    Welcome to Day 2731 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Divine Council Worldview and the Nations: A Biblical Perspective Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2731 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2731 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com  . Today's lesson is titled The Divine Council Worldview and the Nations:  A Biblical Perspective.    The Divine Council Worldview, championed by scholars like Dr. Michael Heiser, offers a fascinating lens through which to interpret the biblical narrative. This worldview posits that Yahweh, the God of Israel, presides over a council of lesser divine beings who were assigned to govern the nations. This podcast explores the key aspects of how this worldview explains the relationship between the divine council and the nations.    The Disinheritance of the Nations    A pivotal moment in the Divine Council Worldview is the incident of the Tower of Babel, described in Genesis Eleven verses one through nine. Humanity's attempt to build a tower reaching the heavens was seen as an act of rebellion against Yahweh. In response, Yahweh confused their language, causing them to scatter across the earth. According to this worldview, this event led to the disinheritance of the nations, as articulated in Deuteronomy thirty-two verse eight and nine.   The passage suggests that the Most High divided the nations and assigned them to be governed by lesser divine beings, while retaining Israel as His own portion.    “When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court.[a]  “For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession. ” (Deuteronomy thirty-two, verses eight and nine) Psalm 82: Judgment of the Gods    Psalm eighty-two is a critical text for understanding the Divine Council Worldview. In this Psalm, Yahweh stands in the divine assembly and judges the ‘gods' for their failure to administer justice and righteousness among the nations. These divine beings are condemned for their negligence and are warned of their eventual demise.    God presides over heaven's court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:  “How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked?    I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.  But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.'”    (Psalm...

Tom is still reeling from Scotland's narrow defeat by New Zealand, calling it the greatest missed opportunity in Scottish rugby history. But can they respond against the dangerous Pumas? After losing to Argentina in Steve Tandy's first match in charge, Wales now host Japan in a must-win game, with Gareth not even prepared to countenance a Welsh defeat. We also tackle the latest rugby jargon and ask whether England's stacked bench will make the difference against the All Blacks.

    Pourquoi la mer Caspienne n'est-elle ni un lac ni une mer ?

    La mer Caspienne est un cas unique au monde : immense étendue d'eau fermée, elle est qualifiée de mer par son nom, mais de lac par sa géographie. Pourtant, d'un point de vue juridique international, elle n'est ni tout à fait l'un ni l'autre.Située entre la Russie, le Kazakhstan, le Turkménistan, l'Azerbaïdjan et l'Iran, la mer Caspienne est un bassin endoréique : elle n'a aucune communication naturelle avec les océans. Selon la géographie physique, c'est donc un lac salé, le plus grand du monde, avec une superficie de 370 000 km². Mais sa salinité (autour de 12 g/l) et son immense taille ont longtemps nourri l'ambiguïté : historiquement, les peuples riverains l'ont appelée “mer”, et les cartes l'ont toujours représentée ainsi.La vraie question, toutefois, est politico-juridique. Car si la Caspienne est une mer, elle relève du droit maritime international, notamment de la Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer (dite de Montego Bay, 1982). Dans ce cas, chaque pays riverain aurait une zone économique exclusive et un plateau continental, avec des droits d'exploitation sur le pétrole et le gaz situés dans sa partie. Si, en revanche, on la considère comme un lac, il faut la partager selon des règles spécifiques de droit interne entre États, par des accords bilatéraux ou multilatéraux.Pendant des décennies, cette ambiguïté a provoqué des tensions diplomatiques. L'effondrement de l'URSS en 1991 a tout compliqué : de deux États riverains (URSS et Iran), on est passé à cinq. Chacun voulait défendre sa part des immenses gisements d'hydrocarbures sous le fond caspien. L'enjeu était colossal.Après des années de négociations, un compromis a été trouvé en 2018 avec la Convention d'Aktau, signée par les cinq pays. Elle a établi un statut hybride :La mer Caspienne n'est ni un océan ni un lac au sens strict.Son eau de surface est partagée comme celle d'une mer, ouverte à la navigation commune.Mais son fond marin (où se trouvent les ressources) est divisé entre les États, comme pour un lac.Ainsi, la Caspienne bénéficie d'un régime juridique sui generis, c'est-à-dire unique en son genre. Ce statut permet à chacun des pays riverains d'exploiter ses ressources tout en maintenant une souveraineté partagée sur l'ensemble. En somme, la mer Caspienne est juridiquement… un peu des deux : une mer par son nom et ses usages, un lac par sa nature, et un compromis diplomatique par nécessité. Hébergé par Acast.

    Before Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme get to golf's biggest news of the past week - LIV Golf moving from 54 to 72 holes - we begin by detailing Smylie's brutal onset of “dad back” that left him crawling around the house. Charlie then recounts his cathartic return to golf at Hidden Creek - from a rain-soaked finish to a well-deserved steam shower. From there, the guys dig into LIV's move to 72-hole events: does it help majors performance, OWGR hopes, or brand identity? They hit fan reactions, Rory's take, player pathways, and why 72 holes might help some stars while blurring what made LIV different. In the back half of the episode, they tackle the DP World Tour dilemma: Rahm and Hatton's appeals, Ryder Cup eligibility, the PGA Tour partnership, TV product realities, and whether “home games,” nations, or mixed-gender teams could make team golf click.

    This Day in Legal History: Armistice DayOn November 11, 1918, World War I came to an end with the signing of the Armistice between the Allies and Germany. While not a legal instrument in the treaty sense, the armistice was a binding agreement that had massive legal and geopolitical ramifications. Its terms, including a cessation of hostilities, withdrawal of German forces, and surrender of military equipment, were enforced by military and diplomatic means, laying the groundwork for the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The legal aftermath of the war led to the creation of new nation-states, redrawn borders, and the first formal attempt at international governance through the League of Nations.November 11 would later be recognized in the United States as Veterans Day, originally commemorated as Armistice Day, reflecting the legal shift from honoring only WWI veterans to recognizing all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The legal transition occurred in 1954 when President Eisenhower signed legislation formally renaming the holiday. The legal framework surrounding veterans' benefits also expanded post-WWI, with landmark legislation like the GI Bill of Rights in 1944 and its subsequent reauthorizations, shaping how the U.S. compensates military service.Internationally, the armistice also contributed to legal debates over war guilt and reparations, particularly with Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles—the so-called “War Guilt Clause”—which placed sole responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies. That clause became a flashpoint in both legal and political discussions and was later cited by Germany as a grievance contributing to the rise of Nazism and WWII.The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. Davis had argued that her First Amendment right to free exercise of religion shielded her from liability, but lower courts rejected that defense, awarding damages and attorneys' fees exceeding $360,000 to plaintiffs David Ermold and David Moore. The Sixth Circuit found that Davis's actions constituted state action, not protected private conduct, and that she could not invoke her own constitutional rights to infringe on the rights of others while acting in an official capacity.Davis had also asked the Supreme Court to reconsider Obergefell, arguing it rested on the same substantive due process doctrine as Roe v. Wade, which the Court overturned in 2022. However, the justices declined to take up that issue, just as they had in 2020. The Court's refusal to revisit Obergefell signals a reluctance, at least for now, to reexamine established rights to same-sex marriage, even as the bench remains deeply conservative.US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right | ReutersSenior U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf, appointed by President Reagan in 1985, announced his resignation in order to publicly oppose what he describes as President Donald Trump's abuse of legal authority. In an article for The Atlantic, Wolf accused Trump of weaponizing the law against political enemies while shielding allies, a pattern he claims contradicts the principles he upheld over five decades in the Justice Department and on the bench. Wolf cited Trump's direction to Attorney General Pam Bondi to indict political opponents, including New York AG Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, as especially troubling.Wolf expressed frustration over the ethical constraints on judges that prevent them from speaking out publicly, saying he could no longer remain silent as Trump undermined the rule of law and dismantled oversight mechanisms such as inspectors general and the FBI's public-corruption unit. His resignation comes amid heightened tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary, underscored by combative rhetoric at a recent Federalist Society event. Wolf, who had previously criticized the handling of ethics complaints against Justice Clarence Thomas, said he now plans to support litigation and advocacy efforts to protect democratic norms and defend judges unable to speak for themselves.Reagan Judge Says He Quit Bench to Speak Out Against TrumpThe Trump administration has significantly shortened the time between publicly announcing judicial nominees and holding their Senate confirmation hearings, in some cases to as little as two days—far less than the typical 28-day window used by past administrations. While the Senate Judiciary Committee still adheres to its rule requiring 28 days between receiving nominee questionnaires and hearings, the White House now delays public disclosure until much later in the process, often after nominees have cleared internal background checks. Critics argue this reduces transparency and limits public scrutiny of lifetime judicial appointments, while supporters claim the process is efficient and appropriate given the nominees' qualifications.Some nominees, like Louisiana district court picks William Crain and Alexander Van Hook, received swift hearings with little controversy, though others, like appellate nominee Emil Bove, drew public concern during the brief window between announcement and hearing. Observers also criticized the administration's choice to reveal nominees via Trump's Truth Social account, often late at night, bypassing traditional press channels. Legal experts suggest this shift reflects a strategic move to minimize opposition and accelerate confirmations, but it has alarmed advocacy groups who say it undermines public trust and democratic norms.Trump Changes How Judicial Nominees Get Publicly Revealed This is a public episode.

Late-night disturbances in the snow, mysterious animal tracks that began and ended abruptly, and the haunting sensation of being watched deep in the Alaskan wilderness—all point toward something far beyond the ordinary.But David's encounters are only part of the mystery. Fred also explores the enduring legends of Alaska's “Little People”—elusive, otherworldly beings said to dwell in remote regions like the Johnson River and the Aleutian Mountains. Blending Native oral history, local folklore, and firsthand accounts, these stories reveal a hidden side of Alaska where myth and reality blur, and where ancient spirits may still roam among the mountains and tundra.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

    Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 7 novembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova.COMMENT LE TERRORISME A TRANSFORMÉ LA SOCIÉTÉ FRANÇAISE DEPUIS DIX ANS ? Voilà bientôt dix ans qu'un commando terroriste a semé la terreur dans les rues de Paris, le 13 novembre 2015, assassinant 130 personnes et en blessant plusieurs centaines d'autres. Trois rescapés se sont depuis donné la mort, succombant à leurs blessures psychiques. Ces attentats ont profondément impacté la société française. Les médias jouent un rôle central lors de tels événements. Difficile d'informer avec précision dans un climat de peur et d'incertitude après un attentat. Le 9 janvier 2015 notamment, des chaînes d'information en continu ont divulgué la présence d'otages cachés dans la chambre froide de l'Hypercacher de Vincennes, mettant leur vie en danger. Les médias servent de caisse de résonance aux terroristes, qui, pour la plupart sont avides de spectacle. Face à la sidération après les attentats contre Charlie Hebdo et l'Hypercacher, la société française s'est immédiatement massivement mobilisée comme en témoigne la grande manifestation du 11 janvier 2015. La vie quotidienne a été transformée, bouleversée par les dispositifs de surveillance, de prévention et de lutte antiterroriste. Le terrorisme provoque également des effets perturbateurs comme la montée de sentiments xénophobes, antimusulmans ou antisémites et leurs réponses politiques. Il a induit des progrès considérables de la recherche, en particulier, depuis 2015, sur la question des traumatismes. Il impacte les procédures judiciaires. En France, depuis 2019, le nombre de procès criminels pour terrorisme a été multiplié par sept : la raison principale en est non seulement la création d'un parquet national antiterroriste, mais aussi la volonté de donner réparation à toutes les victimes et leur offrir la possibilité de s'exprimer dans le lieu symbolique d'une cour de justice.Procureur de la République de Paris en charge de la lutte contre le terrorisme entre 2011 et 2018, François Molins a vécu les événements les plus dramatiques qui se sont succédé pendant cette période, des attentats de Mohamed Merah en 2012, au 13 novembre 2015, en passant par le massacre de la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo. Insistant sur le fait qu'il a fallu trouver une juste mesure entre le durcissement de la réponse et le respect des libertés et droits fondamentaux, François Molins considère que « dans l'ensemble, la France y est parvenue » : L'état d'urgence décrété au lendemain du 13 Novembre a duré un peu moins de deux ans, jusqu'au 1er novembre 2017. Il a rassuré les gens et permis une amplification de la lutte - assignations à résidence, perquisitions, interdictions de séjour, fermeture de mosquées radicalisées -, toujours sous le contrôle de la justice administrative et du Parlement. Mais le risque de dérive est réel, met en garde François Mollins. En octobre 2025, cinq actes terroristes d'inspiration djihadiste ont été réalisés ou projetés, dans quatre pays européens, rappelle l'ancien procureur antiterroriste Jean-François Ricard. Ces faits, insiste-t-il, doivent nous alerter sur la persistance d'une menace qui prend des formes nouvelles.LA GUERRE AU SOUDAN Au Soudan, le 26 octobre la ville d'El-Facher, capitale de la province du Darfour du Nord est tombée aux mains des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) qui assiégeaient la ville depuis plus de dix-huit mois. C'était le dernier bastion, au Darfour, des Forces armées soudanaises (FAS). La guerre au Soudan a commencé en avril 2023 lorsque les tensions autour du projet d'intégration des FSR à l'armée régulière ont éclaté en un conflit qui a fait des dizaines de milliers de morts et déplacé de 12 à 13 millions de personnes. Deux acteurs qui s'étaient partagé le pouvoir après la chute du dictateur Omar el-Béchir, renversé en 2019 s'affrontent : l'armée soudanaise, héritière de l'ancien régime, avec à sa tête le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhane ; et les FSR, une unité paramilitaire dissidente dirigée par le général Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, dit Hemetti. En début d'année, l'armée soudanaise et ses supplétifs miliciens ont reconquis la capitale, Khartoum, ainsi que la région agricole de la Jézira, le long du Nil. Depuis, ils contrôlent toute la moitié orientale du Soudan. A l'ouest, en revanche, les RSF dominent. Le noyau dur des hommes de Hemetti est composé d'anciens combattants arabes jenjawids employés, à l'époque d'El-Béchir, pour effectuer les sales besognes du régime et écraser les mouvements rebelles du Darfour. Ils sont eux-mêmes originaires de cette région, grande comme la France métropolitaine.Situé à la lisière de la partie subsaharienne de l'Afrique et du Moyen-Orient, le Soudan concentre une multitude de richesses et d'avantages géostratégiques suscitant toutes sortes de convoitises et d'ingérences : d'immenses terres arables, les eaux du Nil, des mines d'or, du pétrole, l'accès à la mer Rouge face à l'Arabie saoudite, des frontières avec huit pays africains. Soutenues par une partie des Émirats arabes unis, les FSR contrôlent les mines d'or du Darfour, les circuits de contrebande vers la Libye et la Centrafrique, et finance une armée privée plus riche que l'État soudanais, tandis que les FAS ont bénéficié de l'appui de l'Égypte, de l'Arabie saoudite, de l'Iran et de la Turquie, selon des observateurs. Tous nient toute implication.Les réactions internationales demeurent d'une discrétion gênée. Lundi, toutefois, le bureau du procureur de la Cour pénale internationale a averti que les atrocités commises par les FRS à El-Fasher « pourraient constituer des crimes de guerre et des crimes contre l'humanité ». Le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l'homme mentionne des « massacres massifs de civils et de combattants désarmés ». La région, déjà extrêmement affaiblie depuis les massacres de Geneina en 2023, s'enfonce dans un nouveau cycle de violences entre communautés, où vengeance et désordre remplacent toute stratégie politique. Le pays s'est disloqué en zones d'influence : le Darfour aux mains des FSR, le Nord et l'Est sous commandement militaire, le Sud livré au chaos. L'État soudanais, déjà amputé du Soudan du Sud en 2011, se délite à nouveau.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

    In the final week of our series Christ, Culture, & Politics, Pastor John S. Dickerson delivers a powerful and emotional message calling believers to see our nation and world through the lens of Scripture—not the culture. When Jesus wept over Jerusalem, He saw people rejecting truth and walking toward destruction. Today, we face similar spiritual battles of deception, division, and darkness. Yet there is still hope—for individuals, for nations, and for the Church—through Christ alone. In this message, Pastor John shares: - Why revival begins with transformed thinking (Romans 12:2) - How Christians can engage culture without losing focus on Christ’s Kingdom - Why Jesus still weeps for nations that turn from Him - The only true hope for freedom, equality, and peace in any society “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14 This is not a call to fear, but a call to faith—a call to be courageous, discerning, and devoted to Christ above all else. #ChristCulturePolitics #PastorJohnDickerson #FaithAndPolitics #ConnectionPointeChurch #ChristianWorldview #JesusOverPolitics #BiblicalWorldview #SpiritualRevival #ChristianLiving #GraceAndTruth NEXT STEPSHave you made a decision to follow Jesus and now wondering what your next step is?

    Alors que Paris s'apprête à commémorer, ce jeudi 13 novembre 2025, les attentats les plus meurtriers de son histoire, dix ans plus tard, le terrorisme islamiste reste un danger… en France, mais pas seulement. Dans un rapport datant du mois d'août dernier, les Nations unies assurent que la menace que représentent le groupe État islamique et ses affiliés «reste intacte», sa «stratégie» s'orientant «de plus en plus» vers l'Afrique. Au Moyen-Orient aussi, dans les régions irako-syriennes qu'elle dominait, il y a dix ans, l'organisation pourrait potentiellement regagner de l'influence. Sans oublier une autre branche particulièrement active en Asie centrale. Alors comment le terrorisme islamiste parvient-il à perdurer ?

    1. Apollo 1 and Soyuz 1 Disasters: Rushing the Space Race. Bob Zimmerman discusses the major setbacks suffered by both nations in 1967. In January, the Apollo 1 fire occurred during a launchpad rehearsal, killing astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee. The cause was carelessness: a spark ignited flammable materials in the pure oxygen atmosphere, trapping the crew because the hatch could only be opened externally. Frank Borman led the honest investigation, which resulted in major safety fixes, including a quick-opening hatch and nonflammable materials. Concurrently, in April 1967, the Soviet program suffered a disaster when cosmonaut Komarov died during the descent of Soyuz 1 after his parachute lines tangled. Both nations realized they had been rushing. The Russians, however, adopted a conservative rule: no manned mission would proceed unless an unmanned test was 100% successful, a standard the Zond missions failed to meet, giving the Americans a decisive edge for Apollo 8.

    Theme: Restoration, Repentance, and Prophecy — God's Zeal for Zion and His Sovereign Plan Pastor Matthew continued the study in Zechariah chapters 8–9, emphasizing God's zealous love for Jerusalem, His plan to restore His people, and the prophetic revelation of Jesus' triumphal entry hundreds of years before it happened. The message blended historical restoration, end-time prophecy, and personal spiritual application about obedience, repentance, and loving truth. The Context of Zechariah's Message Zechariah ministered to the returning exiles who were rebuilding the temple and city after Babylonian captivity. His message: Repent and rebuild, learning from the failures of their fathers who disobeyed God. “The reason Jerusalem was run over and the walls were down was because their fathers decided not to obey God.” Pastor warned that disobedience in one generation damages the next, but also offered hope: “The Lord will restore everything the cankerworm has eaten… You can start over today because His mercies are new every morning.” God's Zealous Love and Protective Jealousy (Zechariah 8:1–3) God declares: “I am zealous for Zion with great zeal.” Pastor explained the difference between sinful jealousy (possessive, fearful) and God's holy jealousy (protective, loving). He illustrated this with a story of a discerning wife's protective instinct — likening God's jealousy to the kind that protects, not controls. Application: God's jealousy is a shield of love, not suspicion. He guards His people as a husband guards his bride. God's Promise of Restoration and Peace Zechariah's vision shows old men and women in the streets and children playing again — symbols of renewed peace. Pastor noted that this prophecy has a dual fulfillment: Immediate — Israel's physical return and rebuilding under Nehemiah and Zechariah. Future — The millennial kingdom, when Christ reigns and Jerusalem is finally at peace. “There's coming a day when Jerusalem will never be moved again. They'll suffer, but they're there to stay.” The Nations and Israel — God's Sovereign Control Pastor described how world events align with biblical prophecy: nations turning against Israel, yet unable to uproot her. He cautioned that the stage is being set for the end-times conflict when “all nations come against Jerusalem.” “They're not leaving. Russia's not pushing them out. Muslims aren't. America won't compromise them out. They belong to God.” He reminded the congregation that God owns every nation: “Israel belongs to God. So does Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, America, and China. The earth is the Lord's.” Key Point: The rise and fall of nations are under divine authority; human plans collapse, but God's purposes stand forever (Psalm 2). God's Call to Integrity and Truth (Zechariah 8:16–17) The Lord calls His people to: Speak truth to neighbors. Give just judgment. Avoid evil and deceit. Pastor explained that while we are no longer “under the law,” the Ten Commandments remain, summed up in Jesus' two greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself.” He warned against loving lies and gossip, urging believers to love truth even when it hurts: “Love truth when it punches you in the face. It's your protector.” The Value of Correction and Loving Truth Pastor reminded that truth both encourages and rebukes: “One day truth pats you on the back, saying, ‘Keep going.' The next day it slaps you on the shoulder and says, ‘Stop being foolish.' We need both.” Truth guards against deception — echoing Paul's warning that in the last days, God will send strong delusion to those who reject truth (2 Thess. 2:11–12). Application: “Don't just love truth when it makes you feel good — love it when it corrects you. That's what keeps you safe.” Restoration of Joy and the Future Kingdom (Zechariah 8:19–23) God promised that Israel's fasts of mourning would become feasts of joy. People from many nations would say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” Pastor noted this points to both: Israel's national revival, and The global acknowledgment of God's presence among His people. He reminded the church that God reveals Himself to all nations and that no one is beyond His reach, citing: “The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11) God's Sovereignty in Judgment and Mercy (Zechariah 9) Pastor transitioned into Zechariah 9, noting it shifts from restoration to prophecy and divine judgment. The Lord declares He will judge the surrounding nations (Tyre, Sidon, Gaza, Ashkelon, Philistia), showing He alone controls history. “Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. If He tells you to store up, do it. If not, don't worry — just obey Him.” Prophecy of the Messiah — The Triumphal Entry (Zechariah 9:9–10) One of Scripture's clearest messianic prophecies: “Behold, your King is coming to you… lowly and riding on a donkey.” Pastor showed how this prophecy was fulfilled exactly in Luke 19:28–40, 500 years later, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt. He explained Jesus' deity through this miracle: He knew where the donkey was before the disciples arrived. The unbroken colt didn't resist because its Creator was riding it. “You don't buck the one who made you.” Key Revelation: Even creation recognizes the Creator. When the Pharisees told Jesus to silence His followers, He replied, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Closing Reflections — God's Ownership and Faithfulness Everything in creation belongs to God and returns to Him. All life flows from Him — human, animal, or natural — and He sustains it all. Pastor closed personally, thanking the congregation for prayers during his recovery from hip pain, testifying how God used the trial to draw him closer: “If you'll just talk to God and open your life to Him, He'll use it. He knows how to do things right.” He reflected on Jacob's limp and said, like the patriarch, “God weakened my strength in the way” to prepare him for the next phase of ministry. Core Message God's jealousy is protective — His love guards His people. Love truth, even when it hurts. Israel's restoration and Christ's reign are certain. God's Word is precise — prophecy always fulfills perfectly. Every trial, every delay, every pain can be used by God for transformation.

    US-China Ceasefire and Competition in Technology and Space. Jack Burnham (Foundation for Defense of Democracies research analyst) characterizes the Trump-Xi meeting as a necessary "truce" that allows both nations to gain stability and strengthen their positions before the next escalation. Regarding rare earths, China is now employing the US "playbook," setting up a licensing structure rather than a full trade cessation. He emphasizes that building a complete rare earth supply chain outside of China, especially refining capacity, may realistically take seven to ten years. In technology, Beijing is pushing for domestic self-sufficiency in AI infrastructure, partly driven by paranoia that imported chips may contain backdoors or vulnerabilities. Burnham also details China's commitment to militarizing space, including copying US reconnaissance capabilities and practicing anti-satellite operations like "dogfighting." 1917 PRINCETON IN PEKING

    The Wilderness E10 — Throughout ancient Israel's long history of wandering in the wilderness, failing in the garden land, being exiled to the nations, and then continuing to struggle after their return to the land, one thing has been clear. The people need a faithful shepherd like Moses who can guide them into God's provision and wisdom. So after Jesus is baptized in the wilderness and succeeds in his own wilderness tests, you can probably guess where Jesus goes to feed, heal, and teach people! In this episode, Jon and Tim explore stories in the gospels where Jesus provides for Israelites and non-Israelites in the wilderness, acting as a new Moses-like shepherd.CHAPTERSRecap of Theme and Setup for Jesus as a New Moses Figure (0:00-14:03)The People's Need for a Shepherd (14:03-24:04)Bread in the Wilderness for Israel (24:04-38:12)Discussing Bread With Pharisees and a Canaanite Woman (38:12-47:35)Bread in the Wilderness for the Nations (47:35-1:02:37)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Be Like Water” by Lofi Sunday, Zairis TéJion “Holy” by Lofi Sunday, Just Derrick “It's Gonna Be Alright-22” by Lofi Sunday, Marc Vanparla “jazz club” by Lofi Sunday, PAINT WITH SOUNDBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
