The Gospel of Luke records one of the most striking teachings of Jesus regarding the future. In Luke 21:5–11 , Jesus responds to the disciples’ admiration of the temple’s beauty by offering a sober prophecy—one that speaks not only to the events of their time but also to the spiritual posture believers must cultivate in every age. ⭐ A Beautiful Temple, A Sobering Truth As some people marveled at the temple’s stones and offerings, Jesus gave a startling reply: “The days will come when not one stone will be left on another.” The temple, the pride of Jerusalem, symbolized stability, worship, and identity. Yet Jesus reveals a crucial truth: Earthly structures, no matter how magnificent, are temporary. Only God’s word and God’s kingdom endure. ❓ The Disciples’ Question Shaken by the prophecy, the disciples ask: “Teacher, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign?” Like many of us today, they longed for clarity, timing, and certainty. But Jesus shifts their fo...

A Vision of Kingdoms, Power, and the Everlasting Rule of God The Book of Daniel contains some of the most profound prophetic imagery in Scripture. One of the most captivating is King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream described in Daniel 2:31–45 —a dream that reveals the rise and fall of world empires and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom. In this passage, Daniel interprets the king’s vision of a colossal statue, each part made of different materials, symbolizing successive earthly kingdoms. The dream dramatically shows that human empires, no matter how grand, are temporary , but God’s kingdom lasts forever . ⭐ The King’s Vision: A Terrifying Statue   Daniel begins by recounting the king’s dream: “O king, you saw a great statue—large, bright, and terrifying.” This magnificent figure—glittering metal, towering height, and awe-inspiring presence—reflects the splendor and power of human rulers. Yet its mixed composition hints at the fragility hidden beneath the surface. 🗿 T...

  When Singapore gained full independence on 9 August 1965 , it stood at a crossroads — a small island with no natural resources, deep social divides, and uncertain political stability.

    By Andrews Elsan In every classroom, we meet different kinds of students — toppers, average scorers, silent learners, emotional souls, talented multitaskers, and even the misled ones. But as soon as school ends, a surprising truth appears: Marks decide your result card, but character decides your future. In this blog, let’s look at some common student types and what life usually holds for them beyond the classroom. 1. The High Scorer Who Is Weak in Co-Curricular Activities Academically brilliant. Teachers remember their answers. Parents feel proud. But life demands more than marks: Communication Creativity Leadership Adaptability Confidence Without these, many toppers struggle later because they only learned to answer questions , not to handle situations . Life Outcome: Good start, but stagnant progress unless they learn real-world skills. 2. The Moderate Scorer with Strong Practical Skills Not a topper, not a failure — but talented in m...
