« Le Travail d'Isaïe » d'Albert J. Nock, essai publié en 1936 dans The Atlantic Monthly, nous invite à une réflexion sur le rôle du prophète engagé dans sa vocation la plus sacrée : transmettre à ses frères un message salvateur, provoquer chez eux une prise de conscience de la plus grande importance quand tout menace de s'écrouler. « Isaiah's Job » est un texte original sur le fond et sur la forme. Il n 'avait curieusement jamais été traduit en français. Si tu fais partie du Reste, si tu es un Remnant – tu vas découvrir le sens de ces termes - si tu es lucide et attentif, si dans les spasmes violents qui secouent notre société tu reconnais l'expression d'une de ces métamorphoses qui bouleversent avec une tragique régularité nos civilisations, alors oui Isaiah's Job va te mettre en mouvement. Albert J. Nock (1870-1945) est un intellectuel critique social américain et une figure clé dans le développement du courant libertarien moderne. Ses œuvres les plus célèbres - Memoirs of a Superfluous Man et Our Enemy, the State - ont inspiré des personnages aussi influents que William F. Buckley Jr. et Ron Paul, ou Murray Rothbard et Ayn Rand. Malgré son impact significatif, Nock reste peu connu, et ce texte offre donc pour beaucoup d'entre nous un premier aperçu de ses idées sur la liberté individuelle et la critique de l'État.A l'issue de cette lecture nous retrouverons Yamari, corsaire malouin, ardent défenseur du bon sens paysan, passionné d'histoire épris de liberté pour une discussion passionnante qui nous ouvrira bien des horizons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIENS : 1) L'essai en anglais sur le Mises Institute Isaiah's Job d'Albert J.

     As Christians, the Bible reveals we live in a fallen world and face attacks on three fronts. These include Satan, the world, and the flesh. First, Satan is a fallen angel who rules and leads other fallen angels to rebel against God. Fallen angels are also referred to as evil spirits, unclean spirits, and demons. Second, Satan and his demonic forces have created a world-system that is wholly opposed to God and His will. Satan's world-system is a realm of spiritual darkness that envelops lost humanity—and carnal Christians—and consists of those philosophies, values, and practices that appeal to pride and the flesh. Third, the flesh refers to the fallen sinful nature that every person possesses (including Christians), which constantly entices us to act contrary to God and His Word. These three spiritual dangers threaten the Christian's spiritual life and effectiveness in the world. Though eternal salvation cannot be lost, the Christian can become a casualty of war and traitor to God's cause. Our Enemy the Devil      Many think of Satan as the counterpart of God; but this is wrong. God is the Creator, whereas Satan is merely a creature. God is infinitely and eternally good, whereas Satan was created good, but then turned away in rebellion, leading others to follow, both angels and people. Satan is not the counterpart of God; rather, he is the counterpart of those angels who maintained their allegiance to God. To understand this is to contrast Satan with good angels where, as a creature, he properly belongs.      The Bible reveals Satan was originally created a holy angel of the class of cherubim; however, because of pride (Ezek 28:11-18), he rebelled against God (Isa 14:12-14), and convinced many angels to follow him (Rev 12:4, 7). The name Satan is derived from the Hebrew שָׂטָן Satan which means “adversary, opponent, accuser, opposing party…[or] the one who hinders a purpose”[1] The Greek Σατανᾶς Satanas carries the same meaning and is used “in a very special sense of the enemy of God and all of those who belong to God.”[2] Other names for Satan include the shining one, or Lucifer (Isa 14:12), the evil one (1 John 5:19), the tempter (1 Th 3:5), the devil (Matt 4:1), the god of this world (2 Cor 4:4), the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10), the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2:2), the serpent (Rev 12:9), and the great red dragon (Rev 12:3). Further, Satan is a murderer and liar (John 8:44), is compared to a lion that prowls about, looking for someone to devour (1 Pet 5:8), and one who disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).      Lucifer became Satan at the time of his rebellion when he declared, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”  (Isa 14:13-14). Pentecost states, “The desire of Satan was to move in and occupy the throne of God, exercise absolute independent authority over the angelic creation, bring the earth and all the universe under his authority, cover himself with the glory that belongs to God alone, and then be responsible to no one but himself.”[3] Satan seeks to operate independently of God's plan for him, and he leads others, both saved and unsaved, to do the same. Lucifer introduced sin and death to the first humans when he convinced them to turn from God and eat the forbidden fruit (Gen 2:16-17; 3:1-7). At the time of the fall, Adam handed his kingdom over to Satan, who has been ruling this world since (Luke 4:5-6).      Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world. When Jesus began His public ministry, He faced a series of tests from Satan, one of which was an offer to receive the kingdoms of the world without going to the cross. Satan told Jesus, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6). Satan took possession of “this domain and its glory” by God's permission and man's sin, presumably, when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and follow Satan (Gen 3:1-8). Satan said to Jesus, “Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours” (Luke 4:7). Satan's offer had to be true in order for the temptation to be real. At some time in the future, Satan will share his authority with the Antichrist, because he advances his agenda (Rev 13:1-2). Three times Jesus referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). Other passages of Scripture call Satan “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), informing us “that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Satan rules as a tyrant who has “weakened the nations” (Isa 14:12), and currently “deceives the whole world” (Rev 12:9). He personally attacked Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-7), Job (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-13), David, (1 Chr 21:1), Joshua the high priest (Zec 3:1-2), Jesus (Matt 4:1-11), Judas (John 13:27), and Peter (Luke 22:31-32). He continues to attack God's people today (1 Pet 5:8), practices deception (2 Cor 11:13-15), and has well developed strategies of warfare (Eph 6:10-12). Furthermore, humanity is living in an “evil age” (Gal 1:4), under “the dominion of Satan” (Acts 26:18), whose sphere of influence is called “the domain of darkness” (Col 1:13). Dr. Steven R.

Alan Moore is one of the most important comic book and graphic novel creators in the business. His work has subverted the comic book genre and put radical ideas into the mainstream. Most known for his works “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta,” more puts anarchist and anti-authoritarian views into those series. In our latest, Scott talks with author Kristian Williams about his new book, “The Illuminist – Philosophical Explorations in the Work of Alan Moore,” which looks at the anarchist politics of Alan Moore. They discuss his subversion of long standing literary and comic book genres, characters and storylines in "The Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta," and, of course the origins and nature of Moore's anti-authoritarian political philosophy. This episode is another segment in our ongoing series on how Arts and Culture raises political consciousness. Bio// Kristian Williams has been involved in anarchist movements since the 1990s. He's also the author of “Our Enemies in Blue,” and books on Oscar Wilde and George Orwell. ——- Outro- “Green and Red Blues” by Moody Links// + “The Illuminist: Philosophical Explorations in the work of Alan Moore” (https://bit.ly/3B3Ujgh) + Kristian's website: https://www.kristianwilliams.com/ Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Can I ask you a question? Why is it that we Christians in America tend to be surprised by the supernatural? Think about what it is that we say we believe. We believe the Bible to be true and supernaturally inspired by God Himself. Because we believe the Bible to be supernaturally inspired, we believe God created all things by the act of His omnipotent will. Because we believe the Bible to be inspired by God, we believe that there was a serpent in the Garden who successfully tempted Adam and Eve to sin, that Satan does indeed exist, as does his legions of demons. One of my favorite stories about the fight between the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness is the one found in 2 Kings 19:8-37. We do not have the time to read the entire story, but I do think it is worth pointing out a few things that happened in order to teach how we can respond to the threats of our day. Judahs king, Hezekiah, received a letter from the king of Assyria that read: Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria. Behold, you yourself have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be saved? Did the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed save them: Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? (2 Kings 19:1012) What was Hezekiahs response? He stood firm against his enemy in the way his great grandfather David encouraged Gods people to do: Some praise their chariots and some their horses, but we will praise the name of the Lord, our God (Ps. 20:7). Here is Hezekiahs response: Then Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord. Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, Lord, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Incline Your ear, Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, Lord, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to taunt the living God. It is true, Lord; the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, and have hurled their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but only the work of human hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. But now, Lord our God, please, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God. (2 Kings 19:1419) God didnt use Hezekiahs chariots or horses, but instead, He sent the angel of the Lord and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. So, when we read stories like that, how is it that we are surprised? When we read Ephesians 6:10-13 and are warned about the demonic realm consisting of rulers, powers, world forces of this darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places... how is it that we do not take such warnings as seriously as we ought? Throughout the gospels we read of Jesus encountering the demonically possessed and how the demons were terrified of Him. We read of the Jewish exorcists in Ephesus who went from place-to-place attempting to mimic the kinds of miraculous things they saw Paul do in the name of Jesus. At one point, in an effort to cast out the demons the Jewish exorcists said: I order you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches! The evil spirit responded: I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you? We are then told that the demon possessed man, pounced on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded (see Acts 19:11-16). I wonder if Paul recalled these stories when he wrote, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). As we consider Ephesians 6:12-13 this morning, there are two points that we dare not miss. The first is, Our enemy is spiritual, strategic, and satanic. The second point is, Our fight is direct, dangerous, and dogged. Our Enemy is Spiritual, Strategic, and Satanic What Paul wants us to understand is that when it comes to the world that Jesus said would hate us because it hated Him, that our struggle was NOT against flesh and blood. In other words, our enemy does not include those who reject Jesus or embrace the ideologies of this world, but instead our enemy includes, ...the rulers, the powers, the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (v. 12). Ephesians 6:10-13 is the most explicit reference to the Christians struggle against evil forces that we have in the Bible. It cannot be any clearer than this! There is no real way to tell if Paul is describing an authority structure within the demonic realm, but it does seem that way from everything else I read in the Bible. Let me begin by sharing five things that we know about angels from the Bible: Angels are spirit beings that possess personhood, created for the glory of God (Ps. 148:2-5), and are a part of the created order (see also Job. 38:4-7; Isa. 6:2-4; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:14; 12:22; Rev. 4:8). Angels are temporarily above man but will be subject to judgment by Jesus church at the judgment (1 Cor. 6:2-3). Meanwhile they are unusually strong, swift and intelligent, and can take the appearance of man (see Ps. 103:20; Dan. 9:21; Ezek. 28:12; 1 Pet. 1:11-12; Gen. 18:1-3; Mk. 16:5). Angels are limited in ways that man is not. Angels cannot marry, man can (Matt. 22:30; 19:4-6); angels cannot experience redemption, man can (2 Pet. 2:4; Rom. 5); angels are created as angelic beings while man is created in the image of God (Ps. 148:2-5; Gen. 1:27). Angels possess personhood: intellect, emotion, and will (emotion: 1 Pet. 1:12; intellect: 1 Pet. 1:12; will: Jude 6). Angels seem to be ranked by authority (1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7; Eph. 6:12; Col. 1:16; Isa. 6:2; Ezek. 28:14). Lucifer was Gods guardian cherub (Ezek. 28:12-17) who seems to have out ranked all the other angels, there is at least one archangel (1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 1:9), cherubim (Gen. 3:24; Ezek. 10:1-22), seraphim (Isa. 6:2-3), and a multitude of angels (Rev. 5:11ff). We are told that the there was a war in heaven; the timeframe of when the war happened is unclear. I believe the war happened sometime between creation and Genesis 3 when we are first introduced to Satan as the serpent. The angels who sided with Lucifer (the dragon) are now known as demons. Here is what we read in Revelation 12:7-9, And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him (Rev. 12:79). The rulers, powers, world forces of darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness are those angels who sided with Satan in his war against God. Although Satan is only one demon who cannot be in more than one place at a time, he has command over millions of demons who obey his every command. Our enemy is spiritual, our enemy is strategic, and our enemy is satanic. Our enemy is very real and although limited, they are capable of the following: Demons can provide superhuman strength to the victims they possess (Mark 5:1-20; Acts 19:16). They have the same capability that angels have in that physical barriers cannot restrict them (Mark 5:9-13; Dan. 9:21-23; 10:10-14). Demons can physically harm, oppress, and possess humans (see Matt. 9:32-33; 12:22; 17:15; John 13:21-30; Acts 16:16-18; 19:11-16). Behind every idol, false teaching, and anything that is against Christ are demons (1 Cor. 10:14-22; Gal. 4:3-9). Demons can influence nations, world leaders, and governing authorities (read the books of Daniel and Revelation as an example). It is good to have a right and biblical understanding of demons, but you must also understand that the Bible teaches us that they have no power over the Christian because of our relationship with Jesus who redeemed us! If there is any bit of anxiety in what you have just heard about the demonic, consider what Colossians 2:13-15 promises: And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. (Col. 2:1315) Our Fight is Direct, Dangerous, and Dogged Jesus did indeed disarm the rulers and authorities through His sacrifice upon the cross and His triumph over the grave with His resurrection. However, we are warned that we are still in a fight, and that our fight is with the demonic forces that stand opposed to God. In this fight, we are to stand strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might by putting on the full armor of God. Our fight is a struggle; the Greek word that we get the word struggle (ά) from is a word used to describe the kind of fight that comes in the form of close hand-to-hand combat. The point is that we must be prepared for the enemys attacks from afar or up close, and the enemy brings his fight against us in all shapes and sizes! It comes in the form of slander, false teaching, and the temptation to sin. Our fight can come in the form doubt, depression, and deception. Our struggle can be with the temptation to sin against God and others. The battle can come in the form of persecution from friends, family, or state authorities. The evil day includes a greater evil that is coming, but it also includes any day you find yourself face to face with the enemys attacks or find yourself in his crosshairs from a distance. The evil day will be the final cataclysmic satanic attack that will come just before Jesus second coming. The evil day is your entire life as a Christian from new birth to physical death. The evil day includes those days in the Christian life when the onslaught of the enemy seems the strongest. The evil day are those days when the temptation to sin is more of a struggle than usual. So, Christian, how will you resist in the evil day? You do so by taking up the only help available to you that has been provided by God Himself: Take up the full armor of God. The three imperatives of Ephesians 6:10-13 are as follows: Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God. Take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day. When you have done everything to put on the full armor of God, only then can you stand firm. Stand firm with and in all of Gods truth. His truth is the only truth that matters. Stand firm with the breastplate of Christs righteousness. All of Christs righteousness is now your righteousness. Stand firm in the peace of God as a beneficiary of His mercy. You are a child of God almighty. Stand firm with a shield of faith, saturated by the water of the word of God. God is infinitely bigger than all your problems, but you will not know that unless you receive it from His word. Stand firm with the helmet of salvation, which is the assurance that you belong to the One who chose you, redeemed you, and sealed you with His Holy Spirit. What can man do to you ultimately when the God of Life is for you? Stand firm with the ability to handle the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You have the Word of God that is the authority of God who is able to change lives.

We read of the Jewish exorcists in Ephesus who went from place-to-place attempting to mimic the kinds of miraculous things they saw Paul do in the name of Jesus. At one point, in an effort to cast out the demons the Jewish exorcists said: I order you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches! The evil spirit responded: I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you? We are then told that the demon possessed man, pounced on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded (see Acts 19:11-16). I wonder if Paul recalled these stories when he wrote, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). As we consider Ephesians 6:12-13 this morning, there are two points that we dare not miss. The first is, Our enemy is spiritual, strategic, and satanic. The second point is, Our fight is direct, dangerous, and dogged. Our Enemy is Spiritual, Strategic, and Satanic What Paul wants us to understand is that when it comes to the world that Jesus said would hate us because it hated Him, that our struggle was NOT against flesh and blood. In other words, our enemy does not include those who reject Jesus or embrace the ideologies of this world, but instead our enemy includes, ...the rulers, the powers, the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (v. 12). Ephesians 6:10-13 is the most explicit reference to the Christians struggle against evil forces that we have in the Bible. It cannot be any clearer than this! There is no real way to tell if Paul is describing an authority structure within the demonic realm, but it does seem that way from everything else I read in the Bible. Let me begin by sharing five things that we know about angels from the Bible: Angels are spirit beings that possess personhood, created for the glory of God (Ps. 148:2-5), and are a part of the created order (see also Job. 38:4-7; Isa. 6:2-4; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:14; 12:22; Rev. 4:8). Angels are temporarily above man but will be subject to judgment by Jesus church at the judgment (1 Cor. 6:2-3). Meanwhile they are unusually strong, swift and intelligent, and can take the appearance of man (see Ps. 103:20; Dan. 9:21; Ezek. 28:12; 1 Pet. 1:11-12; Gen. 18:1-3; Mk. 16:5). Angels are limited in ways that man is not. Angels cannot marry, man can (Matt. 22:30; 19:4-6); angels cannot experience redemption, man can (2 Pet. 2:4; Rom. 5); angels are created as angelic beings while man is created in the image of God (Ps. 148:2-5; Gen. 1:27). Angels possess personhood: intellect, emotion, and will (emotion: 1 Pet. 1:12; intellect: 1 Pet. 1:12; will: Jude 6). Angels seem to be ranked by authority (1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 9; Rev. 12:7; Eph. 6:12; Col. 1:16; Isa. 6:2; Ezek. 28:14). Lucifer was Gods guardian cherub (Ezek. 28:12-17) who seems to have out ranked all the other angels, there is at least one archangel (1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 1:9), cherubim (Gen. 3:24; Ezek. 10:1-22), seraphim (Isa. 6:2-3), and a multitude of angels (Rev. 5:11ff). We are told that the there was a war in heaven; the timeframe of when the war happened is unclear. I believe the war happened sometime between creation and Genesis 3 when we are first introduced to Satan as the serpent. The angels who sided with Lucifer (the dragon) are now known as demons. Here is what we read in Revelation 12:7-9, And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him (Rev. 12:79). The rulers, powers, world forces of darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness are those angels who sided with Satan in his war against God. Although Satan is only one demon who cannot be in more than one place at a time, he has command over millions of demons who obey his every command. Our enemy is spiritual, our enemy is strategic, and our enemy is satanic. Our enemy is very real and although limited, they are capable of the following: Demons can provide superhuman strength to the victims they possess (Mark 5:1-20; Acts 19:16). They have the same capability that angels have in that physical barriers cannot restrict them (Mark 5:9-13; Dan. 9:21-23; 10:10-14). Demons can physically harm, oppress, and possess humans (see Matt. 9:32-33; 12:22; 17:15; John 13:21-30; Acts 16:16-18; 19:11-16). Behind every idol, false teaching, and anything that is against Christ are demons (1 Cor. 10:14-22; Gal. 4:3-9). Demons can influence nations, world leaders, and governing authorities (read the books of Daniel and Revelation as an example). It is good to have a right and biblical understanding of demons, but you must also understand that the Bible teaches us that they have no power over the Christian because of our relationship with Jesus who redeemed us! If there is any bit of anxiety in what you have just heard about the demonic, consider what Colossians 2:13-15 promises: And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. (Col. 2:1315) Our Fight is Direct, Dangerous, and Dogged Jesus did indeed disarm the rulers and authorities through His sacrifice upon the cross and His triumph over the grave with His resurrection. However, we are warned that we are still in a fight, and that our fight is with the demonic forces that stand opposed to God. In this fight, we are to stand strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might by putting on the full armor of God. Our fight is a struggle; the Greek word that we get the word struggle (ά) from is a word used to describe the kind of fight that comes in the form of close hand-to-hand combat. The point is that we must be prepared for the enemys attacks from afar or up close, and the enemy brings his fight against us in all shapes and sizes! It comes in the form of slander, false teaching, and the temptation to sin. Our fight can come in the form doubt, depression, and deception. Our struggle can be with the temptation to sin against God and others. The battle can come in the form of persecution from friends, family, or state authorities. The evil day includes a greater evil that is coming, but it also includes any day you find yourself face to face with the enemys attacks or find yourself in his crosshairs from a distance. The evil day will be the final cataclysmic satanic attack that will come just before Jesus second coming. The evil day is your entire life as a Christian from new birth to physical death. The evil day includes those days in the Christian life when the onslaught of the enemy seems the strongest. The evil day are those days when the temptation to sin is more of a struggle than usual. So, Christian, how will you resist in the evil day? You do so by taking up the only help available to you that has been provided by God Himself: Take up the full armor of God. The three imperatives of Ephesians 6:10-13 are as follows: Be strong in the Lord and the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God. Take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day. When you have done everything to put on the full armor of God, only then can you stand firm. Stand firm with and in all of Gods truth. His truth is the only truth that matters. Stand firm with the breastplate of Christs righteousness. All of Christs righteousness is now your righteousness. Stand firm in the peace of God as a beneficiary of His mercy. You are a child of God almighty. Stand firm with a shield of faith, saturated by the water of the word of God. God is infinitely bigger than all your problems, but you will not know that unless you receive it from His word. Stand firm with the helmet of salvation, which is the assurance that you belong to the One who chose you, redeemed you, and sealed you with His Holy Spirit. What can man do to you ultimately when the God of Life is for you? Stand firm with the ability to handle the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You have the Word of God that is the authority of God who is able to change lives.

Is peace with Putin even possible? In the early days of Russia's war on Ukraine, negotiations seemed viable. Then came Bucha and the revelations of Russian atrocities on Ukrainian soil. Now Russia is again “putting out feelers” for peace talks – but would negotiation simply give Putin a chance to consolidate his gains and regroup for more? Oz Katerji tells the story of the “missed chance” of peace talks in Istanbul in October 2022, the myth that Boris Johnson sank them, and the danger of new ceasefire discussions, especially under Trump. He speaks to Yaroslav Trofimov – Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal and author of Our Enemies will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence – and Brookings Institute fellow Dr Angela Stent, author of Putin's World. • “When Ukrainian forces entered Bucha, that was when everyone realised what happens under Russian rule… That it is not just a war to replace a government, it's a war with genocidal intent.” – Yaroslav Trofimov • “This war will be decided by which society cracks first.” – Yaroslav Trofimov • “There are election posters up in Moscow which say ‘Russia has no borders'… There is no indication that Russia is serious about a peace deal.” – Angela Stent Support This Is Not A Drill on Patreon to get early episodes, merchandise and more.

We have special guest POET in the studio! We'll be catching up with him about his plans for the 2024 & discussing - Our Enemies of Progress

This week Janth and Dre discuss the pressure to identify yourself in Hollywood. Dre crowns herself a triple threat (actor/writer/director) but Janth has a bone to pick. They also give a full recap of their highly anticipated dinner date--outfit descriptions and full menu breakdown included (it's giving Lily Rose Depp and Timothée Chalamet #tbt) . Some important topics are discussed: the politics of sucking toes and eating ass, polyamory on the red carpet, and the importance of tasting...yourself. OUR ENEMIES, Slobbish Behavior, and Are You Friends with Your Mom This Week? all make a captivating return. Ultimately, Janth and Dre are just two girls wondering how being dirty, nasty little piggies could be so wrong when it feels so right?!

We can't lie about this, it's Halloween when we recorded this. In spirit of the holiday, John Anthony and Andrea reflect on their Halloweekends of present and of yore, on the pains and pleasures of picking the right costume, and share a little story of a sexy masked encounter. John Anthony updates us on the 10 (disappointing) and learns a really strange fact about Andrea that he truly never knew and let's just say...it's shocking. OUR ENEMIES! segment is filled to the brim (we hate a lot of people this week! (we are brave and honest about that) (but also what we have to say is very creative and not what you may be thinking so get ready for that)). Janth and Dre ponder many questions: Do we have DSL's?? How do you pronounce the word won??? Have we finally become...influential??? They may not have the answers but, if there's one thing they know for sure, John Anthony is always congested and Andrea is always sweating.

Sometimes when you think you have nothing to say...it's your time to speak up. And that's how this episode was born. This week your sexy little hosts discuss why Andrea is dressed like a 1950s woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, why we are embarrassed about the celebrities we've met (served in a restaurant setting), and chat about the kooky-ooky joy of seeing Dicks: The Musical! (Before you ask: yes we ARE open to seeing Killers of the Flower Moon). OUR ENEMIES segment returns and leads Janth and Dre to discover the answers to man's greatest mysteries: what is the secret thrill of a group dinner/is there enough food in nature?? We also chat about the politics of moving in with your lover of 3 months and...we need to talk about the shoe rack, dang NABBIT!! (You'll get it. (Trust.))

It's time to air our grievances. Scratched and botched no more, this episode contains the much anticipated unveiling of a formerly redacted segment we like to call, "OUR ENEMIES". We know what you're thinking-Live and let live! Let go! Forget the haters! If it were up to us, we'd agree with you but...we have a podcast. So, restaurant villains, rude airlines, even Mother Nature herself are deliciously scrutinized! In addition, your horny hosts talk too much about farts in this episode (I'm sure you're not surprised). Would you dare fart in front of your family? Your friends?? Your LOVERS??? It turns out there's nothing more vulnerable (or hilarious) than passing gas. Janth and Dre also discuss why Queen Charlotte is making them so horny and what's really going on with the third installment of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Today we have the May 20, 1943, episode of “This is Our Enemy,” which was produced by New York's WOR, the flagship station of the Mutual network.

There are 3 major sections in the book of Ezekiel. The first one is all about Israel's past, and why God did what He did. The third one is all about Israel's future, and what God is preparing. This middle one, which we cover in one sermon, (so you should do yourself a favor and go read it all comprehensively... ch. 25-32) is all about: “God's Animus for Our Enemies”.

Romans 7 tells us a lot about our decisions to be followers of Jesus. What we learn quickly is that it is a journey, not a destination. We will have moments of ups and downs. Somedays we will be salt and light, and other days we will slip back into our sinful ways. Our Enemy and the world will call us hypocrites, but our Heavenly Father will call us a beautiful disaster and loved. The journey is a painful one, but worth the fight.

What You Need to Know is Donald Trump is still in charge of the media. Once again, every major network is giving minute-by-minute coverage of Trump's travel to New York, and once again they are totally underestimating him and his strength and style. Liberals are even complaining about the coverage! But the desperate media needs a ratings boost and they're falling into the Trump Trap they did in 2016. The more the world sees the system attack him, the more politically powerful Trump becomes.   John Schlafly, co-author and editor of the Phyllis Schlafly Report, talks about this week's column — Don't Play Nuclear Chess Against Russia. We are getting stuck into an incredibly dangerous quagmire with bad actors who are raising the stakes. Plus, Trump in New York as well as a look at American monetary and energy markets. Find the Schlafly Report weekly at Townhall and PhyllisSchlafly.com.  Dr. Ted Malloch, business man, author, and prolific writer, talks about his column Our Enemy. Make no mistake, Malloch warns, Vladimir Putin is a card-carrying Leninist who is trying to hurtle his nation back toward the Soviet state! Don't fall into the trap of thinking Putin's an alright guy.

Our Enemies are Also God's Enemies: Reflections from Psalm 83 One of the truths of Scripture that has changed things for me is the understanding that as God's child, my enemies are His enemies.  We see in Psalm 83 how the enemies of Israel are the enemies of God.  What we see is a powerful way to pray when we are up against something bigger than ourselves.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How does it feel to think about our enemies being God's enemies?  How does that change your perspective, spiritually, about the ways the enemy has kept you bound in the past?  Spend some time in prayer as you process this today. Today's Key Verse: Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Need to chat one on one?

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're re-airing Scott's 2020 interview with Kristian Williams about his book, Resist Everything Except Temptation: The Anarchist Philosophy of Oscar Wilde. Transcription (thanks to MKE Lit Supply!) PDF (unimposed) Zine (imposed PDF) From the original post: I found this interview extremely illuminating, perhaps like many other people who might not have strong ties to either academia or popular education models of learning, I had sort of written Oscar Wilde off as this kind of white dead rich guy who carried little to no relevance apart from a model of queerness that we could look back on. This interview very much proved that this isn't the case, and that he and the circumstances around him very much influence how we as queers and as anarchists can sense historical threads that pull on our lives very tangibly today. Thanks a million to Scott for researching and conducting this interview! You can learn more about the author, Kristian Williams, who is most known for his book Our Enemies in Blue, which is a critical history of American policing and police, at his website kristianwilliams.com.

Monsignor Ruscitto gives this sermon based on the Book "My Catholic Faith" written by the Most Reverend Louis LaRavoire Morrow, S.T.D. Bishop of Krishnagar. Chapter 88: Our Enemies and Our Friends "Anyone deeply interested in converts seeks an exposition of the Catholic Faith which not only defines each article of the Creed and each doctrine of the Church, but which also gives an explanation and a reason for the doctrine," writes Fulton J. Sheen in the Foreword to this classic of religious instruction. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/william-j-avila/support

Word of God - Absolute Truth ● 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. ○ When we aren't “experiencing it” ○ When we don't “feel it” ○ When we don't “understand it” ○ When the “theologians say otherwise” ○ When we “don't agree” Lay down our life ● Matt 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. ○ We are trading our ways for His ways ○ We are trading sorrow, stress, & sickness for joy, peace and health. ● Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ● Gal 6:8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ○ Verse 10 says “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all...” We come to serve ● Matt 20:17-28 The Message ○ Jesus came to serve those who were held hostage by sin. Seek the Kingdom of God ● Luke 12:31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. We Forgive ● Mark 11:25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” We Walk in Love ● John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” We Pray for Our Enemies ● Matt 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you We are Generous ● 1 Tim 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, 19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. ● 2 Cor 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. We are Doers of the Word ● James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
