Four classical Jewish sources, spanning nearly two thousand years, foretell a cataclysmic war involving Persia (Iran) at the End of Days. These are not vague allusions. They are specific, detailed, and converging on the very geopolitical reality unfolding before our eyes. 1. Pesikta Rabbati, Piska 36 “Rabbi Yitzchak said: The year in which the King Mashiach is revealed, all the kings of the nations will provoke one another. The King of Persia will provoke the King of Arabia…and the entire world will be thrown into panic and confusion.” 2. Talmud Bavli, Yoma 10a The Gemara records a dispute regarding a prophesied war between Persia and Rome at the End of Days. One opinion holds that Persia will fall to Rome; the other holds that Rome will fall to Persia. The passage establishes that a decisive confrontation between these two civilizations must precede the arrival of Mashiach. 3. Tosafot, Avodah Zarah 2b The succinct 7 line Tosafot o details how Edom will squash Persia. Their downfall clears the stage for Redemption as this final event precedes Mashiach's imminent arrival 4. Kli Paz — Rav Shmuel Laniado (1603–1657), Commentary on Isaiah 34:6 Writing over four hundred years ago, this great Mekubal of Aleppo identified “Bozrah” in Isaiah's prophecy as the Hormuz. He declared that a “great slaughter” (Iran) would take place there at the End of Days, and sealed his words with a blessing: “Happy is the one who understands this sign before the Redemption.” On this show, Tamar speaks with Reb Doniel Stochel, author of the upcoming book: 'THE FINAL REDEMPTION' as he takes us through prophetic sources of what we might expect, especially concerning Iran, and the Final Redemption.

The Asphyx (1972) In this episode, we dive deep into the 1972 British science fiction horror cult classic, The Asphyx (also known as Spirit of the Dead or The Horror of Death). Set in the Victorian era, this unique period chiller follows a wealthy philanthropist and amateur scientist, Sir Hugo Cunningham, who stumbles upon a way to photograph the "Asphyx"—the Ancient Greek spirit of death that appears at the precise moment of a person's demise.A Quick Mea Culpa on Picture QualityBefore we get into the meat of the film, we have to address the elephant in the room: the visuals. Throughout the episode, you'll hear us absolutely tear into the "pan and scan" and the ropy, grainy picture quality of the version we watched.Full disclosure: We've since realized we were watching a particularly bottom-of-the-barrel DVD. It turns out there are actually stunning, high-quality HD versions of The Asphyx available for free on YouTube! From the Todd-AO 35mm widescreen transfers to beautifully restored prints, the real film looks pretty good. If you want to see what Freddie Young actually intended, go search for it—it's easy to find and looks worlds better than the disc we suffered through.Inside the Episode: Behind the Lens of a Horror Oddity. Despite our technical hurdles, The Asphyx is a fascinating piece of British cinema history. We explore the career of director Peter Newbrook, who rose from a messenger boy to the second unit photographer for the legendary mirage shot in Lawrence of Arabia. Key Discussion Points:The Legend Freddie Young: How a three-time Academy Award-winning cinematographer ended up shooting a 70s mad scientist flick. The Ghostbusters Connection: We examine the theory that this film's spirit-trapping tech was the direct blueprint for the 1984 Ghostbusters equipment. The Remake That Never Was: Details on the failed 2011 reboot that was set to star Bond girl Alison Doody. Music: Composer Bill McGuffie (of Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. fame) and his incredible story of overcoming a childhood injury to master the piano. A Star-Studded Cast of British Icons. The acting pedigree in this film is surprisingly high, featuring some of the most recognizable faces in British television and film: Robert Stephens: The star of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. We discuss his marriage to Maggie Smith and his iconic work in The Box of Delights.Robert Powell: From Jesus of Nazareth to fighting rats in Doomwatch, Powell brings a certain intensity to the role of Giles. Jane Lapotaire: A Tony-winner and star of The Crown (as Princess Alice). We also take a detour into her role in One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis In 1927 Cinema was still in its relative infancy. Nearly eleven years earlier D.W. Griffith had established the "grammar of cinema" with his epic masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation. The subsequent decade would showcase spectacles (Ben-Hur, Intolerance), comedies (The Gold Rush, The General), and dramatic classics (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, The Last Laugh). Cinematic Science Fiction would be attempted as early as 1902 with Melie's A Voyage to the Moon, however it would take nearly a quarter of a century for Sci-Fi to reveal its technical brilliance and possibilities with 1927s Fritz Lang masterpiece Metropolis. While an incredibly innovative, beautiful, and groundbreaking film, Lang's narrative (from a treatment and screenplay by his wife and artistic partner, Thea von Harbou), continues - or is the beginning - of the lazy and apologetic "White Savior" cinematic trope that has continued from Lawrence of Arabia thru Dances with Wolves, and most recently, Avatar and Dune. This week Mr. Chavez & I go back to the argument that we have made before and will continue to make regarding this insulting and problemtic cinematic trope. Each generation seems to want to tell its own version of this story without recognizing the inherent hypocrisy of a society and culture victimized by the elite while simultaneously needing to be saved by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed messiah (in this case a billionaire suddenly aware of his "mediator destiny" and responsibility to his "brothers"). Yes, we recognize the technical and production brilliance of this film, while at the same time being unable to ignore (or excuse) the obvious and insulting simplicity of its narrative. It is possible to simultaneoulsy admire and take issue with a work of art. Take a listen and ask yourself if you agree. Let us know what you think.

Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau, & Jon Maturan react to Ratatouille (2007), Pixar's beloved culinary fairy tale directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol). Set against the romantic backdrop of Paris, the film celebrates creativity, passion, and the idea that greatness can come from anywhere—even a kitchen rat with a dream. Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) voices Remy, a food-obsessed rat with an extraordinary sense of taste and smell who longs to become a chef. His unlikely partnership with garbage boy Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano – Cars, Monsters, Inc.) leads to some of the film's most iconic moments, including the ingenious hair-pulling cooking sequences and the frantic kitchen chaos as Remy secretly runs the restaurant from above. The cast is rounded out by Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings, Alien) as culinary idol Chef Gusteau, Janeane Garofalo (The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Wet Hot American Summer) as the tough but talented Colette Tatou, and Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, Troy) as the feared critic Anton Ego.

Lecturas textuales de La Santa Palabra de Dios, Elohim Adonai1 Digo, pues: Mientras el heredero es menor de edad, en nada es diferente del siervo, aunque sea el dueño de todo, 2 sino que está bajo guardianes y tutores hasta la edad señalada por el padre. 3 Así también nosotros, mientras éramos niños, estábamos sujetos a servidumbre bajo las cosas elementales del mundo. 4 Pero cuando vino la plenitud del tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, nacido de mujer, nacido bajo la ley, 5 a fin de que redimiera a los que estaban bajo la ley, para que recibiéramos la adopción de hijos. 6 Y porque sois hijos, Dios ha enviado el Espíritu de su Hijo a nuestros corazones, clamando: ¡Abba! ¡Padre! 7 Por tanto, ya no eres siervo, sino hijo; y si hijo, también heredero por medio de Dios.8 Pero en aquel tiempo, cuando no conocíais a Dios, erais siervos de aquellos que por naturaleza no son dioses. 9 Pero ahora que conocéis a Dios, o más bien, que sois conocidos por Dios, ¿cómo es que os volvéis otra vez a las cosas débiles, inútiles y elementales, a las cuales deseáis volver a estar esclavizados de nuevo? 10 Observáis los días, los meses, las estaciones y los años. 11 Temo por vosotros, que quizá en vano he trabajado por vosotros.12 Os ruego, hermanos, haceos como yo, pues yo también me he hecho como vosotros. Ningún agravio me habéis hecho; 13 pero sabéis que fue por causa de una enfermedad física que os anuncié el evangelio la primera vez; 14 y lo que para vosotros fue una prueba en mi condición física, que no despreciasteis ni rechazasteis, sino que me recibisteis como un ángel de Dios, como a Cristo Jesús mismo. 15 ¿Dónde está, pues, aquel sentido de bendición que tuvisteis? Pues testigo soy en favor vuestro de que de ser posible, os hubierais sacado los ojos y me los hubierais dado. 16 ¿Me he vuelto, por tanto, vuestro enemigo al deciros la verdad?17 Ellos os tienen celo, no con buena intención, sino que quieren excluiros a fin de que mostréis celo por ellos. 18 Es bueno mostrar celo con buena intención siempre, y no solo cuando yo estoy presente con vosotros. 19 Hijos míos, por quienes de nuevo sufro dolores de parto hasta que Cristo sea formado en vosotros, 20 quisiera estar presente con vosotros ahora y cambiar mi tono, pues perplejo estoy en cuanto a vosotros.21 Decidme, los que deseáis estar bajo la ley, ¿no oís a la ley? 22 Porque está escrito que Abraham tuvo dos hijos, uno de la sierva y otro de la libre. 23 Pero el hijo de la sierva nació según la carne, y el hijo de la libre por medio de la promesa. 24 Esto contiene una alegoría, pues estas mujeres son dos pactos; uno procede del monte Sinaí que engendra hijos para ser esclavos; este es Agar. 25 Ahora bien, Agar es el monte Sinaí en Arabia, y corresponde a la Jerusalén actual, porque ella está en esclavitud con sus hijos. 26 Pero la Jerusalén de arriba es libre; esta es nuestra madre. 27 Porque escrito está:Regocíjate, oh estéril, la que no concibes;prorrumpe y clama, tú que no tienes dolores de parto,porque más son los hijos de la desolada,que de la que tiene marido.28 Y vosotros, hermanos, como Isaac, sois hijos de la promesa. 29 Pero así como entonces el que nació según la carne persiguió al que nació según el Espíritu, así también sucede ahora. 30 Pero, ¿qué dice la Escritura?Echa fuera a la sierva y a su hijo,pues el hijo de la sierva no será heredero con el hijo de la libre.31 Así que, hermanos, no somos hijos de la sierva, sino de la libre.------1986, 1995, 1997 by The Lockman FoundationMás información sobre La Biblia de las Américas

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp by Judith Dean原文Chapter 6: There and Back AgainIn the evening, Aladdin and his friends finished hunting and began to go home.Suddenly a friend said, “Aladdin, look, the Sultan's men are coming with swords in theirhands. What do they want?”“I don't know.”, Aladdin answered.When the Sultan's men arrived, they said, “Aladdin, we must take you to the Sultan, he'svery angry.”“Why?”,asked Aladdin.But the men could not tell him.In his palace, the Sultan took Aladdin to a window.“Where is your palace?”, he cried angrily, “And where is my daughter? Answer me?”Aladdin looked out of the window, there was only the ground and the sky, no palace, no gardens, nothing.He closed his eyes, opened them and looked again, and he had no answer for the Sultan.“It's black magic, I always said that.”, the vizier said quietly in the sultan's ear.“Your Majesty”, Aladdin put his head at the sultan's feet, “Kill me now, I do not want to live without Bador Al Bodour.”There were tears in his eyes.“Find her in forty days or you die.”, the sultan said.“I hear and obey Your Majesty.”, Aladdin answered.But without his magic lamp, what could Aladdin do?He went out from the city, and looked and looked for his wife and his palace, but of course he did not find them.After 37 days, he sat by a river and cried.“Oh,Bador Al Bodour, my love, where are you, where can I look now?”He put his hands into the water of the river, and then he saw the magician's ring on his little finger.He began to rub it.Out the blue smoke came the genie of the ring.“What is your wish? Master.”, he asked.“Find my wife and bring her back to me.”, answered Aladdin, “please.”“Master,I cannot do that. The genie of the lamp took the princess away, and only the genie of the lamp can bring her back. But I can take you to her.”“Take me then, quickly.”“To hear is to obey.”It is many, many miles from Arabia to Morocco.But Aladdin was there in a second, and there was his palace in front of him.He went into the gardens and looked up at the windows.“Bador Al Bodour!”, he cried, “Are you there?”In the palace, Bador Al Bodour heard him.“Is that Aladdin?”, She thought, “But he is far away in Arabia.”She went to the window, opened it and looked out Aladdin.She cried, “Oh my love!”For the first time in many days, Aladdin smiled.“Come up quickly!”, the princess called, “The magician is not here now.”Her slave girl ran down and opened a little door into the gardens.Aladdin ran up to the princess's rooms and in a second she was in his arms.“Oh,my love!”, the princess said, “a bad man carried me here, a magician, his name is…”“His name is Abenaza and I am going to kill him.”, said Aladdin, “Tell me, does he have my old lamp?”“Yes.”,Bador Al Bodour said, “he always carries it with him. I know about its magic now, because he told me. Oh! why did I give it away?”“Listen,my love.”, said Aladdin, “I'm going to give you some sleeping powder when he comes here again, you must give him a drink and put the powder in it. When he is asleep, I can kill him, don't be afraid. I'm going to take you home very soon.”Now for some good magic, he began to rub his ring.Whoosh…“What is your wish? Master”, said the genie of the ring.“Bring me some sleeping powder.”, said Aladdin.“To hear is to obey.”Ina second, the genie was back with some sleeping powder.Then Aladdin and the princess waited for Abenaza.In the evening, they heard him on the stairs.“Don't be afraid.”, Aladdin said quietly to his wife, “I am in the next room and can be with you in a second.”He went quickly into the next room and stood behind the door.Abenaza opened the door of Bador Al Bodour's room and came in.He smiled. “You are more beautiful every day, Bador Al Bodour.”, he said, “Your husband that good for nothing, Aladdin is dead. Now, you must marry me. You can have gold, jewels, palaces, anything, but you must be my wife.”For the first time, the princess smiled at Abenaza.“Why not?”, she said, “You are a rich man and I am happy here. Yes, let's drink to that.”And she gave him a tall gold cup with the drink and the powder in it.“Let us drink from one cup, Abenaza.”, she said and smiled at him, “You first, then me. In my country, new husbands and wives always do this.”“To Bador Al Bodour, the most beautiful woman in Morocco.”, Abenaza said happily, “And my wife.”He looked into Bador Al Bodour's eyes and began to drink.Very afraid, the princess watched him, but it was a good sleeping powder and after five seconds Abenaza's eyes closed and he was asleep.The princess ran to the door of the next room.“Quick Aladdin.”, she called.Aladdin ran in with his sword and saw the sleeping magician.“Well done, my love.”, he said, “Now go into the next room and do not watch.”Bador Al Bodour ran to the next room and closed the door.Aladdin put his hand in Abenaza's pocket and took out the lamp.He put it carefully into the pocket of his coat and then stood up.The sword did its work quickly and Abenaza never opened his eyes again.The princess came back into the room and ran to Aladdin.He took her in his arms.“The magician is dead.”, he said, “And now we can go home.”He began to rub the lamp.Whoosh…Fire and red smoke came from the lamp.The princess watched, afraid.“I am here, Master.”, said the genie of the lamp, “What is your wish?”“Carry this palace, Bador Al Bodour and me back to our city in Arabia, but leave that dog Abenaza here.”“To hear is to obey.”, said the genie.When the Sultan looked out of his window and saw Aladdin's palace again, he was a happy man.And when he took his daughter in his arms, he was the happiest man in Arabia.From that day, Aladdin and Bador Al Bodour lived happily in their palace.They lived for many years and had many children, but Aladdin always carried the magic lamp with him day and night.翻译第6章：又回来了傍晚，阿拉丁和他的朋友们狩猎完毕，开始回家。 突然，一位朋友说：“阿拉丁，看，苏丹的人手里拿着剑来了。他们想要什么？”“我不知道。”阿拉丁回答。 当苏丹的人到达时，他们说：“阿拉丁，我们必须带你去见苏丹，他很生气。”“为什么？”阿拉丁问。 但男人们不能告诉他。 在他的宫殿里，苏丹把阿拉丁带到窗前。 “你的宫殿在哪里？”他愤怒地喊道，“我女儿在哪里？回答我？”阿拉丁望向窗外，只有地面和天空，没有宫殿，没有花园，什么都没有。 他闭上眼睛，睁开眼睛，又看了一眼，对苏丹没有回答。 “这是黑魔法，我总是这么说。”维齐尔在苏丹耳边轻声说。 “陛下”，阿拉丁把头靠在苏丹的脚下，“现在杀了我吧，我不想没有巴多尔·阿尔-博杜尔而活着。”他眼里含着泪水。 “四十天内找到她，否则你就死定了。”苏丹说。 “我听到并服从陛下。”阿拉丁回答。 但是没有他的神灯，阿拉丁能做什么呢？ 他出城，四处寻找他的妻子和宫殿，但当然没有找到。 37天后，他坐在河边哭泣。 “哦，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔，亲爱的，你在哪里，我现在可以去哪里看？”他把手伸进河里，然后看见魔法师的戒指戴在他的小手指上。 他开始揉搓它。戒指的精灵从蓝色的烟雾中冒了出来。“你的愿望是什么？主人。”他问。 “找到我的妻子，把她带回来。”阿拉丁回答，“请一定。”“主人，我不能这么做。灯的精灵把公主带走了，只有灯的精灵才能把她带回来。但我可以带你去见她。”“那就带我去，快点。”“听到就是服从。”从阿拉伯到摩洛哥有很多英里。 但阿拉丁一秒钟就到了，他的宫殿就在他面前。 他走进花园，抬头看着窗户。 “巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔！”他喊道，“你在吗？”在宫殿里，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔听到了他的声音。 “那是阿拉丁吗？”她想，“但他在阿拉伯很远的地方。”她走到窗前，打开窗户，望向阿拉丁。 她哭着说：“哦，我的爱！”阿拉丁几天来第一次笑了。 “快上来！”公主喊道，“魔法师现在不在这里。”她的婢女跑下来，打开了一扇通往花园的小门。 阿拉丁跑到公主的房间，不一会儿她就在他的怀里。 “哦，我的爱！”公主说，“一个坏人把我抱到这里，一个魔术师，他的名字叫……”“他的名字叫阿贝纳扎，我要杀了他。”阿拉丁说，“告诉我，他有我的旧灯吗？”“是的。”巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔说，“他总是随身携带它。我现在知道它的魔力了，因为他告诉了我。哦！我为什么要把它送人？”“听着，亲爱的。”阿拉丁说，“他再来的时候，我要给你一些安眠药，你必须给他喝一杯，把安眠药放进去。等他睡着了，我可以杀了他，别害怕。我很快就带你回家。”现在，为了一些好的魔法，他开始揉搓戒指。嗖……“你的愿望是什么？主人。”戒指的精灵说。“给我拿些安眠药来。”阿拉丁说。 “听到就是服从。”过了一会儿，精灵拿着安眠药回来了。 然后阿拉丁和公主等着阿贝纳扎。 晚上，他们听见他在楼梯上。 “别害怕。”阿拉丁平静地对妻子说，“我在隔壁房间，马上就可以和你在一起。”他迅速走进隔壁房间，站在门后。阿贝纳扎打开巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔房间的门走了进来。他笑了。“你一天比一天漂亮，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔。”他说，“你的丈夫一无是处，阿拉丁已经死了。现在，你必须嫁给我。你可以拥有黄金、珠宝、宫殿，任何东西，但你必须是我的妻子。”公主第一次对阿贝纳扎微笑。 “为什么不呢？”她说，“你是个有钱人，我在这里很开心。是的，让我们为此干杯。”她给了他一个高高的金杯，里面装着饮料和粉末。“让我们喝一杯吧，阿贝纳扎。”她对他微笑着说，“你先喝，然后是我。在我的国家，新婚夫妇总是这样做。”“致摩洛哥最美丽的女人巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔。”阿贝纳扎高兴地说，“还有我的妻子。”他看着巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔的眼睛，开始喝酒。公主非常害怕，看着他，但这是一种很好的安眠药，五秒钟后，阿贝纳扎闭上眼睛，睡着了。 公主跑到隔壁房间的门口。 “快阿拉丁。”她喊道。 阿拉丁拿着剑跑了进来，看见了睡着的魔法师。 “干得好，亲爱的。”他说，“现在到隔壁房间去，别看。”巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔跑到隔壁房间，关上了门。 阿拉丁把手伸进阿贝纳扎的口袋，拿出了灯。 他小心地把它放进上衣口袋里，然后站了起来。 剑很快就完成了它的工作，阿贝纳扎再也没有睁开眼睛。 公主回到房间，跑向阿拉丁。 他把她抱在怀里。 “魔术师死了。”他说，“现在我们可以回家了。”他开始擦灯。嗖……火和红烟从灯里冒出来。 公主害怕地看着。 “我在这里，主人。”灯的精灵说，“你的愿望是什么？”“巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔和我把这座宫殿带回我们在阿拉伯的城市，但把那只狗阿贝纳扎留在这里。”“听到就是服从。”精灵说。 当苏丹望向窗外，再次看到阿拉丁的宫殿时，他是一个快乐的人。、当他把女儿抱在怀里时，他是阿拉伯最幸福的人。从那天起，阿拉丁和巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔在他们的宫殿里幸福地生活着。 他们生活了很多年，有很多孩子，但阿拉丁总是日夜带着神灯。

He was born early in the seventh century in the East. His birthplace is unclear: the Great Horologion says that he was born in eastern Arabia (present-day Qatar); the Synaxarion that he was born in Kurdistan. While still young he entered the Lavra of St Matthew with his brother, but after a few years of monastic life, having advanced far in obedience and the practice of prayer, he withdrew into the desert. His reputation for holiness reached the city of Nineveh, where the people prevailed on the hierarchy to consecrate him as their bishop in 670. Reluctantly but obediently, St Isaac took up the duties of shepherd of his flock in Nineveh. After a few months, he was called on to settle a dispute between two of the faithful, but they rejected his counsel and said 'Leave your Gospel out of this matter!' The holy bishop said, 'If they are not prepared to obey Our Lord's commandments, what need have they of me?', and retired to live as a hermit in the mountains of Kurdistan. Later, he settled in the monastery of Raban Shapur, where he wrote his Ascetical Homilies and other jewel-like works on the spiritual life. There he reposed in peace.   The fame of St Isaac' Homilies spread, and about one hundred years after their writing they were translated from Syriac into Greek by two monks in Palestine. In this form they spread throughout the monastic world, becoming a treasured guide to those who seek the fullness of the life of prayer. The Synaxarion says, "The book of Saint Isaac is, with the Ladder of Saint John Climacus, the indispensible guide for every Orthdox soul to journey safely toward God. Hence, not many years ago, a holy spiritual father, Jerome of Egina (d. 1966), recommended begging, if necessary, in order to be able to purchase a copy." We are blessed to have a good translation of the Ascetical Homilies available in English.   Saint Isaac is a very unusual case of an Orthodox Saint who lived outside the canonical boundaries of the Church: he was a bishop of the "Nestorian" communion, now sometimes called the "Oriental Orthodox." The purity of his own Orthodox faith is so clearly evident in his writings that the Church has nonetheless recognized his sanctity.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp by Judith Dean原文Chapter 5: New lamps for oldWhere was Abenaza this time?When he could not get the lamp from Aladdin, he went home to Morocco.He was very angry with Aladdin.“But the boy is dead now.”, he thought, “And perhaps next year I can go back and get the lamp.”One day, he got out his seven black stones.Theses tones were magic, and when he put them in water, the water could tell him many things.Soon he could see the magic lamp in the water, but in it was not under the white stone in the Arabian Hills, it was in a palace.“How did this happen?”, said Abenaza, “I must go back to Arabia and find this palace.”After some months, he arrived again in the city in Arabia.Soon he saw the new palace and asked a man in the street who lives there.That's Aladdin's palace was the answer, Princess Bador Al Bodour's husband，a good man and very rich.Abenaza said nothing and walked away.“That lazy, good for nothing boy.”, he thought angrily, “So he has the magic lamp andhe knows about the genie. How can I get the lamp back?”For the next week, Abenaza watched Aladdin's palace.One day, Aladdin and his friends left the palace to go hunting in the hills.“Good!”,Abenaza thought, “now I can get the lamp.”After Aladdin left, Princess Bador Al Bodour went into the palace gardens, she sat under a tree and looked at the flowers.Then she heard a noise in the street and called her slave girl Fozia.“What's the matter？ who's making that noise?”, She asked Fozia go and look in thestreet.When Fozia came back, she had a smile on her face.“Mistress.”,she said, “The children in the street are laughing at an old man. He's selling lamps, but not for money. ‘New lamps for old,' he cries, ‘Give me an old lamp and you can have a new lamp.' So everybody's getting new lamps.”Bador Al Bodour laughed.“Do we have an old lamp for him?”“Yes,my husband's old lamp, go and get it.”The princess knew nothing about the lamp or its magic.Fozia went into the palace and came back with Aladdin's lamp.“Here it is, mistress.”, she said.“Go and give it to the old man.”, The princess laughed, “Aladdin can have a nice new lamp.”Fozia went out into the street with the lamp.“New lamps for old.”, the old man called.And the children behind him laughed and called “new lamps for old, hahahha…”The old man, it was Abenaza of course, saw the lamp in Fozia's hands and knew it at once, because of the picture in the water of his magic stones.He took the old lamp, gave a new lamp to Fozia, and then quickly walked away.He walked out of the city into the hills.Then he took out the lamp and rubbed it.Whoosh…At once, the genie of the lamp came to him.“I am here, master.”, he said, “What is your wish?”“Carry Aladdin's palace, the princess, and me back to Morocco at once.”, Abenaza said,“The Sultan can kill Aladdin for me.”“To hear is to obey.”In a second, Abenaza, the palace, the gardens and the princess were in Morocco.And in front of the Sultan's palace, there was now only a little red smoke.翻译第五章：旧灯换新灯这时阿贝纳扎在哪里？ 当他无法从阿拉丁那里得到神灯时，他回到了摩洛哥的家。 他对阿拉丁非常生气。“但这个男孩现在已经死了。”他想，“也许明年我可以回去拿那盏灯。”有一天，他拿出了他的七块黑石头。 这些石头很神奇，当他把它们放进水里时，水可以告诉他很多事情。 很快，他就能看到水中的神灯，但它不是在阿拉伯山的白色石头下面，而是在一座宫殿里。 “这是怎么发生的？”阿贝纳扎说，“我必须回阿拉伯去找到这座宫殿。”几个月后，他再次抵达阿拉伯的城市。不久，他看到了新宫殿，便问街上一个住在那里的人。 答案就是阿拉丁的宫殿，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主的丈夫，一个好人，非常富有。 阿贝纳扎什么也没说，走开了。 “那个懒惰、一无是处的男孩。”他愤怒地想，“这么说，他有神灯，他知道精灵的事。我怎样才能把灯要回来？”接下来的一周，阿贝纳扎观看了阿拉丁的宫殿。 一天，阿拉丁和他的朋友们离开宫殿去山上打猎。 “太好了！”阿贝纳扎想，“现在我可以拿到灯了。”阿拉丁离开后，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主走进宫殿花园，她坐在一棵树下看着花。 然后，她听到街上有动静，便叫她的婢女福齐亚。 “怎么了？谁在吵闹？”她问福齐亚去街上看看。 福齐亚回来时，脸上露出了笑容。 “女主人。”她说，“街上的孩子们在嘲笑一个老人。他在卖灯，但不是为了钱。‘老换新，'他喊道，‘给我一盏旧灯，你就可以有一盏新灯了。'所以每个人都在买新灯。”巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔笑了。 “我们有一盏旧灯给他吗？”“是的，我丈夫的旧灯，去拿吧。”公主对这盏灯及其魔力一无所知。福齐亚走进宫殿，拿着阿拉丁的神灯回来了。 “给你，女主人。”她说。 “去把它给老人。”公主笑道，“阿拉丁可以有一盏漂亮的新台灯。”福齐亚拿着灯走到街上。“新灯换旧灯。”老人喊道。 他身后的孩子们笑着喊道：“新灯换旧灯，哈哈哈……”老人，当然是阿贝纳扎，看到福齐亚手中的灯，立刻就知道了，因为水中有他魔法石的图画。 他拿起那盏旧灯，给了福齐亚一盏新灯，然后迅速走开了。 他走出城市，走进山里。 然后他拿出灯，擦了擦。嗖……灯的精灵立刻向他走来。 “我在这里，主人。”他说，“你的愿望是什么？”“立刻把阿拉丁的宫殿、公主和我带回摩洛哥。”，阿贝纳扎说，“苏丹可以帮我杀了阿拉丁。”“听到就是服从。”下一秒，阿贝纳扎、宫殿、花园和公主都在摩洛哥。 在苏丹的宫殿前，现在只有一点红烟。

Galatians 1:11-13, 15-24 - For I would have you know, brothers, that the Gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. … But when He who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, in order that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was still unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they glorified God because of me.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin P. Zander. In this episode, I'm doing something a little different: I step into the guest seat for a conversation with one of my good friends, Andrew Bartlow, recorded for the People Leader Accelerator podcast alongside Jessica Yuen. We dive into storytelling, identity, and leadership — exploring how personal experiences shape professional influence. The conversation begins with a reflection on family and culture, from the Moroccan textiles behind me, made by my mother, to the influence of my father's environmental consulting work. These threads of personal history frame my lifelong fascination with storytelling, persuasion, and coalition-building. Andrew and Jessica guide the discussion through how storytelling intersects with professional growth. We cover how early experiences — like watching Lawrence of Arabia at a birthday sleepover — sparked curiosity about adventure, influence, and human connection, and how these interests evolved into a career focused on organizational storytelling and leadership. We explore practical frameworks, including my four-part story model (Setup → Change → Turning → Resolution) and the power of "twists" to create momentum and memorability. The episode also touches on authentic messaging, the role of vulnerability in leadership, and why practicing storytelling in everyday life—outside high-stakes moments—builds confidence and executive presence over time. Listeners will hear lessons from a lifetime of diverse experiences: running a café in the Mission District, collaborating with BJ Fogg on behavioral change, building Zander Media, and applying storytelling to align teams and organizations. We also discuss how authenticity and personal perspective remain a competitive advantage in an age of AI-generated content. If you're curious about how storytelling, practice, and presence intersect with leadership, persuasion, and influence, this episode is for you. And for more insights on human connection, organizational alignment, and the future of work, check out Snafu, my weekly newsletter on sales, persuasion, and storytelling here, and Responsive Conference, where we explore leadership, work, and organizational design here. Start (0:00) Storytelling & Identity Robin introduces Moroccan textiles behind him Made by his mother, longtime practicing artist Connects to Moroccan fiancée → double meaning of personal and cultural Reflection on family influence Father: environmental consulting firm Mother: artist Robin sees himself between their careers Early Fascination with Storytelling Childhood obsession with Morocco and Lawrence of Arabia Watched 4-hour movie at age 6–7 Fascinated by adventure, camels, storytelling, persuasion Early exposure shaped appreciation for coalition-building and influence Identity & Names Jess shares preference for "Jess" → casual familiarity Robin shares professional identity as "Xander" Highlights fluidity between personal and professional selves Childhood Experiences & Social Context Watching Lawrence of Arabia at birthday sleepover Friends uninterested → early social friction Andrew parallels with daughters and screen preferences Childhood experiences influence perception and engagement Professional Background & Storytelling Application Robin's long involvement with PeopleTech and People Leader Accelerator Created PLA website, branding, documented events Mixed pursuits: dance, media, café entrepreneurship Demonstrates applying skills across domains Collaboration with BJ Fogg → behavioral change expertise Storytelling as Connection and Alignment Robin: Storytelling pulls from personal domains and makes it relevant to others Purpose: foster connection → move together in same direction Executive relevance: coalition building, generating momentum, making the case for alignment Andrew: HR focus on connection, relationships, alignment, clarity Helps organizations move faster, "grease the wheels" for collaboration Robin's Credibility and Experience in Storytelling Key principle: practice storytelling more than listening Full-time entrepreneur for 15 years First business at age 5: selling pumpkins Organized neighborhood kids in scarecrow costumes to help sell Earned $500 → early lessons in coalition building and persuasion Gymnastics and acrobatics: love of movement → performance, discipline Café entrepreneurship: Robin's Cafe in Mission District, SF Started with 3 weeks' notice to feed conference attendees Housed within a dance studio → intersection of dance and behavioral change First experience managing full-time employees Learned the importance of storytelling for community building and growth Realized post-sale missed opportunity: storytelling could have amplified success Transition to Professional Storytelling (Zander Media) Lessons from cafe → focus on storytelling, messaging, content creation Founded Zander Media (2018) Distributed small team, specializes in narrative strategy and video production Works with venture-backed companies and HR teams to tell stories internally and externally Provides reps and depth in organizational storytelling Why Storytelling Matters for Organizations Connects people, fosters alignment Enables faster movement toward shared goals Storytelling as a "powerful form of connection" What Makes a Good Story Robin: frameworks exist, but ultimately humans want: Education, entertainment, attention Sustained attention (avoid drift to TikTok, distractions) Framework examples: Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell) → 17 steps Dan Harmon's 8-part structure → simplified version of Hero's Journey Robin's preferred model: 4-part story structure (details/examples forthcoming) The Power of the Twist, and Organizational Storytelling Robin's Four-Part Story Model Core idea: stories work best when they follow a simple arc Setup → Change → Turning (twist/reveal) → Resolution Goal: not rigid frameworks, but momentum, surprise, payoff The "Turning" (Twist) as the Sticky Moment Pixar example via Steve Jobs and the iPod Nano Setup: Apple's dominance, market context, long build-up Choice point: Option A: just reveal the product Option B (chosen): pause + curiosity Turning: the "tiny jeans pocket" question Reveal: iPod Nano pulled from the pocket Effect: entertainment, disruption, memorability Key insight: The twist creates pause, delight, and attention This moment often determines whether a story is remembered Why Flat Stories Fail Example (uninspiring): "I ran a cafe → wanted more marketing → now I run Xander Media" Improved arc with turning: Ran a cafe → wanted to do more marketing → sold it on Craigslist → built Xander Media Lesson: A reveal or risk creates narrative energy The Four Parts in Practice Setup The world as it is (Bilbo in the Shire) Change Something disrupts the norm (Gandalf arrives) Turning Twist, reveal, or surprise (the One Ring) Resolution Payoff and return (Bilbo back to the Shire) How to Use This as a Leader Don't force stories into frameworks Look at stories you already tell Identify where a disruption, surprise, or reveal could live Coalition-building lens Stories should move people into shared momentum Excitement → flow → aligned action Storytelling Mediums for HR & Organizations Employer brand ≠ separate from company brand Should be co-owned by HR and marketing Brand clarity attracts the right people, repels the wrong ones Strong brands are defined by: Who they are Who they are not Who they're for and not for HR vs Marketing: The Nuance Collaboration works only if: HR leads on audience and truth Marketing supports execution, not control Risk: Marketing optimizes for customers, not employees HR understands attraction, retention, culture fit Storytelling at the Individual Level No one is "naturally" good or bad at storytelling It's reps, not talent Practical advice: Know your ~15 core stories (career, company, turning points) Practice pauses like a comedian Notice when people lean in Opinionated Messaging = Effective Messaging Internal storytelling should: Be clear and opinionated Repel as much as it attracts Avoid: Corporate vanilla Saying a lot without saying anything Truth + Aspirational Truth Marketing and storytelling are a mix of: What is actually true What the organization is becoming Being "30% more honest" builds trust Including flaws and tradeoffs Example: budget brands, Southwest, Apple's office-first culture Why This Works Opinions create personality Personality creates stickiness Stickiness creates memory, alignment, and momentum Authenticity as the last real advantage We're flooded with AI-generated content (video, writing, everything) Humans are extremely good at sensing what feels fake Inauthenticity is easier to spot than ever One of the few remaining advantages: Be true to the real story of the person or organization Not polished truth — actual truth What makes content feel "AI-ish" AI can generate volume fast Books, posts, stories in minutes What it can't replicate: Personal specificity Why a story matters to you What an experience felt like from the inside Lived moments Running a café Growing into leadership What lasts: Personal story lesson learned relevance to this reader relevance to this relationship What content will win long-term Vulnerability Not oversharing, but real experience Personal perspective Why this matters to me Relevance Why it should matter to you Outcome Entertainment Insight Shared direction The risk of vulnerability (it can backfire) Being personal doesn't guarantee buy-in Example: inspirational talk → employee openly disagrees Emotional deflation Self-doubt Early leadership lesson: You can do your best People will still push back Leadership at higher levels gets harder, not easier Bigger teams → higher stakes Better pay Benefits Real expectations First "real" leadership pain points: Bad hires Mismatched expectations Disgruntled exits Realization: Conflict isn't failure It's a sign you've leveled up "Mountains beyond mountains" Every new level comes with new challenges Entrepreneurship Executive leadership Organizational scale Reframe setbacks: Not proof you're failing Proof you're progressing Authenticity at the executive table Especially hard for HR leaders Often younger Often earlier in career Often underrepresented Anxiety is normal The table doesn't feel welcoming Strategy: Name it "This is new for me" "I'm still finding my voice" Own it Ask for feedback Speak anyway Authenticity ≠ no consequences Being honest can carry risk Not every organization wants change Hard truth: You can't change people who don't want to change Sometimes the right move is leaving Guiding advice: Find people who already want what you offer Help them move faster Vulnerability as a competitive advantage Almost any perceived weakness can be reframed New Nervous Different When named clearly: It builds trust It creates permission It signals confidence Getting better at storytelling (practical) It's not talent — it's reps Shyness → confidence through practice Start small Don't test stories when stakes are highest Practice specifics Your core stories Your pitch Energy matters Enthusiasm is underrated Tempo matters Pauses Slowing down Letting moments land Executive presence is built Incrementally Intentionally Practice, Progress, and Learning That Actually Sticks Measure growth against yourself, not "the best" The real comparison isn't to others It's who you were yesterday MrBeast idea: If you're not a little uncomfortable looking at your past work You're probably not improving fast enough Important distinction: Discomfort ≠ shame Shame isn't a useful motivator Progress shows up in hindsight Looking back at past work "I'd write that differently now" Not embarrassment — evidence of growth Example: Weekly newsletter Over time, clearer thinking Better writing Stronger perspective Executive presence is a practice, not a trait Storytelling Selling Persuasion Presence Core question: Are you deliberately practicing? Or just repeating the same behaviors? Practice doesn't have to happen at work Low-stakes environments count Family Friends Everyday conversations Example: Practicing a new language with a dog Safe Repetitive No pressure Life skills = leadership skills One of the hardest lessons: Stop trying to get people to do what they don't want to do Daily practice ground: Family dynamics Respecting boundaries Accepting reality These skills transfer directly to work Influence Communication Leadership Why practice outside of high-stakes moments When pressure is high You default to habits Practicing in everyday life: Builds muscle memory Makes high-stakes moments feel familiar How to learn (without overengineering it) Follow curiosity Pick a thread A name A book An idea Pull on it See where it leads Let it branch Learning isn't linear It's exploratory Learning through unexpected sources Example: Reading a biography Leads to understanding an era Context creates insight The subject matters less than: Genuine interest Sustained attention Career acceleration (simple, not flashy) Always keep learning Find what pulls you in Go deeper Press the gas Where to find Robin Ongoing work lives in: Snafu (weekly newsletter on sales, persuasion, and storytelling) https://joinsnafu.com  Responsive Conference (future of work, leadership, and org design) https://responsiveconference.com   

Today I sit down with author and historian James McDougall and talk about his most recent book: Worlds of Islam: A Global History. From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to new nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself.In Worlds of Islam, historian James McDougall explores Islam's origins and transformations as Muslims adapted to changing times and conditions, from Late Antiquity to the digital age. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice.Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.Buy The Book HERE.Support Western Civ

The unifying youth culture across the Arab region is characterized by a proud new Arab identity and the changing standards of beauty with the rise of "Arab beauty" (A beauty), which celebrates Arab features and aesthetics. The founder of Mille World and Mille Creative, Sofia Guellaty, talks about her journey launching the first Arab youth platform in the Arab world, the role of media professionals as "editors of conversations," and the emergence of a new, proud Arab identity among both Gen Z and millennials. She discusses how she uses fashion and pop culture as a tool for "soft power" to talk about liberation, representation, and diversity, moving away from superficial content. She reflects on her early career, her shift from being fascinated by the West to "unbashedly proud to be Arab," and the challenges faced by Arab talent, including visa issues and the lack of an Arab-centric market. The conversation also delves into how her platform, Mille World, aims to address the lack of authentic Arab youth representation by giving a voice to young creatives who want to define their own stories, not be perceived through a "western gaze". Explore Mille World

Saturday, 17 January 2026   And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala. Matthew 15:39   Note: You can listen to today's commentary courtesy of our friends at the “Bible in Ten” podcast. (Click Here to listen)   You can also read this commentary, scrolling with music, courtesy of our friends at “Discern the Bible” on YouTube. (Click Here to listen), or at Rumble (Click Here to listen).   “And having dismissed the crowds, He in-stepped into the boat, and He came to the borders of Magdala” (CG).   In the previous verse, it was noted that there were four thousand men, besides women and children, who comprised the multitudes Jesus fed. With that portion of the narrative complete, and to close out the chapter, Matthew next notes, “And having dismissed the crowds, He in-stepped into the boat.”   They have been on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee. With this cycle of attending to a Gentile woman in the allotments of Tyre and Sidon noted, followed by a time in the Gentile-led eastern regions near the Decapolis completed, He got into a boat, “and He came to the borders of Magdala.”   This is a location not named this way anywhere else in Scripture. Some manuscripts note the location as Magadan, meaning Megiddo, but that is incorrect based on Matthew 16:5, which notes they are still in the region of the lake. Rather, the town Magdala in Hebrew is Migdal-el, Tower of God, a city of Naphtali recorded in Joshua 19:38.   This is also known as Al-Majdal (Mejdel) on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, north of Tiberias. Mark 8:10 notes that when they got in the boat, they came to the allotments of Dalmanutha. Saying it this way, there is no contradiction to be found. Just as Jesus went to the “allotments” of Tyre and Sidon, meaning the surrounding areas, in Matthew 15:21, so they went to Magdala in the allotments, meaning the surrounding areas, of Dalmanutha.   Life application: Chapter 15 of Matthew gives a picture of what is going on in the world from the time Jesus fulfilled the law until the rapture. The verses, though literally occurring at the time of Jesus, point to truths after the completion of Jesus' ministry. The New Covenant is now what God is doing in the world. Israel as a whole, however, rejected that.   Though they no longer observe the Law of Moses, they remain bound to it. During this dispensation, they are spiritually led by rabbis, both in their writings in the Talmud as well as in their cultural and religious life.   These are reflected by the scribes and Pharisees who came from Jerusalem (verse 1) to challenge Jesus. Paul explains in Galatians 4:21-31 that the earthly Jerusalem reflects them and their teaching. The main point for now says –   “But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:23-26   In verses 2-9, Jesus explains the state of Israel at this time, living by the laws of men rather than by the law of God. After the introduction of the New Covenant, the law of God is not the Law of Moses. Rather, that is fulfilled.   At this time, religious Israel draws near to the Lord with their lips, but their hearts, because of their rejection of Jesus, are far away from Him.   In verse 11, Jesus stated that what goes into the mouth does not defile. Rather, what comes out of it does. Though that was a truth concerning the traditions of these elders, it is a truth that is spiritually seen in Israel to this day. They refuse to proclaim Jesus.   This is their defilement. But what does Paul say concerning this? In Romans 10, he says –   “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:8-13   The only thing that can cleanse a person from sin is Jesus. Anything else, meaning any other proclamation, defiles that person. As such, Jesus says in verse 14 to let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind, and both will fall into a pit.   In verse 15, Jesus reexplained to dull Peter (later, the Apostle to the Jews) the matter of the heart and what it is that causes defilement. While Israel remains in their state of defilement because of their oral proclamations, something else takes place. This is seen in verse 21, where Jesus “went out from there,” meaning from the Jewish people to the allotments of Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile area.   Tyre (Hebrew: Tsor) signifies Rock. While Israel abandoned their Rock, the Gentiles received Him. That this is speaking of Christ is seen, for example, in Deuteronomy 32:32, where it says, “For their rock is not like our Rock.” There are those who are confident in their rock (tsur), and yet their rock is not the Lord who is the Rock (tsur).   Sidon (Hebrew: Tsidon) signifies Fishery. It is a place for catching fish. Everyone is like a fish. When Jesus said to Simon and Andrew that they would be fishers of men, He meant that men are like fish to be caught.   While in this area (verse 22), a Canaanite woman came to Jesus and begged for compassion for her demon-possessed daughter. Canaan signifies Humbled, Humiliated, or even Subdued. She pictures those of faith who have humbled themselves before the word of Christ.   The issue is the daughter. In Scripture, a son or a daughter is representative of the state of something. A “son of death,” for example, is a person deserving of death. That is his state. A daughter, in this case, is the state of a group of people, such as “daughter of Jerusalem,” “daughter of Tarshish,” etc. What is the state of the Daughter of the Humbled who are also Gentiles?   Jesus said in verse 24 that He had come “if not to the sheep, the ‘having been lost' – House Israel.” Despite there being a New Covenant, with whom was that covenant made? The answer is found in both Jeremiah and Hebrews –   “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.” Jeremiah 31:31   The early church did not understand that the word was to go to the Gentiles. That is a major subject found in Acts. It is representative of the disciples' comments found previously in verse 23 when they told Jesus to dismiss her.   It literally took an act of God to get them to see that the New Covenant included Gentiles, first with the Ethiopian eunuch and then the house of Cornelius. Jesus' calling, though, to redeem the House of Judah and Israel, is inclusive of the Gentiles of faith, as seen in this account. It is something prophesied in Isaiah 49:6, but which is revealed in typology here.   The woman was told that it wasn't “good to take the children's bread and cast to the puppies.” In the Bible, dogs represent Gentiles. That is seen in the Caleb series of sermons. Caleb, kalev, is from kelev, dog. It is also seen in the account of Gideon and his men, who lapped like dogs, a typological picture dealing with the Gentiles.   The woman didn't argue Jesus' point. Instead, she noted that “even the puppies – he eats from the crumbs, the ‘falling from their master's table.” Jesus thus remarked concerning her great faith, something evidenced in the Gentile world. At that time, it noted the child was cured. Salvation, in fact, is also directed to the Gentiles. They are brought into the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12).   From there, verse 29 said of Jesus that “He went near the Sea of the Galilee, and having ascended to the mountain, He sat there.” The Galilee has previously been explained as “the Liberty.” It is a picture of freedom from sin. As sin stems from a violation of law, it ultimately signifies freedom from law.   A mountain in the Bible represents a lot of something gathered. In typology, it is synonymous with a large but centralized group of people. Though it is only stated in Mark, the last area noted was the Decapolis, a Gentile controlled area.   Thus, this is typologically referring to a large but centralized group (meaning under Jesus) of Gentile people. The Canaanite woman already established that, but this is an extension of the thought, explaining the result of the dispensation of the Gentiles. In other words, “What will happen in the world once it is established that Gentiles are to be included in the New Covenant?”   In verses 30 and 31, multitudes came to Jesus for healing, so many that they were strewn about Him. It is reflective of the broken Gentile world coming to Christ for healing and salvation. As many came, He healed them so that “they glorified the God of Israel.”   As noted at that time, the term is unique in the New Testament. It suggested the presence of Gentiles on the mountain, but it typologically asserts this fact. Paul's ministry literally shouts out the parallel to this thought in Matthew –   “Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.” Acts 19:11, 12   Was the God of Israel glorified through this? The answer is found in Romans –   “Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: ‘For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name.'” Romans 15:8, 9   And...   “For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient— 19 in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.” Romans 15:18, 19   In verses 32-38, the feeding of the four thousand is recorded. Jesus said they had been with Him three days. In Scripture, three “stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire. ... Hence the number three points us to what is real, essential, perfect, substantial, complete, and Divine.” Bullinger   The time these people have been with Jesus speaks of a divine fullness, something reflected in Romans 11:25, “that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.” It goes right back to the state of Israel, noted in Matthew 15:14, where the blind are leading the blind.   While Israel is blinded, the blind of the Gentiles (Matthew 15:31) are brought to sight. The miracle of the bread (think of Jesus, the Bread of Life) and fish (a word which signifies “increase” in Hebrew) speaks of the immense harvest. There were seven loaves, the number of spiritual perfection, and a few tiddlers. However, they were enough to feed the multitude of four thousand. The number is a product of four and tens.   Four is the number of material creation, the world number. It speaks of the entirety of the world hearing the gospel, just as Jesus said it would. Ten is the number where nothing is wanting, and the whole cycle is complete. The entire world of the Gentiles will be evangelized before the end comes.   To demonstrate the immense harvest that will be realized in the church age, the baskets of fragments were collected, totaling seven large baskets. Notice the difference from the feeding of the five thousand –   “And they ate all, and they gorged, and they lifted the superabounding pieces – twelve handbaskets full. 21And those eating, they were about five thousand men, besides women and children.”   “And they ate all, and they gorged, and the superabounding of the fragments they lifted – seven hampers full. 38And those eating, they were four thousand men, besides women and children.”   Whereas a remnant of the twelve tribes of Israel represented by the twelve small handbaskets (Greek: kophinos) was collected, there will be an immense harvest of the seven churches (as defined in Revelation 2 & 3), represented by the seven large hampers (Greek: spuris).   The chapter ended with a location only mentioned here in Scripture, saying of Jesus, “And having dismissed the crowds, He in-stepped into the boat, and He came to the borders of Magdala.”   The town Magdala in Hebrew is Migdal-el, Tower of God, a city of Naphtali recorded in Joshua 19:38. Migdal El is contrasted to the tower of man, meaning Babel and all that accompanies her. Thus, this is implicitly a picture of the ending of the church age, where believers are delivered from the Babylon of the end times recorded in Revelation.   To understand why these conclusions have been made, one should refer to the descriptions of these locations found in the Old Testament sermons given by the Superior Word. Each location, number, or other reference has been drawn from the information already recorded there. Thus, the typology is not new. It has already been seen and has been reused without change, confirming that this analysis of Matthew 15 is sound.   Lord God, Your word is beyond amazing. It is a lifeline for the soul caught in despair. It is a treasure for the seeker of riches. It is a guide for the path of our lives. And Lord, it is so much more. It is so glorious to enter into its pages and find rest for our souls in the Person of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Thank You for this precious word. Amen. Matthew 15   15 Then they came to Jesus from Jerusalem, scribes and Pharisees, saying, 2“Through what – Your disciples, they sidestep the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they may eat bread.”   3And answering, He said, to them, “Through what – also you, you sidestep the ‘God's commandment' through your tradition? 4For God, He enjoined, saying, ‘You honor your father and your mother,' and the ‘disparaging father or mother,' death – he expires!' 5And you, you say, ‘Whoever, he should say to father or mother, “Gift – whatever if from me you should benefit.”' 6And no, not he should honor his father or his mother. And you invalidated God's commandment through your tradition. 7Hypocrites! Well, Isaiah, he prophesied concerning you, saying,   8‘He neared Me, this people – the mouth, And the lips – he honors Me, And their heart, it distances far from Me. 9And vainly they revere Me,  Teaching instructions – men's injunctions.'”   10And having summoned the crowd, He said to them, “You hear and comprehend! 11Not the ‘entering into the mouth' it profanes the man, but the ‘proceeding from the mouth,' this, it profanes the man.”   12Then His disciples, having come near, they said to Him, “You have known that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, they stumbled!” 13And having answered, He said, “Every planting that not He planted, My heavenly Father, it will be uprooted. 14You leave them! They are blind, blind-conductors. And blind, if they should conduct, both – they will fall into a pit.”   15And Peter, having answered, he said to Him, “You expound to us this parable.”   16And Jesus, He said, “And yet, you, you are unintelligent! 17Not yet you grasp that all, the ‘entering into the mouth,' into the stomach it contains, and into the john it ejects? 18And those proceeding from the mouth, it comes from the heart, and those, it commonizes the man. 19For from the heart, they come: evil meanderings, murders, adulteries, harlotries, thefts, false-witnessings, blasphemies. 20These, they are, the ‘defiling the man,' but to eat with unwashed hands, not it defiles the man.”   21And having departed thence, Jesus, He withdrew to the allotments – Tyre and Sidon. 22And you behold! A Canaanite woman from those same borders, having come, she cried to Him, saying, “You compassionate me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, she is demon possessed-badly.”   23And He answered not a word.   And having approached, His disciples, they entreated Him, saying, “You dismiss her! For she cries after us.”   24And answering, He said, “Not, I was sent, if not to the sheep, the ‘having been lost' – House Israel.”   25And having come, she worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, You rush-relieve me!”   26And answering, He said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and cast to the puppies.”   27And she said, “Yes, Lord. And even the puppies – he eats from the crumbs, the ‘falling from their master's table.'”   28Then, Jesus answering, He said to her, “O! Woman, your faith is great! It become to you as you determine.” And she's cured, her daughter, from that hour.   29And having departed thence, Jesus, He went near the Sea of the Galilee, and having ascended to the mountain, He sat there. 30And they came to Him, great crowds, having with them lame, cripples, blind, mutes, and others – many, and they strewed them near Jesus' feet, and He healed them. 31So too, the crowds marveled, seeing mutes speaking, cripples healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel.   32And Jesus, having summoned His disciples, He said, “I gut-wrench upon the crowd because already three days they bivouac with Me, and naught they have that they may eat. And I wish not to dismiss them unfed, not lest they should collapse in the way.”   33And the disciples, they say to Him, “Whence to us in solitude – loaves so many as to gorge a crowd so vast?”   34And He says to them, Jesus, “How many loaves do you have?”   And they said, “Seven, and a few tiddlers.”   35And He ordered the crowds to sit upon the ground. 36And having taken the seven loaves and the fish, and having thanked, He broke, and He gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. 37And they ate, all, and they gorged, and the superabounding of the fragments they lifted – seven hampers full. 38And those eating, they were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39And having dismissed the crowds, He in-stepped into the boat, and He came to the borders of Magdala.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp by Judith Dean单词提示1.litter 轿子2.vizier 高官3.majesty 陛下原文Chapter 4: Aladdin's LoveFive years later, Aladdin had a shop in the market, and three market sellers worked for him.The sellers liked Aladdin, because he was good to them.The market children liked Aladdin too, because he gave the money when he walkedpast.Everybody liked Aladdin.Aladdin's mother never called her son a good for nothing now.They had a nice house near the gardens, and she had many beautiful things.But only Aladdin and his mother knew about the magic lamp and the genie.One day, Aladdin heard a noise in the street and stop to listen.The sultan's daughter is coming, he heard Princess Bador Al Bodour is coming, six slaves carried the princess through the streets in a litter.And the people stopped to watch.“Princess,Princess Bador Al Bodour!”, they called.Aladdin watched when the litter came past him, and he saw the princess's face.She was beautiful with big dark eyes, the most beautiful woman in Arabia.The litter went past Aladdin, but for some minutes, he did not move, then he ran home.“Mother,mother, I saw the Sultan's daughter Princess Bador Al Bodour in the street.”Aladdin's face was white.“I must have the princess for my wife.”“But Aladdin.”, his mother began.“No buts. Mother, I love the princess and I want to marry her, go to the Sultan and ask for me.”“Me,go to the Sultan's palace. Oh, no, no, no.”, Aladdin's mother said, “Listen, my son, the daughters of a sultan do not marry poor boys from the city.”“But we are not poor now, mother, and we can give the Sultan something for his daughter.”“Wait.”,Aladdin went away and got the fruit from the magic garden under the ground, now of course he knew it was not fruit, but white, red, green, and yellow jewels.“Take these jewels, mother, on a gold plate.”, he said, “And give them to the Sultan.”So the next day, Aladdin's mother carried a gold plate with many beautiful jewels on it to the Sultan's palace.She went into a long room, but when she saw the Sultan, his vizier and all his slaves, she was very afraid.So,she waited quietly in the room and spoke to nobody.In the evening, she went back home again with the jewels.Aladdin was very angry with her mother.“You must speak to the Sultan.”, he said, “I have no father to do this for me, you must help me, I must marry the princess, I love her.”So,the next day and for many days after that, Aladdin's mother went to the palace,but she was always afraid to speak.In the end the, Sultan saw her and asked his vizier, “who is that woman, why does she come to the palace every day?”The vizier spoke to Aladdin's mother, “Do you want to speak to the Sultan?”“Yes.”“Come with me,” the vizier took Aladdin's mother to the Sultan, and she put her head on the ground at his feet.“Getup, woman, why do you come here every day.”, the Sultan asked, “Speak woman.”“Your majesty.”, Aladdin's mother said quietly, “I have a son, a good young man, he is called Aladdin, he loves your daughter Princess Bador Al Bodour, he cannot sleep or eat because of her, he wants to marry her.”The Sultan laughed, “What? marry my daughter? your son?”“Your majesty, these jewels are for you from my son Aladdin.”, and Aladdin's mother put the gold plate with the jewels in front of the Sultan's feet.Everybody looked at the jewels, and the long room was suddenly very quiet,Then the Sultan spoke.“These are very beautiful jewels.”, he said, “No man in Arabia has jewels more wonderful than these, your son is a rich man, a good husband for my daughter.”The vizier did not like to hear this, because he wanted the princess to marry hisson.”“Ah your majesty.”, he said quietly in the sultan's ear, “my son is a rich man too,and gave him three months, and he can find better jewels than these.”“Very well,” said the sultan.And to Aladdin's mother, he said, “Your son must wait for three months, and then perhaps he can marry my daughter.”Aladdin'smother went home to tell Aladdin, and the vizier went away to speak to his son.And every day for two months, the vizier's son came to the Sultan, and gave him gold and jewels and many beautiful things.For two months, Aladdin waited happily.But one day, his mother came home from the market and said, “Oh, Aladdin, Aladdin,the princess is going to marry the vizier's son. I heard it in the market,everybody's talking about it.”When Aladdin heard this, he was very unhappy.“What can I do.”, he thought.He put his head in his hands and thought for a long time, and when night came, he took out the magic lamp and rubbed it.“What is your wish? Master.”, said the genie of the lamp.“Bring Princess Bador Al Bodour to me,” said Aladdin.“To hear is to obey.”Ina second, the genie was back, with the princess asleep in his arms.He put her carefully on a bed, and then the princess opened her eyes and saw Aladdin.“Who are you?”, she asked, afraid.Aladdin took her hand and looked into her eyes.“My name is Aladdin, and I love you.”, he answered, “I cannot live without you, and I want to marry you.”Bador Al Bodour saw the love in his eyes and smiled.She closed her eyes again, then the genie carried her back to the Sultan's palace.The next morning, she remembered Aladdin's eyes.“There is no love in the eyes of the vizier's son.”, she thought. “He thinks only of gold and of jewels.”So,the princess went to her father.“I do not want to marry the vizier's son.”, she said, “I want Aladdin for my husband.”The Sultan was very surprised.“What can we do?”, he said to his vizier, “My daughter wants to marry this man,Aladdin, He is a rich man, it is true, but who is he?”“Ask him.”, said the vizier quickly, “For more of those beautiful jewels on 40 gold plates and 40 slave girls with 40 slaves. Nobody is that rich.”“Very good.”, smiled the sultan and said to his slaves, “Bring Aladdin's mother tome.”When Aladdin's mother arrived, the Sultan said, “So your son wants to marry my daughter, but first he must give me 40 gold plates with jewels. Forty slave girls with forty slaves must carry the plates to me, then my daughter can be his wife.”Aladdin'smother went home and told her son and Aladdin smiled.“This was easy for the genie of the lamp, of course.”And the next day, when Aladdin went to the palace, everybody in the city came out to watch.First came 40 slave girls in dresses of gold, and every girl carried a gold plate with wonderful jewels on it.After them walked, 40 slaves in coats of gold, and last came Aladdin on a beautiful white horse.“What do you say now?”, the Sultan said quietly to the vizier when he saw all these wonderful things, “Aladdin must marry my daughter. How can I say no?”And the Sultan went to Aladdin and took his hands.“My son.”, he said, “You can marry my daughter tonight.”“Tomorrow,your Majesty.”, said Aladdin, “Because before I marry your daughter, she must have a palace, the most beautiful palace in Arabia.”The genie of the lamp worked all night, and the next morning, the Sultan saw from his window a beautiful new palace with gardens of fruit trees and flowers.“Wonderful!”,he said.“Black magic.”, said the vizier quietly.That night, Aladdin married Bador Al Bodour, and they lived happily in the new palace.翻译第四章：阿拉丁的爱五年后，阿拉丁在市场上开了一家店，三个销售为他工作。 销售们喜欢阿拉丁，因为他对他们很好。 市场上的孩子们也喜欢阿拉丁，因为他走过时会把钱给阿拉丁。 大家都喜欢阿拉丁。 阿拉丁的母亲现在从来没有叫她的儿子一无是处。 他们在花园附近有一栋漂亮的房子，她有很多漂亮的东西。但只有阿拉丁和他的母亲知道神灯和精灵。 一天，阿拉丁听到街上有动静，便停下来听。 苏丹的女儿来了，他听说巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主来了，六个奴隶用轿子抬着公主穿过街道。 人们停下来观看。 “公主，巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主！”他们喊道。阿拉丁看着轿子从他身边经过，他看到了公主的脸。 她很漂亮，有一双大大的黑眼睛，是阿拉伯最漂亮的女人。轿子从阿拉丁身边经过，但几分钟后，他一动不动，然后跑回家。 “妈妈，妈妈，我在街上看到了苏丹的女儿巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主。”阿拉丁脸色苍白。 “我必须娶公主为妻。”“但是阿拉丁。”他妈妈开始说。 “没但是。妈妈，我爱公主，我想娶她，去苏丹那里找我。”“我？去苏丹的宫殿。哦，不，不，不。”阿拉丁的母亲说，“听着，我的儿子，苏丹的女儿不会嫁给城里的穷男孩。”“但我们现在不穷了，妈妈，我们可以给苏丹一些东西给他的女儿。”“等一下。”阿拉丁走了，从地下的魔法花园里摘下了水果，现在他当然知道这不是水果，而是白色、红色、绿色和黄色的宝石。 “妈妈，把这些珠宝放在金盘子里。”他说，“把它们送给苏丹。”于是第二天，阿拉丁的母亲带着一个金盘子，上面有许多美丽的珠宝，来到了苏丹的宫殿。 她走进一个长长的房间，但当她看到苏丹、他的大臣和所有的奴隶时，她非常害怕。 于是，她在房间里静静地等着，没有和任何人说话。 晚上，她又带着珠宝回家了。 阿拉丁对母亲非常生气。 “你必须和苏丹谈谈。”他说，“我没有父亲为我做这件事，你必须帮助我，我必须娶公主，我爱她。”于是，第二天和之后的许多天，阿拉丁的母亲都去了皇宫，但她总是害怕说话。 最后，苏丹看到了她，问他的大臣：“那个女人是谁，为什么她每天都来皇宫？”大臣对阿拉丁的母亲说：“你想和苏丹谈谈吗？”“是的。”“跟我来，”大臣把阿拉丁的母亲带到苏丹面前，她把头靠在他脚下的地上。 “起来，女人，你为什么每天都来这里。”苏丹问，“说吧，女人。”“陛下。”阿拉丁的母亲平静地说，“我有一个儿子，一个善良的年轻人，他叫阿拉丁，他爱你的女儿巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主，因为她，他睡不着也吃不着，他想娶她。”苏丹笑道：“什么？娶我的女儿？还是你的儿子？”“陛下，这些珠宝是我儿子阿拉丁送给您的。”阿拉丁的母亲把装有珠宝的金盘放在苏丹的脚前。 每个人都看着珠宝，长长的房间突然变得非常安静，随后，苏丹开口了。 “这些珠宝非常漂亮。”他说，“在阿拉伯，没有人有比这些更漂亮的珠宝了，你的儿子是个有钱人，是我女儿的好丈夫。”大臣不喜欢听到这些，因为他想让公主嫁给他的儿子。” “啊，陛下。”他在苏丹耳边轻声说，“我儿子也是个有钱人，给了他三个月的时间，他能找到比这些更好的珠宝。”“很好。”苏丹说。 他对阿拉丁的母亲说：“你的儿子必须等三个月，然后也许他可以娶我的女儿。”阿拉丁的母亲回家告诉阿拉丁，大臣走了去和他的儿子说话。 在两个月的时间里，大臣的儿子每天都会来苏丹那里，给他金子、珠宝和许多漂亮的东西。 阿拉丁高兴地等了两个月。 但有一天，他妈妈从市场回来，说：“哦，阿拉丁，阿拉丁。公主要嫁给大臣的儿子了。我在市场上听说了，大家都在谈论这件事。”阿拉丁听到这话，非常不高兴。 “我能做什么？”他想。 他双手抱头，想了很久，夜幕降临时，他拿出神灯，擦了擦。“你的愿望是什么？主人。”灯的精灵说。 “把巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔公主带到我这里来，”阿拉丁说。 “听到就是服从。”过了一会儿，精灵回来了，公主在他怀里睡着了。 他小心翼翼地把她放在床上，然后公主睁开眼睛，看见了阿拉丁。 “你是谁？”她害怕地问。 阿拉丁握住她的手，看着她的眼睛。 “我叫阿拉丁，我爱你。”他回答说，“没有你，我活不下去，我想娶你。”巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔看到了他眼中的爱，笑了。 她再次闭上眼睛，然后精灵把她带回了苏丹的宫殿。 第二天早上，她想起了阿拉丁的眼睛。 “大臣的儿子眼里没有爱。”她想。“他只想着金子和珠宝。”于是，公主去找她的父亲。 “我不想嫁给大臣的儿子。”她说，“我要阿拉丁做我的丈夫。”苏丹非常惊讶。 “我们能做什么？”他对大臣说，“我女儿想嫁给这个人，阿拉丁，他是个有钱人，这是真的，但他是谁？”“去问他吧。”大臣赶紧说，“要更多40个金盘上的那些美丽珠宝，还有40个奴隶女孩和40个奴隶。没有人那么富有。”“很好。”苏丹微笑着对他的奴隶们说，“把阿拉丁的母亲带到我这里来。”当阿拉丁的母亲到达时，苏丹说：“所以你的儿子想娶我的女儿，但首先他必须给我40个装有珠宝的金盘子。40个女奴和40个奴隶必须把盘子带给我，然后我的女儿就可以做他的妻子了。”阿拉丁的母亲回家告诉儿子，阿拉丁笑了。 “当然，这对灯的精灵来说很容易。”第二天，当阿拉丁去皇宫时，城里的每个人都出来观看。 首先来的是40个穿着金衣服的奴隶女孩，每个女孩都带着一个金盘子，上面镶嵌着精美的珠宝。他们走了之后，40个穿着金大衣的奴隶，最后一个是阿拉丁，骑着一匹漂亮的白马。 “你现在说什么？”苏丹看到这些美妙的事情，平静地对大臣说，“阿拉丁必须娶我的女儿。我怎么能说不呢？”苏丹走到阿拉丁跟前，握住他的手。 “我的儿子，”他说，“今晚你可以娶我的女儿。”“明天，陛下。”阿拉丁说，“因为在我娶你女儿之前，她必须有一座宫殿，阿拉伯最美丽的宫殿。”灯的精灵整夜工作，第二天早上，苏丹从窗户看到一座美丽的新宫殿，里面有果树和鲜花的花园。 “太棒了！”他说。 “黑魔法。”大臣平静地说。 那天晚上，阿拉丁嫁给了巴多尔·阿尔·博杜尔，他们在新宫殿里幸福地生活着。

Estamos de regreso y el 2026 no le dio descanso a nadie. El año arrancó calientito y con la fila del desempleo llena. Chelsea, Manchester United y hasta Real Madrid decidieron separarse de sus técnicos, mandándolos desde temprano en el año a las filas del desempleo.Además, "la pachanga de Arabia" o mejor dicho, la Supercopa de España, terminó con victoria para el Barcelona tras vencer en semifinales al proyecto del Athletic Club y en la final al odiado rival, Real Madrid.

"Saint Gregory, the younger brother of Basil the Great, illustrious in speech and a zealot for the Orthodox faith, was born in 331. His brother Basil was encouraged by their elder sister Macrina to prefer the service of God to a secular career (see July 19); Saint Gregory was moved in a similar way by his godly mother Emily, who, when Gregory was still a young man, implored him to attend a service in honour of the holy Forty Martyrs at her retreat at Annesi on the River Iris. Saint Gregory came at his mother's bidding, but being wearied with the journey, and feeling little zeal, he fell asleep during the service. The Forty Martyrs then appeared to him in a dream, threatening him and reproaching him for his slothfulness. After this he repented and became very diligent in the service of God. He became bishop in 372, and because of his Orthodoxy he was exiled in 374 by Valens, who was on one mind with the Arians. After Valens' death in 378 he was recalled to his throne by the Emperor Gratian. He attended the Local Council of Antioch, which sent him to visit the churches of Arabia and Palestine, which had been defiled and ravaged by Arianism. He attended the Second Ecumenical Council, which was assembled in Constantinople in 381. Having lived some sixty years and left behind many remarkable writings, he reposed about the year 395. The acts of the Seventh Ecumenical Council call him "Father of Fathers." (Great Horologion)

We open on the fifth anniversary of January 6th by examining MAGA's stunning overnight flip-flop on war and foreign intervention. How did "America First" isolationists like Matt Walsh, Laura Loomer, and Cat Turd suddenly become cheerleaders for regime change in Venezuela? Why are pundits so confused by this reversal when we've seen it all before?Using clips from The Lion in Winter and Lawrence of Arabia, we explain why MAGA isn't a set of policy beliefs—it's a genre, a vibe. Republican voters are like actors reading whatever script Trump hands them, whether it's "No More Wars" on Monday or "Blood for Oil" on Wednesday. We break down the difference between affirmative covenants (like "I will release the Epstein Files") and negative covenants (like "No More Wars"), and why one promise broke MAGA's trust while the other didn't.We also revisit 2005-2006 when Bush's unified Republican government similarly unraveled—not as prediction, but as reminder that political gravity hasn't been repealed, and being shackled to a rapidly unraveling lunatic isn't where any member of Congress wants to be heading into midterms.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodor Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 339: Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC was first introduced to director Ryan Coogler through fellow DPs Bradford Young and Rachel Morrison. After their successful collaboration on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Coogler sent her the script for Sinners, a supernatural horror-action film. The film tells the story of twin brothers who return home in the 1930's to open a juke joint, only to encounter the ancient evil of the undead. Autumn's epic cinematic camerawork on Sinners integrates the vampire story with the spiritual power of Black American rhythm and blues music.  Though Coogler initially envisioned shooting in 16mm, the team realized a larger format would better facilitate the complex "twinning" effects required for Michael B. Jordan's dual roles. After rigorous testing, they landed on a historic combination of 70mm and IMAX. “I think one thing with Ryan, when you're standing next to someone that's a brave filmmaker, you feel like you can do anything.” Autumn says. “He's open to anything. He's excited about doing things for the first time. He creates an environment where people have power and the collaboration is at the highest level.” The production was a logistical marathon. The massive IMAX cameras were frequently rigged to cranes or mounted on Steadicams, all while the crew battled the volatile Mississippi summer. Between the oppressive heat, sudden rain, and thick mud, the physical act of filming became an exercise in endurance. “We've seen those movies like Lawrence of Arabia, and everybody out there with big cameras trying to tell a story with scope,” notes Autumn. “You know, you're in the land. You then become a person that's a part of the structure of the land. And you have to be able to work in it, with the elements to get the most beautiful images. It's not easy.” Perhaps the film's greatest technical feat is the juke joint sequence set to the song “I Lied To You.” What appears as a seamless “oner” is actually several complex shots threaded together. The sequence required months of storyboarding, pre-visualization and camera rehearsals in the space to execute. By placing the heavy IMAX rig on a Steadicam, the team rehearsed every beat to ensure the emotional momentum remained unbroken as the camera moved from an interior stage setup to an exterior shot of a burning mill. The final roof collapse was a practical plate shot on the final day of principal photography, later enhanced by VFX. Seeing that scene still makes Autumn feel emotional. “I get very teary-eyed when I watch that because I'm proud of everybody, and you can really feel the music in the theater.” See Sinners in select theaters and streaming on HBO Max.

While the Old Covenant Israelites received instruction from Moses directly, Paul, in the New Covenant, received training from God personally. Join Kenneth Copeland and Professor Greg Stephens on Believer's Voice of Victory and learn that, like Paul, your training is not based on Mosaic Law. All that you learn is based on the sacrifice of Jesus and instruction from the Holy Spirit. Together, they explore God's WORD to highlight key points about the revelation of Paul and why The LORD inspired him to know it.
