Podcasts about Hades

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/21/25), Hank resumes his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Holy Saturday, which was observed by the Eastern Church this past weekend. Holy Saturday marks one of the most enigmatic of all mysteries—the mystery of Christ's descent into Hades. Being “put to death in the body,” says Peter, he was “made alive by the spirit through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it, only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also.” Peter here reminds us of two great and glorious truths. First, we are saved through water, and second, the descent of Christ into Hades inaugurates resplendent triumph. A triumph by which Christ “tramples down death by death.”Hank also answers the following questions:When a person is baptized, do they become a new creation right away, or is it an ongoing process?

Robert - Tallahassee, FL (20:35)I have a cross pendant that has discolored over time. I bought a replacement, but what should I do with the old one? Paul - San Diego, CA (23:03)

On Easter Weekend, Jesus descended into Hades on Saturday, and thus, we went down into hell to face the Archons inside and outside our minds. Scott R. Jones leads us like a psychopomp, based on his book, Drill. Beyond understanding the control systems of our current simulation, which include fundamentalist religion and parental trauma, Scott provides High Weirdness advice that reminds us of the Gnosis of Philip K. Dick, William Burroughs, and Jorge Luis Borges. You are in danger, and those mind parasites are ready to drain your energetic body completely. Let's turn the tide right now with our innate magic.

Döda är vi när alla hjärnfunktioner oåterkalleligt är borta. Men om hjärta och andning stannar kan man få en glimt. Över den funderar Jimmy Vulovic. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.En människa kämpar sig igenom dödsskräck, smärta och meningslöshet. Livet går. Det kommer en dotter, en son. Långt senare vilar en gammal döende hand i en yngre och för en kort stund får döden belysa livet. Att allas vårt oundvikliga slut bär livsinsiktens början i sig är sedan länge känt i skönlitteraturen. Ett av de mest gripande exemplen är Ivan Iljitjs död som Leo Tolstoj tecknar med mästerlig hand i en kortroman med samma namn från 1886. I den får vi följa hans liv av social och materialistisk ytlighet tillsammans med dottern, sonen och hustrun ända tills döden låter honom förstå den egentliga meningen. Även filosoferna är väl medvetna om allt det där. Livet kan enbart förstås baklänges men det måste levas framlänges, skriver Søren Kierkegaard i en notering från 1843. När man läser hans tanke högt låter den som en självklarhet, så pass självklar att dess innebörd ofta glöms bort. Ungefär som då vi i berättelser gång på gång låter oss överraskas av bra intrigvändningar. Vi vet ju alla att något kommer ske, något som förklarar allt som redan har varit. Det är en självklarhet. Ändå förvånas vi när det väl händer. Skönlitteratur liknar på det viset livet. Berättelser kräver också ett slut för att början och mitten ska fullbordas och förstås. Att läsa är därför som en övning i att leva och att dö.”Jag levde alltså mitt liv en gång till. Jag träffade människor jag inte ägnat en tanke på 50 år, jag visste vad de hette och vad de tänkte och vad jag tänkte.” Orden kommer från en man som var 74 år då han dog. Hjärtstillestånd. Kliniskt död men efter 1 minut och 40 sekunder återupplivades han av överläkaren Hans Zingmark som senare intervjuade mannen för en forskningsstudie om nära döden-upplevelser. Anders, som den avlidne kallas i studien, fortsätter: ”Hela mitt liv i detalj igen på 1 minut 40 sekunder – hur gick det till? Den sista dagen jag levde om, var när jag tittade på dig och mötte din blick.” Hans Zingmark kunde naturligtvis inte svara på hur det hade gått till. Ingen kan det. Men i studien ”Near-death experiences and the change of worldview in survivors of sudden caridac arrest”, som han 2022 skrev med Anetth Granberg Axèll, finns många andra svar. I den bekräftas nämligen på ett fascinerande sätt flera slutsatser från både tidigare forskning och från den beprövade livserfarenhet som kommer till uttryck i exempelvis skönlitteratur.Ett varmt sken och en härlig känsla av att nå en annan dimension är ett återkommande tema i de fyra djupintervjuer som studien bygger på. Ljuset beskrivs som livfullt, fritt från all ondska någonstans bortom vår fysiska verklighet. Tyvärr är det långt ifrån alla som får uppleva det, i alla fall om vi ska tro den tidigare forskning som säger att bara mellan 10 och 20 procent av dem som rycks ur dödens käftar återvänder med en nära döden-upplevelse. Så kanske stämmer det som en gång har sagts om att alla inte får gå samma väg. Förvåning förenar också återvändarna. Tre av studiens deltagare saknade då de dog all tro på en existens bortom det materiella livet, men alla fick bevittna motsatsen och då försvann även deras tidigare rädsla för döden. Ungefär som Ivan Iljitj då han alldeles i slutet av den smärtsamma dödskamp som han aldrig ska få återvända ifrån febrilt letar efter sin gamla dödsskräck. Men den är borta. Självcentreringen som präglat hela hans liv lämnar honom också. Då befrias han och döden finns inte längre. I romanen står det skrivet: ”Istället för döden var ljus. – Jaså, är det så! sade han plötsligt högt. Så härligt!”Trams, säger skeptikern. Det där är bara historier som det inte finns några bevis för alls, sådant som människan i årtusenden berättat för att finna tröst och moralisera om hur vi bör leva. Nu vet vi bättre. För nu tror vi på Vetenskapen där vi kan mäta saker och ting. Och det stämmer givetvis som skeptikern säger att människan länge har berättat om evigheten. Många har moraliserat också. För redan i den direkt från muserna åkallade historien om Odysseus irrfärder finns det ju faktiskt två vägar ut ur livet, en för de få till de ljusa elyseiska fälten och en in i Hades mörkerrike. I elfte sången närmar sig hjälten de döda i mörkret. Odysseus söker där råd om livet och siaren Teiresias berättar vad han måste göra för att kunna ta sig hem igen. Och av sin mor får han veta vad som har hänt på Ithaka sedan han lämnade ön för att strida vid Troja. Överväldigad av starka känslor öppnar han sin famn mot modern och ”tre gånger, såsom en dröm eller skuggbild, vek hon tillbaka”. Varför, mor? Hon svarar honom att ”likt en dröm fladdrar själen kring sen den övergett kroppen”. Och då förstår ju vem som helst att undflyende väsen av det slaget inte låter sig mätas.Det omätbara finns överallt. Av någon anledning finns exempelvis Ivan Iljitj i mig. Där är han tillsammans med många andra fiktiva personer som har berört mitt liv. Därinne bor också verkliga människor som jag har förlorat. De som för en kort stund plötsligt kan bli så levande igen, som om de när som helst skulle kunna komma in genom dörren eller kanske slå en signal, trots att de är döda. Alla är de omätbara men det gör inte känslan av dem osann. Och det finns mycket, även inom Vetenskapen, som vi antar finnas bara på grund av spåren det efterlämnar. Ingen har ju ännu sett eller direkt mätt varken DNA-strängens dubbelhelix eller universums mörka materia. Ändå tror vi på båda delarna. Då borde ju även de spår döden lämnar vara värt något, i både fiktionen och verkligheten. Ivan Iljitj ser med dödens hjälp meningslösheten i det ytliga liv han levt. Han fick ingen möjlighet att återvända för att förändra det. Deltagarna i studien fick dock dö med livet i behåll och deras lärdomar liknar det som litterära röster ur evigheten ofta berättat om. De återvände alla med insikter om börjans och mittens betydelse, förstod att värdera nära relationer mer än materiella ting. Livet blev mer levande efter döden. Samtidigt fylldes deras syn på det liv som vi alla just nu lever oss igenom av en stor tacksamhet och respekt. Om inte det är värdefull kunskap så säg.Jimmy Vuloviclitteraturforskare och författare

RESURRECTION AND AGE TO AGE LIFE As Jesus was dying on the cross he said ‘Father into your hands I commit my Spirit' The Bible says that he then descended - in his Spirit - on a mission of great purpose. Below him was a place called Paradise, and next to Paradise was a place called Hades. Jesus had spoken about these places when he told the story in Luke 16 of the rich man and Lazarus, the beggar. The rich man who lived sumptuously in arrogant self-indulgence all of his life ended up in Hades and Lazarus who lived the life of a humble beggar at the gate of the rich man's house ended up in Paradise, with Abraham.  Jesus had now descended to these places. Paradise was where there were millions of souls who had been waiting for him from the beginning of time. These had lived their lives on earth in hope, many of them guided by the Commandments through Moses, but many simply by a good conscience. They were locked away from eternity till Jesus would now come to get them. Jesus would also visit Hades the prison of lost hope. The bible says that Jesus then preached to all those prisoners of time the message of the Gospel, the plan of the Father to send Jesus into the world to set people free from the captivity of sin and to bring his New Creation life to humanity (1Peter 3:19). Jesus would have sat with Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, and many others in Paradise as well as his newfound friend that hung next to him on the cross and to whom he said, ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise'! He spoke to with them and he rested with them. He was to wait there until the end of the third day when he would ascend into Heaven and set the captives free. (Ephesians 4:8) from the captivity of time, as they had waited till heaven came to get them. Jesus also declared the message of the Gospel to those in Hades who had resisted God and refused to listen to him, including those who were destroyed in the flood of Noah.  1Peter 3:18 He died once for the sins of all sinners although he himself was innocent of any sin at any time, that he might bring us safely home to God. But though his body died, his spirit lived on, and it was in the spirit that he visited the spirits in prison and preached to them-- spirits of those who, long before in the days of Noah, had refused to listen to God, though he waited patiently for them while Noah was building the ark.  The Book of Revelation also tells us that Jesus was given the keys of ‘Hell and death' at this time, and with the key of freedom he was able to unlock those prisoners of the past  and take them into an age to age existence to await an eternal destiny. Revelation1:17,18 Fear not; I am the first and the last: -- I am he that lives and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I have the keys of hell and of death. On the third day when Jesus turned the key of freedom in the prison gate a tremor hit the universe. Power from Father and Holy Spirit in heaven was released into and through Jesus to overcome death and the grave. His resurrection changed the nature of every atom of matter in existence. God had joined himself to his own creation in the person of Jesus Christ and now humanity could become a ‘New Creation Being', joined in the Spirit with Jesus (2Corinthians 5:14).  The time had now come for them all to leave, and Jesus led some on a triumphant upward journey, to their new home, his home in Heaven, while others to a place reserved to await an age to come. A company of them was escorted by hosts of angels, ascending ever upwards until they first reached the earth, (Psalm 68:18, Ephesians 4:8, Psalm 24)), and there they stopped for a brief period of time, because there were things for Jesus to do there. The first thing that he had to do was to go to his tomb where his earthly body lay in its shroud. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel went ahead of Jesus to the tomb and found the guards there that the temple priests had appointed to stand watch at the tomb. As the angels alighted the ground shook and the massive stone rolled away as a huge burst of lightning hit the place sending the guards reeling headlong to the ground. They leapt up in fright and bolted. Jesus entered his tomb and united himself again to the wounded shell of his body, leaving the shroud lying separated from the headpiece which had been folded away neatly (John 20:7).  Michael and Gabriel waited inside the tomb while Jesus walked bodily from that temporary resting place, out into the garden. He walked about and would have recalled vividly the events that had so recently taken place nearby, and his time of kneeling in an agony of prayer when he accepted his cup of unbearable suffering.  At that same time some women had prepared oils and spices according to the custom, to anoint the body of Jesus. On their way to the tomb, they were discussing the problem of how to move the huge stone that covered the entrance. When they arrived, they were astonished to see that it had been moved and the guards were nowhere to be seen. They peered inside the tomb and were met by the majestic appearance of Michael and Gabriel, sitting in the place where Jesus had been laying. ‘Are you looking for Jesus?' Gabriel said. ‘He has come back to life as he said he would. Go and tell the disciples that he will be coming to see them, and that they are to wait for him in Galilee.' The women ran to tell the disciples but one of them dropped behind and walked slowly through the garden, still confused and weeping. She almost collided with Jesus who was also walking in the garden, and she apologized, not recognizing him, thinking he was the gardener. This was Mary Magdalene. And he called her by her name and said, ‘It's alright Mary, it is me.' She ran towards him, but he held up his hand and said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord,' and she shared the things that he had said to her.' (John 20.17) And now Jesus had to fulfill the offering of his blood to his Father in Heaven. The blood of animal sacrifice had been offered for the sins of the people by the High priest of Israel in the holy place of the temple for the last fifteen hundred years for the nation of Israel (Leviticus 16, Hebrews 9) but Jesus had just marked the end of blood sacrifice for sin for all time by sprinkling his innocent blood on the ground at Golgotha for the forgiveness of the sins of the whole earth. Hebrews 9:11 But Jesus came as High Priest of this better system that we now have. He went into that greater, perfect tabernacle in heaven, not made by men nor part of this world, and once for all took blood into that inner room, the Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on the mercy seat; but it was not the blood of goats and calves. No, he took his own blood, and with it he, by himself, made sure of our eternal salvation.  A strange phenomenon then occurred in Jerusalem. Hundreds of souls who had just accompanied Jesus from below and who had recently died were making the briefest of appearances to their loved ones. And when the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened. Many bodies of the saints who had died were raised up and came out of the tombs after his resurrection, and they went into the holy city and appeared to many. (Matthew 27:52) After the very brief visit to their astounded friends and relatives on earth in their new recognizable forms, they then had to regroup with Jesus and resume their journey to Heaven (Imagine the strange reality of this spiritual world). The magnificent procession began to ascend from their graves to the sky in glorious splendour with its escort of glorious angels. As their ascension took them closer and closer to the throne room a mighty voice could be heard proclaiming his majestic entrance. Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle! At this command the heavenly music began. The sounds of pipes and trumpets, the voices of hundreds of harmonies, and a beautiful range of stringed instruments created a majestic symphony. Jesus had come home, and the Bible trumpets his victorious homecoming.  Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he sustains everything in the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.  This was the moment - purification for the sin of all mankind had been made and now everything in the Universe was integrated into his glorified New Creation Being of power. Ephesians 1:19-21. how powerful is that divine energy that comes from God to us when we simply believe that he is the creator and generator of this supernatural power which exploded into reality when he raised Jesus from the dead and took him into heaven to sit next to him at his right hand. 21. This heavenly place and position took Jesus as God and man above any other force or realm of authority that can be named, whether on earth or in the heavens…and he has become the centre of all consequence and meaning in the universe. All the angels and all those who had come with Jesus on the upward journey beheld their king in his place of honour and joined in the magnificent celebration. His time in heaven for these celebrations was momentary, as he had left the tomb just before dawn and had to return to earth that same day, still bearing the marks of the cruel wreath of the crown of thorns from his flogging from the guards of King Herod, and the wounds to his hands and feet and side from the cross.  The reason that Jesus had to return to the earth on that same Resurrection Sunday is that on the Sunday morning after the Passover Sabbath there was another feast that was part of the Passover Feast being celebrated by Israel. This was called the wave offering of the firsfruits – the sheaves or bunches of wheat or barley shoots that were the firstfruits of the harvest season. This festive day of the Passover feast was prophetic of the resurrection of Jesus on that day. The Bible twice declares to be the firstfruits of the resurrection (1Corinthians 15:20,23)  After the Passover Sabbath when you reap your harvest, bring the first sheaf of the harvest to the priest on the day after the Sabbath. He shall wave it before the Lord in a gesture of offering, and it will be accepted by the Lord as your gift… Fifty days later on the Feast of Pentecost you shall bring to the Lord an offering of a sample of the new grain of your later crops. (Leviticus 23:9-15). Jesus became the prime sheaf of the wave offering on that Sunday and the other company of people who also rose and appeared to many people in Jerusalem made up the rest of the sheaf. So Jesus returned to the earth that same day in a resurrected body that could never ever die again. He would now spend forty days on earth as a witness to his resurrection, and meeting with his disciples and being seen alive again by hundreds of people This resurrected body was without the constraints of a limited physical body, but it could be seen and recognized as a natural body. The remarkable certainty of how only Scripture can interpret Scripture is seen in this astounding eternal prophetic narrative of the Only One God the Father sending his Only One Son Jesus to bridge the gap between Divinity and humanity - through the sending of the Only One Holy Spirit to all of humanity. This means that there is an Only One way to live life on this earth with purpose and meaning and fulfillment. Any other narrative of life on this earth, no matter what it promises the human soul, is fraught with anxiety and uncertainty and helplessness and even despair. God has lovingly offered us his Gift of life – it is done – it is finished. It awaits our ‘yes' of believing Him and putting aside any other philosophy or ideology. That is called repentance and faith – Thank you for the Cross Lord.  

Join us for a profound conversation with Dr. Joel Muddamalle as we explore the often-overlooked space between Good Friday and Easter Sunday—Silent Saturday. From our live event in Costa Rica, Dr. Joel Muddamalle takes us deep into the mystery of Silent Saturday—a day that feels quiet, but was anything but empty. On Silent Saturday, Jesus was literally disarming death through death, robbing the grave, and setting its captives free. In fact, while Jesus is doing all of this, there are some rebellious angels that are imprisoned in the Depths of Hades (2 Peter 2:4) that witness all of this unfold.

John 2:24-25 But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men, and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man. These two verses are insightful. First, Jesus did not believe in man's believing as a result of merely undeniable facts, such as signs. The word entrusting comes from the word pistis (faith), which comes from the root peitho (to persuade or convince). When we believe something, we trust in it. Jesus did not trust in man's natural faith. Nor should we. Second, Jesus knew all men. The comment is interesting because John didn't say that Jesus knew these specific believers in His name, but that He knew all men. He knew what was in them, namely, the sin of unbelief and the inability of man to generate within himself new life. He knew He could not entrust Himself to any man unless the Father testified to Him that they were His, which leads us to the next insight. Third, Jesus didn't need anyone to testify or witness on behalf of man because the only testimony He needed was the testimony of the Father, that is, revelation by the Holy Spirit in the hearts of men concerning who He is. We see this most clearly in the encounter between Jesus and Simon Peter recorded in Matthew 16:16-18. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. Do you see it? Once Jesus heard His Father's testimony on Simon's behalf, the declaration that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, He knew Simon could be trusted with the keys of the kingdom. No one else could testify for Simon that He believed in Jesus' name. God-wrought faith is the testimony of God concerning each man. I get this from Hebrews 11. In verse 2, it says, “For by it the men of old gained approval.” The word translated approval is the same root word in John 2:25 translated testify. So, faith is an assurance or a testimony that men receive or gain from God, which testifies of His approval. Then the author went on to write about God testifying to Cain, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and many more that they were righteous by giving them faith. Without the testimony of His Father, Jesus would not entrust Himself to anyone. So we learn from these verses that there's a difference between the testimony of men who say they believe in Jesus and the testimony of God that produces saving faith in Jesus. Love for God and love for His people is the fruit of God's testimony concerning a man or woman. That's why I say we have been called to glorify God by living to love with Jesus. It is God's testimony to us that we truly have a God-wrought faith to which Jesus entrusts Himself. Please follow my line of reasoning. Love is the fruit of His life. If love is the fruit of our lives, not that we are perfect in love all the time, but that it is the practice of our lives, then Jesus has entrusted Himself to us. Isn't that assuring?! Living to love with Jesus is God's testimony to the world that we are His and Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

In this episode, Troy, Ben, Steve, and Andy unpack the question of where Jesus went after His death. Did He descend to Sheol? Hades? Hell? And why does it matter? Through the lens of passages like 1 Peter 3, they explore the theology of the afterlife, the purpose of Christ's suffering, and the hope His resurrection brings. This is a deep dive into the tension between death and victory — and what it means for us today.

Have you ever wondered… When Jesus died on the cross, did He really die, or just partially die? How did that work? Well, when He breathed His last on the cross, death attempted to take down the author of life. Without a doubt, He did die. He even lay dead in the grave for three days. Revelation 1:18, says this, Jesus says, I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and forever! And I hold the keys to death and Hades. At the moment of His death, the earth shook! There was a massive earthquake, and inside the temple, a thick veil was torn in half. That veil symbolized the separation between us, sinful humans, and our holy God. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, all who choose to follow Him are made clean. Always remember there is hope with God.

It's Monday, April 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. missionary abducted at gunpoint while preaching in South Africa Josh Sullivan, a U.S. Baptist missionary, was kidnapped at gunpoint as he preached Thursday evening at Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, South Africa, reports International Christian Concern. According to police, four masked gunmen entered the church late last night during a prayer meeting with about 30 attendees. The assailants stole two cell phones before abducting the 45-year-old pastor and taking him in his own vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner. The car was later found abandoned about a mile from the church.   A husband and father of six, Sullivan has been a missionary in South Africa since 2018. Sullivan and his family are members of Fellowship Baptist Church, an independent Baptist church in Maryville, Tennessee, where Sullivan has been on staff. His wife and children are among those who witnessed the kidnapping. Here at The Worldview, we're reminded of the inspiring words of Christ following Peter's bold affirmation. In Caesarea Phillipi, Peter said that Christ was “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” That's when Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, that upon that revelation, He would build His church, and “the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Join me and pray that the Lord would honor Josh Sullivan's preaching and safely restore him to his family. China raises duties on US goods to 125% Last Friday, China hiked its tariffs on imports of U.S. goods to 125%, hitting back at Donald Trump's decision to single out the world's No.2 economy for higher duties, while dismissing the U.S. president's tariff strategy as "a joke," reports Reuters. Investors had been waiting to see how Beijing would respond to Trump's move on Wednesday to effectively raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% while announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs on dozens of other countries' goods. Last year, China purchased $150 billion of U.S. goods. White House Press Secretary prays to Jesus before briefing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest person to ever serve the president in that capacity at the age of 27. Not only is she an articulate champion for President Donald Trump and the “Make America Great Again” agenda, but she is also an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ. Listen to this simple, powerful, and unapologetic prayer to her Savior  just moments before she walks into the lions' den of the White House Press Briefing. LEAVITT: “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Gone are the days that a lesbian God-hater stands at that podium. Judge: Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported Last Friday, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be deported from America because he is a national security risk following his pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia, reports the Associated Press. Immigration Judge Jamee Comans gave the green light to the Trump administration's desire to deport Khalil.  Without such deportation, the government contended that his presence posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.” Colorado Governor signs anti-gun law Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a self-professed homosexual who has entered into a faux marriage with his “husband,” has dealt a heavy blow to Coloradans' Second Amendment freedom by signing Senate Bill 3 into law, reports the Colorado State Shooting Association. This oppressive permit-to-purchase scheme is a direct attack on their Second Amendment rights, afflicting Coloradans with bureaucratic hurdles to block their God-given liberties, President George Washington declared, “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.” RFK, Jr vows to know causes of autism epidemic by September As he sat in Trump's Cabinet meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke to the autism epidemic and what he proposed to do about it. KENNEDY: “The autism rates have gone from one in 31 from one in 10,000 when I was a kid. At your direction, by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic.” Kennedy noted that HHS has “launched a massive testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world.”  Once they have identified the causes, hopefully by September, HHS will advocate for the elimination of those exposures. Libraries partner with Planned Parenthood to offer free sex health resources And finally, if you thought the library was a place to borrow books for a research paper or read the local daily paper, think again! Twelve Sacramento, California Public Libraries now feature “sexual health resource cabinets” inside public libraries to give the public, including children, access to items like condoms, Sexually Transmitted Diseases tests, and pregnancy tests, reports CBS News. These cabinets are being stocked by none other than Planned Parenthood, America's Abortion Giant, which killed 392,715 pre-born babies in 2023 alone.  In fact, QR codes on the free literature not only enables library patrons to easily find their local Planned Parenthood affiliate, but also to get their immoral worldview through their God-forsaken website. Michael Reed, a parent, was disturbed by the easy access to the sexual health resource cabinets, especially for kids. REED: “It's a little shocking. It seems a little inappropriate just to target children that way.” But Todd Deck, the community engagement services manager for Sacramento Public Libraries, thought the libraries were doing something wonderfully noble. DECK: "We want to remove the stigma around these resources. Libraries are essential to healthy, thriving communities. So, having resources that are of interest and needs of that community is really critical. I do believe it is our responsibility to help have an informed community regardless of the topic -- that way people can make informed decisions about their health." Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council, rejected the librarian's absurd worldview. BURT: “Now parents would have to be concerned. Instead of coming back with a book, they're going to come back with a condom. “This is really about cutting parents out. It's about sexualizing our kids at younger and younger ages.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Not surprisingly, the cabinets have been re-stocked multiple times since being installed six weeks ago as they have been set up both in the library's main hub and in the adult section. Elizabeth Johnston, a Christian mother of 10, is not surprised by the hostility to a Judeo-Christian worldview at the library. The American Library Association's one-time president Emily Drabinski, who served from July 2022 to 2024, was a self-avowed “Marxist lesbian.” She wrote a paper on “queering the catalogue” and said wildly inflammatory things about parents who do not want their children to read sexually inappropriate literature. So, keep in mind, the library is no friend of the family. Enter with caution.

Daily Voice Devotional with Niyi Adekunle Tuesday 15th April His Descent And Ascent 2Jesus didn't just come to earth to save us from sin, He died, descended to the lowest parts of it, to the realm of the dead, and then ascended to the highest place in heaven. And all this, He did this for your sake. When He died, he descended to Hades which is sometime referred to as hell, sheol or the place of the dead.Psalm 16:10 (NKJV), “For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.”Psalm 16:10 (TPT) puts it this way: “For you will not abandon me to the realm of death, nor will you allow your Faithful One to experience corruption.”According to Scriptures, Sheol, has two parts. In the story of Lazarus and the rich man, we see this clearly: Lazarus was carried to Abraham's bosom (paradise), while the rich man was in torment (hell). Luk.16:22-23 After His death on the cross, Jesus descended into Sheol to confront the devil and liberate those held captive. This is why Psalm 16:10 says, that “You will not leave my soul in hell, not allow you holy one sees corruption…”. Jesus went to the place of the dead, triumphed over the enemy and released the righteous souls awaiting redemption.This victory has significant meaning for us. It confirms that death and the powers of hell has no dominion over those in Christ. Jesus has already conquered Sheol, stripped the devil of his power, and broken the chains of the grave. Because of this, we now have access to life, freedom, and victory. Always remember this - IN CHRIST, DEATH AND HELL HAS NO POWER OVER YOU!I pray for you today: In every area the enemy seeks to exert the power of Sheol over your life—be it fear, bondage, or oppression—that power be broken in Jesus' Name. Christ has already finished the work for you. Stand in that victory and live free.God bless you, and enjoy your day.

In accordance with this, corresponding psalms are selected. In them the dwellings of the Lord of hosts and a burning desire to enter into them are depicted; the prophecy of the Lord's redemption of men is expounded; and the Lord's descent into Hades is portrayed. The history of the origins of the Ninth hour is the same as that of the First, Third, and Sixth Hours; it is ascribed to the third century and the years that followed, which may also be observed in surviving literary monuments. At the reading of the Hours it is customary to read the Troparion and Kontakion hymns of the feast (if applicable) or of the saint of the day. However, in order to make the Hours herein available for general use throughout the Church year, the Troparion and Kontakion to the Holy Cross are used.​​Used with permission.

Esperando al lanzamiento final este 5 de junio, la Switch 2 por fin se ha anunciado con todo lujo de detalles en París, en una Premiére internacional en el Grand Paláis de París a la que tuvimos el privilegio de asistir para comprobar, in situ, el desempeño de la heredera de la consola más éxitosa de Nintendo y una de las consolas más vendidas de la historia y de mayor y amplio impacto social y cultural en la industria del videojuego, la Switch (1). Probamos juegos, pudimos hablar con los responsables, así como con los estudios Third Parties implicados en el lanzamiento (como Cyberpunk 2077, Hades 2, Streetfighter o Yakuza). Toca compartir opiniones con colegas de otros medios y poner encima de la mesa un asunto que, al hilo del precio de lanzamiento de la consola y del precio de sus juegos con especial sobresalto por los 90 € de Mario Kart World, además de otros asuntos tampoco menores, hemos lanzado una pregunta: ¿NintenDOES what NintenDON’T? ¿Es este movimiento en pos de una consola muy dotada tecnológicamente y con esos precios un movimiento Nintendo? ¿Sigue en su propia liga o su nueva liga es la de más competencia? ¿Son los precios justificables teniendo en cuenta el contexto internacional y lo que realmente ofrecen consola y juegos? ¿Cómo de bueno son Mario Kart o DK Bananza?

Today's show features our first and likely only "Donkey Kong Sixty-Farce" segment, where we separate fact from fiction about the N64 classic, before diving into the latest Nintendo Switch 2 news. The upcoming console's pre-orders face delays due to tariff concerns, with Nintendo, the ESA, and even protesters in NYC responding to Trump's proposed 90-day tariffs on video games and tech. In Story Time, we go on to cover announcements including Marathon's April 2025 gameplay reveal, Hades 2's Switch console exclusivity, and the Nintendo Switch 2's achievement system, or lack therof. We also discuss Microsoft's AI Quake 2 Copilot demo, Vampire Survivors' free Emerald Diorama update, and Doug Bowser's comments on Nintendo game prices. And that's all for today's show!

Dr. Jacobs explains the Eastern Christian understanding of Christ's descent into Hades, distinguishing it from Hell. The letter clarifies how Eastern Church fathers viewed Christ's descent as destroying death's power and liberating humanity. A comparison with Western theological perspectives reveals fundamental differences in how these traditions understand this doctrine.All the links: YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheNathanJacobsPodcastX: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastSubstack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Website: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/Academia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs 

This week, Nigel and Tazziii enlist into the most secretive British spy agency with this deep dive into Kingsman: The Secret Service (starting at 24:36), with Aisha Ahmed, Freelance Community Manager & Journalist.We reminisce on this decade-old story and see if the comic book-inspired narrative still holds up or whether its portrayal of the London Roadman lifestyle is outdated in 2025. With a protagonist that displays a strong moral core beneath a rough exterior, it's a film that shares beats with another troubled youth who is enlisted into a super-secret agency to learn the tricks of the trade in order to take down a malevolent threat.We examine the depiction of social mobility in a Bond-like setting, debating whether the tonal balance between refined gentleman and ultra-violence works for this adventure and how the story's themes resonate with our panel. This week's storytelling tip is about implementing a "Save the Cat" moment in your story.Other stories we're enjoying include: Adolescence (Netflix), Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Crunchyroll), The Apothecary Diaries (Crunchyroll), I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time (Crunchyroll), Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms (Crunchyroll), Sakamoto Days (Netflix), Dr Stone (Crunchyroll), Vinland Saga (Netflix), Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+)Guest LinksConnect with Aisha online: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/Hades_kitty - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Aisha_kicks_ass - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@Aisha_anime - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@AishaAhmedAnime

PS This is Awesome: Episode 372Fred is still clocking hours in Octopath Traveler 2, staying steady at around 34 hours. Jake's been making solid progress in Jedi Survivor, now about 20 hours in and still loving it. He also watched the director's cut of Robocop this week, which got him pumped to dive into Robocop: Rogue City—and yeah, he's playing that now too.As for the news, Bungie is finally ready to show off more of Marathon during a livestream on Saturday, April 12th. Hopefully this one delivers—we're all overdue for a real look at what that reboot's going to be. In other updates, Horizon Zero Dawn's planned TV series isn't happening anymore. Creative differences reportedly got in the way, so now it's being reimagined as a movie instead. Honestly, could be a better fit.There's also chatter around the Switch 2 and what it even is at this point. Hades 2 is launching first on Switch and PC, which makes sense—but it does raise the question: do we even consider the Switch 2 a full console anymore? Or is it basically a high-powered handheld? The lines are getting blurrier, that's for sure.Let's get into the show!By joining our Patreon community for ONLY $1.00 per month, you'll also enjoy these exclusive benefits:Early Access: Be the first to listen to our episodes as soon as they're ready.

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox has announced their big summer showcase, followed immediately by an Outer Worlds 2-focused Direct. And they just happen to line up on the final day of this year's IGN Live, so come join us for live coverage of the Xbox Showcase, and more! In other news, Hades 2 will be a timed console exclusive for the Switch 2. The game will also come to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, but PlayStation and Xbox users will have to wait a bit. And finally, the Switch 2 GameCube controller might only work on GameCube Classics titles from Nintendo Switch Online. Bummer, if you were hoping to play Smash Bros. Ultimate with the new GameCube controller, but then again, it might work and Nintendo is just covering their bases just in case.

The following was recorded LIVE at the Bellhouse in Brooklyn NY on December 6th 2024. It features the combined majesty and genius of Eric Gersen (keys) and Sarah Mullins (Drums). For legal reasons we've been told we can't call this one Hadestown, despite the fact that both Hades and a Town are involved. Also at one point the keyboard instrument patch is so funny to us that we basically stop the show to march around for a while. You will know it when you hear it. GODS, they're just like us maybe?

Revelation 6:1-17   6:1 Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and behold, a white horse, and the one who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” 4 And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that people would kill one another; and a large sword was given to him. 5 When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” 7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” 8 I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and famine, and plague, and by the wild animals of the earth. 9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who live on the earth?” 11 And a white robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was completed also. 12 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”     BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

It's Tuesday, April 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Horrific Muslim persecution of Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa The Gatestone Institute's International Policy Center has released its report on the persecution of Christians in Africa.   The report claims that the West is ignoring the carnage playing out in Sub-Sahara Africa, and that Muslim “Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria.” The newly-installed Syrian government and the al-Qaeda-affiliated HTS terrorists, are still conducting door-to-door purges, massacring religious minorities in cruel, sadistic ways. Reliable reports indicate they have massacred 7,000 Christians and Alawites, a sect of Islam. And the death toll is still rising. Jihad is spreading in at least twelve African nations. Muslim jihadists beheaded 70 Christians in the Congo in February. Church leaders are targeted, abducted, tortured, and murdered. Christian villages have been burned down. Plus, pastors, priests and lay Christians have been abducted by the Islamist Allied Democratic Forces. More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadist violence and conflict. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced labor. Some are forced to act as suicide bombers or human shields at the hands of jihadis. Boko Haram and the Islamic State West African Province regularly attack, abduct, and murder Christians in Cameroon located in Central Africa. Churches have been set on fire and church leaders and seminary students kidnapped. Plus, the report claims that no Christian is safe in Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa.  Hundreds of churches there have been closed. The Muslim-run nation of Libya, in North Africa on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, countenances widespread slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking. Sharia law is strictly upheld. For a Muslim to convert to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. Any Libyan woman suspected of associating with Christians faces house arrest, sexual assault, forced marriage, or even death. Nigeria remains the worst example of Jihadist murder and mayhem. Tens of thousands of Christians have been murdered and thousands of women and girls have been abducted and subjected to sexual violence. But, do keep in mind what Jesus said in Matthew 16:18. He declared, “On this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” British Christian nurse in trouble for referring to confused man as man More outrageousness from the United Kingdom. A nurse has lost her job with the National Health Service because she was caught referring to a pedophile transgender person as a “Mister.” Nurse Jennifer Melle, age 40, was fired from her job in Carshalton, Surrey, after having to endure the patient hurling racial slurs at her. She added, “I am devastated to have been suspended. … Despite being the one placed at risk, I am the one being punished. The message I have received is clear: I am expected to tolerate racism, deny biological reality, and suppress my deeply-held Christian beliefs." Appearing on Free Speech Nation, she shared her Biblical convictions. MELLE: “I thank Jesus for giving me the courageous spirit, standing on the Word of God. According to the Word of God, Genesis 1:27 said, ‘God created a male and female.' I just stood by it. I said, ‘Well, I'm a Christian woman, and I love the Lord, and I know beyond male and female is an abomination to the Lord. And I can't do that.'” Represented by the Christian Legal Centre, Andrea Williams, its chief executive, criticized the National Health Service for allegedly focusing on trans ideology instead of protecting its staff from racial and physical abuse. U.S.-China tariff war heats up The tit-for-tat tariff war with China is heating up.   On Friday, China announced a 34% tariff on U.S. imports as an answer to President Trump's 34% reciprocal tariff. Yesterday, the U.S. president announced an additional tariff of 50% effective tomorrow, unless China backs down, reports CBS News. Aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, President Trump did not pull any punches. TRUMP: “When you look at the trade deficit that we have with certain countries, way over a billion [dollars] per country. With China, it's a trillion dollars. And we have to solve our trade deficit with China. We have a trillion dollar trade deficit with China. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose with China. And unless we solve that problem, I'm not going to make a deal. “Now, I'm willing to deal with China, but they have to solve their surplus. We have a tremendous deficit problem with China. They have a surplus of at least a trillion dollars a year. And I want that solved. No other President has taken it on.” New Yorkers need “good moral character” before carrying handgun The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a New York law that requires residents to demonstrate “good moral character” before they are permitted to carry a handgun. The law requires applicants to have “the essential character, temperament and judgement necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself or others.” Stocks, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq down U.S. stocks are down over the last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 4,000 points, 11% down for the year.   And the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down by about 2,000 points, settling around 15,570 points on Monday evening. The Nasdaq is down 19% on the year, about where it was in November 2021.  Court awards 7,000 sexual abuse victims $4 billion in Los Angeles While the state-controlled foster care system is supposed to protect children, the unaccountable system, made up of sinful men and women, has become the predator. Last week, the courts awarded a record $4 billion against the Los Angeles County's juvenile detention and foster care system. The settlement was the largest of this kind, distributed to 7,000 plaintiffs — victims of unspeakable sexual abuse. L.A. officials have issued concerns that the fine might bankrupt the county.  The rise of America's “assassination culture” The Network of Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab have issued a report concerned with a rising “assassination culture” in the United States.  Especially troubling is the view that 31% of respondents stated it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder Elon Musk.  And 38% said it would be at least somewhat justifiable to murder President Donald Trump. Among those who identify left of center, 48% to 55% would justify these assassinations. 22 million watched House of David finale And finally, the producers of the Amazon-released program, House of David, announced over the weekend, that the season finale had achieved #1 on Prime.

He called the present times “a completely new world.”  Former Brazilian president thanked God for Trump's re-election Brazil's previous president Jair Bolsonaro addressed a peaceful protest of 40,000 in Sao Paulo over the weekend, thanking God publicly that Donald Trump was re-elected in the United States, reports Breitbart.

Matthew 16:17-20 New King James Version   17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

Have you ever said the words from the Creed at Mass, “he descended into hell” and wondered, “Really? Jesus did? Why?” The Catechism shares the secrets of this line from the Creed and shows us how Jesus' descent into hell “brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfillment.” Fr. Mike makes it clear to us that Jesus did not come to save only the righteous who happened to be alive during his time here on earth, but he came to save all those righteous men and women who came before him and would come after him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 631-637. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

John 1:42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas” (which is translated as Peter). Names are important. Obviously they are identifiers. The name, Simon, was the most popular name in the first century Hebrew culture. It is a derivative of Simeon. It means to hear or to listen or to understand. In Matthew 16, when Jesus told Simon he would be called Cephas or Peter, we learn that Peter means rock. Let's consider how these two names relate to each other for our encouragement today. First, Jesus told Simon Peter that He would build His church upon this rock. He didn't say He would build it upon Peter, but upon the Father revealing that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Let's consider the context of Matthew 16:16-19. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Jesus would often say, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Simon Peter was a testimony to how Jesus builds His church—with the Father giving its members ears to hear— that's the meaning of the name Simon. Jesus stated it plainly—His Father gave Simon the ability to hear and understand who Jesus is. He gave Simon the power to believe. The apostle Paul understood this truth when he wrote to the Romans in 10:17, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” So hearing from the Father comes first. Second, once someone hears and faith in Christ is received, then he or she becomes a living stone in Jesus' church. The gift of hearing—Simon—is the rock—Peter—upon which Jesus builds His church. The second name follows the first name. God builds His church through Jesus as faith comes from supernatural hearing. There must first be Simon before there can be Peter. When you put the two together, the church of Jesus Christ is built. The names Simon and Peter reflect God's work in building the church. What happens when you put hearing and faith together? Notice in the Matthew 16 passage, Jesus said He would give Simon Peter the keys of the kingdom, which in essence is faith at work, binding and loosing what has already been bound and loosed in heaven. It is the gift of faith that unleashes the will of God in the unseen realm into this world. That is the work of His church. The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, said, “For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.” That's how the Lord builds His church. We are given ears to hear Him, faith is produced, and then we love with Him, unleashing His power and will in the world. In a wonderful sense, all believers are built on the meaning of the names Simon and Peter. That's what's in the names. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Edu Aurrai e Evandro de Freitas batem um papo sobre o gênero roguelike. Ele é um dos mais distintos e desafiadores do universo dos videogames. Inspirado no clássico jogo "Rogue", lançado em 1980, esse estilo é marcado por elementos como geração procedural de fases, morte permanente (permadeath) e progressão baseada em tentativa e erro. A principal característica de um roguelike é a imprevisibilidade. Cada partida é única, pois os mapas, inimigos, itens e eventos são gerados aleatoriamente. Isso exige que o jogador se adapte constantemente, criando estratégias dinâmicas para sobreviver em ambientes hostis e mutáveis.Outro ponto central é a permadeath: quando o personagem morre, o progresso é perdido, forçando o jogador a recomeçar desde o início. Apesar disso, muitos jogos modernos do gênero — frequentemente chamados de roguelites — introduzem sistemas de progressão persistente, permitindo que certas habilidades, itens ou upgrades sejam mantidos entre as sessões, tornando o jogo mais acessível sem perder o senso de desafio. O apelo dos roguelikes está na sua alta rejogabilidade, no senso de conquista após superar obstáculos difíceis e na constante sensação de descoberta. Títulos como "The Binding of Isaac", "Dead Cells" e "Hades" popularizaram o gênero nos últimos anos, trazendo mecânicas refinadas, visuais marcantes e narrativas envolventes.Essa é mais uma edição da nossa série Hall da Fama dos Gêneros!- ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil! Acesse o nosso link e ganhe 15% de desconto na matrícula! https://alura.com.br/99vidas

Pastor Jeremy | BFBC-Glendive | Sunday Keys are designed to grant you access to something or someplace valuable. ● Keys are not utilized to withhold something from you...they are designed to hold something for you. ● If you have a key, you can access the thing or place that holds value. ● Matt 16:17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” ● God is not withholding something from you...He is holding something FOR you. The Key ofSalvation John 3:1-3 then skip to verses 16 & 17 Rom 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” Col 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. ● Paul told Agrippa his assignment from God was to turn people from darkness to light...from the power of satan to the power of God. After Salvation we are “In Christ” ● Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ● We WERE: dead, children of wrath, led by our flesh, without Christ, strangers, aliens, without God, without hope, afar off, & foreigners. ● We ARE: alive, together, raised up, saved, His handiwork, near, at peace, new, reconciled, citizens, members, & stable. ● NOW: have access to God, He shows us His exceeding riches of His grace and kindness, do good works, have access to the Father, growing into a holy temple in the Lord, & we are a dwelling place for God. ● Verse 13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your feelings granting you access to the things of God. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your opinion granting you access to the things of God. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your intellect granting you access to the things of God. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your career granting you access to the things of God. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your role in the home granting you access to the things of God. ● Eph 2 mentions nothing about your race, gender, economic status, social status, political party preference, or church affiliation granting you access to the things of God.

His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.#DanielBatarseh #Revelation #BookofRevelation #BibleStudy #mbchicago #mbcchicago #Bible #versebyverse #sermon #sermons #sermononline #bookofrevelation #bookofrevelations #revelation #revelations #newtestament #scripture #verses #lessons #church #chicago #livechurch #churchlive #chicagochurch #chicagochurches #prophecy #prophetic #jesus #jesuschrist

This week, Alicia invited Alicia King Anderson Ph.D. to talk all things Persephone and Hades, the Queen and King of the Underworld. We unpack the myth of this royal couple down below. How does a young girl, Kore, complete the transformation into Persephone? Who is Hades and why is he messing with his niece, Kore? How does the whole snatching of the beautiful maiden go down, and what happens in the Underworld? It's a story with complicated supernatural family ties, a kidnapping, a mother's grief, famine, a marriage, and - big headline - the introduction of seasons into the human world. And this myth was a foundational piece of the Eleusinian Mysteries, which helped initiates of the cult of Demeter and Persephone abandon their fear of death.
