The Death of The Queen

This week the front pages  of every  important national newspaper around the world, with the exception  of China  and a few communist nations, bore pictures in honour of our Queen, at her passing.

Only a very few people in the world today can remember a time when the Queen did not reign, and it was President Macron of France who summed up  the feeling: “To you, she was your Queen,” Emmanuel Macron said to the camera in English, as he addressed his own nation.  “To us, she was THE Queen!”

That obviously applies to many nations around the world, even outside the Commonwealth, where guns sounded in tribute to the departed Queen.

Truely, there was something special about her reign, as she held together a nation declining from world  Empire  to almost empty rhetoric, but it was her calming presence and wise counsel which ensured a tragic but peaceful decline in her constitutional monarchy during a period which would have brought  most nations to their knees in chaos and violence.

It is strange though, that at this time of reflection, and much remenicence,  there has been no mention of this amazing fall from world influence, no questioning of the causes of this national loss, in the many pages of the tributes and discussion.

And yet,  there can be few homes in ethnic Britain that do not contain a Bible, and though they may lay unopened and dusty, they hold the answer,  Hosea 3:6-7, “My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children.”

Hosea 7:8-10, Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples;
Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Strangers devour his strength,
and he knows it not;
gray hairs are sprinkled upon him,
and he knows it not.
The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
yet they do not return to the LORD their God,
nor seek him, for all this.’

Hosea 13:6-9, ‘When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me. So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path. Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion like a wild beast would tear them apart.You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me—against your helper.’

Hosea 14:4-9,  ‘His shoots will sprout,and his splendor will be like the olive tree his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me. Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

Home to Roost!

Since my arrival in the UK to visit family, the resignation of Boris Johnson has brought about an illuminating election campaign in the Conservative Party, to replace him as Prime Minister. The first thing noticeable was the predominance of Non Anglo-Saxon representation among the contenders.

Now it has come down to the last two, one, the former  Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, is a Hindu Indian. Meanwhile, the Home Secretary is Priti Patel, and other cabinet members inculde Sajid Javid and Aloc Sharma, while the London Mayor, Sidiq Khan, is a Muslim. Never before have we seen so many foreigners in government!

This reflects an almost unbelievable change during my lifetime, (6 out of the 11 Prime-Ministerial candidates were of foreign origin) for I remember the start of mass immigration in my home town, when almost all the immigrants became at first, bus drivers or bus conductors, though now it is common to find them in large, impressive homes, driving expensive cars as business owners, and employers.

No doubt most had worked hard and payed their taxes but it is concerning to see young men of foreign origin driving impossibly expensive cars, the proprietors of small, apparently not very prosperous businesses, while the police have proved themselves afraid to investigate Asian sex crime and possible drug dealing, for fear of cries of racism.

This may relate to the fact that significant contingent of immigrants flee from nations that do not have the innate respect for government and law which has traditionally been found in the West. Unlike those first immigrants back in the sixties, many in my home town are marked by a refusal to integrate into Western dress, culture and religion, which leaves locals with the suspicion that neither do they honour Western concepts of responsibility to contribute to a lawful, benevolent society, and in the past years there have been riots and buildings set on fire as a result.

While Britain is not alone in seeing such change (Ireland also is experiencing  similar change) this is significant because it was long ago prophesied that this would occur, Deuteronomy 28:43-44, ‘The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower. He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.’

Why is this happening? It is happening because it is just one of the curses the British, or in Bible language, ‘Ephraim’, have earned because of our wrong choices, verse 45, ‘All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.’  Berean Study Bible.

Unfortunately, in fleeing from the automatic results of their religions and culture,  some immigrants bring the results with them, and as we ourselves have forgotten our God, and His laws, we forgot that our prosperity and place in the world was given to us by God, until finally, He is taking it away until we all learn to worship Him and keep His Laws. Australia and Canada are just a few years behind Britain in this process, but it is coming there too, if we do not begin keeping the laws we find in the handbook provided by our Maker – the Bible.

Blatant Indoctrination by Government

Some time ago I became so disgusted with the government sponsored  SBS television channel in Australia, that I wrote in to complain about the constant waving of the rainbow flag in the foreground, during their self-advertisement of the “We are Australia song”, because  the ‘LGBTXYZ’ brigade are only a tiny minority in Australia, and no other symbols were shown. This was plainly a bias promotion, and SBS brags about their unbiased delivery.

Amazingly, though they responded denying bias, the rainbow flag disappeared from their ad. However, LGBTXYZ are determined to push deviant lifestyles internationally, and when I arrived in the UK for a visit, I found the same evil promotion of the rainbow symbol blatantly displayed right under the BBC’s self-promotion of their Television Logo, which appears regularly throughout the day, every day on BBC Television!

This is no accident! The public should realise that this is part of the LGBTXYZ  agenda, to heavily promote the deviant lifestyles now symbolised by the rainbow, which fly in the face  of Biblical teaching and the Christian family of mum dad and the kids, both in the media and every branch of education from kindergarten to university, and beyond. They  have been remarkably successful in their plan to get their deviance accepted as normal, but it is not, no matter how much indoctrination is advertised by government media.

The Bible plainly states otherwise, and warns that those who are influenced by this propaganda to follow such lifestyles, are in danger of the terminal consequences God prescribes for those who flout  any of God’s laws, if they do not repent.

The fact is that we all make free choices and need to know the difference between right and wrong, which is why God gave us the Bible. But whereas most of us accept  that it is wrong to lie, steal, or murder, It is  in the area of sexual sin that there is a drive to confuse  us about what is right and wrong.

If people can be confused about this, then God’s plan that we gain eternal life by repenting of our sin, for we all sin, is overcome, and Satan triumphs. So it is important that all  understand that we will loose eternal life as part of the price if we choose wrong, and we don’t need government mis-education about this, provided by our own funds! God says: “Choose life!”

“Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15.

 

Waken Up!

“Awake, awake”,  God says to His people, who have been sent to sleep, or driven away by the empty platitudes, political correctness and church centred concern of many denominations.

The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants and My Laws are despised because you are ignorant of My words and totally unaware of what really lies ahead, as a result of which there will be “few men left”, worldwide!  Isaiah 24:6-7  ‘The earth is defiled under its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth and they that dwell there are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.’ 

It is time to Awake!  Isaiah 13:11-12, ‘And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.I will make a man more precious than the golden wedge of Ophir.’

Matthew 24:21-22, ‘For then there shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should be no flesh saved: [alive] but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.’

God will give mankind one last warning, by projecting  a message into the minds of all mankind to honour his laws and repent,  such is His love for us!  Revelation 14:6-7. But few will.

 

At the Risk of Offending

“If you knew this beforehand, why didn’t you warn me?”  Those words ring in my mind, so that I cannot remain silent at the risk of losing friends or family.

As I watch the almost unbelievable Russian invasion of Ukraine, a free and democratic country, I know that the same fate may await us in the US, UK and it’s dominions, unless we  remember our God and return to His Commandments.

And yet  I remember that  Jesus Christ Himself was not believed by His brothers and sisters until He was recognised by His miracles. The reason being that Satan has the whole world deceived, and most ‘Christians’ rarely open their Bibles, if ever! Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”

So, they do not keep the 7th day holy, which is the 4th Commandment.  “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…..the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.” Exodus 20:8, 10.

They may even  believe that they have God’s Holy Spirit, but Acts 5:32 says, “And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

They have even accepted the many politically correct changes without questioning  their anti-biblical  character, and so they end up  worshipping Satan, without realising it, but our God is a jealous God, whose mercy  cannot last for ever, until  he is gradually removing the hedge with which  He has protected His people for so many years against the ‘wild animals’ which will trample His vineyard, Isaiah 5:5, ‘And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.’

But, my brothers and sisters, the good news is that  some will  accept this warning and change their lives.  God will then protect them  and bring them through  the most dangerous period  in the history of the world, Matthew 24:21-22,‘ For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved [alive]. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.’

They will be delivered into a glorious Kingdom ruled by Jesus Christ, right here on the Earth, with the opportunity for eternal life!

The alternative is to gamble with your life.

Shame on the West

Shame on the Western “Christian” democratic nations, that we have so far rejected God that we believe we can control our own destiny; that invasion and slavery are things of the past, and could not possibly afflict the US, UK or even Ukraine!

We have no excuse, for just as I, and many other ministers of God warned for years that Britain would leave the EU, we also warned that they and even Australia and New Zealand will be invaded and our people taken in captivity to other lands as slaves because we have forgotten that God gave us our peace and prosperity, but also warned us that we could lose it all because of our sins.

It is all there in the Bible, which is available on your phone – take a look at Isaiah 5, for example, verse 5, 7…..  ‘And now, pease let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away  its hedge and it shall be burned; And break down its wall and it shall be trampled down.      For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel And the men of Judah are his peasant plant….’

I remember being surprised , shocked and disgusted at the barbarity shown  in Bosnia, and equally disgusted yesterday to see a Russian tank deliberately swerve in order to drive right over a small Ukrainian car, showing what we can expect now that God is starting  to remove the hedge with which  He has protected us from  those who have  no respect for the rights and freedom of the individual, or human life.

Why has the West not intervened in Ukraine? Because God took away the pride  of US and Nato power, Leviticus 26:19, ‘I will break the pride of your power’, Why?  Verse 46, Because we broke, ‘the statutes and judgments and laws which the LORD made on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.’

You want an example? Take a look at the blatant rebellion in the Mardi gras, proudly advertised and  broadcast by the ABC, and you have the answer.

SBS partiality

In the SBS code of practice it states that one of it’s obligations is impartiality, but one of it’s most regular promotions is an advertisement promoting the “We are Australians” song.

Time after time in this ad, focus is placed on the one symbol to be seen, a large  rainbow banner, thrust into  the foreground, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual  and transgender lifestyles. The ad also pictures same sex couples, but without mum, dad, and the kids families, or any other symbol to provide the required balance.

This complaint is made under section 6.2 because the ad is partial  to lgbt propaganda, and misrepresents the Australian population as a whole.

Mind the Gap

Once upon a time there was a small island upon which lived many different tribes, Scots, Welsh, Angles, Saxons, Vikings, and Normans. They had their own languages, but learned to use one, and by working together in unity they removed tribal boundaries  and began to build a strong nation.  Under one God and His Laws they enjoyed freedom and peace, until they became prosperous and powerful, eventually creating the largest empire this world has ever seen, which covered a whole quarter of the world’s land surface.

Then, they forgot their God  and began to reject His Laws. Peace departed, the economy dived and the empire was lost. They began  to stress their previous separate languages and culture, eventually claiming separate parliaments and different laws. Soon, some began to vote to separate completely into different nations, and before long they will be back where their ancestors started; tiny, insignificant and poor, no longer even to be able to protect their freedoms from their united ancient enemies!

Once upon a time there was a huge Southern continent, where many small tribes roamed…..

Peace, Prosperity and Happiness

As we look around the world, we find that only the West has any attraction as a destination of the poor from the 3rd world. Ideally, everyone would be happy  and satisfied with their homeland, but many nations are badly governed and the bitter fruits drive many to desperately set off in search of peace, prosperity and happiness.

Interestingly, no-one heads for China, Russia or North Korea, where the people  are more likely  to want to leave, if they could!

The West though, is in decline, with all kinds of problems of its own, and only remains attractive because of its lingering historical heritage.  Why do we find such a sad situation?

The world’s greatest Empires were all ruled by Emperors or Kings, who relied on a strong foundation  of laws to provide stability.  The greatest Empire of all, the world-straddling British Empire, was built on British Common Law, which came out of the Bible – The Ten Commandments. Though imperfect, for a while it did bring stability and some peace, prosperity and happiness to benighted nations, some of which were still in the Stone Age until the British arrived.

Only when those Laws were challenged and increasingly rejected did the Empire decline. Hosea 13:6, ‘But when you had eaten and were satisfied, you became proud and forgot me.’  ‘Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak about me falsely.’ Hosea 7:13  NIV.

God allows us Free Moral Agency – the right to choose to do right or wrong. Britain chose wrong time after time until their Empire was lost.

Real peace, prosperity and happiness can only be experienced when those laws are kept. Atheist Communist nations admit to no God but Communism, and deny the right to worship and the keeping of the Sabbath, as well as the principles which lie behind  the rest of the Commandments . So Freedom and free moral agency – the right to obey God, are hard to find there, along with peace, prosperity and  true happiness.

As a result, peace, prosperity and happiness are less and less to be found in both the West, and the East, though they are still automatically available personally in our own lives, if only we will struggle to obey, with the help of Jesus Christ!

Identity Politics Destroying our Society

The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has urged  Australians  not to surrender to “identity politics”, as it reduces individuals to their  attributes and divides and fragments society. “You are more than your gender, your sexuality, your race, your ethnicity, your religion, your language group, your age”.  ….”of themselves these are not the essence of our humanity. Instead we should view people as individuals – with agency and responsibility”. “Throughout history we’ve seen what happens when people are defined solely by the group  they belong to, or an identity they possess. the Jewish community understands that better than any.”

He went on to say that each of us has “human dignity” as an individual. This is at the heart of the Judeo-Christian tradition underpinning modern Australian society and it was also foundational for freedom in our liberal democracy. “Human dignity”. Everything  flows from that. He went on to stress that those who preach identity politics seek to sow discord in society, not unity, by inflaming angers and hatreds, and spreading lies and disinformation.

Oh how true! And on the same day we saw a blatant example of this  in the new Australian Curriculum for our schools.  This evil new document despises Australia’s Christian heritage and cancels it from the proposed new curriculum, replacing it with Indigenous history, culture and perspectives, and teaches that  British colonisation was no more than an ‘invasion’, our society  no more than a “culturally diverse, multi-faith, secular and pluralistic society with diverse communities.”

It would have our children believe that our society has been more influenced  by the benighted, spear-throwing, oppressive customs and superstitious rituals of the ‘First Nations People’ on colonisation, than  the Western Christian  culture stemming from Israel, Greece and Rome, which so attracts people to its freedoms from nations around the world.

This history has been removed to “declutter” the curriculum, but many believe that it is not clutter, but vital knowledge of  our society’s  origins. The director of the Institute of Public Affairs western civilisation program, Bella d’Albrera, said, “This is giving licence for children  to unlearn  the freedoms of our democracy and brainwash them into becoming political activists.” (Of the left wing of course.)

Take a look at all the ‘identity’ groups and you can see the discord and hatred they have for our freedoms, which have already been diminished by their claims!
