Site-Manager · Posted on June 21, 2018September 26, 2018

Unlike many of the other Biblical people with whom Israel had to deal, like the Hittites, Philistines, Egypt, Assyria and Babylon, the Amalekites were never a kingdom nor an empire. They were a tribe who populated the area to the south of Israel and were basically nomadic. Who were they? Amalek, their original tribal chief …

When we first moved here, we obviously had no idea how to get around. Thankfully Erik Sandstrom had left behind a map book in the van and we used it any time we went anywhere. A few months later we got a Sat-Nav device, but over time it became a point of pride when we …

Welcome to this Autumn 2018 issue of The New Age. I have watched Andrew Marr’s History of the World (UK Open University Course). The first of eight episodes was fascinating, but one event thrilled me. The Yangtze River in China floods every now and then causing havoc especially in ancient times. One mighty Chinese emperor …

Site-Manager · Posted on April 17, 2018June 21, 2018

I have a long-standing fascination with fractals. They are defined as “… infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.

We’re continuing a series about those nations with whom the Israelites were involved in their long Old Testament history. The first one, in the previous issue of The New Age, was about the Hittites.
