In this richly layered episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump takes listeners on an unexpected but eye-opening journey through Victorian art, elite ideology, and the philosophical roots of what would become the modern deep state. Beginning with the spiritual rebellion of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, painters who rejected academic art in favor of moral, mythic, and nature-infused themes, Matt follows the ripple effect their work had on cultural critics like John Ruskin, who laid the intellectual groundwork for a radical reimagining of economics, society, and power. From Ruskin's moral vision of wealth to the impassioned social reformism of young Oxford lecturer Arnold Toynbee, this episode traces how aesthetic and ethical movements morphed into a concrete conspiracy of influence. Matt unpacks how Toynbee's idealistic student Alfred Milner went on to help found the Rhodes-Milner Round Table, later forming the backbone of the Anglo-American Establishment, including the Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House. It's a blueprint for elite control that began not in boardrooms, but in classrooms, galleries, and idealistic discussions about beauty and justice. With vivid historical anecdotes, philosophical depth, and trademark humor, Matt shows how the same formula repeated a century later with 1960s progressivism and the rise of the American security state. This episode is a masterclass in how culture builds empires, and why understanding art might be the first step in dismantling the system that governs us now.
Few concepts are more important to our society than resilience. Agnostic of domain, of nation, culture, and scale (as vital, indeed, to the individual life as to the planetary civilization), it would be impossible to overstate the pressure on us to understand it. If resilience is a core competency of our time, it would not be hyperbole to say that Dr. David Woods one of our most important thinkers.

Le déclin de la France ne fait plus guère débat aujourd'hui. Il se manifeste par quantité de chiffres économiques et sociaux. De puissance moyenne, nous devenons peu à peu une puissance impuissante, rongée par des problèmes économiques, financiers et sociaux qui nous semblent insolubles. Le monde se construit sans nous, une réalité difficilement acceptable pour un peuple qui a longtemps prétendu le guider par sa flamme. Pour comprendre la logique de ce déclin, il est intéressant de relire l'historien Arnold Toynbee, spécialiste de l'histoire des civilisations. Pour lui, le déterminant de l'ascension et du déclin d'une civilisation est sa capacité créative. C'est une perspective fascinante.
Nech by sa zdalo akokoľvek mocné, bohaté či až po uši vyzbrojené, nejestvuje impérium, ktoré by napokon nepadlo. Nepretrvala Rímska ríša, upadla a zanikla Osmanská ríša a ani Britské impérium, o ktorom sa hovorilo, že nad ním slnko nezapadá, už dnes nejestvuje. Preto by azda najjednoduchšie poučenie z dejín mohlo znieť, že nič netrvá večne. V histórii však hľadáme aj poučenie a proces úpadku kedysi mocných ríš ponúka príťažlivý námet na úvahy. Aké príčiny, faktory a okolnosti sa rozhodujúcim spôsobom podieľali na rozklade a definitívnom zániku rozľahlých ríš? Dokážeme si jednotlivé príklady zo vzdialenejšej či blízkej minulosti racionalizovať a vyvodiť z nich konkrétne závery? A je vôbec možné zvrátiť proces úpadku a nastaviť spätný chod? Tieto či iné otázky fascinujú historikov, archeológov, politológov a ďalších spoločenských vedcov po celom svete. Knihy od takých autorov ako Jared Diamond, Nail Ferguson, ale aj Arnold Toynbee, ktorí sa vo väčšej či menšej miere uvedenej téme venujú či venovali, patria k najčítanejším a obraz úpadku či rovno nekontrolovaného pádu impéria je vďačnou témou aj v populárnej kultúre. Skrátka, skaza a zánik človeka nikdy neprestanú fascinovať. A rovnako fascinujúci pohľad na dejiny ľudstva ponúka aj nová kniha od vydavateľstva Premedia s titulom Pády impérií, ktorá na jednom mieste sústreďuje analýzy slovenských a českých vedcov o konkrétnych historických kapitolách od staroveku až po nedávnu minulosť. Jaro Valent z časopisu Historická revue sa rozprával so spoluautormi a editormi spomínanej knihy, historikmi Branislavom Kovárom z Archeologického ústavu SAV a s Jakubom Drábikom z Anglo-American University v Prahe. *Podporte podcast Dejiny v aplikácii Toldo na sme.sk/extradejiny. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Dejiny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ben Landau Taylor is a writer, historian, and one of the minds behind the Bismark Brief, whose research is focused on understanding the life cycle of civilizations. Much of his work has been informed by the work of Caroll Quigley, who in the 1970s put together a seven part framework for how civilizations are born, mature, and eventually go extinct. His model was one of an economic instrument of expansion, where the tools of growth defined the success of the empire - a direct contradiction to contemporary Arnold Toynbee's perspective that it wasn't economics that drove civilization - it was some kind of spiritual commitment to a common cause. The economic model seemed more reasonable to Taylor, who then wanted to know - was it simply applicable to European history, or was this a more universal model? We talk about the ways that the rise and fall of civilizations generalizes across history, the place our own civilization is in the progression, and what the future might hold.

Over the years 1934-1961, British historian Arnold Toynbee published his 12-volume A Study of History. Toynbee studied the rise and fall of 23 civilizations. His conclusion was that great civilizations die not from external causes, but from internal causes. They commit suicide. Toynbee concluded, in the words of one journalist, that “civilizations start to decay when they lose their moral fiber.” We don't have to be great historians to know that civilizations have come and gone. Forever is not a given fact of life. In this vein, in this political season, with the excitement of an upcoming election in which...Article Link
What is a Golden Age? This week, join Cyrus Palizban and Rainer Franz, the Business Development Director at Lightning, as we discuss Rainer's lecture series on the Golden Ages, discussing the rise and fall of great civilizations like Greece, Persia, and Rome. We explore the concept of a 'Golden Age,' how the phases of civilizations are compared to seasonal cycles, and the difference between Oswald Spengler's deterministic views and Arnold Toynbee's focus on societal rigidity. We touch upon the conspicuous parallels between the Greco-Roman civilization and the present state of the West. Delving into historical parallels, the role of philosophy, and the influence of past writings on contemporary society, we wonder what can be done to ensure a continued future for the West. 00:00 Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Empires 00:19 Guest Introduction: Meet Rainer Franz 01:06 Defining the Golden Ages 01:13 The Influence of Oswald Spengler 03:03 Rainer's Interest in Historical Parallels 04:13 Learning from History: Practical Applications 05:22 The Power of Reading and Imagination 08:29 What Makes a Society? 10:17 Oswald Spengler's Philosophy and the Ur Symbol 12:34 The Lifecycle of Civilizations 13:22 Greek and Roman Civilizations: A Comparative Analysis 23:14 The Roman Legacy and Its Modern Relevance 24:04 The Preservation of Ancient Wisdom 24:46 Western Fascination with Greece and Rome 25:15 The Role of Time in Different Civilizations 27:07 The Impact of Rome on Civilization 29:14 Spengler's Theory on the Life Cycle of Civilizations 30:16 Comparing Spengler and Toynbee's Views 33:17 The Transition from Money Politics to Power Politics 39:03 Modern Parallels to Ancient Civilizations 43:11 The Potential for a New Beginning 44:45 Join the Conversation If you're craving a deeper exploration of these topics, consider joining Rainer's lecture series through the link in the description. https://smartlink2.metricool.com/public/smartlink/lightning-945
Arnold Toynbee, Osmanlı'nın tarihten çekilmesini Ehl-i Sünnetin çökertilmesi olarak tarif eder. Bölgenin haritaları jeo-stratejik öncelikler üzerinden değil, teopolotik öncelikler üzerinden çiziliyor. O yüzden Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nı bizi / İslâm'ı durdurmak için çıkardılar. Allah İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nı başlarına belâ etti. Üçüncü Dünya Savaşı'nı da bizim gelişimizi durdurmak için çıkaracaklar… İRAN, KÜRESEL SİSTEMİN MAŞASI Asıl “Büyük Oyun” şimdi başlıyor: İsrail-İran gizli ittifakı Ortadoğu'yu kana bulayacak… Bunun ilk ürpertici işaretleri son iki gündür yaşanıyor: Önce İsrail, Beyrut'u bombaladı. Sonra da bugün #Hamas lideri İsmail Heniyye, Tahran'da düzenlenen bir suikast sonucu şehit edildi. İran, Hamas liderini koruyamayacak kadar âciz bir devlet mi? Aslâ! İran varlığını İsrail'e borçlu. İsrail de varlığını İran'a. Bin yıl önceki büyük oyun aynen sahneleniyor: Biz, bütün Müslümanlar bir taraftan Moğol, diğer taraftan Haçlı
Kevin Freeman celebrates the 300th episode of "Economic War Room," highlighting its growth relative to other long-standing series and underlining the importance of sharing powerful and important information. He emphasizes America's nearing 250th birthday and reflects on historian Arnold Toynbee's observation that great civilizations self-destruct, expressing concern that the U.S. is on a similar path due to economic decline and moral degradation. Introducing economic warfare topics, Freeman discusses the debt crisis, inflation, and the risks posed by weaponizing currency, advocating for a return to a gold and silver standard to ensure economic stability and advocating for state-level action. In conclusion, he calls for prayer, diligent action, and thanksgiving to God to navigate and overcome economic challenges, invoking the historical inspiration of Britain's Dunkirk evacuation.
Ülkemizde bazı siyasi geleneklerin zihniyet bağlamından köklü bir değişime uğramayacağına dair bir kanaatim var. Bir yönüyle Arnold Toynbee'nin dediği gibi “Doğu Doğu'dur, Batı da Batı'dır.” Bu bağlamda ülkemiz entelektüellerinin ömrünün tamamına yakını CHP üzerine yapılan mülahazalarla geçmiştir. İnönü'nün eski CHP'si, Ecevit CHP'si, Baykal CHP'si, Kılıçdaroğlu CHP'si ve Özgür Özel'in temsil ettiği ve ilk bakışta iki başlı olan bugünkü CHP. Cumhuriyet Halk Partili politikacılar bugüne kadar geleneksel partililer, Atatürkçülük ve sırasıyla Özal, Erbakan ve Erdoğan korkusuyla iç kaleye sığınmış kitlelerin yönetilmesinden ibaretti. Bu sebepten dolayı herhangi bir belediye başkanı ve siyasetçi, birkaç Kemalist nutuk atınca, konuşmalarda alkış almayınca Atatürk ismini kullanarak daha çok kentleşmesini tamamlamış illerde varlık göstererek siyaseti bugünlere taşıdılar. Daha önce İstanbul, Ankara belediyelerinin CHP tarafından kazanılması ve bugün daha çok rasyonel seçmenin var olduğu illerde birçok belediyenin alınması partiyi doğal olarak yeni arayışlara itmiştir. Seçim sonuçlarının bu şekilde olacağını ne AK Parti ne de Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi bekliyordu. Bu sebepten dolayı seçim sonrası olanı biteni yorumlamak için CHP'de hiç de alışkın olmadığımız bir teenni durumu var. Öncelikli olarak İmamoğlu'nun seçim sonrası beklentisi şu şekilde idi; “Değil mi ki kurultayı ben organize ettim ve Özgür Özel'e kazandırdım, bu partinin doğal lideri benim. Seçimden sonra bu işi bir hal yoluna koyarız.” Seçim sonuçları hiç de İmamoğlu'na hayal ettiği iklimi sunmadı. Partinin başarılı olması, belediye başkanlarının olduğu kadar genel başkanın başarısı olarak görüldü ve Özgür Özel pozisyon almaya başladı.

Tarihin en büyük kıyımlarından biri yaşanıyor. Tarihte canlı yayınlanan bir soykırıma tanıklık ediyor insanlık ilk defa. İşte bu ürpertici! İnsanın insanlığa karşı duyarsızlaşmasıyla sonuçlanır bu. Bu yazıyı tarihe kayıt düşmek için yazıyorum. OSMANLI GİTTİ, DÜNYA CEHENNEME ÇEVRİLDİ Batılı değerlerin ne denli içi boş, anlamsız, ruhsuz olduğu gün ışığına çıktı. Batı uygarlığı öldü, Gazze'de toprağa gömüldü. Filistin'de yüzyılın en büyük katliamı yaşanıyor. Çoluk çocuk demeden masum siviller katlediliyor. Gazze kan gölüne döndü. Kandan beslenen vampirler bunlar. İnsanlık suçu işliyor İsrailli haydutlar. Sadece İsrail terör devleti değil, İsrail terör devletine destek veren ülkeler de suç ortaklığı yapıyorlar İsrail'in vahşetine ses çıkarmayarak. Gazze'de yaşanan soykırım ve bu soykırıma karşı dünyanın hiçbir şey yapamaması, sadece seyretmesi, bir gerçeği yüksek sesle haykırmamız gerektiğini hatırlatıyor bize: Osmanlı gitti, dünyadan ruh çekildi. Osmanlı gitti, dünya cehenneme çevrildi. Osmanlının durdurulmasından sonra yeryüzü bir daha gün yüzü göremedi. Osmanlı durduruldu dünyanın dengesi bozuldu. Osmanlı durduruldu, dünya iki büyük cihan savaşına sürüklendi. Dünyadaki bütün dengeler alt üst oldu. Dünyanın haritaları yeniden çizildi. SÜNNÎ DÜNYANIN PARÇALANMASI... Aradan bir asır geçti, dünya bir kez daha bir dünya savaşının eşiğine sürüklenme tehlikesi ile karşı karşıya. Dünyanın ekseni yüz sene önce İslâm dünyasından Atlantik'e kaymıştı. Yüz sene sonra Atlantik'ten Pasifik'e doğru kayıyor jeo- stratejik olarak. Bu süreçte Osmanlı yıkıldı, Ehl-i Sünnet'in dünyası paramparça edildi. Başkanlardan ve Kafkaslardan İslâm uzaklaştırıldı. Tam 110 yıl önce Balkanlarda ürpertici bir Balkan mezalimi ve soykırımı yapıldı. 300 milyon insan katledildi. Arnold Toynbee, Osmanlı'nın durdurulmasıyla ve tarihten uzaklaştırılmasıyla birlikte Sünnî dünyanın parçalandığını söylemişti. Hilafetin bitirilmesi, Sünnî dünyanın yaşadığı en büyük yıkımlardan biri oldu. Sünnî dünyanın dört bir cephede yediği bu darbelerden sonra Şia'nın önü alabildiğine açıldı. Önümüzdeki süreçte Sünnî dünyanın tarihî ve zihnî derinliğini temsil eden Türkiye ile Şia'nın temsilcisi İran kafa kafaya getirilmeye, büyük bir çatışmanın eşiğine sürüklenmeye çalışılıyor. Bu süreçte, bu müstakbel çatışma senaryosunda Batılılar Şia'yı destekliyorlar, Türkiye'ye ölümcül bir darbe vurmak istiyorlar. Filistin'de yaşananlarla bunun provası yapılmak isteniyor. Türkiye alana çekilerek, tuzağa düşürülmek ve daha doğmadan boğulmak isteniyor. Türkiye, hem tarihî hem zihnî hem de kültürel bakımlardan Sünni dünyanın tabiî temsilcisidir. Yaşananlar, Türkiye'nin bu rolünü hakkıyla üstlenmesine yol açacak Türkiye'nin Sünnî dünyanın temsilcisi olması, Şiî-Sünnî çatışması tezgahına gelmesi anlamına gelir mi?

Turkey: a Past and a Future
Dans la préface de l'Histoire, œuvre du grand historien anglais des civilisations Arnold Toynbee, Raymond Aron affirmait : « L'aventure suprême de l'Occident, c'est l'aventure de la science. » De fait, aucune civilisation n'a dans l'histoire autant poussé les sciences à un tel niveau de développement en leur consacrant une telle importance. Pendant longtemps, l'Occident a surtout compté sur le savoir des Anciens et bénéficié des échanges et des transferts avec l'Orient. Le papier et la poudre nous vinrent ainsi de Chine par le biais du monde islamique. Quant à l'astronomie occidentale, elle s'est longtemps bornée aux travaux et aux connaissances des Grecs. Et pourtant, l'Occident, avec le temps, est devenu un phare scientifique incontestable, berceau et épicentre des sciences modernes.

“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” Arnold Toynbee, Study of History “The tyranny of majorities may be as bad as the tyranny of kings.” Economist Arthur Balfour How To Insulate Yourself From The Orwellian Era with Doug Casey The nature of the US has been transformed. Many Americans have come to see the government as a cornucopia that can kiss everything and make it better. Millions in the US also believe that their beliefs should be forcefully pushed upon the masses. What kind of society will come from this change in beliefs? How can you attain maximum freedom in a world where so many willingly plead for their own enslavement? Best-selling author, world-renowned speculator, and brilliant libertarian philosopher Doug Casey returns to the Outer Limits of Inner Truth for the fifth time. Casey offers his latest worldview perspectives and shares a lot of great ideas on how to insulate yourself from the Orwellian Era. Doug Casey has garnered a well-earned reputation for his erudite (and often controversial) insights into politics, economics, and investment markets. Doug is widely respected as one of the preeminent authorities on “rational speculation,” especially in the high-potential natural resource sector. Doug wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil: his book Crisis Investing spent weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and became the best-selling financial book of 1980 with 438,640 copies sold; surpassing big-caliber names, like Free to Choose by Milton Friedman, The Real War by Richard Nixon, and Cosmos by Carl Sagan. He has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and TV shows, including David Letterman, Merv Griffin, Charlie Rose, Phil Donahue, Regis Philbin, Maury Povich, NBC News, and CNN; has been the topic of numerous features in periodicals such as Time, Forbes, People, and the Washington Post; and is a regular keynote speaker at FreedomFest, the world's largest gathering of free minds. Doug has lived in 10 countries and visited over 175. He currently spends most of his time in Argentina and Uruguay, and traveling to various dysfunctional hellholes. Today you're most likely to find him at La Estancia de Cafayate, an oasis tucked away in the high red mountains outside Salta, Argentina. Cafayate most resembles the isolating beauty of Bryce Canyon, Utah combined with the lush vineyards of Napa Valley. Residents enjoy economic and social freedoms not found in the US and some of the best wine and golf on the planet. Website Link:
SD164 - O castigo para quem não se interessa pela política. Começando este episódio com a citação do economista britânico Arnold Toynbee, hoje a conversa é com a autora da Lei da Telemedicina no Brasil, Deputada Federal Adriana Ventura. Vamos falar sobre política, porquê devemos nos interessar pelo assunto, principalmente em ano de eleição de formação do Congresso Nacional, como funciona o sistema, corrupção e, claro, sobre a lei 13989, que aprovou a Telemedicina no Brasil durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A citação: "O maior castigo para aqueles que não se interessam por política, é que serão governados pelos que se interessam". (Arnold Toynbee,1852-1883) Neste episódio, o que você vai encontrar: O background da Adriana Administradora pública. Professora da FGV, empreendedora, sem histórico de interesse pela política. Em 2017/2018, começou a ajudar a organizar o Partido Novo em SP e cedeu uma sala sala para as reuniões em seu espaço Multicultural. Tornou-se candidata em 2018 para completar a cota de candidatas mulheres para o partido não perder candidados e foi a 2ª mais votada. Seu espírito empreendedor fez com que ela se tornasse a autora da Lei 13989, que aprovou a prática da telemedicina no Brasil durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Serendipidade "Empreendedor é obstinado, resiliente, faz acontecer". O que seria uma candidatura para ajudar outros a se elegerem, depois de um tempo, tornou-se também um trabalho intenso para promover a própria eleição. Como se elege um deputado(a) Uma cadeira de deputado em SP requer 300.000 votos. Para eleger: somam-se todos os votos de todos os candidatos do partido + todos os votos na legenda e apura-se quantas cadeiras foram conquistadas. Ocupam as cadeiras os 3 mais votados. Uma trava importante: só ocupa a cadeira o(a) deputado(a) que tiver conquistado para si pelo menos 10% do total de votos do total da cadeira. + Uma trava A Mini Reforma Política de 2021 fez com que o(a) candidato(a), para concorrer pelas "sobras de votos", tenha recebido para si próprio pelo menos 20% do total de votos da cadeira. A luta pela Telemedicina O partido considera que, dentro do que seria uma política pública para o país, a saúde está no eixo central entre as 5 áreas principais. Adriana assumiu a causa e negociou com todos os participantes da comissão da saúde para propôs o avanço da pauta sobre telemedicina. Ela considera que foi um trabalho coletivo, mas, claro, sente orgulho de ver a lei aprovada. Empreendendo na política: um paralelo Ouvir o "cliente": um exemplo foi o pedido do cidadão Maurício para que se evitasse fraudes na liberação de verbas durante a pandemia de Covid-19. A deputada propôs e aprovou o projeto de lei 1485/2020 para dobrar as penas por corrupção em tempos de calamidade pública. Os processos ordenados e organizados: nem toda lei vai a plenário, fica nas comissões e é aprovada por ali. A produção de leis é imensa e muitas leis não conversam entre si e até se contradizem. Os deputados participam normalmente de 2 comissões e nem ficam sabendo da maioria das leis que foram aprovadas. Scrum Master: os Presidentes da Câmara e do Senado têm poder de decidir o que vai ou não vai a plenário para ser votado, qual a pauta, quem será relator. E isso faz com que algumas pautas fiquem anos sem receber qualquer atenção. Previsibilidade: os deputados não sabem o que vai ser votado, então não podem estudar o projeto com antecedência. Às vezes está na pauta, mas não há relatório. Cultura organizacional: muitas coisas acontecem ao mesmo tempo e não há clareza de intenção, o que faz com que o ambiente não seja de confiança. Não há clareza nas regras e nem transparência. Acompanhar o seu parlamentar O cidadão deve acompanhar o seu parlamentar: "O preço da liberdade é a eterna vigilância."

Gelin de bazı görüşlerine katılmasam da millî bağımsızlık meselesinde yüzde 100 mutabık olduğum, kültür ve değerlerini önemsediğim Marmara Üniversitesi'nin kıymetli hocası Prof. Dr. Barış Doster'e katılmayın... Fırsatını buldukça ne diyor Hoca: “Benim siyasi araştırma yapan şirketlerle pek aram yoktur. Bulgularına itibar etmem...” Öte yandan bilindiği gibi Peter Drucker'ın ünlü sözüdür; “Ölçmüyorsan yönetemezsin”... Tabii şu aforizma var; British Telecom'un esfanevi CEO'su Sir Iain Vallance'a atfen sıkça kullanılır: “Ölçmüyorsan yapma.” Özellikle manipülasyonun çok 'ciddi ve ölümcül' sonuçlar verebileceği hizmet ve ürün iletişimine yönelik pazarlama faaliyetlerinin yönetim ve kararlarında; 'hedef kitlenin' ihtiyaç, talep, eğilim ve tutumlarını aşağı yukarı tespit eden araştırmalara başvurmadan yol almaya çalışmak, bulanık suda el yordamıyla balık avlamaya benzer... Bu alanlarda yapılan araştırmalarda aşağıdaki tablodaki gibi farklılıklar ortaya çıkmaz... Çünkü insanlar kendi kendilerini kandıramazlar... Oysa siyasi iletişim araştırmalarında işin suyu çıkmış vaziyette... Çünkü bilimsel, dolayısıyla da nesnel olması gereken bu araştırmalar bir iletişim aracı hâline getirilip her türlü manipülâsyon mubahmış gibi davranılabiliyor... Sonuçta bu alandaki bazı şirketlerin itibarı yerle bir oluyor... Siyasi araştırma yapmayı Hoca'nın tabiriyle “usulden ve esastan” reddeden bazı araştırma şirketlerinin siyasi anketlerden kaçınmalarının nedeni de bu zaten... Çeşitli haber platformlarında ve dünkü Sözcü gazetesinde yayınlanan bu tabloya KONDA Araştırma ve Danışmanlık'ın Haziran ayında yayınladığı anket sonuçlarını da ekleyebiliriz. Şirket, partilerin oy oranlarını şöyle açıklamıştı: AK Parti yüzde 28,7, CHP yüzde 24,7, İYİ Parti yüzde 21,7, MHP yüzde 7,5, HDP yüzde 12,2, Diğer yüzde 5,2. İngiliz tarihçi Arnold Toynbee'nin dediği gibi, nasıl ki “Türk, Türk'ün ne olacağı konusunda Batı'nın kendi zihninde yarattığı görüntüye bir türlü uymayarak Batılıyı hep şaşırtmış” ise AK Parti de muhalefeti seçim sonuçlarıyla ilgili tahminleri konusunda her zaman yanıltmıştır. Darısı 2023'e... Gözümüze takılanlar...
We are living in a fast-paced technological world where we are being served “information” at an extraordinary rate, at which we cannot possibly keep up with. Things have become so complex (complicated living) and there is a massive reduction in people's attention spans and an over-emphasis on trivial and unimportant things like your hair and wardrobe for example (try living like the billions of poor and underfed on the planet and see how important how you “look” is to them), resulting in the truly dumbing-down of the wider population (low thinking). This is utterly alienating people from each other and the world, leading to purposelessness, isolation, and deep unhappiness. The British historian, Arnold Toynbee, stated in an article back in 1972: "The cause of the world's malady is spiritual. We are suffering from having sold our souls to the pursuit of an objective which is both spiritually wrong and practically unobtainable. We have to reconsider our objective and change it. And until we do this, we shall not have peace, either amongst ourselves or within each of us." Adopting the motto of my spiritual teacher, “Simple Living and High Thinking”, would reverse this trend and actually solve many of our problems. The other talk I mentioned in this talk is “The FALSE Me - The REAL Me” which can be viewed here – https://anchor.fm/acharya-das/episodes/198-The-FALSE-Me---The-REAL-Me-e1gk17g
Arnold Toynbee, a historian and critic of Western civilization, will long be remembered. Toynbee, who died at the age of 86, was born on April 14, 1889 into a family of distinguished scholars and philanthropists. Although he was best known for his twelve-volume A Study of History, which was written over a 34-year period, Toynbee was still vocal about a wide range of topics from sex to religion to the spread of cities.
Welcome to February 23, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate strange things under foot and our favorite waste not want not bread. In the 1980s in Philadelphia, pedestrians who looked down at the sidewalk found some very strange art. At random points around town, someone had put tiles on the ground reading TOYNBEE IDEA IN MOVIE 2001 RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPITER. Identical tiles appeared in New York, Chicago, Boston, and other major cities. They're called Toynbee Tiles and no one has ever figured out who's doing it. Or even why. The message is likely a reference to the British philosopher Arnold Toynbee. He theorized that dead particles could be brought back to life. But who knows? The next time you find yourself walking in a big city, take a moment to notice what might be under your feet. On National Tile Day, you could just be part of this strange mystery. If you have ever turned overripe bananas into delicious banana bread then you already know the virtue of the saying, waste not want not. But before the 1930s most desserts made with bananas only used slices of the fruit in perfect condition. The Great Depression changed all of that. During a time when food was scarce, no one would dream of tossing out fruit, even if it was past its prime. The real hero was a newly discovered ingredient which did most of the heavy lifting: baking soda. By the 1930s, cookbooks made use of baking soda in all kinds of quick bread recipes and ripe bananas played a starring role! On National Banana Bread Day, bake up a tradition that's still good to the last crumb. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6784LE FROTTOLE DI ROMANO PRODI SULL'EUROPA di Antonio Socci"Le immagini raccontano l'Europa" è un libro di Romano Prodi in cui le foto illustrano la storia dal 1945 ad oggi."Repubblica" (9/11) anticipa il testo dell'ex presidente della Commissione europea. La sua narrazione ovviamente gronda retorica e confonde indebitamente la UE con l'Europa.Inoltre l'autore rivendica "le nostre radici" che "si fondano prima nel mondo greco-romano e, successivamente, nel cristianesimo". Secondo Prodi furono "queste nostre radici" a permettere "la nascita delle grandi università" che hanno prodotto "un primato intellettuale e scientifico" da cui "nello stesso tempo" è germogliata "un'identità che possiamo davvero chiamare europea".Viene da chiedersi perché si possa orgogliosamente rivendicare un'"identità europea", mentre sembra disdicevole parlare - per esempio - di identità italiana (è ritenuto "sovranismo").W LA PACEProdi torna poi a ripetere il ritornello propagandistico della UE: "solo l'unità politica poteva garantirci la pace permettendoci di conservare le nostre radici".Ma è così? Intanto la UE - che non comprende tutti gli stati e i popoli europei - nasce negli anni Novanta e ha come connotato proprio lo strappo da quelle radici cristiane esaltate da Prodi: fu evidente nella discussione sulla Costituzione europea e ancor più lo si vede nell'orientamento ideologico delle sue scelte, sempre "politically correct".Quanto al "primo obiettivo", cioè la pace, secondo Prodi "è stato pienamente raggiunto: da oltre 75 anni nessun conflitto armato ha insanguinato il suolo di alcuno fra i Paesi europei che cercavano fra di loro un accordo"."Da 75 anni" significa dal 1945-46. È inspiegabile come si possa ripetere per propaganda un argomento così infondato: è noto infatti che l'Unione Europea è nata con il Trattato di Maastricht del 1992.Ma soprattutto va detto che, dal 1945 fino al crollo del Muro di Berlino (1989), la "pace" in Europa fu dovuta a Yalta, alla "guerra fredda" ovvero all'equilibrio del terrore fra Usa e Urss.Nel 1957 fu firmato il Trattato di Roma che istituì, su spinta americana, la "Comunità economica europea" fra sei stati dell'Europa occidentale, per "la scelta statunitense" scrive Limes "di non evacuare la porzione di Europa controllata al termine della seconda guerra mondiale per impedire che venisse assoggettata da Mosca: Stalin è all'origine di Nato e Comunità europee (poi Ue) quanto Truman, con i ‘padri fondatori' europei in veste ancillare".IL RUOLO DELLA GERMANIALa pace mantenuta da Usa e Urss si fondava proprio sulla sottomissione la spartizione dell'Europa in due sfere d'influenza: in particolare sulla divisione in due della Germania che era stata all'origine della tragedia bellica mondiale.Crollata l'Urss cambia la scena geopolitica e la UE nasce nel 1992 proprio in seguito all'unificazione tedesca.Da allora però si ripropone l'allarme preventivo lanciato da Arnold Toynbee nel suo "Civilization on trial" del 1949: se "la Germania fosse inclusa in una Unione Europea" senza Usa e Urss "diverrebbe, a lungo andare, la padrona" e tale Unione sarebbe "sotto il predominio germanico". Un grave pericolo per gli europei, secondo Toynbee.Pure Benedetto Croce, c'informa Repubblica (10/11), scriveva su "Risorgimento liberale", addirittura nel 1944, un articolo in cui metteva in guardia dalla Germania che "in previsione della sconfitta militare" già "prepara la terza guerra mondiale".C'è stata questa guerra? Dicono i grandi strateghi che "l'eccellenza suprema" consiste nel vincere una guerra senza l'uso della forza militare.
The British historian, Arnold Toynbee, is currently out of fashion. The British poet and artist, William Blake, is not, though he is rarely well understood. So what might they have to say to our times?Toynbee strove to understand the inner as well as outer processes of history, developing a theory he called etherialisation. Blake appreciated the destructive power of the dark, Satanic mills, with their loss of divine imagination.Bring them together, and the two perspectives are remarkably illuminating in terms of both understanding and responding to now.0:32 Toynbee and the inner life of history1:52 Roman roads and the emergence of Christianity4:35 Dante as an example of the exile who renews6:28 The axial figures and civilisational change8:24 Today and the allure of technological fixes9:50 Beyond western Christianity and materialist philosophy12:27 The guidance of Dante and William Blake14:41 Golgonooza, Los and facing the Furnaces of affliction17:01 Destruction and the renewal of inner vision18:57 History, virtue and relating again to nature20:47 Mistakes and forgiveness: rebuilding inner wisdom

모든 사람에게 구원을 가져다주는 하나님의 은혜가 나타났기 때문입니다. 경건하지 아니하고 이 세상 정욕을 버리고 절제하고 의롭고 경건한 삶을 사는 이 시대를 살아가는 법을 가르쳐 줍니다.-디도서 2장 11-12절(NIV) 항상 자신을 위한 하나님의 말씀을 구하는 것을 기억하십시오. 우리는 사악한 종말에 살고 있습니까? 좋아요. 마귀는 영적 전쟁과 마찬가지로 실재합니다. 마귀는 타락한 천사입니다. 요한계시록 12장 9절은 “그가 땅으로 내어쫓기니 그의 사자들이 그와 함께 하였도다” “사탄이 하늘에서 떨어지는 일은 이사야서 14장 12-15절과 에스겔서 28장 12-15절에 상징적으로 묘사되어 있습니다. 요한계시록 12장 4절에 따르면 나는 천사의 삼분의 일을 얻었고 유다서 6장에는 죄를 지은 천사들도 언급되어 있기 때문에 성경에서 마귀는 사탄과 함께 하나님께 반역하기로 선택한 타락한 천사입니다. 나는 그가 길에서뿐만 아니라 어린이 스포츠 경기, 상점 내부에서, 심지어 더 빠르게, 항상 아무데도 가지 않기 위해 서두르는 것이 얼마나 사나우며 더럽고 사나우며 사납게 변했는지 우리 중 얼마나 많은 사람이 알아차렸는지 궁금합니다. 마스크 미착용으로 체포된 어린이들. 병원의 COVID 규칙을 위반하고 딸의 침대 옆에 앉히기를 거부한 플로리다의 한 노모가 감옥에 갇혔습니다. 아이를 침대 옆에 두시겠습니까? 휴거 옹호자들이 나와 다른 기독교인들의 믿음에 대한 확증 증거로 지적하는 성경의 몇 가지 핵심 영역이 있습니다. 그 자리에 두 사람이 있을 것이다. 하나는 가져가고 다른 하나는 놔두겠습니다. 두 명의 여성이 맷돌에서 갈 것이다. 하나는 취하고 하나는 버리리라.-마태복음 24:40-41 (NIV) 형제 자매 여러분, 죽음의 잠을 자고 있는 사람들을 무시하지 않기를 바랍니다. 그들이 나머지 절망적인 인류처럼 고통을 겪지 않도록 하십시오. 우리는 예수님께서 죽으시고 다시 살아나심을 믿으므로 하나님께서 자기 자는 자들도 데려오실 줄을 믿습니다. 우리가 주의 말씀대로 너희에게 이르노니 주의 강림하실 때까지 살고 남아 있는 자가 자는 자보다 결코 앞서지 못하느니라 그리스도 안에서 죽은 자들이 먼저 일어납니다. 그 후에 우리 중 살아 남아 있는 자들은 포로로 잡힐 것입니다. 그분은 우리가 함께 있게 하시려고 공중에서 주님을 영접하려고 그들과 함께 구름 속으로 올라갔습니다. 영원히 주님. 그러므로 이 말로 서로 격려하십시오.-살전 4:13-18 (NIV) 다니엘 7:13-14 13 내가 밤 이상 중에 인자 같은 이가 하늘 구름을 타고 옛적부터 항상 계신 자에게 나아오는 것을 보았더니 그들이 그를 끌고 앞으로 나아가니라. 14 또 그가 권세와 영광과 나라를 그에게 주셨으니 이는 모든 백성과 나라와 방언을 말하는 자로 그를 섬기게 하려 하심이라 그의 권세는 없어지지 아니할 것이요 그의 나라가 멸망하지 아니할 것이니라 사람들은 종종 미래에 대해 생각할 때 불안을 경험합니다. 그러나 그것은 필요하지 않습니다. 하나님을 아는 사람에게는 미래를 생각하는 것이 진지하고 위로가 됩니다. 예를 들어 잠언 31장 25절은 하나님을 알고 신뢰하는 여자에 대해 "미래를 보고 웃는다"고 말합니다. 미래에 대해 염두에 두어야 할 두 가지 핵심 아이디어는 다음과 같습니다. 첫째, 하나님은 주권자이시며 모든 것을 통제하십니다. 당신은 미래를 알고 앞으로 일어날 일을 절대적으로 통제할 수 있습니다. 성서에서는 이렇게 알려 줍니다. “나는 먼저 하나님이요 다른 이가 없음을 기억하십시오. 나는 하나님이라 나와 같은 이가 없느니라 처음부터 끝까지 이르되 내 뜻대로 하고 내 뜻대로 하리라 하지 아니한 일이 처음부터 없느니라 . . 정말 그냥 지나칠 거라고 말했어요. 나는 그것을 계획했고 그것을 수행해야합니다”(이사야 46:9-11, 강조 추가). 미래에 대해 두 번째로 기억해야 할 점은 성경이 "마지막 때" 또는 "마지막 날"에 일어날 일을 묘사하고 있다는 것입니다. 성경은 인류에 대한 하나님의 계시이고 하나님은 미래를 아시고 주관하시기 때문에(앞서 이사야가 말한 것처럼), 성경이 미래에 일어날 일에 대해 말할 때 우리가 그것을 믿을 수 있다는 것은 이치에 맞습니다. 미래에 대해 성경은 이렇게 말합니다. "예언은 사람의 뜻으로 낸 것이 아니요 오직 성령의 감동하심을 받은 사람들이 하나님께 받아 말한 것임이니라"(벧후 1:21). 다른 종교나 노스트라다무스 같은 개인이 하는 거짓 예언과 달리 성경은 결코 틀리지 않습니다. 종말을 이해하고 생존하는 방법을 고려할 때 다음 세 가지 질문에 답하십시오. 성경이 말하는 미래(성경의 예언)를 어떻게 해석해야 할까요? 성경은 말세에 무슨 일이 일어날 것이라고 말합니까? 성경의 말씀은 미래에 대한 오늘날 우리의 삶에 어떤 영향을 미칩니까? 성경의 예언을 해석하는 방법 끝 시간 구절을 해석할 때 어떤 방법을 사용해야 하는지에 대해서는 여러 가지 견해가 있습니다. 다른 믿음을 지지하는 선한 사람들도 있지만 성경의 예언은 (1) 문자 그대로, (2) 미래적 관점에서, (3) 어떤 식으로든 해석되어야 한다고 믿을 만한 이유가 있습니다."전천년"이라고 합니다. 문자적 해석을 부추기는 것은 그리스도의 초림에 관한 예언이 300개가 넘고 모두 문자 그대로 성취되었다는 사실입니다. 메시아의 탄생, 삶, 배반, 죽음, 부활에 대한 예언은 비유적으로나 영적으로 성취되지 않았습니다. 예수님은 말 그대로 베들레헴에서 태어나 기적을 행하시고 친한 친구에게 은 삼십에 배반당하시고 손발에 찔림을 받으시고 도적들에게 죽임을 당하시고 한 부자의 무덤에 장사되신 후 사흘 만에 부활하셨습니다. 그의 죽음.. . 이 모든 세부 사항은 예수께서 태어나시기 수백 년 전에 예언되었으며 문자 그대로 성취되었습니다. 그리고 다양한 예언에 사용되는 상징(예: 용, 기병 등)이 있지만, 모두 예수가 사자와 어린양으로 언급된 것과 같은 방식으로 문자적인 존재 또는 사건을 나타냅니다. 미래적 관점에서 성경은 다니엘, 요한계시록과 같은 예언서에는 역사적 사건의 기록뿐 아니라 미래의 사건에 대한 예언도 포함되어 있음을 분명히 밝히고 있습니다. 그 시대의 교회들을 위한 기별을 받은 후 요한은 말세에 일어날 일에 대한 이상을 받았습니다. 요한은 "이리로 올라오라 이 후에 어떻게 될 것을 내가 네게 보이리라"(계 4:1; 아마도 미래의 비전에 대한 더 강력한 논거는 이스라엘 땅에 관한 하나님의 아브라함의 약속과 관련이 있을 것입니다(참조, 창세기 12장과 15장). 하나님이 아브라함과 맺은 언약은 무조건적이었고, 아브라함의 후손들에게는 아직 그 약속이 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 이스라엘에 대한 약속에 대한 미래적 관점은 유효하다. 마지막으로 “전천년” 방식의 예언 해석과 관련하여 이것은 먼저 교회가 휴거되고, 그 다음 세상이 7년 환난기를 겪고, 그 후에 예수 그리스도께서 땅을 다스리기 위해 다시 오실 것임을 의미합니다. . 문자 그대로 1,000년 동안(요한계시록 20장). 그러나 성경은 그 전에 무슨 일이 있을 것이라고 말씀합니까? 성경은 마지막 날에 무슨 일이 일어날 것이라고 말합니까? 슬프게도, 성경은 그리스도의 재림 전에 재앙, 인간의 죄, 종교적 배도가 악순환에 빠질 것이라고 예언합니다. 바울은 “그러나 너희가 이것을 알라 말일에 어려운 때가 이르리니. . ... 악인과 속이는 자들은 점점 악하여져서 속이고 속임을 당하느니라”(딤후 3:1, 13). 세상은 계속해서 하나님과 그분의 말씀과 그분의 백성을 거부할 것입니다. 아무도 모르는 미래의 어느 날, 하나님께서는 1세기 오순절(참조, 행 2장)에 시작된 교회시대를 휴거라는 사건으로 끝내실 것입니다. 그때 하나님은 최후의 심판을 준비하기 위해 이 땅에서 그리스도를 믿는 모든 신자들을 제거하실 것입니다. 휴거와 관련하여 바울은 이렇게 말합니다. 이를 위하여 우리가 주의 말씀으로 너희에게 이르노니 주의 강림하실 때까지 우리 살아 남은 자도 잠자는 자보다 앞서지 못하였으리라 환호와 천사장의 소리와 하나님의 나팔로 친히 주께서 친히 하늘로 좇아 강림하시리니 주께서 공중에 계시니 우리가 항상 주와 함께 있으리라. 그러므로 이 말로 서로 위로하십시오”(살전 4:14-18). 휴거 이전의 평화의 침식과 혼돈의 증가는 수많은 사람들이 지구에서 사라질 때 놀라운 규모가 될 것입니다. 그러한 사건은 공황을 야기할 것이며 세상의 모든 문제에 대한 답을 줄 강력한 지도자가 필요합니다. 역사가 Arnold Toynbee가 언급했듯이, 이 지도자를 위한 준비는 얼마 동안 진행되었습니다. 세계에 통일과 평화를 가져올 수 있는 새로운 카이사르의 신격화를 위해 무르익은 고통의 정도입니다.” 부활한 로마제국(참조, 다니엘 7:24; 계 13:1)에서 유럽의 10개 지역으로 조직된 적그리스도가 일어나 이스라엘 민족과 언약을 맺을 것이다. 그리스도의 재림에 대한 하나님의 예언적 7년 카운트다운(참조 다니엘 9:27). 삼년 반 동안 적그리스도가 땅을 다스리며 평화를 약속할 것이나 사람들을 포로로 잡아 땅에서는 거짓 평화를 주리라. 성경은 “저희가 평안하다, 안전하다 할 그 때에 잉태한 여자에게 해산 고통과 같은 멸망이 홀연히 저희에게 이르리니 결단코 피하지 못하리라”(살전 5:3)고 말씀합니다. 전쟁, 지진, 기근은 적그리스도의 3.5년 통치가 끝날 때까지 심화될 것입니다[sPause sec = 2.8 ePause] (참조. 마태복음 24:7). 예배(데살로니가후서 2:4; 마태복음 24:15 참조). 그때 참 하나님이 도전에 응답하십니다. 앞으로 3.5년 후에는 전에 보지 못한 큰 환난이 있을 것입니다. 예수께서는 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다. “그 때에 큰 환난이 있을 것입니다. 그것은 세상 창조로부터 지금까지 없었고 다시는 일어나지 않을 것입니다. 그 날들이 단축되지 않았다면 어떤 생명도 구하지 못했을 것입니다. 택하신 자들을 위하여 그 날을 단축하시리라”(마태복음 24:21-22). 큰 환난 중에 형언할 수 없는 생명의 손실과 땅의 멸망이 있을 것입니다. 더욱이 많은 사람들이 그리스도를 믿게 되겠지만 많은 사람들이 그렇게 하기 위해 목숨을 잃을 것입니다. 하나님은 심판을 위해 세상의 불신자들의 군대를 모으실 때 여전히 통치하실 것입니다. 이 사건과 관련하여 예언자 요엘은 이렇게 썼습니다. “내가 모든 나라를 모아 여호사밧 골짜기로 내려가게 하겠다. 그리하면 내가 거기서 내 백성을 위하여 그들과 함께 심판하리라”(욜 3:2). 요한은 전쟁을 이렇게 기록합니다. “또 내가 보니 개구리 같은 세 더러운 영이 용[사탄]의 입과 짐승[적그리스도]의 입과 거짓 선지자의 입에서 나오더라. 그들은 마귀요, 표징이요, 천하 만왕에게 가서 전능하신 하나님의 큰 날의 전쟁을 위하여 모으는 자들이니라. . . 그들은 히브리어로 하르마겟돈이라는 곳에서 만났다”(요한계시록 16:13-16). 이때 메시아 예수는 원수들을 멸하고 그에게 속한 세상을 주장하기 위해 다시 오실 것입니다. “또 내가 하늘이 열린 것을 보니 보라 백마와 탄 자가 있으니 그 이름은 신실하고 진실하니 그들은 공의로 심판하고 싸웠더라. 그의 눈은 불꽃이고 그의 머리에는 많은 면류관이 있습니다. 그리고 그 위에는 자기 외에는 아무도 모르는 이름이 기록되어 있습니다. 그는 피로 흠뻑 젖은 옷을 입고 있으며 그의 이름은 하나님의 말씀입니다. 하늘의 군대들이 흰 옷과 깨끗한 세마포 옷을 입고 흰 말을 타고 그분을 따랐습니다. 그의 입에서 예리한 칼이 나오나니 그가 그로 만국을 치며 철장으로 그들을 다스리며 전능하신 하나님의 진노의 포도주 틀을 밟으리라. 그의 옷과 넓적다리에 이름 쓴 것이 있으니 그 이름은 만왕의 왕이요 만주의 주라 하였더라 내가 보니 천사가 해 아래 서서 모든 새들에게 큰 음성으로 공중에 날아가서 가로되 너희는 하나님의 큰 만찬 곧 왕들의 음식을 모으고 군사령관들의 음식을 먹으라 용사의 고기와 말과 그 탄 자들, 그리고 모든 사람의 육체는 자유인이나 종이나 작은 자나 좋은 자나 ' 그리고 나는 그 짐승과 땅의 왕들과 그들의 군대가 기마와 그의 군대와 싸우려고 모인 것을 보았다. 그 짐승이 죽임을 당하고 그 앞에서 표적을 행하던 거짓 선지자도 짐승의 표를 받은 자들과 그의 우상에게 경배하는 자들을 미혹하여 이 둘이 산 채로 유황불 못에 던지우더라. 그리고 그 나머지는 말 탄 자의 입에서 나오는 칼에 죽임을 당하고 모든 새는 고기로 배부르더라”(계 19:11-21). 그리스도께서 아마겟돈 골짜기에 모인 모든 군대를 멸하신 후에 천 년 동안 그의 성도들과 함께 다스리시며 이스라엘을 그들의 땅으로 회복시키실 것입니다. 천년왕국이 끝날 때 열방과 남아 있는 모든 인류에 대한 최후의 심판이 있을 것이며 그 후에 영원한 상태가 올 것입니다. 즉, 하나님과 함께 또는 그분과 분리되어 있습니다(참조, 요한계시록 20-21장). 위의 사건들은 추측이나 가능성이 아니며, 미래에 일어날 것입니다. 그리스도의 초림에 관한 성경의 모든 예언이 이루어진 것처럼 그의 재림에 관한 성경의 모든 예언도 성취될 것입니다. 이 예언의 정확성을 고려할 때, 그것들은 지금 우리에게 어떤 영향을 미쳐야 합니까? 베드로가 묻습니다. "이 모든 것이 이와 같이 하여 폐하되 너희가 어떤 사람이 되어야 하며 거룩함과 경건함으로 하나님의 날이 임함을 바라보며 급히 하늘의 멸망을 바라느냐 불이요 체질이 타오르는 불에 녹으리로다”(벧후 3:11-12). 성서 예언이 오늘날 우리에게 미치는 영향 성경의 예언에 대한 네 가지 반응이 있습니다. 첫째는 순종입니다. 이것은 베드로가 앞 절에서 말한 모자입니다. 예수님은 언제라도 일어날 수 있는 그의 오심을 준비하고(참조, 마가복음 13:33-37) 우리의 행동을 부끄러워하지 않는 방식으로 살라고 끊임없이 우리에게 말씀하십니다. 두 번째 응답은 예배입니다. 하나님은 말세에 심판을 피할 수 있는 길을 마련해 주셨습니다. 즉, 예수님을 통하여 주시는 구원의 선물입니다. 우리는 그의 구원을 받고 그 앞에서 감사하는 삶을 살아야 하며, 땅에서 드리는 예배가 언젠가는 하늘에서 드리는 예배가 될 것입니다. 죽임을 당하고 주의 피로 하나님을 위하여 각 족속 중에서 사람을 사셨도다한 민족과 민족”(계 5:9). 세 번째 대답은 선포입니다. 하나님의 구원의 기별과 재림의 진리는 모든 사람이 들을 수 있도록 선포되어야 하며, 특히 아직 믿지 않는 사람들에게는 더욱 그러합니다. 우리는 모든 사람에게 하나님께로 돌아갈 기회를 주어야 하고 장차 임할 진노에서 구원을 받아야 합니다. 요한계시록 22장 10절에 “또 내게 이르시되 이 책에 있는 대언의 말씀을 인봉하지 말라 때가 가까우니라 하시니라”고 했습니다. 하나님의 예언의 말씀에 대한 마지막 대답은 섬김입니다. 모든 신자는 하나님의 뜻을 행하고 선행을 하도록 힘써야 합니다. 그리스도의 심판의 일부는 신자들이 한 일과 관련이 있습니다. 그것들은 그리스도인의 천국 진입을 결정하는 것이 아니라, 각 신자가 그들에게 주신 하나님의 선물로 무엇을 했는지 보여줍니다. 바울은 이 심판에 대해 다음과 같이 말합니다. "우리가 다 반드시 그리스도의 심판대 앞에 드러나 각각 선악 간에 그 몸으로 행한 대로 상을 받으려 함이라"(고후 5:5). 10). 요컨대, 하나님은 세상의 모든 사건과 사람들에 대한 주권자이십니다. 그는 모든 것을 단단히 통제하고 그가 시작한 모든 것을 완벽하게 끝낼 것입니다. 오래된 기독교 노래는 다음과 같이 말합니다. 성취된 예언은 성경이 초자연적인 책이라는 증거입니다. 이미 수백 개의 구약 예언이 성취되었으며, 말세 예언도 이루어질 것이라고 보는 것이 합리적입니다. 예수님을 알고 구세주로 믿는 사람들에게는 그분의 재림이 그들의 복된 소망이 될 것입니다(참조, 디도서 2:13). 그러나 그리스도를 거부하는 자들에게는 그분이 그들의 거룩한 공포가 되실 것입니다(참조 데살로니가후서 1:8). 결론은 다음과 같다. 마지막 시대에서 살아남으려면 그리스도를 믿는 사람인지 확인하십시오. "하나님이 우리를 세우심은 진노하심이 아니요 오직 우리 주 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 구원을 얻게 하심이라"(살전 5:9).
Es porque se ha revelado la gracia de Dios que trae salvación a todas las personas. Nos enseña cómo vivir en esta era de rechazar la impiedad y los deseos mundanos, y vivir una vida templada, recta y piadosa. — Tito 2: 11-12 (NVI) Recuerde siempre buscar la Palabra de Dios por sí mismo. ¿Estamos viviendo en un apocalipsis maligno? Eso es correcto. Los demonios son reales, al igual que la guerra espiritual. El diablo es un ángel caído. Apocalipsis 12: 9 dice: Fue arrojado a la tierra, y sus ángeles estaban con él ". La caída de Satanás del cielo se describe simbólicamente en Isaías 14: 12-15 y Ezequiel 28: 12-15. Cuando cayó, Satanás se llevó consigo un tercio de los ángeles según Apocalipsis 12: 4. Judas 6 también menciona a los ángeles que pecaron. Entonces, bíblicamente, el diablo es un ángel caído que, junto con Satanás, elige rebelarse contra Dios. Me pregunto cuántos de nosotros hemos notado lo rudo, sucio, rudo y vicioso que se ha vuelto no solo en la carretera, sino también en los eventos deportivos infantiles, dentro de las tiendas e incluso más rápido, siempre con prisa por no llegar a ninguna parte. Niños detenidos por no llevar máscaras. Una madre anciana en Florida que violó las reglas de COVID del hospital y se negó a ponerla al lado de la cama de su hija ha sido encarcelada. ¿Le gustaría poner a su hijo junto a la cama? Hay varias áreas clave de la Biblia que los defensores del rapto señalan como evidencia que corrobora mis creencias y las de otros cristianos. Habrá dos personas en el lugar. Tomaré uno y dejaré el otro. Dos mujeres molerán en el molino. Tomaré uno y dejaré el otro.-Mateo 24: 40-41 (NVI) Hermanos y hermanas, no queremos que ignoren a los que duermen en la muerte, no sea que sufran como el resto de la raza humana desesperada. Dado que creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, creemos que Dios también traerá a los que duermen en él. De acuerdo con la palabra del Señor, les decimos que nosotros, los que vivimos y permanecemos hasta la venida del Señor, de ninguna manera precedemos a los que duermen. Los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero. Después de eso, los que estemos vivos y quedamos seremos capturados. Subió con ellos en las nubes para encontrarse con el Señor en el aire, para que estaremos juntos. Señor por siempre. Así que anímense unos a otros con estas palabras.-1 Tesalonicenses 4: 13-18 (NVI) Daniel 7: 13-14 13 En la visión nocturna vi a uno como el Hijo del Hombre que se acercaba con las nubes del cielo al Anciano de Días, y lo llevaron adelante. 14 Y le dio poder y gloria y un reino, para que todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas le sirvieran, y su dominio es un dominio eterno que no pasará, y su reino no perecerá. A menudo, las personas experimentan ansiedad al pensar en el futuro. Pero no es necesario. Para quienes conocen a Dios, pensar en el futuro es serio y reconfortante. Por ejemplo, Proverbios 31:25 describe a una mujer que conoce y confía en Dios, diciendo: "Ella ve el futuro y se ríe". Dos ideas clave a tener en cuenta sobre el futuro son: Primero, Dios es soberano y tiene el control de todo. Conoce el futuro y tiene un control absoluto sobre lo que sucederá. La Biblia dice: “Acuérdate de lo primero, yo soy Dios y no hay otro. Yo soy Dios, y no hay nadie como yo, desde el principio hasta el fin, desde el principio de las cosas que no se han hecho, diciendo: "Haré mi voluntad y haré todo lo que me plazca". . . De verdad dije Verdaderamente lo pasaré. Lo he planeado y es necesario que se haga ”(Isaías 46: 9-11, énfasis agregado). Lo segundo que hay que recordar sobre el futuro es que la Biblia describe lo que sucederá en "el tiempo del fin" o "los últimos días". Porque la Biblia es la revelación de Dios a la humanidad y Dios conoce y controla el futuro (como dijo Isaías anteriormente)), tiene sentido que podamos creerlo cuando la Biblia habla de cosas que sucederán en el futuro. Con respecto al futuro, la Biblia dice: “Ninguna profecía fue traída por voluntad humana, sino hombres inspirados por el Espíritu Santo hablaron de parte de Dios” (2 Pedro 1:21). , a diferencia de las falsas profecías hechas por otras religiones o individuos como Nostradamus, la Biblia nunca se equivoca. Mientras considera cómo comprender y sobrevivir al fin de los tiempos, responda estas tres preguntas: ¿Cómo debemos interpretar el futuro (profecía de la Biblia) del que habla la Biblia? ¿Qué dice la Biblia que sucederá en los últimos días? ¿Cómo afectan nuestras vidas hoy las palabras de la Biblia sobre el futuro? Cómo interpretar la profecía bíblica Hay muchos puntos de vista diferentes sobre qué método utilizar al interpretar un pasaje sobre el fin de los tiempos. Hay buenas personas que apoyan otras creencias, pero hay razones para creer que las profecías bíblicas deben interpretarse (1) literalmente, (2) desde una perspectiva futurista y (3) de una manera denominada “premilenial”. Lo que anima a una interpretación literal es el hecho de que hay más de 300 profecías sobre la primera venida de Cristo, todas las cuales se han cumplido literalmente. Las profecías del nacimiento, la vida, la traición, la muerte y la resurrección del Mesías no se cumplieron ni figurativa ni espiritualmente. Jesús nació literalmente en Belén, realizó milagros, un amigo cercano lo traicionó por treinta piezas de plata, le traspasaron las manos y los pies, lo mataron los ladrones, lo enterraron en la tumba de un hombre rico y resucitó tres días después de su muerte. . Todos estos detalles fueron profetizados cientos de años antes de que Jesús naciera y se cumplieron literalmente. Y si bien hay símbolos que se usan en varias profecías (por ejemplo, dragones, jinetes, etc.), todos representan seres o eventos literales de la misma manera en que se hace referencia a Jesús como un león y un cordero. Con respecto a la perspectiva futurista, la Biblia establece claramente que los libros proféticos como Daniel y Apocalipsis contienen no solo registros de eventos históricos, sino también profecías de eventos futuros. Después de recibir el mensaje para las iglesias de su época, Juan recibió una visión de lo que sucedería en los últimos días. Juan dijo: “Sube acá, y te mostraré lo que sucederá después de esto” (Apocalipsis 4: 1; Quizás un argumento más fuerte para la visión futurista tiene que ver con las promesas de Dios a Abraham con respecto a la tierra de Israel (cf. Génesis 12 y 15). Dado que el pacto de Dios con Abraham era incondicional y sus promesas aún no se habían cumplido a los descendientes de Abraham, una visión futurista de la promesa a Israel es válida. Finalmente, con respecto a la interpretación de la profecía de una manera “pre-milenial”, esto significa que primero la iglesia será arrebatada, luego el mundo pasará por un período de tribulación de siete años, después del cual Jesucristo regresará para gobernar la tierra. Por literalmente 1,000 años (Apocalipsis 20). Pero, ¿qué dice la Biblia que sucederá antes de eso? ¿Qué dice la Biblia que sucederá en los últimos días? Lamentablemente, la Biblia predice una espiral descendente de calamidades, pecados humanos y apostasía religiosa antes de la segunda venida de Cristo. Pablo dijo: “Pero debes saber esto, que vendrán tiempos difíciles en los últimos días. . .. Los impíos y los engañadores se volverán cada vez más malos, engañando y siendo engañados ”(2 Timoteo 3: 1, 13). El mundo seguirá rechazando a Dios, Su Palabra y Su pueblo. Un día en el futuro, un día que nadie sabe, Dios terminará la era de la iglesia que comenzó en el Pentecostés del primer siglo (cf. Hechos 2) con un evento conocido como el Rapto. En ese momento, Dios sacará a todos los creyentes en Cristo de esta tierra en preparación para el juicio final. Con respecto al rapto, Pablo dice: "Si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también traerá Dios con él a los que durmieron en Jesús". Con este fin, os decimos por palabra del Señor, que nosotros los que estemos vivos y que permanezcamos hasta la venida del Señor no habremos precedido a los que durmieron. El Señor mismo descenderá del cielo con aclamación, con el voz del arcángel y con la trompeta de Dios“Los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero, y luego nosotros, los que estemos vivos y quedamos, seremos arrebatados junto con ellos en las nubes para encontrarnos con el Señor en el aire, y así estaremos siempre con el Señor. Por tanto, consolaos unos a otros con estas palabras ”(1 Tesalonicenses 4: 14-18). La erosión de la paz y el aumento del caos antes del Rapto serán en una escala asombrosa cuando innumerables personas desaparezcan de la Tierra. Tales eventos causarán pánico y requerirán un líder fuerte que le dé respuestas a todos los problemas del mundo. Como señaló el historiador Arnold Toynbee, los preparativos para este líder se han estado realizando durante algún tiempo. Es el grado de sufrimiento que está maduro para la deificación de un nuevo César que pueda lograr traer unidad y paz al mundo ”. Desde el Imperio Romano resucitado (cf. Daniel 7:24; Apocalipsis 13: 1), organizado en forma de diez distritos en Europa, el Anticristo se levantará y hará un pacto con la nación de Israel. La cuenta regresiva profética de siete años de Dios hasta la segunda venida de Cristo (véase Daniel 9:27). Durante tres años y medio el Anticristo gobernará la tierra y prometerá paz, pero llevará cautiva a la gente, una falsa paz en la tierra. La Biblia dice: "Cuando digan: Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción repentina, como dolores de parto a una mujer encinta, y no escaparán" (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 3). Las guerras, los terremotos y las hambrunas se intensificarán hasta el final del reinado de 3.5 años del Anticristo [sPause sec = 2.8 ePause] (cf. Mateo 24: 7). Adoración (véase 2 Tesalonicenses 2: 4; Mateo 24:15). Ahí es cuando el Dios verdadero responde al desafío. En los próximos 3,5 años, habrá una gran tribulación nunca antes vista. Jesús dijo: “En ese momento habrá una gran tribulación, que no ha existido desde la creación del mundo hasta ahora, y nunca volverá a suceder. Si esos días no se hubieran acortado, no se habría salvado ninguna vida. Acortará el día por amor de los escogidos ”(Mateo 24: 21-22). Durante la gran tribulación habrá una pérdida indecible de vidas y la destrucción de la tierra. Además, muchos llegarán a creer en Cristo, pero muchos perderán la vida por hacerlo. Dios todavía reinará cuando reúna al ejército de incrédulos del mundo para el juicio. Respecto a este evento, el profeta Joel escribió: “Reuniré a todas las naciones y las haré descender al valle de Josafat. Entonces juzgaré allí con ellos por mi pueblo ”(Joel 3: 2). Juan registra la batalla de esta manera: “Y vi tres espíritus inmundos como ranas que salían de la boca del dragón [Satanás], y de la boca de la bestia [anticristo], y de la boca del falso profeta. Son espíritus de demonios, hacedores de señales, que van a los reyes de toda la tierra y los reúnen para la batalla del gran día del Dios Todopoderoso. . . Se reunieron en un lugar llamado Harmageddon en hebreo ”(Apocalipsis 16: 13-16). En este momento, el Mesías Jesús vendrá nuevamente para destruir a los enemigos y reclamar el mundo que le pertenece. “Y vi el cielo abierto, y he aquí un caballo blanco y un jinete, cuyo nombre era Fiel y Verdadero, que juzgaba y peleaba con justicia. Sus ojos son llamas y su cabeza tiene muchas coronas. Y hay un nombre escrito en él, que nadie conoce más que él mismo. Viste una túnica empapada en sangre y su nombre es la Palabra de Dios. Y los ejércitos del cielo lo seguían, vestidos con ropas blancas y de lino limpio y montados en caballos blancos. De su boca sale una espada aguda, con la cual herirá a las naciones, y las regirá con vara de hierro, y pisará el lagar del vino del furor de la ira del Dios Todopoderoso. Había un nombre escrito en su túnica y en su muslo, que decía: "Rey de reyes y Señor de señores". Vi un ángel de pie bajo el sol y en voz alta dijo a todas las aves, voló por los aires: Venid, reunid para la gran cena de Dios, la carne de los reyes y comed la carne de los comandantes, la carne de los valientes, y los caballos y sus jinetes; y la carne de todos los hombres, libres y esclavos, pequeños y estupendo.' Y vi a la bestia, a los reyes de la tierra y a sus ejércitos reunidos para luchar contra el jinete del caballo y su ejército. La bestia fue muerta, y el falso profeta que hacía señales delante de él tambiény engañaron a los que habían recibido la marca de la bestia ya los que adoraban su imagen, y estos dos fueron arrojados vivos al lago de fuego que ardía con azufre. Y los demás fueron muertos a espada que salió de la boca del jinete del caballo, y todas las aves se llenaron de carne ”(Apocalipsis 19: 11-21). Después de que Cristo haya destruido todos los ejércitos reunidos en el Valle de Armagedón, reinará con sus santos durante mil años y restaurará a Israel a su tierra. Al final del milenio, habrá el juicio final sobre las naciones y toda la humanidad restante, después del cual vendrá el estado eterno. Es decir, con Dios o separado de Él (cf. Apocalipsis 20-21). Los eventos anteriores no son conjeturas ni posibilidades, sucederán en el futuro. Así como se han cumplido todas las profecías de la Biblia acerca de la primera venida de Cristo, también se cumplirán todas las profecías de la Biblia acerca de su segunda venida. Dada la veracidad de estas profecías, ¿cómo deberían afectarnos ahora? Peter pregunta: "De esta manera todas estas cosas serán destruidas. ¿Qué clase de gente debes ser para que esperes con ansias la venida del día de Dios mediante la santidad y la piedad, y mires apresuradamente a que los cielos sean consumidos? con fuego, y los elementos se derretirán con fuego abrasador! " (2 Pedro 3: 11-12). Cómo nos afecta la profecía bíblica hoy Hay cuatro respuestas a la profecía bíblica. La primera es la obediencia, que es el sombrero del que Pedro habló en el versículo anterior. Jesús nos dice constantemente que estemos preparados para su venida, que puede suceder en cualquier momento (cf. Marcos 13: 33-37) y que vivamos de una manera que no se avergüence de nuestras acciones. La segunda respuesta es la adoración. Dios ha provisto una forma de escapar del juicio en los últimos días. Es decir, es el regalo de la salvación ofrecido a través de Jesús. Debemos recibir Su salvación y vivir una vida de acción de gracias ante Él. Nuestra adoración en la tierra algún día se convertirá en nuestra adoración en el cielo. fue inmolado, y con tu sangre, por amor de Dios, compraste hombres de toda tribu, lengua, pueblo y nación ”(Apocalipsis 5: 9). La tercera respuesta es la proclamación. El mensaje de salvación de Dios y la verdad de la Segunda Venida deben ser proclamados para que todos lo escuchen, especialmente para aquellos que aún no creen. Debemos darles a todos la oportunidad de volverse a Dios y ser salvos de la ira venidera. Apocalipsis 22:10 dice: "Y me dijo:" No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro, porque el tiempo está cerca ". La respuesta final a la palabra profética de Dios es el servicio. Todo creyente debe esforzarse por hacer la voluntad de Dios y hacer buenas obras. Parte del juicio de Cristo tiene que ver con lo que han hecho los creyentes. No determinan la entrada de un cristiano al cielo, sino más bien muestran lo que cada creyente ha hecho con el regalo de Dios para ellos. Pablo dice de este juicio: “Porque es necesario que todos comparezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno de nosotros sea recompensado por lo que haya hecho en el cuerpo, sea bueno o malo” (2 Corintios 5: 5). 10). En resumen, Dios es soberano sobre todos los eventos y personas del mundo. Él controlará firmemente todo y terminará perfectamente todo lo que comenzó. Una vieja canción cristiana dice: La profecía cumplida es una prueba de que la Biblia es un libro sobrenatural. Ya se han cumplido cientos de profecías del Antiguo Testamento, y es razonable suponer que las profecías del fin de los tiempos también se harán realidad. Para aquellos que conocen a Jesús y creen en Él como su Salvador, Su regreso será su bendita esperanza (cf. Tito 2:13). Pero para aquellos que rechazan a Cristo, Él será su santo terror (véase II Tesalonicenses 1: 8). La conclusión es la siguiente. Para sobrevivir al fin de los tiempos, asegúrese de ser un creyente en Cristo. “Dios no nos nombró para ira, sino para salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo” (1 Tesalonicenses 5: 9).
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age. - Titus 2:11-12 (NIV) Remember to always search God's word for yourself. Are we living in the evil end times? Yes, demons are real and so is spiritual warfare: Demons are fallen angels, as Revelation 12:9 indicates: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the entire world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” Satan's fall from heaven is symbolically described in Isaiah 14:12–15 and Ezekiel 28:12–15. When he fell, Satan took some of the angels with him—one third of them, according to Revelation 12:4. Jude 6 also mentions angels who sinned. So, biblically, demons are fallen angels who, along with Satan, chose to rebel against God. I wonder how many of us has notice just hoe rude, nasty, disrespectful, spiteful many individual s has become not just on the highways but also at children's sports games, inside stores, and more always in a rush to get nowhere fast. Children being arrest for not wearing a mask. Elderly Florida mother jailed for bucking hospital COVID rules, refusing to leave daughter's bedside: would you leave your child bedside? Here are some key areas of scripture that rapture adherents point to as evidence to corroborate my belief and other Christian's beliefs. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. — Matthew 24:40-41 (NIV) Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words. — 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 (NIV Daniel 7:13-14 13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Often, people experience anxiety when they think about the future; however, it does not have to be that way. For those who know God, thoughts of the future bring eagerness and comfort. For example, describing a woman who knows and trusts God, Proverbs 31:25 says, “She smiles at the future.” Two key thoughts to keep in mind about the future are, first, God is sovereign and in control over everything. He knows the future and absolutely controls what will happen. The Bible says, “Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure' . . . Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it” (Isaiah 46:9–11, emphasis added). The second thing to remember about the future is that the Bible outlines what will occur in “the end times” or “latter days.” Because the Bible is God's revelation to humankind, and because God knows and controls the future (as Isaiah says above), then it makes sense that when the Bible speaks about what will occur in the future, we can believe it. Concerning predictions about the future, the Bible says, “No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:21). This truth is evident in the fact that, unlike the false prophecies made in other religions or by individuals such as Nostradamus, the Bible has never once been wrong – every time the Bible has predicted a future event, it happened exactly as Scripture said it would. When considering how to understand and survive in the end times, answer these three questions: How should I interpret what the Bible says about the future (biblical prophecy)? What does the Bible say will happen in the end times? How should what the Bible says about the future affect the way I live today? How to Interpret Biblical Prophecy There are several viewpoints on what methods should be used when interpreting passages concerning the end times. While there are good people espousing different beliefs, there is good reason to believe that biblical prophecy should be interpreted (1) literally, (2) with a futurist view, and (3) in what is called a “premillennial” manner. Encouraging a literal interpretation is the fact that there are over 300 prophecies that concern the first coming of Christ, all of which were literally fulfilled. The predictions surrounding the Messiah's birth, life, betrayal, death, and resurrection were not fulfilled allegorically or in a spiritual manner. Jesus literally was born in Bethlehem, performed miracles, was betrayed by a close friend for 30 pieces of silver, was pierced in His hands and feet, died with thieves, was buried in a rich man's tomb, and was resurrected three days after His death. All these details were predicted hundreds of years before Jesus was born and were literally fulfilled. And, while there is symbolism used in various prophecies (e.g., dragons, horsemen, etc.), all of it portrays literal beings or events, in much the same way as Jesus is spoken of as a lion and a lamb. Regarding a futurist view, the Bible clearly states that prophetic books like Daniel and Revelation contain not only accounts of historical events, but also predictions of future events. After John was given his messages for the churches of his day, he received visions concerning what would occur in the end times. John was told, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things” (Revelation 4:1, emphasis added). Perhaps an even stronger argument for a futurist view involves the promises God made to Abraham (cf. Genesis 12 & 15) concerning the land of Israel. Since God's covenant with Abraham was unconditional, and His promises have not yet been fulfilled to Abraham's descendants, then a futurist view of the promises to Israel is warranted. Lastly, with respect to prophecy being interpreted in a “premillennial” manner, this means that, first, the church will be Raptured, then the world will experience a seven-year Tribulation period, and then Jesus Christ will return to reign over the earth for 1,000 literal years (Revelation 20). But what does the Bible say will happen before then? What Does the Bible Say Will Happen in the End Times? Sadly, the Bible predicts a downward spiral of catastrophes, human sin, and religious apostasy before Christ returns. Paul writes, “But realize this, that in the last days challenging times will come. . .. Evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:1, 13). The world will continue to reject God, His Word, and His people. Some day in the future – a day no one knows – God will end the Church Age which began in the first century on Pentecost (cf. Acts 2) with an event known as the Rapture. At that time, God removes all believers in Christ from the earth in preparation for His final judgments. Of the Rapture, Paul says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:14–18). The erosion of peace and increase of turmoil that precedes the Rapture will reach epic proportions when untold numbers of people disappear from the earth. Such an event will cause panic and demands for a strong leader who will have answers to all the world's problems. Preparation for this leader has been in progress for some time, as historian Arnold Toynbee has noted, “By forcing on mankind more and more lethal weapons, and at the same time making the world more and more interdependent economically, technology has brought mankind to such a degree of distress that we are ripe for the deifying of any new Caesar who might succeed in giving the world unity and peace.” Out of a revived Roman Empire, one that is organized in a European ten-constituency fashion (cf. Daniel 7:24; Revelation 13:1), the Antichrist will arise and sign a covenant with the nation of Israel, which will officially begin God's prophetic seven-year countdown to Christ's second coming (cf. Daniel 9:27). For three and a half years, the Antichrist will reign over the earth and promise peace, but it is a false peace which will entrap the people of the earth. The Bible says, “While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!' then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Wars, earthquakes, and famines will escalate (cf. Matthew 24:7) until the end of the Antichrist's 3.5-year reign, when he will enter a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and proclaim himself to be God and demand worship (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Matthew 24:15). It is at that point that the true God responds to the challenge. For another 3.5 years, a Great Tribulation will occur, such as has never been seen. Jesus predicted, “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short” (Matthew 24:21–22). Untold loss of life and destruction of the earth will occur during the Great Tribulation. Also, large numbers will come to faith in Christ, yet many will do so at cost of their lives. God will still be in control as He gathers the unbelieving armies of the world in order to judge them. Of this event, the prophet Joel wrote, “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people” (Joel 3:2). John records the battle this way: “And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon [Satan] and out of the mouth of the beast [the Antichrist] and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. . . . And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon” (Revelation 16:13–16). At this point, the Messiah Jesus will return, destroy His enemies, and claim the world, which is rightfully His. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh, He has a name written, ‘KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.' Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in mid-heaven, ‘Come, assemble for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves and small and great.' And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him, the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11–21). After Christ has defeated all the armies gathered in the valley of Armageddon, He will reign with His saints for one thousand years and fully restore Israel to her land. At the end of a thousand years, a final judgment of the nations and all remaining mankind will occur, which is then followed by an eternal state: either spent with God or separated from Him (cf. Revelation 20-21). The above events are not speculations or possibilities – they are what will take place in the future. Just as all the Bible's prophecies of Christ's first coming came true, so will all the Bible's prophecies of His second coming. Given the truth of these prophecies, what impact should they have on us now? Peter asks this question: “Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!” (2 Peter 3:11–12). The Effect of Bible Prophecy on Us Today There are four responses we should have to Bible prophecy. The first is obedience, which is what Peter speaks of in the verses above. Jesus continually tells us to be ready for His coming, which could happen at any time (cf. Mark 13:33-37) and to live in such a way that we are not ashamed of our behavior. The second response is worship. God has provided a way to escape His end-time judgments—His gift of salvation offered through Jesus. We must be sure we receive His salvation and live-in gratitude before Him. Our worship on earth will one day become worship in heaven: “And they sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation'” (Revelation 5:9). The third response is proclamation. The message of God's salvation and the truth of His second coming need to be proclaimed for all to hear, especially to those who do not yet believe. We must give everyone the chance to turn to God and be saved from His coming wrath. Revelation 22:10 says, "And he said to me, ‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.'” The last response to God's prophetic Word is service. All believers should be diligent about conducting God's will and performing good works. Part of Christ's judgments will be of the works performed by believers. They do not determine a Christian's acceptance into heaven, but they do show what each believer did with the gifts given him or her by God. Paul says of this judgment, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10). In summation, God is sovereign over all events and people of the world. He is firmly in control of everything and will bring a perfect end to everything He has started. An old Christian song puts it like this: “All is God's creation … Fashioned by One hand … Satan and Salvation … Under One command.” Fulfilled prophecy is one proof that the Bible is a supernatural book. Hundreds of Old Testament prophecies have already been fulfilled, and it is reasonable to conclude that what it says about the end times will be fulfilled as well. For those who know Jesus and have trusted Him as their Lord and Savior, His coming will be their blessed hope (cf. Titus 2:13). But for those who have rejected Christ, He will be their holy terror (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:8). The bottom line is this: to survive the end times, make sure you are a believer in Christ: “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

Global Policy Watch #1: 9/11, Toynbee and Civilisations Bringing an Indian perspective to global issues— RSJI write this on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Like most adults, I have a clear memory of that day. I was in Bombay then. Just about getting my bearings straight in my first job. I left work early that evening (those were the days). Nariman Point, where I worked, to Warden Road, where I lived, was a half an hour commute then. I got into a ‘kaali-peeli’ and went past Marine Drive smoking a B&H. Quite posh. Especially, for someone who grew up in a small industrial township in eastern India and smoked unfiltered Charminar in college. I usually got off at the intersection of Napean Sea Road and Warden Road. The Shemaroo (‘circulating’) library was located right opposite the Jogger’s Park. It was a dingy little place, packed with books, kids borrowing Harry Potters and a familiar musty smell of libraries that mixed with the salty Arabian Sea breeze blowing in from across. The proprietor spoke in a lazy Sindhi drawl (‘helloo, Shemaaarooo’) while keeping his eye all the time on a small TV that was mounted high on the wall on one end. On the other side of the street, further up the Napean Sea Road, was the famous Shemaroo video library. Another landmark of those times in south Bombay. Between these two establishments, my life in Bombay was a pleasant whirl of books and world cinema. And there was the paani-puri waala at the start of the Sophia College lane. Sorry, I digress.Back to that evening. I had picked up a John Updike and was checking out from the library when the man at the counter with his eyes on the TV drawled - “yeh(hh) dekho(oo)”! So, I turned right, looked up and saw the second plane crashing into the South Tower (2 WTC). Things weren’t the same again. A couple of weeks back I saw the forlorn image of the last US soldier leaving Afghanistan. A grainy night picture enveloped in a ghostly, greenish hue. And I couldn’t help thinking of the contrast to that clear, blue fall day when the planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Those two images - one clean but ominous and the other blurry and defeated - bookend perhaps the most significant period of post-Cold War history whose echo will play out through this century. 2001 was a different time though. My life was good. India was shining. The western liberal democratic order had won the battle of superpowers. Nations, long suffering under communist dictatorships, were embracing democracy all around. Free market was in vogue. China was about to enter WTO. Borders were becoming meaningless. The end of history was nigh. We could feel it in our bones.And here we are in 2021. After many meaningless campaigns in Middle East and Afghanistan, the US is on a retreat with no interest in playing the global policeman. The global financial crisis (GFC) and the Covid-19 pandemic have dealt a body blow to globalisation. Borders have become more meaningful than ever as Brexit and the backlash against immigration have shown. The anger against the elite has seen the rise of right-wing nationalism and a retreat into authoritarian setups across the many fledgling democracies in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. China turned prosperous but it didn’t turn into a liberal, open society as many had expected. Instead, it is mounting its own threat to the liberal order offering its model of a one-party regime that draws upon its civilisational memory as an alternative. India is not exactly shining now. And for me? Well, I’m writing this newsletter. Who could have imagined this in 2001? There have been epochal events in history that changed its course. But none that lasted fewer than 20 minutes with a mere two buildings collapsing. We didn’t know it then. But they may have brought down a civilisation. In the past few years, I have found greater meaning in the essays of the great 20th-century historian, Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975), while trying to make sense of the change around us. This might seem surprising. Toynbee is hardly read any more in colleges. His last years where he made a distinct turn to the spiritual, his academic style that bypassed the factual for the ‘total human experience’, his rejection of Eurocentrism and his championing of Asian civilisational values made him an academic pariah by the end of his life. Yet, about half a century after his death, I see in his works a useful framework to appreciate the events that have unfolded in the past 20 years. I will take up two elements of this frame in this edition.Cultural Homogenisation versus Plurality of CivilisationThe idea that a dominant culture will impose its hegemony of ideas and beliefs through political will over other cultures seemed incongruous to Toynbee as he studied 19 successful and 9 abortive civilisations. That study yielded his 12-volume masterpiece, A Study of History. The two-volume abridged version by D.C. Somervell is easier to read and more accessible. For Toynbee, the dominant civilisation will export its way of life and cultural artefacts and they might even be accepted by others in a sign of apparent homogenisation. But it will be naïve to believe this acceptance and imitation of another culture signals the subsuming of a civilisation into the other. There’s a great anecdote in Toynbee’s essay Islam, The West, And The Future (as part of his 1948 book Civilisation on Trial) which illuminates this idea (reproduced below):“This state of mind may be illustrated by a conversation which took place in the nineteen-twenties between the Zaydi Imam Yahya of San’a and a British envoy whose mission was to persuade the Imam to restore peacefully a portion of the British Aden Protectorate which he had occupied during the general War of 1914-1918 and had refused to evacuate thereafter, notwithstanding the defeat of his Ottoman overlords. In a final interview with the Imam, after it had become apparent that the mission would not attain its object, the British envoy, wishing to give the conversation another turn, complimented the Imam upon the soldierly appearance of his new-model army. Seeing that the Imam took the compliment in good part, he went on: ‘And I suppose you will be adopting other Western institutions as well?’ ‘I think not,’ said the Imam with a smile. ‘Oh, really? That interests me. And may I venture to ask your reasons?’ ‘Well, I don’t think I should like other Western institutions,’ said the Imam. ‘Indeed? And what institutions, for example?’ ‘Well, there are parliaments,’ said the Imam. ‘I like to be the Government myself. I might find a parliament tiresome. ‘Why, as for that,’ said the Englishman, ‘I can assure you that responsible parliamentary representative government is not an indispensable part of the apparatus of Western civilization. Look at Italy. She has given that up, and she is one of the great Western powers.’ ‘Well, then there is alcohol,’ said the Imam, ‘I don’t want to see that introduced into my country, where at present it is happily almost unknown.’ ‘Very natural,’ said the Englishman; ‘but, if it comes to that, I can assure you that alcohol is not an indispensable adjunct of Western civilization either. Look at America. She has given up that, and she too is one of the great Western powers.’ ‘Well, anyhow,’ said the Imam, with another smile which seemed to intimate that the conversation was at an end, ‘I don’t like parliaments and alcohol and that kind of thing.’ (emphasis mine) It is difficult for the Imam to put his finger on what “kind of thing” of the western civilisation is he dead against. There’s no definition of it. You could learn the western ways, read their great texts, trade with them, watch their films and grow prosperous following their lead; and yet, you would reject ‘that kind of thing’. There’s no logic to this. It is what it is. It’s always been this way. As Toynbee continues: The Englishman could not make out whether there was any suggestion of humour in the parting smile with which the last five words were uttered; but, however that might be, those words went to the heart of the matter and showed that the inquiry about possible further Western innovations at San’a had been more pertinent than the Imam might have cared to admit. Those words indicated, in fact, that the Imam, viewing Western civilization from a great way off, saw it, in that distant perspective, as something one and indivisible and recognized certain features of it, which to a Westerner’s eye would appear to have nothing whatever to do with one another, as being organically related parts of that indivisible whole. This is the Gandhian equivalent of accepting outside influences but on our own terms (“open your windows and let the winds blow in”). And not the isomorphic mimicry of the dominant culture that the elites of weaker nations often end up doing. Eventually, the plurality of civilisation asserts itself to redress the balance. Civilisation isn’t a destination. It is ever-changing and ever assimilating. As Toynbee memorably wrote:“Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbour.” This is what the past 20 years have shown us. “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” The other idea that Toynbee spent a great deal of time on was what causes civilisations to decline and fall. For Toynbee, civilisations didn’t break down because of a loss of control over their territory or human environment. Or a decline in military might or technology prowess. These are proximate causes but not the underlying reason. For Toynbee, the real decline is rooted in the social. Civilisations build and grow because of ‘creative response’ of a minority to difficult circumstances. This creative minority that battles the odds is the genesis of all civilisations. Over time, they overcome the external material threats through their military and economic might and build a stable platform for it to flourish. And then begins their focus on challenges that arise from within which require, what Toynbee calls, an inner or spiritual response. This is when a civilisation turns inwards, introspects deeply about itself and creates cultural markers that stand the test of time. The decline comes because the creative minority (the elites as we might call them today) lose their creative power, turn self-obsessed and focus all their energies on self-preservation. The majority loses their trust in them and rebels. This leads to a loss of social cohesion and the civilisation splits into three groups. A ‘dominant minority’, a pale shadow of the creative minority of the past, that’s clinging on to their power; an ‘inner proletariat’ that’s within the civilisation but has no interest anymore in following the lead of the dominant minority and rebels against it; and lastly, an ‘external proletariat’ that’s beyond the boundaries of civilisation which now no longer is in the thrall of the dominant civilisation and resists any attempt by it to dominate any more. A civilisation in decline isn’t a pretty sight. There’s a lack of clarity on which way to steer it or even who will steer it. There’s an aimless drift in its affairs. There’s a longing for the glorious past or some kind of revolution that will usher in a new future. It is a fertile ground for demagogues. Sometime during the Vietnam War, Toynbee wrote:“Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now.” I will leave you to draw your inferences as you read the above section and look at the course America has taken over the past two decades. History might not repeat. But it rhymes. I will close with what Toynbee thought was the only way for a civilisation to revive itself:“Schism in the soul, schism in the body social, will not be resolved by any scheme to return to the good old days (archaism), or by programs guaranteed to render an ideal projected future (futurism), or even by the most realistic, hardheaded work to weld together again the deteriorating elements [of civilization]. Only birth can conquer death―the birth, not of the old thing again, but of something new.” There’s a lesson there for the US. And if you read that closely, there’s a lesson in there for India of the present too. Global Policy Watch #2: 9/11 and the Myth of Mindless ViolenceBringing an Indian perspective to global issues— Guest Post by Ameya NaikEven if you’ve never read Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, you’ve probably come across her theories on grief and loss. She proposed that the human mind processes grief in five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Modern research has built on this model, supporting what may seem intuitive - that the five stages are often not linear, and that grief can be prolonged, impacted, and circular.As a psychiatrist, Kubler-Ross developed her theories (and then applied them) in her work with terminally ill patients in Chicago and California. As anyone who has lost a family member to such a condition will know, these are intensely personal experiences, as the afflicted person and their family grapple with illness, pain, and impending loss.Such experiences can be qualitatively different from instances of societal rupture: events that become a shared experience of loss, pain, trauma, or disruption. Unlike illness, which is ultimately an anticipable part of any personal or family life story, these societal events are like the shock of a traffic accident, magnified many times over. They can be seen as ruptures precisely because those who experience them recall feeling that the world changed -- that life would never be as it was before.It was just such an experience with mass violence and disruption that sparked Kubler-Ross’ own interest in how the human mind processes death, both actual and impending. As a volunteer with the International Voluntary Service for Peace at the end of World War II, she visited the Majdanek concentration camp outside Lublin, Poland. Her biography describes a striking image she found there: on a wall in the camp, prisoners awaiting execution had somehow carved a picture of butterflies in flight. It was an illustration, she said, not only of transformation - the philosophical idea that death is not an end, but a transition - but also of dignity among the dying. That this could be found even amidst the cruelty of a concentration camp is poetic; it cannot change the fact of the deaths that followed, but it does change their meaning.There is a second sense in which violence has meaning: the perpetrators of violence often intend it to convey a specific message to a specific group, often the community to which their victims belong. That message is usually some version of “do not imagine you are safe”. Sometimes it comes with the expectation of surrender - I can hurt you, so you had best not resist my will. In other cases, as with terrorist attacks, fear is an end in itself.Much of the study of political violence is understanding when a group uses violence against another or others, and what message they aim to convey thereby. For instance, Dara Kay Cohen and her colleagues have done exceptional work on understanding the variations in use of sexual violence in conflict - who does it, under what circumstances, and with what motive or desired effect.This is the irony of studying terrorism: it is war, and hence politics, by other means - and politics is all about messaging and influence. The perpetrators of a terrorist attack are well aware of how their actions will be interpreted, and quite deliberate in choosing actions that send such a message. We know this is true, and yet, the survivors and family members of victims of a terrorist attack are probably the last people who want to hear such an analysis. Their loved ones have been snatched away from them, suddenly and painfully. Some are fortunate to find, even in that loss, a story of courage and dignity -- for instance among the passengers on United Flight 93. Others, especially when in the stages of denial and anger, will pronounce these events -- the violence and loss -- meaningless, senseless, mindless.I have spent the past week and more listening to many voices speaking about attacks of September 11th, 2001, and what the twenty years since have involved, what lessons can be learnt, and so on. There can be no dispute that this event was a rupture -- our world has not been the same as it was before. A more complete accounting of what exactly has changed, though, is likely to prove difficult.As you take in these many voices, please take it as a sign that “what 9/11 means” is far from settled; to the extent that it meant and means different things to different people, a final answer may never be possible. What is certain is that the attacks themselves, and the “Global War on Terror” that followed, was neither mindless nor meaningless; violence never is.Matsyanyaaya: The Taliban Government and What it Means for IndiaBig fish eating small fish = Foreign Policy in action— Pranay Kotasthane(This is a draft of my article which appeared first in Times of India’s Thursday, September 9th edition.)Taliban has again done what it does best: make vague promises, extract concessions, and return to their original plan. Meanwhile, the interlocutors continue to extract more promises from the Taliban — hoping that the group has changed — only to return disappointed. This cycle repeats. Afghans suffer.The newly announced Taliban government is a good illustration of this now-familiar playbook. Former President Hamid Karzai and the Head of the High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah's presence in Qatar gave an impression that an interim government with broader representation is in the works. The Taliban made the right noises all through the Doha agreement negotiations about creating an inclusive government. But when the government was finally announced, it was anything but inclusive.The exclusion of women in the ministry shouldn't surprise anyone. Instead, notice three other aspects. Many old-timers have found a place in the government as a reward for their role during the twenty-year war. For the Taliban, it didn't matter if the international community had put these leaders under travel and financial sanctions. For a long time, the US believed that these sanctions could mould the Taliban's future behaviour. Not only did the Taliban ignore this carrot of removing sanctions, but it has also chosen to appoint Sirajuddin Haqqani — still on the FBI's wanted list — as the powerful Minister of Interior. When asked on a Pakistani news show about the sanctions curtailing the ministers' ability to govern, the Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen countered that the US had gone back on its Doha agreement promise of removing the sanctions three months after the intra-Afghan dialogue began. Two, as Ibraheem Bahiss of the Crisis Group points out, there are no Hazaras, just two Tajiks, one Uzbek, and hardly any representation from the north in the 33-member government. Pashtuns from the southern part of Afghanistan — Taliban's strong base — have disproportionate representation. While the world is still hoping that this caretaker government would transition to a more inclusive government in the future, the Taliban continues to maintain that it is already an inclusive formation. Despite the steadfast opposition, the Taliban's narrative has always been that without broad-based support, they wouldn't have been able to sustain a war with a superpower for twenty years.And three, the Pakistan-backed factions have cornered all the positions. Not only is the Haqqani Network in, but all candidates known to take an independent line are out. The Doha political office has been sidelined, while Mullah Abdul Ghani 'Baradar' has been relegated to a deputy prime minister role.Given the lopsided composition of this government, protests from many sections of society are likely to continue. The latest rounds of protests in Kabul were in opposition to Pakistan's interference in Afghanistan's domestic affairs. Such a perception will only gain strength with the formation of a government that came into being after an ISI Chief visited Kabul. Twitter feeds of protests in Kabul will continue to pressure other governments to modulate their engagement with the new government. Expect the resistance forces in the north to regroup once the Taliban lowers its guard there. From a foreign policy angle, the US is unlikely to grant any economic relief to this government.From the Indian perspective, hopes that the Taliban will be aggressive towards Pakistan, once in power, should be shelved for now. This government is, without doubt, a Pakistan-installed and Pakistan-controlled administration. It also means that any resumption of Indian diplomatic presence in Afghanistan will remain severely diminished for quite some time. Beyond limited contact to enable humanitarian assistance, the risks of engaging with this administration far outweigh the benefits.Finally, we shouldn't forget that the Taliban wants to transform the Afghanistan State itself. It won't be content with installing a government alone. The Taliban believes that it has freed Afghanistan from foreign powers, and its next project is to create a new constitution. Many Afghans will continue to oppose this revisionist project.India Policy Watch #1: Pluralism and its DiscontentsInsights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay Kotasthane“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” RSJ’s invocation of Toynbee reminded me of an instance of majoritarianism from the past week that should scare us, once again. A Bengaluru-based ready-to-cook food manufacturer was accused of mixing cow bones in dosa batter, through a targeted disinformation campaign on popular social media. To sound even more compelling, the posts also said that the company employed ‘only Muslims', it Halal certified, and hence ‘every single’ Hindu should refrain from buying its products.At one level, none of this should surprise us. Like everything else in India, food is also not personal. It’s communal and hence communal. The Information Age version of food-based majoritarinism perhaps began in 2015 with the lynching of a Muslim man in Dadri following the circulation of three photos of meat and bones of a slaughtered animal via WhatsApp. Since then, such instances have become irregularly regular. And yet, this latest instance hurts. Perhaps because it is personal. I am an admiring customer of the brand facing baseless accusations. Their ready-to-cook food has popularised a whole new segment of breakfast eats, and inspired many a copycats in the process. On deeper reflection, I realised how this instance illustrates the instrumental significance of tolerance. Religious tolerance (or the lack of it) can even change the nature of acceptable competition in markets. In a communally-charged environment, instead of product quality and differentiation, targeting the religion of a seller becomes the shortest-path-to-ground for a hypothetical adversary. Why compete when you can communalise? What happens to an economy in which this hatred itself becomes the primary method for oneupmanship between employees and between firms? It is easy to blame social media apps that are used to propagate such messages. But its really the ‘social distancing’ between Hindus and Muslims that has allowed people to frame, disseminate, and want to believe, the most outlandish accusations against each other. And so, when I think of twenty years since 9/11, my heart sinks. While the terrorists have been defeated over the last decades, it seems to me that terrorism has won. It has deepened the divides between religious communities. Terrorism has even managed to set the terms for casual debates about politics, society, and culture. And most importantly, it has torn down the carefully constructed idea of Indian pluralism. Like with the language of terrorism, the ‘other’, the ‘enemy’ has become central to the existence of all our religious communities. If terrorism is theatre, the show’s been running for twenty years and still going strong.I’ll end this lament with a Puliyabaazi episode with Ghazala Wahab, whose book ‘Born a Muslim’ tries to bridge the knowledge gap between Hindus and Muslims. We need many more such stories if we truly want to vanquish majoritarianism.India Policy Watch #2: On-road behaviour and usInsights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneRoads are like big functions — you come across several annoying people whom you meet just once. But on roads, this fearsome interchange happens every single day. And so on-road behaviour tells a lot about our society, values, and priorities. Two thoughts regarding roads made me write this piece.One, the precipitous fall in observing traffic rules since COVID-19 began. In my city, driving on the left-side of the road divider was a rule largely followed before the pandemic hit. But that norm melted once the traffic thinned during the first-wave. Not surprising. But what’s interesting is the persistence of this norm-breaking. Observe how the norm, once broken, hasn’t been put together even as vehicle traffic has gone back to near normal on key roads. Is this your observation as well? What’s happened to rule-breaking on roads in your city? How can we return to the older equilibrium of more rule-following?Two, I read this tongue-in-cheek and yet not tongue-in-cheek story of the Union Roads Minister’s idea that vehicle horns should also play to their tunes, meaning that horns should sound like flutes, violins, and tabla (how sushil and sanskaari). So that the honourable minister doesn’t seem out of place, I have another wacko idea — a two-way horn that’s audible to drivers. I even wrote something on it seven years ago in CitizenMatters: A basic law of economics states that a rational person makes a choice by comparing the costs and benefits associated with it. If the marginal benefits of picking an alternative exceed the marginal costs, that alternative is picked. It is relevant in the current context because the marginal costs currently are too low for the offenders to force them to give up the benefit experienced by pressing the easily accessible horn button. Raising monetary costs alone will not be sufficient to change the predisposition of the average Indian driver, which is to use the horn as an object to reduce his/her on-road anxiety — much like an office desk stress ball.One way is to think beyond fines and instead increase the emotional costs for the offenders. This can be done, for example, by installation of horns that channel a portion of the sound they generate towards the vehicle users themselves.Currently, the users are practically shielded from the noise pollution because the design is such that the sound is amplified and expelled outwards. If, on the other hand, if a blaring horn also causes discomfort to the user’s ears, it will make him/her think twice before launching a noise assault on other road users, particularly the unarmed pedestrians.Though the design of such a system is simple and costs not high, it is natural that no vehicle maker will be interested in incorporating this for the fear of turning away possible customers. And this is where governments can step in. The Union government can create noise guidelines on the lines of the Bharat Stage emission standards. Such vehicular noise guidelines with broad specifications for horns that feed back to the user will help bring down noise levels.Along with the existing initiatives, this step of increasing emotional costs can make our urban public spaces sane and peaceful. Ideally, a society that is more empathetic towards others will not need such government interventions. But until we reach that enlightened state, we need our governments and our people to collectively tackle this social evil of urban noise pollution.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Podcast] Dan Carlin on the retreat from Afghanistan: After 20 years in Afghanistan the U.S. exits the country thus ending the longest war in American history.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we discuss the mystery of the Toynbee Tiles. Part art, part graffiti, part philosophy, part political statement, part crazy, these tiles have been appearing in the blacktop of Philadelphia (and eventually, many states and South America) since the 1980s. The classic tile reads "TOYNBEE IDEA IN MOViE `2001 RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPITER." The tiles express the creator's desire to terraform Jupiter and fill it with recreated molecular copies of all humans who ever died through the history of the earth. For starters. This American street art is as interesting as its creator is mysterious. Much of the research done on these tiles were done by Justin Duerr, an artist and the maker of the documentary called Resurrect Dead. He does a deep dive on the subject and comes to his own theories of who this person is and what the message means. Most people break the message down to be a statement that involves the great British historian Arnold Toynbee, and a connection to the story arc of Arthur C Clarke and Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and maybe a connection to a Ray Bradbury story called “The Toynbee Convector.” Whatever it is, it is shrouded in mystery. Some people think a man calling himself James Morasco was behind the tiles due to a series of phone calls he’d make to late night radio shows that included the odd statements on the typical tile. Others think this is an alias for a man named Severino "Sevy" Verna. Whoever was behind them, there are now copy cats such as the more sexually explicit House of Hades who started to appear in 2006. So, what are the tiles made of? How were they placed in busy streets in major cities with nobody seeing them? How were they made to stick to the asphalt and last for years with traffic driving directly over them? What is their connection with South America? What does it all have to do with pirate radio and TV signals? Listen, laugh, learn.

The disintegration of civilization is caused by the deterioration of what British historian Arnold Toynbee called the CREATIVE MINORITY. The church is the creative minority, as well as a moral minority. It must swim upstream and go against the grain. Then—and only then—can it catalyze revivals, reformations, and renaissances. The key to this creative minority? Unity in diversity. That is what results in spiritual maturity. That is what nets this BELOVED COMMUNITY we call the church. In the words of NCCer David Grizzle, “Unity among DISSIMILAR people serves the purpose of being INDISPUTABLE PROOF that God is in the house!” Let's not settle for the façade of UNIFORMITY. Let's strive for biblical unity!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=42APOCALYPTO § (2006) *****MEL GIBSON E' FIN TROPPO BUONO: I MAYA ERANO ANCORA PIU' FEROCI di Giacomo Samek LodoviciNell'anno 2000 una spedizione archeologica al Cerro Llullaillaco, sulle Ande, trovò la mummia perfettamente conservata di una bambina che gli scopritori chiamarono Cara de Angel, «viso d'angelo». Era stata sotterrata ancora viva a testa in giù ai piedi dell'altare sacrificale di uno degli innumerevoli e sanguinari dèi degli Incas. Non è altro che uno dei tantissimi ritrovamenti con cui gli archeologi via via confermano quel che i conquistadores spagnoli scrissero nei loro rapporti alla Corte iberica.Il recente film di Mel Gibson, Apocalypto, non fa che narrare quel che nessuno ha mai descritto finora al cinema: le civiltà precolombiane si basavano sui sacrifici umani praticati in scala industriale. Basti pensare che, solo per consacrare il tempio dedicato al dio Huitzilopochtli, nel 1486, gli Aztechi nella loro capitale, Tenochtitlán, squartarono ben settantamila vittime in una cerimonia che durò giorni e giorni. Possiamo solo immaginare l'orrore e il raccapriccio provati dagli spagnoli quando si ritrovarono a camminare su un tappeto di decine di migliaia di teschi umani (non è un'esagerazione: ai piedi del tempio di cui abbiamo detto ne contarono esattamente centotrentaseimila; il film, accusato di eccessiva violenza, tiene, al contrario, la mano leggera rispetto alla storia).Ciò spiega come potè un pugno di avventurieri (letterale: Cortés aveva con sé solo una settantina di cavalieri) aver ragione di imperi colossali e perfettamente organizzati che disponevano di milioni di guerrieri. Infatti, con i conquistadores si allearono immediatamente tutte quelle tribù il cui unico scopo, secondo i dominanti Maya, Incas e Aztechi, era quello di fornire carne fresca per gli interminabili sacrifici in cima alle piramidi a gradoni.Gli Aztechi, per esempio, chiamavano xochi-yayotl, «guerre fiorite» quelle che scatenavano ogni primavera al solo scopo di procurare prigionieri da sacrificare. Tanto per far capire la situazione locale nell'America precolombiana, si ponga mente al fatto che lo stesso Cristoforo Colombo fu accolto con giubilo dagli arawak, eterne vittime dei cannibali caribi. Hernán Cortés, appena sbarcato a Vera Cruz, si vide subito offrire alleanza dai cempoaltechi, dai totonachi, dai tlazcaltechi, dai texcucani, dagli zapotechi e dai taraschi. Tutti popoli stufi di fare da carne da macello agli Aztechi.Lo stesso accadde a Francisco Pizarro: contro gli Incas ebbe compagni i cañari, i chachapuya, gli huanca e soprattutto gli yana, che oltre a servire da vittime sacrificali erano pure schiavi della «razza superiore» inca. Più gli archeologi procedono con gli scavi e più si apprende sui sacrifici umani, i cui modi erano i più vari. Di solito, il sacerdote apriva il petto alla vittima e le estraeva il cuore ancora palpitante, di cui mangiava una parte. Il cadavere veniva subito scuoiato e il sacerdote ne indossava la pelle. Indi, il corpo veniva fatto rotolare giù dalle scale, in fondo alle quali si scatenava una festosa gazzarra per appropriarsene. Il «fortunato» possessore poteva mangiarselo ritualmente con gli amici. Il rifornimento di vittime era assicurato, come si è detto, dalle guerre all'uopo scatenate e dalle razzie periodiche (come si vede in Apocalypto).Ma erano particolarmente apprezzati anche i bambini, la cui purezza e innocenza erano vieppiù gradite alla divinità. I modi di uccisione, come abbiamo detto, variavano: sono stati trovati resti di vittime arse vive, altre amputate fino alla morte, altre ancora stritolate sotto pesanti lastroni. Le analisi chimiche sugli stucchi dei templi aztechi hanno scoperto che nella composizione entravano ferro e albume impastati con sangue umano. Quest'ultimo, insieme alla carne, era anche parte di un intingolo molto apprezzato a base di mais, il tlacatlaolli.Ma non si pensi che l'efferata barbarie di Maya, Incas e Aztechi riguardasse solo le suggestive cerimonie religiose, perché anche la vita quotidiana sotto di loro era un vero e proprio incubo totalitario (è antipatico citarsi, ma è lo scarso spazio a costringerci a rimandare i lettori agli appositi e corposi capitoli del nostro libro I mostri della Ragione-Ares). Di solito, gli intellettuali relativisti glissano sulla realtà dei sacrifici umani e rimangono estasiati davanti alle opere ciclopiche e ai perfetti calendari solari delle civiltà precolombiane.Anche la loro arte li manda in visibilio. Si potrebbe osservare che pure i nazisti facevano opere ciclopiche, erano perfettamente organizzati e praticavano il genocidio sistematico ma nessuno si sognerebbe di lodarli. Per quanto riguarda l'arte, fu un calibro come Arnold Toynbee a notare che il tema preferito dagli artisti maya, incas e aztechi erano, ossessivamente, gli scuoiamenti, gli squartamenti, le teste mozzate.Così scriveva Franco Cardini proprio su queste pagine nel 1987: «Spiace davvero di non poter mettere certi studiosi alla prova». E proseguiva dicendo sostanzialmente che, ci fossero stati «certi studiosi»" al posto delle vittime dei Maya, degli Incas e degli Aztechi, forse il loro giudizio sarebbe alquanto diverso. Ebbene, un sano esercizio per cercare di comprendere tutta questa storia è provare a mettersi nei panni degli spagnoli cinquecenteschi quando si trovarono di fronte agli spettacoli che abbiamo succintamente descritto.È quel che ha fatto Mel Gibson con un film che, la si pensi come si vuole, è davvero grande cinema. Gibson, infatti, non è un «idiota» ma un cattolico professo, uno dei pochissimi del suo ambiente. Come il protagonista del suo The Passion, Jim Caviezel, il quale in un'intervista lamentò che essere cattolici nel giro hollywoodiano è come «andare in giro con un bersaglio sulla schiena con su scritto "sparatemi"». Questo è il vero motivo, temiamo, per cui Gibson si tira addosso, ogni volta, critiche e insulti (ma il botteghino è galantuomo). Noi italiani, invece, per «grande cinema» intendiamo i cosiddetti «film di Natale» o quelli di Nanni Moretti. Contenti noi...LA MADONNA DI GUADALUPE di Andrea GalliE' una delle scene del film di Mel Gibson con cui inizia il lungo, agghiacciante cammino verso la piramide del sacrificio. Quando gli indigeni catturati dagli emissari della capitale, legati come bestiame da portare al macello, devono guadare un fiume. E una madre, trascinata via con le altre prede, si gira per l'ultima volta verso i sopravvissuti alla razzia, i bambini che si affacciano dall'orlo della foresta, implorando la dea Ixchel di proteggerli e di vegliare su di loro.Altra scena. La moglie di "Zampa di Giaguaro", il protagonista, incinta e nascosta in fondo a un pozzo da cui non può più risalire da sola, getta uno sguardo che sa di implorazione a una luna piena. Luna che nella mitologia maya era associata ad Ixchel, la Madre numinosa, dea dell'amore e della fertilità, dea della conoscenza intuitiva e dell'arte della guarigione, protettrice degli abitanti del mondo di quaggiù.Sguardi, implorazioni di soccorso - già rivolti ad un cielo muto da generazioni e generazioni di maya nel passato - che avrebbero trovato una risposta nel 1531. Quando una donna misteriosa apparve sul colle Tepeyac, nei pressi della futura Città del Messico, nel luogo in cui sorgeva un antico tempio dedicato alla dea Tonantzin, "sorella" settentrionale della Ixchel dei maya. Una donna che parlò in lingua nahuatl ad un campesino indio, battezzato col nome di Juan Diego: "Io sono la perfetta sempre Vergine Santa Maria, madre del verissimo Dio, colui per il quale si vive, colui che sta dando l'essere alle persone, il Signore che sta vicino a tutto e nel quale tutto è ricapitolato, il padrone del cielo e della terra... io ho l'onore di essere la vostra Madre compassionevole, tua e di tutte le genti che in questa terra siete una cosa sola... Perché sarò sempre disposta ad ascoltare il loro pianto, la loro tristezza, per curare tutte le loro diverse miserie, le loro pene, i loro dolori".Il finale di quella apparizione, com'è noto, fu l'immagine che apparve sulla tilma, il saio di Juan Diego, quando costui riuscì a farsi ricevere dal vescovo per portargli una prova dell'apparizione di Maria: l'immagine di una donna dai tratti meticci, profezia della piena fusione di due popoli non più nemici.Una donna cinta da un nastro nero, il segno portato dalle indigene gravide, con un "quincunce", il fiore a quattro petali simbolo di Quetzalcoatl, il dio atteso, disegnato all'altezza del ventre. Una donna con un manto azzurro e verde, colori divini per gli aztechi. Una donna rivestita di sole, con la luna sotto i suoi piedi: come quella dell'Apocalisse.Quell'immagine acheropita, cioè non dipinta da mani umane, il popolo indigeno la riconobbe subito: l'aveva pre-vista da secoli. Capì subito anche il messaggio di quella che sarebbe stata chiamata la Vergine di Guadalupe: un'autentica "teologia della liberazione".Fu quell'apparizione che diede il vero via all'evangelizzazione dell'America Latina, fino ad allora piuttosto incerta. E trasformò lo sforzo di francescani e domenicani in un caso di inculturazione miracolosa (il "nuovo inizio" di cui parla Zampa di Giaguaro alla fine del film). Raccontano gli stessi missionari che i canti indios ad Ixchen e a Tonantzin, vietati dagli spagnoli, ripresero dopo il 1531 rivolti alla Vergine Maria. Gibson tutto questo non l'ha detto esplicitamente. Ma l'ha lasciato intendere. Anche fissando l'uscita del film nelle sale americane l'8 dicembre, festa dell'Immacolata.
ALAN MULHERN: The Quest & Psychotherapy (Jungian Approach to Healing)
Este podcast propone un modelo simplificado, una suerte de mapa de ruta por la evolución de la crisis económica y financiera mundial. Las etapas de esta crisis son los siguientes: 1 El acercamiento de la tormenta 2 La tormenta llega 3 La respuesta política 4 Depresión económica y caos financiero 5 Gran depresión global 6 Disturbios civiles. Radicalismo político. Peligros de guerra 7 Un mundo radicalmente cambiado Actualmente en mayo de 2020 estamos en la etapa 3. Es decir, la respuesta política Hoy examinaremos la etapa inicial de este modelo: EL ACERCAMIENTO DE LA TORMENTA. “El cisma en el cuerpo social, que hemos estado examinando, es una experiencia colectiva y, por lo tanto, superficial. Su importancia radica en que es el signo externo y visible de una grieta interna y espiritual. Encontraremos un cisma en las almas de los seres humanos que subyace a cualquier cisma que ocurra en la superficie de la sociedad " Arnold Toynbee. A Study of History

BOM DIA AMIGO, 2684 (Israel Belo de Azevedo) “O maior castigo para aqueles que não se interessam por política é que serão governados pelos que se interessam”. (Arnold Toynbee) A arte de entender o mundo Há poesia, há crônica, há ficção. E há o ensaio, que se desenvolve num livro preparado para descrever e interpretar a realidade. Nesta longa e antiga estante, estão as obras de cunho filosófico, como as de Platão e Rousseau, histórico, como as de Flávio Josefo e Arnold Toynbee, político, como as de Hannah Arendt e Rui Barbosa, e teológico, como as de Agostinho de Hipona e Martim Lutero. Cada área de conhecimento tem seus próprios ensaístas, cada com sua proposta e seu estilo, menos ou mais acadêmico, mais ou menos acessível. Na área da teologia, os escritores partem da Bíblia para explicar a realidade ou interpretam a realidade a partir das Sagradas Escrituras. Na trilha do apóstolo-escritor Paulo, desde cedo, sobretudo em função da rejeição greco-romana ao pensamento cristão, muitos autores se propuseram a harmonizar razão e fé ou a interpretar o mundo a partir do que foi revelado em Jesus Cristo. O maior destes teólogos foi o prolífico Agostinho. Depois deles vieram outros gigantes, como Martim Lutero, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teilhard de Chardin, C.S. Lewis, John Stott, Jürgen Moltmann e D.A. Carson, para compor uma lista de dez recomendações sobre escritores que nos propõem o que devemos crer e como devemos fazer nosso caminho na história. “Ainda que eu fale as línguas dos homens e dos anjos, se não tiver amor, serei como o bronze que soa ou como o címbalo que retine”. (1Coríntios 13.1) Bom dia!!!!!! Israel Belo de Azevedo A partir de hoje exclusivamente no Instagram estou recomendando autores e livros que nos dão prazer de ler. Acesse. Acompanhe-me.

Ibn Khaldun is one of the rare Muslim intellectuals who is famous in the West, cited by everyone from Arnold Toynbee to Ronald Reagan. He has been called the father of the modern discipline of History, as well as the Social Sciences in general. All these claims have been disputed. Nonetheless, Ibn Khaldun gave the world a theory about the rise and fall of empires that did not depend on mystical or religious explanations, and has become a part of our understanding of History today.
-The idea of religious universality, that all religions can lead to the same transcendental experience of unity, has entered into the modern world thanks to the influence of Sri Ramakrishna.-Sri Ramakrishna was able to reach the highest Advaitic experience in only three days under the instruction of Tota Puri. -This immediate realization comes when the disciple is fully concentrated on realizing the truth.-Ordinary seekers may need to practice concentration on the meaning of the highest Vedantic statements for some time before these ideas go from being only a doctrine or a concept to becoming an experience. -The waters of the various rivers mingle into one body of water. In the same way, the material of all religions is the same spiritual reality. An Advaitin can no longer be in conflict with any religion because he is not separate from anybody. -Sri Ramakrishna’s experience was the very embodiment of the ancient Vedantic revelations.-In modern times, according to Arnold Toynbee, this universal trend is shaping the trajectory of civilization. Directly or indirectly, Sri Ramakrishna’s nondual practice is the source.This lecture was delivered at the Vedanta Society of Northern California on March 10, 2013.
Comme l’écrivait autrefois le grand historien Arnold Toynbee, les grandes civilisations meurent par suicide et non par meurtre. Pour en venir à cette énigmatique conclusion, ce grand historien des civilisations avait étudié l’avènement et la chute de près de 30 civilisations différentes. Avec Charles Trahan
The publication of his 12-volume 'A Study of History' made Arnold Toynbee one of the most celebrated scholars of the 20th century – he was even featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1947. In this episode, his granddaughter Polly Toynbee joins historian Rana Mitter FBA for an exploration of the man, the books and their enduring legacy.
The Everding LecturesPresented by Dr. Hamza Yusuf, President and Senior Faculty Member, Zaytuna College Since 9/11 over two million Muslims have died in conflicts that in one way or another were related to the events in September 2001. Muslims have been the greatest victims of terror, with minority communities in the Middle East a distant second. In 1947, the historian, Prof. Arnold Toynbee, foretold of a militant version of Islam coupled with a nihilistic zealotry arising in the not too distant future. What did he know that we didn't, and how much of Islam has actually informed these zealots? Moreover, what can we do in the U.S. to mitigate the rise of anti-Muslim sentiment that demonizes the religion of a fifth of the world's population, heralding a possible race war that Toynbee also predicted was likely?.......................About Dr. YusufHamza Yusuf is president and senior faculty member of Zaytuna College (Berkeley, California), America's first accredited Muslim liberal arts college.He is an advisor to the Center for Islamic Studies at Berkeley's Graduate Theological Union. Yusuf also serves as vice president for the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (Abu Dhabi), which was founded and is currently presided over by Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah, a world-renowned Muslim scholar and jurist. In addition, Yusuf has joined the Emirates Fatwa Council under the leadership of Shaykh Abdallah.He is the author of several books and scholarly articles, while also translating major creedal Islamic texts into English, including Purification of the Heart, The Content of Character, The Creed of Imam al-Tahawi, Caesarean Moon Births, Prayer of the Oppressed, and Agenda to Change our Condition.Recently, Hamza Yusuf was ranked as "the Western world's most influential Islamic scholar" by The Muslim 500, edited by John Esposito and Ibrahim Kalin.Along with his extensive training in the Western liberal arts, Yusuf has studied Arabic and the Islamic sciences for over 40 years with leading scholars of the Muslim world........................The Everding Distinguished Lectureship ProgramEstablished through a gift from Prof. H. Edward and Lee Palmer Everding, this endowed lectureship is a project of the Iliff School of Theology and Saint John's Cathedral aimed at enhancing interfaith dialogue and interreligious learning throughout the community through annual lectures from outstanding visiting teachers.
Con el gran Enrique de Vicente, reconocido maestro del misterio, nunca se sabe lo que va a pasar. Nos relajaremos en esta tertulia (si podemos) para escuchar lo que nos cuenta sobre temas tan variopintos como los peligros del cambio climático, el despertar de la conciencia, la filosofía perenne, los hechos que están ocurriendo actualmente en el mundo, el denominado Nuevo Orden Mundial, o sobre escritores como H. G. Wells, George Orwell, Doris Lessing, Aldoux Huxley, Idris Shah y Arnold Toynbee.
A number of years ago at Stanford University, Arnold Toynbee, the prominent historian, said that most people today have rejected Christianity on the basis of a caricature. What did he mean? He meant that most people have never seen the real thing. They have never seen real Christianity. What they have seen was a blurred, distorted and twisted picture of Christianity, and they turned away disappointed and indifferent to the claims of Christ. Well, what were they looking for? Perhaps more than we professing Christians may realize, men and women in the world today expect to see in Christians some likeness to Christ. If you listen carefully to the protest movements that are so vocal today, and which have captured the ear of the press and the nation, you will see that the heart of their complaint is that they do not see in Christians, and the church, that likeness to Christ which they have been led to expect. That is why they turn away so disappointed, often bitter in their antagonism.
This is an addendum to the 8 lectures last year on the monumental Atlanticist apologetic Tragedy and Hope – based on Quigley’s other telling book, The Anglo-American Establishment. The first section is free, while subscribers gain access to full talks and lectures. “The goals which Rhodes and Milner sought and the methods by which they hoped to achieve them were so similar by 1902 that the two are almost indistinguishable Both sought to unite the world, and above all the English-speaking world in a federal structure around Britain. Both felt that this goal could best be achieved by a secret band of men united to one another by devotion to the common cause and by personal loyalty to one another. Both felt that this band should pursue its goal by secret political and economic influence behind the scenes and by the control of journalistic, educational, and propaganda agencies.” -Quigley (Namely, the Liberal Imperium.) “The great idealistic adventure which began with Arnold Toynbee and Lord Alfred Milner in 1875 had slowly ground its way to a finish of bitterness and ashes.” -Quigley

Sri Ramakrishna: Dios – Hombre por Swami Rameshwarananda Giri Maharaj, que tuvo lugar en Espacio Ronda (Madrid) el 5 de Abril 2016. Conferencia impartida por Swami Rameshwarananda Giri Maharaj, Presidente y fundador de Fundación Phi, presidente del Espacio de Encuentro Interreligioso de Valencia (EEIV), director de la Escuela de Yoga Vedanta y Meditación, miembro del Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders Sri Ramakrishna nació en una aldea rural de la India (Kamarpukur, Bengala Occidental, 1836 – Calcuta, 1886). Desde su infancia manifestó una tendencia natural hacia la vida espiritual, tendencia que se intensificó a medida que creció. Cuando siendo un joven comenzó a trabajar como sacerdote de un templo su pensamiento fluía constantemente hacia la Divinidad y como resultado a menudo era transportado a elevados estados espirituales donde se sumergía en la Realidad Infinita. Debido a su sed por lo divino, Ramakrishna siguió diferentes senderos religiosos, incluyendo varias ramas del hinduismo. También practicó disciplinas del Islam y más tarde meditó profundamente en Cristo, experimentando la misma Divina Realidad a través de los senderos no-hindúes. Así fue como llegó a la conclusión de que todas las religiones conducen a la misma meta. Sumado a esto y a través de sus muchos devotos Sikhs, él aprendió sobre esta fe y sus excepcionales fundadores. También conoció sobre la maravillosa vida y enseñanzas de Buda. Esta exposición a la fe Sikh como al Budismo confirmarían, más adelante, su experiencia sobre la universalidad de la verdad espiritual. El amor de Ramakrishna por la humanidad no tenía límites. A menudo decía que los seres humanos eran la más elevada manifestación de Dios. Sus discípulos tuvieron la gracia de ver cómo fluía el amor de Ramakrishna. Servicio a la humanidad es uno de los ideales básicos de la Orden Ramakrishna. Entre las notables características que definen a Ramakrishna se encuentran: su universalidad, su sencillez, su sinceridad, su vasto conocimiento de los campos espiritual y humano y su extraordinario poder de transformar vidas. Ramakrishna expresó la verdad espiritual en lenguaje simple e ilustró sus enseñanzas con parábolas y metáforas de la vida corriente de la India de su tiempo. Varios escritores y filósofos de renombre así como hombres de religión (Mahatma Gandhi, León Tolstoi, Aldous Huxley, Christopher Isherwood, Tomas Merton, Arnold Toynbee, Joseph Campbell) han sido profundamente influidos por él. Swami Rameshwarananda Giri, nacido en Bilbao en 1968, comenzó a practicar disciplinas espirituales desde muy joven, formándose en Hatha Yoga y Raja Yoga con maestros tanto occidentales como orientales. Tras conocer a Swami Ritajananda Maharaj, presidente de la Ramakrishna Mission en Europa en aquel momento, Swamiji experimentará una transformación integral, dedicándose por completo a realizar un incesante proceso introspectivo de conocimiento propio, a través de la contemplación y de un caminar resuelto hacia el estado del despertar. Tomó los votos de sannyasin (monje), a los 25 años, de Su Santidad Swami Brahmananda Giri Maharaj, uno de los herederos directos del linaje del Kriya Yoga. Posteriormente, fue enviado a España donde fundó, en 1993, la Escuela de Yoga Vedanta y Meditación y, al año siguiente, el Centro Vedántico, que dirige actualmente. A partir de entonces, empezó a dedicar gran parte de su tiempo a compartir sus enseñanzas sobre Yoga Vedanta y Meditación de forma altruista y vocacional. En 2009, funda y preside la Fundación Phi, dedicada a favorecer y fortalecer el desarrollo del potencial humano y el equilibrio cuerpo-mente-espíritu-entorno. Actualmente, Swami Rameshwarananda Giri Maharaj, además de presidente y fundador de Fundación Phi, es el presidente del Espacio de Encuentro Interreligioso de Valencia (EEIV) y el director de la Escuela de Yoga Vedanta y Meditación, que realiza encuentros periódicos en distintas ciudades de España, Europa, América e India.

En el curso de las últimas dos generaciones (1962-2009) la sociedad dominicana ha experimentado una rápida transición cultural que la ha catapultado hacia un mundo globalizado. Un mundo en que muchos países marchan, cada vez más rápidamente, hacia lo que Arnold Toynbee llamó hace más de cincuenta años "la occidentalización del planeta".
This week, Tony and Al philosophize about the fountain of youth as they unpack the documentary Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles; then Al talks about why it wasn't worth it to go and see Skyfall while beleaguered by mononucleosis.

Arnold Toynbee's Oxford lectures on the 'Industrial Revolution' were once thought to have been responsible for coining and diffusing an idea that has remained essential to students of British history since the lectures were posthumously published in 1882. Toynbee has also been credited with transmitting an interpretation of the revolution that became known, in the words of E. P. Thompson, as 'classical catastrophic orthodoxy'. In this lecture, Donald Winch re-examines Toynbee's role as historian of catastrophe and his remedies for dealing with its consequences with the aim of establishing the nineteenth-century political, moral, and intellectual context within which his interpretation of the industrial revolution can best be understood.
