevertheless, the information, even though sparse, provides us with critical keys to interpret our large database from archaeological research.  However, the key has to be used correctly.  A tiny key, simply needing the correct inverse coding in its little teeth to fit the obverse coding of the door lock is all that is needed to unlock the mightiest of doors to reveal massive treasures.
Eventually, we estimate between 1000-800 BC, a salinisation of the once-fertile soils oin Lower Iraq (Mesopotamia) enforced another, or second after the Tower of Babel, mass exodus out of Babylon.  Te latter great exodus out of Babylon  saw most of the rest of the HittiteChaldean population exit and Arabs then moved in. Although ther latter exodus was of a quite different generation from that which left after God thwarted the Tower of Babel’s construction.
As noted, after the last or perhaps second of these Chaldean-Hittite mass-migrations, Arabs entered Southern Iraq (Isaiah 13:20, 23:13). Thus, some settlers from Babylon-Sumer-Chaldea would have founded ports on the Lebanese Coast such as Ugarit, Tyre, Sidon and Byblos, and quite likely places like Troy.    These port-cities' developed their merchant and shipping services from their expertise drawn from plying the Persian Gulf.  Perhaps in the intervening period, putatively 2000-1000 BC, as Babylon waned Tyre and her sister cities grew to prominence.  They may have retained the label "ships of Hittim".  Furthermore, ancient Tyre established bases in the Persian Gulf, for example Sur in ancient Oman.
The ancient Lebanese maritime region to which those early Babylonian-Chaldean migrants presumably migrated later became known as what one might describe as The Phoenician Confederation. [NB: Other commentators use the term ‘Phoenician’ for Canaanites, the latter no doubt closely and commercially involved with the Lebanese port-cities.  Likewise, the Vatican erroneously refers to Middle East Christians as “Chaldeans” which is quite misleading although perhaps true for a few individuals nevertheless]. After papyrus-importer and paper-exporter Gebal-Bybos, contemporary with 5th, 11th and 12th Dynasty Egypt, Tyre eventually emerged as the most powerful and influential city-port-state.  Thus, we can say that in some ways Tyre inherited Babylon’s sea-links and sea-lanes. Or, one might say, “Tyre displaced Babylon” in that regard.  Whatever, in Ezekiel 28:12, the prophet indirecty links Babylon's roots in Satan's false religion with Ezekiel's reference to Satan as being the real influence behind the "king" or "prince" of Tyre.
The lands around ancient Babylon had become desert rendering servicing of ports impossible and presenting large intractable deserts between the ports on the Persian Gulf and product and service markets. Hence the Lebanese Coast became a far more useful base for international shipping, especially around the African Continent (Ophir, Auphirah). The alliances between David-Solomon and Hiram I & II of Tyre secured long-term trade arrangements.
Years after his travels when he actually composed his Histories, Herodotus seems to have confused two sources of information in his report on the Phoenicians. That would have been when he wrote up his notes from his diaries during his much later retirement in Sicily. One of his sources in Egypt, or in the Middle East, probably had been about ancient Babylon and its Persian Gulf outlet to the (Indian) Ocean. Another information source probably referred to Tyre’s and Byblos’ Israeli-franchised routes out of Eilat and Aqaba on the “Red Sea”. There would be no confusion if geographers and cartographers of those days (circa 500-600 BC) identified “The Red Sea” as being part of the “Persian Gulf” or ocean surroundi ng the Arabian Peninsula.  It is possible that was an ancient delineation.   Conceivably one could regard the “Red Sea” and the “Persian Gulf” as one ‘Sea’ surrounding the Arabian Peninsula (Arabia Felix). One can sail around Arabia to get from one, e.g., the “Red Sea”, to the other i.e., the “Persian Gulf” which even today may have an entirely different name on maps drawn by modern Emirate cartographers. So who knows how ancient Emirate or Arabian cartographers drew maps of, and named, these ocean waters surrounding Arabia.  After all, an ocean of water also circumscribed the continent of Africa.  Modern Arabian cartographers may well have namde the “Persian Gulf” the “Arabian Sea” for all one knows! Anyway, in effect, Herodotus has the Phoenicians emerging from the “Persian Gulf”.  Of course, in one sense, as intimated above, that is accurate or fair and especially on the basis that we all came from Babylon and the Upper Persian-Gulf region. Put another way, “We are all Kurds” (c.f., 11/11/14).
Here we can see why or how the true history and geography becomes so critical. Babylon is eventually to become Antichrist’s home and base. Actually, it is possible to summarise the most of the text of the Bible (from Genesis 11:1) as an historical and prophetic outline of world history from the Tower of Babel to the re-established Babylon of Revelation 18:21.  That is, the Bible describes how world history upto the start of Christ’s Millennium effectively begins at Babylon and ends there!  So current events (as at June 2015; postscript; July 2017) look very much like that process fulfilling.
So, from this man’s ostensibly innocuous name, Mr “Tariq Kurdi”, we actually are reminded, or get echoes from, a History submerged, as Mr Dan Brown would say, in “fact, faction and fiction”. In modern times, we also see Tarshish rallying to rescue the Kurds whenever their fortunes get really desperate in the Middle East. That is never explained to the Western Public (or Eastern public as well, probably) by the real controllers of Tarshish’s political and military levers (NATO and SEATO).  Behind the real corridors of Tarshish’s power (despite its apparent impotence) there are shadowy influences who know the true history we are trying to publicise and expose in these papers.  Interestingly, their conscience still seems to prick them on occasions. God put that Conscience there in the First Place!
Anyway, when Kurds are in desperation there will be some rescue plan put into operation. The Kurds (or Chaldeans) and their association with Babylon: Past; Present; and Prophesied; And ancient Tyre; figure very prominently in the Old Testament.  With good reason quite apart from providing a background to the name of our friend, Mr “Tariq Kurdi”. The confusion in History, Chronology, Etymology and Political Geography; the latter two compounded from the confusion in the former two; disguises such connections so much that people remain mystified why ‘The West’ seems to take such an interest in the Kurds. [As at July 2017, it was the Kurds still leading the drive to counteract the ISIS/ISIL Phenomenon in Iraq and Syria: not the disorganised Iraqi Arabs split between their competing Shiite and Sunni Muslims; nor the Saudi Arabs and their Wahabi versus al Qa'ida rivals; nor, for that matter, the Turks who are probably not too bothered about the Arabs’ troubles after centuries ruling them under the Ottomans. Also on 8 June, 2015, the Kurds in Turkey won for the first time a block of seats in Turkey’s Parliament and a large enough share to possibly become a coalition partner in the Turkish Parliament.].
But to restate: Kurdish troubles; their intractable but eminently reasonable demand for an independent state of their own; and the tardy concern that belatedly seems to galvanise some sort of rescue operation of the Kurds by their fair-weather friends in the West; may well be an indicator that certain people in high places are aware of the true historicity of the Kurds - and much other ‘True History’.  But they do not want people, or the General Public, to know these things for fear they would reveal just how wrongly our minds are being mis-shaped by The Academy and its related institutions. And the purpose behind that Misinformation has always been to discredit the Bible. In so doing, the Jews become the major target of that dis-creditation.  So, if we are correct in our theory about the Kurds as Galatians or Gelts and Celts then their ancestors may well have been responsible for founding cities like Paris, London and Rome. [For more on this and my very interesting ‘discovery’ in Melbourne on the matter re the possible origins of those three Capitals, refer Blessings 10Ri & ii, and 11Y)].
But to summarise this point and conclude this “Endnote”, we note that there is almost certainly truth, accuracy and fact in the history that records Aeneas flight from Troy to establish Rome in circa 780 BC not 1300 BC!  We believe Aeneas must have either led or represented Kurdish or Chaldean migrants (if he wasn’t actually one himself) whose ancestors, going back three or four generations, had previously settled in Troy circa 1000-800 BC. These are just some summary points raised by reference to Mr “Tariq Kurdi’s” name curiously appearing on an international TV station’s news programme in the midst of some very curious and disturbing events concerning Syria (9/4/14). Syria, formerly Aram in ancient Biblical times, was the land Abraham had lived in (the city of Haran) for several decades after his exit from Babylon and before his arrival in “Canaan”. But modern “Syria” is named after a corruption for the ancient Hebrew name for Tyre - Tsor or Tzor. The French write this as “Sûr” from which we get the English ‘sure’. The original Hebrew means ‘Rock’ which is why anything that is “sure” is rock solid. Even these understandings of the origins of our languages are a threat to modern governing authorities who are finding their denial of them is literally smacking them on the nose via troubles descending upon the Middle East region.  Kurds (Celts) and Tyrians [The Magdalen = ‘Tower’ People or Culture, derived from the Hebrew Migdol] came to share the islands of Britain. That happened in the millennium before the Roman Conquest between 900 BC and 700 BC. But our teachers seem hell-bent on insisting Britain’s only really ‘known’ history starts with the Romans!  Knowing the True History casts light on current developments and any significance in them for Biblical Prophecy.
9/4/14, “Dozens of planes and ships scour ocean for missing MH 370". An interesting illustration of Tarshish’s (mainly SEATO in this case) air and maritime capacity and how Gog might mischievously or cunningly distract Tarshish while terrible things are going on in the nations encompassing Israel from North, East and South. One might ask what the space station cosmonauts could have done with the space station’s operative capacity to affect or even usurp the controls of the Malaysian airliner (MH 370),  That's another enigma. The space station, one should note, is ultimately controlled or serviced from Gogistan or Kazakhstan.
10/4/14, “Ukraine warns Russia 'last chance' to get a good neighbour”. Good point because Russia really does need friends especially when China, India and Tarshish are harmoniously working together to find the missing Malaysia aeroplane MH 370. Compare with Orwell’s point in 1984 that Oceania (Tarshish) allied with the Far East block in the war against the centre block in mid-Asia.
10/4/14, “The Russians are very concerned about terrorists in the Caucasus region”. Interview with a columnist of prestigious US newspaper on a NZ radio station.  
11/4/14, “Have to use unconventional (economic) methods if need be”. Comment from Christine La Garde, new IMF Chairwoman on current world economic problems.  Will one of those unconventional methods be to transfer the world’s economic levers back to Babylon as Zechariah 5:6-11 suggests?  Will she organise this with the likes of Janet Yellin, Angela Merkel, and Hillary Clinton?
13/4/14, “Entire generation of Syrian Children misses out on 3 years schooling”  ...  as a result of the civil war and ensuing refugee problem that began in 2011. As this was written on computer in May 2015, the crisis is now entering its fifth year.  [Postscript July 2017;  Still no end in sight and the generation is getting to be 6-7 years long!]  We observe that as these kids grow up they will be a ripe source of people required for the invasion of Israel within a half-decade or so, assuming events we are describing are part of the Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 scenario. Uneducated and unaware of what is happening in the real world, they will become an easy recruitment target for Gog then for God Himself as He puts His hooks into the jaws of this prophesied horde. Their own nation despoiled perhaps after a decade of fighting, they will look for easy “spoil” in Israel (Ezekiel 38:12). Already, there is no shortage of propagandists nefariously seeking to influence kids like these.
13/4/14, “Arabic Culture is Ok but not Islamic Culture”. The words of a Spaniard when asked about plans to turn a former mosque into a church building. However, the comment reflected terrible ignorance, because the Arabs were Muslim when they conquered Spain in or after the 7th Century AD.  Also, the man typically failed to realise that a lot of Islamic Culture emanates from Arabic Culture. The Arabs did absorb many other cultural influences during their heyday.  We have traced much of that ‘cultural inflow’ to Jews and others living under the Islamic military hegemony.  The Islamic arnies admittedly, at times, did indeed give a considerable amount of civil stability and protection to minorities.  Thery defended civil society from Barbarian Invaders. They brought Law and Order, albeit Sharia Law, to places that after the fall of the Roman Empire had lost these things. But this level of ignorance from a modern Spaniard can lead to inflamed attitudes and subsequent fighting in an already unstable environment. It also reveals a poor standard of education in a nation where one would expect much higher educational achievement. And, oddly enough, Spain has, or at least at one point recently, had the highest unemployment amongst younger people, at about 50 % (24% generally), in the OECD.
13/4/14, "$US30 trillion invested in oil, coal and gas-based energy infrastructure”.  This creates many economic problems in switching to other energy sources, often labelled “opportunity costs”. A comment made on a programme about attempts to use wind energy in Australia. The vagaries of wind, especially when they result in sharp decreases in supply, mean that a system needs to be designed to permit and enable diesel-based energy to immediately come on stream (be reticulated) to offset any shortages. This is another explanation to illustrate how and why it will be nearly impossible to wean the world off Babylon’s oil within the next few decades. That will be significant if the rise of the Antichrist-666 is imminent. The reasoning here is that Babylon’s oil is produced at very low costs ($5 per barrel) so that at high general world prices it generates ginormous profits that all go, theoretically, into the hands of whomever is the controller or owner.
Those enormous profits accumulated over decades as “Reserves” can easily be used to completely distort world finances, collapse stock markets, inflate house values, Government Bonds etc. Such action could be very chaotic allowing Antichrist to pull all the controls of world finance back to Babylon as Zechariah 5:6-11 indicates. We cannot comment on the precise timing of such things for obvious reasons. Even if we wanted to, there really is little we can do to switch to alternative energy sources in the short-term.  Certainly not in any meaningful or significant way, before Antichrist gets into power.  Then, when in power, Antichrist dragoons the world’s armies into the prophesied attempt to destroy Israel before she can appeal or does appeal to Jesus of Nazareth. It is that scenario that seems to precede Israel’s appeal to Jesus the Messiah, The Nazarene, at the end of this Oil Age!  Babylon’s rise seems assured on the basis of this Oil Effect! The oil underneath Babylon is so clean, abundant and rich because of its Edenic Origin, that the world’s economy is already, albeit if indirectly, controlled from Babylon. Once again, all roads seem to lead back to Eden or at least to Babylon, famous for its great Tower of Babel, as she sits atop Eden (Dedan?)!
14/4/14, “Oil is the primary reason why Governments take no action on IPCC Climate Reports”. The oil underneath Babylon is made from the most luscious Garden of Eden squelched underground after Noah’s Flood. That is why World affairs at the end of this Era-Age will begin to centre on Babylon as it sits above the detritus (now oil) of the ancient Garden of Eden deep below. God foresaw all that. Hence the reason why He moved His prophets to write such prophecies that we are looking at and only recently beginning to understand (Daniel 12:4, 9). Foregoing oil consumption will do nothing to prevent the globe heating up. Environment Fanatics and Fantasists are trying to wean the world off oil in order to forestall the effect of Antichrist taking control of Babylon’s oil. Or, they are inadvertently helping him by trying to prevent any different sources being developed. Even if different sources are developed, the world price has to remain far above Babylon’s oil production costs. And that just delivers Antichrist even more power. Ironically, the world oil situation is a no-win scenario for mankind. He is caught in a vice between fears for the environment, enslavement to the financing of oil-based transport systems, and a yet future enslavement to Antichrist-666. As noted the costs of alternatives are almost impossibly high and the alternatives would take a long time coming. We are talking about decades for alternatives to kick in and replace oil.
But the tie-frame for our putative Antichrist is now on a one or two decade track. We shall see what happens but these observations do show how we can see the Biblical prophecies are a really viable alternative Model to analyse these issues. However, God has already foreseen all this economics as well. In any case, decay of high-end metals such as Uranium and absorption of solar energy by the Earth’s core are the main sources of the heat in the Interior (or Earth’s core). The Earth’s temperature has nothing to do with the way we use oil and carbon. Any excess energy, or energy that seeks release from pressure in the interior, has to escape somehow even if we do all leave our cars at home! That pressure-release mostly comes via earthquakes and volcanoes which act as the main output or outlet valves for heat-pressure excesses.  As these 'heat-pressures' are distributed through the Earth's deep interior they inevitably get dissipated along the outer crust where we are!  It would seem God foresaw all this as well.  After all. God created the whole system.  Hence we can see from His Perspective that the globe’s environment after the Two Falls - Satan’s and Adam’s - will only allow genomes and the (current) environment to last for a fixed or limited duration.  Would that be for just 6000 years as The School of Elijah suggests?
Thus for the Last (True or Seventh) Millennium (i.e., Christ’s) to operate, God will presumably have to, or may have to, renovate the environment, as implied in Prophecy. God renovated the Earth in Genesis 1:2ff when He formed a new animal-vegetable environment out of the mineral detritus of Satan’s former dwellings here (Ezekiel 28:12ff). Once the objectives of Christ’s Millennium are completed, the Universe engulfs in fire and God creates a New Universal Order.
16/4/14, “Monarchy is a good thing and perhaps other nations would like to have it too.” A statement on a radio panel talking about constitutional issues. One person sent in an email, for this was just before Easter, writing, “We already have a King and we are remembering Him this weekend”. However, though surreptitiously, or perhaps cynically or mischievously, slipped into the conversation, the panellists clearly wanted to move on and ignore the email and its Truth. We are interested because Prophecy says we will see the World come under the rule of Ten ‘Kings’ then an Eleventh King (Antichrist, The Little Horn) arising amongst them and exercising full control for himself.  Biblically speaking, kings will indeed be back in vogue soon.
17/4/14, “Budapest Memorandum binds UK, USA and Russia to Guarantee Ukraine Independence”. Also makes provision for the management of Ukraine’s nuclear-weapon stock left there after the demise of the USSR. This piece of paper effectively binds Tarshish (UK and USA) into an uncomfortably complex arrangement with Russia and Gog at a time when the Ukraine crisis draws attention away from adverse-for-Israel developments North, East and South of Israel (refer “Compass Points” in 26/4/14, the “Note” after 5/5/14 and 27/3/15).
26/4/14, "Qatari journalists imprisoned by Egyptians", ... in a tit-for-tat spat between Egypt and Qatar. The imprisoned (for about fourteen months) journalists were mentioned in talks between President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry with new Egyptian President Sisi who overthrew the elected Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt in a coup d’état. Interesting case study for theories about journalistic freedom, and the ability to get reports out of these dangerous situations around the world.
Postscript, July 2017;  In June 2017, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Dubai all embargoed Qatar asking it to expel Turkish troops from a base in Qatar.  The Americans also have a very big military base there.  Qatar's fellow GCC states wanted it to cease having diplomatic and commercial links with Iran and close down the Al Jazeera television station.  These absurd demands were resisted by Qatar.  Most of us thought the Saudis had gone mad with this but it seems that money leaking out of these Emirates and the Saudi Kingdom had been getting into the hands of terrorists and stoking up all the wars in the Middle East.  The Saudis seemed to be suggesting they had cleaned up their act in that regard (since 2001) but that Qatar had not!  These states were caught up in Wahabi, Sunni and Shia versions of Islam and, led by the Saudis, the situation seemed to reflect a situation whereby a Wahabist (conservative brand of Islam) supremacy over the others there should prevail.  Hence the significance of the arrest of the Al Jazeera journalists, one of them, Peter Grester, was even an Australian!  This turned out to be part of a bizarre set of interrelationships that even got the US State Department and the White House on opposite sides of the fence between Qatar (State Department and Mr Rex Tillerson who with Exxon had many dealings with Qatar) and Saudi Arabia whom President Donald Trump supported. 
26/4/14, “Cossacks in Transnistia want to join Russian Federation”. This was stated on a TV news report. Describing the Cossacks as “Christians”, the report raises questions about the ethnicity and religion of Cossacks.  Kazakhstan is mainly Muslim we suspect though Georgia, also in the Caucasus-Gogasus region, is mainly what we would describe as Christendomite, judging by its ‘Saint George Cross’ flag - similar to England’s! As noted in 7/11/14, however, some “Georgians” are clearly Muslim. This is another pre-Thirty Years War scenario developing in parallel with ethno-religious crises emerging in Africa and the Middle East. We re-iterate, these are the lands of the “Three Compass Points” radiating North, East and South of Israel as per Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16. Transnistia lies between Ukraine and Romania but does not share a border with Russia. That mattered little under the former Soviet Empire (USSR). But the (effectively ‘financial’) collapse of the USSR left other glaring problems raised by the Westphalian system of nation and boundaries. This was something that former UK PM the Late Dame Margaret Thatcher foresaw. The failing Westphalian system is another raison d’être to re-organise the world’s governance (i.e., Governments, c.f., II Thessalonians 2:7).
28/4/14, "Christine La Garde in Francophone Country rip-off".  The new Head of IMF is today accused of involvement in a scam to strip Francophone African country-wealth by forcing them to deposit earnings from mineral and oil sales in French Banks.  In the process they use transfer charges to strip Africans off their true earnings.  The claim was made on a Foreign TV station available on NZ airwaves. On the same evening the programme showed a statue of a woman with an ephah at an Egyptian Court that sentenced 500 Egyptians to death after one two-hour court hearing. Some Justice! Refrains of prophecy in Zechariah 5:6-11 and the women taking the corrupted ephah back to Babylon-Shinar, the home of corruption of commerce, government and God’s messages.
5/5/14, “Chechens killed in firefight in Yemen”, From a News report on radio. By May 2015, the Houthi brigades supported by Iran were on the verge of taking control of all Yemen. Houthi Tribesmen (pro-Iranian Shiites) had infiltrated the streets of Aden City from their base out of the official capital city San’aa in the north. They were hunting down Yemen’s elected leader. But to return to the headline, we foresaw in the notes we made at the time that “gogites” are now active in Yemen which straddles the all important conjunction of the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. In March 2015, British and American troops stationed in a base about 60 kilometres north of Aden had completely and rapidly withdrawn out of Yemen. The Houthis promptly took it over. So Tarshish was retreating quickly out of a very prickly situation in which (on 26/3/15) Wahabist Saudi Arabia amassed troops on its border with Yemen and aerially bombed Houthi bases and ammunition stocks. So that will pit the Saudis, and perhaps their emirate allies (“Sheba and Dedan”?), against the Iranian financiers of, and weapon suppliers to, the Houthis who primarily are a tribe from one of Yemen’s six provinces. The leaders of these provinces were scheduled under a new arrangement of the Constitution to be involved in a new governance regime for Yemen but that all seems to have broken down.  However, it is not clear whether that breakdown was due to Houthi intransigence or to corruption amongst the political leaders. If the latter is the case, one might argue Iran is simply trying to bring order into a state of disorder. Ancient Iran, a.k.a., Persia, with its Laws of the Medes and Persians, ran one of the most civilised and successful governance regimes the world had (or has) ever seen. Until it also fell into internal corruption and got wiped out by Alexander the Macedonian (a.k.a., the Great or Patricide). Refer for more about Yemen in relation to Ezekiel 38 in the following addendum.
Addendum
A Note on the significance of Yemen for the Ezekiel 38-9 Invasion of Israel. “Cush”, basically Africa north of the Equator, is an integral member of the axis of nations that invades Israel in this prophecy. Furthermore, it is one of the Three Compass Points in the Ezekiel list.  We could label it the Southern Compass point.  The lands of the Caucasus (Gogasus) would seem to be, as is postulated in these papers, the "Gog and Eretz H’M’Gog" that we write about, these places seemingly forming or comprising the Northern Compass Point.  Along with others, we say "northern" but that term is strictly applied to "Gomer and Togarmah" in Ezekiel 38:6.  If Togarmah or Turkomar is Turkey then it is directly to the north of Israel.  But "gomer" is generally considered to represent the Grmanic tribes who may well have been principally domiciled due north of Israel in 600 BC but who mostly drifted Westwards after that to be displaced, in effect,  with some minority groups remaining there, by the Rosh (Russian) and Meshechites (Moscuvites) who also are now directly north oif Israel.  Clearly, "Rosh, Meshech and Tubal" are at least subservient to Gog and any other lands he or it  (i.e., Gog") controls but it is generally assumed they have to obey Gog's directives and so will certainly be amongst the invading force.  However, to be precise, it is not absolutely clear that Rosh, Meshech and Tubal are among the actual invading forces.  It seems most probably they are since they would be otherwise listed like Tarshish, Sheba and Dedan.  So there may be a technical issue that needs to be carefully monitored there until the formally invasion begins assuming the start can be precisely observed perhaps with some sort of formal announcement.  Anyway, it won't be necessary to precisely identify all these matters until the commencement of the invasion and then subtleties will be quickly clarified. 
Iran ("Peres" or Persia) is the central figure-region in the Eastern Compass Point.  Whether that extends further east to Pakistan and Afghanistan or west into Iraq perhaps to the Euphrates River, in other words the Eastern half of Iraq, is a moot point as well!  All of these regions are of necessity a little bit hard to precisely define in modern terms because there is no perfect exchange rate so to speak between the world atlas of 600 BC and today.  Furthermore, it is hard to account for mass people-movements during the intervening 2600 years until nowadays.
To the West, or fourth Compass Point, lies Tarshish. It is the land and islands of the West Tyrian Sea (Atlantic). After China’s demise in the 10th to 14th Centuries AD, Tyre’s former colonies, or young lions by 1500 AD also by then very much strapping young adults, on the Atlantic seaboard of Europe and North-West Africa, were finally able to conquer and colonise. The Americas became the first new home to some of Tarshish’s “Young Lions”.  Ancient Tyre, firstly from its base on the Island of Tyre off Lebanon’s coast, then from its base in Carthage-Tunisia, began colonising not only The Sea of the Mediterranean i.e., the Medi- or Middle-Tyrian- Sea but also the European and North African Atlantic seaboard in pre-Roman times (950-200 BC). The West Atlantic Sea, as far west as the Longitude of the Azores, and the Indian Ocean were the ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ or West and East Tyrian Seas. Just as ancient Tyre had a close relationship with ancient Israel, so the modern Jewish State is also supported by the West (Tarshish and her “Young Lions”) - but only on occasions, somewhat without conviction or with lacklustre at best. Very often whatever support they give Israel is out of self-interest.  Many Middle Easterners can see this ancient link even if they fail to adequately explain their reasoning for that.  Instead, they tend to voice or couch their worries in terms of Westernism and Colonialism or a mixture of both. In that context, Israel is seen by her Middle east neighbours to be poart of that Western Colonialism which is unfair on the returning Jews.
Thus according to Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16, Israel will be invaded from the North, East and South after she has been regathered from many nations as per Ezekiel 37:1ff.   Israel's supporters in that prophecy are to the West but as noted elsewhere - Impotent.  There is one other significant player in this mix, a member of the invasion force but a region that once housed people who are now Tarshishites and that region is "Put" or Punt.  But of that region we speak elsewhere because for now this addendum principally wants to look at the Yemenite theatre the subject of this heading. 
While the Northern and Eastern nations have reasonably direct land routes into Israel and onto the West Bank, through Jordan if necessary, some of the Puntite regions and especially the African-Cushite nations do not have such clear and relatively unobstructed access to Israel. They cannot easily attack via the Mediterranean Sea because, at least in those waters, the ships of Tarshish-NATO can feasibly blow them out of the water and give Israel some measure of protection from that quarter. Egypt already gets many semi-hostile Sudanese trying to get to Israel by travelling down the Nile. But Egyptian locals frequently harm or kill them. Egyptians are dead scared of Israel and won’t want to anger Israel by letting hordes of Africans attack the latter using Egypt as a right-of-way.  It would be impractical for these hordes to travel up Egypt’s deserts because they would just as likely be cut off before entering the Sinai. So Egypt should, would or could present quite a significant blockage to a huge mass of people trying to come up against Israel via the Nile Delta, the Sinai on the Mediterranean Coast, then up through the Gaza Strip.
For those reasons, barring a complete collapse of Egyptian society and ability to block Israel-headed hordes, there effectively is only one main route to Israel for a hosts of Africans (Cushites). That route is either to sail up the Red Sea or preferably to ferry this human wave across the Red Sea to Yemen from Somalia, Djibouti or Eritrea. Then there is a straight forward march up the coast of the Red Sea through what was the Hejaz in the early 20th Century AD and the land of nations that the Bible called “Midian” (Medina) and “Edom”. The Arabian Coast of the Red Sea is sparsely populated compared to Egypt’s dense masses strung up and down the thin fertile river valley. The relatively sparse population on the Arabian side of the Red Sea is sympathetic to anyone opposed to Israel. That would bring the crowd to the Eastern Sinai and into Jordan. There is considerable infrastructure up the Edomite Coast of the Red Sea to transport, feed and water this rabble with all its possessions, weapons and, probably, diseases too. An Iranian takeover of Yemen potentially is thus a very clear prelude to this invasion .  Then for "Chechens" of all groups to be involved in that Yemenite war we really do have a flag to alert us that Ezekiel 38:1 ff is on the verge of fulfillment.
So this is just one of many factors we have to study and watch. Other data militates against the thesis. But that is proper procedure.  One must consider Hypothesis and Null Hypothesis, test observations and test The Model’s predictions. In these papers, “predictions” or forecasts are not prophecies but are an analysis of Prophecy which is given - in the Bible!  Prophecies are reserved for God and His Israelite Prophets as He chose them and revealed them in the Holy Bible. Prophecy is not found in Nostradamus, in the Koran nor anywhere else! To conclude this endnote, Yemen’s potential importance in connection with Prophecy is as a vital link in the conduit for the African (Cushite) nations to invade Israel as per the Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 Prophecy.  [Postscript, July 2017:  Additionally, as came to be reported in mid 2017, the displaced persons as a result of Yemen's civil war was by then exceeding Syrian displaced persons.  Gogite-Chechen participation therein alone suggests the possibility that a portion of the rabble that will eventually invade Israel is now being generated in Yemen's civil war].
5/5/14, "Deir el Azor (el Tyre) - Origin of Syria Crisis 2011-".  This is the place where rebellion against Assad Junior's Regime began.  Later, it fell under the control of al Qa'ida.  By now it probably had fallen to another rebel group (probably ISIS/ISIL although one could not confirm from this report). Syria, a.k.a., Tsoria from Hebrew for Tyre (צור, Tsor) is a crucial member of the Put or Punt in Ezekiel 38:5 (פות in Hebrew but translated “Libya” in most Bibles). “Syria” includes a lot of hinterland that was formerly known as "Aram" in the Bible.  In the past, some of that “hinterland” was considered part of Mesopotamia or our modern nation of “Iraq”. These modern boundaries are therefore quite fictional or superficial in comparison with their ancient historical context.  [Refer Addendum to this item].  “Syria” got its modern name from the French colonial rulers after the Fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1914-18.  They may nbot have been the only foreign power to give the region its name 'Syria', the Romans probably being the first to do so.  However, Biblically speaking, it should be "Aramea".  But the only truly ‘Syrian’ part of the region we should name “Aram” is the territory adjoining Lebanon and the Mediterranean coast up at the Syrian Panhandle i.e., around Aleppo (The Aleph- Alpha or First, Premier City) and Latakia.  Lebanon and the ‘Syrian Panhandle’ on the Coast was the actual homeland or home-base of the Tyrian (Phoenician) League of City-States and -Ports that colonised the Mediterranean and beyond, i.e., through the Pillars of Hercules at Gibraltar (Gebal or Byblos-Tariq or Tyre).  It is for that reason that the Assad Regime in Damascus, Syria, has claimed overlordship or unity with “Lebanon” (Levant) which is the ‘L’ in ISIL (or ISIS).  Little wonder there is confusion all around!
Addendum
Under the Westphalian Plan modern national and international boundaries were to be temporary.  They were to be in vogue or in place until the appearance of the World-Wide Government and resultant Ten Region Programme.  We now wonder if those last phases of world governance, on the eve of Antichrist's takeover, would come on stream following the beginning of what might loosely be termed the Satanic Millennium (AD 2001-).  Whether the delegates to Westphalia in 1648 were aware of, or had in mind, this long-term plan for the later world-encompassing re-organisation via world government most of us probably will not find out until the Messianic Kingdom. But the Bible had certainly forewarned believers of every generation of a scenario like this.  However, as is so often the case with Biblical Prophecy the Daniel 12:4 & 9 caveat applies here as well.  
So the cartographers of Westphalia were never interested in real ethno-boundaries.  Physical features like rivers, lakes and deserts were far easier boundary markers to design.  Although to be fair to that system there are always questions about where the real ‘ethnicities’ lie. Over time that problem has just become much more complex and, in the minds of many influential people now, essentially irrelevant. They deem it irrelevant, especially now, because the Ten Region World Plan is not far away.  Anyway, they now desire to mix the different ethnicities to get better and more healthy offspring procreated in order to have as big as posible pool of talent to pursue the Babel Project..
Also, mixing and assimilating different ethnicities is the quickest way to re-educate and up-skill a degenerating national population base.  Allowing illegal migrants to flood First World lands re-invigorates the decaying, ossifying and even dying national gene base.  In general, Westphalia’s society modellers never could solve for all ethnic eccentricities and xenophobia. The old empires sometimes had lesser-states, shires, counties, provinces, principalities etc., drawn-up to provide different ethnic groups with some area of identity and local autonomy.  Some large countries still do this today, for example in the example of Iran’s province of “Kordestan” or the UK's Principality of Wales.  But, coming back to Eden as we sometimes do in these short essays, this is all part of the Dilemma of The Fall of Adam, i.e., how the world is to be governed for the benefit of all not just for the privileged.  Inevitably, however, it will be the privileged who get everything.  Isaiah 65:21-2 in the Bible points out how that will be reversed when Messiah rules.
14/5/14, "Reports that Polio is breaking out dangerously".  Interestingly, these reports are surfacing in Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 countries.  For example, Ebola in West Cush (Sierra Leone, Cameroun, Central African Republic).   The problems seemed by April 2015 to be under control.  But these diseases, and any other nasties like them, lurking or present in the baggage and weapons of the invaders, may be the reason for the “Seven Years Burn-up” of Ezekiel 39:9.
15/5/14, "Russia told to improve the state of its roads before meddling in Ukraine"!  A journalist noted Mr Putin needs to solve many domestic problems and complaints. To us, this suggests the Ukraine Crisis is part of the mischievous mischief that the leader of the Gog nations et al foments before invading Israel. The real day-to-day problems (refer Addendum to this note) that Government (or
 “Governance”) under the Westphalia System is supposed to address are ignored in many countries too poor to afford Westphalia’s luxuries.  But for Russia and her neighbours there are much bigger fish to target especially, perhaps, the “spoil” (Ezekiel 38:12-13) either actually or presumed to be existing in Israel. This “spoil in Israel” may be as much Perception as reality which most commentators are apt to overlook. It could refer to Jerusalem especially in its context as a 'Holy' City (the Islamic El Kuds).  The stability, calm and prosperity of modern Israel is a very sharp contrast with the wanton destruction and lack of governance;  or at best highly autocratic and authoritarian governance;  in most of the rest of the Middle East and beyond (wider out from that region).  Of course, the promises of great plunder have always been the incentive to rouse people to invade other lands even though their own countries are as rich if not richer. The “Spoil” may in reality  just be a casus belli as the Old Latin goes.

There was an interesting contrast with New Zealand in a 28 March 2015 by-election Campaign very soon after a General Election. The duly-elected Government with a transport Minister named Mr  “Bridges” was offering to fix 12 one-lane bridges in the electorate (Northland), making them two-way, as well as offering to repair or extend other highways if the locals were to vote for the Government’s new, untried and inexperienced candidate.  Lambasted as “Bribery” and “Pork Barrel Politics” by opponents, it is hard to see otherwise. The By-election campaign highlighted the world-wide corruption in modern politics and government (refer 13/5/15 for another angle on this). For decades nothing was done about this ‘infrastructure’ in Northland. However, the unstable nature of the soil does mean repairs are extensive after frequently heavy rain. Russia has problems with ice and snow. These things illustrate the long-run effects of the Fall of Adam. Humans are never satisfied and the fallen environment adds to the difficulties.
15/5/14, “Their countries have collapsed”, A Mid-East journalist refers to Syria and Libya. Both are “Put” countries in our ‘revised chronology' and in our 'revised political geography' two unique bases for our analysis of Ezekiel 38:5.  In that verse, conventional or orthodox translations do use “Libya” for “Put”.  Amusingly, modern Libya via its boundaries;  such as they are in view of the civil war, strife and chaos pervading the place; is part of both Cush (Africa) and Put.  Of course that rather complicates matters.  As we say elsewhere, it is hard to translate an atlas of 600 BC into today's Westphalian boundaries.  "Put" or the Puntite or Tyrian-Carthaginian (Tunisian) hegemony that once controlled the Mediterranean region (between circa 1000-200 BC) ssems to be in view in the Hebrew "Put".  Thus, we  cannot yet say with precision or exactness which countries of today are the equivalent of those in Ezekiel’s yesteryear (600 BC).  We are nevertheless almost right on the money with our new chronology.  We can't explain everything of course but we now have an excellent 'handle', as they say, on the overall history of the ancient world in the Middle East in that all-important era 2000-500 BC.  Hence the Cartography or World Map of the Past and Present of that region (Afghanistan to Morocco, Astana in Kazakhstan to the Congo (our definition for the project). The commentators of the Status Quo or Establishment are foundering in confusion by comparison.
15/5/14, “Image and charm are now the essential features of success in politics”,  That observation came from a well-known journalist and commentator.  He was talking about the lack of these qualities in UK Parliamentary Opposition Leader David Milliband who resigned following defeat in the May 2015 UK General Election won by Conservative and Unionist Party PM David Cameron. The soundness of the analysis of this statement sets up the situation well for that most alluring of world leaders to come - Antichrist 666. Our current putative candidate does indeed resemble a well known young charmer from a highly popular fanciful novel series for young and probably not-so-young too!  As we move through what might really be Satan's millennium;  not that it has much time to work through, a few decades at the most perhap;  people with these qualities rather than people with ability and wisdom will take control of any significant position of responsibility in the running of this world's affairs.
17/5/14, "Humans can live 1000 years".  From a radio interview on eliminating wastes from the body in order to assist its healthy and nornal operation.  In the interview, a scientist said, “Evolution seems not to have developed a process in our cells to eliminate every waste”.  When God formed life on this Earth from the dust 6000 years ago each life-form did have such a mechanism but it began breaking down and operating inefficiently in the wake of the Fall of Adam.  In the Messianic Kingdom, people born in the early years of it;  and who during their life acknowledge Jesus’ Sacrifice for their sin in their still-carnal bodies; actually will reach the age of 1000 years.  In practice that would only be true for someone born in the first year of the Millennium.  Someone born in the tenth year will reach 990 etc. Therefore, inductively, we assume that in the Garden of Eden, had Adam not fallen and made that fatal error he and his descendants would have procreated a family of humans for 1000 years.  The oldest couple, i.e., Adam and Eve, would have been 1000 when God would have bestowed on Mankind an eternal body for his eternal existence in the New Universe that would have been created because Satan had caused the desecration of the first with his fall circa 4,500,000,000 BC.
The carnal body of Man was designed to last up to a thousand years should Adam have obeyed God.  Adam did not obey. So the human and animal genomes had to be equipped for existence in a Post-Fall Earth outside the special environment of the Garden of Eden.  However, after the Fall, or in its wake, early generations of Man initially did live for as much as nine and a half centuries. However that situation did not last for long, once the effects of the Fall on Man’s Genome kicked in with an ongoing, accumulating, aggregating and exacerbating  vengeance. That is to say, using modern genetic terms, “mutations in the womb” mutations generated by the environment, and/oor mutations generated by certain activities of the host (Lamarckianism) are shortening lifetimes. In the aggregate or net outcome this would be true.  Some mutations may confer advantage and thereby improve lifesapn.  Also environmental factors like improved sanitation can reverse a decline in life expectancy.      At times, throughout history, life expectancy has sunk to as low as 30 years in some dire places.  Even recently, average life expectancy fell to 57 for men in post-Soviet Russia.  More generally, as time progressed, expected life spans of men, on average, declined from 900 years to approximately 200 years (e.g., Abraham 186) then 80 then 70 years where it lies today.  A classic example of how Science and the Bible are indeed quite in harmony!
20/5/14, "Chechens (Gogites) deny they have fighters operating in East Ukraine".  But they are aound several other hotspots along with Georgians and Cossacks-Kazakhs.  Various reports about some of these people being involved in fracas as far away as Africa surface from time to time. [Postscript July 2017:   They do not turn up in the America's much although one may have been involved in the Boston Marathon incident.  some may be making their way to help ISIS in the Philippines.  Some are known to be in Libya].
29/5/14,   "$70 million to be spent mapping South Indian Ocean floor".  This is to be spent ostensibly searching for the missing Malaysian airliner MH 370.  It was not clear from the report which currency was cited.  Jeremiah 31:37 (see also Key Events for 20/12/13, 30/3/15 and 2/4/15) refers to mapping the ocean depths and the heavens in order for God to agree to abandon His four unconditional Covenants (Abrahamic, Davidic, Land and New) with Israel. Although, presumably, it is technically feasible to map the ocean's floor, to do any more, or even assuming it is possible, it would seem one could never really survey the entire interior of the Earth. God's statement in Jeremiah should primarily be seen as reinforcing the Un-conditionality of the above Covenants God signed with Israel.  However, with reports like the one here surfacing every now and then, as they definitely so one should note, it is wise to keep abreast of them.  For as the target approaches, or the project nears an end or completion, we may well have yet another clue as to the time when God will as a chemist once said "Shut up Shop"!
Perhaps it is worth re-iterating here  that there is one 'Israelite' covenant that is an exception on the point of conditionality or unconditionality i.e., 'The Mosaic'.  It clearly was conditional and temporary (Numbers 12:6, Deuteronomy 18:15, Jeremiah 31:31, Matthew 5:18, Luke 16:16 and John 1:17).  Nevertheless we have statements from three different Governments that those two objectives about mapping the sea floor are the top two priorities for “International Science and the International economy”. As one reads it literally, there is an at least implicit challenge to Jeremiah 31:31ff therein.  Indeed, here is a possible example of a scientific objective actually trying to challenge the veracity of a Biblical statement. Counter intuitively, that is actually revealing through the back door so to speak another example of a Bible-Science Harmony.  The science mafia has taken the bait.  If the Bible is such nonsense as they say, why try to accept or take-up one of its implicit challenges? They are daft! God is indeed sitting in the heavens and laughing at the heathen (Psalm 2:4, 59:8).
6/6/14, “We can't tell how Evolution began but we can describe and talk about it”, said Stephen Hawking’s daughter, “Lucy”, speaking on a national radio station.  Sadly, we are not allowed to talk about and describe what we believe about Creation over the same radio station nor on any other either, nor in newspapers nor on television; nor, increasingly, in churches either!  This is one of the "Three E's and 'C's" issues that we have listed in the document in these pages entitled "Key Indicators:  Key  Subjects".  The media, ever jealous of its right to be the 'Fourth Estate'  regularly fails to justify its rights by censoring any public discussion of the points raised under the Three E's and 'C's.
10/6/14, "Silver (and Black) Pope, Peres and Abbas meet for prayer".   In our papers we label the Argentine Pope the 'Silver' Pope.  He is 'Black' because as a Jesuit, and the first to become pope apparently, he represents the people who were usually seen to be the power behind the throne of popery, i.e., the Jesuits, the disciples of Ignatius Loyala the founder of the loyal stormtroopers of Catholicism.  A friend suggests Pope Francis names himself after Francis Xavier the Jesuit who looked forward to uniting all religions and who hoped to succeed where Nebuchadnezzar failed.  Of course, Antichrist-666 will succeed. 
The names are interesting.  Mr Abbas (Hebrew and Syrian for ‘father’) is the PLO leader and Israeli President Shimon Peres (name meaning Persia = Iran) get together to pray for Peace (Refer Blessing 4Mii) with the papal Papa or Father.  A really unholy duo for the Israeli leader to naively mix with in a strange-looking troika.
26/6/14, "Almaliki systematically disenfranchised Kurds and Sunnis".  Iraqi-Shia Premier Almaliki (an Amalekite) systematically disenfranchised both Kurds and Sunnis in Iraq's Post-Saddam, American-sponsored and -designed Constitution.  The statement came during a discussion on American policy failures in Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. The USA backed Almaliki even though he came second in one election when the Americans backed him over the Sunni winner.  The commentator blamed the Americans for leaving the Kurds and Sunnis isolated after Saddam's demise and ousting.  But one might suggest that the albeit informal alliance between the Iraqi Kurds and Iraqi Shias effectively disenfranchised the Sunnis. That would not necessarily have been a conscious strategy of the Kurds who may have been obliged to allow things to run that way. Or, from another perspective, the Kurds manipulated the new (American) federal system to give themselves constitutional power through a veto and de facto political control of North Iraq (and over the oil up there).  But at least the Kurds, in an almost Christian-neighbourly approach, are protecting and looking after other minorities within their area of influence.
The commentator, a university academic, also suggested thinkers are re-considering the wisdom of removing even brutal dictators in order to establish ‘all important democracy’. They ask, “Should we leave the dictator in place?” This may suggest the Academy is looking at other governing options instead of “Democracy” as we allude in observations of other actors’ strategies in a world rapidly sliding outside the Westphalian Model. Is this a prelude to accepting the Antichrist and his system?  (Answer: “Probably, Yes”). One might even conclude this American bungling was so inept that it was instead quite deliberate and executed in order to create conditions for, in the medium- or longer-term, the re-establishment of Babylon (refer '28/7/17, Is Emirate-Qatar Crisis a Prelude to re-establishment of Babylon?').
An inherent danger in that putative American strategy is to give Muslims evidence that a deliberate establishment of a chaotic situation is being ushered into place as their prophecies of the return of the Mahdi-Messiah implied. Certainly the Bible suggests a scenario like that re the Antichrist’s rise to power (II Thessalonians 2:7).  Anyway, God's command to Adam to abstain from eating fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, virtually specifically warned of great world crises on the eve of Satan's impregfnation of the woman who will bear the antichrist child.  God had repaired the world after the chaos that reulted with Satan's Fall.  An obvious conclusion from the entire corpus of the Bible suggests Adam's sin will likewise lead the world to eventual chaos that only God can rescue us from.   Islamic prophecy draws on the Bible but spins Biblical prophecies to suit the Islamic rhetoric. [(*) To be fair, one should remember that in some constitutional systems the leader of a minority party can become a National Leader, either President or Prime Minister, depending on constitutional frameworks. We see this even in places like Germany, the UK and NZ].
30/6/14, "Systems to Restrain Evil are over-burdened".  A Public Debate in NZ revealing the Court system is being overwhelmed by bureaucracy and procedural forms.  Also, in NZ, financial constraints restrain the Crown’s ability to prosecute criminals.  Rising complexity in Homicide Law puts even more pressure on administrative resources or infreastructure. Thus shrinking budgets render an ever declining number of prosecutions. However, automation means many motorists get heavily fined for minor-traffic offences. Legal costs to defend themselves fall on motorists, not on the Crown.   This just presents us with yet another example of the II Thessalonians 2:7 scenario emerging.
14/7/14,  “Hamas uses citizens to protect rockets but Israel uses rockets to protect its citizens”, said Israeli Prime Minister. 
18/7/14,  “Cossack militants boasting over radio they had brought down Malaysian airliner over Ukraine” (News report). More evidence of Gogite peoples: (Kazakh-Cossacks, Chechens and Georgians, the latter stirring up anti Semitic but supposedly ‘Christian’ peoples); interfering in various political, ethnic and religious disputes. Our  suggestion is that much of this ruction is a cover for the real objective of the nations to the North, East and South of Israel to invade it as per Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16.
15/8/14, “Devil Beast”.  One of a series of quotes set off in response to a Book published at the beginning of New Zealand Parliamentary Election Campaign in late 2014. The book is entitled Dirty Politics. (c.f., September 2014).
21/8/14, “Internet Hackers and Anarchists trying to destroy Democracy”, Stated when a local radio host and former journalist summarised an interview he had earlier conducted.  Adds a further dimension to II Thessalonians 2:7.  On 20/8/14, the same radio host said, “Let there be a contest of ideas”. Yet he routinely shuts down callers who raise questions regarding Moon landings, Twin Towers, The Bible (“all make-believe”) or Evolution. Also rudely cut off was this writer when asked to say something about the book he wrote as “History Channel stuff”. This author, like the host himself, equally abhors “History Channel” so it was a double insult not at all out of character for this pugilistic radio host. He calls for “contests of ideas” but is really an hypocrite. Another aspect of the appearance of allowing debate but in reality suppressing it. This phenomenon is everywhere now, especially in churches.  
25/8/14, “We are well serviced flying to the Middle East these days”, according to a well known and well-travelled New Zealand commentator. It was only a chance off-the-cuff comment, made in a discussion about air travel generally.  In context of major events in the world today and in Bible-Prophecy contexts, it is an interesting observation even if it is just an “outlier” as the statisticians say. However, we might ask, “Are all routes beginning to lead to Babylon?” The old adage used to be “All roads lead to Rome”. As we have discovered in our researches, Rome, Paris and London seem to have their earliest roots in Babylonian or Trojan-Chaldean settlers better known to us as Celts (Gelts or Galatians) in Britain. We further identify these people as also being the Hittites and Kurds, as well as the Kasdim of the Bible. So all roads do indeed lead to Babylon as the above commentator says are “well-serviced”.
9/9/14, “ISIS sympathisers springing up in India, Pakistan and South East Asia".  In those regions, added the newspaper report, an estimated 400 million Muslims live”, according to Newspaper reports.
10/9/14, “The Devil Beast”.  The label surfaced a few times in New Zealand around this time.  [Postscript:  the use of the label stopped almost as suddenly as it started popping up.  One suspects a few words were said in certain quarters as the power elites and illuminati continue to suppress discussion of the issue].   One occasion was in Parliament and on another by a commentators (c.f., 15/8/14) during Election Campaign.  Used mainly in connection with a potential grand alliance amongst left wing political parties and their joint opposition to mass surveillance etc.  Reference in part relates to a German in New Zealand the deed-poll- and pseudo-named multi-millionaire “Mr Kim Dotcom”. He was hoping to get himself into Parliament to block court proceedings against himself (Extradition to the USA). He had hoped to bring money and his new “Internet Party” into a left-leaning alliance of several political parties. During the campaign it was revaled that Mr Dotcom owned a personally-signed copy of Adolph Hitler’s Mein Kampf.   Mr Dotcom paid for Mr Glen Greenwald of The Guardian to come and give a public lecture about Mr Snowden’s revelations about the Five Eyes Spy network employed by USA, UK, Canada, Australia and NZ. The initiative was a failure because George Orwell’s 1984 warned us about that away back in 1948. But “Devil Beast” comments probably reflected political discussions going on behind the scenes revealing people are concerned about world trends and what they mean for Governments now. We have to be careful with speculation, but it can sometimes be the case that little slips like this, as one is being interviewed under a certain amount of pressure on TV etc., reveal an understanding of some other mostly hidden agenda. That agenda could be about the Bible’s Beast (Antichrist-666) who will one day rule the world. It is useful to report observations like this but one must be very careful pushing them into unrealistic contexts or making ridiculous conclusions.
22/9/14, “We are going to end up strengthening Iran and Syria” (or Put and Persia as per Exekiel 38:5) according to a US commentator on the emerging crisis with ISIS/ISIL. He added, “These groups are always ‘shape-shifting’ as various factions weave in and out of ISIS/ISIL, or weave in and out of ISIS, al Qa’ida, al Nusra Front, The Taliban, etc. That comment parallels “sub-group to sub-group” (refer 8/3/15).
Also, “They want to drag America and allies into the conflict to assist recruitment”. True, in a fashion, but this example of limited secular thinking obfuscates a better understanding of the beliefs amongst various Islamic groups. Some Muslims believe the end times will be signified by many nations coming up against Islam (“The 80 Flags”, refer below 9/2/15, 26/2/15 and 26/3/15).  They believe the Mahdi will restore order out of Chaos*. Other Muslims believe the chaos reflects the world’s opposition to Sharia Law or God’s Law so their mission is to restore Sharia over all the earth! Hidden  amongst much rubbish there are skeins of Truth in these Muslim world-views except that “God” is Jehovah, not Allah the Moon, and the ‘Law’ now is the Law of Christ which replaced the Law of Moses for reasons explained in the New Testament Epistles.
Muslims have replaced the Mosaic Code with one of their own which reflects aspects of the Mosaic such as the ban on pig meat. [* Actually, the One Who is to come is The Messiah and He will be Jesus of Nazareth, Son of God, Son of Man, Son of David and Messiah of Israel].
21/10/14, “Theology evolves but Doctrine does not”, according to newspaper account of an interview with a local NZ Cardinal concerning the Vatican’s theological dilemmas. The quote reflects the Vatican’s acceptance of Theistic Evolution. Also demonstrates the deep systematic and systemic theological problems the main Western Religions: i.e; Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam; all have. In these papers, we sometimes use this group of 'faiths' to be encompassed within the term 'Christendom'.  Whatever definitions we use, these points obscure a wider debate about the divide between “Faith” and so-called “Reason”.
23/10/14, “New banking crisis lurking".  Apparently because of world-wide deflation and problems in managing the transition from fundamental inflation and growth to fundamental deflation and negative growth or shrinkage of world economy. Possible political implications too. “Euro Zone sitting on a powder keg after five years deflation”.  
23/10/14, "Comet observed flying close to Mars".  The report continued by saying it "possibly crashed in to it.  But the observatory in Australia which saw the event was closed down for financial reasons.
23/10/14, "Previous generations of Islam not true Muslim”.  The report continued, “there is a new growing trend in Islam to consider previous generations of their belief system was not true to the faith, according to a reported comment on radio.
However, this comment overlooks another set of conclusions one can deduce from the Bible. It tells us there will be a generation that will understand passages of Scripture which previous generations could not hope to fathom c.f., Daniel 12: 4, 9 and Psalm 78:2b.  For Christians, only the generation of believers at the end of the Church Age would experience the Rapture. Thus, previous generations might either fail to realise that the concept of the Rapture is there in the Scripture. Or, without the return of the Jews to Israel being apparent in their era, they would rarely focus on The Rapture anyway.
[Postscript, 13/5/16, The points here are explained in our 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Study papers on the Rapture and the Church, The Seven Key First-Last Events, The Rapture and the Second Coming and in an appendix to that paper considreing Professor Edersheim's and Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum's views on Luke 17 and the Olivet Passages of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.  They combine Luke 17:22-37 with the Olivet passages and say it applies to the Second Coming.  Whereas, we believe Luke 17 is actually only about the Rapture.  Luke 17 is specifically directed and targeted at Jesus' future disciples who will be "Longing for One of the Days of the Son of Man".  (The suggestion here is that He has three 'Days' that are special for Himself and us by inheritance.  They are The Rapture, the Marriage of the Lamb and The Second Coming).  Jesus told His Group of Disciples they would not see it but opened up the possibility another generation of disciples would see it!  One point in these papers is that many generations would not be able to understand or perceive certain passages of Scripture.  That does not make them unbelievers.  Of course, the same point could be made of the Muslims who are perhaps transferring this possibility to their faith but wrongly of course since they have rejected the Truth.  Nevertheless the journalists who have also rejected the Truth may have misinterpreted what this latest generation of Muslims is really saying.  These nuances are misunderstood by, incomprehensible to and lost on the public, journalists, politicians, theologians etc.]   
So to outside sceptical and secular observers, the actual view of these Muslims regarding previous generations of Muslims might be more subtle than meets their eyes. They might also be referring to some sort of ‘Islamic Revival’. Such concepts also feature in Pentecostal and Charismaniac movements.
24/10/14, “The End of the World has come”.  The prayer of a “Radicalised” Muslim convert who shot Canadian soldier on guard at a memorial outside Canadian Parliament.
7/11/14, “Kids leaving Georgia to fight for ISIS/ISIL”, according to reports about young Muslims in the Georgian state of the Gogasus or Caucasus Mountains. Reveals that there is a significant Muslim population in Georgia even though the national flag bears the Cross of St George. The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi, which may be the Tubal of Ezekiel 38:3. Or else, Tubalsk in Siberia is the “Tubal” of Ezekiel. Stalin came from Georgia to rule the Russians. That shows how these Caucasus nations (Chechens, Kazakhstan’s Cossacks and Georgians) can be the overlords or Hebrew Nasi of the Russians (Hebrew, “Rosh, Meshech and Tubal). News snippets like this make sense of what otherwise can seem to be an unlikely situation or one that would otherwise be impossible to conceive. We always get fed the line of the Big Bad Russian Bear at the expense of recognising the even bigger and potentially worse bears surrounding Russia.
11/11/14, “ISIS Taking to Twitter to Promote Domesticity”, according to newspaper headline. The report referred to a woman named Miss Um Khadijah who gave birth to a child sired by an ISIS warrior named “Abu Chechen”. Here is the possibility that a ‘Khadi-jah’ or “Kurd of Jah or God (Jah-ovah)”, was either raped or seduced by a Gogite. We note in the prophecies that Kurds or Chaldeans are NOT involved in the invasion of Israel. But it is not quite clear how, where or to what extent they will be involved in the Battle for Babylon. That’s because Shinar-Babylon was the Kurds ancestral homeland (referaddendum below).  In one very important and basically true sense, that is true for all of us. As is sometimes said in the Middle East, “We are all Kurds” (c.f., 9/4/14). Of course Western sympathy for the Kurds, with ex-soldiers from Britain and elsewhere going to help the Kurds fight, goes back to shared historic roots (Kurds, Kards, Gelts or Celts in Britain). Today, Kurds have missed out in the Westphalian system and are without a homeland or nation state.  Kurds languish dispossessed in the north-central Middle East. Perhaps that woman did not even know she is a Kurd. Or was the report a fabrication and issued to send some coded message which we have intercepted and explained in this paragraph?
Addendum
In March 2015 it emerged that there are claims Kurds are exploiting the ISIS crisis to foment support for their independent-nation status aspirations that really have been long promised to them since 1918. However, the ruling powers have reneged on that commitment. That is one reason why no one will push Israel to concede to the Palestinians for their aspirations to a nation-state on the West Bank and Gaza.  Because the Kurds would erupt in great anger if the Palestinians got recognition and action before the Kurds’ much longer-standing and genuine claims. If there is any claim for the Palestinians it should be to the State of Jordan, not Gaza-West Bank. Modern Palestinian History is a concoction based on the false premises of modern Egyptology. There the so-called Peleset of the ancient Egyptian inscriptions refer to Peres or Persia and to their invasion of Egypt in the 6th Century BC not to a so-called War between “Palestinians” and Egypt in the 12th to 11th Centuries BC.
12/11/14, “Here for a good time, not a long time”.  A classic case of modern Hedonism uttered by a woman on a radio station panel discussion. In the same week a radio personality on another station in the same city in NZ, said “The Bible is all made up”. How stupid and wrong these people are! The first comment was in the context of a discussion about longevity and living for a thousand years as medical science now (belatedly) believes is technically feasible for humans. The Bible’s Messianic Kingdom indicates that a millennium would have been the span of Man’s procreation in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not Fallen. However, in the event Adam did Fall, the Lord has planned and arranged for the human genome to be regenerated in such a way that those who enter the Millennial Messianic Kingdom; out of, or having survived and come to belief during the Tribulation; will get that chance, that Adam blew, to procreate, in a wonderfully benevolent environment, new generations of both Gentiles and Israelites.
In the latter, God will meet His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The promises to the three Jewish or Hebrew Patriarchs, to their full extent as determined by a literal reading of them in Genesis, never seemed to be fulfilled. (Modern commentators thus interpreted them allegorically). In particular, God will fulfill (i.e., fully fill not partially fill) the promise made to each of them that they would have innumerable descendants as numerous as the world’s grains of sand or the universe’s stars in the heavens. This unfulfilled prophecy must therefore now await the Millennium for its fulfilment.
Meantime, the world’s evolutionist and godless scientists are trying to extend human life beyond the Three Score and Ten of the Bible - a book that is presumably “makebelieve”. 
13/11/14, “Nazis’ Perverted Science”.  A promo line for a Saturday afternoon radio programme discussing science.  The term came from Sir W.S. Churchill. Implicitly there is a resurgence of grotesque or perverted science just as these prophetic indicators emerge. In genetics, this is of particular significance because it is one perverted area in science where pre-Flood parallels exist in sexual (i.e., technically speaking, gene transfer processes) activity. That is one of the aspects of “The Days of Noah” that Jesus presumably referred to in the Olivet Discourse. However, like many such statements in the Bible, as Daniel 12:4 & 9 says, it would only be in the “Last Days” that the full implication of statements by Jesus and others would be more fully if not completely understood.
Addendum
Notwithstanding that some people still doubt the existence of them, today, we have an extensive understanding of atoms, and how they appear to act either as particles, as waves or even as both at the same time. Furthermore, their sub-particles (muons, gluons, Alpha-, Beta-, -Gamma particles and the Higgs-Boson-Particle etc) seem to even change behaviour when observed. That makes conventional theory-setting virtually impossible.  However, when we extend this knowledge to our understanding of cells and genomes and the mysteries of what happens when life is first conceived in the wombs of women and animals, we actually come to the edge of an understanding of how a spirit being, i.e., an angel, might be able to interact sexually and physically with humans and even animals.
In regard to the Higgs-Boson-Particle, on its “discovery”, scientists, having predicted it to exist in the first place, then said that it somehow gave the universe a “framework to express Mass” (as in E-MC2).  Cells are enormous combinations of not only atoms but also the sub-particles that comprise the relatively huge atom. That all these things could “evolve” now seems ridiculous. For example, both NASA and the European Space Agency explain their rationale for their searches on comets for the building blocks of life as being necessary because those ‘building blocks’ must have evolved somewhere deep in the outer Universe. The complexity of atoms and cells, the ‘building blocks’ of all life in Double-Helix DNA format (or “Biosphere”) is beginning to rule out the even remote possibility that Evolution either began on Earth or even occurred anywhere. Furthermore, the most recent developments actually seem to rule-in the possibility that there could be connections between the occult, computerization, sexuality and the material with the immaterial.
11/1/15, “Cyber-crime now getting easier to execute".  Refer next item.  
11/1/15, "Cyber Criminals need little computing knowhow".  A concern expressed in a media discussion. On 15/1/15, UK PM Cameron said encryption services in banking make international money laundering of proceeds from Crime difficult to monitor. He wanted to put some controls in place but business leaders said if he went ahead they would simply uproot and go elsewhere (Babylon-Shinar?). The compare on the programme asked, “Is there something more sinister here?”
We ask if this is another reason why Babylon will have to establish a new world financial regime as per Zechariah 5:6-11.  The image in Zechariah 5:6-11 shows a lump of lead weighing down the scales signifying financial corruption. So it is not surprising that Babylon, or Babylon’s masters, uses corruption to re-establish its corrupt hold on World affairs.
12/1/15, “The Hour for Questions”, was the headline in a Major French newspaper in the immediate wake of the Charlie Hebdo Crisis. People need to ask a lot of questions of the Establishment, its Status Quo and Institutions which are failing to answer a whole host of important questions.
13/1/15, "Buddhists and Hindus in Sri Lanka get excited about the Pope".  Based on report he is heading for Sri Lanka.  This bizarre report smacks of the growing ecumenicism now emerging with gusto. (Refer also to 10/2/15). The Pope arrived there after the election of a Buddhist PM.  We know from Teillard de Chardin’s synthesis that the Papacy and the Buddhists are seeing common ground on the Cosmic Forces. Such terms allow them to merge their systems in loose federations but this report suggests Hindus also coming on board.
Buddhism emerged out of Hinduism in the 6th Century BC. So the extent of this rapprochement is unsurprising. The harlot religion this ecumenicism finally morphs into gets its totally unexpected and surprising denouement as per Revelation 17:16. 
13/1/15, "Kurds in North Syria kill Chechen ISIS warrior".   Report from one of the battles Kurds fighting in Syria.
16/1/15, “A disaster of Biblical Proportions”. In a discussion about some peace talks somewhere. The exact location is not in my notes for some obscure reason. A commentator warned listeners of the implications if the talks fail. The term “Biblical Proportions” was used to describe flooding in England in circa 2004-6. Areas of England once left vacant of housing had been built-on and surprise-surprise, because they were on flood plains, they were flooded after heavy rains. The disaster was the result of irresponsible planning. So this author wrote a press release via an agency on the Internet (“PR-GB”) rubbishing the claim they were of “Biblical Proportions” on the basis that if that were true no one would be around to comment! This is an excellent example of the loose language that now pervades discussion and debate.
17/1/15, “Son of a Tunis-based Jewish Rabbi”, reported to be among hostages killed in the siege of a kosher shop in Paris during the Charlie Hebdo (“I am Charlie”) massacre of journalists and satirists. (Refer terrorist raid, Tunis museum, 18/3/15).
20/1/15, "Five suspected-terrorist Chechens (Gogites) arrested in France".  Along with other irems like this, it seems the Caucasus is a breeding ground for many terrorists.  That would support the view that the region (Eretz h'm'gog) is somehow a ring-leader in events leading to Ezekiel 38:1 to 39"16.
21/1/15, “The Antichrist”.  The topic raised in a conversation with a member of the public at work. Speaking to a tourist who turned out to be a Greek woman. Without any prompting from me, she quite matter-of-fact spoke about what she believed was his influence in the world. We had been talking about Greece’s financial woes. However, she put The Rapture during The Tribulation. Interesting note on millennial and eschatological thinking in a country on Europe’s border with the Middle East.
27/1/15, "Large asteroid passes 1.3 million km away from Earth".  There is plenty of debris out there.  It is amazing we have not seen more of this sort of thing.  Actually, as Velikovsky shows, since circa 800 BC we have in fact been mostly free from attack from thee inert dangers in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, the Kuiper Belt, the Ort Cloud or from the Cosmos in general.  
8/2/15, "Abdul Malik (Amalekite) rebel leader in Yemen’s Houthi coup d’etat".   By March 2015, they had taken control of Sanaa the capital and Aden looks to try and go independent once again. Iran is accused of supporting the Houthi. In Hebrew, this name could be: “ יתואה ” (The Sign of God?).  But note the Iran-Amalek link with Abdul “Malik”. In March, Bibi Netanyahu, Israeli PM, in a speech to US Congress, will link Iran’s ambitions with the Persia of the time of Esther but does not appear to explicitly link that with Amalek as the Bible requires.
9/2/15, “New Zealand sending military trainers to Iraqi war effort”, according to a foreign TV station news report. The New Zealand Government had not made any announcement and would not do so until late February 2015. Thus, NZ would become one of the “80 Flags” of Muslim eschatology. At present only 60 nations are on board. (Refer, 22/9/14, 26/2/15 and 26/3/15).
9/2/15, “The Devil arrives to destroy Iraq”, is a script line in an Iraqi TV spoof on ISIS operations in Iraq. Another example of the chaos and millennial mentality gripping Middle Easterners (or Middle Westerners as viewed from the East). However, any sensible-, dispassionate-, reasoned-discussion, -debate or -analysis of the matter is rigorously banned in the West and East as the Roman Fasces determines what can or cannot be discussed viz., on Radio Talk-back shows, in churches, in Government or in universities etc. Shades of Orwell’s three protagonists in 1984. Oceania (The West or Tarshish) allies with the Far East block against the Eurasia block perhaps reflecting the essentially materialist and secularist West and 21st Century China now likewise persuaded to accept 100% Materialism together with power-house economies Japan and Korea where so-called “Christianity” although ‘popular’ is highly segmented or compartmentalised from actual life. In a March 22 TV interview, an expert on Mr Putin believes he wants a return to a more moral and traditionalist world view. However, other studies of Mr Putin show that he took power then, quite unethically or immorally, demanded a share of the oligarches’ spoils which the latter had effectively sequestered from the re-organisation of the former Soviet Empire’s resources. By doing this, Mr Putin had himself become extremely wealthy and, really, just another Oligarch. But it is difficult to verify such claims one way or the other. How much is propaganda etc., as Orwell warmed? One could argue that untrammelled or unrestricted expression of views or opinions, or debate, leads to the sort of chaos rivetting the Middle East. We cannot win at either extreme nor in the centre between the two extremes. Another result of Adam’s Fall.
10/1/15, “Destroy the Beast”.  Elderly English tourist’s reference to fighting the Nazis on a TV travel programme. But the statement probably related to the Antichrist hype that abounded during Hitler’s rise to power. Of course there was no way Hitler could be the Antichrist because “Adolph Hitler” transliterated into Hebrew came nowhere near the numerical value of ‘666'. But now we do have such a name that also equates with a Biblical title for The True Christ or Messiah. The name of the child we are observing means “Majesty-King of Kings”. This child’s first or ‘given’ name means “Majesty” in its Latin pre-cursor. The surname, is a combination of two words for ‘king’, one each from the Eastern and Western ends of the former Roman Empire. One need not be an expert in probability analysis nor statistics to realise that such a combination of names adding to 666 when transliterated into Hebrew from the Latin equivalents, is at the very least a strong clue to identity The Antichrist. However, at present (May 2015), caution advises against revealing the person should he not actually be The Antichrist. It would e a serious matter indeed if someone took that information and proceeded to attack he child (now teenager) or his family and associates. This may all just be coincidence.  But the world and nearly everyone in it is in such a mess that the Antichrist, judging by Biblical Prophecy, is not far away at all.
10/2/15, "Zamalek (Amalek), an Egyptian football team".  Previously in the news (9/2/15) in association with riots. Oddly, the reporter pronounced it “Gamalek”. The latter is interesting because in Hebrew “Amalek” beginning with the letter ayin (ע) is transliterated either as A (or Aa) or nG (‘G’). So the name of the team is Amalek which is the beginning-to-end enemyof God amongst the nations according to Exodus 17:16. But the name seems to beprominently proliferating in modern times viz., Al Maliki the recently retired Iraqi Prime Minister who is now universally discredited as a trouble maker after nearly ten years running Iraq. A PLO (Foreign?) Minister is named Maliki. A murder in New Zealand was recently committed by a man named Malik. A young supposedly 14 year old Palestinian girl with the name was “arrested” by Israel for throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. In a TV interview (14/2/15), she seemed to speak so eloquently (and in English) that it became rather obvious she was considerably older or more mature than “Fourteen”.  The interview looked to be staged.
10/2/15, “Group set up to reconcile with Rome”.  Overheard at waterfront cafי in Wellington.
10/2/15, “There are so many conspiracy theories”. Alo overheard at waterfront cafי in Wellington.  Could neither hear nor put in context the intervening discussion points between the two young women. It seemed like they had some sort of church affiliation. A good example of things people are talking about but are also rather shy about. If current Argentine or Silver Pope [i.e., Mr George (Gog) Mario (mariolatrist) Bar (son) Gog-lio Lion of Gog?] is The False Prophet, he will be preparing the way for the Antichrist. That presages a massive ecumenical movement to unite religions (refer 13/1/15). Such comments could make sensible context in the terms of our eschatological model but point to the ever vigilant need to be careful with interpretations. Revelation 17:16 explains the final denouement of the world church they were talking about.
11/2/15, “The (Westphalian) state system under challenge by ISIS/ISIL”.  This according to a Wellington university professor speaking on a radio programme.  He did not mention Westphalia but that was implicit from his aside that the system had been around for the last 350 years.  
12/2/15, "Large meteor strafes Western North Island of NZ".  A reminder of the little meteor that probably killed a motorist in South Otago. And a reminder of a meteor that strafed North Russia circa 2013. These events are not necessarily, particularly or especially, out of the normal - so far. The main interest in these pages, in such events, is that they may be early warnings of Ezekiel 39:6, “I will send fire on ...them that dwell carelessly in the Isles”.
14/2/15, "Chechen and Cossack mercenaries participating in Ukraine crisis."  They appear to be armed with (stolen?) Russian weapons.  But whose side are they on in the crisis?  Apparently they are against the Russians (24/2/14, “End of the Russian Empire”.
14/2/15, "A World Unifying Event”: (Refer also to 28/5/15, “FIFA in for serious shakeup.”) This claim refers to the World Cup soccer tournament in 2022. It will be in Qatar-Babylon.  Interestingly, the putative Antichrist child will be 21 at the time. (Refer26/2/15). This putative Antichrist’s Step-Father, per other reports, may well return to aformer high-status job that will in all likelihood see him being invited to that World Cup.  It will be interesting if this child and, or, his Step-Father, attend. Indeed, it will be interesting if, at the time of the 2022 World Cup, or even at the “World Unifying Event”, the child, by then a 20-year old adult, actually turns out to be the 666. As this paragraph was being edited (9:55 am, 23/3/15) a very encouraging piece of news emerged on the air waves for the putative antichrist’s step-father. It suggests the latter will be back at the prestigious helm he had to vacate a few years ago (for entirely legitimate reasons).
As far as we can tell, the Step-father will be back in his previous helm in time for the 2022 World Cup in Babylon. An Arab spokesman for the organising committee, garbed in flowing Arabic robes and headpiece, spoke impeccable English at a very fast but clearly audible clip. Obviously well Westernised and trained, he could regurgitate all the right jargon. He sprinkled his monologue with “General reforms, evolutions and developments”. This doublespeak was in connection with workers’ rights and conditions. A later discussion (28 May, 2015) revealed that a worker dies on Qatar’s stadium construction sites every day. This spokesman continued chatting on about the “strong unifying power of football” and a “Big Bang” of new labour reforms. As a sort of Obiter Dicta here, we could add the following. The over-archingl Philosophy behind trends and developments in Sports in the last 50 years; especially in world football, the world’s clearly wealthiest game; and to a lesser extent in World-Golf, -Tennis, -Cricket, -Rugby etc; is to prepare the world for a parallel spiritual-vacuum-filler. The Grand Ecumenical Church will complement, supplement or be an alternative spiritual-vacuumfiller for those who ‘hate sport’. But novels, music and art will have their place in this exercise to fill that spiritual void in the world’s population that only The One True God can fill. Only Jesus of Nazareth can be a Godly and Good “World Unifying Person”.
14/2/15, “Winning Asian Football Cup, only thing that can unite all Iraqis”, apparently, and only for a day, it would seem!  Such slim pickings on offer here!  In a world beset by terrible and complex difficulties, only the profane can bring a solution even if very, very short-lived. By May 2015, after the fall of Ramadi in Anbar Province (c.f., 22/8/15) to ISIS/ISIL, the Sunni-Iraqi dominated city did not want Iraqi-Shias coming to liberate them because Sunnis and Shias seem so philosophically or theologically far apart from each other. A real divide if ever there was one!
16/2/15, "Libyan (of Put-Punt) militants siding with ISIS/ISIL".  That a ccording to a news report. At the same time, about 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians were beheaded by an ISIS/ISIL group.
16/2/15, “Come and live in Israel”, exhorts Israeli Prime Minister when Jews in France came under threat in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo Cartoon Affair. A Jewish kosher food shop in Paris was concurrently invaded by a couple of Muslim terrorists.
16/2/15,  “Israel is your only true safe haven”, Bibi Netanyahu added in previous item.  This is interesting.  If heeded to any significant extent, it might explain why so many Jews can be cornered by Antichrist as Armageddon and Bozrah-Petra roll on.  However, before that, the First Gog-Magog Invasion takes place and it does seem from that prophecy that many in Israel will respond properly or positively toward God (Jehovah) then.  Whether that goes as far as accepting Jesus or is just a matter of apostasising from their agnostic or atheistic attitudes, but falling short of turning to Jesus, is a moot point.
17/2/15, “Go after the ideology and prove it wrong”.  Someone urging the world to tackle ISIS/ISIL in non-military ways. Of course this points us to an important roots to the problem. They are the failures in both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres of their Materialist, Evolutionist and other ideologies that ideologically turn off many of these ‘Muslims’. Christians could sympathise with some of the sentiments and evident unhappiness amongst these groups allied in some way to ISIS/ISIL and other movements.  But Christians have, to some extent, just submitted and meekly accepted being trammelled by these ‘isms’. However, no longer do Christians see any point in violence and war. Furthermore we see that these problems are the inevitable consequence of Adam taking of the Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge. There is a logical conclusion to all this strife. The Bible predicted this strife and tells us why all these things will eventually happen. This Christians endeavour to explain what is hapening. We do not seek to use violence to out a break on inevitable trends though we may, and should, attempt to ameliorate some of the side effects. Our message can bring understanding to these problems. But we cannot force people to listen to us. Socalled fundamentalist Muslims think otherwise.
20/2/15, “Cossacks (so-called ‘Russian-’) soldiers in East Ukraine”.  Apparently,  one even coming from the far-eastern city of Vladivostok which was originally part of China in earlier times. More evidence of Caucasus nations’ involvement in ‘Russian’ affairs.  They appear to operate, albeit behind a Russian mask, much further away as far as Yemen. As the Bible says in regard to Gog (Gogasus Mountains) being the Overlord of Moscow and Rosh-Russia, such reports do not seem at all insignificant. Of course, we must be careful with our analysis even so.
20/2/15, "Persecuted Han Chinese flee North Burma-Myanmar". This was after persecution according to reports.  But the mostly Buddhist country of Myanamar is riven with several ethnic difficulties after the British border-setting in 1947-8 during the break-up of the Indian Raj. The borders in the Asian Sub-Continent (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Bangladesh, Assam, Sri Lanka, Maldive Islands and Burma-Myanmar) r are another Westphalian (deliberate) botch-up! One World Government Plan appears to put them all back together again as they were at the height of The Raj. In may 2015, at time of editing this piece, Muslim Rohina minorities were fleeing Burma-Myanmar and heading for Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
20/2/15,  "Ukrainian President:  'Debalseva is a Moonscape'”.  Said after shelling and fighting over this East Ukrainian city. Echoes, or even is, the name “Beelzebub” which is the demon the Jewish leaders invoked when rejecting Jesus of Nazareth. This ‘chief demon’ was also picked up in the world wide Number One Queen song-hit Bohemian Rhapsody. Sometimes dubbed in polls as the World’s best modern song, its lead singer was the very disturbed former Zoroastrian Iranian Freddy Mercury (the Nebo in Nebuchadnezzar’s name). Mr Freddy Mercury (the surname a.k.a. in ancient literature, Nebo) wrote, “Beelzebub has a devil set aside for me”. Brian May the band’s lead guitarist wrote in a Queen Rock Opera promotional booklet (read by this author circa 2004) that he thinks he knows what Freddy was getting at with the Beelzebub reference but wishes to remain silent about that for now! Elsewhere, I comment on the parallels between the Opera’s plot and my decoding (2004) of the meaning or significance of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari in Egypt and the meaning of the queen’s title; “Hat-Shep-Sut”.  There were several parallels between their rock-opera’s story-line and my History-line.
21/2/15, “Ukrainians are (artillery-) shelling themselves”. School-teacher in pro-Russian East Ukraine complaining about Ukraine army bombing its school a secondtime in a week. They had just repaired the damage from the first shelling. Another “Nation against Nation” incident (c.f., Zohar Chadash , Bereshit Rabbah, Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Luke 21:10 and viz., II Chronicles 15:6, II Chronicles 20:22-3, Isaiah 19:2).
21/2/15, “It is a religious War”, claimed an Apache community in Arizona opposing the Rio-Tinto-Zinc “Anglo-Australian” mining company desecrating its ancestral lands.  Apaches claim the issue is about their ‘spiritual heritage’. Compare with comments below for “Thirty Years War” (26/2/15) and “Separating Mind-sets” (8/3/15).
21/2/15, "Nation-states on the “way out”: ‘Oligarches’ take over".  Suggests the following issues need consideration:
• Will Ten Oligarches become ten kings or ‘presidents’ ruling the world?;
• Why national, regional and local governments are going bankrupt, or are being deliberately bankrupted, with ever-narrowing tax bases but widening responsibilities for solving hopeless causes like Global Warming, controlling Internet fraud etc; 
• The UN’s impotence and constant internal bickering and strife in UN committee rooms instead of doing something to stop wars and fighting around the world;
• Why the world situation in 2015 is being deliberately inflamed to prove the UN and national governments or government associations like the EU and NATO are almost absolutely hopeless; and
• Why the many wars (or rumours thereof) abounding are being deliberately allowed to fester to introduce the new governing regime (NWO?) of Ten Nations.
24/2/15, Men more cautious than women re Hi-Tech advantages.  On a TV programme panel, two men and a woman debated the advisability of a new  ‘teaching and learning’ Internet-Computer-Mobile Phone-I/Pad Application (“App”). The woman was 100% gung-ho in favour but the men w ere cautious and warned of undesirable or unintended consequences.  Here we see a refrain from  the ‘woman in the Garden of Eden’seeing the Tree of Knowledge as a delight to the eyes and desirable. Very interesting to watch in light of the connection of the @ or “The At Sign” and what we have beenwriting about concerning Mankind coming “nearly full circle” back to the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden and implicitly getting back to the Tree of (Eternal) Life somehow or other via genetic advances. Therefore, we ask, “will God intervene”? Will God’s Hand be forced as a 19th Century French Chemist (source of quote lost) suggested God might one day say, as we investigate the very building blocks of Life, “Gentlemen, time to shut up shop”.
26/2/15, “The older I get, the less I believe it”. A reference to the Bible by a panellist on a radio discussion. A good reason why Ezekiel 38:23 will be necessary! Another point here is that although in the days of this invasion the world seems to have by and large written God out of any equation in this world’s affairs, the impact of this invasion will have another interesting side effect. In Ezekiel 38:17, we read “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them”.  It seems, much against the prevailing trend or tide, people will be returning to their Bibles to ask this question. The ‘he’ here seems to be Gog. So some people think Gog is an individual or a leader’s title but the statement; “Gog and The Land the (or those) with (mem or ‘m’ i.e., ‘with’ or ‘from’) Gog”; suggests it is a name for the tribes or nations leading the charge, and conspiring the conspiracy or “making mischief”. But the fascinating thing here is that the text actually quotes a future generation asking a question. This generation asks if the information that had been written in circa 600 BC refers to their day in the future. The tenor of the question suggests this generation is surprised that it should have to be look back to what by their era is a 2600 year old Bible text.  Do they really have to go back to their abandoned Bibles for answers to their now very dubious-looking future. If we are indeed on the verge of this massive invasion of Israel (now looking very much imminent in May 2015) that little exchange recorded by Ezekiel 38:17 confirms questions about a terrible crisis as is described in the prophecy will most definitely arise. [It also raises the possibility that the Rapture has just occurred at that time which means there will be very few, if any, people around to have any real idea of what the Bible contains in its volumes let alone be able to figure out what they mean.  Look at the problems we have today with Biblical Interpretation in the Churches!]  To assist, we have a blog up and running so that people googling for answers might well come across our material and so they will turn to their Bibles. One would hope they might then change their minds (repent) about other messages in the Biblical texts.
26/2/15, “Another Thirty Years’ War”. Comment on a local radio station. The speaker retraced current Muslim crises to Horns of Hattin victory of Saladin (probably a Kurd) over Crusaders and Knights Templar. Saladin cleverly lured them into a trap a la the Roman Legions in Germany’s forests circa AD 6. Saladin’s victory led to a prophecy of “80 flags” one day coming up against the Flag of Allah (refer 22/9/14, 9/2/15 and 26/3/15). The US-led group of 60 countries to combat and counter ISIS will fuel that particular fire of self-fulfilling prophecy.  Of course this is false prophecy but that is not confined to Islam!   Refer Special Note on the Role of Prohecy and its Interpretation and addendum next:
Addendum
This happens with all false prophecy. Unfortunately, it drags the baby of true prophecy down the drain with the false prophecies from Nostradamus to modern Shiitism.  It should also be noted, according to many commentators, the Muslim crises of 2011- had origins in events ensuing from September 2001. Thus, at this half-way stage (May 2015 at time of editing c.f., & viz., “2001-30"), 2030 stands to be an interesting year in “Another Thirty Years’ War”. We could even use this time-frame to test our “Model”.
Furthermore, on an entirely different front, The Internet of Google (Gogle) will have become a “mind in its own right”, according to pundits and IT Gurus. Also, in AD 30, the putative Antichrist child literally will be “about thirty” (29-30). That was the stated age of Jesus, from Luke’s Greek (literally and usually translated) in his Gospel, at the start of His Ministry. But Jesus was actually 34, or so, when He began His Ministry. If we have the correct identity in view, this “Antichrist” will be approximately the same age as Jesus, as literally stated (emphasis added), in Luke’s Gospel at the beginning of The Son of God’s Ministry.  Jesus set out to convince Israel to welcome Him as the bearer of The (Millennial) Kingdom of God. 
This antichrist will literally be in his thirtieth year if he starts his ministry or rise to power in AD 2030.  Unless some earlier unveiling occurs for example at the 2022 World Football Cup described as a “World Unifying Event” (Refer 14/2/15) when he will be Alexander the Great’s age (21) as he started his conquests and adventures. Anyway, whatever, Jesus was 34 when he started Ministering, Preaching and Teaching. Actually, Luke’s Gospel seems almost to set up the basis on which the antichrist could counterfeit Christ’s (Human) life-plan. Indeed the Gospels may well have been written in such a fashion so as to allow for such deceptions.  Virtually everyone these days says Jesus was 30 when He started preachi ng and 33 on the Cross.  Actually He was 37 or the sane age Isaac was at Mt Moriah quite possibly near the spot where the Romans crucified Jesus.
If one wanted to emulate Jesus’ career, but being a counterfeit all the same, “Age 30" would sem to be precisely the age that the public would expect. Two millennia of false, or certainly slack- or lax-teaching in Christendom using Luke’s “About Thirty” complements our thesis about God designing a system of coding within the Biblical text. The true bees would (or will) recognise it.  The rationale here is twofold. Firstly, to encourage us to dig deeper and secondly to send the hounds or vultures off on a false trail or to chase a false or imagined fox. The dedicated, seriously believing Bible student will look into these possibilities and perhaps read between the lines with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to receive the true Wisdom. That can be achieved by anyone diligent enough to study the Scriptures including in the original language (Hebrew for the Old Testament). We are not referring here to some Mystic or Gnostic Experience. No, its mostly hard work and attentiveness!
To help grasp the points made her, readers should look at the analysis we do linking Simon the Pharisee with Simon the Leper and Lazarus, along with the two women who anointed Jesus’ feet.. That also helps us to decode the mystery of the two men named "Lazarus" in the Gospels. The parable about Lazarus may have been a slightly cheeky aside about Simon the Pharisee or Simon the Leper and something of an in-joke between Jesus and the believers who know the Word the Devar just like bees (devorah) in a hive.  But there was an important theological point to get across even so.  (Refer Blessing 11Riia, Lazarus I & II, Simon Pharisee/Leper, 2 Women, Ex 1:11 & 4:8)].
Another example would be the work we do explaining Exodus 4:8.  Or, there is the analysis of what Genesis 4:1 really says.  There is the analysis of what exactly the Tree of Knowledge of God and Evil was.  Also refer to Appendices document “Key Discoveries”. 
28/2/15, "Scottish ex-UK Army soldier volunteeris with Kurds' army".  He was helping them to hold their battle lines against ISIS in Iraq.  We note Iraqis just fled but the Kurds stood up against ISIS. [In May 2015, at Ramadi in Anbar Province (refer 14/2/15) in West Iraq the official Iraqi army just fled in the face of a mere 500 ISIS/ISIL fighters though other reports said the army had not received the necessary supplies to maintain resistence or to hold the city. The main point here is that the “West” (i.e., impotent Tarshish-NATO) slowly acts, to say the least, in delivering support to the Kurds. Hence the young Scotsman’s actions.
4/3/15, “Ideas of Millennial Caliphate ... absorbed by ‘susceptible’ minds”, according to Australian Prime Minister.  Also, about the same time, an Iraqi academic said, “When one (i.e., ISIS) destroys the Millennial Culture of Iraq one therefore destroys the country”. He was talking about the desecration of archaeological treasures in the “13th Century BC” ancient city of Nimrod.  These are two ways in which the term “millennial” appeared in discussion. One might ask, “Is Millennial Thinking” making a comeback? (Refer Appendix M3, 21st Century Perspective of Christendom and Millennialism). From our “Model for the Interpretation of Biblical Prophecy”, the probably none-too-deeply-Theologically-astute Australian Premier betrays a complete ignorance of the real implication of current international strife. The ISIS/ISL Crisis might actually be part of the prelude to the chaotic situation of the Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 invasion of Israel. That ‘Chaos’, to many Muslim minds, is a sign pointing to the imminent arrival of the Messiah-Mahdi to restore “Order out of Chaos”. The problem for Muslims is that their plausibly correct feeling in their bones is undone by the mess in the rest of their personal theologies. More likely, it is the imminent Rapture and ensuing Tribulation that Biblical Christianity points to that is really at hand!
4/3/15, “Iran’s influence in Mid-East is growing”, noted by American army officer.  Comments expanded to apply to “Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon”, all once part of PutPunt-Tyre’s hegemony in Biblical times. In Esther 1:14, “Tarshish”, part of the hegemony of ancient Tyre, was a “prince” of the Persian Empire.. This suggests parts of Tarshish were either under the control of the ancient Persian Empire or the Persian kings claimed suzerainty over those lands. Hence we can explain why modern Persia-Iran considers it has a role to play in the governance of Syria, Lebanon and even Libya. Depending on the precise extent of the region actually known as Tarshish in ancient times, or on ancient maps, we might soon get a better idea of the boundaries of ancient Tarshish and how they changed or moved over time as its peoples also moved, migrated or re-settled. This is particularly relevant to a better understanding of the Ezekiel 38:1- 39:16 invasion of Israel. Another problem, ironically putting Israel and the Arabian Peninsula emirates into the same bed together, there are fears that the US might weaken its pre-conditions in talks with Iran about nuclear power intentions. The Israeli Prime Minister (returned to power in mid-March 2015 elections) is getting worried about Iran’s rising influence. He even delivered with a speech a direct complaint to the US Congress a few days before his re-election. That did not go down well with USA President Obama.
8/3/15, “Separate overall ‘Ideology’ from ‘mind-sets’ that vary from sub-group to sub-group” (c.f., 22/9/14).  An ‘on-the-spot’, brave, Mid-East journalist observing crises in Libya, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria. The comment reflects the infighting a la Fruchtenbaum’s comments on Zohar Chadash above. Also comment earlier on 17/2/15, “go after the ideology and prove it wrong”, stated in a discussion about what to do to combat ISIS. Reflects vast, wide and deep ideological gulfs and chasms abounding in the World these days.
8/3/15, “The West opposes Islamic democracy because Muslims want to liberate Palestine”, according to a young Briton fighting for Al Nusra in Syria.
8/3/15, “All roads in the conflict seem to be leading to Ukraine, Why?” Question posed on TV panel analysing Ukraine Crisis. But is that ‘road’ really leading to “Israel” not “Ukraine”? The European conflict may actually be part of the: “Evil Thought” (Ezekiel 38:10). This ‘Cunning Plan’ (literally in Hebrew “mischief a mischief”), Diversion, Feint, Finesse seems to be designed to keep NATO/SEATO (Tarshish and her young lions, Ezekiel 38:13) off-guard and mesmerised by surrounding events. The device also catches off-guard, or impotent, the nations of “Sheba & Dedan” which seem to refer to the Arabian East Peninsula states i.e., Emirates, Oman and Muscat (see Ezekiel 38:13).  Although other factors may be at play, Tarshish-NATO-SEATO appears to become completely incompetent to do anything to prevent this invasion of Israel. The many distractions facing Tarshish explain its impotency in Syria, Libya, Sudan and Yemen.
9/3/15, “Barefaced murder in the heart of Russia”, according to Muscovite speaking about the assassination of leading/senior Russian politician Boris Nemtsov. Also emerged that initial suspects arrested were Chechens and Kazakhs (Cossacks), or Gogites in our analysis. On one hand, especially if the arrests are bogus or injudicious, this reflects Russia’s paranoid over Chechens and Georgians. On the other hand, these arrests demonstrate the overlordship or dominance Gogites have over Moscow (Meshech), Rosh (Russia) and Tubal (Tbilisi, Georgia; or Tubalsk, Siberia?). These places are all mentioned in Ezekiel 38:2 where Rosh translated ‘chief’ in some versions (e.g., KJV) = ‘Russia’. [c.f., גוג ארץ  המגוג  or “Gog Land ‘The With Gog’” above].
9/3/15, “Governments failing in their duty”. The opinion of families of victims on the mysteriously missing Malay airliner MH 370. We say this is evidence that Government which is the ‘he’ who restrains the “mystery of iniquity” (II Thessalonians 2:7) is being removed or re-organised into a Ten Nation-Ten Kings (G10?) system after the failure of the Ezekiel 38 Invasion of Israel? This new system is being prepared under the cover of the failing World Government a.k.a., The United Nations and via various trade negotiations, APEC’s and OPEC’s etc. NB; much else to support this hypothesis but an interesting perspective on the matter from one of the oddest enigmas of the modern world especially because it happened in a sector with so much fancy ‘technology’ that is supposed to be able to keep track of an object’s whereabouts. The technology seems to work most of the time. Why not this time?
14/3/15, “Greece wants to sequester German Assets to help pay its debts”. This Greek clash with Germany might add another incentive for Germany to exit the EU and join Russia. Spain, Italy and Portugal, and possibly Ireland, perhaps have some sympathy with Greece. They all have bad national debt structures and like Greece are largely in hock to Germany. With the UK’s forthcoming referendum on Europe, these countries’ difficulties might well be a catalyst for a breakdown of the EU. One should also note, the “EU” is now constituted under the “Treaty of Lisbon”. The former and founding Treaty of Rome is now technically or officially annulled. Perhaps after the Ezekiel 38 Invasion chaos there will be initiatives to formalise NATO as the North Atlantic Tarshish Organisation (NATO) as we are already labeling it. It might change from a purely military alliance into a political and economic alliance.
Addendum
The formalisation of this entity, or otherwise, may happen either after or in preparation for the fulfillment of Exekiel 38 Invasion of Israel. No matter which way “Tarshish and her Young Lions” eventually materialise or formalise, most commentators on the Bible fail to understand a very important Biblical Code that we apear to have uncovered in regard to Jesus’ statement “I am the Alpha and Omega”. This code involves many Biblical events.  For a list, consult my document in the 3_D Aleph-Tav Bible Study Appendices “J FirstLastEvents”, entitled: “First-Last Events in the Bible” [Aleph (א) or First and Tav (ת) or Last]
Elsewhere the author describes how he stumbled across this possible method to analyse and interpret certain Biblical passages. It seems the Bible is not only filled with couplets in the more poetic books of the Bible such as Psalms but also with couplets of events.  They are listed in the document above. Most commentators merge the “Gog/Magog” invasion of Ezekiel 38/9 with the invasion in Revelation 20:8. Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum in Footsteps of the Messiah takes a notable departure from this view and likewise sees these as two distinctively different events. The author follows his lead here but takes the point on to another level. That came from a recognition that “Pithom and Ramesses” (Exodus 1:11) were not ‘two cities in two different parts of Egypt in the same era as Moses but two cities on the same site in two different eras’ (Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses and the Winged Disk of Judah). The Hebrew letters Aleph and Tav also form the word “sign” in a modified way in Exodus 4:8, 8:23 and 12:13 and only in those three verses! Additionally, in Zechariah 12:10, תא appears in the text translated as “The One Whom” ... they pierced. With these examples we can deduce or infer that the H’at” in Hatshepsut, Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia, was the Queen of the South of whom Jesus said received just “One Sign” and obeyed God’s Word to go up to Jerusalem the capital city of the land she called “Punt” or God’s Land. Assessing these things, we began to develop the idea of this First-Last Code in the Bible’s History and Prophecy.
One now feels the “idea” can now be accorded the status of “Hypothesis”. As part of this particular hypothesis we are formulating the theory that parts of the Bible could thus only be understood at the “Time of the End” as Daniel 12:4, 9 etc suggest. To try to understand or interpret certain passages before that final stage of the era of Man up to the Millennium, was a futile thing to do. Equally, it remains a futile thing to do if we are still a long way from those particular “Last Days”.
So, at the moment, we infer the First (א) Gog/Magog/Caucasus-led Invasion of Israel is recorded as prophecy in Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16. Therefore, there must be a Second or really “Last” (ת) such invasion. The latter (Hebrew acheron) will be at the end of the Millennium. It is recorded in Revelation 20:8. That invasion is led by Satan when he is temporarily released to organise the Last Ever Rebellion against God at the End of the Millennium when he (Satan) organises his invasion of what will then be Messiah’s Jerusalem.
15/3/15, “Serbs and Croats joining fight in Ukraine”. Serbs are mostly supporting pro-‘Russian’ rebels. Croats are mostly supporting pro-Ukraine mercenaries. The fightingis officially in cease-fire mode as at March 2015. These ‘South Slavs’ might be among the “Many Peoples” of the last line of Ezekiel 38:9.
18/3/15, “ISIS attackers kill about 20 European tourists at Tunis Museum”. Tunisia a.k.a., Puntisia in our model, has hitherto been mostly free of ruction and strife since the euphemistic ‘Arab Spring’ blossomed out of Tunis and out of the contretemps between the authorities and the merchant who self-immolated in the market square there. Tunisia had about four similar incidents since 2002, though many other countries could probably claim that. However, Tunisians saw this attack as being in the heart of Tunis-Carthage.  The attacked museum is very close to the Parliament. In Tunisia, a new Government and Constitution emerged quite civilly after the Arab Spring, which, we should remember, began with that shop keeper or merchant in Tunis City (or even Carthage one could say metaphorically). The devastated Moorish merchant had been evicted without reason from his traditional store in the bazaar. An ironic incident considering Carthage’s great trading and commercial history where everyone came to the hill called “The Byrsa” from which we get words like Purse, Bursary and Bourse. We can see this as being an attack against Tarshish and her young lions, in the heart of Tunis (c.f., “heart of Russia” in 9/3/15).
18/3/15, Panelists on TV interview sum up problems in Mid East, Syria and environs:
• (1) The challenge from ISIS/ISIL represents “a breakdown of the (we say ‘Westphalian’ ) state system”;
• (2) A battle for Iraq from a US and EU perspective. (Really the Battle to set up Babylon and eventually the new world financial system based on Zechariah 5:6-11); and
• (3) Regarding what they agree is the intractable Syrian Crisis(Began in Deraa -“Tyre”, 15/3/2011): 
• (A) There has to be cooperation support and agreement amongst top players like USA, Russia, China and EU;
• (B) Then regional powers like Iran, Arabia and Qatar have to be on board but they have powerful agendas of their own; and
• (C) Bashir Assad or, alternatively if Syrians themselves so organise things, a ‘Syrian’ Regime without Assad has to come together with the rebels to work out an agreement.
The Panel generally concluded any Agreement is a very long way off; e.g., “ten years from now”. We would ask if the terrible inaction that is obvious for all to see is not itself deliberately engineered by powerful interests behind the scenes. They are really rearranging world affairs (a NWO?) and using these crises, or even fomenting them behind the UN and other staged platforms as catalysts for their secret ends. Their primary objective may well be the establishment of the Antichrist’s dynasty in Babylon (South Iraq and top half of the Persian Gulf). These developments appear to be painting a picture siumilar to that in Biblical Prophecy where Ten Kings arise. However, the Little Horn, i.e., The Antichrist or the Eleventh King of Daniel 7:8 (and Revelation 12:3, 13:1, 17:3, 7, 12 and 16) then emerges as the boss of the Ten. 
19/3/15, “Iranians all over Iraq supervising the struggle against ISIS/ISIL”,   A warning from a Mid-East commentator.  Possible prelude to Iran’s role in push against the “Mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 38:8) on Israel’s “West Bank”. That region, along with “The Gaza Strip”, is being pencilled-in for the so-called ‘Two State’ (‘Israel-Palestine’) solution for the Palestinian homeland.  Really, Jordan is the Palestinian State according to the original partition plans by the world body (Great Powers, League of Nations and United Nations).  Ironically, two months later, in May 2015, EUFA wanted to replace FIFA’s Sepp Blatter with Jordan’s Prince Ali Hussein to clean up corruption in FIFA. But what is far more corrupt is the way Jordan was given to the Hashemites in the 1920's as compensation for losing the Hejaz to Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdul Rahman Ibn S’aud who was aided by the Americans thinking they knew best about what to do in Arabia.
19/3/15, “At war with this barbarian minority”, said Tunisian PM after Tunis Museum attacked by ISIS/ISIL.
20/3/15, Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcanic eruption then Hurricane hit Island in Vanuatu Group. These other disasters reported after Cyclone (Hurricane) Pam hit the island.  About 90% of Vanuatu was flattened five days before.
20/3/15, “Is this another ‘End of the World Event’”?, asks prominent national radio host discussing the solar eclipse that will be seen over Faeroe Islands later that evening (NZ time). He regularly invokes such nonsense yet never allows anyone who cam properly explain what the Bible really refers to as ‘The End of the Age’. That is more to the point.
22/3/15, “Abdullah Ecolan calls for peace between Turkey and the Kurds”.   Currently imprisoned in Turkey, he made this call via some rally lobbying for his release by Turkish authorities.
22/3/15, “Islamic State Hacking Division seeking to identify US soldiers fighting them”.  They are threatening to find, capture then hack (chop up) these soldiers to death. Authorities doubt the threat to get into Army computers is realistic and that most of the information they may obtain will have come from social media which, of course, enters the Ether via the personnel themselves.
23/3/15, “Growing divide: Germany versus Greece re latter’s bail-out”, according to regular European contributor to NZ National radio programme.  Postscript May 2016:  Christine La Garde told the Europeans that IMF believes EU cannot expect Greece to repay all its debt without better repayment terms including some write-off.]
24/3/15, “West African Governments etc., failed to act on early stages of Ebola outbreak”.  Statement by a young British doctor on an aid programme. Another II Thessalonians 2:7 issue, c.f., discussion in 9/3/15.
23/3/15, “Thank you Jesus .. The Good News of (Name of TV programme) ..”“.  Those were excerpts from a collage of quips we hear on a radio advertisement on a station allied to a TV Station in New Zealand. In this obvious piece of subliminal advertising (please excuse the oxymoron here) the trailer advertises the ‘Tenth Anniversary’ of the popular Prime Time Television Show. Ostensibly journalistic in intent, the programme also tends to personalise the host. The programme bears the host’s surname in the title.  Another example, as immediately below (25/3/15) of a vehemently anti-religious host on one hand denying the possibility of God but on the other cynically using the Bible’s “Good News about Jesus” to promote his own personae, career, philosophy of life, world view etc.
24/3/15, “A human eruption”, and “My God, did that really happen?”, was  how two commentators described the last ball bowled in the semi-final of the World Cup Cricket match involving New Zealand and South Africa. On the second last ball the New Zealanders snatched a seemingly doubtful victory with one all-or-nothing strike.  In unison, the crowd jumped off their seats in obvious delight. Nearly everyone was talking about the event most excitedly, and with much emotion. For example, “This is something special in the history of New Zealand”, (if only New Zealanders could be made to study history properly). “We screamed, cried, hugged and danced” but they have no interest in glorifying God for all the things He has done! Or, when a Melbourne commentator spoke about the relative prospects of the rival Australian and NZ finalists in the World Cricket  Cup in Melbourne, he said, “Melbourne is the Sporting Capital of the World”. Some people even admitted that they were unable to watch the last few moments with the tension being so great. A sort of national hysteria exploded. In itself, this is not necessarily a bad thing. But as one e-mailer (“Andrew”) to a radio host wrote, “I am concerned about the Glorification of a mere sports event”. The radio host said over the air, “Get a life mate”. A few minutes later a caller said, “Andrew is a Tosser” and “Many people feel happy and uplifted by all this (cricket)”.
25/3/15, “There will be a hole in my life where the Cricket World Cup used to be”, according to radio personality who said the Bible is make-believe (literally “made up”).  This seems to be a classic picture of Tarshish’s “young Lions” who are the winning teams in the tournament with the main Mother country for Cricket (England) long since ousted from the tournament perhaps because her best and brightest are out there trying to solve world problems either as doctors (24/3/15) or as soldiers (11/11/14 and 28/2/15).  But the personality’s comment reveals a typical vacuum in people’s lives which we recognise as ‘spiritual’ so they have to fill their lives with a regular diet of sensation (despite Mick Jagger’s dictum). That may be in the form of some sort of contest whether it be in sports, entertainment or political debate which is also often entertaining or even prurient. If they do realise they need something a bit deeper; as with this particular personality who has said he has no religious instinct at all; it will be in something like Buddhism. That is more of a philosophy which is why Buddhism appeals so much to these people who are determined to insist they are not religious!
26/3/15, “...and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD”. In response to the last three items (23/3/15, 24/3/15, 25/3/15), it is perhaps timely here to insert this bit of prophetic news from the last verse of Ezekiel 38. In order to wake people up before the really, really big troubles come, God will use the forthcoming Invasion of Israel to stun the world into re-thinking its attitudes to The Word of God via The Bible. By reading chapters 38 and 39 up to verse 16 one learns exactly how the world will be stunned! 
Addendum
It is also useful to note at this stage that many prophecies came to fulfillment on the eve of Christ’s First Coming. The same principle is thought to apply to the Second or Last Coming. Thus, there will be a rapid escalation of prophecies coming into fulfillment in a rising crescendo or cascade of events. We seem to be witnessing the beginning of this rising tide now. Certainly, it is our responsibility to warn the world of this possibility. Some of the things we see in these pages are almost certainly pre-cursors of the rising tide of pre-Second Coming events. However, like threads in a tapestry, the full picture only becomes clear close to, or at, the finish. Before the Doomsday Book was written in England in the Eleventh Century AD, the Bayeux Tapestry was woven to depict the Norman (Norsemen’s) Conquest of England in 1066 AD. A comet, probably Edmund Halley’s, is depicted in one scene. Since 1030 AD marked the end of a millennium of Christendom, people were beginning to wonder why Jesus had not returned by now. Four centuries previously, an Arab named Mohammad raised this question amidst a sea of theological corruption. He saw it amongst Jews resorting once again to Astrologicalinquiry (see “6th Century AD” synagogue floor mosaic at Beit Alpha in Israel). Mohammad saw religious corruption in the icons and idols in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. By 1066 people began to think Christendom had to re-capture Jerusalem for Jesus. So an inventory of England and other nations had to be taken to raise tax to finance the Crusades. Within two centuries, that escapade had proved to be an utter failure so a Renaissance of thinking began to assert itself (in the West). But that foundered in a new era of chaos until The Reformation where theology was Reformed.  That only led to about 100 years of wars based primarily on theological disputes. The fighting ended and the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 set forth a new basis for Governance. That ushered in the Enlightenment that led to the mass secular, humanistand evolutionist world that generates thinking and statements like those in the previous three items. Now God appears to be setting up the Prophecies of The Last Days. The author expands on points made in this endnote in 21st Century Perspective of Christendom and Millennialism in the 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Study Appendix M3_Millennium_Christendom.
26/3/15, “Saudi Arabia massing troops on Yemeni border";  and
20/3/15, "British and American military advisers & trainers already withdrawn from Yemen”.  Also, Shiite Houthis about to take control of Aden City, last base of anti-Houthi alliance. (Refer 5/5/14, “Chechens killed in firefight in Yemen”). Another commentator later in the day observed that the USA is fighting with the Saudis in a proxy war against Iran in this Yemeni theatre but is fighting with Iran in Iraq and negotiating with Iran over the nuclear deal. This only serves to show that the situation is getting so complex that it is becoming contradictory and irrational.  But from God’s perspective it is anything but that! In Ezekiel 38:4, God says he will put “hooks in their jaws” and pull them towards the Mountains of the West Bank of Israel.
26/3/15, Sixty, Seventy or Eighty Nations (Flags) against Allh?   Above, we discussed the Islamic Prophecy about the “80 Flags” that will come up agaisnt Allah (refer 22/9/14, 9/2/15 and 26/2/15). In that Muslim prophecy, it seems that the battle is a sign of the arrival of the Mahdi or Muslim Messiah. This parallels the campaign of Armageddon that precedes Jesus of Nazareth’s return. So we know where the Muslim prophecy comes from. It is a distortion of Biblical Prophecy spun and woven to fit Islamic theology. As part of the Feast of Tabernacles, ancient Israel slaughtered seventy bulls.  It is thought they did that as a sacrificial salvation for the Gentile nations. This seems to be inferred from the fact that Gentile nations in the Millennium will have to send delegations to Jerusalem at the Messianic Feast of Tabernacles. So in that view there were seventy nations. At present, the USA is organising “about 60" nations to coalesce in the fight against ISIS/ISIL. The Muslim prophecy is for the (near) future. Thus we have here an example of the three elements (Past, Present and Future) of the HistoryProphecy Continuum that we decsribe as part of the Aleph-Tav History-Prophecy Events recorded in the Bible.
26/3/15, “Yemen is a really divided country”, noted TV news compare. These countries that will invade Israel will find themselves killing each other as writes Ezekiel 38:21, “every man's sword shall be against his brother”.
26/3/15, “Full scale war now in San’aa, Yemen”.  Description by announcer on TV news programme showing film of damage done by Saudi Arabian jets that strafed and bombed Sana’a for some time from about 1:00 am on the 26th of March.
27/3/15, “That Pope is a wonderful man”. Said by a journalist quoted above who previously said the Bible is “made up”. [Postscript: This radio journalist made a similar comment on 27/5/15]. He was brought up in a nominally Roman Catholic household. What prompted the statement was a news report a minute previously on the radio station programme he was hosting. The News item said that the Pope had opened the Sistine Chapel to the local poor and he went into the arena to meet, mingle and chat with them. At another time this journo had said if he were going to choose any belief system it would be Buddhism. That of course ties in with trends we are observing in Ecumenicism between Roman Catholics and Buddhists in particular but with other groups too. We seem to be heading towards a Nebuchadnezzar-type scenario and the statue everyone had to bow down before. If that particular journo can effuse over a Pope then perhaps this Argentinian (or Italian masquerading as one) with a name echoing Gog and Mariolatry has all the correct qualities to be the Antichrist’s False Prophet and Herald!.
27/3/15, “The root of the problem is Middle Eastern terrorism”. This is the conclusion of a commentator on air safety in the wake of the crash of the German airliner (an Airbus) which appeared to have been deliberately flown straight into a mountain in an apparent murder-suicide. The pilot who crashed the plane appeared to have a serious case of depression. In the wake of 9/11 and the Twin Towers Tragedy, airlines developed door-lock systems for airline cockpits to prevent terrorists getting anywhere near the plane’s controls. In the German plane, the co-pilot used the system in reverse to deliberately lock out the other pilot after the latter went to the toilet at the plane’s rear.  The commentator concluded these new cock-pit systems had become “too secure” so they may have to back-track somewhat and find more flexible systems. One aspect of the Ezekiel 38 invasion is that the language suggests the invaders’ weapons arsenal is of a lesser standard of technology than we currently observe in conflicts. If developments like this crashed plane and possibly if the missing Malay airliner MH 370 had likewise been crashed somewhere in a similar situation there may be mass avoidance of air transport. Perhaps we are witnessing the development of a situation where air travel has become too risky. Has mankind been down that track before?
27/3/15, “The Cold War between Saudi Arabia and Iran is heating up”. This was the headline for a TV news item as the Saudis began bombing the Houthis’ strongholds in Yemen. An opinion expressed was that “this crisis would escalate”.
27/3/15, “Saudi Arabia using ‘shock and awe’ tactics to bomb Yemen”. These were the words of a Tehran-based Iranian professor asked to comment on the Yemen crisis with two other panelists. He referred to earlier American uses of the term.  He added that the GCC is bombing the true defenders of democracy in Yemen. He saw the Saudis and GCC members as “family-based dictators” autocratically ruling their lands whereas Iran and Yemen are trying to be democracies. (We note he did not mention the Israeli democracy). He later invoked Israel as using tactics akin to shock and awe in their suppression of Palestinians. The Iranian claimed the Yemen President, who called on the GCC to assist, did not have legitimacy because he was a stooge of the USA and Arabia. Apparently, (we are unable to confirm here at this point), that President had been elected unopposed. Furthermore, he had unilaterally extended his Presidency for an extra year in contravention of the agreed or pre-arranged political discussion and dialogue that was to be effected. [We think that Iran may have some legitimate points here but then what is wrong with constitutional monarchy viz., families, as Arabia and the Emirates, and, dare we say, Great Britain also believe? All this shows just how many arguments in this world are getting incredibly complex, complicated, convoluted, multi-faceted etc. They are too unmanageable for mere mortals to cope with, so Satan’s Antichrist will emerge to bring his form of control. That will be characterised by absolute dictatorship and ruthless enforcement of his will. Also, many rows that erupt around the world today may in fact be fostered by satanic activity, for all we know, but when Antichrist takes over, Satan will restrain his dogs of strife to make the Antichrist look wonderful. Antichrist will then move to meet his primary objective to complete Hitler’s plan to eliminate Israel!]
27/3/15, “Arabia exporting Wahabisim”. Thiat was the claim of the aforementioned Iranian University professor. This time he was commenting on Arabia’s involvement in various Middle East Crises. The Wahabis were famous for leading the near-suicidal charge against Riyadh nearly a century ago. They were a crucial factor in Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Saud’s conquest of Riyadh and The Nedj in the early 20th Century.  Abdul Aziz was the father of the last few Kings of Arabia: Saud, who was deposed by Feisal, then Feisal himself until his assassination, then Khalid, Abdullah and now Salman.  Then with the help of America and oil, the Al Saud went on to regain hegemony over the Hejaz and consequently over much of the Arabian Peninsula (Arabia Felix). The Al Saud traditionally had been masters of The Nedj, since the 17th Century. Abdul Aziz’s conquest of the Hejaz with American connivance, forced the Hashemites of Mecca and Medina (Midian) into exile. With British assistance these Hashemites re-located in a new kingdom based on land holdings in the Palestinian or Arab segment of the Mandate which Britain and France inherited after WWI in the wake of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. This state was then re-named “Jordan”. In the 1930's the region had been earmarked for the non-Jewish Palestinians. This complicated nonsense and stupidity is part of the web of complexity that gives all sorts of options for regimes, authorities, powers and principalities to cause trouble. Which raises the question: “Who really is behind these many troubles besetting The Three Quarters of the compass (North, East and Suth) around Israel?”
27/3/15, “Wahabisim is the ideology of ISIS and al Qa'ida”. Revealing comment, if precise and true, from aforementioned Iranian professor. He added that Iran, the USA and Arabia jointly agree that ISIS/ISIL is evil. He also observed the complication of Arabia exporting Wahabism only to end up fighting those who adopt a Wahabi-like persuasion. What it is about Wahabism that ISIS and the Houthis and al Qa'ida apparently believe (or disbelieve), but then also makes them look so bad, was not made clear or elaborated. However, it may have to do with the aim of Wahabism in Arabia which is to bring about strict and devout adherence or observance to the laws and rules of Islam. That explains why there are no Christian churches in Arabia, apart from in Western Compounds therein. It also explains why, reportedly, there are no (or few) women motorists in Arabia. We have seen the dead kings of Arabia being buried in inconspicuous graves without tombstone or any other marker to reveal the site in accordance with Wahabism. Does that worry the proud leaders of other Muslim states one wonders! There seems to be some concern about Who will introduce (or reintroduce) International Sharia Law. Perhaps Iran, Arabia and Turkey believe they should be the New Caliphate which should be administering Sharia Law not ISIS in East Syria and West Iraq. Much of this debate seems to have something to do with the enforcement of Sharia Law first of all within the Islamic Arena then ultimately over the Whole World.  Furthermore, isn’t Iran perhaps amenable to Wahabism? Iran was forbidding women to attend men’s football matches. All this reveals the problems Islam has, like Christendom had when it tried to rule governments (e.g., England 1642-9), when they twist their theological knickers in a knot. These religionists can no longer see the wood for the trees. This is precisely the aim of Satan to get everyone so confused that his son the Antichrist will seem to be the only saving option. That will be the outcome of rejecting the True Yeshua (Saviour).  
27/3/15, “Resolution to the Yemeni Crisis may pave the way for a Syrian Solution.”  Fond hope of naive former US Defence Under-Secretary. Illustrates the fast-becoming antiquated theories of the modern secular, materialist and evolutionist mind.
28/3/15, “Israeli and Arab Governments suspicious of Iran”. Comment made in regard to nuclear talks between US, EU et al with Iran over the latter’s intentions regarding development of nuclear energy and possible additional objectives of developingnuclear weapons. But no one has ever demonstrated how these ‘nuclear’ weapons work except under the extraordinary conditions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There the Americans flew a laboratory around the skies for hours before releasing the delicatelyengineered timing device that actually engineered the fissionable Uranium238 into a sufficiently critical mass to generate the required effect. So these nuclear talks are really just part of a much wider fiction where Iran, USA, and all the other countries are mere pawns in a much more complex game. But what exactly is that Game?  True disciples of Christ see through this smokescreen. But we would not be surprised to find out that “Sheba and Dedan” of Ezekiel 38:13 turn out to be the Iran-opposing countries of the Persian Gulf.  [Postscript:  Dedan or D'dan may be a corruption of Eden.  By March 2016 we one was considering an idea that 'Sheba' as an administrator;  cofirmed by the Hatshepsut situation and by various uses of the term sheba in the Old Testament;  may refer to the Emirates which are not full kingdoms as such.  The same might apply to Saudi Arabia which is currently an official 'Kingdom' but from the Biblical Scribe's perspective the Saudis are emirs or shebas rather than kings.  Since the oil under the Gulf is ancient Eden we may here have the real meaning for this region.  By 2016 it was becoming even clearer that Israel, the Saudis and Emirs were in sympathy with each other if not in unofficial alliance.  A wide range of commentators was looking at things that way].
28/3/15, “Argentine Silver Pope Gog Mario Bar Goglio Appoints Pedophile protecting Priest to Bishopric in Chile”. This pope is not as “good” as some people may think. He actually heads a counterfeit form of Christianity. Actually, the reformers who founded the Protestant Movement ejected the worst heresies still practised by the Vatican. The latter is really only a pale shadow of a true counterfeit. The best counterfeits look very much like the true version. If the Antichrist can be represented by the metal ‘Gold’, as kings are; then silver may well represent the false prophet to that Antichrist. (The first two empires of Daniel’s four that would dominate the Times of the Gentiles, were represented by Gold then Silver). This current Roman spokesman for a false religion or counterfeit Christianity who is adored even by secular radio journalists and others i.e., The Argentine Pope, fits that test for The False Prophet very neatly
Addendum
After considering the Argentine Pope might be the putative False Prophet to theAntichrist, the author then asked, “Might he call for a crusade against Israel”? If such an alliance of nations as is mentioned in Ezekiel 38/9 actually respond to his call, then he would have to find common ground between Muslims, Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians and other factions to achieve a decent force. However, if, as his name suggests, he is the Gog of Ezekiel 38/9 then how is he the overlord of Moscow and Tubal and the “Rosh” or Russians? The ‘Eretz H-M-Gog’ that stands alongside Gog could be a reference to countries ( literally “Land”) ready to listen to any appeal for support that Gog (i.e., the Pope in this model) makes. The Vatican’s very recent recognition of the Palestinian State on the West Bank of the Jordan River, not on the vast tracks of land on the Jordan’s East Bank (“Jordan”), shows the Pope suddenly swinging closely in favour of the so-called ‘Palestinians’ illegitimate rights. If he advocated Jordan being give to the Palestinians in accordance with the League of Nations’ Mandate that would be correct, legal and fine. Unfortunately, the Pope is on the side of those who short-change the Palestinians. Either way, we now have two attractive arguments in favour of the hypothesis that the great invasion of Israel as envisaged in Ezekiel 38/9 is on the way.
30/3/15, “Mapping the ocean floor to sense what might be there”. Words of a New Zealand Energy Minister referring to seismic surveys being conducted in the search for oil. But the special relevance of these words applies to Jeremiah 31:37 where God says He will only abandon Israel if the ocean depths can be measured or, effectively, mapped (see also 20/12/13, 29/5/14 and 2/4/15). So here we see oil again coming into vogue in world affairs through the need to search for more of it.  If any is found near places like New Zealand or outside the Middle Eastern Muslim World, it will be relatively expensive oil to produce, refine and market. But that may not matter in the reckoning of some who are desperate to do anything to escape the clutches of Babylon’s cheap and clean oil.  But it makes a convenient excuse, or surreptitious cover, for further sea-bed floor mapping. The search for the missing Malay airliner MH 370 off the Australian coast of the Indian Ocean could also be relevant here as the world tries to measure-up remaining areas of un-mapped sea floor (refer Addendum to this note). The suggestion here is that another sign of the End of the Era or Age is on the way.
Addendum
 They may also be interested in monitoring volcanic activity on the sea-floor of the southern Indian Ocean. Larger and more forceful waves have been detected crashing up against the Antarctic Ice Flow. Shelves of ice jutting out into the Indian Ocean apparently support the main ice cap on the land mass. If those shelves are broken or damaged, the main ice cap could slip into the ocean. It all shows just how unstable the ice caps are. Modern science will have to quickly re-think its theories. As a general point, it seems that in practice several objectives are needed before any project goes ahead.  Two or three objectives may make the project’s value only marginally profitable but a third or fourth objective can often be just the catalyst to set things in motion.  When one popular objective is announced, the others; especially if some are more dubious, ‘bluesky’ or risky; then can sneak through with finance and go ahead. The publicly stated main objective may then even be subordinated or even shelved in favour of the others but the public will never get to see the information that shows this to be the case
30/3/15, “Warriors in Syria fight common enemies and amongst themselves”.  Statement on TV panel which added that this situation could go on for “another fifteen years” or by AD 30! That comment raises rather interesting possibilities or connections. That year happens to be the 2000th anniversary year of the Church of Christ. Furthermore, it happens to be the target date for the Internet system to become a “mind of its own”. It will also be the 30th year of the putative Antichrist. That is the age at which Jesus supposedly began His Ministry. (Though we know Jesus was 34 at the start of His Ministry). Will our putative antichrist be the one who actually settles the Syrian dispute? The commentator also noted that every group in Syria such as al Qa'ida, the Assad regime, ISIS and Al Nusra is equally undesirable.
31/3/15, “It takes thirty years before ... something has become ‘History’”.  And “The Academy now generally agrees that it takes this thirty years to happen”. The discussion was in the context of a review of President Obama’s foreign policy legacy.
31/3/15, “Saudis blame Houthis for hiding soldiers amongst civilians in bombed refugee camp”. Innocent civilian victims were killed by Saudi Arabian jets strafing a camp thought to be housing Houthi troops. This is exactly the same problem Israel is blamed for re Palestinians in Gaza. Now the Arabs are doing it too! One of the nastier aspects of the Muslim theology that encourages the sheltering of soldiers amongst civilians. The British outlawed this sort of nonsense after terrible results in their 1642-49 Civil War.
2/4/15, “Eighty-five percent of (terrestrial) volcanic activity is on the sea floor”.  That came from an interview with an IGNS scientist on NZ radio. Underwater volcanos pump out smoke full of tiny mineral particles which get dissolved in sea water. Enormous mineral wealth is gathering on the sea-floor of NZ’s “Offshore Estate”. That territory is ceded to New Zealand under the Law of the Sea Conference. This “wealth” justifies expenditure on ocean-floor mapping which could be a disguise to embark on the challenge in Jeremiah 31:37 (see also 20/12/13, 29/5/14 and 30/3/15). Environmentalists will have no chance trying to frustrate that plan if that is indeed A Plan of Babylon.
6/4/15, “Materialistic Culture is no longer making us happy”. Instead, people are now looking to experience to satisfy themselves (or their souls we might say). Conclusion from author of a book entitled Stuffocation. That author in an interview then referred to “ancient wisdom”. But promptly mentioned Aristotle in his next breath. Another rejection of the Bible and again in favour of Greco-Romanist myths re society and mankind.
6/4/15, “I love stuff ... and Materialism”. A woman talking on radio about her “love of Materialism”. The tenor of her words suggested she was not aware of the true definition of “Materialism”. Her comment betrayed one of those typical mistakes many noneconomists make between “Capitalism” and “Consumerism”. These two excerpts also demonstrate a typical divide between Men and Women. The latter are far less at home discussing Philosophy. The man’s point above is on the money to use an ironic metaphor, whereas the woman is unaware of exact definitions and longer-run implications of what she is saying. A reflection on the woman seeing the Tree of Knowledge being “desirous” and “pleasant to the eyes”. But the man has and had an inbuilt sense of the problems of knowledge in the wrong hands and without a Supremely Good and Just Tutor. The Man realises material stuff does not help in the long run and only displaces Man’s real need for a healthy relationship with his Creator Who is Immaterial.
10/4/15, “The World System, internationally, is being judged”. Comment by UN refugee spokesman on national radio station following the ISIl/ISIS takeover of the Yamulka Camp of Palestinians jammed in the outskirts of Damascus. The camp, originally set up just outside Damascus, got overtaken by the city’s growth or suburban expansion since 1948. However, because of this development, the Camp now sits astride an important southern highway in and out of Damascus making the camp a strategic target for anti-Assad forces, in this case ISIS/ISIL.
10/4/15, “Someone must have influence over al Qa’ida, ISIS/ISIL, al Nusra etc, because they are getting weapons from somewhere”. Continuation of comments by UN Refugee spokesman above. If we are indeed on the way to the rise of 666 with Satan and/or his agents preparing Antichrist’s way in advance, then we may well know who that “someone” is!
25/4/15, “New Global Order in World Trade and Finance Called for.” Suggestion at an ASEAN conference.  Another Zechariah 5:6-11 moment?
24/4/15, “Hong Kong Shanghai Bank (HSBC) considers move away from London”.  But where would it go? Back to Hong Kong or Shanghai? Described as a British bank, that would seem unlikely. However, if, as new evidence is emerging, London together with Paris and Rome was founded by “Trojans”, or Chaldeans as we know them in these papers, who were driven out of Iraq by the deserts then Perhaps Nebuchadnezzar held sway over nations as far west as Britain in 600 BC. Thus Babylon’s reach might yet attract HSBC back to the Shinar region and begin a trend to fill up the office towers and residences in the Babylon region of the Persian Gulf. The HSBC threat was in response to a British PM David Cameron policy plan to put more disciplines on banking behaviour, practice and protocol and to generally tighten banking rules. Before the GFC, in circa 2004-7, the US put constraints on US merchant bankers and capital traders. That was to London’s advantage which then collared a lot of extra business which otherwise probably would have gone to US merchant banks. But the GFC sank banks on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in the far north (Iceland). One might argue that Britain copped it worse than the US. But whatever is going on, one would be best advised to use Zechariah 5:6-11 as one’s guide for information or illumination.
24/4/15, “IMF, World Bank, BIS - no longer Relevant nor Useful”. Another comment picked up in context of two preceding items on a new global order and HSBC’s intentions.
24/4/15, “Chilean Volcano now disrupting life in Argentina.” NB: the home of the Argentine or Silver Pope. If this is what one of the Fifteen Percent of volcanos above the ocean surface is doing what are the rest of the undersea volcanos up to? (Refer 2/4/15).
26/4/15, “Mohammad Abdi Malik (M.A. Malik = Amalek) organiser of illegal asylum seeker boat crossing the Mediterranean now in Italian Jaill.”   Here is a rather explicit example where we see how Amalek is now messing around in the former hegemony of Put-Punt or ancient Tyre’s strongholds. Satan is described as the “King of Tyre” in Ezekiel 28:12. When Moses was to strike the rock (Exodus 17:6) to provide Israel with water, the word for ‘rock’ is the same as that for Tyre which in ancient times sat on the rocky island off Lebanon’s coast. Moses’ strike at the rock in Exodus 17:6 applies to Satan striking the heel of the Messiah according to the prophecy of Genesis 3:15. There is an obvious message in the coding of the language here. The terrible Amalekite-like behaviour in Libya, for example deliberate executions of Egyptian or Coptic Christians, must be observed, understood and put into context with Biblical prophecy. For example, in Exodus 17:16 we read, “The Lord will have war with Amalek from Generation to Generation” (i.e., until Messiah’s Second Coming). Otherwise these observations just seem bizarre and people simply turn off and ignore what is happening. Which is all to Satan’s long term advantage. A few years ago, a man named “Redha Malek” ruled Algeria before being turfed out. Mr Al Maliki ran Iraq after the demise of Saddam Hussein. The initially preferred choice of the Americans, Mr Al Maliki only seemed to set raqi off against Iraqi or Shia and perhaps Kurd against Sunni. The current Palestinian Foreign Minister, if one is not out of date here, is surnamed “Malik”. [Refer 20/12/13 (mishlakhat malakei roim), 26/6/14 (Almaliki), 10/2/15 (Zamalek)].  
26/4/15, “Salvation will come from Russia.” According to the leader of a Russian motor bike gang. He and his mates want to motor through Poland on the way to Berlin to celebrate Russia’s defeat of Nazi Germany on the eve of the 70th Anniversary of the end of war in Europe (1939-45). They claimed to be Russian Orthodox (or ‘Third Rome’) Christians and apparently had Putin’s blessing. But with events in Ukraine as they are, the Poles were very nervous about letting them into Poland a notably Roman Catholic (or ‘First Rome’) country. We note that Putin apparently assured Israel that a new temple had to be built for modern Israel. But we are not sure of the context of that statement.  Putin may have been referring to the Biblical point that under Messiah Israel will indeed receive a new temple that God approves. Or perhaps Putin imagines he will be an influence in getting the task completed. The Antichrist will approve and prepare the way for such a construction. The zany theories of the Roman churches (Rome, Constantinople and Moscow) could lead them into all sorts of unbiblical adventures. A theological comment from a Russian motorcyclist with Putin’s blessing makes an interesting read and reveals just how inflammable the world situation is right now.
26/4/15, “Controlled chaos being used to foment world problems.” Additional comment from the Russian motorcyclist mentioned immediately above. Apparently, the Americans have this motor-cycle gang leader on their sanctions list because of his involvement in the Ukraine crisis. Sergei Markov, who once had involvement with the Russian embassy in Wellington, said on a later broadcast (at time of writing, 10/5/15) that US Secretary of State John Kerry installed into power the Ukraine President who is leading the country toward the West,. But the TV interviewer told Markov he had no evidence for such a claim. All this shows there really is a lot of nonsense being claimed and counter-claimed in all these events. The nonsense is so bizarre and nonsensical that one must once again conclude the hooks are being inserted into the jaws of these nations ready for God’s intervention leading them to destruction on Israel’s West Bank mountain tops.
26/4/15, “Poor Governance iarrier to successful eradication of Malaria".  Especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Further evidence of the decline in government world-wide as Apostle Paul warned would happen as Antichrist came to power. Also evidence of the need to burn all material the (Cushite especially) hordes of Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 cart with them to Israel’s West Bank.
26/4/15, “Architecture is like God because you create things.” Statement on a TV programme on the subject, c.f., 13/2/14. The world seems to disbelieve God yet wants to act like God.
7/5/15, “There is no place to go ... whereever I go there is war.” A fifteen year old Ethiopian girl in a refugee camp in Misrata (= ‘From Tyrus’), Libya. She hopes to cross the Mediterranean to get an education in Europe because, as she also said, “I want to be a doctor yet I do not even know the alphabet”. A strange comment perhaps reflecting the need to learn a Latin alphabet for a European language rather than Amharic or Arabic.
9/5/15, “...The thing is that it is a type of Creation Story .... then there is a catastrophic event.” A reference to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony on a TV programme about the music. The commentator went on to say that “the entire blueprint of everything from atoms to galactic clusters” is expressed in the symphony. If only these people would see that the Bible is the document (or music) from which to see or understand these things. People need not rely on a musical symphony to understand Creation.  Though music obviously does attest to God’s creativity indeed even to the beauty of the music Satan composed before his fall. But this is the state of the world which entirely ignores God, apart from the Pope and Muslims who think they are listening to Him or that He listens to their prayers. They steadfastly refuse to accept God’s key conditions or terms under which He will communicate. The Pope misinterprets Jesus’ comments in Matthew 16:18 addressed to Peter at Mount Hermon. The Muslims reject Christ as God, as Saviour and Great High Priest. Muslims merely give Jesus of Nazareth, The Messiah or Christ, the status of a prophet whereas, as a prophet, He is The Prophet, the One and Only Prophet that Moses referred to (. In particular, the World, the Pope and the Muslims do not listen to what God is saying in the Creation Account.
Adddendum
The comment here was interesting for its reference to both Creation and Catastrophe. When Beethoven wrote music, geologists, scientists and other thinkers had always considered the accounts of catastrophe in the Bible and other ancient writings in their formulations of hypotheses. In the wake of the French Revolution (1789-), the Doctrine of Uniformitarianism took hold. After the chaos of that revolution, the idea that change is a slow almost imperceptible process became popular. Furthermore, that social and political change should be likewise. This new philosophical paradigm provided a platform for the idea of Evolution. However, the Bible obviously has the Earth’s recent history beginning with a catastrophe after its initial perfect creation some time before.
The catastrophe which caused Genesis 1:2 to occur was Satan’s rebellion probably billions of years before the re-formatting of the globe to prepare for the animals and plants now here. Also, the earth was rescued from its isolation in the vast reaches of space far, far away from the galaxy clusters we now see. God brought the earth, from a place in theuniverse (Space) where no light could reach and back into a galaxy, among all the other galaxies where the Earth would have been before Satan’s Fall. Thus Earth was reinstalled within a cartwheeling arm of our present galaxy well away from its crowded centre. God placed the earth revolving around the sun with a moon likewise circulating the earth so that the sun and moon could then regulate the seasons and, in effect as the Hebrew meaning seems to very strongly imply, to define and measure ‘seasons’. After Satan’s Fall, the Earth became dead, dark and chaotic (Tohu and Bohu). That state of the earth in Genesis 1:2 was not an intermediate condition before God could turn it into an inhabitation. It once, and from its very beginning, had been an habitation but for Spirit Beings otherwise called Angels. In Genesis chapters one and two, God describes how He restored the Earth but into a different non-mineral regime from that inhabited by angels. From this perspective, which seems to be a much better reading of the original Hebrew text in the standard Masoretic Text, all life on Earth now is composed of dust that was the detritus from the destruction of the Mineral Earth Satan fell from.
So there was an original Creation of a Universe without imperfection. It became (Hebrew, haytah) imperfect from the Fall of the Angels. The Earth’s physical material was pulped in the destruction. That ‘pulping’ crunched all the precious stones and metals that formed the dwellings, or ‘Mineral Garden of Eden’ of Ezekiel 28:13, or perhaps “sanctuaries” of Ezekiel 28:18. That was the First Catastrophe and it was mainly characterised in the Scripture by a flood of liquid water covering the solid Globe.
A Second flood (Noah’s) came as the next Catastrophe. Under the Aleph-Tav Principle used here we prefer the term ‘Last Flood’ for Noah’s Flood. It happened because of thedisobedience of both Man and Angel. The women gave themselves to the angels who procreated super-beings or “Nephilim” - pert human, part angel. However, after that flood there were other catastrophes recorded in the Bible. The Tower of Babel possibly is partly about some sort of catastrophe. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was another. Then the Plagues of Egypt were very devastating though how much of the world was affected is unclear. Some believe Israel was the only nation unaffected by the Ten Plagues. The Earth’s rotation was affected by something in Joshua chapter 10. There was a massive earthquake in the days of Uzziah (circa 800 BC). In circa 740 and 690 BC the Sun moved back and forth (or vice versa) by Ten Degrees. Not mentioned in the Biblical account, unless as a part of the Ten Plagues, the implosion of the island of Santorini in the Eastern Mediterranean or Southern Aegean Seas probably ranked as a catastrophe. It may even have been responsible for the demise of the so-called Minoan Civilization.
So “catastrophe” was very much a part of life in this world until the 19th Century when thinkers began to doubt those events recorded in the Bible and elsewhere had ever occurred. After all, nothing as dramatic as Biblical events (“Of Biblical Proportions”) has happened for a couple of millennia at least. Although Pompeii was buried by Mount Vesuvius and Krakatoa (late 19th Century) certainly made its mark on the Earth’s atmosphere. Many thinkers felt that events like Krakatoa were all that had happened in ancient times. So catastrophe has been watered-down over the last two hundred years.
Then in the 1960's Immanuel Velikovsky, and a bit later Fred Hoyle and colleague Mr Wickramsingh, brought catastrophism back into vogue. Stephen J. Gould also borrowed these ideas to put forward his theory of leaps in Evolution via a thing he called Punctuated Equilibrium. Gould understood uniform change over time but realised that did not explain the origin and development of everything we see. In Gould’s view, uniform change was inevitable and certainly occurred but in future it could be, or in the past had been, ‘punctuated’ by disasters, commotions or catastrophes.
Much can be written on this very significant issue but not here. But NASA is beginning to investigate Dr Velikovsky’s theories having rejected them out of hand for 50 years.  And discoveries in outer space are verifying Dr Velikovsky’s worrk on Catastrophe.
9/5/15, “A Battle Cry for Humanity.” A reference to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.  Sadly, Beethoven means more to people today than God does. Ezekiel 38:23 has something to say on that score.
13/5/15, “Wives spending All Day on I-Phones is breaking up marriages”.  A comment on radio talkback after a man emailed the show to say his wife spends all her time on the cell phone and ignores her husband and children. As Eve told her daughters, “Don’t even touch the Tree of Knowledge” which we suggest was a touch-tronic computer embedded in a tree. The second one touched it the screen came alive and one started consuming the information via the icons and film etc. That Tree of Knowledge came from God Himself. But in God’s plan, the Man would learn from God. The Tree presented Man with an option to learn for himself, by himself or with the woman but without the supreme Tutor. That was the choice Adam did make and our generation is beginning to understand the full consequences of that fateful choice. The woman saw that the tree was “a delight to her eyes” (Genesis 3:6). And now we have come full circle - at least in the household mentioned in this news story.
13/5/15, “People enslaved to I-Phones”. Article in a major Australian newspaper reported in discussion above. The writer went on to point out that these people are also “slaves to capitalism”. As an economist, this author would write, “a slave to Consumerism”.
15/5/15, “Corruption is the main threat to World Security”, according to a speaker on a radio discussion about the problem of governance in Afghanistan.  [Postscript:  UK PM David Cameron organised a major conference in May 2016 to discuss this very point and to try to arrange a plan to clamp down on world-wide schemes transferring illegal funds, stolen aid-moneys, drug moneys etc., via trusts, the Panama Papers Scandal etc; an issue that also blew up with major revelations in May 2016.  Both Cameron and US Secretary of State said that the wars against ISIS etc., were very much about winning hearts and minds lost because of widespread financial corruption world-wide.]  
14/5/15, “The only true healing thing in Life is Nature”. The comment of a Christchurch citizen during a radio discussion about a memorial set up to remember earthquake victims and the 2010-11 earthquakes’ aftermath. Such statements are an affront to God Who created the environment in the first place. But it was the disobedience of the angels that resulted in the instability of the Earth’s structure.  When God put the Man in the Garden of Eden, procreation would have continued in an enclosed environment safe from earthquakes and other (climatic) problems. But the disobedience of Adam meant that man had to be driven out of Eden. Now, 6000 years later, the true history of our natural, geological, atmospheric and archaeological environment is being distorted by Antarctic Science for which “Christ-Church” is the main international supply and administration base. Furthermore, for years, The Wizard has lampooned God in the City Square. Despite the warnings of Christians, has all that mockery finally been judged? A little later in the Quakes’ aftermath, there was the dismaying and unedifying spectacle of famously non-Christian people arguing for a restoration of the terribly damaged but “iconic” cathedral. The general population fretted after an “icon”. The true Christians still attending the cathedral’s services, said the “Church” is the people (The Body of Christ) not the building. The elders moved to scrap the dangerous and severely damaged building and build anew. However, it was only an independent commentator who was allowed th put the point on behalf of the Christians because the radio station involved has an informal policy of preventing any genuine Christian having a say on its airwaves. As we know, Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air (Ephesians 2:2). The Wizard, the Evolutionism, and cover-up of true science that Antarctic research is guilty of, and the worship of an iconic building, surely has resulted in judgement on a city that dares to call itself “Christ’s Church”. God can heal those who repent but Nature can only be harmful because it is so badly fallen, now, as a result of  two floods - Satan’s in Genesis 1:2 ad Noah’s in Genesis 7:1ff. 
15/5/15, “ISIS destroys archaeological sites in Nimrod (Iraq) and Palmyra (Syria).”  Although these sites are used, parallel to Christchurch’s Antarctica Base regarding false science, to falsify true history, it is pointless destroying them. We certainly repudiate these monestrous antics . Apparently, ISIS/ISIL is stripping the sites of heirlooms to sell on the Antiquities markets. Taken from their context the items sold will effectively lose any real value and it is unlikely they will find safe intermediaries to transact sales. Like the destruction of Buddhist statues in Afghanistan by the Taliban (ultra-conservative Sunni Muslims), ISIS/ISIL has a distaste for idol worship and that is certainly reasonable from a Christian point of view. Falsification of History and worship of idols or icons is certainly an affront to the One True God. But ISIS/ISIL affronts Godin a wide range of other ways too, especially denying what Jesus did for us on The Cross.
15/5/15, “Geo-Engineering refers essentially to Playing God with the Climate.”  From a radio interview with Mr Mackezie Funk an eco-Nutter and author of Windfall.
15/5/15, “New Trade deal allows multinationals to sue Governments".  This will be in situations where they face ‘adverse-to-profit’ legislation.”  A comment about the Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement being negotiated between most Pacific Ocean nations.  A similar agreement is being debated between North America and Europe.   The Agreement, being discussed in absolute (so far) secrecy, hopes to cover issues like pirating of software and IT products generally. More specifically, the radio discussion was about the US Senate suddenly making the way clear for the President to sign the Treaty unless a “blocking motion” comes from the (Lower) House of Representatives. The essentially masonic creature that is the US constitutional system seems to move suddenly when the real powers-that-be want genuine movement. So this may well be another signal that we are on the road to a massive re-formation of the world’s system of governance.
17/5/15, “We don’t want Masonic figures”.  A man interviewed for TV reporters on the street commenting on candidates for forthcoming Venezuelan elections.
20/5/15, “Cossacks and Banditos”. These were the names of two motor-cycle gangs that clashed in a Waco, Texas, restaurant. Several people in each gang died in the clashes. Waco, a few years ago, was the scene of a religious cult effectively committing collective suicide when ‘authorities’ tried to storm their compound to save innocents and avoid a tragedy. The irony here is that as Cossacks are probably fomenting troubles in the nations of the Three Compass Points around Israel (North, East and South), a gang with the name Cossack in Tarshish, the fourth Compass point, is causing a minor situation of strife in a town already the victim of weird theology.
23/5/15, “The ‘Middle Sea’, term used by Alexander the Great of the Mediterranean”.  In a film (Alexander) shown on free-to-air television about Alexander’s career from childhood to his death. Anthony Hopkins and Brian Blessed acted in the film.  In reality, that 'sea' would have been known as the Tyrian Sea or The Tyrrhenian Sea.
23/5/15, “Alexander the Great favoured Governance by City-States”.  He wanted them to become the means for lifting humanity out of the ‘cess-pool’”. Nearly two thousand years later, the European nations, with other groups no doubt there as observers, decided to get rid of city states, bishoprics, principalities (like Monaco and Wales) empires, leagues (e.g., the Hanseatic) etc., in favour of the nation-state with a capital city (the “Capitol”). The Bible tells us that eventually a World Government will redesign the world into ten regions each with a “king”. So the Life and Times of Alexander and his plans etc., were certainly an interesting template for world governance reforms in 1648 at the Treaty of Westphalia, after WWII with the establishment of the United Nations, World health Organisation and the financial trio of the World Bank or International Bank for reconstruction and development (IBRD), the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of International (Financial) Settlements. By studying these things in accordance with God’s His Story in the Bible, we can see what the true pattern and philosophy of History has been and will (yet) be like.
23/5/15, “Alexander the Great ended his career in Babylon (ditto 666)”. There is nothing new in this item.  But it is interesting from our study of the Antichrist-666 career because we liken or model expectations about his career to Alexander’s using the latter’s as a template alongside using the life of Jesus of Nazareth as a template. Strictly speaking, the Bible indicates Antichrist-666 being slaughtered by The Lord near Bozrah in modern-day Jordan. But it is thought that although Antichrist is a quintessential ‘Roman’ and certainly has a truly Roman mother, Antichrist will set up his base in Babylon. So Alexander’s strategy here certainly presages that of Antichrist. Alexander may even have thought he was some sort of Messiah and may have received this idea from Jews in Israel when his armies came through the Holy Land on the way to the conquest of Egypt. From our research in these papers, Rome was founded by Chaldean refugees from Troy as were London and Paris in all probability. A Roman returning to his ancestral home - Babylon - makes much sense! The film Alexander whence this observation came also noted Alexander’s fascination with “Tales of Troy” - a bit like Sir Winston Churchill and the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI.
23/5/15, “Alexander planned to defeat Carthage and unite Asia & Europe”.   More information from the film Alexander.  Such a plan again suggests Alexander was a pre-cursor of the Antichrist. The original Biblical passage concerning this entity comes from Genesis 3:15. Therefore adepts and sages of his day and age would probably be aware of the Bible’s prognosis here. Also, Daniel had given Israel significantly more information about the future world leader in circa 560 BC. Alexander (330 BC) would know about the four empires of Daniel’s prophecies. No doubt he manipulated the Jewish prophecies to suit himself. He had the power to attempt to influence history but not His Story. He never defeated Carthage and did not even begin to overthrow Tyre’s hegemony because premature death from alcoholism and the army life wore out his body/. If alexander were actually Zeus as the Egyptians tried to convinve him in order to make him more friendly to them then he must have wondered why his body began failing him in his early thirties. Any pretensions he had that he was a god or a god’s son would be rapidly disappearing s.o depression set in, he boozed more.  Eventually he fell into a stupor of malaria and alcoholism and kicked the bucket.
26/5/15, “We are assisting Evolution”. This arrogant statement about a ‘theory’ that really is only an “idea” or speculation came during a TV documentary about rescuing coral reefs from the supposed ravages of Global Warming.
26/5/15, “The DNA Book of Life”. The people saving the coral reefs above claimed they were building up a “DNA Book of Life”. They reject God’s His Story and even made references to Noah’s ark but their whole emphasis was on their Evolutionist, Secular and Materialistic World View. Just another sign of the wickedness and rejection of God by the generation of the Last days. Which is why God will activate the events of Ezekiel 38 culminating with the message of verses 22-23.
27/5/15, “That Pope Francis, he’s a Goodie”.  Same radio journalist repeating this sentiment in a slightly different  variation, refer 27/3/15. 
27/5/15, “Construction of the Ideal State before the Second Coming”. An Explanation of the motives behind ISIS/ISIL and a basis for its ability to attract adherents, according to a Deakin University Professor speaking on a national radio station. This comment encapsulates the common feeling from those who read the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Scriptures. The vast majority seem nowadays to believe it is our responsibility to establish peace of earth so Messiah (or Mahdi) can return. But fundamentalist Christians, and possibly Shia Muslims though in their case regarding their “Mahdi” (The tenth Imam), all believe the world stumbles into unmitigated chaos from which the Messiah (or Mahdi for Muslims) rescues us all. God rescued the world from the chaos of Genesis 1:2 and He will rescue us from this 21st century chaos.  Noah and his family was saved from the Flood. Lot and his daughters escaped the destruction of Sodom. In those examples, and others, God effectively had to save mankind from himself, from his own folly. Why the modern generation shoud think that it can save itself from its own folly when all previous generations failed is beyond reason. But people believe Evolution and the false Egyptian history beyond reason. So nothing’s new!
27/5/15, “ISIS: 'We can explain why the way things are'”. The Deakin University Professor as above explaining the raison d’etre or basis that he believes ISIS gives its followers to encourage them to enlist and join the process. He paralleled the ISIS phenomenon with Marxism where there was a great following of idealists who saw Communism as an answer to life’s problems etc. He noted that Marxism now suffers from failed reputations. We would note that a form of commune-ism worked quite well for a generation in Israel and the cooperative spirit has worked well for New Zealand’s dairy farmers for three or four generations if not more.
28/5/15, “FIFA in for serious shake-up”. News breaking overnight (27th NZ time) as the US FBI arrested about 14 elected FIFA officials and paid executives on the eve of a FIFA (dubbed The Federation of Fraud) Congress. Simultaneously, Swiss investigators raided the FIFA HQ in Zurich in connection with bribes made to select Russia and Qatar for the 2018 and 2022 Football World Cups. Refer also to 4/2/15, A “World Unifying Event”. Later in the day a sports journalist said a worker is “killed on Qatar’s football stadium construction sites every day”.
28/5/15, “A world full of mentally disturbed leaders or mad religionists”. Words of a panelist on radio discussion summing up the world’s problems and its apparent preparedness for WW III. Revealed that the current Chinese President comes from a family that has been in and out of favour in China leaving him as a very disturbed man and likened him to North Korea’s leader. This was in response to China’s construction of a military base on a rocky isle in the Spratley’s Group which are claimed by several nations surrounding the South China Sea. The commentator likened the current Mid East religious squabbles with the Thirty Years War etc.
28/5/15, "If FIFA does not reform, multinational supporters will abandon it”. A sports commentator’s perceptive insight on a nation-wide radio station. On another nation-wide radio station a journalist echoed the sport’s commentator’s point. He further noted that strategy worked in reforming the World Olympic organisation. However, other observers point out there are plenty of sponsors who would line up to replace VISA, MacDonalds etc. We would wonder if Oil Money from the Middle East-Babylon would then move in to keep the money flowing, especially if the World Cup for 2022 is under threat because of the same corruption scandals surrounding FIFA. The 2018 FIFA World Cup is in Russia but again that site may be under threat if FIFA-bribery turns out to have been involved. And that is now bringing Mr Putin into the debate with all the bad connections with Ukraine and Crimea spilling over into this dispute. The latter two nations and their region generally is in the far north of Israel. The FIFA scandal has roads leading to Gog, Magog and Babylon - Surprise, Surprise!
28/5/15, “Zionism = Racism Demonstrators protest outside FIFA Congress.”Reported by an international TV News network where the reporter/commentator said there was a theory that Israel conspired with the Americans to arrest the FIFA Officials in order to deflect the gaze from this public Pro-Palestinian demonstration designed to raise international profile of alleged Israeli discrimination against Palestinians. We note the main challenger to Mr Blatter is a Jordanian Prince. The Israelis are close to the Jordanians. What is behind this theory or conspiracy? Many permutations are possible here which is why we need to watch because of the noose tightening around Israel as Ezekiel 38/9 looms large. Yesterday an elderly Chinese man visiting the writer said he had noticed that Israel is coming under increasing criticism.
28/5/15, “Fifty-Two Million refugees world-wide the highest since WWII”, according to an international refugee council leader (Global Secretary-General of UN Refugee Council). Reflects the widespread fighting and violence around the world.
4/6/15, “The Higgs Boson, the particle that holds the universe together”. Scientists at the Hadron Collider under the Alps on the Swiss-French border. Today there was an announcement that more tests would be done to discover one of the building blocks of the universe. But they continue to ignore the words of the Bible in Romans 1:20, II Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:16, 2:3 and in Hebrews 11:3, 
5/6/15, Hackers conduct massive cyber-attack on US institutions. The Americans were quick to blame China for the hacking. Ironically as the next item shows, American electronic waste (“E-Waste”) ends up being illegally dumped in China. It is smuggled past customs inspectors in First-world high-consuming countries , then shipped through various ports around Asia including New Zealand. Eventually, it ends up in Hong Kong.  From there it is smuggled using bribes up a river delta nearby and smuggled into rural areas in South China and dumped after bribing border officials.
6/6/15, E-Waste from First-World countries dumped in Third World.   The main concern in this news item was that people there try to salvage precious metals andre-cycle plastics from the dumped waste.  But activities are often very bad for their health. The enormous demand for electronic products and high rates of obsolescence means enormous waste of precious metals if they are not recovered and re-cycled. It also shows that the world’s reliance on electronic mobile phones, I-Pads etc., is not only creating a storm over communications security but is forming a massive waste problem.
6/6/15, "Pope trying to get reconciliation in Balkans”.  Ths is the region which started the World War in 1914. We are now in the 101st year of the World War but in recent times it has been featured by wars within nations. For example, Egyptian fighting Egyptian, Ukrainian vs Ukrainian, Yemenites, Libyans and Sudanese likewise. That is just a short-list of examples of that phenomenon though in countries that also seem to be part of the coalition that will invade Idsrael according to Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16.  [Postscript 17/6/16:  Dr Fruchtenbaum believes WW I was the event that kicked-off the statement in Matthew 24:8, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:10 ("Nation against Nation, Kingdom versus Kingdom").  That was was a reasonable observation.  Furthermore, to support Dr Fruchtenbaum, if one takes the view that WWI and WWII were just part of the one war, then anywhere from 1918 to 1945 could be considered the start-off point of those passages in Scripture.   But the conditions we have been watching since 2001, or examples thereof, suggest that the events of the last decade or so better fit the Gospel verses cited here.  This could be an important point if there is one generation that is going to witness the events of Matthew 24:8 etc.  Should 1914 be the start-off point, we must now be very close to the end point.  Although we are not to set dates for any of these events, the signing of the treaty between Antichrist and Israel certainly places a Seven-Year time limit and specific period once that particular stage of the End Times Event-Series commences.  On the other hand, one feels that an abiblity to point with some high degree of probability to the fact of these times now being upon us could assist our witness to encourage people to get off the Gravy Train and line-up for the Rapture Train by becoming members of the Body of Christ].    
7/6/15, An estimated million African illegal migrants amassing in Libya to Smuggle into Europe.  But they are having to be rescued by Tarshish’s ships. The migrants seemingly refugees from lawlessness equally lawlessly seek to enter other countries without the proper documentation. The European vessels could easily just sink these flimsy illegal-migrant laden rust-buckets masquerading as a boat. They do not of course.  But if an invasion force a la Ezekiel 38/39 were to try to attack Israel from the Mediterranean then Tarhsish could certainly deal with that theatre of the Invasion. 
8/6/15, Tagging Justified by Dr Ronald Kramer, Auckland University Prof. This occurred on a national radio station where he was interviewed. He said programmes to eradicate tagging immediately after it occurs are not working and costing lots of public money unnecessarily. He is probably correct on that point, because really the taggers need to be permanently removed from society or have their freedom curtailed. But in certain circumstances it may be possible to discourage them sufficiently by as immediate removal as possible that they then decide to take their evil work elsewhere. That only shifts the problem from one locale to another. Unfortunately, at no stage in the discussion was there ever any morsel of sympathy for the poor, desperate cleaners forced to use toxic chemicals to clean this garbage. There was no recognition for the cleaners’ plight. They don’t give a damn! Another example of the world trying to exonerate the murderous Norwegian Anders Breiviks who advance from “tagging as a fifteen-year-old” to kill dozens of people on a machine gun rampage.
10/6/15, Call for a ban on “phrases linked to extremism of any sort”. Although stated in context with ISIS/ISIL attempts to indoctrinate school children over the Internet, it does not take much of a shift to so regard Christians’ terms like the “Kingdom of God” or “The return of Christ” or “The Soul that sinneth shall die” to be encompassed by any such ‘ban’.
15/6/25, “Were the building blocks of life delivered from Outer Space?” A question asked by a news reporter commenting on the European Space Agency’s (ESA) announcement that its robot on a comet flying toward the sun is now re-awakened. As noted above, this research project effectively reduces the Theory of Evolution to just a mere “idea”. The so-called “Theory of Evolution” should no longer be accorded the status of “Theory”. The essential basics of observation required for any “Theory” are effectively ruled out if the life first evolved somewhere in remote space. Of course away out in deep, deep space (and time) any early stages of evolution cannot possibly be observed or studied under present powers of our observation of the deep universe.
15/6/15, "Turkey’s Constitution in a mess following Parliamentary Elections”. It has emerged through the comments of a European political studies professor that the coalition building necessary after no party gained an outright victory in the election has no clear procedural rules. The observer thinks this is a recipe for disaster. He also pointed out that any party that forms a coalition with another this time around may well get massacred in the next poll. That suggests it will be very difficult getting a stable Parliament in operation. Erdogan’s party was hoping to get a big majority to change the constitution but the electorate clearly voted the other way.
15/6/16, Turkish President Erdogan implicated in pro-ISIS/ISIL sympathies. This comment came from the source above. Apparently Erdogan has been supporting a drive toward some sort of pan-Islamic coalition (Caliphate?). It was claimed that he has tried to covertly support extremist Islamist groups. Apparently he sympathized with deposed Egyptian President Morsi. Chaos in Turkey allied with the problems in Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea (whence many of the Mediterranean refugees are coming from), Yemen, Iraq and Syria adds yet more fuel t the fires of the Ezekiel 38/9 invasion of Israel. The implosion of stability into chaos in the countries of the three compass points North, East and South of Israel now seems to be enveloping Turkey. The tribes that settled the Caucasus regions came from Turkey but whether that implies Turkey is the “Gog and Land of those with Gog” of Ezekiel 38:2 is a moot point. Trurkey may be the Togarmah of verse 38:6. To repeat, while the specifics of some of these geographical regions are still “moot” points, the overall impression of hordes of anti-Israelite peoples; from the Three Compass Points mentioned, seeking the perceived “spoils” of Israel, despite them mostly being false perceptions even so; still stands very much alive.
15/6/15, Zoo animals on the loose after flood in Tbilisi (Tubal), Georgia (Gogia).”  Heavy rain in Georgia resulted in havoc in Georgia’s capital city. The zoo appeared to be especially badly hit. This event reminds us that worsening climatic conditions may well be a factor in people being uprooted and dispossessed of homes, belongings and means to be employed and consequentially fed and domiciled. As the globe heats up, for whatever reason, the extra energy actually accentuates fluctuations in temperature either hotter or colder. The world’s convection currents get agitated leading to more violent storms. All that may be part of God’s process in “putting hooks into the jaws” (Ezekiel 38:4) of these Gog and Magog peoples and drawing them to their destruction on the mountains of the West Bank of Israel.
19/6/15, "War gaming is a God-like thing”.  Spokesman for people re-creating  the Battle of Waterloo which had its 200th Anniversary a few days after the 800th anniversary of the Signing of Magna Carta by King John of England at Runnymede. The Battle of Waterloo saw 40,000 soldiers slaughtered and is said to be of a greater scale of slaughter than the worst battles of WWI in Western Europe. However, the comment, alongside others (e.g., 13/2/14, “If this is not an act of Creation) shows just how flippant mankind is becoming in its relationship with the Creator. Most believe in Evolution. That’s despite NASA and the European Space agency admitting Evolution must have started deep in outer space. According to some theorists, that was away beyond any sector of space we can watch or observe. This is an area of the Universe even beyond the space-time continuum below the “event Horizon” that some theorise is a boundary in the Universe over which we cannot possibly observe anything. Iin a similar way, we cannot see a ship disappearing over the horizon on the high seas or as viewed from land. The point illustrates the increasing irrationality and inconsistency in the thinking of Twenty-First century Man as Romans 1:22, an epistle primarily directed at Western (Roman) Civilization, “Professing to be wise, they became fools”.
19/6/15, "IMF Chairman, Mrs La Garde warns Greece of dire consequences.”  Greece has to repay some debts by June 30.  Commentators are watching Greece’ struggle here because it could see the nation bow out of the Euro Currency and even out of the European Union which we see as a poaaible start of a process where the EU substantially re-modifies as Britain and Germany might leave.  [Postscript, 17/5/16, She seemed to be back-peddling a bit by 2016 as she suggested some leniency be given Greece.  She was also warning Britain not to leave the EU by May 2016 as the Brexit Referendum loomed.  At time of writing (May 2016) the polls suggested a neck-and-neck race between Aye and On votes for UK to remain in EU.  Perhaps she was thinking a bit of leniency for the less-do-wells in the EU might save it from total break-up as countries either leave or get thrown out].
19/6/15, Pope calls for Environmental Activism to be “holistic” and “take regard for aborted human babies. Today the Pope delivered an Encyclical on the Environment. In it he blamed humans for the mess in the world. That is quite correct especially in regard to excrement and urine through our sewage systems that mostly tip untreated sewage into the oceans around the world’s coastlines. The prevailing view regarding Global Warming is that it is humanly induced. We take the view that the basic scientific model of the earth and its place in the solar system with the energy it receives from the Sun is quite wrong. That is the real problem behind so-called “climate science”. Its evolutionist paradigms are coming apart at the seams. The ice caps were formed by the evaporating waters of the Great Flood of Noah 4500 years ago. It is possible some sort of ice block existed at the poles as a result of the First Flood from Satan’s Fall. When God re-formatted the chaotic and desecrated earth; and created the specially cocooned and “planted” Garden of Eden within that environment; He may have left some of that first ice to remain. In these papers, it is considered more likely, at this stage of our knowledge of scientific data, that all the ice at the poles and on the mountain tops (now mostly melted in places like the American Rockies) formed during the nine months or so when the Noahic Flood waters “dried up” with “great winds” (Genesis 8:1 ff).
19/6/15, “Mitochondrial Eve the progenitor of all mankind”.  New Zealand is involvedin a research programme tracking the migrations of humans around the globe throughout history. NZ is interesting because it is the last place settled. The Programme is dedicated to Sir Allan Wilson who, some claim, is NZ’s greatest “unsung hero of science” who brought about major changes in our understanding of “evolutionary change”.  Mitochondrial Eve was originally posited to be an ape in Kenya about 1 million BC. That date for her origin is now claimed to be about 150,000 BC, a considerable reduction which calls into question many ‘ideas’ about “Evolution”. Another view on this that came over the airwaves was that himans descended from a group of these apes about 60,000 years ago. It will be interesting to see if these prognostications finally settle on the First Man and Woman in 4000 BC.
19/6/15, “The snow was very heavy with more water.”  Someone in Canterbury, New Zealand noting that the snow on the trees was heavier and wetter than usual and by so much that the trees were drooping down too much and onto power lines knocking out electricity reticulation to about 5000 homes yesterday. Our interest in this comes from the view that global warming, caused by the warming interior of the globe, is pushing more water vapour from the melting icecaps into the atmosphere. This is all part of the reversal of the climate returning to pre-Flood times as “The Days of Noah” comment by Jesus comes into play with the prophecies.
20/6/15, "Banks beyond power of governments to control them.”  The comment specifically applied to "Democratic" Governments, whatever that meant!    The comment arose from a discussion about the Greek debt crisis. Noted that hundreds of highly qualified bank experts failed to do any proper due diligence when making loans to Greece.  Went on to note this is a widespread problem. Of course as we know from our Babylon studies this comes as no surprise. We expect a time to come when the governments of the world will be removed to pave the way for the rise of Antichrist-666.
20/6/15, "Politicians captured by rentiers; doing nothing re financial corruption”.  Heading toward another world economic cxrisis. We are living in a world based on the Game of Monopoly. “If the bank runs out of money anything can be used as money".
20/6/15, "Goldman Sachs fiddled books to fool EU into accepting Greek membership”.  Comments by a jorunalist who authored a documentary called The Four Horsemen.
20/6/15, "London is a city state but rest of UK economy not good”.  Comment from a critic of the way the modern economy works. Adds backing to our view about the origins of London in the wake of the Trojan War and the flight of Kurdo-Chaldeans, or Celts as we know them, in the 8th Century BC.
20/6/15, "Neoclassical economics is arcane mathematics”. The commentator also noted that these economists only look at labour and capital but ignore land issues.
20/6/15, "Interest in bees has taken off of late.” Discussion of plight of bees in the environment and how they are a marker of what is happening therein.
20/6/15, "In 50 years we may not have any bees”. A commentator on science who also keeps bees as a hobby. Our link of the bee or devorah in Hebrew is noted elsewhere in these papers. Essentially the Hebrew word for ‘bee’ is derived from devar or ‘word’. The ancients noted that bees seem to communicate with each other through coded dances.
This led to the idea bees speak to each other this way. But the ‘Word’ also relates to the Creator and the idea here is that the mass repudiation of Creation in the world’s institutions is leading to God saying “You don’t want my Word so you will lose your bees”.  
If the rise of the antichrist is only a few years away, we may not get through another 50 years before the Messiah arrives to take over, renovate the Earth and save the bees.
