A @Christadelphians Video: ## YouTube SummaryWe, as Christadelphians, bring you this **outstanding** and **thought-provoking** exposition of Ezekiel's prophecy against Tyre. Is it a spectacular success or a failure of Bible prophecy? Bible scholar Stephen Palmer delivers a **revealing**, verse-by-verse analysis that answers the critics and demonstrates the **wonderful** precision of God's Word.Many claim this prophecy never came true – that Tyre still stands and Nebuchadnezzar failed. But a careful, **insightful** reading of Scripture (Ezekiel 26–29) uncovers five distinct judgments, the “wave upon wave” of many nations (like the sea), and the crucial shift from “he” (Nebuchadnezzar) to “they” (later nations). We trace the history from Babylon to Alexander the Great, who scraped the *mainland* city of Old Tyre into the sea – fulfilling the prophecy that it would become “like the top of a rock, a place to spread nets.” Modern archaeology confirms Old Tyre's location six kilometres south of today's UNESCO site, where nothing remains but a nature park. The Bible is true; the critic is wrong.This **expositional** study will strengthen your faith in God's reliable Word and point you to the greater hope: Christ's coming kingdom.## Chapters00:00 – Introduction – Prophecy as proof the Bible is God's Word 01:15 – The challenge: critics say Tyre prophecy failed 02:02 – Tyre's ancient wealth and maritime power 05:45 – Ezekiel 26:1-6 – Tyre gloats over Jerusalem's fall 07:02 – Nebuchadnezzar: the first “wave” (verses 7-11) 08:40 – The shift from “he” to “they” (verse 12) 10:17 – Does Ezekiel 29 admit failure? 13:57 – Five things prophecy said would happen 16:03 – Nebuchadnezzar does only two of five 20:26 – “They” (later nations) do the other three 25:07 – Alexander the Great destroys mainland Old Tyre 27:12 – Building the causeway – waves and storm 30:01 – Where was Old Tyre?

Today on Sense of Soul podcast we have Stephen Palmer, he is the author of twenty genre novels, numerous narrative nonfiction and fiction books, published by various publishers since 1996. His most recent directions are into music books, and anthropology/psychology with his critically lauded work 'I Am Taurus.' His fiction has been in the fields of steampunk, SF, and near-future AI novels. The constellation we know as Taurus goes all the way back to cave paintings of aurochs at Lascaux. In I Am Taurus, author Stephen Palmer traces the story of the bull in the sky, starting from that point 19,000 years ago - a journey through the history of what has become known as the sacred bull. Each of the eleven sections is written from the perspective of the mythical Taurus, from the beginning at Lascaux to Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Greece, Spain and elsewhere. This is not just a history of the bull but also an attempt to see ourselves through the eyes of the bull, illustrating our pre-literate use of myth, how the advent of writing and the urban revolution changed our view of ourselves, and how even the most modern of rituals - bullfighting in Spain - is a variation on the ancient sacrifice of the sacred bull. His main area of interest is the evolution of consciousness, about which he writes on his Substack. A materialist, he emphasises the evolutionary description of our minds and of the human condition itself. You can find him via his Substack, his blog at stephenpalmer.co.uk, or via his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063669513509&__n=K https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/iff-books/our-books/i-am-taurus

A @Christadelphians Video: Study #1: “For 175 years the Christadelphians have been eagerly expecting the return of Christ to the earth to set up the Kingdom of God as was promised by all the Hebrew prophets and by the Apostles of Christ. But the Lord still has not come. Were we wrong to expect it at all? Did we misunderstand the purpose of Bible Prophecy? Why might the end be delayed? This Bible talk reviews “end times” throughout Bible history and discover principles at work including the amazing “long-suffering of the Lord” who is “not willing that any should perish”. But the end does come and takes the world by surprise. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christadelphians-talk/message

Welcome to your monthly worship service, where each month in this season we will be taking a look at 2 films that influenced one of Tarantino's films. Under the microscope this month is Tarantino's first script he ever wrote, directed by the late Tony Scott, True Romance. The films we will be investigating to see if he simply referenced them in his films or blatantly ripped them off are, Shigehiro Ozawa's, "The Streetfighter" (1974) & John Woo's, "A Better Tomorrow 2" (1987). Sitting down with me this month to assist in my investigation is the duo know as the Asian Cinema Film Club, Mr. Elwood Jones & Mr. Stephen Palmer. So join us as we get to the bottom of wether or not Quentin Tarantino is in fact a master filmmaker or just a scene stealing, glorified hack.
