Marching for ‘Jesus’!

A flyer for the event in Belfast this Saturday.

On the wrong road, going in the wrong direction and led by deceivers!

The following is a report taken from ‘The Belfast Newsletter’, 21st August, 2025.

There are concerns expressed, and rightly so, regarding this ‘March’ because of both its ecumenical connections and its associations with those denominations which embrace liberal ‘Christianity’ with its adherence to every form of unscriptural doctrine and practice. Roman Catholicism is also one of those which has indicated that it both endorses the march and plans to participate in it.

The Bible’s revelation of Who Jesus Christ is, is rejected by modernistic ‘Protestantism’ and blasphemous Romanism.

Any ‘assurances’ given by the March organisers regarding the ecumenical character of this march should be rejected for evidence of the true nature of this affair is all too plain.

The true person of the Lord Jesus Christ is set forth for us in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

“The Son of God, the second person in the Trinity, being very and  eternal God, of one substance, and equal with the Father, did, when the fullness of time was come take upon him man’s nature, with all the essential properties and common infirmities thereof, yet without sin: being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, of her substance. So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. Which person is very God and very man, yet one Christ the only Mediator between God and man,” (Chapter VIII, paragraph 2).

That will not be the universal view of those in the ‘March’!

It is therefore not a place where a true believer in Christ and one who seeks to obey the Bible will want to be seen. It would be wrong to give any form of endorsement to this amalgam of modern day ‘Babylonianism’!

The Bible clearly teaches the position of separation from all that is out of step with the Word of God that is to be observed by the Christian. Any true believers who do participate are deceived and acting contrary to the warnings of Holy Scripture! (more…)

Some thoughts on Daniel chapters 7 and 8 – Part 5 (final study)

In this our final study, I want us to particularly consider chapter 8, verses 10 to 27.

I will be seeking to bring together other prophecies from different parts of Holy Scripture, which are parallel to that recorded by Daniel, and I hope to be able to do that with some degree of clarity and cohesion.

At the close of our last study we noted what chapter 8, verse 9 says. “And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.”

I suggested that these geographical directions indicated that the “little horn”, the Antichrist, will approach the land of Israel from the north west. I further suggested that to travel from the land of Turkey to Israel would require just such a direction to be taken.

I. THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE AN INTELLIGENT MAN, SPEAKING GREAT THINGS!

This we are told in chapter 7, verse 8. “In this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” The eyes and the mouth suggest human intelligence.

The Devil whispers to the Antichrist; detail from Deeds of the Antichrist, circa 1501 by Luca Signorelli (1450–1523)

We are further told in 8:10-11. “And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, . . .”

This is explained for us, leaving us without cause to guess and theorise as to what is meant.

“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end,” verses 25-26.

The phrase “a time and times and the dividing of time” is explained in out last study and is that three and half year period of the ‘great tribulation’ for the Jewish people that will only end when Christ returns.

1. A chief feature of the Antichrist is his blaspheming of the Lord. The “great things” he will speak are great blasphemies against God! This will take place during the ‘great tribulation’. (more…)

51st Anniversary of the opening of Kilskeery FP Hall, 17th August 1974

Yesterday, Kilskeery Free Presbyterian Church marked its 51st anniversary since the opening of the hall which now forms the auditorium of the church building

Here are two pictures of that event. It is soul-stirring to look upon so many who laboured on the building of the hall who are now in glory.

One by one their seats were empty,
One by one they went away.’

We are thankful to the Lord that He has maintained the witness of the hall, which in 1977 was constituted as a Free Presbyterian Church congregation.

In February 1978 I became the pastor of the small flock.

The following year, Kilskeery Independent Christian School was commenced under the principalship of Mrs Ann Foster BA, now too in glory since June 8th, 2024.

 

Mrs Foster when I first met her in a Young People’s Fellowship meeting in Ravenhill Free Presbyterian Church, September 11th 1964 — soon to be 61 years ago.
