Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

The Hardworking Servant Messiah:   The Issachar Teaching eLetter has been offering surveys of every one of the sixty-six books of the Bible, in the order that they are found. Our goal is to encourage personal and small group Bible studies, as a means of growing strong spiritually. As we continue and conclude this introduction to the Gospel of Mark, let’s remember a few main points: It is the oldest and shortest of the four gospels; It was written by John Mark, apostle to Africa, understudy to Barnabas, Paul, and Peter; This gospel shows Jesus Christ as the tireless servant of God; The key Greek word is eutheos, used forty-two times and translated ‘immediately’ or ‘straightaway;’   We also learned why the sometimes disputed verses in Mark 16:9-20 should be considered part of the canon of Scripture. ( Note: If you missed out on Parts 01 and 02 of our Gospel of Mark survey, they can be found on our website: tan.org.au ). Let’s finalise our introduction by offering this Outline of...

...for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? -- Joel 2:11ff Few people realise how important and wonderful Bible prophecy can be. Its invaluable benefits include: 1.     Insight into the character of God; 2.     A preview into the future; 3.     An alarm clock to wake up the spiritual sleepers and sober up the drunkards (I Thessalonians 5:6);  4.     Incentive for holy living; 5.     Incentive for evangelism; 6.     Prospers those who heed its timeless message (II Chronicles 20:20 KJV); 7.     The brightest light on this planet until Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, comes again (II Peter 1:19). Above all, Bible prophecy is a much-needed ‘early warning service.’ Early warnings save lives and souls. One of the key themes in Bible prophecy is ‘The Day of the Lord.’ A simple description is the ‘Day of the Lord’ i...

A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished — Proverbs 22:3; 27:12 (NKJV) If you consider the nature of our world today, it is very strange. Common sense is in short supply, the exception is the rule, minority or individual rights trump community welfare, and the once respected Christian Church is held in ridicule. What is happening in our world and why? For starters, we need prudence if we are going to face the future with confidence. By definition, ‘prudence’ means ‘ the state of being careful in decision-making as to avoid unnecessary risk; careful thought for the future’ . Indeed, without prudence, there may be no future at all. In this series, we want to learn about the TEN TRENDS that are changing our world forever. Before we even begin with the first trend, we need to understand the over arching premise. It is this: We are in the Last Days First, what does this phrase mean? It does not mean a literally 24 h...

Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do — I Chronicles 12:32 Can you imagine it? An early-warning service about global trends as a series of meetings - not in central places like America or Europe - but in far away Australia. Some of the meetings were even in the great Australian outback. What was this all about? It is called ‘ Understanding the Times ’ Tour ( UTT) . During a 5 week period, my wife Leanne and I travelled from north to south (Melbourne to Sydney to Cairns) and then east to west (Brisbane to Adelaide to Perth) and visited regional areas, too. We travelled to 26 places and held 29 meetings. The goal? Like the ‘ children of Issachar, ’ UTT aims to help people ‘ understand the times. ’ To know what is happening and why. When you ‘ understand the times, ’ a great miracle occurs. God will download into your spirit how, when, where, why, and what you need to do. Let ’ s face it - even intell...
