Jerusalem Pilgrimage: Episode 18 – Day 105-107

Dear Friends,

To continue my pilgrimage to Jerusalem we had to travel through 12 different countries in this episode.

Because I am still dealing with the aftermath of my injuries, my goal this time was to drive to Thessaloniki in Greece by car and from there to travel back to the Netherlands via Albania, Italy and Switzerland.

For our trip from Thessaloniki to Durrës we used the ‘Car Travel Tips’ of the booklet ‘Via Egnatia on Foot‘ (Part 1) of the ‘Via Egnatia Foundation‘. A very useful booklet with all kinds of useful and practical information.

We completed this journey in 13 days and covered more than 5500 km.

On this journey we had to endure a number of trials, but we also met some very special people, including Or Reis, an Israeli pilgrim in heart and soul.

Blessings Or and safe travels on your trip.

For an impression (starting with day 1) of my ‘Walk for Jesus’ you can also follow my ‘Pilgrim’s Corner‘ Instagram account.

I will keep you updated, Lord willing, of the next trip ….

Enjoy the route and the pictures I made of this trip below.

God bless!

Joni Eareckson Tada Reflects and Remembers September 11th

Dear Friends,

How do we respond to tragedies? How would Jesus respond?

As we remember the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, let us pray for God’s mercy on our nation. May he bring healing, peace, and unity in the midst of fear and divisiveness. And as followers of Jesus, may we point our nation to him as the source of all strength, comfort, and hope.

In the story of the tower of Siloam, where 18 people lost their lives, Jesus gave the answer to this question. An answer we can ponder today.

Blessings,

W.

Download my NEW book here for FREE, 3rd Edition

Dear friends,

No conspiracies, no false theories, no vain prophecies or brutal lies, just facts showing where the human race is headed in the years to come. Download my NEW book here for FREE.

Currently my book is only available in Dutch. I will also make it available for download here in English as soon as I finish the translation.

A ‘Christian Perspective on the Digital Age‘ addresses the challenges Christians face in our time. In the Bible book of Revelation, we read that there will come a time when no one will be able to buy or sell unless he or she has the mark, name, or number of the name of the beast.

These prophetic words of the apostle John are as relevant today as they were in his day. Are professing Christians in our day ready for this time? Are Christians watchful and do they understand the signs of the times? Do they (still) believe that the prophetic words in the Bible cannot be broken?

In this booklet I want to call on God’s people to understand the signs of the times and to work seriously on the calling to which the Lord Jesus has called each of us personally.

Let’s take care of each other and of the people in the world around us. While we still can, let us urge everyone to follow the savior of the world, Jesus Christ. After all, the Lord Himself has called us to do so.

Have a great day.

Blessings,

Walter

Theology of Suffering

Dear friends,

Within Christian theology there are many important themes that have a huge impact on people’s lives. But the most essential and at the same time least beloved is, in my opinion, the ‘Theology of Suffering‘. For years I’m struggling with this theology and exploring its impact on my own life.

Joni Eareckson Tada, founder and CEO of Joni and Friends International Disability Center, discusses the theology of suffering. She encourages us by explaining how suffering can be alleviated in ways that glorify God.

As Christians, we must learn to embrace our suffering in this world. If we don’t, we miss the core of the Christian message. Let us ask the Lord if we may understand in our lives what He means by His word to the Apostle Paul:

… ‘for my strength is made perfect in weakness’.

The Apostle Paul embraced suffering in his life and understood its value. He said:

“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

2 Corinthians 12:9b-10 (KJV)

Have a great day,

W.

LYRICS:

You never said I wouldn’t feel pain But You said that You’d be with me ‘til the end You never promised that I wouldn’t break But You promised that You’d be right there when I did

This world is broken and dark are the days But Your peace is spoken I’m not afraid

Even when the ground I’m standing on begins to shake You set my feet, You steady me Even when my heart feels like it’s tossed among the waves It won’t skip a beat, You steady me You steady, You steady, You steady me You steady, You steady, You steady me

There’s so much in life I won’t understand But Your ways are higher than my thoughts I could build my house on the sand But I’d rather build it on the rock When the light is fading When my mind is racing When my faith is shaking You steady, You steady me

True Freedom by strategic leadership Prof. dr. Bob de Wit

Dear Friends,

As Christians, we know that 2,000 years ago, true (spiritual and physical) freedom was bought for us only through the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ. But also in our human existence here on earth it is important that we fight for our democratic foundations in order to preserve our earthly freedoms.

“True Freedom” by strategic leadership Prof. dr. Dr Bob de Wit

After 75 years, freedom has never been more at stake than it is now. In less than 1.5 years our fundamental -and human rights in the most fundamental areas are at stake. Prof.dr. Bob de Wit has been committed to freedom from the start of this crisis and wrote a beautiful monologue that he previously recorded in Dutch and now also in English.

We at BLCKBX have produced the English version for him so that this message can also circulate outside Dutch waters, but of course with Dutch subtitles.

History lesson

Prof. dr. Dr Bob de Wit takes us on a journey through Dutch history. For example, “The placard of Verlatinge”, the brothers De Witt and Philip the 2nd pass in review from our national history. All events and key figures that played a role in the free trading nation that became the Kingdom of the Netherlands under the leadership of the VOC in the Golden Age.

But this was only possible after a revolution had taken place in which the incumbent elite had been replaced and the people themselves seized power. De Wit alludes here to an inescapable changing of the guard, in which citizens have to anticipate again what role they will play and in which society they want to live.

God bless,

W.

So what about Biblical History Charts & Timelines? – Part 1

Dear Friends,

Statistics from this website show that one of the most read articles on my blog is this post (first published on October 10, 2017) about the biblical end-time scenario. That’s not surprising, because it’s about the global events that are happening right now.

That is why I have decided to repost this article with more information. Enclosed you will now find the complete video series of the book: ‘What On Earth Is About To Happen For Heavens Sake?‘.

Are Biblical History Charts & Timelines important?

Yes, … I think they are! They make understanding our history and the future of mankind so much easier. I seriously recommend the following two timelines to everyone who studies and reads the Bible. In my opinion the best around.

The first one is the ‘Bible World View of History’ chart. Click here for a big size pdf (416 KB).

And the second one is the ‘Longevity Chart from Adam to Joseph’. Click here for a big size pdf (523 KB).

DVD series

You also might consider buying Dr. Kent Hovind’s DVD WOE (What On Earth Is About To Happen) series. Have a look at his intruduction to this new DVD series in the video below.

Online videos
