    The Patrol of The EarthZechariah 1:7-11 (NKJV)7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet: 8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were horses: red, sorrel, and white. 9 Then I said, “My lord, what are these?” So the angel who talked with me said to me, “I will show you what they are.” 10 And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are the ones whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro throughout the earth.” 11 So they answered the Angel of the LORD, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is resting quietly.”Zechariah 6:1-8 (NKJV)1 Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, 3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses–strong steeds. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth. 6 “The one with the black horses is going to the north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.” 7 Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth. 8 And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country.”

    Revelation 20:1-15 (NKJV)1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

    Hosea 7:1-161 And the injustice of Ephraim will be uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, because they worked falsely. And a thief will enter toward him, a robber stripping him on his way, 2  in order that they may sing together as singing in their heart. All their wickedness I remembered. Now their counsels have encircled them; they have come opposite my face. 3  By their wicked acts they cheered kings, and rulers with their lies. 4  All are committing adultery, like an oven being lit for the cooking of the burning from the flame from mixing of dough until it is leavened. 5  As for the days of your kings —the rulers began to be angry from wine; he stretched out his hand with plagues. 6  Because their hearts were lit up like an oven when they broke in pieces. Ephraim was sated the whole night of sleep. In the morning they were born, he was lit up like a light of fire. 7  All were warm like an oven, and they ate their judges. All their kings fell. There was not one among them who was calling to me. 8  Ephraim was mingling with his peoples. Ephraim was a cake baked in the ashes that was not turned over. 9  Foreigners ate his strength, but he has not learned. And gray hairs flourished for him, and he did not know it. 10  And the pride of Israel will be made low to his face, yet they did not return to the Lord, their God, and they did not seek him in all these things. 11  And Ephraim was like a silly pigeon, not having a heart. Egypt used to be called upon, and they went to Assyria. 12  Whenever they go, I will throw my net upon them. As the birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will rear them in the sound of their affliction. 13  Woe to them, because they have turned away from me. They are wretched, because they have acted impiously toward me. But I ransomed them, but they have spoken lies against me. 14  And their hearts did not cry to me; rather, they howled in their beds. They used to gash themselves for corn and wine. 15  They were taught by me, and I strengthened their arms, and they devised evils against me. 16  They turned back to nothing. They became like a bent bow. Their rulers will fall by the sword on account of a lack of control over their tongue. This will be the contempt of them in the land of Egypt.” Rick Brannan, Ken M.

    The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event described in the New Testament where Jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–13, Luke 9:28–36) recount the occasion, and the Second Epistle of Peter also refers to it.In the gospel accounts, Jesus and three of his apostles, Peter, James, and John, go to a mountain (later referred to as the Mount of Transfiguration) to pray. On the mountaintop, Jesus begins to shine with bright rays of light. Then the Old Testament figures Moses and Elijah appear, and he speaks with them. Both figures had eschatological roles: they symbolize the Law and the prophets, respectively. Jesus is then called "Son" by the voice of God the Father, as in the Baptism of Jesus.The real question is if Moses and Elijah time traveled to speak with God...

I am your teacher. 3  I knew Ephraim, and Israel is not far from me, because now Ephraim has committed fornication; Israel has been defiled. 4  They did not give their counsels to turn toward their God, because a spirit of fornication is in them, and they did not recognize the Lord. 5  And the pride of Israel will be humbled to his face, and Israel and Ephraim will fall sick by their injustices, and Judah will also fall sick with them. 6  With sheep and calves they will go to seek out the Lord, and they will not find him, because he has turned away from them, 7  because they forsook the Lord, because foreign children were fathered by them.

    Hosea 4The Charge against the Priests and the People1  “Hear a word of the Lord, O sons of Israel, because the Lord has a dispute with those who inhabit the land, because there is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land. 2  A curse and a lie and murder and theft and adultery has been poured out upon the land, and bloodshed is mixed upon bloodshed. 3  On account of this, the land will lament and be diminished with all those that dwell in her, with the wild beasts of the field, and with the reptiles of the land, and with the birds of the heavens; even the fish of the sea will come to an end, 4  in order that nobody may either judge or reproach anybody. But my people will be like a priest who is opposed. 5  And he will be sick during the day, and a prophet will be sick with you. I have made your mother like night. 6  My people has become as if it possesses no knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, so I will reject you from being a priest to me. And you forgot the law of your God, so I will forget your children. 7  In accordance with their multitude, thus they sinned against me. I will turn their glory into dishonor. 8  They will eat the sins of my people, and they will take their souls by their injustices. 9  And just as the people will be, so also the priest, and I will avenge against him his ways, and I will repay him his counsels. 10  And they will eat and never be full; they prostituted themselves and did not prosper, because they neglected the Lord, to guard fornication. 11  The heart of my people received both wine and intoxicating drink. 12  They inquired with omens, and they would bring news to him with his rods. They were led astray by a spirit of fornication, and they have fornicated away from their God. 13  They would sacrifice upon the summits of the mountains, and make offerings upon the hills, under an oak and a white poplar and a shady tree, because it is good shelter. Because of this, your daughters will commit fornication, and your brides will commit adultery. 14  And I will not look upon your daughters when they prostitute themselves, and upon your brides when they commit adultery, because the men would mingle with the prostitutes, and make offerings with those who have been brought to an end, and the people who understand would entwine with a prostitute. 15  But you, O Israel, do not be ignorant, And you, O Judah, do not enter into Gilgal, and do not go up into the house of Beth-aven, and do not swear by the living Lord. 16  Because Israel used to be irritated like an irritated heifer. Now the Lord will tend them like a lamb in open space. 17  Ephraim, partaking in idols, set traps for himself. 18  He chose Canaanites; fornicating themselves, they were sexually immoral. They loved dishonor through its insolence. 19  You are a commotion of wind in its wings, and they will be put to shame by their altars.”

    Humanity May Reach Singularity By 2030 Darren Orf 11/30/2024 By one unique metric, we could approach technological singularity by the end of this decade, if not sooner.A translation company developed a metric, Time to Edit (TTE), to calculate the time it takes for professional human editors to fix AI-generated translations compared to human ones. This may help quantify the speed toward singularity.An AI that can translate speech as well as a human could change society. In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society. The tricky thing about AI singularity (and why it borrows terminology from black hole physics) is that it's enormously difficult to predict where it begins and nearly impossible to know what's beyond this technological “event horizon.” However, some AI researchers are on the hunt for signs of reaching singularity measured by AI progress approaching the skills and ability comparable to a human. One such metric, defined by Translated, a Rome-based translation company, is an AI's ability to translate speech at the accuracy of a human. Language is one of the most difficult AI challenges, but a computer that could close that gap could theoretically show signs of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). “That's because language is the most natural thing for humans,” Translated CEO Marco Trombetti said at a conference in Orlando, Florida, in December 2022. “Nonetheless, the data Translated collected clearly shows that machines are not that far from closing the gap.” The company tracked its AI's performance from 2014 to 2022 using a metric called “Time to Edit,” or TTE, which calculates the time it takes for professional human editors to fix AI-generated translations compared to human ones. Over that 8-year period and analyzing over 2 billion post-edits, Translated's AI showed a slow, but undeniable improvement as it slowly closed the gap toward human-level translation quality. On average, it takes a human translator roughly one second to edit each word of another human translator, according to Translated. In 2015, it took professional editors approximately 3.5 seconds per word to check a machine-translated (MT) suggestion—today, that number is just 2 seconds. If the trend continues, Translated's AI will be as good as human-produced translation by the end of the decade (or even sooner). “The change is so small that every single day you don't perceive it, but when you see progress … across 10 years, that is impressive,” Trombetti said on a podcast. “This is the first time ever that someone in the field of artificial intelligence did a prediction of the speed to singularity.” Although this is a novel approach to quantifying how close humanity is to approaching singularity, this definition of singularity runs into similar problems of identifying AGI more broadly. And while perfecting human speech is certainly a frontier in AI research, the impressive skill doesn't necessarily make a machine intelligent (not to mention how many researchers don't even agree on what “intelligence” is). Whether these hyper-accurate translators are harbingers of our technological doom or not, that doesn't lessen Translated's AI accomplishment. An AI capable of translating speech as well as a human could very well change society, even if the true “technological singularity” remains ever elusive.

    John 16:16-33 (NKJV) 16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, ‘because I go to the Father'?”18 They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while'? We do not know what He is saying.”19 Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'?20 “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.21 “A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.22 “Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.24 “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.26 “In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;27 “for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.28 “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!30 “Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?32 “Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

So he divided to them his livelihood.13“And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.14“But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.15“Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.16“And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.17“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!18‘I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,19“and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” '20“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.21“And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.23‘And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;24‘for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.25“Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.26“So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.27“And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'28“But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.29“So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.30‘But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'31“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.32‘It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' ”

    The “name it and claim it” or “prosperity gospel” is not biblical and is in many ways antithetical to the true gospel message and the clear teaching of Scripture. While there are many different versions of the name it and claim it philosophy preached today, they all have similar characteristics. At its best, this teaching comes from the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of some Scriptures, and, at its worst, it is a completely heretical teaching that has the characteristics of cultic doctrine. The roots of the Word of Faith movement and the name it and claim it message have more in common with new age metaphysics than with biblical Christianity. However, instead of us creating our reality with our thoughts, as new age proponents advise, name it and claim it teachers tell us that we can use the “power of faith” to create our own reality or get what we want. In essence, faith is redefined from “a trust in a holy and sovereign God despite our circumstances” to “a way of controlling God to give us what we want.” Faith becomes a force whereby we can get what we want rather than an abiding trust in God even during times of trials and suffering. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/maranatha-ministries/support
