#LONDINIUM90AD: MICHAEL VLAHOS. FRIENDS OF HISTORY DEBATING SOCIETY. @MICHALIS_VLAHOS HEADLINE: The American Empire Inheritance: Emperor Trump at Windsor Castle The conversation draws parallels between the Roman Empire and the current American Empire, emphasizing that the US inherited its imperial role. A state dinner at Windsor Castle, steeped in centuries of British tradition, was cited as a visual representation of this transition, featuring King Charles III hosting Emperor Trump. The setting—lined with gold, silver, and portraits of those who delivered the British Empire—symbolized the transfer of legacy to America. Germanicus notes that the American Empire's reach is solid, mirroring Rome's authority over an oecumene (the known world) and its ability to have supplicant kings, such as Herod the Great serving Augustus. The speakers argue that many Americans, unlike the "prissy elite," recognize the imperial reality. They criticize maintaining the "fig leaf" of the nation founded by George Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin, stating that until the US recognizes itself as an empire, it cannot act strategically to defend or move it forward. Mr. Trump is seen as refreshing because he does not hide this reality, thereby forcing this necessary recognition. 1876 NERO

Acts 23:11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”   Acts 23:12-22 - Over 40 men plotted to kill Paul.  Acts 24:1–21- Before Governor Felix - Paul was accused of being a troublemaker and desecrating the temple. Acts 25:1–12 - Before Governor Festus - The Jewish leaders pressed Festus to send Paul to Jerusalem for trial (planning an ambush). Acts 26:1–32 - Before King Agrippa II (with Festus present) - Paul appeared before Agrippa while Festus accused him of being insane. Acts 27:13–44 - Paul endured a violent storm and shipwreck.  Acts 28:1–6 - Snakebitten on Malta - Surviving the shipwreck, Paul was bitten by a viper, and the islanders assumed he was cursed.   It's Gonna Happen on the Way   Acts 9:15-16 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”     Acts 24:1–21- Before Governor Felix - Paul preached the resurrection. Acts 25:1–12 - Before Governor Festus - Paul appealed to Caesar.

If you do not engage in God's mission, then you will not mature.    It's gonna happen, but not the way you thought.   It's gonna happen through tests and trials.   Take courage.  Through tests and trials, God's mission and your maturity will happen.

Today we will complete our study of Acts and as you'll see it ends in a rather unique way. Some have referred to this book as the Unfinished Symphony. But that's very much intentional as the story continues right on into the present day. It's all about spreading the gospel message, in spite of the dangers and roadblocks! The book of Acts describes the gospel moving from Jerusalem to Rome. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29

When I accompanied my friend to the salon on her birthday, we were delighted by the pampering we received. Soothing music and a personal attendant welcomed us to the tranquil, dimly lit spa. The whole experience was calm, quiet, and restful. I had to suppress a giggle, however, at a sign displayed on a table proclaiming: “This organic hair-care line gives you more than beautiful hair—it gives you peace of mind.” Even though we know neither hair products nor a salon can bring lasting peace, we often settle for temporary relief when our world is stressful. True peace only comes from one thing—or rather, one person. While encouraging the believers in Jesus in Rome, Paul reminded them, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Sin separates us from God, but Christ’s atoning sacrifice makes a way for us to have a relationship with Him (5:9-10). Jesus offers peace for today and peace for eternity—providing “access into this grace” (v. 1), “the hope of the glory of God” (v. 2) and hope despite earthly suffering (vv. 3-4). Peace with God is more than simply a feeling, it’s a gift we receive through faith in Jesus. Whether we feel close to God or not, His peace is available to us— at a salon or a hospital, in times of serenity and times of chaos.

Le Vietnam est aujourd'hui l'un des rares pays d'Asie à utiliser un alphabet basé sur les lettres latines. Ce choix, qui peut surprendre dans une région où dominent les écritures chinoise, khmère ou encore thaïe, est le résultat d'une histoire longue mêlant influences étrangères, colonisation et adaptation culturelle.Pendant des siècles, les Vietnamiens ont utilisé le chữ Hán, c'est-à-dire les caractères chinois classiques. Cette écriture, réservée aux lettrés, servait dans l'administration, la littérature et la diplomatie. Mais elle était complexe et difficile à maîtriser. Pour la vie quotidienne, un système parallèle, le chữ Nôm, fut progressivement créé : il reprenait des caractères chinois existants ou en inventait de nouveaux pour transcrire les mots vietnamiens. Bien que plus adapté à la langue locale, le chữ Nôm restait compliqué et ne s'est jamais généralisé à toute la population.Le tournant intervient au XVIIᵉ siècle, avec l'arrivée de missionnaires chrétiens, notamment portugais et français, qui cherchent à transcrire la langue vietnamienne pour faciliter la prédication et l'apprentissage. Parmi eux, le jésuite français Alexandre de Rhodes joue un rôle décisif. En 1651, il publie à Rome un dictionnaire trilingue vietnamien–portugais–latin. Il met au point un système utilisant l'alphabet latin, enrichi de signes diacritiques (accents, tilde, crochets) pour indiquer les six tons de la langue vietnamienne. Ce système est appelé quốc ngữ, littéralement « écriture nationale ».Pendant longtemps, le quốc ngữ reste marginal, utilisé surtout par les missionnaires et quelques convertis chrétiens. Mais au XIXᵉ siècle, la colonisation française change la donne. Les autorités coloniales y voient un outil pratique pour administrer le pays : plus simple à enseigner et à apprendre que les caractères chinois, l'alphabet latin permet d'alphabétiser plus rapidement. Les Français l'imposent progressivement dans les écoles au détriment du chữ Hán et du chữ Nôm.Au début du XXᵉ siècle, le quốc ngữ devient un instrument de modernisation et de revendication nationale. Les intellectuels vietnamiens l'utilisent pour publier journaux, romans et tracts politiques, contribuant à diffuser plus largement les idées nouvelles et à éveiller la conscience nationale. Après l'indépendance, les gouvernements successifs le maintiennent comme système officiel, car il favorise une alphabétisation massive et rapide.Aujourd'hui, le Vietnam est fier de son alphabet latin, perçu comme un facteur d'unité et de modernité. Il témoigne d'une histoire complexe, où une invention missionnaire, d'abord marginale, est devenue un outil d'émancipation culturelle et politique.En résumé, si le Vietnam écrit en alphabet latin, c'est grâce à la rencontre entre l'ingéniosité missionnaire, la domination coloniale et la volonté des Vietnamiens de se doter d'un système simple, efficace et accessible à tous.

It's a dog's life at Rome's international airport. And AP correspondent Donna Warder reports, it's all about luxury.

After going through 3 trials by the Jews, a short trial before Pilate and then before Herod, Jesus is brought back to Pilate the Governor of Judea. What takes place here is a detailed dialogue between these two men. One had been given the job to rule over Judea and to bring law and order and stop any uprisings, and the other is accused of being a leader of a sedition and one who opposed Rome. In the end Pilate stood Amazed in the Presence of Jesus the Nazarene! To watch today's video, just click on this link!

During the 11th Century, Christendom was torn in two as Constantinople and Rome finally parted ecclesiastical ways. Still, the west did answer the cry for aid from the East with the first crusade, which successfully repelled the Muslim invaders. The brutal conduct of the crusaders however, cemented the East-West divide that had occurred earlier in the century.

Before baptism he was a renowned military commander under Trajan. While hunting in the woods, he met a great stag with a shining Cross between his antlers. Through the stag, the Lord spoke to Placidas (his pagan name) and told him to find a priest and be baptized into Christ. Returning home, he found that his wife Tatiana had also had a vision in which she was told to become a Christian. They were baptized, Placidas receiving the name Eustathius, and Tatiana the name Theopiste; their two sons were baptized with them. Eustathius and his family were almost immediately subjected to a series of grievous trials, in which all were separated from one another. After years of hardship they were re-united, and returned to Rome with honor when the Emperor sought out Eustathius to command his army once again. But when the Emperor Hadrian (who had succeeded Trajan) commanded them to worship the idols, all of them refused. They were put together into a large bronze ox which was heated white-hot in a fire. When their bodies were removed, they were found to be dead but intact. The Prologue concludes, 'Thus this glorious general gave to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is God's, and entered into the eternal Kingdom of Christ our God.

Daily Dose of Hope September 19, 2025   Scripture - Luke 21   Prayer: Holy God, We rejoice and give praise for the ways you care for us.  We rejoice and give praise for how you continue to forgive us and give us second and third chances.  Help us seek lives characterized by your holiness.  Help us seek pure hearts.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers and help us bring together all our scattered thoughts and focus on you...It's in your name we pray, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan from New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are deep diving into Luke 21.    Jesus' time on earth is coming to a conclusion.  We are getting very close to Passion week.  And we can see Jesus' language and discussion getting more pressing.  There is an urgency to what he has to say.    At the end of chapter 20, Jesus speaks of how the Pharisees and scribes (and really the whole religious system) are devouring widows' houses. They require much of the poor but they give little to help them.  This leads into the beginning of chapter 21, in which Jesus points out the sacrificial offering of the widow.  He speaks of how so many of the people who are part of the religious system give gifts out of their wealth; but the widow gives all she has despite her desperate poverty.  He recognizes her faithful obedience and holds her up as an example.  Just FYI, this probably really angered the Pharisees.   We go from the Temple offering to the prophecy of the destruction of the Temple and the end times.  One of the disciples comments on the grandeur of the Temple.  Jesus then tells them that the whole Temple will eventually be destroyed.  Every stone will be turned.    Keep in mind that for the Jews, this is where God's presence resided.  This is a holy place.  But the Pharisees and the current system have allowed the Temple to be corrupted.  They have disobeyed God's ways.  And Jesus predicts that it will be destroyed.    What we know is that the Temple was destroyed by Rome just 37 years later.  This would be an ugly season in Jerusalem's history, with lots of persecution and oppression.  Is this what Jesus is referring to in nation rising against nation, famines, earthquakes, and so forth?  Scholars don't all agree but I think it's safe to say yes and no.  Yes, the Roman armies destroying Jerusalem in AD 70 was pretty horrific.  Much of the population was starved and/or eventually massacred.   But there is more to this.  This is more than just a “in the near future” scenario. It's also likely that Jesus is referring to the end of times and when he will return to judge all people.  If you recall, in the Matthew version of this text, we actually have images of Jesus returning on the clouds with the loud trumpet call; this echoes prophecy in Daniel.    And up until this point, Jesus has alluded to this.  He never tells people to be scared or worried, just to be ready and be watchful.  As believers, we have nothing to fear.  We belong to Jesus.  Just be ready.  But there is still an urgency to this – how seriously do we take this?  Are we busy doing God's business, which includes leading people to Jesus?  Is sharing the story of Jesus a regular part of who we are as believers?  If not, why?  Do you believe that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead?  These are serious questions that every single one of us has to reckon with.    One other thing to mention: At this point, the disciples still don't understand that God's presence now dwells in the person of Jesus Christ.  From their perspective, the Temple still holds the presence of God.  But the Good News of Jesus is that God's presence is no longer in a building but in Jesus.  God is Jesus and Jesus is God.   If that isn't enough to blow your mind, consider that the presence of God is now also in the person of the Holy Spirit.  Where does the Holy Spirit dwell?  Well, in us as believers!  So that means that the presence of God is in Jesus' church, his people.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In Episode 181 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan explores the human condition through the lens of history, literature, and modern politics, revealing how oppression sparks rebellion. From Spartacus' uprising against Rome to the French Revolution's guillotines, the repressed have always risen against their oppressors. Drawing parallels to Shakespeare's Macbeth and Princess Leia's defiance in Star Wars, Alan shows how dehumanization fuels resistance. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination on September 10, 2025, conservatives are pushing back against the Left's censorship and cancel culture, ushering in an era of accountability culture. Join Alan as he honors Kirk's legacy and examines why the tighter the grip, the fiercer the rebellion. Tune in for a powerful reflection on freedom, justice, and the unyielding spirit of those who refuse to be silenced.

What would it take to convince you that someone rose from the dead? In this powerful episode, Stephen Davey walks through the gospel account of Jesus' resurrection and the unexpected witnesses who saw it firsthand. You'll hear how women who arrived with spices left with a message, how disciples ran from confusion to belief, and how a brokenhearted woman became the first to see the risen Lord. God didn't rely on prestige or power to validate the resurrection. He used people from all walks of life—some wealthy, others forgotten, all transformed by grace. Why were women the first messengers in a society that ignored their voice? Why were grave clothes so important to the narrative? And why didn't Jesus show up at the temple or in front of Rome's officials? Because His resurrection was never about performance—it was about personal transformation. If you've ever doubted the resurrection or wondered how a first-century tomb could still change lives today, this episode will renew your faith. You'll discover that you, too, are called to be a witness to something miraculous.

Shmuel Bak (Samuel Bak), the internationally renowned artist and Holocaust survivor, presented in a lengthy conversation with his friend, The Yiddish Voice co-host Sholem Beinfeld. Excerpts from Pucker Gallery's page about Bak: Samuel Bak was born in Vilna, Poland in 1933, at a crucial moment in modern history. From 1940 to 1944, Vilna was under Soviet, then German occupation. Bak's artistic talent was first recognized during an exhibition of his work in the Ghetto of Vilna when he was nine years old. While he and his mother survived, his father and four grandparents all perished at the hands of the Nazis. At the end of the war, he fled with his mother to the Landsberg Displaced Persons Camp, where he enrolled in painting lessons at the Blocherer School in Munich. In 1948, they immigrated to the newly established state of Israel. He studied at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem and completed his mandatory service in the Israeli army. In 1956, he went to Paris to continue his education at the École des Beaux Arts.... Bak has exhibited extensively in major museums, galleries, and universities throughout Europe, Israel, and the United States. He lived and worked in Tel Aviv, Paris, Rome, New York, and Lausanne before settling in Massachusetts in 1993 and becoming an American citizen. Bak has been the subject of articles, scholarly works, and over twenty books, most notably a 400-page monograph entitled Between Worlds. In 2001, he published his touching memoir, Painted in Words, which has been translated into four languages, and a biography entitled Art & Life: The Story of Samuel Bak was published in 2023.

Neoborn Caveman unleashes a caveman-sized takedown of hatred's toxic grip on our fractured world—from Chinese botnets fueling Middle East rage to Eurovision boycotts turning art into a battlefield. We dissect the "spherical attack" on humanity: plastic-saturated clothes seeping into our bloodstreams, data-hoarding blood banks eyeing your DNA for 30 years, and air pollution blackening icons like Delhi's Red Fort and the Taj Mahal (spoiler: it's not your campfire's fault). But fear not—this isn't doom-scrolling; it's a rallying cry for radical positivity. Learn why almonds slash bad cholesterol for metabolic warriors like us, how Chaplin's Great Dictator speech still slays divisive triggers, and why music—like Sami Chohfi's globe-trotting anthems of connection—builds bridges where propaganda burns them. We champion sovereignty over social contracts no one signed, warn of financial whirlwinds dwarfing 2008, and arm you with tools to protect kids, pets, and your eternal worth. Hatred drains the soul; greatness refuels it. Tune in, unplug the machine, and remember: you're not alone in this extraordinary, ordinary world. Slurp, burp, and rise.Key TakeawaysYou're Built for Greatness: Your unique existence isn't random—embrace it as eternal fuel, untethered from wealth, norms, or globalist gears.Guard Your Sovereignty Fiercely: No registry owns your data—question blood banks hoarding DNA, reject the invisible machine siphoning your soul.Modern Life's a Slow Poison—Fight Back Naturally: Ditch processed junk for God-made gems like organic almonds and green tea; they heal guts, hearts, and barriers against the plastic plague.The Spherical Siege Is Real: From noise-polluted streets to unlivable air turning monuments black, we're under 360° assault—but logic (not "trust the science") exposes the culprits.Brace for Unprecedented Turbulence: Next three years eclipse 2008's bubble burst; thrive without governments by trading, supporting kin, and listening to the good word.Evil Shouts, Good Whispers Louder: More souls are gold than grime; drown bots and agitprop in cat purrs, prayers, and nature walks.Reject the Parasites, Claim Your Throne: WEF, Club of Rome, Shite Gates? Nah—we're sovereign cogs who opt out. History's real lessons (not curricula lies) prove society spins sans their strings.Chapters00:00 Embracing Individual Value and Positivity02:53 The Dangers of Hatred and Division05:47 Sovereignty and Personal Data Concerns08:44 The Impact of Modern Life on Health11:40 The Spherical Attack on Humanity15:04 Anticipating Future Challenges17:05 Health Insights and Nutritional Advice19:05 The Role of Music and Art in Society21:28 The Influence of Hatred in Society26:38 The Power of Positivity and Connection30:30 Cultural Commentary and Social Responsibility34:01 The Importance of Unity Over Division36:49 Recognizing Greatness Within Us38:16 Environmental Concerns and Responsibility41:58 Awakening to True History and SovereigntySound Bites"You were designed to be great...

“Who were the Desert Fathers and their impact on Catholicism?” This episode explores the lives and teachings of these early Christian ascetics, while also addressing questions like why Mother Angelica has not been beatified and how to interpret the recent LGBT pilgrimage to Rome. Tune in for a rich discussion on the early church and its relevance today. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 12:35 – why has Mother Angelica not been beatified? 14:45 – How should we interpret the recent LGBT pilgrimage to Rome? 18:15 – If the early church had martyrs, are those martyrs saints. Also, if Charlie Kirk is considered a martyr, could one day he be considered a saint? 22:40 – Did the early church interpret Genesis literally, and then after we realized it doesn't really correspond to our scientific knowledge, we just started saying it's not literal? (this is what her son is claiming) 31:12 – I was raised in an independent fundamentalist Baptist church. I'm looking at Catholicism. I want to read writers of the early church. Where do I find that and how do I know if it's a good translation? 34:30 – How do we know if the early church fathers were Catholic? Because Protestants quote them too. How do we know St. Augustine wasn't Protestant? 41:15 – I understand for a sin to be mortal we need have knowledge that the act is sinful. But do we have to know the act is specifically a grave offence, or do we just need to know that it is sinful. For example, if one commits a grave offense, but things that act is only venially sinful, would it still be a mortal sin? 46:28 – The Bible says that Mary visited Elizabeth in her sixth month. I saw a video that says that means the sixth month of the year, not Elizabeth's sixth month of pregnancy. Which way does the Church teach? 50:40 – Were some of the early church fathers Eastern Orthodox? I know the Eastern Orthodox have their church fathers, so whose are right?

At this moment, Jim and Amos are in Vienna, Austria.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 159 - Michael McDonough - Cinematographer We speak with cinematographer Michael McDonough (BOSCH, SUNSET SONG, WINTER'S BONE) in this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. If you listened to our conversation with Debra Granik (Season 2, Episode 158), then you know a bit about Michael already. He fills in what she left out, and we learn how he came to pursue filmmaking as a career after roaming around Rome on a year-long printmaking scholarship during his time in art college. We further discuss his professional partnership with Debra, and we also trade stories about working with director Michael Radford. In addition to his work in film, Michael has shot long-running television series such as FEAR THE WALKING DEAD and BOSCH, and he shares how he does the best he can given the limitations of working in the format. Michael also reflects on how BOSCH incorporates Los Angeles' rich noir history into the show's look, and we learn what advice he would give his younger self if he were starting out again. Among the other topics discussed in our conversation: lighting lessons learned from observing cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and the allure of Venice Beach in the winter. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Sandstorm
