Daren continues our series on Genesis. This week he is speaking on Genesis 11. His topic is "God of Abram" Transcript Oh, yeah, don't say, well, we really participated in the fact you've both, haven't we? Well, thinking of saints, it turned out that, as you know, we're speaking on Genesis for the moment, that there is and was a saint from Saint Genesius. And it's not very much like Genesis. Now, yeah, look at that. I don't think that was a celery, though. Now, do you have a look at that picture there? It was a patron saint of something. What do you think he was looking through? Saint Paul, as for his greatest actors, actors. Now, on that note, I've got very deep theological questions, you guys, to think about. Are you ready? It's with the same thing. Oppenheimer or Barbie? What did you know? What did you know? It was great, then. It turned out a good book, and I'm Oppenheimer fans. You know, I'm a chair, I've got a kid. What, Barbie? Oh, oh, good day to see you, baby. I've got a little bit more of it. Well, the reason I say that is, I think you will wear it down and go with it, so don't worry if it will open together. Well, lastly, of course, was the Oscars. And there was a lot of talk in the answers about women or movies. In fact, at the birthdays, a week before, he wrote a poem he said, when he was giving his presentation, he probably said, he brought great, one of the people who loved us and then he would have read. Anyway, he was at the birthdays, and he said, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa. Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa. Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa. Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa, Oompa. Most of these films were frankly too long. LAUGHTER And you can watch the Oppenheimer these three hours. It's three hours. Barbie's nearly two hours. And if you watch that, it's a flowers of the kind of the news in his course, and you go, that's three and a half hours. They're talking about bringing back into missions in the syllabus. Remember those? I don't know. I think they're on this stage now. You know, I can really think of these missions. But if you remember, you'd expect to come out and go there with your screens. OK. But do you know what? Since COVID and lockdowns, viewing habits have changed, doesn't it? And to be honest, do you think you've washed up? Yeah. Do you think you're going there? Absolutely correct. We tend to binge watch things, don't be one. Lots of screen sets. And the reason I'm saying that is because I'm going to content to you that Genesis, chapter one to 11, are like series one of a box set. And chapter 11, which we're looking at today very shortly, is the final episode with a clear item. And most of the erosions and stories will tell you that is actually the structure of Genesis. But first, 11 chapters are of a certain series if you like. Everything changes next week. Next week is the first episode of series. How many series in Genesis? I don't know. Maybe two or three. But today we've got the final episode of series one, really, that shouldn't be clear at the end. But think about that. Some of it I read recently, but apparently, to read the entire book of Genesis in one day would take three and a half hours. So maybe, if you're thinking about each week we've been looking at one chapter at a time, maybe what you want to go to today, you might want to binge and read Genesis. It might be about three and a half hours. Well, before we go any further, I'd like my good friends Chris, who's going to read Genesis 11 for us. And this is Genesis 11, and it's from 1 to 32. The first bit's going to be easy. He's talking about the Tarah of Babel. Now, the Tarah of Babel. Now, the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastwards, they found a plane in Sheena and set them there. They said to each other, come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly. They used bricks instead of stone and tar for mortar. Then they said, come, let us build ourselves a city. With a tower that reaches to the heavens so that we make a name for ourselves and not to be scattered over the face of the whole earth. But the Lord came down to the city and the tower and that the men were building. The Lord said, if, as one people speaking the same language, they begin to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so that they will not understand each other. So the Lord scattered them from there over the earth and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel. Because they're the Lord confused the language of the whole world, from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Now, this is where it gets interesting. From Shem to Abram. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of a fraxed. And after he became the father of a fraxed, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters. When a fraxed had lived 35 years, he became the father of Sheila. And after he became the father of Sheila, a fraxed lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters. When Sheila had lived 30 years, he became the father of Iba. And after he became the father of Iba, Sheila lived 400 years and had other sons and daughters. When Iba had lived 34 years, he became the father of Pelic. No, I won't lie. I did think about saying peg leg, but then that's fine. I actually got to the hang of this. And after he became the father of Pelic, Iba lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters. When Pelic had lived 30 years, he became the father of Roo. And after he became the father of Roo, Pelic lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters. When Sirogh had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nihor, and he became the father of Nihor. Sirogh lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters. When Nihor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Tira. And after he became the father of Tira, Nihor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters. After Tira had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nihor and Haran. This is the account of Tira. Tira became the father of Abram, Nihor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. While his father Tira was still alive, Haran died in the Ur of the Shaldines, in the land of his birth. Abraham and Nihor married, both married. The name of Abraham's wife was Sirea, and the name of Nihor's wife was Millech. She was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milka and Isuka. Now Sirea was barren. She had no children. Tira took her, his son, Abram. Abram, his grandson, Lot of Haran, and his daughter-in-law, Sirea, the wife of his son, Arabim. And together, they set out for the Ur of the Shaldines to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there. Tira lived 200 years, and he died in Haran. Well done. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you so much. It was really well done. So I'm just wondering, how do you understand this? A little bit deeper into what I've been trying to say for us, we've given the system earlier, and just kind of setting my story. I want to just put the idea to your sacred space, holy ground, if you want. And because I believe with all the exciting stuff that's going on here, MCA, particularly, thinking about the development of 146, what do I've got these important to say about these projects and what about this individually? Because if we go back to the next slide of it, if we go back to Genesis 11, it's really a story of two hearts. You've got the Tower of Babel, first of all. And the treaty story, which is actually a flashback, we'll see in a little bit. And it's almost like a bit like one of those trying thrillers where something happens and I think they jump in time and go look at that in a minute. But there's really, really interesting ideas about that. And, but, can you just say, well, if you're not important to all things, that might hurt. And, but, I want to be about sacred space in really, really important. I've got this picture on the screen, and we've got a picture on the left there of quite a traditional church. It might be a Catholic church, or when you go to a very traditional church, it might be a Catholic church, or a Catholic church, you're often confronted with the baptismal font. And the reason that's there is because of the first thing you see when you walk in, it's baptism. Because the view there is, it speaks at baptism, speaking of the Christian church. That's why you see that. And often, it's furniture, bits and bobs, in a sacred space. Speak and tell about what we believe and something about God. On the right-hand side, you've got a really high artist. You might have heard these Russian six feet of our conviction. And, but, you know, the, the personal of those is to say, the priest's word is really, really, really important. But, what does this space say about God? What do you say about God? So, we're going to talk. So, I don't even want to quite, I don't even want to walk it on this way, because, and I can hear, just over a year, so I might be able to see this, when perhaps fresh wine is loaded. So, what really come into this workplace, the first thing you see is always a lot of information about the Lord and you, there's a lot of your knowledge of this space. You usually get the work on a tiny one, but you usually throw me cards. And, that tells you the things that can flow on the world. So, even by the day, just don't look for it on the front, and the next thing you see is, front and centre, But this version space, what does that tell you? It will tell you the question here, it really, really wants to pray the Lord in his coming. It's by your dear, the fact that it's by your and in your cup, I don't think we can agree with some of our politicians, but we think about that a lot. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. But this is from the center. If people know they don't go wrong, we get to this clear podium that we don't want to call it. And quite unusual why you want to sometimes, because it's clear, what does that say about God and what God will believe? Might like to pretend that it's transparent. We don't hide. We're authentic. You can see there's no hiding behind any wooden box here. What you see is what you get. I'm going to take you a little bit further to my favorite thing in this whole building. And that's this cross there. We often sit at this part of the church and sometimes, you know, just stare and look at that. And I wonder what's your favorite picture on there. But what does that say? Well, to me, you can quite clearly see each of those timers be made by children. Not quite clearly says that children are welcomed here and valued here. So all of these things in this sacred space, tell us about who we are, what we believe and what we think about God. What we think about God. So getting back to Genesis 11 then, I mentioned that it was a kind of like a throwback. It's almost like a thinking back to a previous time. But if you have a look at this life, there's this talk about the people being spread out and scattered on lots of different languages. And it was great to hear those this morning. But then suddenly you have this story of Babel. So this baby really is the story of almost like thinking back to something that happened a little bit earlier. But there's some really interesting ideas about this story. It's quite kind of widely accepted that the tower of Babel was what they call a ziggurat, which is like a rectangular tower. Think of like a wedding cake with lots of levels. And it starts off with a big level and it gets higher and higher and higher. But the idea is that people would not go up this tower to worship. The idea is that God would hopefully come down. Priest would maybe take some food up there. There would be a bed at the top. But what does that say about God? You know, let's just keep God way higher there at a distance. Maybe God doesn't really care about us. He's up there in evidence. And you see, you know, because we heard a few weeks ago in Genesis 3 that people had lost their access to the presence of God and they would long to get it back perhaps. If you're a bit of historian, you might have heard of Josephus. And in his antiquities to the Jews in Chapter 4, he reckons that this tower was built by Nimrod, son of Ham, grandson of Noah. And the reason Nimrod wrote it, built it according to Josephus, was because he thought, do you know what? If God is going to flood the earth again, I want some way to run and hide and take my boat here. Absolutely, yeah. He was wrong because God said he wasn't going to judge the world in that way again. Others say, well, perhaps this passage is all about an explanation of why we've got so many different languages and I'm sure it is. And on that note, what do you think about this? Well, yeah, exactly. What language were we actually speaking? Glory. A friend of mine, a preacher of friends, used to say, well, of course, the version of Scripture is going to be the King James Version in Heaven. But who knows? Who knows? But what does our most trusted source say to Scripture itself? Let's have a look. So thank you, Chris, for reading that. Let's have a look at these verses one to nine, the Tower of Babel. And it turns out there's actually structure in this passage for those who care to look a little bit closer. This happens quite a lot in Hebrew literature. And it starts off, if you look at verses one and two, it kind of linked to verses eight and nine. But the opposite way around. So in verse one, you start up with one language and people are coming together in one place. And then in verses eight and nine, you've got many languages and people are scattered. So it's the same, but the opposite in reverse. Then you come into verses three and four, and then they link up to six and seven. So the three and four of the people spoke, verses six and seven, God spoke. So this is a bit like, you know, there's really posh restaurants you go to where you've got your plate and loads of knives and forks. Where do you start? Where you start on the outside and you work your way in. And the most important bit is right in the middle. The Lord came down. This is the punchline, if you like. This is the punchline. This is the whole point of this passage, I believe. In fact, this particular structure of Scripture is called a chiasm named after the Greek letter X. And I like the thought there that that is Jesus there right in the center of that spiritual. Or you could say X marks the spot. The Lord came down. That was a central idea. But wasn't that a good thing? The Lord came down. Wasn't that the point? Wasn't that what they wanted? They built this tower and they wanted God to come down. So what's been wrong? Well, I think we need to get back to the previous verse. Let's have a look at that. The people came together and said, let us build ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens so that we might make a name for ourselves. Oh, doesn't seem to be anything much wrong without this. Isn't it a good thing to make a name for ourselves? Maybe. Maybe not. Oh, who's that? Yeah. A couple of years ago I got a job in a particular school in Sheffield and I was really, really proud when they had my photo taken and you can see my classroom there just through the door there and you can tell how proud I was about this. The fact that I still got a photo of it. And what was amazing was outside one door, there's my name, Mr. Darren Craddock, head of computing. Brilliant, there's my name on the door at the top of my game when they're to set up this computing department. I'm absolutely really, really proud about that. But that thing's always wrong for me. And by the end of that year I ended up being signed off for mental and physical health really. And even though from my point of view, this was it. This was the peak of my career. I even got one day on the door with a photo. My name, I think it all went wrong for me. In fact, during that time I even had an eye surgery, a cataract surgery on my right eye. It's kind of weird. I've got a contact lens in this eye. It's kind of a normal eye of this if you like. So when I take my contact lens out at night, on the long side of here, the short side of there is kind of weird perspective on life. But even during, after that procedure, the eye pressure, my eye went sky high. Apparently your eye pressure is meant to be between 10 and 20 whatever those numbers mean. Mine went up to 50 and I could have lost my sign. But I'm just going to think to take you back like a story within the story. When I sat there for this eye surgery, it was in Barbara, this amazing place. And there was three of us men. I was youngest by far, all waiting for this pretty scary eye operation really. If ever you had that, you know what I mean. It only takes 12 minutes to do this surgery, but you lie back in the theatre. Your eyes can't open. A bright light shines on it and your lenses removed. I won't go into details. And you have a new one, a fidget. So before this operation, there's three of us guys sat there. The guy on my left, his flick was bouncing up and down. You know how men do. And I was sat there. But in front of us were these two nurses. And there was a male nurse and a female nurse. And they were talking to us really calmly. Putting our drops in our eyes, making sure we got the right eye. And going from one to the other. And we would sit there, trying to, lots and lots of eye drops. And the guy who was talking to me said, he's doing anything this weekend, sir. I said, well, actually, yeah. I said, all being well with my eye, I'm leading a service and preaching at my local church. And he goes, oh, that's really good. And he said, my wife's daddy is the church minister. And that's my wife there, the other nurse. Oh, wow. And then if that wasn't really good, the man to my heart. The man to my right leaned over and put his hand at my shoulder and said, hey, brother, I'm a Christian soon. I thought, wow, we've got a list of congregations right here. And it made me realize that sacred space can be wherever you find it. Sacred space can be wherever you make it. I like to go to the gym in Chris, who read this morning. Go to the same gym. And Chris, I've not asked his permission to share this. Sorry, Chris. But something that Chris does. If you know what gyms are like, they often have a change with lots of lockers. And what Chris would do, once he's finished his workout, he'll leave a gospel tract in the locker. So who knows what might find out. So even the smelly stinky men's gym locker could be sacred space. Sacred space is when you find it. Sacred space is where you make it. And I sometimes think that if you really want to find holy ground, if you want to see a burning bush, you've got to spend some time in the wilderness. So that was part of my story. Going back to my school, it was so off of me, and I handed in my notice with no job to go to. But I'm always to pay, you know, but a wife and doctor for you, you know, and... Actually, and that sort of thing. But I handed in my notice with no job to go to, but it was the right thing to go. This was right at the end of the school year. If you know how schools work, you can only really apply at certain points of the year. This was sort of June time. And then God miraculously provided a job for me, not ahead of computing, but temporary teacher of computing. I thought, I almost didn't go through it. My wife could have killed me. Of course you've got to go through it. But I went for the job and got it. And then during the summer holiday, just before this job started, I thought, I'd go into school, be really keen and tidy up the computer room. Teacher's company quite messy, sorry. I went in. And anyway, I was walking around the room. And the first thing you come to in my classroom is this little cupboard. You can see it like a kitchen unit with all computer stuff. And I opened this cupboard, and there was this teaching resource there, as you can see. And I took it out. I thought that looks familiar. I gave you a closer look. And it says, down product, 2008. That's me. So I can only presume that where they bought this at this school, 14 years previously, and it's probably been in the cupboard ever since. And it was almost like, you know, God was saying, you know, your name might not be in the front of the classroom door anymore. But I've tucked it away here in this humble place, because this is where I want you to be. I'm going to show you a couple of more quick photos of my classroom. I took these a couple of weeks ago. On the left is just above my teacher's workstation. You see what is there by Bible scripture. You see on the other picture, looking out for the windows, there's a cross. And in all of our classrooms, we have a cross, because there's somebody else's name on the door. There's somebody else's name glorified. And even better, this is the score logo. Now, I'm going to have that. I'm going to try and torture the French. It's in French. And it's, ah. I mean, I never know if it's, ah. Well, ah, like a sign. Ah, that's it. Yeah. But if I have a go, it's ah. Keena Bonne de Bongeur. And the score motto is, ah. How good is the good God? Isn't that great? So, it's not my name and majority of somebody else's. Somebody else's. So, let's go back to our scripture. You see, the builders really wanted to make a name for themselves. They wanted to make a name for themselves. Not always wrong in itself, but can be, certainly in my case. But when I started to dig into the scripture a little bit deeper, I was really taken with that word name. Now, I want you to keep your eyes, if you can, on the word names, because I thought, let's have a look at the Hebrew. I'm not a Hebrew scholar or anything like that. Once very carefully, when I go to the next slide, it says that we might make a shimmer ourselves. We go back, look, name. One's of technology, name. And, in fact, if you have a look, you can see this on Bible gateway or whatever, look at the Orthodox Jewish Bible. And it says that we may make a gem for themselves. I think you look down at the very end of the Tower Babel, verse 10, this is a count of Shem's family name, a line. It turns out, Shem means name. And I wonder, it might just be me, that God is saying, not your name is my name. And it's my family name. They tried to make a name for themselves, but God said, no, not your name, my name. And the rest of Genesis 11, if you follow the story down, you go down from Shem and it ends as we heard at Abraham. And that is, that is the kind of like cliffhagger at the end of Genesis 11. Well, I'm going to give you a spoiler. Because if you turn to the very beginning of the New Testament, the story continues. This is the genealogy of Jesus and Messiah. The son of David, son of Abraham. And it goes on, Father David, David was the father of Solomon and so on. Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah. I wonder if that's the reason why the Tower of Babel story is right there. Yes, of course it's about the languages. But remember the punchline, X marks the spot. That's where the treasure is. God's saying, it's not about your name. It's about my name. And I wonder if God is saying in Scripture, I will make a ship. I will make a ship. I'll make a name, but not in the way that you would imagine. Because it's not going to be through a building. It's going to be through a body. It's not going to be through a tower, but it's going to be through a tree. It's not going to be through confusion, but it's going to be through crucifixion. It's not going to be through religion, but it's going to be through relationship. It's not going to be through sacrifices, but it's going to be through his spirit. It's not going to be through our power or our performance, but it's going to be through a person. It's not through anything that we can do, but it's through what he has done. It's not through our skill, but it's through his salvation. It's not through our goodness, but it's through his grace, and it's not through our name, but it's his name, Jesus, Savior, Emmanuel, God with us. You know, a couple of weeks ago, I was teaching a group of year tens, I teach computer science, and there was three lads who were all having a bit of a chat together, and that it was getting quite heated, and they were all talking about heaven and hell, and perfectly, of course, it's a Catholic story, and about his men all sorts. Now, they were supposed to be getting on with their coding, but I always let that slide, and I'm more than happy for those conversations to go on. Now, as I was walking around, one lad who I know, he's a believer, caught me over, he says, sir, sir, and I went over, I thought he was going to ask me about his computer program, and he said, sir, he said, you can ask you a question, and I said, yeah, you dream dreams. And then this young lad, 15 years old, said, what he said in Joel, in the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Yeah. I guess I'll have to take that one on the chin, one side. Yeah. But he got me thinking, he got me thinking, this young lad, 15 year old, in a class of a couple of weeks before I was speaking, Joel. So I turned to Acts chapter two, where we read about Pentecost, and when the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place, how stable. And suddenly a sound like the blurring of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. God came down. And they saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest with each of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled him. Now they were staying in Jerusalem, God's fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. And when they heard this sound, the crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them in their own language, utterly amazed, they said, I know all these men who were speaking Gathalains, and how is it that each of us hears them in that very native language. So where there was confusion, now there's understanding. And then Peter, Peter stood up and he addressed the crowd and said, yeah, they're not drunk as you imagine. And then Peter says, this is what was spoken by the Prophet Joel. In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit and all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams, even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy, and I will show wonders in their heaven above. So from a 15 year old boy, the Pentecost, no longer confusion but understanding. So what, so what can we say about this? Well, I just wonder whether as we're thinking about the building work that's going on in 146, everything that happens here, maybe it's a ministry that we've got. Maybe sometimes we need to accept our own hearts and just to say, Lord, am I, is this about making a name for me rather than the name for you, Lord? How far are we allowing God to establish his presence and his purposes among his people in his way, on his terms and for his glory? And I wonder if we have or have had any attitudes or actions that might get in the way of God's purposes and presence, that might confuse the scatter instead of bringing peace and unity and blessing. And I wonder also about this because Jesus said, when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen. Then your father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Well, we've been talking about sacred space as a corporate place. I wonder, maybe if this is a holy place, just when you get home, just close your room, just you and the Lord. And it doesn't even matter what you say. There's a famous quotation where an interviewer wants to approach Mother Teresa, who is now a saint trying for them, and who prayed a lot. An interviewer said, Mother Teresa, when you pray, what do you say to God thinking it was going to be something amazing? And Mother Teresa apparently said, well, I don't say anything, I just sit and listen. And the interviewer, I think, you know, being clever, said, well, what does God say? Mother Teresa said, well, he doesn't say anything, he just sits and listens to you. What about this? Saint Paul says in Corinthians, do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you've received from God. You're not your own. You know that. You've been brought with a very expensive price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. So, what do our lives say about God, about who we are, what we believe and who God is? What do our homes say? What do our workplaces say? You know, when I get into work now, it's, I used to get quite early, we're going to the gym, it's cheaper at the clock, but I'm usually in quarter to seven, and one of the first things I did was I walk around my sacred space, my classroom, and I pray, and God is always there. So, you know, I perhaps even look up the cross, the cross, and I say, Lord, I welcome you here today. I pray your blessing on all the children in my hair, in here, and, you know, just welcome you here, and then I walk around and I say the Lord's prayer, because my place of work, you know, it's work, and I'm looking forward to the holidays coming up, but it's a sacred space. It's holy ground up. Maybe I should take off my shoes next time. So, we are temples of the Holy Spirit, and because God just wants to be with us, because that's all he desires, in revelation we've been hearing about revelation, and it says, John says, look, God's dwelling place is now among the people, he will dwell with them, they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God. I've really finished, but just some thoughts to bring to your close. I want to invite the musicians. I wonder, up in the moment, would you? Yeah, go for that one. I'm going to actually take us right back to, you know, where we started, and I realise that I've forgotten the story, that picture, that might come back in a minute, I've realised I've forgotten to tell a story which I'm going to share, think about sacred space, because it's just going to link up with this. Remember that picture I showed you earlier about the really tall palm pimp, and I can't believe I missed out on that story, so I'll share it, it's worth sharing. So, about 30 years ago, I was invited to go and preach in every year, this really old Baptist Church, and my wife Judith and I went, so it was an old friend of mine, a preacher friend who couldn't make that the appointment, so he asked me. So, this was in June, 30 years ago, in this really ancient Baptist Church, it looked like an old kind of Anglican Paris Church, and as my wife and I arrived, the whole congregation was outside, the youngest must have been 83, but they were there really excited, you know, and they welcomed us, and as soon as we went in, the first thing you could see was this great big pop which I was going to be preaching from, so anyway, a bit later when I went up there, right next to it was the Baptist history, is baptism equally important, now I'm terrified of heights, which I've not very tall, but we've grown up this and looking down, but anyway, at the start of the service, all the ladies seemed to kind of usher my wife to one side, and some of the older gentlemen said, said, down a bit, let's go and pray, and they took me to, this was a side room with all these refugee teachers, and they were the little chair, and we always sat down to pray, and as we sat down all the old men in unison all got up their chairs, and they went to kneel down to pray, and it was when we were praying, I suddenly felt on this day floor that she feels quite comfortable, as I looked down and looked to my left and to my right on these flag stones, you could see a little kneel, that knee shape indentation on these flag stones, and I thought, how many decades of kneeling in prayer in that speaker, I just had to share that story, and so I'm not a kid position waiting for that much longer, but coming back to where I started, thinking about fame and actors, their name, have a look at this, I'm sure you're familiar with, you know, when actors, when they get famous, and they get their name on the Hollywood walk, and having a look at those photos, and I think it's quite interesting to see their position where they are, and I want to share with you, I suppose a sort of personal thing, and maybe like a sort of tip, if you like, for anybody who has any ministry or preaching, and something that I do, because when you're preaching at the end of a service or leading a service, people always come up to you, and they say, well done, you know, that was really good, what would you do with that? Is that pride to accept that? Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, and I'll note that I'll do that today, is you just accept the praise, and the thanks in good faith, and you might say, well did he God speak to you, and then when I get home, I will go and shut the bedroom door on my knees, and say, you know what Lord, all those praises are yours, and you remember that glorious vision in Revelation 4, when there's a rainbow circling the throne, the surrounding that throne were the 24 elders, and they were dressed in white and had crowns of gold in their heads, and they bowed down, and gave those crowns before the living God, so maybe, maybe that is the most sacred space, on your own, on your knees, is for the name that is above all names. So then invite the musicians, if you want one to start sort of playing to me, and give us a moment just to respond, because it's worth responding. Maybe as you're sat, you might want to sit and just listen to what, maybe chew on what you've heard. Just thinking about whose name is on your, your door. Are there any attitudes in our life that we've had? Maybe we've been quite happy to keep God in our pockets. Maybe we've been happy to keep God at arms length high up in the sky out of the reach, just on a Sunday. Maybe it's time to come close. And maybe there's, some of us, there's been confusion in lives in the scattering. Maybe you're here because you're confusing, you've been scattered. Maybe life has been hard for you, and God has felt far away. Maybe this morning, if not physically on your knees, then just quieting your heart is near before the name that is above all names, because in his name there is no more confusion. He will bring beauty for action. He will bring healing from illness and pain. For those who have been depressed, the suffering from depression, can arise easily. He can bring that calm and that peace. The age of us, as we've been out before our hearts, and we remember the Shems, the name, the name of all names. Because God has exalted him to the highest place, and given him the name that is above every name, that of the name of Jesus, every dish about, in heaven and on earth, and of under the earth, and every tongue confess, that Jesus is Lord.

Last time we spoke about the Qing - Boxer siege of Beijing and the 8 nation alliance expedition led by Seymour. Baron Von Ketteler was murdered by Kansu soldiers, ushering in a real siege of the foreign legation's in Beijing. The situation was dire, communications were cut and soon the railways also. The foreign ministers called for aid and thus came an expedition of 8 nations led by Seymour to the rescue. Seymours expedition started out quite well, but soon the Boxers disrupted the tracks stopping them in…well their tracks. To the dismay of the westerners it turned out the Qing were joining the Boxers in battle against them and Seymour's force had to make a fighting withdrawal back to Tientsin. They fought all the way to a secret arsenal where they dug in, until another relief force rescued them! Now they all marched back to Tientsin as gunfire could be heard. #63 The Boxer Rebellion part 3: The Siege of Tientsin & Battle of the Taku Forts Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about the history of Asia? Kings and Generals have an assortment of episodes on history of asia and much more so go give them a look over on Youtube. So please subscribe to Kings and Generals over at Youtube and to continue helping us produce this content please check out www.patreon.com/kingsandgenerals. If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. When Seymour set out on his expedition a lot of events had unfolded. I mentioned it a few times, but gunfire could be heard by his expeditionary forces coming from Tientsin. When thousands of Boxers began storming the region looking to kill christians and foreigners, many flocked to Tientsin. Tientsin consisted of two adjacent but quite different subdivisions. To the northwest was an ancient high walled chinese city around 1 mile per side. 2 miles southeast along the Hai River were the foreign settlements around half a mile wide. The chinese city held around a million Chinese, the foreign settlements around 700 foreign civilians with their thousands of Chinese servants. The Boxers came at first to the railway station carrying placards and chain letters stating “Those who see this sheet and distribute six copies will deliver a whole family from calamity. If ten sheets are circulated they will save an entire district. If any see this hand-bill and fail to disseminate it they will certainly be beheaded.” Within mere hours of Seymour's expedition departing, reinforcements were landed at Taku to head over to the foreign settlements at Tientsin to defend them. On June 11th, Commander Beatty of the Royal Navy had 150 sailors, marines and 2 Maxim machine guns with him. He would be joined a few days later by 1600 Russians who rushed to the scene from Port Arthur, before their railway lines were cut by Boxers. Alongside the other nations forces, Tientsin had roughly 2400 troops to defend the foreign settlements, facing a force of 30,000 Boxers and 15,000 Qing soldiers camped nearby. On June 15th the Boxers began burned down all the missions outside the Chinese city like the Notre Dame Des Victories. They stormed the streets attacking Chinese christians, massacring as they went. They destroyed all christian and foreign goods or property they could find. The foreigners in the settlement watched this unfold in horror from a distance, then at 2am on the 16th they were attacked. Beatty recalled seeing Boxers “came in great strength, setting fire to all the Houses and outlying Villages they could. . . . They came on quite heedless of the Volleys we opened on them, never replying because the poor beggars had no arms to reply with, and coming up to within 300 and 400 yards armed with swords, spears, and torches. So there we squatted, knocking them over as they came along.” Chaos ensued in Tientsin, as the Admirals on their warships off the Taku Fort bar became more and more anxious. The western navies had received no word since June 10th, Tientsin was clearly under attack and Seymours expedition force was gone. Seymours last message to them came on the 14th and all evidence suggested the Boxers and Qing would block the way between them and Tientsin. The Qing naval forces were seen priming torpedo tubes on their warships and laying mines in the rivers mouth. The entire situation looked like a trap. If the Peiho river was closed, the naval squadrons would be unable to rush up it to rescue the civilians of Tientsin and Beijing. On the 16th the Admirals met aboard the Russian flagship. They all formed a multinational ultimatum that was issued to the Qing, the Taku forts had to be surrendered by 2am the next day or they would attack. A russian officer was sent to deliver the message to the Taku Fort commander who responded “I would be glad to surrender the Forts, but I am here to obey orders”. The French consul general in Tientsin then took it upon himself to telephone the local viceroy and advised him to surrender the Taku Forts or face the consequences. The Admirals knew their actions were tantamount to declaring war on China and that taking the Taku Forts would not be easy. The Taku Forts were 4 forts with pairs of 2 on each side of the river mouth. They had been recently rebuilt and reinforced by German engineers. The walls were made of mud mixed with chopped straw, which might sound silly, but this made them impervious to shell fire. Their garrison was around 3000 men, equipped with quick firing Krupp guns and other heavy pieces. Approaching from the sea was the most hazardous and would see men fighting through oozing mud flats surrounded by sharpened stakes. The Qing Navy held 4 new German built destroyers equipped with rapid fire guns patrolling near the forts. To attack them by land was also not favorable it would see men clamoring over small canals, irrigation works and behind the forts were the Boxer infested towns of Tongku and Taku. Another issue was the Taku mud bar, it only allowed shallow water vessels to pass, the allied navies only had 9 ships that could pass; 3 British ships the HMS Algerine, Fame and Whiting; the German Iltis; Russian Gilyak, Bobr and Koreytz; French Lion and Japanese Atago. 900 men consisting of 380 British, 300 Japanese, and the rest Russian, Austrian and Italian were loaded aboard the 9 ships as the allies, we shall call them that from now on for simplicity by the way, awaited the deadline on June 16th for the Qing to respond. All the warships arranged their broadsides aimed at the Taku forts with a bombardment order to commence at 2am if the Qing did not respond. However the Qing did respond, by opening fire at 12:50, as a eye witness recalled ““A shell shrieked over the Algerine in unpleasant proximity to her topmasts”. To this 7 of the 9 allied ships opened fire. The Russian gunboat Gilyak made the poor decision of turning her searchlight, turning her immediately into the most prominent target, she was nearly sunk by shell fire. The HMS Fame and Whiting pulled in close trying to capture the Qing destroyers and within the mayhem the two ships managed to slip upstream abreast of the 4 Qing destroyers. At Lt Keyes aboard the Fame recalled “The shells were literally shrieking around us; several fell just short and splashed muddy water right over us; several pitched just over; we really had a charmed existence.” The British destroyers cast out whaler ships holding dozens of men to board the Qing destroyers. The British sailors and marines boarded the Qing destroyers with ease, capturing all 4 without firing a shot and receiving no casualties. Lt Keyes gave explicit orders to hit men not to fire upon the Qing who were in the process of escaping up the riverbank. Meanwhile the Russian gunboat Korietz was severely damaged by the opening salvo; the Monocacy despite being at quite a distance holding many women and children aboard took a far flung shell to her bow, luckily not hurting anyone. The Qing fort guns were very accurate managing hits on the HMS Whiting, SMS Iltis, French Lion and Giliak was forced to ground herself lest she be sunk. Giliak had 18 deaths and 65 wounded. Meanwhile at 3am landing parties began their advance upon the forts, struggling through thick mud. The first fort was on the north bank and the landing forces came at it with bayonets pointed. British and Japanese troops were the first to scale its walls and they were even racing another. British officer Cradock recalled “I was frantic at the idea of the Japanese getting in first; they were very keen and in better condition than anyone else.” The union jack was soon hoisted followed by the rising red sun, the defenders of the Fort made a symbolic defense, but fled quickly. As the men cheered, suddenly two Qing soldiers burst out of a gateway 20 yards away with bayonets fixed firing their rifles as they marched forward from the hip. A Lt emptied his revolver at them and pulling out his sword to defend himself. The allied troops raced towards the second fort on the northern bank as allied shells struck its walls. The air was filled with dust and smoke as the Qing soldiers fired their guns until the last minute upon which they fled. There was to be barely a need to seize the southern forts. The Qing commander was seen galloping away on a white horse and as the Shanghai Mercury put it “The forts were a mass of ruins, rivers of blood, with headless and armless bodies everywhere, which the blue-jackets were gathering together and cremating in heaps.” The allied troops in the northern forts turned their guns on the southern forts. One shot hit a powder magazine exploding a part of the southern fort walls, creating a large fire. Through the smoke and dust the Qing defenders could be seen abandoned the forts. By 6:30am the battle of the Taku fort was done. By 8am many of the allied troops were coming back aboard their ships, the allies had suffered 172 casualties. Rivers of blood were seen around the forts. The survivors of the carnage aboard ships or the forts ate tinned beef, salmon and ship biscuits reflecting on their good fortune to be alive. With only 9 ships the allies had secured the mouth of the river. All in all it was a brave action helped considerably with some luck. Many questioned its necessity as it undoubtedly would increase the attacks upon the foreign legations in Beijing. Herbert Hoover recalled “it was this act of aggression which marked the downfall of the moderate party in Peking, unmasked the gigantic plot of the powerful party behind the Boxers, and turned the Government over definitely into their hands . . . no more favorable moment could have been chosen by our Admirals to precipitate a general massacre.” At the same time it was happening, MacDonald had been sending assurances to Empress Dowager Cixi that Britain wished to remain on friendly terms with China. Cixi was literally receiving reports of the attack on the Taku Forts as MacDonald's letters came in and when he found out he wrote “this would put the old buddha in a good temper”. Back over in Tientsin's foreign settlement, people could hear the loud gunfire coming from the Taku Forts. At 8am Tientsins foreign community received word the Taku Forts had been taken and now all wondered what would happen next. As recalled by Lou Hoover in Tientsin “All the forenoon at Tientsin there was an ominous silence, nothing doing on either side, each waiting for the other to play the next card, neither knowing the result of the attack at Taku, and yet both sides knowing that now we were committed to a war, if not with China itself, with Northern China and the Manchu Dynasty.” At 3pm Qing artillery began to open fire upon the foreign settlements. Shells were hissing overhead, explosions followed everywhere. An alarm bell began to ring on the Municipal Hall as foreign residents ran through the streets. Rifle fire was cracking against brick walls as civilian dived for cover. It looked like a hopeless situation, 600 foreigner civilians were trapped in a mile long by quarter mile wide area bounded by a river on one side and a flat plain on the other. It was a maze of narrow alleys and single storied Chinese houses, perfect conditions for snipers. The whole was enclosed by a mud wall around 15 feet high and wide enough for 4 people to stand across. As Midshipman C.C Dix recalled “The prospect was hardly brilliant; inside the settlement was a mixed force of 2,400 men, with nine field guns, and a few machine guns; outside were 15,000 Imperial troops, with immense numbers of quick-firing guns. Their ammunition was of the best, and practically unlimited, and they had the dreaded Boxers at their back.” The most senior officer in Tientsin at the time was Russian Colonel Wogack who took control of the multinational force of Americans, Russians, Australian, Germans, French, Japanese and Italians, the except of course were the British who chose to be led by Captain Bayly of the HMS Aurora. The Russians deployed in a very exposed position trying to defend the railway station on the opposite side of the river from the foreign settlement. They were in close proximity to a Chinese grave site, some houses and ditches, places Qing snipers could hide in. With the Russians were the French who took up a position in front of the French concession at the north end of the settlement near the Taku road. The Americans defended a stretch with the British along the eastern side of the entire settlement; it was a very thin line. The Germans, Austrians, Japanese and Italians deployed along the mud wall near the riverbank. Civilians who were capable were given the task of policing, sentry, engineering and medical duties. Herbert Hoover and his men were the only engineers in Tientsin, Colonel Wogack asked them to get people building barricades. Hoover and the men frantically searched for Chinese laborers to help and any materials that were sturdy enough for barricades. As Hoover recalled “Soon we . . . had a thousand terrified Christian Chinese carrying and piling up walls of sacked grain and sugar along the exposed sides of the town and at cross streets.” Within the first hours of battle it seemed the Qing and Boxers would overrun them. Hoover had this to say “With the smoke of many burning buildings pouring over the settlement, with the civilians erecting barricades across the streets for the final rush, the terrific bombardment, the constant sound of rifle-fire in the distance, and the knowledge,—if not the sight,—of the scores of wounded brought in from the lines—it all seemed bad—very bad. It was really the climax of terror, of the black fear, as it was of the fighting. And this was the ‘black fear,' not that the siege would be successful and we should be compelled to lower our flag and surrender to an honourable enemy,—but that, if every man fought to his utmost strength and was beaten, there were without,—Chinamen, —mobs of Chinamen, at their very worst,—barbarians who knew no quarter.” The women, children and non combatants huddled in fear within the catacombs beneath Gordon Hall, the most robust stone municipal building available. The Qing assault was first directed at the railway station. Upon seeing this Commander Beatty formed a bridge of boats and took sailors across to reinforce the Russians, but they soon became pinned down. The sailors tried to hide amongst some Russian artillery horse carriages as Chinese artillery and snipers fired hell upon the area. The allied forces had to allow the Chinese to approach closer, because their artillery and snipers were wielding an enormous advantage, no one could stand up right unless they wanted shrapnel or sniper bullets to hit them. Those who did advance were armed Boxers who were driven off by volley fire from the defenders. The defenders could not know this, but the Boxers and Qing despite appearances were not really coordinating together. The Qing troopers were awaiting orders from Beijing whether they were to support the Boxers or the protect the foreigners! It was only a result of the attack upon the Taku forts that finally led the Qing government to officially take the side of the Boxers and orders began to trickle over to support them. Despite the official orders, there were many moderates counter ordering and commanders out in the field who did not support the Boxers and were only putting up symbolic efforts at battle. General Nie Shicheng led the forces in the field overall and he had his artillery fire constantly, it is reported nearly 60,000 shells would be fired upon the foreign settlements. These shells however, much akin to what occurred during the first sino-japanese war, were not all exploding upon impact. Corruption was still rampant and the shells were quite lackluster in their results. The Boxers who did advance were quickly met with volleys at close range, and Beatty noted this of the Russians s “they worked their guns like men, scorning to build up protection with the bales of goods that were there and which we utilized for our riflemen.” Beatty was less impressed with the Germans who continuously sent messages stating they were under heavy attack and required reinforcements, lest they be forced to abandon their positions. According to Beatty the Germans were crying wolf and he made it clear they would receive no reinforcements from the British. Sailors and marines pushed through against Qing and Boxer infiltrators tossing them out. The allied forces formed a closed ring around the civilians as Hoover described it “It was in the center that the melodrama and comedy were played—the rim was nearly all tragedy.” Sniper fire was coming from within the settlements prompting wild hunts. Chinese Christians within the settlement numbered 3-4 thousand were prime targets for Boxer attacks. Hoovers wife Lou Hoover volunteered at the hospital using a bicycle to move between alley's and had a sniper bullet hit her tire once. The hospital saw around 200 wounded brought in a day, people requiring bandages, bedding, dressings, disinfectants all of which were in short supply. Tientsin was under siege. Herbert Hoover bicycle around the defensive perimeter braving the streets to see his barricades were working. The situation was incredibly stressful for the civilians, cooped up together while artillery and gunfire raged outside their buildings. According to Herbert Hoover many friendships ended because of the stress and he recalled ““No one will again dare to organize a dinner party in Tientsin without consulting an inmate of Gordon Hall, for how could Mrs. E. ever sit at meat again with Mrs F., who slapped Mrs. E.'s Peking pug?” So…someone slapped a pug? War never changes. By the 22nd of June things were becoming critical. Commander Beatty had been shot and was losing a ton of blood after the attempted seizing and enemies gun in a narrow escape when a shell burst near him. The men fighting in the barricades were mutilated by shellfire and gunshot. Contact with Taku had been lost on the 17th, casualties were piling up and the settlement was completely surrounded, there was no escape. The only reason the settlement had not already been overrun was because the Qing and Boxers were not working in concerted efforts to simultaneously hit all fronts. The Russians sent word that if the fighting continued the way it had been for the past 4 days, their ammunition would run out and they advised preparing a night time escape. Their recommendation was for the women, children, wounded and sick to be escorted by the Germans, Austrians, French, Japanese and Italians while the Russians and British would perform a rearguard. Upon hearing this, the very injured Beatty remarked “it was the maddest, wildest, damndest, rottenest scheme that could emanate from the brain of any man. Doing this would mean abandoning Seymour to certain destruction”. Beatty made it known to the Russians the British would not comply. Unbeknownst to them all, help was on its way and quite close by. On June 19th, my birthday random factoid, a young British volunteer, James Watts set out with 3 Cossacks in an attempt to make contact with Taku. They men rode through hostile villages as Boxers tried to attack them. Watt carried a message from Captain Bayly stating “Hard pressed, heavy fighting; losses, 150 killed and wounded; Chinese Imperial Artillery shelling the Settlement; women and children all in cellars; fires all over the Settlement; every one worn out with incessant fighting.” A rescue force of Russian infantry and American marines had already been dispatched but they were pinned down near the outskirts of Tientsin. According to one American Gunnery Sergeant “We fell into a trap . . . we laid on our faces with the bullets coming like hail not knowing what to do . . . we fell and got up, staggered, crawled—but got out. I never saw such a tired party in my life and yours truly was on the hog!” The force was 131 US marines and 400 Russians who got ambushed 2 miles from the city. The Americans suffered 3 deaths, 13 wounded before they withdrew back to Taku. Bayly's message made it clear a more substantial force was required. Taku and her forts were left with just 1000 men as a garrison as the allies prepared an expeditionary force. Luck was theirs again, as two new warships arrived, the HMS Terrible from Hong Kong carrying 300 Royal Welch Fusiliers and a Russian troopship from Port Arthur carrying hundreds of Russian troops. On June 23rd a multinational force 2000 men strong set out which also held the British 1st Chinese regiment from Weihaiwei, so even some Chinese troops were in their ranks. They rushed up to Tientsin reaching it the same day and upon seeing them the Qing and Boxers dispersed into the east. Lou Hoover described the scene of their arrival to Tientsin as such “A good many hundred civilians and a couple of thousand troops sat still and repelled faint hearted charges while 10,000 or 15,000 Chinese troops and 20,000 Boxers plunked shells of all sizes into us for exactly one week without a sound or a word from the outside reaching us. Then the first relief cut their way into us . . . enough to get in but not to do anything more than we could when they got there.” With the Chinese siege lifted momentarily, the lines of communication and supplies from Taku to Tientsin were quickly restored. However Tientsin's battle was nowhere close to be over as the Qing and Boxers would quickly remount their siege. Back over in Beijing the foreign legations work up to their first day of siege on the 21st. The first hours of the siege brought panic, the Austrians from the offset abandoned their isolated legation to fall back upon the French barricades leaving the northeast sector in enemy hands. The next day, Professor Huberty James who had been working with missionaries at the Fu Palace calmly walked up to the north bridge going over the canal. He gave the appearance of someone trying to parley, but Qing troops on the other side shot him dead upon the bridge. They all awaited Seymours rescue party, but it was not to be seen. A letter from Captain McCalla, Seymour's second in command dated June 14th managed to pass through to the American legation. The letter had been written 35 miles from Beijing and whose contents were nothing more than small chat, indicating nothing about when they would arrive. On June 22nd, by 9am the Italians, Austrian, French, German, Japanese, Russian and American detachments suddenly abandoned their positions and frantically ran to the British legation. Three-quarters of the legation quarters defenses were left undefended, including the Fu Palace, which held nearly the entire Chinese christian population that had fled into the legation quarters. Everyone was in a tremendous panic, it turned out a single man had caused it. Captain von Thomann of the Austrian cruiser Zenta whom from the offset of hostilities had been trying to take command of the defenses for the legations went into a panic when he reportedly was told the American legation had to be abandoned by a random American marine. Von Thomann lost his wits at the news and without verifying it to be true began screaming to everyone that all forces east of Canal street had to retreat immediately to the British legation. So yeah, everyone blindly began running. Once everyone figured out what had happened all the troops were ordered to retake their positions, but in the mayhem the Italian legations was already being burnt down. Boxers and Qing forces occupied the allied barricade in the Customs street, but had failed to press their advantage further. Von Thomann was relieved of command and now it was MacDonald in command. MacDonald was an ex-soldier, but held little experience in the guerilla style warfare they faced. MacDonald also had no official control over any non British forces. MacDonald would write orders and give it to the respective ministers who would arrange them to be carried out. It was a terrible system, but it was all they had it seemed. One of MacDonalds first orders was to dispatch the Italian guards who had no legation to guard to help the Japanese with the Fu Palace defenses. If the Fu Palace were to fall, the French, German and Japanese legations would be cut off from the British legation which was the last stronghold. MacDonald took a stock of the legations defenses: over 400 men, 20 officers and 389 men of 8 differing nations. They were supplemented by two bands of armed volunteers. The first were 75 men with some military experience, such as Nigel Oliphant of the Chinese imperial Bank who had served with the Scots Greys, Captain Poole of the East Yorkshire Regiment and Captain Labrousse of the Infanterie de Marine. The second group were more amateurish, titled the carving knife brigade because of their variety of weapons going from elephant rifles to fusil de chasse. Professionals and amateurs alike were all short of ammunition and each nationality used differing weapons with differing types of ammunition making it a nightmare logistically. The legation had only one piece of real artillery, the Italian one pounder and that too held little ammunition. Their lines of defense had shrunk alarmingly after just the second day, they only had 7 legations to defend. The outliers such as the Belgian and Dutch legations had been abandoned at the beginning, the Austrians shortly after and the Italians lost theirs during the Von Thomann confusion. The area they defended was now 700 yards east to west from the Russian and American legations and 750 yards north to south from the Fu Palace and British legation to the north and the Tartar Wall in the south. Sandwiched between these were the Japanese, Spanish and German legations alongside some other buildings. All the legations, excluding the British one, were on Legation street. The Germans and Americans were on the south side of the street overshadowed by the massive Tartar wall. MacDonald knew the Tartar wall had to be held at all cost, if it was taken anyone from its top could lob incendiaries down, spelling doom. The British legation grounds quickly became the place everyone congregated searching for further information, everyone was starved to know what was going on outside. Meanwhile the Chinese Christians were doing their part helping with labor an invaluable aspect to the defenders plight. There was also the issue of having to watch over them, lest the enemy infiltrate using them as cover. The foreigners and Chinese likewise were introduced to the hazard of fire which constantly was an issue. Boxers would toss torches and firecrackers at all hours trying to burn the legations out. It was all to easy for the Boxers to dip rags in kerosene attach it to the end of a long bamboo pole and lit it ablaze. On the 22nd, many buildings in the western sector were lit of fire and it took the defenders a long time to put it out. The first casualty for the British was to be Private Scadding who was shot dead as he stood watch while the fire committee went to work putting out fires. The very next day was the same, the Chinese tried to burn them out again, this time they aimed for the Hanlin Academy just due north of the British legation. Thousands of silk covered books were there, it was a tremendous tragedy to try and burn the place. On the morning of the 23rd, the enemy was spotted running through the four acre compound tossing torches soaked in petrol around. The foreigners were stunned the Chinese would burn such a place, but burn it they did. The fire teams tried to put the flames out, but the Chinese were firing down upon anyone who would go near the academy. Eventually MacDonald sent some royal marines to go through a hole in the wall getting into the academy where firefighting efforts were organized. Scholars among the foreign community were in despair knowing the academic treasures being burnt. Morrison had this to say “the combustible books, the most valuable in the Empire, were thrown in a great heap into the pond round the summer house . . . a heap of debris, timber in ashes, sprinkled with torn leaves, marked the site of the great library of the Middle Kingdom . . . what can we think of a nation that sacrifices its most sacred edifice, the pride and glory of its country and learned men for hundreds of years, in order to be revenged upon foreigners? It was a glorious blaze. The desecration was appalling.” By the night time the fire was still burning as soot covered fire fighters struggled. Other fires were seen that day, the Russo Chinese bank containing 80,000 dollars of cash was burned down, many officials houses alongside it.

The battle for the Taku Forts was won at a small cost, but the battle for Tientsin and Beijing would rage on for many more days. Time was of the essence if the allies were to reach the foreign legations in Beijing to save their countrymen.

A five year old learner, Masonwabe Mapolisa last weekend survived the coldest weekend of the year locked in a classroom at JA Ncaca Primary School in Lingelihle, Cradock in the Eastern Cape. When the learner didn't return home on Friday afternoon, his family then went to the police station and reported him missing. He was later found on Monday in one of the school classrooms. He is allegedly recovering in hospital at the Dora Nginza Hospital in Nelson Mandela Bay where he was airlifted for specialist treatment. The circumstances of how he ended up locked in the classroom are not yet clear and under investigation by education authorities.

In 1818 Mary Shelley published her infamous novel, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus”. More than just a work of gothic fiction, it represented a host of fears and concerns that the public held after viewing experiments by the natural philosophers of the day. In the same year, in a lecture theatre in Glasgow, the dissection and supposed resurrection of an executed criminal took place. As electrodes were placed on the body, it jumped and danced, its fingers moved “nimbly, like those of a violin player,” all for the amazement of the excited audience members. It was the dawn of electricity and a period of wild experimentation in an age of divisive and dangerous theories.

It had taken twenty years from the initial British landing on the Cape for the occupation to become permanent. So by August 1814, following the first abdication of Napoleon, the Netherlands regained independence with the Prince Orange re-installed as sovereign. The British duly restored some of his colonies to him – but not the Cape. In 1803 Lord Nelson had said the Cape was not essential, but by 1814 this had changed. The problem for the Cape was that colonies were supposed to balance their own budgets – and the British had tried to help this little African back-water by allowing Cape wine growers to import their product into Britain for free. By 1813 sales had risen, and eventually and something that you'd probably be surprised to hear, by the time of the 1820 settlers, 10 percent of all wine drunk in the UK came from the Cape. The big issue was most of this came from Crown lands, run on behalf of the government, not from independents. With such a vast territory, why were the cash receipts from the Cape so low? Sir John Cradock was busy reforming the loan farm system you heard about last episode which was supposed to lead to more productivity and sales as proper leases were signed. Cradock was replaced by Lord Charles Somerset who took up the mantle of this farm improvement campaign. He was a descendent of the Plantagenet kings, and had lived a comfortable life at a place called Badmington. Somerset had also proved that soldiering in drawing rooms was safer and more profitable than actually doing any fighting. Somerset travelled to the frontier to impose his policy of separation – and summoned Ngqika, Ndlambe, and lesser chiefs to meet him on the banks of the Kat River – the same place by the way that VOC governor Janssens had met Ngqika in 1802.

Cradock suffered from none of his predecessors inhibition against taking military action. This did not reflect a change of policy in London – in fact, far from it. As you'll hear next podcast he was subsequently reprimanded by the government and sharply reminded that his main aim was to keep all the troops available for the defence of Cape Town. But the colonists applauded him, along with Major Jacob Cuyler the Uitenhage landdrost. As you heard last episode, by December Graham had assembled 167 light dragoons, 221 infantry of the line, 431 men of the Cape Regiment and a detachment of Royal Artillery. His troops were joined by 450 mounter burgher volunteers on commando and about 500 of their agteryers. Anders Stockenstrom, the landdrost of Graaff-Reinet, had been posted north of the Zuurveld with the trekboers, just beyond the Zuurveld proper, in order to defend Bruintje's Hoogte and its farms. When he received Graham's message on the night of 27th, he questioned the wisdom of concentrating all the British firepower on the thickets.

This is episode 66 – it's late 1811 and Sir John Cradock has just dispatched Lieutenant Colonel John Graham into the eastern Cape frontier to rid the Zuurveld of the amaXhosa. Cradock suffered from none of his predecessors inhibition against taking military action. This did not reflect a change of policy in London – in fact, far from it. As you'll hear next podcast he was subsequently reprimanded by the government and sharply reminded that his main aim was to keep all the troops available for the defence of Cape Town. But the colonists applauded him, along with Major Jacob Cuyler the Uitenhage landdrost. As you heard last episode, by December Graham had assembled 167 light dragoons, 221 infantry of the line, 431 men of the Cape Regiment and a detachment of Royal Artillery. His troops were joined by 450 mounter burgher volunteers on commando and about 500 of their agteryers. Anders Stockenstrom, the landdrost of Graaff-Reinet, had been posted north of the Zuurveld with the trekboers, just beyond the Zuurveld proper, in order to defend Bruintje's Hoogte and its farms. When he received Graham's message on the night of 27th, he questioned the wisdom of concentrating all the British firepower on the thickets.

This is episode 65 and we'll spend time with the amaXhosa, and hear about Lieutenant Colonel John Graham. I mentioned last episode that he was going to introduce what he would call a proper degree of terror in the Zuurveld where the British adopted an ethnic cleansing campaign in 1811 and 1812. All the important players in this terrible drama have been met – Jacob Cuyler the Uitenhage landdrost, Governor Cradock, Ngqika, Ndlambe, Chungwa of the Gqunukhwebe, Stockenstrom of Graaff-Reinet. So when Cradock, who'd been dispatched to southern Africa after being removed as commander of the English forces in the Spanish Peninsular, decided to launch his own military excursion, he believed the might of the European musket and military would easily overcome the amaXhosa. It was now a matter of selecting someone to bring what he called “the horrible savages” to order. Jacob Cuyler was first on the list as the landdrost in the Zuurveld, and a former military man himself. He had experience of the area and was initially thought of as the likely candidate to lead an operation of this kind. Instead, Cradock selected Lieutenant Colonel John Graham. The Governor had only been in the Cape for three weeks and wanted to personally brief the officer involved – and was also aware of the propensity for the colonials on the frontier to default to cattle raiding instead of conducting a proper war. Because he was in a rush and there would have been no time to head off to Uitenhage, or to have Cuyler come to Cape Town for a briefing, that meant John Graham got the job. Between 1793 and 1811, Chungwa had managed to negotiate the thorny relationship with three different colonial governments, and with the trekboers. In the 1780s Chungwa and his father Tshaka had firmly established the area between the Fish and the Sunday's Rivers as Gqunukhwebe territory. Just for orientation, the Sunday's River flows into Algoa Bay near Port Elizabeth, or Gqeberha as we call it today.

This is episode 64 and we've rejoined Lieutenant colonel Richard Collins and Governor Caledon in Cape Town. If you remember last episode we heard about Collins' military intelligence gathering trip to the eastern Frontier.He'd returned with two main ideas about what to do about the amaXhosa still living in the Zuurveld. His report of 6th August 1809 is another one of those key moments in South African history. In response, Caledons first initiative was to setup a mechanism to regulate the employment of the Khoekhoe labour force called the Hottentot Proclamation of November 1809. The Caledon Code as it became known decreed that work-contracts had to be drawn up before a magistrate, thus according the Khoekhoe some form of legal protection from exploitation. But this was negated almost immediately by the fine print – that the Khoekhoe had to register a fixed place of abode which forbid their movement without a certificate issued by a landdrost. The pass system's first proper installation was at hand. This meant the Khoekhoe had to live and work on farms which meant they could no longer live the life they'd been used to roaming about on the landscape which they'd done for thousands of years. However, Caledon was loathe to enforce Collin's second proposal. In the interest of preserving peace in the eastern districts, all future contact between colonists and amaXhosa would be prevented by expelling all amaXhosa beyond the Fish River. And he went further. As some former VOC and British officials had suggested, he wanted a rigid boundary backed up by powerful fortifications along the river. Lord Caledon's response was negative -but he had also resigned. And now, at this crucial juncture, a new Governor arrived. Lieutenant-General Sir John Cradock with one D disembarked in Cape Town on 5th September 1811. It took him only three weeks to declare war on the amaXhosa. He was a man of action, a military man, and he was being advised by fellow soldiers.

The following twitter post accompanies this episode of The Cradock Four.https://mobile.twitter.com/valavoosh/status/1276826105740169218The historian, Zikhona Valela, joins us to talk about the Cradock Four and, more specifically, misinformation around the supposed famous photo of the Cradock Four. Zikhona tells the story of the four men who were murdered on June 27th, 1985. How did it happen that two of the four men, and the trauma of their families, were actually erased from the historical record? Why do we continue sharing convenient narratives that are, on closer inspection, inaccurate and untrue? Zikhona helps us to piece together some of the missing parts of the Cradock Four. We also consider some of the failures of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).Some of the questions asked:Who were Matthew Goniwe, Fort Calata, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli?What motivated Zikhona to fight misconceptions about the past?Is the South African public apathetic about their past?How should we go about dispelling misinformation about the past?What is missing from the conventional narrative of the Cradock Four?How do we do the story of the Cradock Four justice?Is the 1980s a turning point in South African history?How did the United Democratic Front (UDF) come into existence?Is the murders of Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli a case of mistaken identity?How does the supposed photo of the Cradock Four perpetuate a false narrative?How did it happen that Mbulelo Goniwe and Madoda Jacob were erased from history?Who took the photograph of the Cradock Four? When was it taken?The importance of crediting photographersWhat did the families of the Cradock Four know before truths were revealed at the TRC?Would the truth about the Cradock Four have come to light without the perpetrators testifying before the TRC?Why did the Mbeki government not proceed with TRC recommendations?Why was the late 1980s and early 1990s more violent than earlier decades?Why would some people think of Nelson Mandela as a sell-out?What were some of the failures of the TRC?What should the lesson be that we take from the story of the Cradock Four?Follow Zikhona Valela on twitter @valavoosh.

Episode 107 - Churchill doubts Kitchener & Colonel Scobell butchers Lotter in a sheep shed

The Anglo-Boer War

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 6, 2019 20:26

It's early Spring 1901 and in England there are now serious doubts about how the British Army is going about its campaign in South Africa. Winston Churchill had been elected as an MP for Oldham partly because of his fame as a survivor of a Boer prisoner of war camp. He took issue with the manner in which the war office under Brodrick was going conducting itself in South Africa - it alarmed Churchill. He believed the military policy was wrong. It had started back on the 12 March 1901 - three weeks after Churchill's maiden speech in parliament. Now the future British Prime Minister was involved in a series of debates over the army. Yet, by May Churchill began to oppose what he thought of as a mistaken policy, both in South Africa, and generally by the war office. The main idea presented by Brodrick was that the British army should be modelled on the Continental example. He wanted it bigger in order to respond more effectively to acute crisis situations. Such as the outbreak of war in South Africa. Churchill thought this was a bad half baked idea, and said so. He said it was contrary to the nature of the British to have a large standing army. Both sides debated about the Anglo-Boer war, with Brodrick believing that the small size of the army in Africa had meant the war had lacked progress - at least from the British point of view. Churchill said the problem in South Africa was not the number of British soldiers, there were other reasons including a lack of horses and failure to manage logistics amongst others. Don't forget that Churchill was a conservative and his attack on Brodrick didn't go down well with his party. By Mid-July Churchill had formed a parliamentary faction with four other young conservatives known as the Hughligans, alluding to its leader, Lord Hugh Cecil. The group held weekly debates, separate from their party. This began to sharpen Churchill's mind still further, and he slowly shifted his political allegiance to the left both on the issue of the war in South Africa. Not that he supported the Boers, he fully supported Chamberlain the prime minister and Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner in South Africa. At the same time, individual officers were showing how they could lead a proper response to the Boers when given the freedom to do so. One was Colonel Harry Scobell of the 9th Lancers who was about to crush Lotter's commando at Groenkloof farm in the Tanjesburg mountains between Graaff-Reinet and Cradock in the Eastern Cape.
