JS BACH - AIR ON THE G STRING - WHITWORTH HALL ORGAN - THE UNIVERSITY OF...
Note from the author
Overwhelmed by the magnificent grandeur of the Lord God, but protected by his strong arm. This is how I feel when I am surrounded by Johann Sebastian Bach´s music especially when it´s played on a great organ.
The Reports of the Spies …32So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had spied out: “The land we explored devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw there are great in stature. 33We even saw the Nephilim there— the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!” Numbers 13:33
Of course, they had not yet read what Isaiah said about how scary giants looked in God´s sight from his celestial throne. …
21Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth? 22He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 23He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless.…Isaiah 40:22

Is Spiritual Warfare of "Binding a Territorial spirit" Biblical? Dave Hunt.
Question: What about the "spiritual warfare" teaching that by "binding" in the name of the Lord the "territorial spirit" controlling a city Christians can take over that city for God?
Answer: Such an idea has no biblical basis, either by precept or example.
Yes, "the prince of the kingdom of Persia: prevented the angel Gabriel for three weeks from coming to Daniel (Daniel 10:12-13). Daniel, however, was seeking prophetic insight--not to "bind" the "territorial spirit" over Persia.
Nor did Gabriel instruct him to wage such warfare. Gabriel's mission was to inform Daniel of last-days events affecting Israel (v 14)--information which the "prince of Persia" tried to hinder. There is no hint that "binding" this demon would have delivered Persia from Satanic influence or that Gabriel's victory over this demon (with the help of Michael the Archangel) had any effect upon the spiritual climate in Persia or aided in the salvation of Persians.
Paul never tried to "bind territorial spirits" in bringing the gospel to the world of his day, so why should we? And although the apostles "turned the world upside down," there is no hint that a single city was ever "taken for God," as Wimber, Paulk, Hayford, Frangipane, Lea, and so many others are promising.
In Corinth, for example, where Paul spent 18 months, God gave him special protection and blessing because He had "much people in this city" (Acts 18:9-10). The issue was not to deliver Corinth, but to call a company of believers out of it. Nor did Paul's success change the destiny of Corinth--or of any other city or nation.

The Millenium reign of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the word of God
The Millenium reign of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the word of God
Dave Hunt
While the millennium is commonly referred to as the Kingdom of God for which Jesus taught His disciples to pray (“Thy kingdom come…”), that cannot be true for several obvious reasons. Foremost of all, the millennium ends after 1000 years. But the Word of God distinctly tells us that God’s kingdom “is an everlasting kingdom” (Psalm 145:13). Even Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar knew that “his [God’s] kingdom is an everlasting kingdom…” (Daniel:4:3).
Daniel reiterates that fact (Daniel 7:14), as does Isaiah in his prophecy of the Messiah who will rule restored Israel: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father…” (Isaiah 9:6). The next verse, often overlooked, is conclusive, “and in the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end.” No end!
Yet the millennium ends, and with earth’s final war. At that time Jesus himself has been reigning on David’s throne for 1000 years during which Satan has been confined to “the bottomless pit” so that he could “deceive the nations no more” (Revelation 20:1-3). Christ has established peace on earth and has enforced it with a rod of iron (Psalm 2). The lion lies down with the lamb and eats straw like an ox (Isaiah 65:25). Yet as soon as Satan is released, mankind “the number of whom is as the sand of the sea” follow him in battle against Christ in Jerusalem (Revelation 20:7-9). That war alone disqualifies the millennium from being God’s kingdom of endless peace.
There are other disqualifications. Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can even see, much less enter into, the Kingdom of God without being born again of the Holy Spirit (John 3:1-16). Yet multitudes living in the millennial kingdom will not have been born again, providing another reason why it is not the Kingdom of God. Paul declared, “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). But there will be millions of “flesh-and-blood” people living in the millennium—a further reason why it is not the Kingdom of God.
Then what is the millennium? Quite clearly, it is God’s final proof of the incorrigible evil of the human heart. Even Christ, having turned into a paradise rivaling the Garden of Eden, ruling with a rod of iron and the redeemed in glorified bodies reigning with Him cannot change the human heart or make men willingly obey Him. There is no way to reform the present human race. It must be put to death in Christ and created anew through faith in Him. The kingdom begins in individual hearts when Christ the King is received to reign within.

The "Gualdaloupe Skeleton"
From Genesis Park
THE GUADELOUPE SKELETON
The ‘Guadeloupe Woman’ is a well-authenticated discovery which has been in the British Museum for over half a century. In 1812, on the coast of the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, a fully human skeleton was found, complete in every respect except for the feet and head. It belonged to a woman about 5 foot 2 inches tall.
What makes it of great significance is the fact that this skeleton was found inside extremely hard, very old limestone, which was part of a formation more than a mile in length! Modern geological dating places this formation at 28 million years old—which is 25 million years before modern man is supposed to have first appeared on earth (according to evolutionists)!
Since such a date for a regular person does not fit evolutionary theory, you will not find “Guadeloupe Woman” mentioned in the Hominid textbooks. To do so would be to disprove evolutionary dating of rock formations.
Could this have been a victim of the flood just 4,500 years ago, considering we know the earth isn't millions of years old?

Cravos da Liberdade: Igreja Evangélica Baptista de Caldas da Rainha Portugal
Borrowed from: https://www.facebook.com/igrejabaptistadecaldasdarainha
Cravos da Liberdade: Uma Comparação entre os Cravos do 25 de Abril e os Cravos de Jesus
Enquanto nossa nação relembra o 25 de Abril com cravos vermelhos, sĂmbolo da revolução que trouxe liberdade, hĂĄ um significado mais profundo por trĂĄs dessas flores. Enquanto os cravos do 25 de Abril celebram a liberdade terrena conquistada com lutas e sacrifĂcios, hĂĄ outra histĂłria de liberdade, aquela que transcende os limites temporais e se estende atĂ© a eternidade.
Os cravos que adornam a cruz de Jesus sĂŁo mais do que meras flores; sĂŁo sĂmbolos de redenção e liberdade espiritual. Nos momentos sombrios do CalvĂĄrio, esses mesmos cravos que prendiam o Filho de Deus Ă cruz se tornaram instrumentos de libertação para a humanidade. Cristo, atravĂ©s do sacrifĂcio supremo, rompeu as correntes do pecado e da morte, oferecendo a todos nĂłs a verdadeira liberdade.
Enquanto os cravos do 25 de Abril desaparecem com o tempo, os cravos de Jesus permanecem como um lembrete eterno do amor redentor de Deus. Eles nos lembram que a verdadeira liberdade nĂŁo Ă© apenas uma conquista polĂtica, mas uma dĂĄdiva divina disponĂvel para todos os que creem. Enquanto Portugal celebra sua histĂłria e suas conquistas, que nunca nos esqueçamos da liberdade suprema que encontramos em Jesus Cristo, cujos cravos nos libertaram para sempre.
Que neste 25 de Abril possamos refletir nĂŁo apenas sobre os eventos histĂłricos que moldaram nossa nação, mas tambĂ©m sobre o sacrifĂcio incomparĂĄvel de Jesus, cujos cravos nos garantem uma liberdade eterna e redentora. Que os cravos da cruz nos inspirem a viver em gratidĂŁo e a compartilhar essa mensagem de liberdade com o mundo ao nosso redor.
