Das politische ukrainische Bewusstsein wurde gezielt im galizischen "Reagenzglas" gezüchtet – wie ein Gift, das die russische Einheit vergiften sollte. Doch dieses "Reagenzglas" selbst entstand bereits fünf Jahrhunderte zuvor, als der westlichste Teil der Rus in einem fremden Zivilisationsprojekt gefangen war. Von Igor Karaulow

Bishop Nathan Wilson pt.1 Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Hey, this week I interviewed Bishop Nathan Wilson of the Gnostic Union, and it was a good long interview, so I’ll be breaking it up probably into three segments for the next three weeks here. Bishop Wilson earned a diploma of ministry from the Gnostic Catholic Union, and then he later went on to create The Gnostic Union, and he’ll tell you about that in this week’s episode. Here I’ll read you the intro from their website. “The Gnostic Union is an independent sacramental assembly of Gnostic Christian communities and individuals. It exists to uphold the Gnostic Christian traditions and to encourage and promote the work of Christ and the Holy Sophia in the world.As an international, independent, autonomous, non-political organization, the Gnostic Union is in no way dependent upon any other authority outside of its own administration. We are neither Roman Catholic, Orthodox, nor Protestant. We are Gnostic Christians that encourage self-development and connecting with the spirit within to build a personal relationship with God, the Monad, the Father. Our bishops, priests, and deacons are merely guides to help you on your spiritual journey. The Gnostic Union aligns itself with the history and teachings of the first Christians of early first century Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ as found in the Gospel of Thomas. We encourage new members to read from the Nag Hammadi and to understand how different early Christianity is from modern mainstream Christianity. We welcome all people, regardless of past religious backgrounds or faiths. Gnosis means knowledge, not just simple intellectual knowledge, but deep spiritual knowledge within you. Knowledge from the Spirit, from the Holy Spirit, and from and of God.” You see, I felt that that really went along with what we talk about here at Gnostic Insights, and so when Bishop Wilson reached out to me via our Substack Gnostic Reformation site, I was more than happy to engage in conversation with him, and I thought that having a talk with him along with you and then broadcasting it would be helpful to all of us. Here’s the last little bit that it says on their Gnostic Union homepage, which is only one page long. It’s still in development. It says, “Gnostic Christian theology differs greatly from Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Gnostic Christianity does not depend upon the authority of a Pope or the Church. Instead, it emphasizes being reborn in Spirit, building a personal spiritual relationship with God, and becoming Christ-like by enacting the teachings of Jesus Christ in our lives. Gnostic Christianity began from earlier Gnostic traditions, such as Hermeticism and Mysticism, which arose from Jewish mystics. Gnosticism itself is much older than Judaism, and traces back to the Hermetics of ancient Egypt, the Druids, and the ancient Greeks. Although many Gnostic Christian theologies differed, they shared a common theme of a trapped spiritual essence within the material body, the divine spark, the soul, or the spark of Sophia. The ultimate goal for Gnostic Christians was to become like Jesus, to be reborn in Spirit, through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Sophia, and to know thyself, reflecting the divine essence within.” As you know, here at Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation, I stay away from the histories, because it seems to me that what is important is the here-and-now relationship we have with the Christ and with the Fullness of God. And so, I’m just not all that interested in history, but as you’ll hear from these ongoing interviews with Bishop Wilson, he’s all about history. So, for those of you who have been missing that strain of thought in our Gnostic Insights here, you’ll get an earful for the next three weeks. So without further ado, here's part one of my interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of The Gnostic Union. Cyd: Well, such a pleasure to see you. You have such a nice smile. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for having me. It’s a pleasure. It’s always lovely to meet other Gnostics, other spiritual people, all those with open hearts and open minds. It’s always lovely to see. Cyd:Yes. Yes. Yes, it’s true. I wish I had more of these people close around me. Do you have neighbors who are Gnostic? Do you have people you can actually face-to-face with? Bishop Nathan Wilson:I’ve met a priest that I can now speak face-to-face, which was really good. So, it was the first real Gnostic I got to speak to face-to-face. Mostly, I was speaking to many online in other parts of the world, and I kind of felt like I was the only one here in Adelaide, Australia. So, I kind of felt like the one odd villager out. So, it was lovely to meet some other people. I’ve trained people, and other people have done what they wanted. Other people carried on as undercover Gnostics in this world. So, yeah. Cyd:Let me get a formal introduction to you here going. This is Bishop Nathan Wilson of the Gnostic Union, and we have connected through Substack, although you don’t have a Substack presence, do you? You don’t have a site? Bishop Nathan Wilson:No, no. We have got a website in the works, but it’s still in development. I’m not too tech-savvy, but we’ve got other people that are. So, we’re mostly on Facebook and YouTube at the moment. Cyd:Well, wonderful. Now, tell me the difference between the Gnostic Catholic Union and just the Gnostic Union. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, we used to be the Gnostic Catholic Union as well until I basically got in charge, and then I removed the Catholic part, which they only had for the Latin reasons, meaning universal, but not everyone knows that Latin subject. They’re just going to see Catholic, and usually today’s world, when you have a Catholic Union, it’s mostly those who have been brought up with a Catholic background that have now found Gnosis, and in turn, carry on those old traditions, which I don’t find anything wrong with. I think there’s many different ways to experience Gnosis. Gnosis doesn’t belong to any religion. It’s something you find within. It’s what you experience, spiritual knowledge gifted to you by what’s divine, by God, by the Father, by the Mother-Father, whichever term you like. The Source. It could even be referenced to, given you to by divine beings, by angels, angelic forces. So, Gnosis is something that you experience. So, it’s yours. It’s personal. It’s intimate. So, it’s a beautiful thing. So, with the Gnostic Union, we are more open to different Gnostic schools of thoughts. So, you could be a Sethian, a Valentinian. You could be a Carpucratian Gnostic, whichever. It doesn’t matter. You could be a Jewish Christian. Whichever the path is—we’re not really dogmatic. So, we appreciate all those who come into this spiritual life, seeking answers, and respecting each other’s beliefs, which is also rare. We have to remember, when we looked at the ancient schools of thought regarding Gnosticism, the ancient Gnostics got along. They didn’t kill each other. They didn’t fight. They had some disagreements, but they shared each other’s writings, which is fantastic. So, that’s very rare when you see that in a religious or even a spiritual school of thought. Many people can be my way only. So, that’s where Gnosis comes in, that inner spiritual experience. So, one’s own personal relationship with what’s divine. The Gnostic Union wants to encourage that, not to be bound by traditions. That’s mostly the difference between the Gnostic Union and the Gnostic Catholics, where they will be more bound by tradition, more bound by a dogmatic experience. We’re not really about that, not dissing any of that. We don’t mind, but we’re more open. Cyd:So, the Gnostic Catholics are still going on? That church is still active, but you have stepped away from them then, in that sense? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Yes, pretty much. So, we’ve done our own independent thing. So, that way we can have more schools of thought. I prefer it like that, so we can all grow from each other, which is something that I’m more about. So, that’s why I went into more of the Gnostic Union sense of things and removing the Catholic part. Some people didn’t like Catholic. Some people liked it and others were stoked that I removed that term from the group. I much prefer it. It’s less of a mouthful as well. I like things nice and simple as well. Cyd:Yes. So, it’s union—it's unity. That’s what the union means in the name, not like a labor union, but the union of Gnostics. That’s lovely. That’s very lovely. So, how many people are associating with the Gnostic Union at this point? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, we have a couple of other different groups from different parts of the world. We have a Gnostic Catholic group. I think they’re Gnostic Catholic Unitarians located in the Philippines. Then, we have other groups as well that associate with us. Within the Union itself, we have a couple of different ones. We have also side branches as well that used to be a part of the Gnostic Catholic Union, but there was some theological difference. So, some splitting went on. So, there’s other groups. We still recognize each other. Within the Gnostic Union at the moment. There is Bishop Jason, me, Bishop Nathan Wilson, Bishop Lorenzo, David and Michael, Randall over in South Africa. There’s also Priest Jeremy and Edgar and Rus. So, there’s quite a few. At the moment, it’s mostly men. We’re hoping to have some females join as well. We did have a couple of female members back in the Gnostic Catholic Union, but they ultimately retired. So, we’re hoping to expand. So, the Gnostic Union is kind of fresh on the scene. So, everything’s still building. Cyd:How fresh is it? How long have you been in existence here? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, in the Union itself, probably about almost two years now. It’s still maybe a year, year and a half, something like that there. So, it’s still growing in a sense. So, we’re doing okay, which is not too bad. We’re mostly on Facebook and YouTube. So, we do our online masses and group gatherings and stuff like that online as well. And mostly, just support each other’s individual works as well as promote each other’s work. And sometimes, I might edit a couple of videos of all of us together, give it to other people with their own channels, their own independent use, and then I’ll put it onto, say, the Union sites. Other people can go check it out as well. Cyd:I’ll be putting this up on my site. I’m going to post this to YouTube and make it for my audio podcast. But I’ll also give you the recording so that you can use it at your site if you’d like. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Oh, lovely. Lovely. I’d enjoy that as well. And again, thanks for reaching out to me. I very much enjoy speaking to like-minded individuals as well. And regarding even my translations that you brought me on to discuss as well, that’s relatively new as well. It took me about two years to fully actually translate. So, to get it all together, I use encyclopedias, I used Greek, Koine Greek dictionaries, as well as I used Bill Mounce, which is one of the top Koine Greek-speaking people in the world. I have a few friends that can speak Koine Greek as well as modern Greek as well. So, that also came in handy. So, it took me a while. I started doing that while I was still with the Gnostic Catholic Union and I didn’t finish it until the Gnostic Union. Cyd:So, tell us about, you’re speaking of your translation, tell us about that. It’s your New Testament, is it? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Yeah, I did the New Testament Gospels. I used Codex Sinaiticus because that was the oldest complete text, but then I wanted to do non-canonical. I didn’t know any Coptic at all, so I didn’t want to use any other people’s work. I just went to the Koine Greek, used what knowledge I did know, and I also used experts as well. So, I was able to look at every definition of the word and term and use. I did the Gospel of Thomas, which I actually first messed up on because I found out that the version I was looking at first was actually inspired by the Coptic version put into Koine Greek, and I realized it’s not the text. So, I went to the actual fragments themselves, and so I translated from there. It’s not very long. I didn’t use any AI recovery, so anything that wasn’t visible to our naked eye, I did not touch. So, I didn’t want to have any guessing involved. So, I just put what it was, and I did the Greek Gospel of Mary, as well as the Gospel of James, the Gospel of Peter, and I did three unknown Gospels, and they are little fragments, and they are Papyrus Oxyrhynchus. I have the names here. Actually, I better put that in—5072, and the other one was Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 840 and the other one is Egerton Gospel. So, they’re little fragments. The titles are missing. We don’t know who wrote them, so they’re unknown, but they could and likely do predate the Gospels that we do have. So, they predate the fragments we have. So, that’s interesting. So, all the fragments we have are second century. It’s likely they predate the fragments that we have. So, I chose to do them, but the interesting side was the Egerton gospel, which was actually a two-sided text, and Bart D. Ehrman actually did side two, and I did side one. So, he didn’t realize that there was a side on one. So, that means he was only looking at digital copy only, just like me. So, he didn’t actually look at the actual Papyrus itself, and so when I did one-sided, I didn’t realize there was a double side to that text, and so otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. So, the interesting thing is side one has not been publicly released for public domain, where side two has been released, which is very suspect, if you ask me, and I didn’t like that. So, I thought I’d introduce some texts that are very little looked at that were very Gnostic, such as Jesus insulting the Pharisees for dipping in waters that pigs jumped into and making themselves look like prostitutes to attract men. Cyd:They’re highly offensive, yes. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Yes, and that’s why they really want to release that publicly. So, you have to pay a scholar for their works, and that’s not really fair. All this knowledge should be for free, especially when you’re looking at our own religious or spirituality or the text involved in that. Otherwise, we’re limiting ourselves, and that’s definitely not fair. So, I think we should be more open, and the text should be up for public display, public domain for everyone to have access to. So, that’s what I ultimately believe in. It’s one reason I chose to share my translations and make accessible for free digital copies. I didn’t want people to just buy my work rather than download the digital text and just read it for themselves. Go to the library, print it out. It might be cheaper. So, when I do sell my texts, I donate it, like some of it’s a charity anyway, to Make-A-Wish Foundation. So, that’s something I do on my end. So, everything I do, I try not to make money just for myself. I try to do other things with it because I’m not really materialistic. I live very much a monk lifestyle, so I read a lot. Cyd:Yeah. Yeah, I do too. I live like a nun, I say. I’ve got a little cloister where I sleep. I live in a one-room place, so it’s very interesting. Would you explain to us the difference between the Koine Greek and the Coptic Greek and which was written and why are there two different versions? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Okay, well the Coptic, when you see Coptic Greek, that’s devolving into Coptic. So, very early proto-Coptic is what scholars term, is the developing into it. You see it with Greeks in the very language. Otherwise, Coptic language very much is a mixture of Greek and Egyptian. So, Egyptian hieroglyph turned into writing basically, but mixed in with Greek. So, Greek was like the English of the past back then. Hebrew also borrowed from the Greek during the second temple period of Jesus’ time. So, the word Judaism and synagogue are Greek words, for instance. So, a lot of borrowing, but the Greeks also borrowed from the Canaanites, such as the Phoenician language or the alphabet. So, that’s also fascinating. So, the ancient past, it was all about borrowing and making it your own, you know. But yeah, with Greek as well, that would be also evolving as well. So, you have, within the gospel itself, you might have one word being spelt slightly different, but ultimately meaning the same thing. And all that is, is one dialect from another speaking from one coastal region to a different coastal region. Obviously, saying the same thing, it just might be the accent. So, that’s played different in the language. So, it’s like we see hilios or hilion, but it’s the same root message. It’s just one person’s pronouncing it in the market different from this region, because he’s closer to the shore and other ones closer to the inner cities. And that’s basically all. So, Greek’s very advanced. You can have one word that can mean ultimately different meanings. And some words you come across can have hundreds of meanings, and that can make things difficult when translating. So, with the Koine Greek, we only know 70% to 90% of the language. We know the 100% of the alphabetical, but we don’t know every context of use. So, because of that difficulty, I had to add alternative English translations. So, I realized then that every translation we’re reading is just based on someone else’s interpretation of that translation. And it’s like, oh, that kind of sucks, so I put them all in there. So, when you come across the word aftos, for he, she, it, they, them, this one, I leave it as all of that, so, you can choose what that means. Because Jesus is speaking to diverse audiences. He’s speaking to males and females, not just men. And that’s what people forget. It’s like the word for spirit is also very feminine in Hebrew. In Greek, it’s masculine and feminine. So, it’s used as both, which is fascinating as well for the spirit within us, you know. So, but again, that’s going back to that root meaning of feminine, because when you add in the word hagion pneuma you now have the Holy Spirit, but that’s a feminine word of it. Otherwise, the root word of masculine is hagios, but the female name or the feminine version of that concept is hagion. Cyd:Ah, that’s fascinating. Yeah. You run into the same problem when translating Chinese, because Chinese pictograms can just mean many, many things. So, I’ve studied the Tao Te Ching quite a bit, and everybody’s book that’s famous of the Tao Te Ching, it’s their translation out of a hundred choices for every word. So, it’s, I understand quite a bit what you’re saying there. Well, tell me this, what makes you a bishop? How is it that you’re calling yourself bishop? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, I was ordained by, well, back when it was the Gnostic Catholic Union, I was ordained by Bishop Bill Thomas, and he was the bishop of a church in Florida. He was running a church. He was an older man, so he’s kind of, he retired for a bit, and now he’s more of a wandering bishop, because he had trouble with the funds of running a church. It’d be quite expensive. So, he was part of an organization that was the Gnostic Catholic Union. A lot of members retired as well, then he took over, and then it kind of went on for a few years, and then they started retiring, and then I joined from there, and I was ordained, and I took up a course with them, started off as a deacon, then became a priest, and then as they were retiring, I was made bishop, basically, and so then I was left with a little bit of the reins. So, it was from there, it was a lot more—more churches were involved. So, some of that has also, a lot of them have also retired or ultimately changed theologies. One of the original members of the Gnostic Catholic Union, I believe, is now either an Orthodox priest or joined the Orthodox Church, and he renounces all his old Gnostic past, which is kind of a shame. So, sometimes that does happen. So, people become wanderers because of, people basically rely solely on one priest, oftentimes, which is also sad, and when one priest moves, people lose passion, and sometimes that’s how it is. So, I prefer to have people more independently on their own, not just say rely on me, I make other people bishops so they can carry on with their own, and from there, expand it. So, someone might have, say, the coin enough to start their own church, and from there, maybe, from there, do whatever they need. So, it inspires, and still something to bring a bit of community in, and have a little bit of recognition from other people, basically. So, I kept that term. I was almost considering to remove the title, bishops and priests, but a lot of the old members wanted to keep it as well, and some of the young ones did as well. So, I thought, well, I’ll keep the term for them in their sake. Otherwise, I was going to keep it as teachers, or brothers and sisters, but I still encourage our members to, when dealing with each other, not just sit there and call each other bishops, or bishopettes, or priests, or priestess, whichever term they prefer. I prefer to call us brothers and sisters, which is more stressed. Even with the outfit some people are talking about, I would tell them, remember that Jesus wouldn’t be wandering around with fancy robes, or wearing collared shirts, or wearing gold jewelry, and say, I’m doing now, in a sense. He was out in the wilderness, gathering with community. So, as blessed as those who are poor, you know, so, which was rare. So, a lot of people wanted money back then. So, he was very much for the poor, which is beautiful to see. There were rich Christians. It doesn’t mean that was strictly only for poor people only. There were ones who were shipfarers, and in turn, would carry their message throughout the ports, or from region to region. Cyd:I was just wondering–you are obviously a Christian Gnostic, as am I. I know that you’re open to all Gnosticism, but Gnostics who reject the notion of the Christ, or the need for the Christ, doesn’t that create some kind of difficulty, let’s say? Bishop Nathan Wilson:It would conflict a little bit, yes. I haven’t really come across ones that more reject the Christ. I wouldn’t mind. I have come across ones who have debated me over it in a sense, which I don’t mind in a sense, but I would also encourage them to say, look at the message. Ultimately, it’s about finding the Christ within, being Christ-like for yourself. It goes back to that root word of the first Christians for Christanos, being little Christs, little anointed ones. So, those who were taken on their masters teaching to be Christ-like. But say we have ones that don’t believe Jesus existed. I don’t mind that, because ultimately it is the message, but I will tell them I do believe because I have reasons. I would say for them to look up, say, Judas Kriakos, which is a grandson of Jesus, which is recorded in history. We have church father writings that actually whinged about Jesus’ family being Jewish Christians and not Catholic. So, that’s interesting. So, why would you whinge about a family if the man did not exist? For instance like that. But ultimately, there were some Gnostics that didn’t believe that Jesus existed, but was rather a spirit or was the myth that you took on yourself. So, I’m okay with that, as long as we don’t conflict with each other, with our hearts, as long as we’re not hating each other. So, we can have separate beliefs, as long as we respect those beliefs. Ultimately, that’s what would stop the disheartening and also the conflictions. end part one of interview Okay, we’re going to stop for this week. This is a good place to stop because next, Bishop Wilson goes on to discuss his translation of the New Testament and also some other Gnostic texts. So, we’ll spend next week talking about his translation that he calls the Gnostic Christian Truth Bible, and we’ll get into that. Also, I did record this entire interview as a Zoom video, and as soon as I get that edited, I’ll be posting it to YouTube so you will be able to find it and watch the interview as Bishop Nathan Wilson and I discuss these things. So, I hope to see you there, and thank you for listening this week, and we’ll pick it up again next week. Until then, God bless us all, and onward and upward.

Bishop Nathan Wilson pt.1 Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack.

So, it’s union—it's unity. That’s what the union means in the name, not like a labor union, but the union of Gnostics. That’s lovely. That’s very lovely. So, how many people are associating with the Gnostic Union at this point? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, we have a couple of other different groups from different parts of the world. We have a Gnostic Catholic group. I think they’re Gnostic Catholic Unitarians located in the Philippines. Then, we have other groups as well that associate with us. Within the Union itself, we have a couple of different ones. We have also side branches as well that used to be a part of the Gnostic Catholic Union, but there was some theological difference. So, some splitting went on. So, there’s other groups. We still recognize each other. Within the Gnostic Union at the moment. There is Bishop Jason, me, Bishop Nathan Wilson, Bishop Lorenzo, David and Michael, Randall over in South Africa. There’s also Priest Jeremy and Edgar and Rus. So, there’s quite a few. At the moment, it’s mostly men. We’re hoping to have some females join as well. We did have a couple of female members back in the Gnostic Catholic Union, but they ultimately retired. So, we’re hoping to expand. So, the Gnostic Union is kind of fresh on the scene. So, everything’s still building. Cyd:How fresh is it? How long have you been in existence here? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, in the Union itself, probably about almost two years now. It’s still maybe a year, year and a half, something like that there. So, it’s still growing in a sense. So, we’re doing okay, which is not too bad. We’re mostly on Facebook and YouTube. So, we do our online masses and group gatherings and stuff like that online as well. And mostly, just support each other’s individual works as well as promote each other’s work. And sometimes, I might edit a couple of videos of all of us together, give it to other people with their own channels, their own independent use, and then I’ll put it onto, say, the Union sites. Other people can go check it out as well. Cyd:I’ll be putting this up on my site. I’m going to post this to YouTube and make it for my audio podcast. But I’ll also give you the recording so that you can use it at your site if you’d like. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Oh, lovely. Lovely. I’d enjoy that as well. And again, thanks for reaching out to me. I very much enjoy speaking to like-minded individuals as well. And regarding even my translations that you brought me on to discuss as well, that’s relatively new as well. It took me about two years to fully actually translate. So, to get it all together, I use encyclopedias, I used Greek, Koine Greek dictionaries, as well as I used Bill Mounce, which is one of the top Koine Greek-speaking people in the world. I have a few friends that can speak Koine Greek as well as modern Greek as well. So, that also came in handy. So, it took me a while. I started doing that while I was still with the Gnostic Catholic Union and I didn’t finish it until the Gnostic Union. Cyd:So, tell us about, you’re speaking of your translation, tell us about that. It’s your New Testament, is it? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Yeah, I did the New Testament Gospels. I used Codex Sinaiticus because that was the oldest complete text, but then I wanted to do non-canonical. I didn’t know any Coptic at all, so I didn’t want to use any other people’s work. I just went to the Koine Greek, used what knowledge I did know, and I also used experts as well. So, I was able to look at every definition of the word and term and use. I did the Gospel of Thomas, which I actually first messed up on because I found out that the version I was looking at first was actually inspired by the Coptic version put into Koine Greek, and I realized it’s not the text. So, I went to the actual fragments themselves, and so I translated from there. It’s not very long. I didn’t use any AI recovery, so anything that wasn’t visible to our naked eye, I did not touch. So, I didn’t want to have any guessing involved. So, I just put what it was, and I did the Greek Gospel of Mary, as well as the Gospel of James, the Gospel of Peter, and I did three unknown Gospels, and they are little fragments, and they are Papyrus Oxyrhynchus. I have the names here. Actually, I better put that in—5072, and the other one was Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 840 and the other one is Egerton Gospel. So, they’re little fragments. The titles are missing. We don’t know who wrote them, so they’re unknown, but they could and likely do predate the Gospels that we do have. So, they predate the fragments we have. So, that’s interesting. So, all the fragments we have are second century. It’s likely they predate the fragments that we have. So, I chose to do them, but the interesting side was the Egerton gospel, which was actually a two-sided text, and Bart D. Ehrman actually did side two, and I did side one. So, he didn’t realize that there was a side on one. So, that means he was only looking at digital copy only, just like me. So, he didn’t actually look at the actual Papyrus itself, and so when I did one-sided, I didn’t realize there was a double side to that text, and so otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. So, the interesting thing is side one has not been publicly released for public domain, where side two has been released, which is very suspect, if you ask me, and I didn’t like that. So, I thought I’d introduce some texts that are very little looked at that were very Gnostic, such as Jesus insulting the Pharisees for dipping in waters that pigs jumped into and making themselves look like prostitutes to attract men. Cyd:They’re highly offensive, yes. Bishop Nathan Wilson:Yes, and that’s why they really want to release that publicly. So, you have to pay a scholar for their works, and that’s not really fair. All this knowledge should be for free, especially when you’re looking at our own religious or spirituality or the text involved in that. Otherwise, we’re limiting ourselves, and that’s definitely not fair. So, I think we should be more open, and the text should be up for public display, public domain for everyone to have access to. So, that’s what I ultimately believe in. It’s one reason I chose to share my translations and make accessible for free digital copies. I didn’t want people to just buy my work rather than download the digital text and just read it for themselves. Go to the library, print it out. It might be cheaper. So, when I do sell my texts, I donate it, like some of it’s a charity anyway, to Make-A-Wish Foundation. So, that’s something I do on my end. So, everything I do, I try not to make money just for myself. I try to do other things with it because I’m not really materialistic. I live very much a monk lifestyle, so I read a lot. Cyd:Yeah. Yeah, I do too. I live like a nun, I say. I’ve got a little cloister where I sleep. I live in a one-room place, so it’s very interesting. Would you explain to us the difference between the Koine Greek and the Coptic Greek and which was written and why are there two different versions? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Okay, well the Coptic, when you see Coptic Greek, that’s devolving into Coptic. So, very early proto-Coptic is what scholars term, is the developing into it. You see it with Greeks in the very language. Otherwise, Coptic language very much is a mixture of Greek and Egyptian. So, Egyptian hieroglyph turned into writing basically, but mixed in with Greek. So, Greek was like the English of the past back then. Hebrew also borrowed from the Greek during the second temple period of Jesus’ time. So, the word Judaism and synagogue are Greek words, for instance. So, a lot of borrowing, but the Greeks also borrowed from the Canaanites, such as the Phoenician language or the alphabet. So, that’s also fascinating. So, the ancient past, it was all about borrowing and making it your own, you know. But yeah, with Greek as well, that would be also evolving as well. So, you have, within the gospel itself, you might have one word being spelt slightly different, but ultimately meaning the same thing. And all that is, is one dialect from another speaking from one coastal region to a different coastal region. Obviously, saying the same thing, it just might be the accent. So, that’s played different in the language. So, it’s like we see hilios or hilion, but it’s the same root message. It’s just one person’s pronouncing it in the market different from this region, because he’s closer to the shore and other ones closer to the inner cities. And that’s basically all. So, Greek’s very advanced. You can have one word that can mean ultimately different meanings. And some words you come across can have hundreds of meanings, and that can make things difficult when translating. So, with the Koine Greek, we only know 70% to 90% of the language. We know the 100% of the alphabetical, but we don’t know every context of use. So, because of that difficulty, I had to add alternative English translations. So, I realized then that every translation we’re reading is just based on someone else’s interpretation of that translation. And it’s like, oh, that kind of sucks, so I put them all in there. So, when you come across the word aftos, for he, she, it, they, them, this one, I leave it as all of that, so, you can choose what that means. Because Jesus is speaking to diverse audiences. He’s speaking to males and females, not just men. And that’s what people forget. It’s like the word for spirit is also very feminine in Hebrew. In Greek, it’s masculine and feminine. So, it’s used as both, which is fascinating as well for the spirit within us, you know. So, but again, that’s going back to that root meaning of feminine, because when you add in the word hagion pneuma you now have the Holy Spirit, but that’s a feminine word of it. Otherwise, the root word of masculine is hagios, but the female name or the feminine version of that concept is hagion. Cyd:Ah, that’s fascinating. Yeah. You run into the same problem when translating Chinese, because Chinese pictograms can just mean many, many things. So, I’ve studied the Tao Te Ching quite a bit, and everybody’s book that’s famous of the Tao Te Ching, it’s their translation out of a hundred choices for every word. So, it’s, I understand quite a bit what you’re saying there. Well, tell me this, what makes you a bishop? How is it that you’re calling yourself bishop? Bishop Nathan Wilson:Well, I was ordained by, well, back when it was the Gnostic Catholic Union, I was ordained by Bishop Bill Thomas, and he was the bishop of a church in Florida. He was running a church. He was an older man, so he’s kind of, he retired for a bit, and now he’s more of a wandering bishop, because he had trouble with the funds of running a church. It’d be quite expensive. So, he was part of an organization that was the Gnostic Catholic Union. A lot of members retired as well, then he took over, and then it kind of went on for a few years, and then they started retiring, and then I joined from there, and I was ordained, and I took up a course with them, started off as a deacon, then became a priest, and then as they were retiring, I was made bishop, basically, and so then I was left with a little bit of the reins. So, it was from there, it was a lot more—more churches were involved. So, some of that has also, a lot of them have also retired or ultimately changed theologies. One of the original members of the Gnostic Catholic Union, I believe, is now either an Orthodox priest or joined the Orthodox Church, and he renounces all his old Gnostic past, which is kind of a shame. So, sometimes that does happen. So, people become wanderers because of, people basically rely solely on one priest, oftentimes, which is also sad, and when one priest moves, people lose passion, and sometimes that’s how it is. So, I prefer to have people more independently on their own, not just say rely on me, I make other people bishops so they can carry on with their own, and from there, expand it. So, someone might have, say, the coin enough to start their own church, and from there, maybe, from there, do whatever they need. So, it inspires, and still something to bring a bit of community in, and have a little bit of recognition from other people, basically. So, I kept that term. I was almost considering to remove the title, bishops and priests, but a lot of the old members wanted to keep it as well, and some of the young ones did as well. So, I thought, well, I’ll keep the term for them in their sake. Otherwise, I was going to keep it as teachers, or brothers and sisters, but I still encourage our members to, when dealing with each other, not just sit there and call each other bishops, or bishopettes, or priests, or priestess, whichever term they prefer. I prefer to call us brothers and sisters, which is more stressed. Even with the outfit some people are talking about, I would tell them, remember that Jesus wouldn’t be wandering around with fancy robes, or wearing collared shirts, or wearing gold jewelry, and say, I’m doing now, in a sense. He was out in the wilderness, gathering with community. So, as blessed as those who are poor, you know, so, which was rare. So, a lot of people wanted money back then. So, he was very much for the poor, which is beautiful to see. There were rich Christians. It doesn’t mean that was strictly only for poor people only. There were ones who were shipfarers, and in turn, would carry their message throughout the ports, or from region to region. Cyd:I was just wondering–you are obviously a Christian Gnostic, as am I. I know that you’re open to all Gnosticism, but Gnostics who reject the notion of the Christ, or the need for the Christ, doesn’t that create some kind of difficulty, let’s say? Bishop Nathan Wilson:It would conflict a little bit, yes. I haven’t really come across ones that more reject the Christ. I wouldn’t mind. I have come across ones who have debated me over it in a sense, which I don’t mind in a sense, but I would also encourage them to say, look at the message. Ultimately, it’s about finding the Christ within, being Christ-like for yourself. It goes back to that root word of the first Christians for Christanos, being little Christs, little anointed ones. So, those who were taken on their masters teaching to be Christ-like. But say we have ones that don’t believe Jesus existed. I don’t mind that, because ultimately it is the message, but I will tell them I do believe because I have reasons. I would say for them to look up, say, Judas Kriakos, which is a grandson of Jesus, which is recorded in history. We have church father writings that actually whinged about Jesus’ family being Jewish Christians and not Catholic. So, that’s interesting. So, why would you whinge about a family if the man did not exist? For instance like that. But ultimately, there were some Gnostics that didn’t believe that Jesus existed, but was rather a spirit or was the myth that you took on yourself. So, I’m okay with that, as long as we don’t conflict with each other, with our hearts, as long as we’re not hating each other. So, we can have separate beliefs, as long as we respect those beliefs. Ultimately, that’s what would stop the disheartening and also the conflictions. end part one of interview Okay, we’re going to stop for this week. This is a good place to stop because next, Bishop Wilson goes on to discuss his translation of the New Testament and also some other Gnostic texts. So, we’ll spend next week talking about his translation that he calls the Gnostic Christian Truth Bible, and we’ll get into that. Also, I did record this entire interview as a Zoom video, and as soon as I get that edited, I’ll be posting it to YouTube so you will be able to find it and watch the interview as Bishop Nathan Wilson and I discuss these things. So, I hope to see you there, and thank you for listening this week, and we’ll pick it up again next week. Until then, God bless us all, and onward and upward.

When the Rural Electrification Act was signed in 1936, only 10% of U.S. farms and rural homes had power. But the REA helped achieve near universal electrification in rural America and is still vital to ensuring that co-ops can deliver affordable, reliable power, including through the RUS electric loan program. To mark the REA's 90th anniversary, we'll talk to NRECA CEO Jim Matheson and RUS Administrator Karl Elmshaeuser on the law's legacy and how co-ops continue to carry out its mission. 

Președintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski i-a adresat președintelui rus Vladimir Putin o scrisoare deschisă în care îi propune o întîlnire față-n față pentru încheierea războiului. Putin a răspuns că nu vede vreun motiv să se întîlnească cu Zelenski, dacă nu este schițat un acord de pace. Liderii europeni Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron și Keir Starmer au salutat și susțin propunerea lui Zelenski. Care a fost miza lui Volodimir Zelenski să-i propună liderului de la Kremlin o întîlnire față-n față? Care este situația de pe front, ce putere mai are Ucraina de a rezista atacurilor Federației Ruse? L-am întrebat pe Mihai Isac, analist de politică internațională, gazda emisiunii „Fake News Alert” de la TVR Moldova. Scrisoarea lui Zelenski pare că îi e adresată lui Putin, dar fiind un document deschis, publicul ei e de fapt mult mai larg. Președintele ucrainean vizează elitele ruse, administrația Trump, liderii europeni și chiar opinia publică internațională. E un mijloc public de presiune. Cît de mult contează acest gen de diplomație?Mihai Isac: „Contează foarte mult, avînd în vedere că – ați menționat corect – nu este o scrisoare adresată doar președintelui Putin. Este o scrisoare adresată președintelui american Trump, în anul super electoral american 2026. Sînt mai puțin de șase luni pînă la așa-numitele midterm elections, alegerile de la jumătatea mandatului prezidențial din Statele Unite, unde sînt puse în joc o treime din locurile pentru Senatul american și întreaga componență a Camerei Reprezentanților. Aceste alegeri pot influența poziția Statelor Unite cu privire la Ucraina, dacă Partidul Republican va pierde controlul camerei superioare sau inferioare. Ne aducem aminte ce s-a întîmplat în epoca Biden, cînd Partidul Republican se opunea programelor lansate de administrația democrată Biden pentru susținerea Ucrainei. De asemenea, este o scrisoare adresată oligarhilor din jurul lui Putin, publicului din Ucraina, partenerilor europeni – și vedem și susținerea de care s-a bucurat acest demers din partea liderilor german, francez, britanic în timpul vizitei lui Zelenski în Marea Britanie. De asemenea, trebuie să subliniem că președintele Zelenski a încercat și implementarea unei diplomații a oligarhilor și inclusiv președintele rus a recunoscut în timpul lucrărilor summitului de la St. Petersburg, așa-numitul Davos rusesc, că oligarhul Abramovici a primit de la Zelenski un mesaj în timpul unei deplasări pe care acesta a făcut-o în Ucraina, un mesaj care a fost transmis lui Putin, dar că partea rusă refuză cu obstinație orice reluare a discuțiilor, în ciuda demersurilor de acest gen, dar și a presiunilor exercitate de alte state care ar dori să participe la declanșarea discuțiilor. Atît timp cît criza din Orientul Mijlociu ocupă agenda principală a Occidentului, Federația Rusă evită cu orice preț lansarea unor discuții care ar putea să ducă la o încetare a focului pe o perioadă mai lungă.”În eventualitatea unui acord de pace sau unui armistițiu va fi nevoie de garanții de securitate pentru Ucraina. Inclusiv o forță multinațională după încetarea focului. Ce ar trebui să conțină aceste garanții?Mihai Isac: „Aceste garanții ar trebui în primul rînd să permită instalarea unui sistem care să prevină încălcarea armistiţiului de către partea rusă. Partea rusă obișnuiește să încheie un armistițiu și să-l încalce atunci cînd îi convine. Dar este nevoie de prezență aeriană masivă, este nevoie de prezența pe teren a unor forțe din diferite state. (...) Este mult, mult prea devreme să vorbim de pace în Ucraina, dar poporul ucrainean a demonstrat că nu dorește să trăiască sub tirania Federației Ruse și, ne place sau nu ne place, vom acorda sprijin Ucrainei sau nu vom acorda sprijin Ucrainei, poporul ucrainian va continua să lupte pentru independență. Iar poziția Europei în lume va fi definită de modul în care va trata dosarul Ucrainei.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Consiliul de Securitate al ONU s-a reunit luni, la cererea României, după ce o dronă rusească a lovit un bloc din Galaţi şi a rănit două persoane. Sesiunea specială a Consiliului de Securitate al ONU a avut loc la New York, în prezența ministrei de externe Oana Țoiu. Care sînt mizele acestei reuniuni pentru România şi pentru întreaga nostră regiune? Cum au gestionat autorităţile române situaţia creată de prăbuşirea dronei ruseşti peste un bloc de locuinţe pe teritoriul ţării noastre? Am întrebat-o pe Oana Popescu Zamfir, directoarea think tank-ului GlobalFocus Center. Reprezentantul Federaţiei Ruse în Consiliul de Securitate al ONU a pus sub semnul întrebării provenienţa dronei care a lovit blocul de la Galaţi şi a cerut o investigaţie la care să participe şi Rusia. Ministra Oana Ţoiu a reacţionat subliniind că investigaţiile tehnice indică fără îndoială că aparatul de zbor este de fabricaţie rusească şi a remarcat ceea ce a numit un mare paradox: Federaţia Rusă, ca membru permanent în acest Consiliu „ar trebui să asigure respectarea Cartei ONU şi vedem că ea este agresorul”. Oana Popescu Zamfir: „Cred că trebuie să vorbim despre trei paliere diferite de reacție în cazul României. Pe de-o parte, cel diplomatic, unde, tocmai în contextul scăderii încrederii în capacitatea instituțiilor românești de a performa la nivelul pe care îl așteptăm de la ele, aș simți nevoia să atrag atenția ca mesajele pe care le-a dat ministra Oana Ţoiu nu sînt mesajele ei personale, sînt mesajele pe care le-a elaborat diplomația românească. Și cred că asta arată că atunci cînd se vrea, există capacitate în Ministerul de Externe pentru ca România să poată să aibă o poziție de politică externă asertivă. Deci, pe acest palier, cred că reacția a fost foarte bună. Mai există palierul de comunicare strategică, extrem de important, avînd în vedere că ținta Rusiei, pînă la urmă, nu este în nici un caz populația civilă a României. Cu siguranță scopul Rusiei nu a fost să facă niște victime civile între cetățenii români. Scopul Rusiei este acela ca prin astfel de mijloace să slăbească sprijinul pentru Ucraina, pentru că este foarte ușor să consolidezi mesajul că dacă nu am fi acordat acest sprijin, nu ne-am fi aflat, direct sau indirect, pe traiectoria dronelor rusești, să scadă coeziunea între aliați. Pentru că de fiecare dată cînd un stat membru NATO se confruntă cu astfel de incidente, există întrebarea în ce măsură celelalte state sînt dispuse sau nu să-l sprijine. Vedem dezbaterea din spațiul public despre poziția Statelor Unite – dacă ea a fost sau nu suficient de fermă față de sprijinirea României. Or, aici instituțiile românești, în frunte cu administrația prezidențială, au dovedit un amatorism absolut șocant pentru faptul că sîntem deja în al patrulea an de război și că în spațiul public, s-a atras atenția deja în toate felurile posibile asupra importanței covîrşitoare a comunicării strategice. Ultimul palier este cel al securității per se. Pînă la urmă, primul în ordinea priorităților. Important este să nu mai fie nimeni victimă a unor astfel de incidente, să nu moară cumva cineva și, pe cît posibil, România să fie ferită de orice fel de efecte negative secundare ale vecinătății cu Ucraina. Or, și aici, deși sîntem în al patrulea an de război, vedem că autoritățile române încă nu au echipamentul necesar sau coordonarea necesară cu vecinii ucraineni și cu ceilalți aliaţi din NATO pentru a putea să facă față cu succes acestor incidente.”Ar fi avut argumente România să invoce articolul 4 din tratatul NATO, cel care prevede că orice stat membru al alianţei poate cere consultări cu aliații atunci cînd consideră că integritatea teritorială, independența politică sau securitatea sa sînt amenințate?Oana Popescu Zamfir: „Ar fi avut argumente, dar cred că a fost o alegere mai bună să ridicăm această chestiune în Consiliul de Securitate. Există o cutumă, mai degrabă la nivel tacit decît la nivelul regulilor scrise, de a nu face exces din invocarea articolului 4. Articolul 4 este mereu văzut ca o anticameră a articolului 5. Este un fel de modalitate de evitare a invocării directe a articolului 5. Articolul 4 în sine are o greutate diplomatică și securitară chiar extrem de importantă. Și atunci e de evitat utilizarea lui atunci cînd nu avem de-a face cu incidente majore, cu impact la nivelul alianței. Or, incidentul pe care l-am avut noi în România are în primul rînd portanță la nivel național. Nu este neapărat un incident care să afecteze alianța într-un mod care să solicite un răspuns coordonat la nivel NATO. Asta nu înseamnă că el nu va fi dat. Și NATO la momentul acesta consideră că Rusia a traversat nişte linii roșii. Și cred că vom vedea în perioada următoare acel tip de reacție a alianței care este codificat în documentele acesteia sub forma aceea care prevede că NATO va răspunde în ce domeniu, la ce moment și în ce mod va considera necesar. Fără să fie nevoie de o decizie formalizată, sînt sigură că în perioada următoare vom vedea că NATO își schimbă anumite poziționări față de Rusia, în lumina acestor incidente. Iar asta se poate realiza prin consultări informale între România și ceilalți aliați din NATO, fără să fie nevoie să ridicăm asta la nivel de articol 4. Pentru că s-ar putea să urmeze cîndva, în viitor, incidente și mai grave și e bine să rezervăm astfel de practici doar pentru acele momente.  România nu forțează în mod ne-necesar o reacție la nivelul alianței ci, din contră, înțelege cînd diplomația se face în spatele ușilor închise, dar semnalează în cel mai public mod cu putință, în fața unei audienţe globale, încălcarea de către Rusia a normelor internaționale.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Žaludkem nemusí procházet zrovna láska, ale vytvářet spolu něco, co je dobré, a navíc i dobře chutná, to nepochybně sbližuje. Své o tom ví jeden Rus a několik Ukrajinek v německých Drážďanech. Spolu tam pro široké okolí vyrábějí vedle ukrajinských vareniků třeba i ruské pelmeně. Hájemství těstovinových pokrmů navštívil náš německý zpravodaj Tomáš Havlín.

Before Boaz meets Rus, before the story of David HaMelech begins, before the roots of Moshiach are planted, Megillas Rus pauses to tell us something that seems almost unnecessary:Boaz greeted his workers with the Name of Hashem.Why does that matter?Chazal reveal that this was not just good manners. It was one of three moments where Beis Din shel Mata acted, and Beis Din shel Maalah agreed. Something shifted below, and Heaven said yes.In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burh explores the deep connection between Kerias HaMegillah, greeting another Jew with Hashem's Name, and the takanah of maaser. All three reveal one central truth: Hashem does not want to overwhelm the world from Above. He wants us to make space for Him from below.Megillas Esther teaches us to find Hashem inside concealment. Boaz teaches us to find Hashem inside an ordinary human encounter. Maaser teaches us to bring Hashem into our possessions, systems, and responsibilities.Moshiach begins when the field is no longer just a field, workers are no longer just workers, and a poor outsider gathering forgotten grain is seen as carrying the presence of Hashem.Before redemption begins, someone has to learn how to say hello.

The Battle of Gog and Magog Ezekiel 38:1-3 “And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.” This chosen text from the opening verses of Ezekiel chapter 38 serves as the foundation for our exposition of the battle of Gog and Magog. The prophecy spans Ezekiel 38 and 39, two chapters that form a unified oracle delivered by the prophet during the Babylonian exile. Ezekiel, whose name means “God strengthens,” was a priest carried into captivity in 597 B.C. alongside King Jehoiachin. His ministry, spanning roughly 593 to 571 B.C., addressed both the judgment upon Judah and the future restoration of God's people.    In these chapters, the Lord shifts from messages of immediate hope and restoration (as seen in Ezekiel 36–37) to a dramatic foretelling of an end-times invasion that will demonstrate His sovereign power over the nations.    The prophecy is set explicitly “in the latter years” and “latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8, 16), pointing to a future period when Israel has been regathered to her land.   By historical geography and biblical genealogy, we understand and believe Gog to be the leader of Russia and Magog as the country itself—Russia. This aligns with a careful reading of the ancient names in light of biblical genealogy, historical geography, and etymological connections preserved in early sources.    The prophecy is not vague symbolism but a specific geopolitical forecast involving a northern power and its allies descending upon a restored Israel.  The structure of the prophecy unfolds in clear stages. Here are the pertinent details presented as bullet points in the order they appear in the biblical text, each accompanied by its primary scripture reference: The divine summons to prophesy against Gog of Magog: The Lord commands Ezekiel to set his face against “Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” and to declare God's opposition (Ezekiel 38:1-3).   God's sovereign control over the invasion force: The Lord declares He will “turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,” drawing forth Gog and his vast army of horses, horsemen, and fully armed troops (Ezekiel 38:4).   The composition of the multinational coalition: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya join with shield and helmet; Gomer and the house of Togarmah from the north quarters come with all their bands, along with “many people” (Ezekiel 38:5-6).   • The command to prepare for battle: Gog and his company are told to be prepared and to act as a guard for the assembled forces (Ezekiel 38:7). The precise timing of the invasion: “After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them” (Ezekiel 38:8).   The nature and scale of the assault: The invaders ascend “like a storm” and cover the land “like a cloud,” with Gog and all his bands and many people (Ezekiel 38:9).   The evil thought that motivates the attack: At that time, thoughts will arise in Gog's mind: “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey…” (Ezekiel 38:10-12).   • The inquiry of observing nations: Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish with their young lions question the invaders' intent to seize spoil, silver, gold, cattle, and goods (Ezekiel 38:13). The confirmation of Israel's security at the time of attack: When God's people Israel dwell safely, Gog will know it (Ezekiel 38:14).   The geographic origin and military character of the force: Gog comes “from thy place out of the north parts,” with many people riding upon horses—a great company and a mighty army (Ezekiel 38:15).   • The divine purpose behind the invasion: God Himself brings Gog against His land so that “the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes” (Ezekiel 38:16). The ancient prophetic witness: God asks whether Gog is the one spoken of “in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel” (Ezekiel 38:17).   The unleashing of divine fury: When Gog comes against the land of Israel, God's fury rises; a great shaking occurs in the land (Ezekiel 38:18-19).   • The cosmic and terrestrial convulsions: All creatures shake at God's presence; mountains are thrown down, steep places fall, and every wall collapses (Ezekiel 38:20). Internal chaos and supernatural judgments: God calls for a sword against Gog throughout the mountains; every man's sword turns against his brother; pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone fall upon the invaders (Ezekiel 38:21-22).   The magnification of God's name: Through these acts, God magnifies and sanctifies Himself so that many nations know “that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 38:23).     Turning to Ezekiel 39, the prophecy continues without break, detailing the complete destruction and its aftermath:   The repeated address and partial decimation: God again declares Himself against Gog and will turn him back, leaving only a sixth part, bringing him upon the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 39:1-2).   The disarmament and slaughter of the army: God smites the bow from Gog's left hand and causes arrows to fall from his right; Gog and all his bands fall upon the mountains of Israel and are given to ravenous birds and beasts (Ezekiel 39:3-5).   Fire sent upon Magog and the isles: God sends fire on Magog and those dwelling carelessly in the isles (Ezekiel 39:6).   The sanctification of God's holy name in Israel: The Lord makes His name known in the midst of Israel and prevents further pollution; the heathen know He is “the Holy One in Israel” (Ezekiel 39:7).   The declaration that the day has come: “Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken” (Ezekiel 39:8).     The seven-year burning of weapons: Israel's inhabitants burn the shields, bucklers, bows, arrows, handstaves, and spears for seven years, using no wood from field or forest (Ezekiel 39:9-10).   The burial of the multitude: Gog and his multitude receive a place of graves in Israel—the valley of the passengers east of the sea, called the valley of Hamon-gog; it stops the noses of passersby (Ezekiel 39:11).   The seven-month cleansing process: The house of Israel buries them for seven months to cleanse the land; all the people participate, and men are employed continually to search and bury remains; a city is named Hamonah (Ezekiel 39:12-16).   The call to the great sacrificial feast: God commands every fowl and beast to assemble for a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the mighty, princes, rams, lambs, goats, bullocks, horses, chariots, and mighty men (Ezekiel 39:17-20).   The global recognition of God's glory: Through this judgment, God sets His glory among the heathen; the house of Israel knows He is the Lord their God from that day forward (Ezekiel 39:21-22).   The explanation to the nations: The heathen learn that Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, but God now hides His face no longer and pours out His Spirit upon the house of Israel (Ezekiel 39:23-29).     This ordered sequence reveals a meticulously orchestrated drama in which human aggression serves divine purpose. Let us now develop these details more fully, verse by verse and concept by concept, so that the exposition remains clear yet grounded in scholarly observation.   The opening command in Ezekiel 38:1-3 is striking in its directness. The Hebrew phrase “set thy face against” (sim paneyka) is a technical prophetic expression used elsewhere in Ezekiel to denote focused opposition (see Ezekiel 4:3; 6:2).    Gog is not merely a title but the personal name of the leader; Magog is the land—identified here as Russia. Scholarly support for this draws first from Genesis 10:2, where Magog appears in the Table of Nations as a son of Japheth.      The first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus explicitly links the descendants of Magog to the Scythians, a fierce nomadic people inhabiting the region north of the Black Sea and Caucasus Mountains—the very territory that became southern Russia.    Early Greek writers such as Hesiod (7th century B.C.) made the same identification. The phrase “chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” further specifies the geographic origin.    The Hebrew “nasi rosh” is best rendered “prince of Rosh,” where “Rosh” is widely understood by many expositors as an ancient designation for the people who later became known as Russians (the name “Rus” appearing in 10th-century sources). Meshech and Tubal, also Japhethite descendants, are associated with regions that later developed into areas around Moscow and Tobolsk.    Thus, the leader Gog emerges from the far northern power of Russia, heading a coalition that includes ancient names now corresponding to modern Iran (Persia), parts of Africa (Ethiopia/Cush and Libya/Put), and northern allies (Gomer and Togarmah, often linked to regions in modern Turkey).     God's control is absolute: “I will put hooks into thy jaws” (Ezekiel 38:4).    This vivid metaphor, drawn from ancient Assyrian and Egyptian practices of leading captives with hooks through the lip or nose, underscores that even the most powerful ruler moves only at the sovereign direction of the Lord.  The army is described with military precision—horses, horsemen, bucklers, shields, swords—reflecting the cavalry-heavy forces of ancient northern steppe peoples, yet the language accommodates any future mechanized equivalent. The coalition's preparation (Ezekiel 38:7) is ironic; they ready themselves, yet they are merely instruments.   The timing is critical and repeated for emphasis: “in the latter years” and “latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8, 16).    Israel must first be “brought back from the sword” and “gathered out of many people” to dwell “safely” on the mountains once waste (Ezekiel 38:8).    This regathering, described in Ezekiel 36–37 as a national resurrection, has its modern counterpart in the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral land. At that moment of apparent security—unwalled villages, no bars or gates (Ezekiel 38:11)—Gog conceives an “evil thought” of plunder.    The motive is economic and strategic: spoil, prey, cattle, goods, silver, and gold (Ezekiel 38:12-13). Observing merchant nations (Sheba, Dedan, Tarshish) question but do not intervene, highlighting the isolation of the attack.   The invasion route is unmistakable: “out of the north parts” (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:2). In biblical geography, “the north” (tsaphon) frequently denotes the direction of ultimate threat (Jeremiah 1:14; 4:6), and from Israel's perspective, the extreme north aligns precisely with Russia's latitude. The force is massive—“a cloud to cover the land” (Ezekiel 38:9, 16)—emphasizing overwhelming numbers.   Yet the true actor is the Lord Himself. He brings Gog against His land precisely “that the heathen may know me” (Ezekiel 38:16). The prophecy echoes earlier oracles (Ezekiel 38:17), indicating this event fulfills long-standing warnings. When the attack begins, divine fury erupts (Ezekiel 38:18).      The “great shaking” (ra'ash) is both literal earthquake and cosmic upheaval (Ezekiel 38:19-20), reminiscent of theophanies at Sinai and in the prophets. Internal confusion turns the invaders' weapons against themselves (Ezekiel 38:21), while supernatural plagues—pestilence, blood, rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone—complete the rout (Ezekiel 38:22). The purpose is unambiguous: “Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations” (Ezekiel 38:23).   Chapter 39 intensifies the judgment. Only a sixth part survives the initial onslaught (Ezekiel 39:2). The army falls on Israel's mountains and open field, becoming food for birds and beasts—a reversal of the sacrificial imagery used against Israel earlier in the book (Ezekiel 39:4-5). Fire falls on Magog itself and the “isles” (coastal or distant lands), signaling global repercussions (Ezekiel 39:6). Israel's seven-year burning of weapons (Ezekiel 39:9-10) and seven-month burial operation (Ezekiel 39:11-16) portray the totality of victory and the thorough cleansing of the land. The valley of Hamon-gog (“the multitude of Gog”) and the city Hamonah become monuments to the defeat. The great sacrificial feast (Ezekiel 39:17-20) echoes the language of Isaiah 34 and Revelation 19, portraying the invaders' destruction as a divine banquet for creation.   The theological climax is restoration and recognition. Israel knows the Lord is their God from that day forward (Ezekiel 39:22), and the nations understand the reason for past captivity and the reality of present divine intervention (Ezekiel 39:23-29). The outpouring of the Spirit seals the renewal.   In summary, this prophecy reveals the Lord's absolute sovereignty over history. A Russian-led coalition, drawn irresistibly southward in the latter days against a restored and apparently secure Israel, meets catastrophic judgment on the mountains of Israel. The event is not the final battle of history (that occurs later, after a thousand years, in Revelation 20:7-9), but a distinct pre-millennial demonstration that the God of Israel alone is Lord.    The details—names, geography, timing, motives, and judgments—cohere with remarkable precision when read in their plain, grammatical-historical sense. The prophecy calls every reader to recognize the God who controls nations, judges evil, and restores His people.        It stands as both warning and comfort: no alliance, however vast or northerly, can thwart the purposes of the Almighty.

Chișinăul și Kievul au nevoie de susținerea Bucureștiului pentru lansarea în iunie a negocierilor politice de aderare la UE, spune în studioul RFI președintele parlamentului moldovean, Igor Grosu. Republica Moldova și Ucraina merită un start comun, urmând ca ulterior fiecare să se miște în ritmul pe care îl poate susține. Chișinăul menține obiectivul de 2028 pentru încheierea negocierilor și 2030 pentru aderare. În același timp, Republica Moldova are nevoie de susținerea României, Ucrainei, a UE și SUA pentru evacuarea trupelor ruse din Transnistria, spune Igor Grosu. Iată temele ediției: - Situație inedită în Transnistria, regiunea separatistă pro-rusă a Republicii Moldova. Criza economica de acolo a luat o asemenea amploare încât administrația nu mai are bani de pensii și salarii. Soluția a fost neașteptată: administrația separatistă a anunțat o colectă, îndemnând agenții economici și populația să doneze pentru pensii și salarii. Autoritățile moldovene spun că este o dovadă despre cât de prost a fost administrată regiunea separatistă. - În Transnistria, copiii învață despre război, prin joacă, încă de la vârsta de 3 ani. Aparatul de propagandă de la Tiraspol intensifică militarizarea educației, transformând școlile în centre de îndoctrinare împotriva Republicii Moldova. De ce se întâmplă acest lucru? Ne explică Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Republica Moldova s-a regăsit printre subiectele de securitate discutate în cadrul summitului B9 de la București. - Peste 50 de delegații vin astăzi la Chișinău la sesiunea ministerială a Comitetului de Miniștri al Consiliului Europei. - O dronă rusească de tip Shahed a survolat aseara timp de o oră Republicii Moldova, de la nord la sud. Spațiul aerian a fost închis. - Republica Moldova va beneficia de 60 de milioane de euro pentru irigare, din partea Agenției Franceze pentru Dezvoltare și a Uniunii Europene. Știrile zilei: Republica Moldova s-a regăsit printre subiectele de securitate discutate în cadrul summitului B9 de la București. Președintele României, Nicușor Dan, a anunțat, în conferința de presă susținută la finalul evenimentului, că Republica Moldova rămâne o preocupare importantă pentru statele din regiune, în contextul amenințărilor venite din partea Rusiei. Șeful statului român a precizat că Republica Moldova se numără printre principalele preocupări ale statelor de pe Flancul Estic, în contextul amenințărilor venite din partea Rusiei. „Din partea noastră, am vorbit despre Moldova, stat de pe Flancul Estic amenințat, aflat într-un proces de război hibrid cu Rusia. Important este să ajutăm Moldova pentru a ține piept acestei agresiuni”, a afirmat Nicușor Dan după reuniune. Șeful statului român a subliniat că declarația comună adoptată la finalul summitului menționează explicit Federația Rusă drept o amenințare pentru securitatea regională și reafirmă sprijinul acordat Ucrainei. *** Restricții de circulație astăzi și mâine în centrul Chișinăului, pentru a permite desfășurarea sesiunii ministeriale de două zile a Comitetului de Miniștri al Consiliului Europei. Peste 50 de delegații, inclusiv 20 de miniștri ai afacerilor externe, participă la evenimentul găzduit de Republica Moldova cu ocazia încheierii președinției prin rotație a Consiliului Europei. Pe agenda reuniunii de la Chișinău – sprijinul pentru Ucraina, combaterea dezinformării și a ingerințelor străine, consolidarea securității și întărirea rezilienței democratice în țările membre. Vineri, la finalul evenimentului, Chișinăul transmite președinția prin rotație a CE către Principatul Monaco. *** O dronă rusească de tip Shahed a fost filmată ieri survolând orașul Bălți. Ministerul Apărării a anunțat că drona a intrat pe teritoriul țării la ora 16:00 din regiunea Vinița din Ucraina. Drona rusească a survolat Republica Moldova timp de o oră, de la nord la sud. Spațiul aerian al Republicii Moldova a fost închis imediat ce autoritățile au detectat drona. Incidentul s-a produs în contextul atacului masiv cu drone al Federației Ruse asupra Ucrainei. Jurnalistul Alexandru Cozer a semnalat faptul că un avion cu 200 de pasageri la bord, care intrase deja în spațiul aerian național, a trecut la doar câțiva kilometri de drona rusească, înainte de a ateriza la Chișinău. Este cel mai periculos incident de până acum cu implicarea dronelor rusești în Republica Moldova. Autoritățile îndeamnă populația să respecte măsurile de securitate, să nu atingă eventuale obiecte suspecte găsite la sol și să anunțe orice incident la 112. *** Republica Moldova va beneficia de 60 de milioane de euro pentru modernizarea infrastructurii de irigare și extinderea accesului fermierilor la apă pentru irigare. Pachetul financiar include un credit de 45 de milioane de euro, acordat de Agenția Franceză de Dezvoltare, și un grant de 15 milioane de euro, oferit de Uniunea Europeană, anunță un comunicat al Guvenrului moldovean. În cadrul programului, vor fi reabilitate sistemele centralizate de irigare Criulenii de Sus și Călinești. După finalizarea lucrărilor, circa 365 de deținători de terenuri agricole vor avea acces la surse de apă pentru irigare, pe o suprafață de peste 3000 de hectare. Programul prevede și dezvoltarea irigațiilor la scară mică. În acest scop, vor fi construite bazine de acumulare a apei pentru irigare, care vor ajuta producătorii agricoli mici și mijlocii să capteze, să stocheze și să utilizeze apa în perioadele cu deficit de precipitații. Se estimează că, pe terenurile deservite de sistemele reabilitate, producția agricolă ar putea crește cu cel puțin 50% față de media ultimilor 10 ani.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 11. They react to the return of the bracket format and why it pushes queens to come in fighting harder from the start. The queens take on a group dance challenge and write verses. Bob and Monét also question whether queens use ghostwriters for their verses and why some contestants are performing in flats. They ask if Mystique is fully invested in the competition, whether she's still holding a grudge against Morgan, and if Morphine is returning fully delusional. On the “La Toya's R Us” runway, they break down the looks, discuss Dawn bringing padding back, and Bob reestablishes what nude illusion is actually supposed to look like. Plus, Bob and Monét put their own spin on Mystique's verse.

The Viking Age saw a significant transition from small-scale raiding to large-scale military conquest and permanent settlement. A massive raid on Paris yielded seven thousand pounds of gold, highlighting the Vikings' effectiveness as raiders during the decline of the Carolingian Empire. In 865 AD, what is known as the "Great Heathen Army" arrived in England, functioning as mobile war bands that used waterways to launch surprise attacks on various kingdoms. This invasion successfully toppled kingdoms such as East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia, leaving only Wessex to hold out under King Alfred the Great. Following a stalemate between Alfred and the Norse leader Guthrum, an agreement was reached that established the Danelaw, a vast region where the Norse exerted political and legal control. This period of settlement is evidenced today by a linguistic imprint in English place names reflecting Old Norse influence, showing that the Norse lived alongside existing populations on their newly acquired farms. Simultaneously, the "Rus" or rowers expanded eastward from modern-day Sweden and Finland, navigating the great rivers of Eurasia. Led by Rurik, they settled in Novgorod in 862 AD, marking a major starting point for the Norse diaspora's reach into Eastern Europe. 2/81649

Eleanor Barraclough details the evolution of the Vikings from raiders to conquerors and settlers who established vast territories. Following a massive raid on Paris that yielded 7,000 pounds of gold, the "Great Heathen Army" invaded England in 865 AD, creating the Danelaw where Norse law and place names left a permanent linguistic imprint. Simultaneously, the "Rus" expanded eastward, navigating Eurasian rivers to settle Novgorod by 862 AD, demonstrating the dual-facing nature of the Norse diaspora. (2)

„Nacismus byl německý fenomén a v určitém historickém období drtivá většina toho národa stála za nacismem. Nedá se říct hodní Němci a zlí nacisté. V českém prostředí se ale zdůrazňuje, že jsou tu Němci a jsou tu nacisté, zatímco u Rusů je to nějak geneticky podmíněno,“ říká politolog Petr Drulák v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 2. díl, 19.04.2026, www.RadioUniversum.cz

What do a Napa Valley farm, Stanford University frat life, Fortune 500 boardrooms, and the Ojai stage have in common?Clay Creasey.In this wide-ranging and unexpectedly fun conversation, Clay traces his journey from early mornings on the farm to high-stakes corporate finance, navigating takeovers, turnarounds, and the slow, relentless shift of retail in the age of Amazon. Along the way, we dig into how he thinks about risk, decision-making, and the difference between problems you can fix — and forces you can't.But this isn't just a business story. It's about reinvention. About landing in Ojai, stepping onto the stage as Daddy Warbucks in Annie, and finding community in a completely different key.We talked about corporate successes such as his time as CFO of Toys 'R Us, and a few failure that left lasting lessons. We did not talk about soil Ph for growing blueberries, Canadian provincial politics or Nelson Mandela.Smart, candid, and full of great stories — this one covers a lot of ground.

Stanje na najemniškem trgu je kaotično. Iskalci stanovanja morajo predložiti celo življenjepis, lastniki zahtevajo vpogled v plačilne liste, pogodbo o zaposlitvi, dovoljenje za bivanje itd. Kajenje je absolutno prepovedano, domače živali večinoma niso zaželene, prav tako ne otroci. Oddajajo se celo za bivanje povsem neprimerni prostori, kot so predelane garaže, kleti, kontejnerji. Cene sledijo rasti cen nepremičnin, ki so v zadnjem tromesečju lanskega leta zabeležile najvišjo rast v EU. Najemnine so se v zadnjih desetih letih povprečno povišale za 74 odstotkov. Po podatkih SURS je lani več kot 31.000 najemnikov za stanovanjske stroške odštelo več kot 40 odstotkov celotnega razpoložljivega dohodka v gospodinjstvu. 23 odstotkov jih je živelo v stanovanjih v slabem stanju, 9 odstotkov jih ni imelo primernega ogrevanja. Preverili smo, kako brutalen je postal najemni trg, še posebej v Ljubljani. Ob starejši najemnici s tremi odraslimi hčerkami, ki so prav tako v najemu in pravi, da je danes najti stanovanje hujše kot loto, so sogovorniki: Goran Lukić, Delavska svetovalnica Vesna Levstek, direktorica družbe Nepremičnine Plus Urška Loboda, nepremičninska agentka  Ronja, Ambasada Rog Boštjan Rus, glavni inšpektor Inšpektorata za stanovanje in dolgotrajno oskrbo Lana Krznarič, PIC

Ukrajině se podle vrchního velitele armády generála Oleksandra Syrského daří získávat zpět území a způsobovat Rusům rekordní ztráty, zejména zásluhou dronů. „Rusové se budou dál tlačit dopředu, ale Ukrajincům se podařilo vytvořit zónu smrti, přes kterou bude velmi složité projít,“ předpokládá v Interview Plus analytik Adam Sybera z ukrajinského deníku Kyiv Independent.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Project Hail Mary Absolutely Nails the Landing This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl dive into the Season 4 return of Invincible, check in on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, and review Project Hail Mary. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Monarch: 5:32 Invincible: 11:37 Project Hail Mary: 33:04 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (AppleTV) Season 2, Episode 4 Title: Trespass Air date: March 20, 2026  Director: Hiromi Kamata  Writer: Al Letson  Summary: In 2017, Titan X awakens another swarm of Scarabs in American Samoa, which kill two surfers, and destroys a Monarch patrol boat. On Outpost 18, Trissop and Tim detect Titan X on Apex’s new sonar tracking system, which indicates that it is heading towards San Francisco. Kentaro, Hiroshi, Keiko and Shaw meet up with May in Pensacola, Florida, where they plan to steal Hiroshi’s Titan lure back from Apex. In San Francisco, an evacuation is declared, while Cate meets one of the students who she saved on G-Day. She has a change of heart, and decides to return to Monarch. Trissop’s team leave Outpost 18 as Tim’s team and the Pacific Fleet prepare to intercept Titan X, but the signal on Apex’s tracking system turns out to be a whale. In Pensacola, the others infiltrate Apex’s headquarters and discover that Apex have been smuggling creatures off of Skull Island, including Leafwings, Needlewalkers, and Vinestranglers. Brenda shows May that Apex have developed neural implants to modify animal behavior, which she demonstrates using a Leafwing, and explains that they want to use the same technology to pacify the Titans. Shaw and Kentaro release the Needlewalkers to cause a distraction, allowing Hiroshi and Keiko to find the lure, but it has been dismantled. Fortunately, they also discover that Apex have some of Bill’s old files, including his map of Titan X’s migratory route, which allows them to predict its next destination as Santa Soledad. May chooses to stay with Apex, but the others escape and reunite with Cate. However, Hiroshi finds Keiko’s letter to Shaw in Bill’s files. Featured cast: Anna Sawai as Cate Randa, Kiersey Clemons as May, Ren Watabe as Kentaro Randa, Mari Yamamoto as Keiko Miura, Joe Tippett as Tim, Takehiro Hira as Hiroshi Randa, and Kurt Russell / Wyatt Russell as Lee Shaw.

Cecil appoints Brit as leader of the Guardians and brings the Teen Team back. Mark meets Dinosaurus, a powerful being he nearly kills despite learning the creature’s human host lacks control in his transformed state. Mark and Eve have a difficult dinner with Eve’s parents. Meanwhile, the Sequids prepare another invasion, and an alien named Universa arrives on Earth, draining energy from a power plant to save her people. Mark and Eve intercept her, and Eve struggles as her powers become unstable during the fight, but Universa is eventually defeated. The Guardians confront the Sequid threat, and with Mark’s help, they save all infected civilians using new technology, though Mark kills Rus Livingston, the final host, to end the danger. Elsewhere, Conquest escapes captivity and leaves Earth. Featured cast: Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson, J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man, Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson, Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve, Walton Goggins as Cecil, Max Burkholder as Oliver, Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien, with season additions including Matthew Rhys as Dinosaurus and Danai Gurira as Universa.  Season 4, Episode 2 Title: I'll Give You the Grand Tour Air date: March 18, 2026  Director: Jason Zurek  Writer: Simon Racioppa  Summary: On the way to Talescria, Nolan tells Allen about his harsh Viltrumite upbringing, where he trained young cadets and endured a brutal trial against his parents to prove his adulthood. Soon after, the Scourge virus devastated the Viltrumites, killing billions, including his parents. The Grand Regent imposed a quarantine, sealed the planet, and ordered the extermination of all alien slaves who knew of the outbreak. The few survivors began seeking compatible species across the galaxy to preserve their race. On Talescria, Thaedus reveals he is the Betrayer who killed Emperor Argall. Using Nolan’s knowledge, the Coalition gathers weapons and allies like Space Racer and the Sinlak beetles. Thaedus later admits he created the Scourge virus and has an improved version. Though angered, Nolan agrees to recruit his son after Thaedus promises it will be a last resort. Meanwhile, Conquest returns to Viltrum and reports his failure to Grant Regent Thragg. Featured cast: Steven Yeun, J.K. Simmons, Seth Rogen, Peter Cullen as Thaedus, Winston Duke as Space Racer, and Lee Pace as Thragg.  Season 4, Episode 3 Title: I Gotta Get Some Air Air date: March 18, 2026  Director: Stephanie Gonzaga  Writer: Ross Stracke  Summary: Machine Head tells Titan that Mister Liu survived and is pursuing them. Titan is attacked by Liu’s assassin Magnattack but kills him. Mark struggles with killing Rus, while Eve loses control of her powers. Robot expels a Sequid, which Monster Girl destroys, leading them to wonder whether Mark was right. Titan asks Invincible for help, but Mark and Eve send Oliver instead. Eve seeks guidance from Robot. Meanwhile, the Flaxans return and attack Earth, and Mark joins the Guardians in response. Oliver and Titan confront Liu, while Robot and Monster Girl enter the Flaxan dimension to destroy their anti-aging technology, discovering a highly advanced civilization that threatens humanity. Before others can follow, the portal is closed, trapping them. Mark later helps Oliver fight Liu, forcing him to retreat. Misinterpreting Titan’s actions, Mark attacks him until Oliver stops him.

They confront Volcanikka, who defeats Satan, but Mark overpowers her and forces her to retreat. Satan keeps the Vile imprisoned and sends Mark and Darkblood back to Earth. Eve tells William about her pregnancy, while Debbie plans to move in with Paul. As Eve prepares to tell Mark about the pregnancy, Nolan and Allen arrive. Meanwhile, Satan secretly orders Darkblood to investigate Volcanikka’s motives and considers going to the surface.The episode is also notable for using material created specifically for the show rather than directly adapting the comic. Featured cast: Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson, J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man, Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson, and Brandon Scott Jones as William Clockwell. Rating Out of 5 What the Actual Fuck Was This Brian: .01/5 Darryl: 1/5 Project Hail Mary (2026) Release Date: March 20, 2026 Runtime: 156 minutes Director: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Writer: Drew Goddard Based On: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Studios: Lord Miller Productions, Pascal Pictures, Open Invite Films, and Waypoint Entertainment Distributor: Amazon MGM Studios (U.S. and Canada), Sony Pictures Releasing International (international) Summary: Ryland Grace wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or why he is there, only to slowly realize he has been sent on a desperate mission to save Earth from an extinction-level threat. What starts as a survival mystery turns into a science-heavy, emotionally warm space adventure built around problem-solving, sacrifice, and an unexpected interstellar friendship. Main Cast: Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt James Ortiz as Rocky Lionel Boyce as Carl Milana Vayntrub as Olesya Ilyukhina Ken Leung as Yao Priya Kansara as Mary Bastian Antonio Fuentes as Parker Production Notes: The film was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted by Drew Goddard, who also wrote The Martian, giving this one a similar mix of hard-science problem solving, humor, and crowd-pleasing momentum. Production shot in the United Kingdom, with principal photography running from June through October 2024, centered at Shepperton Studios. The movie's cinematography was handled by Greig Fraser, with editing by Chris Dickens and Joel Negron, and music by Daniel Pemberton. One of the big talking points around the movie is how heavily it leans on practical filmmaking. Lord and Miller said the production avoided green screens on set, relying instead on built environments, controlled lighting, puppetry, and VFX enhancement later. Rocky was brought to life through a combination of puppetry, animatronics, and digital effects, with James Ortiz both performing and voicing the character. The approach clearly connected with audiences. The film opened to about $80.6 million domestic and roughly $141 million worldwide, making it Amazon MGM's biggest opening and the biggest opening weekend of 2026 so far. It was also produced at blockbuster scale, with reporting placing the budget around $200 million net.

I politika má své cykly. Po uvolnění politických poměrů vesměs následuje utahování šroubů. Éry liberalizace jsou vystřídány obdobím zvýšené státní kontroly. Jeden takový sešup zažíváme nyní. V posledním podcastu se to pokoušíme demonstrovat na několika vládních zákonech.Nade vším stojí zákon o registraci subjektů se zahraničními vazbami, který nese všechny znaky obdobného Putinova zákona z roku 2012. Ruský prezident tento zákon přijal v přímé reakci na demonstrace ruské veřejnosti v letech 2011/12, které kritizovaly zmanipulované volby a návrat jeho osoby do prezidentské funkce. Zákon ve své filozofii vychází z jednoho proudu ruských dějin, chápajícího Západ jako zdroj zkaženosti a úpadku. Proto je veškerá podpora ze Západu v duchu této logiky chápána jako pokus zničit „matičku Rus“.Co s touto protizápadní obsesí má společného Česká republika, která většinu svých dějin byla tím Západem, nebo přinejmenším jeho dynamicky se rozvíjející periferií? Proč se připojujeme k zemím jako Maďarsko, Slovensko, Gruzie nebo Kyrgyzstán, které zákony o „zahraničních agentech“ chtějí zastrašit společnost navázanou na mezinárodní svět?Nejde o peníze českých daňových poplatníků, jak o tom mluví Andrej Babiš. Jde o kontrolu a buzeraci lidí, což se – paradoxně – vede v duchu boje za svobodu slova. Rusko přitom minimálně od roku 2012 vede subverzivní boj proti téhle republice a podporuje a platí řadu dezinformačních kanálů. To je optika celé téhle vlády – mráz nepřichází z Kremlu, ale z Bruselu.

After a bit of a hiatus, the Knights are back at the table. In this return episode of The Knights of Vader Podcast, we catch up on everything that's been happening in the galaxy far, far away while we were gone. The big topic this episode is the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie, as we break down the latest news, rumors, and what it could mean for the future of Star Wars on the big screen. We also step outside the Star Wars universe for a bit to talk about Avatar 3: the greatest film of the decade. It's a laid-back return episode filled with speculation, fandom talk, and a Knights-style roundup of the biggest sci-fi news. ⚔️

OK so "Vikings in Cyprus" is a bit hyperbolic as the term Viking tends to suggest pre-Christian marauding warriors who pillaged and plundered all over Europe -- which Cyprus didn't experience. But Scandinavians? Most certainly! Over the past couple of months, I have been scouring the sources for references to Scandinavians and their presence in Cyprus. So far, I have identified four key witnesses to this phenomenon, all from different parts of the Scandinavian world. Chronologically they are: The Danish cleric Saxo Grammaticus, who first writes of King Erik the Evergood of Denmark's death and burial on Cyprus while travelling to the Holy Land (circa 1103); The Icelandic abbot Nikulas Bergsson, who records the presence of a contingent of the Varangian Guard* stationed in Paphos; King Sigurd the Crusader of Norway who stayed on Cyprus for sometime (c. 1107) before visiting Miklagaard ("The Great City," i.e., Constantinople), as recounted by the famous Icelandic writer Snorri Sturluson; and finally St. Birgitta of Sweden, whose foreboding words to the Latin rulers of Cyprus come to us directly from her own testimony (14th century). Together, their works offer rare but compelling evidence that Cyprus was not merely a distant waypoint, but a meaningful hinge between the West and the East within the wider world of medieval Scandinavian travel, devotion, and crusading activity. Please enjoy this bonus content of the dramatized excerpts (excerpts from all four have been included here in one extended Primary Source recording). Though I'd love to have a guest on the show to talk about the relationship between Scandinavia and Cyprus, I don't believe this has been explored in academia as I have not found any published paper. But the search continues! **Famed for their loyalty and ferocity, the Varangian Guard was a contingent of Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon and Rus mercenaries that served as a personal guard to the Emperor in Constantinople.

„Kdykoli USA jednají rozhodně, světoví zločinci slábnou. Toto pochopení musí dojít i k Rusům,“ řekl ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj ke konfliktu na Blízkém východě. Americko-izraelské údery na Írán podporuje, protože považuje íránský režim za spojence Ruska. A uvedl, že Kyjev je připraven vyslat své specialisty na obranu proti dronům. „Zelenskyj teď vyvine velké úsilí, aby Ukrajina nesešla z očí,“ vysvětluje v Osobnosti Plus historik a ukrajinista David Svoboda.

While the crusades raged across the Holy Land in the southern Levant, the kingdoms of central and northern Europe were engaged in their own battle to extend Christendom. Speaking to James Osborne, Aleks Pluskowski details how and when the Baltic crusades – or Northern crusades – began, and examines their links to the broader crusading culture of the Middle Ages. ----- GO BEYOND THE PODCAST To learn more about the medieval history of central and eastern Europe, listen to our episode on the role of the Rus people in the formation of the lands that are now Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia: https://bit.ly/4k7dF68 Learn more about your ad choices.

CONQUEST, THE DANELAW, AND THE EASTERN RUS Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. The conversation shifts from raiding to conquest, detailing the arrival of the "Great Heathen Army" in England around 865. Barracloughexplains that this force was likely comprised of smaller mobile warbands that eventually reached a stalemate with King Alfred, leading to the creation of the Danelaw and lasting linguistic influences on English place names. The discussion then moves east to the "Rus" (rowers) who navigated the waterways of Eurasia. Led by figures like Rurik, these Scandinavians settled in Novgorod and later Kiev, establishing a political foundation in what is now Russia and Ukraine. NUMBER 2
