God speaks to us through prophetic dreams! He will use symbols, such as objects and animals, to reveal and expose the truth about the hidden gods of the world. Several deities: Sobek, Amon, Behemoth, and Khnum were revealed and associated with the Nile River in my dreams. Let's be clear, the Nile demonstrates God's power and authority over Egypt and other gods. Egyptians worshipped the Nile, a form of idolatry and reliance on gods and earthly resources rather than God. Unknowingly, we may still worship these gods, but God will overthrow His enemies once we understand the dark powers behind them and come against these water spirits through spiritual warfare!

Travel writer Rod Eime has just been to Egypt and joined Chris Taylor to reveal what's affordable, how to negotiate safety, Nile cruises, Luxor, Alexandria and the amazing museums.
Kelly shares the remarkable story of Armia Khalil, a Metropolitan Museum of Art security guard with a secret talent. As a child, Armia played in the mud and created little sculptures by the Nile River. Years later, the artistic young man immigrated to the US with just $375 and a suitcase of woodworking tools. After years of struggle, he landed a job as a security guard at the Met, where a chance conversation with a curator led to his lifelong dream coming true. It's a powerful reminder that everyone—from bus drivers to baristas—carries a universe of dreams inside them. What might we discover if we took a moment to see the artists walking among us? This episode was inspired by Dodai Stewart's New York Times article. (published January 8, 2025).

Book Vs. Movie: Death on the NileThe 1937 Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 2022 Kenneth Branagh film. Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile has long been a fan favorite, combining romance, betrayal, and murder aboard a glamorous steamer cruising the Nile River. In 2022, director Kenneth Branagh brought the classic mystery back to the big screen with an all-star cast and a modern flair. But how faithful is this adaptation to the original 1937 novel?Branagh (who returns as Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot) updates the cast of characters from the source material and discusses the racial politics of the time more. The director also adds to Poirot's backstory, including his facial hair and past romances, which are not in the book. Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other? Have a listen to find out!In this episode, the Margos discuss:Agatha Christie & her character of Poirot The differences between the book and the movieThe cast includes: Tom Bateman (Bouc,) Annette Bening (Euphemia Bouc,) Kenneth Branagh (Poirot,) Michael Rouse (Private Laurin,) Alaa Safi (Corporal) Letitia Wright (Rosalie Otterbourne,) Sophie Okonedo (Salome Otterbourne,) Gal Gadot (Linnet Ridgeway,) Jennifer Saunders (Marie Van Schuyler,) Dawn French (Bowers,) and Susannah Fielding as Katharine.

Although pyramids are similar in design, many may have had different or dual functions. The authors propose that ancient Egypt developed and controlled an elaborate power system that was centered around Giza and as far south as Abydos. They believe that the underground structures, channels, and cavities that surround ancient Pyramid structures were part of an immense industrial complex, including gigantic earth batteries. The authors believe evidence indicates that the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau had the ability to electrically charge, or change the molecular structure of water, giving it unique properties. We believe the ancient Egyptians created a fourth form of electrically-charged water, giving it unique properties. James Ernest Brown calls this "Earthmilk Ancient Energy." All pyramids were connected to the Nile River, and there is physical evidence that water from the Nile River circulated through their passageways and chambers by way of man-made channels both above and under the ground.DR.

Dream Believin' - Those with Ears to HearWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2023%3A28&version=CJBJeremiah 23:28"If a prophet has a dream, let him tell it as a dream. But someone who has my word should speak my word faithfully. What do chaff and wheathave in common?" asks Adonai.Genesis 41:1-7 At the end of two years, Pharaoh had a dream: he was standing beside the Nile River; 2 and there came up out of the river seven cows, sleek and fat; and they began feeding in swamp grass. 3 After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, miserable-looking and lean; and they stood by the other cows at the edge of the river. 4 Then the miserable-looking and lean cows ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. At this point Pharaoh woke up. 5 But he went to sleep again and dreamt a second time: seven full, ripe ears of grain grew out of a single stalk. 6 After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up. 7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven full, ripe ears. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it had been a dream.Genesis 41:8 In the morning he found himself so upset that he summoned all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one there could interpret them for him. 9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "Today reminds me of something wherein I am at fault: 10 Pharaoh was angry with his officials and put me in the prison of the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker. 11 One night both I and he had dreams, and each man's dream had its own meaning. 12 There was with us a young man, a Hebrew, a servant of the captain of the guard; and we told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us — he interpreted each man's dream individually. 13 And it came about as he interpreted to us — I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."Genesis 41:14 Then Pharaoh summoned Yosef, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.15 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; but I've heard it said about you that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it." 16 Yosef answered Pharaoh, "It isn't in me. G_d will give Pharaoh an answer that will set his mind at peace." 17 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "In my dream, I stood at the edge of the river; 18 and there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek; and they began feeding in the swamp grass. 19 After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, poor, miserable-looking and lean — I've never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt! 20 Then the lean and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 But after they had eaten them up, one couldn't tell that they had eaten them; because they were as miserable-looking as before. At this point I woke up. 22 But I dreamed again and saw seven full, ripe ears of grain growing out of a single stalk. 23 After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up. 24 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven ripe ears. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me."Genesis 41:25 Yosef said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are the same: G_d has told Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are seven years — the dreams are the same. 27 Likewise the seven lean and miserable-looking cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted by the east wind — there will be seven years of famine. 28 This is what I told Pharaoh: G_d has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Here it is: there will be seven years of abundance throughout the whole land of Egypt; 30 but afterwards, there will come seven years of famine; and Egypt will forget all the abundance. The famine will consume the land, 31 and the abundance will not be known in the land because of the famine that will follow, because it will be truly terrible. 32 Why was the dream doubled for Pharaoh? Because the matter has been fixed by G_d, and G_d will shortly cause it to happen.Genesis 41:33 "Therefore, Pharaoh should look for a man both discreet and wise to put in charge of the land of Egypt. 34 Pharaoh should do this, and he should appoint supervisors over the land to receive a twenty percent tax on the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. 35 They should gather all the food produced during these good years coming up and set aside grain under the supervision of Pharaoh to be used for food in the cities, and they should store it. 36 This will be the land's food supply for the seven years of famine that will come over the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish as a result of the famine."Genesis 41:37 The proposal seemed good both to Pharaoh and to all his officials. 38 Pharaoh said to his officials, "Can we find anyone else like him? The Spirit of G_d lives in him!"39 So Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Since G_d has shown you all this — there is no one as discerning and wise as you — 40 you will be in charge of my household; all my people will be ruled by what you say. Only when I rule from my throne will I be greater than you." 41 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Here, I place you in charge of the whole land of Egypt." 42 Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Yosef's hand, had him clothed in fine linen with a gold chain around his neck 43 and had him ride in his second best chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow down!" Thus he placed him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh said to Yosef, "I, Pharaoh, decree that without your approval no one is to raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt." 45 Pharaoh called Yosef by the name Tzafnat-Pa‘neach and gave him as his wife Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On. Then Yosef went out through all the land of Egypt.Genesis 41:46 Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt; then he left Pharaoh's presence and traveled through all the land of Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance, the earth brought forth heaps of produce. 48 He collected all the food of these seven years in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities — the food grown in the fields outside each city he stored in that city. 49 Yosef stored grain in quantities like the sand on the seashore, so much that they stopped counting, because it was beyond measure.Genesis 41:50 Two sons were born to Yosef before the year of famine came; Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore them to him. 51 Yosef called the firstborn M'nasheh [causing to forget], "Because G_d has caused me to forget all the troubles I suffered at the hands of my family." 52 The second he called Efrayim [fruit], "For G_d has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune."Genesis 41:53 The seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt ended; 54 and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Yosef had said. There was famine in all lands, but throughout the land of Egypt there was food. 55 When the whole land of Egypt started feeling the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Yosef, and do what he tells you to do." 56 The famine was over all the earth, but then Yosef opened all the storehouses and sold food to the Egyptians, since the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 Moreover all countries came to Egypt to Yosef to buy grain, because the famine was severe throughout the earth.Creditshttps://unsplash.com/photos/parked-white-bicycle-V83v-MYB_Z8https://unsplash.com/photos/sea-of-clouds-LtWFFVi1RXQ
In the story of the seventh plague, hail, Pharaoh finally admits he was wrong after seeing hail mixed with fire from the sky—a strange and powerful miracle. This moment shows us that even someone as stubborn and self-centered as Pharaoh can have a moment of realization. The mix of fire and ice in the hail represents Pharaoh's personality: cold and unfeeling towards others but fiery and passionate about his own needs.The reason the plague was hail is significant too. Egypt didn't depend on rain because of the Nile River, so they never looked up and depended on something higher than themselves. This is like Pharaoh's narcissism, where he only depended on himself and never considered a higher power or the needs of others.However, Pharaoh's realization was short-lived, teaching us that overcoming deep-seated selfishness requires more than just a moment of clarity. It needs a fundamental change in how one views themselves and their place in the world.Takeaways:Self-reflection is crucial: Even the most stubborn person can have moments of clarity. It's important to reflect on our actions and consider their impact on others.Empathy over ego: The story teaches the importance of caring for others, not just ourselves. Being aware of others' feelings and needs helps us grow as individuals.The role of humility: Recognizing a higher power or something greater than ourselves can help combat selfishness. It's a reminder that we're not the center of the universe.Change takes time: True change in character and perspective is not instantaneous; it requires continuous effort and humility.By learning from Pharaoh's mistake, we're reminded to stay empathetic, humble, and open to change, ensuring we don't fall into the trap of self-obsession.Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

The Sudanese army shelled parts of Khartoum's twin city of Omdurman from early morning on Thursday, after declaring victory over their Rapid Support Forces rivals in a two-year battle for the capital. The army ousted the RSF from its last footholds in Khartoum on Wednesday but the paramilitary RSF holds some areas in Omdurman, directly across the Nile River, and has consolidated in West Sudan, splitting the nation into rival zones. Here is the latest report by the Reuters News Agency...
(Isaiah 34:16) The Bible is the very Word of God. It is God's special revelation of Himself! The more we seek God in the Scriptures the more we come to know Him personally. (0974250325) ----more---- What is the Bible? What is the Bible? Where did it come from? How can we be sure that it is accurate? Can it be trusted? And we're gonna deal with some of those questions over the next few episodes, and The Bible's Divine Foundation I'm very excited about this final section in our study on what the Bible says because we've come to know what the Bible says about the word of God, literally what the Bible says about itself. Now, there are lots of external evidences that the Bible is the word of God. We're gonna talk about some of those, but internally, just read the Bible and the power of scripture will bring great conviction and assurance to your heart that indeed this is God's divine revelation. That it is the perfect revelation of our great God. I'm excited about this section, and I've saved it last, not because it's the least, but because, in fact, it lays a foundation for everything that we believe. All of the great truths we've been talking about for the last several weeks are built on the foundation of the word of God. If you don't have an authority to draw from, then it's just my opinion and your opinion. And this lays a foundation for any other question that might come up. Certainly, this study has not been exhaustive on even the subjects we've discussed, and then there are so many questions that arise in the world we live in today. Where do you find the answers? We believe that the Bible is the very word of the living God and that you can trust the word of God because you can trust the God of the word. Where Did the Word "Bible" Come From? Now the term Bible is an interesting term. Where does it come from? It actually comes from a word that means role or book. Now book. We understand role is a reference to the way an ancient civilization that they would write. I remember many years ago being in Cairo, Egypt, and they gave us a demonstration of how they created papyrus paper. These roles that would oftentimes become scrolls. They took reeds that grew along the Nile River and they would cut them into strips, lay them line up upon line at right angles, and then beat them and press them and polish them. And after they have dried and strengthened and bound together, it created a wonderful paper that could be written on. I remember bringing a sample of that back with me. It was just an idea about what an ancient civilization was done. We take so much for granted in our modern era with all the technology we have to convey writing, I. But in the early days, it was a very expensive and laborious process. Much work went into both writing it and then preserving it. The word Bible literally means a role or a book. It is a library of 66 books that all come together to be divine In fact, this is revelation. It's referred to throughout the word of God as scripture or the word of God. The Bible says in Isaiah 34:16, "16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read:" That's powerful, isn't it? This book that we're studying, this book we're talking about is not just any book. This is not man's book. This is literally the book of the Lord. And did you notice that he gave two action verbs? Two things we should do. He says, first, seek and then read. There is here a process. That's what reading is, but there's also heart in it. That's what seeking is. This is more than just something to read like you'd skim the headlines of the newspaper. No, my friend. This is something to read on a heart level. It's something to read with a great passion to know the God of the Bible. The Bible as God's Revelation The Bible is the finished revelation of God. It is the place where God reveals his person, his work, and his will. For mankind, it is God's record of who he is. And he said to man, write it down. Now, the first mention of such writing is all the way back atf the Old Testament. In fact, in Exodus 24:4, the Bible says, " 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord," We believe that though men were used as instruments of writing the scriptures. That all scripture is given by inspiration of God. That means it has a divine source. It may come to us through many tributaries. It may come through many human penman, but it has one source, and that is, it comes from God. Peter wrote and said that Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, literally as they were born along by the Holy Ghost. In other words, this is a spiritual book because this is a book the Holy Spirit wrote. It is the foundation for everything that we believe. And now I wanna talk to you for just a moment today about the most basic truth about the word of God. And it is this the Bible is God's revelation of himself. The God of the Bible is a God who wants to be known. Is there mystery related to our God? Certainly because there are things we can't fully understand. Comprehend, fathom, we're finite beings. He's an infinite God. And yet how loving and wonderful to know that the God who created the world wanted man to know him. He wanted us to be brought into the knowledge of Him. General and Special Revelation He began by giving us what we might call general revelation. That's the revelation that everybody on Earth has. It just reveals there is a God. For example, Psalm 19, "1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." What does that mean? It means that even the creation. Cries out. There is a God, the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds that fly through the air all are a testament to the fact that there is an all powerful, all wise, all good God that ma not only made the world, but sustains the world. So the creation testifies. Romans chapter one, alludes to this same principle. As a matter of fact, the Bible says in Romans 1:18, "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" In other words, they've been given some truth, but they've not responded the right way to it. He goes on to say in verse 19, "19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" In other words, God's made it so that all men have some light, and if they follow the light they have, God will give them more light. So many people reject the light that they've been given. As a matter of fact, Romans chapter one says, A great number of these people begin worshiping and serving the creature instead of the creator. They stop shy of the actual source, which is God himself. So there's general revelation that begins with creation. It also includes man's conscience. Every man has a conscience built into him. The very next chapter in Romans, Romans chapter two, verse 15, says, "15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" So God gives us creation and conscience to reveal the reality of God. But he goes beyond that in scripture and the word of God. He not only gives general revelation, he gives what we might call special revelation because in scripture we have not only the reality of God. We have the message of redemption from God. Only through the word of God can we come to know how we can have a personal relationship with the creator God of the universe. We're born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible by the word of God, which liveth and abid it forever. General Revelation prepares man for special revelation, but the special revelation of scripture is necessary for any man to have a personal relationship with the creator God. And this revelation, of course, is given in the Bible. Read Your Bible I wanna encourage you today to spend some time just reading your Bible. Seek ye in the book of the Lord and read. Spend some time today reading the Word of God and say to the God of the word, Lord, I want to know you better, because the Bible is the foundation of our faith. Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. Outro and Resources We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our Library of Bible teaching resources, including book-by-book studies of scripture.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the explosive new evidence exposed by two scientists regarding a massive structure under the Great Pyramid of Giza as well as other pyramids on the Giza Plateau. The advanced scans utilizing "SAR" show 648 meter deep hollow tubular structures attached to two cubical structures both 80 meters showing a 2km structure in total below the Great Pyramid. We at WAM first talked about a massive structure below the Great Pyramid in 2016 but went on to not only explore the ancient tunnel system at Derenkuyu and consider the potential of these tunnels stretching as far as Egypt but we also went with Jimmy from Bright Insight, Ben from UnchartedX and Yousef Awyan of thr Khemit School of Ancient Mysticism deep below the pyramid to the subterranean chamber in 2020. Our exploration of the Great Pyramid's subterranean chamber was fascinating. As we noted at the time, it's clear there is a major structure beneath the floor and that the "well" seen in our videos likely stretches to but is covered up. Water had risen from the Nile River table into the subterranean chamber sending vibrations up the corridors to the Grand Gallery and through the King's Chamber. According to Phys research in 2018, the Great Pyramid of Giza still focuses elctromagnetic energy to this day. We had talked at the time about the connection of the pyramids underground to a vast tunnel network similar to Derenkuyu and as we had also explored the mysterious Osiris Shaft underground between the Great Pyramid and The Sphinx, it's clear that the Giza Plateau complex is FAR bigger than meets the eye with countless tunnels and "vents" everywhere in the area. There was clearly a lost ancient civilization with incredible technologies. Many have asked the question, are we actually living on a natural planet or a machine? So many questions arise from these recent findings but also it's important to note that the scan animations may be somewhat exaggerated compared to the actual scan data as the artistic rendering of the scans don't look quite like the scans themselves. Nonetheless, this could be one of the most incredible findings in the last hundred years... If archeologists actually listen to the people at the Khafre Project and allow for excavations of the underground system as well as the other chambers found in the scan. If we know anything about mainstream archeology, this may unfortunately be unlikely. Like the scans of the massive hall under the Sphinx, people like Zahi Hawass will simply proclaim he "doesn't believe in radar." Incredible. We did everything we could to tell people about this 8 years ago and from the scene when we lived in Egypt 5 years ago, but alas, one is usually called crazy until proven correct.

Lots of great questions today! What is Christian mysticism? | A Christian public school teacher told me at church that I should trust God and place my kids in public school like Jochabed placed baby Moses in the basket of the Nile River. What say you? | What's your advice for parents of teens getting their driver's licenses? | What are your thoughts on the purity ring for a girl? | I'll be staying with my sister soon and we disagree on religion and politics. How do I handle that situation to be a good example to my 14 year old?

In 1970, one of the world's largest infrastructure projects opened in Aswan, Egypt. It was a dam that harnessed the power of the Nile River, the longest river in the world. The dam provided electricity for half of the country and tamed the annual floods, a regular feature on the Nile. But the project wasn't without its drawbacks. It became a point of contention during the Cold War, displaced thousands, and destroyed an unknown number of ancient artifacts.

Erik Torenberg and Samo Burja examine how advancing desalination technology could reshape geopolitics and transform landscapes. They discuss how affordable desalination ($0.3 cents per liter) makes large-scale terraforming feasible, potentially enabling countries like Saudi Arabia or Australia to create vast green spaces and support larger populations. The technology's implications extend beyond water security to national development and climate resilience. The essay on desalination originally appeared in The Bismarck Brief - subscribe here: https://brief.bismarckanalysis.com/ —
This week, we're examining Ezekiel 32, the final chapter of eight in his Oracles Against the Nations. This chapter also concludes the series of seven oracles against Egypt. It consists of lamentations for Pharaoh and the Egyptian forces, symbolically depicting their defeat and descent into Sheol.The sixth oracle against Egypt came to Ezekiel on March 3, 585 BCE, two years after the previous oracle and two months after news of Jerusalem's fall reached the exiles (33:21). By this time, new refugees lived among them in Tel Abib, and they were hearing Ezekiel's prophecies for the first time. All hope of Egyptian intervention was lost.Ezekiel raised a final lament for Pharaoh saying, “You consider yourself a lion among the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, trouble the water with your feet, and foul your streams” (32:2). Ezekiel then returned to his earlier imagery of a crocodile or tannim, a mythical sea monster. Yahweh decreed that he, and a throng of people, would capture the sea monster in a net and hurl it into an open field. Exposed to the elements, the creature would die. Perhaps this was Ezekiel's way of portraying Pharaoh's exile to a foreign land. Scavenging animals and birds would eat from his massive carcass that overlaid the mountains and filled the valleys with his blood (32:3-4).When the creature died, God would darken the skies. He said, “All the shining lights of the heavens I will darken above you and put darkness on your land” (32:7). Darkening the sun, moon, and stars was reminiscent of the Exodus, the last time God confronted the pharaoh by displaying his power over all of nature (Ex. 10:21-24). God also vowed that he would wipe out all of Egypt's livestock (32:13). During the Exodus, the fifth plague God sent on Egypt specifically targeted the animals of Egypt but spared the livestock of the Israelites. According to Ezekiel, so little would survive in Egypt that the Nile River and its channels would have a chance to rest. Without cattle kicking up mud or humans drawing water, the debris would settle, and its streams would run clear as oil (33:14). Support the show
* Israel says UNRWA must leave East Jerusalem by January 30 Israel's United Nations envoy, Danny Danon, has told the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres that the UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA must "cease its operations in [East] Jerusalem, and evacuate all premises in which it operates in the city" by January 30. A law banning UNRWA's operation on Israeli land and contact with Israeli authorities takes effect on January 30. * Pete Hegseth confirmed as defence secretary after Vance's tiebreaking vote Vice President JD Vance has broken the Senate's 50-50 vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the US Secretary of Defense despite questions over qualifications and allegations of heavy drinking and aggressive behaviour toward women. The voting late on Friday was at a 50-50 tie before Vance broke the tie. Rarely has a Cabinet nominee faced such wide-ranging concerns about his experience and behaviour as Hegseth, particularly for such a high-profile role leading the US military. * UN peacekeepers locked in 'intense' fighting against M23 rebels in DRC The United Nations mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo said that its peacekeepers are "engaged" in "intense" fighting against M23 rebels, who have almost encircled the main city in the country's east. The UN said in a statement that its mission's Quick Reaction Forces have "been actively engaged in intense combat" over the past 48 hours, carrying out heavy artillery fire against M23 positions. The mission reported that heavy clashes were ongoing for the control of Sake — a town in DRC's eastern province of North Kivu. * Sudan army breaks RSF's siege on Khartoum HQ, reclaims oil refinery The Sudanese army has said it broke a siege of its headquarters in Khartoum by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which had encircled it since war broke out in April 2023. In a statement, the army said troops in Bahri (Khartoum North) and Omdurman across the Nile River had "merged with our forces stationed at the General Command of the Armed Forces". A military source confirmed that "the arrival of the forces from Bahri completely lifted the siege on the command". * Experts look for clues as mysterious deaths grip India-administered Kashmir Authorities in the India-administered Jammu and Kashmir region are probing the mysterious deaths of 17 people in a remote village, which has led to a lockdown. Over the past month, 17 individuals from three connected families, including 12 children, have died in the village of Badhaal in the Rajouri district, situated along the Line of Control, the boundary between India- and Pakistan-administered parts of the disputed Kashmir region. The deaths took place between December 7 and January 19. Around 200 people have been quarantined, while six others have been hospitalised and are in stable condition, according to officials.
After Moshe was placed in a basket in the Nile River, the pasuk states: ותתצב אחתו מרחק לדעה מה־יעשה לו "His sister stood from afar to see what would happen to him." The Midrash explains that the entire pasuk uses language referring to the Shechina , as if to say that it was Hashem Himself who was standing from afar, watching over Moshe. What is the lesson here? Rabbi Menashe Reizman, based on the mefarshim , explained that what Miriam did—standing and watching—seemed irrational. Naturally, a baby left in a basket on a river would not survive. People usually cannot bear to witness suffering, especially when it involves a relative. So, what was Miriam watching for? The answer is that Miriam was a neviah . She had received a prophecy that the Jewish savior would be born into her family. She stood there with unwavering emunah , waiting to see how Hashem would bring about the salvation. Even though it seemed as though her prophecy would be nullified—since Moshe was abandoned in the river—she trusted that Hashem would fulfill His word. This teaches us that Hashem's ways are far beyond our comprehension. What appeared as abandonment was, in fact, the very act that enabled Moshe to rise to leadership. Being raised in the king's palace gave Moshe the stature and respect necessary to lead the Jewish people. The word אחותו (his sister) in the pasuk also signifies connection. Although Hashem appeared רחוק -distant, He was always present, providing exactly what was needed. The suffering endured by the Jewish people in Mitzrayim was immense, yet the Torah dedicates only a handful of pesukim to describing it. The majority of these parshiyot focus on the geula and Hashem's wondrous salvations. The mefarshim explain that dwelling too much on hardships can distort our perception and harm our emunah . For example, Chazal tell us that Pharaoh killed 300 Jewish babies every day—150 in the morning and 150 in the afternoon—and bathed in their blood. When Moshe witnessed this unimaginable suffering, he asked Hashem how such atrocities could happen. Hashem explained that it was all being done with chesed , to provide the necessary tikkunim for those souls. Moshe pleaded with Hashem to save at least one child, and Hashem permitted it. That child, however, later caused great destruction to Klal Yisrael . His name was Michah. Michah used the inscription "Aleh Shor" , which Moshe had used to retrieve Yosef's coffin, to bring forth the egel from the fire—a sin that continues to impact us today. Michah brought avoda zara into Eretz Yisrael and was the father of Yeravam ben Nevat(Nevat was another name for Micha), who led the ten tribes into exile and set events into motion that ultimately led to the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash . We cannot fully comprehend Hashem's ways. The children killed in Mitzrayim were undergoing tikkunim to achieve eternal life in the World to Come. Many were gilgulim (reincarnated souls) from earlier generations—the generations of Enosh, the Dor Hamabul , the Dor Hapelaga , and the people of Sodom. The Mishna in Pirkeh Avot teaches: אל תסתכל בקנקן אלא במה שיש בו - "Don't look at the vessel but at its contents." The Lev Aryeh explains that this can also refer to the atrocities in Mitzrayim. The letters קן in the word קנקן have a numerical value of 150(written 2x), hinting at the 150 babies killed every morning and every afternoon. The mishna reminds us not to focus solely on the apparent suffering but to consider the greater purpose—those souls were spared from bringing even greater harm to Klal Yisrael . Even the worst suffering can be Hashem's way of providing tikkunim for each creation, ensuring its eternal life in the World to Come. Our role is to trust that the Shechina is always with us, working for our ultimate benefit. The Chatam Sofer writes that every Jew has a mitzva, as they age, to reflect on their life and see how Hashem guided them. We are to recognize how events that once seemed terrible were, in hindsight, truly good. One of our main missions in this world is to develop complete faith in Hashem's constant and boundless chesed . One day, everything will be revealed. Until then, we have the opportunity to demonstrate our belief.
Parashat Shemot tells of the Egyptians' enslavement of Beneh Yisrael. We read that as Beneh Yisrael rapidly reproduced, and their population grew, Pharaoh feared that they would turn against the empire, and join with Egypt's enemies. He thus decided to enslave them, so they would not endanger the country. Pharaoh later decreed that all newborn boys among Beneh Yisrael should be murdered. The Gemara in Masechet Sota (11a) tells that Pharaoh actually consulted with his three advisors, all of whom are known to us from other contexts: Bilam, Yitro and Iyob. Bilam, the Gemara relates, made the suggestion to oppress Beneh Yisrael, and so he was killed in battle by Beneh Yisrael many years later. Iyob remained silent, without agreeing or objecting, and he was punished for his inaction by enduring harsh afflictions. Yitro fled, unwilling to take part in the inhumane treatment of Beneh Yisrael, and he was thus rewarded. If we think about it, the reactions of all three men are nothing short of baffling. Bilam, as the Mishna in Pirkeh Avot (5:19) describes, was exceedingly arrogant. He felt overly confident and secure. We would have expected him to dismiss Pharaoh's fears, to remind Pharaoh that Egypt was powerful enough not to feel threatened by Beneh Yisrael's rapid growth. Iyob, as we know, was an exceptionally righteous man. He is the last person we would expect to sit by idly as the panel of which he was part devised an evil plan to persecute an innocent sector of the population. And Yitro is described by the Rabbis as a profound thinker and philosopher, who studied and pondered all the different faiths in the world until arriving at the truth of monotheism. Surely a man with such brilliance could have shown Pharaoh the absurdity of his fears, that there was no reason to suspect that Beneh Yisrael, who had shown no signs of disloyalty, would turn against the country. Yet, Yitro did not speak up, and instead ran away. This shows us quite clearly how the Egyptian bondage unfolded in a way that nobody could have ever predicted. Beneh Yisrael lived peacefully in Egypt, without causing any trouble or inviting enmity, and yet, through a series of circumstances which they would never have foreseen, they found themselves brutally enslaved, and their infants put to death. However, this Parasha tells us also how the redemption from Egypt unfolded in no less an unpredictable fashion. A woman named Yochebed decided to hide her child from the Egyptian authorities, and placed him in a basket on the Nile River. The baby was discovered by none other than the princess – the daughter of the evil king who decreed that all infants among Beneh Yisrael should be put to death. We would have expected the princess – who immediately identified the child as a Jew – to comply with her father's edict, and kill the baby, or at least leave him to die on his own. But she not only saved the baby, in direct defiance of her father's decree – she brought him to the palace and raised him there, giving him the name "Moshe" which alluded to his having been drawn from the water ("Meshitihu") – loudly broadcasting the fact that she acted against her father! Remarkably, Pharaoh's own palace became the home in which the redeemer was raised. The Rabbis teach that Pharaoh decreed the murder of the infants because his astrologers warned that the one who would redeem Beneh Yisrael was about to be born. And yet, it turned out that Pharaoh himself raised this baby who would lead Beneh Yisrael to freedom. Just as the exile began as a result of a sequence of events that nobody could have possibly predicted, the redemption, too, unfolded in a likewise unpredictable manner. The Egyptian exile is viewed by our tradition as the prototype of all subsequent exiles, and the redemption from Egyptian bondage is viewed as the prototype for all subsequent redemptions. Just as the Egyptian exile began and ended in ways which nobody could have predicted – so will all our nation's exiles began and end in unpredictable ways. The current war being waged in Eretz Yisrael began in a way that no one could have possibly foreseen. No one could have imagined that a barbaric, primitive terror group could succeed in breaching Israel's state-of-the-art barrier, using the most advanced technology on earth, secured by what is likely the world's greatest intelligence apparatus. Hamas' success in attacking Israel on October 7, 2023 was something none of us could have predicted, and even now, it still boggles the mind how such a thing could have happened. It is clear beyond a doubt that this was Hashem's doing, that, just as Hashem brought about Beneh Yisrael's enslavement through a peculiar, mysterious sequence of events, He brought upon us the current crisis, as well. But we find comfort and encouragement in the knowledge that the resolution of this crisis, and our nation's redemption, will likewise occur in ways that we cannot possibly imagine. It is futile to try predicting what will happen and how this will end. And G-d certainly does not need our ideas. The only thing about the outcome that we know for certain is that it will be something which nobody can foresee right now. We must maintain our faith and fervently pray on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Israel, recognizing that the outcome will be determined solely by Hashem.
Isaiah speaks the burden concerning Egypt because the LORD desires His people to know that looking to Egypt for help is futile. Egypt's idolatry is useless. Egypt depends on the Nile River, and yet, the Nile is under the LORD's command. Egypt's wisdom is foolish. To show the reality of the judgment coming upon Egypt, God commands Isaiah to preach naked and barefoot for three years. In all these ways, God shows His people not to trust in Egypt. Not only will Egypt be judged like all the nations, but ultimately the one true God will call even Egyptians to worship Him alone. Therefore, Israel should trust in the LORD for help. Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 19:1-20:6. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Where the Nile Meets the Sea: Mystery of the Great Giza Sphinx is a fictional tale about two characters Geb and Luna. Local author, Andreja B. Gunjaric was a guest on The Spark to share more details about her debut book. “Where the Nile Meets the Sea is a fictional adventure tale about GEB and Luna, their prehistoric siblings in the late Stone Age. And they go on a long adventure along the Nile River, where the Nile meets the sea is the point. In the Nile River's meeting with the Mediterranean, where the river separates, and the ancient Egyptian gods once lived as humans in my story. And that is where the primary action takes place. But Gabert Luna follows the Northern Star. Their father has told them stories about the North Star and how he believes that ancestor souls pass through the spiraling stars into the heavens, and they hope to meet their ancestors there.” Gunjaric was inspired to write the book during the Covid lockdowns as she began researching her genealogy. She knew that her ancestors were originally from Switzerland and was traced back to the 1300’s. However, her husband didn’t know much about his genealogy. “My husband knew nothing about his other than they had come from a particular country that once was aligned along the Roman Empire, the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. And so we researched on 23 and me, we submitted DNA samples, and we also consulted cousins that were older than Andrew to learn more about our ancestors and discovered the village from which they came. And after that, I began to trace the migration of people and how they arrived at the country where they eventually ended up living and decided I wanted to write a story about the migrations of people over a series of time. And this is really the first of six books. This discusses a migration from ancient Africa up to Dagger Land, which is a part of the North Sea, submerged between the British Isles and the European continent. Ten percent of Where the Nile Meets the Sea royalties earned will be donated to Tree Aid, a international NGO supporting communities to tackle poverty and the climate crisis through the power of trees. Their project supports the Great Green Wall- an initiative to prevent the Sahara desert’s expansion by planting a wall of trees from Senegal to Sudan.

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explores the difference between the dreams of Pharoah and the dreams of Yaakov Avinu. Pharaoh dreams that he is standing above the Nile River, Yaakov dreams that Hashem is standing above him. When we dream that we are above God we go back to sleep. When we dream that God is standing above us we are obligated to fulfill the mission for which we were created.
The Fat Cows and the Skinny Cows: Why Was Pharaoh Blown Away by Joseph? - Weekly Women's Class: This class was presented on Tuesday, 23 Kislev, 5785, December 24, 2024, Parshas Miketz, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, has two dreams. In the first, Pharaoh sees himself standing over the Nile River, and then, seven fat cows emerge from the river, followed by seven thin cows. The thin cows proceed to swallow the fat ones and yet remain just as thin as before. In his second dream, Pharaoh sees seven thin, shriveled ears of grain swallow seven fat ears of grain. None of the wise men of Egypt can offer Pharaoh a satisfactory interpretation of his dreams. Finally, Joseph is summoned from his dungeon; he interprets the dreams to mean that seven years of plenty, symbolized by the fat cows and fat grain, will be followed by seven years of hunger, reflected by the lean cows and the shriveled ears. The seven years of famine will be so powerful that they will "swallow up" and obliterate any trace of the years of plenty. Joseph then advises Pharaoh to prepare for the looming crisis by stockpiling food during the years of plenty and then rationing it out during the famine.Pharaoh is blown away by Joseph's vision. "Can there be another person who has G-d's spirit in him as this man does?" he asks his advisors.He appoints Joseph viceroy of Egypt, and the rest is history. A number of blatant questions instantly emerge in this story: 1) Why did Joseph proceed to give Pharaoh unsolicited advice on how to deal with the impending famine? Pharaoh summoned Joseph, a slave, from the dungeon to interpret his dreams, not to become the advisor to the king!? 2) Pharaoh was amazed by Joseph's interpretation of the dreams, which none of his own wise men could conceive. But Joseph's interpretation seems simple and obvious: When are cows fat? When there is lots of food. When are they lean? When there's no food. Why could no one else conceive of the same interpretation? And why was Pharaoh so impressed? 3) Pharaoh was also thunderstruck by Joseph's solution to the problem of the famine. But one need not be a rocket scientist to suggest that if you have seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine, you should store food during the time of plenty for the time of hunger. What's the genius in Joseph's advice? This class will explain and highlight Joseph's true brilliance and demonstrate how it remains as relevant as ever to each of us struggling to survive our own private ‘years of famine.' We all experience in our own lives cycles of plenty and cycles of famine. There are times when things are going very well: We are healthy, successful, and comfortable. And there are times of recession and challenges when curveballs come our way. Joseph taught us how to prepare in our years of plenty for our years of famine.

Thanks to Cosmo for suggesting this week's animal, the electric catfish! Further reading: The shocking truth about electric fish Efficient high-voltage protection in the electric catfish Gimme kiss [electric catfish photo from this site]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're finally going to talk about a fish Cosmo wanted us to learn about, the electric catfish! Catfish are really common fish that live throughout the world, except for Antarctica. We've talked about various types of catfish in lots of different episodes, since there are well over 3,000 known species and they're incredibly diverse. The electric catfish lives in freshwater in tropical areas in western and central Africa, as far north as the Nile River. All animals generate electric fields in their nerves and the contracting of muscles. Animals that can sense these fields are called electroreceptive. An electroreceptive animal can find hidden prey without using its other senses. Many electroreceptive animals can also generate weak electrical fields, usually less than a single volt—small electrical pulses or a sort of wave, depending on the species, that can give them information about their environment. Like a dolphin using echolocation, a fish using electro-location can sense where potential prey is, where predators, plants, and rocks are, and can even communicate with other fish of its same species. Of course, those same electric pulses can also attract electroreceptive predators. Some fish can generate an electric shock so strong it can stun or kill other animals. The most famous is the electric eel, which we talked about way back in episode 10, but the electric catfish falls in this category too. The electric catfish isn't a single species but several in the family Malapteruridae. Some are very small, but one grows as much as four feet long, or 1.2 meters, and can weigh over 50 lbs, or 23 kg. That's Malapterurus electricus, THE electric catfish. The electric catfish is grayish-brown mottled with black spots. Like a lot of catfish, it's a cylinder-shaped chonk, and has three pairs of barbels around its broad mouth. Barbels are the feelers that give the catfish its name, because they look sort of like a cat's whiskers. Sort of. Not actually very much like a cat's whiskers. The electric catfish also has what look like surprisingly kissy lips, which are often pale in color so they stand out, especially when the mouth is open, which is frankly hilarious. It doesn't have a dorsal fin and it's not a fast swimmer. It spends most of its time lurking in rocky areas in muddy, slow-moving water. It's also nocturnal. The electric catfish eats other fish, although it will also eat pretty much anything it can swallow. It likes muddy water because it doesn't want potential prey to see it, and of course it doesn't want any potential predators to see it either. That includes humans, who consider it a delicacy. Humans also sometimes keep electric catfish as aquarium fish, which is sort of the opposite of being killed and eaten. Contracting a muscle causes a tiny, tiny electrical impulse, as I mentioned earlier, but in electric fish certain muscles have developed the ability to generate much stronger electrical impulses. Instead of muscles, they're called electric organs. The interesting thing is that this is only found in fish, but that the ability evolved separately at least six times in different lineages of fish. The electric catfish uses its ability to generate electric shocks as a defense when it needs to, but mainly it uses it to stun or outright kill other fish, which it then gulps down. It can discharge up to 300 volts of electricity in pulses that last only a few milliseconds, but since it can generate up to 500 pulses in waves, that's a lot of electricity. That's not enough to kill a person, but you'd definitely feel it and try to get away. But,
Lara and Carey are back with another trip down Old Testament lane, this time venturing into the dour and c*nty splendor of the Book of Exodus. First they discuss the LDS Church buying up farmland as Climate Change looms; Larz and Carz each pitch themselves for a spot on a hypothetical, post-apocalyptic commune. Back on The Bible, Exodus begins with Moses thwarting death after being discovered by Pharaoh's daughter, floating in an escape basket on the Nile River. Moses, quasi-adopted by the Egyptian royal family, is raised with virtually no knowledge of the suffering his true people endure. But as he reaches adulthood, one unplanned murder of an Egyptian guard sends Moses fleeing into the desert, where he marries and is eventually visited by God in his drag persona (a burning bush). The Almighty demands a reluctant Moses return to Egypt, arming Mo' with a supernatural shock and awe campaign to bring Pharaoh to his knees, lead the Israelites out of slavery and into the Promised Land, and transcribe the Ten Commandments -- plus some of God's psycho gay interior design plans.

Exodus 2: A Reflection on God's Deliverance and Preparation Summary of the Chapter: Exodus 2 tells the story of Moses' early life, focusing on God's providence and His preparation for the deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt. The chapter can be divided into three key sections: 1.Moses' Birth and Rescue (Exodus 2:1-10): A Hebrew woman gives birth to a son during a time of severe oppression, where Pharaoh had decreed that all male Hebrew infants should be killed. In an act of faith and courage, the mother hides her son for three months and later places him in a basket on the Nile River. Pharaoh's daughter discovers the baby, has compassion on him, and adopts him, naming him Moses. His sister, Miriam, cleverly arranges for their mother to nurse him, allowing Moses to maintain a connection with his heritage. 2.Moses' Escape to Midian (Exodus 2:11-22): As an adult, Moses witnesses the suffering of his people. After killing an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave, he flees to Midian to escape Pharaoh's wrath. In Midian, Moses defends the daughters of a priest named Reuel (Jethro) from shepherds and is invited to stay with their family. He marries one of the daughters, Zipporah, and starts a new life as a shepherd. 3.God's Compassion and Covenant (Exodus 2:23-25): The chapter closes with the Israelites crying out to God because of their suffering in Egypt. God hears their groaning, remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and begins to prepare for their deliverance. Themes and Lessons from Exodus 2 1.God's Sovereignty and Providence: Despite Pharaoh's oppressive decree, God's plan prevails. Moses' survival and eventual adoption by Pharaoh's daughter demonstrate how God works through unexpected means to accomplish His purposes. Even in dire circumstances, God provides protection and resources for His people. 2.Faith and Courage of Ordinary People: The faith of Moses' mother and the courage of his sister, Miriam, highlight the vital role of individuals in God's redemptive plan. They acted with wisdom and bravery to protect Moses, showing that ordinary people can make extraordinary contributions through faith and obedience. 3.Preparation for Leadership: Moses' journey reflects a period of preparation. His time in Pharaoh's palace equipped him with knowledge of Egyptian culture and governance, while his time in Midian taught him humility, patience, and the skills of a shepherd—qualities essential for leading Israel. 4.God's Compassion and Faithfulness: The cries of the Israelites did not go unnoticed. God's remembrance of His covenant reminds us of His faithfulness to His promises. He sees, hears, and responds to the suffering of His people. Application for Today 1.Trust in God's Timing: Like Moses, we may go through seasons of waiting and preparation. These periods are not wasted but are used by God to shape us for the purposes He has for us. 2.Act with Faith and Courage: The actions of Moses' family remind us that our small acts of faith can have profound impacts. Even when the odds seem overwhelming, we are called to trust in God and act with courage. 3.God Sees and Responds: When we face trials and cry out to God, we can trust that He hears us and will act in His perfect timing, as He did for the Israelites. 4.God's Plans Are Bigger Than Ours: Moses' story shows that God's plans often unfold in ways we don't expect. We must remain faithful and obedient, trusting that He is at work even when we don't see the full picture. Conclusion Exodus 2 is a powerful reminder of God's providence, faithfulness, and preparation. Through Moses' life, we see how God raises up leaders, works through faithful individuals, and fulfills His promises. It invites us to trust in His sovereignty and be courageous participants in His plan for deliverance and restoration.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

There is an old saying that da Nile isn't just a river in Egypt. That is true. It is also a river in Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda. The Nile is the longest river in the world, yet it is one of the smallest major rivers in the world. Historically, some of the world's greatest civilizations have depended on it, and today it is still a source of conflict between countries that depend on it for water and power.

We'll explore the Hall of Two Truths, where the souls of the deceased were judged by the gods. Discover the significance of moral behavior and the eternal consequences of one's actions.Tune in to The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour and YouTube Channel @billholt8792 to uncover the secrets of the ancient Egyptian underworld.What do you think happens to our souls after death? Share your thoughts in the comments below!#AncientEgypt, #Afterlife, #EgyptianMythology, #SoulJourney, #SpiritualExploration, #Podcast, #YouTube",The Egyptian Triad: Osiris, Isis, and Horus The Egyptian mythology surrounding the gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus is central to the understanding of life, death, and rebirth in ancient Egyptian culture. Osiris: The Divine King Osiris, the god of the afterlife, was often depicted as a green-skinned deity with a beard. He was the ideal pharaoh, a just and benevolent ruler. However, he was murdered by his jealous brother, Seth. Isis: The Divine Mother Isis, the goddess of motherhood, magic, and healing, was the wife and sister of Osiris. She mourned her husband's death and sought to restore him to life. Through her divine powers and unwavering love, she was able to reassemble Osiris's dismembered body and bring him back to life, albeit in the underworld. Horus: The Divine Son Horus, the falcon-headed god, was the son of Osiris and Isis. He avenged his father's murder by defeating Seth and becoming the rightful ruler of Egypt. Horus symbolized the rising sun and the triumph of good over evil. The Myth of Osiris and Isis The myth of Osiris and Isis is a powerful allegory for the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. Osiris's murder and resurrection symbolize the death and rebirth of vegetation, the cycle of the Nile River, and the eternal return of the sun. The story of Horus's birth and victory over Seth represents the triumph of order over chaos and the hope for a new beginning. This myth provided comfort and hope to the ancient Egyptians, assuring them that death was not the end but a transition to another realm. How does the concept of the Hall of Two Truths relate to modern concepts of karma and reincarnation?

Some rivers around the world are even more dangerous than the Amazon! First, there's the Congo River in Africa, with its terrifyingly deep waters and strong currents that could sweep away even large boats. Then there's the Nile River, which might seem calm in parts but has deadly crocodiles and hippos ready to defend their territory. The Mississippi River in the United States can look peaceful, but it has strong currents, hidden whirlpools, and frequent floods that make it hazardous. Over in Asia, the Yangtze River is another risky river with sudden floods and currents that have taken countless lives. And finally, the Mekong River, stretching through multiple countries, is filled with underwater hazards and giant catfish that could rival anything in a scary river story! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

From the Nile River to the Burning Bush, Moses foreshadows Jesus in many ways. But we also see how limited he was as a man. Thankfully there is a Greater Moses who succeeded where Moses failed.
In this message, Pastor James takes us through the story of Moses and the first nine plagues in Egypt, beginning with the Nile River turning to blood. Using historical and geographical context, James explains the significance of the Nile to the Egyptians and why it was chosen as the site for God's demonstration of power. Pastor James focuses on the confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh as the plagues escalate, starting with the first plague of turning the Nile to blood. He highlights how Pharaoh continually hardens his heart, even as each plague reveals God's power. He draws practical application by challenging listeners to examine their own resistance to God's work in their lives, comparing Pharaoh's stubbornness to our tendency to cling to earthly comforts and security. He emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning toward God when confronted with areas of control or sin. The message concludes with a reminder that God's goal is for His people to worship Him and make His name known throughout the world.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.Sarah Davis was a corporate risk manager who began to chafe at the limitations on her life.Sure, she had a safe job and a comfortable income. She ran marathons (3:38 PR — damn!) and was living the dream in Bondi, Australia.But something was missing.When Sarah interrogated herself, she realized that she wasn't living as big or as bold as she wanted.Did risk management always have to be about minimizing risk at all cost? Or could the principles of risk management inform and guide actual risk taking?Could she use her professional skill set in tandem with her experience in surf sea kayaking and her love of travel and her pursuit of novelty to do something big and bold and amazing?In our conversation, we talk about the life lessons learned as she became the first woman to paddle the Nile River from its headwaters in Rwanda all the way to the Nile Delta in Egypt.I hope you're inspired to step outside of any comfort zones that have got you stuck. I hope you're inspired to identify a passion project and pursue it.

Just like the power of the Nile RIver flowing across thousands of miles of land, an idea is born in a small, unassuming, rural village in Bulike, Uganda. An idea that contains the power to change the future of thousands of people's lives. Today you'll hear the story of Dr Ronald Kaluya, a man on a mission. A man with a deep faith focused on empowering and bringing light and love to a community that only a decade ago was ensconced in witchcraft, preventable deaths, and darkness.
WHY BLOOD? Scott Wright Anyone who has studied the Bible at all is very familiar with “ten plagues” that Moses called down on Egypt. These plagues are what convinced the Pharaoh to release the Israelites. The very first plague was turning the Nile River into a river of blood. Why Blood? That is what we will be discussing today with our good friend, Scott Wright. Scott is back today and is bringing his wealth of knowledge and insight into this profound topic. Scott's ministry offers interpretations that span history, theology, and prophecy. Every time he comes on – I know I learn a lot and I know that you do as well… amen! Having said all of that, help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, welcome back! So, WHY would God want to turn the Nile River into blood? I mean, “Why BLOOD?” I've seen a “red tide” of algae before… that basically chokes out the oxygen in the water. Then the fish die and start washing up on the shore, etc. Is this what happened to the Nile… let's just say, “in the natural?” Maybe the people of that area “thought” it was blood because of the color? I've seen reports that some “experts” said all of this was just a natural occurrence of cascading events… 1. The red algae looks like blood and lowers the oxygen content. 2. Frogs leave the water. 3. Dead fish and now dead frogs bring the flies. 4. The flies bring the lice. 5. The they now affect the livestock. 6. People are affected, bitten which cause boils. 7. A huge thunderstorm hits the area with hail, etc. 8. The locusts are blown in on the wind. 9. Possible volcanic eruption blows ash into the atmosphere, blocking the sun… 10. The young, new born babies are affected by the small dust particles which causes them to have trouble breathing…and since they were all affected over the same time period (while the dust cloud blocked the sun), they all died at the same time… But all of this DID NOT affect the Israelites! How does all of this relate to or point to Christ? How does all of this relate to the “End Times” in which we now are on the precipice of entering? Scott, this is so interesting. As usual, we are up against the clock. If someone has a question or would like to reach out to you for more information – or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put that information in the show notes below. Folks, the “Ten Plagues” as recorded in the Bible DID happen. There is no doubt about that. Were they a “natural occurrence” with no input from God? I doubt it… God could have – and did - use nature to bring these events into play. But WHY? The Bible is very clear on that answer – to FORCE Pharoah to “Let God's people go.” Not just let them go – but pay them 400 years of back wages, too! Amen! Drop down into the show notes, click the links right there and get in touch with Scott Wright. Let him know you appreciate this information he shares. Amen!

Today, it’s hard not to know the time. Your phone, your TV, your car, and scads of other devices give you the time, accurate to a tiny fraction of a second. But in ages past, telling time wasn’t that easy – especially at night. Fortunately, nature provided a decent nighttime “clock”: the stars. The location of certain stars at different times of year told skywatchers the time of night. A prime example of how that worked comes from ancient Egypt. The Egyptian day was divided into 24 hours – a system passed along into modern times. Daytime and nighttime each consisted of 12 hours, regardless of the time of year. So the length of an “hour” varied between night and day, and from season to season. The nighttime hours were marked by prominent stars. The gap between either the setting times or rising times of two of these stars marked an hour. And each star “reigned” for about 10 days before the next one took its place. So the Egyptian year was divided into 10-day “weeks,” known as decans – 36 in all. An extra five days were added to the end of the year, bringing the calendar to 365 days. The year began with the first dawn appearance of the star Sirius, the brightest star in all the night sky. It marked the start of the annual flooding of the Nile River, which brought renewed life to the fields – an event marked by the “ticking” of the starry clock. Script by Damond Benningfield
