Key Events
21 June 2015 - 2 October 2015
21/6/15, "The Four Horsemen".  A book by Ross Ashcroft about the endemic corruption in the world economy.  Obviously he sees the scene in rather Apocalyptic terms.  usually, no ome seems to want to say so publicly or directly, always through oblique references.  At the riots in London that I witnessed at first hand in the City in circa 2008, as I watched atop a large concrete block untill the police asked me to come down, the demonstrators held up four paper-machet wire-framed replicas of horses and thrusted one up the nose of one of the mounted police horses.  It reared up in obvious panic and that sparked an immediate police response as they charged into the crowd just below me.  Perhaps Mr Ashcroft drew his book title from that day's episodes.
27/6/15, ISIS/ISIL scores Trifecta of Outrage in Kuwait, Tunisia and France.  Most of the people killed in Sousa, Tunisia, were British.  Something of an irony given Britain's ancient links with Carthage, Tyre-Phoenicia (Puntisia-Tunisia), the Moors of Morocco and Mauretania (and The Moorgate, London).  Britain held a Minute's Silence for these victims. 
28/6/15, "The Four Streams of Islam".  Comment picked up in a discussion but the speaker failed to elaborate on these streams and define them.
1/7/15, Grexit Averted with Draconian Versailles-Style Austerity Programme.  That was the opinion of several commentators on the conditions for Greece's Third Bailout. The rescue package requires other EU Parliaments (read "Germany") and the Greek Parliament to draw up legislation in their respective countries.  The rest of the EU resolved to do this rather than see Greece exit the EU and the Euro.  Now generally agreed;  as we successfully did when fighting to keep the Pound out of the EMU and Euro;  that the (inter-)national currency had to have a central fiscal control mechanism as well.  The problem with that is that some counteries without an option to devalue would be unable to maintian the same productivity improvements as others leading to an imbalanced situation such as Greece, Portugal and others are finding.
2/7/15, "Nobody knows what to do about all this ISIS Stuff".  Said in a discussion about the philosophy of ISIS and how it indoctrinates susceptible young people to join its ranks..  The discussion was also in the cotext of freedom of speech, civil liberties etc.
2/7/15, "We don't want a Police State", a response about how to counteract ISIS propoganda.
7/7/15, US States move to ban Confederate Flag from Capitol Buildings.  This was the response to a young white kid shown in a photo waving the Confederate Flag.  The flag symboliosed to some his development of his plan to shoot dead a whole lot of Black church-goers in one of the former 'Confederate' states (South Carolina).  Many referred to the racial overtones behind the flag's use as this kid demonstrated.  However, commentators overlooked the economic resaons behind the Civil War.  The northern states wanted the south to buy machinery from them rather than get better stuff from European and other suppliers (the infant industry argument many countries try out to build a manufacturing base).  Also overlooked was the evident voluntary migration from Africa to the Americas over decades or even centuries following China's retreat from defending the American 'Indian' civilisations (Apache, Arapaho, Alonquin, Aztec Cherokee, Commanche, Eskimo, Iraquois, Inca, Kree, Mayan, Mohican, Sioux, etc.  It is untrue to suggest every African was kidnapped, bound and sent against their will in a so-called "slave-ship" to the Americas and the Caribbean.  As advised by Jamaicans in London, the writer found out some of these vessels were the equivalent of our modern-day cheap budget airlines.  Also, some of those Africans came over to the Americas on boats as modern refugees fleeing Ophir-Auphirah-Africa as many are likewise doing today to escape lawlessness and autocratic regimes and gangsterism in their homelands around the Niger (Nigger) River.  Since the demise of the Great Queen of the Africans, the Egypto-Ethiopian 18th Dynasty's Queen Hatshepsut, that continent has been on a long slow decline in respect to governance.  Although Africa is little worse than most other areas of the world with the occasional bright spots of good Government briefly sprouting up from time to time and from place to place.  But also overlooked is the point that the conquest that followed the 'American' Civil War as the Northern States very successfully imposed their particular economic and political philosophy on the Southern States then on the Spanish lands of the West and South (e.g., California, Texas) and of course on the former French colonies of the Louisiana Purchase.  One might argue that 'conquest' was an overall net benefit for the people 'conqured'.  All the Spanish and French holdings had been Hapsburg-controlled prior to circa 1648, hence the Austrian 'Thaler' becoming the US 'Dollar'.  Portugal and Spain, then Holland, France and Britain gradually wrested the Americas off China's Hemi-Sphere of Responsibility originally drawn up between Solomon, the Emperor of China and The King(s) or Princes of Tyre.  America's reaction to "The Confederate Flag hides much other history.  A lesson here for Europe is that unless the other European countries are likewise conquered by one or other bigger EU nations there cannot be a successful (assuming it has been thus) USA-style currency union.  Today, seventy years after the close of WWII, would the other European nations agree to letting Germany control them fiscally, monetarily and effectively politically as well?  In effect, now the Greeks must ask the EU to agree to allow their own Parliamentarians in Athens just or merely 'discuss' the Austerity Package let alone make actual changes to the enabling legislation behind the economic stringency.  As one has been saying, the break-up of the EU now seems even more lkiely and we could well see both Germany and Greece moving towards Russia's orbit in response to the EU break-down.  Germany allied with Russia fits the Ezekiel 38:1 to 19:16 prophecy very neatly.  [On 20/7/15, a report emanated out of Germany that Angela Merkel would not allow for more debt write-off but that if Greece begins to implement the latest Austerity Package there could be changes in interest rates they have to pay (perhaps lower from the sounds of that) and there could be some re-scheduling though that often means a higher overall cost of servicing that debt but spreading those higher costs over a longer period so that annual cash flow is less constrained.  Obviously some debt write-off is the optimum however that seems to be definitely ruled out.]  
14/7/15, If Iran and Saudi Arabia start a shooting war in Yemen, all bets are off", a parting comment after a discussion about the ideology of ISIS/ISIL based on a book by J.N. Burger, author of ISIS and the State.    Apparently ISIS is an off-shoot of, or "split from" al Qa'ida.  In Syria a group named Jabul Nusra seems to support ISIS but it opposed al Qa'ida in Syria.  As some commentators note, these groups are a sort of moving feast of ideologies.  Interestingly, one of the commentators commenting here said that many jihadist groups, or even all of them gebneraly, have a philosophy that they are weak and powerless whereas ISIS turns this around to a belief that its tenets are true, it is strong so join up and be with a winner.  One of the commentators had the nerve to say "In the West  we have a value on Truth".  Has he never heard about the Theory that is really a Fact of Evolution?   According to this source, ISIS is a Sunni group and very much anti-Shia.
14/7/15, "The Middle East is full of religious and cultural divisions".  Comment in above discussion about the philosophy of ISIS.  And the problems from all that are growing.
14/7/15, "The picture in the Middle East over the next five to ten years is bleak".    Another comment in the discussion abpout the philosophy of ISIS.  See note for 20/7/15 below for further comment on a different reading.  
14/7/15, "The ISIS Issue represents a break down in the Status Quo" .... and in that sense is "just like the American Civil War".            
15/7/15, Inside Job allows Mexican Drug Chief to escape High Security Prison.  This was discussed on a TV political panel discussion.  Clearly evident from the discussion that USA and Mexican autgorities are more interested in regional political struggle than in eradicating drugs and their source.  Corruption so rife and at such high levels in Mexico that there is no solutrion.  More clear evidence when aggregated with world-wide situation of breakdown of Law and rise of Lawlessness as Apostle Paul prophesied in Thessamonians as the pre- condition for the rise of Antichrist.  About the same time this happened, a report surfaced in New Zealand where a privately run prison was allowing cannabis smoking, fighting matches and an in-prison still for alcohol production to operate.  Corrections Department officials held the report and allegations under wraps (suppressed) until film of the episodes appeared on the Internet.
17/7/15, ISIS kills over 100 in Ice-Truck diversion in Iraq.  This happened on a day when Iraq was claiming it had ISIS/OSIL defeated in one of the Iraqi provinces.  Commentators said this was typical of ISIS and its al Qa'ida fore-runner.  When they were defeated in some other theatre they launch a strike in another region.  In this case they attracted a whole lot of people toward an ice-truck by offering absurdly cheap ice for sale.  The enticement worked and a large crowd had gathered as the suicude bombers abourd the rtruck blew themselves up.  Another example of the pure evil of these people in these days of the eve of the rise of Antichrist-666.
20/7/15, "Teaching people to survive Zombie apocalypse situations", radio reporter referring to Armageddon Expo in Wellington, New Zealand.
20/7/15, "Let's hope it isn't Armageddon", radio commentator/compare on hearing her colleague's announcement of the forthcoming news item about the Computer Games and Monsters (Demons) Expo in Wellington.  Even so, with world events as they are alongside Biblical Prophecy, especially with our understanding of the significance of "Nazareth" both to the First Advent of Yeshua and to His Second Advent, Armageddon certainly looks close.  Mark's Gospel reminds us of the possibility that before the "End Times" do come at last, they will escalate like the birth pangs of a woman.  His-Story has never seen an array of events like we are witnessing.  That much we can tell from the revised History which evades everyone else's attention.  Rgarding Christ's Second Coming, Antichrist-666 now seems likely to emulate Yeshua in respect to a role for Nazareth.  Antichrist will collect his forces to attack Jerusalem on the plains to the North immediately below Megiddo, accessible to North and South via the Megiddo hill-pass that opens out to Nazareth and Tel Adoshim.  As noted elsewhere, the author spent many a happy day and night at Tel Adoshim before the full significance of "Nazareth" eventually dawned on him.  Armageddon certainly seems to be on its way but the Church may well be Raptured out before then if not on its eve.  Better for people to prepare for the Rapture and repent now rather than plan to survive Armageddon.  It will be excruciatingly possible to survive Armageddon.  Those who do end up in Armageddon may still save themselves by repenting and acknowledging Jesus-Yeshua.  The prophecies even encourage believers who become so after the Rapture to "count the days".  That is because the Prophecies account for a Seven Year period of Apocalypse (i.e., The Tribulation).  It will be possible to count the days from the signing of the Seven Year Treatybetween Antichrist and Israel's majority in Jerusalem, which so infuriates God.  On the Last Day, of that awful period, when Christ returns at the beckoning call of Israel besieged not at Nazareth but at Bozra-Petra in modern Edom-South Jordan, all surviving faithful Gentiles and Israelites will enter the Messianic Kingdom to 'populate' it with a new series of generations to test out the plan for the 1000-year Messianic Kingdom.  So there is a hope even at the end of that Tribulation-Apocalypse during which, one again hopes, people may pick-up by reading these pages of commentary on the Bible.  (For more on Edom, refer 20/7 /15 below "Bibi... picks up the phone").
20/7/15, "Now everyone is a Geek ... my dalek uniform sits in my office," comment at 2015 Armageddon Expo, Wellington, NZ.
20/7/15, "Bibi Netanyahu picks up phone to congratulate Abbas on 'Ed' of Ramadan".  A report on a New Zealand radio station where a journalist based in the Middle East told us that for the last part of Ramadan, the Festival of Ed, Mr Netanyahu telephoned PLO Chief, Mr Mohammad Abbas to offer muzzeltov (normal Hebrew conhralatory on birthdays, bar mitzvahs etc., ) on the Eve of Ed.  For a discussion on the deeper significance of this, refer Blessing 11Vvi Parts I and II.    
23/7/15, "What happens over the next few years in the Middle East will determine the shape of our world over the next few decades".  Words of a New Zealand military officer with the UN Peace Keeping Forces in the Middle East.  Wore a New Zealand army uniform with a blue beret as were soldiers with their uniforms from about 24 other countries.
23/7/15, Christine La Garde, Angela Merkel, Janet Yellin and Hillary Clinton mentioned in discussion about evolutionary role of women in their Sixties.  Evolutionism requires women to die by the age of Sixty because they are no longer able to become mothers.   In the past the "Grandmother Hypothesis" suggested that women beyond Sixty are involved in the nurtuting and rearing of families.  But there is no suggestion that the Evolutionary Theory is wrong.  The reference to the four women above was interesting because they are the target group for our Zechariah 5:6-11 thesis. Elizabeth Warren was also named in that group in the radio discussion.  Later in the interview, the interviewer noted that according to a reliable source women were still massively under-represented in senior positions which makes the three top women in the financial sector (IMF, Federal Reserve Bpard and German Chancellory) unusual and well outside the statistical norm.  The respondent gave a short nervous chuckle at the information suggesting she saw the possible fallibility in her arguments.
24/7/15, "Turkey bombs Isis and Kurds in North Iraq and Syria", raising fears the Turko-Kurdish (per PKK) ceasefire from uprisings that had rent Turkey for many years, had ended.   The Kurds accused Turkey of not doing enough to combat ISIS.  Whereas, Kurds have been the most active group in the fught against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria.  Turkey, in the view of many, has mostly been standing idly by watching the disasters unfold though Turkey has taken many refugees.  Some Kurds had been killed in Turkey by ISIS and the Kurds reacted by shooting two policemen whom they claimed had collaborated with ISIS.  That sort of colllaboration also raises fears, if at all true, that as Assad Junior said on his accession to Assad Senior's presidency, that Turkey, Iran and  Syria would all ally to stop any independent Kurdistan arising in North Iraq.   An already complicated situation is getting even more complex.
24/7/15, Tunisia battling ISIS in mountains.  But its army is outgunned, and outnumbered.  Tunis is asking for international assistance. 
25/7/15, "Kenya, the cradle of humanity and civilization", according to President Kenyatta (Jomo's son) when welcoming Barack Obama to Kenya the birth place of the American President's father and current home of step sister, step-grandmother and other relatives.  Noted former ancient civilizations that once ruled Africa.
25/7/15, Obama trumpets Goldman Sachs Scheme to encourage female entrepreneurs.  He announced this at an entrepreneurs forum in Kenya.   Obama has been criticised for too lightly letting-off Goldman Sachs and other Merchant Banks for their ciomplicity in precipitating the 2007-8 GFC.  Also, no one has called GS to account for cooking the books of Greece to get it illegal entry into the EU and Euro.  Are we witnessing Goldman Sachs ionvolvement in the transfer of financial controls via two or three women of Zechariah 5:6-11?
25/7/15, "El Salvador experienced its worst ever monthly murder rate  in June 2015".   The army is struggling to contain gangs tehre.  Seems to be as bad as Mexico.  One wonders how well the other minor Central American states are doing in their wars against gangs and drugs cartels.
25/7/15, One in four in UK suffer mental health problems, according to TV News Report.   Our view is this reflects the materialistic and evolutionist culture now gripping Britain.
25/7/15, "Former Geofgian (Gogian) Premier Mikhiel Saakashvili appointed Governor in South Odessa".  The compiler only heard about the following on this day (25/7/15).  The Internet reports noted, "Saakashvili replaced Igor Palytsia, a businessman who was appointed governor in May last year", i.e., May 2014.  Also picked up the followinbg comment off the Internet: "In one of the stranger developments in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian President Petro Poroschenko recently (May 2015 apparently) appointed former Georgian President Mikhiel Saakashvili as Governor of the Odessa region.  Mr. Saakashvili, who had served as his country’s President between 2004-2013, had been spending his days since leaving office alternating between being one the world’s most outspoken supporters of Ukraine’s struggle against Russia, and enjoying a hipster lifestyle of semi-retirement in Brooklyn".  Other material stated that Saakashvili had earlier turned down an offer to be a vice president of Ukraine on the grounds that he did not want to revoke his Georgian citizenship.  Yet he had to do that to become governor of Odessa.   This all smacks of the bad olkd days of the former Soviet Union where Georgians (e.g., Stalin) and Ukrainians (e.g., Kruschev) could freely enter office in any part of the Unoin.  Perhaps these fellows are still acting as though there has been no disappearance of the Soviet Union.  It is still the same old battles between various oligarchs and politicos vying for contention.  However, we are more interested in the ramifications for the Gog-led Invasion of Israel per Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16.   The following comment was posted in the Internet:
"The Israeli mob hard at work using the US military and US tax money to help kill people and seize control of countries and enslave people, all for the Israeli mob to profit from ."
With thinking like that in these countries, it is little wonder the world will witness a massive invasion of Israel by anti-semites in the list of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38.
28/7/15, Trans Pacific Partnership Talks aim to stall Chinese hegemony over Pacific Trade.  And hence politics etc ., one might add.  This comment  paraphrases a commentator's view that the US Presidenmt wants these talks; originally begun by NZ, Singapore, Chile and Brunei (or similar arrangement of smallr Pacific economies); to enshrine an American and prhaps 'Western' set of trading and commercial practices, rules and laws as the basis for 40% of the world's economy.  Otherwise it will be China's philosophies that will dominate the region.  We find this interesting because of the thesis that Solomon divided the world between the Western (then Tyrian-Phoenician) and Eastern or essentially Chinese (ancient Chinese dynasty based in Beijing Peking Hemispheres.  The dividing line, also used by a Roman Pope to separate Spanish and Portuguese sectors of influence, is the longitude that runs fthrough the Azores in the Atlantic then through PNG, Torres Straits, Solomon Islands and Northern-Territory/Queensland and South Australia/NSW borders.  The Solomon Islands, Azores and Torres Straits probably got their names from this ancient agreement.   
29/7/15, Turkey Insists it is fighting ISIS-D'Ash and Terrorist PKK (Kurdish), and opposing Assad regime,  not fighting Kurds.  This emerged in a panel discussion on a foreign Television News Service.  However, it also emerged that the Turkish Parliament has not yet formed a new Goivernment leaving an interim administration in place.  That means the Turkish President Erdogan is the only elected political head to have formal power.  But Erdogan, apparently a Muslim,  seems to be agitating toward a new fight against the Kurds.  The Kurds have won 80 seats in the Turkish Parliament but seem unwilling or unable to help establish a new Government which could help matters in Turkey domestically.  Of course Turkey is roughly evenly split between Turks who are secular, those who are Muslim and the Kurds.  In a way it might be a bit like the UK with Scotland seeming to want out of union with England, Wales and North Ireland, the latter wanting to remain in the union and not re-united with ireland even though its people are largely descended from Scots or Anglo-Scots!  Turkey wants to establish a buffer zone between Turkey and Syria to house Syrian refugees in Turkey.  Sotto Voce is Turkey's fear that the Kurds in Syria, Iraq and Turkey itself wnat to establish a new Kurdish state.  In our note for 24/7/15, under the heading,  "Turkey bombs Isis and Kurds in North Iraq and Syria", we noted President Assad's dictum more than a decade ago, "that Turkey, Iran and  Syria would all ally to stop any independent Kurdistan arising in North Iraq".      While it now seems impossible, after all the Kurds' sacrifices to stop ISIS/ISIL,  not to award the Kurds an independent state so many years after almost being awarded one in South East Turkey after the break up of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey's or Erdogan's attitude towards the Kurds does sound menacing.  It reminds this compiler of a discussion he had with a former leading UK diplomat that the kurds would be wiped out if they ever agitated for a new nation.  So there are some forces around, well beyond Turkey's sphere of influence who do not want a Kurdish state to arise or resurrect.  That may well be  for the reason we say that the Kurds are the Chaldeans and for them to be back in the saddle in the Middle East, with Israel, would be a disaster for the world view of history put up by Western academics, leaders and illuminati (Enlightenment Movement post Westphalia etc).  Interestingly, China, which sees this problem as a Western Hemisphere domestic matter, stands on the sidelines neither cheering nor booing but concerned enough because it still relies on oil from that region to manage its economy.
30/7/15, Exponential growth curve in all technologies combining in multiplier effect beyond Human ability to 'get its head around'.  Straight out of Daniel 12:4.  In three to five years time the technoloogies will be doubling in technical prowess.  Noted that in nature there are mnay doubling patterns.  But we are unable to comprehend them when we effectively set them in  motion.
30/7/15, "Cognitive flaws in mankind".  Our species, used to experiencing linear patterns, has constraints in its ability to cope with exponential doubling of technology.  People can comprehend or understand 30 linear steps, easily enough, but cannot cope with a doubling every step over 30 paces - a distance that roughly takes one 2.5 times around the globe.  More and more of the world is being affected by this doubling patttern (Daniel 12:4).  For example, Energy Industry Leaders (EIL's) cannot see that within 23 years solar energy sources will displace oil from most of its current uses.  However, cognitive dissonance amongst EIL's pits them into opposing the inevitable.  Noted "poor Kodak" which never anticipated what would happen in its sector.  Now "perfect leather" is grown in petrie dishes.  Drinks that that provide all the nutrients humans need are now in production although the people who use them "are bored".  Production of Energy, Food and Health-care products is now moving into the "Digital World". 
30/7/15, Exponential explosion in Technology will collapse energy prices.  That will be of concern to the controllers of Mid-East Persian Gulf or 'Babylonian' oil.  If these  forecasts of the future impact of technological exponential growth are realistic, most energy will be more or less directly reticulated from the sun.  Probably, planes and some other forms of transporttation may well continue to use oil.  But the profits from oil in the Mid East, which generate the massive cash surplus from the huge profits therein, will disappear and then a crucial lever, which seems to be Babylon's opportunity to take over the world, will be lost.  That in turn suggests that Antichrist has to make his moves to destroy Israel by taking over the world before circa 2035.  As stated in previous months, the world's Internet is deemed to become a "mind of its own" by 2030 (refer  F_Key_Indicators_June_2015, 26/2/15,“AnotherThirtyYears’War” and comment in Endnote (8).  So we have a most facsinating harmony between the Bible's Prophecies and the pace of technology in The Last Days!  
30/7/15, Need for exponential growth in organisational skills to manage Technology explosion.   For example, consider the effect of a new box one can get that does a complete diagnosis of your health for you, on the hospitals and medical centres we currently consult.  The best way to deal with this is to take the new "disruptive" technology and put it on "the edge" of your existing business.  This futurologist cited Apple Computers as doing this.   But leave the main business mostly intact.  So how does this exponential growth affect our incomes?  It is a matter of re-training people to come off the widget-production line and do something else.  There need not be any job losses although there will be a lot of chaos along the way.  The "disruption" is likelyt to occur within the next five years and we will solve most problems in health and other eareas in the next two decades.  Comments from a chap brought out to New Zealand by Callaghan Innovation a Kiwi science provider and futurist think tank organisation.
30/7/15, "James Watt made most of his money when his patent ran out".  A radio commentator discussing the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA).  While the patent on his steam engine operated only a few were installed anywhere.  The Industrial Revolution took off when Watt's patent expired!  Then,  other potential manufacturers were enabled to get involved in production at a cost users could pay.  That reminded me of the Beatles never having patents on the shoes, wigs, and other paraphernalia that were bought and sold in vast quantities especially in the USA which currently champions the patent system.  Those revenues and profits completely by-passed the Beatles themselves.  Yet they still were enriched with the song royalties from records.  The Beatles were so much better than anyone else in their genre that people were not interested in covers of their songs.  People bought the original only.  One had to perform an exceptional version like Rod Stewart with his version of Get Back or Elton John with Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds or Joe Cocker with With a Little help from my Friends, before people would actually seek after covers or alternative versions.  Then another point occurred to me.  To secure a patent, one has to supply so much information about the discovery, in order to verify a patent could be held in a Petent Office, that one effectively inadvertently supplies the data for competitors.  They can then produce the very Generic alternatives or counterfeits one fears may become available.  Thus it could be argued the profitability of the Pharmaceutical Companies has been reduced by competition from Generic  alternatives fostered by the very existence of patent offices. Surely this is evidence that Patents do not protect inventors or innovators after all.  In fact, the world has seen, or is aboyut to see, its biggest splurge of innovation and soon faces a doubling knowledge in many different technologies every three to five years (see above).  After all the debate for centuries since James Watt, it may have been activity engaged in trying to find a way around Patent Rights that has spurred all this economic and technological growth.  Patents offices may have been sitting Canute-like, hopelessly and helplessly unable to stem the tide of Generic competitors.  The Bible in Daniel 12:4 prophesied such a situation.  Perhaps Patent rights have nothing to do with it.  It is the very nature of technology, science and research, that we are now in the current position and on the verge of a masive technological outbreak - And the Rise of Antichrist!   Trademarks should be protected, this commentator suggested, because that is something the developer did work hard to disseminate or publicise (although they are susceptible to counterfeit copies).  The commentator also wondered why anyone should have rights to knowledge.  
Note:  These arguments, and the last sentence in the paragraph above, have influenced this writer-researcher to waive any patent or copyright restrictions.  Is there any point in doing that?  If the critical information came from the Lord Himself or through His training, teaching or mentoring, should the pupil or student make money out of that?   If we are building on Christ's foundation (I Corinthians 3:11) our reward comes from Him at His Judgement Seat.  Any costs incurred in disseminating the information like travel, accommodation and food should be supplied/paid to the worker doing that particular task.  But the knowledgfe itself should not be a source of income and profit.  At times it will be hard to separate, isolate or identify one (the knowledge) from the other (dissemination cost).  If there is an imbalance one way or the other, presumably losses or profits will emerge over time so that corrective measures can be instituted.  The sort of thing an economist would think about!  
30/7/15, "MH370 ordered to Kazakhstan by Putin".   This is the speculation of Geiff Wise aired on a New Zealand radio station on the news that a piece of the plane's wreckage may have been found in Reunion near Madagascar.  Wise said it would be about now, some fourteen months later, that the ocean would in all probability yield up a piece of wreckage from a plane that plunged into it.  The compiler had wondered if Kazakhstan (or Gogistan) would or could have some influence in this matter.
5/8/15, "The Creature escapes from its Creator".  These could be words from the 3-D Aleph Bible Study which looks at 'Progress' of Man following the Fall of Man after participating in the consumption of information from a touch-tronic God-Created computer embedded in a tree in the Garden of Eden. Told not to eat or touch it, mankind has over the last 5000 years developed his own international touch-tronic computer accessible by any touch-tronic I-Phone, computer etc.  Information is a mere touch away from one's fingertips.  The moment one 'touches' such devices, information is already absorbed into the brain and or soul.  But the comment was actually used in a television programme about Goldman Sachs the "world's banker" as they called it.  GS only services huge companies like "Ford" and Governments, said the documentary-maker.  But he quote introducing this paragraph was referring to Frankenstein's monster.  They see the problem in terms of a western novel or bank but ignore the Bible's statements - to their peril.  Readers of these pages are reminded that by AD 2030, the 2000th anniversary of the Church of Christ, the Internet and Google will become a mind of its own, though not a 'soul' one presumes!   The world will have come almost-full circle browsing with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in circa 4004 BC (using Bishop Usher's attempt to date the Fall of Man).  Mankind will be all-consumed by, infatuated with, the Internet and its subsidiaries with the all-pervasive @-sigm etc. 
5/8/15, "It is not enough to succeed, others must fail", Goldman Sachs' employees motto.  So they even bet on their clients losing from a deal they construct for the client.  The environment is like adopting a religion said a former employee.  Outsiders described its recruits as monks joining the Jesuits.
5/8/15, "The arrival of mathematics in Economics in the 1990's led to 2007-8 Banking disasters", was the view of a commentator on the Goldman Sachs documentary above.  The world was analysed into numerical and algorithmic models upon which GS began making its bets.  While maths won't stop investors or gamblers losing, they will greatly enhance the probability of winning as the models are refined and  fine-tuned.  Like cobstructing a website, considerable effort is required to keep the model up-to-date.  It is not an easy task and GS employs 30,000 staff world-wide to keep that work going.  To some extent, that effort justifies a premium salary but it is clear that some segments of the organisation deliberately set-up investors or Greek ministers of finance to fail.  An ample demonstration of God's point in His warning not to take of the Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge a.k.a The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. 
They inculcate the best of the young graduates they employ in their Way, but it would be so much better if people choise The Way as per the discussion onpage 6 of the paper the author wrote entitled The Rapture, Appendices, 3-D Aleph Bible Study Course:  "There is only one Way into the Body of Christ and it is the same for all. Matthew 3:3, 7:13-14, 10:5, 20:17, 21:32; Mark 1:2-3, 10:52b, Luke 3:4; John10:1, 14:4& 6 are Gospel passages that set the scene for understanding the following references to “The Way” in Acts 9:2, 27; 18:25, 26; 19:9, 23; 22:4, 24:14, 22. See also Hebrews 10:19-20.  An early name for the Church of Christ was “The Way”.
5/8/15, "Goldman Sachs speculated on the 9/11 attacks on New York as they happened", said a former employee of GS interviewed on aformentioned GS documentary. She resigned in disgust at such ethics.
8/8/15, "A whole new form of politics required now in the Middle East", according to a panellist oninternational TV.  Wait until the Antichrist takes over Babylon then they will know all about "New politics!".
8/8/15, "The situation is so complex in Suria that the USA is unable to even frame a policy for Syria."  Another comment on the same programme which looked at the policy options for the Middle East with all the carnage going on.  Our submission is that the chaos is a stage-setter for the Ezekiel 38 invasion.  It is also a stage-setter for the rise of Babylon under Antichrist-666 who is a month short of his 14th birthday.  Does he know who his true father is if he is indeed the antichrist?  If so, does he know about his father's business, as Jesus did by His twelfth year.  Is this satanic offspring (seed of a woman and Satan, Genesis 3:15b) preparing himself for his role in Satan's designs for mankind?  There are many who believe the Antichrist must be Syrian because Antiochus Epiphanes, whose actions provided a base if typology regarding Antichrist, was a Syrian who in turn however was a descendant of the Greek General of Alexander.  But the Bible requires Antichrist to be Roman not from a Roman colony..
8/8/15, "Leave your religion at home and do not attempt to convince others of what you believe".  A Saudi Arabian policy analyst on the same progamme describing how they are keeping a lid on religious or philosophical debate in Saudi Arabia. 
10/8/15, "We are in a state of lawlesness in regard to our constitution ....", not New Zealand or any other country but these were the words of a man trying to salvage an imploding NZ Conservative Party political organisation.  Its erstwhile leader, multi-millionaire businessman Colin Craig, is apparently subject of an internal party claim that he breached election spending rules.  All seems a storm in a tea cup but the eschatological theme was apparent, see next item ....
10/8/15, "They are religious nutters",  a radio journalist speaking on air about New Zealand's Conservative Political Party which got about 4% of the vote at the 2014 General Election.  Mr Craig once doubted the Yanks had put a man on the moon and some members of the party are identified as being of the so-called  'religious right' though such insinuations seem rather innaccurate.
13/8/15, "Until the Twin Towers fell, I used to think the world would get better", a commentator speaking about an announcement that an Auchlander is on an ISIS hit list.  
13/8/15, "Until the Twin Towers fell,  I used to think technology would make things better", a commentator speaking about an announcement that an Auchlander is on an ISIS hit list.  
13/8/15, "Since the Twin Towers fell, now I see murderous religious gangsters causing terror everywhere", a commentator speaking about an announcement that an Auchlander is on an ISIS hit list.  These three 'twin-towers' statemenmts were part of one sentence by the original speaker.  This writer broke the full statement into three separate sentences for the purposes of this document.   Here we have the words of an openly atheistic contributor to a regular (weekly) radio station panel who in effect echoed the main warnings out of the Bible.  The tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would eventually produce more evil than good.  The Twin Towers: collapsed to announce the birth of the antichrist, as we believe or suggest at this point but await time to tell;  Muslim fanaticism fired by belefs in that religion that the Mahdi (their Messiah) is on the way; and the many undesirable side effects of:  computers; mobile phones and Internet;  should surely make people re-think what the Bible is saying.  Surely Bible-sceptics should be prepared to at least listen to the tiny group of people still extant who are prepared and able to accurately voice the Bible's message to the world.  Romans 12:2 explains that believers should be proving the good, perfect and acceptable Will of God.  That is to explain using the Bible that God foresaw all the things that would happen through 6000 years of man's history on planet Earth.  Our orb was rescued from the dark depths of the Cosmos 4.6 billion years after Satan's rebellion caused the Earth to become "tohu and Bohu" or "without form and void".  Planet Earth had been churned up to destroy all the elements and precious stones out of which Satan's earthly palaces were fabricated.  The Earth was sent packing to the darkest corner of space, so far away from the rest of the galaxies that they probably looked like a mere speck out in distant space to an observer who hovered above the earth's clouds of gas and vapour or whatever constituted its atmosphere at that time - if it even had one.  Sadly, the first Man on earth also fell like Satan when he began consuming knowledge by touching the touch-tronic computer embedded in a tree in the Garden of Eden.  That computer was put there to see if the man would allow himself to be tempted into gaining knowledge his way instead of through God or with God's tutoring.  Satan succeeded in getting the man to make the wrong choice although the man had perfect capability to resist Satan.  He didn't resist Satan or listen to his own conscience and that was that!  Since the Twin Towers fiasco, we now think the Devil's own son walks this earth as he grows up in a prestigious Roman family.
14/8/15, Why is New Zealand the third fattest country in the OECD?    But that orgamnisation only represents about 30 out of 220 nations, the other 190 being poor and deprived so to be the third most obese out of 220 is grotesque.
14/8/15, Why are New Zealanders getting fatter after $300 million taxes spent on obesity education?  These were questions raised on a radio station.  Despite sustained funding to various lobby groups or quangos over the last decade, New Zealand's position on this criteron is deteriorating.  We believe the reason is that when a nation abandons learning the Word of God it starts over-feeding on the dober for the stomach rather than the Devar of God for the Soul.  Both food and the words of Scripture are necessary for the Living Soul of Man.  Animal living souls need not and do not have a spiritual portion to their make-up though they do positively respond to the love of humans or show the effects of human neglect.  But humans rejecting the Love of God suffer in the long run.  Jesus of Nazareth is The Word (Devar) of God became Flesh.  He encouraged his listeners to feed on the Devar rather than the dober at the mass feedings He organised.  But the people just thought Jesus could be the source of free lunches.  In return, Jesus said that people still had to continue to live by the Milton Friedman dictum that "there is no such thing as a free lunch".  Jesus did provide a couple of free lunches.  But even His group of disciples had a money bag to pay for board, food or lodgings.  The bees (Hebrew 'wording' = Devorah) are also disappearing because the world is no longer interested in feeding from the Word of God especially as it appears in the Bible.  They reject the Bible as myth, stories and allegory and as the churches tend to teach it as mostly allegory or typology, there is little demand for the Word of God but the Supply is of poor quality as well.  The Churches are not doing an adequate or effective job of explaining or representing the Bible or Word of God.  It is a supply and demand issue.  There is also a lot of junk but cheap food out there.  Low income people tend to eat junk food.  It is cheap so they eatr too much.  Instead of buying more-expensive better-quality food, thus purchasing much less in volume assuming no rise in income, people gorge on cheap stuff.  They combine that with too much time spent sitting at computers or TV consuming quite unspiritual stuff like films and mindless, iterative-operational computer games.   A recipe for early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.
15/8/15, "There will be no pensions in Ten Years because the money will run out", the words of a demonstrator in Ecuador at a mass raly of opposition to the Governemnt introducing new economic measures.  The pension schemes of many governments do seem to exced their propensity or ability to pay.  
16/8/15, "I wouldn't say a religious experience but certainly an emotional one."  Heard in an interview about the music of David Bowe after reviewing an exhibition of the singer's works, costumes, stage effects etc.  In effect acknowledging that people these days worship their human heros and the creation generally but do do acknowledge the Creator as Romans chapter 1 warned.  We also find this in the intense interest in interviews with people writing books, making ("creating") characters, marionettes, dance pr ballet performances "using Mendelsohn's music which perfectly captures the essence of Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream".  'Characters' and 'Caricatures' are variants of the wod 'create' but they are never creations of any sort because only God can truly "create" as the Hebrew verb bara is used in the Bible.  Bara is only used of what God 'creates'.  
21/8/15, "If hackers are not careful they may end up destroying or crippling the Internet".  Observation by a commentator discussing an Internet forum used by men (mainly, about 85% of clients) looking to have an adulterous relationship.  Some commentators had been discussing the supposedly beneficial aspects of this forum but were appalled by the breaches of privacy that occurred in the wake of a hack into this particular Internet forum.  We observe that the problem here is yet another obstacle the world has fallen into by following the Babel Project which the Academy and Intelligentsia want the world to adopt.  They take this view on the admittedly somewhat logical grounds that since Adam had consumed from the tree of science and technology, the touch-tronic computer embedded in a tree in Eden, Mankind might as well follw that course and be done with it.  The idea is to "reach for the stars" just as the ancient Babylonians attempted.  The Church needs to point out that involvement in this project is fraught with problems so that Man really needs to seek God as his first and most pressing priority, rather than seek to reach the stars or some other goal like being a superb athlete, self actualizing etc.  However, the Hollywood and sports stars are the idols most people adore these days.  The Boffins, along with their adherents, are still chasing the astronomical stars.  Stephen J Hawking is teaming up with some big money to extend our listening stations for evidence of extra-terrestrial life with at least our technical ability to emit coded information.  These issues are turning out to be hideous nad extreme now.  So it will be no surprise to see Satan put his son into this situation to get it back under control.  In the meantime, Satan has his dogs of war, perhaps ISIS etc, causing trouble around the world.  Are these hackers his servants?   Whatever, when Satan calls in his dogs of war when the Antichrist gets to power, the whole world will seem pleasantly calm and quiet.  But that is when the destruction comes for it is at that point God lets His angels loose to do their thing, "Jehovah's Strange Acts", in the Seven Year Tribulation that Israel's Seven-Year Treaty with Antichrist initiates.
22/8/15,  "Border Tensions arising in Venezuela, Columbia, Guyana and Korea, India and Pakistan".  On top of all the other crises, four theatres of tension had opened up this weekend.  Venezuela closed a border with Columbia ostensibly because of smuggling but earlier in the month it was in dispute with Guyana on its Eastern border claiming that two thirds of Guyana was in fact Venezuelan territory.  Apparently that dispute goes back several decades when a similar argument was shelved by a temporary treaty.  The dispoute erupted again because oil has been found in significant quantities under the off-shore shelf between the two countries.  But Venezuela's neo-Marxist or at least strongly socialist government is finding its economic policies since the death of President Chavez are running into the sands of shortages and unevenly rising prices and income maldistribution.  Chavez perhaps had the power and influence to bang commerrcial heads and businessmen in Vvenezuela together to make the socialist economic plan look like it is working.  As Brezhnev et al found, such planned economies come to grief, not that the market economies have solved all ills by any stretch of the imagination.  The upshot of Venezuela's predicament, with oil prices at $45/barrel "London Brent Crude", is that the economic plan is priced out at oil revenues of $100/barrel.  In classic geo-politics the tensions between Venezuela and her two neighbours looks like politickng emanating from Caracas on the eve of another election as the Government sseks to draw attention away from the economic mismanagement.
As for the Korea's, well what needs to be said.  Another scuffle.  Both sides always on the hunt for a row as the Kim (North) and Park (South) dynastic clans vie for supremicity.  One would have thought the South had won the economic argument but the North has the nuclear weapons.  The North pursued this goal  on the the sometimes accepted principle that a successful economic state acquires nuclear weapons as a sign of the nation's economic maturity.  North Korea had to consign its population to penury to achieve that.  North Korea has a elite that dines sumptuously as the rest of the people virtualy starve but for foreing food aid.  Unfortunately for North Korea, nuclear tipped missiles cannot be used for any military advantage because they do not work anyway.
India and Pakistan want the fighting along the Pakistani and Indian borders in the Kashmir to settle down.  India says it is terrorism and wants a conference to discuss measures to control "Terrorism".  But Pakistan wants to re-open discussions about the borders in Kashmir.  India said "no" to that idea so the Pakistanis pulled out of a schduled conference in a huff.  The spats along the border continue forcing citizens to flee homes "on both sides" of whatever borders are there.
All of these conflicts or disputes on top of the myriad others floating around in August 2015.  Additionally, we see this weekend, chaos on many borders (e.g., Greece-Macedonia, Calais, Italy on the Mediterranean) with the Muslim  refugees escaping territories covering a third to a half of the face of the globe.   We look at this in the context of Jesus' statement "Wars and Rumours of Wars", and with Jesus' and the the Old Testament's;  "Nation againt nation and kingdom against kingdom (civil wars)";  being particularly apt especially if the world's current events are the precise fulfillment of those prophecies.  However, it is always important to remember that the statements just quoted always had to occur within a very specific set of wider events as we endeavour to show in these pages and in the 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Sturdy Programme.  There may have been other eras of similar upset, e.g., the Thirty Years War (1618-48), the Crusades, the Year of Revolutions (1848) etc.
But those eras never saw anything like the Jews returning to their homeland from "the ends of the Earth".  Nor were world events globalised as they are now.  There was never any chance the world's finances would come under Babylon's control once again since 2000 BC and the Tower of Babel of ancient Shinar (Zechariah 5:6-11).  That is not until the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the Oil Embargoes.  They eventually led to a massive resource transfer since circa 1970-73 then into the money-coffers of states clustered around ancient Babylon's domain in Southern Iraq and the (currently pro-Israeli) upper Persian Gulf emirates (Sheba and Dedan?).  The Kurds (descendants of the ancient Chadeans) are once again figuring prominetly in the affiairs of the Middle East.  It has only been recently that we realised the Great Flood of the "Days of Noah", that Jesus gave sepcial warning of, formed the conditions for the ice-build-up at the poles and on the newly-formed mountain tops of 2450.  We now realise that the ice caps are retreating to signal a return to "The Days of Noah".  Before the Flood, there were no ice caps.  In Antarctica, 130 warm-water lakes are the result of melting ice at the very bottom of the ice cap which means  the melting ice has nothing to do with the earth's atmosphere which is warming up because the Earth is itself warming up with heat from the Sun and decaying radio-active elements deep inside the Earth's core.  Excess solar-heat gets stored in the Earth's core resulting in extra volcanic and earthquake phenomena.
In view of these last few points, and many others, the wars and rumours of wars about to happen around us need to be considered with heightened awareness and alertness for those "Last Days" so often mentioned in the Bible.  They are just the end of an era.  They are not the "end of the world".  From January  2001, Satan seems to have established his stamp on this millennium because Jesus is about to stamp Himself on the world's affairs fthrough the messianic Kingdom.  But Israel has to be brought to repentance first.  That is all part of God's Perfect, Acceptable and Good Will as He demonstrates Man's folly to man and angel alike and to prove His Point.  We think, but still cannot be dogmatic on the point, that on the ninth month of this millennium, a Roman woman gave birth to Satan's child as Genesis 3:15b says would be conceived (presumably on New Year's Day 2001!).
26/8/15, "Syria is ripping apart across every cleavage in society", a commentator discussing the wreckage in archaeological sites in Syria as ISIS either smashes ancient sites to smithereens or sells antiquities onto illegal markets to finance ISIS activities.   The "cleavages" he mentioned included social, political, economic, cultural etc.  He noted that in respect to these antiquities and archaeological sites, both the Assad and anti-Assad factions do in fact fight to preserve this heritage though on virtually every other front they are at war.  The archaeologists on the discussion panel noted that if the war is ever settled it will be the restoration of the nation's ancient heritage that will be a focal point of unity.  However, this view ignores the Bible's message that Syria's crisis is a microcosm of a far wider malaisee that is eating up the entire world.  Only Anti-messiah and Messiah can now pick up the pieces but the world will really only want the latter to.  Antichrist has his own evil purposes for the 'Peace' he will introduce.  It will be a false peace.  When people do say "Peace and Safety", the Bible says the destruction from God's angels then comes in the form of the Tribulation.  Antichrist's peace only comes about because Satan witholds his dogs of war.  Christ's Peace is the only true Peace (Shalom not Salaam). 
3/9/15, "We needd to tell their stories".  A UNICEF worker speaking on a radio station about the children of the refugee crisis.  She answered a questuon about donor fatigue and how she tried to engage enthusiasm for donors to give more.  Really we need to tell "His Story" because it is the Bible that warns of this crisis as mankind heads further into the Satanic millennium. The compares asked her what she thought about the causes of the Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan crises.  Why the other nations cannot starve the antagonists of weapons is the most glaring question to ask as one caller said but the woman got very little distance with the argument.  The world's current refugee crisis is obviously caused by forces greater than mankind.  
3/9/15, "59 million refugees now swarming the Earth", A UNICEF worker speaking on a radio station.  This appears to be a sharp increase on "52 million" in 3/6/15.  It means an increase of seven million in 3 months.  There may be some dispute about these figures but the order of magnitude seems about right.  It is an overwhelming crisis and there will be no surprise in these quarters if this crowd descends upon Israel soon (Ezekiel 38:1 to 39 :16).
7/9/15, "Guardian Newspaper calls for a New Civilization Paradigm".  This came across a radio talkback rogramme where an elderly lady had picked up this story off a Guardian website.  Apparently it refers to a need for a new Intelligence to solve world problems.  The World is probably going to get him soon.  His name is Antichrist-666. 
10/9/15, "Perceptions of the imminent second coming of Jesus affect American Foreign Policy".  That was the view of Mattehw Avery Sotton in American Apocalypse - Influence of Evangelicals in USA.  He was interviewed on the role of evangelicanism in American society, politics and foreign policy.  They talked about "World view" and the Bible with reference to "apocalypse" and "Rapture".  Sutton traced this back to the 19th century and the American Civil war. He lectures at Washington University.  Within the US, he claimed, Protestants have always dominated national politics.   He noticed that in those days American Christians began to go back to passages they had previously overlooked or stopped reading.  [He seemed to be unaware of the point we make that Daniel 12:4 & 9 and other verses in any case ruled out certain parts of the Bibe being understandable until around the time of the End anyway].  He noted that instead of feeling an obligation to make the world a better place, such 'evangelical' Christians began to see events in purely apocalyptic senses and no longer be interested in saving the world by making it a better place.  [On this point we state that God Himslef warned that the Tree of Knowledge would not save man and in fact eventually destroy him unless God did intervene at some point in History which He alone knows to be the best time to intervene.  However, God has not left us bereft of any signs with which to monitor developments, in particular through His Only Begotten Son's statements in the Gospels just before His Cricifiixion]  Sutton noted in the first two centuries Christians also believed in the second coming [and rapture separately we would amend] but by 200 AD, Christians were becoming more comfortable and acceptable in the world so they began to try to improve the world and work on that objective with their fellow men.
[That was certainly a laudable and reasonable strategy for the next 18 centuries until; it may be, we cannot be categorical; the Church Age would go through its seven stages as per the first three chapters of Revelation.  That would be the plan (Romans 12:2) until God began raising up Israel to re-contunie His fulfillment of the covenants with Abraham and David.  On that basis we study the prophecies with a degree of uncertainty over timing because, as we say elsewhere, we do not know if we are in the year 5775 since the Fall of Adam (Jewish Calendar) or some 5950 - 6000 or more years after the Fall.  The catastrophes led to a messing up of the earth's orbit by which we measure 'years' but no doubt God has a calendar-converter to overcomeor 're-calibrate'  for such difficulties humble man has to deal with in his imperfect knowledge].
Sutton referred to modern apocalyptic Christians as "Conservative Bible-literal Protestants".  [This writer does not consider himself a Protestant nowadays though did once].    Sutton drew out the same old hoary chestnut that "the term 'Rapture' is not in the Bible" and "only emerges in 19th century AD".  [Of course, in this 20 minute interview, there was no discussion of technicalities on this matter].  "Everyone left behind by the Rapture goes through the Seven year tribulation when antichrtist arises and then Jesus returns to destroy the devil etc".  He cited Matthew 24, "rumours of wars", and described the prophecies as "a really complucated system".  He said, [we would say 'correctly'] "the average church-goer would not be able to explain it all".  WWI was a major turning point.  In the 1920s arose the term "fundamentalists" [Actually 1910 probably at the US Presbyterian General Assembly of that year].  Because of some mistakes 1914-45, End-times theology re-invented itself after WWII especially with Billy Graham [though I am not so sure he is right there.  Later, Billy Graham is seen as a liberal].  Kathryn Ryan asked what has happened since these prosperity preachers have been marginalised aftre he metioned Pat Robertson and that ilk.  He said this form of evangelicalism does seem in retreat but polls still show many people still believe Jesus to be coming back by 2050.  There may even be a desire to make all this happen.  It means people are becoming more active in various ways of life because they do not want to be found wanting if Jesus returns suddenly.   He is interested in the way these evangelicals have affected politicians and the latter's inability to cut deals any longer with them on policy matters because the conclusion is foregone.  [The problem here is that policy makers will not discuss anyting that is not entirely evolutionist, materialist and secular.  There is no scope for the Christian to operate in this world which is why the author is relegated to cleaning toilets for a living and raison d'etre.  That is why "there is no incentive to compromise" in sutton's words.]  Suttone continued, "If they win an advantage in a deal then, "ok", but if they lose then that is also "ok".  So it is either a matter of winning or losing but no room for compromise in the middle.  A loss simply confirms their worst fears.  [Sutton is on the mark here.  What can we do, viz., homosexual marriage?  However, the real point there is that the churches should never have handed over marriage registers in the 17th or 18th century to governments].
Commenting on US Presidents, Sutton noted Reagan believed Jesus is coming soon but he still signed up with Russia to "stop more evil in the world".  [The author remembers the photos of the very masonic-like handshake of Reagan and his Russian counterpart.  It got world-wide photo publicity though very much sotto voce].  But Suttton is not sure Reagan really believed in Jesus.  [he probably did not.  he was probably a mason anyway].  "Every president of the USA has been protestant" with one catholic (Kennedy).  [Of course as we know the Catholics then take all the posts ubder the protestant.  Refer  Blessing 4Mv)].  There are many interest groups around evangelical voters and that attracts republican candidates.   
The discussion moved on to the return of the Jews to Palestine.  Sutton referred to a man named Blackstone in the 1880's.  Israelis understand that evangelicals are their staunchest supporters.  But "it's a strange relationship where both groups (evangelicals and zionists) are using each other".  These evangelicals are also wary of gobal institutions.  Madelaine Albright said how difficult it was for US policy mnakers to establish policy because of evangelical views.  Every time someone tries to put a break on fellow evangelicals someone else then stands up to carry on.  Sutton said apocalyptic books outsell Harry Potter in the USA. He compared the Rapture with the Second Coming;  "It is always at any moment not on a specific date".  Claimed evangelicals are always "re-calibrating" after a prediction does not fulfill. Sutton himself believed in the 1980s the world was finishing but he recanted and then became interested in studying the phenomenon more academically.  Kathryn mentioned disasters unfolding in Syria, ISIS and Russia-Crimea.  She asked if that is going to affect foreign policy stances.  "Perhaps Mike Huckabee will be influenced", he said, "but probably any candidate will be modified by the process and and bureaucrats".  [Nothing new in that and it happens in every system anyway!]  "But any candidate will still have to support Israel and oppose Islam.  That won't change".
[Our conclusion to this is to ask if this man's views are so professional, then why are the Egyptologists foisting a deliberately false history on us?  We know as stated elsewhere that Egyptologists are so acutely aware of the inadequacies of their Egyptology that they are being forced to re-design their model over the next "century" - but without telling the Public or their funding masters, presumably.  The wroiter obtained that information at a Colloquium on Egyptology at the British Museum in 2004.  So in the wake of Sutton's theory and criticism, let's look at History and Prophecy.  Each is integrated with the other, for one is the handmaiden of the other.  What we learn from one casts light on the other.  If history is being falsified, or deliberately manipulated, what is going on with prophecy and commentators like Sutton and the organs over which they are allowed to voice their opinions?  What sort of conspiracy is going on there between the "Prince of the Power of the Air" (Ephesians 2:2), Kathryn Ryan, Mr Sutton and Radio New Zealand management?   But the problem also emanates from the obvious nonsense behind their reasoning for Global Warming.  It is not fossil fuel abut energy from the sun and damage to the atmosphere following the Great Flood that is leading to things overheating on this globe.  Jesus expressed this in the term 'Days of Noah' and with His "great earthquakes" (the Greek may imply 'great') being a sign of the End.  In fact, therefore, the Intelligentsia knows full well the Bible does have an outline of the future, just as its outline of the past is impeccible, and an Apocalyptic Ending.  The Intelligentsia may even be using it to bring about their Babel Project and Antichrist to lead it.  The Matthew Suttons and Kathryn Ryans of this world are simply the Intelligentsia's stool pigeons to parrot-off stuff to confuse the average punter.
The following is an extract from Radio New Zealand's website on the interview:
American Apocalypse by Matthew Avery Sutton follows the stories of early evangelists, the meeting halls and publications that gave a specific world view of the Bible, Armageddon and a second coming of Christ. With backdrops of World wars, the Great Depression and threats from foreign super powers, the focus on an anhilistic outcome for non-Christians, has not been hard to sustain among religious conservatives and it's informed American politics on everything from the US position on the State of Israel to Obama Care and how Russia should be regarded.
11/9/15, "No such thing as a Missing Link" (in Evolutionism).  Interview on New Zealand radio station (7:55 am) with Taleb Gauche the BBC's science reporter.  Interestingly the man seems to have an Islamic first name while his second name means 'left' in French and has many negative connotations in English.  Makes one wonder if this chap is deliberately selected to be a spokesman because his masters are cynical liars as Evolutionism is.
11/9/15, "Lots of pre-human apes living in various parts of the world 2 million years ago".  That was the assessment of Mr Gauche the BBC science reporter in discussion with a NZ Radio reporter.  From one or some of these apes are we descended, supposedly, which again pushes us back now to 2 million years because other views hold that we come from a single ape about 150,000 years ago a figure that had been 1 million BC.  All very confusing.  Obviously we are all descended from Adam and Eve but no one wants to think about the consequences of that so this Evolutionism has become a collective amnesia to forget what God is telling us in the Bible.  Dr Velikovsky talked about a collective amnesia in regard to the catsstrophes in the past.  Since those catastrophes were indeed part of God's programme to get men to see sense there definitely does seem to be some sort of collective amnesia going on.  Apart from among Jesus' followers who are unaffected by all this.
11/9/15, "60 Million people around the world now displaced because of war, persecution etc", according to a radio reporter (8:36 am).  Refer to 3/9/15, where a figure of 59 million was reported and that was an increase from "52 million" in 3/6/15.  The earlier figures came from UNICEF.
11.9.15, "The field is in a state of flux," according to a commentator on human evolution speaking about the discovery and publication of a new hominid in South Africa.  An earlier report suggested these 'human' 2 million-year-old bones seemed to have been subject to a formal burial ritual.  But that would be "very surprising" 2 million years ago.  This commentator noted the date of these bones would partly depend on the "surrounding context" which is verbiage to hide the fact that they date such things on the basis of the age of the material they are found in.  But that is very unscientific because the material something is buried in has no relationship to the specimen being examined.  However, that vexing problem  never emerges from these discussions and reports.
16/9/15, "IT in schools not helping education standards", according to a news report on national radio.  It added that Asian schools, where computers and IT are not so heavily present in classrooms, were getting better standards and results than school systems which use lots of IT in classrooms.  We would say "Amen" to that as the report confirms our concern that Adam and Eve were accessing a touch-tronic computer plugged into God's Knowledge but that they were warned not to partake of what only God Himself could handle.  They failed to heed God's warning and the mess that has resulted by 2015 confirms God's wisdom in that.  But help is on the way.  Firstly, Satan will introduce his son the Antichrist-666 but when he then turns on Israel to destroy the Jews, they will seek Jesus of Nazareth whom their forbears rejected as Messiah of Israel and admit the confession of Isaiah 53.  As that prophecy shows, they will "look at long last to the One they esteemed not" or as Zechariah 12:10 says, "They pierced".  Jesus (Yeshua) of Nazareth (eth Nazar), the "Little Shoot" (Nazar) of Isaiah 11:1 will then save the world from its folly or intoxication with science, technology and engineering.  But it is also the world, the Bible's Goyim or 'Gentiles', that joins 'Israel' in continuing to reject the Son of God, the Son of David, the Son of the Woman of the prophecy of Genesis 3:15(a).  So in the short term, the World (including unsaved Israel) will get the son of the other woman of Genesis 3:15(b) or son of Satan (Seed of the Serpent).  [These issues are now routinely ignored by the Laodicean churches that predominate in this last stage of Christendom].  It is Satan who is the Prince of the Power of the Air (Ephesians 2:2) who still encourages Man to rely on the Knowledge Base, that he originally instigated Man to delve into against God's advice-command.  That (faulty) Knowledge Base is now generally accessible on the Internet.  But this system, though the writer here is using it, is imperfect.  It does not always work.   Nor do the machines that access it: tablets, laptops, mobile phones and smart phones; work well.  True Education really begins with submitting to God's Good, Perfect and Acceptable Will (Romans 12:2).  Even Muslims are vaguely aware of this point except that they refuse to submit to God in His Appointed Way.  Since 30 AD that has been through His Only Begotten Son who said, "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life, no one comes to the Father but by Me".  Ironically, it is only those saved by the Blood of Christ and who actively disciple their lives according to His teaching, who can fruitfully use The Internet and IT.  But we have our priorites correctly set.  One needs to learn before using computers and IT.  But many education systems get the horse before the cart.  Until now, the majority of IT users were people who had already been 'educated' by the time these tools became commonly available (diffused) in, let's pluck out a date, 1984!  The writer here, first regularly used in his employment (at a local Foreign Diplomatic Mission) a Wang Word Processor with WordPerfect 5;1 and Lotus 1-2-3 Data Processor in 1986.  
16/9/15, "East Antarctica Melting at a faster rate than had been thought". It appears the warmer water of the Ocean is managing to undermine a glacier that is usually protected by frozen sea ice.  A window for navigation to the tip of the glacier had surprisingly opened for some scientists to use an ice-breaker with a sufficiently experienced captain for exploration and research.  They went in to test the water temperature at the glacier tip [where it would meet the ocean but for the frozen sea-ice].  Also, they found a channel of ocean water deep under the glacier.  So they now think East Antarctica is contrubuting more water to the ocean from melting than previously thought.  It appears warm water is getting to this part of Antarctica.  [We could not be sure from this discussion because the interviewer failed to put the question, but it seems this part of Antarctica is exposed to the Indian Ocean which from other reports seems to be more seismically and volcanically active than in the recent past].  West Antarctica is likelty to first make a contribution to sea level rise whereas at present it is not.  But perhaps East Antarctica will now contribute to sea level rise at the same time or earlier than West Antarctica.  "We cannot stop the (melting-) process".  Suggests East Antarctica will contribute 5 centimeters to sea level rise at a 2 degeree (C) temperature rise.  But they incidentally noted, "All this has happened in the past".  So why is there a problem?  As sea levels rise there will be heavier flooding and erosion in parts of the globe where many cities and much GDP.   But a lot of those problems are due to subsidence in many parts of the globe or construction in flood-prone regions especially in places like Japan where earlier civilizations have marked the danger zones for tidal waves, flooding etc.  Serious flooding in Britain in the mid-2000's was costly because people had built houses on ancient flood plains.  The rainfall is getting heavier but injudicious investment in potentially prone areas exacerbate the problems and make 'climate-change' seem far fiercer than is really waranted.
Of more interest regarding Biblical Prophecy, and looking to the future rather than the past and present but integrating all three nevertheless, is the point that in the 1000-year Millennial-Messianic Kingdom rain will not fall on lands that fail to send delegations to the Annual Feast of Tabernacles (Zechariah 14:16-18).  This prophecy had seemed a bit bizarre until more recent discussions on 'Climate Change' or 'Global Warming' began to cast more light on the matter.  After Christ secures the Kingdom of God having defeated Antichrist at the end of the Tribulation, He re-formats the environment.  The environment was re-formatted after Genesis 1:2 told us that the Earth "became" a dark and wasted chaos.  There may have been some re-formatting in the wake of the Great Flood but the Bible seems to be silent on that if so.  Though there is no doubt of a re-formatting of the environment after Genesis 1:2 involving the creation and formation of flesh and plants from the mineral dust or detritus of the former mineral environment of the angelic era on Earth.  So what happens to the ice caps under this future millennial re-formatting scenario is unexplained.  However, if the Antarctic Ice Cap is to supply water for those rains for the duration of the Millennium, assuming the Arctic is too far gone by the time of Christ's return, another clue becomes apparent for the timing of the Second Coming.  [We prefer 'Last Coming' om the basis that Jesus arrived at the Incarnation (7 BC) then transported betwixt Heaven abd Earth several times in between His Resurrection and Ascension].  Reports that the ice-melt, at the poles, is accelerating suggests that the Days of Noahh are now well into their fulfillment hence the nearness of the Second Coming and imminency of the Rapture.  This may well be what climate change is really all about. It is the knowledge amongst some top thimkers that the Bible's timetable of History-Prophecy Continuum is alive and well and is really the only sure game in town.
17/9/15, 'I want to go to Europe, become an astronaut and find aliens".  The words of a young Syrian female refugee.  The Muslim clerics must have been choking in apoplexy on hearing something like that.  No wonder she is fleeing to the West.  No wonder some Muslim clerics and suporters amongst the likes of The Taliban, Bokor Harem, Wahabis, ISIS/ISIL, some Shiites perhaps, other Mahdiists such as the Yamadis of Pakistan, etc., etc., are reacting so vociferously and vehemently but in ways most of us, no matter what we believe, abhor.  Sadly, the young woman's ridiculous words and the false hope aspired to will be quite aceptable in the West especially amongst its Feminist-movement and Fellow-travellers.  Sensible and sane commentators, sadly only to be found now amongst believers in Jesus of Nazareth in these Last Days, will despair in the albeit partly correct revulsion the muslim clerics might find in such sentiments.  However, we are certainly nowhere near the same space as Islam and its fractious and internal divisions and contradictions.  In both the Secular-Humanist West and the Islamic Near-, Middle- and Far-East, bankrupt theology and philosophy is leading to horrendous non sequitors in debates and failed policies in government.
In these pages, we argue in favour of one particular Middle East Academy, the Prophets abnd Scribes of Ancient Israel in The Bible!  The aspirations and hopes of this young Syrian woman, barely out of childhood, is just another inevitable consequence of Man taking of God's Tree of Knowledge against God's instruction then Man setting up his own Tree of Knowledge (The Internet, University Lbraries, Journals etc) in the absence of being able to access God's any longer.  God's tree was 777 and perfect.  And of course, until his rebellion, the Man had access to the Tree of Life as well.  Man's attempt at a Tree of Knowledge yields a 666 and imperfection or incompleteness as represented by the '@' where the circle around the letter 'a' is incomplete.  In Blessing (1Aii) @all Browsing, Sampling, Consuming, Touching, Eating (Knowledge and Computer Searching), we note that the incomplete circle in the "@" (The At Sign) also denotes the possibility that we have now nearly come full circle from that fateful day in the Garden of Eden (Hebrew, "Gan-Eden" = Garden).  And we are finding out that all this knowledge we have built up is indeed failing us in the aggregate, though not in some eddies of the streams and rivers of knowldege.  Indeed the consumption of the Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge or the Tree of Knowing Good and Evil; or both sentiments combined and integrated;  is killing us or will kill us eventually.  Someone must step in.  The Bible tells us that Jesus of Nazareth will intervene before "all flesh is lost" but the counterfeit Christ, the Satanic Antichrist-666 wil come first.   To conclude, sadly like her mother Eve, this young Syrian woman is enticed by the fruits of the Tree of (Western) Knowledge.
17/9/15, "Scientists looking for signs of life on Europa", a moon of Jupiter, Apparently this moon is full of salt water.  It receives no light from the sun, however, they point out that life exists on earth without light deep in the ocean and in deep caves.   Space craft electronics do not work well in the environs of Jupiter because of the intense electro-magnetic activity which is exactly what Velikovsky predicted.  But it is via this sort of electro-magnetic activity that they deduce there are salty waters because they seem to be able to transmit electro-magnetic activity.  However, readers need to be aware, that is not proof that Europa has oceans of salt water that therefore may contain life (of any sort).  Europa's orbit around Jupiter is slightly eliptic which means the moon gets stress cracks in its outer crust that surrounds or envelops the suspected ocean below.  Jupiter's Gravity or electro-magnetics causes this each two or three days the moon takes to orbit the planet.  It takes 6 years for human satellites to get there.  To carry a suitable suite of instruments for in-depth scientific analysis is proving difficult because of Jupiter's electro-magnetics etc.  Therefore they are still a long way off trying to land a probe on Europa that could send any useful information back to Earth.  Incidentally, the woman interviewed also said, obiter dicta, "we have landed machinery on the moon", then continued to contrast that relatively simple task to the complexities involved with the same task for Europa.  Did she therefore inadvertently admit or at least imply only machines have been put on the Moon?   Thus, she left open the question whether Man had landed on the Moon.  A disarmingly charming example of the woman's capacity to be deceived and fall into philosophical traps like the one Satan set up for Eve?  Later she said we are "looking at ways to get there in three years".  To the question from the radio interviewer why we do all this, her response was that "we are humans, we wamt to understand our environment and we have a need to explain our place in the universe.  Also, our work is so inspiratoional that it encourages kids to get involved with science and engineering".  [We don't of course want to discuss the possibiluty that God created the Universe and that much of what we see around us in the Cosmos is disaster, decay, confusion etc., and that if we look far enough out, effectively backwards in Time and Space, we see a stable un-chaotic and "Steady State" Universe (Hoyle, Wickramsingh et al).  That boundary represents the point in Time and Space when the angelic rebellion occurred perhaps 4.5 billion years ago.  Although in an earlier comment in this interview we were told that Europa is only 60 million years old.  Was the angelic rebellion that recent?  It is possible.  But the confusion or disparity in data is the scientists' problem.  If they do not know whether the chaos in the Universe is 4.5 billion or 60 million or 40 million years ago, nor do we but all three answers are in harmony with the Bible]. 
17/9/15, "The Apiollo Moon Mission had less computing power than today's fanily car".  A claim made in an advertisement on New Zealand television.  While this may be a great boast, deconstructing the statement tells us that a moon mission today should be a relatively simple affair.  ASo why aren't they?  Space engineers have landed a robot on  Mars, some scientific equipment on a comet but no one has been to the moon for about 43 years.  As the above item notes, Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is going to be very difficult to explore because of the intense radio-magnetic or electro-magnetic environment around Jupiter which Velikovsky predicted would or should exist.  Velikovsky also believed Jupiter ejected Venus in circa 1500 BC and that the proto-planet then interfered with the orbits of Earth, Mars and Mercury.  For about 800 years the solar system thus became quite unstable.  Associated catastrophic events in the inner solar system involving new planet Venus settling down to its current highly eccentric revolution on its own axis and around the Sun, resulted in some dramatic environmental, seismic and geological changes on Earth.  
But regarding the Moon, one would have thought moon exploration should be far more extensive than it is.  Actually, moon exploration has effectively been absent.  Far more effort has been put into Martian exploration or indeed on Antarctica which is almost as hostile an environment than the Moon - supposedly, anyway.  So why is the Moon ignored?  Probably because it is simply a lump of rock with no mineral use.  There is not even any mining on the Moon.  When this writer was young, one was told that the Moom would yield minberals rather than having to rip up beautiful forests and habitats on Earth.  But if they found out there was nothing of value o the moon in the explorations of the early 1970's that explains why no further action was taken to develop the Moon's reputed mineral and metals potential.  But that answer then means the Moon thus could not have been formed with the Earth billions of years ago out of detritus revolving around the Sun.  Is the Moon so radically different that it must have come from somewhere else?  If that is the case, then why cannot Velikovsky be correct about what he says of Venus, Mars and Mercury?   Furthermore, does this not mean that God took a dead lump of rock and stick it close to the Earth in order to, as the Hebrew makes very clear,  "regulate times and seasons" as Genesis points out.  Velikovsky's mechanisms; more or less confirmed by Einstein and definitely confirmed on some issue by later developments;  could explain why or how Venus could interfere with the inner solar system and create major cide-effects on the other bodies therein.  But they could not explain the Moon's proximity to the Earth and the relationship and comparative sizes and distances between the Earth, Moon and Sun that yield so many fascinating observations which we canot go into here.
Some argue, often quite cogently, that no man has ever set foot on the Moon.  Implicitly, that argument means that only machinery has been put there (refer Europa above).  No matter whether Apollo Mon Landing Conspiracies are true or false, the real point is that nothing is going on with the Moon and that almost certainly is because it has no other use for us than its purpose as set by God a few days before He created Adam some billions of years after Satan had fallen.  If it happens to be true that no man has ever landed on the Moon then that would certainly be a sensible reason to explain why there has been no exploration of the Moon, and its reputed rich store of resources, for 43 years or so.  But the astronauts sware they did go there.  The trouble is that what those astronauts did therefore effectively discover is that what Genesis says about the Moon and its relationship with Earth is precisely for the reasons stated therein (as a 'regulator' see above).
But the intelligentsia and the elite(s) do (does) not want the public to know that.  As we note in these and many other pages, the distortion to Truth now going on in so many facets of life on Earth is becoming a major and deep embarrassment to the Elite-Intelligentsia which is trying to stop at nothing to suppress any real debate.  The Elite-Intelligentsia recruits simpletons or fellow travellers to continue debate through media such as radio, TV, magazines and newspapers, even the Internet to talk around major paradigm errors with discussion of minor issues or peripherals to give the appearance of real debate about fundamentals.  In particular, the Churches are now suppressed in the same regard.  The Synagogues likewise knuckle down in submission.
But in some Muslim institutions, or mosques, there is a counter-reaction.  Sadly, unfortunately and regrettably, that is based on even more nonsensicle stuff than the evolutionism and materialism of the Elite-Intelligentsia [now of both East and West Academies.  Refer Blessing (4Niii) Pre-Cursor to Antichrist III : Bankrupt Academies].  There we point out that the many problems besetting the world, many emating from bankrupt academia, will need some extraordinary solution and an extraordinary person to lead all that.  This will be one raison d'etre for the Antichrist-666.  The world would be far better listening to God's Word especiually in the One Who is "The Word became Flesh" in "Jesus of Nazareth".  The world needs to lsten to His teachings.  That emphatically does not mean the Pope and leaders of his organisation!        
17/9/15, "New British Labour Party Leader elected by Social Media".  Only 10% of party members in that vote had been members for at least 5 years.  Most of those who voted were very recently enrolled with a  $US5 membership fee.  
17/9/15, "Democratic credentials of social media not as 'democratic' as generally thought".  The opinion of the author of The Blunders of our Governments.  He noted political parties are now fragmented geographically.  Conservatives dominate Enagland and Wales outside the major cities which are Labour strongholds.  The SNP is in virtually total domination in Scotland.
17/9/15, "IT Projects classic cases of Government Blunders", The opinion of the author (Sir Ivor Crewe) of The Blunders of our Governments. He also cited Margaret Thatcher's Poll Tax as another classic blunder.  People began to delete themselves off electoral rolls and many refused to pay the tax forcing councils to take them to court.  But that proved too difficult with the widespread campaign to refuse payment.  However, IT problems have hit most Governments and many times.  The whole problem of the Westphalian Plan to wire-up the world via Governments in preoaration for the Antichrist is destroying the credibility of the governments themselves.  The end of governments was prophesied in II Thessalonians 2:7 though the precise mechanism of removal is not expounded in that passage which refers to the lawlessness that will precede the downfall of governments and the rise of Antichrist.  On the matter of 'lawlessness', the reaction and revolt to Thatcher's Poll Tax, a mistake which could be seen as the beginning of her downfall, was in itself an element of lawlessness.  All Thatcher was trying to do was more fairly redistribute the burden of paying for local council services everyone used.  But hordes of thugs, essentially, decided they did not want to contribute.  That happened at the end of the second last decade of the previous millennium (1980's).  Since 2001, we seem to have been in the Satanic Millennium not really kick-started until the birth of his son on 11/8/01.   If this model of explaining the world's current predicament is correct, "9/11" is the parallel to the announcement from the angels to the shepherds near Bethlehem that the Saviour of the World had arrived.  Satan is trying to fool the world that his 'saviour' has arrived.  But the world knows this not!  So far, the world has not esteemed its future leader, perhaps seven years from now when he is 21.  Or perhaps this child will wait until he is "About Thirty Years Old"!  Perhaps we will have to wait for 2030 AD when the Church is 2000 years old for him to make his move.  So it is all very interesting, especially if in these pages we are correctly reading and interpreting the Scriptures.    
17/9/15, "Members of Parliaments, and government officials, now come from very narrow sections of society", Writer of The Blunders of our Governments.  This is yet another aspect of a problem that ends with the removal of government.  The immediate reaction is to see these people being well-off middle and upper classers.  But many MPs are activists promoting minority issues.  For example, environmentalists, homosexuals, abortionists, climate change activists, gun lobbyists, or, in muslim countries especially,  religionists representing sects that cannot find any room for compromise so necessary in essential government functions like transportation, sanitation, mutual defence against viruses or armies etc.  The implication from God's warning to Adam and Eve to leave the Tree of Knowledge alone was that at the end of his run, Mankind would be squeezed into an impossible set of crises that he simply cannot extricate himself from.  The terribly inept performance of the UN Security Council, especially its Five Permanent Members (China, Russia, Britain, France and USA) to stop the carnage in Syria some 4.5 years into the vortex is the most glaring example of human ineptitude 6000 years or so since Adam made that first fatal decision of disobedience.
20/9/15, Tarshish Leadersip appeals to Assad to join Syria Peace Talks.  This came at a meeting between the US Secretary of State, Mr Kerry, ad the British Foreign Secretary (Philip Hammond) at the latter's "Residence" in London.  "We are prepared to negotiate with Assad; is he prepared to?", asked Mrt Kerry.  "Assad does not have to depart on Day One or Month One" but Tarshish's leaders are still standing on Assad's eventual retirement or removal from the Syrian Presidency.  Kerry explained "we are not being doctrinaire about specific dates" in his appeal to the Russians to bring Assad to the negotiating table to enter a frank and (apparently almost) unconditional dialogue.  (It still appears Assad's eventual departure is not negotiable because his fellow Syrian opponents are determined on this).  Kerry seems to be hopeful Russia can now bring Assad to the table so that the appalling disaster that is Syria can have some hope of ending. [Special note; The writer remembers reading (about ten years ago) an American magazine like Forbes or The New Yorker with a map of a cantonised Syria on its front cover.  Inside, the magazine drew a series of new borders splitting Syria into several small states including one for the Alawites (Assad's group) and an enclave for the Druze near the Israel-Lebanon border.  It raises the possibility the Syrian Crisis is connecetd with the Westphalian Plan we write about though the plan has spectacularly failed for this particular country established out of the ashes of the French Mandate that managed parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire for the League of Nations at the conclusion of WWI].   
Oddly enough, the fireplace behind Messrs Kerry and Hammond was particularly interesting for our analysis. On it there was a pattern of castle turrets that could be identified by the viewer.  These two 'foreign secretaries' of the US and UK, are leaders of NATO or North Atlantic Tarshish Organisation, our slightly tongue-in-cheek definition of the acronym.  This pattern on the tiles was of turrets on a castle in slightly stylised form.  These 'turrets' seen, for example, on the castle or 'rook' of the chess game, are the migdols of the Bible.  Migdols are towers and turrets, words themselves derived from the Hebrew for the ancient capital of Tyre which became famous for its turreted compounds for storage of precious merchandise.  From the turreted towers ('turret' and 'tower' being the same word in effect) Tyrian archers fired down at potential attackers or robbers seeking to plunder Tyre's wealth.  Tyre even built such cities in Israel in Solomon's time for he gave twenty of those cities to Hiram king of Tyre to administer.  So there was much potential symbolism behind the pattern on that fireplace which most people would be blissfully unaware of.  Did the promoters of that meeting between Hammond and Kerry know that?  Was there some deliberate motive behind that shot, and choie of venue, on the TV screens one could observe - if one knew what was really being said through the 'photo-opportunity'?
Tarshish comprised(s) the 'daughter nations' of Tyre and appears in Last Days prophecies especially in Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16.  In Ezekiel, Tarshish seems to be opposed to a cunning or devious plan to invade Israel after it has been "restored from the sword" and its inhabitants "gathered from many nations" (Ezekiel 38:8).  That statement follows a whole chapter devoted to a picture of Israel being like a valley of sun-parched human bones.  Suddenly, they are joined back together to form skeletons which then receive flesh.  But there is no breath in the walking bodies that the prophet saw in his vision (Ezekiel 37:1-28).  So this evil or devious 'plan' in Ezekiel 38:1-39:16 appears to be devised by players from the region of "Rosh, Meshech and Tubal" almost universally agreed to be Russia, Moscow and Tubalsk in Siberia (or Tiblisi in Georgia-Gogia).  [We also look at the possibility 'Gog' relates to the Caucasus (Gogasus).  That is a very large large area covering Kazakhstan, Checheniya, Georgia, Armenia etc[.  Thus, some ask, "Is this 'Syrian crisis' part of the 'plan'?"  Russia's significant involvement in Syria as the Assad regime's main backer alongside Iran another important participant in the anti-Israel alliance of Ezekile 38 certainly raises our suspicion something sneaky is going on.  The Big Powers' arrangement with Iran in mid-2015 to get better monitoring of Iran's nuclear programme is also possibly part of an elaborate wider 'plot' or 'plan' into which Tarshish ever so imperceptibly is sliding into. So Russo-Iranian meddling in Syria looks doubly suspicious.  In Hebrew, the actual words for this 'plot-plan' could be translated as "mischief-making" or "mischieving a mischief".  All in all, the 'plot-plan', perhaps 'conspiracy', "evil plan" (Ezekiel 38:10) or 'evil device', assming the current rises and the prophecy are to be matched together, seems to be part of a very complex situation involving a broad alliance of anti-Israelite nations.  In this prophecy, "Tarshish"; no longer "Tyre" long-since sacked; seems to be a possibly incapacitated or neutralised sideline observer as this plan unfolds into concrete action.
"Tarshish", we calculate, probably means one of two things.  Either it means the 'overflow of Tyre' where the Middle Eastern (or Hebrew) words shuwk or sheshach have connotations of a crowded market where people are overflowing or of a river overflowing its banks, both pictures quite similar of course.  Or, Tarshish means a 'Man (ish) of Tyre (Tar, Tor)'.  Such 'men' were indentured labourers (a la New Zealand Company employees and passengers from 1840 onwards).  From circa 900 BC, these ancient Tyrians (a.k.a Dorians) and fellow cosmopolitan sojourners including a great many Africans (of Ophir or Aufirah in Hebrew), went to far outposts of the Tyrian mercantile adventure to work for Tyre and manage her economic, agricultural, financial or industrial operations.  These 'men' could be mining tin in Cornwall (or Ophir in Malaya), farming livestock or managing crops.  They ventured out on a, probably long-term, contract or brit.  So they were also Brit-ish.  Money could be made from these lucrative service contracts because the Tyrian entrepreneur would pay premium wages (salary from the Latin for salt) especially if their commercial risk or Punt came off.  To amuse themselves in their leisure time, these workers, colonists, indentured labourers, even with the bosses perhaps, played sports such as early forms of rugby and football.  One port- or punt-colony on the coast would challenge another further up or down that coast.  They would meet half-way with an animal's bladder pumped up with air, or use some other object, and see who could wrestle, run, or kick their way with the bladder-ball back to home base and win the contest.  These competitions (com-punt-ians, com-pent-iums) must have been blood-warming exercises in the oft-cool temperatures of the British Isles and north-west France (Brittany) in that early era of global warming as the ice caps began retreating after the 2450 BC Disaster-Flood).  Modern rugby still reflects these contests with long kicks known as punts and short kicks called speculators.  The modern Irish, Americans, and Australians have invented, or retained, versions of the old game, also with the long-range punt-kick, while the 19th Century AD English developed three new forms known as: Association Football (Soccer) now of the English FA, the European EUFA and the World FIFA;  Rugby Union; and Rugby League.  But all this history is lost on most of mankind.  The Greco-Roman controlled Academy reflecting the Greeks' and Romans' intense hatred and jealousy of ancient Tyre and Tarshish, suppresses by use of various techniques, all discussion of both Tyrian (Dorian) and Ionian (Jewish) influence that predominated in the millennium before Christ.
Much later, and closer to the present, from the 16th Century AD, the British went to the Americas along with other men of Tarshish living and working in Spain (Punt, Pontos), Portugal (Port of Gebal?), France or Holland.  Although about 900 BC, Gibraltar had become a joint colony of both Gebal (Byblos) and Tyre it then became a focus of contention between South Tarshish (Spain) and North Tarshish (Britain) from the 18th century AD.  Gebal-Tyre or The Rock of Gibraltar at the tip of the Iberian or Spanish-Portuguese Peninsula has been under British control for two or three centuries now.  So before that 16th Century AD expansion, about 900 BC, beyond the Pillars of Hercules and out into the Atlantic, there flowed out the men of Tyre as they colonised Morocco and Moor-a-tania (Mauritania) and Atlantic sea-board Europe throughout the millennium before Christ.  That ancient expansion we could label the Aleph-expansion or First-Expansion of Japeth-Tyre-Tarshish.  The 16th Century Expansion we therefpre label the Tav or Last Expansion.   The descendants of the First began colonising the Americas 1.5 millennia after the Ascension of Christ (30 AD) and on the back of the long-running, slow, steady and gradual demise of China which eventually lost its hold on the Eastern Hemisphere (Torres Strait across the Pacific and Americas to the mid-Atlantic Azores).  That situation had long ago (circa 2450-2100 BC) been prophesied (Genesis 9:27-8).  Noah told Japeth, probably his third son, whose decsendants settled Jaffa between 2450 and 2000 BC that he would be "enlarged".  When God first called Abraham in 2000 BC, He told Abraham, a descendant of Shem, that eventually Jaffa would become part of his descendants' country, i.e., Israel.  That is where we find Ancient Japeth's town of Jaffa-Yafo today.  It is a southern suburb of Tel Aviv a 30 minute walk from the beach-end of Allenby Street (named after the British and Japethite General) by the junction with Ben Yehudah Street ('Son of Judah').  But Noah's prophecy about Japeth had a rider that he would always dwell within the tents of Shem who was the Noahic ancestor of the Jews and Abraham's and Isaac's other sons' descendants the Arabs.  There is much riding on that aspect but that is for another page.
That meeting of two important, but increasingly impotent, foreign secretaries standing by a homely residemtial fireplace bearing a pattern of stylised turrets may be telling us much more than we might at first sight perceive.  On the other hand, that pattern on the fireplace is mere coincidence.  Nevertheless, there is plenty of other information that supports the contentions in this essay.  
20/9/15, "Does he have the magic, still Young, still charismatic"?  From a TV news report about the Greek Prime Minister who has been brave enough to take on the Germans and the EU Bankers.  He tried but failed to negotiate a better financial deal for Greece.  So he went back to the people for another election.  In so doing, he has put the matter back to the people as he sought, and got, a renewed mandate for his leadership.  But the comment resonates with us as we consider the future Antichrist-666 who wil be praised in such glowing terms:  his youth and charisma or as we know demonic powers to deceive and flatter.  The commentator continued, "He (the Greek PM) has kept Greece in the Euro but has not eased the Austerity".  Another observer said the PM is less tainted by corruption than the older members of the Greek Parliament.  But the "Spark" of the Syriza Party "has gone" said another.  The next day, the main opposition party to Syriza conceded defeat.  [Note:  Syriza is an acronym meaning the "Radical Coalition of the Left".  Oddly enough, etymologically speaking, this acronym echoes the Hebrew for Tyre or Tzor (Tsor).  When ancient scripts were written from right to left as Hebrew still is, translators or transliterators frequently did not reverse the letters when transferring them into a left-right Script like Latin.  To account for that we sometimes therefore reverse the letters of a word usually only if it is a place, name or title.  Doing that with "Syriza" and omitting the vowel 'a', we get Tziry-s or perhaps Tyrus, a classical Greek form of the name Tyre.  But we cannot put any reliance on this.  There is not enough raison d'etre to do so for now unless modern Greece's shadowy powers behind the throne are also trying to say something to us.  There might be some very interesting consequences if we are on the track of something here].     
20/9/15, "First Latin American Pope".  From a report on the Pope's visit to Cuba and the USA.  We would stress that he is the First Argentine or Silver Pope and that resonates with the antichrist whose names (first- and surname) respectively reflect gold and kingship.  We wonder if this is a pope that will in effect play the role not of antichrist but as his false prophet.  Satan, with his Antichrist, has to counterfeit the true Tri-Unity.  That means he needs a parallel of Father (Satan), Son (Antichrist) and Spirit (False Prophet).  This is just a parallel or template of course but the template also continues in requiring a parallel for the Elijah who precedes and prepares Israel for the true Chtist.  As Jesus Himself said, "Elijah could have been John the Baptist".  But as a result of the Jewish leadership's rejection of  both John and Jesus, as would happen in the implicit prophecy of Exodus 4:8(a).  Israel would from then on (30 AD) have to awaith the actual Elijah.  He must therefore return from the ether or the place in 'Time and Space' to which he was transported into for a brief moment in (His)  Time and Space.  Elijah's sojourn in Time and Space, now dimly understandable to our cosmologists and theorists of Time and Space has so far lasted for at least 2800 earth years.  This is now-standard physics.  The Muslims call this "Ether" or 'Time and Space', "The Occult", though we would not use that term because of its modern Hollywood and demonic implication.  The Muslim Mahdi or Messiah returns from that 'occult'.  That's how the Muslims spin the Holy Scriptures along with their Koran and Hadith (Sayings).  So this pope with the name Gog Mario Bar-Goglio, and connotations with silver, the lesser precious metal to gold, could be an interesting candidate to fulfill a preparatory role for Antichrist-666.  Christendom's commentators have long speculated Popes are the Antichrist.  But there have been hundreds of popes.  Some popes may well have been anti-Christian (I John 2:18) but that does not make the The Antichrist.  Popes in any case worship gods of their fathers.  The Antichrist does not.  
20/9/15, "Once a believer always a believer".  Raoul Castro shocked Cubans by saying he would go back to praying after his visit to Rome.  The Castro brothers were educated by Jesuits.  But the Castros later declared themselves Atheists and reportedly threw priests and nuns out of Cuba.  Other Cuban Catholics were later afraid to even baptise their babies in the face of the Castros' anti-catholicism.  [Fundamentalist Christians who believe only adult Baptism of full immersion meets the Biblical standard might well say the Castros did Cubans a favour on that one].  But commentators are asking if the younger Castro is at least returning to his childhood faith.  Raoul seems eager to embrace this Latin American Pope who like the Castro brothers dislikes the evils of modern capitslism.
On the the theological point, it is true to say "Once Saved, always saved".  But that depends on the salvation being true in the first place.  However, in the final analysis only God Himself can be the real judge of that situation in any individual.  The comment reflects 2000-year old arguments between Calvinists, Catholics and other Christendomites about who is soteriologically saved, when that salvation actually occurs and whether it can be lost.  The correct argument indicates that once Christ has won a soul to His side, when that person first truly believes, then nothing can separate the believer from the Love of God (Romans 8:38-39).  Many in Christendom including Lutherans, to show this is not just a Roman Catholic interpretation of Scripture, believe in some form of loss of Salvation having once received it.  The main source of this mistake is to overlook the fact that in The Book of Hebrews there is a warning to Jewish believers in Jesus of Nazareth not to return to temple worship.  Particularly in the environs of Jerusalem, there was a temptation to do that to ease persecution, economic marginalisation and job discrimination by unbelieving Jews who were pressuring the 'Christian Jews' to show solidarity with them.  Hebrews warned them with the reminder that if they did go back to temple worship and animal sacrifices they would come under the forthcoming physical judgement on Jerusalem that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24:2 concerning no stone being left unturned in the temple when the Romans would sack it between 66-70 AD.  Hebrews 6:6 says the Christian Jews will receive the same physical destruction the other Jews would.  It was not a reference to their soteriological salvation.  If an individual believer did return to temple worship it might well indicate he was not saved in the first place as already noted.  But no one observing from the outside could ever discern that.  What would be observable would be a certain death or loss of all possessions and ability to earn a living when the judgement came.  Though, if one who erred in this respect were actually saved after all that then they would be saved as it were by fire.  Christendom frequently confuses the two aspects of salvation- one physical the other soteriological (of the Soul).  The Castros, in all probability, were never saved soteriologically.  That option to acccept Jesus' death, burial and resurrection to redeem them and bring them ultimately into the Eternal Kingdom of God s still available to them and to anyone who accepts what Jesus of Nazareth the Christ-Messiah did for them on the Cross.
20/9/15, Castro and Pope agree to cmbat the evils of modern capitalism.  The problem here is that capitalism is being mistaken for consumerism and its handmaiden the Philosophy of Materialism.  It is quite correct to abhor modern consumerism.  True Capitalism is really about not-consuming a portion or share of that which has been produced.  That is in order to save for rainy days (times of shortage) or for future investment.  Joseph, the son of Jacob-Israel, led the way when he re-organised the ancient Egyptian economy to prepare for seven years of famine following seven years of plenty.  Our modern economic (stock) cycles are typically over a period of seven years and the Jewish Jubilee system operated over seven seven-year cycles plus a Fiftieth or Jubilee Year.  In that Jubilee year all non-urban land was returned to the descendants of the original owners going back to the distrribution of the land in the days of Moses and Joshua.  Also, long-term debts were forgiven.  England's King Henry VIII adopted the principle of this system and applied it to English lands owned by the Vatican.  He took the land off the Vatican and gave it to sheep farmers (in effect).  After all, the Vatican had required Henry to marry his late brother's wife under the Mosaic system.  Henry naturally enough decided to be consistent.  However, the Mosaic system only applied to Israel within her natural boundaries.  There was never any intention on God's part to export the system to other parts of the world.  Modern Economics has been tryin to devise a replacement system  but still does use some aspects from the Mosaic system from time to time and from place to place.  The Left-Right Wing specturm is an attempt to achieve Mosaic objectives via either the Proletariat owning all means of production (Communism) or indivuduals holding parcels of productive capacity (Capitalism).  Most modern economies are mixed in this respect.  Some mixed economies like Venuezela veer more toward communist policies.  Others like the USA veer toward the opposite end of the spectrum.  Possibly, for now, only North Korea can truly be said to run a proletariat-style communist regime.  The Pope and the Castro Brothers may want to be careful what they actually try to defeat.  Economies that allow private and public companies, cooperatives, and fair unsubsidised trade within, across or without borders, tend to be more successful thatn rigid communist regimes.  A measure of true capitalism seems to have assisted South Korea whereas the North is now far less successful.  Cuba could well do better if it freed the internal economy. However, there may also be a deeper point to the Pope's and the Castro's scepticism about the world economy.  There are now such large corporations and very powerful holders of masive sums of money able to mess around with individua economies, though not yet the world economy.  In that environment, formailsed economic policies backed by strong theoretical and empirical observations that have been developed over the last century or so may no longer be working.  In Greece's debate with its bankers and the EU, it appears lenders are giving very little attention to debt-relief, -restructuring, -refinancing or -rescheduling.  That is very un-Mosaic.  A sure outcome of taking of the Tre of Good and Evil Knowledge was always going to be a strugg;le to keep economy in balance.  Over 6000 years many variations have been tried under a plethora of different resource bases, climatic conditions, human resources including education but to no long-term avail.  The post WWII boom (1945 onwards) is thought to have been the most successful period of economic progress based as much of it was on productivity leaps fostered by innovation.  But now the whole world economic system seems headed for the sand-hills with no region or country left to take up the slack or lead.  These are ripe conditions for the Antichrist.  Is the Pope preparing the way for him with visits to Cuba and the USA? 
20/9/15, "Pope says, 'We are living in WWIII by installment'".  That was how the Silver (Argentine) Pope's words were translated by one international television ews service as the Pope was speaking to a group or crowd in Cuba.  If these words and sentiments have been correctly transmitted, we could not fail to agree and even admire the choice of words.  "Give credit where credit is due" is an excellent motto which sadly few are prepared to concede.  But we have no difficulty conceding that in these pages despite, or inspite of, our great concerns with the entire Roman Catholic Venture.  We have no argument it has a right to exist and express its opinion.  We just generally, and on most things disagree.  We will not comment any further here and just let the statement stand for people to digest.               
20/9/15, "Google planning autonomous vehicles to be the norm by 2030". Google also has plans to merge with Nokia's "mapping business".  Software players are employing former executives in auto industries to help them  "converge other technologies with the technologies of the modern motor car".   Will this produce a Google- or Apple-Car in the future?   Again we are witnessing a logical development of the taking of the tree of knowledge.  It was a touch-tronic computer not an apple!  Apparently this latest plan for Google comes to fruition in 2030 the 2000th anniversary of the foundation of the Church of Christ.  It will also be very close to the 6000th year after the Fall of Adam.  If a day is a thousand years with God, are we now very close to the end of the Six Day Working Week for fallen man on earth with his attempt to make life perfect with science and technology?  Is there any significance that the year 1967 which saw the Six Day War when Israel totally defeated a far greater military host, also signalled the beginning of the ride towards the Internet System forecast to become a mind of its own in 2030?  Was 2001 the beginning of the Satanic Millennium?  Are we now entering a period where the Antichrist-child, born circa 11/9/01, grpws to maturity at age 30 when he begins his rise to power.  Or does that take place from around his twentieth year?  According to Biblical Prophecy, these things do appear to have to take place at some stage even if that is a long time away, a much longer time than the next 15 years or so.
20/9/15, "Many of our world firsts became industry standards years later".  Evidence of the way the world's economy, science and technology have been planned for decades, or even centuries now.  It shows how in this Antichtrist millennium, if that is indeed where we are now, everything is being controlled by a select group of players directing the Babel Project we have written of elsewhere.  It is usually claimed "The Market" determines these directions.  Markets clearly work well in some sectors but world-wide?  It is reasonably obvious they do not and that someone or something or an ellite of some sort directs matters globally.  The failure to do anything serious about the Syrian crisis either indicates that the world leaders have no say over events or that they are deliberately letting Syria's crises rumble on.  Otherwise, we have to assume that some sort of elite is manipulating governance in general and that governments as we know them are becoming irrelevant which is exactly the point of Apostle Paul in II Thessalonians 2:7.  Furthermore, as Paul pointed out, this removal of government (the 'he' or 'it' of II Thessalonians 2:7) is preceded by lawlessness.  And we see plenty of that!
21/9/15, "ISIS is spreading through the Middle East like a cancer", according to an Iraqi refugee expressing appreciation to the Croatians who had helped him move on into Europe to escape the chaos in Iraq.  He thanked the Croatians for treating him better than his own countrymen did.
21/9/15, "Somali Fundamentalist Muslim rebels re-establishing in Puntland".  The reporters for this TV news item also referred to "Puntland" as "North East Somalia".  They are having to do this as they retreat from military pressure from armed forces of the allied governments of Somalia (South), Ethiopia, Kenya and other nations too, probably.  But Puntland-North-East Somalia was once known as British Somaliland.  Prior to WWII, the Italians colonised the southern area of Africa's 'Horn' which is "Somalia".  But "Ethiopia's" territory pokes in the side of Somalia forcing the latter to be split into a northern and eastern (or perhaps southern) section.  That makes Somalia hard to govern stretched out as it is around "Ethiopia" (the former Abyssinia) like a sort of boomerang.  It has always been a difficult area to bring under Westphalian style nation-statehood not least because of its history as a nation of pirates.  Part of the region of modern 'Puntland', a.k.a., British Somaliland, is an area once known by its stamps as "Afar and Issas".  'Afar' is a variant of the place-name "Ophir" or the Auphirah of the Bible.  One variation of the Bible's Auphirah better reads, transliterated into English, as Ofir.  But these references are just an echo of the name once given to all Auphricha (i.e., Africa).  So the geography, history, historical cartography here is very much under the spotlight.  We will explain.  
Ancient Egyptians often referred to a place called "Punt".  It was a special place.  They even ascribed the word 'Divine' to it.  Also one of ancient Egypt's more important trading partners, "Punt" was sometimes called "God's Land".  Punt had a wide diversity of animals, plants and seemed to be a marvellous El Dorado.  For that reason, and with the appellation ''Divine Land' many Egyptologists believed Punt was an entirely mythical place and it was never expected any readers of the Egyptian inscriptions would take the place literally.
However, one 11th Dynasty Official recorded a note, discovered by archaeologists, that said, "I went to Punt and Byblos eleven times".  Queen Hatshepsut actually travelled to Punt.  'The Punt Land' was the main objective for her expedition.  It seems, furthermore, form the description of her entourage's journey that one group travvelled to Punt by sea and another group went there by land and that there was a sort of race to see who could get there first.  Hatshepsut joined her fleet and sailed on part of her journey to Puntland by sea then transhipped to travel on land to reach Punt's capital city, meet the country's king and, apparently, visit the city's fabulous temple.  Later, in her own ("mortuary") temple, Hatshepsut used her voyage to "Punt" to occupy a large chunk of her life-story.  Her temple, and its design and setting against a cliff, as we describe elsewhere (*), echoes the words of Song of Solomon 2:14 which is a song about a black (African) woman and Solomon.  The people in "The Punt Land" that Hatshepsut visited were in excellent health and fine looking.  Amenhotep III said that when he looked to "The Sunrise", i.e., Eastward, he looked to the countries of Punt.  Amenhotep's comment suggests more than one country comprised "Punt".  The locus of these statements is Israel, Tyre and Gebal-Byblos. 
[(*) Refer "quasi-simultaneous equation proof that Queen Queen Hatshepsut is Queen Sheba on  http://don-stewart-research.blogspot.co.nz;
Israel, in particular, and the independent cities of Tyre, Byblos and Sidon plis Ammon and Moab (in modern Jordan) comprised the Punt Land.  That region, again in particular Israel, formed a Land-Bridge between Africa and Eurasia.  (Tyre organised the transportation and Trans-Shipment of goods through 'Punt' betweem the maritime Mediterranean city-states of Lebanon and the Red Sea-Indian Ocean run).  Israel-Punt was also a bridge between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea that in turn flowed into the great Indian Ocean.
Thirdly, and most importantly, Israel was a soteriological Bridge where God and Man were reconciled.  Israel's festivals of animal sacrifice, culminating with the Sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth at Passover 30 AD, bridged or reconciled Man (believing men and women) back with God through the life in the blood of the Son of God Himself.   Ever since Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, an animal was used as a formal symbolical and typological fore-runner (down payment) to the actual or only sacrifice (Jesus) that would or could assuage God's anger at Adam's transgression in circa 4000 BC.  It was Jesus of Nazareth Who would go to that Roman cross in a manner that would reflect Adam's expression of fear and embarrassment.  That occurred when Adam realised he would have to face God after disobediently taking of the Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge without God's tutorship.  Earlier, the unclothed Adam had often met God in the weeks or months previously in Eden's garden.  In that time, God personally taught Adam.  So The Word (of God) became flesh and blood.  So the Son of God ("The Last Adam) incarnated to succeed where The First Adma had failed (I Corinthians 15:21-22, 45).  The Son became the (sacrificial) "Lamb of God", outside Jerusalem's walls more or less at the central point (bridge-pontoon) of the Afro-Eurasian Land Mass.  Jerusalem, The Holy City, Kadesh, the El Kuds of the Muslims was this capital City of Punt Land.  The Bible makes it clear that Jerusalem's Mount Zion is "God's Holy Hill".  But it is the Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth that ultimately makes it that.  Who could think the hell-holes of Somalia were, could ever have been or are ever likely to be 'God's land?
However, the college of archaeologists, like a pontifical college of cardinals, has decided that "Punt" somehow must be in "East Africa", perhaps even as far south as Tanzania.  Respected British Historian, Paul Johnson, summarising a collection of Archaeologists' views in a second edition of a book he wrote about ancient Egypt's history, suggested Somaliland as being Punt.  These views essentially derive from the fact that Hatshepsut's fleet going to Punt sailed from the Red Sea.  One can only travel north or south from el Qeseir, ancient Egypt's port on the Red Sea on the same latitude as Thebes, Hatshepsut's and Amenhotep's capital city.  The very name "El Qeseir" echoes Mount Seir which is North-east of the Sinai, in southern Jordan.  That is close to Israel of course.  Instead, Johnson's conclusion, by academic convention reflecting the experts, decided Punt was south of the Red Sea  and either Somalia or further south.
Once again, the world's academics have done their best to invent a fiction in order to undermine the Bible.  Recent British governments have tried to restore order to North Somalia, their former colonial responsibility.  And they have done that quite well it seems.  But a clearly political decision was taken to deliberately use the archaeologists' Punt to rename that part of Somalia. I will explain how absurd this is.
It is interesting that Governments and the UN have listened to a vague (and wrong) theory of archaeologists to name a modern new nation-state.  This parallels the decision to rename Abyssinia as Ehtiopia.  As noted elsewhere, the writer has pointed out that Ethiopians are not allowed to refer to their country as  "Abyssinia".  That is because it reflects the name Sheba for the famous queen that Ethiopians and Black Africans claim as their own Great Queen.  She was the fabulous Hatshepsut or 'Egypt and Ethiopia' (The South).  So there are these carefully cratfted name-changes in order to place the Queen of Sheba in Yemen.  Sabea, also mentioned in the Bible, is a name sometimes given to that part of the south Arabian Peninsuila.
We now get to the absolutely ridiculous, so accurately reflecting the idiocy and folly of the world in this '21st century".  The Bible's "Queen of Sheba" who is actually the Queen of Ophir-Africa who sheba'd (administered) Egypt and Ethiopia and visited Israel, and who was Hatshepsut of Egypt and Ethiopia (Cush) had now become Yemen's Queen.  Thus, 'A Queen of Yemen' visited North Somalia, i.e., "Puntland", and just hopped across the narrow Red Sea-Indian Ocean straits at Aden (Gulf of Aden).  The back story here is that a short trip across a narrow bit of water was all that ancient mariners could achieve.  But how did that supposed event get to be in the Bible?  The answer they give is that the 'story' of fabulous Marib-Yemen's queen visiting Punt was incorporated in a number of stories floating around the ancient Middle East.  Some of these stories eventually became part of the Bible's anthology of oral tales that excited ancient generations.  In this sense, the Bible becomes a sort of early attempt at Shakespeare whereby a collection of the best plays of a certain era were archived for future audiences.  Then, to support the contention in archaeology, they had to look for evidence of civilization in Yemen.  But they had difficulty finding any.  The Marib Culture did develop in Assyrian times (circa 700 BC) but it was hardly a startling competitor to Egypt or Babylon or elsewhere.    Archaeologists' findings in Yemen showed that little significant development had taken place in Yemen until the 8th Century BC.  But that was two centuries after Solomon.  They found evidence of a temple but its design was fairly standard for the ancient world.  Solomon's Temple is reconstructed at Deir el Bahari near Thebes.  It is Hatshepsut's temple.  That temple is nothing like the design of other Egyptian temples nor of the one in Marib-Yemen.  In 2004, the British Museum,  British Airways and the Foreign Office with archaeologists hosted an exhibition branded as 'Discovering the fabulous land of Sheba'.
The false chronology of ancient Egypt leads to many starnge histories being written.  The Dark Ages of Greece is one such monstrosity.  There was no such 'Age'.  The Mycenaean Culture of Homer and Odysseus preceded the Classical period of Aristarchus of Samos et al by little more than a century instead of the assumed five or six centuries at present.  The interlude between the Mycenaean (1300 BC by convention) and the Classical era 600-500 BC was punctuated by the Ionian (Jewish) and Dorian (Tyrian) influx brought about by those nations being defeated by Assyria (722 BC) and Chaldea (600 BC).  But the nonsense just described coincerning Yemen, Somalia and the 'Queen of Sheba' takes the cake.  The chaos in ancioent Greek History is bad enough but at least some sense can still be made from the chaos.  Nothing can be elucidated from the nonsense surrounding ancient Somalia's supposed interaction or intercourse with Aden-Yemen.  Once again, Somalia, Yermen, Eritrea and Aden are in a terribly messy war and chaos.  Israel is an ordered place thriving economically.  Current events surely ought tell the reader which account to believe. 
The naming of North Somalia s "Puntland", and all the implications of that action as summarised above, is a direct snub in God's face.  The world's public has no idea of the nonsense that is fobbed off on it with myths like this.  The perpetrators of this nonsense will pay a heavy price for their stupidity.   God has indicated in Ezekiel 38:23 that He is going to magnify Himself in the defeat and destruction of the hordes that will soon dare to invade Israel.  That disaster will make the Six Dday War defeat for Israel's enemies in 1967 look like a skirmish in an old folks home in comparison. 
22/9/15, Egypt creates 'Buffer Zone' with Gaza.  Israel is not alone in having a lot of trouble with the lawlessness in Gaza.  Egypt is also trying to destroy a network of tunnels being used to smuggle goods and weapons.  Israel is constantly having to destroy missiles and other dangerous weapons in Gaza to protect her citizens.  "Israel uses weapons to protect its citizens but Gaza uses citizens to protect its missiles", said Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu.  Palestinians have a legitimate gripe against the League of Nations and United Nations.  Those bodies failed to ensure governance of Jordan for non-Jewish Palestrinians as was agreed in the Mandate documents allowing Britain and France to administer the region in the wake of the Ottomans' collapse after WWI.  But that is no reason for Gazan Palestinians to harass Egypt and Israel.
The politics of the Gaza Strip and its Palestinians provides a terminus of another monstrous misinterpretation of ancient history.  The impact of such perversions is gigantic.  The example we will consider here, is about as bad as the abuse of history and archaeology concerning Yemen, Somalia, Aden, Punt and "The Queen of Sheba" discussed in the previous essay. [21/9/15, "Somali Fundamentalist Muslim rebels re-establishing in Puntland".]  In this situation, discussing Gaza and the Palestinians there and who these people are or what their history is, will be the subject of the following essay to illustrate the absurdity in the thinking of this 21st Century Age.   If the reader cares to work through this rather complicated account, he or she will have come a long way to understand why we have such appalling human crises in many parts of the world.  It is almost as though problems from Syria to Global Warming Solutions or from Internet hacking to Ebola are part of some deliberate agenda and/or strategy.
Hopefully the following is clear.  The false chronology of ancient Egypt leads Egyptologists to mis-read inscriptions relating to an invader of ancient Egypt supposedly in the 13th Century BC.  These inmvaders designated "P-L-S-T" of the hieroglyphs (based on a system of mainly consonants, some vowels and determinatives) supposedly written in circa 1200 BC, are mis-read as "Palestine".  In the early 20th Century, some people anxious to 'confirm' the Bible's historicity pressured early professional Egyptologists to make this link not realising that the emerging chronology was full of errors.  Even the etymology at this point was poor.  The Romans introduced the 'N' into "Palestina" but the old term had been Philistia.  Everyone then also overlooked the fact that the Roman name for the region, 'Palestine', had the objective of snubbing the Jews they had driven out of Israel in 66-70 AD and 135 AD.  Anyway, the usual ancient Egyptian name for 'Palestine', Canaan or Israel-Judah, was "Retinu" which is a corruption or variant  of the Hebrew for "Our Land", i.e., Eretzainu".  As noted above, that region was also known to the ancient Egyptians as "Punt" from which we get 'Phoenicia'.
The Egyptologists also conveniently ignored something they had often mentioned when doscussing hieroglyphs; i.e., that an 'L' in Egyptian also had to be read as 'R' especially when reading or writing names for foreign people or places.  Thus the "P-L-S-T" equally could be "P-R-S-T".  If one then assumed the 'T' was the plural as it often was for nouns, then the place concerned was the P-R-S people ('T'-plural like our 's').  Who, therefore, were the 'P-R-S' in circa 1200 BC?  The poor etymology (linguistics, grammar) was one problem  But as we hope to explain, the date was a far more serious problem.  It was wrong by about 650 years.  That is, it was not in 1200 BC but in 550 BC.  Two major problems - Etymology and Chronology.
Rather perplexing, the 'P-L-S-T or P-R-S-T or P-R-S-t if we want to show the 'T' is a plural, also seemed to be one among many nations called "The Sea Peoples".  Many "Sea Peoples", furthermore, had very Greek-sounding names in the hieroglyphs but since the time period was 1200 BC this was recognised as being rather odd.  Furthermore, these P-L-S-t seemed at one stage to be allies of one group of Sea Peoples but at another time enemies to them.  Such things are happening all the time in the modern Middle East which, to be fair, makes reading of the dynamics of anient rivalries and alliances hideously complex if not impossible.  Such rivalries are often quite irrational which makes matter only worse for someone trying to reconstruct ancient history.  But if the basic Etymology and Chronology are wrong irrational rivalries in the past become irrelevant.  The problem, thus, was that the "P-L-S", which really meant nothing to the archaeologists seemed to be involbed with Greeks in tcirca 1200 BC.  Nevertheless, the "P-L-S" became the P-L-S-T and hence Philistines, therefore non-Jewish Palestinians because the Philistines and Jews were different nations or ethnicities.  Hence modern non-Jewish Palestinians are crowded into the narrow Gaza Strip the approximate boundary of the former (Five) Philistine cities.  [Non-Jewish 'Palestinians were supposed to get Jordan as noted above.  We repeat, their current plight is unfair but NOT Israel's fault.  So they should not be targeting Jews for revenge.  Though it has been frustrating for 'Palestinians since 1948, 1967 and King Hussein of Jordan's 1970 Black September massacre of Palestinians resident in Jordan].
Dr Immanuel Velkikovsky, who, echoing the great Enigma Decipher of WWII,  broke the code on all these problems, was first to recognise these 'P-R-S-T' were not Peleset but Pereset or Peres, dropping the 'T' for a plural ('S') and thus "Persians".  No one, of course, had heard of Persians invading Egypt in 1200 BC.  And indeed that is quite correct.  That never happened.  Everyone, quite correctly, accepted a Persian invasion of Egypt in 550 BC, and everyone, again quite correctly, still does.  There was no Persian invasion of Egypt in 1200 BC.  In fact one of the earliest connections between Egypt and Persia and Media (North Persia-Iran) was the marriage of a Median princess, Nefertiti, to Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten).  Amenhotep III apparently arrange that alliance.   Of course the timing or chronology for that marriage was plunged into circa 1300 BC instead of 800 BC, compounding the problem of integrating the histories of the 'Persia-Iran and Egypt' of ancient times.
Despite Velikovsky's breaktrhough, the 'P-L-S" remained 'Philistines' and attacking both Israel and mighty Egypt supposedly in 1200 BC!  Of course it was highly improbable that little Philistia with its 'five cities' had taken on the might of Egypt and the lesser thougn not inconsiderable man- and fire-power of ancient Israel's Twelve Tribes.  The latter, sometimes had major inter-tribal contentions which resulted in thousands (of fellow Jews) being killed on occasions  The Bible has the Philistines occasionally attacking Israelites from 1450-1000 BC so Philistines battling Israelites in 1200 BC is documented accurate history.  Of course, with the help of these Mediterranean and other North African groups  (other 'Sea Peoples') joining in the fracas, fighting and plunder, supposedly in 1200 BC, rather more obviously one could postulate ancient Philistines ('P-L-S-T' etc., or 'Palestinians') taking on both Israel and Egypt.
Another very important and highly obvious question now arises.  But it is always conveniently ignored.  It is this.  "In the event many Mediterranean people allied with the Philistines (albeit with a lot of side-switching going on, including re-grouping with the enemy);  also giving these 'Sea Peoples' a base or foothold in the Gaza Strip, much like the Crusaders in later times:  Why no cooperation between Israel and Egypt?"  The Bible records plenty of Egypto-Israelite intercourse and alliances.  It records some fighting between Israel and Egypt though not that often or hardly at all compared with Israel's tension with other surrounding nations. Furthermore, the Bible never mentions Philistines attacking ancient Egypt.  Though, on that point, one might not necesssarily expect such information about the Philistines' relations with Egypt be supplied to us in the Bible anyway.
Those are the problems raised by placing this complicated or complex geo-politics in 1200 BC and making 'Philistines' or 'Palestinians' a key, if not The Key Player in the whole imbroglio.  But if, as Velikovsky convincingly demonstrated in his Sea Peoples in his Ages in Chaos series, we place the imbroglio in circa 550 BC, then we have an excellent explanation.  The well written records of the Greeks of their Classical Era guide us as we are really witnessing the rivalries between Athens, Sparta, Persia, Egypt and probably Libya-Carthage in 550 BC in the wake of the Medes amd Persians' defeat of mighty Nebuchadnezzar's Chaldeo-Babylonian Empire.  
We now have to interrupt to explain another important factor.  Our research (Blessing 10N, The Extent of Nebuchadnezzar’s Empire) now suggests Nebuchadnezzar's sceptre stretched even as far as the British Isles in the West.   we are not yet sure how far Eastwrd it stretched.  We see this 'Philistine-Sea Peoples' drama recorded in ancient Egypt's annals as being the result of the collapse of Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon.  That, furthermore, makes sense of the Bible's claims about the extent of Nebuchadnezzar's reach.  So extensive and powerful was nebuchadnezzar's reach that this Chaldeo-Babylonian king even tried to enforce a new ecumenical religion on the world.  The Chaldean-Babylonian culture, originally located in the Upper Persian Gulf region and south Iraq 1400 years previously had been mother to all other cultures.  Perhaps that was why Nebuchadnezzar's revival of the Babel civilization, albeit from its new base in East Turkey from circa 900-600 BC, was so attractive to a significant proportion of the world's cultures and ethnicities - even some people in the palace of the last Judean kings.
Persia's defeat of the revived-from-2000 BC Chaldeo-Babylonian Empire (600-550 BC); and capture of its capital city with the famous 'Hanging Gardens'; there opened up a massive geo-political vacuum in 550 BC.  Historians do not see the history in this way, as our thesis has to keep reminding observers.  Thus historians are blind and unable to interpret today's events.  [I too would have to say that only in composing these two essays (21/9/15, "Somalia-Puntland" and 22/9/15, "Egypt-Gaza", on 25-6/9/15) did I explicitly understand that Chaldea's Fall led to 200 years of titanic struggle between Tyre-Carthage, Greece and Persia before the Romans finally came in with their superior strength but inferior culture.]
Bearing these things in mind, we see there was something highly significant about the Babylonian Hegemony of 600-550 BC so that many geopolitical tsunamis resulted following its defeat in 550 BC.  In Daniel 1:4b, 2:28, 2:37-9, 3:4-6,  4:20-22, 30, we see many signs that the Chaldeo-Babylonian Empire of 600-550 BC had enormous power and authority.  We tend to overlook the literal truth in those verses.  But when one realises that today's Kurds are the descendants of the builders of that empire, one understands the crazy geopolitics that have beset the Kurds since the fall of the Ottoman Empire and for the last 800 years since Saladin and Suleyman.  The fears that a revival of a Kurdish (a.k.a., Chaldeans, Hittites and Kasdim in Hebrew) hegemony in the Middle East are based in that historical reality in those verses in The Book of Daniel (Refer, New Perception of the Middle East Crises,  http://192.185.112.214  Index of /~don/book/Kurdish_Crisis).
The collapse of the massive Babylonian Empire of 600-550 BC, which we now suspect extended its sphere of influence, at least westward, as far as the Celtic-Chaldean settlements in Britain at the hands of the Persians and Medes, now set the scene for the ructions that would beset the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt, Greece and Persia from 550 BC not 1200 BC.
Now, we shall look at some archaeological detail with the particular intention of showing that today's "(non-Jewish) Palestinians" have no relationship to ancioent Philistia on the bogus assumption the "Peleset" of the ancient Egyptians in 1200 BC were "Palestinians" i.e., "Philistines".  We show how the the history of Persian rule in Egypt from circa 550-330 BC, until Alexander of Macedonia ("The Great"); written into the 'history' of 12th Century BC Egypt; became an integral part of so called modern Palestinians' history.  It is cruel to deny Persia, Egypt, Israel, and indeed 'Pakestinians'", facts of their history and give them to the modern Palestinians.  It does no service to modern Palestinians.  It leaves them believing a lie.  Lies destroy people - in this case Palestinians, especially in Gaza.  That is happening now!  Furthermore, for many 'Palestinians' and others in the Middle East such as modern Syrians, their roots can be traced back to European Crusaders (especially in Syria), Yugoslavs (South Slavs such as Bosnians), Armenians, Kurds, Mongols and Tartars probably; and Arabs.   
Dr Velikovsky's breakthrough bmade sense because everyone knew the Persians conquered Egypt in circa 5550 BC.  As we realised from our Memphis study, the paucity of Greek pottery etc of the period 550-330 BC there revealed that Persia then proceeded to lock Greeks out of Egyptian commerce and other intercourse until Alexander of Macedonia.  In Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses - And the Winged Disk of Judah which is subtitled "A New Framework for Ancient Middle Eastern History ", we show how Dr Velikovsky's assertions were proven.  But based on this false "P-L-S-T" = Palestinians or Philistines in circa 1200 BC, modern historians have built up a completely fictional history of the modern Palestinians as descendants of the ancient tribes.  Thye then make modern non-Jewish Palestinians the legitimate heirs to the land Israel once occupied until the Romans permanently kicked them out (135 AD).  Moreover, Jews are now seen as not having any legitimate claim to live in Israel, certainly not as an independent Jewish state governed by Jews.  (There is a parallel problem concerning the Kurds but that is not an issue here).     
In Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses, I refer to inscriptions at Beth She'an.  On the Tel there is a fort at the top.  Egyptian kings Sety I (1300 BC) and Ramesses III (1150 BC) used the fort as a northern outpost to observe invaders from the north.  But Ramesses III was well konwn to have fought the Peleset and other "Sea Peoples".  Why, therefore, indeed how given his defensive situation, did Ramesses III use this inland fort in Central Israel to defend against the Philistines and Sea Peoples assuming they indeed were 'Peleset', Philistines, Palestinians or Sea Peoples? (including Greeks or Greek-like peope arriving from communities in the Mediterranean).  The Bible never referred to Philistines in a maritime context.  One would have thought that to be the case if Philistines (as "Peleset") actually were the "Sea Peoples" or an integral or significant  element therin!  Furthermore, how could Ramesses III even manage to occupy it so far from, and so isolated, from his bases in Egypt where he was clearly in a defensive mode when actually fighting these invaders?  Records in Egypt showed that Ramesses III, supposedly in circa 1150 BC, tended to be very much on the defensive and really struggling to hold his lines.  When on the attack he was actually counter-attacking the invading Sea Peoples from bases further up the Nile or south of the Mediterranean.  It did not make any sense that in the midst of this crisis he could support and hold a faraway outpost in north Israel formerly held by a predecessor pharaoh (Sety I in circa 670 BC) and have the logistics to maintain it.  It certainly did not seem it could be possible for him to control Beth She'an in 1150 BC.  The location was well inland, of no use in monitoring maritime Mediterranean events, and of little use in monitoring traffic through Megiddo's pass.  It would, however, be useful in monitoring invaders from the East, such as Babylon and Persia.  Also, it obverooks the important Jordan River Valley system that connects a trade route from Lebanon and its valuabe-for-Egypt cedar trees, down to the dead Sea then across to Eilat-Aqaba and the Red Sea to connect with Egypt's ports (e.g., El Qeseir) further down the Red Sea.   All this could have nothing to do with Philistines operating from the cities of the Gaza Strip.  But it would have much to do with both Sety and Ramesses III when they briefly held sway over that part of Israel.  In Sety's case when his ally Assyria allowed him to occupy parts of North Israel after Assyria's conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC.  For Ramesses, he could control Beth She'an in the hiatus immediately following Persia's capture of Babylon City.  Persia had ro secure other parts of Babylon's Empire it had inherited before taking on Egypt which actually tuned out to be a push-over anyway!   This makes sense in the 6th Century BC but no sense in 1200 BC!  
So if Ramesses III was a 20th Dynasty Pharaoh of Egypt in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of Nebuchadnezzar's Chaldeo-Babylonian empire then ruled by Nabonidus, Belshazzar (circa 550 BC) and Chief Adviser Daniel-Belteshazzar the Judean, Ramesses III he easily would have been able to occupy north Israel.  The collapse Chaldeo-Babylonian Government might even have necessitated Egypt coming in to maintain or restore law and order.  Those are the circumstances when Ramesses III could have seized the old fort 19th Dynasty's Pharaoh Sety I held when his ally (Assyria) controlled the Middle East (circa 700-620 BC).  To prepare for a fight for control of Israel, or parts thereof, with the Persians in 550 BC, from an outpost in north-east Central Israel, overlooking the inland Jordan Valley, would make a lot of sense.  Then, he could have secured it with little trouble.  Most Israelites had (long) been driven out and those Israelite peasant farmers remaining were in no position to argue with Egypt (Jeremiah 44:1).  Ramesses III would not be worried either by any 'Philistines' or 'Palestinians' cutting him off from Egypt because it was evident the Chaldeans (Babylonians) had also destroyed their cities in 600 BC (Merneptah Stele).  Ramesses III had taken control of Israel up to Beth She'an in 550 BC and the fertile Jezreel Plains running across North Israel from Haifa on the Mediterranean coast to the Jordan River (the Mou Qedi of the ancient Egyptians, the "River that flowed upside down or backeards).  This, to repeat to make clear, just after the Chaldeans had withdrawn following Persia's defeat of Babylon.   
Furthermore, the Bible makes it clear that although other nations were able to attack Israel in circa 1150 BC Egypt wasn't or didn't,  Even Midianites from the Red Sea coast opposite Egypt did especially with their Amalekite allies.  The Egyptians themselves never bothered Israel - or could be bothered!  That's the usual conclusion from the Egyptologists.  Egypt's silence on Israel for the period 1500-930 BC is paralleled by Israel's silence on Egypt for that era.  The only reference to a contemporary Egyptian in the Bible for the period from 1500-930 BC was to an Amalekite who had an Egyptian slave.  Before becoming King, David the 'Son of Jesse Ben Jehudah' found this slave luing on a roadside close to death.  The Egyptian was left behind by retreating Amalekites David had defeated in his role as Protector of Israel, a role King Saul had abandoned.       Only from 950 BC do we see Egypt beginning to be involved with Israel either in war or peace, in the Biblical account.  That is because Egypt herself was overtaken by Amalekites (of Hyksos), Midianites, Ethiopians and others after Israel's departure in circa1485 BC.  Egypt's army perished in the Red Sea.  Only when King Saul's climatic victory over Amalek and David's series of campatgns to mop up most of the rest of Amalek, was Egypt once again free to prosper.  Egypt's relationship with Israel;  in effect Egypt's and Ethiopia's liberator from the Amalek-Hyksos axis;  from 930-586 BC was a sort of love-hate tango for obvious reasons (Red Sea fiasco versus Israel's defeat of Amalek).
It gets worse for our modern academics and their official chronology.  King Saul's (1000 BC) fort is below the Egyptian forts of Sety I (actually circa 670 BC not circa 1300 BC officially) and Ramesses III (actually Circa 550 BC not circa 1150 BC).  Both Egyptian forts are on the same spot at the top of the Tel).  As Sellar and Yeatman comically noted in 1066 And All That, regarding Julius Caesar's conquest of Britain in 55 BC, "they counted backwards in those days".  Everyone laughs at this jest knowing that dates before Christ do indeed have to work backwards.  That's because of the nature of the modern calendar we use.  It begins the modern counting of years from an artificial date 'Year' "Zero BC" used for the "Birth of Christ".  The true 'Jesus' was born in 7-6 BC and there is no year zero with dates then moving from 1 BC (-1) to a AD (+1) when jesus was already about 6 or 7 years old.  But the modern archaeologists digging up Beth She'an in fact try to trick us by hoping no one will observe that a large 1000 BC fort on a small, probably man-made, Tel could possibly lie underneath forts established in 1150 or 1300 BC!
A fort built in 1000 AD would lie underneath one built in 1150 or 1300 AD.  But a fort built in 1000 BC must lie above a fort of 1150 or 1300 BC!  
On the basis of the official chronology, the Egyptians supposedly were fortifying Tel Beth She'an 150 to 300 years before King Saul of Israel (circa 1000 BC).      The only way it could be possible for Egyptian kings Sety I (supposedly or officially 1300 BC) and Ramesses III (supposedly or officially 1150 BC) to occupy a fort on a Tel in Israel above King Saul's fort of 1000 BC was if in actual or real historical fact was if they were in possession after King Saul's lifetime (circa 1050-1000.   [Unless of course one places King Saul as king of Israel in, let's say, circa 1350 BC.  But that is even more stupid].
Hopefully the reader now can see how we can conclude that Ramesses III at Beth She'an was either fighting or building forward defensive observatories to ward off Persians in 550 BC (not Philistines in 1150 BC).  Contemporaneously Ramesses III was fighting Greeks (Athenian Coalition or Spartan Coalition depending on the politics at the time) when Athens and Sparta were also great rivalss with each other (economically, religiously and philosophically).  Greeks had also settled northern Egypt compoundingly deteriorating relationships due to Greek migration and colonisation of North Africa.  That led to Ramesses trying to play Athenians off against Spartans.  A bit later, came the Persians who likewise dabbled in these alliances with competing Greeks and Egyptians.  Probably, the 'Libyan Phoenicians' from their base in Puntisia-Carthage (Tunisia) also tried to get into the game or supply weapons and other munitions to make money from these squabbles and geo-political hegemonical rivalries between 'East' and 'West'.  (I refer to the East and West of the Western Hemisphere.  Refer Blessing 8G Tyre’s Hemisphere: Azores to Torres Strait).
That is how a completely unrealistic history of Modern Non-Jewish Palestinians has been built on another history that does not belong to them.  Palestinians  did not steal it.  Modern Egyptologists, archeaologists and historians fabricated it then sold it to Palestinians.  Why they did that is not entirely clear.  But their determination to discredit the Bible meant re-organising the history of Egypt so that the history (and His Story) of Israel could be fintionalised or factionalised as Dan Browne might say (Preface to The Da Vince Code).  Having done that they could discredit Modern Israel's right to exist.  Sadly, too many modern Israeli academics, particularly archaeologists are also prepared to buy into this stuff.   The latter have to answer to their European, American and perhaps indirectly Arabian pay-masters.  Those pipers calling the tune are more concerned with other (e.g., Byzantine) eras of ancient Israel than the Jewish era.
The Egyptologists' "P-L-S-T" were not Philistines nor Palestinians.  They were Persians and the era was 550 BC not 1150 BC.  Now everyone io the world is reaping the dividends of falsified history and His Story.  The price will be, if we are correctly reading the Biblical Prophecies, such political, economic and social disaster that the world will become desperate for a Saviour from all this nonsense.  But the first one, counting from now, will be Antichrist-666 so that the world can learm the last lesson it needs to, having listened to Satan's tempting suggestions in the first place (Garden of Eden).  That Last Lesson is to explain the ultimate consequences of Adam, that means all of us, taking of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (a.k.a., Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge).  In the above two essays, I have tried to illustrate the folly, and how extremely ridiculous it gets, of mankind trying to build his own Tree of Knowledge.  A lot of it simply ends up as rubbish.  So, in will come, or has come, The Antichrist personally sired by Satan through a woman, which may have occurred on 1/1/01.  We think we know who this child is.  Born, as far as we can tell, on or around 11/9/01.    After a brief, Seven-Year career for the Antichrist, the True Christ comes to rescue everyone who changes their mind (= repents) and trusts in Jesus of Nazareth and accepts the sacrifice of His Death, Burial and Resurrection as the means by which they become Righteous, without Sin, and eligible for entry into God's Eternal Kingdom and Messianic Kingdom between thern and now.
As an evangelist would say, "Why not do that now?  Then one can escape all that in The Rapture when Jesus of Nazareth comes to remove His Last Days' Church, wherever those individuals are residing, sleeping or working.  But hurry up with that decision for the Rapture can take place at anytime now.  Antichrist's career has not yet started though no doubt he is undergoing training - again assuming we have accurately and correctly calculated our Biblical prophecies.  Escape the Wrath To Come. 
24/9/15, Pope helps Peace Process in Columbia.  In September 2015, the Pope toured South America (Columbia), Cuba and the USA.  In Columbia, he was reported to have helped broker real peace talks between the Government and the leaders of the long-running FARG rebellion.  He had facilitated the Americans and the Cubans talking seriously to each other with the line that the world has so many serious problems that it must put aside relatively petty disputes.  [Actually, that is very sensible advice, but why is it taking so long for someone to say that with all the intellectual nous around?] 
We wonder if all this papal activity is part-preparation for a role as False Prophet to the coming Antichrist.  He is known as the Argentine Pope or Silver Pope.  The Antichrist we are observing has a first name that resonates with Gold and a surname borrowed from his step-father which means "king of kings" for whom 'gold' is reserved.  For Baby King Jesus, the gift of gold symbolised His Real Kingship!   Anyway, on the basis that the word 'Pope' is derived from a title once held by Amalekite kings of Egypt, "Agag" (= Gog);  though the official line is that it comes from papa (father, daddy, abba);  we may have an answer for those who think "gog" in Ezekiel 38:2, 3, 14, 16, 19; 39:1, 11 & 15 and Revelation 20:8 is a leader's title.   Our problem with that connection is that the Hebrew indicates regions or particular countries coming under the name Gog such as Georgia, Kazakhstan and Chechnya which really are the remote parts of the "four corners of the Earth" of Revelation 20:8.  That verse combined with Ezekiel 38:15 most directly suggests 'Gog' is regional raher than titular though Ezekiel 38:3 certainly could indicate a title of some sort.  A third option is to see that both arguments could somehow be correct;  just as 'Pope' means 'Father-Papa and Agag-Gog;   and that we are to await a time when a region of the earth and some ruler will seem to be of the same name.  Pope Gog Mario Bar-Gog-lio where 'Bar' is 'son' in Aramaic, may somehow be connected to this invasion.  Russia is often known as The Third Rome.  That's because its rulers there for the best part of a millennium, the Romanovs;  i.e., the Tsars ('Sar' as in Esarhaddon, or Tiglath Pulesar) and Czars (Caesar);  were refugees from Muslim-conquered Byzantium which had become the Eastern Capital of the Roman Empire when it decided to 'split' into East and West in the early 4th Century AD.  So has Mr Putin perhaps come back into the Holy Father's embrace?  Has Mr Putin re-joined the Russian Eastern Orthodox Faith and has it re-joined Rome like Cuban vice-President Castro?  [20/9/15, "Once a believer always a believer"].  And, is that embrace pulling in the leader of Iran too?  Or is Iran on her own separate agenda.  Well everyone might think they are on their own agendas but God said He would intervene and draw all the forces in the Middle East (Ezekiel 38:4), plus the Caucasas regions (we assume), Iran and Africa into a maelstrom and horde coming up to Israel bent on plunder only to be destroyed by God's miraculous intervention.  Elsewhere (refer Blessings Sections 8 & 9) we discuss the meaning of Put-Punt, the other major player in the invasion, and apparently neutralised or impotent observers Tarshish (NATO) watching on.
24/9/15, Volkswagon fitted software to its cars to cheat emissions tests". This news broke headlines today with a discovery that Volkswagon's technicians had rigged noxious gas output machinery in their cars so that when tested in laboratories or vehicle testing facilities they revealed the car met the Regulatory requirements for gas emissions.  Apparently, while the car was on the road the gases such as NO2 being emitted were significantly above the legal maximum. But the vehicles' on-board computers were programmed to recognise when the vehicle was in a testing station, or stationary, in order to fabricate the data to ddeceive tecchnicians running emissions tests on vehicle gas output.  Tests are conducted on car motors running but with the car stationary.  The illegal software used the fact that the motor was running but the car not moving to detect whether the car was being tested.  The scandal has shattered VW Inc and forced the resignation of its very much 'hands-on' Chief Executive.  But the problem as we also see it is whether the limits on gas output are scientific or realistic - in the first place.  For example, in order to meet the target the vehicle had to use much more diesel and become inefficient energy-wise.  Climate-Change problems being put down to CO2 levels in the air are leading to restrictive policies on oil, coal or gas consumption which is so necessary for things like steel production or transportation fuels.  But these products are far more efficient than any other energy source.  There is such a heavy over-statement of the supposed dangers of CO2 intensity in the atmosphere that the higher costs of less efficient energy sources for transportation are in effect being imposed on the economy.  That can have major negative hidden and mostly unforeseen repurcussions on the world economy.  One could imagine VW technicians may have felt the regulatory standards are ridiculously high hence the admittedly dishonest ruse to get around them and make the vehicle appear to meet health and safety standards.  This is another problem of bogus science; then VW technicians deciding to do another wrong to make things right (a Tree of Good and Evil Knowledge dilemma).  Since Science has become untheological in a parallel way that Theology has becone unscientific, we are now running into many other problems like this.  Volkswagons' troubles are the tip of an iceberg showing that Man's Love Affair with his Tree of Knowledge is turning into a sour relationship.  The warning God gave to Adam is now coming down on us like a ton of bricks. 
28/9/15, "Only 4% of Government Expenditure on 'difficult families' goes into that problem. Where does the other 96% go?  A question asked on a political discussion on nation-wide radio.  The discussion exposed the fact that Government money ends up being spent on administration, data colletion and reporting rather than actually getting things done and problems solved.  It revealed one way how and why in The Last Days there is a dramatic change to world governance.  There will be a demise of Westphalian-style state-governments preceding a World Government phase (which we may well have been in since 1948 or even ear;ier).  This is prophesied in the Bible which then explains how World Government moves to its 'Ten Kingdom' phase during which the Antichrist emerges.  II Thessalonians 2:7 points out that Lawlesness is one sign, or the main sign of that process beginning.  Problem families procreate and generate people who tend to enter crime and lawlessness and the drug world.  The discussion, commenting on Government reports, noted that 87% of people in Gaol in New Zealand had some connection with its Children and Young Families Service.  Not a good statistic for any national government.   Arthur Koestler in his The Sleepwalkers pointed out that a Greman princedom in the 17th Century AD decided to embark on a state-sponsored programme of education for its problematic families.  One such kid went on to help NASA and  the European Space Agency to land robots or 'machines' on moons and planets (refer 17/9/15, "Scientists looking for signs of life on Europa").   That kid was Johannes Kepler.  Things seem to have slipped backwards disastrously in 21st Century New Zealand.
29/9/15, "All sorts of things going on in the world defying Economics", according to an economic commentator (former journalist) on a nation-wide radio programme.   He said that he went to spend three weeks in in Beijing, Chicago and London to make inquiries to answer issues he could not understand.  This is another indicator that the Babel Project is now taking over the world's economy, or has taken it over.  Conventional economics is being subverted.  Projects are not constrained byu cost.  certyain projects go ahead at any price.  The Babel Project is part of the original lie that Satan tempted Man with in the Garden of Eden concerning the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. "You shall be as gods (literally elohim) knowing good and evil (tov ve raa)", said Satan.  Adam and Eve then saw the Tree of Knowledge as being "good for food", "pleasant to the eyes", and "a tree to be desired to make one wise".  Unlike Satan, before he fell, Man did not have the knowledge Satan had, in fact very inferior knowledge albeit enough to clearly understand obedience!  Ultimately, Mankind's love affair with knowledge has become The Internet (or the integration of all computers and servers) and all the applications and communication capabilities that it provides.  For Adam; after he discovered the terrible consequence of his wrong choice, his disobedience; the task was to know how to guide his descendants, explain what he did and offer solutions to the dilemma man was now in or about to descend into.  God explained His Plan in Genesis 3:15, but Adam also had to explain exactly what was it in the Garden of Eden he ate from, touched, consumed or browsed at.  The Vatican and other counterfeits of Christianity try to explain that it was an apple tree.  To be fair, it was something complex so Adam had to resort to some basic words to describe that 'Tree'.  We pass this information in Section 1 of the Blessings series but suffice to say here it was a touch-tronic computer presumablty plugged into God's Knowledge and Wisdom hence of course the logic behind Satan's temptation.  Satan wanted to tempt Adam into falling like him, hence the ruse in the Garden of Eden.  But mankind, with Adam's knowledge was now faced with a dilemma.  Whether to grasp the fruits of knowledge or stay away from them.  Man's condition in the wild unprotected world at large, rather than safely inseide the Garden of Eden with all he needed including the Tree of Life, meant that it made sense to find ways to ameliorate conditions.  It is the same for us today.  But that strategy gets away from us and the knowledge has to be used to "make a name for ourselves" by building a tower at Babel, in Shinar, South Iraq or ancient Babylon before the dispersion of Babylon's 'Chaldeans' in circa 1000 BC or the exodus that led to the Chaldeans becoming stranded in Eastern Turkey where we now know them as Kurds.   Once again, the world community is coordinated in a global village to re-create the conditions to recover the task started in Genesis 11:1-4.  With the financial system's levers soon to be relocated back to Iraq-Babylon-Shinar (Zechariah 5:6-11), we have plenty here to suggest we are nearly back at Full Circle @.

29/9/15, ".... If it is,  God help us because it impacts the creation of News", re Google, Facebook and Apple taking control of news media and the revenue "streams" from advertising that TV, Radio and paper-news sources rely on to finance the reporting of 'News'.  The comment came during an interview on a regular weekly radio discussion about journalism; on this occasion, about its future. The commentator wanted to force Search Engines owned by Google, Facebook etc., to pay for information they collect because at present they do not pay and they don't pay taxes either.  In their financial model the public provides the news on the companies' platforms ("real estate") which the companies' search engines pick up, rate and evaluate.  [For example, the Google Search Engine appears to have picked up the writer's blog (http://don-stewart-research.blogspot.com/) and given it a high priority because of the uniqueness, relevance and quality of the information.  There may be an element of popularity of the subject also affecting the rating.  The Journalists are obviously unhappy at losing their former monopoly.  There could be sour grapes on the part of the commentator, a former journalist and newspaper editor].  Depending on their algorithms, which are far more complex than the basic design just mentioned, an item will either get a high or low ranking.  Newspapers, Radio and TV have to pay journalists to gather news but the search engines don't face those costs.  [Deconstructing that statement, the companies do have to pay money to get the search engines working efficiemtly. Obviously, the search engines disemploy journalists.  Machines taking over man's employment is an important issue - but an inevitable consequence of Man taking (eating) of the Tree of Knowledge].  The commentator speculated that Governments will not want to see so much power in the hands of Apple et al, or search engines, in news and information gathering.  These companies are also getting a controlling share of world advertising and revenue thereof.  The discussion followed hard on the heels of reports of more major layoffs of journalists from newspapers in New Zealand.
20/9/15, "Apple, Facebook and Google Platforms ("Real Estate") threaten Journalism".  The computer search engines which sweep up vast amunts of data are beginning to provide a 'platform' to rival or even make obsolete all the conventional news media.  Journalists are being laid off all around the world as a consequence.  This is a paradigm shift in the way of life we have been used to since Swift began his leaflets and pamphlets (late 17th Century AD).  But this development has been progressing especially since 2001 at the start of what we are labelling the "Satanic Millennium" (1/1/2001 - 31/12/2999, though it will get nowhere near 2999, we expect).  Everyone is supposed to experience much better quality of life with all the new technologies around.  However, contemporaneously with 'successes', new techmologies destroy many paths of life that mankind had come to take for granted.  There are many undesirable side-effects of this process and journalists are worried there will soon be no independent analysis and coverage of newsworthy events.  Of course, that assumes no one else can do the job.  Our main gripe is that journalists, almost to a man, woman and dog, have given no space to those of us who challenge evolutionism.  So it is not surprising journalists are gtting their come-uppance at last!
29/9/15,  NASA announces Water very likely on Mars and Life too.  The release of their latest findings coincided with the release in New Zealand of a film starring Mr Matt Damon about a man stranded on Mars.  A film reviewer commenting on radio said that Hollywood seems to be combining releases of information about Mars with the release of this film or other relevant films.  He saw, correctly in our view, a connection between the two.  Of course Dr Velikovsky's analysis of the recent (circa 2450-1500 BC) arrival of Mars, Venus and Mercury into the inner solar system along with subsequent related ructions in recent millennia (circa 2450-700 BC) explains how water, even if now highly saturated with salt, and even microbial life in that transferred-water, could now be on Mars having been uplifted ("giant water spouts" according to Velikovsky) in catastrophes affecting or involving Earth - and its atmosphere,  global warmers take note!.  In Blessing (2Eii) NASA and Velikovsky, there is some further background on this. 
29/9/15, "Under certain circumstances liquid water has been found on Mars".  A direct quotation from the press conference broadcast on New Zealand radio later in the day.  The water on Mars is thought to be underground so someone asked how the water appeared to be running down from the top of the rim of a crater.  Another response to that was to explain the water is being extracted out of the atmosphere.  We suspect in these pages that NASA knows what Mars' recent history os per Immanuel Velikvsky's analysis.  All this stuff about Mars and Moon (ours or Jupiter's Europa) exploration is the apex of the Babel Project that Satan has enticed Man to embark on.  Hpwever, we can never leave the Earth, unless God organises it (e.g., Elijah, The Rapture), because the physics of space and the human body simply do not allow it.  Thus only "machines" and robots (17/9/15, "Scientists looking for signs of life on Europa) can explore outer space for us.  This is all but admitted if one examines statements closely.  Recently there was a Hollywood film in which the opening scene in the future is of a young schoolgirl being disciplined at school for believing and expressing her belief that Man had landed on the Moon (1969-72).  One scene shows an official saying the the Government had authorised that change to the school text books.  It was no longer correct to say Man had been to the Moon!  One can see how much the text books are being manipulated now from such movies.  As noted, we see that the latest announcements about Mars Lander experiments from NASA at end-September 2015 were accompanied by the official release from Hollywood of a Matt Damon (n.b., not demon) film about Mars.  Apparently Matt gets stranded on the Red Planet.  However Matt Damon, in the film, is not as badly stranded as modern cosmologists are in their reality concerning their speculations about the solar syatem.  They struggle to wriggle out of their 1960's condemnation of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky's work on matters relating to the interplanetary intercourse in the Sun's inner solar systen circa 2450-700 BC.  In our work, we have exposed the Egyptologists' parallel problems.  We don't necessarily agree with everything Dr Velikovsky posited in his writings on Cosmology and Egyptology and we have refined some calculations he made.  But the Academy;s extreme reaction to him is now clearly and painfully biting the Academy in its bumb.  Thus Egyptologists, Cosmologists and Higgs-Boson Particle-to-Man Evolutionists are each in a very leaky boat as their theories get challenged by God's wsidom revealed in His Scriptures.  God is indeed in the heavens laughing at the plans of some very mousy men.
29/9/15, Russia, Iran, Syria and Iraq coordinating resources to gather intelligence on Syria.  President Obama rebuked Russia at the current session of the United Nations where most Heads of State are in New York to address the UN General Assembly.  Russia appears to be moving in to fill a vacuum in Syria that seems to have emerged out of the West's inaction to stop the crisis, not to mention China, India, the UN , etc., also failing to do anything for five years now.    The 'West' here is NATO-Tarshish, from a Biblical perspective.  "The West" is over-stretched on other problems.  Bashir Assad, and his English-born Syrian wife are supposedly Western-trained; both lived in London; so how come he oversees barrel bombing of his own people?  Is Assad simply some sort of puppet or prisoner being manipulated by someone else?  Do the Americans or someone know that hence their insistence "Assad" must go".  Are they really diredting this statement at someone else who is pulling Mr Assad's strings?  These are some conundrums of this massacre.  Anyway, officially, the West is completely or totally opposed to Assad.  Instead, now, it is President Putin (the puppeteer?) of Russia who believes the Assad Government is legitimate, needs support and is holding the line against Terrorism.  But who really is pulling the strings in this crisis.?  How much of it is the result of bureaucratic, political and militray blundering?  We all seem to stand by helpless to get any sensible developments toward stopping this wanton destruction.  Syria is looking a mess.  
To answer the question, "Who is really pulling the strings here?", we are watching this because current developments appear to be another clear step towards the formation of the alliance of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38:1 to 39:16 where a mischievous plan or device to invade Israel is plotted by nations such as Russia, Iran and Africa.  At this time, Orthodox Israelis are demanding permission to visit AND Pray in the arena of the Moslem mosque and courtyards which probably sit on the site of Israel's ancient temple in the "Old City" of Jerusalem.  Since 1967, there had been an arrangement with Jordan;  ironically whose rulers were kicked out of Muslim Holy Cities Mecca and Medina in the 1920's;  whereby the Muslims can maintain some control over the Al Aqsa Mosque area.  This is under arrangement between the Jordanian and Israeli Governments.  The Hashemites of Jordan, having lost control of Islam two holiest sites, Mecca and Medina, must now be satisfied with overseeing its Third Most Holiest Site- Jeruslam's Al Aqsa Mosqye!   Antway, the Status Quo since 1967 now seems under threat.  Since 'Prayer' is a matter of "Outward Show" in the religions of Islam, Judaism and Christendomity, it is obvious when someone prays.  However, genuine Christians (followers of The Way, refer Acts 9:2, 27; 18:25, 26; 19:9, 23; 22:4, 24:14, 22) can pray anywhere, anytime in any manner and of course can easily pray in the mosque compound, or anywhere at all, without being noticed - the advantage of "Christ in You, the Hope of Glory" (Colossians 1:27) and of permamnent infilling of the Holy Spirit of God, mysteries totally misunderstood by non-disciples of Christ.  Anyway, officially, on the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, on the approximate site of the former Jewish Temples of Solomon and of Nehemiah-Ezra (extended by Herod), non-Muslims may enter the area between 7:30 and 11 am apparently but they may not pray there.  Jews normally pray at the Walkiling Wall instead and feel humiliated they cannot go into the former te,ple arena to pray.  However, it is interesting that  fracas blew up (again), or is beggining to be elevated to a much more significant issue, exactly when Putin was arranging this coordination of Ezekiel 38-9 players to coordinate over Syria:  Israel tomorrow? 
29/9/15, NASA wants to land men on Mars in 2030.  This emerged from announcements that they may have found water there.  There is now an urgent need, they say, to get people to Mars so that they can check out for sure that water is on the planet.  
30/9/15, "There is a better way", said the New Zealand Prime Minister after a UN meeting to hear reports from America and Iraq on the battle against ISIS.  He was referring to a better "Muslim Way" wherein we have to get Muslim teachers to instruct muslims about a better way to believe their faith and not to listen to extreme Muslim beliefs like ISIS which offers a very harsh way of life which is not sustainable in the Long Run.  However, we can read these words as dbeing directed to fundamentalist Christians who look forward to Christ's Kingdom on Earth, "Your Kingdom come" we pray at the start of "The Lord's Prayer".  Of course we are peaceful not war mongerers like the secularists, humanists, evolutionists, the religions etc.  We understand the implications of Adam taking of the Tree of Knowledge.  We are directing people to God's "Good, Perfect and Acceptable Will".  The signs are around us indicating how man's love affair with his tree of knowledge will ultimately consume him.   Islam is a thoroughly bad way.  Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life.
30/9/15, Arab Muslims turning backs on Syrian refugees.  In a comment on this point, the speaker, commentator on a radion station, said the Arabian and the Emirate states had taken no Syrian refugees.  [We understand from another source that they have taken in refugees but that the nation's statistical services don't actually count them as such.  That is a problem for the UK too which has effectively taken in 8 million refugees, political refugees and economic migrrants-cum-refugee since 2001].  But the commentator (Mr David Slack) also noted the Saudi Government has offered to build mosques in Europe for the Syrians who have fled there!  They won't take in Syrians, expect Europe to take them then will build mosques in Europe while at the same time preventing Christians building churches in Arabia!  Then, we were told, just outside Mecca, at Mina, there isa tent city which is well stocked with facilities that can house 3 milion people.  But it is used for just two weeks a year around the annual Haj Festival.  The commentator said this was ridiculous when so many refugfees are squeezed into Lebanon. Turkey and Jordan, not to mention Europe having to take some.  Both commentators agreed Islam needs to take a good hard look at itself, esoecially with regard to the Sunni-Shia divide.
1/10/15, "Russia and USA on collision course over Syria".  That was the view of a British commentator speaking from the USA on national radio in New Zealand.  He based the comment on this morning's Russian air strikes over "opponents to the Assad regime" though the announcement appears to be framed to suggest that meant ISIS/ISIL.  But reports suggest these air strikes were against Syrian rebels opposing Assad's regime.  That has angered the Americans because Russia, Iran and others seem to be putting the emphasis on sustaining the Assad regime as the only legitimate Government which the West believes has lost all legitimacy but nevertheless, it belatedly emerged, must still be involved in transition from carnage to normality.  Someone let it be known to this commentator that Mr Obama thinks Mr Putin is a "Thug".  So that would reveal very frosty relations indeed at least between the two leaders - Putin and Obama.
This would seem to be yet another step toward the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38:1-39:16.  In other comments we have made, the Hebrew of that text suggests "Gog" is the overlord (Nasi) of Russia (Rosh), Moscow (Meshech) and either Tiblisi or Tubalsk (Tubal).  If Gog is 'overlord' then is Putin in effect, and in some way directly or indirectly, answerable to someone else - i.e., Gog?  [Could that be Pope Gog Mario Bar-Gog-lio?].  We have wondered if that could be the Caucasas nations of Kazakhstan, Georgia (capital Tiblisi) and Chechnya (Chechen Republic of Ichkeria).  We partly base this on the problem in etymology whereby a:  'c', 'k', 'q', 'ch', 'kh', 'h';  is interchangeable with 'g'.  There are many variations and combinations within this range.  Thus recht in German is 'right' in English.   We have 'queen' and 'king' in English but Hebrew uses melech and malcha.  Then we note that after the Tsars were overthrown, between 1917 and 1963, Lenin got into power with backing from the Cossacks of Kazakhstan.  After Lenin, Stalin the Georgian took power then Kruschev took over and he was Ukrainian.  In more recent times, former Soviet Foreign Minister Scheverdnaze another Georgian (Gogian) attempted to become Russia's President then later ended up in Georgia's Government.  So for much of the Soviet Union's era 1917- circa 1990, outsiders ran the show.  But we are beginning to see a very clear line-up of the nations mentioned in Ezekiel that will invade Israel after "The Land" has been "restored".  In the prophecy of Ezekiel 38:8 we read the "inhabitants" have been gathered "from many nations" and are "dwelling securely" in a land "restored from the sword".  This passage follows hard on the heels of Ezekiel 37:1-11 about the First Regathering of Israel from all nations of the World.  In Isaiah 11:11, we read of the Second (or Last) regathering as Israel exits the Tribulation having repented on its last Three Days and enters the Messianic Millennnial Kingdom of the Messiah - Yeshua of Nazareth.  Ezekiel 37: 12-28 then jumps forward to the Messianic Kingdom.  That, Israel's leaders shockingly rejected when John the Barptist announced the coming of that Kingdom.  Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth actually made the offer to introduce it after he paid the sacrifice for sin that God had deemed necessary for the soteriological salvation of mankind.  Instead, after His Resurrection, Yeshua had to return to Heaven and leave the fledgling Church (Synagogue, "I will build My ..", Matthew 16:18) of Christ, initially under the Apostles' direction, to manage the Mystery Kingdom epitomised by the Sower of the Seed Parables.  It seems from an analysis of the Ages, Eras or Dispensations referred to in the Bible, that about 2000 years, two millennia or "Two Days" on Peter's dictum that "a day with the Lord is a thousand years" (II Peter 3:8), was given for the Mystery Kingdom, the Christendom that took it over, to perform.  So the return of Jews back to Israel over the last 120 years (1897-2015);  seemingly from current events about to be invaded ny a massive coalition of nations in Ezekiel 38:1-6;  is a strong signal the Church of Christ Age is nearing its end which will be brought about by The Rapture. 
1/10/15, "Dinosaurs adapted for the Arctic".   A radio station heard that a big new deposit of dinosaur fossils and, apparently flesh and bone, had been found in Alaska by FLorida University Biology Scientists,  Apparently, a "Flooding incident" suddenly trapped and killed these animals.  The novel collection of dinosaurs in Alaska suppoesedly is the last frontier for dinosaur research.  New genus and new species of 'duck-billed' dinosaur were found.  No one predicted such a rich fauna of herbivore dinosaurs would or could be found in the Arctic.  The scientist interviewed said the situation "Begs more questions that answers.  It seems "snow" fell upon them during an epoch when the Arctic was warm, before it became an ice cap.  The scientists questioned how they survived "up there" (in the Arctic and in the cold).  So they surmised these "dinosaurs" were more like birds than mammals and able to generate their own heat.  [Of course this raises the obvious point that the reason for the snow coming upon them supports the view that the water of Noah's Flood dried up as falling snow on the poles and mountain tops.  In the Arctic, the snow initially melted when it landed on the warm volcano-fuelled Arctic Ocean and only settled on the land mass, i.e., Siberia, Canada, Greenland and Alaska.  But as the Arctic Ocean cooled after the volcanic activity they admitted occurred, had subsided, the snow on the land-mass back-filled onto the Ocean around the pole itself and this is what is mistaken for a "Second Ice Age" when in reality it is all part of the one event generated by the cause of Noah's Flood which the Bible says was God.  However, if God also used an asteroid or asteroids to generate the Flood there is no problem here for the harmony between the Bible and the apparent scientific data because it is obvious large bodies from outer space have hit the earth (refer Blessing 2A and Jeremiah 10:2, 44:18, Acts 14:12, 19:35).  Whether those bodies crashed into the earh at Saran's Fallm after it while the Earth was in darkness and chaos, or since Man's fall, are open questions.]  The discussion concluded that "whatever went on" there was an all-year round presence of dinosaurs in the Arctic region including Alaska.  The Florida University scientists said there was evidence the animals were caught in a "flood and subsequent snow falls".  to the interviewer's question, "Will we ever know what caused their exrinction"?, the scientist said "an asteroid or extra-ordinary volcanic activity at the time".  He continued, "Probably a combination of events caused extinction of dinosaurs though birds and mammals survived.
1/10/15, "I am not sure it is the Armageddon Jane thinks it will be", said Stephen Jacobi re the TPPA.  That is the acronym for a Trade Agreement being negotiated for 40% of the World's economy around the Pacific Ocean rim.  That day, New Zealand's former Labour Government Prime Minister who nornally keeps out of New Zealand politics now she is working for the United Nations, urged New Zealand to stay in the Talks rather than walk away form it.  Ms Clark's Government embarked the country on this trade programme but her replacement in the labour Party, Mr Little, disagrees with the process and seems unlikely to support ratification of whatever treaty emerges.  Some commentators suggested that might set off a fracas within the Labour Opposition in Parliament.  But we are concerned here with another flippant reference to "Armageddon".  These people readily use the term yet give no adherence or attention to what "Armageddon" really is or the terrible reasons for it.  As we are noting in various documents, the possible arrival of the Antichrist-666 suggests we may in fact not be too far away from the Real Event and that current world crises are clear indicators of the terrible vortex we are slipping into.  We are content for this flippancy.  God may not be however, which is perhaps why he utters the statement of Ezekiel 38:23.  In Ezekiel 39:6, God will send "fire" on Magog (probably the lands allied with Gog) and on "those who inhabit the coastlands in safety.  That could be lands nearby or it could refer to faraway places.  In a faraway place called New Zealand, a Mr Jacobi, today, made light of "Armageddon".
2/10/15, "He needs an opportunity to redeem himself".  A leading Maori female politician said this in respect to a singer whose songs have violent and anti-women lyrics.  He beat up his wife or girl-friend.  He had since been in trouble with authorities for violence as well as being twice evicted from a rahab facility.  The politiciam was supporting a decision to let the United States singer come to New Zealand to perform at a concert.  Several other countries have banned him drom their borders.  A big debate was firing over radio talkback stations about this issue with people lining up behind one side or other.  When this leading female Maori politician joined a chorus of calls to allow Mr Chris Browne (also brown coloured) to enter NZ to do his concert and in the hope that he would also come and address youth groups in the Maori community, there was widespread shock.  People asked why someone else would not be better addressing young people and men about behaving well with women.  In response, she argued for his chance to "redeem himself".
But our concern is this mythology Maori in NZ in particular, but not only Maori,  have turned Christ's 'redeeming act' for all of us into an excuse for letting people who have committed terrible acts to carry on with a normal life even when there is no evidence they are really trying to 'reform'.  Like the non-Maori in NZ, the Maori have abandomed the Word of God and invented their own sets of beliefs.  Mr Cliff Whiting's demonstration at Te Papa of the reason for the Maori-British partnership has been abandoned by Maoridom and Britain.  That is in regard to the Maori account of the Day the Sun and Moon stood still (Joshua 10).  The great discovery Moori elders and genuine Christians meeting with them made concerning Joshua 10:12-14, in discussions between circa 1800 and 1840, is now buried and replaced by modern Pakeha and Maori Myth.  We discuss those details elsewhere.  But in essence, when the missionaries learned from the Maori that the event happened in the morning in the Maori Account but in the evenng in the Jewish Account, they realised the oral Maori Account and the written Jewish account had to have been eye-witness observations from opposite ends of the globe.  Those observatins are now acknowledged by proper science and in places like NASA.  Understanding the implications of those observations led to many Maori believing the Word of God in the Bible and the statement in John 1:14 that "The Word (Jesus of Nazareth) became flesh and dwelled among us".  But modern maoridom and pakehadom have jettisoned these rea;lities and now installed a belief system leading to such things as justifying crude vermin into New Zealand or allowing a murderer and child molester to conduct a business from prison, obtain a passport, get home leave (Philip John Smith), maintain an alias, and escpae NZ and get to Brazil.  Fortunately he was subsequenbtly captured.  In this new and 'modern' Kiwi religion, all these evil people who continue to practise evil are supposed to be able to have a "an opportunity to redeem themselves", be role models and give lectures or talks on 'Good Living'.  Meanwhile, really good living Christians are ostracized, ridiculed, ignored and themselves considered vermin by most of the population.  Even in churches, we are unpopular because we believe the Bible. 
2/10/15, "It's not a refugee crisis but a migration crisis".  This was from an Hungarian Government spokesman.  Hungary has registered people coming  from 100 different countries migrating across its southern borders.  "They are not all Syrians, Afghans or Iraqis", he said but coming from "as far away as Southe East Asia".  He said, "every developed nation around the world had to help  manage this crisis, not just dentral and south-eastern European nations".  It does seem as though many free-rider migrants are using the various crises around the world to justify attempting to leave their current residences and go where the grass is greemer into countries they want to, illegally.  We agree with the Hungarian spokesman.  The problem, invreasingly, is one of lawlessness.  Too many people around the world seek to jump normal immigration procedures and enter another country to stay there illegally.  Also, they take jobs from that country's citizens, illegally.  The corallary of this is that unscrupulous employers then hire illegal workers, not pay them enough, or even not at all, denying both the indigenous legal worker enployment and the illegal migrant of pay.  The unemployed indigenous-domestic worker probably gets a state benefit but evryone really ends up losing under these circumstances, i.e., tax payers too!  The writer experienced this nonsense in the labour market back in his indigenous homeland, England, between 2004-9.  
If these people (presumably from the "non-developed world") wish to migrate to the "developed world", they should be required to do so legally.  The same for refugees, whether legally defined as such or de facto.  'Refugees' may be legally insoide refugee camps but they must be required to obey laws and enter a country legally and obey the rules, laws and regulations of that country's Caesar!
2/10/15, "In theory there is no reason why the human life span should not be indefinite".  "I think one day it is going to happen .... perhaps in a hundred years from now", SAID Brian Hanly, Butterfly Sciences Inc, who is researching gene therapy with a view to extending human longevity.  ..  Mytochondria cells decay which causes us to age and die.  By turnong on a genetic sugnal the genes can be regenerated.  Progenitor cells stem cells are in bone marrow but over time they also cut back.  Stem cells in bone marrow are the fastest reproducing cells in the body.  People oevr 100 years old have only "onbe clone left".  Epigenetics.  Evolution wnats some species to re-cycle faster which is why there is death he thinks.  Where there are strong environmental pressures there are shorter life cycles.  Where there are fewer predators there is less need for a faster life cycle.  Maximum life span of humans has not changed very much.  Even in primitive societies people live into their nineties.  Pretty much of the gain in average life spands has been because of sanitation, sometimes vaccination and to some extent better nutrition. Looking at a wide span of gene therapies to keep people younger or to live longer but with better quality of life.  Began one answer with the words "Genesis of that (Aids) study ...".    People stop working because they just don;t have it in them any more so combatting aging is going to be a priority.  Gene therapy has to be based on omne's own genes otherwise one imports another's resistences to hormones.
2/10/15, "Plans to mine the Moon for precious metals and minerals by end-2017", is the ambition of a collection of Hi-Tech companies involving a company called Moon Express.  The announcement came over New Zealand radio today.  It comes on the heels of our challenge that if Man did go to the Moon then he stopped going there because there is no fabulous store of metals and precious stones that can be mined.  we pointed out that as kids, in the 1950's, we were told moon-mining would obviate having to rip up the earth's precious environment.  Apparently, there is a Prize being offered by Google for the first commercial space company on the moon.  The problem is that under the theory of the evolution of the moon which is tied up with the general Theory of Evolution, there should be a lot of minerals etc on the Moon.  But because there is not, judging by Apollo missions, they really need to revise theories of evolution.  So we regard this announcement as yet another bogus piece of rhetoric like so many other pieces on space promotion so crucial to the Babel Project.  Rocket Lab of New Zealand is in the consortium. 
2/10/15, "We are trying to enable important things to happen in space", said the manager of New Zalands Rocket Lab Inc.  His company is helping with the luunar lander for Moon Express (above). 
2/10/15,  "This is the time for space exploration", right now  because private enterprise is now able to afford space exploration.  iyt used to be the preserve only of governments.  But the new economics and technologies of this century including manufacture of parts using 3-D printing makes space exploration much more realistic. 
2/10/15, "Disbanding Saddam Husseins army brought about the rise of ISIS/ISIL".  This is an extremely dangerous thing that is growing all the time, according to a commentator on a radio panel.  He  welcomed Russia coming in to Syria to stop ISIS keep building up.  "People are swelling the ranks of ISIS", he claimed.  We now wonder if ISIS will be the horde if its ranks are indeed "swelling up" as this commentator claims.  From a Biblical perspective, one wonders if Russian involvement;  Gog, who- or whatever that is, pulling its strings perhaps;  is a deliberate step to cause further chaos which will "swell" ISIS's ranks.  It is getting extremely complicated and out of everyone's control just as the Bible suggests it will be once the mischievous plan of Gog et al is grabbed by God with His Hooks!
