From the Pastor’s Pen
Our eyes are once again fixed on Israel as we witness the first steps of a peace deal being signed and unfolding. Of the 49 hostages still not returned by Hamas, it is now believed, sadly, that only about 20 may still be alive. This is cruelty and evil at its highest form.
Yet, across our streets, people are championing Hamas and shouting “Allah Akbar” at Sydney airport as protestors return from the so-called Gaza Flotilla. But glory be to the one true God — the God of Israel — for His plans are still unfolding, leading up to the Rapture of His Church and the beginning of the Great Tribulation, the seven-year period spoken of by Daniel and detailed in the book of Revelation.
We can now understand more clearly how, during that Tribulation period, people will refuse to repent and instead blaspheme God for His righteous judgments. Even today, on our streets and in our news broadcasts, we see the faces of those whose hatred for God burns with fervour and vileness.
The ongoing pro-Palestinian protests are a vivid preview of a world preparing itself — a world that has rejected Christ and will soon welcome the Antichrist, who will be the very personification of the Devil himself.
Jesus said in John 5:43, “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”
Let us, therefore, gather this week in prayer, fulfilling God’s will by continuing to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Helen’s heart
The next Calvary Women’s Bible study is on the 21st of October, Tuesday here at the chapel starting at 9:30am.
When I am weak then I am strong – 2 Cor 12:10
When the Apostle Paul battled physical weakness and opposition to his ministry he looked to God for strength. In our difficult times it is good to commit our weakness, our difficulty, our illness and allow God to work in our lives. Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain them – Psalm 55:22
