Marcus Ampe presenting: Some View on the World
Weekly World Watch (WWW) looking at a few key developments that have happened during the past week
Christians have the task not only to bring others the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God, but also to warn people how that Kingdom will come about and what will happen prior to Jesus’ return and what we must prepare for. Therefore, we should always have an eye on what happens in our world. With this website ‘View on the World’, we try to give some idea of what should receive our attention and wherefore we should prepare.
A watchman seeing the sword coming
Those who call themselves Christians must be aware of their responsibility to look out for and make known the end signs.
Een wachter die het zwaard ziet komen
Zij die zich Christen noemen moeten zich bewust zijn van de verantwoordelijkheid die ze dragen omtrent het uitkijken en kenbaar maken van de eindtekenen.
Police investigation into “partygate” “incredibly serious” – Whips and advisers not above the law
In Great Britain the Speaker has said that Government whips and advisers are “not above the law”, following one minister’s claim that several MPs who oppose Boris Johnson had been subjected to “pressures and intimidation”. The Prime Minister has stated that he will not quit if the rebels force a no confidence vote. However, five […]
Prayer – To be good friends to those around us
Dear God, help us to be good friends to those around us. Help us to show love and kindness to others, as you have shown us. Help us to provide support and comfort to our friends as they have need. Thank you for being our friend and comforter, and for our many […]

Israel featured twice on list of potential 2022 conflicts
A think tank and research institute on global crises released a list of ten international conflicts to anticipate in 2022, with potential wars involving Israel featured twice. The compilation, released by the International Crisis Group, said the world could witness possible conflicts between Israel and the Palestinian territories this year, as well as a war […]
Fundamenten van het Geloof 15 De Rechter en zijn oordeel
Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? Als Koning over de gehele aarde, is God niet alleen de Wetgever, maar ook de hoogste Rechter. In het Oude Testament maakt Hij Zich als zodanig bekend: “God is een rechtvaardig Rechter …” (Psalm 7:12) “… zou de Rechter van de ganse aarde geen […]
Moscow lists demands for defusing Ukraine tensions
Russia said on Friday it wanted a legally binding guarantee that NATO would give up any military activity in Eastern Europe and Ukraine, part of a wish list of security guarantees it wants to negotiate with the West. Moscow for the first time laid out in detail demands that it says are essential for lowering […]
PM warns Vladimir Putin against ‘tragic mistake’ as tensions rise with Ukraine
Boris Johnson warned Vladimir Putin against making a “tragic mistake” as tensions rise on the border between Russia and Ukraine. The Prime Minister appearing at the Commons Liaison Committee, was asked about the problems between Belarus and Poland and the situation in Ukraine. Thousands of migrants, mainly from the Middle East, have been amassing at the Belarus border with Poland for months. Brussels […]
A broken spirit
What do you think of this? “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” (Psalm 51:17) This verse is so familiar to us that we may not really think about it very much any more. But let’s take a minute and actually think. Is […]
Fundamenten van het Geloof 14 De komst van Christus in heerlijkheid
Na zijn ophanging aan het stuk hout en opstanding is de Nazarener meesterverteller Jezus Christus naar zijn Vader, in de hemel gegaan. Dit was een vervulling van profetieën in het Oude Testament en van de heer Jezus zelf: “Aldus luidt het woord van de HERE tot mijn Here: Zet u aan mijn rechterhand, totdat Ik […]
Times of overcorrections
This century may go into the history books by its aim to overcorrect. Today we are not any more allowed to use lots of words which were quiet normal and not offensive in the previous century. Today one has to be very careful how one wants to express oneself. Today several youngsters consider it transphobic […]
We are living in a time of “universal deceit”
From Bible in the news Honest Reporting recently rounded off an examination of instances of YouTube banning content by saying: “To paraphrase a quote wrongly attributed to Orwell but which resonates strongly today as we seemingly edge towards the dystopian society that he predicted: ‘In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a […]
Het vroegere Judea beschouwend
Aanvullend op de twee voorgaande berichten wensen wij graag u te verwijzen naar een artikel van “Baars”, die zich (zoals vele anderen) dingen afvraagt. In “Het vroegere Judea” haalt hij aan hoe de Romeinen er in sloegen de Joden uit Palestina te verdrijven. In het jaar 135 doopte keizer Hadrianus Judea (Ioudaía – Yəhuda) om […]
Hamas en de Israëlische regering weer eens in conflict
De laatste weken heeft het er weer eens gestoven in het land waar eigenlijk vrede zou moeten overheersen. Eigenlijk is de miserie begonnen door provoserende moslims. Het uitdagen van de Israëlische soldaten leidde dan weer tot wat eigenlijk in geen enkel land zou mogen gebeuren, namelijk de bestorming van een gebedshuis. Het is totaal ongehoord […]

January 6th was a theological event. Just a month before, the Jericho March rallies in DC featured nationalist prayers. They declared God’s will was to reinstate Donald Trump.

Kaepernick took a knee, Trump took a photo op. These moments are seared in the collective American consciousness. And both moments are unavoidably religious.

We are characters in the middle of the greatest story ever told. It looks like our world derives not only its being from some kind of transcendent foundation but also a kind of intricate meaning from it as well — much like a story derives meaning from an author.
