Miscellaneous | by | Volume 29, Issue 6 | November – December 2023

AUDIO

In 2 Corinthians 11:21-33 the Apostle Paul enumerates his many trials and afflictions which he had suffered in his service of the Truth. He recalls the humiliating circumstances surrounding his escape from Damascus when he was let through a window and lowered down the wall in a basket. The occasion was the time shortly after his conversion (cp Acts 9:25), and Paul tells us incidentally that at that time there was a governor in Damascus who was subject to Aretas the king.

The Genius of the Foetal Circulatory System

Marvels of Creation | by | Volume 29, Issue 6 | November – December 2023

AUDIO

The degree of regulatory control and informational complexity of the process that drives embryonic development is far beyond human comprehension. Few biological phenomena are as gripping and awe-inspiring as the process of reproduction and the development of a baby in utero. The signature of design here is unmistakable, for so much of the process—from conception to delivery—depends on foresight and planning.

On Saturday 7 October Hamas launched 5000 rockets at Israel in an early morning surprise attack it called “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”. Mohammad Deif, the Hamas military commander, issued a statement saying that the ongoing attacks were in retaliation for Israel’s “desecration” of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and urged Arabs in Jerusalem and inside Israel, in the Negev, the Galilee and northern Israel to “set the earth on fire under the feet of the occupiers”.

Melbourne Prophecy Day

Watchman | by |

On a cold winter’s day in Melbourne, the 2023 Prophecy Day was held at the Ringwood Community Centre.

We were very grateful for the talks by Brother Andrew Dangerfield, who gave us a current event update, and Brother Steve Hornhardt, who spoke on Revelation 10 and 14.

Joel 3 was read to introduce Brother Andrew’s talk, which gave us a broad overview of current events. He spoke about the importance of Bible prophecy, helping us to hold onto our faith until the end. He spoke about the importance of prophecy in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and how it gave him the strength to go to the cross.
