Kingdom Tidings Summer/Autumn 2011

The King James Version is also referred to as the "Authorised Version" as a result of the title page declaration that this Bible was "authorized to be read in churches".

At a meeting in Hampton Court Palace in 1604, King James 1st of England set in motion a process of revision and translation that resulted in the production of what we affectionately know as the 1611 King James Version. It took seven years for this to be "newly translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations diligently compared and revised". The King James Version became the standard in the Protestant, English speaking world. It had a major impact on our law making and in shaping the moral fabric of our society.

It is not without significance that, since the 1970's when modern translations were thrust upon us, especially the NIV whose copyright is held by a secular media mogul, that our Israel nation has been strangled by the laws of the Babylonish European Union and has been dragged into a quagmire of iniquity and sin with the removal of Bible values that once governed the moral ethics of everyday life. Those who hate it do so because they fear it. They fear the exposure of sin and unrighteousness that shines from its pages as they clamber for a softer version that covers up their ungodly actions. But there is no escaping the fact that "the writing was the writing of God".

We urge you to use the King James Version with a resolve of no compromise and no surrender.

ROTHSCHILDS STAGE REVOLUTIONS IN TUNISIA AND EGYPT TO KILL ISLAMIC BANKS IN EMERGING NORTH AFRICAN MARKETS

Contrary to popular belief, the world's finances are controlled by privately-owned 'central banks' masquerading as federal government
banks in nearly every country in the world.

Islamic banks have been eating into Rothschild profits in the Middle East because they don't charge interest (as we all know that is one of the principles of Shariah Law), they are growing very rapidly among the world's exploding Muslim populations, and (in these catastrophic economic times) they are more stable than western capitalistic, interest-charging-banks.

These Rothschild revolutions are done under the pretence of bringing democracy and deposing despots, but the real aim is to initially create chaos and a leadership vacuum, and then quickly offer a solution: install a puppet that will do the economic bidding of the Rothschilds. The citizens gain freedom of speech and association, but become economic serfs.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

Psalm 46:1-4

No words are adequate to express the sense of loss experienced by John and Hilda on the tragic death of their son Matthew Philip Watson (Matty) aged 19 years, on Sunday 13th March 2011 in a road traffic accident.

Matthew had just started to "learn the ropes" to help his dad at the computer editing for the Bible Stands radio and TV programmes. Matthew was a polite, respectful and happy young man. He was a keen sports man, playing badminton, football and hockey. Matthew was involved as a leader in several Christian youth clubs, the Boys Brigade and Orange Order as well as a volunteer for charity fundraising. He was also an enthusiastic drummer in a flute band. John said "it was a privilege to have Matthew as our son".

Matthew is now among those who "sleep in Jesus" - I Thessalonians 4:14, awaiting that bright resurrection morning "when the dead in Christ shall rise first" - I Thessalonians 4:16 when he will then see his Saviour face to face.

Evidence suggests ancient Egyptians visited Australia over 2,000 years ago. Phoenicians must have been involved. Egyptians in those times were poor map makers, employing expert Phoenician navigators to steer their boats on voyages of both trade and exploration. Phoenicians traded with Java long before the time of Christ. They probably took Egyptians to Geraldton, Western Australia (where a bronze plate bearing Egyptians hieroglyphics was unearthed in 1962) and introduced the mummification rites to Torres Strait islanders. Arnhem Land aborigines believe the soul journeys across the sun's path, in a boat, after death.

Considerable time must have been spent hereabouts by these ancient navigators, time in which to instill their Osirian religious teachings upon aboriginal theology.
They left hieroglyphics Armhem Land, Chillagoe and Ipswich. Crates of Mallus, in Asia Minor, constructed a world globe in 150 B.C.; he must have used the latest
maritime information and logic available. Upon his globe he depicted Europe-Asia as Oceumene, North America as Perioeic and South America as Antipodes. A
vague southern continent, now Australia, he named Antoreici.

Egyptians may have sailed up the Hawkesbury River, venturing southward along the Napean River to Lapstone. In 1969, railway workmen were digging electricity post holes in thick scrub country two miles inland above a gorge, when, two feet down, one man unearthed a rust-encrusted object. This was later identified as an Egyptian axe blade at least two thousand years old and is now preserved in the Mount York Natural History Museum at Mount Victoria. Perhaps the axe had been left by crewmen who sailed on the Hawkesbury? Standing out on a Napean rockface a "Bird" hieroglyph remains - mute testament to Biblical explorers, brave men who challenged the seas and gave Australia its future.

A leading epidemiologist in the battle against AIDS, said the HIV infection risk in the country had been underestimated. Dr Julian Gold, director of the Albion
Clinic in Sydney, said there was little real evidence that the rate of infection was being contained.

Teachers at Beenleigh High School (Queensland) were afraid of the increasing playground violence. A group of violent and aggressive students from years 8 to 12 were wrecking havoc at the school. Many teachers had not reported incidents of violence because they feared victimization from students and also from the Education Department. A statement said:

Explicit sex education courses should be taught in the first three years of primary school, according to new research on AIDS awareness presented to education
authorities in all states of Australia. A study commissioned by a think-tank at the University of Queensland, recommended that children learn the "fundamentals of sexual knowledge" before they are ten years old.

In Australia, the Health Service Minister said recently that overconsumption was the nation's biggest major diet risk. Bad eating habits cost Australia billions of dollars each year in preventable medical expenditure. In 1989, 100,055 potential years of life were lost due to diet related problems.

Australian National University researchers plan to give heroin to about six hundred drug addicts in a trial so they can examine the effectiveness of making illicit drugs available under certain controls.

CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE: NEW ZEALAND DEVASTATED BY WORST NATURAL DISASTER IN HISTORY

New Zealand suffered its worst natural disaster for 80 years when a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the cathedral city of Christchurch.

In the most potent symbol of what the country's prime minister, John Key, described as his nation's "darkest day", the spire on the city's Anglican cathedral was sent crashing down to earth shortly after the quake hit at 12.51 pm.

Tourists and shoppers that were thronging the cobbled streets below fled for their lives as New Zealand's most quintessentially English city was blanketed in a shroud of dust, death and destruction.

"When the shaking had stopped 1 looked out of the window, which gives a great view on to Christchurch, and there was just dust," said Barry Corbett, a city councillor, "It was evident straight away that a lot of buildings had gone." "We watched the cathedral collapse out our window while we were holding onto the walls," added Gary Moore, an office worker in an adjacent building who was left trapped when the staircase collapsed. "Every aftershock sends us rushing under the desks."

The city of 390,000 - the gateway to the natural beauties of New Zealand's South Island - then reeled under the impact of two further aftershocks which sent more, already-weakened buildings crashing down to earth.

The US Geological Survey said the epicenter had occurred only three miles from the city centre, at a depth of 2.5 miles beneath the earth's surface.

Scientists said the proximity and shallowness of the quake accounted for its huge destructive force. As emergency services were mobilised - including the entire medical staff of New Zealand's armed forces; the city was still recovering from the battering inflicted by a larger, 7.1 magnitude earthquake last September that damaged up to 100,000 buildings but failing to cause any fatalities, something
that was described as a "miracle" at the time. But there was no miracle this time. New Zealand, led by their prime minister, was left to absorb the human cost of its worst natural disaster since 1931 when 256 people were killed by a quake in the North Island city of Napier.

"We may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day." Mr. Key said in a television interview, "It's hard to describe. What was a vibrant city a few hours ago has been brought to its knees." The Queen said she was "utterly shocked" by the news. "Please convey my deep sympathy to the families and friends of those who have been killed," she wrote in a message to Mr. Key, "my thoughts are with all those who have been affected by this dreadful event." As columns of smoke rose above the city, rescue forces used helicopters to pluck stranded survivors from the rooftops of cracked and collapsed buildings, while others were picked from burning balconies by firefighters using a nearby construction crane. Those lucky enough to escape were dragged out of buildings on makeshift stretchers fashioned from rugs or bits of debris, many clutching bleeding wounds, before being loaded into private vehicles to be ferried to hospital. Rescue efforts were impeded as streets across the city, which is built sand and silt foundations, were flooded by a thick sludge which a resident said reached a foot deep in places.

William Hague, the foreign secretary, said he was "shocked and saddened" to hear of the earthquake, offering assistance to British tourists stranded by the disaster. "The ties that bind the UK with New Zealand are very close".

Christchurch, the country's second biggest city, was devastated by major earthquakes in September 2010 and again in February this year, and continues to be rocked by strong aftershocks which are causing more damage.

About 10,000 houses in an orange zone need further investigation, while a further 100,000 in a green zone can be rebuilt. Properties yet to be assessed comprise a white zone.

The worst-hit suburbs are all in low-lying eastern areas of the city that suffered liquefaction, a process in which the ground turns to liquid during the shaking and leaves a quagmire of sludge.

As beleaguered residents, frustrated by months of waiting for the announcement, pored over online maps to see which zone their street was in, Mr. Key pledged: "The government remains fully committed to rebuilding Christchurch."

The cost of rebuilding Christchurch has been estimated at NZ$ 15 billion [£7.6 billion) or more.

Mr. Key stressed how significant the earthquakes had been to New Zealand's tiny economy, saying the cost was equivalent to 8 per cent of GDP. Damage from the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan was just over 2 per cent of Japan's GDP, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 cost about 1 per cent of US GDP, and March's Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster was an estimated 3-5 per cent of Japan's GDP."

Residents of Christchurch already seriously frazzled by two major earthquakes and 6,000 aftershocks since September 2010, awoke to the news that the region's GNS Science had set the chances of another quake in the next year at 1 in 4. Speclflcally, the organization had put the likelihood of a magnitude-6.0 or -7.0 earthquake over the next 12 months at 23 percent, with a 90 chance of a shake between 5.0 and 6.0.

These predictions had native Cantabrians reaching for their telephones and thus Mayor Bob Parker for his laptop, While not wanting to take anything away from these figures, Mr. Parker responded to concerns soothingly. It was important to note that the warning related to the entire region in which the city of Christchurch, home to around 400,000 Kiwis, is a relatively small part. The probability of any such quake again hitting the city was therefore 11 significantly lower."

Early, however, those probabilities were shown to be significantly higher, with both categories of tremors striking within a 90-minute period: first a nasty magnitude-5.5 jolt, with a genuinely unpleasant 6.0 encore at 2:20 p.m.

Their combined seismic weight took down at least another 50 buildings in the immediate city and caused much liquefaction to bubble up again on the eastern side of what used to be known as New Zealand's Garden City.

The aftershocks that rocked Christchurch quashed rebuilding hopes New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said, this week's tremors have hit the same parts of the city that were devastated by the February 22 earthquakes. He hinted that parts of the city may have to be permanently abandoned.

Severe tremors are common in geologically young New Zealand, a land sometimes referred to as "the shaky isles" for its prime position on the Pacific Rim's "Ring of Fire" - a series of seismically active fault zones. But the duration of the recent activity, which began in September 2010, is unprecedented in the country's 171-year history. While speaking on one of many national television appearances, Mayor Bob Parker vowed that the effort would continue.

Meanwhile, however, many of the messages on the same network's website seemed to suggest others were taking a gloomier view. Even the prospect of a mini-boom in building work would probably not convince construction workers to stick around, says Chris Rogers, a labourer. The urban centre he once called home "is starting to feel a bit like being on death row," he says. 50,000 have already relocated to Australia and other parts of New Zealand.

Seasonal flooding across eastern Australiahas been widespread and devastating inspring 2011- their wettest on record. Cyclone Tasha came along and dumped even more water on Queensland. Hundreds of thousands of people in an area the size of France and Germany combined were affected, and at least nine people were reported killed.

Authorities worked to evacuate some communities and airlift supplies to others as the water level continued rising over two days and 38 regions were declared natural disaster areas.

A massive deluge overwhelmed Toowoomba, a city west of the state capital Brisbane, without warning and sandbags have been given out to residents of Brisbane. State Premier Anna Bligh called the flash floods Queensland's" darkest hour" since the flood crisis began.

"The event that started in Toowoomba can only be described as a complete freak of nature, an extraordinary deluge that almost came out of nowhere," the Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted Ms Bligh as saying. "What we have here in Queensland tonight is a very grim and desperate situation."

Helicopters joined the rescue operation to reach those trapped in cars and on the roofs of buildings.

Toowomba resident Charlie Green told the BBC he was stranded by the floods. "It would be ironic if it wasn't so tragic,"he said. "Toowoornba sits in the cradle of an extinct volcano about 2,000 feet above sea level, and we have just endured 10 years of drought, unable even to wash our cars with town water for the last several years. We are going to sit tight until we're sure that it's safe to move around. The flooded creeks are within a mile of our house so we can't get anywhere. We can't even get down the hill. We'll be stocking up on supplies from local shops."

Toowoornba's mayor described the scale of the floods as "unbelievable" and said the city was in shock. Mayor Peter Taylor said: "It's a real disaster scene where I'm standing at the moment in Russell Street, Toowoomba. There's furniture and furnishings and it's just blown shops away.

"We have a railway line about 230ft suspended in mid-air and two cars that are virtually unrecognisable that have floated and smashed into the rail."

Queensland Deputy Police Commissioner lan Stewart said there had been many calls from people needing to be rescued and that emergency crews were struggling to cope. We've had multiple calls requesting urgent assistance from people caught in vehicles, caught on the street, caught in flood ways," he said. "It is an evolving and obviously quite desperate situation for them," he said. "There has been no warning of this event."

This is some of the most violent and frightening flooding that Queensland has yet witnessed, says the BBC s correspondent in Australia, Nick Bryant. One eyewitness said vehicles were being swept down streets.

Heavy rain has lashed the region for the last 36 hours, with 6 inches falling in just one hour. Most of the rainwater hit an already saturated catchment. The enduring floods in Queensland have washed away roads and railways, destroyed crops and brought the coal industry to a near standstill.

The state premier has estimated that the price of rebuilding homes, businesses and infrastructure, coupled with economic losses, could exceed A$5bn (£3bn).

The 2010-2011 floods killed 35 people in Queensland. As of 26 January, an additional nine people were missing. The Queensland floods were followed by the 2011 Victorian floods which saw more than fifty communities in western and central Victoria also grapple with significant flooding.

Queensland Treasurer Andrew Fraser said it was not possible to put a figure on the damage; "other than to say the damage bill is going to start with a b and not an m". The floods will cost the Australian economy at least A$10 billion.

In figures released at the end of January 2011, the Insurance Council of Australia calculated that 38,460 individual claims were lodged with insurers which were worth A$1.5 1 billion. The price of food across Australia will go up. The floods will cost supermarket chains tens of millions of dollars. Some communities isolated by floodwaters experienced food shortages, and a rise in the cost of fruits and vegetables was reported shortly after. Food supplies to northern Queensland were disrupted requiring groceries to be transported to Townsville by ship.

About 15% of Queensland's annual output of coal production was lost and by late March 2011 recovery was progressing slowly. Four months after the floods the Dalryrnple Bay coal terminal was operating at half its capacity as the open-cut mines in the region continued to deal with de-watering issues.

Thousands of litres of milk had to be dumped because it couldn't be transported for processing. The persistent wet conditions also caused health problems for livestock. There was severe damage to roadways in forestry plantations across wide areas of the south of Queensland.

Prime Minister [ulia Gillard announced that the government would impose a Flood levy on people across Australia, to fund reconstruction works.

Queensland was reeling from the worst natural disaster in its history and possibly in the history of Australia. One official said, "we've seen three-quarters of our state having experienced the devastation of raging floodwaters and we now face a reconstruction task of post war proportions."

Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for the progress made, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.

So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens to their country, and respectable members of society.
John Quincy Adams

Yes, I thought I knew my Bible
Reading piecemeal, hit or miss
Now a part of John or Matthew
Then a bit of Genesis

Certain chapters of Isaiah
Certain Psalms, the twenty-third
First of Proverbs, twelfth of Romans
Yes, I thought I knew the Word

But I found that thorough reading
Was a different thing to do
And the way was unfamiliar
When I read the Bible through

You who like to play at Bible
Dip and dabble here and there
Just before you kneel all weary
Yawning through a hurried prayer

You who treat this crown of writings
As you treat no other book
Just a paragraph disjointed
Just a crude impatient look

Try a worthier procedure
Try a broad and steady view
You will kneel in awesome wonder
When you read the Bible through.

Make a conscious effort to study the Bible. Some folks think that there is some sort of mystical power in the Book, in that, if they open it and just glance over its words, they will receive some kind of magical revelation. However, the Bible is Truth, and to receive Truth demands more than a casual glance. Its pages must be read and re-read and even read again before God reveals himself to those who seek after Truth. The Psalmist tells us that blessing is for those who meditate day and night.
