Orchids of Western Borneo

Western Borneo is a wild home to thousand of species orchids. I believe many still yet to discover, but species as Grammatophyllum, Paphiopedillum, Bulbophyllums etc. are hidden inside the rainforest to be discovered.

Travelling to Pontianak, capital of Western Borneo is easy. There are flight from Indonesia major cities such as Jakarta, Jogja, Batam etc. From overseas now there are direct flight from Kuching and Singapore. Just travel to Singapore via Air Asia and then board the domestic Batavia Air from these two cities to Pontianak. If you are a keen orchid collectors, I can help you around (I am a collector as well). Just drop a note in the comments.

Here some photograph of "popular" West Borneo orchid especially the Coelogyne pandurata or "Anggrek Hitam".

Empat Pandangan Millenium di Eskatologi

Berikut translate Bahasa Indonesia dari beberapa sumber mengenai empat pandangan study Eskatologi mengenai masa Millenium. Sebagian besar adalah berasal dari rangkuman Dr. David R. Reagan dalam website lamblion.com.

Di akhir ringkasannya Dr David menekankan dua hal yang perlu diimani setiap peneliti Kitab Wahyu / Revelation Book:

1. All agree that Jesus is coming back for His saints. / Semua setuju bahwa Yesus akan kembali.


2. All agree that the redeemed will spend eternity in the presence of God. / Semua setuju bahwa yang ditebus (oleh Yesus) akan menikmati hidup yang kekal bersama Tuhan.
