The chief misunderstanding is not to realise that the God of the Bible and of the whole biblical narrative is fundamentally linked to the nation of Israel and its history and development. Where and when other nations are mentioned it is only in respect to their association with Israel.

In a strange reversal, the Roman church has used Peter as a falsified witness for their version of truth, when in fact he was never in Rome. The ancient Romans did however call their pagan gods ‘Peters’.

This period of time (April/May 2020), is such that we are unable to congregate with others in groups larger than two or three, unless we have several children. However, for the most part, we are not gathering in His Name, our Lord Jesus Christ. For by and large, we have abandoned Him and in many cases have never known Him. We do not even ask Him for mercy and forgiveness, that we may have this current plague taken from us.

Recently, we witnessed a great economic revival in China, caused mainly by western nations closing down their factories and outsourcing or importing dirt cheap goods from the East. Anything to make a profit, even if it means betraying your own country and its workers.

We often come across the idea that God will allow His People to be destroyed because of their grievous sin, but is this really so? The Lord is most jealous for His Inheritance – Israel – and to allow her complete destruction would be first and foremost a dishonour to Him which He could not and would not allow. For His word is Law and He is the God that changes not.

Here we have a neat encapsulation of our current Brexit conundrum. For the deal that our Prime minister Boris Johnson has concluded with the European Union, is in fact a treaty that still keeps us bound to the iniquitous European monolith. Is indeed a deal that the Lord God of Israel has not sanctioned, and which will be a source of shame if enacted and ratified?

In the days of Rehoboam, son of Solomon, he was given a choice. Follow the words of wisdom of the old men and keep the Israel nation united or hearken to the protestations of the young men which would lead to the division of the ten tribes of Israel from the two of Judah and Benjamin.

King Edward 8th of Britain, known informally as David, abdicated the throne on 10m December 1936, having decided to remain with Mrs. Wallis Simpson (originally Besslewallis Warfield) after her divorce (kept secret by the British press) from her husband Ernest, whom she had married after previously divorcing her first husband Earl Winfield Spencer, a lieutenant in the US Navy. How times do not change!

On Sunday, 17th March, I prayed to the Lord that He might guide me to open my Bible to reveal a message pertinent to our current national (UK) predicament. I closed my eyes and opened my Bible at 2 Chronicles, chapter 29. This seemed relevant as our supposed Brexit day is the 29th March 2(01)9….

We must remember just how prevalent and overpowering was this force of materialism in the latter half of the 19th Century. Despite all the blessings that Almighty God had brought to the British nation, they turned their back on Him and worshipped those other gods (of atheistic science).
