Before us, as we work our way towards the end of the Book of Daniel, we must never forget that most of these last two chapters are prophecy. More than that, it is not prophecy from God through a prophet! It is prophecy from God directly by God! This is futuristic history unfolding before Daniel […]
When in High School, history was very interesting but the exams were always confusing. Instead of the examiner wanting the historical story, as per the text book, they always wanted dates and names. That little issue gave me a dislike for history until I got to Bible School … because there, although dates and names […]
If you know me well you most likely think I talk too much. You might be right! Some people say very little. Either they can’t or won’t express their feelings about certain matters. I opt towards explaining the full picture so that people know what’s happening. I reason like this … “Truth must be told […]

After being in the bush whilst it was raining and traveling along the muddy roads our bakkie got splattered with red mud, clay and dirt. Having a few visits this morning and not having had times to clean the vehicle yet, I decided to use the car. I inserted the key and turned it … […]
Yesterday I tried to show that the Religious Leaders of the Jewish Nation insisted on lies being told. The opposite of lying is telling the truth. In speaking to and about the Religious Leaders, Jesus had this to say: Jn 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s […]
