Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

It looks like a regular billboard but the content is not regular at all. Instead of advertising the latest perfume, theatre program, or sporting event, it provides up-to-date information - no, not the time nor the weather - but America’s national debt. The billboard is in New York City and is known as the ‘National Debt Clock.’ As of January, America’s federal debt was $31,341,547,109. That’s $31 trillion (each trillion is a million dollars a million times) in debt. Wrap your mind around that figure. As a bonus, the debt clock adds another piece of information: Your family’s share of the debt is $237,520 per family.   America’s national debt has been frightfully increasing over many years. In the current US administration, Congress has passed several spending bills totalling over $6 trillion. Credible complaints point out that there is much ‘pork’ among the beef, including the recent 4,000-page omnibus spending $1.7 trillion, which was hastily passed before the incoming Congress to...

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David — 2 Samuel 5:6-7 In just a few words, a simple conquest by the warrior king transformed a nation and the world. A city that eluded the armies of Joshua, the judges, and king Saul - was captured by David. Yes, the shepherd king who worked his way up: slaying the lion and bear, defeating the giant Goliath, now he was supremely confident of he could take the stronghold of Zion - Jerusalem - city of the Jebusites. Recap : Before going further, let us recall what we covered so far. In the previous article, we learned that Jerusalem is the premier city of Scripture, mentioned one thousand times, and is known by various names. We also learned that Zion is the royal section of the...

Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her — Ezekiel 5:5 It is arguably the most famous city in the world - a household name even in remote places like the highlands of Papua New Guinea or the jungles of the Amazon. It has four thousand years of history of which the first thousand was heathen, the second thousand Israelite, the next two thousand Gentile, and then after the June War of 1967, the city returned to Jewish/Israeli rule.   This six-part series will look at Jerusalem - historically and prophetically. When we understand Jerusalem, we better comprehend the will of God.   Bird’s Eye View The first time Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible by name is in Joshua 10:1 . Adonizedek formed a coalition against the royal city of Gibeon, for having the audacity to make a league with Joshua and Israel. He is referred to as the ‘king of Jerusalem.’. Despite its lack of mention in the Torah/Pentateuch...

The 20 20s have been a decade unlike anything we have seen in living memory, even surpassing the turbulent 1960s. For many people, it has caused a lot of fear and much of it is misdirected. People are afraid of global warming, environmental apocalypse, and being called pejorative names like racists, misogynists, etc. The rise of ‘wokery,’ ‘wokeism,’ or just plain ‘woke’ - now in overt overdrive - with its punitive cancel culture, causes much trepidation. Yet, as someone put it: the only fear you need is the fear of the Lord; once attained, it will cancel out all other fears.   In this article, we will give you a few places to watch - and pray - as well as some practical tips on how to handle the future. The Western World Western civilisation, based on Greek telos , Roman jurisprudence, and most of all, Judaeo-Christianity, has lifted many out of poverty, recognised human rights, respect for the individual, granted equality of opportunity and unparalleled freedoms, and fostered sci...
