When we face uncertainty, when life gets hard, when things happen that we can’t explain, we’ll often ask: Where is God? But every Christian should realize they are never alone. Jesus is with you. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in this message. Notes: Focus verse - Genesis 22 Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; For You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Sometimes our feelings need to catch up with our faith. #1 Joseph was in a prison cell. He probably felt all alone and abandoned. He was there, not because he broke a law, but because he kept one—God’s law. God was in the prison cell with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)"You meant it for evil; but God meant it for good—to save many people alive.” #2 Let’s go from a prison to a palace and think of Esther. Queen Vashti, to her credit, refused. She would not be humiliated or objectified, not even by the king. Vashti is a role model for young girls and women today.Don’t ever let some guy reduce you to a mere object. You are a woman made in the image God. If you present yourself cheaply, don’t expect to be valued royally. A man needs to value you for who you are on the inside, not only the outside. The most attractive thing is to be a godly and principled woman. Through the providence of God, Esther became the queen of Persia. God is always at work in the life of the believer, every hour of every day. God is now here! Providence comes from the Latin prōvidentia; “pro” meaning "before" or "ahead of time” and “videntia” meaning “to see.” God is in control. #3 The story of Israel at the Red Sea.They were between a rock and a hard place. Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Exodus 14:13–14 (NLT) Colossians 1:16–17 Exodus 14:19 A Christophany is an appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. John 8:56–58 (NKJV)"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" John 8:56–58 (NKJV)Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM!" Luke 24:27 The disciples on the Emmaus Road were literally listening to God incarnate describe His Old Testament appearances. Jesus didn’t begin in Bethlehem; He has always been. The story of redemption started a long time ago in a garden. The Christmas story begins with a tree: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve sinned and lost that sweet fellowship with God. Genesis 3:8 (NLT)“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden.” We can never escape the presence of God. When you walk with God, it is a source of comfort. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” James 1:14–15 (NLT)“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow,it gives birth to death.” The Bible says, “Christ was slain from the foundation of the world.” Genesis 3:15 Pharaoh tried to exterminate the Jews starting with the Hebrew baby boys. Wicked Haman tried to have the Jews wiped off the face of the earth. King Herod hearing that one was born, “King of the Jews,”tried to kill Jesus, but that too failed. Nothing would stop Messiah from coming.Nothing will stop Christ from coming again either. #4 The story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. Read Genesis 22 The two of them went together.Genesis 22:8 That is exactly what happened when Jesus went to the cross for us. This gives a glimpse of Calvary from the Father’s perspective, sacrificing His Son, His only Son. Genesis 22:11 Christ died in our place and absorbed the wrath of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Daniel 10 reveals one of the most powerful encounters in Scripture. After 21 days of prayer and fasting, Daniel is visited by a radiant angelic messenger who unveils a vision of future kingdoms and the battles yet to come. This messenger explains the fierce resistance of the Prince of Persia—a demonic power—before the archangel Michael arrives to fight alongside him.This chapter exposes the reality of angels, demons, and spiritual warfare shaping the course of history. It ties directly to the end times, the book of Revelation, and the signs of the times, showing how God's prophetic plan unfolds both on earth and in the unseen realm.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xenophon was a philosophy student, a Socratic thinker, and a pampered Athenian aristocrat who signed up for a mercenary road trip into Persia and accidentally became one of the greatest battlefield leaders in Greek history. When his army's generals were betrayed and slaughtered, Xenophon—who had never commanded a single soldier—rallied 10,000 stranded warriors and led them on a 4,000-mile retreat through enemy territory, across deserts, mountains, and hostile kingdoms, surviving ambushes, starvation, and snowblindness. This is the story of how a student of Socrates marched his way into legend—and inspired everyone from Alexander the Great to the creators of cult classic movie The Warriors.  Can you dig it?!

He was a nobleman, related to the imperial houses of Persia and Armenia. When these two houses went to war with one another, Gregory withdrew to Caesarea in Cappadocia, where he heard the Gospel proclaimed and came to faith in Christ. There he also married and had two sons. After his wife's death he returned to his homeland and served in the court of Tiridates, king of Armenia. When the king discovered that Gregory was a Christian, he subjected the Saint to many tortures, finally having him cast into a pit full of mire and poisonous reptiles. But Gregory was miraculously kept alive in the pit for fourteen years, during which a widow secretyly provided for his needs. King Tiridates, still cruelly persecuting the Christians in his land, eventually went mad and became like a wild animal. In a dream, the king's sister was told that her brother would only be restored to sanity when Gregory was freed from the pit. This was done, and Gregory healed and baptised his persecutor. At the king's request, Gregory was made bishop of Armenia. As bishop he brought countless thousands to faith in Christ and is counted as the Enlightener of Armenia. In old age he retired into ascetical life, and reposed in peace.

This week, Tommy is joined by actors (and power couple) Joseph Morgan and Persia White! Joseph shot to fame with his iconic portrayal of the devilish villain, Klaus Mikaelson in The Vampire Diaries which led to the creation of his very own spin-off series, The Originals, because the world needed more of his epic character. Persia shot to fame after the world fell in love with her character, Lynn, in the 8-season hit series, Girlfriends, which followed the lives of four black women and told such powerful and groundbreaking stories. Today, Joseph opens up about what he is most proud of in bringing Klaus to life, what scene of his he would show to someone who has never watched TVD/The Originals, what he really thinks about that Caroline and Klaus relationship, if he ever finds himself slipping back into Klaus all these years later, if he is ready to revisit this character and much more. Persia opens up about celebrating the 25th anniversary of Girlfriends, if she would revisit her beloved role in a new project, why she got ridiculed and attacked in her personal life for being someone on and off screen that stood up for what she believed in, a storyline she would have loved to play, and much more. And together, they dive into their epic love story and both share something that they have never said before.

When Shakespeare wrote Othello, he set his Moorish general against the “general enemy Ottoman.” Elsewhere in his plays, he invoked “Turks,” “Saracens,” and “infidels”—terms that reveal just how present the Islamic world was in the English imagination. From Elizabeth I's diplomatic exchanges with Persia to the cultural impact of the Ottoman Empire, the Islamic world loomed large in the politics, religion, and drama of Shakespeare's England.This week, we're joined by Dr. Chloe Houston (University of Reading), a leading authority on Persia in early modern drama, and Dr. Mark Hutchings (University of Valladolid), whose research explores England's engagement with Islam on the Renaissance stage. Together, they unpack how Elizabethans understood the Ottomans, Persians, and North Africans, and how those encounters shaped both history and Shakespeare's works.Discover how global trade, diplomacy, stereotypes, and real-life ambassadors influenced depictions of Moors, Persians, and “Turks” onstage, and why Shakespeare's audiences would have found these references powerful, familiar, and sometimes unsettling.Listen now and explore the fascinating world of Elizabethan encounters with Islam in Shakespeare's plays.

The Enemy really fears this prophecy being released! Daniel 11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 11:2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. 11:5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. 11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: 11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. 11:9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. 11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress. 11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 11:12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it. 11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches. 11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 11:15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand. 11:16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. 11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him. 11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. 11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. 11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. 11:23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. 11:25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 11:26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 11:27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 11:28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 11:30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Podemos aprender mucho de la vida de Daniel, como a pesar de la situación siempre confío en Dios.Base Bíblica:Daniel 10:2-8  NVI'«En aquella ocasión yo, Daniel, pasé tres semanas como si estuviera de luto. En todo ese tiempo no comí nada especial, ni probé carne ni vino, ni usé ningún perfume. »El día veinticuatro del mes primero, mientras me encontraba yo a la orilla del gran río Tigris, levanté los ojos y vi ante mí a un hombre vestido de tela de lino con un cinturón de oro proveniente de Ufaz. Su cuerpo brillaba como el topacio y su rostro resplandecía como el relámpago. Sus ojos eran dos antorchas encendidas y sus brazos y piernas parecían de bronce bruñido; su voz resonaba como el eco de una multitud. »Yo, Daniel, fui el único que tuvo esta visión. Los que estaban conmigo, aunque no vieron nada, se asustaron y corrieron a esconderse. Nadie se quedó conmigo cuando tuve esta gran visión. Las fuerzas me abandonaron, palideció mi rostro y casi me desvanecí. 'https://www.bible.com/bible/128/DAN.10.2-8Daniel 10:9-11 NVI'Fue entonces cuando escuché a aquel hombre. Mientras me hablaba, quedé aturdido y con el rostro en tierra. »En ese momento una mano me tocó y me puso sobre mis manos y rodillas, que aún temblaban, y me dijo: “Levántate, Daniel, pues he sido enviado a verte. Tú eres muy apreciado, así que presta atención a lo que voy a decirte”. »En cuanto aquel hombre me habló, me puse de pie temblando. 'https://www.bible.com/bible/128/DAN.10.9-11Daniel 10:12-15 NVI'»Entonces me dijo: “No tengas miedo, Daniel. Tu petición fue escuchada desde el primer día en que te propusiste ganar entendimiento y humillarte ante tu Dios. En respuesta a ella estoy aquí. Pero durante veintiún días el príncipe del reino de Persia se me opuso, así que acudió en mi ayuda Miguel, uno de los principales príncipes. Y me quedé allí, con los reyes de Persia. Pero ahora he venido a explicarte lo que va a suceder a tu pueblo en el futuro, pues la visión se refiere a un tiempo aún por venir”. »Y cuando él me decía esto, yo me incliné de cara al suelo y guardé silencio.

Rik en Niels vertellen met hun grootste enthousiasme wat er zo speciaal is aan The Rogue Prince of Persia en waarom jij ‘m ook zou moeten spelen. The Rogue Prince […]

“I'm here, just taking a stroll, stretching my legs. These, uh, 300 men are my personal bodyguard.” We watched “300,” directed by Zack Snyder, and we need to hit the gym. A lot has been said of Snyder's hyperfixation on the male form, and we're here to add to that conversation. While this movie may be 117 minutes of fit men strutting around in leather briefs, it's also a pretty fun adaptation of the 1998 graphic novel by Frank Miller— author of Sin City.  Gerard Butler and Lena Headey play a fierce power couple, King and Queen of Sparta, Leonidas and Gorgo. Gerry is giving us manic Brian Blessed in “Flash Gordon” realness, and Lena is serving proto-Cersei Lannister, and she's really holding her own as one of the only female speaking roles in the male-dominated movie. We also get some body beautiful from David Wenham, Michael Fassbender, and Rodrigo Santoro as the diva herself— Xerxes, the mad god-king of Persia with permanent makeup and one too many body piercings. We had our reading glasses on the entire time on patrol for any slip-ups in those banana hammocks, but as far as we could tell, there were no wardrobe malfunctions to speak of. Oh well.  www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Encouraged by the United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, and Australia's official recognition of a Palestinian State on Sunday, September 21, 2025, the Palestinian Authority's ambassador to the United Nations declared, “Israel will kneel” to world pressure on Palestine. Is that true? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Pastor Rich Jones joins Dr. Matthew Dodd in studio to discuss this question along with other troubling developments concerning Turkey and the United States.

Nehemiah comes back to Jerusalem a short time after completing his term as Governor and returning to Persia, only to find the people slipping back into sin. The temple is neglected, the Sabbath is profaned, and intermarriage with pagan nations threatens the integrity of God's covenant people. Nehemiah confronts these issues head-on, cleansing the temple, enforcing Sabbath rest, and calling the people to repentance. Chapter 13 is both a sobering reminder of human frailty and just how much we need God's mercy, grace, and strength.   The Rev. Dr. Peter Elliot, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church, Seattle, WA, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Nehemiah 13.  From rubble to renewal, Nehemiah shows how the Lord rebuilds not just walls but hearts. Brick by brick and prayer by prayer, we follow God's people through repentance, courageous leadership, fierce opposition, covenant renewal, and joyful dedication. This verse-by-verse series keeps Law and Gospel front and center, tracing the story from burned gates to the greater Builder — Christ Jesus — who secures a city that cannot fall. Expect honest history, practical application, and the steady comfort of God's promises when the work is heavy and critics are loud. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

“Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one o the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia,””Daniel 10:13-14

Imagine if you will that you're a 15 yr old boy, you've never met your father, and your mom died soon enough after your birth you don't remember her. You're raised by an aunt and uncle until one day your dad Niccolo and your Uncle Maffeo roll back into town and he's like "Hey I'm your Dad. Let me tell you about a guy named Kublai and a place called China." Two years later at 17, your dad decides it's time to return to China and the court of the Great Khan and you're coming along. After a dicey first leg of the trip where you may or may not have killed your first man, then almost due of Tuberculosis, you find out your Dad and Uncle have an all access pass for pretty much anything once you're within the Khan's lands, ANYTHING. You meet the Great Khan and he takes a shine to you and for the next 17 years you work for the Khan traveling throughout his empire as a representative under his protection. Marco would travel all over China the return to regale the Khan with stories of his own land in only the way that Marco could. He had a level of access to Kublai's Mongol Empire thats almost impossible to wrap your head around, but we're gonna try. Join us this week as we get Historically High and kinda erotic on Marco Polo.Support the show

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabia una vez un viejo sabio que vivia en la antigua Persia. Este sabio tenía un hijo con el cual salia a pescar al menos una vez a la semana. El sabio no tenía más que una vieja barca que tenía muchos maderos podridos y astillados. Aquella mañana el sabio había salido muy temprano con su hijo y el agua de aquel lago estaba calma y quieta. El hijo un joven de solo 15 anos había crecido fuerte y vigoroso pero todavía su padre lo vería muy inmaduro e impulsivo por lo que el sabio aprovechaba las salidas a pescar para proyectar algunos consejos en el alma del joven. A media mañana el hijo lanzaba la red con entusiasmo mientras su padre contemplaba el horizonte con serenidad y agudeza. De pronto el muchacho pregunto. Padre será que hoy atraparemos algo más que silencio. El viejo sonrio y dijo. Hijo mio el silencio es el más escurridizo de los peces, si lo pescas podras alimentar el alma por semanas. Siempre trata de que tu vida te lleve al disfrute del silencio. Pero solo el creador de todo nos dira si podremos pescar un pez el día de hoy. Sigue adelante que esa es nuestra prioridad. Y que esperamos pescar hoy. Truchas, carpas o simplemente respuestas a nuestras preguntas. El viejo le contesto. Si el dios es bondadoso nos enviara las respuestas pero si pescamos alguna trucha o carpa me sentiré dichoso y podremos comer hoy tranquilamente. El joven lanzo de nuevo la red y de pronto el viento comenzó a cambiar. Primero fue un suspiro, luego un rugido y todo alrededor de la barca se comenzó a sacudir. El viento bamboleaba la barca y el joven comenzaba a temer por su vida y la de su padre. De pronto un torbellino se elevo en medio del lago y se dirigió hacia los dos pescadores El sabio sin perder la calma dijo. Dios salva nuestra barca y nuestra vida y te prometo que cuando estemos en tierra buscare un hombre necesitado y le regalare un camello del tamaño de una casa. El hijo miraba extrañado a su padre y le dijo. Padre donde vas a encontrar un camello tan grande. El viejo simplemente le respondió. Es un asunto de prioridades. Me preocupare de eso en tierra firme.  Empieza a remar con todas tus fuerzas y yo utilizare el velamen para tratar de alejarnos lo más posible. Anda hijo rema. El viento arrecio y cuando el torbellino estaba a solo algunos metros de la barca viró su rumbo y se alejo sin tocar la barca y sus navegantes y minutos más tarde el lago estaba en total calma y el silencio había regresado. El hijo todavía agitado y temblando simplemente le dijoPadre has prometido un camello del tamaño de una casa. Sabes que tienes una promesa pendiente. Que vas a hacer. El padre sabio le contesto. Cuando el lago amenaza con tragarte no es momento para medir el tamaño de la promesa que has hecho. La prioridad es sobrevivir. Las promesas que se hacen pueden ser exageradas pero son como las velas en la oscuridad. No alumbran mucho pero te sirven para no rendirte. Y gracias a eso pudimos pensar que Dios nos salvaría una vez comenzáramos a remar. La promesa es un acto que nos da el coraje para seguir confiando en que dios nos haya oído y nos libre, pero el remar es la acción que cuando se hace con claridad lleva a disminuir el riesgo. Recuerda esto hijo mio, reza y pídele a dios que te ayude pero siempre actúa ya que las decisiones sabias no se toman por lo que prometemos ino por lo que podemos hacer. Por ahora lleguemos a tierra remando  y después si dios lo permite encontraremos un camello del tamaño de una casa.  

In Daniel's final chapters, the prophet envisions centuries of conflict ending in hope for resurrection. Daniel 11 and 12 explore spiritual struggles, satanic schemes, and God's salvation, emphasizing that spiritual realities underlie earthly powers. Daniel sees Persia and Greece's kings, culminating in a final arrogant ruler who exalts himself and persecutes God's people. God assures Daniel that the faithful—those in His book—will be saved, not the powerful but the loyal. As Daniel's prophecy ends, he offers reassurance: suffering is not final for God's saints. Believers are called to live wisely, courageously, and clearly, enduring struggles, resisting schemes, and awaiting glory. The faithful may be battered but never forgotten, destined to shine like stars forever.

On Friday, September 12, 2025, United Nations General Assembly voted 142-10-12 in favor of a non-binding resolution to establish a Two-State Solution, meaning Israel would have a Palestinian state as its neighbor. More concerning, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Canada plan to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state in September 2025. During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss these troubling developments and if a Palestinian state will become a reality.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabia una vez en la antigua Persia un joven llamado Zahhak que era hijo de un regente  llamado Mardas. En aquellos tiempos Zahhak tenía un pasatiempo. Le gustaba salir a caminar por los bosques del castillo de su padre  a quien el respetaba profundamente.Una noche, mientras Zahhak caminaba por los jardines encantados del palacio, alcanzo a ver un hombre que caminaba hacia el lo cual era extraño porque el jardín era un sitio exclusivo para la familia real. El hombre tenía una  túnica negra y ojos como carbones encendidos. Cuando se acercó el hombre se presento diciendo que su nombre era Ahriman y que era un cocinero que venia de otras tierras  y que quería ofrecerle sus servicios. Zahhak emocionado acepto inmediatamente y lo llevo al palacio para que trabajara como su cocinero personal. En su mente estaba la esperanza de poder probar manjares exóticos. Pero lo que no sabía Zahhak era que Ahriman era en realidad el espíritu del caos, disfrazado de cocinero. Allí en el palacio el cocinero comenzo a ofrecerle comidas que no venían de sus dominios: frutas que brillaban como gemas, carnes que cantaban al fuego, vinos que mostraban visiones de otros mundos.  Pero con bocado se debilitaba la voluntad del príncipe. Una noche mientras el Zahhak se deleitaba con un faisan de sabor mágico, Ahriman le susurró: “Tu padre es un muro entre tú y el destino. Derríbalo.” Zahhak, embriagado por la ambición y los hechizos que provenían de aquellos manjares comenzo a pensar que su padre no lo dejaba progresar ya que todos lo veían solamente como el hijo. Así que impulsado por las ideas de su cocinero maligno tramo un plan y , asesinó a su padre  Mardas y tomó el trono. Cuando el príncipe ya convertido en regente se acercó al trono con la sangre aún en sus manos , Ahriman su cocinero besó sus hombros, y de allí brotaron dos serpientes negras, vivas, eternas, que se enroscaban como guardianas de su alma corrompida.  Las serpientes no eran simples criaturas: eran manifestaciones de la codicia y el miedo, alimentadas por el dolor humano. Estas serpientes daban vueltas sobre el trono y se acercaban a sus oídos exigiendo cada día el cerebro de dos jóvenes. Zahhak, incapaz de resistirse, ordenó sacrificios diarios para complacer a las demoniacas criaturas. Así, el reino se convirtió en un campo de lamentos, donde las madres lloraban la perdida de sus hijos y peor aún donde los sabios atemorizados simplemente callaban.Pero en secreto, dos cocineros que conocían las intensiones de el cocinero personal de Zahhak  comenzaron a engañar al rey: y Así cada noche cuando los jóvenes eran tradidos para ser degollados  mezclaban cerebros humanos con cerebros de oveja, y así pocian liberar  a uno de los jóvenes cada noche. Estos sobrevivientes se refugiaron en las montañas, donde aprendieron magia, resistencia y el arte de la espera.Entre los padres que perdieron hijos estaba Kaveh, un herrero que forjaba espadas con inscripciones ocultas y martillaba con furia ritual. Cuando su último hijo fue reclamado, Kaveh se negó. Alzó su delantal manchado de hierro y lo convirtió en un estandarte mágico, el Derafsh-e Kaviani, símbolo de rebelión y justicia entre los antiguos persasGuiado por sueños proféticos, Kaveh  subio a la montaña donde los jóvenes refugiados vivían y se entrenaban y encontró a Fereydun, un joven liberado por los sabios cocineros, que hablaba con los animales y tenía el don de la luz. Fereydun impulsado por los sueños profeticos de Kaveh montó un toro sagrado de fuego que recorria las montañas , y con una espada forjada en el corazón de una estrella caída, bajo al reino de Zahhak y lo  enfren

Proverbios 29:23.Amán era ministro del rey de Persia. Eran también un hombre orgulloso y malvado. Disfrutaba de tener una sensación de poder cuando las personas se arrodillaban ante él; hasta había un decreto real que mandaba que todos hicieron eso.Y todos en el palacio lo hacían... menos Mardoqueo. Él tenía fe en el Dios verdadero. Era judío y adoraba al Señor; por eso no hacía reverencias a Amán.El ministro se enfureció por esta actitud. Estaba tan enojado que ideó un plan no solo para destruir a Mardoqueo, ¡sino también a toda su familia y a su pueblo!El orgullo de Amán nos revela que debemos aprender con humildad, no con vanidad. ¿Y cómo termina esa historia? Pídele a alguien de tu familia que te cuenta esa historia. Se encuentra en la Biblia, en el libro de Ester.Mi oración: Padre que estás en el Cielo, ayúdame a ser un niño humilde.En familia, anota en tiras de papel recordatorios con versículos bíblicos que hablen sobre la humildad. Esparce esos consejos por toda la casa.

In recent days, many of us have heard stories of the senselessness of evil. Not just faraway in Charlotte and Colorado and Utah, but right here in our own Twin Cities.Our family spent much of our summer with four dear Annunciation families on our sons' baseball team. All of them had kids in the room where the gunman opened fire. One little girl, a friend of our daughters, was shot three times. And all our Annunciation friends know well the students who died and others who were injured. What's been so unsettling is the sheer senseless evil of shooting up a room of children. It is profoundly wicked, like the devil himself, to go after children.Sensible people understandably look for motives and rationale. But it's not always so easy. Someone read aloud to me some of the gunman's words, and I don't know what to say but senseless. Irrational. Sheer evil — that would open fire on children, and be so deeply deceived as to pretend in writing the day before to be a good person.We might wonder if such an evil person is possessed by the devil. The better answer, I think, is to say that such a person, like the devil himself, has become deeply enslaved to his own evil and indwelling sin. The deep anti-God and anti-Christ impulse in the devil himself is the same anti-God and anti-Christ impulse in all sinners, but for God's common and saving grace. It's called sin. Left unchecked, it will devolve into senseless anti-God evil and the ultimate slavery.Which relates to our passage this morning. As the back and forth escalates, let's go first to where the dialogue ends up in verses 44–47. Jesus says,You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.Last week Jonathan said, Wait till you hear what Jesus says next week. He was talking about verse 44: “You are of your father the devil.” And then the end of verse 47: “The reason why you do not hear [my words] is that you are not of God.”So, that's where this is going, but look where it begins. Verse 30: “As [Jesus] was saying these things (verses 12–29), many believed in him.”Verse 31: “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him . . .”Jesus is talking to believers — at least people who have believed thus far. They've started to believe, but the question before us this morning is whether they will keep on believing as Jesus keeps speaking. Many of them have fickle faith. We've seen Jesus confront groups like this already in 2:23–25 and chapter 6. Isn't Jesus's instinct with a crowd amazing? A crowd gathers, and Jesus doesn't think, Hmm, this is a thrill. I better not mess it up. How can I lower the bar so that every stays and even more come? Rather, Jesus's instinct seems to be, There's a crowd; they can't all be real. I need to raise the bar. Whittle down the crowd; narrow it down to genuine believers, to true disciples. Jesus doesn't cater to those with fickle faith; he challenges them. If they stay fickle, they'll spoil the movement, not help it. But if you challenge their faith, some will go, but some will stay — remain, hang on, hold fast, and be true disciples.So, let me pause at this point to ask: What would this be for you? For Jesus's audience, it's their Jewishness. They are sons of Abraham, which they retreat to twice in verses 33 and 39. Very few in this room are counting this cost: if I believe and keep believing in Jesus, then my life of faith and faith-community as I've known it will be upturned. Or is it?Social appeal is powerful; community pressure is real. That might be the challenge for you this morning. Your people are secular to the core. Or Muslim. Or Buddhist. Or just unbelieving American conservatives or progressives. Or professing Christians who are fickle in their faith. Whatever level of interest in or openness to Jesus you have this morning, what group tempts you to not believe and stay with Jesus? (So many today are slaves of their own conception of others' opinions, whether adopting it or reacting to it; either way you're a slave to your own sense of what's mainstream, what the majority thinks, where the trends or counter-trends seem to be going.)And the main point for us this morning in John 8 is that those who are “of God” stay with Jesus. They bear with his word, and no matter how uncomfortable, his words find place in them, and he bears fruit through them.The main claim in this passage is verses 31–32, then the rest fleshes this out or defends this leading claim. Look there:So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Jesus makes the claim, then they go back and forth about it. And in verse 47, we find that, at bottom, to stay with Jesus shows one is “of God” or not. So, that's how I'd like to frame it for us this morning, very personally. I take it that this room is filled with people who have believed in Jesus, but the emphasis this morning is on staying, remaining, abiding, holding fast. And for those who haven't yet believed, you get an inside look into what Christian belief is. It is not a past belief or a momentary belief that makes you a Christian, but an abiding belief, a belief that remains, a belief that holds fast to Jesus, a belief that persists and endures and perseveres the ups and downs of this life and keeps believing in him — stays with him.So, here's how we'll ask the question, to get at the three parts of the text: How do I know if I'm “of God” or not? Or how do I know if my belief is real and will endure?The realities of this text fall neatly into two columns: “of God” and “not of God.” That's the bottom-line reality, and this is what we'll spend the next few minutes filling out. So, here are three questions to confirm you are “of God.”1. Are you getting free from sin and enjoying it?Oh we love this word “freedom.”Verse 32,“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”But the question to ask is, Free from what, and free for what? We get a piece of it in verses 31–34:If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free'?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.”Jesus offers freedom, and they hear in that offer that he's implying they are presently enslaved. They take offense at this, and retreat to their ethnic status: “we're offspring of Abraham; we've never been enslaved.” Which, of course is ridiculous. Ever heard of Egypt? How about the Philistines? And Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome. There's hardly any power in the ancient world that Abraham's offspring weren't enslaved to at some point. But it's a senseless diversion. Irrational. And Jesus doesn't take the bait by arguing about it. He brings it back to the point: “everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.”Freedom from sin is the freedom from that Jesus is offering.But what about freedom for? Freedom from sin. But free for what? Now, verses 38–41:I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” 39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did.”Doing matters. Last week, Jonathan talked about not having a do-have-be mentality, but be-have-do. And he didn't say no doing. He said get the doing in the right place. And this first question is about the doing. The unbelieving show they do not have faith and they do not belong to God by what they do. And so too, those of God, who have faith in Jesus, get free from sin which is freedom to do good for others. This is the right place for good works. Your life matters. What you do matters. And freedom from sin doesn't mean you just sit around and watch clean videos, but that in freedom you love others and seek to do them good.But don't miss the greatness of Jesus in this. He is the one who sets free for real, free from sin, free to actually do good, to love others, to get past self and see others' needs and take initiative and expend effort and experience the joy and reward of doing someone else in need some genuine good, in the name of Jesus. And now we'll see in verse 36, that it is not only sons who are free but “the Son” who sets them free. Which leads to our second question.2. Does Jesus's word find place in you? Now, we come to the main focus on abiding or staying with Jesus. It's one thing to believe in a moment or believe in the past or believe initially in Jesus with fickle faith. But it's another thing to keep believing, to abide, to remain with him, stay with him when challenges come — for Jesus's words to “find place in you.” Jesus first mentions “abiding” or “remaining” in verse 31, but then he comes back to precisely this in verse 35, and it's easy to miss because the word changes in our English. Verse 31 has abide. Verse 35 has remain. But it's the same word in the original. Look at verses 35–37:The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.Jesus speaks to room full of people who “have believed” so far. And he says, if you don't remain with me, stay with me, you're a slave. Slaves come into a household for a time, but don't stay. They're not really part of the family. They're temporary members of the household. Eventually the slaves leave, but the sons stay. They abide. Sons remain.The word to us is this: if you stay with Jesus, if his word “finds place in you,” if you remain by faith in the house with him, you show yourself to be sons, true disciples. And those who seem to believe but do not stay reveal their ongoing slavery to sin.Over the years, we've sung together “He will hold me fast.” One of the most unnerving things in our life together as a church has been those who have sung with us and slowly walked away. And we ask, Did he not hold them fast? Will he hold me fast?Based on John 8, and the book of 1 John, and Hebrews, and elsewhere in the Bible, here's how I sing “He Will Hold Me Fast.” As I stay with Jesus, as I hold him fast, he holds me fast. And it's not that my holding fast causes him to hold me fast. It's the other way around. His holding me fast is manifest, in part, through my ongoing holding him fast. From my finite, limited, human perspective, I don't know for certain that I'll always hold him fast. If I give myself to sin and its slavery and do not hold fast to Jesus, it will be revealed that I wasn't “of him,” and he wasn't holding me fast. But right now, as I sing this song, I hold him fast, and as I sing, I resolve afresh and pledge anew to keep holding him fast — and as I hold him fast in faith I see and show that he is holding me fast.And there is something more we can say here about those who stay with Jesus and remain in him and have his word “find place” in them. This is one of the most shocking things Jesus says to these Jews. Not only does he call them to believe in him and abide in that belief, but he says in verse 42:“If God were your Father, you would love me.”Love me, he says! Perhaps the one question that would clarify that your faith is not fickle, but that you truly are his disciple, is this: Do you love him?Which leads to our third and final question.3. Can you bear to hear the words of Jesus? In these three questions, we've worked from the outside in, or from the top to the bottom: from doing good, to staying with him, and now back to where it all begins: believing in Jesus, hearing his words with faith. Believing his words that he came from God, and shares in the divine identity, even as he stands before us as fully human. And not just believing some of what he says about himself, as we find it convenient and socially acceptable. But believing all of what Jesus says about himself even and especially when it's at odds with whatever social group appeals to us most. Let's finish with verses 42–43:Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.When Jesus says that he “came not of my own accord” (literally, “not from myself I have come”), he speaks as man who is no mere man. Jesus is no mere human, putting himself forward, saying, Hear me, believe me, love me, stay with him, do others good in my name. No, this man “came not of his own accord” but is God the Son sent by God the Father. (For Jesus's various “not my own” claims in the Gospel of John, see also 5:30, 43; 6:38; 7:28; 8:50; 12:49; 14:10). To hear Jesus and believe Jesus is to hear the one sent by God to speak for God and who is God himself (as we saw in verses 24 and 28, and will see next week in verse 58).To hear the word of Jesus is to hear the word of God. To believe what Jesus says about himself, and everything else, is to believe what God says about Jesus and everything else.So, in this sermon, we've worked backwards, in a sense. We started with true freedom, then came back to staying with Jesus, then came to the bottom and center: how you hear Jesus's voice.Now we've worked through the chart, and I'll fill it in: And if you're really struggling with the question, Am I of God or not? I have good news for you: if you are genuinely asking and genuinely concerned, that's a first indicator you're of God. Those who are not of God don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. Thank God you're concerned, and lean into Jesus. At the end of the day, the question for you, and for everyone in this room is, What do you do with Jesus? What do you think of him? Do you believe him? Do you love him? Do you fully intend to stay with him? How you respond to Jesus is the test, is the indicator, of whether you're “of God” or “not of God.” There's no way around Jesus to figure out if you're of God or not apart from how you orient on Jesus.So, here's my prayer for you and for us as a church: that we (those “who have believed” till now) would keep hearing Jesus even (and especially!) when it's uncomfortable and we don't like it at first (because we think other people in our lives won't like it), and so love him and stay with him (through life's trials), and so enjoy freedom from sin to do others good.Table for the FreeThis is the Table of those set free, and being increasingly set free, by the Son, from sin and for enjoying him and for expressing that love for him in doing good for others. This is a Table of true freedom. It celebrates his victory over death, our liberation from sin by his offering of himself for us at the cross, and our tasting and seeing that he is good.True freedom is from sin and its misery. True freedom stays in Jesus's word and loves him, which overflows into the freedom to love and do good for others.

The aftermath of the Battle of Mantinea marks a critical turning point in the Peloponnesian War, as Sparta reasserts its dominance while Athens grapples with the moral contradictions of empire.With their decisive victory at Mantinea, the Spartans restore their reputation and secure their position as the preeminent land power in Greece. This revival allows them to reinstall oligarchic governments throughout the Peloponnese, temporarily bringing even democratic Argos under their influence. But when Sparta's attention shifts during a religious festival, Argos seizes the opportunity to overthrow its imposed oligarchy and restore democracy, demonstrating the fragility of forced political arrangements in the Greek world.Meanwhile, Athens finds itself paralyzed by competing political visions. Nicias advocates for moderation and recovery of territories in the north, while Alcibiades pushes for aggressive action against Sparta. This stalemate culminates in the final use of ostracism in Athenian history—a procedure that backfires spectacularly when both factions unite to exile the minor politician Hyperbolus instead of resolving their leadership struggle.The conquest of Melos in 416 BCE stands as perhaps the most morally complex episode of the war. When this small, neutral island refuses to submit to Athenian demands, negotiations produce what Thucydides immortalizes as the Melian Dialogue—a stark confrontation between power politics and ethical principles that continues to influence political thought today. "The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must" becomes Athens' uncompromising position as they reject appeals to justice, fairness, and divine intervention.The eventual fall of Melos and the brutal execution of its male citizens reveals the darker face of Athenian imperialism. What began as a defensive alliance against Persia has transformed into an empire maintained through fear rather than leadership. This episode of apparent success feeds a dangerous overconfidence in Athens that will soon lead them toward their greatest gamble and ultimate disaster—the Sicilian Expedition.Subscribe now to follow this epic journey through ancient Greek history and discover how the tensions between power, justice, and hubris continue to resonate in our world today.

Mummia, mumia, or originally mummy referred to several different preparations in the history of medicine, from "mineral pitch" to "powdered human mummies". It originated from Arabic mūmiyā "a type of resinous bitumen found in Western Asia and used curatively" in traditional Islamic medicine, which was translated as pissasphaltus (from "pitch" and "asphalt") in ancient Greek medicine. In medieval European medicine, mūmiyā "bitumen" was transliterated into Latin as mumia meaning both "a bituminous medicine from Persia" and "mummy". Merchants in apothecaries dispensed expensive mummia bitumen, which was thought to be an effective cure-all for many ailments. It was also used as an aphrodisiac.

Have you ever gotten news that knocked the wind out of you? Some news stops you in your tracks. A phone call in the night, a diagnosis, a letter from the IRS. Suddenly you're sitting down, head in your hands. That's Nehemiah in chapter one. He's a man with a powerful position, a good life in Persia, and yet when he hears about Jerusalem, he breaks down and prays. This prayer will set in motion a chain of events that changes history and points us to Christ, the One who truly rebuilds what sin has torn down.  The Rev. John Lukomski, co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Nehemiah 1. Find Wrestling with the Basics at kfuo.org/wrestlingwiththebasics.  From rubble to renewal, Nehemiah shows how the Lord rebuilds not just walls but hearts. Brick by brick and prayer by prayer, we follow God's people through repentance, courageous leadership, fierce opposition, covenant renewal, and joyful dedication. This verse-by-verse series keeps Law and Gospel front and center, tracing the story from burned gates to the greater Builder — Christ Jesus — who secures a city that cannot fall. Expect honest history, practical application, and the steady comfort of God's promises when the work is heavy and critics are loud. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

The account of Esther, the Jewish orphan who becomes the queen of Persia, is neither a Cinderella story, nor a how-to guide for righteousness. It does, however, give us a picture of the God who graciously uses broken people to achieve His glorious ends and fulfill His covenant promises. The names that the two Jewish characters operate under, Esther and Mordecai, are names that actually give honor to Persian gods. The book reflects how they operate under this saturation of Persian culture by mentioning the Persian king 190 times while God is never mentioned.

The temple is finished. The wall is finished. The people have rededicated themselves to the Lord's house, and on today's episode, the remnant of Israel rejoices. With the work completed, Nehemiah returns to Persia to serve under King Artaxerxes once again, just as he promised. All is right with the world, and God's people serve Him faithfully from then on, right? Wrong! In fact, not long after Nehemiah leaves, the work of the temple is all but abandoned and Eliashib, who is in charge of the temple storehouses, clears out a room for Tobiah the Ammonite official, who happens to be a relative. Nehemiah returns once more to set things straight.Nehemiah 11 - 1:12 . Nehemiah 12 - 6:19 . Nehemiah 13 - 14:09 . Isaiah 21 - 21:07 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
