Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 176  - 2025 NFL Draft... of Biblical Characters What if the NFL Draft looked a little more… Biblical? Welcome to a truly unique episode of Church Pew Sports, where the crew dives into a one-of-a-kind fantasy draft—selecting Biblical figures to build the ultimate NFL team. It's the 2025 NFL Biblical Character Draft, and trust us, it's just as wild, hilarious, and thought-provoking as it sounds. In this episode, Joshua takes Samson off the board early for his raw power and sky-high potential, even if his locker room presence might raise a few eyebrows. Bill picks John, the beloved disciple, envisioning him as a lightning-fast wide receiver. Meanwhile, Paul throws a massive curveball by selecting Og, the King of Bashan—arguably the biggest draft pick in NFL history. From linebackers with Daniel's fearlessness to quarterbacks like Gideon and David with legendary leadership skills, the crew debates the perfect blend of spiritual strength and gridiron grit. There's even talk of Methuselah anchoring the O-line with centuries of chemistry-building experience! As the episode unfolds, the team mixes humor, biblical insight, and football strategy, all while exploring how faith intersects with competition. The conversation wraps with thoughts on modern sports—from TV-driven college rankings to the ethics of roster building in today's NCAA. It's the draft episode you never knew you needed—until now.

Welcome to a bonus episode of The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. In today's episode, environment reporter Sue Surkes makes a guest appearance, stepping in for Berman. This is a week of spring holidays, and so we are dedicating the program to some of the biblical flora of the Land of Israel. In honor of Easter, which is celebrated by much of Christendom on Sunday, we begin with a date palm that was brought back from the dead and a plant that resurrects itself. In 2008, Dr. Elaine Solowey germinated a 1,900-year-old date palm seed that took the name Methuselah after the long-lived biblical character. She has since gone on to revive several more ancient seeds, including females that bear fruit. Surkes tells the story of Solowey's amazing success -- and describes how the dates taste. Next, we hear about the Rose of Jericho, which was named for the biblical city of Jericho that constantly rose from its ashes -- and still stands today. It's an extraordinary story of a plant surviving in the harshest of circumstances. We then turn to a tree that is called the Christ-thorn jujube (shezaf). Traditionally, this type of tree was used to create the thorny crown that Jesus wore on his last journey down the Via Dolorosa. Surkes then speaks about the olive tree -- both the last few remaining "wild" variety located near Atlit, and the cultivated variety. She turns to Psalm 128 to show how being acquainted with the flora of the Land of Israel gives a deeper meaning to the text. And finally, we speculate on the Garden of Eden's "forbidden fruit." Was it an apple? Or maybe a fig? Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves and the video was edited by Thomas Girsch.

Overview:In this episode of Ryan and Brian's Bible Bistro, the hosts dive into the intriguing world of First Enoch, a pseudepigraphical text that has captured the curiosity of many within and beyond Christian circles. Ryan and Brian discuss its origins, content, and significance while addressing common questions about its relationship to the biblical canon and its historical context. This episode offers a fresh perspective, including Brian's first-time reading impressions, and aims to clarify what First Enoch is—and what it isn't.What is First Enoch?Defined as a pseudepigraphical book, meaning it's falsely attributed to Enoch, a descendant of Adam and father of Methuselah, who didn't actually write it.Likely composed between the 3rd century BC and post-New Testament times, with parts dated to the intertestamental period.Fits the genre of apocalyptic literature, characterized by divine guides and supernatural narratives (e.g., similar to Revelation and Daniel).Genesis 5:24 highlights Enoch's unique story: “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away,” sparking fascination as one of two Old Testament figures (alongside Elijah) not said to have died.Structure of First EnochComprises 108 chapters divided into five sections:Book of Watchers (Ch. 1-36): Focuses on fallen angels (sons of God) intermarrying with human women, producing the Nephilim (giants), and introducing evil via figures like Azazel.Similitudes of Enoch (Ch. 37-71): Explores angelology, the “Son of Man,” and divine judgment, with debated dating relative to the New Testament.Astronomical Book (Ch. 72-82): Details a solar calendar (364 days), contrasting with the Jewish lunar calendar, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.Book of Dream Visions (Ch. 83-90): Recasts Israel's history through animal allegory (e.g., sheep as the righteous, boars as adversaries), ending with the Maccabean period.Epistle of Enoch (Ch. 91-108): Offers exhortations, an “Apocalypse of Weeks,” and additional Noah-related content.Why the Interest in First Enoch?Answers curious questions left open by canonical Scripture, such as the identity of the Nephilim (Genesis 6) and the origins of evil.Referenced in Jude 14-15 (quoting 1 Enoch 1:9), and possibly alluded to in 1 Peter 3:19-20 and 2 Peter 2:4-5, raising questions about its early Christian reception.Included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's canon (81 books total), with the only complete manuscript preserved in an Ethiopian language.Parallels in other texts like the Book of Jubilees and the Mormon Book of Moses fuel further intrigue.First Impressions and ObservationsBrian shares his initial reaction: First Enoch feels “wild” and disjointed compared to Scripture, lacking the Bible's narrative continuity and spiritual coherence.Ryan notes its appeal lies in sensationalism (e.g., YouTube videos about hidden knowledge), but it lacks the authoritative character of canonical texts.Key Passages Explored1 Enoch 20: Lists seven archangels (Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, Remiel), expanding biblical angelology beyond Michael and Gabriel.1 Enoch 13:1-2: Enoch condemns Azazel for teaching humanity unrighteousness, casting him as a source of evil.1 Enoch 89:72+: Animal allegory depicts the rebuilding of Zerubbabel's temple, critiquing its inadequacy.1 Enoch 40: Four archangels praise God, reminiscent of...

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalal

Can gratitude truly unlock the secret to happiness? In our latest episode of the Prayer Podcast, we explore this profound question through the lens of Jewish prayer. We begin by examining the 15 blessings of gratitude recited each morning, highlighting their role in fostering appreciation for life's often-overlooked abundance. As we connect these blessings to happiness and the significance of the number 18 in Jewish prayer, we reflect on the spiritual marvels of our senses and emotions and the symbolic renewal a night's sleep offers.Every morning, our capacity for discernment helps us set the day's tone. Using the natural world as inspiration, such as a rooster's ability to distinguish between night and day, we delve into our own struggles to differentiate between good and evil. This ability is underscored as life's greatest gift, as we express gratitude for the wisdom to make conscious choices. By acknowledging the eternal struggle between spiritual and physical pursuits, we remind ourselves of the importance of living each day with clarity and intention, steering clear from distractions that tempt us away from awareness.This episode also takes a thoughtful look at traditional Jewish blessings, offering a nuanced understanding of phrases like "Shaloh Asani Goi." Through comparing the merits of biblical figures like Methuselah and Esther, we emphasize the unique obligations and opportunities these blessings acknowledge. As we wrap up, we extend heartfelt thanks to our listeners for their support and engagement, underscoring the value of community and connection in our shared journey of understanding and growth. Join us for these reflections and insights as we appreciate the profound gifts of intellect and time._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #25) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

Many appear to forget that we are saved and justified as sinners, and only sinners; and that we never can attain to anything higher, if we live to the age of Methuselah. Redeemed sinners, justified sinners, and renewed sinners doubtless we must be,--but sinners, sinners, sinners, we shall be always to the very last. They do not seem to comprehend that there is a wide difference between our justification and our sanctification.

The phrase old as Methuselah describes someone quite advanced in years. In ancient scripture, Methuselah was a man who somehow lived to the ripe old age of 969.

Why does Star Trek's utopianism grate against Aspen?This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure. Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower). Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.__________________________________Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspodWatch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspodTheme by Tosin AwofesoSocial Media:https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspodhttps://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.socialWant to ask us questions?

And he named them “Mankind” [a] when they were created.3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named himSeth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adamlived a total of 930 years, and then he died.6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father [b] of Enosh. 7 After he became the father of Enosh,Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, andthen he died.9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 After he became the father of Kenan,Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years,and then he died.12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 After he became the father ofMahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of910 years, and then he died.15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 After he became the father ofJared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a totalof 895 years, and then he died.18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father ofEnoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962years, and then he died.21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father ofMethuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons anddaughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then hewas no more, because God took him away.25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After he became the fatherof Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselahlived a total of 969 years, and then he died.28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah [c] and said, “He will comfort usin the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.” 30 After Noah wasborn, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of777 years, and then he died.32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.1. Why pause and study this chapter?- Our message series are based on a Book of the Bible and not current events or Life Skills 101,starring Jesus. Genesis 5 is the next passage…it's in the Bible, so it's important.- Our messages are exegetical, not eisegetical…or exegesis vs. eisegesis.Exegesis - objective interpretation of the text to discover it's original meaningEisegesis - Involves reading one's own ideas into the text, and is not concerned with theoriginal context.2. What can we learn from Gensis 5?- Genesis 5 is the beginning of the next major section of Genesis- It documents the faithfulness of God as He preserves what would be the bloodline of Jesus, throughNoah's son, Shem. In that, Genesis 5 presents an early genealogy of the people of God.- Consider the possibility that this genealogy exists for the sake of the Gospel.- For those in Christ, it's an early family tree- It's a wide-angle view of redemptive history after the fall- Genesis 5 connects God's faithfulness from Adam through Noah and ultimately to all of us whobelong to Him through our faith in Jesus.- That's a pretty legit reason for us take a closer look, right?3. Genesis 5 opens by echoing Chapter 1:Genesis 5:1-2When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male andfemale and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” [a] when they were created.- Mankind = the human race- Just a reminder that God created mankind – in His own likeness – male and female and Heblessed them.4. A unique inclusion in this genealogy is verse 3:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named himSeth. - So just as God fathers Adam and makes humanity in His likeness, so Adam reflects the imageof God by fathering a son who embodies his own likeness and image.o It seems to really emphasize the importance of this bloodline – which we know nowleads us to Jesus5. The most shocking aspect of Genesis 5 is that it bluntly documents a series of deaths – reminding usthat things were not the way they were originally designed to be prior to the fall.Genesis 5:4-54 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam liveda total of 930 years, and then he died.- So in this chapter, right at the start, we get a heads up to the God-inspired redemption offeredthrough this bloodline – knowing that this genealogy leads to Jesus, while simultaneouslyreceiving a sobering reminder of the fall – the reason why redemption through Jesus wasnecessary.It may be a stretch, but I believe the genealogy in Genesis 5 is a very early reminder – in retrospect, ofthe reality of Romans 6:23Romans 6:23“23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in [a] Christ Jesus our Lord.”- those “…and then he died” statements are chilling compared to the life God intended for Adamand Eve…and all of us.- from the fall forward, humanity is held in slavery…Hebrews 2:14-15“14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he (Jesus) too shared in their humanity so that by his death hemight break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those whoall their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”-As Adam tastes death as a judgement for sin, Jesus comes as a second Adam, who not only tastesdeath, but overcomes it and reverses the curse. “crushes the head of the serpent” from Genesis 3:13Romans 5:12-17“12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this waydeath came to all people, because all sinned—13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone'saccount where there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time ofMoses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of theone to come.15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how muchmore did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to themany! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followedone sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and broughtjustification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how muchmore will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign inlife through the one man, Jesus Christ!”This genealogy shows us the very beginning of God's redemptive plan for humanity.5. There are 25 genealogies in the Bible- They recount deaths and births- But uncommon elements seem to stand out – those included people or asides that break fromthe typical script – This should catch our attention because it happens for a reason.- Everyone's family tree has folks who stand out a little more than others – there'ssomething distinct about them.- Even in Amy's and my family trees, there are folks that got a bronze metal in theOlympics (Amy's), busted Al Capone (also Amy's), a former president (naturally Amy's)and a gangster - former Public Enemy Number 1 (OK…my tree)6. Adam's descendent Enoch, born of the line of Seth, was one of those uncommon people…Genesis 5:21-2421 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father ofMethuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons anddaughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then hewas no more, because God took him away.- Up to this point, for each generation, we have a man living a certain number of years,fathers at least the son mentioned, lives longer, then dies.- Yet – we have a pause, or disruption with Enoch – why?- Obviously, Enoch had a close relationship with God. How do we know? Because the texttakes a break from the pattern to tell us that Enoch walked faithfully with Godo It suggests an intimacy unseen since before the Fallo This “walking with God” suggests a righteousness that comes by faith, and shows usthe intimate relationship we, as Christians, should have with God as describedthroughout the New Testament.- Enoch shows us the difference between being welcomed by God instead of facing death –rather than die like Adam's other descendants, Enoch gets taken by God. Hebrews 11:5shines a little more light on what happened with Enoch:Hebrews 11:55 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found,because God had taken him away.” [a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleasedGod.- One could say that the faith of Enoch led to the favor of God…for Christians, this mightmean:- One could say that the Believer's future is not based on his or her work, but his or her walkwhich of course, does include works prepared in advance by God)- A believer's future is not based on credentials, but based on character- It's defined not by pleasing others, but by pleasing God.- In fact, Hebrews 11:6 follows saying:Hebrews 11:66 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe thathe exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.- God is pleased with those who wholly believe what His word says about Him.- Also, God rewards those who seek Him- Enoch also believed that God judges those who reject Him…How do we know this?Jude 14-1514 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands uponthousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts theyhave committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken againsthim.”- What we see in Enoch's walk was that it was rooted in deepest intimacy with God: he knewGod.- His walk rested on great faith – he believed in God with his whole heart- He believed that God would judge and reward all who live- This doesn't describe the high point of his life, but his entire life – over 300 years of aprogressively closer walk with God.- Then “God took him away”When Enoch was just a young man…365 years old…” he was no more, because God took him away.”- What are they saying here? How did God just take him?- Maybe it was similar to how God took Elijah…in a chariot of fire. It DOES sound a littlefamiliar when 2 Kings 2:11-12 says “…and Elisha saw him no more”2 Kings 2:11-1211 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appearedand separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. 12 Elisha saw this and criedout, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then hetook hold of his garment and tore it in two.- What we can surmise by this, is that Enoch was taken from earthly life to eternal life.- God will do the same for us…probably not the same way, but certainly for the same reasonand the same goal…through JesusSo how does Enoch relate to or inform us as Christians?- What if what happened to Enoch was to encourage all of us to walk with God.- What if what happened to Enoch is intended to awaken all of us to the hope of life afterdeath.- I would think it awakened something in his contemporaries…hey had a LOT of time to thinkabout it.- His son, Methuselah had 969 years to mull this over!- Even as we discuss Chapter 5 as the beginning of the genealogy of Jesus, before Jesus wasborn, we see this hope manifested in some of the greats of the Old Testament:Job 19:25-27- 25 I know that my redeemer [a] lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. [b]26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet [c] in [d] my flesh I will see God;27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!Daniel 12:2-32 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others toshame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise [a] will shine like the brightness of theheavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.- Don't these verses foreshadow the New Testament promises of Christ's return?SO – How do we walk faithfully with God?1. Pray – alwaysa. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-1816 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is thewill of God in Christ Jesus for you.- You cannot have a flourishing relationship with someone you don't talk to.- Prayer is a time to tell God what is going on in our lives, to ask for guidance and wisdom, torepent of our sin and to enjoy His presence. It is a time to admit that God is greater than weare and to trust Him-2. Surrender to His will and way of lifea. Galatians 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved meand gave himself for me.b. Surrendering your life requires an eternal perspective- Prayer of Darren's friend –o Thank you God for one more day, and thank you God for one less day.- c. This means surrendering everything you are- your job- your family- your money – your security- your past, present and future-3. Read the Bible- The inspired word of God- Psalm 119:105- “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”- You can't walk with God in the dark.4. Live like Jesusa. Obey His commandsb. 1 John 2:6“6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”- “My dad is my hero”5. Confession ad Repentancea. Recognizing and confessing sini. The world doesn't determine what sin is – God doesii. If you pray, surrender your life to Him, read His word, and live like Jesus, you'llrecognize the sin in your life, you'll know what to give Himiii. He's already died for it – give it to Him1 John 1:9“9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and tocleanse us from all unrighteousness.”iv. How many of us are sitting in a prison cell with door already opened?v. Walk out of the cell that Jesus opened, and walk with God.

There isn't a lot we can say about the meanings of the names in Genesis 5, because we don't even know for sure if they are Hebrew names (was Hebrew around before the Tower of Babel?), and even if they are, we aren't entirely sure what most of them mean. But we can note what appear to be some general trends, and some interesting details about Enoch's and Methuselah's names.Music Credit: J. S. Bach, “Wir eilen mit schwachen, doch emsigen Schritten,” aria from “Jesu, der du meine Seele,” BWV 78 (Leipzig, 1724).

0905 瑪土撒拉 Methuselah by 靈修廣播站

Welcome to this special episode of China Compass, from Macau in the South China Sea. After mentioning my appearance this morning on Crosspolitic, I introduce a new series called “Wangyi’s Prison Pulpit” by looking at what he wrote regarding True Freedom during seasons of persecution: Wangyi wrote: “I hope God uses me, by means of first losing my personal freedom, to tell those who have deprived me of my personal freedom that there is an authority higher than their authority, and that there is a freedom that they cannot restrain, a freedom that fills the church of the crucified and risen Jesus Christ.” Next, I share a few fascinating details about the little city-state of Macau: Macau: Las Vegas of the East, Reclaimed Land, Longest Bridge, Most Dense City, etc Third, I talk about “The Legacy of Pastor Lucky”, who died January 20, 2007: Read more at China Call Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/chinacall/p/the-legacy-of-pastor-lucky "Pastor Lucky has been obsessed with China all his life. No matter where he serves, he always has an unsolvable Chinese complex. When China just opened up in the early 1980s, he went to mainland China to preach the gospel to his own flesh and blood, build churches, and train preachers… Morrison was the first Christian missionary to come to China. He served in China for 27 years, translated the Chinese Bible, and later died in Macau. Pastor Ji often took his friends to see his cemetery because he felt that Morrison loved China. The scripture engraved on Morrison's tombstone comes from Revelation 14:13: "From now on, blessed are the dead in the Lord. Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labors, for the fruit of their works will follow them." I believe that Pastor Ji, who has worked silently for the gospel of China throughout his life, is also remembered by the Lord." Finally, I talk about China’s first missionary, Robert Morrison, and his book, The Memoirs of William Milne, which I released today on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJBRN3FB?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520 I first stumbled on the relatively unknown story of William Milne when researching Robert Morrison, one of the more famous missionaries in China's history. However, Milne was Morrison's equal in many ways. They served in many of the same places (Canton, Macau, Malacca). They seemed to share the same level of fluency in Chinese. Both were Bible translators, and they corrected each other's work. One possibility as to why Milne is lesser known is that he died so young, yet Morrison lived to see the Chinese Bible through to completion. When I found Morrison's edition of Milne's Memoirs, I knew immediately that this was something I wanted to both read and republish. In reality, people are more likely to read about Milne if Morrison commends him to them. The book also turned out to be an exciting window into the minds of both men. There is an intimacy to this work that cannot be reproduced in a normal biography. This book imperfectly (it is representative, not exhaustive, of his words and actions) tells the story of William Milne’s family and his sacrificial efforts to plant the Gospel in hostile soil by translating, printing, and shipping (literally) God’s Word far and wide throughout the Chinese diaspora. Ironically, Milne's one relatively well-known quote about the difficulty of learning Chinese is not found in these pages, and so I share it here. He stated that learning Chinese is. . . “a work for men with bodies of brass, lungs of steel, heads of oak, hands of spring-steel, eyes of eagles, hearts of apostles, memories of angels, and lives of Methuselah!”

Reading and interpreting Genesis Chapter 5. Mostly nonsensical genealogical "records" of who begat whom. Most impressive parts are the long lives of these sons and posterity of Adam all the way to Noah. Many of the men had children while well into their hundreds. Methuselah lives to 969 years old while Enoch doesn't die at all but rather "goes with God."

About the show In the first half, Dr. Joel Wallach addressed the human body's ability to achieve healing through natural remedies that aid in the recovery from chronic conditions that plague Americans today. Referencing biblical figures like Adam, Noah, and Methuselah, who were said to have lived for hundreds of years, he connected their longevity to the notion that they inhabited the "land and milk honey." Wallach suggested that this milk was "glacial milk"-- ground-up rocks at the top of glaciers that released white silt, heavy in minerals that flowed into streams, which the biblical-era figures drank, and this greatly increased their lifespans. Wallach announced the publication of his new book on metabolic syndrome (related conditions said to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). About 1/3 of American adults have the syndrome, he reported, but rather than a genetic problem, he attributes it to nutritional deficiencies and not avoiding the "bad stuff," which he listed as fried foods, processed meat, oils, gluten soy, wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, sugar, and carbonated drinks. In response to a caller's inquiry about Bell's palsy, Wallach said he believes the condition is due to the cramping of a cranial nerve from osteoporosis and can be reversed with the proper nutrients that rebuild the myelin in the brain and spinal cord. ------------------ Chemist Steve Colbern, who specializes in materials science, says that he and his wife displayed evidence of being visited and implanted by the alien Greys. In the latter half, he shared his research about Mars-- he believes that plant life and past civilizations on the Red Planet have been covered up and also updated his work with the late Dr. Roger Leir, whom he initially contacted for the removal of an alien implant in his toe. Regarding Mars, Colbern asserted that evidence for plant life has been seen clearly in the Orbiter mission photos, as well as huge trees near the planet's south pole. In the rover photographs, there's what looks like foundations of buildings, as well as metallic junk and crash debris, he added. One Roper poll reported that about 3% of the public has been affected by alien abduction at least once, and according to Colburn's research, about .1% of the population "are Class II experiencers that are actually part of the alien program." Hybrids are the primary purpose of the program, he continued, though abductions seem to be decreasing in number. The hybrids, raised aboard their ships, look mostly indistinguishable from regular humans, he noted, and the Greys' agenda is to use them to repopulate our planet after a devastating war or pandemic. "But they're not going to do anything to us; they're going to wait for us to do it to ourselves," Colburn clarified. He shared that the Greys have said they hail from planets within 100 light years, and are part of an alliance of seven similar species. In addition to the alien implant he had removed, he believes he still has several others embedded in him, including one "that started giving out radio signals when I was doing a Japanese TV show." During the last half-hour, George featured his 6/28/21 interview with hypnotherapist Barbara Lamb on children's ET encounters. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

Send us a Text Message.The point is NOT that Methuselah lived 969 years, as impressive as this is.  He sets the world record for longevity. The main point is what follows the comma, "...and he died."So just like the rest of us, Methuselah dies.  Then what? Well, similar to us, judgement. Life is short, so let's do it right. Life is short, receive the Savior.  Bewithme.us Apple Podcasts and Google podcasts to subscribe. Instagram.

One of the more lovable guys on TV, I think, is the weatherman named Al Roker. He's even got a book about his battle with losing weight. At one point Al was quoted as saying that he weighed in at 340 pounds at 5'8". Notice I said weighed in. That was past tense. After carrying around all those pounds for a while, one day he suddenly goes out to a gym and asked them to put him on a diet and an exercise program that will radically reduce his size. He lost 140 pounds. And what was it that suddenly got him wanting to do something about weight that he'd carried around for a long time? His young daughter came up to him one day when he had his shirt off and she made the kind of blunt, off-the-cuff observation about how he looked that only a child can make in all innocence and get away with it. Well that was it! Hello gymnasium! Goodbye fat. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "My Child, My Mirror - When a Parent Looks Up." Our word for today from the Word of God takes us way back to nearly the beginning of the human race to a man named Enoch. Now, God has some especially complimentary things to say about Enoch. In Genesis 5:21-24, he reveals a change that took place in this man's life that could change the course of your life too. The Bible says, "When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah." Then it says, "After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God." Now, did you notice the math here? Not just the longer life they enjoyed back then. Enoch lived the first 65 years of his life with no mention of a relationship with God. Then suddenly he starts walking with God, and continues to have this intimate relationship with his Creator through the rest of his life. What was the catalyst that changed Enoch? The same thing that changed an overweight TV personality - his child. After he became a father, it says, is when Enoch walked with God. There's something about having a child that makes you start thinking about yourself in ways you've never thought of yourself before. They're mirrors to us. As a dad or a mom, trying to shape this life that we've been entrusted with, we begin to see things we may have never seen fully before. Like our own incompleteness, our inadequacies, our weaknesses that can now do serious damage to this vulnerable life in our hands. Suddenly we consider looking up as we maybe have never have done before and saying, "Help!" Well, the good news is that God stands ready to answer our cry for help big time. In fact, He may have been waiting a long time for you to finally recognize that you are incomplete. You are inadequate and you've always been in need of what only He can do for you - a Savior. Ultimately, our children show us the real weight we've been carrying all these years. They help us see the weight of our own self-centeredness, our unresolved issues, our dark side, our sin. We can never walk with a perfect God as long as we're carrying all this. And being a mom or dad shows us like nothing else how deep our need is for this personal relationship we were made for and how much we need a rescue. In spite of our sin, God loves us and He wants to walk with you for the rest of your life. But that walk can only begin one place - at the cross where God's one and only Son died to pay the death penalty for what you and I deserve. We did the sinning, but Jesus did the dying. The Bible says, "You who were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ." Your walk with God begins when you say, "Jesus, I'm putting all my trust in You to be my Savior from my sin." If you've never done that, let this be the day you say, "Jesus, I'm yours." I'd love to help you begin that relationship and that's why our website is there. It's ANewStory.com. If you're a mom or dad, there are feet now following you wherever you walk. For their sake and for yours, be sure you're walking with God.

GUARENTEED CLIMATE CHANGE SUCCESS: 1/4:  The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah.   When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1873 Australiay

Throughout his career, Dr. Steven Austad has been exploring aging, longevity, and life extension in a variety of animals. He has written multiple books, including “Why We Age: What Science Is Discovering about the Body's Journey Through Life” and “Methuselah's Zoo: What Nature Can Teach Us about Living Longer, Healthier Lives.” In this interview, Dr. Austad discusses the topic of longevity and the progress being made toward curing some of humanity's most devastating diseases - specifically heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's. He shares his belief that humanity is on track to make cancer a managed disease. Dr. Austad talks about new drug discoveries made in the last four years that should dramatically improve our ability to fight our most devastating diseases and he even talks about the surprising benefits being realized from the use of popular weight loss drugs. He goes on to address how science has effectively extended life over the last 125 years, but many people who are going to live much longer haven't changed their attitudes and expectations about their retirement age. Dr. Austad has dedicated his career to understanding the science of how and why we age. He is a distinguished professor and Protective Life Endowed Chair in Healthy Aging Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He has done field research in The United States, Venezuela, East Africa, Micronesia, and Papua New Guinea. Dr. Austad's books include “Why We Age: What Science Is Discovering about the Body's Journey Through Life” and “Methuselah's Zoo: What Nature Can Teach Us about Living Longer, Healthier Lives.”
