		<title>Biblical Debtors, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of the most fundamental laws of the Kingdom are financial in nature. Restitution is a financial law, because theft itself is a financial sin. The Sixth Commandment proclaims that it is a God-given right to own one’s labor. Ownership confers authority over the use of one’s labor. Theft of another person’s labor violates that right and is therefore a sin.
When a nation taxes its people beyond the laws of the tithe and first fruits, it commits national sin by appropriating labor that is not authorized in Scripture. Such national sin negatively affects the financial condition of all the people.
St. Anselm’s Theology
All sin is reckoned as a debt, as St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109) wrote in his famous work, Why God Became Man. The debt metaphor is biblical and appears throughout earlier Christian literature. But Anselm seems to be the first major theologian to make debt/satisfaction the controlling principle of his entire doctrine of sin and atonement.]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Debtors, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The law of God establishes the rights of God and men. The First Commandment establishes God’s right to be worshiped and obeyed, based upon His right as the Creator and Owner of all. In fact, the first four commandments primarily address God’s rights. The last six commandments set forth the God-given rights of man. These two sets of commandments are thus summarized by the two great commandments—to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39).
These commandments have never been repealed, abolished, or put away, regardless of how many carnal minds try to do so. The commandments still define sin (or debt), for 1 John 3:4 says, “sin is lawlessness.” Paul agrees, telling us in Romans 7:7,
7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said,]]></description>

		<title>2026 Peace Movement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With all the fanfare going on about a “peace deal,” we should understand that this is not an actual “deal.” It is a memorandum of understanding that sets a partial agenda for future talks that may result in a peace deal.
So far, we do not know for certain what arrangements have been agreed to. What Iran says is far different from what Trump says. Until we see a written memorandum signed by both parties, its contents are anyone’s guess. And even then, a memorandum is not legally binding. It only states promises, which hardly worth any more than the signatures.
The hardline warmongers (on both sides) still oppose peace and do not even want the two sides to start talking directly to each other. So far, the talks have been conducted in separate rooms, using Pakistani diplomats to shuttle letters between them. Even that much is anathema to those who prefer and profit by war.

“There are many sticking points, but the most visible seems to be centered on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Bible Seminar in Pakistan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this report today from Pastor Fiaz regarding last weekend’s Bible seminar…
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We recently conducted a three-day seminar in Gujranwala. During this seminar, we taught participants about the Book of Haggai and the Two Covenants. By the grace of God, all three days were richly blessed. The attendees were amazed as they heard new insights and revelations from these books. Through these teachings, they gained a deeper understanding of biblical truths and discovered fresh revelations from Scripture.
Some participants shared the following testimonies:

Studying Dr. Stephen E. Jones&#x00027;s books introduced me to aspects of Scripture that I had never considered before. His writings help explain God&#x00027;s plan with greater clarity.
When I studied The Two Covenants, it helped me understand the profound connection between the Old and New Testaments. This book has strengthened my study of the Bible.

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, God judged (or punished) them as well as the ground itself (Genesis 3:18). The Chinese word for “punish” is 刑. It is composed of two elements:
开 (kāi) — to open, separate
刂 (knife radical)
Ancient forms of 刑 were associated with cutting, mutilation, or the infliction of judicial penalties. In ancient China, punishments often involved physical penalties, so the knife radical became associated with criminal punishment and enforcement of law. One of the words for “discern” is 辨, “to discern, distinguish.”
Notice the knife radical in the middle of two identical figures 辛 representing a sharp cutting tool, often understood as a knife, awl, tattooing needle, or instrument used in punishment. Because the original tool was associated with punishment and corrective measures, 辛 appears in many legal and judicial characters.
Some Chinese philologists have noted that the appearance of 辛 in these characters often suggests examination, judgment,]]></description>

		<title>Is Peace Possible?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trump’s “Peace Deal” is only a Memorandum of Understanding, which sets the framework for a peace deal. An MOU is non-binding. It only sets forth intentions, not actual agreements. Right now, there are three different countries, each pulling in different directions: USA, Israel, and Iran.
Furthermore, Netanyahu clearly shows his displeasure and is refusing to back down on his invasion of Lebanon. The Trump team is already signaling that Iran cannot be trusted and will immediately break “the deal” as soon as it is signed. This seems to be a setup for an excuse to go back to war while blaming Iran.
From a prophetic standpoint, my watch dates for a resumption of a hot war are in the first half of July. So we will see how things progress in the coming weeks.
Here is a discussion about the situation with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis.

		<title>Israeli casualties of war</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Censorship in Israel is tight, making it virtually illegal to report the deaths of Israeli soldiers in their war against Iran and Lebanon—unless the news reports only the official numbers. So I find the following report to be somewhat ironic, because they report over 9,100 “injured,” and yet the videos are taken at a cemetery. (I have noticed the same &#x00022;injury&#x00022; reports in many news articles, and they never tell us how many were actually killed, unless the government releases its own (low) figure.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTRxma60Us
It is more difficult to hide the number of injured soldiers, because the doctors and nurses in the hospitals keep records of those that they have to treat. The number of soldiers killed is easier to hide.
Official government statistics admit only 43 Israelis killed (27 civilians and 16 military personnel). Normally, casualties run about 6:1, or 6 injured for every 1 killed. So if 9,100 were injured,]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Genesis 1:2 says,
2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
We also read in Genesis 1:6, 7,
6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Thus the Bible explicitly speaks of waters below and waters above, separated by the raqia (firmament, expanse).
The Chinese word for “Spirit” is 靈. At the top is: 雨 (yǔ), “rain.” Throughout Chinese tradition, rain was viewed as a heavenly blessing descending from above. The character was originally a picture, not a compound built from independent radicals. Nonetheless, when we separate the radicals on which “rain” is constructed, we see three main components: 一 (heaven, sky, above), 冂 (cover, canopy, perhaps a cloud layer),]]></description>

		<title>Headline: &#x00022;Trump begins all-out war&#x00022;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXI0cFyv7KE
Last week I wrote about the February 26-28, 2001 pattern where, in spiritual warfare, we were attacked in an “all-out war.” This was a further development of the original 1983 pattern of a 40-day period from February 28 to April 8, 1983. That time frame (40 days to April 8) manifested this year in the so-called “40-day war” in which US and Israel attacked Iran. They reached a fragile ceasefire on April 8, 2026.
I also wrote about a possible “world war” coming in July, based on the 2001 pattern of events. More specifically, the spiritual battles in 2001 began June 30 and climaxed July 11. This means we should consider this to be current “watch dates,” most likely connected to the US war on Iran for daring to challenge Israeli hegemony in the region.
The so-called “ceasefire” was just a less-bad time and was used to rearm. In other words, the ceasefire was a time of preparation for the real war.]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adam was made from the dust of the ground into a living soul (Genesis 2:7). The Chinese word for “to create” is 创 造 (chuàngzào).

创 (chuàng) = to initiate, establish, begin, found, create
造 (zào) = to make, build, construct, manufacture

Together, 创造 means “to create, to bring into existence, or to originate.” Historically, the earliest meaning of the first character chuàng was related to “cutting open” or “beginning something by making an incision.” From the idea of opening a new way came the extended meanings: to initiate, to found, to start, to create.
The second character造 (zào) consists of:

辶 (man walking/movement radical at the bottom, hair on top). Also: 儿
告 (gào) — to announce or proclaim

Traditional analysis of gào breaks this down into two parts:

牛 (niú) — ox
口 (kǒu) — mouth

The word gào correlates with Genesis 1:3, “Then God said…” He spoke things as an announcement of something coming into existence.]]></description>

		<title>Biblical Revelation in Chinese Writing, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The earliest Chinese were monotheistic, referring to the Creator God as Shang Ti, “Heavenly Emperor.” Today it is more commonly spelled Shangdi. Literally:
上 (shàng) = above, upper, supreme, highest. The ancient form depicts something above a reference line, meaning “above, upward, highest, supreme.” It conveys exaltation and transcendence.
帝 (dì) = emperor, sovereign, ruler, lord. In modern Chinese it means “emperor, sovereign.” But in ancient texts di referred to a supreme ruler or divine sovereign.
In ancient Chinese thought, Shangdi was regarded as the supreme heavenly authority above all lesser spirits and ancestral powers. The title appears very early in Chinese history, especially in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 B.C.). The Shang kings offered sacrifices to Shangdi and viewed him as Ruler of heaven, Controller of weather, Giver of victory, and Judge of nations.
Unlike many pagan deities,]]></description>

		<title>The Mideast war heats up again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have followed the news regarding the Mideast conflict, you will recall that the Israelis and US forces aggressively attacked Iran on February 28, 2026. This opened up Pandora’s Box, which they will probably not be able to close again.
After 40 days, a “ceasefire” was announced on April 8. The date itself follows the prophetic pattern set in 1983, where a 40-day cycle was established from February 28 to April, 1983. Recall that from March 10 to April 8, 1983 I made a 30-day trip within that 40-day period.
Anyway, the ceasefire was supposed to include Lebanon, but the Israelis insisted otherwise. So it was inevitable that the ceasefire would eventually fall apart. The Israelis decided to use the opportunity to invade Lebanon once again and to seize more land for their “Greater Israel” project. They claim that they want a “buffer zone,” but once they establish that buffer zone, they will annex it, bring in more settlers, and then they will have to defend it with another buffer zone,]]></description>

		<title>7.8 Richter earthquake in the Philippines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[https://news.abplive.com/news/world/7-8-earthquake-hits-philippines-buildings-collapse-students-caught-on-camera-holding-each-other-1848794

“The Philippines was hit by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake Monday morning. Videos show buildings collapsing in General Santos, and authorities warn aftershocks may follow.
“A powerful earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck the Philippines on Monday morning, May 7, sending shockwaves across the region. The ground shook three times within the first hour, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Videos circulating on social media show buildings reduced to rubble, with offices and schools bearing the brunt of the damage.
“In some areas, walls cracked, and household items fell as residents scrambled for safety. The scale of the destruction has raised serious concerns about casualties and structural damage across the affected zones.”

I know General Santos City very well. The locals call it Gensan. Here is my report from 2013.

		<title>Pakistan report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this report from Pastor Fiaz today…
Hello.
By the grace of God, the work of God’s Kingdom Ministries Pakistan is progressing very well. This week, we conducted programs at three different locations where people from various churches were taught using your books.
At one of our centers, we are teaching through the Book of Jonah, while at the Damoki Center we are instructing people about the Kingdom of God. Today, Faith Theological Seminary held a class on the preparation of research proposals and thesis outlines for its students, and I had the privilege of leading that session. During the class, I not only introduced the students to our ministry and its work but also shared information about your books. In addition, I presented each student with copies of Haggai and The Two Covenants as gifts.
Tomorrow morning, I have also been invited to speak at a church,]]></description>

		<title>Projections for July and September</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early this year, we discerned that the spiritual wars that we fought in 2001 were about to bubble to the surface in 2026. This was confirmed on February 28, and all of the watch dates (about the war) since then have proven to be linked to 2001.
That leads us to the watch dates in July and September this year. Recall from 2001 that we fought a series of “skirmishes” from June 30 to July 11, 2001, culminating in what we saw as “world war.” In my notes for July 11, 2001 I wrote, “America attacked.” Two months later (according to the 1980 revelation that “July is like September”), this was one headline:
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/sept11/president_008.asp
Because we foresaw this on July 11, 2001, we understood that the spiritual attack would resurface two months later on September 11.  The date was also important because September 11, 2001 was 3 years after President Bill Clinton humbled himself at the White House prayer breakfast (September 11, 1998). Tom Brokaw, the news anchor,]]></description>

		<title>Ministry progress report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is always good to finish up a project. Having finished writing the commentary on Second Peter, our arsenal of commentaries now includes all of the New Testament writers. This broadens our understanding of the word itself.
Today my wife finished proofing First Peter, which was finished a month ago. It still has to be proofed by my son Joel, who always manages to find a few typos that Darla missed, even though she reads through each new book twice before passing it on to Joel. I think we spend more time in the proofing stage than in the actual writing itself. I do the formatting and the basic editing for content, but they save me a lot of time and tedious work by proofreading the books.
We are planning to offer both of Peter’s epistles in a single volume (i.e., Book 1 and Book 2), perhaps in late July.
We have also been proofing the commentary on Zechariah. Darla has finished her part, and Joel is nearing the end of his proofreading as well. I included many color pictures in Zechariah,]]></description>
