To all my British readers, the symbol of the Lamb and Flag must surely have been observed at some time or other. For example, there are no less than 27 Hotels, Inns, and Public Houses scattered around England and Wales bearing this name. Furthermore, our Cornish friends must be more than aware that the Lamb and Flag symbol is stamped on all the ingots of Tin that have been mined for centuries in what used to be called the Cassiterides, the “Tin Islands”, as the ancients called the Horn of England.

100. Warfare in the Heavenlies
In Revelation 12:4 we read that the Great Red Dragon drew one third of the stars of heaven to the earth with his tail. Almost with universal repetition, from one expositor to another, we are told that these “stars” are the fallen angels who followed Satan in his initial rebellion. I cannot understand why the application of a little simple logic has not put this error to death long since. Later in the same chapter we find Satan and his angels still in the heavens, not cast down to earth. It is only as a result of the heavenly warfare that they are finally dispatched to earth by Michael. [Read more…]
99. A Passionate Plea for Truth
Before saying anything else let me make one thing perfectly clear. The Almighty God, the Creator of the Universe, doesn’t need Arthur Eedle to canvass His character electronically across the globe, as though on some campaign trail. He is quite capable of looking after His own affairs, as He always has done, and always will do. Neither do I vainly imagine that He has set me up to act in this capacity. [Read more…]
98. “It never even entered my mind.”
Three times did the Lord utter these words to Jeremiah. On each occasion He was referring to the hideous, barbaric, and shameful practice of “passing one’s children through the fire to Molech.” [Read more…]

“Until He come whose right it is.”
Ezek.21:27
Years ago in Cincinnati,Handel’s “Messiah” was rendered by perhaps the greatest chorus on earth: Patti, then in her prime, was the leading soprano; Whitney, the bass; Theodore Toedt, the tenor; Carey, the alto; and this quartet was supported by more than four thousand voices. [Read more…]
96. A Whale of a Tale
In February 1891 a whaling ship by the name of Star of the East was in action in the South Atlantic, near the Falkland Islands. Whilst harpooning a large sperm whale, two of the sailors were knocked overboard. One of them was rescued from the high seas, the other disappeared. [Read more…]
95. One Helluva Hole
The following story was circulated in 1990 by M.E.Beirnes, the Editor of “The Midnight Cry”, an interdenominational and pre-millennial magazine which began in 1939. We received copies of TMC for some years, but have no idea whether it still operates. The story began in Volume 51, No. 4, April 1990, and continued in the June and July editions. In relating this story, extracts will be taken from the magazines before any comment is made. [Read more…]
