NOTE: SHOW LINKS FOR ALL THE MENTIONED PODCASTERS WILL BE ADDED SOON (AND WILL ALSO BE IN THE NOTES FOR NEXT EPISODE TO ENSURE THEY GET SEEN), FOR NOW GETTING THIS OUT WHILE I CAN! TRANSCRIPT: Good Evening Everyone, Welcome to Popeular History. My name is Gregg, and this is another admin update I'll try to keep from being too boring, in part by offering some observations and speculations about the new Papacy interspersed throughout. First, some personal updates. I was very tired by the end of last week, thank you for asking. I got some rest and then made sure Vice-Pope Mrs. Popeular History's primary Mother's Day present was rest. I am immeasurably grateful for her support, but the reality is even if she weren't so supportive of this passion project of mine and the fairly unhinged extremes I took it to in the last few weeks, I would still be immeasurably grateful to her for a million other things. She's the best partner I could have ever hoped to have for so many reasons, and all of you are welcome to be jealous. I'd also like to thank my children for being malleable enough that I can pass on my love of the faith in general and also my nerdiness to them. Patrick, Catherine, Joseph, William, Gabriel, I love you all and thank you for sharing me with the internet a bit more lately. I try to shield my children from my more concentrated geekery so they can have somewhat normal childhoods, much like I try to spare my Vice Pope so she can have a somewhat normal marriage, but I will admit I felt a special sense of pride when I heard footsteps after I had invited any of my children interested in appearing on one of my livestreams to come on down to the studio. Those footsteps were from Catherine, who was by that point a good hour and a half into a livestream of the Pope's funeral that had began at 4am our time. To be clear, the kids aren't usually up at that time–I mean, neither am I–but wanting to be on the livestream she had asked to be awakened when it began, so I woke her and set her up with a watching station before kicking things off. Days later, she still excitedly references things from it. Just one of many special times from the last couple weeks. My thanks go not only to my immediate household, but to my family beyond as well, in particular my father, who came over at another particularly uncivil hour and summoned black smoke basically as soon as he arrived so I could go rest, as well as my in-laws, who bore with me through a packed weekend of a wedding and a papal funeral. And again, Vice Pope-Mrs Popeular history through it all. Thanks are due as well to the lovely and supportive folks at work. I wouldn't want to name anyone who would rather I not name them, so I will be general when I say the atmosphere there has been lovely, and in particular I appreciate those who knew I was their best local source for answers to questions about Popes and Cardinals and conclaves and such. I lead a charmed life these days, and work, from my team to my coworkers to those above me and those supporting me, is full of amazing people I could not appreciate more. Before I thank even more people, including you the listeners, let's talk about the New Pope, Leo XIV, specifically, his status as an American. And please, I beg you, don't be one of the contrarians who have been trying to make “United Statesian” a thing, it's fine to call Leo XIV the First American Pope. Of course you're welcome to use the opportunity to draw attention to the fact that Pope Francis is also from “the Americas”, but “American” is the demonym for a person from the United States and there is nothing wrong with using that word in that sense, so stop trying to make fetch happen. Anyways, Pope Leo was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois. The date is memorable for Catholics as the Triumph of the Cross, one of the more venerable feasts of the Church, commemorating Emperor Constantine's mother Saint Helena's apparently successful expedition to the Holy Land in search of the Cross Christ was crucified on, AKA the True Cross. Of course, many of my listeners are more captivated by the Chicago aspect, so let's hone in on that. First, to get this out of the way, yes, he was raised in Dolton, a community just *outside* Chicago, but contrarians should brace for more disappointment as it remains technically correct to describe Robert Francis Prevost as being “from Chicago”, having been born at Mercy Hospital in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the south side. In a way, it would be somewhat surprising if Pope Leo *weren't* from the midwest, considering 80% of the 10 American Cardinals who participated in the conclave are midwesterners by birth. But also that number should actually closer to 90%, considering that's including the Irish-born Kevin Cardinal Farrell under the American tally, and by that logic the future Leo XIV should probably count as Peruvian. But I'm not gonna begrudge anyone who wants to claim the Pope as one of their own. Even without that wrinkle, I think we can agree Ireland can count as the midwest, especially given the whole Notre Dame thing. If it were tallied as its own nationality, the Midwestern United States would be the second most represented county in the conclave, still actually in the same place that the United States currently occupies: comfortably behind Italy, and a bit ahead of Brazil. Nor of course is Chicago unfamiliar to Cardinals in general, having had their senior cleric sporting a red hat–or getting one at the first opportunity–for over a hundred years running, putting them in extremely rarified air, actually I think they're the only US see that can claim the red hat century club when it's set on hard mode like that, as New York's Cardinal Dolan wasn't elevated at the first opportunity, presumably because Cardinal Egan was still kicking around and Conclave-eligible for a while, and Archbishop Henning of Boston just got passed over last December despite Cardinal O'Malley having freshly aged out. And my midwest Catholic trivia dump can't be complete without noting that spookily, Mar Awa III, the current Catholicos-Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, which shares the spotlight on my upcoming 0.22 supplemental, was also born in Chicago, which may further help the ecumenical relations I discuss in that supplemental episode. Here's hoping! One more topic relating to Pope Leo's roots I want to touch on today: His Louisiana creole and black caribbean heritage. Both of His Holiness' grandparents on his mother's side were described as black or mulatto in census documents of their day, with his mother's father, Joseph Martinez, being listed as born in Santo Domingo, now the capital of the Dominican Republic, though it was then part of Haiti, the only country to have been born as the result of a successful slave rebellion, making black heritage from that region particularly poignant. I'll note that His Holiness' melanin levels are such that he can fairly be described as white passing, and I'd consider it unlikely that the matter was discussed during the recent conclave, though I expect then-Cardinal Prevost was aware of this bit of family history. That said, it's certainly *possible* that it was a surprise even to him. One way or another, the basic fact is that these genealogical records exist. What to make of them, I leave to those more competent than I. I will commit to circling back to the topic in time, though. For now, it's time to thank, like, a lot of podcasters. First and foremost, you probably wouldn't be listening to this if it weren't for Bry and Fry of Pontifacts. Their support has been critical in a number of ways and I could not be more appreciative of the way they've shared their platform with me, and so much more, right down to Bry making sure I checked my email when she saw that NPR had reached out for an interview. I tragically did not have Bry's attentive support on the inbox situation when PBS invited me on solo, so that one will always be a bit of a what-if, a hint of how much harder things are without the active support of so many. So again, thank you all, especially people I'm sure I'm forgetting since I'm extremely forgetful. I think the safest thing to do is to thank the rest of the podcasters who have collaborated with me in order of appearance this year, starting back in February with the Intelligent Speech crew, in particular my fellows on the religion panel discussion, namely Trevor Cully of the History of Persia Podcast as well as the cheekier America's Secret Wars podcast, Aurora of the Swords, Sorcery, and Socialism podcast, and Bailey of Totalus Jeffianus. What a panel we had. And oh, by the way, apparently I've got the green light to share both that and my talk on the Original Grey Eminence, François Leclerc du Tremblay on this feed, so watch out for that in due course. Oh, and uh, shoutout to David Montgomery of The Siecle for his help with French pronunciation this year, not to mention various other assists through the years. All errors are my own, and David is a good guy to know. Thank you to Jerry of The Presidencies podcast for having me on for one of his intro quotes, his process is impeccably professional just as one would expect after having listened to his show, and it was a great honor to take part. Thank you as well to Thomas Rillstone of the History of Aotearoa New Zealand podcast for picking a surprisingly fascinating year to solicit info about, even if your release timing was ultimately made awkward by the death of the Holy Father. Oh, I suppose I can release that for you guys as well, though really, go check out his lovely show. Aotearoa is spelled: A-O-T-E-A-R-O-A Moving on to my guests from the recent sede vacante, the first you all heard was Umberto from the So You Think You Can Rule Persia podcast, who, in addition to offering a fascinating overview of the history of transitions among the Islamic Caliphate also it turns out had the extremely clutch ability to offer live translations of Italian, which put our humble livestream ahead of EWTN, no offense to that major network. The following day this feed was graced by the previously mentioned Aurora, now on as half of Tsar Power, along with Roberto, who is also from The History of Saqartvelo Georgia and Quest For Power. I'll let you sort all that out from the links in the show notes, but it's worth noting that you can expect more collaboration with Roberto on this feed, starting in the not too distant future with a conversation we unwittingly recorded just hours before Pope Francis' passing, talking optimistically about the future prospects of his papacy. Fortunately there's still cause for such optimism: Habemus Papam, after all. Right before the conclave began, I put out a Cardinal Numbers First Judgment segment with John from Prim e Time, though admittedly that episode was originally recorded over a year ago. We did have a fresher appearance from John on the Youtube side of things, as he joined us to meet the new Pope after the white smoke, having cunningly signed up for the correct smokewatch to do so, much like Umberto our live translator. Ethan from Play History on Youtube was also kind enough to join us, helping hold down the fort along with Fry while I juggled toddlers and the white smoke first billowed out. Memorable times, all. A special thank you to all those who shared the episode I had already prepared on Cardinal Prevost with the wider world, leading to thousands of exposures and hundreds of new listeners. Which, welcome if you're one of the new listeners. Thank you for tuning in, and I promise I'll update my Episode 0 soon to help you find your way. Ok, it's time for another bout of new Pope stuff before I fill you all in on what to expect from me moving forward. I think it's appropriate that we take a look at what Pope Leo himself has outlined as important topics and themes here at the start of his papacy. First, peace, which was literally the first word of Leo's papacy. An emphasis on peace is no surprise, for one thing, as the newly-elected Pope Leo himself pointed out, his greeting of peace was in the tradition of the resurrected Christ Himself, and thereby an appropriate greeting for the Easter season, which Pope Francis had opened right before his death and through which Pope Leo will continue to guide the Church until Pentecost on June 8th. The topic of peace is even less surprising in light of the rare public message from the College of Cardinals that was released just before the Conclave, pleading for peace amid escalating war. In light of that, it would have been surprising if he *hadn't* come out advocating for peace. As is, it's definitely a core message, and needless to say a timely one too, with Pope Leo already echoing the late Pope Francis' observation that World War III is already being fought piecemeal. The appeal for peace does seem to be getting a bit of traction, with India and Pakistan agreeing to a ceasefire, and the Trump administration proposing the Vatican as a mediator in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. If you don't look in the box marked Gaza or consider the actual likelihood of a breakthrough in Ukraine, you might be tempted to feel hopeful: admittedly as you can probably tell I'm more on the skeptical end myself, though I'd be happy to be wrong. Another topic Pope Leo emphasized in his first speech–and repeatedly since–is togetherness, which could also be filed under dialog or even unity: the interplay between commonality and difference is critical here, and the most consistent analogy is one very suitable to his role as Pope, that of a bridge-builder, a pontifex in Latin, a traditional title of Popes for centuries, though probably not one that really traces back to the ancient Roman priestly title of Pontifex Maximus directly, as it seems to have been primarily added to the Pope's titles during the renaissance, when the classical world was very fashionable. Now, to really tie the old and the new together, I can tell you that a title once held by Julius Caesar is Pope Leo's handle on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter: @Pontifex. When it comes to the Papacy, concepts like building bridges and promoting togetherness play out on multiple levels. First, as pastor of the giant flock known as Catholicism, we can talk about healing divisions within the church. Then, we can talk about healing divisions among all of Christianity, since the Pope is the head of the largest Christian group–and frankly it's always worth noting that most Christians are Catholics. But really, getting arrogant about it isn't the way to bring people on board, and from what I can tell so far Leo seems to have taken that lesson from Francis to heart–not that humility is a novel lesson in the history of the Papacy that Francis just invented, but still, give the guy his due.. Lastly, though certainly not leastly, what about healing divisions all over the world, not just among all Christians or even among all religions, but among all people? We're talking about the Vicar of Christ here, the idea of “not my circus, not my monkies” does not apply, and the more divisions across humanity are healed, the more likely we are to see enduring peace. So, Pope Leo has his work cut out for him, indeed I daresay we all do, as I am going to charitably assume you all want to make the world a better place. Another priority of the new Pontiff is one that came to light even before his first speech: Vatican-watchers know that modern Popes don't just pick names at random, for example Pope Francis was strongly broadcasting that he was going to do something different by being the first in the modern era to choose a truly new Papal name. As for Pope Leo, my first impression was quickly confirmed, as Pope Leo XIII looms large in modern Catholic history and his encyclical Rerum Novarum was a watershed moment in the development of modern Catholic Social Teaching, which is a foundational enough topic that I capitalized all those words and you will absolutely catch folks calling Catholic Social Teaching “CST” for short. Before Pope Francis, when you were talking about social justice in a Catholic context–which, by the way, is the context where the idea first gained traction, being popularized among the Jesuits in the early 19th century–anyways before Pope Francis, when you were talking about social justice in a Catholic context, you were talking about Pope Leo and Rerum Novarum, published in 1891 as a critique of modern economic systems from Capitalism to Communism and all over, emphasizing the fundamental importance of worker's rights given, well, the fundamental importance of workers themselves, as human beings with divine dignity. The Church has been revisiting Rerum Novarum on a regular basis ever since, and Pope Leo has explicitly centered it for those wondering what to expect from his papacy. To borrow the language of a generation slightly ahead of me, it's based, so get hype. Of course lots of people are wondering what Pope Leo will get up to beyond these key starts of peace, unity, and social justice in the mold of so many of his predecessors. We can be here all day and I still won't be able to comment on every individual topic, nor will h e. We'll see more of Pope Leo in the years to come. Of course we can look to his past comments on anything you like, but the basic reality is Robert Francis Prevost is dead, and Pope Leo XIV is a different man. At least, he may be, anyhow. History has shown election to the Papacy can change folks, but it's also shown that that's not always the case. Sorry to disappoint those looking for surefire answers, we'll find out together in the coming years and quite possibly decades, as, at 69, Pope Leo will likely be with us for a generation. BUT, and this is a big but, I do think from what he's indicated so far and from the apparent expectations of the Cardinals who elected him, not to mention historical patterns, I do think it's very likely that Pope Leo will, on the whole, prove to be something of a centrist. That's not to say that he'll be middle-of-the-road on all issues–I really do expect him to lean into the Leonine legacy of Rerum Novarum-style social and economic justice with a major encyclical on the topic within the next few years–but on average I do not expect him to be as progressive as Pope Francis or as conservative as Pope Benedict. Again, how exactly that all will shake out remains to be seen, and I am very bad at making predictions anyways. After all, when I got asked directly about the possibility of an American Pope, I gave a simple “no” and moved on. In my defense, apparently the future Pope Leo did the same, allegedly telling his brother “they're not going to pick an American Pope” on the eve of the conclave that did just that. Now I want to take a moment to thank some non-podcasters who have been very supportive of my work the last few years, specifically the priests at my home parish of Saint Francis de Sales. Shoutout Fr. Mike, Fr. PC, and Fr. Sizemore, who have all supported me in various ways both in relation to the podcast and off-mic. In particular I want to thank Fr. PC for helping review my upcoming worldbuilding episodes on mass and the Eucharist to make sure I didn't go too far off the rails, and Fr. Sizemore for his consistent support and encouragement of my work, as well as his willingness to promote it. Longtime listeners know that I am willing to set aside the Pope-colored glasses to offer necessary critiques of the Church at times–indeed, necessary critiques are actually themselves part of Pope-colored glasses anyways. It's been very cool to have that support even when offering that criticism at times, and I am, of course, grateful. To give a little more personal insight, I think it's worth noting that I'm bringing Fr Sizemore and Fr PC up in part because they're on my mind and in my prayers a little extra these days since they are going to another parish as part of the normal juggling that occurs with basically any diocese. Back in the day such moves were less common, and could indeed be signs of darker things, but more recent practice has keeping priests from staying at a particular parish for too extended a period as a guard against exactly such dark things as may occur when a pastor is seen as the absolute bedrock of a faith community and is effectively given all sorts of extra deference and leeway and such to an inappropriate degree. In the end, Christ is the foundation, it's not about any particular pastor. Nevertheless, I will miss Fr Sizemore deeply, as excited as I am to see what he does at his new parish, and as excited as I am to meet our new pastor, Father Tom Gardner, and the other priest and a half that are coming to Saint Francis as part of the general shuffle. Interestingly, this will have our household lined up with a relatively young priest, a relatively young bishop, and a relatively young Pope, so these positions are likely going to be set in my life for a while yet. And now that we've talked a bit about the future of my home parish, let's talk about the future of Popeular History. First, as you've already seen if you're caught up on the feed, I have some content from Conclave Time still being edited and prepared for release on this feed. In the last week or so you've seen my chat with Benjamin Jacobs of Wittenberg to Westphalia and Why Tho?, who had me on as his guest of his 100th episode for the former. He's more like me than most, so if you enjoy this, go check him out. And if you don't enjoy this, well, I'm confused as to the sequence of events that has you somehow still listening, but even then, you should *also* still go check him out. Just in case. You never know. Also already released is a chat with Meredith of The Alexander Standard, another Rexypod in the mold of Cardinal Numbers and of course Pontifacts, reviewing, rating, and ranking all the successors of Alexander the Great from Perdiccas to Cleopatra VII. Meredith bravely volunteered to take the first spot on what was a near nightly guest list during the recent sede vacante, and we had a great chat that you should go check out if you haven't already. Still to come most likely this month is a very extended conversation I had with Steve Guerra of the History of the Papacy Podcast, a collaboration that was pretty long overdue. I first reached out to Steve over five years ago when Popeular History was just starting out, but I was too timid to propose a collaboration at the time. I was actually still too timid to suggest such a thing when Pope Francis' fading health got us talking again earlier this year, but fortunately for all of us Steve had no such scruples and when he suggested we get together over a couple of mics, well, so far we've got hours of good stuff that will be ready for your ears very shortly, I just wanted to get all this admin stuff and early Leo discussion out first so I did. But you can expect hours of Steve and I on this feed soon, and if you just can't wait–don't! Bec ause it's already out on his feed at the History of the Papacy Podcast. Part III talking Leo specifically is already in the works, with hopefully more to come from Steve and I collaborating in the years to come. After that, you'll hear a chat I had with Quinn from Nobelesse Oblige, one half of another rexypod that ranks all the nobel laureates from 1901 until he and cohost Maggie run out of people. Their show was on hiatus, but is back now, so rejoice! All the best shows go on hiatus, like, a lot, amirite? Look, subscribe and you'll know when any shows with that particular habit get back. Anyways, that's gonna be another conclave second helping episode. The third on the conclave second helping trilogy, likely appearing early next month at this rate with apologies to my patient guest, will be a great chat I had right before the doors were sealed with none other than Garry Stevens of the History in the Bible podcast, in which I fielded his conclave questions and talked about the recent movie as well. Thank you as always, Garry, especially for your patience as I edited my way through our chat! After that puts a cap on my conclave coverage, it'll be high time to release the previously mentioned chat I had with Roberto of Tsar Power and more, right before Pope Francis passed. And there you go, that's the plan for the next month or so. After all that, it'll be 5th anniversary time, and I think it'll be fun to do a bit of Q&A for that. The anniversary will officially on June 29th, so let's go ahead and say send in almost any question you like to popeularhistory@gmail.com by June 20th and I'll answer it for you on the show. The only limit I'm placing is that the question should be relatively family-friendly so I don't get flagged as explicit content by the powers that be. After that, well, we'll see. Popeular History and Cardinal Numbers will be carrying on, I'm looking forward to finishing my longrunning Catholic worldbuilding series, as well as covering all the living Cardinals I haven't gotten to yet. And those items just represent finishing up the current stages. Plus, tere's gonna be more Pontifacts collaboration, including the much hyped Habemus Pointsam project, ranking all the Papal transitions with Bry! But do keep in mind I had *just* put out a note indicating that I was going to stay on hiatus for a while longer right before all this happened, and the factors that lead me to that are still present. I've got a strong head of steam for when I'm officially back up to full production, but until then, you won't hear from me quite as regularly as I'd like. Actually, let's be honest, you're never going to hear from me as regularly as I'd like unless there's a wealthy patron who wants to hand over a living wage for myself and my family as compensation for me doing this full-time. And nah, I'm not counting on that. I do have a patreon though, so if you want to help offset my costs and fuel Taco Bell expeditions or moving to Rome, you know, little things like that, you can. Mary specifically said I can get Taco Bell every time I get a new patron, so thank you very much in advance. Also, a big thank you to Joe, my current patron, who hosts Prime Factors with his son Abram, and yes that's another Rexypod, in fact, yes, that's another Rexypod ranking the British Prime Ministers! Prime Time is the other one in case you've already forgotten, and now you can easily find both of them on one another's feeds as they recently did a collaborative special you should absolutely check out! I especially owe Joe as I forgot to keep mentioning him when speeding through my recent sede vacante coverage, a situation which will be remedied hopefully in small part by this note, and then eventually with judicious editing. Thanks again for your support, Joe! If you'd like to support my work and are financially able to do so, go to Patreon.com/popeular. I'm going to do as much as I can even without many patrons, but more patron support would go a long way to making things easier, I have to admit. So if you want to join Joe on the wall of ongoing thanks, there are still spots left! And if you can't support financially, no sweat, do what you gotta do, but please consider spreading the word about Popeular History and keeping me and my family in prayer while you're at it. Words of encouragement or any other words you'd like to send can be sent to popeularhistory@gmail.com or you can also find me on social media in a few spots, primarily on Bluesky these days at Popeular as I'm focusing more on direct content creation rather than trying to keep up with socials and the website and such. Oh, speaking of the website, Google Domains went caput so the website's kind of frozen, not that I was updating it much anyways apart from the automatic RSS feeds, which for what it's worth are still chugging along. But the rest you can ignore, in particular the big daily show announcement that's still up there, because that was fun while it lasted but that is definitely on the list of things that are not happening unless I get thousands of patreon dollars a month to make this a full-time job, which, again, I am realistic enough to not expect. It just turns out I can't take that notification down without tanking the whole site at the moment, or without, you know, a fair amount of extra work, and since the RSS feeds are still handy and my time is still fairly crunched, I'm reluctant to do that. So, uh, here we are. Awkward. Ignore the big daily show announcement. Thank you. Now, I'm going to make a couple specific predictions about the future of Leo's papacy that I'd be happy to be wrong about. But before I do *that*, I want to note that after today, apart from the contemporary cardinals episodes, I plan to get back to history, leaving current events to other commentators generally, with the exception of a plan to have some commentary on contemporary news, Catholic and otherwise, available as bonus content for my Patreon subscribers. That would allow my regular listeners to have access to all the historical goodies I find without barrier, while still offering something interesting and informative, you know, hopefully, for my backers. If you hate the idea, let me know, and of course if you love the idea, sure, let me know that too. I'm thinking maybe some kind of monthly roundup, something like that. Anyways, on to those predictions. First, while I genuinely believe we would have seen Sister Rafaella Petrini elevated to the College of Cardinals had Pope Francis lived to create another batch of Cardinals, I do not see that happening under Pope Leo, though he did reconfirm her in her role as President of the Governorate of Vatican City State as part of his general “as you were” instructions right after his election, reconfirming all of Pope Francis' appointments in one of the more unambiguous signs of continuity you can have. It's of course likely that there will be shuffling in time, but I think Petrini is safe in her role, I just don't expect her to be the first Cardinelle at the next opportunity, as Leo appears interested in a degree of centrist rapprochement. Similarly, while I had fairly big hopes for the observances of the 1700th anniversary of Nicea that were due this month, namely a reunified dating of Easter, obviously those observances aren't happening right now. And, while it look like there are now plans for later this year, around the Feast of Saint Andrew–November 30th–I think that moment has passed, and I expect it's not something we'll see in year one of a Papacy. Again, I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't think that's a “coming super soon” type situation at this point. And that's it for today, thanks for sitting through a record-breaking amount of admin. Thanks, Joe!

After defeating the Romans at the Battle of Yarmuk in 636, the first Islamic Caliphate turned its attention to Persia. The fighting there would be even more decisive than against the Romans.

Support us on Patreon --- Liam and Russian Sam continue their exploration of the fall of the Roman world, as described by revolutionary historian Henri Pirenne. Writing between the world wars, the great Belgian scholar used cutting-edge research methods to analyze changes in the economy and society of the 6th century, describing a Roman world in Western Europe that lumbered on without Rome. According to Pirenne, the greatest shock to this unstable system was the rise of the Islamic Caliphate in the early 7th century, which broke off contact between east and west, turned the Mediterranean into a "Muslim lake," and gave the Eastern Roman Empire a challenge far greater than the Goths or Persians of old. Across the next 200 years, the once-Roman world would adapt to this great new change. The ensuing turbulence in the west would lead to the rise of the Carolingian Franks and the new Empire of Charlemagne, which would bring Western Europe out of antiquity and truly into the Middle Ages. This episode of Gladio Free Europe is a roller-coaster across the 7th and 8th centuries, featuring colorful personalities such as the gold-nosed Byzantine Emperor Justinian II and the legendary feuding queens Fredegund and Brunhilda. Come listen to see how arcane questions of the nature of Jesus led to bloodshed across the Mediterranean, and decide for yourself whether or not the fall of Rome happened with the collapse of the Roman empire in 476, or the birth of a new empire on Christmas Day, 800.

Presidential elections in Iran go to a second round, with the only candidate to have criticised the status quo clearly ahead. But after a record low turnout, the authorities denied that there was widespread voter apathy. Also in the programme: ten years after the founding of the Islamic Caliphate, some victims of IS sing their memories; and how TikTok is being used to recruit guerilla fighters in Colombia.(IMAGE: An Iranian woman look at the presidential candidates lists before casting her vote in a polling station during the presidential election, in Tehran, Iran, 28 June 2024 / CREDIT: EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock)

In the 7th century, the world saw the rise of one of the most important religious and political forces in history: Islam. Springing forth from the Arabian Peninsula, within a matter of years, the Islamic Caliphate had become one of the largest empires on Earth. Much of that growth was due to one man. He wasn't a religious leader, and he wasn't the head of the empire. He was one of the greatest military leaders in history.

After the rise of Islam in the 7th century, it spread rapidly, establishing a foothold in Asia, Africa, and in Europe. In Europe, it established a foothold on the Iberian Peninsula. For almost 800 years, the Europeans who lived in Peninsula sought to expel them. It took the better part of a millennium, but they finally achieved their goal.

711 - 1102 - The Christianised Visigothic Kingdom was invaded and conquered by the Islamic Caliphate. The remnants of the Visigoths went north into the mountains and began the process of reconquest (reconquista), to bring the Iberian Peninsula back under Christian rule again.
In the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and in light of the rise of Christian nationalism in our own country, Imam Shaheed, Rabbi Case, and Rev. Skidmore discuss the relationship between religion and nation. From Constantine, to Israel, to the Islamic Caliphate, faith struggles to define the relationship between faith and political power in ways that are faithful and life giving.
Last episode, we talked about the rise of Islam, and how it swept over the Middle East, Central Asia, and across North Africa. And I mentioned that the Islamic Caliphate, which was controlled by the Umayyad dynasty at that time, conquered Spain, and pushed their way up into France. In 732, however, in France, the Caliphate ran into a Frankish king with one of the greatest nicknames of all time: Charles the Hammer.
France 732…The forces of the Islamic Caliphate marches from Spain over the Pyrenees into France in search for a foothold into centeral Europe, treasure and slaves. This Islamic expansion was stopped in its tracks by Charles “The Hammer” Martel.

Why is Putin pushing for Control over Ukraine?, Who is Influencing Putin in his Decisions on Invading Ukraine?, Will Western NATO forces be Able to Deter Putin?, Is Pakistan Threatened by the Taliban's Growing Power in Afghanistan? Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1) Why is Putin pushing for Control over Ukraine? Putin has made claims that Ukraine should not become a NATO member. It threatens Russian security. But he also is trying to annex Crimea fully into Russian territory, and supports 'independent state status' for territory in Eastern Ukraine. Does he have a point that these Russian-speaking areas should be returned to control of Russia or become independent?2) Who is Influencing Putin in his Decisions on Invading Ukraine?: The Western media suggests that Putin is in control over the decision to invade Ukraine. Is that true? Doesn't the Russian military, the intelligence service and other groups have any say? If so, what are they saying? 3) Will Western NATO forces be Able to Deter Putin?: The NATO members seem to have gained strength in facing down this Russian aggression. Has Putin miscalculated in his hopes to fragment Europe from the USA? 4) Is Pakistan Threatened by the Taliban's Growing Power in Afghanistan?: For years, Pakistan supported the Afghan Taliban, and allowed their high command to operate from Quetta, Pakistan. Reportedly the Pakistan intelligence even helped arm and train Taliban fighters. But now the Taliban inside Pakistan is causing trouble and attacking the Pakistan Army. They want nuclear-armed Pakistan to become a true 'Islamic Caliphate'. What is going on?

The Ottoman state was the last Islamic Caliphate, that at its height brought diverse Muslims together under one banner. Yet, for a state that dominated world politics and created a unique order in the world, very little of its details are studied and understood by Muslims. According to Dr Yaqoob Ahmed, my guest this week, this ‘collective amnesia' was deliberately devised as a means to consolidate the modern nation state. I initially asked Dr Ahmed to discuss Ottoman decline, why this vast empire fell in 1924, but as you will hear – his rich understanding of Ottoman history takes the conversation to many fascinating places. Dr Ahmed has become an authority on Ottoman history, and we talk about his research on Ottoman decline, his move from London to Istanbul, his quest to reorient a Muslim thinking of history, the phenomenon that is Ertrugul and how he believes any Caliphate project has to be profoundly wedded to an accurate reading of our history. I found my discussion with him enlightening and in many ways he challenged my previously held assumptions about the Ottomans during the latter period.

New Version: The Incarnational Rights of Men and Women: The Illumination and Flowering of Homo Incarnatus by Peter Falkenberg Brown The twenty-first century has brought humankind to a crossroads. Will all human beings enjoy complete civil and religious freedom based on their inalienable rights, or will global tyranny erode and crush those rights? Strains of tyranny come in many forms, but top contenders for this century include the potential global hegemonies of Communist China, an Islamic Caliphate that extends into Europe and Britain, and Western nations that fall to a rising encroachment of socialism and Marxism. In spite of the hostility and ignorance of totalitarians, I believe that the scales are weighted in favor of freedom and human rights. Illumination and a desire for freedom are percolating across the world, and have been increasing in speed and scope.

Robert Spencer has not only faced death threats for speaking the truth about Islam, people have actually attempted to kill him. In an era of political correctness gone crazy it is downright dangerous to have an honest conversation about Islamic history and the teachings of Muhammad that Muslims honor as their prophet. A willingness to follow truth wherever it leads, even if it is unpopular, is what makes Robert Spencer so special and why Hank has such a deep respect for his work. Their conversation details the role of Islam in the world today through a thorough understanding of Islam throughout world history. Topics discussed include: Robert Spencer once trained US military personnel on the mindset of an Islamic terrorist and why CAIR asked for him to be removed from that position (2:55); divine providence saving both Hank Hanegraaff and Robert Spencer's lives and how facing death changes the way you live your life (5:25); the contributions that Christianity has made to Western Civilization and why an Islamic worldview could never have led to them (11:30); contrasting the history of Jesus Christ and Mohammed (14:00); addressing the state of affairs in Turkey today and the restoration of an Islamic Caliphate (16:45); why the history of jihad is not known or remembered by most Americans (19:20); the phenomena of Islamophobia and the lack of honest discourse on Islam (21:50); why Sharia makes Islam and democracy an impossible combination (27:35); Meccan and Medinan Suras and the contradictions in the Quran (29:45); the growing Muslim majority in the western world as an example of demographic jihad (33:35); Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, anti-Semitism and the growing Islamic influence in the US government (35:30); did Ilhan Omar marry her own brother in a case of immigration fraud? (37:30); the impact of Islam in Michigan and the future of Islam in America (39:30); why does the radical left love Islam and hate Christianity? (41:55); the difference between the just war theory in Christianity and jihad in Islam(46:00); why it is critical to put the history of the Crusades into a proper perspective (47:35); the mass genocide of Christians in the Middle East today and how political correctness is helping it to happen (51:55); Pope Francis, Barack Obama and George W. Bush defending Islam as a religion of peace (54:25); the state of Islamic terrorism today (1:09:15); the Dome of the Rock, the Hagia Sophia and Muslims reappropriation of important religious sites of other religions into mosques (1:13:30); Robert Spencer's return to Eastern Orthodoxy (1:21:40); why Robert Spencer is writing an apologetic for Orthodoxy focused on arguments against papal authority (1:23:15); why Islam is the biggest threat to Western Civilization (1:27:10); is Iran, Saudi Arabia or Turkey the biggest threat to the West in the Islamic world? (1:29:25); Robert Spencer receiving death threats (1:32:35); Robert Spencer's upcoming book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process (1:35:55).Listen to Hank's podcast and follow Hank off the grid where he is joined by some of the brightest minds discussing topics you care about.

Don’t miss this episode where Zuhdi takes on the ideas of the Islamist establishment now trying to legitimize, of all things, the idea of an Islamic Caliphate. Ovamir Anjum, a writer for Texas-based Islamist clearinghouse, the Yaqeen Institute, just published an extensive piece outlining the legitimacy of a Caliphate for Muslims. Dr. Jasser looks at whether this is truly moderate Islam or, more likely, just ”ISIS-lite”. Also, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), stumping for Sen. Bernie Sanders, called for an “end to Western imperialism”. How has ‘full-on Islamist’ rhetoric become commonplace for the far Left in America? Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 198 features an interview with Benjamin Dykes about his new translation of the works of the 9th century astrologer Sahl ibn Bishr from Arabic. Sahl was part of the second generation of astrologers who wrote in Arabic and worked in Baghdad during the early Islamic Caliphate. He seems to have been active around 815–825 […]
Abu 'l-Qasim Junaid ibn Muhammed al-Bagdadhi is one of the first, most famous, early saints of Islam. He was born and raised in the thriving city of Baghdad, Iraq, centre of the Islamic Caliphate at the time. His excellence has been described as being "like the sun at noon time." This lecture provides a brief biography along with some of Imam Junaid's profound words of wisdom.
Episode 37: Looking for Abu'l Abbas In 801 CE, an elephant named Abu’l Abbas landed in Portovenere, Italy from Ifriqiya. According to The Royal Frankish Annals, he was as a gift from Caliph Harun al-Rashid to Charlemagne. Although he appears regularly in any discussion of the period, Abu’l Abbas, like many other animals, remains a cipher. For world history, he tells a story about the circuits of diplomacy and trade that linked the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean or fuels more speculation on the relationship of Holy Roman Christendom to the Islamic Caliphate. For art history, he is translated into the ivories, oliphants and imagery of elephants in the European imagination. Or else, he finds his proper province in children’s fables. In this podcast, Dr. Radhika Subramaniam, Director of The Sheila Johnson Center and Associate Professor of Art History & Design at the New School / Parsons School of Design reconstructs a plausible tale of this Asian elephant’s travels, which would undoubtedly have been in the company of a mahout or handler, who, although unacknowledged and unnamed, probably accompanied him from India. This podcast is adapted from a longer work-in-progress that is part animal biography, part migration story, part tale of human-animal relationships and all quest narrative. It explores the writing of an animal biography as a challenge to both research and narrative as well as a promise for re-articulating an interspecies relationship. This episode, part of the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT) History of the Maghrib / History in the Maghreb lecture series, was recorded at the Library of the Medina of Tunis - Dar Ben Achour - on 12 April 2018. We thank Ahmed Fetoui for his interpretation of "Bellah Ya Ghazali" for the introduction and conclusion of this podcast. Curator: Hayet Lansari, Librarian / Liaison Coordinator (CEMA).
On tonight's show we will talk about how mainstream media is not reporting on the slave trade in Sudan by the Islamic Caliphate. Also we will talk about the flu pandemic in America causing school shutdowns in 11 states and many deaths around the country. We will also talk about one part of bible prophecy often overlooked, the archaelogical discoveries of the palace of King David prophesied in Amos 9 and Acts 15! We will also talk about the National Guard forming a new homeland response force and the coming supermoon. Also as always we will preach about what its takes to be in God's remnant.
Guest: Robert Spencer, Author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam" and Founder of Jihad Watch - Is Islam really a religion of peace? If a Caliphate is the goal, what are the goals of the Islamic Caliphate; how much of it has already been achieved; and why is America a target, really?
Lima Charlie News MENA Report covers Middle East / North Africa developments as reported by Lima Charlie's MENA Bureau.

This week we are bringing you a super light and fun episode about ISIS! No but seriously strap yourselves in because we are slicing through some of the mystery to try to sketch a clear picture of everyone's least favourite Islamic Caliphate. There was so much to talk about that we had to bring in our dear buddies Tom Hill and Devin Mackenzie (A.K.A. Hip.Bang!) to come and keep us sane. Or were they ISIS sleeper agents all along?

Three (3) of these sectors have a highly positive correlation with relation to the President of the United States, Barack Obama. For those of you who are not acquainted with the University of Excellence – UofE – here is the mission statement: The University of Excellence is an online study forum for the end times enabling the serious seeker with advanced instruction, intel, and prophecy for personal growth, cross cultural communications, and international strategies. All sectors of the geopolitical spectrum are analyzed for Boolean logic commonalities in relation to trends and issues. Those with highly positive correlation of linear regression are brought into focus and subject to more critical analysis. The four sectors, which are strictly objective studies, are as follows: Family Fidelity Fallen Spirits False Treaties False Messiah It is the purpose of this teaching to provide you with a skeletal acquaintance of these sectors so that you may know: Where you are at; Where you are going; Know what's happening today; and, Know what's happening in the future. Be like the Bereans and the sons of Issachar: search the scriptures AND have an understanding of the times! ________________________ HOW TO DISCERN THE TIMES WITH ACCURACYTHE FOUR F's OF THE LAST DAYS~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~ FAMILY FIDELITY Lots has been written of the unfaithfulness of men as the head of the family unit; however, not much concerning infidelity as associated with the woman (the wife or mother). There can be several reasons for infidelity on the part of the wife: Way of revenge Boredom and curiosity Proving they are still desirable Chasing a dream of ideal romance Cheating to cause a change or breakup However, the man (the husband or father), as a model of God, is to be not only a strong leader … but also a healer thru: Intimacy Discipline Love Value It takes a STRONG person to override the infidelity of the other mate; however, this can be carried out even by a “weak” person who trusts in the “strength” of God. “Let the weak say 'I am strong.'” (Tanakh: Joel 3:10) CAVEAT: Many times the offended mate “rebounds” and commits the same infidelity as “payback.” The key determinants should be: What is BEST for – The Kingdom of God; The family; and, The future. However, under the emotions of hurt, anger, jealousy and the desire for revenge, the wisdom to do the right thing is not often heeded. I knew a minister with a strong anointing of God who was deceived by evil spirits and committed adultery several times with different women. When he realized by the direction of the Holy Spirit that it was for the good of the children to have TWO parents, he tried to make amends and bring the family back together with healing … but by that time the wife had a boyfriend sleeping with her in the house with the children and a couple of “druggies” living in the garage. The mother, who claimed to be a Christian, refused to forgive and allow the family to be back together, and subsequently filed for divorce. This absolutely threw the children into turmoil. There are two key principles here: 1. It's hard to submit to what you don't RESPECT; and, 2. You can't sacrifice what you have LOST. Had the wife in the true life example above simply obeyed the scriptural admonition for Christians – God's believers – in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (Brit Chadashah) the family unit would have been saved and the children would have SEEN living proof of God's restoration power and love. “Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: a wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.” I don't need to share the statistics with you that today HALF of Christian marriages end in divorce. But let me share something with you that should wake you up! POSTULATE #1: Two (2) of the four (4) sectors of Boolean commonality we are discussing in this teaching are – or will be – directly related in the Last Days (the End Times of Planet Earth) to the first sector discussed here, Family Fidelity. Those two are as follows: Fallen Spirits, and False Messiah. POSTULATE #2: The current President of the USA, Barack Obama, has an “overlay” of a highly positive correlation of linear regression to the following: Disruption of Family Fidelity; and, Patterns of social underpinning attributed to the coming False Messiah (the anti-Christ). ____________________________ EDITOR'S NOTE – Before you judge this strictly objective study or any personal association to me as the writer-reporter, please note TWO things: 1. I am NOT a Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. I have voted for all three of these parties in the past; and 2. I pray for President Obama, his wife Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha every day. How about you? ____________________________ There are patterned socialization characteristics of the above-mentioned two postulates. But for now, let's continue with both analyses and prophecies concerning the “The Four F's of the Last Days.” FAMILY FIDELITY: We have discussed the family fidelity sector in a practical yet spiritual aspect above. But now let me speak prophetically. A great dichotomy of offensives will soon start to happen in the FAMILY structure. At the same time the true family structure of man and woman is being eroded by same sex marriage, there will be a revitalization of holy family structures: a revival … a spiritual bonding … a godly melting together of the REAL family. Many previously divorced couples will re-unite in marriage. Many family and inter-personal relationships will be healed. There will be the ministry of Elijah the prophet that will “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” (Tanakh: Malachi 4:5-6) FALLEN SPIRITS: There will be satanic combinations: “demonic doubles” working increasingly in the end-times. Demonic Double #1 – Islam and politically oriented leftist-socialists. These will work unwittingly with Islam for a while … until which time the Islamic Caliphate starts attacking them, also. Why do leftists work with Islamists? Because they both hate Jews and real Christians, Israel and the USA foundations based upon Judeo-Christian heritage. Demonic Double #2 – Religion and Demons. These will establish strongholds in the European Union and work from within to then attack outwardly against Israel, the Jews and real Christians. Here's a “sleeper” for you to watch: Germany. Just as under Nazi control during World War II, many people did NOT speak up against the political attacks against real Christians and Jews … especially the Jews … this type of attack will increase in Germany. Here is a report from as far back as January, 2012: German anti-Semitism deep rooted in society. You will see that Hungary, Portugal and Poland are also becoming more anti-Semitic. WHY? The same regional strongholds of “religion” and “demons” – when working in combination – become synergistic in their offensives. The same demon spirits that operated in Nazi Germany are still ALIVE today. Demons do NOT die. They are disembodied spirits that seek to inhabit live bodies: human or animal. MY PROPHECY: A dichotomy of spiritual offensives will evolve from Germany. One will be powerful and apostolic prophetic ministries (such as Reinhard Bonnke) who will preach to millions. The other will be end-time works orchestrated for use by anti-Christ to suppress Jews and real Christians in the end-time. Fallen spirits will begin to inter-breed with humans while … at the same time … through use of genome altering implants on “willing” subjects to prepare a “submissive leadership core” for the anti-Christ as he implements his system of political, economic and military control on Planet Earth. These “willing subjects” MAY be from a DOUBLE source: 1. Politically expedient recipients of the “Mark of the Beast: his mark, or his name, or the number of his name.” Those who will take the “mark” so they can buy or sell or carry on commerce; and, those who did not want to be beheaded for not taking the mark. (See Brit Chadashah: Revelation Chapter 13.) 2. Some feel these will be willing subjects of alien abduction who receive genome altering implants. I do NOT believe so (however, it is a possibility). There are other more scripturally based options as to HOW people may receive the genome altering implants or hybridization. Much research is being carried out today in areas of development of a “hybrid” species: i.e., harvesting of human fetuses. Remember, there was gene pool corruption in Noah's day which resulted in God destroying the whole earth by the Great Flood; only 8 righteous souls were left: Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives. The “sons of God” took wives of those whom they chose. (Notice: the “sons of God” never refers to “believers” in the Tanakh, the Old Testament.) 1 Peter 3:19-20, 2 Peter 2:4-5 and Jude 6 refer to the fallen angels who procreated with the daughters of man in the Days of Noah (before the Flood). This resulted in the “Nephilim:” “the fallen ones” … or … “ones who cause others to fall.” We know from scripture that the “fallen angels” who took to themselves the “daughters of men” (associated timewise with the Days of Noah and the Great Flood) have been bound in everlasting chains for their just judgment of everlasting fire. However, the offspring of the “fallen angels” – the Nephilim – were drowned in the Great Flood. That is, their bodies drowned; however, their spirits could be the demons we read about in the Brit Chadashah (the New Testament). Demons never die! The development of a hybrid species in the end times – through which the anti-Christ MAY derive his submissive leadership core – could well be the result of fallen spirit forces (demons) facilitating the same, rather than aliens from another planet. These fallen spirit forces (demons) may be from extra-dimensional time-space: not from other planets, but from a megaverse (outside our traditonal concept of space-time continuum). FALSE TREATIES: These are treaties designed by Satan to prepare the way for the reception of his agent: the false messiah (anti-Christ). These are treaties based upon “wind.” They have NO substance … they are or may be easily broken … and have no practical or pragmatic “teeth.” One typical example is the recent agreement between USA, Russia and Syria (Obama and Putin) concerning the destruction of chemical weapons. Just as a side note, I told Israel in August, 2008, NOT be deceived by (then) current peace talks by Olmert and Assad. At that time Obama and US wanted to force Israel into negotiations with Damascus. I warned Israel NOT to do it. Listen to (or read show notes) of my podcast: "Israel, New Forces in Middle East Parlance." False treaties will increasingly be made between sharply contradicting nations, cultures, philosophies and national interest groups. The major mission of the U of E is to utilize Boolean logic to analyze such happenings in current geopolitical processes. The mainstream populace of the world is uneducated as regards geopolitical processes. By the way, read this 1912 Junior High exam from the state of Kentucky, USA. Is it any wonder the Chinese are overtaking the USA economically? FALSE MESSIAH: I believe the “false messiah” (anti-Christ) is alive today. I also believe he is operating in governmental and political circles today. I believe he does NOT yet know exactly his role as governed by Satan. I believe he has NOT yet been incarnated by Satan. However, I believe he willingly deceives the populace over whom he governs, as well as other nations … and has – even at this time – the goal of “world leader.” This goal will finally morph into the goal of “world domination” as his body becomes overtaken and incarnated by Satan. The “false messiah” will claim to solve the world's problems, to heal the Israeli-Arab land dispute and allow the Jews to built their temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. When the coming world leader – appointed by the New World Order – takes over, he will make a treaty (a covenant) with Israel for seven years. Today, in addition to disease and famine issues, the leaders of the dominant nations are concerned with three (3) primary factors: Attaining peace among nations and ethnic groups;Guaranteeing the flow of oil; and,Stopping terrorism and conflict in the Middle East (especially between Israel and the Palestinians). And the chief bargaining factor will be the city of Jerusalem. Remember, the false messiah (the anti-Christ) will make a seven year treaty with Israel, and in the middle of the seven years he will break the treaty, go into the Jewish Temple (which he will allow to be built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as part of the stipulations of the treaty) and desecrate it by declaring that he is god. This will begin the worst “Holocaust” the Jewish People and Israel have ever experienced. SUMMARY: The four F's to watch for are ... Family Fidelity Fallen Spirts False Treaties False Messiah Now you know HOW to discern the times with accuracy. Tell your friends! Watch and pray … that you may be accounted worthy to stand before the Son of Man (Jesus the Messiah) and to escape the things that are coming upon the earth. Above all, if you do NOT know the Messiah, PRAY and ask Him into your life as your LORD; ask Him to direct you and fill you with His Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

Three (3) of these sectors have a highly positive correlation with relation to the President of the United States, Barack Obama. For those of you who are not acquainted with the University of Excellence – UofE – here is the mission statement: The University of Excellence is an online study forum for the end times enabling the serious seeker with advanced instruction, intel, and prophecy for personal growth, cross cultural communications, and international strategies. All sectors of the geopolitical spectrum are analyzed for Boolean logic commonalities in relation to trends and issues. Those with highly positive correlation of linear regression are brought into focus and subject to more critical analysis. The four sectors, which are strictly objective studies, are as follows: Family Fidelity Fallen Spirits False Treaties False Messiah It is the purpose of this teaching to provide you with a skeletal acquaintance of these sectors so that you may know: Where you are at; Where you are going; Know what's happening today; and, Know what's happening in the future. Be like the Bereans and the sons of Issachar: search the scriptures AND have an understanding of the times! ________________________ 2014 BOOLEAN BLOG ISRAEL AND THE 4 F's OF THE LAST DAYSHOW TO DISCERN THE TIMES WITH ACCURACY FAMILY FIDELITY Lots has been written of the unfaithfulness of men as the head of the family unit; however, not much concerning infidelity as associated with the woman (the wife or mother). There can be several reasons for infidelity on the part of the wife: Way of revenge Boredom and curiosity Proving they are still desirable Chasing a dream of ideal romance Cheating to cause a change or breakup However, the man (the husband or father), as a model of God, is to be not only a strong leader … but also a healer thru: Intimacy Discipline Love Value It takes a STRONG person to override the infidelity of the other mate; however, this can be carried out even by a “weak” person who trusts in the “strength” of God. “Let the weak say 'I am strong.'” (Tanakh: Joel 3:10) CAVEAT: Many times the offended mate “rebounds” and commits the same infidelity as “payback.” The key determinants should be: What is BEST for – The Kingdom of God; The family; and, The future. However, under the emotions of hurt, anger, jealousy and the desire for revenge, the wisdom to do the right thing is not often heeded. I knew a rabbi with a strong anointing of God who was deceived by evil spirits and committed adultery several times with different women. When he realized by the direction of the Holy Spirit that it was for the good of the children to have TWO parents, he tried to make amends and bring the family back together with healing … but by that time the wife had a boyfriend sleeping with her in the house with the children and a couple of “druggies” living in the garage. The mother, who claimed to be a believer, refused to forgive and allow the family to be back together, and subsequently filed for divorce. This absolutely threw the children into turmoil. There are two key principles here: 1. It's hard to submit to what you don't RESPECT; and, 2. You can't sacrifice what you have LOST. Had the wife in the true life example above simply obeyed the scriptural admonition for believers – followers of the Way – the family unit would have been saved and the children would have SEEN living proof of God's restoration power and love. “Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: a wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.” I don't need to share the statistics with you that today HALF of Christian marriages end in divorce. But let me share something with you that should wake you up! POSTULATE #1: Two (2) of the four (4) sectors of Boolean commonality we are discussing in this teaching are – or will be – directly related in the Last Days (the End Times of Planet Earth) to the first sector discussed here, Family Fidelity. Those two are as follows: Fallen Spirits, and False Messiah. POSTULATE #2: The current President of the USA, Barack Obama, has an “overlay” of a highly positive correlation of linear regression to the following: Disruption of Family Fidelity; and, Patterns of social underpinning attributed to the coming False Messiah (the anti-Christ). ____________________________ EDITOR'S NOTE – Before you judge this strictly objective study or any personal association to me as the writer-reporter, please note TWO things: 1. I am NOT a Republican, Democrat or Libertarian. I have voted for all three of these parties in the past; and 2. I pray for President Obama, his wife Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha every day. How about you? ____________________________ There are patterned socialization characteristics of the above-mentioned two postulates. But for now, let's continue with both analyses and prophecies concerning the “Israel and The 4 F's of the Last Days.” FAMILY FIDELITY: We have discussed the family fidelity sector in a practical yet spiritual aspect above. But now let me speak prophetically. A great dichotomy of offensives will soon start to happen in the FAMILY structure. At the same time the true family structure of man and woman is being eroded by same sex marriage, there will be a revitalization of holy family structures: a revival … a spiritual bonding … a godly melting together of the REAL family. Many previously divorced couples will re-unite in marriage. Many family and inter-personal relationships will be healed. There will be the ministry of Eliyahu (Elijah) the prophet that will “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” -- Tanakh: Mál'akhî (Malachi) 4:5-6 FALLEN SPIRITS: There will be satanic combinations: “demonic doubles” working increasingly in the end-times. Demonic Double #1 – Islam and politically oriented leftist-socialists. These will work unwittingly with Islam for a while … until which time the Islamic Caliphate starts attacking them, also. Why do leftists work with Islamists? Because they both hate Jews and real Christians, Israel and the USA foundations based upon Judeo-Christian heritage. Demonic Double #2 – Religion and Demons. These will establish strongholds in the European Union and work from within to then attack outwardly against Israel, the Jews and real Christians. Here's a “sleeper” for you to watch: Germany. Just as under Nazi control during World War II, many people did NOT speak up against the political attacks against real Christians and Jews … especially the Jews … this type of attack will increase in Germany. Here is a report from as far back as January, 2012: German anti-Semitism deep rooted in society. You will see that Hungary, Portugal and Poland are also becoming more anti-Semitic. WHY? The same regional strongholds of “religion” and “demons” – when working in combination – become synergistic in their offensives. The same demon spirits that operated in Nazi Germany are still ALIVE today. Demons do NOT die. They are disembodied spirits that seek to inhabit live bodies: human or animal. MY PROPHECY: A dichotomy of spiritual offensives will evolve from Germany. One will be powerful and apostolic prophetic ministries (such as Reinhard Bonnke) who will preach to millions. The other will be end-time works orchestrated for use by anti-Christ to suppress Jews and real Christians in the end-time. Fallen spirits will begin to inter-breed with humans while … at the same time … through use of genome altering implants on “willing” subjects to prepare a “submissive leadership core” for the anti-Christ as he implements his system of political, economic and military control on Planet Earth. These “willing subjects” MAY be from a DOUBLE source: 1. Politically expedient recipients of the “Mark of the Beast: his mark, or his name, or the number of his name.” Those who will take the “mark” so they can buy or sell or carry on commerce; and, those who did not want to be beheaded for not taking the mark. (See Brit Chadashah: Revelation Chapter 13.) 2. Some feel these will be willing subjects of alien abduction who receive genome altering implants. I do NOT believe so (however, it is a possibility). There are other more scripturally based options as to HOW people may receive the genome altering implants or hybridization. Much research is being carried out today in areas of development of a “hybrid” species: i.e., harvesting of human fetuses. Remember, there was gene pool corruption in Noah's day which resulted in God destroying the whole earth by the Great Flood; only 8 righteous souls were left: Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives. The “sons of God” took wives of those whom they chose. (Notice: the “sons of God” never refers to “believers” in the Tanakh, the Old Testament.) 1 Peter 3:19-20, 2 Peter 2:4-5 and Jude 6 refer to the fallen angels who procreated with the daughters of man in the Days of Noah (before the Flood). This resulted in the “Nephilim:” “the fallen ones” … or … “ones who cause others to fall.” We know from scripture that the “fallen angels” who took to themselves the “daughters of men” (associated timewise with the Days of Noah and the Great Flood) have been bound in everlasting chains for their just judgment of everlasting fire. However, the offspring of the “fallen angels” – the Nephilim – were drowned in the Great Flood. That is, their bodies drowned; however, their spirits could be the demons we read about in the Brit Chadashah (the New Testament). Demons never die! The development of a hybrid species in the end times – through which the anti-Christ MAY derive his submissive leadership core – could well be the result of fallen spirit forces (demons) facilitating the same, rather than aliens from another planet. These fallen spirit forces (demons) may be from extra-dimensional time-space: not from other planets, but from a megaverse (outside our traditonal concept of space-time continuum). FALSE TREATIES: These are treaties designed by Satan to prepare the way for the reception of his agent: the false messiah (anti-Christ). These are treaties based upon “wind.” They have NO substance … they are or may be easily broken … and have no practical or pragmatic “teeth.” One typical example is the recent agreement between USA, Russia and Syria (Obama and Putin) concerning the destruction of chemical weapons. Just as a side note, I told Israel in August, 2008, NOT be deceived by (then) current peace talks by Olmert and Assad. At that time Obama and US wanted to force Israel into negotiations with Damascus. I warned Israel NOT to do it. Listen to (or read show notes) of my podcast: "Israel, New Forces in Middle East Parlance." False treaties will increasingly be made between sharply contradicting nations, cultures, philosophies and national interest groups. The major mission of the U of E is to utilize Boolean logic to analyze such happenings in current geopolitical processes. The mainstream populace of the world is uneducated as regards geopolitical processes. By the way, read this 1912 Junior High exam from the state of Kentucky, USA. Is it any wonder the Chinese are overtaking the USA economically? FALSE MESSIAH: I believe the “false messiah” (anti-Christ) is alive today. I also believe he is operating in governmental and political circles today. I believe he does NOT yet know exactly his role as governed by Satan. I believe he has NOT yet been incarnated by Satan. However, I believe he willingly deceives the populace over whom he governs, as well as other nations … and has – even at this time – the goal of “world leader.” This goal will finally morph into the goal of “world domination” as his body becomes overtaken and incarnated by Satan. The “false messiah” will claim to solve the world's problems, to heal the Israeli-Arab land dispute and allow the Jews to built their temple in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. When the coming world leader – appointed by the New World Governance – takes over, he will make a treaty (a covenant) with Israel for seven years. Today, in addition to disease and famine issues, the leaders of the dominant nations are concerned with three (3) primary factors: Attaining peace among nations and ethnic groups; Guaranteeing the flow of oil; and, Stopping terrorism and conflict in the Middle East (especially between Israel and the Palestinians). And the chief bargaining factor will be the city of Jerusalem. Remember, the false messiah (the anti-Christ) will make a seven year treaty with Israel, and in the middle of the seven years he will break the treaty, go into the Jewish Temple (which he will allow to be built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as part of the stipulations of the treaty) and desecrate it by declaring that he is god. This will begin the worst “Holocaust” the Jewish People and Israel have ever experienced. SUMMARY: The four F's that are important for Israel ... and YOU ... to watch for are: Family Fidelity Fallen Spirts False Treaties False Messiah Now you know HOW to discern the times with accuracy. Tell your friends! Watch and pray … that you may be accounted worthy to stand before the Son of Man (Yeshua HaMashiach) and to escape the things that are coming upon the earth. Above all, if you do NOT know the Messiah, PRAY and ask Him into your life as your LORD; ask Him to direct you and fill you with His Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

In this lecture, Professor Freedman discusses the Abbasid dynasty, which ruled the Islamic Caliphate beginning in 750. The Abbasids moved the capitol of the Caliphate to the newly-built city of Baghdad and created a state characterized by a strong administration and well-organized tax system. The state sponsored a cultural flowering, based in part on the translation of classical Greek and Roman texts. Professor Freedman ends the lecture by focusing on developments in mathematics and astronomy. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: http://oyc.yale.edu
TUES. 01/08 09:00PM CST Interview with Resa Kirkland, otherwise known as the 'WARCHICK', who is the CEO/WRITER at WARCHICK Restoration and has contributed to World Net Daily, David Horowitz, Washington Times. She is a frequent guest on multiple talk-radio shows and is author of the forthcoming "Forgotten Warrior" series. She coined the phrases "Political Castration"--nothing correct about it--and ISLAMMUNISM--the secret combination of Islam/Communism. She sounds the war cry on North Korea and its unholy alliance with terrorism. She has a degree in Education but stands firm against the NEA. WARCHICK has been an online favorite since 2002. Please join us, it should be an interesting evening as we discuss all topics of the day including Benghazi, Islamic Caliphate and this Commander and Chief's total disdain for American ideas.
On June 24th 2012, Muhammad Mosry was elected president of Egypt. Earlier, on May 1st, Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi introduced this Muslim Brotherhood Presidential Candidate to his followers. Before Mosry took the stage, Higazi outlined his polcies, which I translate here (repeat each sentence multiple times): "The dream of the Islamic Caliphate is being realised thanks to Mosry and his Muslim brothers. Our great dream, the United States of Arabia, will be restored, Allah willing. The capital of the united states of the Arabs, will be Jerusalem, Allah willing. Mursi will liberate Gaza tomorrow. Say: Allah Akhbar ! Our capital will not be Mecca or Medina, but Jerusalem. Our cry shall be : Millions of martyrs march towards Jerusalem. Banish the sleep from the eyes of the Jews. Come on, you lovers of martyrdom, you are all Hamas. Forget about the whole world, forget about all the conferences. Brandish your weapons, say your prayers, and pray to the Lord. We say it load and clear: Jerusalem is our goal. We shall pray in Jerusalem, or die as martyrs on its treshold. Millions of martyrs march towards Jerusalem." Draw your own conclusions about the Arab spring. Music is "Fresh Air" by Jan Akkerman, performed in 1972, when the world looked a lot brighter than today.

The economy; 2. The eco-protective planet model with green friendly innovation and regulation; and, 3. Terrorism. Concerning employment, the three (3) major “safe zones” in the Western world will be: 1. Healthcare; 2. Government (including the military and police forces); and, 3. Education. The Boolean-centric model pictured above is purposefully NOT shown as a peripheral symmetry circumscribing “Technology” because … as represented visually … the three driven modules are paradoxically both: 1. Supported AND dependent upon the driving force of technology; and, 2. Organically developed as an outgrowth “child” of Technology. PREDICTION 1 In the USA, the winner of the November 6, 2012, Presidential election will be the one who most effectively convinces the populace that he or she can tackle the three (3) sub-domains above (Economy, Green and Terrorism), while effectively guaranteeing the protection, intellectual privacy, and practice of the Technology sectors of public, political, and professional modules of society. The Achilles Heel – unknown by frontrunners at this time – will prove to be “Cyberspace” and the “promise” by the winning contender to PROTECT and maintain the FREEDOM of use of the Cyberspace – viz-a-viz the Internet - for the following elements of USA society: citizenry, industry, education, healthcare and government; and, to protect these elements from outside, international world powers and institutions: viz., the UN, rogue nations, and intellectual pirates. PREDICTION 2 The contender for the USA Presidency who wins the election will also be the one who most convincingly promises to unwaveringly help and defend Israel. However, there is a CAVEAT: If that person later turns their back on Israel and does NOT keep their promise, the USA will suffer dire judgment. Also, that President will suffer manifest judgment from God. PRESENT TRENDS AND THE TIMES AHEAD In this BOOLEAN Blog, unlike previous ones, we have deleted search and reference to any personalities, nations and governments: political, military or other influential persons or nations. The reason being, we wanted to see what the geo-political and socio-economic landscape of the Planet was manifesting. Also, commodities and production were not reported on as they are sub-sectors of the economy. Following is a structured but brief overview of trend topography leading to the short term future. · Marketing will be more play and game interactive. · Previously more long-term and harder-to-make decisions will be replaced by faster response actions with less commitments. (Renting vs. buying.) · Technology will become an even more integral part of the lives of MOST people. (Eating, prayer, recreation.) · People will begin to segment their lives so that “packets” of non-tech time will be allocated. · Retail (successful retail) will become a “Third Space” … or, “Third Place” experience. Read about Ron Sher’s “Third Places.” Also, read about “The Strength of Weak Ties.” (Click here for flowchart overview.) Note: Home is the first place; work is the second place. · Dichotomous flight. Population flight in the West (western world) will be to opposite ends of the polar range: Flight to urban areas and flight to rural areas. (Hint: Water wins in the long run!) · In the Third World and developing nations, flight is to mega-cities. · Marketing will be directed by companies, products, brands and advertisers to partner in urban renewal and environment. · Technology will also be intertwined as follows: A. The digital world and the real world will meld together. B. Digital systems with intelligence will be part of our the lifestyle in high-tech nations. C. Humans will use tech systems as check and balances for self-control due to increased dependence on technology.; i.e., help with diets, anger, recreation. (CAVEAT: In this sense, technology can become a two-edged sword otherwise called “addiction.”) TRIBULATION Ironic as it may seem, the last sentence above (Technology may become a two-edged sword …”) may be an entrance to a mind-gallery of what actually portends the result of the organic fusion of Technology with Economy, Green and Terrorism. What is even more surprising, and may be even more a portend of the future, is that the purview of the BOOLEAN arteries discussed in this BLOG-study show a highly positive correlation of linear regression with end times prophecy, as described below. ECONOMY A techno-image of the coming World Leader will be created and people will be commanded to worship the image. Those who do NOT worship the image will be killed. A false prophet – the religious head of the world - will be chosen by the New World Leader to direct these activities. Citizens worldwide will be ordered to receive a mark (microchip, laser, implant or ID) on either their right hand or foreheads. No person will be able to BUY or SELL unless they have this Mark of Technology. Great famine, hyperinflation and economic depression will come upon the earth in the coming years and these conditions will prepare the way for a World Leader to be chosen: a (false) messiah who will seemingly have the answer to peace, economic stability, government and a one world religion. GREEN One-fourth (25%) of world population will die from war, famine, disease, and wild animals. One-third of trees and green grass will be burned up on Planet Earth. (This hurts the food supply.) One-third of the sea turns red from a giant burning volcano and one-third of sea animals and one-third of ships are destroyed. (This hurts distribution of products.) One-third of the rivers, streams and springs become poisoned due to a meteorite stirking the earth. (This hurts the drinking water.) One-third of the sun, moon and stars become darkened. (This hurts work and production.) Later … more terrible things happen to the rivers, springs and ocean. TERRORISM Islamic terrorism is one of the KEY elements of concern to people and nations. It will be the catalyst to people wanting … even crying out for … a one world government to help contain it. The Qur’an, the Islamic guide for Muhammed’s followers, calls for Christians and Jews to be murdered. National leaders like Achmadinejad of Iran, believe that in order for the 12th Imam (the so-called Islamic messiah) to appear, world chaos must first be in place. And, sadly enough, that is the goal of Achmadinejad. What is more saddening, is that many young Muslim children are taught the precept of hating Christians and Jews. Some young Muslim children are even being prepared as suicide bombers. An interesting fact is that beheading … decapitation … as was carried out in the death of journalist Daniel Pearl (which was shown on Arabic TV) is a common practice taught by the precepts of Islam’s so-called “holy” book. Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the New Global Governance, an amalgam of 10 region states. New Babylon will arise from this 10 nation compact and become the center of world commerce with the support and authorization of Turkey and the 10 region World Authority. Even more important to realize is that anti-Messiah (the anti-Christ) will probably be of the Islamic Caliphate and will order the execution by cutting off the heads of all who do NOT make a decision to follow Islam. Prophecies in the Book of Daniel, which foretold the sequence of conquering empires from Babylon, to Medo-Persia, to the Greeks, and ultimately to Rome have each followed the Biblical scenario, with each previous kingdom overthrown as prophesied and taken over by the subsequent one. Rome, or the Old Roman Empire, was the 4th kingdom, which was left divided (the 10 toes) ... and to evidently be re-aligned in the last days before Messiah returns. It is interesting to note that the Eastern sector of the Roman Empire lasted another 1,000 years and had its capital in what is now modern Turkey. This geopolitical entity (EU plus Turkey) will be instrumental in the New World Governance in the last days. SIGNS OF THE TIMES CLUES 1. Islam is the religious system that fits the pattern in the Holy Bible for the anti-Christ system. 2. The Mahdi (the 12th Imam) may be the anti-Christ (false Messiah). 3. The Muslim "Jesus" is the same as the False Prophet of the Holy Bible and comes to kill Christians and Jews and ALL who do not submit to Islam. 4. Muslims refer to the Mahdi as Sahib Al-Zaman "The lord of the age." This is exactly what the Holy Bible calls Satan: "The lord of the age." 5. In the Muslim Qur'an, Allah brags by calling himself “Khayrul-Makireen” which literally means “The Greatest of All Deceivers.” (Qur’an 3:54) CONCLUSION Technology will be the “two edged sword” which … while underpinning and guiding us through the challenges of economy, green and terrorism … will provide us with the “mark” of the beast. _______________ 24/7 Prince Handley BLOGS, teachings, and podcasts Click the Dove above _______________ World Services Box A Downey, California 90241 USA University of Excellence www.uofe.org Prince Handley Portal www.princehandley.com Subscribe to The Healing and Miracle Podcast here: SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to The Voice of Israel Podcast here: SUBSCRIBE Healing and Miracle Podcast: www.healing.libsyn.com Voice of Israel Podcast: www.podcastsatellite.libsyn.com Rabbinical Studies: www.realmiracles.com/rabbinical.htm Israel News and Prophecy: www.podcastsatellite.com If you need healing, deliverance, or prayer, email to: princehandley@gmail.com

Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the New World Order [New Global Governance]. New Babylon will arise from this 10 nation compact . You will begin to see the loss of your right to privacy. Israel and the USA will be the key targets of this attack. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting a one world governing body. The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims. Muslim terrorism is now global. In exchange for being allowed to build her Temple, Israel will sign a peace treaty with the New Global Governance Leader: the FALSE-messiah. BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER IDENTITY There are several keys to identifying Babylon, the harlot. That is, there are KEY scriptural descriptions which inform us as to her geopolitical operations and location. The Ruach Elohim revealed these to me years ago. I had never heard anyone teach about them and I had never read anything written by scholars about these keys. Almost every religious book, article, or commentary only described her as a religious system with origin and practices evolving from ancient Babylon. However, notice the following in Revelation Chapters 17 and 18 of the Brit Chadasha (the New Covenant, or New Testament): 1. Babylon is a literal city. (Rev. 17:18 & 18:19) 2. Babylon influences the leaders of the nations. (Rev. 17:2, 18) 3. Babylon is a key distributor of immoral [anti-G-d] deception (Rev. 17:2) Note: the word “fornication" is the Greek “porneuo" which can mean “illicit sexual intercourse or prostitution," and is used both literally (Mark 10:19, 1 Co. 6:18 & 10:8, Rev. 2:14 & 20) and can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual fornication, or idolatry. 4. Babylon is a seaport city or geopolitical coastal area. (Rev. 18:17-19) 5. Babylon is responsible for the murder of G-d’s prophets and all who are slain upon earth. (Rev. 17:6 & 18:24) 6. Babylon is a key distributor of narco-religion: Satanic delusion. (Rev. 18:23) 7. Babylon is THE KEY CENTER of world trade. (Rev. 18:9-19) BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER SUPPORT SYSTEM We read that Babylon, the harlot, rides upon . . . or is supported by . . . a system which has a historical and sequential background. That system is described as a “scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." (Revelation 17:1-3) In Revelation 17:10 we read of seven (7) heads or kings, five (5) of which are already fallen in John’s day when he wrote the Book of Revelation, one which John said “IS" (in his day, the #6), and the other (the seventh) would rule AFTER John lived. Note: Not that the 7th kingdom would start ruling a little while after he died; but that in the future another world force would rule for a little while. Remember our summary above of the historic temporal or civil powers of the world. I told you to: REMEMBER THE SUMMARY OF HISTORIC POWERS AS IT IS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN (7) HEADS OF THE BEAST UPON WHICH THE HARLOT, BABYLON, RIDES! The seven (7) heads are: 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon (the second Babylonian Empire) 4. Medo-Persia 5. Greece 6. Rome 7. Islam divided: Sunni, Shia, ISIS The sixth major empire and the FOURTH in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Rome. This was the head, or king, that Yochanan (John) said “IS" (in his day, the #6) ... which was Rome (the Roman Empire). The term “kings" is used in scripture different times to mean a dynasty or series of kings in a dynasty, such as Jeremiah 25:11-12. Remember, there was en Eastern Division of the Roman Empire (headquartered in the confines of present day Turkey) that existed for another 1,000 years. The beast (the anti-Messiah or false messiah) that was and is not, is himself also an eighth king, and is of the seven; and he goes into perdition. (Revelation 17:10-11) This is a perfect description of the anti-Christ who will come to rule, and then die with a deadly wound to the head, and then seemingly be raised to life again (8th). (Revelation Chapter 13) The anti―or false―messiah, will receive support from the geopolitical "10 Region Islamic Confederacy" confines of any of the following: Turkey, the Mediterranean countries ... including North Africa ... and the Middle East. Remember, there was an Eastern extension of the Old Roman Empire (with its capitol in the area today known as Turkey) which outlasted the Western Roman Empire by 1,000 years (from the 4th Century to 1453 C.E.). Therefore, the False Messiah can emerge from either the Eastern EU, Mediterranean countries or Islamic countries in the Middle East. The false-messiah (leader of the New World Governance) will then select the religious leader of the world – the false prophet – who may be a Muslim Imam and a member of the Islamic Caliphate. NOTE: The anti-Messiah has a "type" of forerunner in Antiochus Epiphanes IV who desecrated the Jewish Temple and the Jewish People. Check out the abomination that makes desolate. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 / Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11 / Matthew 24:15 (Jesus). BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER DESTRUCTION The ten (10) horns of the beast - upon which Babylon the harlot rides - are ten (10) kings [different from the 7 kings in Revelation 17:9-10] which will rule concurrently (at the same time) the FALSE-messiah rules. These ten kings are DIFFERENT from the seven dynasty kingdoms (or, HEADS) on the beast. The ten horns are NOT sequential dynasties but rule at the same time in the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT [the New Global Governance] ... at the same time as the FALSE-messiah. (Revelation 17:12-13) In other words, the SUPPORT SYSTEM for Babylon will be the coming ONE WORLD SYSTEM ruled by the false Messiah ... or, pseudo-Christ ... [the 8th head from the previous 7 heads] who arises as an anti-type of Antiochus Epiphanes IV, desecrator of the Jews and of the Jewish Temple. He may be of Greek Syrian origin. The ten kings receive their authority for a while as kings (regional leaders of nations or ethnic groups) with the beast (the FALSE-messiah). These ten kings are of one mind. They are probably Islamic regional rulers and will give their power and authority to the Beast: the false messiah. In other words, they will yield to him and make a pact acknowledging him as world leader. (Revelation 17:13) These ten Muslim kings will turn and hate Babylon the harlot and destroy her, burning her with fire (probably as a result of nuclear attack). This is another way we know that Babylon is a LITERAL CITY. (Revelation 17:16-17 & 18:8-10) These ten kings will also make war with Messiah Jesus (that's a laugh) And, of course, they will be destroyed. Notice that ALL the nations Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) destroys at His second appearance to earth are Muslim nations. All the prophets agree to this. Realize that G-d has put it in the hearts of the ten regional Islamic leaders to fulfill his purpose: to be of one mind, to give their kingdom to the beast, and to destroy Babylon, the harlot! (Revelation 17:12-18) Be at peace! The false trinity ... Satan, the Beast, and the False Prophet ... will all be tormented forever: and all who follow them and take the mark of the Beast. The Beast (the anti-Christ governmental head of the New Global Governance), his False Prophet (the religious head of the New Global Religion) ... and later ... Satan, himself, (the deceiver) will be cast into the lake that burns with fire: forever and ever, time without end! Hallelujah! SUMMARY If you have studied physics, you know that in our lifetime, earthly gold has a half life that will not wear out. However, on the time scale of God, earthly gold has a half life that wears out. Messiah taught us: “I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness does not appear, and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see." THE HARVEST RAIN HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN IN THE EARTH . . . ONLY THE FORMER RAIN! (See the Tanakh, Joel 2:23) Again, the Father’s time scale is different than ours. It is time to use your faith! The feast of the final harvest is soon! Hard times are coming for the Zion; however, those who know their G-d, and serve Mashiach ben David, will experience supernatural MIRACLES. It is time to reach Muslims and the Islamic world. Muslims, must see MIRACLES! You, who are listening to this podcast and who know HOW to operate in the Gifts of the Spirit should start praying for G-d ordained opportunities to pray for Muslims. Pray for their healing . . . lay hands upon them and loose the healing power of Messiah! Read testimonies of Muslims who received the LORD and were healed here: Muslims healed. Also, you who are listening to this podcast and who know HOW to intercede should start praying for divine visitations to Muslims from the Lord. I know of MANY cases where Muslims have been saved because the Messiah Yeshua appeared to them in a dream, or a vision, or in person, and they were miraculously born again. You, who have the Ruach Elohim, use your FAITH to loose the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the holy angels to Muslim people. The Tanakh does not say that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Islam, or Buddhism, or Hinduism, or New Age philosophy, but ... “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14) “Greater is He (G-d) that is in you than he (the devil) that is in the world."

Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the New World Order [New Global Governance]. New Babylon will arise from this 10 nation compact . You will begin to see the loss of your right to privacy. Israel and the USA will be the key targets of this attack. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting a one world governing body. The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims. Muslim terrorism is now global. In exchange for being allowed to build her Temple, Israel will sign a peace treaty with the New Global Governance Leader: the FALSE-messiah. BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER IDENTITY There are several keys to identifying Babylon, the harlot. That is, there are KEY scriptural descriptions which inform us as to her geopolitical operations and location. The Ruach Elohim revealed these to me years ago. I had never heard anyone teach about them and I had never read anything written by scholars about these keys. Almost every religious book, article, or commentary only described her as a religious system with origin and practices evolving from ancient Babylon. However, notice the following in Revelation Chapters 17 and 18 of the Brit Chadasha (the New Covenant, or New Testament): 1. Babylon is a literal city. (Rev. 17:18 & 18:19) 2. Babylon influences the leaders of the nations. (Rev. 17:2, 18) 3. Babylon is a key distributor of immoral [anti-G-d] deception (Rev. 17:2) Note: the word “fornication" is the Greek “porneuo" which can mean “illicit sexual intercourse or prostitution," and is used both literally (Mark 10:19, 1 Co. 6:18 & 10:8, Rev. 2:14 & 20) and can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual fornication, or idolatry. 4. Babylon is a seaport city or geopolitical coastal area. (Rev. 18:17-19) 5. Babylon is responsible for the murder of G-d’s prophets and all who are slain upon earth. (Rev. 17:6 & 18:24) 6. Babylon is a key distributor of narco-religion: Satanic delusion. (Rev. 18:23) 7. Babylon is THE KEY CENTER of world trade. (Rev. 18:9-19) BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER SUPPORT SYSTEM We read that Babylon, the harlot, rides upon . . . or is supported by . . . a system which has a historical and sequential background. That system is described as a “scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." (Revelation 17:1-3) In Revelation 17:10 we read of seven (7) heads or kings, five (5) of which are already fallen in John’s day when he wrote the Book of Revelation, one which John said “IS" (in his day, the #6), and the other (the seventh) would rule AFTER John lived. Note: Not that the 7th kingdom would start ruling a little while after he died; but that in the future another world force would rule for a little while. Remember our summary above of the historic temporal or civil powers of the world. I told you to: REMEMBER THE SUMMARY OF HISTORIC POWERS AS IT IS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN (7) HEADS OF THE BEAST UPON WHICH THE HARLOT, BABYLON, RIDES! The seven (7) heads are: 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon (the second Babylonian Empire) 4. Medo-Persia 5. Greece 6. Rome 7. Islam divided: Sunni, Shia, ISIS The sixth major empire and the FOURTH in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Rome. This was the head, or king, that Yochanan (John) said “IS" (in his day, the #6) ... which was Rome (the Roman Empire). The term “kings" is used in scripture different times to mean a dynasty or series of kings in a dynasty, such as Jeremiah 25:11-12. Remember, there was en Eastern Division of the Roman Empire (headquartered in the confines of present day Turkey) that existed for another 1,000 years. The beast (the anti-Messiah or false messiah) that was and is not, is himself also an eighth king, and is of the seven; and he goes into perdition. (Revelation 17:10-11) This is a perfect description of the anti-Christ who will come to rule, and then die with a deadly wound to the head, and then seemingly be raised to life again (8th). (Revelation Chapter 13) The anti―or false―messiah, will receive support from the geopolitical "10 Region Islamic Confederacy" confines of any of the following: Turkey, the Mediterranean countries ... including North Africa ... and the Middle East. Remember, there was an Eastern extension of the Old Roman Empire (with its capitol in the area today known as Turkey) which outlasted the Western Roman Empire by 1,000 years (from the 4th Century to 1453 C.E.). Therefore, the False Messiah can emerge from either the Eastern EU, Mediterranean countries or Islamic countries in the Middle East. The false-messiah (leader of the New World Governance) will then select the religious leader of the world – the false prophet – who may be a Muslim Imam and a member of the Islamic Caliphate.

A review of the historic world powers and their treatment of Israel ... and how New Babylon will arise from the new Islamic 10 nation confederacy. PREFACE While conducting teaching seminars, and through feedback from the seminars through the years, I have discovered that real growth of individuals who trust in G-d is directly related to teaching concerning end time prophecy . . . particularly as it relates to the time in which we live: the last days. I have seen young men and women grow into seasoned leaders for the Lord in the last 40 years as they learned about the plan of G-d for Israel and for the last days. Because of this I have been instructed by the Spirit to give a brief overview in the next two podcasts. There will be material in these podcasts ... and in the show notes ... that you will probably NOT find in seminary libraries or in Jewish or Christian bookstores, particularly where it relates to Islam. Because of the urgency of the need for this instruction in the Body of Messiah, I will be releasing these podcasts with show notes in a format which you can use for training others in your synagogues, churches or fellowships. The title of this podcast, Babylon, The Harlot, Exposed - Part 1, is just that: I am going to show you certain details of the harlot Babylon that are NOT covered by usual dispensational or theological exegesis. Babylon, as in the past so in the future, is the enemy of Israel ... and is about to appear on the scene. - Prince Handley BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER ORIGIN A summary of the the historic temporal or civil powers of the world is as follows: I. The first Babylonian Empire was founded by Nimrod. From the people of this empire, come ALL the empires of the world. G-d confounded the language of the people and scattered them abroad to his predetermined boundaries of ethnicity (the nations). (Torah - Genesis 11) II. The people of Israel were set apart by G-d. Bible prophecy deals with the nations as they affect the Israelites (or the nation of Israel) in one way or another. III. The first major empire to persecute Israel was of course Egypt. This empire was NOT included in Daniel’s prophecy. (Daniel Chapter 2) IV. The second major empire to persecute Israel was Assyria. It was by Assyria that the Israelites of the northern Kingdom of Israel were taken into captivity. This empire was NOT included in Daniel’s prophecy. V. The third major empire which persecuted the Israelites was the second Babylonian Empire. It was under this empire that the Israelites in the southern Kingdom of Judah were taken into captivity. This empire was the FIRST in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms. You can read this in the Tanakh, in the Book of Daniel, the Prophet, Chapter Two. It was represented by the head of gold. Note: The reason Daniel started with the second Babylonian Empire was that this was during his lifetime and pertained to the interpretation of dreams and dream-visions that dealt with this empire and subsequent empires up to the end times. VI. The fourth major empire and the SECOND in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Medo-Persia. It was represented by the breast and arms of silver. VII. The fifth major empire and the THIRD in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Greece. It was represented by the belly and thighs of brass. VIII. The sixth major empire and the FOURTH in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was the Roman Empire. It was represented by the legs of iron and ... NEXT ... IX. The feet part of iron and clay in Daniel's vision represent a revived Islamic Caliphate in the latter days ... (of which we have entered). It's interesting to note that the etymological use of "arab" refers to the "mixed people to the East of Israel." Iron and clay do NOT mix. REMEMBER THE ABOVE SUMMARY OF HISTORIC POWERS AS IT IS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN (7) HEADS OF THE BEAST UPON WHICH THE HARLOT, BABYLON, RIDES. Let us compare Daniel's vision in Chapter 7 (and his interpretation Of Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel Chapter 2) with the seven (7) heads upon which the woman - Babylon - sits in Revelation 17: The seven (7) heads are: 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon (the second Babylonian Empire) - 1st Empire Head 4. Medo-Persia - 2nd Empire Head 5. Greece - 3rd Empire Head 6. Rome - 4th Empire Head 7. Islam divided: Sunni, Shia, ISIS - "Mixed iron and clay" in Daniel 2; "Ten horns of Daniel 7); the Ten Regional Islamic Confederacy. Most students of Bible prophecy agree now that in the last days there will be a reconstituted, or revised, Islamic Caliphate. This is mostly because of the dream-visions and interpretations in Daniel Chapters Two and Seven. Many liberal and neo-orthodox theologians attempt to discount the validity of Daniel as a prophet; however, Yeshua gave validation to Daniel’s prophetic office when He, as Israel’s Messiah, taught concerning the last days [Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14]. Mashiach Yeshua (Messiah Jesus also referred to the Prophet Daniel in His teaching, thereby giving validity to Daniel as a prophet.) Many conservative or evangelical scholars surmised in the past that the geo-political area encompassed previously by the Roman Empire rule would be revived and be the arena from which the anti-Christ, or false Messiah, would arise. However, certain situations that are being played out today forge an entirely different set of circumstances while still emanating from the geographic confines of Eastern Europe (Turkey), the Middle East and North Africa. May I suggest to you that the predominant force arising from the area of the eastern extension of the old Roman Empire and the Middle East is none other than Islam, a religion spawned in Hell by Satan: a religion based upon the teachings of a false prophet, Muhammad, and the false god, Allah. NOTE: The majority of soldiers in the Roman Army who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD / CE were from Syria, Egypt and Arabia. They were transcripts. These were "the people of the prince who shall come" described in Daniel 9:26. Therefore, the "prince who shall come" -- the anti-christ -- will be from the Middle East. Right now in Europe there are hundreds of Islamic schools. The geographic confines described composed of parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and part of North Africa (Libya and North Sudan) will be the sling from which the false-messiah ... or, the anti-christ ... will be thrust. He could likely be of Syrian Greek background. The main point to realize, however, is that Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the one world government. Let me explain: 1. Muslim terrorism is now global. 2. Pertaining to people in the USA, you are already beginning to see the loss of your right to privacy. The Department of Homeland Security and The Patriot Act - even though established out of NEED and for the GOOD of the populace - are still instruments that can and may one day be used for invasion of privacy of Christians. 3. Islam is the #1 force in the drive to one world government. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting a one world governing body for protection. People around the world will want peace and safety and will be willing to give up their constitutional rights for it. This will be the caveat for the Jews and Israel when the coming world leader (chosen by the New World Governance) tricks Israel into signing a seven (7) year treaty with the conciliation that Israel can build the Temple. However, it will be with a great price. “For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child." (1 Thessalonians 5:3) Daniel 9:27 and Jeremiah also spoke about this. People will say, “Give me peace . . . leave me and my money alone . . . and let me retire in style." 4. Muslim terrorism is being used in the media to EQUATE to fundamentalism. Just the other day I heard a news commentator say that there are fundamentalists in all religions . . . and used the example of “Christian fundamentalists." The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims, and this especially promotes an anti-Jewish, anti-Christian concept! Christian fundamentalism AND Jewish fundamentalism, especially Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, will not only be the targets of Islam, but of an ever increasing cross section of global society. Born-again (real) Christians will not be persecuted because they are Christians, but because they are considered fundamentalists ... terrorists by society at large; likewise Hasidic and Orthodox Jews. Yeshivahs, seminaries, Christian publishers, church movements are selling out and have embraced themselves in the tentacles of the one world religion. One major evangelical seminary recently accepted government money but had to sign an agreement that they would no longer teach students to convert Muslims. Churches are conducting surveys asking people what they should throw out or add in to get people in the community to come to church. Be careful when the world loves the church! Over twenty years ago Francis Schaeffer said, “Americans, just like Germans in the days before the Nazis, will be influenced to give up their constitutional privileges in exchange for (personal) peace (or, affluence)." What he was saying is that Americans will give up their freedom that was bought with the blood of their forefathers because they don’t want their life styles to be disturbed. They want to be at peace! Dr. Robert Morey believes that this may be the LAST generation of Americans that knows freedom and the first that knows tyranny (via the courts, legislation, and martial forces). He states, “We are living in a watershed moment of history like a Christian ostrich!" And may I say here that Israel needs to wake up and stop giving in to the demands of the Palestinians, the Arabs, the UN, the EU, and the USA. IN THE NEXT EPISODE I WILL REVEAL TO YOU THE IDENTITY OF BABYLON, THE HARLOT ... HER SUPPORT SYSTEM ... AND HOW SHE WILL ULTIMATELY BE DESTROYED BY YAHWEH, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. IN THE MEANTIME, ISRAEL NEEDS TO TAKE A DEFINITIVE STAND TO OPPOSE ANY NATION, GOVERNMENT, OR ENTITY THAT WOULD TRY TO TAKE AWAY HER LAND WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY HERS BY: 1. VICTORY IN WAR; AND 2. BY PROMISE OF G-D.

PREFACE While conducting teaching seminars, and through feedback from the seminars through the years, I have discovered that real growth of individuals who trust in G-d is directly related to teaching concerning end time prophecy . . . particularly as it relates to the time in which we live: the last days. I have seen young men and women grow into seasoned leaders for the Lord in the last 40 years as they learned about the plan of G-d for Israel and for the last days. Because of this I have been instructed by the Spirit to give a brief overview in the next two podcasts. There will be material in these podcasts ... and in the show notes ... that you will probably NOT find in seminary libraries or in Jewish or Christian bookstores, particularly where it relates to Islam. Because of the urgency of the need for this instruction in the Body of Messiah, I will be releasing these podcasts with show notes in a format which you can use for training others in your synagogues, churches or fellowships. The title of this podcast, Babylon, The Harlot, Exposed - Part 1, is just that: I am going to show you certain details of the harlot Babylon that are NOT covered by usual dispensational or theological exegesis. Babylon, as in the past so in the future, is the enemy of Israel ... and is about to appear on the scene. - Prince Handley BABYLON, THE HARLOT: HER ORIGIN A summary of the the historic temporal or civil powers of the world is as follows: I. The first Babylonian Empire was founded by Nimrod. From the people of this empire, come ALL the empires of the world. G-d confounded the language of the people and scattered them abroad to his predetermined boundaries of ethnicity (the nations). (Torah - Genesis 11) II. The people of Israel were set apart by G-d. Bible prophecy deals with the nations as they affect the Israelites (or the nation of Israel) in one way or another. III. The first major empire to persecute Israel was of course Egypt. This empire was NOT included in Daniel’s prophecy. (Daniel Chapter 2) IV. The second major empire to persecute Israel was Assyria. It was by Assyria that the Israelites of the northern Kingdom of Israel were taken into captivity. This empire was NOT included in Daniel’s prophecy. V. The third major empire which persecuted the Israelites was the second Babylonian Empire. It was under this empire that the Israelites in the southern Kingdom of Judah were taken into captivity. This empire was the FIRST in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms. You can read this in the Tanakh, in the Book of Daniel, the Prophet, Chapter Two. It was represented by the head of gold. Note: The reason Daniel started with the second Babylonian Empire was that this was during his lifetime and pertained to the interpretation of dreams and dream-visions that dealt with this empire and subsequent empires up to the end times. VI. The fourth major empire and the SECOND in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Medo-Persia. It was represented by the breast and arms of silver. VII. The fifth major empire and the THIRD in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was Greece. It was represented by the belly and thighs of brass. VIII. The sixth major empire and the FOURTH in Daniel’s series of four kingdoms was the Roman Empire. It was represented by the legs of iron and ... NEXT ... IX. The feet part of iron and clay in Daniel's vision represent a revived Islamic Caliphate in the latter days ... (of which we have entered). It's interesting to note that the etymological use of "arab" refers to the "mixed people to the East of Israel." Iron and clay do NOT mix. REMEMBER THE ABOVE SUMMARY OF HISTORIC POWERS AS IT IS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE SEVEN (7) HEADS OF THE BEAST UPON WHICH THE HARLOT, BABYLON, RIDES. Let us compare Daniel's vision in Chapter 7 (and his interpretation Of Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel Chapter 2) with the seven (7) heads upon which the woman - Babylon - sits in Revelation 17: The seven (7) heads are: 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon (the second Babylonian Empire) - 1st Empire Head 4. Medo-Persia - 2nd Empire Head 5. Greece - 3rd Empire Head 6. Rome - 4th Empire Head 7. Islam divided: Sunni, Shia, ISIS - "Mixed iron and clay" in Daniel 2; "Ten horns of Daniel 7); the Ten Regional Islamic Confederacy. Most students of Bible prophecy agree now that in the last days there will be a reconstituted, or revised, Islamic Caliphate. This is mostly because of the dream-visions and interpretations in Daniel Chapters Two and Seven. Many liberal and neo-orthodox theologians attempt to discount the validity of Daniel as a prophet; however, Yeshua gave validation to Daniel’s prophetic office when He, as Israel’s Messiah, taught concerning the last days [Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14]. Mashiach Yeshua (Messiah Jesus also referred to the Prophet Daniel in His teaching, thereby giving validity to Daniel as a prophet.) Many conservative or evangelical scholars surmised in the past that the geo-political area encompassed previously by the Roman Empire rule would be revived and be the arena from which the anti-Christ, or false Messiah, would arise. However, certain situations that are being played out today forge an entirely different set of circumstances while still emanating from the geographic confines of Eastern Europe (Turkey), the Middle East and North Africa. May I suggest to you that the predominant force arising from the area of the eastern extension of the old Roman Empire and the Middle East is none other than Islam, a religion spawned in Hell by Satan: a religion based upon the teachings of a false prophet, Muhammad, and the false god, Allah. NOTE: The majority of soldiers in the Roman Army who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD / CE were from Syria, Egypt and Arabia. They were transcripts. These were "the people of the prince who shall come" described in Daniel 9:26. Therefore, the "prince who shall come" -- the anti-christ -- will be from the Middle East. Right now in Europe there are hundreds of Islamic schools. The geographic confines described composed of parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and part of North Africa (Libya and North Sudan) will be the sling from which the false-messiah ... or, the anti-christ ... will be thrust. He could likely be of Syrian Greek background. The main point to realize, however, is that Islam will likely be the catalyst which will bring about the one world government. Let me explain: 1. Muslim terrorism is now global. 2. Pertaining to people in the USA, you are already beginning to see the loss of your right to privacy. The Department of Homeland Security and The Patriot Act - even though established out of NEED and for the GOOD of the populace - are still instruments that can and may one day be used for invasion of privacy of Christians. 3. Islam is the #1 force in the drive to one world government. Islamic terrorism will be the active agent to frighten people into wanting a one world governing body for protection. People around the world will want peace and safety and will be willing to give up their constitutional rights for it. This will be the caveat for the Jews and Israel when the coming world leader (chosen by the New World Governance) tricks Israel into signing a seven (7) year treaty with the conciliation that Israel can build the Temple. However, it will be with a great price. “For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child." (1 Thessalonians 5:3) Daniel 9:27 and Jeremiah also spoke about this. People will say, “Give me peace . . . leave me and my money alone . . . and let me retire in style." 4. Muslim terrorism is being used in the media to EQUATE to fundamentalism. Just the other day I heard a news commentator say that there are fundamentalists in all religions . . . and used the example of “Christian fundamentalists." The Koran instructs Muslims to kill non-Muslims, and this especially promotes an anti-Jewish, anti-Christian concept! Christian fundamentalism AND Jewish fundamentalism, especially Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, will not only be the targets of Islam, but of an ever increasing cross section of global society. Born-again (real) Christians will not be persecuted because they are Christians, but because they are considered fundamentalists ... terrorists by society at large; likewise Hasidic and Orthodox Jews. Yeshivahs, seminaries, Christian publishers, church movements are selling out and have embraced themselves in the tentacles of the one world religion. One major evangelical seminary recently accepted government money but had to sign an agreement that they would no longer teach students to convert Muslims. Churches are conducting surveys asking people what they should throw out or add in to get people in the community to come to church. Be careful when the world loves the church! Over twenty years ago Francis Schaeffer said, “Americans, just like Germans in the days before the Nazis, will be influenced to give up their constitutional privileges in exchange for (personal) peace (or, affluence)." What he was saying is that Americans will give up their freedom that was bought with the blood of their forefathers because they don’t want their life styles to be disturbed. They want to be at peace! Dr. Robert Morey believes that this may be the LAST generation of Americans that knows freedom and the first that knows tyranny (via the courts, legislation, and martial forces). He states, “We are living in a watershed moment of history like a Christian ostrich!" And may I say here that Israel needs to wake up and stop giving in to the demands of the Palestinians, the Arabs, the UN, the EU, and the USA. IN THE NEXT EPISODE I WILL REVEAL TO YOU THE IDENTITY OF BABYLON, THE HARLOT ... HER SUPPORT SYSTEM ... AND HOW SHE WILL ULTIMATELY BE DESTROYED BY YAHWEH, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. IN THE MEANTIME, ISRAEL NEEDS TO TAKE A DEFINITIVE STAND TO OPPOSE ANY NATION, GOVERNMENT, OR ENTITY THAT WOULD TRY TO TAKE AWAY HER LAND WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY HERS BY: 1. VICTORY IN WAR; AND 2. BY PROMISE OF G-D.

REASON: In Yochanan's day (when he received the Revelation from Mashiach Yeshua) he wrote "what he SAW." NOTICE ALSO: He could have seen Arabic (the 666) written from "right to left" instead of Greek. Also, the Greek word for "number" is "arithmos" and could mean "multitude." Therefore, if he SAW Arabic (instead of Greek "666") the whole meaning of the passage in Revelation 13:18 would change to: " ... the multitude in the name of allah." WHY? Because the Arabic could be "X" showing two crossed swords. Islamic warriors wear the armband of "allah" on their forehead and on their right arm when they go to war "in the name of allah." QUESTION: Did the Ruach Elohim (the Spirit of God) show ahead of time the growth and evil world goals of Islam 500 years before it originated through satanic inspiration of Muhammad?

Let's get ready to rumble!Well--It's not exactly a rumble we're in for in this episode, so much as a tumble into the rabbit hole of theological wrangling that took place after the Council of Chalcedon that led to the 2nd & 3rd Councils at Constantinople in 553 & 680.And it all comes back to the debate fired up between Cyril & Nestorius over how to understand the natures and person of Christ.“Wait!” you say. “Didn't the last Council at Chalcedon clear all that up?”We thought so. But large groups weren't happy with the conclusions of Chalcedon. They said the wording of the Creed was too Nestorian. They claimed Cyril's formulations that had been accepted at the Council of Ephesus didn't figure strongly enough in the work done at Chalcedon and wanted the orthodox statement on the nature of Jesus amended along more Cyrillian lines.It must also be said that by the beginning of the 6th C, the Nestorian Church of the East & centered in Persia, had by this time gone well beyond the actual position of Nestorius into the idea that Jesus was indeed, not just of two natures, but He was two persons; one divine, the other human. We'll not broach the intricacies of that theology since it takes us on a tangent, and with my ineptitude, would only confuse us all anyway. The upshot is, the Orthodox Churches of East & West had already drawn a line over which they'd set the Nestorian Church of the East as heretics. It's no wonder then that the Nestorians rejected both the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon.But it wasn't just the Nestorians who rejected Chalcedon. A growing number of groups along the Mediterranean coast in Syria, Egypt, Palestine, then inland in Armenia also rejected Chalcedon. These groups were uniformly Monophysites, that is, they believed Jesus possessed single nature, as opposed to the dual-nature proscribed at Chalcedon. But there were different groups of monophysites. That is, they arrived at their monophysitism via different routes.Those following Cyril said that Jesus did indeed have two natures as God & Man, but that His deity utterly overwhelmed His humanity. Another group followed the ideas of the now officially declared heretic Eutyches and said Jesus did indeed TECHNICALLY have two natures, but that they'd fused together into a new, third nature that was a perfect union of human and divine. They preferred to refer to this not as mono-physitism, but as mia-physitism.So, the Church was thus split in 3 segments; the Nestorians in the East, outside the Empire, and the Chalcedonians & Non-Chalcedonian Monophysite sharing the Empire. The Second Council at Constantinople was an attempt to reconcile the Chalcedonians and the Monophysites by once more condemning Nestorius and putting the language of Chalcedon in more palatable terms for the Monophysites.Before we get to the Council, we need to talk a bit about some writings that had been making the rounds called the Three Chapters. In 551, 2 years before he called the Second Council of Constantinople, the Emperor Justinian issued an edict condemning a collection of writings from 3 sources which collectively supported what Nestorius had really taught about the nature of Christ, rather than the misrepresentation of his critics, as well as a thorough examination of Cyril's Christology, revealing its tendency toward monophysitism. The Three Chapters was keeping the whole Christological controversy alive and calling into question the validity of both the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, so Justinian decided to shut it down by passing an edict condemning the Three Chapters.But you know what happens when the man at the tope tells people not to read or heed something, right? Yep – it only makes more people curious. And the more that read The Three Chapters, the more were worried the Councils may have erred.So Justinian called a new ecumenical council for May of 553, hoping to reconcile the recalcitrant Monophysites with the Chalcedonians by making clear his dismissal of Nestorianism.The Council was presided over by the Patriarch of Constantinople, one Eutychius. Pope Vigilius was invited and as circumstance would have it, he was in the City at the time, due to having fled there for refuge from the rampage Ostrogoths in his native Italy. But Vigilius declined and issued a statement forbidding the Council proceeding without his authorization. The other bishops ignored him and went ahead. They condemned the Three Chapters, and in the 7th session, had Pope Vigilius' name stricken from the diptych, that is, the official list of names with whom the bishops recognized as in fellowship with them. BY this action, they excommunicated the Pope for his refusal to appear at the Council. Vigilius was then imprisoned in the Capital by Justinian, his advisors exiled. 6 Months later, Vigilius agreed to condemn the Three Chapters, claiming he'd been misled by those now exiled advisors. He then approved the Council's work.The Council had hammered out a compromise they thought would uphold Chalcedon while ameliorating Monophysite concerns Cyril's theology had been discarded. The Council showed great deference to Cyril's ideas and cited his arguments as definitive in their Christological concerns. In several places they deliberately mention Christ as a single person, condemning those who want to cast Christ's two natures in two persons, an obvious jab at the Nestorian Church.The Council's stated regard for Cyril's theology moves some historians to believe this Council was really a counter by Monophysites meaning to undo Chalcedon. That's probably not warranted since the creed this Council produced reinforced Chalcedon's ideas. None of its adopted Cyrillianisms interfere with the language of Chalcedon.And if this Council was an attempt at reconciliation, it failed. Monophysites rejected BOTH Chalcedon and this Second Counsel of Constantinople. To this day, the Syriac, Armenian, and Coptic Orthodox churches continue that tradition. The theological rift morphed into a political breach when these regions refused to honor the rule from the Eastern Capital. They were then subsumed under the Islamic Caliphate a century later.When news of the Council's treatment of the Pope, and its refined Creed reached the Western Churches, many dioceses rejected it and only came to a begrudged acceptance after a century or two.All that brings us to the 6th Ecumenical Council, which was also held in Constantinople a hundred and thirty yrs later.Because the Chalcedonians—Monophysites rift wasn't sealed, a new idea about the nature of Christ was proposed. This time it dealt with Jesus' will, or wills. The questions asked was, “If Jesus is One Person with two separate & distinct natures, as Chalcedon said and the last Council affirmed, then how many wills does He have; one or two?” One group came out with a resounding insistence Jesus had a single will. This was called Monothelitism.Monothelitism came from the Monophysite camp, saying it was only Christ's divine will that was active in the Incarnation. He still had a human will, but it was dormant, inactive; in a kind of spiritual hibernation. Adherents to this doctrine hoped it would prove an end to the long running controversy over the natures of Jesus. Christ retained two natures and two wills, but the human was subordinated to His divine. For Monotheliticists, there was no question about how Christ experienced his life in the Incarnation as a person. This doctrine was promoted by Sergius and a group of dedicated theologians. It had the enthusiastic backing of Emperor Heraclius, who hoped it was a way to mend the breach between Chalcedonians and Monophysites.This issue of how many wills Jesus had may be one of the most obscure debates in Church history. As we've seen in previous episodes, early church fathers were concerned that if Christ was not completely human, humanity couldn't be completely redeemed. Monothelitists said Christ was completely human, but that his divine will had taken over such human tasks as eating, drinking, and other activities that engaged the physical realm.Set over against the Monothelitists were the, ready for another tongue-twister? The Dyothelites, who said Jesus had two co-equal wills, one human the other divine. They aregued that it's pointless to say Jesus was fully human, but then to gut Him of one of the priome characteristics that makes a human, human, and not a mere animal – the will, the power to make real moral choices. The dyothelites were led by a theologian named Maximus. He said the divine and human wills of Jesus worked in concert; the human submitted to the divine, but not at all subsumed in some kind of dormant state. It was every bit as active as the divine will, but was in total submission to it, as the faithful & obedient believer ought to submit to the will of God.Maximus was concerned to address an issue the Monothelites had raised; that two wills would mean an internal conflict in Jesus that would be difficult to resolve. Maximus said there was no reason to assume Jesus' human will would be at odds with the divine, since He was without sin. Indeed, the Gospels repeatedly convey the idea of the human will of Jesus submitting to the divine. All this means that Jesus embraced the fullness of our humanity. He held nothing at bay in His experience of being human and taking our place. So when He died, it accomplished our complete salvation.20 years after Maximus was martyred by a pro-monothelite Emperor, the 3rd Council of Constantinople adopted his position and the cooperation of the Jesus' dual wills like this. The Creed says, “His human will was lifted up by the omnipotency of his divinity, and his divine will was revealed to men through his humanity.”One writer describes the important difference between the one and two will positions like this . . .Pyrrhus was a monothelite. Maximus, as we've seen was the leading dyothelite.Regarding Christ's suffering in Gethsemane, Pyrrhus said Jesus' asking the Father to take the cup from Him was really just giving expression that what a human nature that loves life and does not want to die would say. But Christ wasn't really asking the Father to spare him the cross, since that would mean He was willing something the Father didn't. Instead, he simply empathized with how one of us would feel in that situation.Maximus argued Christ genuinely wrestled with the question of dying, but redeemed our disobedience in Eden by making his human will obedient to the point of death.Pyrrhus's position may appear to resolve some difficulties with reconciling Christ's divinity & humanity, but only by making, the Incarnation a kind of sham, where The Eternal Son takes on an only pseudo-human experience, like He's acting out a part, rather than becoming it.We have one Council left to cover. The Seventh and final Ecumenical Council takes us back to where it started, Nicaea, but 450 years after the first.
