    The Taiping Rebellion

    As some of you might know, the Taiping Rebellion (1851-1864) was one of the deadliest wars in history (probably second) with 20-40 million dead. It was certainly the deadliest civil war. It was founded by two Christian converts. The leader, Hong Xiuquan, was brilliant, but he also suffered a...

    The Syrian Orthodox Church in Indonesia

    I want to start by correcting some of this information. Indonesia has a population closer to 250 million now. Also, the Orthodox church is spreading rapidly in Indonesia now. I have contacts with this man personally, and I've heard from a childhood friend of his (who is a Charismatic as referred...

    Indonesian elections

    Today is the day when, in the world's largest Muslim nation, over 100 million Indonesians on 14,000 islands will vote for their next president; either Megawati or SBY. Let's pray that the candidate best suited for the Gospel spreading in that nation will be elected. We can thank God that...

    Evangelism oppurtunity: Anyone in the Philadelphia area?

    I live no where near Philadelphia (I'm in Kansas), but I will be praying for a group of refugees that will be moved to that city. 5,000 Meskhetian Turks fleeing hatred in Russia are slowly being brought into the city. They'll need help adjusting to life in America, and its an incredible...

    CIA/Pentagon report says climate change happening, will cause war and famine

    I hate to just paste a secular news story. I don't know much about eschatology, but this is a very interesting report in my opinion. Certainly, it could be related to end-time events. The report was not leaked to this British paper first. It made its rounds on the military forums about a month...

    Sino-Soviet relations: early 1970s (picture)

    Soviet Union military parade in Outer Mongolia: The Soviet Union had over 400,000 troops ready to make a march to Beijing. A friend of mine who is a military expert from mainland China says even the current People's Liberation Army could probably not stop this force. Who knows if that's...

    Taiping Rebellion - Part of Chinese history worth learning about

    Interesting note: Both the democratic and communist revolutions say they took inspiration for the Taiping rebellion. The Taiping rebellion was a disaster, but I think it does show that at least to an extent huge numbers of Chinese can accept some fundamental parts of the Christian faith. I...

    Websites

    Do any of you have any favorite Eschatology websites? I've only recently gotten into reading my Bible and studying all things Christian (I think I'm being called...). Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you have some favorite websites, articles, or even books for that matter relating to...

    The role of "The Destroyer"

    It seems to me the role of Abaddon/Apollyon, the Destroyer, is often misunderstood. I found a very good essay on him and I'd suggest that you all check it out: http://www.aristotle.net/~bhuie/abaddon.htm If you read all of that, what do you think?

    Trials and tribulations?

    Are there any parts of the scripture that specifically refer to the idea of trials and tribulations? I wouldn't normally think about it, but my dad told me a few months ago that as a young husband he asked God for trials and tribulations. Subsequently our family went through a great amount...

    Howdy ho

    Hello everyone, just introducing myself. I'm glad I found these forums. I was raised in the country in a Non-Denominational Church. It was essentially Southern Baptist minus a few details. I've attended services of about 6 other denominations (including Catholic). I currently attend another...
