After the exodus from Egypt, the journey to Canaan involved significant conflicts, including major battles led by Moses before crossing the Jordan (against Sihon and Og) and numerous campaigns under Joshua (like Jericho, Ai, and later confederacies in the South and North), totalling many confrontations during the forty years in the wilderness. 

OG: A GIANT BIGGER THAN GOLIATH

My journey to my personal promise land has been full of hurdles and obstacles. Likewise were many obstacles along the way that the Israelites had to encounter on their way to Canaan. One of them was King Og of Bashan, a giant Amorite king described in the Old Testament (Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua) as a fearsome ruler of sixty cities who was the last of the mighty Rephaim giants. His huge iron bed (or sarcophagus) measured nine cubits by four cubits (approximately 13.5 ft by 6 ft), a testament to his immense stature. His colossal size is even bigger than Goliath who David had famously slew. 

Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites. His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide (Deut 3:11)

 

 

If we compare Goliath with King Og, we find that King Og was much taller. Goliath was about 9 feet 9 inches tall. But King Og was much taller, at least 11 feet tall. Some scholars even believe that King Og was as tall as 18 feet! He was the most feared giant in the Bible!

Goliath vs King Og in size

MOSES DEFEATED OG OF BASHAN

King Og, refused passage to the Israelites, attacked them at Edrei, but was decisively defeated by God's help, with Israel conquering his kingdom of Bashan, just as they had with King Sihon before him, fulfilling God's promise to give them the land. This event is detailed in Numbers 21:21-35 and Deuteronomy 3, showing God's faithfulness and Israel's growing power. 

So whatever GIANTS that you are facing, do not be afraid, for the grace of God will deliver victory to you – be it fear, illness, or financial problems. God is faithful and can overcome any of our enemies, no matter how fearsome or how big they are. Og symbolizes opposition that seems impossible to overcome. Yet, his downfall serves as a reminder that no enemy can stand against God when He fights for His people.

Amen!

“如果写一首诗，我更想写一首给你们的诗，一首 朴素的诗，一首从容的诗，一首高歌猛进的诗，一首敢闯敢为的诗, 一首希望的诗。。”

Canaan is known in religious texts, as the "Promised Land" — the fertile territory God promised to His children, as their everlasting inheritance, a place of blessing and flourishing, symbolising a divine covenant and a fulfilment for His children. 

However, they were terrified to enter Canaan upon hearing of reports of the giants living there. 

As we set out in 2026 to claim our personal “Promise Land” there will be many ‘giants’, many big obstacles and challenges in the way, but God can turn them into our biggest blessings. Be patient, for victory is a process. Little by little He will drive out the giants (Deut 7:22). Just utter His word, for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give the victory unto our hands (1 Samuel 17: 47).

Let’s all be clear in our directions, and be ready to go. Keep praying, keep believing. Let’s all reach our own Canaan in 2026 and beyond. The Canaan where God’s promises to you and all that you have prayed for will be fulfilled. Lets flourish! Amen!

The world is getting more insane than ever. The US sanctions and naval blockade of Venezuela to prevent it from exporting oil is a pure sign of desperation. Set aside the political theatre about protecting democracy and war against drug cartels, the impending US attack on Venezuela is to protect the PetroDollar. For the past 50 years every drop of oil sold had to be transacted in the US dollar. Now there are alternatives like BRICS Pay, Local Currency Settlement and PetroYuan.

GREENLAND (part of Denmark)

President trump has repeatedly suggested the US should buy or seize Greenland - presumably for its vast minerals and oil resources though he cited for national security. He just named a special envoy to Greenland yesterday.

The U.S. with a $1.9 trillion deficit and roughly $9.2 trillion in existing debt maturing in 2025, total issuance needs to exceed $10 trillion for the year to cover all obligations. But who is going to buy the new debt? The Fed to print more money again if there are no takers? 

Japan is selling their US bonds not coz they want to destroy the US but to save themselves. Europe? They are all broke. Their central banks are all choking with government debt. They can't even save themselves. If the Saudis and China buy more of their new debt it's just paying for the funeral coz the patient (US economy) is already dead. With an un-repayable US$38 trillion in national debt and US$1 trillion in interest payments it is technically dead. More money printing will lead to hyperinflation.

Equally absurd is the NATO proxy war using Ukraine against Russia which started in 2014 (Maidan coup) not 2022. The EU is basically broke but trying to find ways to keep the Russian-Ukraine war going. They are even trying to use the Russian frozen assets to fund the war for another 2 years despite warnings from ECB's Christine Lagarde. The globalist elites had wanted to break up Russia into smaller states, and strip it of its resources – oil, gas, uranium and other vast natural resources. Kaja Kallas, the EU foreign policy chief confirmed this. They thought all the sanctions and freezing of Russian sovereign assets will lead to a regime change. But God will not allow it. In the whole of Europe, only Russia still have family values, a male is a male and a female is a female, no in between. No LBGT rights and all those things incongruent with the word of God in Russia. The rest of Europe is morally decadent just like Sodom and Gomorrah.

MY OWN CHRISTMAS FEELINGS

The festive season is in the air as I reflect on what a year that was. The battle scars from 2025 are yet to heal completely but I know by God’s grace all things will eventually turn out for the better. Like the empires of old, love can also come and go, but God’s love is eternal. Friends too come and go. 

Certainly a lot of new acquaintances I only met this year (2025). Not all are meant to journey together with me in my life forever. God will allow some to leave, those that are not meant to go through the next phase of my life with me. They are with you for a season to teach us a lesson and vice versa.  Not all connections are meant to last a lifetime. Some are brief yet the impact is profound.Every soul that enters my life comes with a purpose. Some come as fleeting whispers, while some leave indelible marks on the canvas of our existence. 

GRATITUDE

But be thankful for all the relationships and friendships, for the love and for the lessons they brought. Old and new friends are alike; one is akin to gold and the other silver. They are all precious. Even if there is pain and confusion, find the blessings within those experiences. For it is through challenges we grow the most and discover the essence of who we are. 

I had to learn to be a better person for the next person.  I know I am not perfect, but I am genuine. Before God can use me He must break me deeply. It is not punishment but removing all the obstacles (stubbornness, impatience etc) in me to make me usable, to be a usable vessel of the gospel. There are 4 gospels – Mark, Matthew, Luke & John, but the only gospel most of my friends  will ever read is the gospel I write, the gospel I live. So if you feel your world is falling apart don’t give up. The same hand that breaks you is also the same hands that heals you. Once He has broken you He will fill you with what the world can’t touch – His power, presence and purpose. 

God is still working on me, so I need to be patient and trust His process. He is guiding me to an understanding that I need of myself and others. He is giving me a new identity, not one defined by my past, or shaped by previous traumas, or the opinions of others but one rooted in His truth. God speaks to your new identity and assignment, not your performance or failures. 

Merry Christmas 2025 and may we all rest in His grace in the coming year. His assignment  for you in the coming years are always bigger than you. “God-size assignment” always require “God-size dependence and providence”. His assignment for us will never be small. So I need to keep trusting Him!  

On that note, Merry Christmas 2025!!!

As I was giving a talk on “Trends in Regenerative Medicine" yesterday, I could not but feel ambivalent regarding my own  emotions and my personal life. A life riddled with uncertainty, instability, unsettled and as Dr Eng muttered 人生起起落落 it resonated with me. A career with such a long stretch of downs and moving on in relationships hurts each time, even when moving to a new person as we all want stability not change. We need stability to go far in our career.

With Christmas around the corner and mum’s 89th birthday today I realized I need to get stronger after each setback. Because there is a gift that can’t be bought or sold, that is more precious than all kingly jewels. A gift to the world that is meant to bind us all. Yet the world is divided, full of sorrow, and wars that threaten to wipe out our earthly existence.  

Under God’s protective rainbow, His mercies have endured despite our propensity to self-destruct. Like many of us here, I have made many mistakes in life. I know it is His mercy surrounding me that kept me alive. Where others see mistakes, God sees potential. When I failed badly, God saw restoration. In this coming year let us join our hands together to grow and evolve to a better destiny for us, and our love ones, despite the world being increasingly chaotic. The company plan binds us all to succeed as it is global profit sharing. Dato Jackson shared yesterday at the workshop that if a crab tries to crawl out of a bucket the crab below will pull it back so it will never succeed in getting out. They work against each other and when they see one is ahead they will pull you back. Crabs work against each other but a colony of ants work for each other. Let’s have the “ants” mindset. If you succeed then so will I.

We live in a fallen world. The whole creation has been groaning and travailing in pain right up to the present time (Romans 8:22). Nature itself groans as disasters of increasing magnitude and frequency are afflicting the earth more fortuitously than ever before. The rivers are sick of being polluted. The entire ecology with its flora and fauna is sick of suffering. The whole creation groans and beckons to be delivered.

Mankind himself too has been groaning (Romans 8:23) as we are sick of seeing our loved ones grow old, our young ones struck down by accidents, and our middle aged afflicted by diseases.   

God has already begun His redemption and the deliverance is near. That’s why we have Easter and Christmas. We are seeing the unfolding of the end-times in the book of Revelations. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: white (covid), red (war/bloodshed), black (famine/rationing), and pale/green (one world order). These symbolize escalating judgments and tribulations on Earth as the Lamb (Jesus) opens the seals of a scroll, signalling the beginning of end-times events and God's wrath. 

The black horse signifies famine, and it may come as soon as Trump ends his second term. But we are  set apart and sanctified, not by our own achievements but redemption in the gift of Christ Jesus. Therefore His children will expect abundance not famine. Generosity is not just what God does - it is who He is and Christ is the revelation of that truth.

As the world gets darker, we will shine more brightly. We will be enriched in every way as our soul prosper (3 John 1:2). This confidence is not arrogance, but because our roots is tapping into divine flow, our inheritance in Christ Jesus. 

God Bless!

As I sit here on a Wednesday morning contemplating the road ahead I can feel the hands of God guiding me in my business in this end times. New opportunities have opened and God has laid the base for the end-time wealth transfer for His kingdom work.

Despite Donald Trump’s election pledge to stop the Ukraine-Russia conflict in 24 hours, the war continues. In the latest news Russian troops have encircled more than 10,000 Ukrainian troops in the Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk areas, according to the Russian military.  

We are in the times of the red horse and Trump’s second term is clearly marked  with wars.  The Israel-Iran 12 day war to mention. President Trump may say  that the Ukraine-Russia war is Biden’s war but he hasn’t stopped the weapons from flowing to Ukraine. It is now  clearly Trump’s war as he is selling weapons to Nato who then supplies it to Ukraine. And by the way who funds Nato? The United States of course. 

ASEAN 2025 in Kuala Lumpur

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Asean welcomed United States President Donald Trump's comprehensive plan aimed at ensuring lasting peace in Gaza. As of late October 2025, a temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is currently in effect, though it has been described as fragile and has already seen multiple violations. The ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, after a deal was brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey. Note it is a ceasefire not a peace treaty. 

But as of yesterday Israel continues to bomb Gaza. Will there be everlasting peace in the Middle East? Not according to the Bible. Yes there is a peace agreement signed between Thailand and Cambodia in the recent Asean summit but Trump’s second term is clearly a time of war. 

All who have tried to create lasting peace between Israel and her neighbours have failed;  yet, the Word of God says that one man will appear to succeed. This man’s peace plan will begin the final countdown to the return of Jesus the Messiah.

In light of the urgency to make peace in the Middle East, it is vital to understand what the Prophet Daniel and Yeshua (Jesus) told us about this peace plan and the last days, so we can recognize the times and warn others also. According to Daniel 9:27, a covenant will be "confirmed" by a coming world leader—a deal that appears to bring peace, even restoration of temple worship but will ultimately lead to desolation, not reconciliation! The covenant will be broken!  In between of a 7 years of peace, the covenant will be broken before the second return of Jesus.

Israel Reborn 1948

The Romans dispersed the Jews through military actions that resulted in mass  exile In A.D. 70 and again in A.D. 135, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews among all nations. Remarkably, many of the Jews maintained their identity as a people. The lost tribes, however, remained scattered throughout the world; most of them do not know that they are descendants of Israel.

Yet, politics aside, it cannot be denied that not only have the children of Israel endured despite the harsh treatment they have received, but against all odds, after 2,000 years of exile, the Jewish people have once again returned to the Land of Israel as the biblical prophets promised they would. The Hebrew prophets foretold a day when God would draw His people back to Israel.  So Israel became a nation again in 1948 after 2000 years.

The 4 horse of the apocalypse

The black horse that follows the red horse signifies scarcity and famine. 

Food assistance used by more than 40 million Americans will not be distributed from November  1, 2025 due to the ongoing US government shutdown.  Yes over 40 million Americans rely on food stamps to “eat”.  And in many parts of the western world economies are slumping due to self-inflicted policies. The cost of living is outpacing their incomes, even in many other Asian countries.

Jesus warns us that nations will rise against nations, kingdom against kingdom. 

The Dutch government just seized  Nexperia a privately held Chinese chipmaker by invoking a cold-war era law “Goods Availability Act”.  It is not war with missiles but also with trade, sanctions, blocking access to resources like advanced chips, and tariffs. It is the old guards of world power vs the emerging powers of the day.  In the end who will win?

Indeed we do hear of  wars and rumours of war – from the Houthis attacking ships to the imminent US invasion of Venezuela. Kingdom against kingdoms – the eviction of western imperialism and  resources exploitation of Africa to the G7 nations vs BRICS.  When will it all end and when will there be everlasting peace?  The answer is when Jesus returns.

Today we celebrate “Happy Malaysia day”. As I listen to a clip “Saya Anak Malaysia”, I cannot help but feel grateful for being born in this country. We have peace, relative political stability, abundance of natural resources, and devoid of natural disasters that befalls many countries. Sure not everything is perfect in Malaysia, but we can lead a peaceful life and have ample opportunities to pursue our dreams and career here and abroad. I would not want to be born anywhere else.

NextDC

I often drive pass Jalan 222 and had always wonder what will be built on the empty 10.3 land that was the premise of Malaysian Oxygen (MOX) now Linde Malaysia. Then a few months ago I noticed a new data center “NextDC” being built on the land. 

This RM3 billion data center investment will create many high paying jobs and raise the surrounding property prices.

Malaysia has a significant amount of skilled and experienced personnel, which bodes well for attracting more foreign direct investments, which are essential for the data center industry.  In Malaysia we also have the infrastructure and reliable and ample electricity supply to support data centers and other  AI initiatives. Remember Trump Trade War 1 against China, when the US led-exit of manufacturing into Vietnam had a lot of issues. The Vietnamese infrastructure, electricity supply were inadequate to support an exodus of manufacturing from China to Vietnam. This is probably true for India too.

Google Elimina

I had often cycled past Elmina where Google is investing US$2 billion into a data center there. It will be a regional data and cloud center and expected to generate 26,500 jobs. Imagine the housing needed for 26,500 families. I enquired on the nearby factory lots in Puncak Alam built by EcoWorld and LBS and they are all sold out.

All these investments will have a multiplier effect on our local economy. 

RM169 billion investments

According to Robert Walters, Malaysia is set to secure over RM169.2 billion in AI and data center investments by 2030. It noted that this growth path is being supported by the government's National AI Action Plan 2026–2030, as well as recent data showing RM13.29 billion in approved AI investments in the first half of 2025, which could generate around 6,920 new jobs.

We have a government doing things right and in the interest of our country.

A different parallel

In contrast the Western economies are all in shambles. The United States is US$37 trillion in debt. The country is divided and full of anger within. It is sad to hear that people are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Their youth is facing an “age of deception” whereby their social media and even their lecturers and teachers are polluting young minds with filth. There is so much hate that a 22 year old can carry such a heinous and cowardice assassination on someone whose views he didn’t like. 

European countries were all independent countries with its own identity, democratic and sovereign. Each country will make policies for the best interest of their own country. I liked Italy for Italy and I liked France for France. Each country is unique has its own language, identity and culture. 

But they have now created a superstructure whereby all  policies and decisions are made in Brussels by non-elected officials like Von Der Leyen. Each country is not sovereign anymore.  And if you don’t play ball, they will withhold the money owed to the recalcitrant country. Just ask Viktor Orban of Hungary. (https://theconversation.com/why-has-the-eu-stripped-hungary-of-1-billion-the-latest-confrontation-explained-246614).

The EU parliament is a joke. It is just a ”rubber stamp” parliament like the old Soviet parliament. All the decisions are already made by the non-elected elites who neither represent the people nor interest of the people.  That is why the economies of Europe is in shambles.  This is the third (3^rd) year that Germany will have a GDP contraction, and France and the UK are linked to a possible IMF bailout.  

Why only the West?  We don’t see this in the East – Malaysia, Vietnam, India, China and even Russia a country at war with NATO has a positive GDP growth. Why? Because their leaders are making decisions based on what is good for their countries, not the agenda of the globalist.

Despite not being to churn out an approved budget by the French parliament, Emmanuel Macron still refuses to resign. His tenure ends in 2027. His globalist master have probably told him to hang on till the 2027 elections whereby his latest PM appointee and ally Sebatien Lecornu may be pitted against Marie Le Pen, while he replaces Von der leyen as President of the European Commission. Then maybe Von der leyen will be Chancellor of Germany to maintain the globalist control.

Their objective is to create a United States of Europe with no borders and one common identity. One identity meaning no more Italian identity or no more French identity.  That’s why they implemented no borders but the people still wanted to be French, still wanted to be Italians. Instead then the globalist flooded Europe with mass immigration to dissolve national identities, weaken countries, and establish a single world government or a more centralized global authority. 

European Central Bank

According to the European Union Treaties, the European Central Bank (ECB) is accountable to the European Parliament. In practice, this accountability takes mainly the form of a quarterly Monetary Dialogue between the president of the ECB and the European Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs committee. But can you can trust this puppet European parliament given how they are confiscating or stealing the Russian frozen assets? The monies given to Ukraine are all unaccountable and gone and yet they are still funnelling to a bottomless pit and a lost war.

What is worrying is too much power being to central banks without accountability. Yes banks all had Digital Currencies a while ago. But what is worrying is a Digital Currency under an authoritarian central bank. You can’t donate to this church because the EU don’t like what is being preached; you can’t buy this book coz it criticises the government; you can’t buy this item coz it leaves too much carbon foot print.  Soon without their consent (mark of the beast) we can’t buy a flight ticket to Hungary or Slovakia for holidays as it is deemed as a rogue state by the EU.

Bit by bit you can see that basic rights and freedom is being eroded as per the Bible. It doesn’t happen overnight but subtly over years or decades but the acceleration is clear.  Those without the Holy Spirit are blind to these things as it unfolds. Just that is it more evident in Europe. We know soon it will affect all of us under the New World Order, one world government as Satan wants to rule the world.
