M90 is here, cadets, and Talking Trek is rolling straight into Starfleet Academy with a full Talking in Carz breakdown of the new patch. DJz, Griffin, Tarpy, Jules Verne, and the crew unpack the new Academy loop, Duo Wave Defense, critical damage mitigation, Academy drones, the new building, refinery currencies, laurels, and the first wave of new officers. We also dig into the bigger M90 economy changes, including battle pass updates, the 27-day arc format, Boldly Go rewards, desolate rod sourcing, officer depot token changes, Paragon and Cadre bundles, alliance tournament updates, new artifacts, ship refits, and the long-awaited arrival of G5 scrapping. There's a lot in this patch, some of it exciting, some of it suspiciously spreadsheet-shaped, and some of it wearing a cadet uniform while stealing your lunch money. Topics include: Starfleet Academy loop, Duo Wave Defense, critical damage mitigation, Academy drones, STFC.phd battle log parsing, engineering credits, science credits, command credits, laurels, new Academy officers, Genesis outpost loot, battle pass changes, Boldly Go, officer depot tokens, Paragon and Cadre bundles, Emerald Chain progression, alliance tournaments, simulacrum refits, and G5 scrapping timers. 00:51 Show open and welcome to Talking in Carz 02:23 Welcome to Starfleet Academy, cadets 03:12 The new Starfleet Academy loop begins 04:37 Academy drones, crit chance, and crit damage explained 05:24 Critical damage mitigation enters the game 07:45 Battle logs, STFC.phd, and tracking the new mechanic 08:52 Why the Academy building matters early 10:03 Training merits, engineering credits, and the refinery loop 11:34 The 60-second currency recap 12:27 Laurels become the new officer promotion currency 13:17 Duo Wave Defense strategy and why waiting may be smart 15:39 New Academy officers: Doctor, Jahl of Myr, and Genesis 17:04 Genesis and the big outpost plunder loot boost 20:46 The early concern: is the new loop too siloed? 23:00 Battle pass and live ops changes for the 27-day arc 24:03 Desolate rods, Boldly Go, and flash pass replacement sourcing 26:58 Community data needed for battle pass reward comparisons 28:49 Officer depot token store changes and 30-day warning 31:03 Paragon and Cadre officer sourcing bundles 32:30 New artifacts: Emerald Chain helm and G7 parts efficiency 34:24 Emerald Chain progression and alliance tournament XP 36:23 Surprise: two alliance tournament runs this month 39:18 Titles, cosmetics, and the fun side of the arc 40:15 Choice token concerns and alliance tournament task changes 42:18 New simulacrum refits and Academy drone mitigation 43:42 G5 scrapping timers, exocomp boost, and realistic expectations 47:36 When to use the G5 scrapping exocomp 48:35 Wrap-up and tonight's Talking Trek lab preview

Today's Guest: Matthew Rosenberg spent the course last year finishing up his great Spy Thriller We're Taking everyone down with us to excellent critical acclaim. At the time of the scheduling the interview, it was announced that Matthew will be passed the torch as head writer for the Iconic series Spawn from the one and only Todd McFarlane which we get into later in the Podcast.If Destruction be our Lot for Image Comics brings forth a post human society where the Robots created by humanity now run the world. We meet Abe (a robotic Abraham Lincoln) from a museum programmed to orate the history of one of our greatest presidents. With Humanity gone, the world happier for the rest of automation, but lonely for Abe. We ask: Are Humans truly extinct in this world? Is Abe conflicted with the loss of humans a parody of Humanity since the robot is designed to understand the history of a world that was molded by the former president? Does Abe's journey mimic Abraham Lincoln life his failures as well as his successes to show robots what they are without the Humans. Also, Matthew teams with his brother Mark to handle construction of this excellent series.FOC 4/13Debuts 5/6/26Matthew and Mark Elijah Rosenberg as Co-writersArtwork by Andy McDonaldColors by Francesco SegalaLetters by Hassan Otmane-Elhaou

Draft slot 28 has been a subject of intense scrutiny, prompting the question of whether it serves as a veritable gold mine or a dismal graveyard. As we approach the NFL draft, we delve into this contentious topic, examining the remarkable players and notable busts that have emerged from this particular position throughout its storied history. The episode highlights the paradox of slot 28, which has yielded both legendary Hall of Famers and players whose careers have been described as disappointments. Among the distinguished individuals discussed is Daryl Green, a name synonymous with excellence, whose lengthy and illustrious career offers a compelling narrative of success. Ultimately, we endeavor to determine the legacy of draft slot 28, weighing the evidence of its historical significance against the backdrop of recent underwhelming selections.Do you want more football history?

I'm very pleased to be joined this week by Matthew Robinson, who is the screenwriter of the new film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. It is the rarest of things: a mid-budget, high-concept, sci-fi action-comedy. Starring Sam Rockwell as a time-traveler from a ruined future (or possibly just a bum with a fake bomb strapped to his chest), Robinson and director Gore Verbinski (The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean) have crafted a piercingly satirical take on our obsession with screens, our inability to deal with the tragedy of modern living, and the creeping fire that all-powerful AI will wind up killing half of us and enslaving the rest. It's opening wide on February 13, and I really hope you check it out. I may write a hair more about it in my newsletter though I probably won't review it properly as I try not to review movies made by people I've interviewed so as to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. (Ethics, baby!) That said, I strongly recommend going to see it in a movie theater if for no other reason then to demonstrate that there is an audience for original films with a clear point of view and something to say about our world and our moment.

Reading IIsaiah 62:1-5 For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her victory like a burning torch. Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory; you shall be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD. You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God. No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.Reading IIActs 13:16-17, 22-25When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue,he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in theland of Egypt.With uplifted arm he led them out of it.Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king;of him he testified,‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;he will carry out my every wish.'From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he.Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'”GospelMatthew 1:1-25The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.Abraham became the father of Isaac,Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah,whose mother was Tamar.Perez became the father of Hezron,Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab.Amminadab became the father of Nahshon,Nahshon the father of Salmon,Salmon the father of Boaz,whose mother was Rahab.Boaz became the father of Obed,whose mother was Ruth.Obed became the father of Jesse,Jesse the father of David the king.David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.Solomon became the father of Rehoboam,Rehoboam the father of Abijah,Abijah the father of Asaph.Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,Joram the father of Uzziah.Uzziah became the father of Jotham,Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh,Manasseh the father of Amos,Amos the father of Josiah.Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothersat the time of the Babylonian exile.After the Babylonian exile,Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,Zerubbabel the father of Abiud.Abiud became the father of Eliakim,Eliakim the father of Azor,Azor the father of Zadok.Zadok became the father of Achim,Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar.Eleazar became the father of Matthan,Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.Thus the total number of generationsfrom Abraham to Davidis fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile,fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Christ,fourteen generations.Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfillwhat the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

Isaiah 62 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. 6 On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest, 7 and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth. 8 The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will not again give your grain to be food for your enemies, 11and foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored; 9 but those who garner it shall eat it and praise the Lord, and those who gather it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.” 10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway; clear it of stones; lift up a signal over the peoples. 11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.” 12 And they shall be called The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 23, 2025 is: desolate DESS-uh-lut adjective Desolate describes places that lack people, plants, animals, etc., that make people feel welcome in a place; desolate places are, in other words, deserted or barren. Desolate can also mean “joyless” or “gloomy.” // We drove for hours along a desolate stretch of road until finally a lone gas station appeared in the middle of nowhere. See the entry > Examples: “... the great novelists were my guide, and none more so than my grandfather. I learnt from him complexity of motivation, a willingness to take risks with storytelling, and the vital importance of landscape. Like Thomas Hardy, my grandfather was able to make his readers see what he wrote, whether it be the beauty of Rivendell or the desolate landscapes of Mordor.” — Simon Tolkien, LitHub.com, 29 May 2025 Did you know? The word desolate hasn't strayed far from its Latin roots: its earliest meaning of “deserted” mirrors that of its Latin source dēsōlātus, which comes from the verb dēsōlāre, meaning “to leave all alone; forsake; empty of inhabitants.” That word's root is sōlus, meaning “lone; acting without a partner; lonely; deserted,” source too of the “lonely” words sole, soliloquy, solitary, solitude, and solo. Desolate also functions as a verb (its last syllable rhymes with wait rather than what) with its most common meanings being “to lay waste” and “to make wretched; to make someone deeply dejected or distressed.”
Wednesday, 19 November 2025 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:16 “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘They have no need to depart. You, you give, them to eat'” (CG). In the previous verse, the disciples came to Jesus, noting the remoteness of the area and the late hour, imploring Him to send the people away so they could buy food. In response to that, it now says, “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘They have no need to depart.'” Although each gospel narrative stands on its own, it is still interesting to see the fuller conversation. Mark's gospel omits the words “They have no need to depart,” but it adds in the words, “And they said to Him, ‘Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?'” Luke likewise leaves out this first clause and omits the additional words of Mark. John's narrative says – “Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?' 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, ‘Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.'” John 6:5-7 Each account is from the writer's own perspective, and yet, they can be harmoniously woven together. In Matthew, Jesus continues, saying emphatically, “You, you give, them to eat.” One can see the emphasis from Jesus returned to the disciples based on their words, emphatically highlighted by the remoteness of the area – *“Desolate, it is, this place, and the hour, it passed already. You dismiss the crowds that, having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food.” *“They have no need to depart. You, you give, them to eat” Jesus is providing instruction in who He is and what He is capable of, and He is doing it in a manner that has astonished the minds of His people for two millennia. These are His disciples, and they have been called to accomplish an impossible task. Despite this, the mass feeding will take place, exactly as Jesus directs. Life application: The miracle of feeding this multitude is something that the Bible asks us to believe at face value. We are not to look for some behind-the-scenes finagling on the part of the disciples or Jesus. In other words, there wasn't a convoy of trucks just on the other side of the hill, secretly ready to deliver food to feed the multitudes. Rather, God provided the food for the people just as He did with the manna in the wilderness for forty years. It was a true miracle that is to be accepted as such. God continues to perform the miraculous in ways we may not perceive or understand, even to this day. These are done in order to suit His purposes. Unfortunately, too often, people claim the miraculous when what occurred had nothing to do with God's providing a miracle. There are key issues we should look for to determine if something is truly miraculous. One is to ask if the matter brought glory to God. That is the first and key point. However, such cannot be a miracle that supposedly glorifies God but which doesn't glorify Jesus. There are innumerable claims of the miraculous in Catholicism, which supposedly highlight Mary or some other figure. Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and other religions claim miracles all the time. Do a general search on YouTube and you'll see this. Likewise, claims of the miraculous come from Mormonism and other false cults that fall under the umbrella of “Christian” denominations. If biblical Christianity is true, these miracles cannot be real, God-directed miracles. Paul speaks of false gospels, false prophets, false brethren, and the working of Satan, which includes power, signs, and lying wonders. Therefore, not everything that appears miraculous is. In fact, the large preponderance of so-called miracles in the world is nothing but chance events, false claims, or active workings of Satan. As you read the Bible, evaluate the miracles in it and consider why they are recorded. They will always be there to glorify God and to validate His workings in and among His people or for their instruction. Have discernment, and don't trust anything simply because it is presented by someone who claims to be Christian. You will find that almost every supposed claim of divine intervention, be it dreams, tongues, appearances, or other supposed miraculous events, is simply hogwash. The Bible is written. It testifies to Jesus and His workings. Do you really need more to edify your walk before the Lord? Have faith in what God has done. If He does more in your life, be grateful that His hand was upon you for whatever need you had, be it healing, financial help, or a moment of encouragement that you alone share with Him and that builds you up as His child. Lord God, help us to have discernment and not to get caught up in things that are not helpful to our relationship with You. There are way too many distractions in this life that are neither edifying nor healthy. Keep us from such things, O God. Amen.
Tuesday, 18 November 2025 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.” Matthew 14:15 “And evening having come, they came to Him, His disciples, saying, ‘Desolate, it is, this place, and the hour, it passed already. You dismiss the crowds that, having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus is said to have been moved with compassion for the multitudes and healed their sick. Next, after a day's labor, it says, “And evening having come.” To understand the timing and the same term being used again in verse 23, referring to the other gospels will help – “When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him...” Mark 6:35 “When the day began to wear away...” Luke 9:12 John's gospel does not refer to the time of day but the time of the year, saying, “Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near” John 6:4. This, however, adds its own issue. Passover is around March each year. The days are shorter, between 11 and 12 hours, and the setting of the sun is therefore earlier than later in the summer months, which extend to about 14 hours. Matthew's note indicates the amount of time already spent with the people, “the day was far spent.” Luke's note indicates the afternoon hours leading to the setting sun, a time known in the law as ben ha'arbayim, “between the evenings.” It is the time of the evening sacrifice, which would be around 3 pm. There is the evening of the day when the sun begins to decline and the evening of the light when the day transitions into night. Thus, this is at an hour when the day is in decline, and the people had already been there for quite some time. As the day is waning, there is an obvious problem. Therefore, “they came to Him, His disciples.” The disciples see that there is a need, and they must think Jesus is unaware of it, as if He weren't paying attention to the situation. As such, these disciples address Him, “saying, ‘Desolate, it is, this place.'” The word desolate is in the emphatic position. They are essentially saying, “We are in the middle of nowhere. There is no gas station, 7-11, or even a watermelon stand. But all these people...!” And more, they say, “and the hour, it passed already.” There are various possibilities for what this might mean – The hour for the people to get home before dark. The hour of the afternoon sacrifice, which is 3pm. The normal time Jesus would dismiss crowds so they could get home. The hour for women to start preparing food. Etc. Whatever the intent, it was something understood by Jesus, and it indicated that time was getting on while the people were still there in this remote location. Therefore, they say, “You dismiss the crowds.” One can sense the urgency in their voice. They had crossed the sea. By the time they arrived, the people were already there to meet them, meaning they would have had to exert a lot of effort to do so. Jesus immediately had compassion on them and began healing the sick. Eventually, Jesus and the disciples went aside privately (Luke 9:10 & John 6:3). However, the people remained in the area. Therefore, He needed to dismiss them with alacrity. And so they continue, saying, “that having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food.” The word bróma, food, is introduced. It speaks of that which is eaten as indicated by the verb form, bibróskó, found in John 6:13. The disciples have clearly set the stage for the events ahead by emphatically noting the desolateness of the location. Along with that is the timing of the day. Either the people will need to be immediately dismissed, or the time ahead will be one of great difficulty for them. There is, however, one other option the disciples are unaware of. Life application: There are times in life where events lead us to the brink of seeming disaster. Suddenly, and from unexpected means, an abundance is realized. Was it chance, luck, the clicking of cosmic tumblers, or the divine hand of God tending to us after allowing us to go through a time of testing? To what or who do we ascribe the credit for tending to our needs, even basic daily needs, but also those that are sudden and totally out of the normal? If we are wise, we will always credit that which we have or that which we receive to the gracious hand of God. If we earn money, it is because He fashioned us to do so. He gave us the physical or mental ability to earn what we have. He gave us the time and place in which we live in order to prosper. And so, if that ends, we should accept it as His decision and live within the new confines He has dealt us with contentment and gratitude. In all things and in all ways, we should acknowledge God's sovereignty and thank Him for that which we possess. Glorious heavenly Father, thank You for the lives You have given us. You have wisely chosen our place and time of life, the abilities we possess, and the circumstances in which we find ourselves. As this is true, through good and through trials, we acknowledge Your wisdom and thank You for Your guiding hand in our lives. Amen.

Nahum 2:1-3:19 The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength. 2 For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches. 3 The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots come with flashing metal on the day he musters them; the cypress spears are brandished. 4 The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning. 5 He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up. 6 The river gates are opened; the palace melts away; 7 its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts. 8 Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry, but none turns back. 9 Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things. 10 Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale! 11 Where is the lions' den, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and lioness went, where his cubs were, with none to dis- turb? 12 The lion tore enough for his cubs and strangled prey for his lionesses; he filled his caves with prey and his dens with torn flesh. 13 Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard. 3:1 Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and plunder— no end to the prey! 2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot! 3 Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, hosts of slain, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end— they stumble over the bodies! 114 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her whorings, and peoples with her charms. 5 Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and will lift up your skirts over your face; and I will make nations look at your na- kedness and kingdoms at your shame. 6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. 7 And all who look at you will shrink from you and say, “Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her?” Where shall I seek comforters for you? 8 Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, and water her wall? 9 Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity; her infants were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains. 11 You also will be drunken; you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy. 12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with first-ripe figs— if shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater. 13 Behold, your troops are women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has devoured your bars. 14 Draw water for the siege; strengthen your forts; go into the clay; tread the mortar; take hold of the brick mold! 15 There will the fire devour you; the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper! 16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away. 17 Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold— when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are. 18 Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the moun- tains with none to gather them. 19 There is no easing your hurt; your wound is grievous. All who hear the news about you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil?
Dr. Tom Curran continues to discuss 18 scripture passages that will change your life. Tom shares insights on how to overcome comfortable dissipation through disruption, breakthrough and transformation.Tom's List of Life-Changing Scripture PassagesI was caught up in spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a voice as loud as a trumpet, which said, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest. The hair of his head was as white as white wool or as snow,* and his eyes were like a fiery flame. His feet were like polished brass refined in a furnace,* and his voice was like the sound of rushing water.In his right hand he held seven stars. A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth, and his face shone like the sun at its brightest.When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead.* He touched me with his right hand and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last, the one who lives. Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I hold the keys to death and the netherworld. (Rev 1: 10-18)For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep still, Until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her salvation like a burning torch. Nations shall behold your vindication, and all kings your glory; You shall be called by a new name bestowed by the mouth of the LORD. You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No more shall you be called “Forsaken,” nor your land called “Desolate,” But you shall be called “My Delight is in her,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be espoused. For as a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; And as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you. (Isa 62: 1-5)Look! I am bringing the city recovery and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of lasting peace. I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and rebuild them as they were in the beginning. I will purify them of all the guilt they incurred by sinning against me; I will forgive all their offenses by which they sinned and rebelled against me. Then this city shall become joy for me, a name of praise and pride, before all the nations of the earth, as they hear of all the good I am doing for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the prosperity I give it. (Jer 33: 6-9)
This audio is Part 2 of the video. The Third Temple and the Abomination that Make Desolate. In order to understand what may soon come to pass on the Temple Mount we must look at various positions regarding the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple… i.e. the third temple. We all know that one of the main obstacles in the way of rebuilding a Jewish Temple on Temple Mount are the Islamic buildings which are currently occupying this space. One possibility is based upon a little publicized rabbinic writing from a Rabbi Architect named Moshe Komsky that is linked to or cited on both the Christian study bible site Blue Letter Bible and the Jewish templemount.org site if you know where to look. I will play part of a video in which I believe well known past Knesset member and temple mount activist Yehuda Glick espouses what I believe is the very idea expressed in this Jewish paper. This proposal suggests that because the Dome of the Rock was built by what the Jews consider to be the monotheistic religion of Islam it would be suitable to not only remain on temple mount next to a Jewish temple but could indeed be incorporated INTO the House of Prayer for all Nations… i.e. the end times Jewish Temple. The paper proposes that the Dome of the Rock would become a central altar or worship area and then wings would be added onto it as houses of worship for each of the 4monotheistic religions which according to this paper includes Hinduism. This would then make this Dome of the Rock which very well could have been built right over the place of the Holy of Holies into a house of prayer for all nations as the proponents of this idea call it (but we call it a house of prayer for all religions). Actually we'll go one step further and call it the Abomination that makes Desolate should this be the route that is taken and we will explain why. Once I show this to you and explain the symbolism you will not be able to UN-see it and it should cause anyone who loves and wants to honor YHWH and Y'shua His Salvation to sigh and cry over this Abominations being done there as in Ezekiel 8's account of the writer with the ink horn.
