Ensign Project: Isaac's Beacons משואות יצחק אכסניה

Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: (Psa 146:5)

We may wonder if our public witness regarding prophecy has any effect. An analysis of history shows it is significant. There is a direct connection between the light of the truth and Britain’s role in the Balfour declaration which hinges on attitudes in Manchester, Leeds & Birmingham.

The place name ‘Isaac’s Beacons’ reminds us that every year Jews keep a festival of light, from an era of darkness when there was no open vision. The word Hanukka is from the word חנך “to dedicate”.

The phrase ‘good work’ occurs 12 times in the Bible. Only two are a commendation of an individual and both refer to Mary’s costly gift.

Nicolas Winton put his life in danger and worked hard to rescue Jewish children because, “It seemed to be needed and I was in a position to do it, so I did it.”

When we speak of our trust in the prophecy of the Bible, we have as evidence from history that shows a literal and detailed fulfilment.

When speaking of the walls of Tyre, we were told,

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. (Ezekiel 26:4)

This fate may be verified.

Then too for over 100 years despite two world wars and the dramatic creation of the ‘Iron Curtain’ wall we maintained that Europe must unite. It is curious that Europe uniting was most unlikely from 1961 as a physical barrier was built in Berlin, which was improved and further fortified until 1980. Even the day before the dramatic fall of the wall, no-one could have predicted the race to European unity that has occurred since.

This is a one and half minute video about another wall. Like the Berlin wall this wall also is a flashpoint for world war.

After years of lectures on Ezekiel 38, speaking of Israel at the time of the latter days before Messiah’s coming dwelling without walls, bars and gates, instead of peace as we expected, and which might have been achieved at a few points, we see what seems the opposite. Until we think about it. Most of the world sees only physical reality, we see with the eye of faith. How could Ezekiel have so confidently written of walls, bars and gates being associated specifically with Israel’s mountains? It was only after 1994 that we could see what he was talking about, and why Gog was so amazed about them being removed that he comments on it as a reason for his actions!

There are layers of Design in the events of nations. One in particular may be of interest to us. Please see Oliphant_ChristadelphiansAmit

There was a curious conjunction of two witnesses, which even to this day puzzles people which crystalised in a popular novel!

If there is only one witness, who may believe? If there is two who are reliable then a matter may be established. Zechariah saw two olive trees, to stand by the Lord in all the earth. For 2,000 years two persecuted minorities have carried with them the Word of God containing the Promises, and held it precious, and both have been sent to every nation on earth.

The committee were discussing yesterday evening the amazing stuxnet ‘worm’ which affected Iran’s nuclear program, which is estimated to have begun to work in June 2010. Then we noticed it was in our readings for the day of June 17, and we wondered if there was a connection.

Doors may open and opportunities may present themselves, but of great value are the small actions and communications.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Hebrews 13:16)

The committee of this project was given two communications of great value on one day. A sister wrote to us, “This must be exciting, and I wish you and the committee encouragement and success as you “rise up and build”.”

A brother though told as yet we had not the target level of support to begin, would take no refusal for a donation he gave to us, saying that he donated for those who might not give, and the flyer was asking so little. If there are only 10,000 such it could be begun tomorrow!
