Revelation 16

I believe that key to rightly dividing the book of Revelation, is to recognise that the events recorded in this book can be broadly divided into two parallel blocks — chapters 4 through to 11 forming the first block, and chapters 12 through to 20 forming the second block.  When one understands that these two blocks of Scripture are complementary in nature—that is, they run parallel to one another covering the same period of time in the Tribulation—one is then able to rightly divide the book of Revelation making sense of its chronology and the events that happen within it.

In this teaching, we endeavour to compare side-by-side, the trumpet judgments of Revelation 8, 9 and 11, with the vial judgments of chapter 16. In doing this, we discover that whilst there are slight discrepancies between the two accounts, the overwhelming similarities between the two necessitate that they are referring to the same event.  Take a listen and decide for yourself.

When David Richards was made redundant from his sales director role, finding a new one at 50 was very hard. Luckily, he had always loved cooking and smoking cuts of meat in the garden, so when his wife Karen suggested that there might be a business in curing, they gave it a shot.

10 years later their company, Capreolus, has won countless awards for its ever-increasing range of mouth-watering charcuterie and smoked foods, from pancetta and air-dried pork loin to the magnificently named Rampisham Tingler Salami.

In this edition you’ll discover why it’s so important to get the right sort of business funding – if you can; why the fat of rare breed animals is the star of good charcuterie… and what it’s like dealing with restaurant food crazes, where smoked venison might suddenly replace air-dried beef, and you realise, with a sinking heart, that you have no venison on the premises and a six month lead time…

Energy bars and protein bars are popular with health-conscious consumers looking for a quick shot of energy as they prepare to jog, hike or work out, or even as a meal substitute.

But they're kidding themselves.  Many products marketed as healthy snacks are candy in another name, loaded with sugar and other junk that should horrify anyone who cares about maintaining health.

That’s prunes- that of course is what a dried plum is!  And recent studies have shown that prunes have amazing health benefits, and also taste really good.

But the big news is that you can actually reverse osteoporosis within your bones by consuming prunes.  It has been thought that once the bones lose minerals, they cannot be regained.  Thus, people as they age, in particular women, but in men was well, gradually lose bone structure.  This sets you up for weak, easily breakable bones, and steadily weakening teeth as well.  Lose mineral structure in your spine, and you are looking at a lot of pain and disability- fall and break a hip; why many people never recover from that and become bedridden as a result. 

The prune (it has been rebranded as a ‘dried plum’ for marketing purposes), has a unique chemical property that can actually reverse this bone loss, so you body can lay down bone minerals that have already been lost!  This is huge, and alone makes including prunes in your diet on a regular basis a very smart practice. 

But, there is more- prunes, or dried plums as I’m sure you’ll call them from now on, also have the most antioxidants of any fruit!  And how important are antioxidants?  Antioxidants – defend our body against the damaging effects of free radicals.  It is now known that free radicals are associated with as many as 60 different diseases including heart disease, many forms for cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, arthritis, stroke, allergies, chronic fatigue and aging in general.

So, save and strengthen your bones, while at the same time defending yourself against a plethora of diseases.  Eat prunes- if you’re like me, you love the taste, but you kind of forget about these dried little fruits when shopping by being distracted by the sexier types- the pineapples, the mangos, grapes, figs- whatever.  But now you know- 

Don’t be dumb, choose a dried plum!

I recommend Heather’s Packaroons; I especially like the Orange Vanilla Bean packaroons. They’re rad. But order more than one package. Because you’ll want to eat another package of them as soon as you finish the first.
