  • The Bounty's Bible
    v Word Up! | Lesson 3 | April 20, 2013 The Bounty ’s Bible Sabbath Afternoon | Today’s Reading 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 (New International Version ) “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Hebrews 4:12 (Contemporary English Version ) “What God has said isn't only alive and active! It is sharper than any double edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.” Child Guidance , p. 506 “The truths of the Bible, received, will uplift the mind from its earthliness and debasement. If the Word of God were appreciated as it should be, both young and old would possess an inward rectitude, strength of principle that would enable them to resist temptation.” Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing , pp. 18, 19 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6 . “Righteousness is holiness, likeness to God, and ‘God is love.’ 1 John 4:16. It is conformity to the law of God, for ‘all Thy commandments are righteousness’ (Psalm 119:172), and ‘love is the fulfilling of the law’ (Romans 13:10). Righteousness is love, and love is the light and the life of God. The righteousness of God is embodied in Christ. We receive righteousness by receiving Him. “Not by painful struggles or wearisome toil, not by gift or sacrifice, is righteousness obtained; but it is freely given to every soul who hungers and thirsts to receive it.

  • Bounty Bible Made by the Island Council on the 30 November 2011 ______
    GPI 028 Pitcairn Island Bounty Bible made by the Island Council on the 30 November 2011 ________ _________________________________________________________ ______ Background: Among all the books that arrived on Pitcairn onboard the Bounty in 1790 was the Bounty Bible . The Bounty Bible, donated by John Adams to a passing ship’s captain, was said to have been used by Mr Adams to teach the young ones, ended up in the archives of the Connecticut Historical Society. A century later a correspond ent with the late Roy Clark, managed to track down the Bounty Bible in 1945. A. W Moverley, school teacher to Pitcairn, wrote to the Society in 1948 and requested that the Bounty Bible be returned to Pitcairn. The Bible was consequently repaired and rebound in London then packed and sent first to Fiji where a wooden case was made for it with a glass top . I n February 1950 the Bible and the box was presented to the people of Pitcairn. The glass covered case, today, contains the Bible itself, a facsimile of William and Elizabeth Bligh’s marriage certificate, the standard flag used on the Pastor’s car during Prince Philip’s visit in 1971 and a New Testament in very small print donated to the church. In the drawer unde rneath the case are photos of the Bible before and after being rebound, some fragments of the old binding, and many letters written by the Hayden family relating to the Bounty Bible plus some newspaper clippings. The case containing all of the above was kept in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church but was moved to the museum in 2006.

Mag. art. Angestrebter akademischer Titel: Bakk.art TransArts – Transdisziplinäre Kunst Institut für Bildende und Mediale Kunst Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien Sommersemester 2018 Pitcairn vehicle registration system The Pitcairn Islands, or officially: Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands are a loosely ​ ​ ​ ​ grouped handful of tiny islands (of which only the main island is inhabited) scattered across several hundred miles of ocean in the remote South Pacific that form the last remaining British territory in Oceania. The rugged Pitcairn Island is farther from any continent than any other inhabited island in the world. The far-flung island was settled on January 15 in 1790 by the infamous mutineers of the HMS Bounty and their Polynesian companions, even today nearly all ​ ​ of the islanders are their descendants. With its mere four dozen current permanent inhabitants, Pitcairn is today the smallest nation in the world.1 The story of this unique society goes back more than two centuries. At the end of 1787, His Majesty’s Armed Vessel Bounty set sail from England under the command of Captain ​ ​ William Bligh (a decade earlier, Bligh had been appointed sailing master on HM Resolution ​ serving under Captain James Cook on his final Pacific voyage, during which Cook was killed). The Bounty’s destination was Tahiti and the mission was to obtain hundreds of saplings of the breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis) [Tahitian: ‘uru] and to transfer these safely to the West Indies, ​ ​ where they would be planted to be a source of cheap, fast-growing food for the African slave labour force used on plantations of British colonies in the Caribbean.

Pitcairn Islands Tourism is pleased to present our NEW 8-day small group Total Solar Eclipse Voyage to Oeno and Pitcairn Island. On Tuesday, July 2nd, 2019, a total solar eclipse will take place in Earth’s southern hemisphere. The eclipse will occur almost entirely over the Southern Pacific Ocean, but it will make landfall at Pitcairn's Oeno Island. As Oeno lies in the "Path to Totality" of the 2019 solar eclipse, this unique tour will offer you the Pitcairn chance of a lifetime to view this historic event as Island well as visit Pitcairn Island, the most remote Group inhabited island on earth with a population of less than 50 residents--many of whom are direct descendants of the HMAV Bounty Mutineers and their Polynesian consorts. Oeno Island will be arguably the most favorable place in the world to observe the 2019 Total Solar Eclipse where the duration of totality will be 2m 48s and the altitude of the sun above the horizon will be 32 degrees. 2019 PITCAIRN ISLANDS 8-DAY SOLAR ECLIPSE VOYAGE About the Pitcairn Islands Group The Pitcairn Islands Group forms the UK’s only Overseas Territory in the vast Pacific Ocean.
