DEAR FRIENDS
Dean Packwood
Editor, Koinonia House
W
e’re well into the start of a new year, full of expectations, perhaps still
sticking to new years resolutions and a little wiser with lessons
learned from the past.
But what if the past is being rewritten, or even erased? Are those
seeking to erase history just trying to forget painful events, hide a link
of responsibility, or is there an even more sinister agenda?
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate
their own understanding of their history.”
George Orwell
This is not just limited to relatively recent historical events. The UN and
UNESCO, for example, have been trying to re-write Biblical history, by
denying Jewish connections to Holy sites and the Land of Israel.
We learn from our past, both successes and failures. How many
testimonies would be rendered meaningless if all pain, bad moments
and failures where left out and forgotten? It’s almost like reading a book
or watching a movie based on a true story, but skipping to the end.
From time to time, we will be including snapshots of history in
the Personal Update, spanning chapters in history, starting with an
interesting article by William Federer. We hope these articles will help
with understanding the context of certain events, present a testimony
of God’s hand throughout history or encourage readers to continue in
thier own historical and Biblical studies.
May God bless you as you continue to study His Word.
In HIS service,
Dean Packwood

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana (1863 – 1952)
P
rior to the Civil War, America was divided into 5 categories:
1) Radical Northern Republicans whose attitude was ‘slavery is
wrong–end it now’. They believed all human lives mattered,
whether on or off a plantation, and all were equal, created in
the image of God. This group included abolitionists,
the Underground Railroad, anti-slavery preachers,
and, unfortunately, the fringe John Brown who shot
at slave owners.

but the South was agricultural and did not have the population from
which to draw new recruits. The war became one of attrition.
Five days after the Battle of Antietam, September 22, 1862, Lincoln met
with his cabinet to draft the Emancipation Proclamation.
Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Portland Chase recorded Lincoln as
stating:
“The time for the annunciation of
the emancipation policy can no
longer be delayed. Public sentiment
will sustain it, many of my warmest
friends and supporters demand it,
and I have promised God that I

On DECEMBER 1, 1862, President Lincoln gave his Second Annual
Message:
“In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free ... We shall
nobly save–or meanly lose–the last, best hope of earth.
Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain ...
a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must

Newly revised and expanded in NKJV hardcover, The Evidence
Bible arms you not just with apologetic information to refute
the arguments of skeptics, but with practical training on how
to effectively and lovingly share the truth.
Discover answers to over 200 questions such as: Why is there
suffering? How could a loving God send people to hell? What about
those who never hear of Jesus?
In addition to thousands of verse-related comments,
over 130 informative articles will help you better comprehend
and communicate the Christian faith.
Over two dozen articles on evolution will thoroughly prepare you to refute the theory.
Dozens of articles on other religions will help you understand and address the beliefs of
Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses, cults, etc.
Hundreds of inspiring quotes from renowned Christian leaders and practical tips on defending
your faith will greatly encourage and equip you.
Includes a Concordance, Topical Subheads, and the Words of Jesus in red.
The Evidence Bible provides powerful and compelling evidence that will enrich your trust in
God and His Word, deepen your love for the truth, and enable you to radically impact those you
care about.
“The Evidence Bible is filled with excellent apologetic tools and insights to help Christians
reason with those who need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I highly
recommend it.”
— Norman Geisler
“In a day when Christians are too often silenced by the questions of skeptics,
The Evidence Bible will help you be prepared to give an answer. Compiled by seasoned
evangelist Ray Comfort, its innovative format makes it especially easy to use. You’ll find it
to be an invaluable tool for becoming a more effective witness.”
— Franklin Graham
“The Evidence Bible is specially designed to reinforce the faith of our times by offering
hard evidence and scientific proof for the thinking mind.”
— D. James Kennedy
“The Evidence Bible is a handy tool for anyone interested in proving the reliability of
Scripture, the deity of Jesus Christ, and the incredible offer of our eternal salvation. It makes
the defense of Scripture easily understood and should be read by all serious Bible students.”
— Tim LaHaye
“The Evidence Bible is a reservoir overflowing with powerful quotes from famous people,
amazing anecdotes, sobering last words, informative charts, and a wealth of irrefutable
evidence to equip, encourage, and enlighten you, like nothing else could. I couldn’t
recommend it more highly.”
— Kirk Cameron
“In our modern scientific age when God’s Word is coming under increasing attack,
Christians need to be equipped with answers to defend the reliability of the Bible from its
very first verse. I thank God for resources like The Evidence Bible and am glad to have had
a small part in it.”
— Ken Ham
“The Evidence Bible will certainly assist you to always be prepared to give an answer to
everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”
— Josh McDowell
Ray Comfort co-hosts (with actor Kirk Cameron) an award-winning television program “The Way
of the Master,” which airs in 70 countries and on 42 networks.

Searching for
the True Location
of Christ’s Crucifixion
Where was the world’s most infamous murder committed? Using eyewitness
testimony of the gospels and the discovery of some ancient tombs just east of
Jerusalem, Bob Cornuke’s Golgotha makes a captivating case that Jesus didn’t die
where tradition tells us he did. Uh, oh. Some people steeped in tradition won’t like
this. But you will. Fascinating read!

for the Ark
of the
Covenant
DVD (1 Hr)
US$14.95
Paperback Book
US$12.00
The search for the Ark of the Covenant has been dramatized in movies and
researched in documentaries over the years, capturing the imaginations of
archaeologists and Christians the world over. Although the final resting place
of the Ark is controversial, and clouded with confusion, explorer Bob Cornuke
believes that the Ark of the Covenant was transported from ancient Israel
and is in Ethiopia today.
As unusual as Ethiopia may sound, Cornuke has uncovered compelling
evidence that the Ark may well have been spirited up the Nile River to an
eventual resting place in the remote highlands of ancient Kush – modern
Ethiopia. Cornuke travels to Axum, where today he believes the Ark is kept in
absolute isolation at St. Mary of Zion Church by a man referred to as
“The Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant.”
Now Bob, using all of his training and skills as a police investigator, takes you
along for a first-hand account of his journey. Join this modern-day Indiana Jones
on his adventure to Ethiopia, Egypt, Israel, and Rome where Bob will uncover
evidence that very well may reveal where the Ark of the Covenant is today.
