Re: U3A Term 4-2021 APOLOGIES: NO R09 ZOOM CLASS TODAY 28 Oct.
Hi Ray,
?
Sorry to know you are unwell.? My prayers for a quick recovery with
less discomfort as possible.? It is good you are seeing your GP.?
Prayers that he will prescribe the most effective medication and suggestions for
that recovery.
?
Thank you for sending your response to Christine’s question re Red Horse to
the whole group.? I totally agree with your comments.
?
I was particularly interested in the latter parts of your email –
commencing with the paragraph “Man-o-man” .... I wonder how many more of us have
been thinking along exactly the same lines – I have for several months
now.? Especially as we are hearing of serious food shortages in the UK of
all places!? Who would have thought that only a couple of years ago!!?
The analogy you have made is insightful.? Our whole world has changed so
quickly the past 5 years, and for the worse.? It behoves all of us to cling
to our faith with steadfastness, not to lose hope with all that’s happening
around us, but trying to keep our eyes on the great future we have been promised
as Believers.
?
It could well be that the “world leader” you mention is already alive
today??
?
Rest, and get well soon.
Blessings,
Merlene

Hi Christine,
Thanks for your wishes and
prayers.
The Red Horse definitely does
NOT represent Christ.? Note the wording, "And when he had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say, Come and
see. And there went out another horse that was red: and [power] was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should
kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." (Rev.
6:3-4)
The Four Horsemen are symbolic warnings of the
death and destruction to occur in the End Times, specifically the seven years of
Tribulation.? They are both progressive (they appear in a specific order)
and universal (all can be present at the same time in various places around the
world).? The symbolic four horses are:
- White
Horse - political, conquest.? This represents the Covenant of Peace
and Security whereby the Antichrist (Pseudo-Christ) ushers in the Tribulation
through political control.? For three and a half years he “was
given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation“ (Rev
13:5,7)
- Red Horse - war.? "Take peace from the
earth."
- Black Horse - famine. "But hurt not the powerful
wealthy."
- Pale (Sickly Green) Horse - Pestilence (death).
"Death of 1/4 of the people by war (Red Horse), hunger (Black Horse), disease
(Green Horse)."
The
"Horse" that most people get wrong is the White Horse because Jesus is
pictured returning on a (different) white horse in Revelation
19:11.? Our politically correct and effete theologians try to define the
White Horseman of the Apocalypse as "conquest" or "false religion", thus
ignoring that that conquest can come by many means, all of which are
political in nature.
So
the message of the Four Horsemen is that POLITICS leads to WAR leading to FAMINE
leading to PESTILENCE AND DEATH.
Man-o-man,
does this sum up the Coronavirus, which was politically unleashed to unseat Mr.
Trump and took peace from the earth (peacefully for the most part) through
Draconian controls.? We now face the collapse of the worldwide supply
chains soon to lead to massive shortages in food, etc. (but not hurting the
powerful wealthy), which will bring disease (pestilence) and death to countless
millions.?
What's
missing is a world leader who ushers in a 7-year covenant of peace and security.
Bottom line: it sounds like you may have
misunderstood your study group leader because, if not, he or she could not
possibly be more wrong!

Re: U3A Term 4-2021 APOLOGIES: NO R09 ZOOM CLASS TODAY 28 Oct.
Thanks for that prompt reply. You have succinctly laid out my understanding of the riders. (One thought, for example: Christ wouldn't be given a sword surely -? He already is one.)
She gave a sound interpretation of the white rider. Bit when I queried her stance on the red rider, l didn't want to seem rude so didn't? persist. Later, l looked at Missler's and Wiersbe's views which, of course, match yours.
I may pass your comments on to her?
Sending wishes for speedy recovery Christine

Re: U3A Term 4-2021 Session 1 Zoom Course R09
Hi Merlene,
Thanks as always for your kind comments.
I was blown away by your earlier genealogy email. What an interesting and unusual family history and what a conundrum.? I did a poke around on the internet but didn't come up with anything that you hadn't already covered other than a number of photographs of the now-demolished Gilbert Street church, but I'm sure that you already have seen them.? I also searched about six other genealogy websites (MyHeritage, Ancestry, FamilySearch, Geni, etc.) for your grand-pere Herbert Roy Weber, but again found nothing earth-shaking.
We haven't come to John's description of the descent of the Holy Spirit yet, but my strong sense is that the "tongues" described in Scripture were known languages from many parts of the world that the unlettered Galileeans could not possibly have known.? That seems to be the clear reading of the text.? Although I have attended (and been a member of) some charismatic AOG and Independent Baptist churches, I don't have a deep personal background in them, and can honestly say that I firmly believe that the glossolalia and "slaying in the Spirit" that I witnessed was neither genuine nor of God.? But that's not to say that I question anyone else's experiences.? As we've briefly touched on in the past, I have experienced quite a few supernatural "things" both good and evil, and have absolutely no doubt about the spiritual warfare going on around us.? For example, I firmly believe that I was divinely protected during combat, walking away from (or surviving) at least seven impossibly close calls due to "serendipity" or in several cases a "small clear voice".
Nor do I doubt miraculous healing. The surgeon in my Infantry battalion in combat was my hootch mate for a few months.? A "regular guy" and competent surgeon, his morals when I knew him were worse than an alley cat's, but obviously he was being tested and ultimately passed the test.? After he left the army he became a psychiatrist and specialized in the healing power of prayer, studying it scientifically and developing quite a good reputation. Answered prayer is just one form of miraculous healing.
You asked why we aren't seeing the Pentecostal gifts today.? I might suggest that the evidence of God's gifts are all around us, but our lives are simply too cluttered to see them clearly.? A number of years ago I perceived (rightly or wrongly) that one of my gifts was teaching and, despite whatever my "real" job way, I've been doing it ever since.? Did you know that I was the American Society of Training and Development's "International Trainer of the Year" for my work in Saudi Arabia, or that ...? Sure, it's not as sexy as most of the gifts, but there you go.? 
One of the messages that I get from the Gospel of John is to try to not overthink faith. When I do that, it tends to turn my focus from God to me, and I will always find myself wanting. Perhaps that's one reason that we have John Chapters 1-12, to have an available (and comforting) resource to help us turn our minds back to God.
Regarding the End Times, I hold strong pre-millennial views which I believe are firmly rooted in a clear reading of the Bible.? But as a Bible-believer I don't worship the Bible, I simply recognise that it is too marvelous in too many ways to be anything but supernaturally inspired by a Creator God.? In fact, wherever I turn in Scripture, I see evidence of its reality and truth.? And that evidence to me is proof that God exists. If I weren't grounded in God's truth, I would be beside myself with grief over watching my birth country's rapid collapse even as the world is drifting towards World War III as a direct result.? And since the Bible doesn't mention the USA, it seems to me that the world is possibly approaching the End Times.? But just as with the activities in the entire ministry of Jesus in the 1st Century, this is happening on God's timetable.
Sorry, Merlene, I certainly didn't start out to write all of the above.?
Your mention of interment rights (congrats, by the way) also got me thinking about buying a funeral plan. Since I don't belong anywhere, perhaps that would provide some roots.
Anyway, you wondered about your "brainwashing" as a child. As a former US Army Special Forces Psychological Warfare Officer (with a diploma to prove it), might I suggest that chances are that much if not most of that "brainwashing" is founded on reality.? As a Bible-believer, might I suggest that the Good Book can help you sort out the good bits from any bad bits.? As Gandhi opined, "I like your Christ.? I do not like your Christians.? Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."? But instead of following Gandhi's error and throwing both away, perhaps the focus might be on identifying which things are real and which are "Man's religion."?Okay!? I know!? That's easy for me to say.? Anyway, it's just a thought.
I think that I've worn out my welcome.
Blessings,
Ray

You are cordially invited to participate in U3A's?R09 What the Bible is About during the final term of 2021.? We still have 6? chapters left in the Gospel of John, which the Apostle John wrote for mature believers.?Many believers consider the Gospel of John to be a special book and real treasure that can speak directly to their needs in dark times like today.
Session 1 will include a one-time review of John Chapters 1-16 that we covered last term. In the unlikely event that we finish the review early, we will address Chapter 17, often referred to as the "Holy of Holies" of the New Testament.? This wonderful prayer by Jesus closes the Upper Room Discourse and precedes His agony in Gethsemane, His betrayal by Judas, and His arrest and trials. In it, Jesus prays that He may be glorified, that the eleven apostles may be protected and sanctified, and for all believers of all time.
Zoom log-in details are included below.

U3A Term 4-2001: Invitation to Zoom Course R09, What the Bible is About
You are cordially invited to participate in U3A's?R09 What the Bible is About during the final term of 2021.? We still have 6? chapters left in the Gospel of John, which the Apostle John wrote for mature believers.?Many believers consider the Gospel of John to be a special book and real treasure that can speak directly to their needs in dark times like today.
Session 1 will include a one-time review of John Chapters 1-16 that we covered last term. In the unlikely event that we finish the review early, we will address Chapter 17, often referred to as the "Holy of Holies" of the New Testament.? This wonderful prayer by Jesus closes the Upper Room Discourse and precedes His agony in Gethsemane, His betrayal by Judas, and His arrest and trials. In it, Jesus prays that He may be glorified, that the eleven apostles may be protected and sanctified, and for all believers of all time.
Zoom log-in details are included below.
Sessions will last from 10:45 AM until 12:00 Noon.? Please disregard the 10:30 start time on the email sent through U3A.? It is incorrect as Zoom only allows written schedules to read in half-hour increments.
As always, course notes for Term 4 will be posted at??shortly after each session finishes.
Any questions, comments, complaints, and/or recommendations will be gratefully received.

U3A Zoom Course R09, Course notes are now posted
Thank you for another successful term at U3A for R09 What the Bible is About.? A good outcome for the course is for each participant to re-read the Gospel of John at your own pace and in your own time with a better understanding of and appreciation for John's message.? If you can, pick a quiet place and time and reads the words aloud.
The emotive and personal words in this gospel speak to the heart, as well as the head if the reader allows.? John promotes the Deity of Jesus Christ and the believer's relationship with God the Father through Him.? Jesus is promoted as the 'Good Shepherd' and the 'Light of the World' because He is someone who identifies with and deeply cares for us and the trials that we go through as individuals.
John wrote this gospel for mature believers. The first twelve chapters lay out a definitive picture for them of who Jesus is and the salvation and peace that a relationship with Him can bring.? Many believers consider the Gospel of John to be a special book and real treasure that can speak directly to their needs in dark times by connecting directly to God's love.? The next time you despair of worldly things or find yourself questioning your own mortality, please consider making time to read John Chapters 1-12.
The complete course notes for this term covering John Chapters 1-16 are now posted at?
As always, any questions, comments, complaints, and/or recommendations will be gratefully received.

U3A Zoom Course R09, Course notes are now posted
The course notes for John Chapter 12 are now posted at?
As next week is the final scheduled week this term, we will continue with the Gospel of John via Zoom in Term 4.? Please enroll at the U3A Brisbane website.? Thanks.
Prior to the start of today's session, I noticed my computer's memory on C-Drive filling up again so I went through the steps that the "pros" from Singapore went through last week and squeezed out a few gigabytes of memory.? As I was about to sign on to Zoom for the session, I noticed something interesting: I had inadvertently stumbled across the "Holy Grail" of wasted computer memory and in just a few minutes opened up over 60 GB of memory, thus solving my problem.? What's more, I both know which specific folders to check periodically in the future to prevent the problem from recurring, but I also have some additional ideas of other computer files to check for similar problems.? Now I really feel a bit better.
See you next week.
As always, your questions, comments, complaints, and/or recommendations for next term will be gratefully received.
