V “The ostriches’ wings flap joyously with the pinion and plumage of love, for she abandons her eggs to the earth and warms them in the dust, and she forgets that a foot may crush them, or that a wild beast may trample them” (Job 39:13-15, NASB). The Arabian ostrich used to be very common in the Middle East. Due to overhunting and the lack of habitat, this subspecies of ostrich became extinct around 1966. At times, Bible translators have found it difficult to translate words for animals and birds into English, but the ostrich appears to fit the description in Job 39:13-18, as the female bird lays her eggs in a simple pit in the dust of the ground. This pit is communal, being shared by a number of birds. Cover picture: Arabian ostrich, Jim Willey.

Testimony, March 2020 Contents 81 Inspired history “While it might be conceded that prediction is beyond human power, the contention has been confidently put forward that inspiration is not necessary for writing accurate history. In view of the doubts that exist concerning the accuracy of human historical records even this might be ques- tioned; but it must be boldly denied when we examine the history written in the Bible. We are told that ‘God saw the wickedness of men’ (Gen. 6:6); that God ‘saw the affliction of His people’ (Ex. 3:7); that God ‘multiplied’ the numbers of Israel (Deut. 1:10); that God ‘delivered’ their enemies into their hands (Josh. 10:8); at the division of the kingdom the Chronicles declare that certain actions were done ‘for the cause was of God’ (2 Chron. 10:15). These are typical phrases chosen at random, but it is clear that Bible history is written from God’s point of view. If the words quoted were the recorded utterances of men’s opinions they might be merely an accurate record of men’s thoughts: but the language employed throughout the record of the events expresses a statement of fact. Either the view is the subjective opinion of the writer and so only pious thinking, or the history is of divine origin, for only if God guided the writers could such statements be accurate. There is no middle ground.” John Carter, “Inspiration (2)—the effect of inspiration,” Our Sure Foundation (The Christadelphian, 2016), pp. 73–4 6:9,10 warns that such relationships will ex- is the work of the Holy Spirit if this definition clude us from God’s Kingdom, if they are not of inspiration is valid?

  • Weapons of Our Warfare
    Weapons Warfare Printed by EUREKA PRESS PTY. LTD. SOUTH AUSTRALIA for LOGOS PUBLICATIONS 632 Burbridge Road, West Beach 5024 South Australia September, 1989 Foreword This volume is designed as a means of encouragement in facing the difficulties of life. We are engaged upon a great combat, and need to seek the companionship of those of similar mind. Such help can be found in the various extracts from the writings of valiant war- riors of the past, both brethren and sisters, who have laboured on the field of battle for the things they believed. Paul instructed the Corinthians: "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of stron- gholds: casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exal- teth itself against God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:4-5). He shows that there is not only a need to "rightly divide the Word of Truth" but to recognise the power of the enemy, felt in the natural mind. As a mighty war- rior, the apostle felt the unrelenting contest: "I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members" (Rom. 7:22-23). It was an engagement that continued to the last moment, when he said: "I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course" (2 Tim. 4:7). But that same warfare must be undertaken by those who would honour the Truth.

  • Babylon (626 - 539 B.C.)
    Chapter 5 Babylon (626 - 539 B.C.) Of all the civiliza- tions that shaped the con- text of biblical history, it may be that Babylon repre- sents the most important , both from a historical, and also from a symbolic standpoint. Babylon not only played a ma- jor role in much of the Old Tes- tament historical and prophetic events, but it also stood for the power of an idolatrous Gentile world. Beginning with the Tower of Babel, the forces of pagan might found their expres- sion in Babylon. It is no acci- dent that the entire Bible culmi- nates in a vision of a great “Babylon” that finally came un- der the judgment of God. Our previous discus- sions have covered the general history of Babylon up to the pe- riod often called the Neo- Babylonian Empire (626 - 539). The history began with Sumer and Akkad, after which the great empire of Hammurabi dominated until it fell to the Hittites in 1595. The Kassite period (1580 - 1180), and the Courtesy: Josep Renalias era in which Babylon came un- der the domination of Assyria (900 - 612), were discussed in the chapter on Assyria. Here we will restrict our attention to that time in which Babylon reached the pinnacle of its power, picking up the story with Nabopolassar, the founder of the dynasty that dominated this remarkable period. Ch. 5 HISTORICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF THE BIBLE 5-2 Nabopolassar (626 - 605) : Things had remained fairly quiet in Babylon since the problems involving Mero- dach-Baladan had been put down in about 700, with the exception of the minor skir- mish related to Shamash- shum-ukin’s rebellion against his brother Ashurbanipal in 653.

  • On Dating the Lunar Eclipse of Alexander and the Battle of Gaugamela: Discussion of Evidence and Use of Archaeoastronomy for Chronology
    On Dating the Lunar Eclipse of Alexander and the Battle of Gaugamela: Discussion of Evidence and Use of Archaeoastronomy for Chronology Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino Here we propose an archaeoastronomical discussion of evidence concerning the dating of the Battle of Gaugamela. This battle was preceded by a total lunar eclipse, which is also known as the eclipse of Alexander, used to date the decisive battle of the invasion of the Persian Achaemenid Empire. This eclipse is one of the many used for chronology. Keywords: Chronology, Archaeoastronomy, History of Science, Joseph Scaliger, David Brewster, Pliny the Elder, Software, CalSKY, Stellarium. Written in Turin, 30 June 2019. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3263733 Let us imagine that we had a DeLorean time machine (the time travel vehicle featured in the movies Back to the Future), and that, by means of it, we could observe some events in the past. After we have decided the event to study, what is the “destination time”, month, day, year, hour, minute, that we have to set into the time circuits of the DeLorean? Of many of the events of the past we do not know a specific date. Historical sources are lacking, and, even in the case that a date is reported, it could be questionable. In any case, if we are in the lucky position of possessing the date, we have to convert it into the numbers required by the time machine. The time circuits of the DeLorean are using a calendar with years limited to four digits and negative years are not allowed, so that the DeLorean can travel to any time from 1 January 1 AD to 31 December 9999 AD.

As another Christmas approaches we can celebrate, if only in our hearts, the birth of our Saviour. It may not be the exact date of His birth but I do not think that matters. The fact that the great event is commemorated from one end of the earth to the other is surely significant. So just as we derive pleasure from greeting our friends and family on their birthdays, we can take immense delight in remembering Jesus and His birth at this time of the year and as always we can be truly thankful for what He did for us even before He knew us. It is no exaggeration to say that Jesus gave up everything for us. A home, family, safety, comfort and security, the possibility of a wife and children and a life of three score and ten years. He was a man with normal hopes and desires and no doubt as He saw His friends and family enjoying some or all of these usual human blessings, He must have wished they could be possible for Him also.

  • Alexander the Great
    The ten-horned beast: Alexander the Great home : index : ancient Persia : ancient Greece : Alexander : article by Jona Lendering Alexander the Great Alexander the Great (*356; r. 336-323): the Macedonian king who defeated his Persian colleague Darius III Codomannus and conquered the Achaemenid Empire. There is much to be said about Alexander's career; this website offers a biography in eighteen parts and more than seventy translated sources. On this page, you can find a brief first introduction. Alexander's father Philip had been king of Macedonia and had changed this backward kingdom in a strong state with a powerful army. In order to achieve this aim, he had embarked on an expansionist policy: every year, he waged war, and the Macedonian aristocrats benefited. To keep his monarchy intact, Philip had to continue his conquests; if he stopped, the noblemen would start to ask questions. Alexander, bust from Delos (Louvre) At the end of his life, Philip had contemplated a war against the nearby Persian empire, which was weakened after the death of king Artaxerxes III Ochus, but Philip had been murdered before he could leave (336). With help of two powerful courtiers, Antipater and Parmenion, Alexander succeeded his father and inherited the Persian war. He needed the first year of his reign to organize his kingdom, and left Antipater as his viceroy. In the spring of 334, Alexander and Parmenion crossed the Hellespont and attacked the local Persian army, which was defeated near the river Granicus in the northwest of what is now called Turkey. After their first victory, the Macedonians went to the south, where the Persian bulwark Sardes surrendered and the Macedonians could occupy Greek cities like Ephesus, Priene, and Miletus.

    Babylonian Empire 9/13/11 3:47 PM home : index : ancient Mesopotamia : article by Jona Lendering © Babylonian Empire The Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world after the fall of the Assyrian empire (612 BCE). Its capital Babylon was beautifully adorned by king Nebuchadnezzar, who erected several famous buildings. Even after the Babylonian Empire had been overthrown by the Persian king Cyrus the Great (539), the city itself remained an important cultural center.

One of these was the nation of the Amorites ("westerners"), which took over Isin, Larsa, and Babylon. Their kings are known as the First Dynasty of Babylon (1894-1595?). The area was reunited by Hammurabi, a king of Babylon of Amorite descent (1792-1750?). From his reign on, the alluvial plain of southern Iraq was called, with a deliberate archaism, Mât Akkadî, "the country of Akkad", after the city that had united the region centuries before.

  • Cyrus the Great, Exiles and Foreign Gods a Comparison of Assyrian and Persian Policies on Subject Nations1
    Cyrus the Great, Exiles and Foreign Gods A Comparison of Assyrian and Persian Policies on Subject Nations1 To be published in: Wouter Henkelman, Charles Jones, Michael Kozuh and Christopher Woods (eds.), Extraction and Control: Studies in Honor of Matthew W. Stolper. Oriental Institute Publications. Chicago: Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. R.J. van der Spek VU University Amsterdam Introduction Cyrus, king of Persia (559-530 BC), conqueror of Babylon (539), has a good reputation, also among modern historians. Most textbooks, monographs, and articles on ancient history stress his tolerance towards the countries and nations he subdued. It is mentioned time and again that he allowed them freedom of religion, that he behaved respectfully towards Babylon and its temple cults, and that he reinstated several cults, especially that of the god of Israel in Jerusalem. This policy is often contrasted with that of the Assyrian kings, who are presented as cruel rulers, oppressing subdued nations, destroying sanctuaries, deporting gods and people, and forcing their subjects to worship Assyrian gods. Cyrus’ acts supposedly inaugurated a new policy, aimed at winning the subject nations for the Persian Empire by tolerance and clemency. It was exceptional that Cambyses and Xerxes abandoned this policy in Egypt and Babylonia. In the prestigious Cambridge Ancient History volume on Persia, T. Cuyler Young maintains that Cyrus’ policy “was one of remarkable tolerance based on a respect for individual people, ethnic groups, other religions and ancient kingdoms.” 2 1 This contribution is an update of my article “Cyrus de Pers in Assyrisch perspectief: Een vergelijking tussen de Assyrische en Perzische politiek ten opzichte van onderworpen volken,” Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis 96 (1983): 1-27 (in Dutch, for a general audience of historians).

Criticism of an exposition of the scriptures is not wrong in itself. If it wai% the Truth would never have been born in the latter days, criticism should, however, be logically valid, objective, contractive and above all, following the principles of sound Biblical study and research.
