Saturday News from Tomorrows World

HABIT BREAKING  Blind but now can see.


Jimmy Saville - heartbreaking truth being revealed.
Learning the truth of his behaviour is shocking to us all.  A man that seemingly would be so helpful and kind can turn out to be such a different character to which we were all surprised to hear the tragic behaviour he got up to.  The tragic way that so many people suffered in silence having to wait until after he died to reveal the truth.  It is a shame it was not clear before hand and he would have paid the price for his crimes.  However, due to his clever manipulations of people and organisations he was really a master of deception.

Crank Calls - the disturbance they cause.
This article makes you consider your calls you receive from cold callers in general.  Perhaps we should all make it more clear when we call people who we are and what we are about.  I received a call the other night yet it was automated and therefore was not able to even enter into a dialogue with the caller.  That is even more annoying.

Isaiah - social statement for today

Today, I finished reading the both the book of Kings and noted just how much was destroyed by the following kings after Solomon, no wonder it has been hard to piece together some details in archaeology when the very items that Solomon had had created designed and made for the House of God in Jerusalem was ransacked and taken off by various foreign invading kings, also the kings that were in power in Israel and Judah also sold off a lot of the property belonging to the house of God to help themselves ransom their lives from invading armies - which has been ordained by God to teach them a lesson to bring them back to their senses.  To recognise that God is the God of Israel and all Mankind. We see from their history in the scriptures that while the kings were doing evil from Gods perspective everything went wrong for the people of the land, they suffered tumours, skin diseases, mental health issues, - this sounds very much like todays society.

When I commenced reading Isaiah - I was deeply moved by Isaiah's first vision and how God spoke to the people through Isaiah.

This is the vision of Isaiah the son of Amotz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem during the days of 'Uzihahu, Yotam,, Achaz and Y'chizkiyahu - kings of Judah.

"Hear, Heaven! Listen, earth!

"I raised and brought up children but they rebelled against me.
An ox knows its owner and a donkey its mater's stall, but Israel does not know my people do not reflect.

"Oh, sinful nation, a people weighed down by iniquity, descendants  of evil doers, immoral children!
They have abandoned Adonai (God), spurned the Holy One of Israel, turned their backs on him!

"Where should I strike you next, as you persist in rebelling?
The whole head is sick, the whole heart diseased.
From the sole of the foot to the head there is nothing healthy, only wounds, bruises and festering sores that haven't been dressed or bandaged or softened up with oil.

"Your land is desolate, your cities are burned to the ground; foreigners devour your land in your presence, it's a desolate as if overwhelmed by floods.
 The daughter of Tziyon is left like a shack in a vineyard, like a shed in a cucumber field, like a city under siege.

If Adonai-Tzva'ot had not left us a  tiny tiny remnant, we would have become like Sodom. we would have resembled Gomorrah.
Hear what Adonai (God) says, you rulers of Sodom.
Listen to God's Torah you people of Gomorrah

"Why are all those sacrifices offered to me?" asks Adonai (God)
"I'm fed up with burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fattened animals!
I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls, lambs and goats!
Yes, you come to appear in my presence but who asked you to do this, to trample through my courtyards?
Stop bringing worthless grain offering!"
They are like disgusting incense to me!
Rosh-Hodesh, Shabbat, calling convocations - I can't stand the evil together with your assemblies!
Everything in me hates your Rosh-hodesh and your festivals, they are a burden to me -
I am tired of putting up with them!

"When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you, no matter how much you pray
I won't be listening because your hands are covered with blood.

"Wash yourselves clean!
Get your evil deeds out of my sight!
Stop doing evil, learn to do good.
Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, defend orphans, plead for the widow.

"Come now" says Adonai (God)
"let's talk this over together.
Even if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow;
even if they are red as crimson they will be like wool.
If you will eat the good of the land but if you refuse and rebel
you will be eaten by the sword".
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken

When we look at our lives and wonder why they are not being blessed why, every time we seem to turn around things do not seem to be going the "right way" for us.  If we insist of resisting Gods ways and His teaching and fail to keep his commandments and learn to love one another and learn to live in harmony and forgiveness, we know that unless we start with ourselves how else can it be changed.

For me, each day I sit and read the scriptures and look and ask God to teach me what HE wants to me to understand how to help my fellow human beings - we are all the same - unless of course you consider yourself not from planet earth, have some other ideas, God created us all equal under the sun, no race is greater or lesser than the other, we all have the same God who gave us the same skills and talents it is how we choose to use them that matters.

We see the battles going on in diverse places just as the Scriptures says, Yeshua reassured us that the poor would always be with us, famines, pestilence, diseases, floods, droughts, chronic illnesses, tumours, people hearts failing them because of fear, these are just some of the items that God warned Israel about in Deuteronomy when they were given the choice to follow God and his ways and follow their own which would lead to destruction and separation from God and each other.

We can see the results very clearly today.

For me, reading the scriptures gives me a great deal of peace and joy and I know that my redeemer lives and that Yeshua will return and His Kingdom shall be established and we shall all bow down and confess that He is indeed King and Lord over all.

It is such a shame that mankind just does not seem to be aware of the real issues at hand, we could have a great planet to live on in peace and harmony if we all stopped trying to kill one another.

Jesus/Yeshua taught us to love our enemy, pray for them, not keep attacking people.
When are really going to take what Jesus said seriously and look at the way we treat our fellow man.

Each day when I go up on the top of the hills where I live in Estepona and marvel and amazing place we live in the incredible beauty that surrounds us, and even the birds and bees buzzing around all live in harmony with each other.  I really get a genuine sense of peace and praise God for the blessings he has bestowed upon my life.

I thank God that out of tragedy also comes joy and peace.
So that God for the blessings you have in your life, remember your neighbour, love your neighbour as yourself, then perhaps we can start to see some real changes in the way people treat one another, and in time hopefully, as the time draws closer to the coming of the King we will be ready to become true citizens of His Kingdom.

Thank you for spending time with me today.
Have a great weekend.

I use the Complete Jewish Bible for my studies, I find it really lovely and gives a great sense of oneness with God.

Historical Data

Have you ever read the Bible as a reference book, have you seen just how much interesting historical data is in this wonderful piece of work.

Today, I have been reading the 2nd book of Kings and am amazed at just how the different kings of Judah and Israel failed to keep Gods word and how they sacrificed their children in pagan rituals just like the nations before them which God drove out before Isreal and Judah moved into the areas they now share.

When I have been reading about the kings that actually did obey Gods teaching and his laws the nations prospered, and were given a peaceful time while the king who was being respectful to God and his teachings.  However, the kings who deliberately were pulling down Gods Temple and smashing up his altars and erecting standing stones, sacrificing on hills and going around like pagans with their totem poles to their various gods.  It is amazing that they were not completely wiped out.  Praise God that there is always someone around who is keen to follow God's teaching and his laws.  Realising that by keeping them and encouraging others to learn them and discover the joy of living in peace and prosperity is such a bonus.

God made a promise that those who would keep his teaching and his laws would prosper,
He also made the promise that those who would not and taught others not to follow Gods way of life there would be devastating consequences for their actions. Yet today in the society we live we can see the actual result of our drifting away from God of the Universe and seeking after lesser gods, and seeking alternative solutions.  Yet Here is the Loving God who created us is just waiting and willing to pick up your life and give you an abundant life if you will choose to let God be who he is.  He is the great I AM, YET Mankind has chosen to ignore him and wonders why it is in such a mess.

Broken marriages, broken bodies, tumours, heart failures, wars, floods, famines, wildfires, these are just a few things that God had made very clear in Deuteronomy would happen when people ignore God.

WE see each day in the newspapers more destruction - killing of innocents in schools with machine guns - we really need to look again at what we are teaching our children by these barbaric acts of violence against our young ones.

We see that in His Story, God shows mercy to those who will come to him for help and trust in him and obey him.  Is it not time for us to take another look at What God has to say in relation to our relationships with each other and our neighbour.  When Jesus was asked who is our neighbour our family - we are all related to each other because we all were created by the same God, the God of the Universe who spoke the word and it came to be.

Please take a good hard look at the scriptures and see for yourself the utter destruction that can come from our ignoring God.  He is able to wipe all the human race out in one fell swoop yet he has not done so because He loves us.  Hence he gave us His precious son to come and share in our lives and see just how fragile we are.  Yet even in our fragility we are monsters to each other.  We need to make a clear picture of who we are.  Animals do not treat each other the way we treat one another.

It is time to wake up and see that God will have His Way on this earth, His Kingdom shall come, His will shall be done, and His power will be seen and every knee and every tongue will confess that He is Lord indeed. 

It is up to us to make the first change - come to him in repentance for our lack of understanding, our lack of love, and our hatred for our fellow human beings.

Did we learn nothing from Germany and its genocide against Gods chosen people, not just the Jews but all those that did not fit into Hitlers guide for what the supreme race should be like..  Do you think the books of the prophets are just words with out meaning - you only have to look around you at the history to see the facts speak for themselves.  No civilisation has survived so long as Isreal and Egypt, they have an eternal history - yet all other nations are not so fortunate.  Many civilisations have come and gone, yet God has yet got Jerusalem set for where His Kingdom shall reign from.  Where the throne of Grace will be established, were the Law of God will then be sent out across the whole of the planet to all the nations.  All nations will come to God, all Nations will be called to come and worship Him in Jerusalem - yet we stupid human beings do not really believe that this will happen - yet EVERY WORD THAT GOD SPOKE CAME TO BE.

We need to wake up and see that there is a time coming where His Word will BE made Manifest and that His laws and teachings will once again be the way to live and if we choose not to obey we will suffer the consequence of our own actions.

What do you want from your life - God promised long life to those who would choose to obey and keep his ways. So for me, that is way forward, not to look back at the world and point the finger as if I had not had any part in it, rather I understand my weaknesses and I understand I need to make it clear to myself to come away from the worlds way of things and turn my attention to what has been written in Gods word and start to make a clear path for me to walk on because Gods path is the right path - there is no other path that leads to life and joy and peace.

Adventures in the Book of Kings

I have recently been reading the books of Kings in the Scriptures.  I have been thrilled at the incredible movement of God in peoples lives, how when we are obedient the nations flourish and prosper and when the kings/governments choose not to follow Gods teachings and instructions, the families are wiped out of history.  You can double check this for yourself if you take the time to read both books of Kings.  I am excited by what I am reading.

The more I read of the Scriptures the more secure I feel in God Creator and Yeshua the King of Kings.  We can have a faith as a child and believe as a child.  However when you start to look at the exciting events in the scriptures it gives me a real security in knowing that the God of the Bible is incredible and worth working with and growing to be more like him. To follow His instructions for our lives is for the benefit of every man woman and child in societies across the planet.

For me, I praise God for the Word of God, it never changes nor does it lead you astray.  YOU are the one that needs to see the amazing events in the Scriptures - it truly is an amazing adventure.

The prophets were so aware of Gods real presence in their lives and trusted Him with their lives.  Elisha and Elijah are incredible prophets and when you start to read their complete stories in the book of Kings - both books, you will discover a real sense of Trust.

Bless every one who reads this today.  May God Bless you with Peace and understanding.
Take care.

The Island, Gataca, Numbers,

I recently had the opportunity to watch "The Island" again.  The first time I watched I really just watched as a movie, however the other night I started to really get to grips of what the film was conveying.

We are an arrogant species if we think that we can actually create clones and produce them as full sized babyadults to use as body parts for our fellow human beings.  I found it was a tremendous story line because when you consider the line that Sean Bean said"that they found that the only way to make the organs last longer was to give the organs a life span " ie. develop them in to "product humans" that way they could be cultivated to use for certain members of societies elite - those that could afford to have a clone -

When we look back at other fantastic stories such as Jules Verne - 20,000 leagues under the sea, and his men on the moon books he wrote and possibly many others and we look about our world and we can see that we have achieved the submarines we have even been to the moon and back, yet all in this great so called progress, we are still arrogant enough to think that we can play God - oops we have been here before "the tower of Babel" remember what happened there, God confused the languages and separated the nations according to their language.

Do not think that just because it is just a "film" that people are not already experimenting with this kind of technology - even the family that had the baby sister in order for the elder sister was able to have help from her deliberately born baby sister for the purpose of using part of her anatomy

We see already the use of stem cell research being used on pigs to develop parts for human beings.

Are we so arrogant to think that there will not be trouble with this.

For me, God is the only creator who has the ability to create and destroy life, to be in the situation where a company is set up to develop human being embryos full size as men and women, then only to take away their lives on a deception of being sent to paradise island yet in reality they are being savagely brutalised, having been brainwashed as young babies in to believing they have had childhoods and families, believing that they had been "saved" from a holocaust scenario is horrific to say the least.  Yet when one member started to challenge the reason for their existence and what their life purpose was all about - he was not given satisfactory answers so he went off to discover it for himself, dragging a female whom he grown attached to - then went on a journey of discovery of their "parents" the people whom they had been cloned from.

They would not stand a chance in reality just like in the film - however if we are really so blind as not to realise that they makers of such films just as Jules Vernes was inspired so are these people who write the books then get turned in to films.  It is amazing that when we look at the Bible on how much people just ignore as possible because they do not believe it happened yet, when we are faced with the reality of events that unfold before us.

As a child I used to watch Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Stingray, and a whole host other things, like Lost in Space, yet today we can see that we have reached the start, we have video phones - mobile phones, we use skype, these are technologies which when I was growing up were unheard of - only in comic books and fantasy, yet they have become a reality.

Do we really consider that we are going to be able to stem the tide of "cloning", or even like in Gatica where people are selected before they are born to have the "right" dna - non criminal personalities, no abusive - we really need to consider what is happening.

A lot of films tend to be quite prophetic in nature - they are inspired works, it just depends on who is doing the inspiring.

I saw Numbers a few years ago - that too is a very challenging film - also a prophetic film.

Are we as human beings going to constantly deny that God is in Control and therefore we can trust him who created us to take care of us, if we are constantly trying to make plans yet they never come to pass, we need to remember that when God makes a plan it always comes to pass.

I have been reading the book of Kings this week and have been discovering just how true that is.  When mankind insist of being perverse and not see God as their creator and their father, and insist on living their lives with consulting God about matters that concern them then we are in for a mass destruction.  The world is feeling the affects of Gods wrath, because Mankind are too blind to see - they are out of line with God and His desire for Mankind.

We are a self destructive species, hell bent on destroying our fellow humanbeing, with our chemical warfare, weapons of mass destruction - and yet at the same time we are trying to prolong our lives with drugs and herbs and whatever we are encouraged to believe will help us to have long lives.

Our days are numbered - God has decreed how long Mankind is going to be on the planet - we can see that in civilizations of the past - we can see that the planet quickly obliterates any evidence of human beings being in the vicinity - yet there are remains of cultures who have gone before.  We can see that no matter what "we" do God is able to do much better.  He created us, our planet and everything we see around us.

The fact that some consider we have evolved from some goo in the mud, or whether we arrived from out of space, or where created from the mud of the earth the fact is that we are here, yet we are so destructive we may not be here in 30 years from now because of our attitude to life and each other.

Do not think that I am scaremongering, I am aware of what I have read and see with the scenes on the news and how people treat one another that there must come a time when we start to treat each other with respect and care and love.  After all that is why Christ came to return us back to God and give us an opportunity for Salvation and restoration.  To save us from ourselves. Without His sacrifice we would not have anywhere to turn.

Just as the days of Noah and their belittling of people who trust and obey God, so too with the World as we understand it be treated with just as much relish as the people in Noah's day.  God gave us and opportunity to change - yet we insist on being stubborn, arrogant, selfish, loveless, lawless.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAKE UP.
