  • The Hieros Gamos Part 2: the Song and the Wisdom
    193 -+Lovers in the Lilacs - Chagall (Chagall) The Hieros Gamos Part 2: The Song and the Wisdom Blood Roses: The Canticle of Canticles Rabbi Akiva, who anointed Bar Cochba as warrior messiah a century after Jesus, had this to say in espousing the Song of Songs into the Jewish canon: “The whole world is not worth the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel for all the writings are holy but the Song of Songs is the holiest of the holy”. Now this is a truth and the Song of Songs is our salvation and the redemption of the Earth and the principle of the Song of Songs is the reunion and recognition between the two genders and each - Solomon giving the Queen of Sheba all that she desired is the key to Wisdom. The Wisdom of Solomon is what gave him the six hundred and sixty six talents and six hundred and sixty six, ‘here is Wisdom’ is Homo sapiens. Sapiens is Wisdom. The mark of the beast Homo is sapiens, Sophia or Hockmah - Wisdom (p 666). The sacred marriage is not simply worshipping the female in an epoch of domin- ion, but it is the relationship of reconciliation between the two sexes and between humanity and nature. And light and darkness are represented in the sacred mar- riage. “I am black but comely O ye daughters of Jerusalem” The Queen of Sheba is the Shulamite, she's the darkened one of the enclosed garden. She also represents the repressed feminine principle. In Luke and Matthew it says “The Queen of the South shall return and judge the men of this generation” and that is the sacred mar- 194 riage principle returning and it is the feminine principal returning and what apoca- lypsia means - the term ‘apocalypse’ is an unveiling and it is traditionally the unveiling of the bride - in the feminine gender in Greek.

  • The Throne of David and the Return of Christ Colonel John Durrant
    The Throne of David and the Return of Christ Colonel John Durrant Published by REVIVAL CENTRES OF AUSTRALIA (1988) Preface to the original Web Edition (2006) This book, by the late Colonel John Durrant, was originally published in 1988, and reflects the understanding of prophetic fulfilment as at that time. Some light editing has been undertaken. Some references to nations and events are now necessarily somewhat dated, although, of course, the prophecies must continue to hold. The book is presented here, little changed from 1988, as a useful guide for those interested in these fascinating and important subjects. The book traces historical links to establish an argument that the throne of King David in ancient Israel has not been lost. It provides prophetic material on the Return of Jesus Christ, and most importantly, how we can be personally ready for this great event. Copyright, Revival Centres International, 1988 - 2011.

  • The Work of the Chronicler
    THE WORK OF THE CHRONICLER ITS PURPOSE A.ND ITS DATE BY ADAM C. WELCH, D.D. Emeritus Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature New College, Edinburgh THE SCHWEICH LECTURES OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY 1938 LONDON PUBLISHED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY BY HUMPHREY MILFORD, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMEN HOUSE, E.C. 1939 PREFACE HE author acknowledges the honourwhich theSchweich T Trustees have conferred upon him by inviting him to become their lecturer. He acknowledges even more warmly the opportunity they have put within his reach ofpublishing a study on a somewhat neglected book, which, without their help, would never have seen the light. The chance to con­ tribute something to the elucidation of a literature to which most of his working life has been devoted is more to the writer than any personal honour, high and highly valued though that is. The lectures have been entirely recast in their new form. The time at the lecturer's disposal as well as the character of the audience made it necessary to present in the lectures no more than the author's results. In the present volume he has offered in full the evidence on which those results are based. Without the evidence the results would have been negligible to his fellow students. It only remains to add that, after the Introduction, the symbols C and K are generally used for the Chronicler and for the author of Kings respectively; and that the Biblical references follow the numbering which appears in the Hebrew text.

  • MIKETZ (At the End Of) Two Full Years
    MIKETZ (at the end of) two full years Joseph Interpreting Pharaoh's Dream, 1893-4 by Reginald Arthur Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years that Pharaoh dreamed: and he stood by the river. C-MATS Question: What was “the river”? Egypt depends on The Nile for their prosperity and was worshipped as their god. (Chumash) Even today Egypt with its rapidly growing population of 65 million people is almost totally dependent on the Nile. Population growth in Egypt is expected to outstrip the water resources of the Nile early in the 21st century. This problem will be greatly complicated by population and economic growth in the upstream nations of Sudan, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. Question: When did Pharaoh dream? In those days, after the death of Isaac, (commanded and caused a famine upon the whole earth. (Jasher יהוה 2 And there came up out of the river seven fine looking fat cows and they fed in a meadow. 3 And seven other ugly and lean cows came up after them out of the river and את stood by the other cows upon the bank of the river. 4 And the ugly and thin fleshed seven cows did eat up the seven well favored and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. 5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and seven plump and good ears of corn came up upon one stalk, 6 And seven thin ears blasted by the east wind sprung up after seven ears devoured the seven plump full ears.

  • A Sermon Preached in the Chapel ALL SOULS COLLEGE Wolfgang
    A Sermon Preached in the Chapel of ALL SOULS COLLEGE by Wolfgang Ernst on Sunday, 3 November 2019 ‘When mankind sees a good thing, it will have it and keep it’ (T R Glover). This is certainly true of the legend of Solomon’s judgement. Tales which have the same core plot as 1 Kings 3:16-28 abound. A variant, with King David and Solomon as the leading characters, circulated in the Arab world. While that story was not worked into the Qumran, it was preserved in the 10th century Arab book of songs, the Kitab al-Aghani, and remained part of the poetic lore. In a story absorbed into the Indian Jātaka tales, the false mother is a she-devil, and this explains her interest in a child not her own. The future Buddha has a line drawn on the ground and asks both pretenders to take hold of one of the child’s arms; the baby will go to the woman who drags it over the line. The future Buddha consults the audience, who assure him: ‘The hearts of mothers are tender’, allowing him to give preference to the woman who yields. In the 13th ct., the Chinese poet Li Quianfu turned a much older folktale into a verse play entitled ‘The History of the Lime Circle Used by Pao the Governor as a Skilful Stratagem for Discovering the Truth’. The play is praised for its outstanding lyrical beauty. The conflict here is between a ‘woman of pleasure’, whose businessman lover has been overjoyed when she gave birth to his child, and a woman who, after the father’s murder, claims the child in order to secure the accompanying inheritance.

  • Psalms: 126, 132, 119 , 143, 144, 147 Nothing Can Make Them Stumble
    Readings—Week beginning 30th Aug 2021 Aug 30 Ps 126 Prov. 25:1-14 Aug 31 Ps 135 Prov. 25:15-end Sep 1 Ps 119153-end Prov. 26:12-end Sep 2 Ps 143 Prov. 27:1-22 Sep 3 Ps 144 Prov. 30:1-9, 24-31 Sep 4 Ps 147 Prov. 31:10-end A few notes on the readings are at the end. On a Saturday any of the previous Songs of Praise (Canticles ) may be used. Seven times a day I praise you Our Readings this week… … ... for your righteous ordinances. 153-end Great peace have those who love your law; Psalms: 126, 132, 119 , 143, 144, 147 nothing can make them stumble. The great liturgical initiation of worship ‘O Lord, open thou our lips’, with its eager response ‘and our mouth shall proclaim thy praise’ suits well the cluster of five ’hymns’ that conclude the book of Psalms—they all start with the cry to praise the Lord (Hebrew=‘Hallelujah’). Ps147 is the second of these, and in its three stanzas (1-6, 7-11, 12-20), each with its reminder to worship, gives good reasons to praise God, for his character, for what he does, and for who he is for his people. The first stanza reminds us that the God who makes the stars and whose understanding and power is beyond measure, cares for and protects all who are unfortunate. At the heart of the middle stanza is wonderful picture of young nestling ravens crying out—in the midst of the wonder of the creation of the earth the tiniest and most fragile matter to God, and so calls all to put their hope in his steadfast love.
