The only prophecy ever!

Back in 2014 I posted the Single Shortest Prophecy ever! 

I was talking about Jonah!

Today I am remastering that post and renaming it The only prophecy ever!

Why?

Because lately I have been looking into some archaeological videos, finds and documentation discovered in one of the greatest Assyrian empire cities of all times, Nineveh.

And …

And the prophecy I shared is one of the greatest revelations of who God is and the best up-front statement of the truth you can hope to hear, ever.

It was so monumental that it moved the wicket hordes of the capital empire city of Assyria to agree and accept the only good news there can ever be.

The endeavour itself was epic!

What is the story?

Who was the prophet?

Why was there a prophecy?

What makes it so significant?

Let me answer some of these questions to myself and you can decide whether you agree or not.

Called

There is a truthful expression going around that I have quoted before.

It goes like this:

GOD DOESN'T HAVE A CALLING ON YOUR LIFE ... YOUR LIFE IS HIS CALLING

I like expressions, especially when they are true.

And when they counter some of my religious persuasions, I like them even more!

To be called or not to be called. That is the question! 

Calling - wanted dead or alive?

Peter the stone and epiginōskō

The Transformation of the Rock-Man

This morning, I found myself drawn back to the epistle of Peter, the letter of the rock-man himself. Steady, hard, and unshaken, his words resonate with a rugged authenticity.

It's astounding how this tough fisherman, whose name means "rock," could be so profoundly transformed by the kindness, love, and grace of Jesus. In the Bible, we encounter Peter as a man of strong convictions, a quick thinker, and a passionate defender of his beliefs.

Beyond Love - Abba Ahabah!

During an anthropology research trip undertaken in 2015 I had a divine revelation experience that I will never forget … ever!

I remember that our research trip took us into the most remote areas of the Northern Cape Richtersveld desert, looking for Nama communities who still practiced the rite-of-passage custom of initiation.

… and Father, speaking to me ever so clearly, shared His inner-being.

It was His 'ahăḇâ-revelation.

Superlatives and antithesis

This morning I made a self-discovery.

In my efforts to better understand certain phenomena, facts, theories, notions and suppositions in life, I rely heavily on applying superlatives and antithesis.

Yip!

I tend to reason in extremes.

You may say that something is not as it should be … and you may be right … or you may be wrong.
