a @Christadelphians Video:
The Lord Jesus told the Apostles what events would take place before Jerusalem was destroyed, earthquakes, famines, pestilence, wars, anti-semitism and more. All these things happened before Rome totally destroyed Jerusalem and the Jewish nation in AD70. That was Israel’s last days and they were warned to flee before it happened. In these last days before Jesus Christ returns, we are seeing the same signs on a hugely increased scale. We are also warned to be prepared and waiting for Jesus to come back, to set up his Kingdom, ruling from Jerusalem.
In this presentation the speaker mentions Dr John Thomas, you can read more about him here....

**[Actual, provable Bible Truth]** We are witnessing the remarkable fulfilment of biblical prophecy in our present world. The signs Jesus Christ gave nearly 2,000 years ago are manifesting with breathtaking clarity around us today. From earthquakes in diverse places to the rise of anti-Semitism, from moral decline to the rebirth of Israel as a nation, the Scriptures are being fulfilled before our eyes. This is not speculation—it is the Word of God coming to life in our generation.
This thought-provoking and insightful exposition examines current world events through the lens of Scripture, revealing how they align perfectly with prophetic warnings given by Jesus and the prophets. We explore the "birth pains" Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24—earthquakes, famines, pestilences, and wars—and demonstrate how these are intensifying as we approach the return of our Lord. From the volcanic instability in Naples to devastating earthquakes in Indonesia, from the moral decay described in 2 Timothy 3 to the growing persecution of Jewish people worldwide, every sign points to one wonderful conclusion: Christ's return is imminent.
This outstanding presentation connects the prophetic patterns of 70 AD to our present day, showing how history repeats as we approach the final days of Gentile dominion. The revealing truth is that God is in complete control, using natural forces and world events to accomplish His divine purpose. We are living in thrilling times—not frightening times, because we know what lies ahead: a new beginning under the Lord Jesus Christ, who will rule from Jerusalem and bring lasting peace to a troubled world.

In this thought-provoking and revealing presentation, Bible scholar Ron Cowie takes us on an insightful exposition of one of the most misunderstood subjects in Scripture—demons and demon possession. We, as Christadelphians, are committed to proving all things concerning true Bible teaching, and this wonderful study challenges the popular misconceptions that have permeated modern Christianity.
Ron Cowie carefully examines the Greek origins of the word "demon," tracing it back to ancient pagan beliefs rather than biblical truth. The presentation brilliantly demonstrates that what the Bible describes as "demon possession" was actually the common ancient explanation for unseen mental and physical disabilities—conditions we now understand through medical science.
**What You'll Discover:**
- The vital distinction between the Greek words for "devil" and "demon"
- Why demon possession accounts appear primarily in Galilee, not Judea
- How Greek mythology shaped Christian thinking about hell and demons
- The powerful truth that Jesus came to preach salvation, not medical science
This outstanding deep dive will transform your understanding of what Scripture truly teaches about demons, Satan, and the nature of evil.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Video Summary & Description**
Is it possible that one of the most debated phrases in Scripture—“coming from heaven”—has been widely misunderstood? In this **thought-provoking** and **revealing** exposition, we challenge the traditional idea that Jesus literally pre-existed in heaven before His birth. Instead, we uncover a biblically consistent, **insightful** interpretation that harmonises the whole of Scripture.
Through careful, verse-by-verse analysis, we explore how the same language used for John the Baptist, the manna in the wilderness, and even answered prayer is *figurative*—pointing to God’s miraculous provision and divine purpose, not physical relocation from heaven. This **outstanding** study will transform how you read the Gospel of John and deepen your appreciation for Jesus’ truly human yet perfectly obedient life.
Join us as we unpack **two key principles** that unlock dozens of passages: Jesus as God’s miraculous provision (like manna and John), and Jesus’ heavenly *mindset*—His total focus on the Father’s will. A **wonderful**, faith-strengthening watch for any seeker of truth.
