FORWARD
The SCOPE of the SCOOP: Written large and clear, the vast testimony in scope with much detail adorning it, shows history before it happens. News items such as these from current events, verify in tenor and in ever expanding detail, the word of Almighty God, who in His own way controls all. Responsibility is not removed by His sovereignty, but enhanced; and sin as interpreted by man, is judged by God.
From ancient skies is written this Book, the Bible, that all may see, the scene of the setting sun of this Age now seen as brilliantly described thousands of years in advance.
But overhead with rays of life, is another Son, of righteousness who heals hearts (Malachi 4:2, Matthew 11:25-30, Isaiah 32:17).
Neither puppets nor robots, computers nor mere programs, mankind cavorts to the brink of judgments, exposed in advance in His history; and warned (Ezekiel 18,33; Colossians 1:27ff., Luke 13:1-3), while the love of God is outpoured (Ezekiel 34; 33:11; John 3:16; Titus 2:11-15, 3:4-7, Romans 5:5, Jeremiah 31:19, Matthew 23:37, I Timothy 2:1-7, II Peter 3:9).
God is not mocked, but makes a mockery (Psalm 2!) of the tilting pretensions of man, exposing his ways like a doctor outlining in advance the progress of a disease (Matthew 24:25,33,44).
The option
is also there: an operation requiring repentance with which one enters,
regeneration, a new heart, which one receives, one in which God writes
His laws (Hebrews 8:7-13), opening by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans
3:25-31) the love and providing the power by which each one alone, by faith
based on the objective and living Christ (Hebrews 11:6, I Corinthians 3:11,
II Corinthians 11), revealed in the word of God, in history and in lives,
may become a child of God, and live in His family.

NEWS 26 TWIN.
Let's look at the news item 26, the last of 1997 below, with opened eyes -
BONUS TITLE
The Generation of the Dispossessed...
It will be a happy new year to those who find their possessions in Christ,
from whom comes just identity;
the thrust of a goal abundantly worth-while,
instead of a myriad of ludicrous lusts;
in place of yearning, squirming or pragmatism - truth;
instead
of flimsy philandering, or worse - love.

AUTHORITY
IS NOT EVERYTHING: There is LIFE!
In view of the huge swathe of sentiment, suggestion and congestion on the topic of female elders, lady rulers in the church Jesus Christ ordained, whether in the Anglican, the Presbyterian (1997-1998, Australian Presbyterian Life) or other fields, it may be helpful to review your news with what God says.

RUSSIA
Her prison system may not be in need of another Solzhenitsyn to expose it, for it is now more open.
Yet it appears in some ways almost to resemble the GULAG - too little food, ravishing disease, with TB and AIDS for example, allegedly increasing at a dangerous rate - under-paid Staff - growing population, a dismal and derelict feeling.
With a reported 280,000 held in pre-trial centres, and some 711,000 inmates, outside the juvenile centres, there is plenty to fill and even overcrowd, for the noted 731 penal centres, much a benediction without balm from the maledictions, malevolences and malignities of the Stalin era.

Bin Laden, called a 'renegade' Saudi, of various address including Pakistan, appears interested in offence, offensiveness against the U.S., the Saudi royal family and Israel, according to Time.
In this article, from the hyperlink above, we review this foreground in the presence of the background from Jeremiah chiefly, noting this, that JEREMIAH IS MORE THAN JEREMIAD.
He is more masterful
in dealing in this way, at God's command
with the future
from that distant past time, THEN, than any are ABLE to create it NOW!
This we attest and show from the evidence.
NEWS 39
The week ending October 31, 1998 has been a vigorous one for the Middle East. TV shows have been burdened with the Washington talks on the future of the area.
Hussein of
Jordan has been a peace-broker, Clinton of the U.S., a power-broker, Netanyahu
a merchandiser, ostensibly at least of land for peace. If the peace is
not suitable, where goes the land ? The land, it appears from Arafat, the
peace invader, is quite suitable. What is the
significance
of these developments ?
Friday, Dec.11, 1998 saw The Australian on p. 6 do a little exposé on juvenile crime, in terms of the experience of a prominent judge. Where are children heading in this new form of disease inducement, added to their perils in growing up! It is time to resolve this point.
Queensland's
"top Children's Court judge" criticised deeply the presumption that children
under 14 "did not have the capacity for criminal behaviour". It is in fact
not so long ago in this country that children at 14 were 'fully educated',
well
equipped
for their new work duties, and were given in their final school year, material
aimed at having them not only compos mentis, but responsible and ready
to develop in their fields.
NEWS 41
The Australian Dec.11, 1998,
p. 9.
West Bank Joys are few. Amidst all but endless strife, strife about Oslo agreements, about failure to keep conditions, rules, about riots, about terrorists, about deaths, about grisly disregard of life and impositions on children, desire for peace and prohibition of peace, desire for security and invasion of security, desire for breathing space in the Jewish allotment called Israel, and desire to breath that space on the part of others, we now find amidst the marvellous handshaking and President Clintonesque intonations, a further blatancy.
While Benjamin Netanyahu requires
a "halt to the street violence and a public renunciation by Mr Arafat of
polans to unilaterally declare a Palestinian State, Mr Arafat now enunciates
something rather different: "We will declare a Palestinaian State... with
Jerusalem its capital", to the pacific Fatah movement. Perhaps France will
declare England to be privileged to participate in a French State, with
London the capital. It is at least a variant to find Jerusalem and not
just East Jerusalem in this Jules Verne provincialisation of the land God
gave to the Jews. Peace ? It is simply unavailable while there is war with
God; religion is no more up for grabs than physics, and indeed rather less
so! (see News 40). Meta-religion
is met with and it is in vain to seek to dismantle what God has decreed.
Experiments of this kind litter history; they do little more.
The Advertiser Nov. 30, 1998, p. 12
FREEDOM FOR DICTATES - or
HOW TO LOSE FREEDOM BY TALKING ABOUT
IT
Religion is that little area now being
pawed at, by the lion of political oppression, in the name of freedom.
Common in Communism, it is being newly bred for Australia, for the taste
of the lion. It takes some double-talk to seduce, and this is exposed,
with reference to an Advertiser Editorial, and the Child Rights and
Religious Declarations of the UN.

So it is sex in the service of neo-Christianity ?
Morals of yesterday are those of today, for they all belong to God, come from Christ, the same yesterday, today, forever (Hebrews 13:8), reason itself attesting what revelation commands. Many highly placed are at war with God on this issue; and it is only one of many.

Time Magazine,
Jan. 11, 1999
This time while we look at
the secular reconstruction concept, through manipulation of genes, we will
look in parallel at the theological reconstructionist concepts, which similarly
would act as if to reconstruct history in vain departure from the provisions
and speech of God.
The directions in the first
case are in the DNA, in the second, in the Bible.

The Advertiser, April 1999
The April correspondence of The Advertiser included a reply to one, John Phillipson, who had brought forth material on the nature of AD - BC dates, at the interface, pointing out there was no O B.C., and allied matters.
The reply to this held certain points which were open to question or even fundamentally astray. The topic is worth thought because of the underlying assumptions and what they indicate. It is not really a matter of the correspondents in this case, so much as the points in view.
