“When you stop using the word can't and start using the word can, you'll soon realise that the person you thought you were is no match for the one that you really are.” In this episode of Tales to Inspire, Steve Hill shares his incredible journey from teaching to tackling some of the world's toughest challenges. Born and raised in Oldham, Steve has spent 28 years teaching, believing it to be the greatest privilege to inspire young minds. Steve's path changed after an unsatisfying stint as a quantity surveyor. His mother's advice to take action led him to try teaching, where he discovered his passion for guiding students through growth and teamwork. A moment of introspection 15 years ago led Steve to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, showing his students that he lived by the inspirational quotes in his classroom. This adventure was the first of many, including Mount Blanc, the Sahara Desert, the Arctic, and the Amazon jungle ultra-marathon. Each year, his students followed his journeys, learning about resilience and determination. Steve's challenges also supported various charities, nominated by his students. A memorable experience in Uganda, where a young boy shared his ice cream with Steve during a marathon, inspired him to establish the Team Hill Charitable Trust. The charity supports schools and clinics in Uganda and children and families in northwest England. During the lockdown, Steve wrote a book about his adventures, which captivated his students and further solidified his role as an inspirational figure. As he transitions from teaching, Steve aims to inspire thousands more through his charity, showing children that with hard work and big dreams, they can overcome any obstacle. Tune in to hear Steve Hill's journey, filled with adventure and the belief that when you start using the word “can,” you'll discover a new version of yourself.

Louis Alexander boasts a pretty awesome job title: Professional Explorer. And it's certainly one he merits, having recently completed 7 marathons on each of the 7 continents - a feat only a few hundred people in history have ever accomplished. But what is more remarkable about Louis, is that he has achieved all this at the age of 24. And this is just the tip of his adventurous CV. Louis' achievements also include rowing the English Channel, swimming across from Alcatraz (without a wetsuit), Summiting Mount Blanc and a much, much more. Louis owes his adventurous career down to one man - his Grandad, who Louis witnessed battle dementia for 17 years of his life. After his Grandad sadly passed, Louis made a promise, that he would support the fight against dementia until the day we find a cure. In this conversation, Louis talks about how he was able to honour his grandad with his first professional project - running 17 marathons in 17 days, his sketchy moment on Mount Blanc, why he undertakes challenging swims, and why he wanted to run 7 marathons across 7 continents. We discuss the state of dementia in the UK, how his preparation for challenges have evolved, how he got an invite to 10 Downing Street to deliver a letter to the Prime Minister, and his hopes and dreams for pioneering future expeditions.

On this weeks episode we dive into deep waters, from the mysterious abyss of our oceans to the dark corners of high finance and even the sinister secrets of the world's powerful elites. First, submerge with us into the enigmatic ocean depths, as we discuss the lost submarine on a peculiar Titanic expedition, intriguing sounds echoing from the underwater world every half hour, and the captivating possibility of aquatic extraterrestrials. Next, we resurface into the complex world of politics and economics, discussing a shocking $6.2 billion Pentagon accounting 'error' benefitting Ukraine, and exposing a candid conversation of a BlackRock recruiter that confirms our worst suspicions. From there, we delve into a grim criminal case: the sentencing of a CNN producer for child sex crimes and the disconcerting links to Ghislaine Maxwell. The trail of darkness doesn't end there - if you're game to stick around, we're ready to delve into a thought-provoking discussion on potential global blackmail, secret military bases, and mind control. So before we set sail on this daunting voyage, hit that subscribe button, and then, if you're a regular listener, help us by leaving a five-star review. Buckle up for a journey that could take us to the brink of what we know and understand about our world - who knows where we'll end up?   All Links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Merch: https://antielite.club Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com ----more---- Full Transcription:   The Adams archive.  Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on this week's episode. Second episode, we are going to be going into the deep, dark depths, not just of the ocean, discussing the recently lost. Submarine that was down for some reason, looking at the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. So we will discuss that. We are also going to discuss the weird noises that they're hearing every 30 minutes coming from the depths of the ocean when they've been on this hunt. As well as my, uh, hopeful, uh, dream that this ends in us figuring out that we have had undersea aliens this entire time that rescue this mission. So we'll talk about that and then we're gonna jump into some other topics, including, uh, the Pentagon announcing that there was an accounting error providing an extra 6.2 billion to Ukraine. That is quite an accounting error and I betcha nobody lost their job cuz they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Then speaking of large finances, a BlackRock employee. Came out and well didn't come out. He was, uh, thinking he was on the date with somebody from O'Keefe Media, the former head of Project Veritas, uh, started O'Keefe Media Group and caught somebody from BlackRock, a BlackRock recruiter saying everything that we already knew, but just from the perspective of an employee there. So we'll discuss that. Then we will get into the depths of the conversation where we're going to talk about the CNN producer who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Then we'll get into his relationship or his wife's relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell as there's some photos that we will discuss surrounding that. And then if we're feeling frisky and you stick with me the whole time, we might just talk about the blackmail that is running the world underground military bases. Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming and the mind control running our world. I came across an interesting Reddit thread that led me down some rabbit holes that we will explore together if you stick around. So first thing I need you to do is head over to the.

All right. I would appreciate it. From the bottom of my beautifully large heart. All right,  today's podcast, we're going deep. Let's jump into it.    The Adams archive.  All right, let's get right into it. If you have not heard yet, which you probably have because everybody's talking about it, there was a group of, well, one, I believe it was Iranian or Israeli billionaire, as well as some other crazy ass people who decided to put their life on the line to go look at a screen in the submarine to take a look at the Titanic. These people must really love Leonardo DiCaprio because it cost around $250,000 just to go on this excursion. Pretty wild that this many people at one time would actually go and do that. Um, so I am reading this article from Real News, no Bullshit, which just came up with a bullshit. Uh, Pop up saying that I'm not subscribed, which I am. So hold on one second while I go ahead and click that beautiful button. All right, there we go. Now this article says, US Coast Guard leads urgent search for Titanic viewing submarine. It goes on to say, A rescue operation led by the US Coast Guard with Canadian support began on Monday in the Atlantic Ocean to find a submersible vessel used for Titanic exploration, which was reported missing on Sunday evening south of St. John's, new Finland, interesting Open gate expeditions. The company that owns the Submersible Con, uh, confirmed the search for its five person vessel and expressed concerns for the crew and their families. Wow. Keeps wanting me to sign in, even though I'm already signed in. Come on real news. Um, let me just give you my breakdown while this is pulling up. So basically, these four crazy ass dudes went down with this other crazy ass dude who owns a submarine, and he takes people down to go see the Titanic. Now, when you think of a, when you think of a submarine, usually you think of this big, beautiful thing with like a, you know, a little tube coming out the top of it, and sonar and all this wild other shit. This doesn't have that. This looks like a tin can wrapped in duct tape. And by the way, the way that he controls this thing is with a PlayStation and controller, a literal Bluetooth PlayStation controller. And also the only thing that these four guys can actually see is TV screens. They're sitting in this like seven by four box together with four other people looking at TV screens. They can't even actually see the Titanic. There's like a, a heat, um, camera and like IR camera that they can actually see the Titanic with out of a screen. They don't actually get to go view it themselves. They sit there with a remote control. You could have taken a drone, just get a drone for 250 grand. You probably could have bought seven of them. What the hell are you doing? Putting yourself in danger this way. These guys look stoked though. Um, so this article's backed up and it's gone. So let's find another one. Um, we'll just move on from real news cuz that's, uh, making me irritated. All right, so it says it was a suicide mission, said the German adventurer recalling his past experience aboard the Titanic, exploring submersible now lost at sea. So this is somebody else that came out and talked about this and this man says, And this is coming from the post-millennial. It starts off by saying, while an international effort is underway to rescue those on board, the Titanic exploring submersible that has been lost at sea, a German adventurer who once went on the same exploration called the voyage a suicide mission as officials raced against time before the vessel loses its oxygen supply, Arthur Lobel told the German outlet build that. He went on the voyage in August of 2021 and immediately noticed a flu, a slew of concerning red flags. And here's a little bit from Fox News. What could possibly have happened? Uh, uh, worst, worst situation is, you know, something happened to the hull. And, uh, and our fear is, is it, you know, it imploded at around 3,200 meters. And is there anything that the US Navy can do right now? No. No. I mean, I. I don't see anything that can happen at this point. I mean, I'm trying to be, you know, somewhat cautious and, you know, don't want to basically be the naysayer of what's going on. But I, when you're talking 6,000 pounds per square wrench, it is a dangerous environment. More people have been to outer space than to this depth of the ocean. And when you're diving in these situations, you have to, you have to cross your, cross, your t's, dot your i's, you have to do everything absolutely perfect and by the book. And, you know, throw in a bunch of tourists in a new sub that, you know, was just created over the last several years. Um, it, it's not looking good, Jesse. Alright, well thanks for joining us in this, uh, tender time and we're gonna be praying for everybody on that sub. Thanks. Wow. That's a shocking thing to say that more people have been to outer space than have been to the same depths of the ocean as they took this tin can with a PlayStation controller. Imagine paying $250,000 just to go to your own death. Now, there was far more pressing things that went on this week, including Hunter Biden essentially getting off, uh, during a, um, hearing where he pled guilty to two charges, um, for tax evasion among several other things like I posted about. Um, so this is not to take away from those things, but this is what everybody's talking about. So here we are for very, very rich people are sitting very, very deep under the ocean. Now, again, that's not to take away from the fact that this is tragic and horrible, um, cause I can't imagine the, the, the amount of stress and anxiety and the, the, you know, if, if they're alive right now. Um, currently as we're having this discussion and conversation, they're running out of air. So, terrible, terrible. But this goes on to say, The that, uh, he was recalling his experience on board the Titans submersible that tours the famous Titanic wreckage, 12,000 feet below sea level. It was a suicide mission. He exclaimed the first submarine, didn't work, then a dive at 1600 meters had to be abandoned. Lobel told the outlet that he went on the underwater expedition with two passengers that are currently trapped aboard this missing vessel French Titanic expert Paul Harvey n Gillette 73, and Ocean Gate CEO Stockton Rush 61. The two men are trapped with three other passengers in this vessel, which authorities believe to be located around 350 miles off the coast of Canada, excuse me. And it says, while the vessel was about to launch mobile explained that the submersible had a series of electrical issues, which resulted in a five hour delay. In addition to those issues, the entrepreneur who paid $110,000 for his ticket said that the bracket of the stabilization tube had to be reattached with zip ties. The stabilization tube balances the submarine according to the outlet. You need strong nerves. You mustn't be claustrophobic and you have to be able to sit cross-legged for 10 hours. He said, of his experience, it must be held down there. There's about 2.5 meters of space. It's four degrees. There's no chair and no toilet. Those aboard. The Titans submersible, which has been missing since Sunday, include a British billionaire, Harnish Harding, Pakistani businessman should zdi de wood and his 19 year old son and the two passengers previously mentioned. As of Tuesday afternoon, the submersible has around 41 hours of oxygen supply left and it is now Wednesday. Uh, they're looking at maybe 16 hours or so. Um, depending on how good you are in math. So, um, this also says that, uh, another article, and this one coming from The Daily Wire says that authorities don't know what's causing underwater banging. As experts rush to determine if sound comes from these Titanic sub, the US Coast Guard is still trying to determine if the underwater noises picked up by sonar planes. Tuesday came from the missing Titanic submersible. The search and rescue teams detected banging sounds in 30 minute intervals near where the five passengers aboard the Titanic sub went missing. During a Wednesday afternoon press conference, coast Guard Captain Jamie Fredericks said that the team of experts is listening to recordings of the baning sounds picking up by search and rescue teams, but added we don't know what they are. To be frank with you at the news conference, Carl Hartsford of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute said it's possible for underwater animals to make noises that sound like they came from humans. A Canadian airplane picked up the underwater noises on Tuesday, resulting in the search team focusing their operation on the area where the sounds came from. According to Frederick, there are five surface assets and two remotely operated vehicles searching for the submersible to Titan. Five more assets are respected to join the search in the next two days. The Coast Guard captain said that the search operation was still a 100% search and rescue mission added, that we need to have hope. According to the Coast Guard estimates, the five passengers reported the Titan have less than 24 hours of oxygen. Remaining. Rescue teams initially were searching an area roughly the size of Connecticut after the vessel went missing. In the last ditch effort, he came, uh, began Wednesday involving heavy machinery and submarines that involved the new Funland on Tuesday night. Now, according to, uh, according to, who is it, what is the fella I'm thinking of? Um, lemme see. I forget who had mentioned this. Let's see. All right. Yeah, that's who it was. It was according to Dan Crenshaw, the, the US Coast Guard has a very, very able bodied sub, uh, submarine that they could send down there with plenty more capabilities than they're willing to, and they decided not to. So that's unfortunate for these people. Um, but you know, like I talked about, I I, the underwater banging is, is, is interesting here. Now, obviously, it's probably most likely not the submarine, and it's probably something else potentially, as that person pointed out, sea creatures. But what I like to think is gonna end up as the result of this is, you know, how, how many times have we seen that aliens or U f O aircraft drop underneath the water surface? So maybe just maybe. You know, let's call back, go back to Project Bluebeam and say maybe our underwater friends that are dropping down from the sky are going to pick up this submarine and drop it just politely back onto the White House lawn and greet us and then have a hologram in the sky and then, you know, start their takeover. So maybe this is the intro to that. Probably not. Uh, anyways, let's move on. The Pentagon announced a accounting error, which provided an extra $6.2 billion for Ukraine. 6.2 billion and that's an accounting error, 6.2 billion. Could you imagine if you worked for a finance company and you messed up so bad that you gave somebody 6.2 billion extra? That's probably never happened ever in the history of finance. 6.2 billion. What type of accounting error could that have been and does anybody actually believe that it's an accounting error? Because I, I don't think there's probably a single person in the White House or the Pentagon that you could find that actually agrees with that statement. How stupid do you think the American people are that they, that you believe that we would believe you after all things that we've found out about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the White House, the military industrial complex with Ukraine, that this came from the result of, oops, press the wrong button. Darn it. Not another $6 billion. How, how dumb do you think the American people are that you can come up here and make a statement like that? Speaking of statements, let's go ahead and listen in. Oddly following up from, um, some announcements earlier this year, during the department's regular over of presidential drawdown authority for Ukraine, we discovered inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine in a significant number of cases, services used replacement costs rather than netbook value, thereby overestimating the value of the equipment drawn down from US stocks and provided to Ukraine. Once we discovered this misvaluation, the comptroller reissued guidance on March 31st, clarifying how to value equipment in line with the financial management regulation and D O D policy to ensure we use the most accurate of accounting methods. We have confirmed that for F Y 23, the final calculation is 3.6 billion, and for F y 22, it is 2.6 billion for a combined total of 6.2 billion. These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine. And while the d o d, while the d O D retains the authority to utilize the recaptured P D A, this has no bearing on appropriated U S A I or Ukraine P D a replenishment funding approved by Congress. Oh, okay. You just throw out a bunch of acronyms, so we don't know what you're saying, but I know what you're saying, lady. Could you imagine being her? It's like her first day and they just have to, they're like, okay, by the way, I, I know. Here's your notes. And but also we need to do to tell the American people that she, that we accidentally miscalculated $6.2 billion of their tax money and just sent it to Ukraine. What a, what an interesting first day that must have been for this woman. I'm sure it wasn't her first day, but you know, it's the first time I've seen her. Uh, anyways, this goes on to say, and this comes from DC dno. He says, insane Pentagon announces an overpayment of 6.2 billion to Ukrainian calls it an accounting error. How much do you want to bet? A good chunk of that accounting error landed in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs. Yep. Wow. All right. Now let's, let's talk about this because if you or I make a. Error on our tax returns resulting in, let's say, let's just use a, let's use a crazy number here. $60,000, $60,000 accounting error. That wouldn't be a small percentage fraction of what happened here. Let's just use 10,000, let's use 10,000 here. If you miscalculated your taxes by $10,000, the IRS, as we found out recently, can literally knock down your door with weapons drawn as they did to a gun store owner recently. But they make a $6.2 billion error and, you know, make it a one minute conversation in the press conference. At what point do, do we reclaim our tax system? Right? What I find to be the craziest thing, like the federal income tax, like when, when was the federal income tax created? Cause I believe it was like the fricking eighties or something. Might even be later than that. It says, in American, the first American income tax was imposed during the Civil War in 1861 with flat 3% tax on all incomes, over $800. Um, so not the eighties, but it wasn't officially enacted that we know it today until 1913 was when the federal income taxes, we know it now, was officially enacted. That was literally your great grandparents didn't have to deal with the federal income tax. And now you have people giving 40% of their income to the government, and they're misspending it on proxy wars so that Hunter Biden can smoke meth off of a stripper's butt cheek in dunes. Meanwhile, they'll kick down your door over $10,000 miscalculation on your taxes. The, the whole federal income tax thing is, you know, I, I cannot believe we're in a place now where they take such a large percentage of your money, and yet we have to sit here and listen to the nonsense that they talked to us about, where they take that tax money that they would've, you know, put you in jail if you didn't tell them about, and then send it to wherever this fictitional places where these, you know, billionaires in, in Ukraine could get their hands on it. Or, or even worse yet, the military industrial complex, uh, in organizations of the world. Now speaking of the people who own those, of the military industrial complex, you know, the, the Raytheons, the, uh, you know, basically the stark industries of 2023. Let's watch this video that comes from O'Keefe Media Group, uh, in James O'Keefe, where BlackRock employee, a BlackRock recruiter decides, uh, who decides people's fate says war is good for business in undercover business or undercover footage. Let's watch it. They don't wanna be in the news. They, they don't want people to talk about 'em. They don't wanna be anywhere on, on the radar. Why not I on film? But I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it. All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. You can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. I work for, uh, a company called BlackRock Meets Varley, a recruiter at BlackRock. Lemme tell you's not who is the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. And if you didn't just hear that, because he's speaking very low in a restaurant, he says, let me tell you, it's not who the president is. It's who's controlling the wallet of the president. This recruiter for BlackRock says it's, it's And who's that? The hedge funds, the banks. These guys campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your candidates. Obviously we have the system in place first. There's the Senate, so these guys, you got 10 grand you can buy. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I did to be done. Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? It doesn't matter if who lens you're So they're, they're my father. Here's Serge Varley. On how good war is for Black Rocks business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? Yeah. I mean, I, I do have thoughts. What, what am I, Ukraine is good for business, you know? Right. I'll give an example. Russia. Russia blows up Ukraine. US price of wheat's gonna go mad up. Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market. Mm-hmm. Prices of bread, of, you know, literally everything is goes up. Now, this is fantastic. If you're trading, volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is no good for, for business. It's exciting when, right. Rock rack manages 20 trillions. It's in comprehensive numbers. BlackRocks Varley says all of this is above a normal person's understanding. You're like a undercover reporter. This is, this is beyond them. The whole thing of like domination forum, a concept said you're like an undercover reporter. Yeah. No shit buddy. Yeah, and you're pretty smart for picking up on that and still talking this entire time. He said war is good for business and that BlackRock manages 20 trillion trillion dollars in assets. So interesting. Hi, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG News. Here we are with our latest story this time on BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset and investment managers, which owns significant shares of companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, meta Target, Proctor and Gamble, Comcast, cnn, Fox, and yes, Pfizer, just to name a few. At OMG, we do not shy away from exposing powerful companies, and we're not afraid of powerful people. So we decided to take a look for ourselves of the influence BlackRock has on our politics and the influence they have on our culture. So to do that, what better place to start a hidden camera investigator. I'm the person who, he funds people from other firms. So I would approach and be, Hey, this is a good reason why you should come for us, Serge tells us who really runs the world, how they do it, and just how much it costs to buy. People like politicians, let tell you, it's not the who's the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. It's, it's the, and who's that? The hedge funds cloth, the banks, these guys. And if you think of that, it's not really. The banks, the hedge funds, it's the people who own the banks and who own the hedge funds, who are sitting in the boardroom when they're having strategy discussions about how to rig the next election, allegedly, right? It's the people who are sitting there trying to figure out whether they're going to put pride stuff at the front of Target when they own it. It's the people who decide the, uh, you know, what is it? The c e I scores is now going to be the next way that a company gets funding, right? So it's not, it's not the entity. That's making these decisions. It's the people in the strategy meetings at these board rooms that are making these decisions. And, and the people at the strategy of those board rooms only sit there as long as the owners of these companies, the the highest up people within these companies, the, the families who started them, the, the head of those families, like the Rockefellers, like the, the Rothchilds, like the George Soros says, who determine the fate of humanity, who determine the fate of our country, who determine the fate of these wars. Because whether they wanna fund one side or the other, they're both gonna win, right? They're, they're still gonna make profits either way, just as he talked about. So whether they're, they're investing on wheat or they're shorting wheat when they know there's about to be an airstrike on a major wheat, uh, you know, silo. That determines the Ukrainian uh, economy, right? So you get, you get Raytheon or you get, you know what, whatever the, you know, military industrial complex is making strategic decisions or, or giving strategic advice to these companies, and also pumping them full of missiles. And then they make these decisions about where they're going to strike, and that causes changes in what happens to the economy, which they then short or, or invest in the stocks of each side making money knowing what's about to happen. So the longer that these wars go on, and the longer that they have a say in the strategy of these wars, the more profits they make. So when you figure it out from that perspective, and then you understand that that's what you're sending your sons or your daughter into when, when it comes to being in the military, uh, maybe it's time to second guess whether, you know, that's what's in their best interest, especially when they only generally go after, you know, lower income families. You know, literally, I, I can't tell you how crazy it is to have a, uh, recruiter. Come to a, uh, you know, a high school that you're at and, and put a pull up bar there. Like, you know, show me how tough you are and then throw a fucking t-shirt at you and then try to recruit you so you can go shoot some, you know, somebody with a different religion who was born in the different side of the world than you, uh, for them to make profits. Right? It's just so messed up. So let's see if there's anything else interesting in this, and then we'll wrap it up and move into our next topic. Campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your can. So how so all of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. How do they run the world? You acquire stuff, you diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your rest club is, is super low. Like imagine you've invested in, um, like 10 different industries from food to. To drinks to like technology. Right? One, one of them fails. It doesn't matter. You have nine others to back you up. Risk management is, is inherently just about everything. And in the finance space, it's all about, it's, it's, well, it's all about the money you make. You don't, you don't let it sit. Yeah. Like you keep using it over and over and just reinvest. Yeah. And exponential growth. And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control, yeah. You own a little bit of everything and a little bit of everything Gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. Obviously we have this system in place first. There's the senate and these guys, you got 10 grand, you can buy a, it doesn't matter who wins. They're still not, they're, they're my father. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I gonna do what needs to be done. Like yeah, of course. Why not? Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? The BlackRock recruiter also tells us about how the US government relies on BlackRock for their economic simulation, computational power, economic simulation. They need to understand the impact of something, right? They're gonna like raise the interest, for example. Mm-hmm. It's gonna create this cascade of various factors that aren't, they're not sure what's gonna do, basically, and just how freaking great the Ukraine war is for business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? All right. So it looks like he's just going over everything that they already showed in the first part of the video, but good on. O'Keefe Media Group, it's, it shames me to not be able to say Project Veritas cause those words have been slipping from my mouth for so long. Um, but good on James O'Keefe for pivoting from Project Veritas so quickly and then coming up with these amazing stories as well. Uh, so now let's go ahead and jump into the next portion of this discussion, which is going to be where we start to get a little deep, not quite as deep as the submarine just yet, but you'll see where this goes. Alright, so this says, disgraced former c n n producer sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Now, I don't know about you, but I am not surprised. All right, so let's go ahead. And see what this article has to say. And it says, former CNN producer John Griffin has been sentenced to 19 years in prison on Tuesday for committing child sex crimes in Vermont. John Griffin, 45 convinced, confessed to coercing a woman online to bringing her 19, her nine year old daughter to Ludlow, Vermont for illicit acts. Wow, that's horrible. The US Attorney's office for the District of Vermont charged Griffin with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful activity in 2021. However, Griffin entered entered into a plea agreement in December, and the government dropped two additional charges for enticing a minor after he confessed his crimes. Now, one thing to mention in a segue with that other portion of this is that BlackRock owns C Nnn and hired this man a criminal, you know, and also they own Target and every other one that's pushing, you know, uh, All of the pride materials and drag shows for children within their brands. A criminal complaint filed by the state, uh, of Nevada against a mother accused of pimping her nine year old daughter out to CNN Strong Griffin, and revealed that authorities arrested the mother in August, 2020 and CS Griffin's devices the following month. This means that law enforcement allegedly knew about Griffin's abuse for more than a year before arresting him. Court records reveal that Griffin paid the mother to fly with the girls from Nevada to Boston, where the girls said Griffin assaulted her. According to court documents, federal investigators seized computer storage, media devices, phones, cameras, micro SD cards, images, and video from Griffin on September 2nd. The in indictment alleged that Griffin lured a mother and her underage daughter to his home for the purposes of abuse in July, 2020. Man, I, I can't even read this whole thing. Geez. All right. So no surprises there that somebody from cnn, nonetheless, the one pushing pride, the one pu pushing the trans agenda, pushing sex changes in children, all of that is somehow or another in intertwined in into some shape or form of actively sexually assaulting minors. And what we find out too, as we go a little deeper into this ocean of information, is that the convicted CNN producer and former CNN's president's wife was connected to Epstein. So the same man that was the producer for CNN, who got 19 years in prison, just sentenced to him for sex crimes against children's wife was friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. And now you start to see where all these little spiderwebs come together. Now there's a picture here that was posted now, um, posted by an anonymous source on, uh, Twitter, but it has photos and it says, we found photos of Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein's co-conspirator, socializing with Jeff's zucker's wife, Karen Zucker. For context, Jeff Zucker is the current president of C Nnn. Now, this man doesn't seem to be, have been trafficking this child this same way, so he was involved in the same trafficking ring. And you wonder why C Nnn was not covering Epstein's trial or his murder properly. It's because the producer's wife was best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, and now he's finally being convicted on separate charges. But if they would just open the book and let us know who was actually a part of the sex trafficking ring of Epstein, maybe this would've happened. We would've found this out prior to this child getting assaulted. Maybe we would've found this out prior to all of the assaults that have happened since then, and they still won't release the documents. They still won't go after the Johns. They still won't go after the people that were in Epstein's book. They still will not release the flight logs so that you can actually find it out, and they still won't go after them legally. Why? Especially when almost in every account of Epstein people talk about him having videotapes and videos to blackmail these people. Now, what we come to find out later, as so many people have talked about prior, is that it's very likely. That Epstein was an asset of three letter agencies. Somewhere in the world could even be the United States. Some people seem to believe it was Maad. Some people seem to believe that he was a part of several. But the idea here is that Epstein was leveraging children and these type of sexual acts with all of the people that he's flown out to that island, including Bill Gates, whose wife left him for being associated with Jeff Jeffrey Epstein, the way that he was, including Steven Hawking, including Alec Baldwin, including Hil, uh Clinton, including almost every single person we know now to be true that has been convicted within Hollywood for assault on children. Or child pornography. How many of these assaults, how many of these children would've been saved from these acts if our institution, our government, these three letter agencies did their job and actually went after this list of people that they so clearly know were a part of this? And why would you not do that unless you were in some way, shape, or form involved? Right? And this kind of goes back to the John F. Kennedy, uh, assassination. Now, I'm not saying for certain that the CIA was the ones who decided to pull the trigger on this. Now it's very compelling that they might have been the ones to decide that. But what we do know 100% is that they at least covered some of their tracks. We do know that they dropped the, the magic bullet. Into the gurney. We do know that they, they placed people in positions to be able to cover up the tracks by, by having them go out with the coroners and have the autopsy done by somebody who was in their pocket. So whether he was a controlled asset of these three letter agencies, or whether they were just covering their tracks because they were somehow associated in the spiderweb of horrificness that was happening here, that's, that's yet to be told. But what we do know is there is some association with some type of entity, because they knew this about Jeffrey Epstein for the longest time, and how many children continued to be horrifically, horrifically assaulted, how many child child's lives were ruined, how many children were flown to an island while the ccia, the fbi, and all of these other organizations knew everything about it. So that leads us into our next conversation. Um, which was a comment off of that Reddit thread. Um, so here we go. It says, an overview of the blackmail running our world. And this speaks to the things that I was just talking about. It says, this post is an overview of the blackmail tactics used to control the most influential people in governments around the world. Obviously, I cannot cover everything in a single post, so as with my previous post, I highly encourage you to research further yourself. All sources and links are at the bottom of the post. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming MK Ultra slash Monarch is and how it works is again, necessary to understand much of this. My other posts are here. The world is run on blackmail, mind control and shame. There exists many collections of videotapes of high up people engaging in some of the worst sickest things imaginable. Now, to preempt this, I'm not condoning that all of this is true. I'm simply reading you something that I found online. Um, but there seems to be a lot of evidence and, and there seems to be a lot of people who seem, who, who agree with this position. Uh, so here's some of the information that people believe drugs, torture, pedophilia and murder are common themes to these videos. These tapes are in the hands of many different people, groups, and especially intelligence agencies. Honey trap operations are constantly being run to gather, compromising, and incriminating evidence on people of importance. Child slaves will be used to compromise people on video. Global leaders are often covertly, videotaped, doing perverted things with slaves sent to them by intelligence agencies, the Illuminati, Illuminati, or other groups. And this is then leveraged. Uh, one of the most repulsive things possible that you can do is many times filmed to ensure future compliance. Then he goes on, or she goes on in this, to quote many people discussing these things, uh, whether they were c i a, assets intelligence agencies that they worked for, um, or others, x m i six. Uh, and then they, he actually, or she actually names these people. But, uh, I don't want to get too into the weeds on these, but I'll read you a couple and, and hopefully the, the most important ones are at the top. This is back in 1966. Oh, let's see if this is where we wanna start. Back in 1966, Rothstein became the first police detective assigned to investigate the prostitution industry almost immediately, that he discovered an underground sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes. Human compromise is what he was labeled the honey trap process. Rothstein and his colleagues found that approximately 70% of the top US government leaders were compromised In this way, Rothstein said the CIA conducted the human compromise operation while the FBI was tasked with covering up any leaks. Wow. It says Fiona Barnett. Let's see if we can get a who that actually is for you guys. Uh, Fiona Barnett. She's in a documentary called Candy Girl. Let's see if we can watch a couple minutes of that. Let's get some context. Extraordinary claims coming out of Canberra tonight with a former Prime Minister allegedly on a list of suspected pedophiles liberal Senator Bill Heffernan, who is pushing for the child abuse Royal Commission to include the legal profession. Told an explosive Senate hearing. He has a police list of 28 prominent suspects. There's a former Prime Minister on this list and it is a police document. And now I'd like to introduce to you Fiona Barnett. That's B a r n e t, who is one of the bravest people you will ever have the privilege to meet. Throughout my childhood, I was a victim of Australia's v i p child sex trafficking ring. For example, I was prostituted to pedophile parties at Parliament House Canberra, and to an international leader at Fair Bain Military Airport. The people involved in this elite pedophile ring included high ranking politicians, police, and judiciary. From the late 1980s, I reported my abuse experiences to multiple healthcare professionals, not one of whom adhered to mandatory reporting requirements. I reported to New South Wales Police in 2008. I reported to the Royal Commission in 2012. I reported to operation of test in Canberra. I made formal witness statements to New South Wales Police and have agreed to do more. I've reported directly to the New South Wales and Federal Police Commissioners and to the New South Wales coroner. I have provided sufficient names, times, dates, and places for authorities to investigate. My experiences were hor horrific beyond words. I witnessed child abduction, torture, rape, murder, but. The way I've been treated for reporting the crimes I witnessed and experienced has been far worse than my original abuse experiences. Victims endure the most miserable childhoods. We then spend the rest of our lives paying for the crimes committed against us. Victims are constantly placed under excessive scrutiny. If we can't provide a precise time and date for something that happened 40 years ago, we are called liars. If we get emotional, we're labeled crazy. If we are vocal, we're just attention seekers. It's time to focus our attention away from victims and onto those responsible for the crimes against children. In the 2006 census, Australians identified child protection as their number one concern. Why then does our government continue to ignore the public's concern for children? Australia is a pedophile haven. Our laws are written, interpreted, and administered in a way that benefits pedophiles and silences victims of crime, teach pro pedophilia material, our health boards. Now, the man that she accused of being one of her abusers was Nicole Kidman's dad, who eventually fled to Singapore as a result of these accusations and was mysteriously dead. So that's an interesting piece of the puzzle that I just read. Wow. Crazy. I believe, uh, she wrote something called Eyes Wide. Sh No, that's not her. Okay. Uh, random book. Um, so. There's a big grab a hole there with her. Just, just her, you know, um, justice Scalia was mentioned under her name several times. Uh, several different things. So, so just to show you that there's validity in merit to the person that he is quoting here in just one of these, one of these subsections. So I, I, I didn't have any research on her or any of this prior to that, so, um, but just googling that name, you can find validity to it. And, and here we go. And we'll read some of the. Next parts of this here. Uh, but let's, let's read what, what she had to say about that. Um, and, and maybe I'll give a couple more reads of this. She said, one of the things that I found out over the last 10 years of studying governments and listening to intelligence and counterintelligence agencies is that those in government are sexually compromised and their sexual secrets are collected, and then they are promoted into governments and into ju judiciaries and into all the positions of importance. Pedophilia is the preferred dirt as it is easily photographed, easily presented in a range of media, immensely shameful, and the public demands your resignation. The next person quoted here is Greg Hallett. Paul Bacci, one of the victim witnesses. Of the Franklin Affair. Also clearly stated Larry King used him in blackmail operations in New York, in Washington. The latter was in connection with the activities of a close associate of Larry King Craig Spence, who was involved in the prostitution ring consisting of underage boys that were supplied to Washington's upper class, which went right up to the White House. Greg Hallett also said Bob Hope was politically connected and knew how to lure people in and ensure that they would work for him. He invited them to his parties and dangled various kinds of illegal and immoral perversions in their faces. Once their perversions were uncovered, he could blackmail or control them. That is how Bob worked. Bob was very good at this. I watched him do it to people over and over. He lured them in, detected their weaknesses, then used that knowledge in his favor for his connections, and ultimately for his personal gain. Uh, Bryce Taylor goes on to say, These blackmail practices are often used in conjunction with trauma-based mind control. This mind control is an integral component of and is deeply intertwined with child trafficking, sex slavery, satanic, ritual abuse, and many other horrific crimes. Many of the children used for the blackmail are programmed and many of these people being blackmailed, including sometimes future politicians, leaders, and presidents are also programmed themselves. Hmm. This is my personal belief based on my experiences, is that over the years, more leaders were undermined control. So what this is saying is that there's documented evidence consistently that there is being used blackmail and mind control techniques against high level politicians so that they can be manipulated for profit over time. Let's see if there's any of the other ones that we wanna mention here, cuz there's a ton, a ton. There's one from the Pegasus file. Um, I'll read this one and the next one and then we'll move on. It says, check out for the FBI records on Scarlet. What was his original hook that got him so deeply embedded with the UK Illuminati culture? He murdered the nanny of Lord Luan in the 1970s. Luen wasn't actually involved. Scarlet got it wrong. He was under mind control at the time. How we laughed on his training sessions when he heard that, not when he heard that one. Not funny. Really, we were all in the same boat. Each had something terrible attached to us in our past. That's all part and parcel of the Illuminati contract. Young people forced under mind control to commit murder when, when young and then later on picked up by British intelligence to be used and abused as they wished as loyal servants to the British Crown. One can only hope that by exposing these hooks that some sort of amnesty can prevail. If these people are freed from their demonic Illuminati contract, by exposing their hooks, one can only hope that they will come forward at a sizeable and influential body of political and public figures in order to put to an end here's hope. Check it out. Remington's Hook to see what sort of mind ran M 15 for so long, or I five. Um, for so long it's a game called Mafia and it is all about blackmail. Hmm. This is from an ex I six agent says he had previously signed off on Epstein's sweetheart deal because Epstein had belonged to intelligence. Acosta then serving as US Attorney. The Southern Florida had also been told by unspecific figures at the time that he needed to give Epstein a lenient sentence because of his links to intelligence. Wow. Now that same Fiona Barnett mentioned satanism quite a bit in some of her, uh, talks here. Um, but this just goes on and on and on and on of other documented conversations about this blackmail and mind control process. Now, if you don't know about. MK Ultra. You need to go back. I did a full episode on it and broke it all down. I think I've done actually two episodes on MK Ultra, which is a ccia a uh, a C I A operation, which was done. There's over like a hundred and something different ways that they were doing, conducting different scientific experiments, uh, during the Cold War and beyond to try and figure out how to conduct mind control on people. Um, and it was like almost between, I don't remember exactly, but it was like almost 35 to 40 years that they were conducting these type of experiments. And, and it's all public knowledge. You can actually go to the cia.gov website, to the archives and look up the documents on MK Ultra to figure out, and now you know how they're actually using it. Uh, so let's read the next part of this. If you want to find this article, um, I will link it in a sub email that I will send out, uh, tomorrow. Um, so Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. I will link this conspiracy red article, which is not very much traction. I wonder why, but has tons and tons of receipts of legitimate people who have made legitimate claims over time that is well documented about this blackmail process. Now, the next thing that he talks about here, or she, uh, says deep underground military base information. This post is an inter or is an overview of deep underground military bases, dumbs. As with my other posts, I highly encourage that you'll research further yourself. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming is and how it works is necessary to understanding much of this. See, my other posts. And we will be looking at those. Um, for information about the programming heavily referenced and related to this post, all citation sources and links are at the end of the section. These above top secret, deep level underground bases are used for trauma-based mind control, or monarch pro programming, experimental programming, genetic and other human experimentation. Military Illuminati, N W O Technology development and storage, including advanced weapons and advanced anti-gravity crafts, the highest level scientific and paranormal experiments, military abductions, black ops child, human trafficking, breeding programs, and other terrible things. There exists a huge network of mag Lev tube shuttle connections under the United States, which extends into a global system of tunnels and underground bases in cities. Many pictures of the machines used for digging are on this page. Let's click that link. I told you we were going deep Fellas told you we were going deep. Uh, so this is an article from, no, I can't read that far. Um, it shows these huge US Air Force drilling machineries that were used to drill these types of tunnels. Wow. I'm not gonna get into that, but just know that it's there. If you want it to go to it, to look at these machines, it comes from project camelot.org. And again, I'll link it in the ck. This one I'll need to do the sub stack cause of how much information we're going over. Um, it says they're basically whole cities underground. They are between 2.65 and 4.25 cubic me miles in size. They have laser drilling machines that can drill a tunnel seven miles long In one day, I was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at DOLs, which is probably the deepest base. It goes down seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. I helped Hollow Hollow out more than 13 deep underground military bases in the United States. That came from Phil Schneider. The next one comes, or from Phil Schneider says, I discovered that not only, so yeah, that one came from Phil Schneider. This next one comes from Fritz Springier says, I discovered that not only was our government focused on building deep secret cities, but the Illuminati families were also, furthermore, they were using technology that the public was unaware existed. The idea idea behind it was to create safe and secret place for themselves. Witnesses have described elevators going miles down super fast, trains, backup government agencies, genetic experiments, warehouses of stockpiled materials, and a non-human hybrid project. But what continues to haunt me was what they looked took from one eyewitness, which gave me, when he said, Fritz, you don't have a clue what is going on behind, beyond all of you have thought of. And after that, what is going on is beyond what all of you have thought of. And after that, there was a stone-faced mask on his face counter nets. I don't know what that means. Um, the next one comes from Phil Schneider, which says, these underground bases are funded by the black budget and non appropriated funds. Intelligence agencies run the global drug trade. Where's this money coming from? It's not from our regular Black Ops budget. It comes from an illegal sale of drugs. And we know that to be true because of the cocaine that the, the CIA and, and these agencies were selling in the eighties and the crack in the nineties. So we know that to be true 100%. There's already been articles about that, that the, the CIA was ab absolutely selling cocaine to fund these types of operations. So we know that to be true too. Says, where's this money coming from? It's not coming from regular Black Ops budget. Um, it's coming from the illegal sale of drugs in the United States. There's, at least by conservative estimates, a quarter of a trillion to a half a trillion of illegal drugs just sold in the United States. That goes directly into underground budgets. And 90 to 95% goes to these dumps. Black Ops budgets is a half trillion dollars per year, a quarter of the US Gross National product. Um, black budget is not monitored by Congress. It's an independent having body, but it's mainly financed by drug operations by the ccia NSA and the Drug Enforcement and Enforcement Administration. Also, the fbi. More recently an FBI man tried to tell me the public about this and was murdered in January of 95. Interesting. Uh, Phil Schneider goes on to say that much of this Black Ops drug money is being used to fund projects classified above top secret. These projects include the building and maintaining of deep level underground basis, such as the Chris Anton Crissan Anthem Underground Biogenetics facility in Doles, New Mexico. Pine Gap in Australia, Breen Beacons in Wales, snowy mountains in Australia. The Nyla range in Africa, west of Hindu in Africa, next to the Libyan border in Egypt to Mount Blanc and Switzerland, NVA and Scandinavia, Gotland Island, and Sweden. There are at least 1400 of these DBS worldwide, 131 in the US with two underground bases being built per year in the US at the moment. The average depths of these bases are of four and a quarter miles underground, some shallower and some deeper. These bases are on average, the size of a medium-sized city. Each D U M B cost between 17 and 26 billion to build, which is funded by MI six and ccia Drug money. A nuclear powered drill is used to dig underground. The drill goes through the rock at a tremendous rate and literally melts the rock away to form a smooth glass like surface around the edges of the tunnels. The next one comes from James Kasal, which says, project Mannequin was started in 1972 and is still being run from a six level underground facility beneath the small town of smore in Berkshire, A few miles from where I grew up. Also, the CLC one base, which, uh, whatever in London was connected to a large base in Parliament la, the underground facility below the Porten down bio warfare facility in Wilshire. This underground base is also so secret that the local residents of peace more are not even aware it exists. The NSA facility known for the intelligence circles as AL 4 99 bases located 200 feet below the village. There are entrances to the facility at Greenham Common, um, which is the Bravo entrance, which is now sealed off. Whitefield Military Science College, Harville Laboratories in Oxfordshire, so on and so forth. The underground base at Lambourne is the area 51 of the UK with many exotic anti-gravity aircraft stored there. Wow. All right. This goes on and on and on and on. This is a crazy, crazy idea. I have not heard about this yet. Next one. And then literally, there's so many of these, so many of these quotes and links in sources, uh, that, that this goes into. Um, and we're just scratching the surface, scratching the surface. Wow. Let's see if we can grab one of his links here. Wow. This links to something called the Illuminati formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave. Told you we're going deep. Wow. Let me look at this index here. Dear God. All right, so I'm not even gonna go into that, but like I said, I will link that. Uh, this is a book from Fritz Spring Meyer and Cisco Wheeler called The Illuminati Formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave, and it comes from whale to so many links, so many articles. So many little twisted tunnels that you could get into from this. Let's read one more. Uh, this, uh, comes from Veronica Swift, which says One thing that they do is very advanced, almost mind bogglingly advanced is genetic manipulation and crossbreeding of humans. We already know that to be true. It's the chimes that we've talked about, that China admitted to be experiment theon, and she mentions it. Here we go. Both Jesse and Cisco report that the Illuminati Brotherhood is secretly creating human animal hybrids called chimes. They're breeding humans with birds and other animals, as well as inserting DNA into humans that normally would belong only to a fish, for example. Dear Lord, Next one says, area 51, dreamland Groom Lake, Nevada Area 51 is also known as dreamland. There are a number of extensive underground facilities in the area. This is one of the first genetic research fili facilities in the us, perhaps the first major genetic research facility. The people's workers and victims are brought in by airplane and tube shuttle. The worst cases of U F O alien type of monarch programming are coming out of Area 51. The eggs from slaves are being harvested and weird genetic creatures are being developed from human eggs, which has been genetically mixed with other things. Ooh, we're going deep, hidden high atop the mountainside along going into the sun road at more than 6,600 elevation is the secret tunnel entrance for an extensive underground Nazi slash CIA facility in the above satellite image. The larger circle denotes the hidden rock facade entrance, and the smaller circle denotes the position of camouflage guards. The secret tunnel descends more than two miles to a giant, hollowed out industrial complex below the mountain. This huge underground city slash base connects to Montana to Canada, just north of the national border at the cleverly named International Peace Park. This underground base is where the CIA keeps its stolen Holocaust trillions and test its most secret new world order black projects, including Tesla's flying discs, opt optically, invisible aircraft, and other stolen Tesla technologies. Operations at the base include maintenance and deployment of stealth drones. Wow. It also says Glacier National Park was the first national park to have railroad access at the time, a necessity for all large scale underground, military, industrial construction. This enabled them to transport the rumored Nazi gold train of stolen Holocaust Loot from Uck. New York to a secret base located inside the mountain. On the pro, uh, prominently above the secret tunnel entrance, there is a strange looking outcropping of rocks that a certain times of day looks like a grizzly bear. Hence the name Grizzly Peak. The c i a uses a secret tunnel route to illegally smuggle drugs, guns, ss Nazi war criminals, and dignitaries into Canada without stopping at any border crossings. Good Lord, this just goes deeper and deeper and deeper. Wow. I'm gonna have to do a whole episode on this. Yeah. We'll have to do a whole episode on this. The next topic that we were supposed to go into is, The Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming. So I'll touch on this super briefly and then we're gonna have to wrap this up. But I will dive into these topics and come back to you guys with a, a full understanding, cuz I'm just finding this out with you. It says, A basic understanding of what trauma-based mind control is and how it works is absolutely necessary to understand this post. Um, it will not make sense otherwise. If you haven't read my other post, uh, first this is a follow up. This posts quite heavily on the character limit. Alison Wonderland is one of the two most commonly used mind control program scripts. The other is the Wizard of Oz. All mind control programming is a variation on a theme determined in part by the victim's own imagination and their set role in the cult. Hence, while Oz and Alice programming are uniformly employed, their application differs from every victim. Now again, it comes to Fiona Barnett, the person that we talked about earlier. Alice is the name given to every female MK Delta Child Soldier, hence the Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass programming. There are many variation used by different groups, but the basic concepts are the same. In alter personality or multiple. Who believes that they are Alice, a mirror world referred to as through the looking glass or the other side of the mirror. This is the fantasy world. This alter personality goes to or lives in, completely disassociated from the human extreme trauma. The Alice in Wonderland programming theme is used in air water programs and mirror programs, which the Illuminati, cia, nasa, Jesuit, and other like so. Well. The idea is that there exists a mirror world, which is a reversal. Along with it attached is the idea that the slave can enter into a timeless dimension of time. Or as some refer to it, interdimensional time travel going through the looking glass takes them to a world where the ordinary world is turned upside down and backwards. Uh, Fritz Spring Meyer says, using the movie programmers encourage slaves to go into over the rainbow, follow the yellow brick road, or follow the rabbit, and disassociate effectively separating their minds from their bodies the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass. To enter the strange world of wonder, slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach complete disassociation. In the fairytale, Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical, inverted, and unstable. A place similar to the slave's internal world where everything can be modified by the handler. Therefore, in mk symbolism Wonderland represents the state of mind of disassociation, mind control slave, the place where they escape the plane of trauma. The next person said, I had listened to. A queen at talk at length about such concepts before hypnotic talk of past, present, future set my mind in a spin that when combined with Alice in Wonderland, NASA mirror, world concepts C uh, created an illusion of timeless dimensions. I know that the only dimensions I experienced were elaborate memory compartmentalizations of real earthly events by real earthly criminals, and certainly not by aliens, Satan or demons. Wow. It goes on to talk about another one which says that, uh, The White Rabbit is a programming figure for Alice in Wonderland programming who will allow you to go otherwise inaccessible places for adventure. He represents the master. The white rabbit is an important figure to the slave. Fritz Springer says, Alice, uh, represents mind control in general. The meaning of is purposeful referenced in media, for example, the Matrix or Pet Goat two, which is symbolism. Uh, this page has collected a collection of celebrity monarch slave pictures referencing Alice Mind Control in popular media. It's everywhere. Interesting. I'm sure we can go down that rabbit hole, no pun intended. Wow. Hmm. Talks about, it shows Adam Lambert. It shows like it's just basically showing all of the symbolism within Hollywood, referencing the White Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland. It even shows a picture of Britney Spears wearing the rabbit years during a performance. His Cameron Diaz followed the white rabbit as well. Who knows? Maybe it's just a coincidence. So this is just all speculation, but it does show a fair amount of correlations between Hollywood figures and Alice in Wonderland, which to be fair, was a huge Hollywood hit, and maybe that's why and has absolutely nothing to do with CIA m i six, Illuminati Satanic mind control. And maybe these people are all crazy. That could be very well it, but that's a pretty big, pretty big amount of pictures and people, and when you say, uh, Bri Britney Spears, you go watch some Britney Spears videos, that's some of the wildest, weirdest things you'll ever see in your life. Uh, yeah. Interesting. Says the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass to enter a strange world of wonder. Slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach a complete disassociation. And the fairytale Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical. Right. We already talked about that, um, over the years. Uh, interesting. All right. I don't have the mental fortitude to continue going down this road because it seems to be pretty dark. Uh, but I, I will read it when I have the ability to do so and come back to you

If you notice any discrepancies in audio quality, please forgive us on this one. Marcelo created a makeshift Zoom setup while solo climbing Mount Blanc after weeks of prolonged fasting in order to take this interview, so he's coming at us from the highest campsite in Europe.

He founded Wisdom Accelerator to encourage the young and ambitious to connect with peer-aged role models and take their wisdom to the next level. ("Doing the right thing at the right time").But for the sake of this episode, being published in January and certainly on time to catch a lot of New Year's Resolutions during this challenging time of home confinement, we focus on Marcelo's physical transformation through fasting. Just wait until you see what the human body can handle, and just how healthy it is to not eat for a while, every once in a while.More importantly, it's clear that the limitations we place on ourselves when we lack supposed necessities are far overblown.Listen as we discuss:Marcelo's decision to take control of his health after reaching borderline obesityThe 7-day fast that kickstarted it allHis goal to go from obese to looking like Aquaman during quarantine (I wish!)His 50 day stretch without any food, any vitamins, any minerals, 0 calories...His blood test results after extended fasting periodsWhat's he doing climbing Mont Blanc and talking to me?How he lost 40% of his body mass!A recommendation: most healthy people should fast for 7 days, 4 times a yearIs physical performance affected during fasting?Should we really make role models of those who ignore their health?His NGO, Wisdom Accelerator, and its effect on youth seeking relatable role modelsThe grit and the willpower are even more satisfying rewards than the weight lossIt's okay not to eat sugar because you have plenty of fat.So many of our limitations are simply fabricated.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Marcelo Garcia on Facebook @garcia.marcelo and his website, broadlights.orgDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.

Charley Radcliffe grew up in London with a family who loved to travel frequently. But it wasn't until he was in university, that he began having the urge to not just visit places, but explore them extensively. For Charley, that came through living somewhere and learning the language. He lived in San Sebastian, in the north of Spain for a few years before moving back to London. He then discovered CLIMBING & ALPINISM. Naturally, the love for the mountains and the lifestyle that comes along with it, brought him to Chamonix, France, a town on the foot of the French Alps. The mountains of Chamonix caught his heart and soul. Six years ago, Charley moved to Chamonix full time to continue to pursue his love for the outdoors and the climb.

Through its groundbreaking Heartstyles Indicator—an academically validated tool that measures a person’s character and behaviors—they build a Personal Development Guide, outlining the steps someone needs to take and optimize good behaviors to realize their goals. This transformative tool—now available in 25 languages—has positively impacted over 100,000 individuals around the world, from Russia to China and Romania to India, through different cultures, economies, and belief systems.

Have you ever regretted how you handled something, even though you knew what the proper response should have been? Have you ever had trouble getting through to someone, or felt misunderstood yourself?” In their pioneering book, released on January 7 of this year by HarperBusiness, Stephen & Mara Klemich detail the radical new approach they created to identifying what drives human behavior—why we do the things we do—and they have harnessed those principles into a new and unique approach geared towards steering away from self-limiting fear and ego-driven behaviors that hold us back, thus unlocking our true potential. In ABOVE THE LINE: Living and Leading with Heart, they examine how the heart shapes our character, and they have identified four universal character principles—humility, love, pride and fear—which drive human behavior. For 30 years, Stephen and Mara have studied, coached, practiced and researched these four universal principles with the goal of helping people find the best versions of themselves in both their personal and professional life. The centerpiece of their approach is the Heartstyles Indicator that acts as a compass for life, steering us towards making better decisions using the above-the-line principles, while steering clear of undesirable, below-the-line behaviors: Join Dustin, Stephen & Mara for a candid conversation on the behaviors that shape our everyday thinking and lives, and on their own personal journeys. “Every book on successful habits will tell you that we always have a choice in how we react or respond,” say Stephen & Mara. “We believe, though, that until you recognize why you do what you do, how the heart and the brain work together to shape your behavior, it will be hard to choose differently… and hope that our book will guide you through understanding the “why” and help point you toward discovering the answers to your own unique questions.”

Today on the show I have Hillary Allen, a professional trail ultarunner, speaker, and author. Hillary grew up always thinking she would be an academic, following in her father's footsteps by pursuing a PhD in a scientific discipline and settling in to life as a college professor. That all changed when in graduate school, Hillary discovered trail running as a way to relieve stress and in turn found the thing that brings her most alive and would shape the rest of her life. Shortly thereafter, a friend talked her into doing her first race where she not only won, but set a course record. Since then, she has gone on to become a world champion and one of the most accomplished high altitude trial runners of all time.  As a collegiate tennis player and clearly a natural athlete it might seem at first glance that Hillary is simply athletically gifted, and while that may be true, we uncovered a much more tangible and accessible lesson behind her success: A lot of grit, determination, and really hard work. There's no better testament to Hillary's character than her attitude towards a major setback to her career,  a set back that almost cost her her life.

Imagine being within striking distance of your lifelong dream, only to come to a fork in the road. Continue onward but in doing so, put others lives in danger, or turn back and potentially never have another shot at fulfilling your dream.What would you do? How would you respond? Ethical decision making under duress is a fascinating process.I don’t know anyone that says, “I’m a bad human being. I’m a terrible human being and I do bad things. But some people put up an armor, a shield of denial, when there is a something at stake they badly want. When there is money, effort, years of commitment on the line, the moral compass can become clouded.This conversation with mountaineer and Trinity College field hockey and lacrosse coach Anne Parmenter touches on just that, and more!Anne has a unique perspective – she’s been in the trenches summiting the World’s greatest mountains and has also coached for over 20 years.Anne has climbed Aconcagua in Argentina, Denali, Chimborazo in Equador, Mount Blanc in the French Alps, and two expeditions to Mount Everest.

On the Mountain of the Lord It Will Be Provided (Audio)

Andy Davis preaches an expository sermon on Genesis 22 on how God offers sacrificial provision for his people. - SERMON TRANSCRIPT - Introduction We are looking for a fifth and final time this morning at Genesis 22. The first two sermons focused, on the human side, on Abraham and what it was like for him to offer his son Isaac in faith as a burnt offering. The next two focused on fourteen type prophecies that are fulfilled in the sacrifice in Genesis 22. Today we will look at one more type prophecy, specifically the place of the offering, and trace it across Scripture to see how “on the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” Thanksgiving is one of my favorite celebrations of the year. In December of 1620, the pilgrims came to cold Cape Cod. When they landed after a difficult voyage, they immediately got on their knees and gave thanks for God’s good provision in getting them there safely. They saw everything as coming to them from the hand of God. They were always looking for providence, for provision. But it was a very difficult experience. The harshness of the following winter almost destroyed their colony. Sickness ravaged them that winter. By the beginning of spring in 1621, half of their 102 members had perished. Of the 17 male heads of families, 10 died during the first infection. Of the 17 wives, only three were left after three months. Governor William Bradford wrote that the living were scarce able to bury the dead. At any given point, only six or seven people were healthy enough to do all the work of caring for the others, fetching firewood, cooking, washing “loathsome clothes” by hand. These heroes, he said, did “all the homely and necessary offices for [the sick] which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named, and all this willingly and cheerfully, without grudging in the least.” Can you imagine the difficulties of making it through that first winter. The turning point for the colony began one Thursday, in the middle of March 1621, when they met an Indian named Tisquantum, also known as Squanto. Squanto was, they believed, a special instrument of God for their good beyond their expectation. He had found his reason for living: these English were helpless in the ways of the wilderness and would not have survived without him. Squanto taught them how to catch eels — apparently they were very sweet for those who liked that kind of thing — how to stalk deer, how to plant pumpkins, how to refine maple syrup, how to discern both edible herbs and those that are good for medicine. Perhaps the most important thing he did was teach them the native way of planting corn. They would put five kernels in a small shallow pit with three fish in a star-like pattern with the heads pointing in toward the kernels. They needed to guard the fields all the time, 24 hours a day, from the wolves who would try to dig up the fish. As a result, they ended up with 20 full acres of corn, which saved their lives the next winter. Squanto also taught them how to exploit the pelts of the beaver, which was in plentiful supply and in great demand throughout Europe. He taught them not only how to hunt them and prepare them, but also what were the best prices and how not to get taken for a ride by the traders. The pilgrims rightly ascribed their health and their prosperity at the human level to Squanto, but ultimately as Bible-believing Christians, they ascribed it to Providence. They believed in the providence of God. They believed that the Bible teaches that God rules over all things, and that everything we have comes from his hand. They were not getting together at Thanksgiving to thank the native Americans. Though they were no doubt grateful, they were there to thank God because they believed in the doctrine of Providence. "On the mountain of the Lord, there has been full provision for sin." As great as was the providence of God to them that first year and through the second winter, how much greater was the providence of God at Mount Moriah for them? On the mountain of the Lord, it has been provided. I get the joyful news of proclaiming that today. What better thing can there be than that? On the mountain of the Lord, there has been full provision for sin. Today’s sermon is a story of providence, a story that those first pilgrims would have enjoyed hearing, a story of God’s full provision for sin. I. Abraham’s Walk by Faith Original Call from Ur The story begins with Abraham’s walk by faith, in which he was told, in effect, “Go to the land I will show you.” The whole thing began for Abraham in Genesis 12:1: “The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.” It says in Hebrews 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” So it was also in this case. God called Abraham to go to a place he would show him, to follow by faith. God’s Command Genesis 22:1-2 says, “Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, ‘Abraham!’ ‘Here I am,’ he replied. Then God said, ‘Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.’” The general region was chosen and selected by God, designated by him, but God also had a specific mountain that he had picked out, and it would be on that mountain that Isaac was to be sacrificed. The Place Is Prominent In the account, the place is prominent and very important. It is mentioned eight times in this account. Verse 2: “…go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” Verse 3, after preparations were made: “…he set out for the place that God had told him about.” Verse 4:“On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.” Verse 5: “He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there.” After the conversation about who will provide the lamb, in verses 8-9: “Abraham answered, ‘God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ And the two of them went on together. When they reached the place God had told him about…” Verse 14: “So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.’” This is a striking and intense focus on this place. Scripture also indicates that God communicated to Abraham about the place as he went along: “…go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” Evidently God revealed some things to Abraham so that when he reached the foot of the mountain, he knew that that was the place, because God had told him. The sacred mountain was named the Mountain of the Lord, given before the encounter. But by the end, Abraham gave it a more complete name: Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide. II. The Key Lesson Question and Reply The whole Old Testament can be summed up in a central question, found in verse 7: “Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, … ‘The fire and wood are here,’ Isaac said, ‘but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?’” Animal sacrifice was nothing more than a symbol. While waiting for fulfillment, the Old Testament question was always, “Where is the lamb for the sacrifice?” The central New Testament answer was given by John the Baptist: “Behold the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.” This is the provision that is provided on the mountain of the Lord. Isaac asked the question, where is the lamb? Verse 8 (NIV) says, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’” The NIV is the only version that translates it that way literally in the Hebrew. The ESV translates well: “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” There is a subtle difference. In effect, only God can atone or provide an atonement himself. He is the only one who can turn his own wrath away. No other created being could come up with an offering that could do it. God must, to use the technical theological term, propitiate himself. He must turn his own wrath away, and that is exactly what Abraham says: “God will provide for himself the lamb; no human offering can do it.” The Meaning of the Word “Provide” Let's look at this word provide. It says “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” The simple meaning in English of the word “provide” is to make something available to meet a need. For example, the host provided his guests with water and towels so they could wash for the meal. In other words, he provided or gave them what they needed to meet the need. But the literal English meaning of the word provide comes from the Latin means pro — “before” — and videre — “to see”; to see ahead of time. The host, knowing, or seeing, that his guests would need to wash up after their difficult journey, provided water and towels. The literal Hebrew verb in this verse means “God will see for himself the lamb for the burnt offering.” How? God’s vision transcends his history. He sees the end from the beginning. This message will make no sense if God has no accurate and perfect foreknowledge of the future, but he does. It is not an accident that God’s provisions at Mount Moriah — the ram in the thicket, Solomon’s temple, and Christ’s cross and empty tomb — line up. God had chosen a place; he had seen the place ahead of time, before the foundation of the world. God was seeing Christ before Abraham and Isaac began their journey to Moriah. God was seeing Christ before Abraham and Isaac were born. God was seeing Christ before the world began. From eternity past, God saw the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God will see the lamb for himself, my son. Behold the lamb. III. The First Provision The first provision at Mount Moriah was the ram in the thicket caught by its horns. It was provided by God. It would not do it all to send Abraham home with no sacrifice having been offered. That would have sent the wrong message. The right message is “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Isaac was a sinner. He needed a substitute. The right message is also, “The wages of sin is death” If Isaac won't die, something must die; there must be a substitute. The ram in the thicket was God’s provision for that. In order for a sinner to approach the thrice Holy God, there must be a blood penalty paid, as Hebrews 9:22 says: “... without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” Either Isaac would die for his own sins or there would be some substitute, some provision. The ram in the thicket is clearly a substitute for Isaac. Genesis 22:13 says, “Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.” The ram took the place of the son. The Key Lesson: “On the Mountain of the Lord It Will Be Provided” Verse 14 gives the key lesson: “So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.’” Abraham’s name for the sacred place was Jehovah Jireh, which could be read, “The Lord will see to it.” He will see what needs to be done and he will provide. This was the proverb. What was to be provided on the mountain of the Lord? A substitute for sins. IV. The Second Provision Holy Ground The second provision happened in the unfolding of redemptive history. Abraham’s descendants were enslaved in a country not their own for 400 years. Just as God had told Abraham it would happen, so it happened in Genesis 15. In Abraham’s time, there was a pattern of holy ground. Abraham built altars as he would pilgrim through the promised land. Genesis 13:18 says, “So Abram moved his tents and went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.” That is holy ground, where he would set up an altar and go regularly to worship. We see the same with Jacob when he made his journey to find his wife. As he was traveling, he stopped for the night and had a dream. In the dream, he saw a staircase extending from earth to Heaven, and from Heaven to earth, with angels ascending and descending on it. Genesis 28:16-17 says, “When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.’ He was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.’” He set up a pillar and poured oil on it. It was a commemoration that it was a holy place. Again, on Mount Sinai in the account of the burning bush, the angel of the Lord said to Moses in Exodus 3:5: “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” The Long Journey of God After God brought his people out of Egypt, took them through the Red Sea, and destroyed Pharaoh and his army, He led them to Sinai and gave them the law, including provision for worship. One of the provisions for worship was the tabernacle. A tabernacle is a tent. A tent is portable. In the tent, God ordained the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies, which was to contain the golden Ark of the Covenant. On the top of the Ark were cherubim. There the blood of the sacrifice was be poured. Above the Ark, God said, he would meet with the people on the basis of the blood that was poured out. So because the tabernacle moved, God was taking the journey (much longer than if they had simply obeyed in the first place) through the wilderness with his people. The pillars of cloud and fire also indicated that God was moving from place to place. As he went, he spoke to the people through Moses. The One Place of Worship In Deuteronomy, God said the traveling would stop when they entered the Promised Land, and there they would worship at the place where God would choose. Deuteronomy 12:4-6 says, “You must not worship the LORD your God in their way. But you are to seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go; there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.” Throughout the book of Deuteronomy, this is a major theme. God commanded that three times a year, all of the Israelite males were to appear at that one place that God would choose from among the tribes, and there they would offer their sacrifices. In the time of Joshua, they conquered the land. In time, God selected the place, which was Jerusalem, the city of David. Jerusalem was a city of the Jebusite people, and it was tough to conquer. It was a citadel, a mountain fortress. The Jebusites mocked, “Even the lame and blind could defend against David,” but David was able to take it. He took the fortress, the City of Zion, and made it his own, his capital. David’s Heart Once David was established there, he built a beautiful, aromatic palace of cedar, but his heart was to build a house for the Lord. In 2 Samuel 7:2, “…he said to Nathan the prophet, ‘Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.’” He did not think that was right. He wanted to bring the Lord to Jerusalem, and he wanted to build a house, a permanent dwelling place, for the Lord, a resting place where the people of God could come with their offerings. Nathan, the prophet, initially says in 2 Samuel 7:3, “Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you.” But God had different plans and spoke through Nathan again shortly thereafter. God told Nathan to tell David that he would not be the one to build a house for him. God had not asked for a palace of cedar. Instead, God would raise up David’s son, and he would be the one to build a house for God. There is a double meaning — the immediate fulfillment was Solomon, David’s biological son, who literally built the temple, a physical structure, the house of the Lord; but it is Jesus, the ultimate son of David, who builds the eternal house. And we are his house. Hebrews says, “We, believers are like living stones. And he is building his house and he has been building it for all this time.” God told David it would be his son who would build it. The question is, where should it be built? David’s Sin Eventually, David sinned greatly against the Lord. He decided to conduct a sinful census to number the fighting men, to find out how much military strength he had. “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” [Psalm 20:7] David was not trusting that at that moment. It does not say directly why it was sinful, but it was, and Joab knew it was sinful. But David overruled Joab, his commander, and ordered him to count them. So Joab counted the military men. Then God was greatly displeased with David. God was determined to punish David for the sinful census. He gave him one of three options — three years of famine, three months of fleeing from before your enemies, or three days of the sword of the Lord, a plague, with the angel of the Lord ravaging every part of Israel. David was in anguish — because of his sin other people would die — but he chose the third option. He said, “Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great.” 70,000 people died because of David’s sin. As heads of houses, pastors, leaders of countries, we must keep in mind that we may not directly suffers for our sin. Sometimes the punishment gets poured out on those we are responsible for. 1 Chronicles 21:15-18, 21:26-22:1 tells of the end of that plague: “And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, ‘Enough! Withdraw your hand.’ The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown. David said to God, ‘Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? O LORD my God, let your hand fall upon me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.’ Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. ... David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. Then the LORD spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath. At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. The tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon. But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD. Then David said, ‘The house of the LORD God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel.’” The temple was to be built on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, where God had answered him with fire from heaven, and the plague had ended. Where was the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite? 2 Chronicles 3:1 says, “Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah…” This is why I am an inerrantist. I can base a whole sermon on one verse, 2 Chronicles 3:1. In one verse, it says that the temple was built on Mount Moriah on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. That was the location of the temple, God’s second provision on the mountain of the Lord. What was provided? A semi-permanent dwelling place for the house of God, where lasting animal sacrifices could be offered, including the passover sacrifice. In the sanctuary, this magnificent temple of Solomon, the Holy of Holies was built out of gold. 2 Chronicles 3:8-9 says, “He built the Most Holy Place, its length corresponding to the width of the temple — twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents {That is, about 23 tons (about 21 metric tons)} of fine gold. The gold nails weighed fifty shekels. He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.” The Holy of Holies of Solomon’s temple was built with golden nails, but that was not the true holy of holies. God had ordained that the physical temple would be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonians. The true holy of holies was built with iron nails, Roman nails, because of Christ’s body and the blood he shed there. That is the true Holy of Holies. That is the true sacrifice. Solomon’s Prayer Solomon prayed the prayer of dedication concerning the temple and the Holy of Holies. In 2 Chronicles 6:41-7:2, he said, “Now arise, O LORD God, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might.” This was symbolic: God was going to come rest, so the glory cloud of God filled the temple that day, — a visible representation of the presence of God. God had stopped his journey and come into his resting place symbolically. God’s Lasting But Temporary Provision This was God’s lasting but temporary provision at Mount Moriah. There on Mount Moriah, God came to dwell in symbolic form, and there the Jews were to arrange themselves three times a year to offer their burn offerings. There on Mount Moriah, on the mountain of the Lord, God provided animal sacrifice, a temporary and symbolic provision. At Solomon’s temple on Mount Moriah, the mountain of the Lord, day after day, the priest stood and performed their ministry; day after day, they offered animal sacrifice. Leviticus 17:11 says, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.” However, Hebrews 10:3-4 says, “…those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” Bulls and goats do not equal the value of a human being, and so therefore their blood is no permanent and final provision for sin. And so Isaac’s question still stands. Where is the lamb? Year after year, these priests offered their sacrifices, and it was just an annual reminder of wickedness and sinfulness. Where is the lamb? V. The Final Provision Christ’s Purpose The Lord’s final provision of Mount Moriah was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world — Jesus, his own Son. Christ came into the world to die. That was not his only purpose, but it was his central purpose. He came to atone for sin. Hebrews 10:5-7 says, “…when Christ came into the world, he said: ‘Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, “Here I am — it is written about me in the scroll — I have come to do your will, O God.”’” God provided a human body for Jesus — the incarnation — which He lay down as an atoning sacrifice. His blood was necessary for the forgiveness of our sins. "The Lord’s final provision of Mount Moriah was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world — Jesus, his own Son." What was the will of God for Christ’s body? John 10:17-18 says, “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life — only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” Jesus was saying he had the power to die whenever he chose, and the power to live again whenever he chose he had a command from the Father to lay down his life. And so he would. Matthew 20:28 says, “…the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” God’s Chosen Place Was the place of Jesus's sacrifice also determined and written? Mark 10:32-34 says, “They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. ‘We are going up to Jerusalem,’ he said, ‘and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.’” Jesus had to die in Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 says, “As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.” That was the finish line of his earthly physical ministry, to die in Jerusalem. The time of Jesus’ death was set by prophecy — he would die at the time of the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb, since he was the passover lamb. The circumstances of his death were set by prophecy — he would die having been betrayed by a close friend for 30 pieces of silver and rejected by his own people. The manner of his death was set by prophecy — he would be pierced for our transgressions and lifted up like a bronze serpent, like Moses lifted up the bronze serpent on the stake. Do you think that God ordained the time, circumstances and manner of Christ’s death but left out the place? No. Jesus would die on Mount Moriah. Genesis 22:14 says, “to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.’” Where was Christ sacrificed? He was sacrificed at Golgotha. The word Golgotha simply means “the place of the skull,” (Matthew 27:33), but Golgotha was still in Jerusalem proper. It was still on Mount Moriah. Revelation 11:8 says, “[The two witnesses’] bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.” Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. Speaking of the sign written in three languages that Pilate had put on the cross that said, “Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews,” John 19:20 says, “…the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city…” Hebrews 13:12 says, “Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.” Mount Moriah is a complex of mountains, like a ridge, so Jerusalem, the city is built on one section of it, but just outside the gate is where Jesus was crucified. The Roman soldiers would not have made a man who was to be crucified walk 10 or 15 miles. They would bring him just outside the city gate and crucify him as a warning to the people in the city. All of these signs point to God’s eternal provision. Jesus Christ was sacrificed for our sins. Why does God do so much precision of time and manner and mode and place? So that you may be saved. So that people to the ends of the Earth can hear the story and marvel at the complexity of the threads that are woven together in this Gospel. It is beyond human ken. We cannot put something like this together. The quality is too high. Jesus did many miracles, not just one. And Jesus fulfilled many prophecies, not just one. All Signs Point to God’s Eternal Provision: Jesus Christ, Sacrificed for Our Sins Genesis 22:14 says, “…to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.’” The greatest joy of my life is to tell you that on the mountain of the Lord, it has been provided. Jesus said “It is finished.” A full provision of sin was made when Jesus shed his blood, but that is not all — God did not leave Jesus dead on Mount Moriah. We still have some work to do — he must be raised from the dead. On the mountain of the Lord, a full provision must be made. VI. The Rich Banquet Isaiah’s Second Prophecy of the Mountain These verses in Isaiah are so important to what I am presenting that they are printed in your bulletin. Isaiah 25:6-9 is the second significant prophecy concerning the mountain of the Lord. There are many more than that, but we will focus on the second one first: “On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine — the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, ‘Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.’” Twice it says, “On this mountain.” On what mountain? In context, it can be none other than the mountain of the Lord’s temple, using Isaiah’s language — it is Jerusalem, God’s holy hill, Mount Zion. What will happen on this mountain? The Lord Almighty will spread a feast of rich food for all his people, with the highest quality food and drink. Isaiah was a visionary prophet. If you close your eyes and listen, you see images, but his images are spiritual. There is always a physical side to them, but he was using spiritual language — physical language to talk about a spiritual feast. What is this rich feast, this banquet that he will spread? It is none other than the destruction of death. He will destroy the shroud that covers all nations, the sheet that enfolds all peoples. He will swallow up death forever. Where will he do it? On this mountain, Mount Moriah, Jesus Christ destroyed death forever by his crucifixion, but if he had not been raised from the dead on the third day, we could not say that death was destroyed. We need a resurrection. On this mountain also Jesus destroyed death forever by his resurrection. Where was Jesus buried? On Mount Moriah. John 19:41-42 says, “At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.” Right there on Mount Moriah, he was buried, and therefore Isaiah 25:7-8 was fulfilled, because on that mountain, Jesus destroyed death forever by his resurrection from the dead. Isaiah’s First and Last Prophecies of the Mountain The first mention in Isaiah of the mountain of the Lord’s temple is in Isaiah 2. Here is where it gets final and complete, and the Gospel extends. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, Mount Blanc the highest mountain in Europe, Mount McKinley the highest in North America. There are many mountains that are taller than Mount Moriah, but Mount Moriah is the chief among the mountains on earth. Isaiah 2:1-3 says, “This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” What does Isaiah see concerning Judah and Jerusalem? At a certain point, the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established and all nations — the Gentiles — will go streaming to it. You may wonder why, then, isn’t there a pilgrimage like there is to Mecca? Jesus covered that in John 4: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you worship the Father, neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” We do need to make a physical pilgrimage to Jerusalem, to Mount Moriah, because God is spirit. Because Jesus physically died and was raised from the dead, we can worship him right here in Durham, North Carolina. Amen. We do not need to physically go to any mountain, but still there is a streaming of the nations. People go there spiritually in their hearts and minds, understanding that the most important thing that has ever happened to them happened 2000 years before they were born. 2000 years before we were born, Jesus died on the cross. In my heart, I am at Mount Moriah, where it was provided for me. It is my only hope on the mountain, the Lord has provided for me, a sinner. The final mention in Isaiah of the mountain, the Lord’s temple, is in Isaiah 66:19-20: “I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.” They are all moving. Where are they going? They are going to the mountain of the Lord’s temple. Are they going there physically? We already answered that. Jesus said we do not need to go anywhere physically. But they are streaming there. This is the advance of the Gospel, beginning in Jerusalem, moving to the ends of the earth. Isaiah saw it. They are all going to the mountain of the Lord’s temple. Why? Because on the mountain of the Lord, it has been provided. That feast mentioned in Isaiah 25, that banquet of rich foods, is provision from the Lord. Isaiah 55:1-2 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.” VII. Review God specified a specific place for Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. He said, “Go to the place I will show you” — Mount Moriah — and he led him right to it. That is the place Abraham designated as the mountain of the Lord, and he coined a phrase, a proverb saying, “On the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided.” Before Israel entered the Promised Land, God told Israel through Moses in the book of Deuteronomy, you must not worship under any spreading tree or anywhere you want, but you must go to the place I choose, and there you must worship. Where was it? It was on Mount Moriah, where God ended the plague during the time of David’s sinful census, and where Solomon built the temple. But that was only God’s second provision on Mount Moriah, the temple of the Lord. He was still asking Isaac’s question, where is the lamb? And then John the Baptist points to him and says, “Behold the Lamb, see him, look at him, behold the Lamb” — he is God’s final provision of Mount Moriah. Jesus had to journey back to Mount Moriah, just like Abraham and Isaac did. He went there to die. What Abraham was asked to do, God the father did — he literally died, and he was raised from the dead on the third day. That is God’s final provision. And now survivors, messengers, are going out to the ends of the earth, to the coast lands and the distant islands who have not heard of God’s fame or seen his glory, and they are proclaiming that on the mountain of the Lord, it has been provided. Come and eat. The feast is spread. Come to the table, sit down and eat. VIII. Applications Trust in Christ and Thank Him for His Provision If you are not a believer, I invite you to come sit down and eat by faith. Trust in Jesus Christ to be your atoning sacrifice for sin. There is no other. Those who are wavering concerning the Word of God, waver no longer. Who could ever have put something like this together? It is too intricate, too perfect. This is the word of God, not merely the word of man. Lose forever any doubt about a single verse in the Bible — like the lynch pin verse, 2 Chronicles 3:1, that the temple was built on Mount Moriah. Do not doubt the Word of God anymore. This week, when you are thanking him for provision and family and all of God’s good gifts — for every good and perfect gift comes down from above — thank him more than anything for this provision for your sin.
