One has a lot of friends these days, so to speak,
yet these are mostly just virtual friends. These are not even pals or comrades yet
and far from being real friends most of the time.

The War that will continue
The war in Gaza will continue for at least another seven months, Benjamin Netanyahu’s national security adviser has suggested as more tanks rolled into Rafah on Wednesday May 29. “We expect another seven months of combat in order to shore up our achievement and realise what we define as the destruction of Hamas and Islamic […]

The myth that people are paid what they’re “worth”
Friends, Don’t be fooled by the myth that people are paid what they’re “worth” — that the rich deserve their ever-increasing incomes and wealth because they’re worth far more to the economy now than years ago (when the incomes and wealth of those at the top were more modest relative to everyone else’s). The […]

Putin: Russia’s modern-day tsar sworn in for fifth term
BBC, May 8, 2024 Event For the fifth time, Vladimir Putin took the long walk through the Grand Kremlin Palace to the St Andrew’s Throne Hall. There he took the oath of office and was sworn in as Russia’s president for a new six-year term. “We are a united and great people. Together we will […]
A multi-front war between Israel and her surrounding, nearby enemies
The Israeli military has established a new mountaineer unit tasked with carrying out operations across the country’s hostile borders with Lebanon and Syria amid worsening tensions over the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. “We are in a multi-front war—Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, and also farther away,” IDF Chief of the General […]
US strikes Houthi missiles in Yemen and Iran-backed militia in Iraq
The Times, January 24, 2024 Event Two cargo ships sailing close to the Gulf of Aden came under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Wednesday night, the White House said — forcing the US navy to intervene as the Iran-backed militia intensified its maritime assault on commercial shipping. Houthi forces fired three anti-ship ballistic […]
Are we witnessing the opening salvos of World War 3?
The Independent, January 19, 2024 Event It is hard to escape the impression of a theatre of military conflict that is inexorably growing – to the east and the south, if not yet to the north and the west. And if you look backwards, rather than forwards, the Hamas massacres of Israelis on 7 October, and Israel’s all-out […]
Russia, Turkey, Iran Condemn Attack on Yemeni Houthis
VOA, January 12, 2024 Event Thursday’s retaliatory attacks by U.S. and British forces on Iranian-backed Houthis inside Yemen have prompted support and condemnation from the international community.

Biden draws direct link between Putin and Hamas
Event Guardian, October 20, 2023 Joe Biden has drawn a direct, provocative link between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s attack on Israel as he urged Americans not to walk away from their role as “a beacon to the world”.

Hezbollah praises Hamas, says attack is message to Arab countries normalizing ties with Israel

Relation between true self-knowledge and knowledge of the world

Neither can we attain self-knowledge without a knowledge of the world. It is like the beating of a pendulum which must swing back and forth. […]

Nach 100 Jahren hier auf der Erde endete sein Lauf
Seit Corona mussten wir in unserer brüderlichen Gemeinschaft einige Brüder und Schwestern mehrfach verabschieden.

Doch im Januar war es so weit, dass wenige Monate nach seinem hundertsten Geburtstag auch […]

Sinds Corona hebben we in onze broedergemeenschap al meermaals afscheid van enkele broeders en zusters moeten nemen.

De komst van Elia #3 Komt Elia vóór de wederkomst?
Velen zaten met de vraag: Wie zou er eerst komen: Elia of de Messias; en was Johannes de doper misschien de teruggekeerde Elia?
De komst van Elia #2 De dag des Heren en Johannes de doper
Vervolg van De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia De dag des Heren Elia zou komen “voordat de grote en geduchte dag van God komt”. De uitdrukking “de dag des HEREN” betekent een tijd wanneer Jehovah Zich in de wereld zal manifesteren, gewoonlijk met oordeel. Zij is dus niet van toepassing alleen op […]
De komst van Elia #1 de Gezonden profeet Elia
Elia wiens naam betekent ‘voor wie Jehovah God is’. In het Grieks en het Nieuwe Testament is de naam Elias. Hij was de grote profeet die door wonderen en tekenen geweldig ijverde voor de zaak van zijn Heer Jehovah Die hij aanzag als de Enige Ware God. Hij vertrouwde op de verhoring van zijn gebed en is een van de meest merkwaardige personen uit het Oude Testament.
Nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde
“Want zie, Ik schep een nieuwe hemel en een nieuwe aarde; aan wat vroeger was, zal niet gedacht worden. ” De eerste keer dat wij de uitdrukking “nieuwe hemelen en een nieuwe aarde” in het Nieuwe Testament tegenkomen is in de tweede brief van de apostel Petrus, waar hij waarschuwt voor het vergaan van “de […]

Foretold Messiah 5 Old Testament pointing to John the Baptist and to Immanuel, Jeshua the Christ
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
Foretold Messiah 4 From the seed of Noah and Abraham
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Foretold Messiah 3 Bruised one to be taken into heaven as a servant and son of God
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Foretold Messiah 2 a Voice giving The Word to His servants
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.

El amor de Dios no se detiene
El amor de Dios es uno que nos creó y que puede reírse de nosotros para siempre. Cuando las personas escuchan hablar a los cristianos, deberían escuchar mucho sobre el amor de Dios.

L’amour de Dieu ne s’arrête pas
Quand les gens entendent les chrétiens parler, ils devraient entendre beaucoup parler de l’amour de Dieu. Ils devraient savoir que cet Amour ne s’arrêtera jamais. Par amour, Dieu a créé l’humanité et veut la voir grandir et peupler le monde. Malheureusement, l’homme est allé contre Dieu, mais cela ne l’a pas empêché de toujours montrer […]
God’s love does not stop
When people hear Christians speak, they should hear a lot about the love of God. They should know that that Love will never stop. Out of love, God created humanity and wants to see it grow and populate the world. Unfortunately, man has gone against God, but that has not stopped Him from always showing […]
Gods liefde stopt niet
Als mensen christenen horen spreken, zouden ze veel over de liefde van God moeten horen. Ze zouden moeten te weten komen dat Die Liefde nooit zal stoppen. Uit liefde heeft God de mensheid geschapen en wil Hij deze zien aangroeien en de wereld zien bevolken. Spijtig genoeg is de mens tegen God ingegaan, maar dat […]

Israel’s measured strike on Iran sends a deliberately mixed message to the world
The Telegraph, April 19, 2024 Event The message sent by Israel’s limited military strike on Iran depends entirely on where you sit – and that “ambiguity” is very much intentional.

We won’t stop Rafah offensive, vows Netanyahu
The Times, March 21, 2024 Event Binyamin Netanyahu has told senior US Republicans that Israel “won’t stop” its planned Rafah offensive, even if it lacks American support.

Constantine wanted unity in his realm, and his call in 325 C.E. for a council of his bishops at Nicaea, located in the Eastern, Greek-speaking domain of his empire, across the Bosporus from the new city of Constantinople was in a certain way his goal to achieve some agreement by which many could live.
