At Shirat David we learned together another important section with the Lessons in Tanya that clarified our relationship with Hashem. Also, how speech being part of the Tzimtzum allows us to have autonomy and choose Hashem's Countenance or like the Klipah receive its substance from Behind.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 21, 2024 is: visage • VIZ-ij • noun Visage is a formal word that refers to someone's face or facial expression, or to the general appearance of something. // Manny was surprised to see the smiling visage of his childhood friend, now running for the state senate, beaming down from a billboard. // Don't be intimidated by the rugged visage of the mountain; it's accessible to climbers of all skill levels. See the entry > Examples: “[Keri] Russell was 22 when she was cast in the title role of Felicity. At the beginning of the series, her character was 17 years old, but thanks to Russell's preternaturally youthful visage (and that glorious head of hair!), she pulled it off believably.” — Jessica Sager, Parade, 7 Jan. 2024 Did you know? In “Ozymandias,” Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem, a traveller tells of a colossal statue's “shattered visage” lying half sunk in desert sands, going on to describe its “frown / And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command…” Now, Shelley could have simply chosen face over the more highfalutin synonym visage, but not only would face shatter the sonnet's iambic pentameter, but a formal-sounding word is sometimes preferable to a basic one for all kinds of reasons, including sound, tone, or simply the cut of its jib. Physiognomy, for instance, refers to facial features thought to reveal qualities of temperament or character, as when Emily Brontë writes in Wuthering Heights, “I thought I could detect in his physiognomy a mind owning better qualities than his father ever possessed.” Countenance, meanwhile, is often used to refer to the face as an indication of mood or emotion, as in Bram Stoker's Dracula: “Mina struggled hard to keep her brave countenance.” As all of these quotes attest, when it comes to wordsmithery, sometimes you've just got to vamp.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP445 Metatron & Enoch: A Comprehensive Exploration Metatron and Enoch are figures that span multiple religious traditions, particularly Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic mysticism. Their identities are often interwoven, with Metatron frequently being considered the heavenly version of Enoch. This article delves deeply into the scriptural, mystical, and historical contexts of these two enigmatic figures, examining their roles, significance, and the theological implications surrounding them. Enoch: The Human Precursor Enoch is a pre-flood patriarch mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. His most notable appearance is in the Book of Genesis: "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." (Genesis 5:24, NIV) This verse suggests an extraordinary relationship with God, implying that Enoch was taken to heaven without experiencing death. Enoch's brief mention in Genesis is expanded upon in other Jewish texts and traditions. Metatron: The Heavenly Transformation Metatron is a powerful and mysterious figure in Jewish mysticism, particularly in Kabbalistic tradition. He is often identified with the transformed Enoch, becoming an exalted angelic being after his earthly life. The earliest references to Metatron appear in the Talmud and later in the mystical text, the Sefer Hekhalot (Book of Palaces). In the Talmud, Metatron is depicted as a scribe and intermediary between God and humanity. One significant passage is found in the Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 38b, where Metatron is described as the "Prince of the Countenance" and is granted authority over other angels.

It's been said we will reflect what we've been placing our focus on. We can see this to be true on the faces of smiling babies that have had constant smiles being sent their way. They're reflecting what they're seeing, and it shows on their countenance. Next, look at those with disgruntled countenances. While that dissatisfied expression may not have come from constant angry looks sent to them, if fixation on everything going wrong has been priority, then that person has been staring into the face of the wrong thing. The countenance of people speaks. What does your countenance say about you? Have you been staring at the problems or the One with the solution to all problems?

Al-Insan ("Human") (alternative names: al-Dahr, "Endless time", Hal Ata, "Has There Not come") is the 76th chapter of the Quran, with 31 verses Recitation by Muhammad A hadith narrated by Abu Hurayra said that Muhammad used to recite Al-Insan together with As-Sajdah (chapter 32 of the Quran) for the early morning prayer (fajr) every Friday This report also appears in Tafsir Ibn Kathir The Noble Quran 1 Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned? 2 Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer 3 Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful 4 Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire 5 Verily, the Abrar (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kafur 6 A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly 7 They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading 8. And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive, 9 (Saying): “We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you 10 “Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)” 11 So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy 12 And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient 13 Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon) 14 And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach 15 And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal, 16 Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof according to their wishes 17 And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger, etc), 18 A spring there, called Salsabil 19 And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls 20 And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion 21 Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink 22 (And it will be said to them): “Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted” 23 Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you (O Muhammad ) by stages 24 Therefore be patient (O Muhammad ) and submit to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them 25 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and ‘Asr prayers] 26 And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and ‘Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer) 27 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard) 28 It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement 29 Verily! This (Verses of the Qur'an) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah) 30 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise 31 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zalimun, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc) He has prepared a painful torment

He will rule from Mystery Babylon, his seat shall rise in the United States of America and in fact he rises from their midst. A man who understands dark sayings, of no mercy or kindness. An absolute dictator, a "king in a time of few king"s. Hear the words of the Lord: Barack Obama will rise again to power in America and this time nobody will remove him until he is struck down and removed by the Lord. See Daniel 8:23- 25.

Père et fils, Christian Pahlavi et Pierre Pahlavi sont membres de l'ancienne famille impériale de l'Iran. Ils sont aussi historiens et c'est en historiens qu'ils retracent, dans Le Pont de la victoire : l'Iran dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'humiliation méconnue de leur pays pendant la guerre. Un récit qui se déploie sur quelque 400 pages, récit aussi passionnant que rare. RFI : Vous venez de publier, aux éditions Perrin, Le Pont de la victoire : l'Iran dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Qu'est-ce que la formule « Le Pont de la victoire », qui sert de titre à votre ouvrage, désigne réellement ? C'est la position géopolitique de l'Iran ou métaphore pour désigner le pays dans son ensemble ?Pierre Pahlavi : Je pense que, souvent, la paternité de l'appellation « Pont de la victoire » a été attribuée au Premier ministre britannique Winston Churchill. Il y a, derrière, la volonté d'utiliser l'Iran comme un aqueduc, comme une passerelle pour acheminer l'aide des alliés en faveur de Staline dans le cadre de la lutte contre l'Allemagne nazie. Il y a aussi une volonté d'oblitérer l'identité iranienne. Churchill utilisait la notion de « pont de la victoire » – « bridge to victory » –, mais il utilisait aussi la notion de « couloir perse » dans une volonté à peine déguisée de ne pas utiliser le mot « Iran ». Car, comme vous le savez, Reza Shah, qui était le souverain d'Iran à l'époque, avait décidé de renommer son pays « Iran », comme cela avait été le cas depuis l'Antiquité, et les Britanniques insistaient pour utiliser la notion de « couloir perse » pour dire c'est notre couloir, notre route stratégique.Christian Pahlavi : Alors, je crois que s'il s'agit d'une formule britannique pour dorer la pilule d'une expérience assez amère, celle pour les Iraniens de voir leur pays occupé et en renversant la situation et en leur disant que voilà, cette effraction n'est pas une effraction, c'est un cadeau qu'on est venu offrir. Je pense que l'expression a été reprise en persan. Les Iraniens connaissent sous le terme en persan Pol-é Pirouzi, ce qui, mot à mot, veut dire « Pont de la victoire ». Et sans ressentiment particulier. J'ai observé en Iran même cette attitude et en dehors d'Iran par la suite.La date fatidique de la remise de ce cadeau empoisonné est le 25 août 1941. Que s'est-il exactement passé le 25 août 1941 ?Pierre Pahlavi : Alors, à titre personnel, puisque c'était mon arrière-grand-père, Mohammed Saed Maraghei, qui était engagé à ce moment-là, aux toutes petites heures du matin du 25 août 1941, journée fatidique. Cet arrière-grand-père, qui est alors ambassadeur d'Iran à Moscou, est sommé de se présenter au Kremlin où Molotov le met en demeure et lui annonce que son pays va être envahi. L'explication est la suivante : selon les Soviétiques et les Britanniques, il y a une communauté de techniciens allemands qui sont actifs à Téhéran et on les accuse d'être une cinquième colonne au service de l'Allemagne nazie. Mais bien entendu, ce n'est qu'un prétexte pour justifier l'invasion et l'utilisation du territoire iranien à des fins stratégiques. Il fallait légitimer l'opération et c'est ce jour-là que ça se joue ce 25 août. Après plusieurs mois d'ultimatum et à la fin de l'été, les autorités iraniennes avaient accédé aux demandes des Alliés. Mais ce n'était pas suffisant, parce que de toute façon, la décision avait été prise. C'était là la chronique d'une invasion annoncée.Les Britanniques arrivent par le sud et les Russes par le nord…Pierre Pahlavi : Oui, c'est un conflit finalement extrêmement court. On parle parfois de la guerre des 33 jours du mois d'août 2006 entre Tsahal et le Hezbollah. On parle de la guerre des 40 jours récemment entre l'Azerbaïdjan et l'Arménie. Là, on a une appellation encore plus courte : c'est la guerre des quatre-vingts heures, la guerre des trois jours.L'occupation de l'Iran a lieu malgré la neutralité proclamée de ce pays dont les responsables n'ont eu de cesse de rappeler qu'ils ne souhaitaient pas prendre position dans cette guerre. Ni Churchill ni Staline ne tiennent compte de cette neutralité et lancent l'intervention pour, disaient-ils, punir l'Iran pour sa proximité historique avec l'Allemagne. Prétexte tout trouvé, au moment de l'invasion, les Alliés parlent de la présence sur le sol iranien de 3 000 Allemands, techniciens et espions confondus. Quelle était la réalité de cette présence ?Christian Pahlavi : Il est évident qu'il y avait, en tant que pays presque colonisé par l'Empire britannique, une certaine rancœur anglophobe et par voie de conséquence, immédiatement, il y avait une germanophilie qui était répandue au niveau du gouvernement, mais dans le peuple aussi. Et quant à la présence des espions allemands, ils étaient certainement beaucoup moins nombreux que ce qu'on a pu dire, mais il y avait partout en Asie des agents du Reich, aussi bien en Turquie qu'en Afghanistan ou même en Inde et dans les pays arabes, etc. Mais les intérêts en perspective pour les Alliés étaient tels que cela valait le coup de les monter en épingle et d'en faire un casus belli en fait, finalement.Dans votre essai, vous parlez toutefois de germanophilie viscérale des Iraniens basée d'une part sur la fascination partagée pour l'héritage aryen des Persans et une coopération technologique intense entre l'Allemagne et l'Iran. Expliquez-nous.Pierre Pahlavi : Il y avait effectivement des liens communs, des liens culturels entre l'Iran et l'Allemagne, qui prédatent d'ailleurs l'avènement du régime nazi. Reza Shah était germanophile même durant la République de Weimar et bien avant. Les Iraniens n'ont pas attendu le 30 janvier 1933 pour développer un amour pour l'Allemagne. Et puis j'ajouterai que comme partout à travers l'Eurasie, il y a des éléments qui tiennent à l'aryanité. En Inde, il y a des croix gammées. Ça ne fait pas de l'Inde un pays pro-nazi. Mais les Britanniques ont eu beau jeu d'instrumentaliser cette proximité pour suggérer une connivence, alors que cette connivence n'existait pas. Reza Shah n'était absolument pas, ne tombait absolument pas dans les fantasmes racistes du IIIe Reich.Christian Pahlavi : Non, il n'y a aucune, si vous permettez, collusion entre l'Iran de Reza Shah et le IIIe Reich. Il n'y a eu ni traité politique, ni échange de médailles, ni voyages, ni échanges de voyages, ni rencontres entre Reza Shah et Hitler.Pendant la guerre, c'est par l'Iran que transite le ravitaillement massif de Staline en armes par les Anglo-Américains. Vous écrivez qu'entre l'invasion de l'Iran en 1941 et la fin de la guerre, cinq millions de tonnes de matériel militaire et d'approvisionnement ont transité par ce fameux « Persian corridor ». D'une certaine façon, sans l'occupation de l'Iran, la victoire des Alliés aurait sans doute été retardée, voire compromise, non ?Pierre Pahlavi : Absolument. Il suffit de regarder une carte du monde pour se rendre compte que la voie la plus rapide pour contourner l'Allemagne nazie et apporter cette aide logistique, militaire, économique, mais aussi ce soutien psychologique, c'est l'Iran, c'est l'isthme iranien, à travers le territoire iranien et le Caucase. C'est la route la plus rapide de la Caspienne pour apporter cette aide. Et donc l'Iran a aussi payé le prix de sa situation géographique.Christian Pahlavi : Je pense que dans le plan de cette occupation, qui est capitale dans l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il y a du sang russe, il y a du matériel américain et il y a de l'intelligence britannique, il faut mettre « l'intelligence » entre guillemets. Et il y a le territoire iranien. Or, c'est le seul élément qui n'est pas librement consenti, les autres l'étaient. Les Russes donnent leur sang avec générosité. Les Anglais donnent leur intelligence avec et sans parcimonie. Les Américains fournissent tout le matériel qu'on leur demande. Mais l'Iran n'a rien demandé et a beaucoup servi.Dans votre récit, c'est le souverain iranien de l'époque, Reza Shah, fondateur de la dynastie Pahlavi, qui émerge comme la principale victime de cet épisode de conflit mondial, alors qu'il avait été mis en place par les Anglais en 1921 et qu'il sera destitué par les mêmes Anglais vingt ans plus tard. Il partira en exil et ne reverra plus son pays. C'est un destin quasi-shakespearien ?Pierre Pahlavi : En fait, je dirais que Reza Shah a payé le prix d'être un patriote et d'être jaloux de l'indépendance de l'Iran et il l'a payé cher.Christian Pahlavi : Voilà un homme qui est tout de même chassé de chez lui. Il monte sur un petit bateau qui fait du cabotage et il cherche avec ce petit bateau à débarquer à Calcutta, mais les Anglais arraisonnent son bateau, l'arrêtent et le font monter dans un bateau britannique, parce que, disent-ils, Reza Shah menace de rencontrer le Mahatma Gandhi et que le tiers-monde va se révolter. On le conduit à l'île Maurice comme un prisonnier. On lui montre sur la carte : « Voilà, Maurice est là ! » Il dit les Anglais veulent me conduire parmi les lions et les crocodiles.Pierre Pahlavi : Quand Roosevelt et Churchill se rencontrent, je pense que c'est à la conférence de Québec, avant la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Roosevelt demande à Churchill : « Alors, qu'est-il advenu de ce roitelet que nous avons mis en place ? » Et Churchill lui répond : « Empire donné, empire repris ». Enfin, si vous me permettez, je pense qu'il y a une dernière victime dans cette opération, l'opération « Countenance » codirigée et menée par les forces soviétiques et britanniques, c'est l'indépendance nationale de l'Iran. Et il y a véritablement une humiliation de la nation iranienne qui est à la source de ce qui se passe depuis maintenant plus d'un demi-siècle. Je pense que l'épisode que nous relatons dans notre livre est aux origines de la révolution iranienne, de la rancœur des Iraniens à l'égard de la communauté internationale, un manque de confiance, une certaine forme de paranoïa. Mais comme le disait Charles Dickens, les grands paranoïaques sont de grands lucides. Et c'est un scandale d'autant plus grand que le piétinement de la neutralité iranienne, le piétinement de l'indépendance nationale et de la souveraineté de l'Iran a lieu quelques semaines à peine après que Churchill et Roosevelt se soient rencontrés pour jeter les bases de la Charte des Nations unies, qui était précisément censée garantir la souveraineté, les frontières nationales. Alors, si ceux-là même qui établissent les bases du droit international les transgressent, on peut se demander quelle est la force de leurs mots et la réalité de leurs intentions.Que reste-t-il de cette guerre, de cette occupation humiliante dans la mémoire collective iranienne ?Christian Pahlavi : Je pense qu'il ne reste pas énormément de choses. Les Iraniens sont des gens pratiques et pragmatiques et lorsqu'ils ont compris qu'ils étaient envahis, occupés... Vous savez, si on pense au Japon de l'ère Meiji, ils ont pensé qu'il fallait tirer le maximum de positif de la situation, qu'ils avaient été battus, qu'ils étaient les plus faibles, leurs occupants leur tendaient la main et qu'il allait falloir collaborer. Je pense qu'il y a la révolte que nous ressentons, nous, je ne sais pas. Elle est peut-être celle de l'historien ou il y a peut-être l'âme de Reza Shah qui nous survole. On ne sait pas pourquoi. Mais le livre permettra de mesurer sans doute ce qu'il y a au fond des cœurs et des reins.Pierre Pahlavi : Oui, je dirais que l'épisode a été très largement oublié par les Iraniens, mais aussi du fait de la volonté d'oublier cet épisode qui n'est pas à l'honneur de la communauté internationale. Et j'ajouterai que Reza Shah reste, jusqu'à ce jour, un petit peu le symbole de la nation iranienne. Vous savez, dans le contexte des manifestations récentes sur la guerre du tchador, plusieurs fois son nom a été scandé. Ce n'est pas tellement en raison d'une nostalgie pour la dynastie Pahlavi, mais c'est vraiment en référence à un enfant du pays qui a essayé de faire triompher l'indépendance et la souveraineté nationale. Son nom est souvent cité dans les rues.Est-ce que dans le monde anglophone, il y a aujourd'hui une mémoire plus précise de l'occupation alliée de l'Iran ?Pierre Pahlavi : Quand on regarde la bibliographie qui est consacrée à cette question, il y a pour le moment très peu de livres qui ont été et qui ont eu pour sujet l'opération « Countenance ». Et quand c'est le cas, c'est précisément d'un point de vue très anglo-centrique, pour décrire le déroulement des opérations, la manière dont l'état-major qui était basé en Inde, à Simla, dans les Indes britanniques, coordonne les actions pour montrer que c'était bien organisé, bien planifié, avec peu de morts et que, finalement, ça a permis d'accélérer la défaite de l'Allemagne nazie. Mais il y a très peu de souci de représenter le point de vue iranien.Le Pont de la Victoire. L'Iran dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale, paru aux éditions Perrin, en février 2023.

This week: Thomas Hardy's poetry, featuring love, death and men that look like holly bushes. The poems referenced are ‘Exeunt Omnes', ‘A Light Snow-Fall After Frost' and ‘A Countenance'.

You might notice in your Bible that Psalm 43 has no title over it.  We believe that this is because Psalm 43 is a continuation of Psalm 42. Originally, they were one Psalm but the editors who compiled the Psalms, for whatever reason, divided them into two chapters. When you read them together it is obvious that they definitely go together with the same theme of the writer in exile longing to go back to worship in Jerusalem at the altar of God in the tabernacle. The writer is in a state of despair and you notice that he goes through three stages in finding relief and victory over his distress. He first expresses his thirst for God, for the living God, just like in a time of drought a deer would pant for water (Psalm 42:1-2). Next, he remembers that God is Jehovah and that no matter how dark it might seem, He will “command His lovingkindness in the daytime and give him a song in the night.” (Ps. 42:8). Now in Psalm 43, the writer knows that he can trust God to bring back his strength (Ps. 43:2), and the joy of worship (Ps. 43:4) even in this time of exile. My friend, you will never be disappointed when you decide to make the greatest desire and longing of your heart to be fellowship and worship with the LORD. Seeking the LORD with all your heart will take your mind off all the troubles and trials that surround you and release you to remember how great and awesome your God is. Then your faith will be renewed and strengthened, and you will put your trust in Him! In Psalm 43, the landscape changes a third time as the dawn announces the morning and reminds the psalmist of God's light and truth (v. 3). The Lord had led Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, and so His light and truth (faithfulness) would bring him back to Jerusalem. The innocent exile would be vindicated before his accusers and be rescued from an ungodly nation. His strength was in the Lord alone, the Rock of his salvation (42:9), and soon his despair would be replaced by joy. As they trust in the Lord, God's people must remember that His goodness and mercy follow them (23:6), and His light and truth lead them (Ps. 43:3; see 27:1; 26:3; 30:9; 40:10). God's "holy hill" is Mt. Zion, where God's sanctuary was located, the dwelling place of God. But the writer wasn't exulting simply in freedom from his enemies and a return to his native home, but in the privilege of visiting God's altar, offering his sacrifices, and praising the Lord. He has made great progress since he watched the deer seeking for water. The "living God" (42:2) became "the God of my life" (42:8), and now He is "God my exceeding joy... God, my God” (43:4). His focus is no longer on himself, his disappointments, or his circumstances, but on the Lord his God, and that makes all the difference. The refrain in 43:5 must not be read with the same dejected voice as 42:5 and 11, for faith in Jehovah has changed everything. These two chapters end again with this repeated phrase but with a different emphasis. "Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance, and my God." The word "help" can be translated "health." When by faith we see the face of God smiling upon us (Num. 6:22-27), our own countenance brightens up and becomes spiritually healthy. We know God is for us, that God will set us free and guide us to His holy city, where we shall worship Him and sing His praises. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). Our transformed, radiant countenance will reflect to the dark world around us the glorious presence of the Lord in our lives! God bless!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 13, 2023 is: countenance • KOWN-tun-unss • noun Countenance is a formal word that is most often used to refer to a person's facial expression, or to the face generally, especially as an indication of mood, emotion, or character. // Her cheerful countenance quickly put the lost visitors at ease. // I was struck by the professor's kind and curious bespectacled countenance. See the entry > Examples: “The film stars Emily Watson and Paul Mescal as mother Aileen and son Brian, whose isolated, tight-knit fishing village on the Irish coast is lovely and decrepit. ... Mescal's charming but cagey performance is as much a lure for the audience as for Aileen herself, and Watson is breathtaking to watch as the cycle of furies and fears and doubts warp her countenance.” — Lauren Puckett-Pope, ELLE, 30 Sept. 2022 Did you know? Let's face it: the countenance familiar to modern speakers does not bear an obvious resemblance to its Latin root continēre, meaning “to hold together” (a root it shares with contain). But the path between continēre and countenance becomes clearer when we think of the figurative “holding together” present in the idea of restraint. When countenance was first used in English (having traveled from Latin through Anglo-French) it referred to a person's appearance or behavior—their demeanor—which is a product of restraint, or the lack thereof. And from “demeanor” it was just a hop, skip, and a jump to “facial expression.” A few centuries after that development, in the late 16th century, countenance faced a new task head-on—use as a verb meaning “to extend approval or toleration to.”
