Now it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?4 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.10 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

Mohammad Hassan, former Ethiopian diplomat, veteran communist and a friend of Eritrean independence speaks at our Southall Seminar on Sudan. Professor Hassan gives a weekly TV political education class and current affairs program that is broadcast to the entire Horn of Africa, and for Amharic speakers can be enjoyed here: / @zementvzewdushow3 He gives a background to the geopolitics of Sudan, talks about its rich resources and history and notes that it has all the resources to be a prosperous country: land, water, oil, gold, people! It was the biggest country in Africa. The people were prosperous before it was colonised. It could feed the world - Why should they suffer? Above all, leadership and vision decide everything! The crime of Khruschevite revisionism limited the scope of action and vision of the Sudanese and Middle Eastern communist movement. They lost the will and ability to fight for independence and to take the wealth and organise society for our liberation. Cde Hassan notes also the role of French imperialism in slaughtering 10,000 Arabic teachers in order to make the “Pygmi” language of French the lingua franca of their African Empire. Which it remains to this day. The Abraham accords are only signed by Bahrain and the Emirates. Those tiny states are sectarian extensions of imperialism, and along with Israel are designed to police the entire region. To that end they have embarked on a program of “port” imperialism, to control the strategic waterway of the Red Sea and its African and Arabian coastline. In this way they can dominate not only the key trading routes of the world, but the adjoining nations access to those key waterways - it is this that is responsible for the ills of the region. ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

Welcome to Day 2852 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2852 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 120:1-7 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2852 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2852 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Song of Ascent – Waking Up in the Empire of Lies In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we reached the absolute summit of the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm One Hundred Nineteen. We explored the final "Taw" stanza, where the psalmist placed his definitive seal upon his life's work. We learned that true spiritual maturity does not mean pretending we are flawless; rather, it means humbly crying out to the Divine Shepherd, admitting that we sometimes wander like lost sheep, yet fiercely holding onto the cosmic blueprint of His Word. We rested at that towering peak, fully anchored in the eternal, unshakeable instructions of Yahweh. Today, we are lacing up our boots for an entirely new phase of our journey. We are stepping off the massive mountain of the Torah, and we are stepping onto the pilgrim's trail. Today, we begin a collection of fifteen specific, incredibly powerful psalms, known as the "Songs of Ascents." These are Psalms One Hundred Twenty, through One Hundred Thirty-Four. In the ancient world, faithful Israelites sang these specific songs as they traveled from their scattered homes, walking upward, ascending geographically and spiritually, toward the holy city of Jerusalem for the three great annual festivals. But the journey upward does not begin in a place of joy. It begins in a place of deep, suffocating distress. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Twenty, verses one through seven, in the New Living Translation. Let us step onto the trail, and learn what it means to wake up, look around, and realize that we are living behind enemy lines. The first segment is: The Cry from the Chaos, and the Native Tongue of the Enemy Psalm One Hundred Twenty: verses one and two. I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. Rescue me, O Lord, from liars and from all deceitful people. The Song of Ascents begins with a backward glance at a moment of desperate crisis. The psalmist declares, "I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer." Notice that the journey to the presence of God does not start when everything in your life is perfectly organized. The pilgrimage begins in the trenches of human trouble. The Hebrew word used here for "troubles" implies being squeezed into a tight, restrictive, and suffocating space. The psalmist was trapped, entirely out of earthly options, and so, he directed his voice upward. He cried out to the Sovereign of the universe, and he confidently testifies that the Creator bent down, and answered his plea. But what exactly was the nature of this suffocating trouble? He reveals the source of his agony in verse two: "Rescue me, O Lord, from liars and from all deceitful people." In our modern context, we often view lying as a relatively minor, common ethical failure. We expect politicians to spin the truth, we expect advertisements to exaggerate, and we tolerate small deceptions as a normal part of doing business. But in the Ancient Israelite worldview, deception was not a minor flaw; it was cosmic warfare. To fully grasp this, we must look through the lens of the Divine Council, as taught by Dr. Michael S. Heiser. When the rebel spiritual beings—the fallen sons of God—rebelled against Yahweh, they did not use physical swords; they used deception. The serpent in the Garden of Eden weaponized a lie to sever humanity from the Source of Life. Therefore, lying is the native tongue of the kingdom of darkness. When the psalmist cries out to be rescued from "deceitful people," he is not just complaining about annoying neighbors. He is recognizing that his surrounding culture is operating under the oppressive, manipulative influence of dark, spiritual principalities. The air he breathes is toxic with the propaganda of the rebel gods. The world is trying to deceive him into abandoning his loyalty to the cosmic order of Yahweh, and the spiritual pressure of these constant lies is absolutely suffocating his soul. The second segment is: The Divine Warrior's Arsenal Against the Lie Psalm One Hundred Twenty: verses three and four O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals. Having identified the weapon of the enemy, the psalmist turns and addresses the deceitful tongue directly. He uses a rhetorical, legal format, asking, "O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?" He is essentially serving notice to the agents of chaos. He is reminding the liars, and the rebel spirits empowering them, that the universe has a Supreme Judge. The cosmic courtroom of Yahweh will not tolerate the vandalism of truth forever. There is a deeply rooted, unshakeable justice built into the fabric of creation, and those who weaponize deception will ultimately reap a terrifying harvest. The psalmist details this impending, divine justice in verse four. "You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals." This is the majestic, terrifying imagery of Yahweh acting as the Divine Warrior. In the ancient Near East, a deceitful tongue was often compared to a sharp, deadly arrow, shot in secret to assassinate a person's character. Or, it was compared to a destructive, spreading fire that burns down a community. God's justice is often described as a perfectly measured, reciprocal response. Since the wicked used arrows of lies, the Divine Warrior will string His own cosmic bow. He will pierce the deception with the sharp, unyielding arrows of His truth. Because the wicked used words to start destructive fires, they will be subjected to the "glowing coals" of divine judgment. Other translations specify these as "coals of the broom tree." The roots of the desert broom tree burned with an incredibly intense, white-hot heat, and they retained their fire for a very long time. This signifies that God's judgment against the cosmic rebellion will not be a brief, passing flash. It will be an intense, enduring, and utterly consuming fire that permanently purifies the cosmos, burning away every last remnant of the serpent's lies. The Third Segment is: The Spiritual Geography of Exile Psalm One Hundred Twenty: verse five. How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar. The psalmist suddenly shifts from the fiery imagery of divine judgment, to a profound, melancholic reflection on his current, earthly reality. "How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar." To understand the emotional weight of this verse, we must look at a map of the ancient world. Meshech was a territory located in the extreme, rugged north, in the region of modern-day Turkey, or southern Russia. The people of Meshech were known as brutal, barbarous warriors. Kedar, on the other hand, was located in the extreme, scorching south. It was a region of the Arabian desert, populated by nomadic, often hostile tribes. Meshech and Kedar were thousands of miles apart. It was geographically impossible for the psalmist to be living in both places at the exact same time. Therefore, he is not giving us his literal mailing address; he is mapping his spiritual geography. By naming Meshech in the far north, and Kedar in the far south, he is drawing a massive circle around the known, pagan world. He is declaring, "I am surrounded by hostility. I am living in the dark, chaotic fringes of the earth." In the Deuteronomy Thirty-Two worldview, these are the territories of the disinherited nations. These are the lands ruled by the lesser, fallen elohim, where the worship of false gods, brutality, and deception are the established laws of the land. The psalmist is expressing a crushing, overwhelming sense of spiritual homesickness. He is an exile. He belongs to the kingdom of light, but he is forced to pitch his tent in the empire of darkness. It causes him actual, physical pain to wake up every morning in a culture that violently rejects the beautiful, life-giving order of his Creator. The fourth segment is: The Exhaustion of Seeking Peace in a World of War Psalm One Hundred Twenty: verses six and...

Among other things, Thomas Edward Lawrence was an author, archeologist, and British Army officer.  During the First World War, he served as a liaison between the British and the Arab tribes fighting Ottoman rule in the western Arabian desert.  Lawrence spent approximately two years and covered hundreds of miles by camel in this role.  His campaign was successful in toppling Ottoman rule yet failed to fully meet the Arab tribes' aspirations for self-rule.  Lawrence tells the story in “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow gap of water in the Middle East between Iran and the Arabian peninsula. About 3,000 or so ships sail through the Strait each month - that's about 80 ships a day. About 20% of the world's oil and gas passes through it. But now, it's an active war zone. As the US and Israel continue strikes on Iran, and Iran launches missiles at Israel and nearby Gulf states in retaliation, key shipping routes are being disrupted as well as oil and gas production in the region.Iran says it has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, and that it would "set fire" to any ships trying to pass through it. In this episode we explain how this war could affect the wider world and why closing the Strait of Hormuz could lead to higher prices for petrol, food and electronics for us all. Kayleen Devlin from BBC Verify tells us what's happening to ships in the Strait of Hormuz and BBC business reporter Nick Marsh describes why parts of Asia are already feeling the effects.

It's Wednesday, February 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Yemen authorities arrested 20 Christians Authorities in Yemen, a country in the Middle East bordering Saudi Arabia to the north, have arrested at least 20 Christians in recent months. For simply professing Christ, these believers can face torture and even death. The Islamic country is located in the south of the Arabian peninsula. It is illegal for Christians to publicly display or share their faith there.  International Christian Concern notes, “The arrests in Yemen paradoxically confirm what missionaries and human rights observers have long suspected: despite being one of the most dangerous places on Earth to be a Christian, Yemen hosts a growing indigenous church.” According to Open Doors, Yemen is the third most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, “On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” Christian Canadian fined $750,000 for opposing gender confusion The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal fined a Canadian Christian $750,000 last week for opposing gender confusion. Barry Neufield is a former Board of Education trustee for the district of Chilliwack. He posted on social media that there are only two sexes, and he opposed transgender ideology in the schools. Neufield wrote on Facebook that the widespread embrace of such ideology has “demonized people of faith who believe that God created humans male and female: In the Image of God.” Judge fined Maryland school district for promoting sexual perversion In the United States, a federal judge fined Maryland's largest school district $1.5 million last week for promoting sexual perversity. Parents sued Montgomery County Public Schools for not allowing them to opt their children out of storybooks featuring such perversity. Eric Baxter with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty commented, “Public schools nationwide are on notice: running roughshod over parental rights and religious freedom isn't just illegal—it's costly.” Louisiana allowed to display 10 Commandments in classrooms Louisiana can now enforce its law for every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments.  The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling last week in favor of the displays. The ruling stated, “There can be no doubt that the Ten Commandments bear immense religious significance. … But they also ‘have historical significance as one of the foundations of our legal system.'” Deuteronomy 6:7 and 9 says this of God's commandments: “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ... You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Vermont foster families allowed to affirm Biblical view The state of Vermont will no longer require families to abandon their religious beliefs in order to be foster families. The new policy comes thanks to the litigation of Alliance Defending Freedom. The issue began after Vermont revoked the licenses of two Christian families for opposing gender confusion.  The Christian legal rights group's Senior Counsel, Johannes Delphonse, said, “This is an incredible victory for children in Vermont's foster-care system.” Conservative Methodist denomination hits 7,000 churches worldwide The Global Methodist Church recently announced it reached 7,000 churches worldwide.  The denomination launched in 2022 after years of internal conflict within the United Methodist Church over human sexuality. Many theologically conservative churches left the mainline denomination since then. The Global Methodist Church posted on Facebook, “This moment reminds us that growth isn't just measured in numbers — it's found in repentance, renewal, and lives being transformed by Jesus Christ.” U.S. economy growing slower than expected U.S. economic growth was slower than expected during the fourth quarter of 2025. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent last quarter. That's down from 4.4 percent during the third quarter and much lower than expectations.  Government spending was down during the fourth quarter because of the record-length shutdown.  Chicago man saved baby out of frigid Lake Michigan And finally, a Chicago man saved an eight-month-old baby from the frigid 35-degree waters of Lake Michigan last Wednesday.  Block Club Chicago reports 30-year-old Lio Cundiff was taking a walk along the lake at Belmont Harbor. That's when he heard a woman scream. Gusting winds had sent her stroller with her baby into the lake.  Cundiff can't swim. But he dove in to save the baby anyways. He wasn't sure how long he could keep her above water, but thankfully other bystanders stepped in and helped.  He said, “If she's going down, I'm going down with her. I couldn't live with myself if that baby hadn't made it. … If it wasn't for everyone being alert and helping, I don't know what would've happened. I'm very thankful.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, February 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

As the Epstein fallout intensifies around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Meghan Markle is reportedly urging Prince Harry to stay silent and avoid being dragged into what one royal expert calls the biggest royal crisis since Princess Diana's death. Duncan Larcombe says Meghan will be wary of “guilt by association” and likely telling Harry, “keep your head down, don't get involved.”Harry is said to be especially distressed for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, two of the few royals who maintained ties with him. Meanwhile, Meghan is preparing a carefully curated Valentine's Day publicity blitz for her As Ever brand, built around romance and nostalgia — even as speculation swirls about the couple leading increasingly separate professional lives.Reports claim the Sussexes are on “different paths,” with Meghan focused on Hollywood and Harry on Invictus and UK commitments. There are even whispers of contingency plans should things unravel. Add in Kim Kardashian drama, an EastEnders jam joke, and accusations Meghan is in “meltdown mode,” and it's another week of relentless Sussex headlines.Meanwhile, Prince William attempts to refocus attention on conservation efforts in Saudi Arabia — planting trees, praising ecological restoration projects and talking Arabian leopards — as the wider royal storm shows no sign of easing.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy."Crown and Controversy: Norway" is covering the trial of Marius Borg Høiby as the Norwegian Royal Family is faced with multiple scandals of their own.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Aiming True, Living FullyGracen Fletcher grew up under Indiana skies, where the wind danced across hayfields and horses ran free. A farm girl through and through, she learned to saddle up almost as early as she could walk. Her days were filled with muck boots, fiddle strings, and the steady hum of country life. Whether she was training one of her family's Arabian horses, casting a fishing line at the pond, or hitting bullseyes with her bow, Gracen lived wide awake to the world around her.Her brother got into archery first, and the rest of the family followed. At first, Gracen just tagged along. But the more she shot, the more she found herself hooked. The quiet focus, the feel of the release, the rhythm — archery used the same discipline she'd learned from horseback riding. And just like that, she discovered a lasting passion.By the time she turned 10, Gracen was competing. At 17, she made history in Las Vegas, shooting a perfect 900 — something only a handful of women had ever done. The spotlight turned to her quickly, and, as a result, the Olympic door stood wide open.But another door opened, too.Gracen had long dreamed of earning a degree from Cedarville University, a school with a commitment to faith that matched her own. She thought she'd have to choose: train for the Olympics or attend college. But Cedarville's new fully online accounting program made it possible to do both.Now, from her family's farm in Boonville, she balances Olympic-level training with online studies. Her days start early with chapel, continue with coursework, and end with hours of practice in the barn or the field. It's a full life, but one anchored in purpose.Gracen doesn't see archery as her identity — it's a gift. She competes with grit, but her aim stays fixed on something higher. Through every arrow and every assignment, she's living to honor God, knowing He's the one who gave her these passions to begin with.She recently shared more of her journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on how faith, family, and focus have shaped her both on the range and in the classroom.Gracen's story is a reminder: Sometimes you don't have to pick one dream over another — sometimes, with faith and the right fit, you can live both.https://share.transistor.fm/s/49abb142https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2dfe3GFjPo
