Five Facts to base your life upon: Fact 3: 'A Living Word'

Key points 



God has placed my feet on the path of life. Without Him I would not know the right way to walk. But God has given His Word, the Bible, to reveal His mind and purpose. In this way, I can learn what is good and my mind can begin to be transformed by meditating on the power of God's word.



The Bible: guidebook for my life

Psalm 119:105 

​Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.



The Bible: God's message 

Isaiah 8:20 

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.



Applying the word to my life

Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.



 My mind can be transformed

Romans 12:2 

...be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Bible Miracles: Are they Credible / Believable?

If there is no power higher than Man, miracles don’t happen. However, if a man is part of God’s creation, then miracles are possible because divine power can perform what is extraordinary. God will save those who are humble.

The Man Of Sin and the Place of His Temple!

Description: The temple of the man of sin has its historical roots in the ancient system of Babylon. Babylon captured the city of Jerusalem and took its holy vessels – this plundering guaranteed the collapse of Babylon. However, the pagan system of worship was revived in a pseudo-christian system enthroned in Rome continuing the ancient conflict between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

Preserving a Legacy

Preserving a Legacy Most men and women want to create a legacy, be it a gift or some memorial after they have died. Many quotations remind us how important it is to leave the world a better place than we found it – perhaps by small acts of kindness. God has power over life and death, and He neither dies nor forgets. He is going to set up a kingdom here on earth, where men and women can live for ever with Him. If we want to be remembered by God, then it starts with loving and obeying Him. And the guide to making this legacy is there for us all to follow – the Bible.

Tarshish and her Chiefest Lion

This week, American President, Donald Trump has been visiting the UK. We examine some of the highlights of the visit in the context of Bible Prophecy.

Ezekiel 38

Ezekiel 38 is a prophecy set just before Jesus re-establishes God’s Kingdom on the earth. It is a time in the Bible called “the latter days”. The prophecy tells us that this is the time that the people of Israel will have returned to their land – a sign we have been witnessing being fulfilled after the events of World War 2 and since the declaration of the independence of the state of Israel in 1948.

In the prophecy two sets of nations are described, one set are involved in an all out attack of Israel which is stopped by divine intervention. Whilst this invasion is taking place we read in verse 13 of another set of nations named Shebah, Dedan and the Merchants of Tarshish emerge to verbally question the invading forces.

This prophecy gives us a glimpse of the future. The destiny of the nations seen through the eye of prophecy.

Tarshish

Shebah and Dedan are well documented as being peoples in the area of the Gulf states.

Tarshish is harder to pin down. There are a number of clues in the Bible though that we can put together which helps us to identify who Tarshish is:

1. Its people are descended from Japheth who emigrated across western Europe & is an island or coastal power. Gen 10:4-5
2. It was well known as a maritime power in ancient times. 2 Chron 9:21 Psalm 48:7 Isaiah 2:16, 23:1, 60:9, Ezekiel 27:25
3. In ancient times, especially around 900-600BC it traded in global markets and particularly traded in the East. 2 Chron 9:20-21
4. It is located to the far west of Israel. Jonah 1:3
5. At the time of Ezekiel (600BC) it was a source of silver, iron, tin and lead & traded with the ancient Phoenicians of Tyre. Ezekiel 27:12
6. After the Phoenician city of Tyre was destroyed (around 300BC) its power and influence was to pass over to Tarshish which was to replace Tyre as the worlds trading power. Isaiah 23:6
7. It is a colonial power, having political offspring. Ezekiel 38:13

The only modern power that fits these characteristics is the British power.
