    The Fulfilment of Joel's Prophecy

    25/04/2026 | 49 mins.
    Explore the connection between Joel's Prophecy (Joel 2) and the events of Pentecost as described in Acts 2. This enlightening video delves into the significance of the Holy Spirit's outpouring, the resurrection of Christ and the Signs in the Heavens on the day of His death, and the role of the Church in the harvest of souls among the nations. Understand how Pentecost is fulfilled by the Church Age and how Peter's sermon at Pentecost serves as a foundational message for the Church Age, emphasizing the empowerment of all believers by the Holy Spirit, to share the Gospel so that all who call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved..

    Peter declared the fulfilment of Joel 2:28-32, which prophesied the outpouring of the Spirit UPON all (believing) flesh (Acts 2:12-18), in conjunction with signs: “I will (1) show WONDERS in HEAVEN above, and (2) SIGNS in the EARTH beneath: blood, fire and vapour of smoke. (1) The SUN shall be turned to DARKNESS, and the MOON to BLOOD, BEFORE the Coming of the Great and Awesome Day of the Lord (the central event)” (Acts 2:19-20). Joel 2:28: “It shall come to pass AFTERWARD (after the central event, v31), that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh.” Finally, he quoted the last line of Joel’s Prophecy in Acts 2:21: “whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.” Joel’s Prophecy predicted a sequence of events: (1) SIGNS in HEAVEN and EARTH, just BEFORE (2) the Great and Awesome Day of the Lord, AFTER which (3) the Spirit will poured out UPON all flesh. The purpose of the outpouring of the Spirit UPON all believers is to empower them to prophesy (speak under the inspiration of the Spirit), which we do when we witness to Jesus, for as we speak, we trust the Spirit upon us to anoint our words, speak through us and glorify Him (Rev 19:10). The aim of our Spirit-filled witness is that people will call on His Name and be saved (Acts 2:21). Peter claimed what happened was the fulfilment of the whole of Joel’s Prophecy (Acts 2:16), which he quoted in full (2:28-32), not just the bit about the outpouring of His Spirit. He declared the 3-fold sequence of events prophesied by Joel was now fulfilled: (1) The SIGNS on EARTH and in HEAVEN happened on the Day of the Cross, 2 days BEFORE (2) Christ’s RESURRECTION (the Great and Awesome or Manifest Day of the Lord), the main focus of Peter’s sermon. Then 50 days AFTERWARD (3) the Spirit was POURED OUT on all flesh. Thus, the promised Spirit was now made freely available to all, so if we put our faith in Christ, we too can receive the Gift of His Spirit (Acts 2:32-33, 38-39). Both SIGNS in the HEAVENS were fulfilled on the Day of the Cross: (1) the DARK SUN at noon, proclaiming Jesus as our sin offering (Luke 23:44-45), for the radiant SUN of righteousness (Mal 4:2), bore the darkness of sin on Himself, pictured by the midday sun made black, as predicted in Amos 8:9. Ancient historians recorded this strange supernatural darkness, dating it to AD 33. (2) The BLOOD MOON (Acts 2:20) = a lunar eclipse. On Passover of AD 33 (Friday, April 1st), in Jerusalem as the full moon rose above the horizon, it was a Blood Moon. So, Joel 2:30-31 was fulfilled on the Day of the Cross. Whereas the SUN = CHRIST, the SOURCE of LIGHT, the MOON = His PEOPLE, who, like the moon, shine by reflecting the SUN’s light. God proclaimed in the heavens that His People were now covered by the BLOOD! Acts 2:20 also speaks of SIGNS on EARTH: (1) ‘BLOOD’ = the BLOOD of CHRIST, corresponding to the BLOOD MOON. (2) ‘FIRE and VAPOUR of SMOKE’, because of the great earthquake and resulting FIRES from all the oil lamps in the dark.

    The National Repentance of Israel

    21/04/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    The national repentance of Israel is a major theme of Bible Prophecy, and is the precondition for the Second Coming of Christ. In this study, we see that Israel has a future in God, guaranteed by the everlasting Abrahamic, Davidic and Land Covenants, and the prophecies of the Old Testament Prophets which predict Israel's national repentance and salvation after being regathered to the Land (Ezekiel 36, Joel 2-3, Zechariah 12-14), especially the prophecy of the New Covenant with Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34, confirmed in the New Testament: "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:25-26). Although Israel has fulfilled much of God's Plan in bringing forth the Scriptures and the Messiah, she still has a major role in the bringing forth of God's Kingdom on earth (the Messianic Kingdom), which can only be established through a believing Israel, since it is based on and is the fulfilment of God's everlasting Covenants with Israel. This is why Israel's repentance and salvation through receiving Christ and His New Covenant is essential for the 2nd Coming of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. Israel's future repentance will complete the fulfilment of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), followed by the 2nd Coming at Tabernacles. Thus we can understand the importance of prayer for Israel's salvation.

    What was Paul's Thorn in the Flesh?

    18/04/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    Join Derek as he delves into the topic of Paul's thorn in the flesh, exploring its significance and implications for faith and healing. This lecture examines traditional interpretations, biblical contexts, and theological insights to shed light on this often-misunderstood passage. Discover how suffering and weakness can lead to a deeper reliance on God's grace and strength. One common objection to the claim that it is God’s will to heal His people is Paul’s THORN in the FLESH. Many say that it was a sickness that God gave Paul to keep him humble, and that when Paul asked to be healed God said 'No.' In this video, Derek proves that this interpretation is wrong. The key questions are: (1) what is Paul’s Thorn?, and (2) where did it come from - from God or the devil? The answers are made clear in God's Word. We also explore the significance of God's answer to Paul: "“My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGTH is made perfect in WEAKNESS.”
