Additional views and remarks on news and religious events in the world

Marcus Ampe presenting: Some View on the World
Johannes 1:1 > “… en het woord was god.”
Uit de Oude doos: May 16, ’04 Hallo all, Wat wordt er bedoeld met : “… en het Woord was God?” Wordt daarmee aangeduidt dat er naast “de God” die ervoor genoemd wordt, er nóg een god is? Of gaat het om de bestaanswijze of zijnswijze van het woord? In Kenneth S. Wuest’s “The New […]
E´bed-Me´Lech
E´BED-ME´LECH (eʹbed-meʹlek; “servant of a king”). Probably an official title equal to king’s slave, i.e., minister; an Ethiopian at the court of Zedekiah, king of Judah, who was instrumental in saving the prophet Jeremiah from the dungeon and famine (Jer. 38:7–13). For the kindness he was promised deliverance when the city should fall into the […]
Eʹbed – servant
E´BED (eʹbed; “servant”). 1. The father of Gaal (which see), who headed the insurrection at Shechem against Abimelech (Judg. 9:26–35), about 1100 b.c. 2. Son of Jonathan and head of the descendants of Adin, who returned (to the number of fifty males) from the captivity (Ezra 8:6), about 457 b.c. The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary, Merrill F. Unger
E´bal = ēʹbal
E´BAL (ēʹbal; to be “bare,” a “stone”). 1. A variant reading (1 Chron. 1:22) for Obal (which see). 2. One of the sons of Shobal, son of Seir the Horite, of Edom (Gen. 36:23; 1 Chron. 1:40). 3. A mountain opposite Gerizim (Deut. 11:29; Josh. 8:30, 33). In Deut. 27:4 the Samaritan Pentateuch has Gerizim […]
Those who lived under the ground and seek refuge under ground
This question was asked: Have any human societies ever lived underground? In prehistoric times, people sought protection against weather conditions in caves. The cavities in the rocks formed their houses and also provided protection against certain animals. Yet times came when people had to go deeper into the earth. Especially at the time of the persecution of […]

Leviticus 13:49 & Leviticus 14:2-4 major biblical treatment of “leprosy”
“and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin, either in the warp or in the woof or in any thing of skin, it is a plague of leprosy and shall be shown unto the priest.” (Leviticus 13:49 KJ21) “2 “This shall be the law of the leper in […]
Leviticus 13:2 & 46 Ostracising persons afflicted with defiling skin diseases
Chapter 13 13:2 a defiling skin disease. A more descriptive rendering is “a scaly skin condition.” Here the issue regarding a scaly (with lesions) skin disease is not infection/contagion in the sense that it would make other people physically sick. Rather, the concern is with protection of the sphere of holiness, centred at the sanctuary, […]
History repeats, but all shall have to know Who Jehovah God is
Humans are stubborn creatures who learn very slowly. Throughout the ages, the Divine Creator has done everything in His power to guide humanity onto the right path, but the majority of people believe they know better than an Invisible Being over whom they have no control. From start to finish, the story of the Bible […]
Leviticus 13:1–59 Skin diseases
“1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest or unto one […]
Purity, impurity and purification
“1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman have conceived seed and borne a manchild, then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 3 And on the eighth day the flesh […]
Internet, social media and AI
By artificial intelligence our phone and computer do know to recognise us. A few years ago nobody thought it for possible that robots would succeed to run faster than a human being or that robots would take the place of human beings and people looking for their work to be solved by means of artificial […]
About social media at last Sunday service
At the ecclesia Brussel-Leuven and the ecclesia of Nebury brother Matt Swein gave an exhortation on ‘Social media’. Over the years, several channels have appeared on the internet that ‘begged’ to gain popularity among young and old. By using algorithms, they managed to enormously increase the screen use of young and old. It’s incredible […]
Een Bijbels antwoord op uw vraag: Kan iemand zeker weten dat hij of zij behouden is
Vraag: Kan iemand zeker weten dat hij of zij behouden is, en eeuwig leven zal ontvangen bij Christus’ komst? Antwoord: Wij kunnen onze behoudenis nooit zelf verdienen, noch als ons recht beschouwen. Zij is een vrijwillige gave van God, die Hij zuiver op grond van Zijn liefde en genade, door middel van de offerdood […]
Lengthy lists of epithets or titles that refer to character traits or special activities
“1 And the LORD said unto Moses, “Hew thee two tablets of stone like unto the first, and I will write upon these tablets the words that were in the first tablets which thou brokest. 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto Mount Sinai, and present thyself there […]
A word about faith – primarily a matter of the heart
A word about faith: Faith is primarily a matter of the heart and secondarily of the mind; for with the heart man believes, and with the mouth he confesses his belief. The natural man has trouble with faith for he needs to understand something before his heart can accept it; the spiritual man accepts something […]

Becoming the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit
Scripture teaches that when we receive Jesus as Saviour we actually become the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Paul asks, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). This is a staggering fact. Think of it—God the Holy Spirit […]
A lesson in prayer
And at that time Herod the king laid hands upon to injure certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.) 4 And having seized, he put […]
Praying because prayer is God’s cure for giving up
Why pray? We should pray because prayer is God’s cure for giving up. Isaiah 40:30–31 reminds us: “Even the youths shall faint and be weary, … but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.” We should not lose heart. We should not give up. Martin Luther said, “As it is the business […]
Setting boundaries
Set boundaries with your family in mind I was a full-time seminary student when I got my first job in ministry. It was a great position that afforded me significant responsibility and opportunity to use my gifts with our church’s college group, all while being mentored into ministry by the college pastor, Chuck. I was […]
Being ambitious for those around
Be ambitious for those around you To the extent we can, we’ve attempted to make every ministry in the church team-based, such that there is no area where only one person is able to perform a given task. A brilliant practice that we picked up early on has helped immensely with this. When a person is […]
Failing loudly
Fail loudly. Shame and insecurity being what they are, most of us respond to failure by hiding. We reach for our proverbial fig leaf (i.e., an area of unquestioned strength) and try to hide behind it in order to mitigate our feeling of being exposed as weak. But the truth is that those leaders who […]
Adding vulnerability to our power for churchplanting
Find people you can submit to. Another way we add vulnerability to our power is by proactively seeking out accountability. Historically, this was known as the discipline of submission, and it was seen as essential to pastoral health and vitality. In speaking to this need, Eugene Peterson invokes the old adage that “the doctor who […]
Being realistic and balanced for planting a church
Be realistic. Commit to what you can do, not to what you think you should do. Take into account your season of life with the benefits and limitations this season brings, your current state of spiritual fitness, and plan accordingly. Sometimes a person will come to me, feeling inspired to be more intentional about their […]
The beginning of church planting
In today’s world where denial is an asset, there is an enormous need for church planters, people who are so inspired by the belief that they dare to row up against the current and spread the faith in such a way that they are willing to start a house church or other kind of church. […]
Pay it forward
Pay It Forward Camille: Paul writes in Philippians: “Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us” (Phil. 3:17). In his letter to his friends, Paul is playing the role of mentor and teacher in the faith. And he is also asking them to […]

Thought for today “Be strong and courageous” (May 17)
7 Only be strong and be greatly active, to watch to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: thou shalt not turn aside from it to the right and to the left, so that thou shalt be wise in all things where thou shalt go. 8 And the book of this law […]
Thought for today “The Eternal God is your Dwelling Place” (May 16)
27 The God of the beginning testifying, and underneath, the perpetual arms: and he will thrust out the enemy from before thee, and will say, Destroy. 28 And Israel shall dwell confidently alone; the eye of Jacob upon a land of grain and new wine, also his heavens shall drop dew. 29 Happy, thou, Israel: who like thee, […]
Thought for today ” Christ disarmed the demonic powers and authorities” (May 15)
15 Having stripped off beginnings and powers, he made an example in freedom of speech, having led them in triumph in it. 16 Therefore let not any judge you in food, or in drink, or in turn of a festival, or of the new moon, or of sabbaths: 17 Which are a shadow of things about to […]
Thought for today “Him we proclaim” (May 14)
25 Of which I was a servant, according to the stewardship of God, given to me for you, to complete the word of God; 26 The mystery hid from times immemorial, and from generations, and now has been manifested to his holy ones: 27 To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of […]
Thought for today “Choose life that you and your offspring may live” (May 13)
19 I called to witness against you this day the heavens and the earth, the life and the death I gave before thee, the blessing and the curse: and choose upon life, so that thou shalt live, thou and thy seed: 20 To love Jehovah thy God; to hear to his voice and to cleave to […]

Muziek in de Bijbel: Liederen (2) De lofzang van Hanna
Hanna had dubbel verdriet: ze was kinderloos en zag de ellende van het volk omdat “iedereen deed wat in zijn eigen ogen goed was” (Richt 21:25). Het leek alsof God voor het volk weinig tot geen betekenis meer had. Ook de richters die God het volk gaf, konden daar weinig verandering in brengen. Daarom verlangde […]
Overdenking: Willen zien en weten
In de evangeliën gaat het vaak om ‘zien’ en ‘niet zien’. De blindgeborene in Johannes kan lichamelijk niet zien, maar met zijn geestelijk gezichtsvermogen is niets mis. Maar voor de geestelijke leiders ligt dat precies omgekeerd: “En Jezus zei: Tot een oordeel ben ik in deze wereld gekomen, opdat wie niet zien, zien mogen, en […]
Boekbespreking: Christus de Verlosser
Het kennen en ervaren van de Christus (of Messias) was voor Jezus’ discipelen een bron van grote vreugde. Want zij wisten uit de Schriften dat de Messias de eeuwige Koning zou zijn op de troon van David in Jeruzalem. Toch had zijn missie een belangrijkere kant: die van Verlosser. Hoeveel groter was dan ook hun […]
Leven in de verwachting van het Koninkrijk van God (4) De confrontatie tussen God en mensen (2)
De verschillende reacties op Gods spreken en handelen Al heel vroeg in de geschiedenis begon de mens God buiten zijn leven te sluiten. Adam en Eva maakten een eigen keuze voor hun leven, en verwierpen daarmee bewust (ze gaven immers het goede antwoord op de vraag van de slang) de raad van God, dat ene […]
Gelukkig makende zaken niet ver te zoeken
We moeten geen klavertje vier gaan zoeken om het geluk te vinden. Ook al mogen we van die dagen hebben dat we werkelijk voelen dat het geluk ons niet meezit, zouden we, als we verder dan de hoek willen kijken, het geluk daarvoor het rapen zien liggen. Als Broeders in Christus kunnen wij al geluk […]

Een positieve verandering in het leven
Als men Broeders in Christus zou vragen om een positieve verandering te beschrijven die ze hebben gemaakt in hun leven, zal je meestal horen dat het kennen van God voor hen een belangrijke omschakeling teweeg bracht. Als mensen de Ware God leren kennen, staan ze dikwijls versteld van hoe hun kerk hen jaren bedrogen heeft […]
Het aantal christenen in Nederland bij de aanvang van 2026
In Nederland wordt het aantal christenen geschat op ongeveer 24 tot 25 miljoen mensen, hoewel dit afhankelijk is van de definitie en bron. De meeste christenen behoren tot verschillende kerkgemeenschappen, waaronder: Rooms-Katholieke Kerk met ondermeer de Nederlandse rooms-katholieke kerkprovincie: Dit is verrassend de grootste christelijke denominatie in Nederland. Het aandeel katholieken steeg tot 40,5% in […]
Een Boek dat men over en over kan lezen
Op de vraag van WordPress “What book could you read over and over again?” kan ons antwoord kort en krachtig zijn.

Het Boek der boeken, de Bijbel of Heilige Schrift, […]
Gedachte tijdens de Paasdagen van 2026
Op woensdag 1 april kwamen op verscheidene plaatsen, in Beit Knesets, Koninkrijkszalen, Kerkhallen, Tempels, huiskerken en in gewone private huizen broeders en zusters tesamen om de belangrijkste herinnering van het jaar met elkaar door te nemen. Voor hen was het 14 Nisan of Erev Pesach, de hoogdag die door God werd ingesteld en die Jezus […]
Hevige reacties tegenover iemand, beter te mijden
Het is maar al te makkelijk om anderen de schuld te geven van je boosheid of hevige reactie tegenover iemand. Als eersten van de nieuwe schepping verkregen we van God door de verkondiging van de waarheid als het ware een nieuw omhulsel waarbij de harde schil een zacht innerlijk beschermt. Met onze veranderde natuur moeten we […]

Getting more people going to follow the real Messiah

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? Looking at the world, being sad, noticing that so many people are misled by big institutions that claim to be the only right church, whilst they do not follow at all the Bible teachings, nor Christ his teachings and do […]
Foretold Messiah 5 Old Testament pointing to John the Baptist and to Immanuel, Jeshua the Christ
Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
Foretold Messiah 4 From the seed of Noah and Abraham
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Foretold Messiah 3 Bruised one to be taken into heaven as a servant and son of God
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Foretold Messiah 2 a Voice giving The Word to His servants
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.

Watchtower Victims Memorial Day
Ten years ago: Former Witnesses come together to mark Watchtower Victims Memorial Day A small number of innovative former Witnesses recently decided to organize a special day of mourning for those affected by the harmful doctrines and policies of the Watchtower religion. The first annual “Watchtower Victims Memorial Day” was held on July 26th and […]
Uncovering wrong sayings and unbiblical teachings

Those grafted in again
The apostle Paul wrote about the dispersion, the dispersed House of Israel. They had been “without covenant“, but Paul was sent out to recover them. So they were “grafted in again“ (Romans 11/23).
