These images above seem gruesome. But it most likely quite a realistic portraying of the many lashings he received before his crucifixion. At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death. At the time, crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus. Unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches lo

When Revelation opens the third seal, John writes: “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:5–6 This is the black horse rider. He is one of the clearest p

If you are called to evangelize Muslims, then you are already called to speak with moral clarity. You can’t separate those two. The gospel doesn’t come to people in a vacuum—it confronts what they already believe. And if you’re not willing to name what stands in the way, you won’t be able to make clear what Christ actually offers. At that point, what you’re calling evangelism starts to drift into something else. It sounds compassionate, but it ends up being confusing. Hebrews

It almost starts looking like another "Covid Mandates" 2.0 in regards to the oil "crises" I hope this will not be necessary, but as they say: "Never let a crises go the waste" Unfortunately we are mostly governed by politicians obsessed with population control, especially on the left side of the political spectrum. Yes there is a war in the Middle East, but that is not the main cause. Low stocks & the ridiculous focus & waste of resources, land & money on the so-called renewa

Despite experiencing several wars over the last year as well as heavy religious persecution and ostracization from the Islamist regime, insiders say that the small community of Christians within Iran is growing against all odds. In 2020, a rare survey of the Iranian people was conducted by the Group for Analysing and Measuring Attitudes in IRAN (GAMAAN). They noted that since Iranians “live with an ever-present fear of retribution for speaking against the state,” researcher

Tithing: (What The Bible Actually Says) Tithing is one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today. Some pastors teach that if you give 10% God will make you wealthy. Others claim tithing was only for Israel and Christians should ignore it completely. Both positions usually leave out huge portions of Scripture. So let’s walk through the full biblical picture. Ft, the word tithe literally means “a tenth.” In Hebrew the word is ma'aser, which simply means a tenth porti

Is the Rapture real? There’s always debate around this topic. Let’s start with the obvious: the Rapture sounds crazy. Jesus descends from Heaven, dead people rise from their graves, and living believers are suddenly caught up into the sky—like the world’s strangest episode of “Stranger Things.” Sounds like the stuff your uncle mutters about after three cups of church coffee. Except—the Rapture is right there in Scripture. Paul says it. John says it. Jesus says it. The Rapture

LAST SUPPER BILLBOARD APPEARS IN IRAN: A large highway billboard featuring The Last Supper has appeared in Iran. The billboard shows Jesus and His disciples seated at the table, with Persian text beside the image. The text translates roughly to: “The promised Messiah is coming.” In Islamic belief, Jesus (Isa) is considered the Messiah and Muslims also believe He will return before the Day of Judgment. Is this the fulfilment of ? Jeremiah 49:38 New King James Version I will se

“When you understand who [Karl Marx] was and what he believed, you will be able to trace a lot that’s going on in our world today right back to him.” . Having lived & worked myself in Eastern Europe & the Soviet Union, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, I couldn't warn about this enough! So please see below 2 good resources to help you to get a better insight in dangers of this phenomana. https://www.facebook.com/reel/811837195269289 https://youtu.be/S2wFCjEu0GI?si=M8Y3Iuv9

Why Rome in the first place? Good question! Isn't Rome referred to as Babylon by the Apostle Peter. Isn't Rome the centre of the former Roman Empire that disintegrated but will be restored according the to Biblical prophecies. Isn't Rome the city where the first formation held place of what we now call the European Union. Isn't Rome still an independent City-State with its own ambassadors all over the world, representing the Vatican & the Pope. Not to mention that Rome ha

If you want to understand why Iran behaves the way it does — why they are not deterred by normal calculations of loss, why death doesn't frighten them the way it should — this is exactly you need to hear. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 general Islam but "𝐓𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐢𝐬𝐦" — a specific, radical, apocalyptic cult ideology that has seized control of the Iranian state and functions less like a branch of a world religion and more like a death cult with nuclear ambitions.

This article explores the intersection of three seemingly disparate concepts: mass psychosis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity, and the cultural phenomenon of mind control (turning people into zombies). While seemingly distinct, these ideas share a common thread – the erosion of individual reason and the potential for its contagious spread, resulting in collective behaviour that deviates from established norms. Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity: The Moral Defect Diet

I can't think of a greater threat to Christianity, Israel, civilisation & the world in general. Especially with the bizarre development of the the woke left supporting radical Islam. I have written several articles in the blog section to warn people. Not only do I think that Islam is incompatible to Western Civilisation, it is incompatible to humanity: https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/is-islam-a-colonialist-religion https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/dismantli

Since Oct 7 2023 I have written many article about Israel & the Jews- God's Covenant People. As you might have noticed the hate for Israel & the Jewish people is only increasing. It doesn't make any sense in the natural, that's why it is supernatural, more specifically: Demonic! So below you will find the links to some of the most important blogs / articles: https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/the-history-of-the-land-of-israel https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/it-

I don't know about you, but the more time progresses, the more things, persons & newsfeeds get deleted or blocked. The circle I trust gets smaller & smaller. (This includes pastors, politicians, "experts" & medical doctors) This trend started during the COVID mandates: at the workplace, in churches & everywhere else, I interacted with people or (social) media. Now the ones in media & politics that were talking sense previously against these insane COVID mandates, Abortion &

PART 1: 1–25 Jesus said when these things begin to happen, look up. When they all begin converging, know the time is near (Matthew 24:33–34). These prophecies were written 1,900–3,500 years ago. Yet for the first time in history, every single trend is in place simultaneously. God said: “I declare the end from the beginning.” - Isaiah 46:10 “Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” - Isaiah 42:9 “I tell you before it comes, that when it comes to pass, you may believe.”

There are several reasons: 1) It is prophesied in the Scriptures that the last days the love of many will grow cold & many will depart from the faith. 2) But that does not mean that this takes away our responsibility as Churches, Christian Institutions & last but not least parents to do our part & I believe that we have contributed to this by forsaking our responsibilities & not teaching a Biblical worldview & defence of the faith. 3) Youth groups & churches have focussed to

Who are we? You might have noticed that there are no pictures of pastors & leadership & pictures of "entertainment" & activities etc. on our Website. This is for the following reasons: 1) Our website & messages on YouTube are very clear in what we believe & stand for & this should be the only reason besides the Lord leading you to Harvest why you want to come. 2) It is my view (the Lord convicted me about this a while ago) that it is irrelevant how the pastors & leadership lo

We are watching a cultural shift that many leaders won’t name and many believers don’t yet see. But silence won’t stop it. And fear won’t fix it. There is a deeper story behind the unrest, the confusion, and the hostility toward Biblical truth. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. An Unholy Alliance exposes what’s happening beneath the surface and equips you to respond not with panic, but with conviction, courage, and Gospel clarity. I have included in this post 6 links t

Yes I know we live in the last days & all these things are prophesied. But that does not relieve us from warning people & being a watchmen, trusting & believing that people will wake up & bring them to salvation in Jesus Christ. As it is God's will that all men come to th
