There may have been no rioting in the Highlands, but no one has been watching the arson and looting of Britain’s cities more closely than the Queen. With fewer than six months to her Diamond Jubilee, when celebrations are planned for the length and breadth of the kingdom, the disorder has alarmed aides planning the extravaganza. Central to their concern is not just the damage to the country’s image overseas, but also how quickly the feelgood factor engendered by April’s Royal Wedding has been lost. From her summer home in Balmoral, the Queen has kept in touch with developments and...

In October of 2007, Obama declared at a Apostolic Church in Greenville, South Carolina that he would create a millennial kingdom of God on earth. The church is Redemption World Outreach Center and is reported to be a part of the Pentecostal Holiness movement, according to some websites. Some Pentecostals believe that the kingdom will be a real physical kingdom, a theocracy ruled by men, and this appears to be such a sect. The doctrine that the millennial kingdom will be a man-made physical kingdom on earth created by political or military means is called Dominion Theology. The doctrine of...

For the criminal hanging beside Christ the "good news" was good indeed, that he would be resurrected Christ 'came into his kingdom'. (Luke 23:42) Until that resurrection of both the "righteous and righteous" occurred under Christ's kingly rule that evildoer would have to wait in what Christ compared to "sleep" in the grave, Hades or as many translations say, "hell". (Acts 24:15)(John 11:11-14) As we hear of the horrible loss of life in Japan and similar events we can be comforted by that Good News spoken to a criminal so long ago, that they would be resurrected under Christ's Kingdom...

Anyone following the threads on the religious forum could hardly not notice the endless arguments over what constitutes personal salvation, who is the most Christian and the general low level of discourse. Instead Christ's apostle, Paul counceled, "Let your utterance always be gracious, seasoned with salt.." (Col. 4:6) In short, tasty, not dripping with acid. As Jesus gave instructions on how to pray in Mattew 6:9-13 the establishment of the kingdom took priority over anyone's personal savation and it was this that was called "Good News" when Jesus said the 'good news' (or gospel) would be preached in all the...

If the search for omens and signs of the future were any indication of true faith, ours would be the most Christian generation of all history. But Jesus said, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign” (Mt. 16:4). The popular doctrine of a “future millennial reign” over the present world affords endless opportunities to take daily events and label them as signs of millennial fulfillment. Satiated with sensational international crisis, the public eagerly clutches at every announcement in hopes that this it is!—that this latest event will herald a new day and tend the tension, the frustration, the...

(In light of the acceleration of the Leftist agenda here in America.) The phrase, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand,” is the signoff slogan and repetitive theme of the Ignorant Fishermen Blog. Those Americans who follow the game of politics generally miss - especially in the light of today’s global setting - that all things are working to this end. If the leaders of the American political spectrum - Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, President Obama, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Scott Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Dick Cheney, Chris Matthews,...

Thursday, March 11, 2010 The Day of Christ's/Messiah's coming for His body the Church just before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord are at hand! All signs point to that today. We have never seen in the 6000 year history of man at present the great global flux and conscious understanding that doom awaits at the very door step. Just after the Rapture of the church transpires (which the scoffers and haters of the Grace of God totally reject), there will be a massive void of light and truth here on earth, i.e., there will not be one...

What are the "keys of the kingdom" referred to in Matthew 16:19? What authority did Jesus Christ give to Peter and the New Testament Church of God? The Bible uses a key as a symbol of authority. In Isaiah 22:22, we see Eliakim the priest receiving "the key of the house of David…on his shoulder." Revelation 3:7 uses similar symbolism. A trusted servant to the king wore the key to the king's house on a hook on his shoulder. Therefore, he had the authority to open or close the king's house. Assuming Jesus was addressing Peter in Matthew 16:19, some...

Over the past 33 years I have heard members of various groups of professing Christian people cite Matthew 16:13-19 and apply it either to their specific denomination or to the Body of Christ in general. There are more, probably, but the ones I have direct knowledge of are as follows: 1. Roman Catholics; to them the church mentioned in the passage is the Catholic, or the Roman Catholic Church, depending on who I might have been speaking to. My own dad was a Catholic until 1975, and he almost always used the expression “Roman Catholic” (until 1975 always defending it)....

What Is the Gospel that Jesus Christ Taught? If we are to understand the point of Jesus' teachings, message and mission, we need to be sure we understand the gospel—the good news—that He taught. by Scott Ashley What is the message Jesus Christ brought and taught? It seems like a simple enough question, but most people don't give it much thought. They know Jesus preached a "gospel"— which comes from the Old English godspel, meaning "good news" or "good message"—but what is that message? This is where things can get a little murky. Many think that the gospel of Christ...

Acting as super-predators, humans are forcing changes to body size and reproductive abilities in some species 300 percent faster than would occur naturally, a new study finds. Hunting and fishing by individual sportsmen as well as large-scale commercial fishing are also outpacing other human influences, such as pollution, in effects on the animal kingdom.

Have you ever noticed that herds of grazing animals all face the same way?Images from Google Earth have confirmed that cattle tend to align their bodies in a north-south direction. Wild deer also display this behaviour - a phenomenon that has apparently gone unnoticed by herdsmen and hunters for thousands of years.

Interesting coincidence noteworthy of it's own thread. On August 16, 2008, the Kingdom of Hawaii Nation tried to take over the grounds of the Iolani Palace. Quentin Kawananakoa is the current claimant to head of Hawaiian kingdom. See Saturday's thread, Attempted takeover closes Iolani Palace (Hawaii) Freeper, BigLook lives in Hawaii and says this is not an unusual occurance. The Islanders are pretty familiar with the common occurance of this group and a few others that try to take the palace. But, what is interesting and the point of the post is Quentin Kawananakoa, claimant to the throne of the...

ISRAEL’S PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE By Reverend Dr. ELDER CUMMING (At Glasgow Conference, June, 1894) Let us return to Romans 9:3-5: "For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsman according to the flesh," &c. this is one of the most eloquent, and it is, without doubt, the most solemn passage in the writings of St. Paul. For what he declares them that passage is, that he has been brought into such sympathy and fellowship with Christ to that, if it were possible, which he well knows it is not, it is in his...
