Escrever no escuro: Tânia Ganho, a linguagem e o dever de olhar Há escritores que procuram a luz. Outros preferem começar no escuro. Não por gosto do choque, mas porque sabem que há zonas da experiência humana que só se tornam visíveis quando se abdica do conforto. A escrita de Tânia Ganho pertence claramente a este segundo grupo. Ao longo da conversa no Pergunta Simples, torna-se evidente que não se trata de uma escolha estética nem de uma estratégia narrativa. É uma posição ética: escrever é olhar para aquilo que existe, mesmo quando é incómodo, perturbador ou socialmente evitado. Nos seus livros — e no modo como fala deles — a literatura não surge como refúgio, mas como instrumento de análise. Ganho escreve sobre violência, abuso, maternidade falhada, infância em risco, sistemas de justiça imperfeitos. Não para moralizar. Não para oferecer respostas simples. Mas para tornar visível uma complexidade que tende a ser empurrada para fora do discurso público. A escrita como trabalho — e não como epifania Um dos pontos mais consistentes da conversa é a recusa da ideia romântica do escritor inspirado. A escrita, diz Ganho, é trabalho. Trabalho disciplinado, solitário, muitas vezes árido. Há momentos de fluxo, mas são exceção. O essencial acontece sentado, a cortar, reescrever, eliminar palavras, escolher sinónimos, testar frases até ao limite. Este rigor não é preciosismo. É resistência. Num tempo em que a linguagem se acelera, se empobrece e se uniformiza — em parte pela delegação crescente da escrita em ferramentas automáticas — insistir na escolha exata das palavras é um ato deliberado de diferenciação humana. A preocupação com a inteligência artificial atravessa a conversa não como alarme tecnofóbico, mas como constatação prática. Na tradução literária, onde Ganho trabalha há décadas, as ferramentas automáticas já produzem resultados aceitáveis ao nível estrutural. O problema está noutro lugar: o vocabulário limitado, a previsibilidade sintática, a perda de nuance. A língua funciona, mas deixa de pensar. Escrever, neste contexto, torna-se também um gesto de defesa da linguagem como espaço de liberdade e não apenas de eficiência. Traduzir é recriar — e assumir a imperfeição A tradução literária surge como um dos campos mais reveladores da conversa. Longe da ideia de equivalência perfeita, Ganho insiste num princípio clássico da teoria da tradução: toda a tradução é, por definição, imperfeita. E é precisamente por isso que exige criatividade. Traduzir trocadilhos, humor, ambiguidades culturais implica reconstruir, adaptar, escolher. Às vezes, mudar nomes de personagens secundárias. Às vezes, sacrificar a literalidade para salvar o efeito. É um trabalho que combina técnica e intuição, fidelidade e traição controlada. Esta visão coloca a tradução no centro da criação literária, e não na sua periferia. Tradutores não são mediadores invisíveis: são autores de segunda ordem, responsáveis por decisões que moldam profundamente a experiência de leitura. Ler devagar num mundo rápido A leitura ocupa um lugar central no pensamento de Tânia Ganho — não apenas como hábito pessoal, mas como prática social ameaçada. Ler exige tempo, concentração, disponibilidade emocional. Exige parar. E parar tornou-se uma raridade. Ao longo da conversa, surge uma defesa clara do direito de abandonar livros, de mudar de leitura conforme a fase da vida, de aceitar que nem todos os textos servem todos os leitores em todos os momentos. Longe do moralismo cultural, esta abordagem devolve à leitura uma dimensão viva e plural. Nesse contexto, livreiros, bibliotecários e clubes de leitura ganham uma importância renovada. São mediadores num mercado saturado, curadores num mar de títulos, guias num tempo de excesso de escolha e escassez de atenção. Violência contra crianças: o que preferimos não ver O momento mais duro da conversa surge quando Ganho fala de violência doméstica e sexual sobre crianças. Não como abstração, mas como realidade recorrente. A referência direta ao trabalho da Polícia Judiciária — e à frequência com que são detidos abusadores — desmonta a ilusão de excecionalidade. A dificuldade social, sublinha, está em aceitar que o mal não se apresenta sempre como monstruoso. Pode ser bem-vestido, integrado, respeitável. Essa dissonância cognitiva leva muitas vezes à negação, ao silêncio, à recusa de olhar. É aqui que a literatura assume, para Ganho, uma função insubstituível: obrigar à atenção prolongada. Não ao choque momentâneo, mas à compreensão lenta. Um romance não resolve o problema, mas pode criar consciência. Pode alterar comportamentos marginais — como a exposição excessiva de crianças nas redes sociais — e introduzir dúvida onde antes havia automatismo. Imagem, verdade e desconfiança A conversa cruza ainda fotografia, vídeo e tecnologia. Num mundo em que imagens podem ser manipuladas com facilidade crescente, a relação com a verdade visual degrada-se. Já não sabemos se uma fotografia documenta ou simula. Se um vídeo regista ou inventa. Esta erosão da confiança tem consequências profundas, não apenas mediáticas, mas morais. Se tudo pode ser falso, tudo pode ser descartado. A resposta proposta não é paranoia, mas discernimento: parar, verificar, desconfiar com método. Mais uma vez, a leitura surge como treino essencial. Ler ensina a lidar com ambiguidade, a sustentar atenção, a adiar julgamentos. Competências cada vez mais raras — e cada vez mais necessárias. Escrever para não se afundar No final da conversa, a escrita surge também como estratégia de sobrevivência. O livro dedicado ao pai, escrito após a sua morte, não é um exercício de luto terapêutico simplista. É uma tentativa de reorganizar o mundo depois da perda, de reconstruir camadas identitárias, de encontrar equilíbrio entre memória e continuidade. Humor, dança, desporto, isolamento voluntário: são estratégias práticas para lidar com a carga emocional de quem passa a vida a investigar o sofrimento humano. Não há romantização da dor. Há gestão consciente da tensão. A literatura como exercício de responsabilidade O que atravessa toda a conversa com Tânia Ganho é uma ideia simples e exigente: a literatura não serve para nos proteger do mundo. Serve para nos preparar para ele. Escrever, ler, traduzir, pensar — tudo isto exige tempo, atenção e coragem. Num espaço mediático dominado pela reação imediata e pela simplificação, essa exigência pode parecer anacrónica. Mas talvez seja precisamente por isso que se tornou indispensável. No Pergunta Simples, esta conversa não oferece respostas fáceis. Oferece algo mais raro: ferramentas para pensar melhor. E, num tempo como o nosso, isso já é uma forma de resistência.

Reading through Luke 2:1-38, we see both God's provision as well as his restraint in the events surrounding the birth of the Messiah. Instead of cluing in the elite and powerful, he worked through shepherds and the elderly to confirm Jesus's destiny to Joseph and Mary. God delights to work with the ordinary to do the extraordinary! Luke 2:1-5 Mary had learned that her child would not be an ordinary boy, he would sit on the throne of David (Luke 1:30-33). Nevertheless, she had to follow the laws of the land, which included traveling while pregnant to be counted in the census. Luke 2:6-7 Ancient houses typically had a space for animals on the first floor. A “manger” is a feeding trough. These were not ideal circumstances from a health and sanitation perspective, yet everything went well. Luke 2:8-12 These shepherds were probably bored watching their flock by night. Seeing an angel and hearing him announce the birth of the Messiah must have been quite the shock! Luke 2:13-14 I get the impression that the angels were bursting with joy at the baby announcement. Rather than keeping it a secret (Luke 9:20-21), they blasted out the good news that the Messiah had been born. Luke 2:15-20 After they found Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in Bethlehem, they recounted what happened, which must have affirmed Joseph and Mary's confidence that this baby really was who they thought he was. Luke 2:21-24 Joseph and Mary followed the commandments of the Torah, including circumcising the child on the eighth day (Lev 12:3), offering the sacrifice for purification on the 40th day (Lev 12:6-8), and paying the redemption fee for a firstborn son (Exod 13:13-15; Num 3:47). Luke 2:25-38 Simeon and Anna confirmed, once again, that this baby was special. He would bring a light to the Gentiles and glory to Israel.

The Suffering of the Apostle Paul      The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7).      Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11      The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1).      Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith      There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4).      These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys.      Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials.      Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1]      The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness.      God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10).      From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

Old Testament scholar Dr. John Whitcomb teaches us about "Christmas in the Pentateuch" here on "Encounter God's Truth," taking us to passages such as the following: Gen. 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 49:10; Num. 24:17-19; Deut. 18:15-22; Ezek. 21:27; and John 1:9-12. Our teacher will show us that the setting for Christmas goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when God first promised a Savior. We trust that this unique lesson will help you think Biblically about the prophetic significance of Christ's birth and ministry now as the Christmas season unfolds. Host Wayne Shepherd then inquires of Dr. Whitcomb as to the fulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies of Christ's coming from John chapter one. As you celebrate our Lord's incarnation this year, remember that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Merry Christmas!

Neste assalto à Idolátrica, fomos tomando embalo e o pior hálito que nos foi possível conjurar recitando algumas das piores passagens ou sinais destes anos putrescentes, mas também com aquela divina rudeza e confiança de quem sabe que há mais vida nos pântanos do que nas alturas. No fundo, estamos tomados dessa convicção de que, mesmo se nos deixassem a falar sozinhos, continuaríamos como até aqui, afinal, “para quem escrevemos senão para os mortos omniscientes no pó”, e mesmo reunindo ânimo entre ruínas, restos. Nisto como em tantas outras coisas, aproveitamo-nos do uso que Müller faz do conceito de história, rejeitando a posição do cronista, mas também a do filósofo, e preferindo a do poeta. Não se trata de contar o que se passou, como se passou, nem de procurar enunciar ou retirar uma lição. Como assinala Eva Brenner, trata-se de confrontar “a sua audiência com enunciados, imagens e cenas montadas, justapostas para desmistificar a história. Ao destruir o acto de contar histórias – a explosão do continuum temporal e das suas conexões causais – ele procura afastar o horror do imutável". O gesto poético é então, de certa maneira, esse jogo de fragmentos, a aposta numa incompletude radical que confronta o leitor ou o espectador com a desolação da catástrofe, que os atrai para a ruína desafiando-os a tentar escutar “o renovado zumbido de poderosas asas”. Isto é, a verdadeira experiência histórica só poderá ser a do que se abre ao poema e que dele tenta produzir um sentido, que o completa. A ferramenta do poeta, para Müller, é a memória – “desenterrar os mortos uma e outra vez” – e a utilização, tanto política quanto poética, que faz dela. Num tempo em que todos falam a mesma língua, manipulada, adulterada, pobre e vazia de conteúdo, é importante assinalar as vezes que forem precisas que “a linguagem é mais do que sangue” (Franz Rosenzweig). Ao contrário do que diz a frase de Talleyrand, tantas vezes papagueada, a linguagem não existe para ocultar o pensamento, para que as pessoas ardilosas possam manipular os outros, apenas os papalvos não percebem como a linguagem, na verdade, nos denuncia, e acaba por apontar precisamente aquilo que desejamos ocultar, seja de nós próprios ou dos outros. Tantas vezes a expressão de convicções terríveis, a colagem aos discursos odiosos, não passa de uma forma de certas pessoas procurarem suprir os equívocos, lacunas e incertezas de formações que deixam tanto a desejar. Essas frases de ordem repetidas em tom de declamação, fáceis de decorar e ocas de conteúdo, ou cujo o único sentido é provocar irritação, são a reivindicação de uma participação política por parte daqueles que nunca se deram ao trabalho de pensar como o horror se transmite a partir do momento em que a banalidade se serve dele para coçar o seu tédio. A linguagem fascista não procura estimular nem o pensamento nem a imaginação, mas apenas criar divisões, confundir tudo. A linguagem deixa de ser uma aventura, sendo que, como vinca Steiner, uma linguagem viva é a maior aventura de que o cérebro humano é capaz. Mas uma linguagem que deixa de ser vivida, e é apenas falada, permite introduzir o horror como um elemento constante do nosso quotidiano. Uma das primeiras punições contra os judeus na Alemanha nazi passou por proibi-los de frequentar as bibliotecas. De algum modo, os fascismos actuais também procuram vingar-se daqueles que se exprimem em línguas que arrastam uma série de memórias, que não servem apenas para assinalar a devastação interior desses outros que tão desastradamente as falam. A repetição sistemática de mentiras só pode deturpar a realidade se primeiro for feito um esforço de desvirtuar as palavras, empobrecer os conceitos. Como recorda Victor Klemperer, o nazismo embrenhou-se na carne e no sangue das massas por meio dessas palavras, expressões e frases deturpadas e impostas pela repetição, milhares de vezes, até serem aceites inconsciente e mecanicamente. “As palavras podem ser como minúsculas doses de arsénico: são engolidas de forma despercebida e aparentam ser inofensivas; passado um tempo, o efeito do veneno faz-se notar.” Este mesmo clima de indiferença, de relativismo absoluto, impregna hoje os debates públicos, as conversas íntimas. É raro contactarmos com esses discursos que nos fazem regressar à língua, essa língua por detrás da qual, dispersa, fraca e de algum modo doente, resiste uma paixão de quem anseia curar-se de todo este veneno. E se os anúncios que nos cercam e moem os nervos são anúncios de nada, se são cada vez mais constantes esses elementos venenosos que infectam os idiomas, que autorizam a maior violência a coberto de todas as distracções e da indiferença geral, se mesmos os artistas e pensadores não exprimem nada que signifique um verdadeiro risco, vimos lembrar este poeta e dramaturgo que em vida se ocupou-se de baralhar os tempos, navegando pelos seus rios de sangue e violência. A narrativa que pôde compor apresenta-se-nos hoje como uma espécie de mapa apócrifo, desnivelado no tempo e no espaço, frágil, em permanente recomposição, cheio de encontros sórdidos entre ruínas, ao mesmo tempo que dedicou o seu melhor esforço, uma disponibilidade impetuosa, a resgatar os mortos, essa “outra metade do real”, para uma conversa infinita e indispensável. Assim, lembramos como os últimos artistas entre nós são os criminosos. Os únicos que ainda preservam o seu ânimo feroz e à margem da compulsão mais ordinária, dos ditados, da moral. Estes preservam o desejo, a radicalidade e o risco. “Não há nada de mais imoral do que roubar sem riscos”, vincou Albert Cossery. “É o risco que nos diferencia dos banqueiros e dos seus émulos que praticam o roubo legalizado com a cobertura do governo.” Também a arte não encerra já qualquer desafio, não afina instintos ulteriores inclinados sobre a depravação. Qual desses artistas por aí tão celebrados é ainda capaz de causar-nos calafrios? Que ameaça resiste nessas obras e peças, performances, manifestos? Tudo serve apenas para aliviar a repugnância que sentimos por nós próprios. Não passam de antidepressivos, de formas de nos exceptuarmos das evidências da degradação e do desastre que consumiu tudo. Assim, e seguindo o repto de Müller, marcamos encontro com o seu espectro. Desta feita, a dupla da casa rumou a Braga para a gravação de um episódio ao vivo, desta vez com um dos líderes da conspiração vampírica nesse bastião da beataria, Adolfo Luxúria Canibal, poeta, tradutor (entre outros, de Müller), letrista e vocalista do grupo Mão Morta.

Quando a comunicação deixa de ser talento e passa a ser trabalho Há pessoas que parecem ter nascido com presença. Quando falam, o silêncio organiza-se à volta delas. Quando entram numa sala, sentimos qualquer coisa mudar. A tentação é chamar a isso carisma. Ou talento. Ou dom. A conversa com Diogo Infante desmonta essa ideia logo à partida. Antes da presença houve timidez. Antes da voz segura houve dificuldade em falar. Antes do palco houve desajuste, deslocação, a sensação de não pertencer completamente ao sítio onde se estava. O teatro não surgiu como ambição, mas como solução. Uma forma de aprender a comunicar quando comunicar não era natural. Um lugar onde a palavra podia ser ensaiada, onde o corpo podia ganhar confiança, onde o erro não era um fim — era parte do processo. Talvez por isso a noção de presença apareça nesta conversa de forma tão concreta. Não como algo abstrato, mas como um estado físico e relacional. Presença é perceber se o outro está connosco. Presença é sentir quando uma frase chega — ou quando cai no vazio. E esse vazio, quando acontece, dói. Não por vaidade. Mas porque revela uma falha de ligação. Há um momento particularmente revelador: quando fala do silêncio do público. Não o silêncio atento, mas aquele silêncio inesperado, quando uma deixa cómica não provoca riso. “Aquilo dói na alma”, diz. E nessa frase está tudo o que importa saber sobre comunicação: falar é sempre um risco. O outro não é cenário. É parte ativa do que está a acontecer. A conversa avança e entra na exposição pública. Aqui, Diogo Infante faz uma distinção interessante: entre a pessoa privada e a figura pública. Não como máscara, mas como responsabilidade. Há um “chip” que se ativa — uma disciplina interna que permite aguentar expectativas, projeções, rótulos. A maturidade está em não confundir esse papel com a verdade interior. É uma ideia útil num tempo em que confundimos visibilidade com autenticidade. Falamos também de televisão, cinema, teatro. Dos ritmos diferentes. Das exigências técnicas. Mas a ideia central mantém-se: a verdade não depende do meio. Depende da intenção. Comunicar para milhões não dispensa rigor. Simplificar não é empobrecer. Outro ponto forte da conversa é a vulnerabilidade. Num espaço público cada vez mais dominado por certezas rápidas e discursos blindados, assumir fragilidade continua a ser um gesto arriscado. Mas aqui a vulnerabilidade surge como força tranquila. Como forma de aproximação. Como autoridade que não precisa de se impor. Quando a conversa entra no território da família, tudo ganha outra densidade. Dizer “amo-te”. Pedir desculpa. Estar disponível. A comunicação íntima aparece como o verdadeiro teste. Se falhamos aí, o resto é técnica. E só técnica não chega. No plano mais largo, surge a pergunta maior: para que serve a arte num tempo acelerado, ruidoso, polarizado? A resposta não vem em tom grandioso. Vem simples: para nos salvar. Não salvar o mundo. Salvar-nos a nós. Da pressa. Do cinismo. Da incapacidade de escutar. No fim, fica uma conclusão exigente: a presença não é talento — é trabalho. A comunicação não é performance — é relação. E a verdade, quando existe, dá sempre algum trabalho a dizer. Talvez seja por isso que esta conversa não é apenas sobre teatro. É sobre como falamos, como ouvimos e como estamos uns com os outros. E isso, hoje, é tudo menos simples. LER A TRANSCRIÇÃO DO EPISÓDIO Esta transcrição foi gerada automaticamente. A sua exatidão pode variar. 0:00 Abertura do Episódio e a Angústia do Impostor Muitos de nós temos o síndroma de um impostor. Achamos sempre que que somos uma fraude, que na verdade, estamos só a replicar uma mentira. Não estamos a ser suficientemente verdadeiros ou estamos a repetir um padrão de comportamento que já fizemos. Achamos sempre que não estamos à altura do desafio. 0:15 É muito doloroso. É por isso que as pessoas acham que isso ser ator é. É maravilhoso, mas é um processo de grande angústia, angústia criativa, porque estamos perante a expetativa. Tu já estás a pensar aí, a peça do do clube dos poetas mortos, e eu e eu começo a pensar, AI, meu Deus, se aquilo for uma merda, o que é que eu faço, não é? 0:44 Pessoa 2 Ora, digam bem vindos ao pergunta simples, o vosso podcast sobre comunicação? Hoje conversamos com alguém que encontrou no palco não apenas uma profissão, mas uma espécie de casa interior. Diogo Infante contou me que na infância começou pela timidez e pelo desajuste, por aquela sensação de ser observado, de ser o lisboeta gozado no Algarve, de não ter ainda um lugar onde a voz encaixasse e que foi o teatro que lhe deu essa linguagem, a presença e, nas palavras dele, uma forma de se adaptar ao mundo. 1:13 À medida que foi crescendo como artista, veio uma outra descoberta. É de que existe um chip, uma espécie de mecanismo, um parafuso que se ativa quando ele entra no modo figura pública. Um mecanismo de responsabilidade, de expectativa e, às vezes, de peso. 1:30 Mas o mais interessante veio quando falou do silêncio do público, do que acontece quando diz uma frase que ele sabe que devia provocar o riso. E ninguém reage. Esta frase diz tudo sobre a comunicação. O público não é cenário, é organismo vivo, é uma reação em tempo real, é a energia que mexe connosco. 1:48 E é essa conversão entre a técnica e a vida, palco, intimidade, presença e vulnerabilidade que atravessa a conversa de hoje. Falamos do medo de falhar, daquele perfeccionismo que vive colado na pele dos artistas e que o Diogo conhece tão bem. Falamos da comunicação dentro de casa, da importância de dizer. 2:06 Gosto de ti ao filho do valor de pedir desculpa do que se aprende ao representar os outros e do que se perde quando acreditamos demasiado na imagem que o público tem de nós. E falamos dessa ideia luminosa que ele repete com ternura. A arte no fim existe para nos salvar da dureza do mundo, da dureza dos outros e, às vezes, da dureza que guardamos para nós próprios. 2:28 Esta é, portanto, uma conversa sobre teatro, mas não só. É, sobretudo uma conversa sobre. Comunicação humana sobre como nos mostramos, como nos escondemos, como nos ouvimos e como nos reconstruímos. Se eu gostar desta conversa, partilhe, deixe o comentário e volte na próxima semana. 2:44 E agora, minhas senhoras e meus senhores. Diogo Infante, Diogo Infante, ponto. Não tem mais nada para dizer. UI é só isto, Diogo Infante. 2:56 Como a Timidez Moldou o Caminho para o Palco Diogo Infante, ator, encenador. Quando eu disse que que IA conversar contigo, que IA ter o privilégio de conversar contigo, uma minha amiga disse, Ah, diz lhe que eu gostei muito do do sirano de bergerak. E eu pensei, mas isso já passou algum tempo? Sim, sim, mas eu continuo. Adorei aquela peça, deixar a marca das pessoas. 3:13 É isso que tu fazes todos os dias. 3:15 Pessoa 1 É isso que eu tento, se consigo umas vezes mais, outras vezes menos, antes mais. Olá, como estás? Muito obrigado por este convite. Sim, eu, eu, eu tento comunicar. Se é esse o tema. Acho que percebi cedo que tinha dificuldade em comunicar. 3:35 Era muito tímido, tinha dificuldade em em em fazer me ouvir, tu sabes. 3:41 Pessoa 2 Que ninguém acredita nisso? 3:42 Pessoa 1 Mas é verdade, é verdade, é absolutamente verdade. 3:44 Pessoa 2 Como é que é isso? Como é que tu tens? Como é que tu tens? 3:47 Pessoa 1 Dificuldade porque era talvez filho único, porque fui muito cedo para o Algarve e era um meio que me era estranho com um. Um linguajar diferente e eu sentia me deslocado. Eu tinha para aí 11 anos e no início foi difícil e eles olhavam, achavam que eu era Beto e não era nada Beto. 4:03 E falava a lisboeta, e eles gozavam comigo e depois, à medida, fui crescendo. Foi uma adaptação e percebi que representar era algo natural em mim, porque era uma forma de me adaptar ao meio e de conseguir encontrar plataformas de comunicação. 4:20 E quando finalmente expressei que queria ser ator, a minha mãe sorriu porque pensou, estás lixado e pronto. E vim para o conservatório EE. Foi. Foi me natural representar, ou seja, esta ideia de eu assumir um Alter Ego que não sou eu é me fácil. 4:42 Às vezes é mais difícil ser eu própria. 4:45 Pessoa 2 Tu criaste uma capa no fundo que resolve o teu problema, que pelo menos que tu imaginavas como sendo 11 não comunicador, não era um mau comunicador, um não comunicador 11 alguém que tem timidez para para conseguir falar e então toca a pôr a capa de super herói e eu vou superar. 5:00 Todavia, quando eu vejo os teus trabalhos, a última coisa do mundo que o se me ocorre é que tu estás a fingir, porque é que ele tresanda à verdade? Bom, esse é o truque. 5:11 Pessoa 1 Não é? É acreditarmos tão tanto na mentira que ela se torna verdade. Estou a brincar, claro, mas hoje em dia acho que já ultrapassei a minha timidez, mas sempre que tenho que estar aqui, por exemplo, ou tenho que assumir uma persona pública, eu meto um chip. 5:27 É o Diogo Infante que está a falar, não é o Diogo, é o Diogo Infante, é a figura, é pessoa com responsabilidade, com uma carreira, diretor de um teatro que tem. Há uma expectativa, não é? 5:37 Pessoa 2 Isso pesa? 5:38 Pessoa 1 Claro que pesa, claro que pesa. Eu quero dizer a coisa certa. Quer? Quer corresponder às expectativas? Não quer desiludir? Quer que gostem de mim? Bem, isso parece uma terapia. 5:46 Pessoa 2 Estamos todos a fazer isso, não é um. 5:47 Pessoa 1 Bocadinho, acho que sim, então. 5:49 Pessoa 2 E quando é que tu és, Diogo? Só Diogo. 5:51 Pessoa 1 Bom, olha, quando acordo, quando lá ando lá por casa e digo umas asneiras. E quando me desanco com os cães e quando me desanco com o meu filho e não estou a brincar. Ou seja, eu acho que sou eu quando baixo A guarda, quando estou muito à vontade, quando estou rodeado de pessoas que me querem bem, os amigos, a família. 6:08 Não quero com isto dizer que eu seja uma construção. Eu digamos que tornei me uma versão mais polida de mim próprio, porque tenho que passar uma impressão. Tenho que comunicar EE quero controlar o veículo da comunicação. 6:23 Pessoa 2 E controlar a narrativa? Imagino que sim. 6:25 Desafios de Interpretar um Ícone e a Pressão Artística Estás agora, neste exato momento, disse me um passarinho azul a preparar uma peça cujo o título é. O clube dos poetas mortos, ou pelo menos é inspirado nos clubes dos poetas mortos. Não sei se é este o título, é mesmo esse o título? 6:38 Pessoa 1 É o título. 6:39 Pessoa 2 E tu és o professora. 6:40 Pessoa 1 Vou ser o professor ainda. 6:43 Pessoa 2 Há bilhetes para isso? 6:44 Pessoa 1 Sim, o espetáculo só vai estrear no final de abril. Portanto, mas está a voar. Os bilhetes estão a voar a. 6:50 Pessoa 2 Verdade. Como é que é isso? Como é que como é que tu fazes essa personagem mítica do. Do professor que inspira os seus alunos para sair da banalidade e que o sonho é, no fundo, infinito e que devemos conquistá lo? 7:03 Pessoa 1 Olha, eu eu sinto muita empatia por essa personagem, porque eu tento fazer isso na minha esfera de trabalho diária no seja no teatro, seja na televisão. Eu eu acho que é quase uma obrigação. E hoje em dia. Esta mensagem que o filme integra incorpora talvez faça mais sentido do que nunca, num momento em que estamos a assistir a comportamentos extremados na nossa sociedade, em que estamos a regredir relativamente a algumas conquistas EE direitos adquiridos e portanto, esta ideia de não sigas não sejas mais um não sigas, não sejas 11 Carneirinho no meio da manada. 7:43 Assume, te vive a tua verdade faz todo o sentido. E o personagem é tão inspiradora aqui, a dificuldade se quiseres é distanciar me da interpretação icónica do do do Kevin, não é Kevin, AI meu Deus, do Robin Williams, do Robin Williams, coitadinho. 8:00 EE encontrar a personagem em mim, portanto, tenho que fazer a minha própria versão. 8:04 Pessoa 2 Como é que isso se faz? Tu reescreves o texto que te pegas no texto? 8:07 Pessoa 1 Não, não, não. 8:08 Pessoa 2 Não, o texto é aquele. 8:09 Pessoa 1 Não o texto Oo filme faz 30 anos. EOO, argumentista para celebrar os 30 anos, fez uma versão para teatro. Normalmente há peças de teatro que dão filmes. Aqui foi ao contrário, ele próprio escreveu o guião, neste caso, a peça para teatro e Ela Foi feita nos Estados Unidos, em Washington, já foi feita em Paris e Lisboa. 8:30 Vai ser o terceiro país onde ela vai ser interpretada e já teve, já fizemos audições, já temos um elenco de miúdos fantástico e o espetáculo está em preparação e nem sequer estamos em ensaios. Mas a verdade é que já está a gerar imensa expetativa e imensa procura. 8:44 Pessoa 2 Como é que se prepara o que é que até porque tu tens que tocar estes instrumentos todos, não é? Quer dizer, tens, tens que tocar OOO instrumento de de encenador Oo de fazer o casting. Imagino que tenhas também esse tenhas aí uma mão nisso de de ator EE tu dizes me, que já está em preparação, mas ainda não começaram os ensaios. 9:02 Pessoa 1 Os ensaios ainda não começaram, é só só estreia em em abril do ano que vem e. 9:05 Pessoa 2 Começa se a ensaiar quando? 9:06 Pessoa 1 2 meses antes? Neste momento, o que está em preparação foi as audições, foi feito um cartaz, entretanto, já tivemos reuniões com o cenógrafo, com o figurinista, com está se a preparar toda a logística para depois o espetáculo seja montado no fundo é juntar as peças. 9:22 A parte dos ensaios propriamente dita acaba por ser mais divertido para os atores. Mas eu não vou encenar o espetáculo, vou apenas representar, quem vai encenar é o Elder Gamboa. Antes disso, vou eu encenar um espetáculo que começo os ensaios para a semana que é a gaivota do shakhov. 9:37 Que vamos estrear, entretanto, No No Trindade. Com quem? Com o Alexandre lencastre a fazer AA arcadina. Porque está de volta. Está de volta, claro. O teatro, sim, sim. 9:45 Pessoa 2 Bem, isso é 111 grande, uma grande sorte. 9:49 Pessoa 1 Sobretudo depois dela, há 30 anos atrás, ter feito a Nina, que é outro personagem icónico da gaivota, bastante mais novo, a jovem atriz. E ela agora vai fazer a Diva do teatro a arcadina num numa interpretação que eu tenho a certeza que vai ser memorável. 10:03 Pessoa 2 Como é que se encena uma Diva? Como é que se ajudam? 10:05 Pessoa 1 Com muito amor, com muito amor. Não se ensina nada, não é porque ela sabe tudo. Mas é no fundo, instigando, instigando confiança, apoio, dando ânimo. Porque os atores, seja Alexandre ou outro, qualquer grande ator tem muitas dúvidas, tem muitas angústias. 10:24 Pessoa 2 Precisa de mimo? 10:25 Pessoa 1 Sim, muito, até porque nós somos assaltados por. Muitos de nós temos o síndroma de um impetor. Achamos sempre que que somos uma fraude, que na verdade estamos só a replicar uma mentira, não estamos a ser suficientemente verdadeiros ou estamos a repetir um padrão de comportamento que já fizemos. 10:42 Achamos sempre que não estamos à altura do desafio. Eu trabalhei com o Eunice Muñoz e ela também tinha dúvidas, ela também se questionava e, portanto, todos nós passamos por esse processo. Mas isso é doloroso ou não é muito doloroso? É por isso que as pessoas acham que isso ser ator é. É maravilhoso, mas é um processo de grande angústia, angústia criativa, porque estamos perante a expectativa. 11:03 Tu já estás a pensar aí, a peça do do clube dos poetas mortos já está cá em cima. E eu começo a pensar, AI, meu Deus, se aquilo for uma merda, o que é que eu faço? 11:09 Pessoa 2 Não é, mas, mas, mas, mas é legítimo, não é? Quer dizer, repara, eu vi o filme, adorei o filme, claro, eu vejo te a ti. Eu gosto muito do teu trabalho. Juntar estas 2 coisas. Eu digo, não, não pode falhar. 11:19 Pessoa 1 É evidente que não é inocente AA junção desses fatores, mas isso não alivia a responsabilidade que eu sinto nos ombros, eu? E Alexandra e outros atores que têm sentem esse peso. 11:29 Pessoa 2 Mas tu, quando as pessoas entram no teatro, tu já estás ali a ganhar 10 zero. Quer dizer isto, isto não, não é um processo. Virgem eu, não, eu, eu, eu, eu, eu já, eu sentei, me na minha, no meu lugar do teatro, com essa expectativa, mas. Mas. Mas também tem um lado bom que, é claro, tens créditos, claro. 11:47 Pessoa 1 Obviamente, e. E estes anos todos de trabalho e de reconhecimento, dão nos essa, esse crédito e essa confiança. O público compra muitas vezes o bilhete sem saber o que vai. Confia nas nossas escolhas. EE, essa pressão é boa. E repare, eu muitas vezes comparo nos a atletas de alta competição. 12:04 Nós temos que ter aquela performance naquele momento, naquele segundo. É agora que toca, dá o gong e vai. EEE tens que o que é que? 12:13 Pessoa 2 Se sente nesse nesse momento? 12:14 Pessoa 1 Um choque de adrenalina brutal é das coisas que mais nos faz sentir vivos, o momento, a responsabilidade. Mas também bebemos dessa adrenalina e alimentamo nos para poder encarar um espetáculo com 2 horas e chegar ao fim com uma energia vital brutal e o público sair de lá arrebatado preferencialmente. 12:32 Pessoa 2 E não se cansasse no fim. 12:34 Pessoa 1 Passado 1 hora, quando aquilo começa a baixar e chegas a casa. E Tomas um copo de vinho e olhas assim para a televisão e aí dá a quebra. 12:41 Pessoa 2 E que e dói te músculos, dói ou não? 12:43 Pessoa 1 Não, às vezes dói mais a alma, Oo músculo da. 12:46 Pessoa 2 Calma, porquê? 12:47 Pessoa 1 Porque falhaste naquela frase? Porque hesitaste a respiração? Porque não deste a deixa se calhar no timing certo? Nós somos muito críticos. Eu acho que todas as pessoas que têm uma responsabilidade pública, não é? 12:59 A Dinâmica com o Público e Diferenças de Meio Se tu fizeres uma apresentação e te enganares, vais. 13:01 Pessoa 2 É uma, é uma. 13:02 Pessoa 1 Dor é uma dor, sim. Lá está é a mesma coisa. É uma. 13:04 Pessoa 2 Dor, mas é tu és muito perfeccionista na. 13:06 Pessoa 1 Muito, muito, muito. É por isso que eu trabalho com muita antecedência. Sou muito chato. Quero o quero garantir que tudo está preparado para quando o momento, se der, não há. Não há falhas, EEEE. 13:17 Pessoa 2 E esse diálogo com o público, porque tu estás em cima de um palco, mas tu estás a respirar com o mesmo público. Como é que é? Como é que é essa comunicação? Porque ela não flui só. Do palco para o lado de cá, não é? Quer dizer. Para o outro lado também também a maneira como nós nos rimos, como como aplaudimos, como nos distraímos, sim. 13:36 Pessoa 1 Sim, tudo interfere. E é por isso que nós dizemos, cada cada dia é um dia diferente. Cada espetáculo é diferente conforme o público. O público muda e é o público. Esse coletivo, naquele dia, forma uma espécie de um organismo. Como pulsar próprio com uma respiração própria, umas vezes são mais agitados, outras vezes são mais calmos, umas vezes são mais reativos, outras vezes são mais introspectivos e eles emanam uma energia e nós estando no palco, sentimo la mas mas física é palpável, é algo que dizemos bem, isto hoje UI não estão a sentir e às vezes é uma carga. 14:09 Pessoa 2 Mas isso é uma angústia, essa que deve ser uma angústia. 14:11 Pessoa 1 Sim, às vezes é boa, às vezes é. É uma expectativa. 14:14 Pessoa 2 Boa agora é que vai ser agora é que eu vos vou mostrar. 14:17 Pessoa 1 Que nós começamos logo por sentir Oo bruá na sala antes do espetáculo começar. A Carmen de Loures dizia me, quando eles falam muito é porque vêm para gostar. Se um público estiver muito calado, muito silencioso. UI. Isto hoje eles vêm para para cortar na casa. 14:31 Pessoa 2 Hoje vai ser difícil, hoje é o tipo júri do do festival da canção e, portanto, tem que ser. 14:34 Pessoa 1 Conquistado profissional está muito habituado. EEE apropria. Se EE absorve essas energias e transforma as sejam elas boas ou más. Agora nós não somos indiferentes a elas e às vezes isso contamina. Eu já parei um espetáculo mais do que uma vez para pedir às pessoas. 14:50 Se acalmarem, ou para deixarem de olhar para o telemóvel ou ou para deixarem de escrever já. 14:55 Pessoa 2 Isso é uma falta de respeito também, não é bom. 14:56 Pessoa 1 Infelizmente, é um prato desde que há 20 anos, apareceram os telemóveis e agora com os com os smartphones, para além dos toques, as luzes, as pessoas escrevem. 15:05 Pessoa 2 Tu vês na cara das pessoas? 15:06 Pessoa 1 Claro, no meio de uma plateia, às escutas acendes, um telemóvel é um é um. É um clarão não só incomodativo para nós, mas como também é incomodativo para todos os outros que estão à volta, não é? É evidente que há toda uma lógica. Nós anunciamos no anúncio de sala, pedimos encarecidamente, explicamos os anúncios, até que testa um bocadinho cada maiores e mas invariavelmente acontece. 15:26 Mas é uma, vai se ir tocando? É um, é um processo. 15:29 Pessoa 2 Olha, fazer isto no teatro. Tu tens pessoas à tua frente e, portanto, tu consegues. Ouvi Los. Tu consegues interagir com eles. Tu sabes seguramente. Táticas e técnicas para ora para desposterizar, ora para aumentar o interesse, enfim, ora para os acalmar. 15:47 Se aquilo estiver muito, muito complicado. A tua outra experiência é das telenovelas, onde tu também apareces muito apareces, como como como um das personagens principais. Aí não há público e aquilo é suspeito. 16:04 Uma carga de trabalhos muito grande, uma carga de trabalho muito grande para para fazer cena, pôr cena, para a cena, pôr cena, pôr cena. Como? Como é que é essa experiência aí? Bom, é menos criativa. 16:14 Pessoa 1 São técnicas diferentes, ou seja, na essência, tudo é representar, não é? Quando estamos num palco, é evidente, tu tens essa consciência que estás perante uma plateia? EE, há uma relação viva, dinâmica, EEE, que tu, da qual tu tens a responsabilidade de tentar controlar. 16:31 Em televisão ou em cinema, é diferente, porque o há o corte, há, há o take, podes repetir, podes fazer um pick up. EE no fundo, o que é que é um picape? O picape é. Se estás a fazer uma cena e há um engano, vamos pegar ali. EE vais e. 16:45 Pessoa 2 Depois dá para montar. 16:45 Pessoa 1 Sim, porque depois as templeiras de corte e, portanto, podemos ir salvar a cena com pick up. Normalmente o que se diz é tens que olhar a pensar na Câmara como o público. Eles estão a ver te a através da lente, mas tu? 17:00 Pessoa 2 Relacionas te com a lente com a Câmara, não. 17:01 Pessoa 1 Diretamente. Mas tu sabes que ela está ali. Eu também. Eu também não olho para o público quando estou no palco ou tento. Mas eu sei que eles estão lá, portanto, essa consciência permanente que está ali, um interlocutor que está, mas. 17:13 Pessoa 2 Não é frio, lá está a Câmara, é uma coisa fria. 17:15 Pessoa 1 É, é, mas ao mesmo tempo bom, há os camerman. Há toda uma equipa que está ali a acompanhar te e tu imaginas sempre que há uma grande intimidade, porque efetivamente a Câmara permite essa proximidade. E, portanto, tu adequas Oo teu registo, quer de voz, quer até de expressão, a um plano que é necessariamente mais próximo. 17:35 No teatro, tens aquela amplitude toda e, portanto, tens. Sabes que tens que projetar a voz? O gesto tem que ser mais amplo. A energia com que pões nas frases tem que chegar à à velhinha que é surda, que está na última fila, na. 17:46 Pessoa 2 Televisão? Não. Na televisão, não muito. 17:48 Pessoa 1 Ampliada na televisão, tu trabalhas para um plano médio apertado e, portanto, tens é que ser mais subtil, tens que conter mais em em termos de traços gerais, é isto. 17:55 Pessoa 2 Porque senão se tu fizeres, fores mais histriónico ou falares mais alto do que ficas. 17:58 Pessoa 1 Esquisito não é? Fica muito, super expressivo. EE fica, lá está. Fica muito teatral. Não é do mau sentido. 18:04 Pessoa 2 E o que é EEE? É as telenovelas, tanto quanto eu consigo perceber elas. Estão a ser escritas ao mesmo tempo que vocês estão a representar? Não necessariamente. Não necessariamente pode. Portanto, podes ser o guião. 18:12 Pessoa 1 Todo sim, há. Sim, há guiões que já estão acabados e, portanto, às às vezes são adaptações de outros formatos que se importam, outras vezes são abertas, ou seja, estão a ser escritas à medida que estão a ser feitas, às vezes com uma frente de 101520 episódios e, portanto, tu próprio não sabes para onde é que aquilo vai. 18:28 Ritmo Intenso das Novelas e a Eternidade de Shakespeare E conforme e se estiver no ar, então. Pode haver até 111 dinâmica com o público. O público está a gostar muito daquele casal. Lá está a gostar muito daquele conflito e isso é explorado. 18:38 Pessoa 2 Vamos pôr mais fermento aqui, vamos pôr, criar mais cenas depois. 18:41 Pessoa 1 Varia, varia. 18:42 Pessoa 2 Estás a gravar o quê agora? 18:43 Pessoa 1 Neste momento, estou AA gravar uma novela na TVI que se chama amor à prova e é um lá está é uma adaptação de um formato chileno ou venezuelano, portanto, adaptado à realidade portuguesa. 19:00 É, é mais pequena do que habitualmente. Tem apenas 100 episódios, apenas 100 apenas. Mas efetivamente tem uma carga de gravação muito intensa. Nós chegamos, eu gravo tranquilamente 12 cenas de só da parte da manhã. 19:13 Pessoa 2 12 cenas só. 19:14 Pessoa 1 Em 3. 19:14 Pessoa 2 Horas e 1 e 1 cena normalmente demora quê 2 minutos? 19:17 Pessoa 1 5 minutos. A cena pode ter 223 páginas, portanto estamos a falar de 234 minutos. Mas multiplicas isto por 10. Estás a ver, não? 19:25 Pessoa 2 É só para decorar o texto, como é que? 19:26 Pessoa 1 Sim. 19:27 Pessoa 2 Como é que eu? 19:27 Pessoa 1 Eu decoro na hora. 19:29 Pessoa 2 Na hora, como é que? 19:30 Pessoa 1 Isso se faz? 19:31 Pessoa 2 Espera lá. Isto aqui vai ser uma ótima explicação para os alunos do secundário, que é. Como é que se decora na hora, é? 19:36 Pessoa 1 Diferente é uma coisa, é decorares 11 conteúdos em que tens que dominar a matéria e saber do que é que estás a falar ali. O que eu faço é, eu leio a cena na véspera para perceber o que é que se passa e quando chego lá, passo com o colega, Bora lá e em vez de decorar as palavras, eu decoro as ideias. 19:51 Pessoa 2 O sentido, o sentido. 19:53 Pessoa 1 Que é, se eu souber o que estou a dizer, é mais fácil replicar, e mesmo que eu não diga aquela palavra, digo outra, parecida. E a coisa dá se. 20:00 Pessoa 2 E os realizadores não são muito aborrecidos, não querem, não é? 20:03 Pessoa 1 Shakespeare não é, não é, não é propriamente mulher. Portanto, o que interessa aqui é. Lá está a semelhança, a verdade, a fluidez e a sinceridade. EE se ficares muito agarrada à palavra, porque aquela que. 20:15 Pessoa 2 Pronto, vai soar a falso, vai soar péssima. Olha o que é que Shakespeare tem de interessante e de extraordinária para continuarmos todos AA ver e a e a gostar daquilo que os atores a fazerem. 20:25 Pessoa 1 Ele é um génio. Ele conseguiu captar na sua obra de 30 e tal peças mais não sei quantos contos, mais poemas mais. Eu diria que o essencial da natureza humana. Considerando que ele escreveu no século 15, é incrível pensar que ele tem esta esta capacidade de de de nos identificar e perpetuar. 20:51 E eu acho que estão estão está lá tudo. A Shakespeare ensina a ser, ensina a humanidade, mas. 20:58 Pessoa 2 Aquilo que é extraordinário é que depois aquele texto parece muito simples, bom, muito, muito simples, no sentido em que eu entendo aquilo. O que é que ele está a? 21:06 Pessoa 1 Dizer isso é um trabalho difícil, difícil. 21:09 Pessoa 2 Fazer o mais fácil ou mais? 21:10 Pessoa 1 Difícil? Exatamente no original. Em em inglês, o texto é inverso e, portanto, e usa uma série de terminologia que já está em desuso. Portanto, os próprios ingleses têm dificuldade muitas vezes. Em acompanhar aquilo que é dito, eles percebem o sentido mais do que todas as palavras. 21:29 Pessoa 2 E como é que tu fazes para para? 21:30 Pessoa 1 Para quando é pensar nisso, o que acontece é, há várias abordagens à tradução. Há uns que são mais académicos e que tentam ser fiéis ao verso EEE, à estrutura EEE. As traduções ficam muito pouco dizíveis. E depois há alguns tradutores, felizmente, que se. 21:49 Traduzem em prosa, portanto, EE tentam é captar AA ideia e menos AO verso, e então torna se mais fluido em português. Na tradução tu podes simplificar para facilitar o entendimento. 22:00 Pessoa 2 Fica lá a poesia no fundo, sempre sem, sem aparecer necessariamente inverso. 22:04 Pessoa 1 Sempre que é necessário, até se pode ir ir buscar um verso ou outro. Mas a prosa é poética também. EEEA essência do texto não se perde. 22:13 O Que Distingue a Presença e o Talento Bruto Olha o que é. 22:13 Pessoa 2 Que distingue? A presença, aquilo que nós sentimos como uma presença ali de uma mera performance. Há bocadinho que estavas a falar aqui do do síndrome do impostor. Que que que é essa nossa relação com a verdade? De de, do, do que é, da da, de quem está a fingir ou de quem está a interpretar uma verdade, apesar de estar a ser teatralizada? 22:33 Como é que se treina, no fundo, uma voz para dizer a verdade? 22:37 Pessoa 1 Não sei, sinceramente, não sei. Ainda me debato com isso. Não tanto no meu próprio processo, mas, sobretudo quando estou a dirigir atores e quando estou a tentar explicar como é que se consegue chegar lá. O que tenha testemunhado ao longo dos anos é que há pessoas que entram num palco sem abrir a boca e algo acontece. 22:56 Elas transportam uma energia. 11, confiança. 11. Aura. 23:01 Pessoa 2 O que é que é isso? Algo acontece? 23:05 Pessoa 1 Chama a tua atenção. Tu queres olhar para aquela pessoa? Tu precisas de olhar para aquela pessoa. E ela ainda não abriu sequer a boca. E isso é muito claro. Por exemplo, quando estou a fazer audições, estou a fazer audições em teatro, tens 20 atores a fazer o mesmo texto e há um ou 2 de repente. 23:20 Pessoa 2 Brilha. 23:20 Pessoa 1 Brilha. Às vezes é. É a maneira como se proporiam do texto, como o tornam seu, como conseguem escavar uma leitura muito original. Outras vezes é meramente 11 atitude, uma postura. 23:35 E isto não se codifica porque é é muito difícil de EE, nem sempre acontece, ou seja, o mesmo ator. Noutro contexto, se calhar pode não ter o mesmo efeito ou com as mesmas pessoas, mas as pessoas que normalmente são brilhantes. 23:51 Olha, há pouco falávamos da Alexandra. A Alexandra é uma atriz para quem a conhece bem, muito insegura, com muitos anseios, muitos temores. Mas lembro me quando fizemos o quem tem medo de Virgínia woolf? Também no teatro da Trindade. Há 8 anos atrás, quando era hora de entrar, nós entrávamos os 2 em cena na nossa casa. 24:13 Fora de cena, Alexandre estava a dizer, não quero, não quero, não quero, tenho medo, tenho medo, tenho medo de ir assim, Ah, não quero depois entrava e mal ela entrava, explodia algo acontecia, era incrível, ela mudava, ela mudava assim de um do dia para a noite. EE aquilo que era um temor, ela transformava numa arma. 24:30 Pessoa 2 Transformar uma fragilidade numa força. 24:32 Pessoa 1 Sim, claro, Oo meu medo? Há há pessoas que com o medo, atacam, não é? E portanto, é. Eu acho que é isso que ela fazia e que ela faz, que é quando tem temor, ela vai para cima de um palco e seduz. EE abraça, nos abraça, nos com o público. 24:46 Pessoa 2 Arrebata nos no fundo, arrebata nos e leva nos quando ela quiserem. 24:49 Pessoa 1 E algo não, não se explica. Tu podes tentar dizer e um ator vê lá, se consegues fazer isto. Mas isto às vezes é inato. 24:56 Pessoa 2 É, não dá para treinar. 24:57 Pessoa 1 É uma natureza? Não. O que dá para treinar é todo o lado técnico. É a postura, é a maneira como lanças, a voz, a maneira como. Como tu atacas uma cena, a energia que colocas, a vitalidade, e isso trabalha se agora, depois de fatores que nos escapam, muitas vezes é, é o subtexto, não é, é aquilo que não é dito, é, é, é uma essência, é uma natureza. 25:16 Porque é que numa multidão nós passamos por 50 pessoas e há uma a quem, onde, onde o nosso olhar pára e não é necessariamente porque é mais bonito, é qualquer coisa que nos faz olhar para aquela. 25:27 Pessoa 2 Pessoa é um fator x, é um carisma. 25:28 Pessoa 1 Sim, claro, claro. Qualquer coisa que impacta a toca comove. 25:35 Pessoa 2 E nós conseguimos correlacionarmos logo com essa pessoa, apesar de não a conhecermos, apesar. 25:38 Pessoa 1 Eu diria que sim. Eu, eu sou. Eu adoro talento. Sou muito sensível ao. 25:44 Pessoa 2 Talento, não é? 25:45 Pessoa 1 Certo, mas digamos que eu estou treinado por via da da minha profissão para ver talento. E quando eu vejo o talento no seu estado bruto, como um Diamante é, é normalmente é muito comovente. Porque tu vês todo o potencial e a pessoa às vezes só está só, só é e tu dizes me meu Deus, como é que esta pessoa às vezes eu vejo jovens atores acabaram de sair do conservatório, pisa, vão para cima de um palco, uma maturidade, uma energia, uma luz e eu disse, como é que se ensina isto? 26:18 Onde é que tu estás, onde é que tu aprendeste isto e não se aprendeu? Eles trazem com eles, trazem da vida, trazem de outra, não sei de. 26:24 Pessoa 2 Outras vidas há bocadinho falavas da Eunice. Ou ou o Rui de Carvalho, por exemplo. Oo que é que o que é que estes 2 atores que juntam longevidade EE lá está e essas coisas todas, o que é que eles têm de verdadeiramente especial? 26:39 Pessoa 1 Ah, olha, eu, Rui, conheço menos. Bem, eu trabalhei muito com a Eunice e com a Carmen de Loures. O que o que eu sinto é é uma entrega total AAA, uma arte que amam eles amam aquilo que fazem. 26:56 E há um sentido de ética e de paixão, de rigor e profissionalismo, tudo isso. Mas depois há algo que é transcendente, que é é a maneira como como estão Oo Rui conta se que no início da sua carreira sofreu muito nas mãos do ribeirinho que o maltratava e que o dirigiu e o isso. 27:16 E o Rui é um ator que se foi construindo, foi foi dominando 11 técnica e uma. E uma presença invulgar por causa da escultura sim, a inicia Carmen. A história é diferente. A Carmen era uma mulher de uma beleza plácida, começou por fazer cinema, a Eunice mal apareceu com miúda 18 anos, era logo um furacão toda a gente não falava de outra coisa no conservatório, ela já era a melhor aluna nota 19 aos 12 anos, quando estreou No No teatro nacional, dona Maria segunda, perceberam logo que ela era um bicho de palco. 27:51 Pessoa 2 Saiam da frente. 27:51 Pessoa 1 E saiam da frente. E pronto, EE foi assim até à sua morte, aos 94. 27:55 Pessoa 2 Anos e há agora novas das destas novas geração? Já há, há há atrizes e atores que tenham também. 28:01 Pessoa 1 Isso assim, há gente muito boa, há gente muito boa. 28:03 Pessoa 2 O que é que tu fazes com essas? 28:04 Pessoa 1 Epifanias para ti, guardo as registo verbalizo. 28:10 Pessoa 2 És mais exigente com eles? 28:11 Pessoa 1 Não, não, não. Eu tento é aprender. Aprender, sim. Ou seja, porque eles têm uma frescura e têm um olhar tão novo perante situações que, para mim, já são recorrentes. E eu penso. Como é que eu nunca vi isto antes? Como é que eu nunca olhei para isto desta maneira? 28:25 Pessoa 2 Eles trazem uma frescura do ponto de vista, sim. 28:27 Pessoa 1 E. 28:28 Pessoa 2 Isso também e isso ensina te. 28:29 Pessoa 1 Há uma audácia, não tem Nada a Perder. Arriscam sem medo. E isso aprende se claro que sim. 28:35 Pessoa 2 Isso é absolutamente EE pode se estimular ou, pelo contrário, esvaziar. 28:39 Pessoa 1 Bom, sim, tu podes fazer todo um trabalho psicológico, pois que os demova. Espero bem que não. Isso seria de uma enorme crueldade. O que eu tento fazer é fomentar, alimentar, beber e estimular EE, aprender. 28:52 Pessoa 2 Olha, estamos no momento das redes sociais, onde? Temos coisas muito interessantes, como a propagação da mensagem, como a proximidade. Imagino que até para a promoção do teu trabalho as coisas sejam mais fáceis. Mas, por outro lado, temos tudo, todo o lixo que vem por aí, não é o ruído, a toxicidade, a pressão para se ter uma opinião, sobretudo, e sou contrário anão aceitação da opinião do outro. 29:17 Navegar o Digital e Lições da Comunicação Familiar Como é que? Como é que tu vais gerindo isto? 29:20 Pessoa 1 Tento gerir com alguma prudência, alguma parcimónia. Tento não, não. Não viver totalmente dependente destas plataformas e desta esta necessidade de extravasar opiniões a torto e direito ou até dispor uma intimidade. 29:36 Eu sempre fui recatado e, portanto, sou muito criterioso naquilo. 29:40 Pessoa 2 Que como é que te protege, lá está? 29:42 Pessoa 1 Com critério, com selecionando bem aquilo que me interessa partilhar e faço com parcimónia. É sobretudo isto. É sobretudo um instrumento de trabalho. De há uns anos para cá, eu sinto que tornei me mais. 29:58 Não diria acessível, mas tive mais vontade de partilhar alguns aspetos da minha vida. 30:04 Pessoa 2 O que é que mudou quando foste pai? Sim, isso foi muito público. Adotaste uma criança, agora um homem. 30:11 Pessoa 1 Desde que fui pai Oo meu olhar mudou necessariamente EEE. Portanto, as escolhas. Todas as escolhas que fiz. Pensava sempre também nele e naquilo que eu acho que poderia ser bom para ele. Mas, portanto, tento não não ficar escravo nem nem nem pôr me a jeito para me magoar, fruto de qualquer reação da bisbilhotice, da bisbilhotice ou dos comentários ou do que for AA verdade é que tenho tido sorte. 30:40 Bom, eu também não ando sempre AA ver tudo o que escrevem, mas normalmente tenho reações muito positivas e. Muito agradáveis àquilo que publico, seja pessoal ou profissional, mas tento não levar nada disto muito a Sério porque acho perverso. 30:57 Pessoa 2 Olha, eu não quero entrar muito na tua intimidade, mas tenho uma curiosidade só na tua relação com o teu filho. Como é que são os diálogos? Porque isso interessa me tu, tu que és 11 cativador de de jovens talentos no mundo. Quando ele apareceu na tua vida, como é que foi? 31:13 O que é que, o que é que, como é que, como é que é esse, como é que é esse diálogo? Com, com, com uma, com uma pessoa que já que tem capacidade de pensar e de dizer e de desafiar. 31:25 Pessoa 1 Olha, eu basicamente repliquei o modelo de educação e que tive na minha vida e que implicava essencialmente 2 coisas, uma muito amor, muito amor. Todos os dias, agora menos, mas todos os dias lhe dizia que o amava e todos os dias falamos ao telefone. 31:46 Quando não estamos fisicamente perto, falamos, falamos várias vezes ao dia e a segunda coisa é precisamente isso, é a comunicação, é proximidade, é para o bem, para o mal. Eu disse, lhe tu podes me podes me contar tudo, podes falar comigo de tudo e, portanto, eu também promovo isso que é, falo com ele, se mesmo que se estou chateado, se discordo, promovo um diálogo, vamos tentar perceber porque é que o que é que está mal ou o que é que está bem? 32:11 O que é que tu achas? O que é que eu acho? E isso criou, entre nós 11, franqueza que me parece saudável e que nos permite falar de assuntos que possam ser mais ou menos delicados, mais ou menos sensíveis, sempre com a certeza que queremos Oo bem e o melhor do outro. 32:26 Pessoa 2 Que é uma definição de amor. Mas como qualquer pai e filho, deve haver momentos em que vocês socam. Sim, tem pontos de vista completamente radicais, mas uma. 32:32 Pessoa 1 Uma coisa que eu aprendi com o meu filho foi a pedir desculpa, ou seja, aprendeste com ele porque ele tinha dificuldade em fazê lo ele pequenino. Ficava muito nervoso, se fazia uma asneira e eu percebi, OK, se tu não consegues. 32:50 Então eu comecei a pedir desculpa quando errava ou quando fazia alguma coisa mal. E como quem para lhe dizer não faz mal nenhum, assumir que falhamos ou ou ou que estamos arrependidos ou que queremos melhorar. E foi um processo EE. Eu hoje também peço mais vezes desculpa e ele falo já de uma forma muito mais tranquila, já sem dramas sem, mas não os nossos confrontos. 33:11 São muito desta natureza. Eu às vezes sou mais impulsivo, emocional, EEE. Depois ele olha assim para mim e diz, porque é que estás a falar assim e tens razão? Desculpa, estou irritado, mas tens que perceber isto, tens razão, pá, eu percebo também peço desculpa, mas tens que perceber que eu pensei assim e a minha ideia foi esta, disse, é OK, então vá, está cá, um abraço e vamos. 33:29 Pessoa 2 Portanto, tenho um efeito calmante em ti, no. 33:31 Pessoa 1 Fundo sim, absolutamente. EE agora já está numa fase em que se é 11 jovem adulto. Tem 22 anos e já posso falar com ele de outras coisas. Posso falar das minhas angústias, dos meus sonhos, das minhas ambições. Ele dá me conselhos. Ele vai ver tudo o que eu faço. 33:46 Ele gosta muito de teatro e, portanto, tem um olhar crítico, tem um olhar sustentado, tem opiniões formadas. É muito giro falar de política, falar de do que, do que seja. 33:56 Pessoa 2 O que é o maravilhoso da da vida? 33:58 Enfrentar Desafios Sociais e o Sonho de Salvar Olha, estamos num tempo em que a ética, a responsabilidade e a empatia parece que tiraram férias durante algum tempo. Coisas que nós considerávamos como normais, nomeadamente direitos civis, coisas que são normais e banais, parecem agora estar sob ameaça. 34:14 O que é que fazemos a isto? Ignoramos ou combatemos? Com toda a formação, tenho sempre essa dúvida que é quando quando alguém defende alguma coisa completamente absurda e que nós temos a sensação de que não faz sentido. 34:28 Pessoa 1 Eu, eu percebo a pergunta, podemos dar? 34:29 Pessoa 2 Gás. 34:30 Pessoa 1 Porque às vezes sinto que quanto mais combatemos ou quanto mais damos visibilidade a esse tipo de posturas e. 34:35 Pessoa 2 Estamos a ajudar, não é? 34:36 Pessoa 1 Exatamente, estamos AAA divulgá las a fomentá las. Às vezes é evidente que ignorar silenciosamente também não é uma boa política. Eu acho que temos que encarar isto enquanto sociedade, enquanto coletivo, enquanto e perceber quais é que são os limites. Oo que é que é razoável. 34:53 Vivendo nós em democracia e admitindo que há pessoas com opiniões diferentes e respeitando essa diferença. Ainda assim há limites. Há limites para aquilo que é passível de ser dito quando isso incita o crime, a violência, o ódio. 35:10 AA os extremismos. EE portanto, eu acho que temos que olhar para os políticos que têm responsabilidade legislativa. Temos que olhar para a justiça. Que seja mais eficaz, seja mais célere. Quando assistimos na própria casa da democracia, no parlamento, a comportamentos, bom que não se não aceitaríamos numa escola, por exemplo, então algo que está profundamente mal e isso tem que ser balizado. 35:35 Pessoa 2 Olha, EE, quando essas discussões começam a contaminar a nossa bolha, dos nossos amigos, que nós até dizemos, mas porque é que tu estás a dizer 11? Coisa daquele passa um efeito de contágio, não é? É como os. 35:47 Pessoa 1 Vírus com os amigos. 35:50 Pessoa 2 Amigos ou próximos? 35:51 Pessoa 1 Eu. 35:51 Pessoa 2 Vou não vou largar um bocadinho o. 35:52 Pessoa 1 Círculo eu quero acreditar que o que as a escolha a minha escolha de amigos. 35:57 Pessoa 2 Te protege. 35:58 Pessoa 1 Protege me. Mas se ouvir pessoas a dizerem coisas que a mim me agridem, porque são absolutamente idiotas, eu não vou entrar nesse, nesse, nesse, nessa discussão, nesse diálogo. Não vou gastar essa energia. Um amigo SIM. 1 conhecido não. 36:14 Pessoa 2 Pois deixas deixas passar, olha, há bocadinho estavas a falar dos teus, dos teus medos, das tuas vulnerabilidades que vem de onde, que, que tipo de medos são? 36:23 Pessoa 1 Esses os normais, ou como qualquer pessoa, o medo de morrer, o medo de falhar, o medo de desiludir, o medo de sofrer, o medo de não ser suficiente, o medo de. São muitos, mas é assim, eu, eu, eles existem. 36:40 Mas eu não sou uma pessoa medrosa. Eu não sou um pessimista da entende. 36:44 Pessoa 2 Que és um otimista? 36:45 Pessoa 1 Sim, sim, eu, eu, eu vejo o copo meio cheio. Eu, eu não me escudo a uma luta, a um embate. Eu posso tremer, mas vou, eu vou lá, eu vou à eu vou à luta. 36:57 Pessoa 2 Então, EE do lado otimista, do lado solar, onde é que? Onde é que estão os teus sonhos? O que é que, o que é que tu, o que é que tu projetas como? OK, aqui eu tenho que pôr mesmo as minhas fichas e que isto tem que acontecer mesmo. 37:07 Pessoa 1 Bom, eu estou numa fase. Da minha vida, em que eu o que procuro é acolher um bocadinho, os frutos daquilo que semeai ao longo da vida. 37:15 Pessoa 2 O que já acontece, o que já acontece? 37:17 Pessoa 1 E, portanto, os meus sonhos agora são, se calhar, de outra natureza. Já não tenho ambições profissionais, não quero ir para Hollywood, não quero ganhar um óscar. Não, não, não, porque isso implicava uma outra vida que eu não tenho. Já não tenho e não tenho nem energia, nem vontade. 37:33 Adoro o meu país, adoro viver aqui. Tenho 111, carreira longa, já fiz muita coisa. Sinto me muito reconhecido pelo meu trabalho. Sinto que tenho um espaço de ação, de intervenção, tenho responsabilidades. Portanto, eu, eu, no essencial, sinto me um privilegiado. 37:51 Os meus sonhos são em garantir que a minha família está bem, saudável, que tenho condições para poder continuar a trabalhar e a fazer os textos que. Gosto que quero trabalhar me e relacionar me com os públicos que me acompanham há muitos anos. 38:07 Este trabalho tem vindo a desenvolver há 8 anos no Trindade, que me deixa cheio de de orgulho. 38:12 Pessoa 2 Que é um teatro especial, não? 38:13 Pessoa 1 É. É muito especial. Não só porque foi lá que me estreei como encenador há muitos, muitos anos. Mas tem 11. Bom, é um belíssimo exemplo. Do teatro palco à italiana, neste país muitíssimo bem preservado. E depois tem 11. Relação plateia, palco fantástica. 38:29 E tenho me permitido levar a cena espetáculos de que tenho muito orgulho. É uma proximidade também? Sim, sim, também essa proximidade física, energética, EE é um teatro onde me sinto bem e sinto me acarinhado. Sinto, me sinto me em casa. 38:42 Pessoa 2 Exatamente, há bocadinho usavas a palavra casa. Disseram me que tu cuidas de todos os detalhes que vão desde a bilheteira, no sentido de quem é que é? A pessoa que acolhe na bilheteira, a pessoa que leva as pessoas até até se sentar isto tudo isto faz parte do espetáculo. 39:00 Pessoa 1 Sim. Ou seja, eu diria que um projeto artístico, que foi isso que eu desenhei para a Trindade não se esgota apenas na programação. É um conceito. Que é um conceito de fruição. É uma experiência que começa desde que a gente liga para o para o Trindade a pedir uma informação, desde que compramos um bilhete. 39:16 Como somos, a maneira como somos recebidos na sala, como somos acolhidos no fundo, eu trato Oo Trindade e este projeto como uma empresa cultural que tem que ter uma relação privilegiada com o seu público, tem que acarinhar os seus funcionários e que tem que ter resultados. 39:32 E, portanto, eu não acho que seja nada de novo, de nem transcendente, é apenas um cuidado que eu imprimo em todas as Vertentes que têm que ver com o espetáculo, seja no palco ou fora dele. 39:42 Pessoa 2 Que é isso que nos faz depois sentir bem num determinado sítio e acolhidos. 39:44 Pessoa 1 É o que eu desejo. É assim que eu gosto, é assim que eu me sinto quando eu me sinto bem num num sítio, num espaço, enquanto utente público, seja o que for, eu volto. E é isso que eu quero proporcionar, proporcionar às pessoas com autoridade. 39:55 Pessoa 2 Olha, o que é que a arte pode fazer por nós? Por estes tempos mais conturbados. 39:59 Pessoa 1 Olha, se eu tivesse que reduzir uma única palavra, diria salvar nos. 40:02 Pessoa 2 Assim, logo uma coisa simples. 40:04 Pessoa 1 Simples, porque, na verdade, para que é que vivemos? Não é? Não pode ser só para comer e para procriar e para. Ou seja. 40:11 Pessoa 2 Fazem os animais. 40:12 Pessoa 1 Pronto, exatamente, quer dizer. 40:13 Pessoa 2 Os animais, mas os outros? 40:14 Pessoa 1 Distinguem nos não é. A arte eleva, nos eleva nos a um nível de sofisticação intelectual, espiritual. É É Ela que nos permite. Encarar OA vida OA essência da vida, o sentido da vida EE podermos ao mesmo tempo mergulhar em nós próprios, os nossos sentimentos, na nossa história. 40:34 Portanto, eu acho que esse legado é algo essencial. Acho que todas as pessoas que de uma forma ou de outra têm um contacto com expressões artísticas, eles não têm que ser artistas, mas as pessoas que na vida têm contacto com experiências artísticas. 40:50 São necessariamente mais felizes, mais completas, mais preenchidas. 40:54 Pessoa 2 Mas estamos numa cidade onde gastamos AA vida e a formação dos nossos, das nossas crianças, mais a ter matemática e física e afins do que ir ao teatro, ver uma exposição, ir passear no parque. 41:07 Pessoa 1 Isso é outra discussão, não é? Ou seja. 41:08 Pessoa 2 A nossa matriz está a criar na realidade autómatos e não e não. 41:13 Pessoa 1 Certo, é por isso que já há muitos métodos a serem desenvolvidos e explorados de ensino. Que não passam necessariamente por essa essa compilação de conhecimento, essa aquisição, essa quantificação de de conhecimento que depois, na verdade fica muito pouco, não é quantos nós nos lembramos das coisas que aprendemos na escola? 41:31 Já nem dos rios eu me lembro, entre entre outras coisas. Matemática nem pensar. Felizmente temos as calculadoras, mas o que eu quero dizer é, sabem, matemática é evidente. Eu acho que a educação pela arte podia ser um caminho muito interessante. 41:48 Ou seja, pôr precocemente jovens em contacto com as expressões artísticas ajuda não só a desenvolver a fruição e o sentido crítico, mas e o sentido estético, mas também a desenvolver competências do ponto de vista da imaginação, da criatividade, que são coisas que nós podemos usar em todas as áreas da nossa existência. 42:07 E isso torna nos seres mais sensíveis, mais atentos, mais empáticos e menos e mais generosos também. 42:14 Ferramentas Essenciais para uma Comunicação Eficaz Olha, eu quero aprender. Quero tomar a tua experiência, aprender EE, partilhar com quem nos ouve. O que é que nós precisamos de fazer para nos tornarmos melhores comunicadores? Tu tens uma caixa cheia de ferramentas para nos para, para nos ajudar a comunicar melhor. 42:32 O que é que nós podemos fazer? Vamos, vamos lá. Podemos fazer 11 lista ou ou ou ir ou ir por um caminho para nos tornar melhores comunicadores. 42:40 Pessoa 1 Olha, eu, eu não tenho isto sistematizado, não é? Mas eu diria. 42:44 Pessoa 2 Também não precisamos de todas. Pronto, isso são 2. Quer dizer, podemos começar pela voz, por exemplo. 42:47 Pessoa 1 Eu diria que para para comunicarmos melhor, é muito importante começar por saber o que é que queremos dizer, o que é que queremos comunicar? O problema é que se as pessoas não têm bem a certeza do que querem comunicar. 43:00 Pessoa 2 Sai propaganda, sai propaganda. 43:02 Pessoa 1 Ou sai, envie usado. Não é ou, ou a comunicação perde. Se algures eu, eu começaria por aí, que é termos convicções, termos valores, termos opiniões estruturadas. Vai facilitar. Depois eu diria sermos económicos, concisos. 43:18 Pessoa 2 Não gastar, não gastar o tempo da Malta. 43:20 Pessoa 1 Nem o tempo da Malta, nem a voz, nem nem nem nem o vocabulário. Porque às vezes diz se muita coisa para, às vezes é uma coisa tão simples, não é? Portanto, eu acho que a simplicidade é um bom artifício. 43:30 Pessoa 2 Estamos a falar e à procura do que vamos a dizer. 43:32 Pessoa 1 Exatamente. 43:34 Pessoa 2 Dá, me dá me um sujeito, dá me dá, me dá me um predicado que é para a gente conseguir perceber do que é que estás a. 43:40 Pessoa 1 Falar shakhov já defendia isso. Ser conciso é muito importante. Bom se estivermos a falar da comunicação oral. A articulação é fundamental, não é? Ou seja, porque quando a gente. 43:53 Pessoa 2 Ninguém entende nada. 43:54 Pessoa 1 Entende nada. Portanto, eu acho que falam para dentro a capacidade de falar para fora no sentido de comunicar EEE. Porque nós quando falamos, não falamos só com a voz. Para além de falarmos com a voz de lançarmos as palavras de as articularmos, depois falamos com a energia que pomos na. 44:11 Pessoa 2 E lá está a nossa caixa pulmonar também, não é? 44:13 Pessoa 1 Torácica, EE as nossas expressão. EEE aquilo que não dizemos também é muito importante, não é toda o toda a linguagem que fica. 44:20 Pessoa 2 Isso aprendemos logo com as mães quando elas estão zangadas. 44:22 Pessoa 1 Connosco e não, não precisam de muito. 44:26 Pessoa 2 Não é? 44:27 Pessoa 1 E depois, eu acho que sermos sinceros também ajuda. 44:29 Pessoa 2 Não é sempre? 44:31 Pessoa 1 Bom. 44:31 Pessoa 2 Ou uma mentirinha piedosa também pode caber neste neste. 44:35 Pessoa 1 Se a intenção é que ela pessoa perceba, tens é que. 44:38 Pessoa 2 Circular não é? Olha, e a arte de escutar, porque isto de dizer depois de pensar ou não pode ser uma coisa mais visceral, a arte de ouvir. 44:48 Pessoa 1 Olha, no teatro é fundamental. Aliás, na arte de representação, há mesmo workshops que se chama escuta ouvir, saber ouvir. 44:56 Pessoa 2 Como é que se ensina isso? 44:57 Pessoa 1 Ouvindo. Que é que é? O que é que acontece? Muitas vezes um ator sabe as suas falas, não é? EE sabe a tua deixa e só está à espera da deixa para dizer a dele, portanto, tu dizes chapéu a chapéu é a minha deixa. 45:11 Pessoa 2 Isso fica artificial, não é claro. 45:13 Pessoa 1 Fica. Tu estás à espera da deixa. Mas se tu estiveres a ouvir tudo aquilo que tu estás a dizer, tem um sentido EOAAA. Minha fala é uma reação à tua. 45:22 Pessoa 2 E tu entras no comboio? 45:23 Pessoa 1 Obviamente, tens que ouvir, tens que ouvir, tens que processar e tens que integrar. E isso tudo tem tempos e às vezes OAA, Malta nova, muitas vezes com a ansiedade. Precipita um bocadinho e tu dizes. Calma, calma, ouve, ouve o que ele está a dizer, ouve, ouves, retens. 45:39 Ah, e reages. E isso pressupõe um tempo, pressupõe uma respiração, pressupõe jogo, jogo. 45:44 Pessoa 2 O timing conta. 45:45 Pessoa 1 Muito. Timing é tudo. Timing é tudo em em representação, em comédia. Então é fundamental, se tu falhas o timing, a piada já foi. A maneira como lança se aquele tempo de suspensão. 45:56 Pessoa 2 Há uma aceleração, há uma suspensão e depois consegues fazer que a piada aconteça. 46:01 Pessoa 1 Em em teoria, sim, mas é uma coisa que se sente mais do que se explica, não é? É aqui, cuidado, estás a correr, estás a assim, não tem graça. Tens que tens que fazer o punchline, tens que fazer a chamada e depois lanças a eu estou te a ouvir. 46:12 Pessoa 2 Estou a pensar no ralo solnado lá está que que, independentemente do texto e tudo o que fosse, havia não só maneira de dizer, mas depois também aquela tu quase antecipavas que ali IA acontecer alguma. Coisa e ele trocava te as. 46:24 Pessoa 1 Voltas e tu? 46:25 Pessoa 2 Ias tu ias te embora logo rapidamente, o que é que te falta fazer? 46:30 Pessoa 1 Olha bom o jantar. 46:33 Pessoa 2 Logo tu cozinhas. 46:35 Pessoa 1 Pouco, felizmente, tenho. Tenho em casa quem cozinho muito bem, mas. 46:38 Pessoa 2 Gostas de comer. 46:39 Pessoa 1 Eu gosto muito de comer, pronto. Gosto da sou, sou, sou. Sou um bom garfo. Não sei. Não sei se me falta fazer assim tanta coisa. Eu tenho 11 gaveta cheia de peças que quero fazer. Gostava de fazer um bocadinho mais de cinema, mas é algo que não depende só de mim. 46:55 Pessoa 2 É difícil fazer cinema em Portugal, não é? É fazer no sentido de produzir. 46:59 Pessoa 1 Sim, é muito, é muito difícil, não é porque. 47:00 Pessoa 2 É caro? 47:01 Pessoa 1 É muito caro, não é? Um filme custará à volta de meio milhão, meio milhão de euros, pelo menos. E. 47:08 Pessoa 2 Depois, depende do que é que se venda daquele filme, não é? 47:10 Pessoa 1 Nem tanto, porque não há. Não temos indústria, portanto, este dinheiro é, é. São apoios do estado. Muitas vezes ARTP também participa. Às vezes vêm da Europa, da euro imagens ou de outros organismos que consegues uma co produção, mas eu não tenho capacidade nem tempo para montar esse tipo de coisas. 47:29 Estou aqui empenhado em tentar escrever uma série que propusemos. De resto, ou ou o ica, para ver se conseguimos desenvolver uma ideia. Portanto, eu gostava também de realizar. É uma coisa que já fiz, já já realizei uma curta metragem, mas gostava de realizar a uma série a uma longa metragem. 47:47 No fundo, é um prolongamento natural do facto de eu já ensinar os espetáculos há muitos anos. 47:51 Pessoa 2 E mesmo com com os netflixs desta vida e afins, esse processo não se tornou melhor? Quer dizer, houve o rabo de peixe, obviamente. 47:56 Pessoa 1 É muito competitivo, há muita gente boa a competir por esse nicho e, portanto, para alguém como eu, que vem da área mais do teatro. 48:03 Pessoa 2 E o mercado é pequeno, é muito. 48:05 Pessoa 1 Eficiente, mas eu não, eu não, não vou desistir e se surgir a oportunidade, falo way, mas perguntavas me o que é que eu gostava de fazer? Gostava ainda de realizar um filme ou uma série. 48:14 Pessoa 2 Diogo Infante, muito obrigado. Estou obviamente ansioso e com uma elevadíssima expetativa. Desculpa, como já aqui cá em cima, para para ver esse professor do clube dos poetas mortos. Não sei o que é que vais fazer da tua vida, mas mas isto está a correr bem. 48:32 Pessoa 1 Não vai correr bem? 48:33 As Seis Lições Essenciais para uma Melhor Comunicação Quantos espetáculos é que é que é que são, quantas? Quantas? Então, eu fico sempre frustrado quando aparece um grande espetáculo. Que que eu às vezes que eu tenho a sorte de ir ver. E me dizem isto agora só tem mais mais 3, 3 sessões e eu digo, mas por? 48:48 Pessoa 1 Nós, no Trindade, é ponto, assente. Não fazermos espetáculos menos de 2 meses e meio. Mínimo que luxo. Sim, a gavolta vai estar 2 meses e meio em cena, mas o clube dos poetas mortos. Vai estar bastante mais. 49:00 Pessoa 2 Há conversas que nos deixam marca e esta é uma delas, o Diogo Infante lembro nos que comunicar não é despejar palavras, é estar inteiro, é estar presente, é saber escutar. Mostrou me que a presença não é talento, é uma construção e que a vulnerabilidade, quando não é usada como arma, torna se uma força e que a verdade vive sempre na tensão entre técnica e alma. 49:19 Aqui ficam as lições que eu tirei desta conversa, 5 lições principais a primeira é que a presença constrói se todos fomos tímidos de algum momento. A diferença está no trabalho que fazemos para lidar com isso e para ultrapassar essa timidez e para reforçar a presença. 49:35 A segunda é que a vulnerabilidade é um ativo e não um risco. Quando alguém assume fragilidade com clareza, cria proximidade e não fraqueza. A terceira lição é que a comunicação começa sempre na escuta. Diogo mostrou isso sempre. Escutar é parte da presença, escutar é parte da ética, escutar é parte do ofício quarto. 49:55 A expetativa pesa, mas pode ser transformada. O chip público pode ser disciplina, sem deixar de ser a verdade. A quinta é que, em família, comunicar é amar, é dizer gosto de ti, é pedir desculpa, é estudar o tom e tudo isso molda vínculos. 50:12 A sexta pode ser a arte. A arte salva porque nos baixa, a guarda, porque nos dá um espelho, porque nos dá respiração, e a sétima é que a verdade implica sempre risco e ainda assim. É sempre melhor do que viver dentro do papel. Errado. 50:27 Obrigado ao Diogo Infante pela generosidade, pela coragem desta conversa e obrigado a quem nos está a escutar.

Germania urmează să trimită trupe în Polonia, în efortul de a consolida flancul estic al NATO. Mișcarea vine în contextul creșterii îngrijorărilor cu privire la planurile agresive ale Rusiei. Numărul soldaților este mic, misiunea lor este pur defensivă, dar semnificațiile acestui gest sunt importante. Germania va trimite soldați Bundeswehr pentru a ajuta Polonia la granița sa estică cu Belarus și cu exclava rusă din Kaliningrad. Potrivit unui purtător de cuvânt al Ministerului Apărării din Germania, principala sarcină a soldaților germani din Polonia va consta în „activități de inginerie militară”. Ei vor ajuta la „construirea de fortificații, săparea de tranșee, instalarea gardurilor de sârmă ghimpată sau ridicarea de bariere pentru tancuri”. Potrivit oficialului de la Berlin, efectivele trimise vor fi de aproximativ 50 de militari. Se așteaptă ca militarii să participe la proiect din al doilea trimestru al anului 2026 până la sfârșitul anului 2027. Purtătorul de cuvânt a subliniat că nu este necesară aprobarea parlamentară pentru desfășurare, deoarece „nu există niciun pericol imediat pentru soldați din cauza conflictelor militare”. Deși numărul militarilor germani care ajută la efortul de apărare al Poloniei este mic, simbolistica este importantă. Gestul este menit să arate Rusiei că europenii iau amenințările în serios și că sunt uniți în fața acestora. Anunțul de la Berlin vine după ce cancelarul Friedrich Merz a avertizat că Vladimir Putin va continua războiul, dacă Ucraina va cădea. Într-un discurs ținut sâmbătă, la o conferință a Uniunii Creștin-Sociale din Bavaria, el l-a comparat pe președintele rus Vladimir Putin cu Adolf Hitler. „Așa cum Sudeții nu au fost suficienți în 1938, Putin nu se va opri”, a spus Merz, referindu-se teritoriul Cehoslovaciei pe care aliații i l-au cedat liderului nazist prin acordul de la Munchen. De asemenea, într-o conferință desfășurată joi la Berlin, secretarul general al NATO, Mark Rutte, a avertizat statele membre ale alianței în privința amenințării Rusiei și a cerut cheltuieli mai mari pentru apărare, inclusiv ca reacție la noua strategie de securitate a SUA. „Noi suntem următoarea țintă a Rusiei. Și suntem deja în pericol”, a declarat Rutte la Berlin. Într-un discurs cu accente sumbre, el a spus că trebuie să  ne pregătim ”pentru un război de amploarea celui pe care l-au îndurat bunicii și străbunicii noștri.” Să mai amintim că, de la invazia pe scară largă declanșată de Rusia în 2022, Varșovia a susținut cu fermitate Kievul și a fost o rută de tranzit pentru armele furnizate de aliații occidentali ai Ucrainei. La rândul ei, Germania este al doilea cel mai mare furnizor de ajutor militar al Ucrainei după Statele Unite. Berlinul a trimis Kievului o cantitate imensă de echipamente, de la sisteme de apărare aeriană la vehicule blindate. După instalatrea președintelui Donald Trump la Casa Albă, Uniunea Europeană și-a asumat singură susținerea financiară pentru Urcaina, inclusiv prin cumpărarea de echipamente militare din Statele Unite.

Neste episódio a Bancada analisou o jogo frente ao Belenenses. Terá o empate a 1 bola tido um sabor diferente do que os últimos 5 empates?Num jogo com um nível acima da média da Liga 3, a fazer jus ao estatuto de "clássico" do futebol português, a Académica conseguiu entrar mais foco na baliza adversária do que o habitual, apesar de ter pela frente um adversário muito pressionante e com mais qualidade.Numa primeira parte melhor que a segunda, a Briosa chega ao empate pela cabeça de Camilo Triana, depois de ver também o histórico Wilson Eduardo cabecear para o fundo das redes da sua antiga equipa.Ainda houve tempo para falar sobre o adiamento da Assembleia Geral e fazer a típica ronda pelos resultados da formação e da equipa feminina.

Ultimate Reconciliation of All (1) (audio) David Eells – 12/10/25 I have found that the truth always motivates people to holiness, to turn loose of the world and run after God; but a lie always makes people comfortable where they are, and there are a lot of lies out there. People who like to make up their own gospel turn the grace of God into lasciviousness by choosing to believe that once saved is always saved. That means there's no use in taking any warning from the Lord seriously, since that false doctrine negates the possibility of being lost. These people are not motivated because they erroneously believe their “ticket's been punched.” Today, I'm going to speak to you about a doctrine that's in the church denominations called “ultimate reconciliation of all.” Many Unconditional Eternal Security people find this easy to fall into since in effect you cant be lost. Ultimate Reconciliationists believe there will come a time when the wicked, including the devil and his angels, in some cases, will come out of torment and be reconciled to God. This doctrine did not come from Christians but Unitarians and Universalists who brought it from England to the New England colonies in the 18th century. The fruit of this doctrine is the same as that of unconditional eternal security. If no one can ultimately be lost, why fear God or the warnings of Scripture? It destroys motivation to study and obey the Word of God or evangelize the lost and dying. Like the unconditional eternal security people, many of these will take the mark of the beast and are taking the spiritual mark now. What else would the devil have you believe? I have ministered in several churches that believed this. Generally, the people are very prideful and judgmental of those who do not have their “deep revelation”. They are forced to pick and choose verses in order to justify this doctrine, and it makes them disrespect the Word. I have debated many with this doctrine over the years, some on our live internet chat Bible study a few years ago. When they can't back it up with scriptures, they generally resort to insults. We who believe the Word just don't have “the revelation”. Reconciliationists say the Greek words for forever and ever mean “unto the age of the ages”, meaning when used of those in eternal punishment, it is only for a period of time after which everyone comes out of the lake of fire. They lie. “Unto the age of the ages” is only in one place. (Eph.3:21) unto him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever (unto the age of the ages) Amen. Here it says, “unto all generations unto the age of the ages”, which is only as long as men have children, clearly making it a period of time. In the four Greek manuscripts I have, which range from the oldest to the Received Text, the second-to-last Greek letter of “age” in this verse is an omicron, the 17th letter of the Greek alphabet, which makes this word singular, “Age”. In every other place, the second-to-last letter in the word “ages” is an alpha, the 1st letter of their alphabet, making this word plural, “Ages”. In every other case where “forever and ever” is the translation, “unto the ages of ages” is the literal wording, which has no end. The manuscripts and Bible Numerics prove this to be the case. (Rev.14:11) and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever (unto the ages of ages); and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. There is no end to the fiery punishment. Many will receive the mark because of this false doctrine. That means that God would die if it were only a period of time. Notice in (Rev.15:7) And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. So if they are correct, using the same words, when these people come out of hell, God dies. If it were only a period of time in the following verses, the devil, beast, and false prophet would come out of the lake of fire at the end of that time. (Rev.20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Even though many Reconciliationists say they do not believe the devil will be saved, according to this doctrine, he has to be. If there is an end to his torment, God will die for the same phrase is used for the longevity of each. They say that “forever,” Greek: “aionios”, meaning “unto the ages”, is for a period of time, but the Kingdom will cease if that is true. We are told forever is without end. (Luk.1:33) and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Vines says this is a Greek Idiom; i.e., an expression whose meaning cannot be derived from the elements of the word. Idioms can always be explained by their usage in the text. If one said, “After he kicked the bucket, I went to the funeral”, you know that “kicked the bucket” means death. It is so with the Greek word for “for ever” or “eternal”. Forever is clearly set apart from a period of time in this verse: (Phm.15) For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever. Clearly “for ever” is far more than a period of time. They also say eternal, which is the same Greek word, “aionios”, meaning “unto the ages”, and has no end. (Joh.10:28) and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. Clearly the elect only are eternal and eternal is clearly set apart from a period of time in this verse: (2 Cor.4:18) while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (temporary or for a season); but the things which are not seen are eternal. If eternal is only a period of time, then at the end of that period, the wicked come out of hell and God and the righteous die. (Mat.25:46) And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. If “eternal” is only a period of time, then, according to this doctrine, God, the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, the new body, etc., would come to an end; but God is also immortal, i.e., deathless (1 Timothy 6:16); the Holy Spirit is eternal (Hebrews 9:14); the Kingdom is eternal (2 Peter 1:11); and the new body, which is also immortal, i.e., deathless, is eternal (1 Cor­inthians 15:52,53; 2 Corinthians 5:1). Here is the clincher: Those who do not have eternal life will “not see life”. (Joh.3:36) He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life (Greek: aionios; “unto the ages”); but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. We can't twist those words. “Not see life” clearly means never. Those who have eternal sin “never” get forgiveness. (Mar.3:29) but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. Once again, we can't twist those words. Reconciliationists use the following verse to claim that “eternal” has an end. (Rom.16:25) Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal, (26) but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God. There is no end of eternity, just as God here is eternal, but there are points in eternity when things are manifested like the revelation of Christ here. From our point of view, eternity goes into the past and into the future. Something may be eternally future without being eternally past. For instance, we have eternal life because we entered into eternity. The spiritual man in Jesus is eternal for he came out of God. His flesh had a beginning for He was sown of God and born of Mary.  And even before that He was “the beginning of the creation of God” and “the first-born of all creation”. This was a point in eternity. When other terminology is used in the Word as we have seen, the Ultimate Reconciliationists are at a loss. (Isa.66:24) And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Clearly the wicked souls do not die for they are in eternal fire. (Job.5:6) How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm! Which will not come out of fire. (Mar.9:47) ... it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; (48) where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Notice that using different words they will always be in fire. (Psa.49:19) He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. Again using other words they will never see the light of truth. They also say, “everlasting” is a period of time, but as we can see, it has no end! (Jer.20:11) But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten. Everlasting here is clearly eternal. When I was younger, “Ultimate Reconciliation” was often called the “Restoration of All Things,” taken from the KJV. (Acts 3:21) whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things (Things is not in the original Greek.), whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been. Restoration here is “apokatastasis,” meaning “back in order”. Only God's people can go back to order because the rest never had order. Notice that when the Lord returns after the Tribulation, the “restoration of all” of His elect is completed. At that time, He is not restoring the wicked but destroying them. (Rev.19:15) And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. Even a thousand years later, when all the wicked are resurrected at the Great White Throne judgment, they are taken from hell and thrown in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-15). That makes it clear that “all” is all of the elect, not all people, as even the Jews understood. To the Jews, “all” meant all of the elect. It is the same today. All of the elect, but without racial distinction, classes or conditions of people, rather than just physical Jews. All Israel is all elect Jews and Gentiles who are grafted into the olive tree (Romans 11:19-24,26), not those who are broken off. Compare the “all” in Mark 1:5 and Luke 7:29-30, where “all” is clearly the elect. The “all” whom the Father gives to Jesus are the elect in John 17:6,9 and in John 6:37,45. We see the same thing when we look at John 8:2, Acts 22:15, 2 Corinthians 3:2 and 1 Corinthians 15:22. Compare Romans 12:3 and 2 Thessalonians 3:2. Read 1 Timothy 2:6, Colossians 3:11 and Matthew 20:28. Jesus came to save only all of His own (Isaiah 53:8,11; Luke 1:68,77; Romans 9:21). God is not wishing that any of His people perish (2 Peter 3:9). (Rom.9:11) For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, (12) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. Reconciliationists say that God unconditionally loves the whole world and could not fail to save it. They like to use this verse as proof. (Joh.3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. Yet, God clearly specifies what part of the world He loves here as “whosoever believeth”. Jesus disagreed with their interpretation of this verse. (Joh.14:21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. (22) Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (Joh.15:10) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (15:14) Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. Here's even more proof from the Word: (Rom.9:13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. (Psa.5:5) The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. (Psa.11:5) Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. (Pro.6:16-19) There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him: (17) Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; (18) A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, (19) A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. (Pro.8:17) I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me. (Hos.9:15) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. Friends, we cannot make God's love a worldly love. God would not be love if He permitted the wicked into His Kingdom to leaven the whole lump. God does not dwell in time and can, therefore, love by faith the elect whom He foreknew and foreordained. (Rom.9:11) for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, (12) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. (Psa. 11:5) Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. God's people who live in sin will prove themselves called but not chosen, and He will love them no more. (Hos.9:15) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. This is not traditional, but I hope I've made it clear. (1 Cor.15:22) For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Ultimate reconciliationists use this verse to say that those in Adam, the whole natural man creation, and those in Christ, the whole spiritual man creation, are the same people, so therefore God will save all. However, the next verse narrows those “in Christ” to those who are His at His coming. (23) But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming. As most know, when Jesus comes, He will eternally destroy the wicked who were obviously not in Him. (2 Thes.1:7) and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, (8) rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: (9) who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord....   PREDESTINED AND CHOSEN Let us see who the full measure of those in Christ are, and also if God ever planned to reconcile all of Adam's seed. “Predestine” means “to determine destiny before it happens”. “Foreordain”, which is the same Greek word, means “to ordain an event before it takes place”. (Eph.1:4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: (5) having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. You who are manifesting sonship by bearing fruit have been chosen and are being drawn by God. (Rom.8:29) For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained (predestined) [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God foreknew and decreed all who come to the likeness of Jesus, but not the apostate. “Foreknew” here does not mean that He looked into the future and saw what we would be. “Foreknew” here means “to know before” and is not connected with actions or events, but persons. God knew these people before the foundation of the world because He does not dwell in time. God conceives and knows what He creates before He speaks it into existence, just as we conceive and design something first in our mind before we make it. “Knew” speaks of intimate knowledge; for instance, Adam knew Eve. Jesus will say to those who called Him Lord but do not do the will of the Father, (Mat.7:23) “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you (I.e.,from the foundation of the world): depart from me, ye that work iniquity”. To the foolish virgins who had not the oil of the Spirit, Jesus said, “I know you not”. The ones that God intimately knew He “foreordained” before the creation to be conformed to the image of Jesus. God is creating us through His gift of faith and grace and His Word in us. These are the people on the narrow road. This is grace. (Rom.8:30) and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. We see here that all who are foreordained will be called, justified, and glorified. They will not fall away but will bear the fruit of Christ. Are there others who are called but not foreordained? Let us see. (2 Tim.1:9) who saved us, and called us with a holy calling … Notice that only the saved are called. “Called” is from the Greek word “kaleo”, which means “to invite”. “Called” is an invitation given only to God's people (for more proof, read Hebrews 3:1; Hosea 11:1; 1 Timothy 6:11,12; Matthew 25:14; Romans 1:6,7) to partake of His heavenly benefits in Christ in order to bear fruit. Those who bear fruit 30-, 60-, or 100-fold will be proven to be the chosen, or picked. Naturally, if at harvest time you have no fruit, rotten fruit, or unripe fruit, you will not be picked. The called are the vineyard of God (Isaiah 5:7). The chosen are the much smaller percentage who bear fruit (verse 10). (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen (Greek: eklektos; “elect”). The “called” can fall, but the elect or chosen will not ultimately. (Hos.11:1) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. (2) The more [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them .... The Lord saved those who ate the lamb and were baptized in the Red Sea. He then tried them in the wilderness to see who would be a believer in the midst of trials, and only those entered the Promised Land. Jude warned the called of this very thing. (Jud.1) Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called ... (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Notice that the called were saved, but some did not continue in faith to bear fruit and were destroyed. Friends, God is not looking for what we loosely call “Christians”, but believers or disciples, as they were called. Jesus gave us very clear examples of His servants who are called but do not come and partake in order to bear fruit. Jesus shared a parable in which a king made a marriage feast for His son. (Mat.22:3) … and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden (Greek: “called”) to the marriage feast: and they would not come. They were full of excuses (a farm, merchandise, a new wife, etc.). (Mat.22:8) Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. Even one who appeared to come did not have on a wedding garment, which implies putting on Christ (Romans 13:14) or putting on righteous acts (Revelation 19:8). (Mat.22:13) Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (14) For many are called, but few chosen. A few of the called are chosen or elect because they bear fruit. (Mat.25:14) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants (Greek: “bondservants”), and delivered unto them his goods. (15) And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Obviously, the man who went away was the Lord, and His bondservants are His people. Two of these example servants brought forth fruit of the talent given them (Matthew 25:20-22), but one buried his in the earth (used his talent for the earthly, Matthew 25:24,25). When our Lord returns, He will say, “And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth” (Mat.25:30). The apostle Paul, who said of himself that he was called in Galatians 1:6, also said, “But I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected” (That's the Greek word for “reprobated”) (1 Cor.9:27). There is much more proof that the saved and the called can fall. Some good examples are 2 Peter 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:11,12; Hebrews 3:1,6,12,14, and Romans 11:1-7,19-23. Friend, you probably know if you are called, but are you chosen? You must be diligent in your walk of faith to prove this with fruit. (2Pe.1:10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election (“choosing”) sure: for if ye do these things (the attributes of Christ listed in verses 5-7), ye shall never stumble: (11) for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God, at the cross, has already given us everything that we need to bear fruit through faith. (3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; (4) whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. Faith in the promises through the midst of trials will give us the fruit. The called have the power and the opportunity. The called and the chosen, or foreordained, use the power by faith and take the opportunity. The only ones who will ultimately be with the Lord are identified in this verse. (Rev.17:14) These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. Notice that the called who are chosen will be faithful. I did not make these verses up; they are the Word of God. Those who have eyes and ears will see and understand, but the rest will justify their religion and ignore the Scriptures. Before time and the future, God sovereignly spoke the end from the beginning, bringing these things into existence in time. Some would argue, “How could God make a promise to all of His called and then not keep it for those who do not bear fruit?” The answer is that every promise in the Bible is useless until someone walks by faith in it. Our part of the covenant is faith; God's part is power and salvation. We can break the covenant through unbelief. (Num.14:11) And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them? (12) I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they. Notice that God is saying this to His own people who did not believe that He would disinherit them. Lest any believe that God cannot make a promise and then take it back when they do not walk in faith, pay attention to this: (Num.14:23) surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it. (30) surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (34) and ye shall know my alienation (Hebrew: “revoking of my promise”). Unless we mix faith with God's promises, they are void. (Heb.4:2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they (God's people): but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. Many Israelites walked in sin and were disinherited and blotted out of God's book. (Exo.32:33) And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. The same is true of the Christians who do not overcome sin. Notice what the Lord said to the church. (Rev.3:5) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life... They will be rejected from the body of Christ. (Rev.3:16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Many of God's people, Israel, were broken off because of unbelief, and Christians who were grafted in but do not walk by faith will be too. (Rom.11:20) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear: (21) for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Those who are still grafted in at the end are called “all Israel”… (26) and so all Israel shall be saved... Those who are still in the Book of Life, still grafted in, are the elect (Greek: “chosen”). (Rom.11:2) God did not cast off his people, which he foreknew ... (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election (Greek: “chosen”) of grace. A remnant is the ones who are left. Notice that they are foreknown and chosen. Sovereign God will have those who are truly His. Abiding in Christ is where salvation is. Some say God gave us the gift of eternal life so He cannot take it back. In Galatians 3:16, we are told, “To Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ”. So the promises were given to Christ, not to us individually. The only way the promises are ours is if we abide in Christ. Abiding in Christ is bearing fruit (John 15:1-6), walking as he walked (1 John 2:3-6), believing the same teachings given by Jesus and the apostles (1 John 2:24; Jude 3; Matthew 28:20), not adding or subtracting from the Word (Revelation 22:18,19), not walking in sin (1 John 3:5,6), and keeping his commandments (1 John 3:24). In Christ is the only place we can claim the gift of eternal life. (1Jn.5:11) ... God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. God does not have to take His gift back; His people walk out of it. (1 Cor.6:18) ... Every sin that a man doeth is without the body ... When you walk in willful sin, you are not abiding in His body, for in him is no sin (1Jn.3:5). (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not … For instance, fornication, whether spiritual or physical, takes away the members of Christ and makes them members of a harlot (1 Corinthians 6:15,18). Only Christ and those abiding in Him are chosen. (Eph. 1:4) Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world... Only Christ and those abiding in Him are going to heaven. (Joh.3:13) And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven... Jesus Christ is the Manna from heaven, the Word, Who takes up residence in those who love Him; this is the fruit that God is coming to choose. By this time, I am sure some are thinking that they do not measure up. We must first abide in Christ by faith accepting the gospel report that “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me” (Gal.2:20). Those who walk by faith that they are dead to sin and Christ now lives in them are accounted as righteous until God uses that faith to manifest righteousness in them. (Gal.3:6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. Amen. Next, I'd like to share with you a couple of testimonies from our website of people who received the revelation of the error in their thinking concerning their own salvation.   Coming Judgment on the Lukewarm Sandy - 01/15/2014 I had a dream that thousands of demons entered my bedroom, then jumped on me while I was in bed, devouring my flesh. I was totally paralyzed. I repeatedly shouted out, “You must flee, in the name of Jesus!” These demons continued to attack me. There was total darkness -- no Jesus. It was HORRIFYING. I felt as though I was in the pits of hell, and this is where my soul is going if I don't change my ways. Then I was whisked away, and I was standing in front of a large cross. From the center of the cross, a bright light was shining. I heard the Lord say to me, “Come to the cross. I did not hear or respond to your cries because you are not abiding in Me. Horrific evil is here, and more is coming, and if you do not abide in Me, you will be devoured. I will not hear nor respond to your cries, if you do not abide in me, and you will not be able to fight off this evil in your own strength”.  Then I was whisked back to my bed, where the demons were devouring me again. I was once again paralyzed. I breathed on them, saying, “Jesus”, and they eventually all fled. I woke up with tears streaming down my face, crying out to the Lord. Now, here is what is so IRONIC: I considered myself to be a born-again, saved Christian! Over the past few years, I've started to walk in the ways of the world, thinking it is okay because ‘I know the Lord loves me; I am a good person and I am saved.' How many other Christians are thinking in the same way? How many other Christians are not truly saved? I turned away from Jesus in my walk. It was a slow and subtle turning away, convincing myself all along the way that I can walk my walk, give the Lord ‘courtesy prayer' and everything will be okay. I WAS SO WRONG.  Thank You, LORD, for Your warning, as horrifying as it was. Thank You, LORD, for giving me another chance to make You Lord of my life.   My Salvation and Deliverance from Satanic Music James Austin - 07/08/2008 When I was a child and up to the age of 15, I had gone to some Baptist and Methodist churches off and on. I had even been what I believed at the time to be saved and baptized. I never really placed importance in my salvation as most Christians at the time. I was scared about hell, so I thought if I got saved, then I would go to heaven and still do whatever I wanted. When I was about 16, I cared only about the world and gave God no attention at all. I was associating with people who weren't Christian and listening to music that wasn't Godly. I began to stop believing that there was a God and didn't care if He even existed. A year and a half ago, I was up late one night and I had nothing to do and I started thinking about life and the world and I felt a sudden loneliness and sadness, and I looked up and said, “God, if You are real and Your Word is true, then help me; I want to know the truth.” I don't think it was even two weeks and God led a brother I work with by the name of Nehemiah to me to inquire about carpooling with me. By this time, I had forgotten about what I had asked God. I was still listening to satanic music and living very worldly. The first week he rode with me to work, I didn't play any music because I began to feel ashamed and did not want people to know which music I listened to. At this time, I didn't know Nehemiah was a Christian. A few weeks later, someone else with whom we were carpooling informed me that Nehemiah was a Christian. Then I really felt low and inadequate to be around him. One day, I was looking at some space nebula and stuff, and I saw what looked like Jesus' face in one of these objects in space. Then I started thinking about God even more. I asked Nehemiah one day about it, and we began talking, and he told me some things the Bible spoke of. Then, after about two weeks of talking and debating with him, he led me to your website, and I started reading and listening to some of your stuff and became very fearful of where I was headed. That morning when I got home from work, I cried to God to forgive me and save me. I confessed to so many evil things I had done and wept, and then felt a peace come over me. I have been reading and listening to your programs and teachings ever since, and I feel the Holy Spirit every time I do. God began to work in me, and I bought your “Sovereign God” book and an ASV Bible. Now I have the New Testament on audio, and I only have the desire to listen to music that glorifies God, and I listen and read the Word of God. I have lost the desire to watch all TV programs because I can now see the sinful nature of TV and how TV glorifies sin. I believe God has saved me and He also healed me from plantar fasciitis (a painful tendon injury) by faith alone. Glory to God! God Bless you, brothers and sisters. I don't listen to evil music, and I feel better inside. God has really changed me. Thank you! I had sent an email about my wife a while ago, but I couldn't remember if I had ever given my testimony to you. My wife is still an unbeliever, but I continue to pray for her salvation. I believe that one day God, in some way, will also save her.

Today, we're going to look at God's rules for assault and murder, and the proper use of the Cities of Refuge. We'll also learn about the Avenger of Blood. Ex 21:12-16, 18-27; 22:2-3,16-17, Lev 24:17, 19-20, 21b; Num 35:9-15, 20-19, 22-34; Deut 19:4-13; 24:7,22:28-29. www.walkfreefoundation.org #everydaychristians

Great Restoration and Revival (3) (audio) David Eells – 12/7/25 Do you know why God speaks to us in parables as in Jesus, the Man-child's day? He said, To hide these things from the wise and prudent that He may reveal them unto babes… I want to share with you some revelations to help you and encourage you to be spiritually prepared for tribulation and the outpouring of the latter rain anointing.   Terrorism, Spiritual Invasion and Apostasy Don Lett - 06/22/2008 (David's notes in red) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph.6:12) (At first, this appears to be a physical terrorist attack, but the further you read on, the more it is revealed to be a spiritual invasion and attack on the U.S. and Christians.) Somehow, I found out about a terrorist attack that was going to occur on an Air Force base where I was staying. Although this base seemed like a normal civilian area. (The U.S. is the eagle of the “Lion with Eagles Wings” of Babylon. It is called this partially because of its air superiority. I believe the U.S. is the air force base in the “normal civilian area”.) I was in a bathroom hiding, and I could see that a group of Caucasian, American-looking men had captured most of the leadership on the base. (The enemy looks like average Americans but has a foreign ideology and spirit.) I looked behind me and saw that the General of the base was incapacitated and a little bloody. He wasn't able to stop this attack. The terrorists were looking for him but couldn't find him. I decided that he was OK and that he would be safely hidden in this bathroom. (The corporate beast spirit body from the pit has infiltrated and captured the minds of most of the leadership of the U.S. and is using them for their one world order purposes against the saints.) In another room to my rear, I could see a baby being watched by an adult. They were safe for the time being in a glass room, but I had no idea what was getting ready to take place. (The alien terrorist attack is happening to raise up this dragon/beast entity over the U.S. and bring down the freedoms we have known in the past. The baby is the newborn corporate Man-child that the beast entity wants to extinguish, as Herod attempted in the Gospels and the dragon will attempt in the Rev.12 end-time parallel. However, this baby, although visible, is safely caught up to heavenly places in Christ. The beast that is taking over all nations is the real terrorist that will make war against the saints.) I was scared, but I also noticed there was an escape route to the rear. I had to warn the authorities on base. I went straight to the guard shack at the check-in point. When I told the guards that I needed to talk to someone immediately about something that was going to occur, an MP car pulled up. They suggested that I inform the MPs who were in the car. They rolled down their window, and I leaned down to begin to tell them about the terrorists. But then I remembered that part of the plan was to infiltrate the base with other terrorists. I wasn't sure if these were real MPs or terrorists in disguise. I asked the MPs in the guard shack if they had ever seen these individuals before. They said no. (We really don't know who can receive our warning of this invasion. Some whom we think are brethren we find out are really the enemy.) I went and spoke to another MP whom they did recognize. As I was explaining to him about the terrorists, several people from my past were walking by and casually listening with interest, but not alarm, like J____. The MP seemed interested but not alarmed either. But it appeared that he would take someone to investigate these claims. (Most authorities will not take this spiritual alien invasion seriously, and others have already been taken over by it.) Next thing you know, I was sitting at a long table with a group of other civilians who were eating. Most of them, it seems, knew that I had found out about this terrorist attack. Some family members then began to brag about T___, who they said was getting these amazing words from God. The method that she was getting this word was from occult spiritualism or witchcraft-type practice. (Many times masquerading as Christian gifts.) They thought of her as a white witch. When they explained this to me, I told them right away that this is not the way that God works and that she was being influenced by a familiar spirit, but they didn't believe me. Just then, a very old friend from my past, S____, began to tell me what a hypocrite I am because of something I had done to him when I was a teenager (30 years or so ago). I told him that I was sorry and explained to him about forgiveness and how I had completely forgotten about this incident that had held him in captivity for so long. I asked him to let it go. (Many will be taken in because they are turned over to the tormentors for their own unforgiveness.) I turned my attention back to T____. My family members continued to press me about how God was speaking through her and that she was a good witch. And I reiterated that God didn't work this way. I told them that if they would meet with me outside, I would lay hands on her and cast this demon out. They still didn't believe me, but decided to meet with me, probably to prove that she was getting the word from God. (Many today pay no attention to the source of knowledge and power in these fakes since they are infiltrated with the enemy, but if we hold fast to the scriptures, we will know them.) While walking to meet with her, I got mixed up in a Catholic procession. They were singing “Amazing Grace”, but I could not get in tune with the way they were singing it. I tried several times and eventually got frustrated and stopped walking and singing with them. (The righteous will not assimilate into the larger end-time Universal, meaning Catholic, religion of the new world order that turns grace into lasciviousness.) I ended up in a different room. I noticed T____ walking with the group as they were walking in a line up a ramped corridor. The wall between us had an opening about one foot high at the neck so that I could see the faces of those walking. T____ was walking with them. I remembered that she looked pretty, but something was very odd about her countenance. Everyone seemed to be walking in an almost trance-like state. (Those who are into the witchcraft of rebellion to the Word will be assimilated by the alien spirits.) I had to go downstairs to meet with her and found myself on an elevator with a bunch of other people. This elevator was wide open without even a handrail. As I was going down the elevator, I was praying that God could do this work through me. I was concerned that I had not been close enough to God lately to cast this powerful demon out. (Closeness to the Lord enables us to be useful in the deliverance of our brethren.) When I came downstairs, there were a lot of activities. A lot of people I knew were playing basketball. I wanted to join them, but I had to take care of this first. I was still very concerned that I wouldn't be able to cast this demon out. Several people stopped me on the way to that side of the room to say hi. I quickly said hi and continued to move toward my cousin. (Most are caught up in the game of competition and scoring points between the sects of Christianity and are unaware of the spiritual alien invasion in their midst.) When I finally made my way past the basketball court, more acquaintances whom I had not seen in a while wanted to say hi. I gave a friend of mine a hug and said hi, and continued to move on. Finally, I got face-to-face with T___. I told her that I was going to lay hands on her, and just as I began to lay hands on her, a very shapely woman, whom I had never met, dressed in a turquoise stretchy dress that was cut very low at the breasts and high on the thighs, came out of nowhere and approached me to hug me. None of this made any sense to me that such a beautiful lady, whom I had never seen before, would come up to me and decide to hug me. I knew this had to be the work of the enemy. (The harlot of apostate Christianity seeks to seduce those who seek to deliver its adherents.) I thought about some of David Eells' teachings, and I held my hand out and said, “Lord, take this demon away from me”. (Or maybe, “Don't allow this demon to touch me”.) I was astonished by what happened next. This lady was lifted off the ground about an inch or two and slid backward about 10 to 15 feet and landed in a chair. She had her back arched, and you could see spiritual demonic activity above her chest. This startled me so much that I awoke from the dream. (The Word will cause the elect to recognize strong delusions of apostasy.)   My Interpretation: The Air Force base is the U.S. “This building (the Pentagon) will be attacked 3 million times today”.

Atheist or agnostic at best T____ - little or no biblical knowledge, professing a relationship with God   The Cross Revives the Church  Eve Brast - 10/04/2016 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that my son Elijah and I were making our way through crowds of frustrated people in an airport. (Elijah represents the John the Baptist ministry calling God's people to repentance.) (Without repentance God's people cannot live in heavenly places above this world. (Mal.4:5) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. The children don't know their fathers in the faith. All they have known is Babylonian false prophets and haven't grown up.) The people were angry and frustrated because an announcement had been made overhead that all flights were "delayed" and no one knew why. (Flights being delayed are representative of earthly bondages continuing.) Why do earthly bondages continue? They don't know their need because they don't know their spiritual fathers. (Eph.1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ... All of our needs are supplied in heavenly places by abiding in Christ, Who is the Word. When we do not depart from the Word, we are a heavenly creation with heavenly benefits. Right behind John's repentance came Jesus and the church fathers.) (I asked Father for a word concerning the announcement of the delayed flights in the airport and received (Isa.1:25) I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin. 26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors (Fathers) as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, a faithful town'.) As we came up to the last terminal (time is running out), an older woman with blonde hair that had streaks of gray throughout, wearing a head covering, came up to us and pleaded with us to come and help her daughter, who was being a rebellious teenager. She was concerned because her daughter would not obey her concerning staying home and helping her clean the house and her bedroom. (Representing sanctification or "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord".) She kept sneaking out of the house to hang out with her friends at the mall and go shopping. (This woman represents the original church whose daughter has gone astray [in immature rebellion]. I believe there is one daughter in this dream because she represents the elect of God who will return to the true church. (Time is running out for the rebels to escape the power of this world before the judgments come. (Rom.2:3) And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? (The rebellious teenager/church is about to miss her plane to safety.) (Luk.21:34) But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: 35 for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. (Meaning those not in heavenly places in Christ.) 36 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Heb.2:3) how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard. (Heavenly places is to be caught up to the throne of God's authority over this cursed world.) 4 God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will. 5 For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. (To be in the heavens is to have everything worldly and all of the curse under your feet.) For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. (Whose fault is that? Jesus said that we have heavenly authority over this earth and its curse in (Mat.16:19) I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh (the teenager rebellion and lust), I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.) While the woman was lamenting to us about the daughter, I noticed an escalator off to the side of the terminal. I noticed that there were many people packed onto the downside (falling away) and only two or three individuals going up on the upside (those ascending to heavenly throne authority) to the next level. (Only one out of the four bore fruit in the parable of the sower.) (We are called to heavenly places, which are in Christ. Much of the church is earth-bound because they have not learned to abide in Christ, Who is the Word.) Then the woman's voice came back into my focus and hearing as Elijah was agreeing that we would go with her to her house and help her daughter. (The Bride will bring repentance to the rebellious church but not before some judgment arrives.) The scene changed as we found ourselves standing at the entrance to the daughter's bedroom from within the house. The mother was opening the door and gesturing for us to enter. Her daughter's room looked like a shop at the mall. (Love of the earthly stops one from receiving love of the heavenly places.) Shoe displays and mannequin torsos were displaying risqué teen clothing. (Many are in idolatry [and lust] with the world.) The mother explained that the daughter was hardly ever home, choosing to be at the mall and with her friends over home life with the family. (The heavenly family has been departed from, for earthly pursuits. We all know people like this who are full of excuses, but they will find out too late that they didn't eat their Word.) Elijah and I (Eve, the Bride) began to walk around the room to get an idea of what to say to the daughter and how to help her. I noticed a white door with glass panes in the top half, and on the other side of the room, which led into the room from the outside. There was a short hall entryway between the room and the door. (The door is Christ and represents salvation.) I noticed some activity going on in the entryway. (This is where most of the Church stops, not bearing the fruit of Christ in their soul and ministry.) David was busy doing something. Then Michael came up to us and began explaining about a project that David had been working on for a while for this girl. Michael showed me a few of the nails that he had helped gather for the project. He had quite a few gathered in a small silver metal bucket near the wall of the entryway. (The nails are to hold our flesh on our cross so that we may have the resurrection life of Christ in heavenly places of throne authority.) (David and Michael are representative of the Man-child ministers who have been prepared and are preparing for this end-time harvest.) Suddenly, a bunch of the Local UBM brethren came into the room in the same direction that Elijah and I had entered. I saw that everyone was cooperating with one another to transform the daughter's room. (The apostate Church will see a role model in the Bride that they never did in their leadership.) I saw M. L. consulting with the other ladies to alter all the clothing into more appropriate things for the daughter to wear. (The mature don't flash flesh, they crucify it. Modesty is a necessity.) The men were discussing how to move around some of the shelves (too many of God's things are on shelves) and bring in appropriate furniture for a bedroom. (To rest in faith in God's promises.) (Being in one accord and one Spirit with body ministry for our little sister.) (It appears a little sister was matured and glorified. (Psa.45:13) The king's daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold. 14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee. 15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace. 16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth. And it appears that she became a spiritual mother to many.) Then the door to the outside opened, and David stepped over the threshold carrying a large, lightweight transparent cross over his right shoulder. (The Davids will first bear the cross to death of themselves so that they may give it to others. (Heb.12:2) looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.) Michael said excitedly, "There it is. That's the project!" I asked Father for a word concerning David and Michael and the project and received 1 Timothy 2:5 (context: 5,6). (1Ti.2:5) For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times. (Just as Jesus paid the price for us to be freed, so will He do it in the Man-child, and much fruit will be borne. (Joh.12:24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.) David knelt down and gently laid the cross down with the foot at the threshold and the head where the room began. He reached over the cross and pulled the bucket of nails toward him as Michael went over and handed him a heavy hammer. As David pulled the nails out of the bucket, they began to light up a beautiful sky blue like neon signs. He nailed them in groups of three at all four points on the cross. (Giving others an example of death to self. There were 12 blue nails representing discipleship. This cross bridges the gap so that those who are without can enter the house. (Representing the now-holy house and place of heavenly provision. No cross, no crown.]) Once David had finished, the daughter came home, and as she stood looking in amazement at the entryway, she couldn't believe that David had cared enough to do that for her. She was so touched that she had to come in and see the rest of the room. (The Church's eyes will be opened through the crucifixion of the Man-child, and they will enter into the Kingdom life.) She was amazed at how we had all worked together to transform her room, and she really liked what she saw. Everything was so new to her as she walked around admiring the transformation. I went over to her as she stood in front of some shelves that the men had restored. I watched her pick up some sort of tool off the shelf, wondering what it was. It had a part of it that glowed blue like the nails in the cross. I began to explain to her what it was and how to use it. Her face was filled with wonder as I watched her transform before my eyes into a young boy with beautiful blonde hair. (The transformation of our little sister into Christlikeness through our witness and examples. Showing her how to use the tools of the Gospel in order to overcome.) Then I woke up. I asked Father for a verse or text for this dream and received by random John 20:19 (context: 19-23). (Joh.20:19) When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. (Proofs of crucifixion and resurrection.) The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. (Through spiritual crucifixion and resurrection.) 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit (The great power of God to lose our life to gain Jesus' life and ministry.): 23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.   Spiritual Food for the Tribulation Janie McManus - 04/30/2009 (David's notes in red) Generally, I wake up early, by 6:00 AM, to pray and read the Word, but this morning when I awoke, I wanted to sleep some more. It was my day off and I had a long list of things to do, and I thought, Oh no, what will happen if I stay in bed? Then I sensed the Holy Spirit say, “Sleep. I want to give you a gift”. I drifted off into sleep and dreamed I was within a group of people being herded along urban streets, and jostling among folks. (This is in the hard times of tribulation when the World Beast will take charge of people's lives.) I realized that I was not among people I knew, but we seemed about the same middle, lower-middle class crowd -- no one too fancy, and basically healthy. So I am standing in the middle of all these sacks of grain, and we have to move, suddenly, like we were being driven, so I asked the ones around me, “Can you help me carry these sacks?” (The Word we need to live by), and they laughed, saying, “No need to drag that along; we get plenty to eat”. (Those who set aside obedience to the scripture.) But I figured, this is perfectly good grain, and I am not going to just throw it away, so I loaded my pack and pockets, and we walked and jogged on. (Revival among the poor, outside the camp of mainstream churchianity, who will “load up” on the grain of God's Word.) Soon we stopped, out on this country road, and long board tables were set out, and we were instructed to line up on the sides, and then plates were put in front of us filled with this mush, which, on closer inspection, was filled with maggots. Looking up and down the length of the table, I saw people just pick up the plates and start shoveling it in. (The Beast and their false prophets will feed their corrupt teachings to the spiritually starving.) Needless to say, I was NOT hungry, so I wandered away from the table and snatched a few grains to chew on.  Immediately, I could hear the boots of these uniformed troops as they rushed up to the table to see if the food was eaten and all the plates were empty, except mine. In a gruff voice, they asked, “Whose plate is this?” and everyone who had been alongside me turned and pointed to me, but the troops just stormed past me, as though I wasn't there. (Martial law will enforce the harlot's wishes on the multitudes, as in Jesus' day. Our site has testimonies of people being invisible to the enemy as they served the Lord. Jesus passed through the midst of those who would kill Him. Peter passed two trained guards as an angel led him out of prison.) This wearying trek of meals and marching kept being repeated, and I just munched on my grain and shared with anyone who asked for some. (The righteous will carry the Word to those hungry for life.) At first, everyone liked the sweet taste, but they didn't like chewing it, so they spit it out, preferring the gruel. (The clean beasts chew the cud until the Word is thoroughly digestible and useful to the body.) The ones who did eat from both sources became sort of shadowy and wispy (spiritual), but also fearful, and they began to hide. (Those who begin to mix the Word in with their traditions become more spiritual, but their corrupt lives are condemned, and they fear the Lord without an understanding of grace.) Then they refused to eat what I offered and they became “solid” (fleshly) again but everyone had sort of an oily, flabby, fleshy muscle tone, and they wheezed in an unhealthy way. (Those who hear the Word and turn back to walk in the flesh will be cursed. (2 Pet.2:20) For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.) Eventually, we came to a small strip mall that had already been looted, and all the folks rushed into the ransacked stores to see if there was anything they could yet steal. Some were stuffing CDs and techno things into their packs, which was dumb, since they had no electricity or batteries. (The mall represents the buying and selling of the merchants of Babylonish Christianity. They don't know that they have been plundered of anything useful and what is left is useless and powerless.) In the strip mall, I saw that there was a Christian bookstore and, although the windows were smashed, the shelves had been swept clear (no knowledge of God left) and piles of books were on the floor. (What knowledge was there was on the lowest level. The smashed windows represent no clear vision.) I went and picked up a book off the floor and, when I lifted it, all this ash fell out; I looked at the pages, and they were completely empty. When I sifted through the ashes, I found a few little stones. When I licked one off, it proved to be a tiny diamond, hard and translucent. (The only value in the teachings of Babylon is when they quote the scriptures. Nothing else will endure the fires of tribulation.) I wrestled with whether I ought to pocket the tiny diamonds or leave them behind. I searched for some Bibles but found none. (The Word will not be found in the government-approved churches.) I went up to a full bookshelf and opened a standing book. Instantly, the printed words crumbled and slid off the page -- all of them except some bold-print quotes. Suddenly, these leapt off the page and coiled up like microfilm (hidden treasures) and fell at my feet. I realized these words were direct Bible quotes and they were the tiny diamonds. So I scooped up as many as I could gather before the marching orders were barked out. (The Bible will be treasured by the hungry and destroyed by the wicked.) The people were gathering out in the front parking lot of the mall, so I went out to join them. They saw all the diamonds I had, tackled me and looted me! They were shaking me down and gulping down the diamonds by the fistful, without even chewing them, and then left me on the curb, in the middle of nowhere, and went on. (Those apostates who hear but do not digest the Word of truth will persecute the righteous. (Mat.7:6) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.) I saw that the back door of the store was standing open, and I dragged myself over to the door. There was an enormous interior space that was floored like a warehouse, and there were people in low wheelchairs scooting back and forth, from one end of the mall to the other. I felt afraid for them, realizing that they were the ones who would be culled from the herd, but I “understood” that these were below the radar: “In their weakness, God's strength is made perfect”; so, even though they were physically handicapped, they were rather healthier than the others. (Those whom the world considers crippled and unworthy of its company, God chooses and protects. (1 Cor.1:26) For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: 27 but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 28 and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are: 29 that no flesh should glory before God.) On the far end, there was a kindly woman who was feeding the handicapped handfuls of the diamonds. The kindly woman was spry and very old (strength and maturity); she came up and asked me if I was a Christian. I said yes, and then she asked, “How do you know?” I began sobbing and saying, “I was hungry and thirsty” (I felt like a little child who was over-tired). I then said, “Because I only want to eat diamonds” (You know you are a Christian when you hunger and thirst for the pure Word. (Mat.18:3) and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.) This made me cry even more because I felt I had given the wrong answer. I started wailing and weeping and saying, “I gave all the grain I had to the others, and they hate me. I try to walk with them and I share what I have, and I don't make trouble”. (Many “on fire Christians” have had the sad experience of trying but failing to fit in among the apostates and being persecuted for it.) I went on and on about all the stuff I had done, knowing it all sounded so foolish, and I was overcome with exhaustion and was sobbing uncontrollably. (Failure to reach many lost souls with the true Word will be a grief to many saints.) She gently put her hand on my shoulder and said, “You must go on now”. Suddenly, she paused, turned and asked me, “Do you know how to get more diamonds whenever you want?” Before I answered, she held up a single page of NT scripture for me to see. The page was almost sheer, and the lettering was moving like tiny rivulets of water (as “living water”) and she asked me, “Do you recognize any of this?” I began crying and with such intense joy that it hurt, and I could not even see through my tears. I reached up to try and grab the whole page to try to stuff it in my mouth, but she would not let me lay hold of it. (Reading it too fast and missing the details.) Laughing, she said, “No, you sit still and read the words so you can hear what they say and see what they mean”. Calming myself down, I sat to read, and whenever I came to words I knew, they suddenly froze and became like a sticker or label. (As we meditate on the Word, it becomes real to us -- digested into our being.) She said, “Peel them off and eat that,” so I did just that. Some passages I ate 10 or 15 times, but immediately after peeling off the label/passage, they were replaced. So, like a hungry man, I gorged myself and thought I could eat until I fell asleep. She said, “Now, you can keep eating whenever you want, or you can lug the grain sack around”. I was puzzled and asked, “Where will I carry it?” and she said, “It is in your mind and in your heart, but you must stand still and look for it and ask for it; there it will be”. (There is a time when we only carry the Word of God in our hand, but as we digest it, the Holy Spirit is able to bring it up out of our hearts to meet the needs around us.) Then she again said, “You must go on now”. Now I was greatly strengthened, rested and fed. I even began to wake up, ready to conquer the day, but I heard her voice say, “Wait, there is more”, and I fell into sleep again, into the same dream. I was being dragged out of the crowd in the middle of a campground by some of the people I had fed earlier, and they began dragging me toward the troops. I didn't feel a bit afraid and I wasn't resisting. I said to them, “Let's just stand here; they can come over to us”, which they did immediately! (The apostate church will use the beast government to persecute those whose doctrine doesn't please their flesh.) The troops asked, “Where is she?” and the others said, “Right here, between us”, which I thought was odd; they would have had to be blind not to see me. (God will, in some cases, physically blind the wicked to protect His saints. They are “hidden with Christ in God”. The spiritual blindness of the OT law and the letter of the Word “veils” the eyes and mind of apostate persecutors.) So they instructed the ones holding me to restrain me, but I calmly stood up straight and tall, and watched as one of the troops lifted an enormous sword (like in the movie Braveheart) high above his head, and in slow motion watched it drop to the crown of my head. It sliced me right in half, all the way to my ankles, and there at my feet were all my clothes and all around my feet was a pile of these diamonds, like I was some sort of grain sack that had been slit open. (Just as Jesus was “the Word made flesh”, so it will be with His disciples. The persecution will reveal this to those who have eyes to see.) I felt the embarrassment of a dream when you are completely naked, yet no one even saw me, so I stood still. The ones holding my arms let go of me and dove on top of my clothing and started tearing them, eating them, ripping them up, and passing them around. (When Jesus was naked and crucified, they parted His garments. The garments of the righteous represent the “righteous acts of the saints”, as in Rev.19:8,14. The apostates devour the righteous through their denigrating words and accusations. (Gal.5:15) But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.) Oddly, everyone wanted some of the fabric, and everyone was gobbling up the diamonds, but completely forgot about me. (In the same way, they will criticize the truths of the Word that the saints have become, but God will reprobate them.) When they turned away to march on, I noticed that no longer were they people, but almost like half-pig, half-human, and the feces that fell behind them were loaded with the diamonds -- unchewed, undigested, and unharmed -- just dirty. (Like sows that had washed, they return to wallow in the mire. The church world and its greedy leadership have polluted the truths of God's Word. They have not digested the true meaning of the Scriptures. Please read all of Eze.34. Verse (Eze.34:18) Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.) I reached out, hesitant to touch the “stuff” but saw my hand was covered in a white glove, so I looked for something to put the rescued diamonds in and wondered where I would get water to wash them off. I squatted down and saw (to my relief) that my knees were covered in this satiny, sheer curtain-like fabric, and low down I could hear water trickling. (The humble may go to their knees to find wisdom from God to turn the polluted hearts of the deceived to the pure Word. The white glove represents works of righteousness, as you take the clean water of the Word and Spirit.) I noticed then that ALL OVER the ground lay bodies of dead people. I was horrified and astounded. So I stood up and began to sing. The more I sang, the more clearly I could see the bodies. Some were being eaten by grubs, but others were rather like fertile ground, and when I flipped them over, they were filled with earthworms. In those bodies, I “planted” some of the diamonds, just out of curiosity. Suddenly, I watched the diamonds unfurl, and all the letters began sprouting roots and tendrils; they were alive! I became engrossed in putting out the diamonds, like one planting seeds by hand in a furrow. (The true gospel saves, heals, delivers, and resurrects those who are dead in sin.) When I looked back, the field was filling with people coming out of the ground, who immediately turned to begin tilling the ground and planting bodies! We were all quite busy and a multitude was coming alive. (The sowers of the Word will sow the seed and bring forth life in others, who in turn go to work in the field.) I woke myself up, shook off sleep, got out of bed, and went to start a load of laundry, thinking, ‘Now that was weird!' (We have been exhorted by this dream to clean up the garments of our works so that we are not partakers of the defilements of Babylon by their religious spirits. (Exo.19:10) And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments... (Num. 8:21) And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes... (31:24) And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp.) I have a little box of scripture verses that are about 70 years old, from my grandmother's house, next to my washing machine. So, waiting for the water to fill the tub, I chose a card at random to read; it was (Mat. 7:7) Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.   Wolves and the John the Baptist Revival Eve Brast - 04/27/2016 (David's notes in red) Wolves of all kinds wait to pick off the new believers in this revival before they can mature. Pray for them, brethren, and do spiritual warfare against the demonic enemies. This repentance revival must succeed, or a great curse will come upon this country. John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah, according to Jesus. (Mal.4:5) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. (6) And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Are these apostate leaders the children's fathers? No, the early Church fathers are their fathers. And the Man-child, Bride, and witnesses are their fathers. This revival will point them to these fathers. I dreamed I had just given birth to my son Elijah on top of a large white round table in the center of a cafeteria. My husband was standing to my right and holding my hand. (Her husband represents the Lord.) He was so happy and proud of his new son. We both knew the baby was very special. (I believe this represents the Bride birthing through prayer the John the Baptist revival, which precedes Jesus in the Man-child reformers.) Then, some cafeteria workers posing as hospital nursery employees came to take Elijah to the nursery and asked us if we wanted him circumcised. (Cafeteria workers are they who feed spiritual or, in this case not spiritual food. They are acting as though they are ordained to take care of this revival, to cut away the flesh, but it is they who are flesh. The false leaders always try to hijack any true revival trying to impose their unscriptural foolishness. We must do warfare against this.) My husband emphatically said, “No. That's not necessary anymore”. So they left the room with Elijah. I assumed they would take care of him. (We bind this leaven masquerading as Christianity from this repentance revival.) I then went and got in line with some other people to get a tray of food. The cafeteria workers all had disposable white hair nets. A young, tall, lanky guy and a short woman put various food items on my plate and handed me the tray. I saw that they had put shredded pork on my plate, and I said, “I'm not allowed to eat pork. My husband doesn't allow it”. (This is spiritual. Our Lord does not allow us to partake of their unclean fleshly nature, words, spirits and teachings. Like pigs, their god is their belly.) When my hand touched the tray, I had an open vision. I saw Elijah lying on the floor in pain in another room. The cafeteria workers who had posed as hospital nursery workers had circumcised him and botched the procedure in addition. They had also stuffed pork into his mouth and he was lying there half choked from it. (These apostate ministries cutting off what they call “flesh” from this revival. Their unscriptural, overindulgent lives prove they do not know what flesh is. Adding their pork as a type of their unclean demon doctrines to choke the revival.) When the vision ended, I was back over at the table where I had given birth to Elijah. I was telling my husband what they had done to him, and then the “nursery worker” came up with the dried foreskin in her hand. She had a strange necklace around her neck with many others hanging from it, and she placed Elijah's dried foreskin onto her necklace, too. It was like a bizarre trophy necklace or something. (The demons in the false revival people want to claim this revival as their own for selfish ambition.) My husband was so angry that they did this to his son. I hurried into the room where they had left him to suffer and choke to death. I quickly picked him up and performed the infant version of the Heimlich maneuver on him that I had learned in a CPR class that I took at the hospital. (They must not be cut off from the breath of the Spirit.) I took a white baby blanket and wrapped him up in it, and carried him out of that cafeteria building and walked with him on a white covered concrete walkway over to the large UBM warehouse next door. (Just as John said in (Joh.3:30) He must increase, but I must decrease. The John the Baptist revival will morph into the Man-child revival of the Unleavened Bread and signs and wonders. But for God's people to escape the judgments promised, there must be repentance. This revival must succeed.)   THE CONDITION FOR PROPHECY TO COME TO PASS OR NOT AND THE CURSE (Jer.18:1) The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, (2) Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. (3) Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels. (4) And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. (5) Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, (6) O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel. (This pot has to be handled roughly to get the clay back in a moldable form. This remolding of the clay historically has involved judgment until the clay is repentant.) (7) At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it; (8) if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. (9) And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; (10) if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. (11) Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. (12) But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.   Great Holy Spirit Revival & Escape Eve Brast - 05/04/2016 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in the spirit, floating right above the waters of the Red Sea. (This is after the Passover that brought death to the Egyptians and freedom to God's people just before the wilderness tribulation on the other side of the sea.) I was looking toward the bank on the shore, which was dark. (The way of escape from Pharaoh's army or martial law is not clear.) I saw a small tongue of fire come down out of heaven and alight on top of the waters. (The tongue of fire is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Act.2:3) And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. (4) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. This individual tongue of fire is the anointed Man-child from Heaven. This is the Man-child revival that follows the John the Baptist revival. Like Moses they are to bring the people into and through the wilderness tribulation.) Suddenly, all the waters were set on fire and they parted with great force and power as if Moses himself had struck them with his staff! (Jesus in the Man-child by His Word and anointing will divide the sea and make a way of escape from Pharaoh's army and his FEMA camps, as Moses did. (Exo.14:16) And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.) They became two flaming walls of fire, and between them, the tongue of fire landed on the dry seabed, and it lit up the shoreline. (The anointed Man-child made the way of escape clear when it looked impossible.) I could then see a set of 12 stone steps (representing the 12 tribes of New Testament Spiritual Israel) leading down from the top of the shoreline to the seabed. Then all these modern-day people from all the different denominations were lit up in the dark, and they began descending the steps to go across. A man who was also dressed in modern-day clothing was the first to descend and was at the head of them to go into the wilderness and on to the Promised Land. Then I woke up. (What would it take to unify all the true people of God to seek Him and spiritually leave Egypt, as a type of the world, and head toward the promises of the Promised Land? The John the Baptist repentance revival would have wised up many to the bondage of the Pharisees and Sadducees and their dead religion by then. Pharaoh had made slaves of the people of God, somewhat like our Pharaoh, and fierce judgments had fallen on the worldly at Passover. Could this be engineered economic collapse, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and martial law? The judgments on Egypt so the people can escape. I asked the Lord, “Will martial law come?” and got two heads for “yes”. I asked, “Can it be overturned by our faith?” and got two tails for “no”. And this was fulfilled for we are in it now. Pharaoh's army was about to bring them into bondage when God divided the Red Sea. At this point, they were unified by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (1Co.10:1) For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (2) and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud [baptism of the Holy Spirit] and in the sea [water baptism].) I asked the Lord, if we went the Trump route, would the earthquakes not come and He said, “No”. In other words, the quakes are coming. They are a sign of the coming Man-child reformers.   White Glove Inspection Sandy Shaw - 2/11/18 (David's notes in red) At the beginning of this dream, I am standing in front of an extraordinarily large white house. In real life, there is no way that you would see a house this large on Earth. (At this time, there are no people who this white house can represent but the Bride. Certainly not the larger Church. But the Bride's job is to bring this purity to the Church as did Jesus' early disciples.) The steps leading up to the door were made of gold. (The steps of Gold are the most valuable steps a person could take to go through the door who is Jesus.) But the top step had an adjoining white marble floor that ran throughout the whole house. There are two pillars that start where the gold ends. There were two double doors, bright white (Lampros garment of the Bride) made of a substance that I didn't know. (This entrance represents righteous acts Rev.19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [Greek: Lampros] and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. The gold plates around the door handles had an intricate design around the edges. The handles were of round crystal. I opened the doors and in front of me is a huge room. And I strained my eyes to see how far it goes. Then I looked to the left of me, and there were hundreds of doors to the rooms and the same on the right. I'm wearing a white robe with white gloves to the elbows. (The Bride cleaning her house, representing righteous Works) I went to the first door and went to the upper right-hand corner, and then went diagonally down to the left corner. I opened the door and went into the room and closed the door. And did it again on the opposite side. Then I opened the door. And then I inspected the walls. I took my finger and by my height, I slid it across to the corner. (The white glove inspection. If dirt comes up on the finger, there is unrighteousness in the house of the Bride.) Then, from the wall, I bent down to inspect the floor. It passed inspection, so I walked to the bed, bent down, and put my hand under the bed and then I stood up. Then I looked at the bed. (Representing the rest through faith) It was made up of white satin-like fabric. I can see my handprint from kneeling down, so I took my hands and smoothed out the wrinkle that I had made. (The Bride is the first of the Church to be without spot and wrinkle.) The three white pillows were soft and very inviting. Then I walked to the nightstand and gave it the white glove test. There was a beautiful crystal vase. In it were a dozen white roses all at the perfect stage of openness. (Fruit born through water of the Word – A present from the Groom. Rev. 22:1 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, The fragrance of them was throughout the whole room. Then I looked to see the amount of water in the vase. The only color in this dream was the stems. Then I walked to the window and pushed aside the curtain. The window was so clear that you couldn't see it. (Pure of sight) Then I took my finger and went from the upper right corner to go diagonally to the left. There were two windows in the room. They were open an inch each. A slight breeze was coming in. (Breath of the Holy Spirit) Now there was a coolness that blended with the warmness, and you felt it together to make a perfect temperature. I then checked the curtains, and then I walked to the door. I turned around to look at the room for the last time. I noticed that the curtains were barely moving with a slight breeze. Then I remembered to look up at the ceiling. There was no ceiling...just a beautiful deep blue. (Heavenly perspective. Son shining in.) I did this in all the rooms on the right and on the left. In the huge room, I ran my finger over the floor while walking to the kitchen. The kitchen has a white swivel door. Everything is still white. The first thing I saw was a row of ovens. (To bake the pure unleavened Bread of the Word and Body of the Bride.) I know that there are forty ovens. I walk over to give them the test. Then from there I went to the four vintage farmhouse sinks, and they passed inspection. Then I went to the four huge refrigerators, and I opened them. There was no food in them. (To be pure and white, you must have eaten the food of the bread and wine of the life of Jesus.) Inside was only a rectangular glass container that held water with a silver spigot. (Silver kills contaminants in Water. The Water of the Word must be clean of leaven.) All four refrigerators were the same. Then I did the floor test again. There was a door on the right side of the kitchen that went into a very small hall. This led into a big room. At the other end of the room was a huge chair that looked like it was made for a giant. A man was sitting in it with pure white hair and garment. (Rev.1:13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle. 14 And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.) I walked slowly and said very softly, “Sir,” and he said, “Yes.” The inspection is done.” And he said, “OK.” Then I woke up. My feeling was one of total relief and acceptance from Him, and He was pleased. I received by faith at random this text for this dream: Finger was on vs 26, “he made.” Acts 17:24 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us: 28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man. 30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:   Worldwide Holy Spirit Outpouring  Samuel Paguaga - 09/21/2010 (David's notes in red) I think this dream tops all my spiritual dreams in its intensity and revelation. In it, I was in a small gathering of sorts. We were talking and then praying. A bit more had happened before that, but I think the point of this event is that none of what had happened before this mattered. All of a sudden, it was like when you step out of your home straight into the sun at noon. I was overwhelmed with light/energy, not as much as to blind the eyes, but more of a light/energy that penetrated to every cell and fiber of my body. I felt I was no longer physical or fleshly but a new being. As I looked straight forward in front of me, the physical world began to fade, but not because it was disappearing; it was because I began to perceive it in a new way, with new senses, and everything became almost transparent. I looked up and began to speak words in a new language. I was confessing something. Although I could not understand the words, I could feel them in my being. The words were energizing and vibrating my being, my frequency, my entity, my spirit. It was as if all of me became one: my spirit with my mind and my body. As I began to speak, my perception of my surroundings grew. I could feel, perceive, and see all those around me who were experiencing the same thing. First, the two people beside me; then, outwardly, the people in the place; then the whole block; then the city, and then the whole Earth. We, disciples of Christ, were all one and not because we perceived each other, but because we were confessing the same words and because the same flow of energy and power of the Holy Spirit was flowing through us. Although there was a worldwide outpouring, only the vessels of glory, the vessels of light, were filled to the seal. (This could be the first-fruits outpouring at the beginning of the tribulation.) I could feel the power and energy flowing through me, vibrating every part of my being. I spoke words and feelings became more and more intense, so much so that I could not even begin to describe them. I saw everything as white, yellowish, and orange lights, as if everything was transparent. I felt one with the source, at one with the words, and as one with everyone confessing these words. All these feelings of oneness occurred at three distinct levels. All of this along with a feeling of peace; it was as if this was a new nature, and I knew what it was. I experienced the whole thing even when I awoke. It seemed like I knew what was happening. I knew what the source was, what the energy and power was, and the meaning of the words. I woke up shortly afterward, possibly on the last word spoken, although in the dream it seemed like from that point on things would not be the same. As I awoke, I could almost feel the vibration of energy in my being as it dispersed into the normality of my awakened state. I always wondered, what does it mean to be one with God and His Christ and His Spirit ... and now I know.

We're exploring more information on the Guilt Offering and the Sabbath offering. We'll also discuss the sacrifice for covering an unsolved murder. Finally, we'll look at the rules about imperfect sacrifices and the need for the priests to keep from being defiled. Lev 5:14-19; 6:1-7; 7:1-10, 37-38; Num 28:9-15; Deut 21:1-9;Lev 22:17-28; Ex 23:18; Lev 24:1-9; Num 6:22-27; Lev 21:1-24; 22:1-15 #everydaychristians

Moses continues his instruction on the Feast of Tabernacles. We discuss how this might prophetically relate to the Last Days. We also catch a few last verses we missed on the law concerning Grain offerings. Num 29:23-38; Deut 16;13-15; Levit 23:37-44; Levit 1:1-17;6:8-13;Num 28:1-8;17:8-9 Levit 2:1-16; 6:14-23; Num 15:1-21. #everydaychristians

Today, we'll discuss the summary passages on the fellowship offerings, rules about the location of the sacrifices, and what to do about unintentional sin. Remember, we're still accountable. Lev 5:14-19; 6:1-7; 7:1-10, 37-38; Num 28:9-15; Deut 21:1-9;Lev 22:17-28; Ex 23:18; Lev 24:1-9; Num 6:22-27; Lev 21:1-24; 22:1-15. #everydaychristians

La France accélère dans la course aux infrastructures numériques. Vendredi 28 novembre 2025, le ministère de l'Économie a dévoilé un véritable mode d'emploi pour implanter des centres de données sur le territoire. Objectif affiché : structurer, encadrer et surtout accélérer un secteur devenu stratégique. Aux côtés de Roland Lescure, la ministre déléguée au Numérique, Anne Le Hénanff, a voulu clarifier les règles du jeu. Le signal est fort : 63 sites sont déjà identifiés et plus de 109 milliards d'euros d'investissements annoncés. L'ambition est claire : faire de la France un hub européen majeur du data.Derrière chaque clic, chaque photo stockée, chaque requête d'intelligence artificielle, se cachent des hangars de serveurs fonctionnant jour et nuit. Le guide distingue désormais les petites salles informatiques, les centres de colocation géants, les infrastructures cloud ou encore les datacenters dédiés au calcul intensif pour l'IA. Si l'État s'en mêle autant, c'est pour une raison essentielle : la souveraineté. Héberger les données sensibles sur le sol national permet de se prémunir contre des lois étrangères à portée extraterritoriale, comme le Cloud Act, et de soutenir l'essor des start-up françaises de l'IA, fortement dépendantes de la puissance de calcul. Le déclic est venu du sommet parisien sur l'IA, en février. Une task force réunissant la Direction générale des Entreprises, Business France et RTE a passé le territoire au crible. Résultat : des sites repérés en Normandie, en Occitanie ou dans le Grand Est, afin de désengorger l'Île-de-France, déjà sous forte tension électrique.Car le nerf de la guerre reste l'électricité. Un datacenter moyen consomme entre 50 et 250 mégawatts, l'équivalent d'une petite ville. Le raccordement peut prendre jusqu'à neuf ans. À cela s'ajoute la connectivité, avec la nécessité d'un accès à la fibre et aux hubs de peering, comme Marseille, devenue un carrefour numérique grâce à ses câbles sous-marins. Le volet environnemental n'est pas oublié. Le texte fixe des exigences sur l'eau, le refroidissement et l'efficacité énergétique, avec un objectif de PUE à 1,20 d'ici 2030. La récupération de la chaleur devient également obligatoire pour les grandes installations. Enfin, l'argument économique reste décisif : un datacenter de 100 mégawatts crée une cinquantaine d'emplois directs et apporte des recettes fiscales significatives. Hébergé par Acast.

Moses talks about some of the Lord's appointed Feasts: the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Passover, Feast of First fruits, Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), Feast of Trumpets. Ex 34:18; Deut 16:1-7; Num 9:13-14; Levit 23:4-8; Num 28:16-25; Deut 16:8, 9-14; Ex 34:22; Levit 23:15-21; Num 28:26-31; Levit 23:23-25; Num 29:1-6. #everydaychristians

We'll discuss reasons we should not ignore studying End Times. More instructions on Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles, and how these relate to the Last Days. More about the scapegoat. Levit 16;1-6;11-1;18-19; 23-25; Num 29:7-11; Levit 16:7-10; 15-17;20-22; 26-28;29-34;23:26-32; Num 29:7-11; Levit 23:33-44; Num 29:12-22; Revelation 7; John 7:37. #everydaychristians

C'est le président français lui-même qui est monté au créneau. En fin de semaine dernière, Emmanuel Macron s'est dit favorable à une interdiction du portable par les lycéens. Une mesure déjà en vigueur dans les écoles et collèges, mais peu respectée. La Suède va encore plus loin, bannissant les écrans du matériel pédagogique et multipliant les investissements pour un retour aux manuels scolaires. Est-ce que tout est à jeter dans les écrans ? Peut-on encore en faire un bon usage ? Quel encadrement ? Pour en débattre : - Marie-Caroline Missir, déléguée générale du Think tank Vers le haut, dédié à la jeunesse et à l'éducation, ancienne directrice générale du Réseau Canopé  - Grégoire Borst, professeur de Psychologie du développement et de neurosciences cognitives de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, et directeur du LaPsyDé, Laboratoire de Psychologie du développement et de l'éducation de l'enfant à l'Université Paris Cité, CNRS - Agnès Fabre, cofondatrice de l'association Éducation Numérique Raisonnée.

CLICK TO PRINT READING CLICK TO GO TO COMMENTS 7993 Verses 43-49. And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the statute of the passover; no son of an alien shall eat of it. And every man’s servant that is bought with silver, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. A lodger and a hireling shall not eat of it. In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not bring out of the flesh abroad from the house; and ye shall not break a bone thereof. All the assemblage of Israel shall perform it. And when a sojourner shall sojourn with thee, and performeth the passover to Jehovah, every male of his shall be circumcised, and then let him come near to perform it; and he shall be as a native of the land; and no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. One law shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in the midst of you. “And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron,” signifies information by means of truth Divine; “This is the statute of the passover,” signifies the laws of order for those who are liberated from damnation and infestations; “no son of an alien shall eat of it,” signifies that those who are not in truth and good are to be separated from them; “and every man’s servant,” signifies a man who is still natural; “that is bought with silver,” signifies who has any spiritual truth; “when thou hast circumcised him,” signifies purification from unclean loves; “then he shall eat of it,” signifies that he shall be with them; “a lodger and a hireling shall not eat of it,” signifies that they who do what is good from mere natural disposition, and those who do it for the sake of their own advantage, are not to be with them; “in one house shall it be eaten,” signifies consociations of accordant goods, that they may together make one good; “thou shalt not bring out of the flesh abroad from the house,” signifies that this good shall not be mixed together with the good of another; “and ye shall not break a bone in it,” signifies the truth of memory-knowledge, that this also must be sound; “all the assemblage of Israel shall perform it,” signifies that this law of order is for all who are in the good of truth and in the truth of good; “and when a sojourner shall sojourn with thee,” signifies those who have been instructed in the truth and good of the church, and have received them; “and performeth the passover to Jehovah,” signifies if he desires to be together with them; “every male of his shall be circumcised,” signifies that his truth must be cleansed from impure loves; “and then let him come near to perform it,” signifies that then he shall be with them; “and he shall be as a native of the land,” signifies that he shall be received as he who is in that truth and good, and has been purified from unclean loves; “and no uncircumcised person shall eat of it,” signifies that he who is in the loves of self and of the world cannot be together with them; “one law shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in the midst of you,” signifies that he who on being instructed receives the truth and good of the church, and lives according to them, shall be as he who, being already instructed, is within the church, and lives a life in agreement with the precepts of faith and of charity. 7994 And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron. That this signifies information by means of truth Divine, is evident from the signification of “Jehovah said,” when the statutes of the church are treated of, as being information or instruction (see n. 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 7769, 7793, 7825); and from the representation of Moses and Aaron, as being truth Divine; Moses internal, and Aaron external (n. 7009, 7010, 7089, 7382). 7995 This is the statute of the passover. That this signifies the laws of order for those who are liberated from damnation and infestations, is evident from the signification of a “statute,” as being that which is from order (of which below); and from the signification of “the passover,” as being the presence of the Lord and liberation from damnation (see n. 7093e, 7867). As regards that which is of order, which is signified by “statute,” be it known that all the statutes commanded to the sons of Israel were laws of order in the external form, but those things which they represented and signified were laws of order in the internal form. Laws of order are truths which are from good; the complex of all the laws of order is the Divine truth proceeding from the Divine good of the Lord. From this it is evident that the Divine Itself of the Lord in heaven is order, the Divine good the essential of order, and the Divine truth its formal. 7996 No son of an alien shall eat of it. That this signifies that those who are not in truth and good are to be separated from them, is evident from the signification of “an alien,” as being those out of the church who do not acknowledge anything of the truth and good of faith, as was the case with the nations in the land of Canaan (see n. 2049, 2115), thus who are not in truth and good; and from the signification of “not eating of it,” as being to communicate and be conjoined with them, thus to be separated from them. In what now follows those are treated of who should eat the passover together, and those who should not. The supper of the passover represented the consociations of the good in heaven; and in the statutes which follow, it is declared who could be consociated and who could not. In general, feasts, both dinners and suppers, in ancient times were made within the church in order that they might be consociated and conjoined as to love, and that they might instruct one another in those things which are of love and faith, thus in the things of heaven (see n. 3596, 3832, 5161). Such at that time were the delights attending their banquets, and such was the end for the sake of which were their dinners and suppers. Thus the mind and the body also were nourished unanimously and correspondently; and from this they had health and long life, and from it they had intelligence and wisdom; and also from this they had communication with heaven, and some had open communication with angels. But as in course of time all internal things vanish away and pass into external ones, so also did the purposes of the feasts and banquets, which at this day are not for the sake of any spiritual conjunction, but for the sake of worldly conjunctions, namely, for the sake of gain, for the sake of the pursuit of honors, and for the sake of pleasures, from which there is nourishment of the body, but none of the mind. 7997 That the paschal supper represented the consociations of angels in the heavens in respect to goods and truths, see above (n. 7836, 7996); and because it represented these, it was ordained that not only every house by itself should then be together and eat, but also that no others should be consociated except those who represent the conjunction of love such as is that of the heavenly societies, and thus that the rest were to be separated. They who are to be separated were the aliens, for by them were signified those who are not in the good and truth of the church; also the lodgers and hirelings, because by these were represented those who from mere natural disposition, and those who for the sake of gain, did good and truth, and made a boast of them. Neither the latter nor the former can be consociated with the angels in the heavens; but when they are allowed to wander about, as is the case when they first come into the other life, before they undergo vastations of good and truth, then when they come toward any angelic society and feel the sphere of sanctity from the truth of the good of innocence which is signified by the blood of the paschal lamb (n. 7846, 7877), they cannot approach, but forthwith flee away because of fear and aversion. 7998 And every man’s servant. That this signifies a man who is still natural, is evident from the signification of “servant,” as being what is natural (see n. 3019, 3020, 3191, 3192, 3204, 3206, 3209, 5305), thus the natural man. The natural man is called a “servant” because it was made to minister to the spiritual man, and also to obey it, as a servant his lord. 7999 That is bought with silver. That this signifies who has any spiritual truth, is evident from the signification of “buying,” as being acquisition and appropriation (see n. 4397, 4487, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5410, 5426); and from the signification of “silver,” as being truth (n. 1551, 2954, 5658), here spiritual truth, because the servant that is bought is in the internal sense the natural man, and therefore the lord who buys is the spiritual man. How this is cannot be known unless it is known how the spiritual buys for itself-that is, acquires and appropriates-the natural. When man is being regenerated, his internal and external, that is, the spiritual and the natural, at first are at variance, for the spiritual wills what is of heaven, but the natural what is of the world. But the spiritual then continually inflows into the natural and brings it into agreement; this is effected by means of truth; and what the spiritual brings to itself in the natural is called “bought with silver,” that is, acquired and appropriated by means of truth. 8000 When thou hast circumcised him. That this signifies purification from unclean loves, is evident from the signification of “to be circumcised,” as being purification from the loves of self and of the world, thus from unclean loves (see n. 2039, 2056, 2632, 3412, 3413, 3462, 7045). 8001 Then shall he eat of it. That this signifies that he shall be with them, is evident from the signification of “eating,” that is, the paschal lamb, together with the rest, as being to communicate and be conjoined (see n. 2187, 5643). For as before said (n. 7836, 7850, 7996, 7997), the paschal supper represented the angelic consociations in respect to goods and truths; and by the statutes concerning aliens, servants, lodgers, hirelings, and sojourners, who are here treated of, is declared in the internal sense who could be consociated, and who could not. Hence it is that by “eating” is signified to be with them, or to be consociated; and by “not eating,” not to be with them, or to be separated. 8002 A lodger and a hired servant shall not eat of it. That this signifies that they who do what is good from mere natural disposition, and those who do it for the sake of their own advantage, are not to be with them, is evident from the signification of “a lodger,” as being those who do what is good from mere natural disposition (of which below); from the signification of “a hireling,” as being those who do what is good for the sake of their own advantage (of which also below); and from the signification of “not to eat of it,” as being not to be with them (of which just above, n. 8001). That a “lodger” denotes what is good from mere natural disposition, is because lodgers were those who came from other peoples, and were inhabitants, and dwelt with the Israelites and the Jews in one house; and “to dwell together” signifies to be together in good. But because, as before said, they were from peoples out of the church, the good which is signified is not the good of the church, but is a good not of the church. This good is called “natural good,” because it is hereditary from birth. Moreover, some have such good in consequence of ill health and feebleness. This good is meant by the good which they do who are signified by “lodgers.”[2] This good is utterly different from the good of the church, for by means of the good of the church conscience is formed in man, which is the plane into which the angels flow, and through which there is fellowship with them; whereas by natural good no plane for the angels can be formed. They who are in this good do good in the dark from blind instinct; not in the light of truth by virtue of influx from heaven; and therefore in the other life they are carried away, like chaff by the wind, by everyone, as much by an evil man as by a good one, and more by an evil one who knows how to join to reasonings something of affection and persuasion; nor can they then be withdrawn by the angels, for the angels operate through the truths and goods of faith, and flow into the plane which has been formed within the man from the truths and goods of faith. From all this it is evident that those who do what is good from mere natural disposition cannot be consociated with the angels (concerning them and their lot in the other life, see n. 3470, 3471, 3518, 4988, 4992, 5032, 6208, 7197).[3] That “lodgers” are those who do not stay in their own land or in their own house, but in a foreign land, is evident in the following passages:The land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; but ye are sojourners and lodgers with Me (Lev. 25:23).Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, be not silent at my tear; for I am a sojourner with Thee, a lodger, as all my fathers were (Ps. 39:12).Abraham said unto the sons of Heth, I am a sojourner and a lodger with you; give me a possession of a sepulcher (Gen. 23:3-4).By a “sojourner” equally as by a “lodger,” is signified a comer and inhabitant from another land, but by a “sojourner” are signified those who were being instructed in the truths of the church and who received them; and by “lodgers” were signified those not instructed in the truths of the church, because they were not willing to receive them.[4] As regards “hirelings,” they were such as labored for hire, being servants, but not bought; that these were called “hirelings” see Lev. 19:13; 25:4-6; Deut. 24:14, 15. As “hirelings” were those who labored for hire, by them in the internal sense are meant those who do what is good for the sake of their own advantage in the world; and in a sense still more interior, those who do what is good for the sake of reward in the other life; thus who desire to merit by works.[5] They who do what is good merely for the sake of their own advantage in the world, cannot possibly be consociated with angels, because the end regarded by them is the world, that is, wealth and eminence; and not heaven, that is, the blessedness and happiness of souls. The end is what determines the actions, and gives them their quality. Concerning those who do what is good merely for the sake of their own advantage, the Lord thus speaks:I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd layeth down His life for the sheep. But he that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and deserteth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf seizeth them, and scattereth the sheep. But the hireling fleeth because he is a hireling (John 10:11-13).Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; destruction out of the north is come. Her hirelings are like calves of the fatting stall; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand, because the day of their destruction is come upon them (Jer. 46:20-21).[6] That lodgers and hirelings were not to be consociated in respect to holy things with those who were of the church, is evident from this:There shall no alien eat of the holy thing: a lodger of the priest, and a hireling, shall not eat of the holy thing (Lev. 22:10).And that from the sons of lodgers were to be bought servants who should serve forever, in the same:Of the nations that are round about you ye shall buy manservant and maidservant; and also of the sons of the lodgers that do sojourn with you, of these shall ye buy, and of their family that is with you, although they have brought forth in your land; and that they may be your possession, and that ye may hand them over for an inheritance to your sons after you, to inherit for a possession; ye shall rule over them forever (Lev. 25:44-46).By the “sons of the lodgers” are signified memory-knowledges which are from mere natural light; that spiritual truths shall rule over these is signified by “servants being bought of the sons of the lodgers for a perpetual possession.”[7] But they who do what is good for the sake of reward in the other life, who also are signified by “hirelings,” differ from those just now spoken of, in that they have as the end life and happiness in heaven. But as this end determines and converts their Divine worship from the Lord to themselves, and they consequently desire well to themselves alone, and to others only so far as these desire well to them, and accordingly the love of self is in every detail, and not the love of the neighbor, therefore they have no genuine charity. Neither can these be consociated with the angels, for the angels are utterly averse to both the name and the idea of reward or recompense. That benefits must be imparted without the end of reward, the Lord teaches in Luke:Love your enemies, and impart benefits, and lend, hoping for nothing again; then shall your reward be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High (Luke 6:32-35; 14:12-14).(Concerning meritorious goods and their quality, see n. 1110, 1111, 1774, 1835, 1877, 2027, 2273, 2340, 2373, 2400, 3816, 4007, 4174, 4943, 6388-6390, 6392, 6393, 6478.)[8] That it is so often said by the Lord that they who do what is good shall “have their reward in heaven” (as in Matt. 5:11, 12; 6:1, 2, 16; 10:41, 42; 20:1-16; Mark 9:41; Luke 6:23, 35; 14:14; John 4:36) is because before he is regenerated a man cannot but think of reward; but it is otherwise when he has been regenerated; he is then indignant if anyone thinks that he benefits his neighbor for the sake of reward, for he feels delight and blessedness in imparting benefits, and not in recompense. (That in the internal sense “reward” denotes the delight of the affection of charity, see n. 3816, 3956, 6388, 6478.) 8003 In one house shall it be eaten. That this signifies the consociations of accordant goods that they may together make one good, is evident from the fact that the paschal supper represented the angelic consociations in heaven, and that each house of the sons of Israel represented a society in particular (see n. 7836, 7891, 7996, 7997). The angelic societies are all distinct from one another according to goods, and this generically, specifically, and particularly (see n. 3241, 4625). They are consociated who are in similar good. That these make one good, is because everyone arises not from one, but from many; for from many things that are various, but still accordant, there is produced a form which makes a one by harmony; in heaven by spiritual harmony, which is that of the goods of love (see n. 3241, 3267, 3744-3746, 3986, 4005, 4149, 5598, 7236, 7833, 7836). From all this it is evident that by “in one house shall it be eaten” are signified the consociations of accordant goods that they may together make one good. (That “to eat,” namely, the passover, denotes to be consociated, or to be with them, see above, n. 8001.) 8004 Thou shalt not bring out of the flesh abroad from the house. That this signifies that this good shall not be mixed together with the good of another, is evident from the signification of “to bring out abroad from the house” as being to give to another to eat, thus to mix with another good than that which belongs to the society; and from the signification of “flesh,” as being good (see n. 6968, 7850). For the societies in heaven are distinct according to the functions of all the members, viscera, and organs in the body (as has been shown at the close of many chapters). By means of correspondence, the function of each member, viscus, and organ bears relation to a peculiar good distinct from any other. From this it is evident that goods are manifold, and that in order that from them distinct forms may arise, which taken together may constitute the most perfect form of heaven, they are by no means to be mixed together; for if they were mixed together the distinction would be lost. This is signified by the command that they should not bring out of the flesh abroad from the house. 8005 And ye shall not break a bone in it. That this signifies the truth of memory-knowledge, that this must be sound, is evident from the signification of “bone,” as being the ultimate in which interior things terminate as in their base, that they may be supported and not spread asunder. Such an ultimate in spiritual things is memory-knowledge; for all spiritual truths and goods flow down according to order to lower things, and finally terminate in memory-knowledges, where they present themselves visibly to man. That “ye shall not break” denotes that it must be sound, is clear. Memory-knowledge is said to be sound when it admits into itself nothing but truths which agree with its good; for the memory-knowledge is the general receptacle. Moreover, memory-knowledges are like the bones in man; if these are not sound, or in their order, as when disjointed or distorted, the form of the body is thereby changed, and the actions in accordance therewith. The truths of memory-knowledge are doctrinal things. 8006 All the assemblage of Israel shall perform it. That this signifies that this law of order is for all who are in the good of truth and in the truth of good, is evident from the signification of “the assemblage of Israel,” as being all truths and goods in one complex (see n. 7830); thus those who are in the truth through which is good, and those who are in the good through which is truth (n. 7957), consequently those who are of the spiritual church. That all these were to perform the passover, was to represent the liberation of those of the spiritual church who had been detained in the lower earth until the Lord’s coming (n. 6854, 6914, 7091, 7849, 7932); their eating together in one house was to represent the angelic consociations in heaven (n. 7836, 7996, 7997); thus by the whole assemblage of Israel performing it was represented the whole heaven. At that time there was nowhere a church, but only the representative of a church, for which were taken the descendants of Abraham from Jacob. Communication with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord, was given by means of the representatives of the church. For this reason it was enjoined upon that nation to strictly observe all the statutes and all the laws, especially the statutes concerning the passover, insomuch that he who was clean and did not perform the passover was to be cut off (Num. 9:13). 8007 And when a sojourner shall sojourn with thee. That this signifies those who have been instructed in the truth and good of the church and have received them, is evident from the signification of a “sojourner,” as being those who were being instructed and were receiving the statutes and laws of the church (see n. 2025, 4444, 7908). It is said “when he shall sojourn with thee,” because by “sojourning” is signified to be instructed and to live (n. 1463, 3672). Thus by “sojourners sojourning with them” are signified not only those who were being instructed in the truth and good of the church and were receiving them, but also those who were living according to them. 8008 And performeth the passover to Jehovah. That this signifies if he desires to be together with them, is evident from the signification of “performing the passover to Jehovah,” that is, eating it, as being to be together with them (see n. 8001). 8009 Every male of his shall be circumcised. That this signifies that his truth must be cleansed from impure loves, is evident from the signification of “to be circumcised,” as being to be purified or cleansed from impure loves (see n. 2039, 2056, 2632, 3412, 3413, 4462, 7045); and from the signification of “male,” as being the truth of faith (n. 749, 2046, 4005, 7838). 8010 And then let him come near to perform it, signifies that then he shall be with them (as above, n. 8008). 8011 And he shall be as a native of the land. That this signifies that he shall be accepted just as is he who is in this truth and good, and has been purified from unclean loves, is evident from the signification of “a native of the land,” as being one who has been born within the church and is in its truth and good, consequently who has been purified from unclean loves. It is said “a native of the land,” because by “land” is signified the church (that “land” in the Word denotes the church, see n. 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2571, 2928, 3355, 4447, 4535, 5577). That “land” denotes the church is because by “land” in the Word is meant the land of Canaan, and by “the land of Canaan” is signified the Lord’s kingdom and church (n. 1413, 1437, 1585, 1607, 1866, 3038, 3481, 3686, 3705, 4116, 4240, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 5757, 6516). By every land named in the Word the angels do not understand the land, but the nation that was there, and along with the nation there is understood the quality of the nation in respect to its spirituality, that is, in respect to that which is of the church. That the idea of the quality of the nation occurs when its land is named, is known, for this is the case even with men, and more so with the angels, who think spiritually about every natural thing. 8012 And no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. That this signifies that he who is in the loves of self and of the world cannot be together with them, is evident from the signification of an “uncircumcised person,” as being one who is in the loves of self and of the world (see n. 2056, 3412, 3413, 7045); and from the signification of “eating of it,” namely, the passover, as being to be with them (of which above, n. 8001). 8013 One law shall there be for the native, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in the midst of you. That this signifies that he who on being instructed has received the truth and good of the church, and lives according to them, shall be as he who being already instructed is within the church, and lives a life in agreement with the precepts of faith and of charity, is evident from the signification of “one law shall there be,” as being a similar right, thus that the one shall be as the other; and from the signification of “the native,” as being one who has been born within the church, and is in its truth and good as to doctrine and as to life (as just above, n. 8011); and from the signification of “the sojourner that sojourneth in the midst of you,” as being one who is being instructed in the truth and good of the church and receives them and lives according to them (of which also above, n. 8007).[2] It is said “in agreement with the precepts of faith and of charity,” on account of the difference; for the life before regeneration is according to the precepts of faith, but after regeneration it is according to the precepts of charity. Before regeneration no one knows from affection what charity is, but only from doctrine; and the man then lives according to the precepts of doctrine, which are called precepts of faith; but after regeneration he knows from affection what charity is, for he then loves his neighbor, and from the heart wills good to him, and he then lives according to a law that is written on him, for he acts from the affection of charity. This state is utterly different from the former state. They who are in the first state are in obscurity in respect to the truths and goods of faith, but they who are in the latter state are relatively in clearness. These see truths and confirm them from enlightenment, while the former do not see truths and confirm them from enlightenment; but from persuasion that the teachings of the church are truths. And because they do not see them from enlightenment, they can confirm falsities equally with truths, and after these have been confirmed, they see them precisely as truths. From all this it can be seen what is meant by living according to the precepts of faith, and what by living according to the precepts of charity.[3] As regards sojourners, it is several times commanded in the Word that no distinction should be made between a native of the land and a sojourner sojourning with them, for the reason that the Gentiles, from whom the sojourners came, are received into heaven equally as well as they who are within the church, when after being instructed they have received the truths of faith. (Of the Gentiles in the other life, see n. 932, 1032, 1059, 2049, 2284, 2589-2604, 2861, 2863, 3263, 4190, 4197.) Hence it was commanded that “as with the native, so with the sojourner;” as in the following passages:And if a sojourner shall sojourn with you, who shall make a fire-offering of an odor of rest to Jehovah; as ye do, so shall he do. As regards the assembly, there is one statute for you, and for the sojourner that sojourneth, a statute of eternity for your generations; as ye are, so is the sojourner before Jehovah. One law and one judgment shall be for you, and for the sojourner that sojourneth with you (Num. 15:14-16).As is the native of you, shall be to you the sojourner that sojourneth with you (Lev. 19:34).One judgment shall be for you; as for the sojourner, so shall it be for the native (Lev. 24:22).When a sojourner shall sojourn with you he shall perform the passover to Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the statutes thereof, so shall he do; one statute shall be for you; as for the sojourner, so for the native (Num. 9:14). 8014 Verses 50, 51. And all the sons of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. And it was in this same day that Jehovah led forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. “And all the sons of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron,” signifies the performing of obedience according to truth Divine; “so did they,” signifies performance from the will; “and it was in this same day,” signifies a state of the presence of the Lord; “that Jehovah led forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,” signifies that the Lord liberated from damnation those who were in the good of truth and the truth of good; “by their armies,” signifies these distinct according to the quality of good from truth. 8015 And all the sons of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron. That this signifies the performing of obedience according to truth Divine, is evident from what was said above (n. 7944), where similar words occur. 8016 So did they. That this signifies performance from the will, is evident from the signification of “doing,” when the word is repeated, as being performance from the will (as above, n. 7945). 8017 And it was in this same day. That this signifies a state of the presence of the Lord, is evident from the signification of “day,” as being time and state (see n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, 7680). That it is a state of the presence of the Lord, is because it was the day of the passover, and by the “passover” is signified the presence of the Lord, and the liberation of those who are of the spiritual church from spiritual captivity and from damnation (n. 7867). That there was liberation then, is signified by what follows in this verse, namely, that “on that day Jehovah led forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.” That this was on the morrow after the passover, is evident from Moses:They journeyed from Egypt on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow after the passover in the eyes of all the Egyptians, while the Egyptians were burying their firstborn that were slain (Num. 33:1-4).(That the presence of the Lord liberates from damnation those who are in good, and brings those who are in evil into damnation, see n. 7926, 7989.) 8018 That Jehovah led forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt. That this signifies that the Lord liberated from damnation those who were in the good of truth and in the truth of good, is evident from the signification of “to lead forth,” as being to liberate; and from the representation of the sons of Israel, as being those who are of the spiritual church, or what is the same, who are in the good of truth and the truth of good (of which above, see n. 7957, 8006); and from the signification of “the land of Egypt,” as being damnation. That “the land of Egypt” here denotes damnation, is because by the state of the Egyptians is now signified damnation (n. 7766, 7778). (That the Lord liberated from damnation those who were of the spiritual church, that is, who were in the good of truth and the truth of good, see n. 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828, 7932.)[2] Their liberation by the Lord when He rose again is signified by the descent of the Lord to the lower regions, and was clearly shown by the awakening of the dead out of the tombs, of which in Matthew:And the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that were sleeping were raised; and going forth out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared to many (Matt. 27:52-53);their going forth out of the tombs, and entering into the holy city, and also their appearing, were for a testification that they, who had hitherto been detained in spiritual captivity, had been liberated by the Lord, and would be introduced into heaven. In the internal sense heaven is signified by “the holy city;” and therefore it is called “the holy city,” when yet it was not holy but profane, seeing that its people had so cruelly treated the Lord Himself, who was represented in all the rituals of their church, and described in the Word that was among them; and thus who had been the God of their church.[3] The like is signified by this passage in Daniel:At that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book. And then many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, these to eternal life, but the rest to shame and everlasting disgrace (Dan. 12:1-2).And also by this in Ezekiel:Prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Behold I will open your sepulchers, and cause you to come up out of your sepulchers, O My people; and I will bring you upon the land of Israel, that ye may know that I am Jehovah, when I shall open your sepulchers, and shall cause you to come up out of your sepulchers, O My people, and I shall put My spirit in you, that ye may live, and I shall place you upon your land, that ye may know that I Jehovah have spoken it, and performed it, said Jehovah (Ezek. 37:12-14);where by “the land of Israel” or of Canaan is meant heaven (n. 8011). By these words in the prophet is described the new creation or generation of man, and also the vivification by the Lord of those who are of the spiritual church. 8019 By their armies. That this signifies these distinct according to the quality of good from truth, is evident from the signification of “armies,” as being goods and truths (of which above, n. 7988); “by their armies” signifies that they who are represented by the sons of Israel were made distinct according to the quality of good from truth. (That all in the other life are distinct and conjoined according to goods, see n. 7833, 7836, 8003.) It is said “according to the quality of good from truth,” because all good has its quality from truth, and is thereby varied (n. 3804, 4149, 5345, 5355, 6916). 8020 From the statutes and laws concerning the eating of the paschal lamb, which are treated of in this chapter, it is clearly evident that there are heavenly secrets contained and hidden in every detail, and that without knowledge from the internal sense nothing is known but a mere ritual in an external form, and nothing heavenly, still less Divine. As for instance, why the paschal animal was to be a lamb or a kid; why the animal was to be a male, and a son of a year; why it was to be killed on the fourteenth day of the month; why its blood was to be sprinkled upon the posts and the lintel; why it was to be eaten roasted with fire, with unleavened bread upon bitter herbs, and not raw or boiled in water; why it was to be roasted with its head upon its legs and upon its midst; why they were not to leave anything of it until the morning, and why that which was left was to be burned with fire; why they were to eat unleavened bread seven days, and why whosoever ate leavened bread was to be cut off; why an alien, a lodger, and a hireling were not to eat of it, but a man’s servant that is bought with silver, and a sojourner, if they were circumcised; why it was to be eaten in one house, and none of the flesh taken out of doors; why a bone was not to be broken in it. What these and very many other particulars involve, and why they were commanded, would be utterly unknown, unless the laws of order in the spiritual world to which they correspond, were known, and unless it were known from the internal sense what each detail signifies in that world, that is, in heaven; and especially unless it were believed that in all things there is something spiritual. If there were not something spiritual in the whole and in each detail, the angels who are with man when he reads the Word would comprehend but little, indeed scarcely anything, from the Word; for the angels comprehend spiritually all things that have been described in the Word in a natural manner. 8021ON THE SPIRITS AND INHABITANTS OF THE PLANET JUPITER, CONTINUED.One of those spirits of Jupiter who strike terror by their coming, as already described, applied himself to my left side beneath the elbow, and spoke from there; but his speech was harsh, nor were the words quite discrete and separate from one another, insomuch that I was obliged to wait long before I could gather the sense; and while he was speaking he also interjected something of terror. He said that so it is done on their earth, and that they are sent in advance to a man, before their angels come to him, and in this manner they prepare him. He admonished me also to receive them well when they came. But it was given me to answer that this is not my affair; but that with me all are received just as they themselves are. 8022 Afterward the angels of that earth came, and it was given me to perceive from their speech with me that they are utterly different from the angels of our earth; for their speech was not effected by means of words, but by means of ideas which diffused themselves through my interiors on all sides, and from there had also an influx into the face, so that the face concurred to every particular; beginning from the lips, and proceeding toward the circumference on all sides. The ideas which were in the stead of words were discrete, but in a slight degree. They said that so do they speak with their own people on their earth; and that there also the speech is of the face, beginning from the lips. 8023 Afterward they spoke with me by means of ideas still less discrete, insomuch that scarcely any interval was perceivable; it was in my perception like the meaning of words with those who attend only to the meaning abstractedly from the words. This speech was more intelligible to me than the former, and was also more full. It flowed into the face in like manner as the former, but the influx was more continuous, in accordance with the nature of the speech. It did not, however, begin from the lips, like the former, but from the eyes. They said that so also do they speak with their own people on their earth; but with those there who enjoy a more interior sense and discernment than the rest. 8024 Afterward they spoke in a manner still more continuous and full; and then the face could not concur by a suitable movement; but there was felt an influx into the brain, and this was then acted upon in a similar manner. 8025 Lastly they spoke in such a way that their discourse fell only into the interior understanding; its fluency was like that of a thin aura. I perceived the influx itself, but not distinctly the particulars. They said that there are men of their earth also with whom they speak in this manner, and that they are those who after death are immediately carried up into heaven. 8026 These kinds of speech are circumstanced like fluids; the first kind is like fluent water; the second is like water more attenuated; the third is relatively like the atmosphere; and the fourth is like a thin aura. 8027 The spirit above mentioned, who was on the left side, sometimes interrupted the conversation, admonishing me especially to deal discreetly with his angels; for there were spirits from our earth who occasioned such things as excited displeasure. He also said that he did not understand what the angels spoke; but that he did afterward when he removed to my left ear. His speech then was not harsh as before, but like that of other spirits. 8028 From this it could be seen how the case is with the order in heaven, and from this in the world; namely that when angels are about to come, a spirit is sent before to prepare the way, and that he excites fear, and gives admonition to receive the angels courteously; and that he interrupts; also that at first he does not understand what the angels speak, but afterward when he has been reduced to a better state he understands; in a word, that he is continually at hand, and prepares the lower mind, and endeavors to avert things unworthy. In regard to this there occurred to me a thought about John the Baptist, that it was according to the order of heaven for him to be sent before and announce the coming of the Lord, and that he should prepare the way that He might be worthily received, according to what is written in Matt. 3:3; Luke 1:17; 3:4; John 1:23. 8029 From what has already been occasionally related about the state of man after death, it is evident that there are few who at once enter heaven when they come into the other life; but that they stay for some time beneath heaven, in order that the things belonging to earthly and bodily loves, which they have brought with them from the world, may be removed, and they may thus be prepared to be capable of being in society with the angels. The case is similar with the men of all the earths, namely, that after their decease they are at first beneath heaven among spirits; and afterward, when they are prepared, they become angels. When the spirits of that earth were becoming angels it was given me to see that there appeared bright horses as of fire, by which they were carried up, like Elijah. Bright horses as of fire signify an enlightened understanding (that “horses” in the Word signify what is of the understanding, see n. 2760-2762, 3217, 5321, 6125, 6534); and the “horses of fire and chariots of fire” which carried away Elijah, signify the understanding of the Word as to its interiors (n. 2762). 8030 This angelic heaven to which they are carried away is the first heaven, or the last of the three. This heaven appears to the right from their earth, and is quite separate from the first or lowest heaven of the angels who are from our earth. They who are in this heaven appear clothed in azure dotted with little golden stars; for they believe this color to be the veriest heavenly color. When they are in the world, and contemplate the starry heaven, they call it the abode of the angels; and for this reason the azure color is loved by them. 8031 The spirits of that earth are utterly unwilling to be in fellowship with the spirits of our earth, because they differ in disposition and manners; for they say that the spirits of our earth are cunning, and are ingenious in plotting evils, and that they know and think little about what is good; also that they do not, as they do, acknowledge the one only Lord. Moreover, the spirits of the earth Jupiter are much wiser than the spirits of our earth, of whom they also say that they speak much and think little, and thus that they cannot interiorly perceive many things, and not even what good is. From this they conclude that the men of our earth are external men. 8032 The subject of the spirits and inhabitants of the planet Jupiter will be continued at the end of the following chapter.

Ao entrar no elevador para fazer entrevistas sobre o filme “Sonhos de Trem” (Netflix), a primeira coisa que ouvi de um jornalista americano foi: “Qualquer frame do filme dá um quadro maravilhoso”. Ele não sabia que o diretor de fotografia era brasileiro, mas sem perceber, acabou me dando a manchete e resumiu exatamente o que tantos profissionais têm repetido sobre o trabalho de Adolpho Veloso.  Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles O nome de Veloso circula nas principais publicações de Hollywood, entre os favoritos na corrida ao Oscar na categoria de Melhor Fotografia. Nesta última semana, ele já apareceu na shortlist do Critics' Choice Awards, premiação da principal associação de críticos de cinema dos Estados Unidos. Veloso, que mora em Portugal e carrega o Brasil na memória e no olhar, veio a Hollywood para participar do lançamento do filme e das campanhas de premiações. E parece ainda se surpreender com essa repercussão. “É muito louco. Você nunca imagina, quando está filmando, que isso vai acontecer. Não é uma coisa que faz muito sentido, ao mesmo tempo, é tão surreal que eu prefiro nem pensar tanto. E é um ano extremamente difícil, com muito filme bom, acho que é um dos melhores anos do cinema nos últimos tempos”, contou à RFI. Ele confessa que, como muitos artistas, vive crises profundas durante o processo. “É incrível ter esse reconhecimento, principalmente pela quantidade de crises que a gente tem filmando, que você acha que nunca mais vai filmar na vida. A primeira vez que assisti esse filme no cinema, pensei: ‘Meu Deus, isso está horrível, nunca mais vou conseguir trabalho'. E ver essa reação agora, que é o completo oposto, dá forças para seguir”. Memórias e naturalismo Em “Sonhos de Trem”, dirigido por Clint Bentley e inspirado na novela de Denis Johnson, acompanhamos Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), um lenhador do início do século XX, que vive longos períodos longe da família. A atmosfera é de recordações borradas, sensações e silêncios, algo que nasceu de forma muito consciente entre Clint e Adolpho. “A gente queria muito que, ao assistir ao filme, parecesse que você estivesse vendo as memórias de alguém, quase como se encontrasse uma caixa com fotos antigas e tentasse entender a vida daquela pessoa, às vezes meio fora de ordem, e você tenta entender quem foi aquela pessoa por aquelas fotos”, explica. Um brasileiro nos anos 1920 Filmado inteiramente no estado de Washington em apenas 29 dias, um feito raro para um longa de época, o projeto exigiu uma maratona por florestas intocadas, vales, zonas devastadas e cenários naturais extremos. A natureza no filme é praticamente uma personagem. “Num filme de época, às vezes é difícil para quem o assiste se conectar, porque tudo é tão diferente. Então queríamos trazer mais realidade, mais conexão. Filmamos só com luz natural e uma câmera bem orgânica, como se você estivesse lembrando de algo que viveu”. Veloso, que nasceu em São Paulo e hoje vive em Portugal, encontrou na história de Grainier uma identificação imediata. “Quando o diretor me mandou o roteiro, pensei: essa vida é basicamente a minha. Esse cara que fica meses longe de casa, trabalhando com gente que talvez nunca mais vai ver… é assim para quem faz cinema. Voltar para casa sempre é estranho, leva dias para sentir que você pertence de novo. Tem as questões de perda, de imigração, da gente ser estrangeiro numa terra diferente, e isso tem consequências”. Olhar brasileiro encontra caminho em Hollywood A trajetória até Hollywood foi, como ele mesmo diz, “aos poucos”. Começou filmando no Brasil, trabalhou com Heitor Dhalia, assinou filmes e documentários, entre eles “On Yoga”, que chamou a atenção de Clint Bentley. Quando Bentley preparava “Jockey” (2021), buscava justamente alguém que transitasse entre ficção e documentários. Encontrou Veloso e o contactou por e-mail. Anos depois, “Sonhos de Trem” se tornaria o segundo filme da dupla. Além de estar nas previsões de Melhor Fotografia para o Oscar, a produção, que já está disponível na Netflix, aparece com possíveis indicações de Melhor Filme, Melhor Ator (possivelmente para Joel Edgerton) e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado. O Brasil que sempre volta Quando lhe pergunto se leva algo do Brasil para seus filmes, a resposta vem quase antes da pergunta terminar: “O nosso jeitinho.” Não no sentido estereotipado, mas na criatividade diante do impossível, no drible às burocracias rígidas de sets americanos. “Aqui tudo é muito engessado e a gente não está acostumado com isso. Aqui, você tem uma ideia e já ouve um não: isso custa tanto, precisa disso, daquilo. E às vezes não precisa de tudo isso. Digo, e se a gente só fizer assim? E funciona.” Reconhecimento Conto a ele que vários jornalistas comentaram comigo espontaneamente sobre a fotografia do filme, sem saber que ele era brasileiro. Veloso abre um sorriso tímido, um pouco surpreso, um pouco orgulhoso. É o tipo de reconhecimento que o Brasil inteiro deveria ouvir. E talvez ouça, quem sabe, no palco do Oscar.

Aos 8 anos, Matias, o filho que foi diagnosticado com autismo, chamou-o de pai pela primeira vez. Uma experiência que viria a marcar o cantor angolano para a vida. Matias Damásio compartilhou como foi crescer durante a guerra civil, ter de enfrentar a pobreza extrema e a violência. Aos 12 anos, foi vítima de abuso sexual. Lidou com esse trauma sozinho, sem ajuda psicológica, e esse trauma viria a afetar as suas relações amorosas futuras, confessa. Abordou a perda de um irmão por falta de assistência médica e como isso quase o fez desistir. “Num contexto de pobreza dá-se valor à vida, às coisas pequenas, como ter almoço, ter jantar, poder beber um copo de água, poder estar vivo, poder dar abraços”, acrescenta. Matias reflete ainda sobre a sua trajetória artística, os sacrifícios pessoais, a saudade, e os sonhos que o motivam, destacando o papel da música como força transformadora. Eis a história de vida de Matias Damásio, no dia em que sobe ao Meo Arena para um grande concerto. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01598 – 29 de novembro de 2025 Efésios 3:6 – A saber, que os gentios são coerdeiros, membros do mesmo corpo e coparticipantes da promessa em Cristo Jesus por meio do evangelho. O Novo Testamento nunca se refere àqueles que se unem à igreja como “membros”, no sentido em que a palavra é utilizada hoje. Somos “membros” do corpo de Cristo, em sentido orgânico, mas não como “membros” em termos de “afiliados”, participantes de uma agremiação ou de um tipo de clube. O termo membro, no sentido bíblico, expressa a ideia de unidade, respeito, cooperação e solidariedade. Você já observou que em um corpo saudável os membros nunca estão em luta interna ou em competição? Imagine: os dedos dos pés passam a maior parte da vida apertados, sob pressão e peso, em uma atmosfera menos que recomendável, sendo vistos apenas por poucas pessoas. Mas nunca ouvimos dizer de artelhos inconformados que quisessem ser joelho ou nariz. Você pode imaginar por que a igreja, às vezes, é fraca, perdendo sangue em lutas internas, “mordidas” e ataques de uns aos outros? Num corpo, os membros são mais que mero ajuntamento de partes. Cada parte vive para a preservação da outra. Já pensou se um pé fosse amputado porque pisou no outro? E se os dentes fossem arrancados porque morderam a língua? Ao contrário disso, eles pertencem a uma unidade. A língua, embora tenha o poder da fala, não diz: “Vamos nos livrar desses dentes”. Imagine se alguns membros se aliassem contra o resto do corpo, como às vezes acontece na igreja. Dentro do “clube maior”, com frequência encontramos a existência de “clubinhos” e “panelinhas”, afirmando: “Eu sou de Pedro, eu sou de Paulo, eu sou de Apolo”, ou menos “sou melhor que todos, pois eu sou de Cristo”, em pretensa superioridade espiritual. Muitos estão satisfeitos pensando na igreja como uma agremiação, com algumas regras fixas, em que os “afiliados” devem assistir a algumas reuniões, fazer contribuições periódicas e viver “mais ou menos” de acordo com as normas do clube. Jesus eliminou essa hipótese, referindo-Se a Seus seguidores não como “membros”, mas como discípulos dEle (Mt 10:24,25; Jo 8:31; 13:35, etc.). Assim, os discípulos de Cristo são “membros” apenas quando isso é entendido em termos bíblicos. Unidos organicamente ao corpo, parte uns dos outros, sob a autoridade de Cristo, que é a cabeça da igreja (Ef 1:22,23). Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Pai, que o Teu amor e a Tua graça resultem em unidade e cooperação entre Teu povo. Que sejamos Teus fiéis discípulos em todas as ocasiões.

LEVITICUS 6 — THE LAW OF ASHAM (GUILT & RESTORATION)“Restitution, Purity, and the Continual Fire of Yahuah”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class dives into Leviticus 6 — The Law of Asham (Guilt Offering), where Yahuah reveals how broken trust, withheld restoration, and neglected fire threaten the entire covenant structure of Israel.This is not ritual.This is Yahuah's justice system.Leviticus 6 exposes the covenant breaches that demand confession, restitution, and priestly action:1. Lying or deceiving a neighbor (Lev 6:2)2. Stealing, extorting, or withholding property (Lev 6:2–3)3. Failing to return lost items (Lev 6:3–4)4. Breaking trust or violating agreements (Lev 6:2, 5)5. Neglecting the continual altar fire (Lev 6:9–13)6. Mishandling ashes and purity (Lev 6:10–11)7. Misusing what is qodesh in service (Lev 6:16–23)8. Ignoring vessel laws and boundary purity (Lev 6:28)Each trespass connects directly to Exodus 21–23, the backbone of Yahuah's justice architecture:Life is sacredProperty is protectedTestimony is bindingOaths are covenantalRestitution is requiredNegligence equals guiltSacred space must be guardedThe vulnerable must be defendedLeviticus 6 is the continuation of covenant justice — not a separate ritual.---

Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16 reveals the consequences of rejecting God's appointed authority. Though he was a Levite with sacred responsibilities, Korah desired the priesthood, a role God had not given him. His ambition led to destruction as “the ground opened and swallowed him and those who followed him alive” (Num 16:32–33). This account is not merely historical. Jude uses it to expose spiritual danger within the church, where some claim spiritual authority while resisting God's order. Jude identifies three […] The post Dead Religion: The Way of Korah appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.

The story of Ruth begins with these words: In the days when the judges governed (v. 1a). Just before Joshua died after a lifetime of faithful service, he warned all of Israel: Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness. Put away the gods your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve... But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Josh. 24:14-15) The book of Judges recounts Israels history shortly after entering the promised land, and just in the second chapter, we are told: Then the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals, and they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers... (Jud. 2:11-12), which characterizes the tone and climate of Israels spiritual health. The book of Judges also concludes with the words: In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes (Jug. 21:25). While in the wilderness, God warned Israel that there would be consequences to their choices, especially when it came to their trust of God and obedience to God: Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. Otherwise, the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and He will shut up the sky so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then you will quickly perish from the good land which the LORD is giving you (Deut. 11:16-17) As we move from Judges into the book of Ruth, the opening five verses immediately shed light on the spiritual condition of Naomis husband, Elimelech. These verses reveal how Elimelech, in his role as both husband and father, deeply influenced the direction and well-being of his family. The famine in the land did not just reflect a lack of physical food; it also mirrored the spiritual famine within Elimelechs own heart and soul. There are some things I want to point out to you that I believe will help you appreciate just how relevant this book is to us today. First, let me begin by stating that Bethlehem means house of bread yet there was no bread in Bethlehem because there was famine in the land due to Israels disobedience. God had promised that He would bless His people if they obeyed Him, so the reason why there was no bread in Bethlehem was because of Israels unfaithfulness, not Gods unfaithfulness. Second, we are told that Elimelech was a man of Bethlehem in Judah..., which means that he belonged to the tribe of Judah. God called Elimelech to live in Bethlehem, yet he chose to move to Moab because he believed that he and his family could thrive in a place outside of where God called him to live. Some of the things that Elimelech had to know about Moab was that the people originated out of an incestuous relationship after Lots older daughter got him drunk for the purpose of having sex with her father so that she could become pregnant with his child (Gen. 19:30-38). Secondly, the Moabites were known for their scheming to get Israel to sin against God (Num. 22-24). Thirdly, the Women of Moab were known for seducing the Israelite men for the purpose of getting them to worship the gods of Moab (Num. 25). Moab was not a place for a family to thrive spiritually, but this is the place that Elimelech took his family to live. The other important detail we need to consider is that while Naomis name means Pleasant nothing about her life seemed pleasant. Her husbands name meant God is my king but he certainly did not live like God was his king. The meaning of the names of their two sons were, Mahlon (Weakness, sickness) and Chilion (destruction, failure); both men took for themselves Moabite women who did not grow up worshiping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; taking Moabite women as wives was something God commanded Israel not to do (see Deut. 7:1-4). Noamis husband and both of her sons died, leaving her with nothing but two daughters-in-law who were also destitute with no husband or male child. Naomi Suffered Loss When Naomi left Bethlehem with her husband and two sons, she leftfull. Because of the famine in the land (v. 1), moving to Moab must have felt like the right decisionan act of survival for the sake of their family. But while in Moab, tragedy struck. Her husband, Elimelech, died. Then her two sons married Moabite women, Orpah and Ruthsomething God had warned His people against because of the danger of idolatry (Deut. 7:23). And after marrying these women, both of Naomis sons also died, leaving her with two widowed Moabite daughters-in-law and no descendants of her own. Naomi had lost the three most important men in her life, along with any hope of lineage, inheritance, or security. There was nothing for her in Moab, and because of her husbands death after leaving Bethlehem, there was nothing but maybe the kindness of her relatives back in Judah. So when she returned to Bethlehem, it is no surprise that she no longer wanted to be called Naomi, which means pleasant. She asked instead to be calledMara, meaning bitter. She explained the bitterness in her own words: The Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went away full, and the LORD has brought me back empty (vv. 2021). Ruth: A Woman of Excellence Naomi failed to recognize the blessing her Moabite daughter-in-law truly was. When Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem, she urged both Orpah and Ruth to go back to their own people and gods in Moab. While Orpah left to go back to her people and her gods, Ruth decided to remain with Naomi and even declared to her mother-in-law: Do not plead with me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you sleep, I will sleep. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me, and worse, if anything but death separates me from you. (1:1618). One reason Naomi discouraged Ruth from coming back with her was concern for Ruths safety. There was significant hostility between Moabites and Israelites. This is clear in chapter two, after Ruth entered a field belonging to Boaz. Everyone in the field knew Ruth was a foreigner, as the foreman explained to Boaz, She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from Moab. Boazs response reveals the real danger Ruth faced. He spoke kindly to her, saying, Listen carefully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but join my young women here. Keep your eyes on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have ordered the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw (Ruth 2:89). Ruths foreign status exposed her to rejection, prejudice, and mistreatmentyet she chose to stay with Naomi anyway, embracing uncertainty and risking lifelong exclusion. Her courage did not go unnoticed. In chapter three, Boaz calls Ruth a woman of excellence (3:11)a term that carries the sense of valor, honor, and strength of character. Remarkably, the same word is used of Boaz in 2:1, while you do not see it in the way the NASB translated Ruth 2:1, just about every other translation does recognize this: Now Naomi had a relative of her husbands, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. The parallel is deliberate. The narrator wants us to see that Ruth and Boaz are kindred spiritstwo people marked by integrity, bravery, and covenant faithfulness in a time when such qualities were rare in Israel. Boaz: A Kinsmen Redeemer Boaz is the third important character in the story of Ruth, for he is the only one qualified to serve as Naomis kinsman-redeemer. Every kinsman-redeemer had to meet three qualifications: He had to be a family member, He had to have the ability to redeem, and He had to be willing to redeem. A kinsman-redeemer held several responsibilities in the Old Testament: he could buy back family land lost to famine or debt (Lev. 25:2530), redeem relatives who had sold themselves into slavery (Lev. 25:4755), avenge the unlawful death of a family member (Num. 35; Deut. 19; Josh. 20), and step in when a family member faced a wrong they could not fix on their own. Naomi needed that kind of help. She had lost her husband and both sons. She had no land, no security, and no hope. Ruth could not redeem her, so she went out to glean in the fieldsa provision God had given for the poor and the foreigner (Lev. 19:910). Thats where we first meet Boaz. He told Ruth, Do not go to another field I have ordered the young men not to touch you (Ruth 2:89). Ruth bowed in gratitude, asking why he would show kindness to a foreigner. Boaz told her he had heard of her loyalty to Naomi and her trust in Israels God (2:1113). He saw Ruth as a woman of excellenceworthy of honor and protection. When Naomi learned how Boaz treated Ruth, she urged Ruth to approach him at the threshing floor. Though the scene might look questionable at first glance, Ruth 3:613 makes it clear: both Ruth and Boaz acted with purity and integrity. Ruth lay quietly at his feet, and when Boaz awoke, she said, Spread your wings over your servant, for you are a redeemer. She wasnt tempting himshe was invoking covenant language, the same wings imagery Boaz used earlier of the LORDs care (see 2:12). Boaz responded with joy: I will do all that you ask, for everyone knows you are a worthy woman (3:11). He was both willing and able to redeem her. And he did. So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son (4:13). Through Boaz, Naomis emptiness was replaced with joy, and Ruth was blessed with a godly husband and a son. The women of the town celebrated: Then the women said to Naomi, Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. May he also be to you one who restores life and sustains your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him. Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. And the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, A son has been born to Naomi! So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David. (4:14-17) What began in sorrow ended in joy. What started with loss ended in redemption. God used a barley field, a faithful woman, and a willing redeemer to bring about His plannot just for Naomi and Ruth, but through Boaz and Ruth the line of the kings would come with the birth of David by whom all other kings would be compared in Israel. This leaves us with the point of this little book in the Bible. There is a True and Better Redeemer Boaz was not only Naomis redeemerhe was also a picture of the Redeemer who would one day come through his and Ruths own bloodline. Boaz was only a shadow of a true and better Boaz. Remember the announcement of Jesus birth delivered by the angels to lowly shepherds: And so the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David [Bethlehem] there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11). It was the disobedience of Israel that led to the famine that compelled Naomis husband and sons to leave where there was no bread to a place that led to a deeper and more severe famine that left Naomi empty. God used all of the hard things in Naomis life so that another Son would be born in that same city to do what no other person was able to do; Jesus said of Himself: I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty (John 6:35). When Adam and Eve bit into the forbidden fruit, creation was cursed and humanity was lost. Eden was forfeited, and mankind was expelled from Gods presence. The only way for Eden to be restored and the curse removed was for another Adam to comeone who was related to humanity, who had the ability to redeem what was lost, and who was willing to carry out the redemption. Ruth and Boaz had a son named Obed; Obed fathered Jesse; Jesse fathered David. Many generations later, Jesus was born to Maryconceived supernaturally while she remained a virginqualifying Him uniquely as the Kinsman-Redeemer mankind and creation needs. How was Jesus qualified? Jesus had to be a family member of humanity, and He was, as demonstrated by the human bloodline recorded in Scripture. Jesus had to have the ability to redeem, which He had because the virgin birth made Him both fully God and fully manperfectly qualified to redeem creation. Jesus had to be willing to redeem, and that willingness led Him to the cross, where He became our curse and took our sin upon Himself. Jesus did not remain dead. On the third day He rose in victory! Our Kinsman-Redeemer lived the perfect life we could not live, died as the sin-bearer though He was spotless, and then conquered death itself. All of heaven rejoices that the Redeemer who was slain now standsaliveinterceding for us: Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals, for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth (Rev. 5:910). And maybe thats where you need hope today. Perhaps you are living with the consequences of choices you made years ago. Perhaps bitterness has taken root because life did not turn out the way you imagined. Perhaps, like Naomis family, you have wandered far into Moabfar from God, far from joy, far from where you began. But hear the good news:the book of Ruth declares that no one is too far for Gods love, grace, and mercy to reach. If God can take a famine, a foreigner, and a broken widow and weave them into the lineage of King David and ultimately Jesus Christ HimselfHe can redeem your story too!

LEVITICUS 5 — THE LAW OF ASHAM (TRESPASS)“Accountability, Restoration, and the Fear of Yahuah”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class dives into Leviticus 5 — The Law of Asham (Trespass), where Yahuah reveals how hidden guilt, broken oaths, and neglected responsibility fracture covenant order.This is not ritual.This is Yahuah's justice system.Leviticus 5 exposes the five forms of trespass that demand confession and restitution:1. Withholding truth (Lev 5:1)2. Touching death unknowingly (Lev 5:2–3)3. Rash or impulsive oaths (Lev 5:4–5)4. Misusing what is qodesh (Lev 5:15–16)5. Sin done in ignorance (Lev 5:17–19)Each connects directly to Exodus 21–23, the backbone of Yahuah's justice architecture:Life is sacredProperty is protectedTestimony is bindingOaths are covenantalRestitution is requiredNegligence equals guiltThe vulnerable must be defendedLeviticus 5 is the continuation of covenant justice — not a separate ritual.

Gilles Babinet, multi-entrepreneur, président de Café IA et ancien président du Conseil National du Numérique, est une figure incontournable pour décrypter les enjeux numériques européens. J'ai la chance de connaître Gilles depuis près de 15 ans et, à chaque conversation, je suis toujours frappé par la richesse de sa pensée et la profondeur de ses analyses. Il a ce talent rare de rendre limpide des sujets complexes, sans jamais céder à la facilité ni au sensationnalisme.Dans cet épisode, nous plongeons ensemble dans une réflexion aussi essentielle qu'urgente : celle de la souveraineté numérique. En tant qu'Européens, nous utilisons massivement des services américains ou chinois – des réseaux sociaux à l'IA en passant par le cloud – sans toujours saisir les implications profondes que cela entraîne sur notre liberté de penser, notre démocratie et notre modèle de société.J'ai questionné Gilles sur des sujets qui me tiennent à cœur : la domination des plateformes, le rôle des IA génératives dans la manipulation de l'opinion, le techno-féodalisme, l'inaction européenne, mais aussi les possibles voies de résistance. Nous avons parlé des alternatives européennes, de la culture du risque, de la productivité réelle de l'IA mais également du paradoxe de Solow.C'est un épisode dense, sans concession, mais qui propose aussi des pistes de solutions concrètes. Parce qu'il ne s'agit pas seulement de critiquer, mais de reprendre le contrôle de notre destin technologique. Bonne écoute !5 citations marquantes“La technologie est le nerf invisible de la puissance.”“Si on ne fait rien, l'Europe disparaîtra en tant qu'acteur numérique.”“Les réseaux sociaux nous contaminent avec la vision du monde de leurs créateurs.”“L'IA n'est pas neutre, elle a une induction programmée.”“Faire, même crado, vaut mieux qu'un rêve parfait.”10 questions posées pendant l'interviewPourquoi l'Europe a-t-elle perdu la course au numérique ?Qu'est-ce que la souveraineté numérique, concrètement ?Comment les réseaux sociaux influencent-ils nos démocraties ?En quoi l'IA aggrave-t-elle ces enjeux ?Peut-on encore construire des alternatives européennes crédibles ?Que révèle le cas Spotify sur nos usages numériques ?Pourquoi les médias deviennent-ils eux aussi “putaclic” ?Comment développer une culture numérique populaire en Europe ?Quel est l'impact réel de l'IA sur la productivité ?L'IA va-t-elle vraiment remplacer massivement les emplois ?Timestamps clés 00:00 – Introduction sur la vassalisation numérique de l'Europe02:15 – Le parcours atypique de Gilles Babinet, autodidacte04:00 – Qu'est-ce que la souveraineté numérique ?08:30 – Trump, Microsoft et les risques de dépendance géopolitique13:30 – L'impact cognitif des réseaux sociaux17:30 – Peut-on concilier démocratie et IA ?20:00 – TikTok et la manipulation électorale24:00 – Le paradoxe de nos choix technologiques (cloud, IA)29:00 – Pourquoi l'Europe n'a pas de champions numériques ?34:00 – IA et productivité : déconstruire les fantasmes42:00 – L'Europe : autostoppeur ou puissance d'avenir ?
