    Thought for August 19th. “AND YOU WILL SEE”

    Today we read the 72 verses of Mark ch. 14; it is a heart moving account, especially if read slowly and thoughtfully in a way that engages our heart and not just our mind. It is a fairly detailed record of the day before the arrest of Jesus and then of his arrest and how this shattered the faith of his disciples.  Their faith was based on sight, they were to learn that true faith is having “the eyes of your heart enlightening, that you may know …” [Eph. 2 v.18] What is our faith based on?  Are we ready for a real test of our faith as this world falls apart? In some parts of the world real tests are taking place now. Let us make every effort to build up our faith so that when we sense his return is really imminent – and all around us is in increasing chaos – we firmly endure – until our faith is turned to sight.  Meditate on the scene when Jesus stood before the High Priest, and a mixture of witnesses made accusation against him because “the whole counsel were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none …. Many bore false witness against him.” [v.55,56]  It was the middle of the night, we are in awe as we imagine the intense emotions! The High Priest then asked Jesus, ‘Have you no answer to make?  … but he remained silent … Again the High Priest asked him, ‘Are you the Christ (the Messiah) …?’   “Then Jesus responded, “I am, and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” [v.60-62]. From Jesus words’ in Luke 13 v.28, “there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out” [Luke 13 v.28] it is clear that his accusers will be raised to life to witness his return and glory.  What agony of horror, what utter dismay will fill their hearts!  Imagine it?    A more important question will be our feelings when we are privileged to see this. Surely his coming is near, those younger in heart can surely say to each other ‘and you will see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom and ….’               And what?  We will see each other there too!  What feelings will be ours? We make sure of the answer now.

    God's Wisdom in the Family Design #3 The Wisdom of the Family Unit Ken Styles

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Actual, provable Bible Truth] We’re convinced that God’s design for the family is not just a set of ancient rules, but a profound, life-saving blueprint. In this outstanding, expositional study, we continue our journey through God's Wisdom in the Family Unit, moving from the marriage relationship into the broader family dynamic. We explore how the principles of Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3 are not merely for husbands and wives but provide a framework for the entire household, revealing how God uses our families to save us all.This is a thought-provoking and wonderful session that examines the family as God’s invention, designed to raise a godly seed. We discuss the critical responsibility parents have to model a godly life, the importance of a "kingdom heading" family objective, and the sobering reality of spiritual abuse.

    The Appointed Time #3 '1260 years of Little Horn Dominion' part 1 David Zammit

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Actual, provable Bible Truth] We are delving into one of the most thought-provoking and insightful prophetic threads in all of Scripture. This expositional study on the 1260-year dominion of the Little Horn is outstanding in its clarity, revealing how Bible prophecy maps perfectly onto the timeline of history. Join us for a wonderful journey through the books of Daniel and Revelation as we uncover the identity of this power and witness God's sovereign hand at work.In this powerful session, we trace the prophetic timeline from the height of the Roman Empire, through its fragmentation, and the subsequent rise of a unique religious-political power. We analyse the principle of prophecy by repetition and expansion, showing how God highlights what truly matters. Witness the historical shift from persecution to imperial favour under Constantine, the church's embrace of political power, and the incredible fulfilment of Daniel's vision. From the breaking up of Rome to the rise of the Papacy and its remarkable domination, we prove that history is simply prophecy unveiled.*Chapters:*00:00 - Introduction & The Principle of Repetition in Prophecy04:45 - The Foundation: Nebuchadnezzar's Image (Daniel 2)06:00 - The Fourth Beast of Daniel 7: The Roman Empire10:00 - The Historical Fly-Through: From Pagan Rome to Constantine13:30 - Constantine's Influence and the Politicisation of the Church19:30 - The Splitting of the Empire & The Rise of the Ten Horns22:00 - Identifying the Little Horn: The Papal Power25:30 - The Pompous Words & Historical Claims of the Papacy28:00 - The Handover of Authority (AD 538) & The Key Historical Anchors31:30 - The Rise of the Holy Roman Empire & The Two Beasts37:00 - The Humiliation of Kings (The Road to Canossa)39:30 - The Persecution of the Saints & The Inquisition42:00 - The Turning Point: The French Revolution & The Rise of Napoleon44:30 - The End of Temporal Power (1798 & 1870) & Conclusion46:50 - Looking Ahead to Part Two & Call to Action*Bible Verse Category:*📖 Daniel 2:44 - The Kingdom of God📖 Daniel 7:7-8 - The Fourth Beast & The Little Horn📖 Daniel 7:19-22 - The War Against the Saints📖 Daniel 7:25 - The Time, Times, and Dividing of a Time📖 Revelation 12:10 - The Kingdom as They Saw It📖 Revelation 13:2 - The Dragon Gives Power📖 Revelation 13:11-12 - The Beast of the Earth*Tags:*Bible Prophecy, Book of Daniel, Revelation, 1260 days, Little Horn, Roman Empire, Constantine, Papacy, History, Bible Study, Christadelphian, End Times, Prophecy Fulfilled, Apocalyptic, Biblical Exposition, Daniel 7, Prophetic Timeline, Truth*We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

    God's Wisdom in the Family Design #2 The Roles of Husbands and Wives with Ken Styles

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Actual, provable Bible Truth] This outstanding and thought-provoking session, the second in the series, delves deeply into the divine blueprint for marriage, focusing specifically on the distinct yet complementary roles of husbands and wives as revealed in Scripture. We explore how God’s wisdom transcends human expectations, transforming the marital relationship into a powerful vehicle for salvation. This is an insightful exposition that challenges cultural norms and calls us back to the foundational principles of godly love, headship, and mutual support. Prepare to be inspired and challenged by the wonderful wisdom of God in the design of the family unit.**📌 Video Summary:**We begin with a review of key principles, establishing that God’s primary objective for marriage is salvation, not merely happiness. The session then dissects the three components of a godly marriage—spiritual, emotional, and physical—emphasising that the spiritual must come first. We tackle the misunderstood concept of "headship," revealing it to be a profound responsibility of sacrificial love and service, rather than a mandate for domination. A central theme is the evolution of love from the romantic to the self-sacrificing, salvation-focused love of Christ, which is essential for enduring trials. We also examine practical commands, like the husband's role to sanctify his wife and the requirement for immediate forgiveness, before exploring the specific responsibilities of a wife to support and respect her husband in his daunting role. The session culminates by showing how both partners, by fulfilling their God-given roles, can experience transformation and be saved together.**📖 Bible Verse Category:**- 📖 Ephesians 5:23-33- 📖 1 Peter 3:7- 📖 Genesis 2:18- 📖 Titus 2:5**⏱️ Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction & Review of Key Principles06:51 - The Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical Components09:14 - The Husband’s Role: Headship as Responsibility, Not Rule10:54 - Christ as Our Model of Self-Sacrificing Leadership12:22 - The Command to Love: Romantic Love vs. Sacrificial Love18:18 - The Wisdom of God: Why This High Calling is Essential22:15 - Sanction & Cleansing: The Husband’s Role in Spiritual Protection26:24 - The Critical Role of Forgiveness in Marriage34:09 - The Husband’s Role in 1 Peter 3: Honour and Understanding40:29 - The Warning: Your Prayers and Your Relationship with God42:55 - The Wife’s Role: Helper, Homekeeper, and Encourager44:37 - Supporting the Husband: The Daunting Responsibility of Being "Christ"47:26 - The Power of Respect: Why a Husband Needs It the Most51:05 - Conclusion: The Marvelous Arrangement of God's Wisdom**🔑 Tags:**Christadelphian marriage roles, biblical marriage advice, Ephesians 5 husband wife, roles of husbands and wives, God's wisdom in marriage, Christian family design, Ken Styles Bible Standard, sacrificial love in marriage, headship in the Bible, salvation focused marriage, marriage enrichment seminar, Christadelphian teachings, Bible study marriage, Christian marriage roles, biblical headshipWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

    Thought for August 18th. “WHAT WONDERFUL BUILDINGS”

    By the standards of 2,000 years ago Jerusalem’s Temple was outstanding, “what wonderful buildings” the disciples said to Jesus as they “came out of the Temple” [Mark 13 v.1].  How shocked they must have been at his reply, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” [v.2]  And so they were – 40 years later! Similarly, the Temple and city of Jeremiah’s day were destroyed and we read today in his 39th chapter of how all that the LORD had caused him to prophesy against the city took place and the king and all his officials are in great distress and most of them are killed. Mark’s chapter records the pronouncements of doom Jesus made against Jerusalem itself, these have some parallels with events that Jeremiah experienced.  However, in responding to his disciples anxious requests for further explanations Jesus described far more than the destruction of these “wonderful buildings.”   “This must take place,” he said, “but the end is not yet.  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be earthquakes in various places …” [v.7-8]   He made a most significant point when he added, v.10, “and this gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations” – and only now has this happened – we understand that at least the gospels have now been translated into every known language.  Surely we can say “What wonderful” foreknowledge the Bible reveals!   Jesus told them, “… false prophets will arise … to lead astray if possible the elect” [v.22].  Jeremiah also had to contend with false prophets (ch. 29 v.24-32]   “But be on your guard” Jesus said to the disciples, “I have told you all things beforehand” [v.23]  If we are truly his disciples,  we will realize that among the “all things” are events that apply to our generation, for Jerusalem is no longer “trampled underfoot” and so “the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” [Luke 21 v.24]  Finally, our Mark chapter ends, “Therefore stay awake – for you do not know when the Master of the house will come …”  A message for you and I.

    https://christadelphianvideo.org/tftd/daily-readings-and-thought-for-august-17th-he-abandoned-the-counsel/

    Those in authority, for example, Govt Ministers, are surrounded by advisors who debate situations and counsel those in power on the best policies to follow.  Tragically there have been some examples of human wisdom, or lack of it, that have been quite tragic.  We have an example in our 1 Kings reading today; a new king seeks advice on what policy he should follow, but really he has made up his mind and so seeks advisors to give him an answer that appeals to him.  This king is Solomon’s son Rehoboam.  He first “took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father” [12 v.6]  Their advice was to lighten the heavy tax burdens Solomon had put on the people – as they had requested and all will be well.  But next we read, “He abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him…” [v.8] Their advice was the opposite!  “And the king answered the people harshly …” [v,13]  We wonder if they had too much confidence in the promises made to David, thinking, surely his grandson can dictate what the people should do?  Rehoboam was 41 when he ascended to the throne – and should have been mature.  He surely knew the promises God had made to his grandfather, and, we suspect, had a false expectation as to how they would work themselves out in his generation. He did not humble himself before God to learn and do his will.  God knew his heart; he knew the disaster that would soon befall him.  Rehoboam went boldly up to the northern tribes, but soon, he  “hurried to mount his chariot and flee to Jerusalem.” [v.18].   We can see the lessons that this incident provides for us.  Where do we go to seek counsel? We know the answer!   But we must not make the mistake of so many, in searching Scripture looking for the kind of answer we want in relation s to some issue, so that we can seem to ‘confirm’ our belief in something we want to believe.  It is this desire that has led to so many churches coming into existence. Let us meditate on the example of Paul and his words to the elders at Ephesus.  “I do not count my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God…. I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.” [Acts 20 v.24,27]  We need the “whole counsel of God” – that is why we need to read – and reflect on what we read – from God’s word every day, each year reading all the words that he has caused to be recorded and preserved –  the lessons from Jeremiah being particularly relevant – as is tomorrow’s chapter in Mark about the return of Christ “after that tribulation” .
