The Eagle's Eye PodcastEpisode 55 The Eagle's Eye Podcast - 'In the cleft of the Rock'I was recently inspired by the Scriptures in I Kings chapters 17, 18 and 19. I’m sure we all know of the story of Moses in Exodus 33, when he climbed Mount Sinai (also known as Mount Horeb, the Mountain of God – 1 Kings 19:8). Another Scripture every Christian must know is from I Kings 19:11-12, where Elijah experiences a strong wind; an earthquake; a fire, and then a ‘still small voice’. But what was Elijah doing in this place?” And how can we enter into God's presence? How can we seek His face, touch His grace, in the cleft of the Rock?2024-09-1948 min
The Eagle's Eye PodcastEagles Eye Podcast 54 - A Very Tough Seven MonthsEver since the Islamic Terrorist group Hamas attacked, raped, killed and kidnapped women, children, babies, grandmothers - even Holocaust survivors, and Israel were forced to take action, the world has changed. This has indeed been a very tough seven months. Here I take a personal look at this, and pose some very serious points that need to be looked into.2024-06-0730 min
The Eagle's Eye PodcastEpisode 53 Eagle's Eye Podcast - Are we getting the full picture?These are indeed dark days, and as we watched in horror, the civilian population of Israel being targeted by Hamas terrorism, and innocent civilians on both sides are being killed and traumatised (however, one has to question as to how many Gazan civilians are being killed by their own people, as many of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets have failed and exploded in Gaza).
I have been reporting on (and often from within Israel) issues relating to Israel for the past 28 years. Hamas have bombed Israel now for over 16 years. But what we witnessed on the 7th of October 2023...2023-11-2444 min

On July 3rd, 2023, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) launched what it described as a ‘contained and precise operation’ to foil very active terrorist activity in the Jenin area, which consisted of surprise attacks on terrorist infrastructure in what the world calls the ‘West Bank’ city of Jenin. This is an area that has been dubbed the Arab Palestinian “terror capital.”
But what is the truth and context behind what we are witnessing in Jenin? But why now, and why has Israel appeared to go into this with more force than usual? Find out in this...2023-07-0838 min
The Eagle's Eye PodcastEagles Eye Podcast Episode 51 - 'More Questions than Answers'After a few months away, I was finally inspired to recreate a podcast that really spoke to some folks recently. Climbing mountains is never easy, but the climb, no matter how tough, is worth it, when you get to the peak and see the amazing views. Life, health, and faith are often like that mountain climb. But can we really face the questions everyone wants to ask, but feel they can't? And will we find any answers?2023-04-0348 min
The Eagle's Eye PodcastEpisode 50 - The Eagle's Eye Podcast - Qatar, Iran & The JubileeAll over the world in 2022, there are many people who do not enjoy freedom. All over the Middle East, and other areas of the world, Christians in particular, suffer great persecution because of their faith in Jesus (Yeshua). And all over the world the Jewish people too have suffered much persecution – just look at the Holocaust as one example – and today, we are living in an age when antisemitism is as high as it was in the 1930s.

When we examine the horrendous state of of world, how can we gain peace? And what has any of this got to do with Noah?
Noah’s absolute faith in God, which resulted in uncompromising obedience, was the reason he was able to truly enter a place of blessed rest. In fact, the name Noah, or Noach in Hebrew, means rest. He was not a man who “leaned on his own understanding” of a situation but trusted wholeheartedly in the Word of the...2022-10-2140 min
The Eagle's Eye PodcastEpisode 48 Eagle's Eye Podcast - Sukkot-a test for Israel?Over the High Holy Days (September/October) Israel has been celebrating the three Biblical Feasts - Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur and Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). All these are Torah-commanded holidays. However, as I was reading sections of the book of Genesis, I really felt the Lord lay an issue on my heart regarding the promises of God to Israel, and how they respond to His calling.
The passages I'm concentrating on (along with others) are Genesis 28:10-17; Genesis 31:43-54; John 1:43-51, and Genesis 32:4-31.
Hope you get something from this.2022-10-1149 min

Less than two hours after being hit by the planes, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York collapsed, one after the other - leaving massive clouds of dust and debris.

The Eagle's Eye Podcast042 Episode 42 Eagle's Eye Podcast - "Questions everyone wants to ask, but feel they can't."In this podcast, I try to look at some of the tough questions you have asked me to cover. According to the Bible, we are all selfish and fail God every day because ‘all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23) – so we mess up daily and in which case there appears to be little hope for anyone... or is there?
Why should God hold out the hand of grace to one and not the other? Are we really so self-centred that while we see horror stories unfolding in volumes that we never expected; and we see ea...2021-08-1544 min

The Eagle's Eye PodcastEpisode 38 Eagle's Eye Podcast -The Mount Meron TragedyOn Friday, April 30, 2021, a tragedy happened as tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish people had gathered for the annual Lag B'Omer celebrations at the Galilee tomb of Shimon Bar Yochai, a second-century Rabbi, in northern Israel. Sadly, 45 people were killed, and over 150 injured. But why did this happen, and why were they there?
It is written, “Comfort, comfort My people, says your God... (Isaiah 40 v1), and for sure, it is the right thing to mourn with those who mourn, and we are deeply saddened by the tragic recent events that happened at Mount Meron in Israel. Our thoughts and our pr...2021-05-0737 min

God’s sovereignty is His right and power to do all that He decides to do. Job 42:2 states: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” The sovereignty of God means the supremacy of God and the kingship of God. To say that God is sovereign is to declare that God is "God". So to say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High, doing according to His will. To say th...2021-03-1353 min

Treatment for depression usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes, talking therapies and medicines.

And yet, the ICC has ruled that its "jurisdiction" extends to territories liberated by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, clearing the way for its chief prosecutor to open war crimes probes into Israel’s military actions in Gaza and its presence in Judea and Samaria.

We pick up from where we left off last week, where in Ezekiel 37, God shows the prophet a valley of dry bones. Could this really be depicting the Holocaust? And if so, what about the teaching the church applies to itself? In verse 11 we read, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is gone…” In Hebrew, Hatikvah (The Israel national anthem) means “the hope”. Can any hope come from the Holocaust?

It is believed that on Rosh Hashanah the destiny of all mankind is recorded by God in the Book of Life. After Rosh Hashanah services, as the congregants leave the synagogue, they say to each other... "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life".

Throughout the Bible, the wilderness can function as an image of discord. In some ways, one would think that to end up in the wilderness means that one has a loss of control on your walk with God, and of separation from the safety of society. However this is not necessarily so. Sometimes God can lead you there for a purpose as indeed the Spirit of God led the Son – Yeshua – in the wilderness.
