When we think about the way that Southeast Asian rulers governed their kingdoms, we usually think of the relationship between the rulers and the people. But as Katheryn Dyt shows in her new book, The Nature of Kingship: The Weather-World in Nineteenth-Century Vietnam (University of Hawaii Press, 2025), royal governance in the Kingdom of Vietnam depended on a highly detailed knowledge of the weather and the natural environment. Kings took a deep, personal interest in the weather, even writing poetry in an attempt to influence it. The Vietnamese royal bureaucracy had a ‘Bureau for the Observation of the Sky' to advise the king on portentous signs and omens which might help him interpret the will of Heaven. This premodern understanding of the natural world was influenced both by classical Chinese learning, as well as by an empirical understanding of Vietnam's distinct climate and landscape. This highly original book connects Vietnam's precolonial political history with an understanding of the natural environment seen through the eyes of Vietnamese kings and royal officials.Kathryn Dyt is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the History department at SOAS, University of London.

What does it mean that humanity was made to "have dominion"? In this fourth episode of our Imago Dei series, Greg and Nathan unpack the kingly calling at the heart of being made in God's image. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture paints a royal picture of humanity—not as tyrants or owners, but as vice-regents under the true King. We'll explore how the Bible uses royal language to describe human purpose, how sin has distorted our rule, and how Jesus—our Servant King—restores and redefines our authority through grace. From stewarding the earth to resisting evil and creating beauty, this episode is a deep dive into what it looks like to reign in life the way God intended. Whether you feel powerless or prideful, this episode will remind you: you were made to rule—but only under the rule of Christ. You were made for more than survival—you were made for responsible rulership. Through Christ, we don't grasp at power; we receive grace to serve. Kingship, in God's Kingdom, always looks like love with authority and order shaped by mercy.

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East explore the theological significance of the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament, discussing their roles as divine dwellings, their relationship to Israel's kingship, and their implications for understanding God's presence among His people. The conversation also looks into the destruction and rebuilding of the temple, the church as the new temple, and the counter-temple polemic in the New Testament, ultimately reflecting on how these themes shape our understanding of God's dwelling with humanity.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 56 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (9/10/25), in our first Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the 2025-2026 season, we began Tehilim 95, a.k.a. the first perek in Kabbalas Shabbos. I didn't choose it because of Kabbalas Shabbos (though it's always nice to learn perakim we're already somewhat familiar with), but because I noticed during Kabbalas Shabbos last week how many of the perakim deal with Malchus Hashem (God's Kingship). Since Rosh ha'Shanah is around the corner, I figured this might be a good perek to learn. As usual, our first session was devoted to translating the perek, identifying the "pivot point," then raising all the questions we saw. Next week (בג"ה) we'll attempt to develop a theory before delving into the meforshim.-----מקורות:תהלים צהשמות טו:כב-כז; יז:א-ז-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

El Gran Museo Egipcio en el Cairo es una obra monumental, abierta al público desde octubre del 2024, aunque su inauguración oficial está prevista para el primero de noviembre de este año. RFI pudo visitar este recinto de proporciones faraónicas. Reportaje. Por Ivonne Sánchez El Gran Museo de Egipto o GEM por sus siglas en inglés, tiene todos los superlativos. Por su ubicación, por su arquitectura y por sus colecciones. Un proyecto iniciado hace más de 20 años y que ahora se concretiza a dos kilométros de las célebres pirámides de Giza. La larga fachada del imponente edificio, con muros traslúcidos en alabastro, hace eco a las pirámides de Giza, e incluso los muros norte y sur del edificio están alineados con dos ellas, la de Keops y la de Micerino. Un proyecto arquitectónico de la irlandesa Róisín Heneghan, cofundadora del despacho Heneghan Peng Architects. Al entrar al museo, nos da la bienvenida un imponente Ramsés II, un coloso de 11 metros de altura, tallado hace más de tres mil años, durante el Imperio Nuevo de Egipto. Esta estatua, que muchos años estuvo en el exterior, frente a la estación de tren del Cairo, es ahora nuestro anfitrión. Jensena Fernández trabaja para la promoción de Egipto (Egyptian Tourism Authority). Ella es nuestra guía para este museo. Escuche aquí el reportaje completo radiofónico: El director del Gran Museo de Egipto, Ahmed Ghoneim explica la particularidad de este lugar: "Este museo es el museo más grande en el mundo consagrado a una sola civilizacion, en este caso, al Antiguo Egipto...es un museo que incorpora los últimos avances científicos, con tecnología de punta para la restauración de objetos. Y tambien un museo actualizado también en su museografía, en la manera de presentar las obras. Estamos muy contentos que Egipto pueda ofrecer esto al mundo." El museo, que visto desde arriba tiene forma de un polígono alargado, está pensado como una deambulación por esta antigua civilización. Ya que atravesamos el Gran Hall de la entrada, al fondo comienza la "Gran Escalera", una escalinata muy ancha, con estatuas, sarcófagos y otros artefactos, 59 piezas de gran tamaño para ser precisos. Una escalera que es como un viaje por 7 mil años de historia. Una cabeza gigantesca con un mentón prominente nos impresiona. Es Akhenatón: El visitante va subiendo entonces por esta gran escalera, seis niveles en total, remontando por las diferentes dinastías de reyes egipcios. Pero la gran sorpresa viene al llegar al último nivel de este ascenso. Un ventanal inmenso permite percibir a lo lejos las pirámides de Giza, Keops, Kefrén y Micerinos. Este es uno de los grandes logros a nivel arquitectónico. 12 galerías Al llegar a esta parte se inicia otro recorrido, por 12 galerías, organizadas cronológicamente y por 3 temáticas: sociedad, realeza y creencias (Society, Kingship, Beliefs). El Gran Museo de Egipto está en un terreno de casi 50 hectáreas, aunque la mitad son jardines y exteriores. Su construcción costó más de mil millones de dólares y fue concebido para albergar más de 100 mil piezas. Cuenta también con laboratorios de conservación y restauración especializados. Entre los objetos en restauración, la célebre barca solar de Kheops; un bote de 4 mil 500 años de antigüedad, enterrado cerca de la tumba del faraón Jufu (Kheops), y que pronto podrá ser exhibido. Además de sus 19 laboratorios de conservación in situ, el Gran Museo Egipcio tiene un centro de convenciones, un museo para niños, tiendas y restaurantes y no duda en utilizar las nuevas tecnologías para imaginarnos cómo era el Antiguo Egipto. Por ejemplo, en una sala, se recrea la cámara funeraria de un alto funcionario, Jnumhotep II, (Khnumhotep) con escenas pintadas que representaban el mundo a su alrededor: desde la agricultura en el valle del Nilo, hasta la pesca en zonas inundadas y la caza; y gracias a un dispositivo tecnológico, las pinturas murales de la tumba toman vida. En otra sala nos encontramos con la estatua de un faraón que en realidad es una mujer, Hatshepsut: Pero de todas las salas, el plato fuerte es sin duda la consagrada al tesoro de Tutankhamon, que reúne alrededor de cinco mil piezas y que estará disponible para su inauguración oficial, el primero de noviembre del 2025. Para Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, crítica e historiadora de arte francesa, quien visita el museo por primera vez, lo grandioso no quita el aspecto más intimista: "Estoy particularmente encantada con este museo, porque, es cierto, hay un lado espectacular, colosal.....pero también hay momentos más íntimos, como la sala consagrada a las momias, donde podemos deambular a través de individuos que fueron embalsamadas para la eternidad.....y así, nos encontramos cara a cara con esos individuos, ante sus creencias, a su relación con la muerte.... "También hay vitrinas muy bellas como una de amuletos, o ésta con máscaras funerarias....hay realmente en este museo un "tempo"; tenemos ambientes, secuencias muy logradas, con relación al mundo antiguo de la caza, de la alimentación, el mundo de los cosméticos, de los ajuares, el mundo de las mujeres; es una dosis muy equilibrada y muy bien lograda. " El Gran Museo Egipcio, una vitrina de una civilización antigua, espera albergar cada año a cinco millones de visitantes. Entrevistados: Jensena Fernández (Egyptian Tourism Authority), Ahmed Ghoneim (Director GME), Mirol (conservadora GME) y Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, crítica e historiadora de arte francesa.
Worship Leader Taylor Cummings urges us to call on the powerful name of Jesus, reminding us from Philippians 2:8-11 and Proverbs 18:10 that His name is our strength and safety. When we don't know what to do, we turn to Him in faith under His kingship.

In this episode of Ryan & Brian's Bible Bistro, Brian flies solo (no co-host required!) and sits down with Dr. Matthew Bates, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary and award-winning author of Why the Gospel?, Gospel Allegiance, and Beyond the Salvation Wars.Together, they explore:What it really means to say “Jesus is the Christ” — and why it's a royal proclamation, not just a religious label.How the Greek word pistis reshapes our understanding of “faith” as allegiance, loyalty, and faithfulness to King Jesus.Why salvation and discipleship can't be separated — and how this changes the way we practice our faith.The difference between the gospel itself and the benefits of the gospel.How the incarnation, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement of Jesus each form essential parts of the good news.Insights from Bates's latest work, Beyond the Salvation Wars, and the push for a unity-centered, truth-rooted vision of the church.You'll also hear stories of how Bates's academic journey (from Notre Dame to teaching at a Catholic university, and now Northern Seminary) shaped his theology, plus a look ahead at his upcoming book, Christ Formed.

Preparing His Bride | Aug 16, 2025 You cannot successfully live God's life without first understanding that you must function as both a son and a priest. This is not optional—it is the fundamental requirement for accessing divine life. Any attempt to live spiritually without establishing this dual identity will ultimately prove disastrous, regardless of how sincere your efforts may appear. Your journey toward the Father is not merely about showing up in His presence, but about genuine transformation—a process of becoming and manifesting His nature. This requires understanding that you are engaged in spiritual warfare between two kingdoms, each offering you their own form of intoxication. When scripture speaks of the "virtuous woman" whose price is far above rubies, it is describing your purified soul—that part of you which has been made worthy through the blood of Christ. This is the bride that Christ is preparing for Himself. Conversely, the "strange woman" represents this present age, the Babylonian system that constantly seeks to seduce you away from spiritual life through worldly attractions and temporal pleasures. You must recognize that your soul is constantly engaged in spiritual trading. Every decision you make, every desire you entertain, every priority you establish constitutes a transaction with either the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness. The strange woman—this world system—offers immediate gratification but ultimately leads to spiritual death. Those who give themselves to her ways lose their ability to lay hold on eternal life. Scripture warns you not to give your strength to women—meaning you must not invest your spiritual energy, time, and focus in the things of this age. As one called to be a king and priest, you cannot afford to be intoxicated by the wine of this world. There are two forms of wine available to you: the intoxicating spirit of this present age that makes you forget God's law, and the wine of the Holy Spirit that fills you with divine life and power. You cannot serve two masters. One hand cannot be extended toward God while the other grasps after mammon. This requires the painful but necessary process of cutting off whatever causes you to sin—not literally, but through the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The solution to spiritual bondage is not physical castration but spiritual consecration through the power of God's Word. Understanding the principle of "laying hold" is crucial for your spiritual development. Just as a device must establish proper credentials to connect to a network, your soul must maintain clean hands and a pure heart to access divine fellowship. When you compromise with this world system, you lose your ability to maintain strong spiritual connection. The encounter may begin, but worldliness creates interference that weakens your grip on eternal realities. Those who seek the face of the Lord engage in a process of spiritual DNA exchange—a deep transformation that occurs through intimate fellowship with Him. This is why maintaining purity is essential; you cannot kiss the face of the world and expect to maintain pure communion with God. Your identity as a king and priest demands higher standards than ordinary religious living. God has prepared strong drink for you—the wine of the Holy Spirit that enables you to forget your former poverty and remember your misery no more. This divine intoxication empowers you to function in your royal and priestly calling. The pathway to this abundant life requires genuine repentance that produces corresponding fruit. You cannot simply acknowledge truth intellectually; you must demonstrate your faith through concrete actions that prove your heart has genuinely changed. When you truly repent and consecrate yourself to higher standards, you discover that the life God offers is far more satisfying than anything this world can provide. Set new standards of consecration for yourself. Make specific commitments regarding prayer, worship, and spiritual discipline. Find others who can hold you accountable for these commitments. Remember that faith without corresponding works is dead—your spiritual decisions must be accompanied by practical steps that demonstrate your commitment to divine life over worldly pleasure. The goal is not merely to avoid hell or secure your eternal destiny, but to lay hold on the abundant life that belongs to you as a child of God. This life is available now, but it requires you to choose consistently between the wine of this age and the wine of the kingdom. Make your choice deliberately, decisively, and with full understanding of what each path offers.

A Queen who dared to rule as King, Hatshepsut rose from Royal Consort to become one of Egypt's most successful and innovative Pharaohs.Ruling Egypt in the 15th century BCE, she defied expectations by assuming full Kingship – adopting the regalia, titles and divine authority traditionally reserved for men. Her reign was marked by political stability, flourishing trade and monumental architectural achievements, most notably her majestic mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. Yet, after her death, Hatshepsut's name and image were systematically erased from monuments and records, plunging her legacy into obscurity for centuries.In this episode of The Thinking Traveller, we are joined by Egyptologist Lucia Gahlin as she explores the rise and reign of this remarkable ruler, the myths surrounding her identity and the rediscovery that brought her back into the historical spotlight.Academy Travel is a leading specialist in small-group cultural tours, allowing you to travel with like-minded companions and learn from internationally renowned experts.

Scripture Reading: Revelation 1:1-8 From the first line in the book of Revelation, John exalts Christ. Then, in the first chapter, he describes Christ in majestic terms. Christ is the "faithful witness" … the "firstborn from the dead" … the "ruler of the kings on earth" (Rev 1:5). Christ loves us and has freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests. This prompts John's heart and pen to surge into a doxology … "to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen" (Rev 1:5). The words "I am the Alpha and the Omega" in Revelation 1:8 are words from God the Father. But those same words are echoed by Christ in Revelation 22:13. To say that Christ is the ruler of kings on earth is to declare His sovereignty, by which He governs everything that rulers do. "Kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations" (Psa 22:27). "The heart of the king is in the hand of the LORD . . . he turns it wherever he will" (Prov 21:1). "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand" (Prov 19:21). To say that Christ is the Alpha and the Omega is to declare His eternality and self-existence. Our response before Christ should be reverential fear and ecstatic delight and thankful adoration. "There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due" (Jer 10:6-7).
