61- The Book Of II Peter - Audio King James Version 2 PETER A warning that false teachers will arise and that God will punish this dark and evil world. However, there will be great blessings for believers, when Christ returns. The True Light The opening verse of ch 3—“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you …” (3:1)—suggests that the letter is addres- sed to the same readers as the first letter. Written five or six years later, it tells us that “false teachers” (2:1-3) were threat- ening to divert the ecclesias from the truth. In the last days, some would even deny the Second Coming of Christ (3:4). The apostle Peter, inspired by God’s Holy Spirit, proclaimed true teaching, like the prophets of God in Old Testament times (1:21). This letter, meant for believ- ers everywhere, reminds us that God’s Word of prophecy is like a lamp, shining in a squalid world (1:19), to which we need to give careful attention. Great and Precious Promises Peter reminds his readers of the “exceeding great and precious promises” (1:4) … “the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour” (3:2). Faith in these things comes first; then there must be a response (v 5-7) if one’s “calling and election” is to be made sure (v 10). Eye-Witnesses of his Majesty Peter was one of three apostles who saw Jesus “transfigured”, while they were with him on a high mountain (see Matthew 17:1-9). In this vision, Jesus appeared in glorified immortal nature, as he will be seen in the future kingdom on earth. The promise that believers might also be made “partakers of the divine nature” (1:4) had been underlined by this incident to which Peter refers (in 1:16-18). “Where is the promise of his coming?” Those to whom Peter wrote needed the reassurance that, though the faith was threatened by evil influences, God will judge the wicked and preserve the righteous—just as Noah was saved from the Flood (2:5), and Lot from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (2:6-8). There were some who were starting to doubt that Christ would return: “Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (3:4). Peter assures them: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise… The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which, the heavens shall pass away … Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (3:10-13). Peter and Paul In the concluding few verses, Peter makes an interesting ‘cross-reference’ to Paul’s epistles (3:15,16)—an incidental confirmation that the apostles knew of each other’s ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpLLTGtQgj8

It is customary that unmarried and young men dance, alternating in separate groups, occasionally the married women and men break in and join the festivities. Married women utter a quavering shrill (ukukikiza). When the young women (izintombi) dance, the young men clap and play the drum and vice versa. Zulu Dances Ingoma (isizingili) This is a dance performed by boys and girls without drums and accompanied by a chant. The girls wear woolen skirts and are usually bare-chested. They also wear rattles made of seedpods around the ankles to accent the high kicks. The Ingoma is one of the purest remnants of Zulu tradition. Boys and girls perform the dance for transition ceremonies such as coming of age, weddings. In the past it was performed before a hunt as well as before battle. For the youth it instils the tradition of sharing experiences and building solidarity through communal dance. Ingoma (isishameni) A harmonising performance with boys and girls together but dancing separately. The boys clap while the girls dance and vice-versa. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl2vBBjDSKo

The Zion Christian Church (or ZCC) is the largest African initiated church operating across Southern Africa. The church's headquarters are at Zion City Moria in Limpopo Province, South Africa (Northern Transvaal). According to the 1996 South African Census, the church numbered 3.87 million members. By the 2001 South African Census, its membership had increased to 4.97 million members. The final number of ZCC members is most likely between 8 and 10 million, in total, according to figures provided by Neal Collins from The New Age and Alex Matlala from The Citizen, two South African newspapers. History The ZCC was founded by Engenas Lekganyane in 1910 after a long journey of trying to find a spiritual home. After being educated at two Anglican missions, Lekganyane joined the Apostolic Faith Mission in Boksburg. He then joined the Zion Apostolic Church schism and eventually became a preacher of a congregation in his home village during late World War I. After falling out with the ZAC leadership, Lekganyane went to Basutoland to join Edward Lion's Zion Apostolic Faith Mission. Lekganyane ZCC members trace the founding of the church to a revelation which Lekganyane is said to have received from God on the top of Mt Thabakgone. After splitting from Lion, Lekganyane used his home village of Thabakgone, near Polokwane (Pietersburg), as a headquarters, with about twenty initial congregations in the Northern Transvaal, the Witwatersrand, and Rhodesia. In 1930 Lekganyane began building a stone church there. After clashes with his chief, Lekganyane was expelled with his church still unfinished. Determined to obtain land, he eventually purchased three farms in the Polokwane area. Maclean Farm near Thabakgone would eventually be renamed as "Moria", the ZCC's headquarters. The ZCC was officially registered in 1962 after the government's reluctance to recognise one of the continent's largest and most influential churches. The early church was strongly influenced by the doctrines of the Christian Catholic Church of John Alexander Dowie, based in Zion, Illinois in the United States of America, and by the teachings of the Pentecostal missionary John G. Lake, who began work in Johannesburg in 1908. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzCQ9IASGAw
