We continue our project of reading ALL of God's word for our listeners. The book of Daniel is a favorite because of its amazing stories and prophetic visions, but it is also rich in detail and historical context. It opens circa 605 BC, timestamped as "the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah." Jehoiakim, born as Eliakim, was the second-born son of the great reformer Josiah, who died in a rash attempt to prevent Pharoah Neco from passing through his kingdom to attack the Assyrians. The people of Judah (apparently) bypassed Jehoiakim for his younger brother, Jehoahaz (Jehovah his sustainer), who reigned only three months, and then Pharaoh Neco took Jehoahaz captive to Egypt and placed Josiah's older brother, Eliakim (God will establish), on the throne, but renaming him Jehoiakim (Jehovah will establish). Jehoiakim would reign for eleven years. Confused? It only gets worse. But ... it is extremely important to "get" the historical details here if you want to understand the Bible as the historical book it claims to be. Life in this vale of tears is not neat, but it does follow interesting patterns at all levels of resolution. Two more kings of Judah will follow, Jehoiachin (son of Jehoiakim) and Zedekiah (born Mattaniah, the youngest son of Josiah, renamed by Nebuchadnezzar). Length of reigns? 3 months (Jehoiachin) and 11 years (Zedekiah). See the pattern? What does it mean? If you have ideas, please let us know! Jenny and I have learned that there are no mistakes or haphazard elements in God's word. Another interesting element of the timestamp is that the third year of Jehoiakim is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign over Bablyon. He was apparently attacking Egypt when his father, Nabopolassar, died. He probably stopped - on his way back to Babylon to be crowned king - to ravage Jerusalem and take Daniel and the other members of the royal family and nobility of Judah captive to Babylon. This means that Daniel and his friends were only in the second year of their three year course of studies to be "wise men" of the Chaldeans when they interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in chapter two! When we recognize this, these verses in chapter one takes on new meaning and significance: As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. Daniel 1:17–20 (ESV) God is indeed faithful to bless His people when they remain faithful to Him. "Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says YHWH of hosts." As usual, here is a good summary of the Book of Daniel that we highly recommend: https://youtu.be/9cSC9uobtPM?si=7DfciDVCCpbmkb62 May the Lord add richly to your knowledge of Him as you study!

Life in this vale of tears is not neat, but it does follow interesting patterns at all levels of resolution. Two more kings of Judah will follow, Jehoiachin (son of Jehoiakim) and Zedekiah (born Mattaniah, the youngest son of Josiah, renamed by Nebuchadnezzar). Length of reigns? 3 months (Jehoiachin) and 11 years (Zedekiah). See the pattern? What does it mean? If you have ideas, please let us know! Jenny and I have learned that there are no mistakes or haphazard elements in God's word. Another interesting element of the timestamp is that the third year of Jehoiakim is the first year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign over Bablyon. He was apparently attacking Egypt when his father, Nabopolassar, died. He probably stopped - on his way back to Babylon to be crowned king - to ravage Jerusalem and take Daniel and the other members of the royal family and nobility of Judah captive to Babylon. This means that Daniel and his friends were only in the second year of their three year course of studies to be "wise men" of the Chaldeans when they interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in chapter two! When we recognize this, these verses in chapter one takes on new meaning and significance: As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. Daniel 1:17–20 (ESV) God is indeed faithful to bless His people when they remain faithful to Him. "Return unto me, and I will return unto you, says YHWH of hosts." As usual, here is a good summary of the Book of Daniel that we highly recommend: https://youtu.be/9cSC9uobtPM?si=7DfciDVCCpbmkb62 May the Lord add richly to your knowledge of Him as you study!

We continue our project of reading ALL of God's word for our listeners. The book of Daniel is a favorite because of its amazing stories and prophetic visions, but it is also rich in detail and historical context. It opens circa 605 BC, timestamped as "the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah." Jehoiakim, born as Eliakim, was the second-born son of the great reformer Josiah, who died in a rash attempt to prevent Pharoah Neco from passing through his kingdom to attack the Assyrians. The people of Judah (apparently) bypassed Jehoiakim for his younger brother, Jehoahaz (Jehovah his sustainer), who reigned only three months, and then Pharaoh Neco took Jehoahaz captive to Egypt and placed Josiah's older brother, Eliakim (God will establish), on the throne, but renaming him Jehoiakim (Jehovah will establish). Jehoiakim would reign for eleven years. Confused? It only gets worse. But ... it is extremely important to "get" the historical details here if you want to understand the Bible as the historical book it claims to be. Life in this vale of tears is not neat, but it does follow interesting patterns at all levels of resolution. Two more kings of Judah will follow, Jehoiachin (son of Jehoiakim) and Zedekiah (born Mattaniah, the youngest son of Josiah, renamed by Nebuchadnezzar).

Isaiah 42:3a A bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out. We thought yesterday about how we often associate loudness with power. In a similar way, the world often expects an effective leader to be somewhat ruthless, interested only in strength and achievement and dismissing the weak and needy. In Isaiah's time, God's people were a tiny nation, helpless in comparison with the likes of Assyria, Bablyon and Egypt. Surely they needed God to send them a mighty, victorious king to lead them, like the great King David? Someone to bring them military success, marking them out as a force to be reckoned with. But God's plan is different. He promises them a gentle, quiet leader who will protect life rather than destroy it. One who will value the weak and vulnerable rather than the strong and successful. I wonder if Isaiah's first hearers struggled to get excited about the prospect - perhaps they'd have preferred a more-impressive sounding solution to their problems. Similarly today, those who preach a message of ‘health, wealth and happiness' sound far more appealing than those who invite us to follow a crucified outcast. If we like to think we are powerful and success, a gentle leader who keeps stopping to gather up the broken won't be very attractive. We'd much rather live under a system that promises to reward our achievements and ignores those who don't make the grade. But once we admit that we ourselves are weak and helpless, it's a different story. When we know that we're more like a smouldering wick, barely flickering, than a blazing fire, ready to set the world alight, then we will welcome the one who breathes gently on us to sustain us, rather than snuffing us out. When we acknowledge that we are dead in sin we will long for a rescuer who helps the helpless, rather than one who rewards those who help themselves. There will come a day when this servant will return in blazing glory to crush his enemies forever, but how gracious of him to come first in gentleness and humility, to heal and help and forgive. Let's thank him for that today and come to him honestly, in all our frailty and need, trusting that he welcomes, not despises, those who know that they are weak.

First, chewing betel nut in Guam, an acupuncturist adjustment gone wrong, new shows MR. AND MRS. SMITH and THE REGIME, on HBO and a 22-year-old model who had a creepy encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio.   Then Actor/Comedian Rory Scovel returns to the show to talk to with Mase & Sue about his new HBO MAX standup special RELIGION, SEX AND A FEW THINGS IN BETWEEN. They discuss what inspired the controversial topics, his improvisational style, being the product of a bible belt upbringing, audience artistic entitlement, being married to a witch, how family members deal with his racy subject matter, being cast in the movie BABLYON, self-taped auditions, and his lucrative pandemic driven painting obsession.   

Bo Noonan finishes up our series Life in Bablyon by teaching through Daniel 10-12. In these verses we have more apocalyptic and prophetic teaching from Daniel. Once again, we need to remember that this type of teaching is full of symbolism, but that symbolism is meant to point us to the final victory of Jesus and not to confusion and fear. As the book of Daniel finishes, we see that even when chaos is all around, God is still working good and working his plan. This perspective helps us: even if most of the chapters of our lives are painful, we have a promise from God that, in the end, it will all make sense because he is both the author and perfecter of our faith.

TCW Podcast Episode 204 - Exploring the Mass Effect   In part one of a two-part exploration of the original Mass Effect trilogy, the game emerges as a synthesis of diverse influences from literary books, video games, art styles, TV shows, and movies. Drawing heavily from Bablyon 5 and the TV series 24, the main framework of Mass Effect reflects a blend of narrative inspirations. The art style, inspired by luminaries such as architect Santiago Calatrava, futurist Syd Mead, and John Harris, contributes to the game's visually captivating universe. The initial year of development was dedicated to crafting a compelling hard sci-fi universe. A key goal was to imbue the game with cinematic qualities and broaden its audience appeal, challenging the conventions of RPGs at the time. The innovative use of a dialog wheel, featuring concise words to convey dialog choices, coupled with full voice acting for both player characters and the main protagonist, marked significant strides in the gaming landscape.   KOTR in 3 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTCSPo7ZuSE SCTV YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFb0L4MQziTjEsJKTbFgm8Q The Wild Life - Rick Moranis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mM9qvLYeI8 Rick Moranis - SNL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzeyvaj1FiM "The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3": https://me3finalhours.com/#:~:text=Q%3A%20What%20is%20the%20Final,creative%20process%20behind%20the%20games.

Dorrisville Baptist Church

Andy Cooley teaches through Daniel chapter 2 in our series Life in Babylon. Here we see Daniel and his three friends coming face to face with a situation that puts their faith to the test...not for the last time. As a people who have been removed from their homes and are being actively indoctrinated by an evil culture, how will they react? God, in his wisdom, sends letters from the prophet Jeremiah to speak clearly to his people in exile. Through these letters, faith is strengthened and a call to "do good in the city of Bablyon" is lived out by Daniel and his friends. They submit to God's ways and exchange their understanding of the world for his.

Bo Noonan kicks off Life in Bablyon, a new series through the book of Daniel. In this series we will see how to be a faithful witness of Jesus and his ways in times of moral corruption, spiritual confusion, and political fragmentation...like the times we live in today. As we begin the series, we get context for the dire situation and the amazing faith that gets lived out as a group of young men trust God himself to be their hero. We also see that whenever the culture of Babylon - a biblical term for any non-biblical colonising culture - tries to form us into its image, we can learn to engage in faith, rather than assimilating into or separating from the culture. This truth will be a main theme as the series progresses.

Steve Olsen, Andrew Self, and Drew Taylor look deeper into what it means to live in Babylon from the sermon on Revelation 17.

Daniel and his young friends were not in a fight against Babylon, they were in a fight to maintain their identity as children of God. He “requested” to not eat of the King's delicacies. “He Purposed in his heart”. It wasn't about defiling his body as it was about defiling his heart. A heart that loves the Lord, trusts the Lord, and therefore obeys the Lord has no difficulty making the right choices. Daniel withstood Compromise because he was focused, Let us then focus on the important things like Daniel. We must be: Focused on growing Focused on worshipping Focused on being consistent Focused on Loving FOCUSed ON THE GLORY When it came to face the darkest day, he went to his “room”, which faced his PAST/PRESENT and above all his FUTURE. He was focused on “Jerusalem”, he ensured his room was pointing towards his “promise”, wanting to see it fulfilled in Bablyon.

Week 2 of Thriving in Babylon. Daniel 2 How Daniel Influence Babylon Will you survive or will we thrive in Babylon?

This week's training notes: This week, your group will be studying Unit 2, Session 4, A People Scattered, which explores the rebellious nature of sin as you study the Tower of Babel, or Bablyon, narrative from Genesis 10-11. Here are your three things to know, read, and do as you prepare for this week's session:... The post Weekly Leader Training for Adults: Unit 2, Session 4—A People Scattered appeared first on The Gospel Project.

Isaiah 21 Sermon Notes:1) The Watchman's Conflict, 1-10 2) The Watchman's Call, 11-12 3) The Watchman's Cautionary Tale, 13-17 Reflection questions:1. How must Isaiah have felt about the people who were the object of his bad news (the oracle of Bablyon's destruction?) Read Is 21:2-4. 2. Compare Is 21:3-4 with Jesus's words in Luke 19:41-44. For whom does Jesus lament? What is He doing and where is He going as He says those words? (See Luke 19:41; 19:28; 19:11; 18:31-34.) 3. God warns foreign nations in this passage of coming judgment. Where should we turn to be shielded from God's judgment? Read Psalm 2:9-12 and reflect upon this comment from Derek Kidner: “There is no refuge from him, only in him.” (IVP Commentaries, vol 14a: Psalms 1-72)

Join us for this next episode in the book of Isaiah as we walk through the dense parts of this book, hoping to explain some of the foreign themes in Isaiah. Today were are talking about Bablyon and how Babylon can mean different things in different contexts. Noah explains a lot of the imagery surrounding how the ancient people's thought about the afterlife and also how this chapter is intended to show the futility of human strength and power.

Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. [4] So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.              Habakkuk's conversation with the Lord reveals God's perfect justice and our need to trust Him no matter what.       The flow of Habakkuk 1:1-2:4      Habakkuk- “Lord, why aren't you intervening to stop the sin in Judah?       The Lord- “I will stop it…and I will use Bablyon to do so.”       Habakkuk- “Wait. Seriously, Lord? Babylon?”       The Lord- “Trust me”

Isaiah 42:3aA bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out.We thought yesterday about how we often associate loudness with power. In a similar way, the world often expects an effective leader to be somewhat ruthless, interested only in strength and achievement and dismissing the weak and needy. In Isaiah's time, God's people were a tiny nation, helpless in comparison with the likes of Assyria, Bablyon and Egypt. Surely they needed God to send them a mighty, victorious king to lead them, like the great King David? Someone to bring them military success, marking them out as a force to be reckoned with.But God's plan is different. He promises them a gentle, quiet leader who will protect life rather than destroy it. One who will value the weak and vulnerable rather than the strong and successful. I wonder if Isaiah's first hearers struggled to get excited about the prospect - perhaps they'd have preferred a more-impressive sounding solution to their problems. Similarly today, those who preach a message of ‘health, wealth and happiness' sound far more appealing than those who invite us to follow a crucified outcast. If we like to think we are powerful and success, a gentle leader who keeps stopping to gather up the broken won't be very attractive. We'd much rather live under a system that promises to reward our achievements and ignores those who don't make the grade. But once we admit that we ourselves are weak and helpless, it's a different story. When we know that we're more like a smouldering wick, barely flickering, than a blazing fire, ready to set the world alight, then we will welcome the one who breathes gently on us to sustain us, rather than snuffing us out. When we acknowledge that we are dead in sin we will long for a rescuer who helps the helpless, rather than one who rewards those who help themselves.There will come a day when this servant will return in blazing glory to crush his enemies forever, but how gracious of him to come first in gentleness and humility, to heal and help and forgive. Let's thank him for that today and come to him honestly, in all our frailty and need, trusting that he welcomes, not despises, those who know that they are weak.

Where do we go from here? That question has perhaps never been as relevant or as painful within the Whedony community as it is right now. It’s a difficult time to be a fan, as the recent and continuing alegations and revelations about the man that has, so far, given this entire fandom its name, force us to reckon with some hard truths. I thought this podcast could continue with perhaps just a passing mention of the controversy, but it quickly became clear that I, and thankfully some much smarter people than myself, would have to address this head on. And so I welcome you to this Very Special Episode of Conversations with Dead People. I ramble on uselessly, as usual, but two of my very favoritest people in the world, let alone the field of Whedon Studies, Nikki Stafford and Dale Guffey join me to talk about how and why all of this feels so much more personal than similar fallen pop culture icons; what, if anything, I should do with this podcast going forward; and what we think this might all mean for the Whedon Studies Association. It’s a horribly unpleasant topic of conversation, made so much more enjoyable by having it with such wonderful people.   NEXT: Dale is sticking around to record the podcast we’d PLANNED to record this week. We’ll be continuing our journey through Angel: The Series with episodes 103, “In the Dark,” 104, “I Fall to Pieces,” and 105, “Rm w/a Vu.”     LIBRARY Bite Me!: The Unofficial Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Seven Seasons One Book), by Nikki Stafford Once Bitten: An Unofficial Guide to the World of Angel, by Nikki Stafford Faith and Choice in the Works of Joss Whedon, by K.

  Advancing Thru Adversity #0  Know It – Who I Am By Louie Marsh, 11-15-2020   A college student was unhappy that he had to take a course in ornithology, which is a study of birds. This class had the reputation of being the most difficult class in the whole curriculum. And the professor was an extremely difficult professor. Everybody feared him. But it was a required course. As the course began, the professor announced there would be a test in 40 days & it would compose a large portion of the grade. Everybody studied. They took copious notes. They made sure they understood everything the professor said.  On the 40th day the students filed into the lecture hall extremely nervous. On the stage was a table with 5 cages on it. Each cage had a cover & beneath the cover they could see the feet & spindly legs of a bird.  At the sound of the bell, the professor addressed the students, “Here’s the test. You can see there are 5 birds & they’re all covered except for their feet & legs. You must tell me the identity of each of those 5 birds by looking only at their feet & legs.” Everyone had studied long & hard, but no one had anticipated such a test. And they were all sweating, trying to remember something, anything, that could help them pass the test.  Finally, one student stood up & said, “This is ridiculous. This is the craziest test I have every seen, & you’re the worst professor in this whole school.” He said, “I quit. I‘m out of here. I’m not going to take this test.” And he turned & walked toward the door. “Just a minute young man.” said the professor. “Who are you? I demand your name right now.” The young man stopped, took a long look at the professor & then pulling up both of his pant legs said, “You tell me."   1) START with a big question: WHO AM I?   "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV)   SHOW BONHOEFFER PICTURE & POEM   Who Am I? by Dietrich Bonhoeffer   Who am I? They often tell me I stepped from my cell’s confinement Calmly, cheerfully, firmly, Like a squire from his country-house. Who am I? They often tell me I used to speak to my warders Freely and friendly and clearly, As though it were mine to command. Who am I? They also tell me I bore the days of misfortune Equally, smilingly, proudly, Like one accustomed to win.   Am I then really all that which other men tell of? Or am I only what I myself know of myself? Restless and longing and sick, like a bird in a cage, Struggling for breath, as though hands were compressing my throat, Yearning for colors, for flowers, for the voices of birds, Thirsting for words of kindness, for neighborliness, Tossing in expectation of great events, Powerlessly trembling for friends at an infinite distance, Weary and empty at praying, at thinking, at making, Faint, and ready to say farewell to it all?   Who am I? This or the other? Am I one person today and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others, And before myself a contemptibly woebegone weakling? Or is something within me still like a beaten army, Fleeing in disorder from victory already achieved? Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine. Whoever I am, Thou knowest, 0 God, I am Thine!   Bablyon 5 – Vorlons & Shadows – The Shadows always asked, “What do you want?”  Vorlon’s always asked, “Who are you?”   2) UNDERSTAND what Jesus said.   “You – you alone are the salt of the earth…” Matt. 5:13 (RCH Lenski translation)   ONLY BELIEVERS are Salt & Light   I AM Salt & Light!   Not SHOULD, COULD, OUGHT   SHOW YODA PIC/QUOTE Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'  - Yoda (Fictional Star Wars Thing/Dude   Salt changes the nature of what it’s applied too. Light changes how we perceive reality.     3) CHOOSE to believe Jesus.   But if you don't want to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Even if you choose the gods your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live, my family and I will still serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 (GW)   Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." Mark 9:50 (ESV)   4) REFUSE to be discouraged.   7  But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8  We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (ESV)   Throughout Western history, Christianity has endured seasons when our faith should have been forever defeated, if not obliterated. The church of Jesus Christ should have had a funeral with the fall of the Roman Empire, the spread of Islamic armies, the Enlightenment, political upheaval in Europe, or the philosophical attacks led by Marx, Darwin, Hume, Nietzsche, and Freud. But God brings dead things to life, and at the heart of our faith is belief in resurrection. InRead more at location 2979   Top of Form Bottom of Form The truth is, the world we live in today is a lot like the first-century context in which Christianity flourished. The Romans worshiped their nation and political leader; Pontius Pilate asked, “What is truth?”[234]; Paul encountered an “unknown god”[235]; the Greeks were openly pro-gay; the Ephesians were converted from witchcraft and demonic spirituality; and the Corinthian Christians needed to stop their cross-dressing and cancel their memberships at the pagan temples. But the gospel—the same gospel that’s alive and well today—transformed lives and spread despite all the conflict.   16  So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17  For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18  as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (ESV)   In order to do ministry in the odd world of intolerant tolerance, Bible-believing Christians will need to toughen up and turn the other cheek—rather than crumple in a heap—when slapped with words like hateful, bigoted, intolerant, shameful, cruel, unloving, homophobic, prejudiced, discriminatory, and more. Jesus told us to love our enemies; his assumption was that we would have enemies to love. Top of Form   The tolerant god is curiously tolerant of everyone and everything except the real God—because the tolerant god is the same serpent who appeared in the Garden so long ago   5) PROVE I believe it.   14  My brothers and sisters, what good does it do if someone claims to have faith but doesn't do any good things? Can this kind of faith save him? 15  Suppose a believer, whether a man or a woman, needs clothes or food 16  and one of you tells that person, “God be with you! Stay warm, and make sure you eat enough.” If you don't provide for that person's physical needs, what good does it do? 17  In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it doesn't cause you to do any good things. 18  Another person might say, “You have faith, but I do good things.” Show me your faith apart from the good things you do. I will show you my faith by the good things I do. 19  You believe that there is one God. That's fine! The demons also believe that, and they tremble with fear. James 2:14-19 (GW)

The Fall of Religious Bablyon.

2 Kings 24: Three Kings of Judah | Amid the reigns of Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar invaded Judah from Bablyon twice. The second time, Nebuchadnezzar carried away everything from the Temple and forced the Jewish people in exhile. Journey 11 | Straying from God. In Journey Eleven, we follow Jesus' footsteps once again in Mark's gospel, while Colossians teaches us how to stay on that path today. In the OT, 2nd Kings follows a kingdom straying farther from the way, and Hosea delivers a powerful lesson about cheating on God. Romans, Micah, and more Proverbs round out this powerful Bible journey.

From ancient Bablyon to the Occult Revival, occultists have categorized demons and created formulae for their invocation and control. We follow the long thread of this tradition through the Book of Tobit, The Book of Enoch, the Testament of Solomon, and the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Joel Richardson joins Derek Gilbert to talk about his book Mystery Babylon.

Wednesday March 21, 2018 PM, Ezra 7-8.We started a brief study of Ezra in the book titled by his name, in chapters 7 and 8. In this message, we concern ourselves with an outline of the historical and political situation that surrounded Ezra's journey from Bablyon to Jerusalem.

"Black Panther" is probably the most anticipated Marvel superhero movie in years. And given how popular Marvel movies are that's no mean feat. So we brought Mike Sargent along to tell us all about it and what it means to the culture at large. Is it worth the hype. Then we look at the latest Netflix historical epic "Babylon Berlin" which shows us Germany inbetween world wars. And speaking of TV Bill McCuddy tells us about "Counterpart" which stars Oscar winner and insurance pitchman J.K Simmons. Neil teases us a bit about the second season of "A Handmaid's Tale" and tells us about the DVD release of "Wonder." Listen in!

I talk with Adam and Steve about the 3rd and 4th episodes of Bablyon 5 Season One.  Check out Distressor's "Just Breathe", they generously allowed us to use their music in our introduction.

Daniel 1:1-21

Ona Move! I greet you all who've gathered here today, at the 10th anniversary of the Founding of Jericho-the Movement to free all political prisoners -- and also to remember the life and work of an extraordinary sista -- the late, great, Safiya Bukhari. When she was here, all we could see was her in motion, working, leafleting, explaining, organizing -- all of these things -- ceaselessly! She was a quiet, intense, ubiquitous presence who seemed like a force of nature -- a cloud, a ray of summer sun, a force that would be there -- for quite a while, if not forever. But, in a blink, she was gone -- and only then did we recognize her strength, her iron will -- for with her gone, we felt a great void. And all of our movements suffered from her loss. But her passing shouldn't immobilize us; it should inspire us! For, though many of us thought of her as a Superwoman, she was, to quote Nietzsche, "Human, All Too Human." She laughed, she cried; she got angry, she was joyous; she got tired, she was energetic -- she was brilliant, and she made mistakes. But what made her remarkable was her commitment to all Political Prisoners (PP) and Prisoners of War (POW). On this, the 10th anniversary of its founding, let us all, in the spirit of Safiya, work to rebuild Jericho into a true social force. We owe it not just to Safiya Bukhari, but to ourselves. We owe it to our brothers and sisters in Bablyon's dungeons, like the MOVE 9, Jalil Muntaquin, Ruchell Magee, Russell 'Maroon' Shoatz, Hugo 'Yogi' Pinnell, Jamal Hart, and many other brothers and sistas, from various movements -like Leonard Peltier, the still -caged Puerto Rican independentistas -- and beyond. We must salute and join the efforts of Ashanti Alston and Kazi Toure, to help Jericho grow into a true liberation movement. Ona Move! Mumia Abu-Jamal (c) 10/7/08 Mumia Abu-Jamal
