JUDAS MACCABAEUS

GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL (1685-1759)

Dr Thomas Morell’s libretto is based on the events of 165 BC recorded in the Book of Maccabees, when Judas ‘the hammerer’ led Jewish forces against the invading Seleucid king Antiochus IV ‘Epiphanes’. The Gideon-like Jewish hero won brilliant victories against numerically-superior forces. Fighting for their ‘liberties, religion and laws’, the Jews rid the nation of Greek-inspired paganism, hitherto welcomed by liberal sections within the nation. An assault on all things Jewish by Antiochus led to widespread cruel persecution. The godly, patriotic and aged Mattathias killed a compromising Jew who engaged in pagan sacrifice. He then called upon other loyalists to follow him and his five sons, John, Simon, Judas, Eleazar and Jonathan, to the mountains, from where a series of effective guerilla campaigns were launched. While the heroism of Judas is justly celebrated, his brother Eleazar’s suicidal exploit in piercing the under-belly of one of the enemy’s ‘tank regiment’ elephants is also remembered. Judas’ cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem is commemorated by the Feast of Hanukkah (alluded to in John 10:22). 		Download
The LORD’s Compassion

THE LORD'S COMPASSION!

What amazing grace Christians are called to proclaim to the world! Focusing initially on our Saviour's parable of the prodigal son, followed by a detour to Paul's letter to the Ephesians, Dr Clifford poses a question: "Are we thrilled and amazed at the Gospel?" If not, why not? Is there not a crisis in the church that we are not more zealous in reaching out? If so, then why? An answer is given to these urgent questions. In the course of his exposition, Dr Clifford cites John Calvin as both a rebuke and an inspiration for Gospel outreach in today's world. https://youtu.be/0el0brI3MKA 		Download
Approaching the End

APPROACHING THE END

As I approach my inevitable demise, my dear friend Dr Hazlett Lynch has asked me for a testimony, for the encouragement of others. I am asked to focus on my deepest thoughts as a Christian man in his eighties, my fears and doubts, and how I defeat them; what I am looking forward to; any uncertainties I might have and how I deal with them.

PACKER IN PERSPECTIVE (2) The second of two sequels to his videos on Richard Baxter, Dr Clifford presents a personal assessment of Dr J. I. Packer's legacy, with particular reference to Packer’s book 'Among God’s Giants'.

"Just finished watching the first video. Fascinating. And valuable. It will be useful in the future for scholars and others to reflect on your conclusions, and follow the evidence you have laid down. For me, all you say seems irrefutable. Rock solid. I was captivated by your personal testimony, and your insights, not least into the non-appearance of the ‘Reply to Alan Clifford’. Baffling. Or maybe, as you suggest, not so baffling. The remarks of your friend regarding Packer by the fireside brought to my mind what they used to say about Cranmer taking on the colours of the last guest to stay at Lambeth Palace! There IS something very Cranmerian about Packer (not a compliment). Anyway, wonderful stuff, expertly delivered."
