EASTER! Two.

‘What is Truth?

Many people today no longer bother with the truth, they live or exist in a world of lies and selfish want?

So we learn that it was the same in the Roman Empire, people were out for themselves and truth had no place or very little?

Jesus offered Pilate salvation, Jesus revealed his purpose for coming, but Pilate failed to comprehend and thus refused!

But he still knew that Jesus was an innocent man and that the religious leaders had Pilate in their pocket, so he rationalised to please them but other wise he was left doubting for the many years to come?

This salvation is still available and is waiting for all who will trust today!

John 3:11, 18:37-38, 1 John 3:19-20, Revelation 3:20.

BREXIT.

Independent Spirit.

Britain is not like the rest of Europe, it is the largest island and had the largest Empire the planet has ever seen in human recorded history. For the last 1000 years it has been a defiant nation marking out its own course and influences near and far.

It was the first country to proclaim the English reformation back in the fourteenth century by John Wycliffe, who had a large influence on many later Christian movements across Europe.

Since 1645 the Protestant protectorate has maintained Christian freedoms, that no other nation apart from the United States of America could claim.

Many people, such as younger people in the U.K. today are upset by this turn of events? But is us older folks who remember from experience or from our parents, who had to go through two world wars in the last century based in Europe and Germany.

REVOLUTION. Part-Two.

The Fear of Changes.

Loosing out is one reason for starting one, others trade, and wanting a change that is dramatic. The New Testament shows us the man Demetrius who wanted rid of this new teaching, which he felt was putting him out of business.

He was accused of starting a riot and if this stituation was to esculate it would open the door to change in the Roman Empire.

Today we have seen revolutions in Egypt and the Ukraine over economic issues, they claim it is better to be with the west or the European Union?

Acts 19:24-41, 1 Timothy 6:9-13.

Palestine. Part-Four.

We now come to examine the Balfour declaration, which promised much to both the Egyptian Arabs (termed the Palestinians) by the British and the Jews who had started to flock into the region from about 1890. The British believed that by promising both sides something it would be an appeasement to peace for them and not peace for anyone else.

This was a common ploy of the British Empire and had been practiced world-wide, giving a never fulfilled hope to many peoples and races of one day having their lands back. At that time the British considered themselves to be the embodiment of the New Roman Empire.

But the return of the Jews to the land of Israel was not accidental, it was God’s will. He had always promised them that one day he would restore them back into the land and this time they would not be removed. Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6.
