Podcasts about Rom

John 11:33-35 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. “Weep with those who weep” (Rom. 12:15). We see a loving expression of empathy in Jesus. Although He knew Lazarus was only “sleeping” and that God was going to raise him for His glory, He still wept. John seems to imply that Jesus' tears were motivated by a movement of God deep within His spirit which was troubling. What do you think was troubling? Was it that he saw familiar faces—Jews who caused trouble the last time He was in Jerusalem? I wonder if He always felt that way when He saw death—it was always troubling to see the affects of sin on His creation, wasn't it? It's what He came to conquer. For whatever the reason, Jesus was ready to look death in the face in the power of the Holy Spirit with His Father. But still He wept. Filled with the hope of glory, Jesus wept. Isn't God's love amazing? Lord, I worship You.

"Men gartneren svarte: 'Herre, la det stå dette året også, så skal jeg grave omkring det og gjødsle det.'" (Luk 13:8 )Lignelsen er om fikentreet Israel som Jesus arbeidet med i tre år uten at de vendte om (v. 5-7). Han ba om ei ekstra nådetid. De fikk nesten 40 år, men vendte ikke om og ble derfor spredt. Verset har likevel oppmuntringer og lærdommer til oss i dag.Treet var ikke vilt, men plantet i en hage med tilsyn, derfor var det forventet at det bar frukt. Slik forventer Gud - med rette - at livet til oss som tror skal bære frukt. Vi er jo podet inn på livstreet Jesus, vi er blitt en del av en kristen familie, troen vår blir "utsatt" for pleie og stell, forteller Bibelen (Joh.15:1-4; Rom.11:17-24; Ef. 2:19; 1.Pet.1:6-7). Og om det ser dødt ut i livet vårt, er Jesus der med forbønn for den enkelte, om enda ei nådetid med mer oppmerksomhet og hjelp. Det er godt å vite!Den samme utholdenheten og omsorgen vil Han vi skal vise overfor hverandre og andre. Uansett hvor lite fruktbart det ser ut, så kan vi be om enda et år med mer pleie og mer nåde!Kanskje kjenner du på det i dag, at livet ditt står i stampe, eller at troslivet virker dødt? Da skal du vite at Jesus ønsker å stelle godt med det. Han ser at her er der ei rot med liv. Han vet at med omsorg og tålmodighet, så kan Han bære fram masse frukt, masse liv. Og det skal vi få hvile i. Han gjør det som må til!Skrevet og lest av Eli Fuglestad for Norea Håpets Kvinner.

Pentru prima ediție LEADERS din 2026, Cătălin Striblea îl are invitat pe George Leca – un om care învață continuu, provoacă sisteme și pune sub semnul întrebării convingeri rigide, acceptate fără a mai fi analizate, idei pe care oamenii sau organizațiile le consideră „adevăruri" doar pentru că așa s-a făcut mereu. Vorbim despre leadership ca proces de schimbare permanentă, despre manageri care trebuie să creeze tensiune ca să poată crea progres și despre emoțiile care apar inevitabil atunci când ceva se transformă. De la consultanță de business și decizii greu de implementat, la o tehnică de învățare bazată pe lucrul cu caii și o prietenie prin corespondență cu Regina Elisabeta a Marii Britanii. Discuția merge mai departe, spre România de azi: lipsa de resurse, migrația forței de muncă, educația care dă rezultate abia peste generații, dezinformarea și „vaccinul" împotriva știrilor false, dar și responsabilitatea administrației într-o țară în care autoritatea nu înseamnă întotdeauna putere. Este un episod despre decizie și implementare, despre neîncredere, pierdere și schimbare, dar și despre convingerea că în România poate fi mai bine – dacă avem curajul să recunoaștem greșelile și să întrerupem cercurile vicioase.

“For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. [Rom 1:20]”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

In this episode, HeHe is joined by Dr. O'Daniel to break down the real tools and procedures used in labor and delivery, the ones no one explains until they're suddenly happening to your body. Together, they unpack what tests like the ROM actually tell us about water breaking, when internal monitors like an IUPC are used, and what patients deserve to know before anything is placed inside their body. They also dive into operative vaginal deliveries, including vacuums and forceps, how clinical decision-making works in those moments, and why true informed consent matters so much when things move quickly. Dr. O'Daniel explains newer innovations like the Traxi for safer C-sections in larger bodies and the Life Bubble, a game-changing tool for supporting NICU babies. This conversation is evidence-based, honest, and incredibly empowering, especially if you want to walk into birth understanding the tools, not fearing them. Knowledge is advocacy, and this episode gives you plenty of both.   Guest Bio: Dr. Tori O'Daniel is a Board-Certified OB/GYN whom has been practicing for 14 years.

Our Election in Christ (1) (audio) David Eells 12/31/25 I'm going to talk to you today about our election in Christ. There is much false teaching and many misconceptions in Christianity about the doctrine of predestination, which includes calling and election, yet it's actually been a general power in my life to understand it. It's given me more faith in the Lord and more fear of the Lord. Much of the church, especially in America, rejects and even fights against it. Predestination is opposed by the Armenian doctrine or the “freewillers,” as they are called, but when you look around, you don't see the free will that people say that they have because everybody is serving something. Jesus said in (Mat.12:30) He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. So you are either serving Him or you are serving the devil. (Psa.51:5 KJV) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Someone who is bound in sin is not free to make a godly choice; the ability to do that comes from God Himself and it's a gift. (Joh.15:16) Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Although experientially it does seem to us that we chose Him, that just lets you know how easy it is for God to put His will in you. (Joh.15:19) If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. You see, not only did He choose us, but in effect, He didn't choose someone else. Out of the whole world, He chose us. Several years ago, I heard something that has really stayed with me. I was listening to a lady talking to her adopted son, and she was trying to explain this to him. She said, “Most moms and dads don't have much of a choice. They just have to settle for what they get. But we chose you; out of all that we knew, we chose you.” That's the way it is between God and us. He didn't just settle for what came along. God knows how this universe goes on the way it does, and He foreknows the end of it. He's the God (Rom.4:17) … who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. And He tells us, (Isa.46:9) … for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me; (10) declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. He chose us and He put His will in us. He chose us for what we will be; He chose us for what we will become by the grace of God. It was not the will of man that caused us to come to Jesus, it was the will of God. Paul writes (Php.2:13) … it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. And He's been doing that since before our Christian beginning. (Joh.1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he the right (The Greek word there is exousia and it means “authority.”) to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name. You need to have authority to become a child of God, and only God gives authority to everyone who believes on His name because faith is a gift of God. (Joh.1:13) Who were born, not of blood (Our new birth is not like the Israelites, who had to be born into a family who made them a part of the Covenant.), nor of the will of the flesh.... Now, nothing in our flesh causes us to come to God. (Rom.8:7) Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. Our flesh is the enemy of God, and you would never choose to come to God, especially when you were totally bound in sin. The only One who could set you free is Jesus. (Joh.8:36) If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Back to (Joh.1:13) Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. This choice to come to God was no part of man; it came from God. God put a holy choice in an unholy person. If we had gone on doing our own will, our will would have always led to sin and to never serving anyone else but ourselves. It was God who reached in from the outside and put a will in us to come to Him. Romans 9 is one of the most avoided chapters in the Bible because of all the false teaching coming from the pulpits. People read Romans 9 with their preconceived ideas from their religion, so they can't understand it. If you drop all that and just read what it says, you will be able to understand it. (Rom.9:6) But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel (The same thing can be said about the Church.): (7) neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. (8) That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. (Rom.9:9) For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. (10) And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac– (11) for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, (12) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. Before any of their works Jacob was chosen. The doctrine of Arminianism says that God foreknows the future, and He predestines according to what He foreknows is going to happen or what we will do in the future. This is ridiculous when you think about it. If it was foreknown to happen anyway, why would He have to predestine it? “Predestine” or “foreordain” are two translations of the same Greek word proorizo, which means “to decide the destiny before it comes; to ordain the destiny before it comes to pass.” It doesn't mean that God looked ahead and saw what was going to happen and who would do good. Salvation would have been by works. Truly, God already knows what's going to happen because He does not dwell in time. Jacob didn't always do good but God chose him for what He would make out of him. Remember, God speaks the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). (Rom.8:29) For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained (or “predestined”) [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. That means those whom He knew before the creation, He ordained at that point, so it's not because of their works. It's not based on whether they had done anything good or bad as we just saw. I did a diligent search when I first discovered this in the Scriptures. I decided I was going to be open-minded, and I was going to see what the Bible really had to say about the subject. I wanted to see why God chose me. So I searched and I searched for the reason why God chose me above someone else and I found out, (Eph.2:3) Among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. You see, there is no reason, physically speaking, why God would choose one person over another. I discovered that one “dirt” is just as good as the next “dirt.” It's not the dirt that counts; it's what you are sowing in it. God is interested in creating the spiritual man, which has nothing to do with your old life. The new life is born-again from above and that's the spiritual man. The spiritual man, who is created in the likeness of Christ, is born of the Word. He's born from above and has nothing to do with the old nature. I was looking for a reason why God would choose me above someone else and found there is no reason. (Rom.9:21) Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? God claims the right to make whatever vessel He wants out of this same lump of clay. That means there was no difference in our natural life that caused God to choose us above anybody else. (Rom.9:14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. (15) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. (16) So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. After we are born again, I think God spends a lot of time teaching us that it's not by our willpower. We try to save ourselves by our willpower and it doesn't work. We eventually learn that we are to walk by faith, or we won't receive what we're looking for. Some people think grace starts after you choose God, but it starts before you choose God. Otherwise, you wouldn't choose God. (Eph.2:8) For by grace (This is the Greek word charis and it means “unmerited [or unearned] favor.”) have ye been saved.... It's not that you are saved but that you have been saved. The ancient manuscripts and the Numeric text both say this, but the KJV says, “are saved.” No, you were saved, and it was by grace. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God. So, since we were saved by grace and it's a gift of God, that doesn't give us a reason to look down on anyone else, does it? And it doesn't give us a reason to condemn anyone in the world. It's strictly a gift from God and this gift is given to us (Eph.2:5) Even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.... When Christ was resurrected is when He “made us alive together with Christ.” (5) … (by grace have ye been saved), (6) and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places,] in Christ Jesus: (7) that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus (And now, we are the benefactors of this grace that was given in Christ 2,000 years ago. The people who were saved, were saved 2,000 years ago. People who are manifesting salvation now were saved then.): (8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory. Nobody will be able to brag about this salvation. We are depending upon God now as much as we were then. We have to cry out to God to give us grace to be obedient and to serve Him. He says in (Joh.15:4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. (5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. (10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them. God prepared the works of His Chosen. God wrote your name in the Book of Life from before the foundation of the world (Psalm 69:28; Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5; 13:8; 20:12). Manifestly, it's being written in the Book of Life when you come to God, but your name was written from before the foundation of the world, just as God “chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” (Eph.1:4) Even as he chose (This is the Greek verb eklego of the noun eklektos and it means “I pick out for myself, choose, elect, select.”) us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love. God chose us in Him and that means He didn't choose all. Some of you are probably asking, “But what about the ‘calling'?” I was told that God's call goes out to the whole earth to bring people to Christ. Well, that's just not true. I looked up every verse in the New Testament about “calling,” and that word is not used that way at all. (2Ti.1:9) Who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal. Notice it says here, “who saved us, and called us.” According to the doctrines of most religions, we are called and then saved; however, this invitation is to Christians only. The Greek word for “called” here is kaleo and it means “invitation.” We see in the parables of Jesus that only His people are kaleo, or “invited,” to partake of the Marriage Feast (Matthew 22:1-14; Revelation 19:9). Every place in the Bible where the word kaleo is used, everyone who was called came to Christ. They were already a Christian. When we go out and call (or invite) people through the Gospel to come to Christ, some accept and some don't, and we're finding out that those who accept are those who have His calling and the others do not. (Eph.1:18) Having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. So He saved us, then He called us and we're going to see that all the called are not necessarily going to be chosen, but all the elect will be chosen. (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen. The word “chosen” there is the same Greek word used above; it's the word eklektos, and it means “elect.” The difference between the called and the elect is that all of the elect are called, but not all of the called are the elect. Those who are saved have an invitation to partake of all of Jesus. As Christians, we are called to partake of His body and blood, which is His nature, His character and His power. The world cannot partake of that invitation; it's not even extended to them because this invitation is a Covenant offering. (Rom.10:20) And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me. That shows the power of God because we did not seek Him. That shows we were not seeking Him when we found Him. It was Jesus Who came for His lost sheep. (Luk.19:10) For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. We were the lost sheep. Think about the conversion of Apostle Paul on the Damascus road (Acts 9:1-30), You say, “God can save anybody!” God went to extremes in order to make Paul His child and His emissary to the world. Truly, God can save anybody He wants to, and He will. We didn't seek Him and the Gentiles didn't seek Him. (1Co.4:6) Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other. (7) For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? Why should we be puffed up about our salvation? What do we have that we didn't receive? Nothing. We think that we chose Christ. Some people look upon the lost and wonder why they cannot understand what's being said. They're thinking, “Why won't the lost be reasonable?” In a way, they're condemning the lost because they don't realize that only by the grace and mercy of God did they receive what they have. When you understand that you can't convert anybody by your works, you know to first go to God. By your works, you can fill up churches, but you can't convert anybody that way. Salvation is a gift from God. (Rom.11:35) Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? Everything comes from Him. There is nothing that God is ever going to owe anybody. (36) For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him [be] the glory for ever. Amen. Everything came from Him and everything is going back to Him. It didn't come from us and this takes away all room for pride. The first choice we made for God, the first desire we had for God, didn't come from us. It came from Him, and He can put that in anyone. This takes away all reason for pride because it's totally, 100% by God's grace. A good example is (Psa.65:4) Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee,] That he may dwell in thy courts.... The choice comes from God first. He causes us to approach unto Him and dwell in His courts. Salvation from the curse in every form has already been given to us by faith. We need to pray to God to give us the grace to be what we need to be. (Joh.10:16) And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring (Notice that Jesus is talking about doing this in the future. These sheep weren't saved yet because He said, “I must bring.”), and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd. In the days ahead, we are going to see that one flock and one shepherd, but when we study Ezekiel 34, we find that the Lord talks about how His flock was spoiled by shepherds who were doing their own will. (Eze.34:2) Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel (a type of the Church), prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord God: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? (3) Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. (4) The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them. The Lord says that He is going to take all those fruitless shepherds away, and He, Himself, has promised to personally be the Shepherd of His flock. (Eze.34:11) For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. (12) As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (13) And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. (14) I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. (15) I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. (16) I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. So, the Lord is going to have physical shepherds to do this. They will be men who are vessels through whom the Spirit of the Lord is going to flow, and they will not be doing their own will. In that way, God is going to have one flock and one shepherd. But the point I want you to see here is that when Jesus says, “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold,” these are people in the future who are going to come because they were given to Him back then; you belonged to Jesus back then. (2Ti.1:9) Who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal. Some people think, “Okay, I'm predestined and there's nothing I have to worry about. I can just sit back and take it easy.” They are justifying their doctrine of “once saved, always saved.” They don't understand that God has methods to predestine. He uses those methods to predestine, and if you ignore His methods, you will not be predestined. Calvin and Luther, the people who made predestination famous, were accused of believing “once saved, always saved,” but that's not what they believed. They taught God's methods of predestination and here's one of them: Jesus said, (Joh.10:26) But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. The people who didn't believe Jesus were not His sheep. (27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.... Jesus' sheep have ears to hear. They hear and they follow, and the rest do not. If you teach only what Jesus taught, you will be able to recognize those who are His sheep and those who are not. Those who do not hear are the self-willed. They're going to be like the son of perdition who sits in the temple of God. (2Th.2:3) Let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, (4) he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God. He is his own God for he does his own will. We've seen that here with the Unleavened Bread Bible Studies. Some people have their own ideas and as long as we adhered to the Scriptures, they just left, which needed to happen. If it wasn't that way, a little leaven would leaven the whole lump (1 Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:9). Jesus said, (Luk.12:51) Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. And the way He came to bring division was to use the Word like a sword. (Eph.6:17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And so He says, (Joh.10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (28) and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. You probably recognize that verse the “once saved, always saved” crowd uses to justify their doctrine, but Jesus is talking about His sheep. “No one shall snatch them out of my hand” and no one can snatch them out of His hand. These are the elect; they are the chosen of God. It's not possible for them to be snatched out His hand because they hear and they follow. (Jas.1:18) Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. By His will, not our will, He brought us forth by the Word of truth. His method is to give you the gift of ears to hear the Word of truth (Deuteronomy 29:4; Matthew 13:15; Romans 11:8; etc.) In the latter days of Israel, having ears to hear is what separated those Israelites who were going into the New Testament from those who would not. And in these latter days of the Gentile Church, having ears to hear is once again separating between those who are going to go on with God and those who do not belong to God. Those who are not part of the elect are going to be drawn aside. (Joh.8:31) Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him ... (43) Why do ye not understand my speech? It's amazing to me how sometimes people just can't understand you when you are saying something very simple, but if they have ears to hear, they understand, and if they don't have ears to hear, they can't understand. Now, sometimes, because of someone's age in the Lord, their understanding may not be very deep; however, anyone who knows God should be able to understand the basic principles. (Joh.8:43) Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word. They didn't have the gift of ears to hear. (44) Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do.... I've learned that most people have a blockage for why they don't hear. I know because it's happened to me when I was young and had a false doctrine. To the extent that someone clings to a pet doctrine, to that extent they won't hear and they won't believe anything that challenges their doctrine. Then also there can be a bigger blockage. (47) He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God. That's how God divides between the sheep. People who don't hear the Word of God, people who don't put the Word of God before their own thinking and their own religion, they are not of God. That's how Jesus discovered who was of God, and it's still the same today. Jesus says in (Joh.13:17) If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. (18) I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen (This is again the Greek eklego, which is the verb of the noun eklektos, and it means “I pick out for myself; choose, elect.”): but that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me. Jesus knew whom He had chosen, and He knew Judas was going to fall away. Judas was “called,” kaleo, but he was not “elect,” eklektos. (Joh.6:70) Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? (71) Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve. Jesus understood that Judas was a son of the devil, yet He chose him to walk among the 12. (Joh.13:18) I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen.... He went on to explain that He was not speaking of Judas, who never had ears to hear. (Joh.6:63) It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life. (64) But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him. (65) And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father. Let me point out to you that it's not who receives the call and starts out with you who is chosen; it's who is still with you at the end. (2Jn.7) For many deceivers are gone forth into the world.... John is talking about leaving Christianity. (1Jn.2:18) Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. (19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out,] that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us. “They” here is referring to antichrists. The Beast is antichrist in the world, but antichrist in the Church is this son of perdition. (2Jn.7) For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. (8) Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward. (9) Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. So it's not “he who began with you” who is chosen; it's “he that abideth in the teaching.” Some people say they love the Word and seem very eager to study the Word, but there comes a point where they decide not to go any deeper, usually because it comes against their flesh. You know, lost people like knowledge. They like knowing things that other people don't know because it gives them a reason to be puffed up. The son of perdition likes knowledge, but when it comes to knowledge that demands a change in their life, that's where those people start filtering out, as the Bible says: (1Jn.2:19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out,] that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us. (2Jn.9) Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. “He that abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God.” This is saying you have to be obedient to have the Father and the Son. Antichrist are those who go out from among you and are denying the Father and the Son because they are not obedient to the Word. Remember that Jesus said, (Joh.14:15) If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. That's not a promise to those who are disobedient or to those who start out and don't finish the course. That's a promise to those who endure until the end. (Mat.24:13) But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. (1Co.1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness; (24) but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. People who are called understand the wisdom of the Gospel, but to the rest, it's foolishness and a stumblingblock. You may preach the Gospel to somebody today, and they won't come, but they might come later on because the right foundation was finally laid and the right timing has finally come. Just because someone doesn't accept the Gospel today doesn't mean that they're forever lost but only the called are going to come. Only the called have salvation. A good example of that is, (26) For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called:].... It's not many who are called to begin with. The calling is not to all. The calling is internal; the calling is a gift from God to those who are saved. The Bible never says all are called. Everything in this world was created for the purpose of manifesting sons of God and everything that Paul did was toward that purpose. He said in (2Ti.2:10) Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. God called His Son out of Egypt (Hosea 11:1), but then He tried Him in the wilderness to find out who was going to go on to the Promised Land. Those who went on into the Promised Land were God's elect. His whole purpose was for the elect, not for those who fell away in the wilderness. You see, God's grace has been given to all those who are called, but it's the elect among the called who are going to take advantage of it and that's the difference. Paul dealt with many, but everything he did was for the few, the elect. God used Paul to fulfill His purpose. (Joh.6:37) All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. You will know those who the Father gave to Jesus because they shall come to Jesus. This is very interesting because the phrase “come to me” is used many places in Scripture. Jesus told the Jews in (Joh.5:39) Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; (40) and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. That was obvious about most of the Jews then, who totally rejected everything that Jesus said. And it's obvious about those people today who reject everything that Jesus said, but did you know that some of those people who walked with Jesus, even as disciples, wouldn't come to Him? (Joh.6:66) Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Notice: 666. Only Father can cause a person to come to Jesus: (Joh.6:39) And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. (40) For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. It's not possible for anyone to come unto Jesus, except the Father draws them. It is possible for them to come to church and to believe many doctrines. They can go to an altar and accept Jesus as their Savior, even though we don't see anything in the Scriptures about that. But people will not come unto Jesus unless they are drawn by God.

Măsura vizează concediile medicale care vor fi eliberate în perioada 1 februarie 2026 – 31 decembrie 2027. Decizia a fost luată ieri, printr-o Ordonanță de Urgență aprobată în ultima ședință de guvern din 2025. Contactat de HotNews, Ministrul Sănătății, Alexandru Rogobete, vorbește despre o măsură „tranzitorie, inițial gândită pentru 2 ani. Dar, dacă fenomenul concediilor medicale fictive scade semnificativ, ea se poate reduce și se poate anula oricând, nu este o măsură definitivă.” „Sigur că este menit să scadă numărul de concedii medicale, în special al celor scurte, de 2-3 zile, care, de obicei, au fost identificate atunci când se făceau punți sau, în urma controalelor, s-au identificat că sunt concedii fictive”, spune ministrul, în dialogul cu HotNews. G4Media prezintă lista zilelor libere din 2026: Fără „punte” pentru minivacanța de început de an / Câte sărbători legale sunt anul viitor și câte cad în timpul săptămânii. Pe parcursul anului vor fi 17 sărbători legale, dintre care 12 cad în timpul săptămânii. Unele dintre acestea s-ar putea transforma în minivacanțe prin așa-numitele „punți”, adică alte zile libere acordate special pentru a face legătura cu weekendurile, care, teoretic se recuperează cu altă ocazie. Însă Guvernul Bolojan a decis să întrerupă acest obicei. Chiar începutul anului 2026 vine cu o minivacanță de o săptămână, întreruptă de o zi lucrătoare. Primele două zile sunt libere, urmează weekendul, apoi o zi lucrătoare, urmată de alte două zile libere, în 6 și 7 ianuarie. Europa Libera scrie despre modificările fiscale de la 1 ianuarie 2026. Cele mai multe vizează firmele. Cresc taxele pe proprietăți și impozitele pe venituri. Din 2026 cresc taxele pentru persoane fizice: impozitul pe dividende și criptomonede urcă la 16%, iar câștigurile bursiere la 3%–6%. Impozitele pe mașini și locuințe cresc semnificativ. Apar taxe pentru proprietăți de peste 2,5 milioane de lei și un impozit anual pentru mașinile electrice. Persoanele Fizice Autorizate (PFA) și activitățile independente plătesc CASS la plafoane majorate. Firmele se confruntă cu cele mai multe schimbări de impozitare și noi măsuri stricte de disciplină fiscală. Miza anului 2026: Intrarea României în „Clubul Bogaților” scrie Deutsche Welle La aproape două decenii de când România și-a asigurat securitatea prin NATO și dezvoltarea prin UE, țara se pregătește pentru asaltul final asupra ultimei mari redute de politică externă: aderarea la OCDE. Organizația pentru Cooperare și Dezvoltare Economică (OCDE) nu este nici o bancă și nici nu dă legi. Este însă un for care reunește cele mai dezvoltate 38 de economii ale lumii precum SUA, Japonia, Australia și majoritatea statelor UE, mai puțin România, Bulgaria și Croația, care sunt în procesul de aderare. A face parte din OCDE înseamnă că statul tău funcționează după cele mai înalte standarde globale, fiind o garanție supremă pentru investitorii străini. Coordonatorul național pentru procesul de aderare, Luca Niculescu, subliniază: „NATO îți oferă securitate, Uniunea Europeană prosperitate. OCDE îți aduce mari beneficii reputaționale. O țară care este în OCDE atrage automat mai multe investiții și mai multe investiții de calitate “, explică oficialul. Totuși, în spatele optimismului afișat la Palatul Victoria, realitatea din dosarele de negociere arată că anul 2026 va fi un test dureros pentru clasa politică, obligată să renunțe la pârghii de control pe care le deține de trei decenii. În timp ce autostrada A7 se construieşte şi pacea se discută la Washington, iar România aşteaptă să pună umărul la reconstrucţia Ucrainei, ne cumpără investitori ucraineni pe noi. 10 exemple de tranzacţii şi investiţii făcute în România de antreprenori şi companii din Ucraina, citim în Ziarul Financiar. ZF a identificat zece exemple de investiţii de la zero şi tranzacţii relevante în ultimii ani. Acesta nu este un top şi nu este exhaustiv, fiind doar un exerciţiu jurnalistic menit să releve cum în timp ce investitorii români stau în expectativă pentru a pune umărul la reconstrucţia ţării aflate la nord de graniţă, cei din Ucraina deja pariază local. FMCG, retail, modă, hrană pentru animale de companie şi ambalaje sunt doar câteva dintre domeniile pe care aceşti antreprenori şi aceste companii au pariat.

Deputatul USR Emanuel Ungureanu declară într-un interviu la RFI că judecătorii care boicotează ședințele CCR privind pensiile magistraților ar trebui să răspundă penal. Parlamentarul vorbește de asemenea despre cea mai recentă măsură a Guvernului legată de concediile medicale: ”Este halucinant”. Emanuel Ungureanu, despre cei patru judecători propuși de PSD, care au boicotat ședințele CCR pe tema pensiilor pentru magistrați: ”Părerea mea este că cei patru judecători constituționali, acești oameni puși de PSD acolo ar trebui să răspundă penal, pentru că ceea ce comit ei cu sfidare este un abuz de putere cât se poate de clar”. Despre decizia Guvernului ca românii să nu mai aibă plătită prima zi a concediului medical: ”Mi se pare o măsură halucinantă (...). Chestiunea asta, să dai o lege, pentru că unii s-ar putea să fure, pentru că unii s-ar putea să mintă, păi, de ce avem atâtea instituții de control, care ar trebui să meargă și să verifice care concedii sunt fictive și care nu sunt?”. Despre mesajul premierului Ilie Bolojan după ultima ședință de Guvern din 2025: ”Românii au strâns cureaua, dar clientela de partid nu. Sunt cheltuieli ale statului care puteau fi reduse mult mai mult și nu s-a făcut acest lucru, întâi s-a luat de la populație și mai puțin de la privilegiați. Deci e loc de mult mai bine și era loc de mult mai bine să se ia de la clientela de partid”.

ChosenThough the Jews were God's chosen people, many rejected the Messiah. God demonstrated His sovereignty by executing His plan of salvation through their rejection, drawing to Himself all who would receive Him.

Are you truly worshiping Jesus… or just performing? In today's Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues the Christmas account and walks through Matthew 2:11–12 (KJV) to show what real worship looks like.The wise men didn't only come to see the King—they came to worship. Scripture says they fell down before the young child, and then they opened their treasures and presented gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This devotion reminds us: worship is deeper than singing, talking, or tradition. Worship begins with humbling ourselves, giving ourselves to the Lord, and then giving from what we have (Romans 12:1–2).Pastor Webster also warns about a quiet enemy: self. If we're not careful, self will get more time, more money, and more attention than God. But when a person truly gives themselves to Christ, nothing feels “too good” to offer Him.Finally, the wise men were warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod—and they went home another way. It's a powerful heart-check: Will I obey God rather than men? (Acts 5:29)If God is redirecting your steps, listen to His voice—He will not lead you wrong.✅ Like, comment, and share this devotion with a friend or family member.#WorshipJesus #Matthew2 #ChristmasDevotion #KJV #WordsFromTheWord0:00 The wise men worshiped0:49 Worship = falling down1:21 Jesus rejects false worship1:50 Worship & bow down (Ps 95)2:25 Don't worship men (Acts 10)3:06 Don't worship angels (Rev)4:10 Worship through giving4:45 Give yourself first (Rom 12)5:35 “Self” fights worship6:32 Gifts: gold, incense, myrrh7:33 Warned in a dream8:37 Obey God over men (Acts 4.5)9:26 How God guides & warns10:20 Will you obey God today?

Într-un context în care gimnastica din România e zguduită de scandaluri privind hărțuielile și  umilințele pe care unii sportivi la îndură chiar în sala de antrenament, există și exemple care ne arată că se poate face performanță fără abuzuri ci doar cu pasiune, respect și muncă. O mamă povestește cum se descurcă ambele sale fetițe înscrise la Clubul Sportiv Școlar numărul 2 din București la secția de gimnastică.

Cei patru judecători constituționali care au boicotat ședințele de duminică și de luni ale Curții referitoare la pensiile magistraților și-au argumentat decizia prin faptul că Guvernul ar fi trebuit să clarifice în mod public că noul act normativ „va abroga pensiile de serviciu ale magistraților”. Cum se traduce acest lucru? Surse din CCR au explicat pentru HotNews că, de fapt, nemulțumirea este legată de procentul de 70% din ultimul salariu net, cât ar urma să fie pensia unui magistrat după intrarea în vigoare a noii legi, față de 80% din ultimul salariu brut, cum este în prezent (acest lucru a dus la situația, nemaiîntâlnită în Europa, ca pensiile să fie mai mari decât salariile magistraților). Cel mai probabil, cei patru judecători constituționali care au lipsit de la ședința de luni, 29 decembrie, vor cere pe 16 ianuarie o nouă amânare pentru o dată ulterioară, 28 ianuarie, spun sursele. Motivul ar fi acela că judecătorii, care doresc respingerea legii inițiate de Guvernul Bolojan, nu mai dețin majoritatea în CCR. Legea prevede că dacă trei judecători solicită amânarea unei decizii aceasta se amână, dar nu specifică de câte ori se poate face acest lucru, au mai explicat sursele HotNews: „Se poate ajunge și la Paști, cu aceste amânări, cine știe ce se mai întâmplă până atunci”. Boicot sau grevă constituțională? (Europa Liberă)  Profesorul de drept constituțional Bogdan Dima spune că legea CCR prevede sancțiuni în cazul încălcării grave a atribuțiilor de către magistrații constituționaliști, dar e de părere că intenția de a nu asigura cvorumul pentru o ședință nu se poate încadra în categoria faptelor grave. Profesorul Cristian Pîrvulescu spune chiar că legea nu ar trebui schimbată pentru a nu mai permite astfel de situații, părere la care achiesează și Dima. Mecanismele de a da voce minorității, spun cei doi, fac parte din jocul democratic. Lipsa de cvorum, abținerea, amânările sunt forme de exprimare liberă și forme de negociere. Altfel, spun cei doi, s-ar ajunge la situația ca majoritatea să decidă arbitrar fără o dezbatere reală și eficientă. Cum va ieși însă România din acest blocaj rămâne de văzut. Deși menționat constant în ultimele două zile, PSD nu a formulat un punct de vedere. Nu a formulat încă un punct de vedere nici Palatul Cotroceni. Cum e afectată România de războiul dronelor. (Deutsche Welle)  România folosește avioanele militare pentru a se apăra de dronele rusești. Pe termen scurt nu are alte soluții, deși se vorbește despre niște planuri în acest context. O analiză de Sabina Fati: ”Dronele rusești au planat liniștite deasupra spațiului autohton de cel puțin 15 ori în ultimii doi ani: au verificat capacitatea de reacție și poate chiar voința de a răspunde intruziunii lor în spațiul național. Porturile ucrainene la Dunăre, Ismail și Reni, aflate la câțiva kilometri de granița cu România, sunt ținte permanente din 2023 încoace. În toată această perioadă, însă, apărarea țării nu a avansat prea mult și frontiera estică pare să rămână vulnerabilă. Nici Germania nu stă prea bine: acum două zile aeroportul din Hanovra a fost închis aproape 15 ore, după ce mai multe drone s-au apropiat periculos de aeroport. La începutul lunii decembrie, șeful Biroului poliției federale germane, Holger Münch, a declarat că peste 1.000 de zboruri de drone suspecte au fost consemnate în Germania în acest an, iar Rusia este principala suspectă. Incidentele au avut loc în proximitatea obiectivelor militare, în zone portuare și deasupra altor infrastructuri importante. În vreme ce Marea Neagră a devenit un teren de exersare a dronelor rusești și ucrainene, România nu se grăbește să găsească soluții defensive eficiente și uită un principiu de bază: costul apărării trebuie să fie mult mai mic decât cel al atacului”. România se confruntă cu un val de cazuri de gripă (Digi24) Dr Adrian Marinescu, managerul Institutului „Matei Balș” anunță că la Institutul din capitală, de exemplu, s-a dublat numărul bolnavilor care ajung la camera de gardă. Medicii se așteaptă ca în următoarele săptămâni și la începutul anului viitor situația să fie una complicată și fac apel la prevenție prin vaccinare și reguli de protecție.

Ministerul Finanțelor a publicat datele privind situația bugetului de stat pe primele 11 luni ale anului. Execuția bugetară era așteptată pentru a răspunde la două teme importante și anume: în ce măsură se văd rezultatele deciziilor luate de guvern în această vară și, implicit, dacă există progrese în ceea ce privește reducerea deficitului bugetar. Răspunsul este „da” la ambele întrebări. Să detaliem. Măsura care a făcut vâlvă a fost creșterea TVA, atât a cotei standard, cât și a cotelor reduse începând cu luna august a.c.. Astfel, în primele 11 luni ale anului veniturile încasate la buget din TVA au crescut cu 11% față de aceeași perioadă a anului trecut, în condițiile în care restituirile de TVA au crescut și ele cu 7%. Se poate face și o evoluție comparativă a încasărilor din TVA în lunile august-noiembrie a.c., față de aceeași perioadă a anului trecut, care ne arată că încasările din TVA au crescut la aproximativ 50 miliarde de lei, de la 42,4 miliarde lei în anul 2024. Cu alte cuvinte, cifrele ne arată că încasările din TVA au crescut, dar trebuie să fim bine înțeleși, acest lucru nu înseamnă, însă, că s-a redus și gap-ul de TVA sau în mod automat economia a performat în mod deosebit. O dinamică mai logică Mai sunt două tendințe care aduc argumentele unei îmbunătățiri a situației bugetare. În primul rând, veniturile totale au crescut cu 13%, iar cheltuielile cu aproximativ 10%. Este un raport de creștere normal pentru o economie care vrea să reducă deficitul și totodată este o dinamică mai logică, după ce ani la rând situația a fost invers, adică cheltuielile au crescut mai repede decât veniturile bugetare. În al doilea rând, există o reducere a deficitului bugetar. În comparație cu anul precedent, deficitul bugetar în primele 11 luni a ajuns la 6,4%, față de 7,15% din PIB. Vorbim și despre o scădere în termeni nominali, în sensul că deficitul s-a redus de la 125 la 121 miliarde de lei. Un semn de întrebare este dacă deficitul va atinge la sfârșitul anului nivelul așteptat de 8,4% din PIB. Pare destul de greu, chiar și pentru România marilor deficite, să reușească într-o singură lună, decembrie a.c., să facă un deficit de 2% din PIB. De exemplu, în noiembrie față de octombrie a.c., deficitul a crescut cu 0.68% din PIB, iar păstrarea aceluiași ritm și în decembrie a.c. ar fi o veste bună. Desigur, ar fi o situație de bun augur ca 2025 să se încheie cu un deficit mai mic decât cel așteptat, în special pentru bugetul de anul viitor Investițiile continuă să crească Mai sunt câteva capitole care oferă un indiciu față de evoluția situației bugetare. Este vorba despre cheltuielile de personal, cele cu dobânzile, cu investițiile și cheltuielile de asistență socială. Veniturile sub o formă sau alta au o dinamică pozitivă. Cheltuielile de personal trebuie analizate prin prisma înghețării salariilor bugetare și reducerii unor sporuri începând cu luna iulie a.c. Astfel, cheltuielile la acest capitol în perioada iulie-noiembrie a.c. față de anul precedent au scăzut cu 1,7 miliarde lei, de la 70,4 la 68,7 miliarde lei. Așadar, se văd primele rezultate. Cheltuielile cu dobânzile au explodat, plus 38%, dar creșterea nu este imputabilă actualului guvern, ci plățile se fac în contul unor împrumuturi mai vechi care au ajuns anul acesta la scadență. Cheltuielile cu investițiile continuă să crească, mai mult cu 16% față de anul precedent, dar, în continuare, sunt mai mulți bani alocați din bugetul național decât din fondurile europene. În orice caz, procentajul alocărilor pentru investiții este de aproximativ 5,7% din PIB, mai mult decât media europeană, iar o viitoare ordine de priorități va aduce eficiență și un impact mai mare asupra creșterii economice. În fine, cheltuielile cu asistența socială au crescut cu 11,7%, dar avansul vine de la recalcularea pensiilor de anul trecut și de la includerea în acest capitol a compensării facturilor la energie. Așadar, bugetul transmite semnale de ajustare, dar mai este mult până departe.

Confira algumas das reportagens do programa Saúde em Dia que foram ao ar em 2025. Taíssa Stivanin, da RFI em Paris Quais são os efeitos do uso indiscriminado das redes sociais em crianças e adolescentes. Diabolizar plataformas é a solução para protegê-los da violência online? Vários países, entre eles a França, vêm adotando medidas para controlar o acesso às redes e proteger crianças e adolescentes. A pedopsiquiatra francesa Catherine Jousselme, uma das maiores referências na área, é autora de diversos livros e estudos sobre a questão e dirigiu vários centros infantojuvenis no país ao longo de sua carreira. Para ela, não existe só uma solução, mas várias, que envolvem a escola, os pais, governos e os profissionais da saúde.“Essas ferramentas causam dependência. Sabemos que nosso cérebro tem um circuito de tratamento da imagem que é bem mais rápido do que o circuito que gerencia a linguagem e a reflexão”, avalia. O consumo ininterrupto do conteúdo gerado pelas redes torna os jovens presas mais fáceis. Esse risco cresce na adolescência, um período marcado por transformações e incertezas. Casos de câncer explodem no mundo No início do ano, dados apresentados pelo Instituto francês Gustave Roussy mostraram que os casos de câncer entre jovens de 20 a 40 anos vêm crescendo nos últimos 30 anos. O hospital, situado em Villejuif, nos arredores de Paris, é um dos maiores centros de combate ao câncer do mundo. Estudos revelam que, entre 1990 e 2019, houve um aumento de 79,1% de certos tipos de câncer em pessoas com menos de 50 anos, em todo o mundo. Os médicos preveem uma alta de 12% de novos diagnósticos e mortes causadas pela doença nessa faixa etária entre 2022 e 2050.Quais seriam os fatores de risco? Poluição, consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, sedentarismo? “Não entendemos exatamente o porquê desse aumento, mas há pistas. Alguns estudos mostram que pode haver uma relação entre o consumo de ultraprocessados e o câncer. Mas isso não significa que haja necessariamente uma causalidade, ou seja, uma relação de causa e efeito”, diz o oncologista Fabrice André, diretor de pesquisa do Instituto Gustave Roussy. Francês cria medicamento contra Mal de Parkinson O farmacêutico francês Guillaume Brachet descobriu que tinha o mal de Parkinson aos 30 anos. Ele criou um medicamento, já patenteado, que poderá frear a evolução da doença. O jovem cientista contou sua história ao programa e no livro Parkinson aos 30 anos, lançado em março na França. “Vamos ter que demonstrar o impacto significativo do tratamento nos parâmetros da doença e traduzi-lo em algo mensurável e padronizado, como um biomarcador, para provar o efeito dessa combinação”, explicou. Os testes com humanos estão previstos para 2026, e o tratamento poderá estar disponível em 2030. Remédios em formato de doce O farmacêutico francês Maxime Annereau trabalha no Instituto Gustave Roussy, de combate ao câncer. Ele adapta as doses, o sabor e a forma dos medicamentos usados por crianças e adolescentes com a doença e usa impressoras 3D para fabricar os remédios na farmácia do centro. Após vários testes, os pediatras do hospital pediram ao farmacêutico que melhorasse o sabor do Bactrim, um medicamento que associa dois antibióticos e é utilizado em larga escala pelas crianças que têm câncer e passam por quimioterapia. “Eles nos falaram que o resultado foi bom, mas poderia ser ainda melhor. O ‘melhor' demorou oito meses para ficar pronto. Como somos franceses, imaginamos um jeito para disfarçar o gosto do remédio e decidimos fazer um macaron”, explicou. O macaron é um doce com formato redondo, massa feita à base de amêndoas, açúcar e clara de ovos. Estudante francês de Medicina denuncia racismo Uma das entrevistas foi com o estudante francês de Medicina Miguel Shema, que está no 5º ano da Faculdade de Iasi, na Romênia. Durante seus estágios de observação, Miguel passou a questionar a maneira como os pacientes negros e de outras etnias são atendidos nos hospitais e contou sua experiência no livro La Santé est Politique (A Saúde é Política), para denunciar a discriminação de alguns profissionais da saúde. “É importante que as ciências sociais, a história e a sociologia estejam mais presentes nos cursos de medicina. Negro, em termos médicos, não quer dizer nada. Negro tem um significado sociológico. É importante, neste sentido, constatar como essas pessoas são tratadas e qual é a percepção que se tem delas. A discussão para por aí. Ser negro significa ser alvo da negrofobia. E pronto.” Riscos dos smart pods A pneumologista Fernanda Aguiar coordena o setor de Medicina Respiratória do Hospital Mater Dei, em Salvador. Ela falou sobre os riscos da utilização dos smart pods, ou smart vapes, um modelo mais tecnológico de cigarro eletrônico que toca música, manda mensagens ou propõe jogos. Em alguns casos, o dispositivo tem a forma de um animal de estimação virtual, no estilo tamagotchi, que morre se o usuário decide parar de fumar. “Que gênio do mal cria coisas assim para que as pessoas fiquem mais e mais dependentes. São estratégias do mal com um fim meramente comercial, às custas da dependência de uma droga: a nicotina.”

Julius Caesar zog nach Gallien und legte mit seinen Feldzügen den Grundstein für seinen späteren Aufstieg zur Macht in Rom. Doch Gallien war weit mehr als nur ein Kriegsschauplatz: Es war die Heimat zahlreicher keltischer Stämme mit eigener Kultur, Sitten und gesellschaftlicher Ordnung. Zwischen Druiden, Stammesfürsten und römischen Legionen prallten zwei Welten aufeinander. Wie lebten die Kelten wirklich? Warum begann Caesar den Gallischen Krieg – und wie veränderte er Gallien und Rom für immer?

Decía: "El tiempo se ha cumplido y ya está cerca el reino de Dios. Convertíos y creed en la buena noticia"» (Mar. 1: 14-15, LP).Según el Evangelio de Marcos, estas son las primeras palabras de la predicación pública de Jesús, contenedoras, sin duda, de la esencia de su mensaje. El término griego para decir «tiempo» en esta frase no es el clásico cronos, vocablo que describe el tiempo que se puede medir con nuestros instrumentos, como recuerda en español la palabra «cronómetro». El tiempo al que Jesús se refiere pertenece a otra categoría, para la que el evangelista, sin duda basado en la intención de la predicación original, ha escogido el término kairos, que significa un tiempo calificado como 'el momento propicio.De acuerdo con los designios de Dios, la venida de Jesús trae consigo a este mundo un nuevo tiempo, el del reino de Dios que se acerca, el de un evento transcendental que modifica el desarrollo de la historia, el tiempo de nuestros calendarios y el curso de nuestras vidas (Rom. 3: 26; 5: 6).Hablando de ese kairos, Dios había comprometido su palabra con una extraordinaria promesa: «Yo os visitaré [...]. Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz [...] para daros un porvenir y una esperanza. Entonces me invocaréis [...] y yo os escucharé. Me buscaréis y me hallaréis, porque me buscaréis de todo vuestro corazón» (Jer. 29: 10-13 RV1977).A partir de la venida de Jesús hay un «tiempo favorable» que es preciso aprovechar. La noción de kairos pone en el tiempo de nuestros relojes y de nuestras agendas una dimensión de urgencia: tenemos que tomar decisiones y actuar sin demora. El apóstol Pablo lo dirá con toda la claridad posible: «Ahora es el tiempo aceptable (kairos); ahora es el día de salvación» (2 Cor. 6: 2).¿Y si hoy fuera precisamente el kairos de nuestra vida? ¿Y si este fuera el momento adecuado, el tiempo propicio, y hasta urgente, para tomar una decisión importante, capaz de cambiar nuestra orientación vital, nuestro enfoque de trabajo, o algo esencial en nuestros proyectos? ¿Hay algún momento más favorable que hoy, al final de este año, para revisar nuestra relación con Dios y abrazar sus buenas noticias de salvación?El antiguo dicho rabínico formula la pregunta en estos términos: «Si tú no, ¿quién? Si ahora no, ¿cuándo?» (Pirke Avot 1: 14).

Un interviu pe care îl aștept de mult. Unul despre România frumoasă, despre curaj, muncă și visuri duse până la capăt.

Foarte mulți tineri sportivi din România doresc să plece din ţară pentru a avea condiții mai bune de pregătire și a câștiga mai mulți bani. Există însă și cazuri de sportivi români, născuți în strănătate, sau care au plecat la studii în afară, care fac drumul invers. Andrei Axintoi și Constantin Sterea au dat străinătatea pe România fiind siguri că la noi sunt condiții mai bune de a face performanță în canotaj.

Partidul stat are o problemă. În premieră, după trei decenii, social democrații au pierdut majoritatea în Curtea Constituțională, întreaga arhitectură a statului, fluxurile de exercitare a influenței și privilegiile elitei politice fiind în pericol din perspectiva regimului instituit după 1990, notează SpotMedia. Plecarea a patru judecători dintr-o ședință CCR pentru a amâna reforma pensiilor speciale ale magistraților indică o situație de criză pe culoarele întunecate ale puterii din România. Gestul celor de mai sus anunță două lucruri importante, potrivit sursei citate: - În acest moment există o majoritate anti-PSD în cadrul Curții Constituționale, prima de la debutul funcționării instituției, iunie 1992; - PSD exercită în continuare presiuni asupra judecătorilor nominalizați de partid, determinându-i să se opună oricărei reforme din sistemul de justiție.Cei patru judecători ai Curții Constituționale numiți de PSD care au boicotat ședința de azi dedicată reformei pensiilor speciale ale magistraților au cerut în cursul zilei de duminică un nou termen de ședință după 15 ianuarie, au declarat pentru G4Media surse politice. Cererea vine în contextul în care conducerea CCR a decis că următoarea ședință va fi luni, iar proiectul de lege al guvernului Bolojan privind reforma pensiilor speciale ale magistraților prevede intrarea în vigoare de la 1 ianuarie. Într-un dialog cu HotNews, Tudorel Toader, fost judecător CCR, spune că situația este una atipică, iar legea nu impune o limită și judecătorii pot amâna la nesfârșit decizia. Cu toate acestea, el a subliniat că episodul de ieri, când patru judecători au părăsit sala de ședințe și astfel au lăsat Curtea fără cvorum, ... este unul pe care nu l-a întâlnit niciodată. Legea spune că la ședință trebuie să participe minimum 6 judecători din nouă pentru ca să existe cvorum pentru un verdict. România riscă în continuare să piardă peste 200 de milioane de euro din PNRR. Noul proiect de modificare a pensiilor magistraților adoptat de Guvern prevede creșterea etapizată a vârstei de pensionare la 65 de ani. Cuantumul pensiei nu poate depăși 70% din indemnizația netă primită în ultima lună de activitate. Bătaie pe Hidroelectrica. O retehnologizare majoră și-a triplat costurile. Se bat pe ea firme din România, Croația, Israel și Azerbaidjan, cu subcontractori și din Ucraina scrie Profit.ro. Costurile estimate totale ale proiectului de retehnologizare a hidrocentralei Brădișor de pe Lotru, din portofoliul companiei de stat Hidroelectrica, cel mai mare producător de energie electrică din România, s-au triplat în perioada 2020-2024, de la 36,024 milioane euro plus TVA la 121,892 milioane euro plus TVA, în prezent fiind în derulare a treia licitație consecutivă de atribuire a contractului de execuție, după anularea primelor două, relevă date analizate de Profit.ro. Turiștii străini veniți în România în interes de afaceri au cheltuit, în trimestrul al treilea, peste un miliard de lei, arată datele Institutului Național de Statistică (INS), scrie aceeași publicație. Din totalul cheltuielilor în scop profesional și de afaceri, ponderea principală o reprezintă cheltuielile pentru cazare (50,3%), din cadrul acestui tip de cheltuieli fiind preferată în special cazarea cu mic dejun inclus (92,7% din totalul cheltuielilor pentru cazare). Cheltuielile pentru cumpărături au fost de 18,2%, iar cele pentru restaurante și baruri au reprezentat 17,9%, din totalul cheltuielilor în scop particular. Din totalul cheltuielilor pentru cumpărături, 36,2% au fost destinate atât pentru cumpărarea alimentelor și băuturilor, cât și pentru cumpărarea de îmbrăcăminte și încălțăminte, iar 27,6% pentru cumpărarea de cadouri și suveniruri.

Anul 2026 vine cu o serie de așteptări previzibile pentru economia românească. Prima dintre ele este că va continua consolidarea fiscală. Reducerea deficitului bugetar este departe de a fi aproape de final. Astfel, ținta deficitului bugetar în 2026 va fi între 6,2% și 6,5% din PIB. Experții sunt de acord că reducerea nu va fi simplu de făcut, pentru că scăderea deficitului cu 2% din PIB va fi o performanță dificil de realizat. Pentru acest lucru stau mărturie multe dintre încercările României, dar și ale altor state membre de reducere a deficitului bugetar. Pentru a atinge ținta de deficit asumată, guvernul are câteva mișcări pregătite încă de anul acesta. Cele mai importante sunt menținerea salariilor bugetare și a pensiilor la nivelul din 2025. Va fi al doilea an cu pensii și salarii din fonduri publice „înghețate”, o decizie care poate părea severă, dar care este doar necesară în contextul unei sensibilități ridicate a finanțelor publice românești. A doua măsură care ajută consolidarea fiscală este creșterea unor taxe sau impozite care va intra în vigoare din prima zi a anului viitor și la care se adaugă păstrarea cotelor de TVA crescute în vara acestui an. Avantajul bugetului este că TVA mai mare se va aplica pe parcursul întregului an 2026. Nemulțumirile pe tema „cine plătește factura consolidării fiscale?” rămân valabile și anul viitor, în sensul că mediul de afaceri va cere o restructurare mai adâncă a administrației, în vreme ce etatiștii vor continua să creadă că este nevoie de o impozitare mai pronunțată a capitalului. Punctele fixe pe care le vedem pentru anul 2026 sunt reducerea la 0,5% a impozitului minim pe cifra de afaceri, eliminarea taxei pe stâlp, păstrarea impozitului suplimentar pentru companiile din sectoarele de petrol și gaze și creșterea salariului minim la 4.325 lei începând cu iulie 2026. Reducerea cheltuielilor publice De asemenea, există o înțelegere politică referitoare la reducerea cheltuielilor publice cu partidele, cu parlamentarii și cu administrația locală și centrală. Cuantumul de reducere este modest, doar 10%, dar, totuși, este mai mult decât nimic. Anul viitor, vor fi câteva ținte importante, prima dintre ele fiind utilizarea banilor europeni alocați prin PNRR, program care se și încheie în 2026. În acest sens, politicienii s-au angajat că se vor finaliza toate investițiile începute cu fonduri PNRR pentru ca România să nu fie obligată să ramburseze Comisiei Europene unele sume neutilizate. Vom vedea dacă acest obiectiv se va realiza în proporție de sută la sută. În plus, România va continua eforturile de aderare la OCDE, capitol la care se află pe un drum bun. Inflația are în continuare destule incertitudini doar dacă privim la cifrele anticipate: 3,7% prognozează BNR și 6,7% sunt așteptările Fondului Monetar Internațional. Cu siguranță, marea necunoscută este liberalizarea pieței de gaze naturale și efectele ei asupra economiei. În general, însă, prețurile mari de anul acesta vor lucra în favoarea ratei inflației din 2026 prin așa-numitul efect de bază, adică datorită faptului că nu vor mai fi creșteri de prețuri sau tarife accentuate. Creșterea economică va încetini, toate rapoartele băncilor sau instituțiilor financiare internaționale anticipând cifre reduse de creștere care oscilează între 0,5% și 1,5%. În acest context, este clar că anul 2026 va consacra ceea ce se întâmplă la sfârșitul anului acesta și anume o reducere a creșterii ritmului consumului. Datoria publică va depăși în mod cert anul viitor nivelul de 60% din PIB și va continua să crească atât timp cât România va avea deficit bugetar. În concluzie, antreprenorii, șefii de companii, cetățenii trebuie să aibă așteptări realiste de la economia anului 2026. Speranțele nerealiste nu fac decât să aducă deziluzii.

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, December 28, 2025 My Joy is the Joy of You All 2Co 2:1-11 Reminders from Chapter 1: Paul = afflicted but saw gain God delivered them from death Promises are Yes + Amen in Christ It's not clear what trip Paul was talking about when he says he did not want to come to the people of Corinth in heaviness (2Co 2:1). What we do know is Paul did not want to make his readers sorrowful (2Co 2:1-3) because of their relationship with him. Leadership in ministry and in our service the body of Christ more generally necessitates empathy. Rom 12:10-18 Paul wrote out of much affliction and anguish of heart (2 Corinthians 2:4) but not to sadden his audience.

Made Like Us to Save Us and Sustain Us Hebrews 2:17-18 1) Christ's incarnation enabled Him to be a merciful and faithful high priest for His people to the glory of God. 2) As a merciful and faithful high priest, Christ provides… -Why was the incarnation essential to our salvation? -What did the high priest do under the Old Covenant? How did Jesus do this for His people in a far superior way? -How was Jesus faithful to His mission of redemption? What kinds of temptations to avoid the cross did He face? -How does the incarnation enable Christ to provide perfect and sympathetic help as we follow Him in this sin-cursed world? How do we particularly avail ourselves of this help? -How have you experienced Christ's faithful and sympathetic help? -How does Christ's faithfulness give you confidence that you will persevere?

2025 a fost anul în care digitalizarea României s-a mișcat, dar nu s-a și văzut.Avem peste 1 milion de Cărți Electronice de Identitate, o infrastructură de interoperabilitate care începe, în sfârșit, să se așeze și o mulțime de servicii publice care se digitalizează discret, pas cu pas.Și totuși, în percepția oamenilor, nu pare să se schimbe mare lucru. Poate lipsa de comunicare sau lipsa de coordonare sau poate lipsa de încredere să fie câteva explicații la îndemână.În această ediție vă propunem un review al anului 2025 în digitalizare dar și răspunsuri pe care Marian Hurducaș și Radu Puchiu încearcă să le găsescă împreună: ce ar trebui să se întâmple ca să avem încredere că se poate?

This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4). Scriptures (4–6): Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): We're not saved by works—we're saved for works Scripture defines. In Yeshua, by the Spirit, we walk in Torah-shaped love (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).#goodworks #CreatedForGoodWorks #119Ministries  #TestEverything #Bible

Prophetic Christmas Judgment? (audio) David Eells 12/24/25 Christmas 2025 Alison Pound - 12/21/25 (David's note in red) It's worth noting that I received the following word just 14 days out from Christmas Day. He previously said that we are right in the season for some specific events He has been warning about for some years now, to come to pass. This is the time of sorrows. Increasing magnitude and occurrence of earthquakes, of wars, deaths, mourning, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes……. As I was preparing to post this, the Lord said read Psalm 68 [1] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. [2] As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. The Psalm also says “LET THE RIGHTEOUS BE GLAD”. We are to PRAISE HIM, BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD GOD. ALL HIS JUDGMENTS ARE RIGHTEOUS! The whole chapter can be read below. This is what the Lord said to me on December 11. “That Christmas I told you about, where it would not be celebrated as in other years, this is the one. This year of 2025, Christmas will not be at all like other Christmases. All around the earth, every household will be affected by what I Am doing in the earth. Remember that My judgments are now in the earth and are upon its people. I Am dealing with believers. My people. Those who claim to know Me. I Am about to test all believers in the hardest test they have ever had to endure. Many will not make it. They will be taken away and the next time they awaken they will be standing in front of Me, being asked to account for themselves. This is a very serious time. All of heaven has paused. They take this time very seriously. Most of those on earth are completely unaware of what goes on in heaven, and what I Am about to do on the earth. But this Christmas, they will be right in the midst of My judgments. You know of what I speak. (He has warned of imminent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods in various places, and wars.) Many this year will have no home. Many homes, whole communities have (already) been destroyed by flooding. Lives have been lost. I speak of the fires also. (lives have been lost) And there will be more of both flood and fire.” Psa 68:1-35 For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him. (2) As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. (3) But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness. (4) Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him. (5) A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation. (6) God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land. (7) O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah. (8) The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel. (9) Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. (10) Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor. (11) The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host. (12) Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. (13) When ye lie among the sheepfolds, It is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. (14) When the Almighty scattered kings therein, It was as when it snoweth in Zalmon. (15) A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan. (16) Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it for ever. (17) The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary. (18) Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them. (19) Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. Selah. (20) God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death. (21) But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness. (22) The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring them again from the depths of the sea; (23) That thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies. (24) They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. (25) The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels. (26) Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel. (27) There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah and their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. (28) Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. (29) Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee. (30) Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war. (31) Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God. (32) Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; Selah. (33) To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice. (34) Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies. (35) O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.   Tragedy is Coming Just Praise Him – Glynda Lomax October 25, 2016 (David's note in red) A tragedy is coming that is so immense, so widespread in its effect that all the world will mourn with America. This tragedy will bring about a financial crisis like nothing before it. The shock will cause all to take an inventory of their lives. Many lost will run to Me then, to know more of Me, and you must be ready for this time. You must be ready to answer their inquiries about Me. You must be walking in My ways to model Me before them. I will begin soon to call more of my aging saints home to Me. I do not desire they to see this tragedy. These are the ones who have served Me long and well, and their rewards are great in heaven. The scope of this tragedy will be shocking. Many souls will be lost in what is going to happen. This is My last judgment call to the world to turn away from their sins, to turn to Me, to give Me their hearts. At the same time, many who know Me shall turn away, blaming Me for this tragedy, and laying down their faith. Satan will enter their hearts then and their end shall be far worse than their beginning. Hold tight to your faith, My precious children, do not let the enemy have your souls. Remain steadfast, for I have not forsaken you, and the end of all things is near. NOTE: I had been praying for days about why I keep feeling there will be no Christmas celebrations this year when I got this word. (It seems she had some reluctance. However many prophetic utterances don't come to pass the year they are spoken, but later so many can take warning. Many are just hearing this warning now when others are getting the same warning. Joseph taught that when a revelation is doubled it will come to pass.) I know it would take something huge to stop Christmas in America. Suddenly, I heard rumbling, and what came to my mind was an earthquake. I cannot say it is one, because He did not say that. I cannot say for sure that this (earthquake) will happen before Christmas, because the Lord did not say that. I was concerned about the term “judgment call” as it generally means a summary judgment based on known facts, but then I realized “call” could mean “calling” the lost to Himself. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 2 Peter 2:20-21 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (We have certainly seen this sign.) Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. What we see in these revelations below is the faction in Church and state are trying to take down the righteous, but God is directing their wrath to take them down instead, just as Pharaoh at the Red Sea, or Sennacherib at Jerusalem, or the 3 armies against Jehoshaphat at Jerusalem, etc. The glory of the Lord is going to be seen by the whole world at our Red Sea. The fear and respect of the Lord will be on many from among the nations. A common timing theme in these dreams is Christmas time, which symbolizes the time of the Man-child's birth. The day cannot be ruled out either. Individuals in these dreams represent corporate bodies of people around the world.   Coming Attack and Man-child Provision  Eve Brast - 11/27/18 (David's notes in Red) I had a dream where I was in my paternal grandparents' house in Highland Park in Dallas, Texas. I was in the living room and decided to go down to the basement (in real life there was no basement) to check on my three sons. As I went down the basement stairs, I saw my husband moving large containers of some sort from outside the house through the left brick wall of the basement, as if the wall was an illusion of some kind. (The breaching of a wall on the left symbolizes breaking with our sanctification, or separation from the world.) My sons were all younger in the dream: Noah was 9, Elijah was 6, and Josiah was 4. I called out to my husband over the commotion and asked if I could spend some time with the boys. He never stopped what he was so busily doing, only replied, “They are busy helping me. We don't have time for that.” (The left has always hindered the fellowship of the Bride with the children and this actually came to pass.) Then I heard and felt a shaking sound (I wrote this interpretation in 2018 before the recent revelations: This could represent the shaking coming at Christmas time, OR the time of the Man-child Body's birth, or both? - Even though the timing of Christmas and its traditions are false, it can represent the time of the Man-child's birth, whenever that comes. Why Christmas? We will see.) coming from behind me and I could see a large red CGI dragon in the spirit coming for me. (A realistic 3D animated dragon. The dragon in Revelation 12 is the beast of the first 3 1/2 years, who fails to devour the Man-child and then seeks to devour the Woman Church. From other dreams, we know that we are NOW in the time of the immature dragon, hence a cartoon dragon. I had a dream where this exact dragon was sneaking in a back window of our assembly to devour us. It came and failed.) I then hurried down the stairs and went around the stack of containers that he had brought into the basement, and turned around to see the dragon coming down the stairs. It had yellow eyes. (It looked just like the dragon Smaug from The Lord of the Rings movies.) It said, “I'm coming for you.” I hid behind the containers as it stomped past. Once it was past where I was, I noticed a Christmas tree over to the side of the basement. (Another Christmas time/Man-child birth revelation) So I hurried over and knelt down behind the tree and was praying and telling myself, “If I'm very still, he won't be able to see me.” Noah came over and began to ask me, “What are you doing, Mom?” I told him, “If I'm very still, he won't see me.” Noah laughed and said, “You mean him?”, pointing to the dragon. I said, “Yes.” He then started pushing on me and making me move. The dragon saw me and narrowed his eyes and said, “I see you!” He began to lumber over towards me as I woke up. (Children who are temporarily in the camp of the Left do not understand the true nature of the Dragon. The Woman escaped the Dragon in the dream here by waking up.) I asked Father for a couple of words by faith at random concerning this dream, and my finger was on “I have broken Moab” in Jeremiah 48:38 (Moab was the Children of Lot who factioned away as leftists from their brethren of Israel as a type of the Church) Jer 48:35-46 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 36 Therefore my heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and my heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished. 37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein none delighteth, saith Jehovah. 39 How is it broken down! how do they wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all that are round about him. 40 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle and shall spread out his wings against Moab (the factious in Church and state). 41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah. 43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah. 44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah. 45 They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 46 Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity. (Both of these texts involve a visitation of the Lord to punish the wicked and reward the righteous. The Lord is coming, manifested in the Man-child body ministry by Word and Spirit. Jesus was first born as a baby and later was anointed to Minister. These two stages happen to the Man-child body of our day also.) The second one I received by faith at random, my finger was on “he will carry them in his bosom” in Isa.40:11 (The right and righteous will escape)  In context Isa 40:1-11 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem (the Bride); and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins. 3 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low (The humble will be exalted and the proud humbled); and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain: 5 and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it. 6 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. 7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass. 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. 9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion (the Bride), get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! 10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm (Jesus in the Man-child) will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. (Judgment on the Factious Edomites just before He rewards the Righteous) 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young. Notice the same words “his reward is with him, and his recompense before him” when God saved the Bride from the factious Edomites. And here it is in Isa 62:11-63:3 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 12 And they shall call them the holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken. 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. When the Lord separates the factious spirits from some of the factious people, they will return to righteousness, although they will have missed the Bride. Others will die in their sins.   A Remnant of the Faction Begins to Return Around the Birth of the Soloman Man-child Body Eve Brast - 08/08/18 (David's notes in Red) I dreamed this morning that our local UBM assembly was meeting on an upper floor of an apartment building (An apartment represents a body of houses built together into a holy temple in the Lord, as Ephesians says.). The living room was smaller than the Shaw's and there was a small room to the right of the long entry way that was a kitchenette (Where the spiritual food is prepared). We were all sitting in a large circle singing acapella praises to the Lord. David was sitting along the wall where the entryway led into the living room. Michael was on his left, and I was on his right. I (As a type of the last Adam's Bride, Eve) was wearing a beautiful dress with a floral pattern on it. (A symbol of Fruit and beauty being born as in Springtime, by the corporate Bride body.). But I was very weak and thin from fighting a long illness. (Representing the corporate Bride fighting off the faction infection. Faction is division through unforgiveness, criticism, slander, etc. We fought it off in the Church and we saw the same spirits in the government. At this time, Eve actually was fighting off this infirmity, which the medical Journal says comes from an abusive relationship that she has been through. When she had this dream, she wasn't suffering from this, and we wondered what this dream spoke of. This shows us the timing is near for these things. (I believe I represent a corporate body sick of faction. But once the factious leader below was born again and he and others came back into an inferior fold, I was recovering as a body of people. Part of the text was good concerning those Father knows and will bring them back to Him, and the other part is concerning those in the dream who were too fearful to enter the door again.) I couldn't stand or move around for long before I had to sit down and rest. David and Michael had to help me by each holding my arms for support when I needed to stand or walk. But I was slowly regaining my strength day by day. (At that time, there were factious people returning.) Suddenly, the factious leader came through the front door and was encouraging others who had factioned away to enter also. The others had followed him to the door but wouldn't enter. (This represents the outer court of God's house) A couple of men came right inside the door, but were fearful to come any further. (Content to be in the holy place but not the Holy of Holies.) The factious leader himself came all the way up to the threshold of the entryway where the living room began, but wasn't interested in joining our praise and worship. (Not going to return to the Bride in the Holy of Holies, but to a lesser degree, the holy place) He was concerned more about undoing some of the damage he'd caused by factioning some away from the truth. He was trying to get them to come through the door. (The door being Jesus). He kept gesturing to the two men with an inviting motion to come into the entryway further. But they only stood right inside the door. The factious leader was wearing a white Polo shirt and tan shorts. He had an old baby blanket (Infected by memories from childhood), the size of a large shawl, draped around his shoulders. It had a silk edge sewn all the way around it and pink and baby blue stripes. Since it was from the 1970s it was not as white as it used to be and it was faded because of many washings. (He had fallen away from his new birth many times and had many washings so it has faded.) His right hand clutched it at his neck, like he didn't want it to fall off of him. (He didn't want to forget and lose his salvation again) I was shocked to see him with that blanket around his shoulders. I said, “Hey, everyone, the factious leader is here!” And I wanted to go over to give him a hug. So David and Michael helped me over to him. But Brandy was angry and alarmed and said, “He's not for real. He's just here to spy on us all and cause us more damage! Don't touch him!” (We have had dreams and attempts of faction acting as though they are cured to sneak into the body and cause damage. So suspicion is natural.) David and Michael said, “We asked the Lord if it was okay for him to come and got two heads for ‘yes'. But Brandy became incredulous and offended about it. I didn't know what to believe, so I didn't hug him. I decided to go to the kitchenette and wash the dishes. So David and Michael helped me to the counter, and I was able to lean against it for support so I could wash them. After our plates were clean, (Symbolizing the end of faction) I came back out and sat down, R. S., who was sitting at the 12:00 position, was directing the acapella singing and said, “Let's all sing Silver Bells! We'll sing it 6 times.” David was at the 6:00 position. So David and Michael helped me back up and we all held hands and walked in a circular, clockwise direction. (Time going forward) We sang, “Silver bells, Silver Bells, it's Christmas time in the city...” (Symbolizing the time of the Man-child's birth) I became tired and had to go sit down, and I thought, “Christmas time??” Then there was a couch behind the kitchenette in a little room and David was sitting wearing a blue shirt (representing heavenly) and blue socks and he had a baby diaper on. (The birthing of the David Man-child. The anointing could come shortly after, since the Man-child grows up very quickly). Then I woke up. I asked for a general text that covers this dream, and my finger was on Psalm 50:11, “I know all the birds of the mountains” (1-23) 1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth. 3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence (The visitation of the Lord in the Man-child): A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him. 4 He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people: 5 Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah] 7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me. 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High; 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth, (We have received this text for the faction) 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee? 18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver: 23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of God.   Remnant of Faction Returns  Anna Stewart - 12/07/18 (David's notes in Red) I dreamed we arrived at the Shaw's for a Wednesday Bible study and a factious leader had returned and was sitting in his old place against the front wall. Brandy was sitting next to him because Michael had left Brandy to share in the bible study because neither he nor David could make it yet. I had the sense that David knew the factious leader had returned, but I felt very uncomfortable that David and Michael were not there. He was thinner in the dream (less flesh) and wearing dark blue (heavenly, yet still in darkness?) and at one point showed his new guitar to someone. More and more people from our local body kept coming in, even those who normally cannot be there, until every person was there. The house changed at some point with two very large rooms to the back added on (Incoming brethren joining us from other places) and the main room where we were become an upper story (Symbolizing the people from the Upper room receiving the outpouring? Original foundation of people on higher level of leadership) with a sliding glass door opening onto a deck on each side of the house. David and Michael finally showed up and David had told the factious leader he couldn't be in there with us. (In Eve's dream, he also did not come into the assembly but was in an outer room. We believed this was a sign that he would come back, but not be in the Bride or be trusted yet because of falling away into faction.) The factious leader was outside on the deck, sometimes on his knees and forearms, sometimes sitting cross-legged. Everyone inside ignored his presence. Every once in a while, he would tap on the glass as if asking for some compassion from someone to let him in. Several times I saw him sitting out there with a pile of quarters on his knee and each time they were either all heads or all tails. I was wondering if he was asking the Lord questions. Things inside went on as normal, some people had brought food, others were eating a little bit and fellowshipping. David was in the back room working hard and I knew he was very busy and tired. At some point I felt led to look up my niece's name, Natasha, who has come to live here, and found in this dream that it meant something along the line of “to take authority and cast out spirits”. (This may be a sign of timing to begin to cast out the factious demons) In real life Natasha means born on Christmas day; resurrection. [In Eve's dream, this man came back with others when we were singing “Silver Bells, It's Christmas time in the city”. The Man-child is coming to the Bride, Jerusalem.] I felt it was from the Lord concerning this man [and likely a body of people he represents] and that I needed to tell David but I was afraid of getting out of place and doing something I shouldn't. I decided to find David and asked if he had a minute. He looked tired and said, “Not really. I have two seconds.” As quickly as I could, I told him what I felt the Lord told me, “to take authority and cast out spirits”. The scene changed and it was getting late and people began leaving for home until there were just a few of us left. Mostly the morning prayer meeting people remained: Eve, Matthew and me, and a few others. Everyone was sitting down, and things were pretty quiet. I realized that I wasn't doing what I should've been doing all along, and got down on my knees and began to intercede for the factious leader who was still outside. (Amen, it is a good time to pray restoration to a remnant of the faction) Then the dream ended.   The Last Holiday, Christmas  Sandy Shaw - 12/03/18 (David's notes in Red)  In this dream was like a scene from the movie, The Last Holiday (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Holiday_(2006_film). A man was sitting on the very edge of a building's top with a bottle of alcohol, contemplating whether he should jump. The building was old and tall, and like the architecture of the Swiss Alps. It was castle-like. Queen La Tifah walks out and says, “What are you doing here?” He says, “I think I'm going to jump!” She says, “It ain't worth it.” Then she sits down next to him. (The last Holiday is Christmas, symbolizing the time of the Man-child's birth. The Queen here represents the Bride and has a false sentence of death on her, which she later finds out is false. The drunk man committing suicide represents the left-wing, delusional, factious people who are committing spiritual suicide through spiritual drunkenness.)  LL Cool J (Jesus) says, “What are you doing?” She (The Bride) says, “I'm trying to get this guy to back into the hotel.” The guy on the ledge says, “I'm not going!” (Factioned away from the body of Christ built together into a Holy Temple as Ephesians says) LL Cool J says, “Well, you let that fool fall then. And you get back in there!” (I.E., separate yourself from them until they repent. Tit.3:10 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.) LL is reaching for Queen La Tifah. But she is a few inches short and he can't reach her, and I'm standing behind him. I say, “Just grab her.” (I.E., Man-child rescues the Bride from the spiritually drunken faction.)  Then, when I saw that he grabbed her, I got his legs and we fell through the window into the building. (The Bride is rescued from the suicidal faction by Jesus in the Man-child)  As I'm trying to get up, I'm no longer there...I'm in a car, in the back seat. The doors are locked, I can't get out, and I'm in a seatbelt that won't unsnap. A big spider was coming toward me and was going to bite me on the leg. But back in reality, I got shook up because I'm on dialysis. And the nurses are shaking me, one was shaking my leg in the area where the spider was going to bite me. (A warning the Pharmakeia is poison and deadly. Many now know this.) The spider was the size of a golf ball, though oblong, the size of one I saw in our garage. (The Bride is rescued in parallel to the first scene)  I received by faith at random (About the factious in Church and government.) Eze.11:7. (In context, 7-12) 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it. 8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah. 9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel; 12 and ye shall know that I am Jehovah: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you. (Judgment on the faction)    Christmas Eve - What is Coming   Winnie Osegueda - 6/8/22 (David's notes in red)  ... I prayed and asked the Lord to show me what was coming and when I fell asleep He gave me the following dream: I dreamt that I was in a very nice suburban area and it was the evening time of Christmas Eve. (Wow Christmas again!  Another confirmation that the baby boy Man-child is coming.) I could see all the houses decorated with colorful Christmas lights throughout this neighborhood on my left. My mother's house was also located on the left side of this suburban neighborhood. (Winnie's mom is being used to represent the apostate church on the left  that all of God's elect are born out of. Many apostates are in idolatry with the world and its traditions of men represented by the celebration of Christmas which is a pagan holiday. There is a connection between the modern day Christmas tree and the ancient symbol for the fertility goddess named Asherah  Jer. 10:1-5 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.) There was a remake of an older movie being made except it wasn't actually a movie; it was really happening. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.   I recognized and remembered this old movie that they were remaking and it was starring Kiefer Sutherland who is an actor who played a great villain in movies in the 80s and 90s, and he was a villain in the movie in this dream as well). (The meaning of the name “Keifer” is a German nick name for someone who was quarrelsome, from an agent of Middle High German kiben, kiven 'to quarrel'. All of the factious are quarrelsome.) They brought in a new "actor" for the remake of this movie who looked just like a younger, rounder-faced version of Kiefer Sutherland. His haircut was like the one Kiefer Sutherland had in the movie "The Lost Boys," a film in which he played a vampire. ("The life of the flesh is in the blood." The spiritual vampires of the apostate churches who are “lost” children who “bite and devour” and suck the life out of people with their contentious and slanderous ways.) Because I had already seen and knew this movie very well, I knew that this Kiefer Sutherland look-alike had a plan to enter into each suburban home in this neighborhood and kill every family. I could see him lurking in the shadows of his brick house spying on the neighborhood through his window on the top floor. (Their leaders are stalkers and “peeping Tom's”.) These families were not suspicious, as he made himself appear to be trustworthy and friendly…  (Rom 16:17-18  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.  18  For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. Remember, they are actors.) I was now inside my mother's home... and this new "actor" was there as well. He handed my mother a box of Marlboro Red cigarettes and she accepted them. (She actually smoked these in real life when I was much younger.)  As soon as this actor walked off, I said "NO! NO! Why did you accept them?! Now you're marked!" and she said, "I like Marlboro Reds, so if he gives me Marlboro Reds, I'm going to take them.” (The cigarettes represent receiving bad and false spirits.) (Breath and spirit are the same word in scripture and taking in smoke represents taking in an unclean spirit. If you receive slander from a factious person, you will receive their same spirits.)  She seemed to be very bothered by my objections to her receiving these cigarettes, but I knew how this movie was going to play out, so I was desperately trying to warn her to no avail. (Many in apostasy aren't heeding our warnings currently. They will have to experience judgment before they turn back to righteousness, and still, many won't repent of their wickedness and they will be killed spiritually with an eternal death.) At this point, I knew that this actor was going to come back and kill her because she was marked, and that I had to go. (The mark of the beast) I couldn't stay with her there, or I would be killed as well, as much as it pained me to know what was going to happen. I didn't understand why no one else could see what was happening here. Since this movie was a remake of an old film, it should have been obvious what was going on, but it wasn't to them. (I know people who have seen this happen to others fall into the trap because of disobedience.  John 12:37-40  But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.) I left this suburban area to find an escape and I entered into the city. I stopped by a clothing store that I used to go to when I was younger. (We should not shrink back represented by visiting the younger clothing store. Heb. 10:39 But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.)  I recognized one of the women that worked there in the dream, but not in real life. She was an overweight black lady with a fake ponytail. (This represents people who are walking in darkness; who feed the flesh.) She met me outside with a hug and said "Merry Christmas!" I said Merry Christmas as well ... (I don't personally celebrate Christmas, but I believe the Lord is just using this as a parable.) (A parable of judgment on the apostates at the time of the Man-child's birth.)   I noticed that I had a large overweight, gray, striped cat with me and it walked into the store. The cat wanted to stay behind and I agreed that it was best, because I could not escape what was happening with this cat tagging along. (The fat cat represents an abundance of flesh, self will and rebellion. Grey symbolizes lukewarm people, not white or black. These type people will not escape the faction demons because they must be separated from the Bride and ultimately the body itself.) I thought about the verse Hebrews 12:1-2  Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.) (We must leave the weight of our rebellious sin nature behind, represented by the fat, grey cat, if we want to escape the judgment of faction that is coming.) The lady in the store agreed that the cat could remain there in the store, but again, I was sad because I knew what was coming and that they would not be safe if they did not escape. This "actor" would come and kill them too, including the cat. (Psa 37:38 As for transgressors, (or the “rebellious”) they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off. And   2Pe 2:12  But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed.) I left the store and continued up a flight of stairs to leave this area as well, and then I woke up. The dream felt so real that when I woke up I felt like this was still happening, and I was trying to figure out what movie this was that they were trying to remake. (The people who don't learn from His-story are doomed to repeat it.) I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random and received: Joel 2:19 (15-20 in context)  Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. (Notice: At the time of the attempted attack on the Bride she and the Man-child will be revealed and delivered.)  17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God? 18 Then was the Lord jealous for his land, and had pity on his people. 19 And the Lord answered and said unto his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations; 20 but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its forepart into the eastern sea, and its hinder part into the western sea; and its stench shall come up, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things. (The northern army is like Pharoah's army at the Red Sea. It is the end of the persecutors and the beginning of the wilderness tribulation.)

Episode Notes Favor the Bold: Odo and the Changeling... ugh. They could not have conveyed Odo's shame and disgust more clearly. Rom's on death row. The fate of the Alpha Quadrant is in... Quark's hands? Damarr is just bad at everything. Morn?! Kira whoops Damarr like he's Worf on TNG. Nog receives a promotion! The heroes so far are Quark, Rom, and Morn. Sisko is tired of running, time to retake DS9. Sacrifice of Angels: The Charge of the not-so-light brigade. Time for a fleet battle. Quark is... not under suspicion? 4D Chess. The comparative morals of exterminatus vs triumphs. Weyoun finally reads Dukat. Costuming choices. The Female Changeling makes some choices. Quark does some shenanigans. Quark does some SHENANIGANS. Odo to a very disappointingly motivated rescue. Space gods to a very dickish rescue. Check out Justen's new project! The Vampire With No Name is a production of Dubious Creatures Press.
