Ngày 28/02/2026, khi mở chiến dịch không kích ồ ạt chưa từng có « Epic Furry » chống Iran và giết chết nhiều lãnh đạo cao cấp hàng đầu của nước này, Hoa Kỳ và Israel đặt ra mục tiêu rất rõ ràng : Lật đổ chế độ thần quyền có từ năm 1979. Tuy nhiên, từ sau Thế chiến thứ II đến cuộc chiến Irak năm 2003 và gần đây nhất là chiến tranh Ukraina, lịch sử đã chứng minh rằng các cuộc không chiến không nhất thiết hiệu quả trong việc làm suy yếu một chế độ và bẻ gãy sự hậu thuẫn mà người dân dành cho chế độ đó. Hầu hết giới chuyên gia có chung một nhận xét: Hoa Kỳ và Israel tiến hành chiến dịch không kích quy mô lớn, ngoài mục tiêu phá hủy các cơ sở hạt nhân và quân sự của Iran, còn nhằm dẫn đến việc thay đổi chế độ. Nhưng đằng sau chiến lược quân sự này là một học thuyết từ lâu đã bị bác bỏ nhưng giờ đây đang được các nhóm tân bảo thủ ở Washington hồi sinh : Huyền thoại về việc « thay đổi chế độ » bằng « ưu thế trên không », đã được vị tướng người Ý Giulio Douhet (1869 – 1930) phát triển trong những năm 1920. Huyền thoại sáng lập : Douhet và « cuộc chiến trên không » Tuần báo Pháp L'Express nhắc lại, vào năm 1921, trong tác phẩm nổi tiếng « Thế thống trị trên không » (Il dominio dell'aria), nhà lý luận người Ý này đã viết : « Giành được ưu thế trên không có nghĩa là chiến thắng, bị đánh bại trên không là thất bại ». Theo ông, không một loại vũ khí nào – cả phòng không lẫn chiến đấu cơ – có thể ngăn chặn một cuộc chiến trên không quy mô lớn. Những cuộc không kích này cho phép giành chiến thắng bằng cách ném bom vào hậu phương và các trung tâm kinh tế (công nghiệp, kho hàng, đường sắt) và quân sự (kho đạn, sở chỉ huy), tóm lại là những cơ sở trọng yếu của đối phương, cũng như là bằng cách ném bom thường dân để bẻ gãy tinh thần của họ. Các quốc gia đối địch sẽ buộc phải khuất phục, hay trong trường hợp của Iran, khi dự báo một sự nổi dậy của người dân để ngăn chặn các cuộc oanh kích và đi đến một sự thay đổi chế độ. Theo giải thích từ nhà nghiên cứu Nicolas Minvielle, chuyên gia về đổi mới và quốc phòng (Audencia) trên trang The Conversation, nhìn chung, tầm nhìn này của Douhet được dựa trên một giả thuyết đơn giản : « Nỗi sợ hãi hủy diệt ý chí tập thể ». Nhưng thực tế thì sao ? Học thuyết hiện đại về cưỡng chế trên không Nghiên cứu của nhà chính trị học người Mỹ, Robert A. Pape, về các chiến dịch không kích trong thế kỷ XX (Bombing to Win. Air Power and Coercion in War, 1996) cho thấy tiến triển mới của huyền thoại « thắng cuộc bằng không chiến », được thể hiện qua ba chiến lược khác nhau. Ý tưởng ở đây là xác định xem trong thời gian đầu, mục tiêu thực sự đằng sau việc sử dụng vũ khí không quân là gì, để có thể đánh giá các hiệu quả. Trong lô-gic này, Pape đề xuất ba chọn lựa : Thứ nhất là « trừng phạt », bằng cách tấn công thường dân nhằm giáng những nỗi đau khổ và gây ra các áp lực chính trị nội bộ. Đây là phiên bản đương đại của mô hình Douhet. Thứ hai là « mạo hiểm » (leo thang dần dần). Đe dọa tăng dần các cuộc không kích nhằm tạo ra một sự bất định và nỗi lo sợ hủy diệt hoàn toàn. Và sau cùng là « tước mất », nghĩa là phá hủy các năng lực quân sự, hậu cần và chiến lược, ngăn chặn đối phương đạt được các mục tiêu của mình. Phần lớn các nghiên cứu của Pape về những chiến dịch oanh tạc đã chỉ ra rằng những hoạt động quân sự trên không dựa vào ý tưởng trừng phạt dân sự gần như luôn thất bại và những chiến dịch nào nhằm mục tiêu ngăn chặn các hành động quân sự của đối phương đều cho thấy hiệu quả. Nói cách khác, sự cưỡng chế có hiệu quả khi nhằm làm thay đổi một tính toán chiến lược, chứ không phải khi nhằm bẻ gãy tinh thần. Sự khác biệt này là cơ bản, bởi vì nếu mục tiêu bị nhầm, hiệu quả như mong đợi sẽ không có. Điều này được thấy rõ trong nhiều cuộc chiến suốt thế kỷ XX từ chiến dịch « Rolling Thunder » của Mỹ ở Việt Nam (1965 – 1968), các đợt thả bom của Mỹ trong chiến tranh Vùng Vịnh 1991, chiến dịch của NATO ở Kosovo, hay  chiến tranh xâm lược Ukraina do Nga phát động năm 2022 và gần đây nhất là cuộc chiến Iran do Mỹ và Israel tiến hành. « Ưu thế trên không » và « Cấu trúc tinh thần » Vì sao chiến lược « ưu thế trên không » lại không mấy hiệu quả ? Nhà nghiên cứu Nicolas Minvielle cho rằng cần phải xem lại tác phẩm « The Structure of Morale », tạm dịch là Cấu trúc tinh thần, xuất bản năm 1943 của nhà phân tâm học J.T. MacCurdy. Khi phân tích phản ứng của người dân Anh trong suốt chiến dịch dội bom nổi tiếng Blitz (1940-1941) của không quân Đức chống Vương quốc Anh, ông phân biệt ba nhóm người sau một vụ nổ : Người chết (misses), Người suýt chết (near misses) và Người không bị ảnh hưởng (remote misses). Theo MacCurdy, các cuộc oanh kích tạo ra nhiều người sống sót hơn là nạn nhân, và sau nỗi sợ hãi ban đầu, quá trình thích nghi nhanh chóng hình thành. Người sống sót phát triển nhiều phản ứng khác nhau, từ cam chịu  đến cảm giác bất khả xâm phạm. Họ học hỏi được nhiều điều và quen dần với tình huống : Nỗi sợ hãi dữ dội của cú sốc ban đầu giảm đi, nếu nỗi sợ đó không liên tục gắn liền với sự hủy diệt cá nhân. Vượt quá một ngưỡng nhất định, sự tàn phá tiếp theo sẽ mang lại hiệu quả giảm dần. Tinh thần người dân có xu hướng tiến triển theo hướng thờ ơ hoặc chịu đựng, nhưng không phải là đầu hàng hay nổi dậy chống chế độ như lịch sử đã cho thấy. Thậm chí, theo Nicolas Minvielle, các chiến dịch dội bom ồ ạt còn phản tác dụng. Trong Chiến tranh Việt Nam, nghiên cứu của M.A. Kocher và các đồng nghiệp đã chứng minh rằng việc đánh bom làng mạc đã làm dịch chuyển quyền kiểm soát lãnh thổ sang Việt Cộng. Thiệt hại thường dân đã làm mất tính chính đáng của chính quyền Nam Việt Nam và củng cố lực lượng nổi dậy. Nỗi khiếp hãi tiếp thêm sức mạnh của đối phương. Đó cũng là những gì đã diễn ra tại Irak (2014) và Syria (2011) : Các cuộc không kích đã không mang lại hiệu quả như mong đợi mà có nguy cơ làm gia tăng sự đoàn kết với quân nổi dậy khi dân thường bị trúng bom. Và nhất là bạo lực trên không hiếm khi làm thay đổi lòng trung thành theo hướng mong muốn. Bất chấp một thế kỷ nghiên cứu thực nghiệm, chứng minh sự hủy diệt vật chất hiếm khi tự nó dẫn đến sự sụp đổ chế độ, ý tưởng cho rằng áp lực quân sự bên ngoài có tác động chính trị quyết định vẫn tồn tại. Nếu như giới lãnh đạo đương đại không còn nói đến « bẻ gãy tinh thần một dân tộc » nữa, và thường nói rằng làm suy giảm năng lực hay dồn dập gia tăng áp lực có thể làm suy yếu vĩnh viễn một cấu trúc quyền lực hiện có, đó là vì họ tin vào sức mạnh công nghệ, sức mạnh hữu hình và độ chính xác của vũ khí không quân và nhất là họ nhầm lẫn giữa cú sốc ban đầu với hiệu quả lâu dài. Cú sốc và hiệu quả lâu dài : Iran, ví dụ mới nhất Cú sốc và nỗi kinh hoàng tạo ra một tác động ngoạn mục nhưng không nhất thiết đi đến đầu hàng chính trị. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Nicolas Minveille, hiệu quả của chiến lược oanh kích không chỉ phụ thuộc vào năng lực hủy diệt, mà còn vào bản chất của đối phương : Chế độ chuyên chế hay dân chủ ; chiến tranh thông thường hay nổi dậy, xã hội phân mảnh hay gắn kết cao. Cùng một chiến dịch có thể tạo ra những hiệu quả hoàn toàn khác nhau tùy thuộc vào bối cảnh xung đột. Đây là những gì đang áp dụng cho cuộc chiến tại Iran. Daniel Block, biên tập viên cấp cao của tạp chí Đối ngoại, trên kênh truyền hình CBC News nhận định rằng, xét về mặt lịch sử, xác suất chế độ thần quyền bị sụp đổ vì « mưa bom » là rất thấp. Ông nêu ra ba lý do: « Đầu tiên, đơn giản là cho dù quý vị có ghét lãnh đạo của mình đến mức nào, nếu đất nước quý vị bị ném bom, các cuộc oanh kích chỉ sẽ làm suy yếu phe đối lập, bởi vì họ thực sự không muốn bị coi là đứng về phía những người đang tấn công đất nước mình. Tất nhiên, cũng có những ngoại lệ. Nếu lãnh đạo của quý vị đặc biệt bị khinh ghét, thì có một số người không cảm thấy áy náy khi đứng về phía thế lực tấn công. Và chắc chắn có những người như vậy ở Iran, những người quá tuyệt vọng và quá chán ngán với sự lãnh đạo của Khamenei đến nỗi họ chấp nhận điều này hoặc thậm chí hoan nghênh nữa. Nhưng lý do khác là việc ném bom để xóa sổ hoàn toàn năng lực đàn áp của một quốc gia là vô cùng khó khăn. Quý vị thực sự cần phải có quân đội trên bộ để loại bỏ vũ khí nhỏ, loại bỏ tất cả các loại bom, những thứ mà quý vị cần hủy diệt để dập tắt khả năng của chính quyền đàn áp biểu tình. Iran của có một năng lực đàn áp đáng kể. Điều cuối cùng, tôi nghĩ đáng chú ý trong trường hợp của Iran, đó là phe đối lập của nước này rất yếu. Họ bị chia rẽ. Chính quyền, một lần nữa, bởi vì họ có năng lực đàn áp mạnh mẽ nên đã rất hiệu quả trong việc dập tắt phản kháng và bỏ tù những người đối lập. Và nhất là những người chống chế độ, họ thực sự không hòa thuận với nhau. » Iran và Chiến lược « mở rộng rủi ro » Bất chấp những bài học lịch sử, chiến lược « ưu thế trên không » vẫn có sức hấp dẫn chính trị, hứa hẹn mang lại kết quả mà không cần đưa quân ồ ạt trên bộ, và do vậy không có những tổn thất. Nhưng đó chỉ là một sự ảo tưởng về sự cưỡng chế từ xa. Các cuộc tấn công của Mỹ vào những mục tiêu của Iran được chính thức coi là một phần của chiến lược làm suy yếu năng lực. Mỹ và Israel oanh tạc các cơ sở hạ tầng, năng lực quân sự, làm tê liệt nền kinh tế và thay đổi cán cân sức mạnh quân sự. Nhưng trong trường hợp của Iran, nhà chính trị học người Mỹ Robert A. Pape, trong một bài phân tích mới nhất đăng trên trang Foreign Affairs ngày 09/03/2026, lưu ý thêm rằng các đợt oanh kích « tiêu diệt » của Mỹ và Israel chẳng những không làm chế độ sụp đổ mà còn thúc đẩy nước này leo thang xung đột theo chiều ngang, với mục tiêu gia tăng ảnh hưởng chính trị. Theo đó, Iran trước hết chứng tỏ sức kháng cự bằng các cuộc không kích trả đũa ồ ạt, khẳng định tính chất liên tục của bộ chỉ huy và năng lực tác chiến cho dù nhiều lãnh đạo cao cấp hàng đầu bị triệt hạ. Sau đó, Iran mở rộng xung đột ra ngoài phạm vi lãnh thổ, tạo ra điều mà nhiều chuyên gia gọi là « gia tăng rủi ro », không chỉ oanh kích trả đũa Israel mà còn tấn công các nước láng giềng. Tiếp đến, Teheran chính trị hóa xung đột bằng các cuộc oanh kích dẫn đến việc đóng cửa các sân bay, thiêu đốt hàng hóa thương mại, gây thiệt hại tính mạng người lao động nước ngoài và gây xáo trộn thị trường năng lượng cũng như ngành bảo hiểm. Tại Mỹ, quy mô xung đột càng ngày càng lớn khiến nhiều thành viên Quốc Hội lo lắng. Và nhất là chiến sự lan rộng có nguy cơ lôi kéo nhiều tác nhân khác lao vào cuộc chiến vì những lợi ích khác nhau mà không có sự điều phối, có thể làm thay đổi dòng chảy xung đột, vượt ngoài tầm kiểm soát của Wahsington. Vế cuối cùng trong chiến lược của Iran là yếu tố thời gian. Áp lực đối với nhiều nước càng gia tăng, căng thẳng chính trị cả trong nội bộ các nước cũng như giữa các nước trong khu vực càng lớn, có nguy cơ làm trầm trọng thêm cuộc xung đột. Trong bối cảnh này, nhà chính trị học người Mỹ kết luận, khi phớt lờ những bài học lịch sử, Mỹ và Israel có nguy cơ gặp rắc rối to !

When most people picture hunger in America, they think of food pantries. Yet for every meal a pantry provides, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP – quietly supplies nine more. Formerly known as food stamps, SNAP is the nation's most effective anti-hunger initiative, helping more than 42 million Americans put food on the table each month. In Illinois alone, about 1.9 million people rely on SNAP, receiving an average monthly benefit of $192 per household. While designed to supplement rather than fully cover a family's food needs, SNAP remains a crucial lifeline for millions of low-income households — many of which include working adults, children, older adults, veterans, and people with disabilities. Beyond the direct benefit of helping families buy groceries, SNAP provides the financial breathing room to afford other essentials like rent, utilities, diapers, and medicine. SNAP is also an important contributor to Illinois's economy. Across the state, more than 8,000 retailers redeem more than $2 billion in SNAP benefits. These benefits don't just support SNAP participants, they are an important revenue source among our local grocers and their employees, many of whom live and spend money in the same community in which they work. It is estimated that every SNAP dollar generates about $1.50 in economic activity. Greater public understanding of SNAP ensures better policy decisions that sustain both family well-being and our region's economic health.In this episode of Trust Talks, we will explore the history of SNAP, discuss the economic impact of public benefits, and humanize the experience of our neighbors who depend on SNAP and other government support to meet their basic needs. The conversation is hosted by Aimee Ramirez, the Trust's director of policy change, and will feature John Bouman, director of Legal Action Chicago; Daniel Block, chair, Dept. of Geography, Sociology, and Africana Studies at Chicago State University; and Danielle Perry, vice president of policy and advocacy at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.This episode was produced by Juneteenth Productions and recorded at The Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub.

“So now, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people; I will have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard my hold reputation! They will accept responsibility for their past shame and unfaithfulness after they come home to live in peace in their own land, with no one to bother them. When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, I will display my holiness among them for all the nations to see. Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away to exile and brought them home again.” - Ezekiel 39:25-28My guest today has previously started his teaching on Ezekiel this way: “Why in the world would anybody want to read Ezekiel let alone study this unbelievable and incomprehensible book?” When I heard this - I immediately knew he was the guy I wanted to help us navigate this book. Ezekiel is a diamond in the rough in the canon of the prophets. It's message is similar to the prophets we've read already, Isaiah and Jeremiah, but with an element we hadn't quite seen before. Right away in chapter 1 Ezekiel says, “From the center of the cloud came four living beings that looked human, except that each had four faces and four wings.” Again - this is chapter 1. We're clearly off to something a little different with Ezekiel. And there's nobody better to help us navigate this different book than Dr. Daniel Block. Dan is the Gunther H. Knoedler Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Wheaton College and wrote a commentary on Ezekiel in 1998 that is still considered the gold standard commentary on Ezekiel. And you know what, Dan is still working on Ezekiel to this day. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Are "the Don" & Bibi being less than forth-coming concerning "Debacle in the Desert Part VII"? As most of us now realize, war is the biggest racket of all! The primary purpose of the Banking Cartels is to fund all sides of every war right up until the grand finale, which the predator class is doing their darndest to bring about. Here's some food for thought that the legacy and controlled op networks may have missed. Is there a connection between Iran and ancient Atlantis? What was Persia's  influence on early America, and did Zoroaster's Gathas serve as the basis for the Declaration of Independence? Does this current regime aim to swap Iran's true birthright of an enlightened libertarianism for an elitist controlled technocracy? Moshe Daniel Block returns for a part 2 discussion that we had with him on a prior and immensely popular Alfacast. Dr. Moshe, ND, VDP, HMC, VNMI, is a naturopathic doctor, author, and innovator in mind-body medicine who graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2000.

Having overcome myasthenia gravis with the medicine he practices, Dr. Moshe also provides personal healing programs for chronic illness and emotional suffering (dr-moshe.com). While this episode may lean in a bit more on geopolitics, we'll conduct our analysis in typical Alfacast fashion through an Alchemical lens. For those new to our channel, "Alchemy" is the authentic Science-based method of inquiry grounded in pragmatic application. Fundamental to this occulted methodology is the principle of transmutation, and why Man was given the responsibility to wield this natural mechanism toward the third and final Golden Age. Rudolph Steiner's "The War of All Against All" and Ahriman's involvement will receive additional attention to lend extra depth to these current events rooted in bygone civilizations and the forces now bringing world chaos to its ultimate crescendo.

"Joe", an inventor from down under, and innovator of the Joe Cell was/is a very special individual who was divinely inspired to build devices (cells) to experiment with water. Most noted was his "cell" integrated with the Internal Combustion Engine in which he introduced a new energy concept to generate power. Joe admonished that his inventions could not be understood within the context of conventional Atomic theory, and also required a knowledge of water as a conduit for informational fields.  This, of course, challenged the sacred cows of "science", but also revealed God's elegant design that can be applied for the production of renewable energy, water purification systems, and even the healing of human biology. "We just haven't figured out how God works!"  ~ Joe  Moshe Daniel Block joins this Alfacast for an in-depth exploration of the science behind the Joe Cell, and to introduce our audience to his own technology as a further evolution of the original Joe Cell.  Dr. Moshe Daniel Block, ND, VDP, HMC, VNMI, is a naturopathic doctor, author, and innovator in mind-body medicine who graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2000. He created andteaches the Vis Dialogue, a transformative mind-body healing technique that has helped thousands achieve life-changing results, and offers a full certification program in Holistic Counseling (holistic-counseling.ca). Having overcome myasthenia gravis with the medicine he practices, Dr. Moshe also provides personal healing programs for chronic illness and emotional suffering (dr-moshe.com). Our discussion on Joe Cell science will necessarily take us down a few esoteric rabbit holes including Russellian science, Steiner anthroposophical concepts with a bit of Alchemical perspective to round out the mix.  These seemingly diverse topics will figure prominently into the reality of "free energy" and the cessation of archaic one-way explosion technologies.

Introduction      Moses, having delivered the song to the nation (Deut 32:1-43), now directs and encourages his audience to receive the message for themselves. If the people of Israel would accept the message, follow it, and teach it to their children, they would know blessing in the land of Canaan, to which they were about to enter and possess (Deut 32:44-47). God had placed before them everything they needed for a life of success and prosperity, both for them and their children, but they had to commit themselves to the Lord and follow His directives set forth in the Torah (Deut 11:26-28; 30:15-20). The last few verses of this chapter close out with God directing Moses to go up to Mount Nebo, where he will see the land of Canaan from a distance, and then die (Deut 32:48-52). Text      In the opening of this pericope, Moses reiterates what he'd said at the beginning of the song (Deut 31:30), saying, “Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun” (Deut 32:44). “When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, ‘Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law'” (Deut 32:45-46).        Moses, after speaking God's Word to all Israel, directs them to accept the revelation for themselves, saying, “Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today” (Deut 32:46a). The word take translates the Hebrew verb שׂוּם sum, which means to “put, set, place…deposit.”[1] The form of the verb is a Qal imperative, which means it's a command to be obeyed, as the believer intentionally deposits God's Word to their own heart (לֵבָב lebab). For the believer with positive volition, it means he/she is mentally focusing on something of importance and paying careful attention to it. And what Moses was telling his audience to pay careful attention to? Specifically, it's “all the words” he was communicating to them, adding the oft repeated reference to “all the words of this law” (Deut 32:46b; cf., Deut 17:19; 27:3, 8, 26; 28:58; 29:29; 31:12, 24). And after telling his audience that they are personally responsible to place God's Word into their own hearts, he gives them an added responsibility, saying, “you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law” (Deut 32:46b). According to Eugene Merrill, “Not only were his hearers to pledge themselves to its stipulations, but they were to command their descendants to do the same. Over and over again the people of Israel were reminded that the faith and commitment of any one generation were not sufficient for all the generations to come. Each must have its own time of covenant renewal (cf. Deut 4:9–10; 5:29; 6:2, 7; 11:19, 21; 12:25, 28; 30:19).”[2]Though the parents were directed to command their children to learn and observe God's directives, it was up to the children themselves to exercise their own volitions and accept God's Word and walk in it. The command from the parents to the children was the highest display of love for them, for to give them the Word of God was to give them the source of life and blessing, for “man does not live by bread alone, but lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deut 8:3).      Moses drives the point further, saying, “For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life. And by this word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess” (Deut 32:47; cf. Deut 4:40). Here we see repeated words that Moses has been stressing throughout the book (cf., Deut 6:24-25; 11:26-28; 30:15-20). As stated previously, the faith of one generation does not guarantee the faith of the next. Still, Moses was concerned about his generation, and instructed them to teach their children—which was a display of love for them—that they might continue in obedience to the Lord and know His blessings as well (See Deut 4:9-10; 5:29; 6:2, 7; 11:19, 21; 12:25, 28; 30:19). Concerning this passage, Peter Craigie states, “The law did not bind men in a straitjacket of legalism, but pointed toward that life which God purposed for them. In the law lay the secret of Israel's longevity and prosperity in the promised land which they were soon to possess.”[3] Prediction of Moses' Death      In this closing section, the Lord spoke directly to Moses and directed him to ascend to Mount Nebo, where he would see the land of Canaan from a distance and then die. This discourse from God reiterates what Moses had said before about the Lord's punishment on him (see Deut 3:23-28; 31:2, 14). There are four commands given here to Moses: 1) go up to Mount Nebo (Deut 32:49a), 2) look at the land of Canaan (Deut 32:49b), 3) die on the mountain (Deut 32:50a), and 4) be gathered to your people (Deut 32:50b).      The pericope opens, telling us, “The LORD spoke to Moses that very same day, saying, 49 ‘Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession'” (Deut 32:48-49; cf., Num 27:12-14). The Abarim was a mountain range located in Moab, east of Canaan. According to Eugene Merrill, “The ‘Abarim Range' refers to the high plateau area east of the Jordan River and Dead Sea, the highest peak of which was Pisgah, a part of Mount Nebo (cf., Deut 34:1). This peak, with an elevation of over 2,600 feet, is about twenty miles from Jericho as the crow flies and affords an unobstructed view of nearly all the promised land (cf. Deut 34:1–3).”[4]      For Moses, being able to see the land of Canaan allowed him to know his mission of leading the people there had been accomplished. It was now up to Joshua to lead the Israelites into Canaan, which God was “giving to the sons of Israel for a possession” (Deut 32:49). God then told Moses, “Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people” (Deut 32:50). And God reminded Moses of the reason he could not enter the land of Canaan, saying, “because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel” (Deut 32:51). God reminded Moses that he had disqualified himself from entering the land of Canaan because he: 1) “broke faith” with God, and 2) did not treat the Lord as “holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.” Concerning this passage, Daniel Block states: "In striking the rock Moses had misrepresented Yahweh publicly, violated his own representative role, and failed to respect Yahweh's unique and sacred status. To Yahweh, striking the rock reflected a cavalier disposition toward him, as though Moses could adapt Yahweh's commands as he wanted. Moreover, in relating directly to the rock rather than the Rock, he had committed an idolatrous act. Yahweh's present indictment highlights the communal implications of Moses' actions; he had publicly failed to uphold Yahweh's holiness. As leader of the people and representative of Yahweh, he had struck the rock when Yahweh had commanded him to speak to it. While his act may have been a gesture of frustration, to God it involved publicly usurping what is otherwise a divine agenda. Remarkably, it worked—water issued from the rock. Moses may have looked like a magician—but it cost him his life and his mission."[5]      The Lord tells Moses, “For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel” (Deut 32:52). These final words to Moses show that all who were under the covenant, even Moses, was not exempt from divine punishment if he broke faith with God and was disobedient. By his disobedience, Moses did not forfeit his salvation, but his reward of entering the promised land. However, we also see here a display of God's grace, as He allowed Moses to see the land from a distance, just east of the Jordan River.      Though Moses' failure to honor God had cost him his right to enter the land of Canaan, overall, Moses is remembered for his faithfulness to the Lord, as the writer of Hebrews tells is, “Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant” to the Lord (Heb 3:5). The Lord called Moses His “friend” (Ex 33:11), and described him as His servant, who “is faithful in all My household” (Num 12:7). To be a friend of God means one follows His directives. Jesus said something similar to His disciples, saying, “You are My friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:14). By the end of his life, Moses would die at the ripe age of one hundred and twenty years with vigor  of life (Deut 34:7), and would tower above the prophets of Scripture who would follow after him (Deut 34:10-12).      Though Moses was about to leave the company of Israel and go to the mountain, and there leave this world, he was leaving behind a powerful legacy that would serve as the foundation for all Israel's success and prosperity in the years ahead, if they would accept it. Just before going up to the top of Mount Nebo, Moses would pronounce blessings on the nation (Deut 33), and then he would ascend the mountain—to die (Deut 34). Summary      In Deuteronomy 32:44-47, Moses directs his people to take all the words of God's law to heart, for they are not meaningless words, but are the very source of life and blessing, both for them and their children, if they will follow the Lord and walk in righteousness. In Deuteronomy 32:48-52, the Lord calls Moses to ascend Mount Nebo to look upon the land of promise, informing him that he will not enter the land, because of an event in which he broke faith with God and did not treat Him as holy, informing Moses that he will die on the mountain and be gathered to his people. Present Application      God gives us His Word to light our paths (Psa 119:105; Prov 6:23), to revive our hearts (Psa 119:25, 107), and to direct us in the path of righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). Being plugged into God's Word is paramount to the believer's successful walk. Moses knew this, and he stressed it over and over to his audience. He told them, “Take to heart all these words I am giving as a warning to you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law. For they are not meaningless words to you but they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess” (Deut 32:46-47 CSB; cf. Deut 4:40). The Scriptural teaching is “that man does not live by bread alone, but lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD” (Deut 8:3). But only those with positive volition will accept God's Word, live by faith, and walk in righteousness.      Of the one with positive volition it is said, “his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night” (Psa 1:2). The benefit of such a lifelong meditation is that “He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers” (Psa 1:3). Elsewhere, David said, “I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart” (Psa 40:8). And Jeremiah said, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts” (Jer 15:16). To eat God's Word is a picture of positive volition, as Jeremiah welcomed the divine revelation into himself, and once received, it delighted his heart.      When the human heart is receptive to God's Word, it transforms that person from the inside out, and this is both cognitive and experiential. God says, “Is not My word like fire? declares the LORD, and like a hammer which shatters a rock?” (Jer 23:29). His Word is powerful and accomplishes what He desires (Isa 55:10-11; Heb 4:12), and it lights a fire in the heart of those who are positive. For example, after His resurrection, Jesus walked for several miles with two disciples and gave them a Bible lesson which lasted for several hours (Luke 24:14-35). This Bible lesson occurred as they traveled “to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem” (Luke 24:13). Luke reveals how Jesus taught them, “beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24:27). After His Bible lesson, the two disciples said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32). The heart that is positive to God receives His Word and is excited by what is learned. But hearts that are negative suppress God's truth (Rom 1:18-32), and this to their own harm.      Learning Scripture must be followed by faith, as we become “doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude” ourselves” (Jam 1:22). This means learning and living His Word day by day (Psa 1:2; Ezra 7:10; 2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17; 1 Pet 2:2), walking by faith (Heb 10:38; 11:1-6), advancing to spiritual maturity (Heb 6:1), and living the righteous life He intends. Such a life glorifies God, edifies others, and creates in us a personal sense of destiny tied to the God of universe, Who is directing history to the return of Jesus and the establishment of His earthly kingdom.     [1] Willem VanGemeren, ed., New International Dictionary of Old Testament Theology & Exegesis (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1997), 1237.

How might a thematic analysis of Jeremiah, particularly the theme of the faithless bride, help pastors better serve their churches? What can Christians learn about the futility and dangers of sin by studying the Book of Jeremiah, and how might this theme of the faithless bride lead us to a deeper appreciation of Jesus Christ?Jeremiah's confrontation with Israel over their faithlessness is still valuable for those who confront sin today when we consider two key realities about sin. First, sin is irrational. It is utter madness to try to slake one's thirst with the grime at the bottom of a cistern when you can drink from a clear, pure spring. Second, sin's power is broken when we are disgusted by it. We must understand that what seems so attractive about sin is actually hideously ugly. Yes, Jeremiah is about Israel and Judah, but it is also about us.As ministers of the gospel, pastors must gravely and potently confront sin and get people to see its abhorrence and the hopelessness that it drives us to before they can show and speak of the true hope that we have in Jesus Christ. And yet, here's this lingering question: how can we ever arrive here? How can we ever arrive at this knowledge of our sin when Jeremiah so emphasizes the power of self-deception and delusion? As the rest of Jeremiah will show, the new covenant will have the power to pierce our self-deception and engender true conviction in our hearts, and only by the power of God's initiative through Jesus Christ will the Faithless bride once again become a faithful wife and love her husband in her heart of hearts.Today's Greystone Conversations episode is taken from a recent Greystone Module, Jeremiah as Christian Scripture.
