If Christianity is the ‘Fifth Kingdom’, then the implications for Christianity are as momentous as when Jesus Christ and his disciples preached the gospel to the Jews. The world, as the Jews knew it, was being turned upside down. The new covenant, promised in Jeremiah 31, had superseded the old Mosaic covenant. Behold, the days...
Jesus said; Have you never read in the Scriptures: “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes”? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. The one...

In my previous article, “As Clay in God’s Hands”, I ended with the question, “What makes clay soft?” The answer is simple, Water, of course! As long as clay contains water, it will remain soft; the amount of water determining the consistency of the clay. The amount of water is important, because a potter needs the...
