I think it's very easy to get caught up the things we don't have, much to the detriment of the things we do have.

First of all I am grateful the Lord has blessed me with another day in His creation.

I am grateful for another day to better know He that provides and sustains.

I am grateful for my job even though I feel tired and don't like getting up early, I am grateful I have an income.

I am grateful for my health. I am not without health problems, but I can function, work, worship and hopefully contribute to those around me.

I am grateful for friends I can fellowship with, whose friendship brings my gaze back to Christ through His reflection in them and their deeds.

I know I am not alone in taking the good for granted, and I am going to be making a conscious effort to be more grateful throughout each day.

I just finished making a new chart on the crowns/no crowns on the 7 heads of the beast. Hopefully, this new chart will make the understanding very clear.

Regarding the heads as kings, Revelation 17, Revelation 12, Revelation 13 cover three distinct periods.

Revelation 17 at the time of John, 1st century
Revelation 12 is the final 7 years before Jesus returns
Revelation 13 is the final 42 months before Jesus returns.

The seven heads do not have crowns on them in Revelation 17, 1st century, at the time of John, because the prophecy of the seven kings is incomplete at that time. King 7 was still future of John's time.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (a short space of 42 months)

The seven heads do have crowns on them in Revelation 12, at the start of the 7 years before Jesus's return. Because King 7 will have come to power, completing the prophecy of the 7 kings.

The seven heads again do not have crowns on them in Revelation 13, with 42 months before Jesus's return. Because King 7 will have been killed, ending the prophecy of the 7 kings.

King 7 then comes back to life to become King 8, the beast (the beast king of Revelation 17:11). The beast king will be empowered by Satan, the scarlet colored beast of Revelation 17:3. Read Revelation 13:4.

GOD’S APPOINTED DAYS, (Yom Teruah, or Rosh HaShannah)


ROSH HaSHANNAH or YOM TERUAH

This is the first of the Fall Feasts or Festivals. Leviticus 23:24 reads:

"In the Seventh month, on the first of the month, you will have a Shabbat rest, a remembrance of Shofar blowing, a Holy gathering."

Many think that this is a "Jewish" appointed day of celebration, but no, it is a "Biblical" appointed day, for ALL believers. It just started with the Jewish people. Yet we are free to choose, we can honor and celebrate it, or let it pass by like any other day. We all have the freedom of choice. We cannot judge one another; some will celebrate, and others will not. Let the Holy Spirit be our guide. In this Messianic subForum, I am hoping that all will celebrate it.

Today, September 23rd, is indeed the First of Nissan. The first day of the seventh month (according to the Hebrew calendar). So, Happy "Day of Shofar blowing", Happy New Year." In the Hebrew calendar, there are basically "two new years". One is in April, during Passover time, the "Religious New Year" for counting the months. Today, is the "geophysical new year", according to Hebraic tradition. This was the time the Earth was created by God, 5786 years ago (according to tradition). I believe we also have different "new years". There is the Gregorian New Year on January 1st. There is a new "School Year" that many start in September. There is a "New Fiscal Year" for businesses for accounting purposes. This is also a "New Year" for agricultural purposes, too (always connected to the earth).

This is a time of reflection. The king is coming. King Yeshua/Jesus. How do you want Him to find you? Where are you? Where are you supposed to be? Are you where you are supposed to be? Spiritually speaking? You know what is right and wrong. You know what the Bible teaches. Adonai’s instructions speak loud and clear, in black and white. Is there interference? Static? If we are not where we need to be, we must “Shoov” ourselves around before we end up in the deep end without knowing how to swim. The Hebrew word "Shoov" means "To return, or turn around, go back"

We must “turn” “repent” have a “change of mind and heart. We must “turn” and “return” back to the basics of the faith, back to the Torah of Adonai. If you fail and test, you must “return” to the books and study some more. You forgot your car keys, so you “return” to your house to get them. Or else, the car isn’t going anywhere, and neither are you. If our carnal self has overpowered us and is warring against our spiritual nature, then you must “return” to Yeshua, and repent of our sins. He told the adulterous woman, “I forgive you, go and sin no more”. Forgiveness and a change of heart and mind go together.

We also know the story of the Prodigal Son, who "returned" to his father. The father forgave him. He did not lose his "sonship," yet he did lose blessings; he squandered his inheritance, but he was still forgiven.

The blowing of the Shofar is a "wake-up call." It is a time for "renewed life". Adam received the "breath of life" when God breathed into his nostrils. A shofar is blown using our breath. Our breath is passed through a narrow opening in the shofar and resonates throughout the whole horn, thus producing a loud sound, a sound of praise from a "God made" instrument. It can be made from the horn of a ram or from a "Kudu" (an African antelope), look it up on Google images.

So, this is preparation for us, a call of warning and a call of praise. The King is coming back, real soon. Are you ready to receive him? to go with him? He is gathering his own. Are you part of "his own?" If you want to know more about Yom Teruah, just Google it, and also look at the "YouTube" videos under "Yom Teruah/ Rosh HaShannah.

Shalom. Happy Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said that "all options" were on the table for stabilizing Argentina, including swap lines and direct currency purchases, while underscoring President Donald Trump's confidence in Argentine President Javier Milei and his economic team.

Argentine financial assets rallied on Monday on the news, with U.S.-traded stocks up over 10% and the peso strengthening, after sharp drops in recent weeks that included international bonds declining more than 20% for the year through Friday.

Markets have been roiled by corruption allegations inside Milei's circle and a larger-than-expected loss in a local election in Buenos Aires, reflecting growing frustration with austerity measures and triggering investor concern over Milei's ability to continue to reshape the economy, with October midterm elections on the horizon.

Bessent, a former hedge fund executive, said he did not see a risk of financial contagion from the fallout and underlined Washington's confidence in Argentina's implementation of economic reforms.

Argentina in April signed a new $20 billion four-year loan deal with the IMF, where the U.S. is the biggest shareholder. The deal required the country to dismantle years-long currency controls and loosen its grip on the peso, but economists say the currency remains overvalued.

[Bessent] said the Trump administration hoped to solidify what it sees as a rightward shift in Latin American countries, including potentially Colombia.

Going back to the oldies! Supporting potentially-corrupt rightwing governments in South America.

A Trump bailout would bolster Milei’s hopes of stabilizing the South American country’s currency, reassuring the financial markets and improving his prospects for the October 26 legislative elections.

A court has ruled that a couple’s lawsuit against a Michigan school district over concealing their daughter’s gender identity change from them can proceed.

Dan and Jennifer Mead filed a complaint against Rockford Public School District officials over its policy of keeping their daughter’s self-declared gender identity a secret from her parents.

United States District Judge Paul Maloney, a George W. Bush appointee, issued an opinion and order last week that partly denied and granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Maloney wrote that the lawsuit “contains sufficient factual allegations to support a claim for a violation of Plaintiffs’ fundamental rights as parents in the care, custody and control of their child, a right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.”

This may look like "school" but I can't help it.

There are some adult faith formation opportunities at the parish closest to me. I'm interested in one or two of them but I'm getting very nervous at the thought of them. It's the same kind of "stage fright" nerves that I had in school. It's a very large parish (population-wise) and I feel that going to these things is doomed because (1) It will probably be compromised of parishioners and not outsiders and (2) It will probably be compromised of parishioners already in their cliques and I will find it intimidating to try to sit somewhere. You would think that I grew out of this stuff after seventh grade - no I didn't.

There is another faith formation opportunity at the parish I was confirmed at and there is a chance I may know a few more faces there, in spite of the cliques. However, the first parish is right around the corner, and I think that place may ultimately be a better fit for me, but I only know the person who is heading the event.

The reason why these matters carry such weight for me is that the church family may be the only family I'll ever have. I want to choose wisely but I can't know if I'm choosing wisely unless I try it out.

ABC Reporter on Trump at UN. "A pugilistic and pugnacious President peppering his presentation with a lot of little pills of poison."

Trump rambled at the UN that:-

* their climate predictions will be wrong because they have 'stupid people' working in climate science (ha ha ha - irony much!!?),

* he ended 7 wars. (Nurse! Nurse! He's out of bed again!)

* the EU should adopt the SAME immigration tactics as Trump.

* international immigration is their fault and because of it all the other countries in the world are 'going to hell'. (What kind of international statesman SAYS that to the UN!?)

* Trump is SO much better than Joe Biden! (Relevance at the UN? Do you know where you are?)

* he was a great real estate developer and even looked at redeveloping the UN site. (Who cares? Relevance? Oh yeah - his NPD cares! The world might forget how utterly fantabulous Trump is - so he'd better toot his own trumpet at them! He needs his narcissistic supply and all that.)

Man, idk why Fox and the NY Post aren’t all over this one. Maybe it’s because the victim didn’t die. Maybe it’s because her attacker is white and a fugitive from a red state. Who knows?

We live in a time when God’s Word is more accessible than at any other point in human history, yet we engage with it less. We scroll endlessly, refresh constantly, and binge on a multitude of screens every day.

Yet, when it comes to the book that holds the very words of life, all too often, our response is plain and simple inaction.

And the cost of that inaction is measurable.

According to Lifeway research, only 32% of American churchgoing Protestants (those who attend services at least twice a month) read their Bibles every day. Even more startling, a whopping 12% of these faithful churchgoers — who many of us might deem the ‘A-team’— admit they “rarely or never” open the Scriptures at all.

Rarely or never at all?

Josiah Queen’s lyrics in his recent song are hauntingly true:

The Church Will Remain; The Papacy Must Fall​

Yes, “we have, other times, had ‘bad popes’”. My conclusion drawn from hearing the passages below is that “yes but….”. The papacy has always had a root problem – that is, concupiscence – that will effect (by prophecy, I conclude) the fall of the papacy itself before the End. The petrine dimension of the Church will fall before, but the johannine dimension of His Church will remain even until the Second Coming and the final end of this creation.

We can see two or even three “primacies” in types originating in the Twelve. Jesus shows us a “trinity of primacies” among the Apostles Peter, James and John, gathered in the Transfiguration scene (Mt 17) – window to the Second Coming in Glory. They saw His Glory – and with Him Moses of the Law and Elijah of the pre-Christian prophets. Peter – the type of the petrine dimension in the Church – would have the primacy of governance, the papacy. James, type of the jacobian dimension, the first apostolic martyr, would have the primacy of self-sacrifice in blood after Christ. John – type of the johannine dimension in the Church – has the primacy of divine [agapaō] love – holy supernatural charity – in the Church: John “the Beloved Disciple.”

The johannine and the jacobian dimensions in the Church will remain, but the petrine church will fail and must (according to prophecy) fall at the End, completely corrupted by a false prophet – in apostasy – sitting in the Chair of Peter.

We [Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute’s CEO forum] just hosted a large gathering of top CEOs, primarily Republicans, and you might be surprised by what we heard. While many of them have been willing to support the president out of patriotic duty—and dismay over some Democratic policies—they are increasingly questioning who truly stands to benefit from the maelstrom of chaos, fear, and confusion that he has intentionally created.

The Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute’s CEO forum gathers top political leaders with Fortune 500 CEOs for a Chatham House rules discussion where direct quotes are off the record. In Washington DC this week at the 155th gathering, as clouds swirled around the Capitol building just steps away, senators from both parties and some top Trump administration officials joined us. They had to face down the near unanimous verdict from over 100 top business leaders, representing some of the world’s largest companies and most iconic brands: Trump’s policies aren’t working.

Two-thirds of the CEOs surveyed at our event said that U.S. tariffs have been harmful to their businesses. They estimate that 80% of the tariffs have been shared equally between domestic firms and U.S. consumers, with the remainder shouldered by foreign counterparts.

Just as frustrating for CEOs is the lingering sense that this entire house of cards might collapse at any moment due to a court reversal. Nearly three-quarters of all executives surveyed said they [thought] the courts are correct in saying Trump’s tariffs are illegal as implemented. If the Supreme Court agrees with those business leaders, then corporate America’s plans will be thrown into disarray again amid halting uncertainty.

CEOs told us they still believe in the promise of the U.S. and its capitalist system, but it’s hard to ignore the Trump administration’s drift toward a quasi-socialist statism, seizing ownership from private shareholders, dictating staffing, and selectively blocking moves into strategic markets based upon politics and kickbacks. ... they expressed a near-unanimous discontent as the Trump administration has veered away from the capitalist system.

When one commenter compared MAGA to the Maoist movement, there wasn’t an outcry of disagreement. Quite the opposite.

Hello all,

What is the EO's position on the Ancient Church of the East and the Assyrian Church of the East? I know they are relatively small in number, and are not considered either Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, or Catholic.

Why are the church as a whole silent about spiritual warfare and the reality of the demonic and the attacks, and either do not want to hear about it, do not want anything to do with it, do not believe in it etc? When it is clearly happening and have happened ever since the time of Jesus and beyond and half of the bible is about it? And the command how we should do it? And talking about the attacks of the enemy? And the armour of God? how can there be armour of God to put on if we are not in spiritual battles?

A Sacramento man charged with shooting into the lobby of an ABC affiliate after the network suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show previously called on people to pray for President Donald Trump’s demise in one of several anti-Trump posts on his social media.

Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, reportedly fired at least three shots into the window of the ABC10 affiliate last Friday, according to the Sacramento Police Department. While the building was occupied at the time of the shooting, no one was physically injured.

Authorities announced on Saturday that they had identified the vehicle connected to the case and arrested Hernandez Santana on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.

As Variety reported on Friday, the suspect’s LinkedIn page states that he worked as a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers from December 2013 to January 2015. He also worked as a health policy analyst at the California Rural Indian Health Board from May 2016 to June 2018, before working as a self-employed health policy consultant from August 2018 to October 2020.

A new study has identified the specific conditions under which Protestant pastors are more likely to leave ministry. Though few exit before retirement, those who do tend to face common stressors within their churches and personal lives.

One of the strongest indicators of longevity was whether pastors shared their personal struggles with others in their congregation, according to a study by Lifeway Research.

Pastors who said they opened up at least monthly to lay leaders were 2.2 times more likely to still be serving, while those who regularly spoke with a Bible study group were 3.9 times more likely to stay.

The analysis also found that isolation was closely linked to burnout, with 68% of former pastors reported feeling isolated in their role. Pastors who reported feeling more isolated were 1.7 times less likely to still be in ministry.

Family dynamics also played a significant role, as pastors who reported putting family ahead of pastoral duties when time conflicts arose increased their chances of staying in ministry by 1.7 times. Involving family members in ministry also positively influenced a pastor’s longevity.

He’s never held public office or donned a judge’s robes, but an arch-conservative Los Angeles County attorney is racing toward confirmation on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

A competitive target shooter with a background in a cryptocurrency, Eric Tung was approached by the White House Counsel’s Office on March 28 to replace Judge Sandra Segal Ikuta, a Bush appointee and one of the court’s most prominent conservatives, who is taking senior status.

A new father and still a relative unknown in national legal circles, Tung found an ally in pal Mike Davis, a reputed “judge whisperer” in Trump’s orbit.

In the past, senators from a potential judge’s home state could block a nomination — a custom Trump exploded when he steamrolled Washington senators to install Eric D. Miller to the 9th Circuit in 2019.

Tung has been tight-lipped about his ascent to the country’s busiest circuit. He did not respond to inquiries from The Times.

Both Tung and his wife Emily Lataif have close ties to the anti-abortion movement. Tung worked extensively with the architect of Texas’ heartbeat bill; Lataif interned for the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion policy group that seeks to make IUDs and emergency contraception illegal and opposes many forms of in-vitro fertilization.

When asked by Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware whether he believed IVF was protected by the Constitution, Tung declined to answer.

Sen. Adam Schiff pushed the nominee for his opinion on Loving vs. Virginia, the 1967 case affirming interracial marriage.

“Was that wrongly decided?” the California lawmaker asked the aspiring judge.

“Senator, my wife and I are an interracial couple, so if that case were wrongly decided I would be in big trouble,” Tung said.

“You’re willing to tell us you believe Loving was correctly decided, but you’re not willing to say [Obergefell and Lawrence v Texas] were correctly decided,” Schiff said. “That seems less originalist and more situational.”

Ellen White clearly taught that Jesus is Jehovah, the great I AM of the burning bush with Moses and who led the Children of Isreal and revealed Himself when He came as the Christ. Jesus Claims About Himself...
John 8:48-58.
48 The answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

With solemn dignity Jesus answered, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.”

Silence fell upon the vast assembly. The name of God, given to Moses to express the idea of the eternal presence, had been claimed as His own by this Galilean Rabbi. He had announced Himself to be the self-existent One, He who had been promised to Israel, “whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity.” Micah 5:2, margin.

Again the priests and rabbis cried out against Jesus as a blasphemer. His claim to be one with God had before stirred them to take His life, and a few months later they plainly declared, “For a good work we stone Thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that Thou, being a man, makest Thyself God.” John 10:33. Because He was, and avowed Himself to be, the Son of God, they were bent on destroying Him. Now many of the people, siding with the priests and rabbis, took up stones to cast at Him. “But Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.” (Desire of Ages, 470.1)

Ellen White clearly showed who Jesus was, as seen in more of her writings:

Ellen G. White wrote:The Pre-existent, Self-existent Son of God.--Christ is the pre-existent, self-existent Son of God.... In speaking of his pre-existence, Christ carries the mind back through dateless ages. He assures us that there never was a time when He was not in close fellowship with the eternal God. He to whose voice the Jews were then listening had been with God as one brought up with Him.--Signs of the Times, Aug. 29, 1900.

He was equal with God, infinite and omnipotent.... He is the eternal, self-existent Son.--Manuscript 101, 1897.

From Everlasting.--While God's Word speaks of the humanity of Christ when upon this earth, it also speaks decidedly regarding His pre-existence. The Word existed as a divine being, even as the eternal Son of God, in union and oneness with His Father. From everlasting He was the Mediator of the covenant, the one in whom all nations of the earth, both Jews and Gentiles, if they accepted Him, were to be blessed. "The Word was with God, and the Word was God." Before men or angels were created, the Word was with God, and was God.--Review and Herald, April 5, 1906.

Christ shows them that, although they might reckon His life to be less than fifty years, yet His divine life could not be reckoned by human computation. The existence of Christ before His incarnation is not measured by figures.--Signs of the Times, May 3, 1899.

Jesus declared, "I am the resurrection, and the life." In Christ is life, original, unborrowed, underived. "He that hath the Son hath life." The divinity of Christ is the believer's assurance of eternal life.--The Desire of Ages, p. 530 (1898)

I know it is a 7 hour video. But it was such a beautiful event that not only honored Charlie Kirk, but God. The worship brought me to tears.

Does your prescription now cost $100? No problem. If you believe Trump, you will not only start getting it for free, but you will get paid $900 every time you get the prescription!

Because that is what a 1000% cut in prices means.


Not my circus. Not my clown.

The giant is beginning to roar.

We live in very troubled times. Lies and liars abound everywhere. Not many and not much can be trusted to be of the truth and to tell the truth any more. There is so much deception in the world around us, and sadly within many of the gatherings of what are called “churches,” too. So many have altered and diluted the message of the gospel of our salvation to make it more acceptable to the ungodly of the world and to human flesh, and to be less offensive to the world they are trying to attract to their gatherings.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing are numerous. They are the malicious, the morally unclean, deceivers, manipulators, opportunists, the untrustworthy, liars, egocentrics, and fakes who fake their Christianity in order to deceive the people with their lies, and who are rapidly multiplying. They take the Scriptures out of their correct biblical context, and they twist them to say what is not truth, and they post them on the internet and include them in their sermons to turn people away from genuine biblical salvation.

But the Lord has some of us Christians, who are believing and following after the truth of the gospel, out in the public and on the internet teaching the truth of the gospel and refuting the lies of Satan which are coming against the truth of the gospel and which are leading many people to hell on the promise of heaven when they die. And we are teaching what Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught as the gospel in its correct biblical context. And we are calling people to die to sin and to obey God and his commands.

Now, from all physical appearance, it appears that many are not listening, and that the majority appear to be rejecting the truth of the gospel in favor of the lie which is permeating the gospel message and the church. For the liars have been very successful in convincing the many that the truth is a lie and that the lie is the truth. For the lie teaches that you can profess faith in Jesus Christ and now all your sins are forgiven and heaven is guaranteed you when you die, while obedience to God is discouraged or made optional.

And God has been very patient, and he has given all who profess his name plenty of time to repent of their sins and to now commit their lives to obeying him, in practice, and to putting sin to death in their lives daily, by the Spirit, and to walk in holiness and in righteousness in the power of God. But it appears that the masses have continued to believe that their sins will not keep them from salvation and eternal life with God. But God says if sin is our practice, and not obedience, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

And if we read the book of Revelation, beginning with the letters to the churches, warning 5 out of 7 of them of their need to repent of their sins or to face the judgment of God, and this was regarding not just then, but the last days before the return of Christ, then we should realize that God means business when he says we are to repent of (turn from, die to) our sins and obey God and his commands or we will not have eternal life with God, but we will be cast into hell. So, please know and believe the truth, not the lies.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

Gospel:[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]
