In a continuation of Saturday's discussion with Paul Rahe, we delve into the Peloponnesian War after the Sicilian Expedition, as the Spartans take Persian gold to subdue their democratic rivals Athens. The war continues for a further nine years as the Athenians rise again after their Sicilian disaster, before ending in crushing defeat in 404BC. Paul then goes on to talk about current events and the importance of honour to states today, and of history to the health of society. Paul A.

In 415BC, the Athenian Empire, during a lull in the Peloponnesian War against the Spartans, voted to embark on a massive campaign to capture Syracuse. So began the Sicilian Expedition, which soon became a proxy war between Sparta and Athens, as the Spartans despatched just one man, the great general Gylippus, to assist the Syracusans. The war had been underway since 431 BC and would last until 404BC and end in total defeat for Athens with the loss of its empire. Joining today is Paul A. Rahe, a highly distinguished ancient historian the first in a two part discussion with him. Coming up next on Wednesday he discusses contemporary events, and how his understanding of the Peloponnesian war seeks to help policy makers in the United States as its supremacy is challenged by China.

Hail Yes! A Detroit Free Press Podcast About University of Michigan Sports
The Hail Yes crew was thrilled this week to welcome former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein to the show for the first time. Few, if any, can offer the level of insight on the Michigan basketball program that Beilein can, and coming off a clutch late win over Penn State, it was the perfect time to sit down with the former coach.

Then, Tony ask John about how he was able to build such a sustainable program and what principles Dusty May can use to return the Wolverines to a year in, year out winner. Plus, Beilein talks about the Big Ten race at large and how the Spartans and Wolverines (the best rivalry in the sport, according to him) could be in for a fight to the finish this regular season. This is a fantastic episode of Hail Yes that you just can't miss. Read all about the Michigan Wolverines, including some great pieces by Tony and Rainer, by heading to our website at freep.com/sports.
Eli Sussman grew up in the Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods. After graduating from Berkley High School, MSU's James Madison College felt like a natural next step. “One of the great things about James Madison is that the classes are small, and the conversation is lively,” says Sussman. “I thrived in that atmosphere.” Perhaps that's because lively conversation has always been part of his life. Family was important in the Sussman house, and eating dinner together was a central component in the lives of his large circle. Sussman says it was a long journey from an interest in politics to an interest in food. He always had cooking jobs to make money and worked at Lou and Harry's in East Lansing as a line cook. “I loved it,” he says. “It was so fun because there was great comradery. It was a hard job, but it spoke to me. The fire was lit at Lou and Harry's.” After graduation and a study abroad experience at a music management and public relations firm in London, Sussman put this burgeoning interest in cooking aside and moved to Los Angeles to work in the music industry for five years. “I was enjoying cooking on the weekends more than I was enjoying the weekdays at my desk,” he says. “At the time, the music business was transitioning away from CDs to digital downloads, and my brother, who was a chef in New York City, said to me ‘just come here and try it. You can always return to the music industry if you decide you don't like cooking.' “I started back at the beginning and became a prep line cook. I knew instantaneously that I had made the right decision and that I would never return to the music industry.” Sussman's latest project is a neighborhood bistro in Prospect Heights Brooklyn called Gertrude's that features Jewish and French influences. Eli's 7-layer kosher chocolate cake, inspired by the Jewish bakeries around Metro Detroit that he loved growing up, took on “a life of its own.” It was selected as one of The New York Times Top 8 Dishes of 2023 by food critic Pete Wells. “It's a nice way to tie my Michigan roots to a New York restaurant.” In addition to going viral with his chocolate cake, Sussman now hosts the popular “Talkinin the WalkIn,” a video series in which Sussman interviews chefs in a restaurant's walk-in fridge. “The optimal place in the restaurant where people go to hide or get away is the walk-in,” he says. “This is where the meat and potatoes of your thinking happens. The setting tends to lead to compelling conversations.” Sussman encourages today's students to “be open to the idea that maybe the first thing you've chosen doesn't have to be the be-all end-all. You have many opportunities to reinvent yourself and start over. Focus on what excites you now. And if you don't know what that is yet, that's OK.” Soon,Sussman will have a presence in Michigan in the form of Italian-American cuisine. Alo's, a joint venture with his brother, is slated for 2025 opening in Ann Arbor. “Even though I haven't lived in Michigan since I was 18, I am a major advocate for Michigan; it's a huge part of my identity,” he says. “People sleep on how wonderful Michigan is as a produce state—we have incredible farms. My brother and I are really excited about using our restaurant to showcase that Michigan produce is the best in America.” Conversation Highlights: (0:43) – Eli on growing up in suburban Detroit and why he chose MSU for college. (2:31) – Describe your journey from politics to the music industry to the culinary world. And how did your study abroad experience play into the process? (9:01) – How and when do you dive into the food world in New York City? (13:03) – How did your MSU and James Madison College experience impact you? (18:39) – How would you describe the fare you enjoy cooking for people to enjoy at Gertrude's? (21:18) – What is Talkin in the Walkin, and how did it come about? Why is cooking like being in college? (25:35) – Why do you enjoy “punching up” at the Michelin culture that exists in parts of the hospitality industry? (28:07) – What's your advice for students today regardless of what they want to do? What two major mistakes do you feel you made? (30:48) – What motivates you and gets you up and going every day? (32:44) – Tell us about your plans to open a restaurant in Ann Arbor.

Conquering the Carnal Man (audio) David Eells – 1/15/25 Keep in mind that conquering the old man primarily involves using the sword of the spirit against his ruling demons. The Battle to Take the Land R.S.- 08/14/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a dungeon in the center of a castle that I knew to be the enemies' There were about 8 to 10 other people there locked up with me. All of a sudden it was like an unseen being opened the door to the dungeon who gave us all swords. (These Josephs are in prison in Egypt, in bondage to the old man, awaiting their release to dominion authority to rule over the wicked.) The sword I was given was a long two-edged sword that took two hands to wield. (Heb.4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.) We immediately began to fight our way out of the dungeon through the hallways and up the stairs of the castle. (We use the Word to conquer the old man and the spirits that empower him. Eph.6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].) I saw what seemed to be endless amounts of enemy troops that continued to attack us all the way out of the castle. It seemed like we fought nonstop until we got outside of the castle walls. I began to notice by this point that we had all gotten a lot better at swinging our swords and we were able to take on more and more enemies at a time. Lev.26:7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. 14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments... 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. I also noticed that we all fought close together in a group, in a circle sometimes when we were in open areas as if to defend each other's backs so the enemy could not sneak in behind us. (We must pray for one another constantly to strengthen one another so others may strengthen us. 1Th.1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers; 1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father. 1Ti.2:1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men. 1Th.5:17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. Joh.16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full. Jas.4:2 ... ye have not, because ye ask not.) When we got out of the castle there was a large field (overcoming the world) that we had to cross which led to a big river that flowed past the other end of it. As we fought our way to the river (of life in the Word), we looked up ahead and I saw a dock with a ship tied to it. I somehow knew at this point that our castle was miles upstream from where we were and that we needed to get aboard that ship and sail upstream to our castle. (We always go contrary to the direction of the world.) We fought our way onto the ship and overtook it and began to sail upstream. I thought about everything that we had already gone through, and it was hard to imagine how we had been able to make it this far against so many enemies with there being so few of us. Jos.23:8 but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day. 9 For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day. 10 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you. 11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God. 12 Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you; 13 know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.) It seemed as if we had been fighting for a very long time, but we knew that there were going to be a lot more battles up ahead. We were all very sober at this point. We knew that the enemy was very mad that we had escaped and that they were going to send a large army after us to defeat us. (Pharaoh's army came to bring Israel back into captivity to serve them.) So we sailed upstream until we made it to our castle and we were greeted by more of our friends who were excited to see us. We told them about everything we had been through. Now we all began to make plans to defend against what we knew was to be a major attack from the enemy. I noticed that our entire army, even with the eight or ten of us who just got there, only consisted of about 50 men. For some reason, I didn't think that numbers were much of a factor at this point. Our plans did not only involve defending our castle, but also attacking the enemy's castle. (We must take the battle to the enemy constantly and not just wait until he hits us unawares. Fight for his ground instead of yours. 2Co.10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.) The final plan was that we would defend the best we could, but if the enemy began to push us back we would fall back to a little tunnel at the far rear of our castle that led to the river where we had a few ships that we could get on if we had to. (If we plan to fall back we will, but we must plan to stand. Eph.6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.) Almost immediately after we had finished making our plans we looked up at the river in front of the castle and I saw the entire river filled with hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of enemy troops unloading on the beach. They filled the entire field in front of the castle. (But they that are with us are more than they that are against us. Mat.26:53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? Luk.8:30 And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him. 31 And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss... 33 And the demons came out from the man...) Once the entire field was full, they attacked all at once and the battle began. There were so many of them; they were pouring over the walls from all directions and we began to fall back towards the tunnel. Now the tunnel was only about 15 feet wide so we were able to hold back the enemy pretty well once we got there. We decided to send about 40 of our guys to go ahead on one of the ships to attack the enemy's castle (more should be attacking the enemy than defending our ground) while the other 10 guys and I stayed back to keep fighting the enemy who were in our castle. This may sound like crazy thinking with such ridiculous odds against us but we all agreed that it was the best decision to make at the time because we could only have a few of us fight at a time in the little tunnel. The ship left and the 10 of us who stayed back continued fighting in the little tunnel. Now the fight went on for what felt like hours. But I noticed that the longer I fought the faster I kept getting with the sword. We all got so good with the swords that we were able to push the enemy farther and farther back. I began to feel like there was nothing the enemy could do to stop us. (Confidence comes from practice and victories. 1Ti.6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.) Then someone behind me said that soon the enemy would send one of their best guys against me and that he would be hard to beat. I could not imagine that they had someone that could be much of a challenge, being that by this point I was taking on dozens of enemies at a time. Not long after saying this, the enemy stopped attacking and backed up about 50 feet or so. This huge guy covered with massive armor and all kinds of different weapons on him stepped forward. (The giant in the land, self; Goliath, who was felled with thoughts and words.) We began to fight right away. I noticed that he was at least as fast as I was at swinging his sword and every time I thought I had found a weakness in him, it seemed like he had the right weapon to counter whatever I did. (The flesh is trained to resist the thoughts and Words of the Spirit.) This fight went on for what seemed like about one hour. After a while I began to realize that I could swing my sword at the speed of thought. Once I realized this I quickly got to where I could move my whole body, arms and sword at lightning fast speed by simply thinking it. (It is not a war of fleshly ability but of the thoughts and Words of God.) Once this happened I destroyed my foe almost instantly, chopping him into pieces. I was amazed at what had just happened and felt like there was nothing the enemy could do to stop us now. I then heard another voice behind me say that now they would send their two very best and most powerful guys to attack me and that even though I could swing my sword at lightning speed it wouldn't be enough to beat them. Again I couldn't think of how they had anyone who would be able to stand up against us now, but sure enough, almost immediately I saw two guys come forward and they began to walk toward me. At first glance, I looked at them and they didn't really seem like much of a threat because they didn't have any armor on and if anything they were dressed in kind of fancy clothes. They had no shield either, just a little sword almost the size of a knife. When they reached me I instantly took my sword and knocked both of their swords out of their hands. Now they had nothing to fight with so I was really wondering what they were going to be able to do since they had no weapons. I cut one of them in half at the waist but as my sword went through him it was like his body just sealed himself right back together and there was just a faint line that showed where I had cut him. This puzzled me for a moment but I quickly went and attacked again and this time cut both of them into about five or six pieces, but the same thing happened again -- all of their wounds just seemed to instantly seal up again. They continued walking toward me at a steady pace. I was not sure what to do next. The only thing that I could think of doing was maybe if I chopped them up fast enough and into enough pieces, they could be beaten. So I swung my sword as fast as I could at lightning speed and literally in a matter of about two or three seconds, I chopped both of them into thousands of little pieces about the size of the tip of my pinky, but the same thing happened. All the little pieces of them just kept holding together. I could still see all the cut marks all over them. I didn't know what else I could do so I just kept on swinging my sword as they kept walking toward me until they backed me up to our end of the tunnel and as they were about to get out on our side I heard a voice behind me say that those two guys could only be killed with fire. It was like at that moment I realized I could command fire to destroy them. (The enemy changes tactics so that we have to depend on the Lord's guidance constantly and not the methods of the past. In this way we are speaking the current Word of the Lord and not relying on the dead letter. When the flesh is burned up in the fiery trial we win.) So I put my sword up for a moment and I rebuked them and a fireball came out of me and instantly consumed both of them. Once they were consumed, I with the other 10 guys who were behind me, ran full speed at the rest of the enemy who were in the tunnel and destroyed everyone in our path until we got all the way to the other end. Moving in unnatural speed we destroyed every one of them who had been sent to attack us until our castle and land were completely rid of them. (When the enemy's influence is gone from our own camp, then we are truly a terror to him, as it was with Jesus and His apostles.) We then got on a ship and sailed downstream to the castle of the enemy where our other friends who had gone ahead of us, were fighting a major battle with the enemy. We joined up with them and we all fought together until the entire enemy was destroyed and we had conquered their castle. Why is there not the great wisdom and authority to conquer the enemies now? When the men of Israel were beaten and fled before the men of Ai and the hearts of the people melted, the problem was found to be one man's hidden sin in the midst of the camp. He was guilty of the blood of those who died because Israel found no power against their enemies because of his sin. Jos.7:7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan! 8 Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do for thy great name? 10 And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also; and they have even put it among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you. 13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is a devoted thing in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the devoted thing from among you. Verse ...20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 21 when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. As we see, one problem was personal greed, as with Ananias and Sapphira, who cared not for the Christian community spirit but hoarded for themselves. As we see, the money was to be devoted to the Lord. 1Ti.6:5 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain: 7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. 9 But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. Also we see that hiding a Babylonish garment will rob the power necessary to defeat the enemies. This garment represents secretly putting on the works of that which pertains to apostasy and sin. Are there hidden sins in your life? You will weaken your faith and the faith and hands of those around you to conquer the enemies. Their loss and destruction will be your fault. Achan and his family were stoned to death for his hidden sins. Mat.10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 1Co.4:5 Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. 2Co.4:2 but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. Pro.28:13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. Confess your sins to righteous brethren and have them pray for you. Jas.5:16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. War to Put Off the Old Man and Beast Peter K. - 2/11/08 (David's notes in red) The dream takes place on a battlefield and it is gloomy (there is no sunlight). (The field is the world in all its darkness.) I shouldn't even call it a field since the area of battle was quite small and it appeared that it was in a dungeon of some sort. (We were in bondage to the man of flesh like Israel in Egypt.) I was dressed in a Spartan's uniform (he represents the saints' battle in the body of the old man), similar to the uniform in the movie ‘300' with the red cape or cloak (representing sin). There were many other Spartans surrounding me. It appeared that Spartans were warring against other Spartans. (The body of the beast will make war on the body of Christ. Both are in a body of flesh. 2Co.10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.) The battle had not begun yet but we were all in position for battle. (We are coming to the tribulation war between these two.) Another Spartan and I were positioned beside the king or general of our army. The king (who was elevated on something which may have been a chariot) was holding a spear and in the distance across from him, there was an enemy Spartan sitting on a horse. The battle begins. Immediately on the right, the enemy attacked thrusting his sword by me and killing my king, who threw his spear and killed the Spartan on the horse. (First, we get the revelation that Jesus died to conquer the old man and his spirits, including their head, the devil.) At first, it appeared that I was the target but miraculously it missed me and killed the king instead. (We deserved to be the target but Jesus took the blows as in Isaiah 53.) I was frightened and confused, not knowing what to do or where to go. I began to charge into battle with my sword in a state of weakness, still in fear, clueless, and unskillful in war. We all had swords (representing words), but mine may have appeared larger. I would swing my sword without any strength or power, cutting some enemies, but not injuring any as I had expected. I believe the sword could have been heavy, but I am certain it was because I was weak. (‘The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak'. ‘My power is made perfect in weakness'.) As the battle continued, a number of miraculous things happened and nothing could harm me. Praise the Lord! The enemy (opposing Spartans), one by one, were charging at me with their swords but before they could swing at me they cut their own throats. (Psa.37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken. Like Judas who hung himself with his own hands.) This happened a couple of times and with some, after they had cut their throats, I would either jab them or dodge them and continue in battle. Other Spartans would thrust their sword at me but I would get ahold of the blade with my bare hand, bend it like plastic, and jab my sword in their back. As the battle proceeded and enemies were being defeated, I was also able to swing my sword with strength. (“When I am weak, then am I strong.”) As these miraculous things were happening, I became confident, stronger, and courageous with no sense of fear in me. I felt like a helpless child at the beginning of the battle, but now I felt like a champion soldier. I must have been maturing. In one instance, a couple of young men, dressed in modern apparel, came out of some form of shelter which was among the battle turf. Maybe it was a small cabin, but I couldn't identify what it was. As I had momentum built up, I stabbed one in the eye with my sword and settled in his head. He said, ‘I'm a Christian,' and the other I sliced, not knowing what happened afterward. (In our youthful exuberance we sometimes ignorantly battle with Christians and wound them, instead of encouraging them and giving them the “sword of the Spirit”, not realizing we have done this.) When he had spoken this, I pulled my sword out of his eye socket and continued on my way as he continued with his. Again, at the end of the battle I became skillful, stronger, and courageous. I was the only Spartan standing without a scratch on my body. I proceeded to my right and entered what seemed to be a market or warehouse with rows of racks of textiles or garments. They appeared to be white. (It says in Rev.3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me (by losing our old life) gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.) By the end of the battle we will have given our lives to be dressed in righteous acts of the sanctified ones. Rev.19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright (Lampros) [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.) Now this market had light what appeared to be sunlight seeping in from somewhere or there was sunlight at the end of this market. It was quite bright compared to the previous scene of the battlefield. (The light was coming from the Lampros garments. 2Co.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory… 4:6 Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Verse 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.) Suddenly, I heard what sounded like yelling and laughing which wasn't very pleasant to me. I peeked down one of the rows and saw two or three little girls or children. (The spiritually immature leaders. Isa.3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths) They were wearing strange outfits and I think they could have been wearing masks. When I woke up, they reminded me of supervillains. (Joh.10:8 All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.) They seemed to be rowdy and rebellious. (Isa.30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin. Verse 9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah.) They were holding something, maybe a weapon, in their hands. I think they may have injured another child. (Mat.24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.) In fear and disturbance, I hid between the racks of textiles/garments and saw them quickly run by me and exit out of the way I came in. (Escaping the sons of perdition who will quickly depart from the way.) I proceeded to leave the market and go outside, stepping onto dessert sand. (Joining the children of Abraham, whom God said were “as the sands of the sea...”) It was extremely bright and the sunlight was beautiful. I looked up into the sun and it wouldn't harm my eyes (beholding the glory of the Son). It was a beautiful and glorious sunshine and I felt a sense of rest and peace. (Having entered into the rest through faith in the Son.) From what I remember, I wasn't wearing the Spartan uniform anymore (warfare accomplished) but I noticed I was wearing something different. (Clothing represents works. By the end of the tribulations, the saints will have put off the works of the old man and put on the works of the new man.) It could have been a breastplate (of righteousness) and I believe I was still holding my sword (the Word of God). I looked to my right and saw a mother and her child entering into a form of shelter. (The Man-child and Woman; the saints enter into the Arc; the Psalm 91 Passover of the secret place of the Most High.) It could have been a broken-down vehicle that they were entering into (humbleness). In the dream, I had the impression that they were poor and needy. (Jas.2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?) The dream ends. Peter's interpretation: When I woke up, I immediately began to meditate on the dream and acknowledged that it was the Lord's power and strength given throughout the battle. I asked the Lord for a word out of the Bible and I thanked Him. I got Psa.30:3 O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (The Lord sure kept me alive!) My finger landed on ‘thou hast kept me alive,' and it was highlighted in my Bible. Praise God! Then I decided to read the entire chapter and to my surprise, I found that it all applied to my dream. Psa.30:5 For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning. (At the beginning of battle it was dark and I was scared and weak. I had entered the sunlight or morning at the end.) 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. (Nothing could harm me after I had discovered that I was invincible and secured by the Lord.) 10 Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper. (The Lord was definitely my helper.) 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; (After the battle, I entered into a market of textiles or garments. Textiles are usually used to manufacture garments, therefore, going through this market or warehouse may have represented the process of sanctification or ‘putting on Christ.' At the end of the market, I was no longer wearing the cloak which was scarlet red; Isa.1:18 Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Furthermore, there was sonlight seeping into this textile market; 1Jn.1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. After exiting the market, I was in peace and rest. I had taken off the cloak and had put on peace and rest; I had been girded with ‘gladness.' I had put on the fruit of Christ. There are many other verses that indicate I had to ‘put on': Rom.13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts thereof. 1Co.15:54 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. And Eph.4:22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit; 23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. I asked the Lord for another word and got Pro.22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. (This represents our chastening Lord driving the foolishness out of us.) And I asked the Lord again for a further interpretation; my finger fell on Psa.146:7, but I continued to read further. Psa.146:7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; (He will deliver us from bondage to the old man and feed the spiritual man.) 8 Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; 9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. (He opened our eyes. We were once married to and fathered by this world and its god but now they are dead to us. We are adopted sons and married to our Lord.) In the sunlight (Walking in the light of the Son), The Lord preserved and protected the child and woman, which can be symbolized by the shelter that they had entered into. The king with the spear may have represented carnal wisdom and guidance, since a Spartan's king was the brain of operations. A spear was possessed by King Saul and he turned out to be disobedient and walking in flesh. When that king died, I had nothing to rely on but God. 2Co.12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. I believe this battle represented my life and those who will fight with me. As I have said above, I got stronger and matured during battle by the Lord's power. In Exodus, Moses fears and lacks confidence to approach Pharaoh, but the Lord reassures him that He will be with him. Exo.4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak. It's only further into the scriptures where Moses is transformed into someone with boldness and authority. The flesh is cut off from speaking as we walk in weakness and in faith. As the Lord cuts the throats of the flesh (as in the dream) from speaking, He brings us through sanctification.

Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Adam Minihan are reunited to intro Aeschylus, the Father of Greek Tragedy.Aeschylus (b. 525 BC) was a warrior, statesman, and the father of Greek tragedy. Born into nobility, he grew up in Athens during its pivotal transition from tyranny to democracy. Furthermore, he famously fought in the Battle of Marathon (490 BC), defending a nascent Western civilization against Persian invasion. Aeschylus died in 456 BC, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the foundation of Greek drama.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for more information.From our guide on the Oresteia:1. What is the Ionian Revolt?To understand Aeschylus, we must first understand the Greco-Persian War (c. 499 BC to 429). In sum, what is called the “First Persian Empire,” founded by Cyrus the Great around 550 BC, stretched from modern-day Iran, Asia Minor, modern day Israel, and Egypt. In Asia Minor, this Persian empire ruled over Hellenistic city-states. One may recall that Troy, a polis with both Hellenistic and eastern traits, was also located in Asia Minor. In 499 BC, the city-states rebelled against their Persian overlords with the support of Athens in what is known as the “Ionian Revolt.” The revolt failed and the Persians retained control of Asia Minor; however, King Darius of the Persian Empire believed Athens should be punished and elected to invade Greece. 2. What was the first invasion in the Greco-Persian Wars?The Ionian Revolt sparked the larger Greco-Persian Wars and led to King Darius' invasion of ancient Greece in 492 BC. Athens led the federation of city-states against the Persians, and Aeschylus fought for the Athenian army. Notably, Aeschylus and his brother both fought at the famous Battle of Marathon in 490 BC at which the first Persian invasion was defeated.[1] Aeschylus' brother, however, died in the conflict.[2] The Battle of Marathon is often held as a watershed moment in the birth of Western culture. The battle is also the namesake of running a marathon, as the legend has it that an Athenian runner ran the twenty-six miles from Marathon to Athens to tell them of the Athenian victory. 3. What was the second Persian invasion in the Greco-Persian Wars?Ten years later, a second Persian invasion was headed by King Darius' son, King Xerxes. This is the setting for the famous Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), in which the smaller Spartan force of approximately 7000 men under King Leonidas held off 120,000-300,000 Persian invaders. The word Thermopylae means “hot gates” and takes its name from the hot springs in that area—it is also fittingly one of the mythological entrances to Hades. After Thermopylae, the Athenians won a great naval battle against the Persians at Salamis in 480 BC. Notably, Aeschylus is said to have fought in this battle as well and wrote his play The Persians about the conflict. The Greeks, led by the Athenians and Spartans, would eventually expel the Persians and bring peace in 449 BC. 4. What do we know about Aeschylus' writings?Aeschylus is...

In 480BC, the Spartans secured their place in history when 300 of their soldiers fought to the death against the mighty Persian army at Thermopylae. Their reputation for brutal decisiveness and simple living have been admired for thousands of years. But what about the darker side of Spartan ideology, a society that culled weak babies, forced children to fight, and enslaved its neighbours? Was Sparta really a utopia? Or was Aristotle right when he said that Spartans simply made men into machines? This is a Short History of the Spartans. Written by Jo Furniss. With thanks to Dr Andrew Bayliss, Associate Professor of Greek History at the University of Birmingham, UK, and author of The Spartans: A Very Short Introduction.

The frequency and vibration of knowledge can move us in many ways. Let's review some yellow paper notes from the war college. Fatalism results when nothing can stop what's coming. Becoming familiar with the ancient books of Greece and China. This is a war like no other. The Chinese laws of Moses. Ever heard of them? The West has always been the focus of world history. Borders change just like solutions. The Athenians are what modern democrats pretend to be. Spartans were the bad ass conservatives. Women were highly regarded as generals. Spartan infrastructure and order were challenged by sanctuary cities. First destroy your enemies from within. Who funded the wars of the Greek empire? The phrase all roads lead to Rome, was manufactured. The Divine Farmer and the beginning of traditional Chinese medicine. Only following a righteous path can lead to life's real success. Where did the Greeks get their bronze? The Augusts, the Emperors and the woman goddess. World wide floods seemed to have been a problem. The Christmas Tree nebula. Heavy gravity thoughts. Oh, and we're going to war. The blurred lines are purposeful. We will be nerding out in 2025. Real knowledge in God is the only path to true freedom. Surrender, and your inner truth will have been chosen from Him.
