MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

It is truly awesome how God has structured the Hebrew language in such a manner which makes it amenable to be sung and put to music.

This quality makes it a useful aid to render it  possible for easy remembrance.

Here are some examples;

In this video they are singing, “He that keepeth Israel shall never slumber or sleep.” It is verse 4 from Psalm 121.

Here they are singing  the words  from Zech 2:10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.”

In this video they are singing  the words from Deut 20.
“1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”

Here is how the Bible describes the very best kinds of music and song. It will be about history, prophecy, salvation and most importantly the attributes of God.

Psalm 98

1 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5 Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

9 Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

THE CITY OF DAVID

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

Fascinating excavations taking place at Jerusalem.  Well worth a visit.

Most of the sites in Jerusalem are nothing but pagan shrines which have been taken over by the Babylonian RCC and the other Apostate so-called churches.

Here is the website of “The City Of David.”

Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

TYPICAL IRA/MI5 LOWLIFE !

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

A typical IRA/MI5 lowlife has claimed he would rather die than become “an informer.”

MHIRABomber

The chances of Michael Hayes being allowed to walk free from the predicament he put himself in, without being forced to become an informer is non-existent.

Hopefully the families of the victims will be able to get the best and most effective legal advice as to how they can obtain some kind of justice.

Proverbs 6:16-19

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

THE GOD HATERS LIFTING UP THEIR HEADS

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

Psalm 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

Note how the Bible is applicable in all ages, the past, the present and the future!

You can see how an all seeing, all knowing and all powerful God has described events in Belfast today long before these events occurred.

The same types of evil people have been present in all societies in all ages but due to the prevailing moral climate in most socities in most of the ages, they have kept their heads down, fearing to bring too much attention upon themselves.

Now we have come to the endtimes, and the prevailng climate favours the God haters in most Western nations, just as the Bible described it aforetime.

PSALM 83 A REFUTATION OF “COINCIDENCE THEORISM”

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

PSALAM 83 

1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.

WHAT DO THE “BODY LANGUAGE EXPERTS” MAKE OF THIS?

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

One of the great things which came about with the advent of the internet, is the easy accessibility of great historic photos/images of every genre.

A huge amount of photos from all era`s of N.Ireland can be seen at many different sources.

I have come  across this one, which instinctively makes me think, it would be a great one for “Body language experts” to study.

Body Language

It is not possible to be exactly precise about the date or the venue but it is obviously from the early 1970s when the UDA must have been at it`s peak.

The picture includes an MP, various other political personalities and a couple of “leading UDA figures,” one of which is Tommy Herron.

When you study the picture however, it is none of these figures which are impressive. The individual who exudes an aura of “power and confidence” is the figure with the beard and sun-glasses.

I wonder who he is?

Some time ago I wrote an article on the subject of “Body language.”

IS THERE REALLY SUCH A THING AS “BODY LANGUAGE?”

The book of proverbs discusses “body language.”

Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

HID

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

Over the past few days I have been reading Matthew`s gospel and was greatly struck by the word “HID” in chapter 11.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

This morning I was presented with a wonderful modern day illustration of the truths presented in this verse.

An item on the Nolan show revealed that creation ministries will be in N.Ireland presenting the Bible truths about creation. The link is below.

‘Prehistoric Preachers’ to teach children dinosaurs and men lived together

Naturally the presenter of the radio show and a “guest commentator,” namely one Basil McCrea, put their best efforts into trying to discredit the truth. Puffed up with their own intellects they kept insisting the earth is millions of years old and “modern science” cannot be wrong!

The debate perfectly illustrated Matthew 11:25 and it illustrates the greatest paradox of all.

Basil

Blind Basil he cannot see the truth

Almighty God has freely revealed the truth about salvation, history, the sciences,  the future and all the other important aspects of human life. Yet simultaneously while revealing the truth, Almighty God hides it from God haters like Basil McCrea!

THE PERFIDIOUS NATURE OF “CONTROLLED OPPOSITION”

Posted on by SAM FLANAGAN

Lech Walesa has been dogged by allegations that he once worked for some “secret police service.”

Naturally he refutes such allegations.

However, the scenario does illustrate the reality to the general public  that “controlled opposition,” is a fact and not some myth.

It is a tactic which is used in Western societies as well as the Eastern and Middle Eastern societies.

Obviously the same type of subterfuge has been carried out in N.Ireland in both the “Republican” and “Loyalist” communities.

Here is a video series showing how the “controlled opposition” tactic was used in Israel in 2008. The series is titled “The Traitors.”

Proverbs 3:5+6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
