When rocks are raining down on your head, not because of an avalanche, but because a lynch mob are trying to kill you, things are getting pretty tough. It's often hard to see what purpose is served by times of immense pressure or trials. The apostle Paul calls this process tribulation. It means being squeezed on all sides - like an baby being forced through the birth canal during labour...

In the early hours of 6 June 2023 there Kakhovka dam was destroyed causing what is said to be the biggest environmental disaster in Europe since Chernobyl. Andriy Odarchuk was in the stricken region as part of a team working with emergency services when they realised the Russians had begun shelling them. In this interview he tells of his experiences as a paramedic rescuing the rescuers.
In this last (maybe) episode we attempt in far too sort a time to unravel the many threads of Christian Eschatology. We take a look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 and try to trace the strands which seem clear and unambiguous. We consider the glorious moment when Jesus the Bridegroom is united with his Bride, the church.

We discover that Jesus is amazingly fully human, yet fully God. By virtue of his humanity he is able to be a High Priest who fully knows what it is to be human; having fully experienced human suffering; yet he is also able to be the exactly perfect sacrifice to pay for all of our sin debt.

I kinda like Jesus - he's the friend of the outcast and the social rejects; he's like Gandhi, or Robin Hood - but why do we need the Bloody Cross? Why is the Christian message so obsessed with sacrifice and blood - how does that speak to us in the 21st Century?

Chapter 18: This chapter reads like a lament from merchants and traders over a city which previously had made their trading prosper. We discover how the Babylonish spirit is woven into the world's systems but is hostile to God and his prophets and apostles. Here is a clear call for us to live lives separated from Babylon and belonging to Jesus.

https://linktr.ee/paullwhite
Chapter 17: We see Babylon, the world's systems exposed as evil and deceptive characterised as a prostitute riding a beast. It appears that the beast hates Babylon and conspires to bring about her end - which turns out to be God orchestrating her judgment!

Chapter 16: Seven angels begin pouring out plagues on the earth, which affect those who worshipped the beast and had accepted his mark.
