Walking and Talking with Jesus

Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out? I believe He had to lighten up and laugh with those misfits He called to be with Him 24/7 for three-and-a-half years. I appreciate how THE CHOSEN film series has captured some of those shenanigans and how patient Jesus is with each of the disciples. And the same goes for us and our shenanigans in our own lives…

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed the recent approval, stating "This year we have done great things for the settlements. Along with the housing unit approval, we are promoting the series of settlements, land surveys, security, roads, and other announcements in Judea and Samaria on an unprecedented scale."

ISRAEL REALTIME - "Connecting the World to Israel in Realtime"

▪️3 HERO SOLDIERS FALL… over the last day in fighting in Gaza.  May their memories be a blessing and their families comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

▪️HOSTAGE MURDERED… The family of 21-year-old Yonatan Samarno, who was kidnapped from the party in Re’im, was informed that he was murdered.

▪️JUDEA-SAMARIA… IDF operated overnight in Jenin, huge explosion.  Clashes in the Aida camp, north of Bethlehem.  Clashes and shoulder rocket fire in Qalqilya.

▪️MDA SAYS RED CROSS COLLABORATES… Magen Dovid Odom (equivalent to the Red Cross): the Red Cross refused to pass on information to the MDA about the condition of the hostages who were transferred to them. The director general of MDA to the chairman of the organization's delegation a message: “You are not neutral.”

▪️ISRAEL (BUDGET) POLITICS… After the announcemens that he will oppose the vote on the budget, Economy Minister Barkat: "The budget of the Ministry of Economy as it currently stands does not provide a satisfactory solution for businesses (impacted) in the south and north. I believe we can reach agreements on the issue, everyone understands that this should be our top priority."

▪️ON THE BABY HEADLINE… some difficulties with WhatsApp, not everyone got the caption.  Two days ago we reported on videos of photographers taking a series of horror-mourning photos with a grandfather and mother holding and mouring the death of a… very obvious silicon baby doll.  Yesterday those photos showed up as the front page of an Iranian newspaper on the horrors of the Gaza war for the ‘civilians’. 

▪️INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT HEAD PROSECUTOR VISITS ISRAEL… “My visit to Israel was conducted at the request of family members and friends of Israeli citizens who were either killed or taken hostage by Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups on 7 October 2023.   In both Kibbutz Be’eri and Kibbutz Kfar Azza, as well as at the site of the Nova Music Festival in Re’im, I witnessed scenes of calculated cruelty. The attacks against innocent Israeli civilians on 7 October represent some of the most serious international crimes that shock the conscience of humanity, crimes which the ICC was established to address…

I called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages taken by Hamas and other terror organisations. There can be no justification for the holding of any hostages, and in particular the egregious breach of fundamental principles of humanity through the taking and continued holding of children. Hostages cannot be treated as human shields or bargaining chips.  https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-concludes-first-visit-israel-and-state-palestine-icc-prosecutor

▪️HAMAS COPIES OUR FORMAT… Hamas is now putting out a daily update modeled on our format.  We’re touched!

What's your take on the settlements in the West Bank though?

Short answer: arrrrggghhhh

Longer answer:

I wrote and deleted a whole thing when I found this video of the history that I think it worth watching because it helps people visualize what's going on and how entangled Palestinian and Jewish settlements are. It's part of a series, and the whole thing is worth watching if you want to familiarize yourself with the basics although I think it has a bias and omits consideration of some of the bigger strategic aspects at play.

Politically, the West Bank is a jumble of ideas about people, power and land and all the ways these can be combined. There are several possible outcomes of the current conflict: a single state, a single state with enclaves, or 2 independent states. A state could be Jewish, Muslim, or secular with a spectrum of population and power balances. All of these options vary in popularity. Like any good foreigner, I favor a solution that is locally unpopular on both sides - a 2 state solution. And I think the idea of an international force running Jerusalem is pretty good too. The '2 states for 2 peoples' camp did gain ground in the early aughts though, so it may still take effect.

The West Bank settlers tend to be one of 3 types:

religious zealots who want all of Judea and Samaria for Jews because God gave it to them

Israelis looking for cheap housing and a subsidized quality of life as long as there are enough guards to ensure they feel secure

Americans who want to recreate the Wild West feeling but with Judaism (not kidding, they're a sizeable and loud chunk of this group)

The proportions wax and wane depending on government support. If Israel doesn't support a settlement with infrastructure and armed guards, the more radical elements populate it. But subsidies have also drawn in people for more prosaic reasons. You don't need to be too religious or radical, just confident that one day this land that exists outside of Israel's national boundaries (but has occupied since 1967) will be yours because it's not like anyone else might want it... wait, that is radical isn't it? Which is why I hate the idea of these settlements.

The process of radicalization happens on both sides, and I don't think people realize that this is a central aspect of the conflict. I hear commentary that Israel's campaign in Gaza will breed an entire new generation of radicals, but little thought is apparently given to the impact Hamas' attack had on Israelis. By targeting civilians and killing indiscriminately - even notable peace activists like Vivian Silver - it gives more radical Israelis justification for an increasingly hardline stance. The intense antisemitism of the Islamist movements fuels increasingly anti-Arab sentiment and actions. Few Israelis will look at the Oct 7 attacks and think these are people they want to live next door to. That is the desired effect of terrorism, after all - to strike terror into your heart. The reactionary rage comes later.

A notable feature in this conflict is that more moderate people are neutralized - often violently - by extremists on their own side. Signing a peace treaty with Israel has been hazardous to the health of multiple high-ranking officials. Hamas splintered from the PA because the PA made compromises with Israel, and if Hamas gets torn down, the PIJ is waiting in the wings with even harsher, hardline politics. Moderates in Israel have been pushed aside by increasingly right-wing governments. Any attempts at compromise are met with radicals who try to supplant moderates in power, or test the limits and will of those in power. So, the West Bank settlers are to Netanyahu what the PIJ are to Hamas. After Oct 7, WB settlers had easy access to retaliate against their Arab neighbours and, in turn, we see growing support for Hamas over the PA in the West Bank among Arabs as life sours as the conflict boils over. And so over time those currently in power are one step more radical than those who came before, and they are in turn under pressure from those who are a step beyond.

The West Bank faction don't just take action in the West Bank, they're the same faction that pushed for Israel to declare itself a specifically 'Jewish homeland' in 2018, which was a slap in the face for Arab Israelis and shifts Israel away from democratic values and toward a religious nation state, which makes peace ever more elusive. (Vox suprisingly has a fairly informative article explaining why people are critical of this move.)

So how do the settlers ruin the prospects for peace? The boundaries of Israel have shifted, mostly expanding outward, following numerous wars in the region. The borders of 1948 and 1967 aren't the same. And Palestinians are left negotiating for less and less land with every iteration. Now... Israel has largely fought defensive wars and it's not uncommon for the winning side to seize disputed territory when they've won the war. However, the Oslo accords carve out the West Bank to an almost uninhabitable degree for Palestinians living there. Maintaining enough security for Jewish settlers means operating under military law, with checkpoints and restricted roads that make economic development impossible. This is largely a result of settler actions, forcing the Israeli government to include them in their negotiations. One look at a map demonstrates how convoluted any separation would be. Settlers have, in essence, used the Palestinian tactic of refusing to declare their statehood to their advantage.

For anyone confused about how this works, Palestine has never and does not exist as a state. It has 'leaders' and 'de facto leaders' but not a president. Palestinian might, roughly, define a group of people, but Palestine isn't a real place you can find on a map. This has served groups like the PLO very well. By refusing to accept statehood, or even accept Israel as a state, or even accepting the war of 1948 is over... they are hard to pin down in negotiations. Thus their hopes that they can somehow win a better settlement in the future is kept alive. But it also means that settlers can move into the West Bank because it's not the country of Palestine, it's not anything, it's just Israeli occupied territory that is currently under dispute.

The kindest interpretation of this view I can give is 'if Arabs can live on Israeli land then why can't Jews live on Arab land'. Israel at some points has encouraged this settlement process, but is starting to find it expensive to police and politically limiting. It showed up as a major issue in the Abraham accords, with a proposed land swap for alternate territory to be given to Palestine in order to prevent the unpopular move of having to relocate several hundred thousand Israelis. But of course the land swap idea isn't popular either.

Personally, if Palestine decided to declare its independence along the green line - I'd support that move. I think Israel should as well and signal to its settlers that they would need to decide whether they want to relocate or live under a Palestinian government. Now, if a strictly Muslim state is going be created by hardliners, this won't work well, but if Israel can live with a 20% Muslim population then why can't Palestine live with a 20% Jewish population? Well, I know why... but I still don't think peace needs to be delayed because a bunch of people decided to ignore international law.

The Books of the Bible: Old Testament (2 of 2) The Books of the Bible in order with introductions and summaries for the Old Testament.

Wisdom Literature: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon

Job Through a series of monologues, the book of Job relates the account of a righteous man who suffers under terrible circumstances. The book's profound insights, its literary structures, and the quality of its rhetoric display the author's genius.

Psalms The Psalms are collected songs and poems that represent centuries worth of praises and prayers to God on a number of themes and circumstances. The Psalms are impassioned, vivid and concrete; they are rich in images, in simile and metaphor.

Proverbs Proverbs was written to give "prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young," and to make the wise even wiser. The frequent references to "my son(s)" emphasize instructing the young and guiding them in a way of life that yields rewarding results.

Ecclesiastes The author of Ecclesiastes puts his powers of wisdom to work to examine the human experience and assess the human situation. His perspective is limited to what happens "under the sun" (as is that of all human teachers).

Song of Solomon In ancient Israel everything human came to expression in words: reverence, gratitude, anger, sorrow, suffering, trust, friendship, commitment. In the Song of Solomon, it is love that finds words–inspired words that disclose its exquisite charm and beauty as one of God's choicest gifts.

Major Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel

Isaiah Isaiah son of Amoz is often thought of as the greatest of the writing prophets. His name means "The Lord saves." Isaiah is a book that unveils the full dimensions of God's judgment and salvation.

Jeremiah This book preserves an account of the prophetic ministry of Jeremiah, whose personal life and struggles are shown to us in greater depth and detail than those of any other Old Testament prophet.

Ezekiel The Old Testament in general and the prophets in particular presuppose and teach God's sovereignty over all creation and the course of history. And nowhere in the Bible are God's initiative and control expressed more clearly and pervasively than in the book of the prophet Ezekiel.

Book of Poetry and Songs: Lamentations and Daniel

Lamentations Lamentations consists of a series of poetic and powerful laments over the destruction of Jerusalem (the royal city of the Lord's kingdom) in 586 B.C.

Daniel Daniel captures the major events in the life of the prophet Daniel during Israel's exile. His life and visions point to God's plans of redemption and sovereign control of history.

Minor Prophets: Hosea Through Malachi

Hosea The prophet Hosea son of Beeri lived in the tragic final days of the northern kingdom. His life served as a parable of God's faithfulness to an unfaithful Israel.

Joel The prophet Joel warned the people of Judah about God's coming judgment—and the coming restoration and blessing that will come through repentance.

Amos Amos prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah over Judah (792-740 B.C.) and Jeroboam II over Israel (793-753).

Obadiah The prophet Obadiah warned the proud people of Edom about the impending judgment coming upon them.

Jonah Jonah is unusual as a prophetic book in that it is a narrative account of Jonah's mission to the city of Nineveh, his resistance, his imprisonment in a great fish, his visit to the city, and the subsequent outcome.

Micah Micah prophesied sometime between 750 and 686 B.C. during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Israel was in an apostate condition. Micah predicted the fall of her capital, Samaria, and also foretold the inevitable desolation of Judah.

Nahum The book contains the "vision of Nahum," whose name means "comfort." The focal point of the entire book is the Lord's judgment on Nineveh for her oppression, cruelty, idolatry, and wickedness.

Habakkuk Little is known about Habakkuk except that he was a contemporary of Jeremiah and a man of vigorous faith. The book bearing his name contains a dialogue between the prophet and God concerning injustice and suffering.

Zephaniah The prophet Zephaniah was evidently a person of considerable social standing in Judah and was probably related to the royal line. The intent of the author was to announce to Judah God's approaching judgment.

Haggai Haggai was a prophet who, along with Zechariah, encouraged the returned exiles to rebuild the temple. His prophecies clearly show the consequences of disobedience. When the people give priority to God and his house, they are blessed.

Zechariah Like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, Zechariah was not only a prophet, but also a member of a priestly family. The chief purpose of Zechariah (and Haggai) was to rebuke the people of Judah and to encourage and motivate them to complete the rebuilding of the temple.

Malachi Malachi, whose name means "my messenger," spoke to the Israelites after their return from exile. The theological message of the book can be summed up in one sentence: The Great King will come not only to judge his people, but also to bless and restore them.

"A series about palestinian jew, who grew up in constant displacement, who fought in a pacifist way, against the roman regime during their colonization of Palestine."

Renaming the ancient land of Judea, Samaria, and Galilee to just Palestinian is the most revisionist thing I have ever heard in my life. "A palestinian jew" you walnut, he was a Galileean. "Constant displacement" are you seriously calling 'moving to Egypt for a few years so as to not get murdered by the Herods' Constant Displacement???

Good Grief, if you won't go read the most accurate 1st and second hand accounts at LEAST go read Flavius Josephus🙄

1.- "moving to Egypt for a few years, to not get murdered[..]" Dude, my guy...read that again. Look up the definition of displacement. Him and his family couldn't have been the only ones who ran away during that situation.

2.- He was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth. Both are in occupied Palestine. And sure maybe reducing Judea,Samaria and some to just "Palestine" or "Palestinian territory" may have been and overshoot, for that i apologize. I'll reeducate myself and redact the post on it.

3.- Any particular reason you're sending this to me in such a butt hurt way? If i have ever made a mistake of some sort, please provide with sufficient resources to educate me, as I'm a human being willing to educate myself, as long as its done in a proper and respectful way.

If you are doing this just for the sake of opposing either the support towards Palestine and Gaza or because deep down you don't want your stupid little christian show to be potentially boycotted, i urge you to block me.

The fact that you came in anonymously already speaks volumes.

Update from the Mod: Annual Report of the ABF (Oct2023)

Somewhat late, but it’s that time of year when we look back and note all that Andrew has been doing over the last twelve months.

It’s fair to say that since  update22 Andrew has had a tumultuous year, with his personal exploits often overshadowing his screenwork, as far as the tabloid newspapers are concerned. 

At this time last year, we were looking forward to:

Carnival Row s2

Intrigo: Samaria     [6 years on, still waiting]

Better 

COBRA Rebellion (s3)

At the beginning of 2023 yet another series of In the Doghouse appeared on Channel 4, with Andrew narrating.

As far as we fans were concerned, everything happened in February: 

BBC drama Better premiered in Leeds with extensive TV and press interviews and we finally met Col McHugh with his Irish brogue.

In the same week filming for ‘darkly comic’ Passenger, written by Andrew, got underway in Lancashire, starring Wunmi Mosaku and David Threlfall.

Then just days later Carnival Row s2 finally aired with Andrew in the central role of Mikulas Vir

At the end of the month we were shocked when revelations about the break up of Andrew’s marriage started to appear in various tabloids. These have continued at regular intervals throughout the year, usually regurgitating the same story, reportedly from friends. This undoubtedly unwanted attention has spawned some dodgy paparazzi photos too.

In October Cobra Rebellion aired on Sky/NOW. We haven’t yet spotted Andrew though….?!

This year's fanpic:

Finally, just this week, Andrew’s new project - thriller Black Doves -was announced by Netflix. That'll keep us going through the winter!

Meanwhile…..

….. ABF now has an archive of over 5,000 different posts, 26 themed pages and 380 followers.

Thank you to all Andrew fans – especially to @madandi  @geminigmo @llywela13 and @theknittycritter ​and the many other new regular fans this year.

Best wishes to Andrew and his family for the coming year. 

Cheers – demurely1

ATHENS—Following their sermon series tour in synagogues throughout Judea and Samaria, the apostles have come under fire for their message. Critics say that they have yet to publicly repent of their internalized whiteness, instead preaching “repentance of sin.”

“We object to ‘sin’ as a category. ‘Repentance’ sounds okay, as long as you’re repenting of internalized whiteness and you’re never forgiven or restored or brought into unity,” said Areopagus spokesperson Demetrius. Stoics, Epicureans, and other pagans at the Areopagus concurred, adding that backlash against the apostles was “understandable.” The message of repentance fails to acknowledge disparities of privilege and status among sinners, critics say, and disparity of wealth and power is the only real sin.

Aside from pagan blowback, respected religious leaders have also weighed in with agreement, adding that the apostles lack nuance and winsomeness by not acknowledging their historic status as oppressors. “The apostles are fixated on forgiveness and restoration, and they’re missing the main point: as white people, they are the ones who need forgiveness. It’s too bad they can’t ever have forgiveness. Because they’re white, of course.” When asked if the apostles count as “white” given that they’re Middle Eastern Jews, the religious leaders explained that “white” is more of an idea than an actual race.

At publishing time, the apostolic notion that “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female” but “all are one in Christ Jesus” was labeled racist for failing to account for historic oppression of different ethnic groups.

Freemasons and Vatican Officials Seek Cooperation

On February 16, 2024, some high level clergy of the Roman Catholic Church in Italy met with three Grand Masters of the Freemasons. Since the Vatican has prohibited its members from being Freemasons, why might this be? Are there related 'globalist' interests? Do the Freemasons assert that Pope Francis' encyclical 'Fratelli Tutti' (Brothers All), saying the Church had finally embraced “universal fraternity" is in line with "the great principle of modern Freemasonry"? Are there any biblical reasons to consider that the Church of Rome and the Freemasons may cooperate? What is Freemasonry according to the Freemasons? Could at least one of the kings mentioned in Revelation 17:12 be a Freemason or at least have ties to it? Are there any scriptures that suggest that the Freemasons may betray the Church of Rome? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

A written article of related interest is available titled 'Freemasonry and the Destruction of Rome?'

LATEST BIBLE PROPHECY INTERVIEWS

LATEST NEWS REPORTS

[ancestorsofjudah]

2 Kings 23: 15-18. "The Tomb."

Continuing our deconstruction of the errors made by the Kings of Israel and Judah. We know now the signs of the age include repatriation of the Israeliates in their own territory and an end to all of the shrines, Asherah Poles and altars that are keeping them separate from their point of origin and their ongoing destiny as the protectors of the human race.

The passage that follows revisits the high place or attitude called Jeroboam, "may the people contend" that presupposes people in positions of power get to have whatever they want, however and whenever they want it.

Every sovereign territory on the planet has a constitution that defines the responsibilities and privileges of its heads of state. Deviation and violations are not allowed. The government of the United States, for example is not sovereign at this time because President Biden has not prosecuted a series of violations perpetrated by the Trump Administration starting with election fraud in 2016 and pretty much everything else Trump did while he was in office. Many, many unconstitutional, state, and local laws were violated and the real issue- more than a few international laws were violated as well.

Our international partners need to be able to expect the principals of sound government, the very same that confer sovereignty are followed in order to ensure global social and ecomomic order are maintained. When these are not adhered to, who knows what will happen next? No one wants to hazard a guess as to what kind of atrocities are in our future, like the invasion of Ukraine, or the Mormon infiltration of Hamas because a tyrant went unchecked.

Thus, when a tryrant like Donald Trump or Valdimir Putin surfaces, he and his cohorts must immediately be put to death and free elections must be held in order to protect the world from abuses of power.

Joe Biden has also not arrested the Supreme Court Justices that overturned RVW. The rights of women are protected by international law in the UN Declaration of Human Rights:

Paragraph 7.3 [Reproductive rights] includes [couples' and individuals'] right to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence, as expressed in human rights documents.

This violation of international statutes protecting reproductive rights is a sign of a tyranny, and this can prevent a nation from enjoying sovereign status. Many states are trying to revoke LGBTQ rights and this is also a risk to national sovereignty under the terms of the UN Charter and Declaration.

Sovereigns and presidents are not immune from prosecution for Crimes Against Hunamity or War Crimes. The belief they are protected and should be allowed to continue to hold office and commit such crimes is called a high place, and it is not so high it is immune from common sense or the law.

The opposite of a high place is a low place, a sacred place called a tomb. Read why this is the case below:

15 Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. 

16 Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things.

17 The king asked, “What is that tombstone I see?”

The people of the city said, “It marks the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced against the altar of Bethel the very things you have done to it.”

18 “Leave it alone,” he said. “Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they spared his bones and those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.

Jeroboam son of Nebat desired everything he laid his eyes on. He believed the increase in the wealth of the people meant more for him. Sovereigns are supposed to behave in the opposite manner and increase the wealth of the nation for the sake of the national interest. The nation is the high place, the Sovereign supports it from underneath.

This belief turns a jurisdiction, like the entire planet into what is called Bethel, "The House of God":

"The noun בית (bayit) means house. It sometimes merely denotes a domestic building, but mostly it denotes the realm of authority of the house-father, or אב (ab).

This ab is commonly the living alpha male of a household, but may very well be a founding ancestor (as in the familiar term the "house of Israel"). The אב (ab) may also be a deity, in which case the בית (bayit) is that which we know as a temple.

In the larger economy, a house interacts with other houses. These interactions are governed by the אב (ab), or "father" and executed by the בנים (benim), or "sons": those people living in the house, irrespective of any biological relation with the אב (ab). The "sons" combined add up to אם ('em), which means both "mother" and "tribe"."

Within the Melachim, the Torah and the Tanakh itself we see the problems associated with sovereignty aren't within the law, just the high places, or unfounded or illegal positions taken against it.

The Values in Gematria for the above verses explain:

v. 15: Ground to powder....the Value in Gematria is 8924, חטבד, hattab, "the well." A well is an oath, the commitment to become a productive, self-sufficient, enlightened human being. What happened to this? Human nature must first be ground down then raised up again as the Book of Genesis states.

"G‑d then formed man out of dust of the ground, and He blew into his nostrils a soul of life, and man became a living being." (Gen. 2:7)

"G‑d then formed": We do not find any mention of "creation" in this verse, for both the body and the soul were formed of pre-existing matter: the body from earth, and the soul from the essence of G‑d. (Sefer HaMa'amarim 5748, p. 14) Adam (and Eve) were created in the form of mature, twenty-year old adults. (Bereishit Rabbah 14:7)

So owning the body of a man is not enough.

v. 16: Burned the bones, defiled the altar. The Value in Gematria is 10961, א‎אֶפֶסטואֶפֶס‎, epistophias, "the snake's office."

Bones on the altar means we must willingly view the evidence against us. If we cannot admit we succumbed the snake and decided to use each other's bodies in order to create slag instead of choosing to live here appropriately (as our laws insist), we have no hope for redemption.

v. 17: The Tombstone of the Man From Judah= Jacob when he fought the angel and then married Leah and gave birth to the 12 Tribes. The Tribal Leaders are the keys to the gate of re-entry to Eden.

The Value in Gematria is 9775, טזז‎‎ה, tezza, "the thesis". Judaism's central thesis is the redemption of mankind back to the edenic state of the garden.

v. 18: The prophet from Samaria is Elisha, "the spirit of the government."

"The verb ישע (yasha') means to be unrestricted and thus to be free and thus to be saved (from restriction, from oppression and thus from ultimate demise).

A doer of this verb is a savior. Nouns ישועה (yeshua), ישע (yesha') and תשועה (teshua) mean salvation. Adjective שוע (shoa') means (financially) independent, freed in an economic sense."

The Value in Gematria is 6161, וא‎ו‎א, and oh, "the hearth." The Hebrew heart and hearth are the cause of all that is worthwhile in civilized life.

The high places and Asherah poles are clear distortions of what was intended by God, a long time ago, to create a way of life we are actively disregarding and the price for this will also be very high.

Our sages and religious personalities from the past examined human nature and left scriptures or tombs behind to help us understand the plight of humanity at any given time and what caused it to suffer. We pay them no heed. We say we know we should, that we want to, but we don't. Alas, this might mean we are at last a lost cause.

If we live long enough mankind will read the contents of this forum and realize we made huge mistakes allowing Donald Trump's inauguration to take place, the same thing for the invasion of Ukraine, and also the existence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, all horrible horrible mistakes, contradicted by the laws of God and also of man.

If we want to make this better before it is way too late, and perhaps it already is, millions are dead, we must look down not up. And America needs to be the first to do it. Sovereignty and self-government are a privilege associated with the upkeep of certain standards.

The world cannot abide the presence of a nuclear power that cannot manage its affairs in the utmost or risk the chance religious extemists mjght topple its leadership and project force against its neighbors or international partners, including the people of Israel their favorite target. We won't be sorry if we reflect upon these things and resort to the laws we have written in order to fix our mistakes.
