It has the English and Chinese versions side by side.

Airforce Flying Assassin Robot
The modern day drones warfare is nothing new.
The latest development of such drone as a weapon of assassination with very little collateral damage has entered its final development stage.
Interestingly, this drone is named the Anubis.
Anubis was the most important god of the Dead of the ancient Egyptian.
We have been warned what it would be like in the latter part of the last days.
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it;
and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name:
and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Zechariah 5:1-4
The Anubis is not what this passage is referring to but it is close.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

The Fall of Tiger Woods
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Proverbs 5:1-13

A few years back, scientists were jumping for joy over the possible discovery of water on Mars.
Now they are over the moon with their confirmed discovery of water on the moon.
When will scientists ever catch up with the scientific revelation of God's truth from our Holy Bible?
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Psalm 148:4
<><><><><><><><>
Sometimes, it is just too funny for words when people in this world believe in the resurrection.
They just missed the true resurrection by such a wide margin that is unimaginable.
This cult leader who died left such great influence on his followers that they waited and prayed for months for his resurrection.
Unfortunately, this is not going to happen until after at least another one thousand years.
Of course, the police moved in to spare them of their agony.

This is indeed sad and tragic news where two teens fell to their death in a suicide pact to be resurrected and come back to this world as slayers to kill demons.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:4

Bible Believing Forums
In these day and age, Christians can now fellowship with one another over the Internet without being restricted by geographical boundaries.
We can also learn much from one another by studying the Holy Bible together in cyberspace.
Hence Bible forums become very popular where Christians have easy access to “talk” about every sundry issue under the sun.
Unfortunately, such forums often degenerate into boxing rings where Christians who are supposed to sharpen one another's iron to help one another fight the spiritual warfare
but they turn their weapons against each other instead and many get hurt as a result.
Notwithstanding, there are still some good King James Bible believing forums around.
Three months back, a forum had been launched to help Christians keep in fellowship and provoke another unto love and good work.
If you so desire to fellowship with some King James Bible believers, you may wish to pay a visit to this new forum.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Zechariah 5
1: Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2: And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
3: Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it;
and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4: I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name:
and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Joel 2
1: Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2: A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains:
a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3: A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them,
and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4: The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5: Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6: Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7: They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war;
and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9: They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10: The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Revelation 9
1: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2: And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3: And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4: And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5: And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6: And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7: And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle
and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8: And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9: And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10: And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11: And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Ordinary people have reasons to fear what Big Brother Government is going to do with the personal data of individuals it has accumulated over the years.
They feared being spied upon and information used against them.
But when will people really consider the data based of their every thoughts and acts from cradle to grave stored in heaven awaiting to be revealed to judge them one day?
Revelation 20
11: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works.
14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Likewise Christians must not forget about data of all their works from conversion to promotion to account for in that day of judgment.
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10
1 Corinthians 3
11: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12: Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13: Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;
and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14: If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15: If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Revelation 21
9: And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying,
Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10: And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11: Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12: And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14: And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15: And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16: And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17: And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18: And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19: And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20: The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz;
the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21: And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl:
and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22: And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23: And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24: And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25: And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26: And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

The God of the Chinese People
The ancient Chinese people knew the true and living God and worshipped the God of the Bible.
The Chinese language itself is a testimony of the Chinese people's knowledge of the God of Creation.
Ancient Chinese emperors were sons of heaven who led the Chinese people in the worship and sacrifice to the same God worshipped by true believers the world over.
It would be a mistake to assume that the Chinese are pagan savages where the knowledge of God is hidden from them for centuries.

How The Dead Bury The Dead

The book of Acts is a very important book for Christians to trace the historical record of the beginning of the Church.
The courage and faithfulness of those early disciples of Christ are examples for Christians in this day and age to emulate.
Five chapters are now available.
More chapters will be added progressively.
May the Lord bless the study of His holy words!

The Public Manifestation of the Sons of God is an event much longed for not only by the saints of all ages but all creatures on earth as well.
It is an event that will usher in the days of heaven upon the earth promised to the fathers of old.
However, Christians often fail to realise the true potential of their exalted status as sons of God in this life and
hence lose much time and energy in earthly pursuit that is not profitable for the souls.
May the child of God learn of this high title confers on him by the most gracious and benevolent God of Creation
who will bring in the Kingdom of heaven on earth when the Son of God from heaven returns to reign over all the earth.

The Millennia reign of Christ is a Bible doctrine that some Christians unfortunately deny when they allow their fallen mind to over-right
Biblical revelation on prophecies clearly pointing to a day where Christ will literally reign on earth for one thousand years.
This doctrine is clearly taught in the book of Revelation chapter twenty where some Christians insist that
the one thousand years mentioned six times are simply symbolic in nature and thus making the word of truth of none effect.
Unless we take Scriptures at face value, the gospel of our salvation could likewise be view as an allegory
simply teaching man to strife for humanity just to make this place a better world for all.

Casting Down Imaginations
Casting down imaginations is a New Testament commandment for Christians to obey.
The Bible reveals the tragic and rebellious nature of the minds of men and
hence the need for such a commandment to rein in the wil and depraved minds even for Christians who are saved by grace through faith.
Failure to do so can result in serious consequences where the child of God can become victim of Satan's manipulation causing him much harm and sorrows
<><><><><><><><>
The Reality of the Resurrection
The doctrine of the resurrection is taken as a theological fact. Unfortunately, this doctrine is hardly felt and appreciated by believers in Christ.
Even the disciples of old had trouble reconciling the present truth of the resurrection promised to them.
They misunderstood the timing and power of the resurrection and even viewed it as an unwanted and unnecessary interruption to their plans to reign with Christ during His earthly ministry.

What Are Ministers, their Ministries and Ministering
The terms "ministers", "ministries" and "ministering" can be quite confusing. They mean different thing to different people.
Modern day churches have all kinds of ministries with leaders given fanciful titles serving as ministers.
Ministering has lost its true meaning as revealed from Scriptures.
Anyone can organize church activities and install a man giving him a nice title to serve as a minister and he is in the business of ministering.
This book examines what these terms mean according to Scriptures in the New Testament.

The Biblical Second Mile Christian
The Second Mile Christian is an edifying book to show how a child of God can glorify God by walking the second mile for the Lord.
It is a discussion on the historical impact on those who are supposed to obey this commandment.
It also shows how Christians in our day may obey the principle in which this commandment is given to glorify the Lord.
Christians are not to be misled by the world when they use the precept of this second mile for personal gain.

Greater Is He That Is In You
This is a book from a sermon to correct the common misconception of 1 John 4:4 quoted ever so often in the wrong context.
The consequence of misapplying this verse can lead to tragedy for the recipients who are supposed to benefit from this promise.
Hence, Christians should take note of the context in which this verse is given and not to quote this verse frivolously that may mislead the person who needs help.

The Strange Work and Strange Act of God
The Holy Bible records many strange works and strange acts of God that mystify many Bible students.
This is book based on a sermon preached to show how God is in control of all circumstances though many servants of the Lord may be called upon to go through strange trials they cannot understand.
Hence, this book is to encourage the saints to trust in the Lord during times of strange trials.

The New Testament Pastor
The common use of the term “pastor” to refer to the man of God who is supposed to lead a church is taken for granted that there is New Testament injunction for such a practice.
How many Bible readers really check the New Testament to find out how many times the word “pastor” or “pastors” is recorded in the Bible?
The result may indeed come as a surprise to many who really bother to check. Do Christians actually investigate the usage of the term “pastor” or “pastors” as recorded in the Holy Bible?
Nowadays, the office of a “Senior Pastor” has become popular in many churches. Is there such an office documented in the Bible? Is a pastor an office title to begin with?
What does the New Testament has to reveal about pastors and how the early churches oragnised themselves are some of the main questions this book seeks to address.
