Notes: The Wrath of the Lamb – Understanding Bible ProphecySession Overview- Date: Sunday, June 1, 2025- Host: L. David Harris- Program: Your Daily Portion- Topic: How to Study Bible Prophecy – The Wrath of the Lamb- Platform: Online broadcast and community at yourdailyportion.com- Theme: The paradoxical concept of the "wrath of the Lamb" and its implications for believers and non-believers in the context of the end times.---Key Concepts and Sections1. The Paradox of the Wrath of the Lamb- Key Question: “What is the wrath of the Lamb?” - The Lamb is a symbol of Christ, traditionally seen as gentle and sacrificial. - The idea of a lamb expressing wrath is paradoxical and meant to provoke thought.- Quote: “Have you ever seen lambs or sheep? What does that even mean? Lamb, lambs, wrath. Like what?”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a lion and a lamb – Christ is both gentle and mighty. In His final act of judgment, the Lamb becomes the Lion of Judah.2. Biblical Reference: Revelation 6:12–17- Main Scripture: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake…” (Revelation 6:12)- Key Details: - Cosmic disturbances: darkened sun, blood-red moon - Earthquake and falling stars - People cry out to be hidden from the face of God and the wrath of the Lamb- Quote: “The face that should have been their comfort becomes their terror.”- Study Tip: Use the mnemonic “COSMIC JUDGMENT” to remember the signs – Cosmic events, Earthquake, Stars falling, Mountains and rocks, People hiding, Wrath, Lamb.3. Theological Insight: Christ's Sacrifice vs. Final Judgment- Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb: - Silent before His accusers (Isaiah 53:7) - Took on the wrath of God for our sins- Contrast: - Jesus endured wrath to spare us from it. - Those who reject Christ will face the wrath of the Lamb in the final judgment.- Quote: “He died the death that we deserve so we can have the life that he deserves.”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a courtroom – Jesus is both the Advocate and the Judge. He took the penalty so we wouldn't have to face it.4. The Final Rejection and Fear of God- Response of the Lost: - Recognize God's reality but do not seek mercy. - Cry out for hiding from the face of God and the Lamb. - Not repentant, only fearful.- Quote: “They recognize the truth but refuse to surrender to it.”- Connection to Adam and Eve: - Like Adam in the Garden, they hide in fear and shame. - Their separation is now irreversible.- Study Tip: Use the framework of “Hiding vs. Healing” – Those who rejected God's offer of salvation can no longer accept it and now fear His presence.5. Lesson 1: People Are Lost Not Because They Were Uninformed- Key Point: Final judgment is not due to ignorance, but rejection.- Quote: “People will be lost not because they were uninformed. There's no new information, but because they refused to believe.”- Study Tip: Use the phrase “Truth Delayed, Not Denied” to remember that God's patience is not a sign of cancellation.6. Lesson 2: Delay Is a Gift of Mercy- Key Point: God delays judgment to give people time to repent.- Quote: “Delay is a gift of mercy, not a cancellation of prophecy.”- Scripture Reference: 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a pregnancy – Just because the baby isn't born yet doesn't mean it won't come. The delay is purposeful and full of hope.7. Lesson 3: Christ's Coming Will Be Sudden to the Unprepared- Key Point: The Second Coming will be unexpected for those not watching.- Quote: “Suddenly to those who are unprepared.”- Scripture Reference: Matthew 24:39 – “And they knew not until the flood came. Just like in Noah's day…”- Study Tip: Use the “Noah's Ark Analogy” – Just as only those inside were saved, only those in Christ will be ready.---Actionable Takeaways- Be Prepared: Watch and wait for Christ's return.- Share the Gospel: Delay is mercy; use the time to reach others.- Examine Your Heart: Are you hiding from God or drawing near to Him?- Seek Mercy While It's Available: The door will not remain open forever.---Study Tips and Memory AidsMnemonics- COSMIC JUDGMENT – Remember the signs in Revelation 6- Hiding vs. Healing – Understand the final response of the lostAnalogies- Lion and the Lamb – Christ is gentle now, but will be mighty in judgment.- Pregnancy Analogy – Delay is purposeful and full of hope.- Noah's Ark – Only those inside (in Christ) will be saved.Frameworks- Three Lessons from the Wrath of the Lamb: 1. People are lost not because they were uninformed, but because they refused to believe. 2. Delay is a gift of mercy, not a cancellation of prophecy. 3. Christ's coming will be sudden to the unprepared.Reflection Questions- Are you prepared for Christ's return?- Are you hiding from God or drawing near?- Are you using the delay as an opportunity to grow and share the Gospel?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/your-daily-portion-with-l-david-harris--2912188/support.

#169 – If you have ever found yourself thinking, “why does essay writing feel so hard?” you are not alone. In this episode, I share 5 reasons why essays often feel overwhelming, confusing or frustrating—and what you can do about each one. We will explore why you were never properly taught how to write essays, why traditional study methods often make things harder, and why high-stakes assignments leave no room for practice. You will also hear why outdated frameworks like PEEL are not helping you and how you might be working incredibly hard but not always in the most effective way. If essay writing feels like a slog, there is nothing wrong with you—you just need better support, clearer methods, and more strategic tools. I will also introduce you to my brand-new training, The Essay Fix, which is open for enrolment now. Tune in to learn practical shifts you can make right away to make essay writing feel easier, more focused and less overwhelming.

Deep into the school year, our teen council is immersed in school competitions for Model UN and their a capella group among other things. There is loads of homework as well. Listen to our crew discuss what they've been working on and how they do their best studying. Do they listen to music? Does it matter where they sit? And what to do about the distraction that is the phone. Listen to the discussion about these topics and more. Our teen council recorded the latest edition of Chowder Chat on April 14, 2025.
#168 – You're told to be an independent learner at university—but no one actually shows you how. In this episode, I'm unpacking why independent learning feels so hard at higher education level, especially if you're returning to study as an adult. You'll learn why the problem isn't your intelligence, motivation or potential—but the lack of proper support. I'll break down the myth of ‘just figuring it out', share the metaphor I use with my students to explain what's really going on, and walk you through what should happen instead. If studying still feels harder than it should be, this episode will help you understand why—and give you a clearer way forward.

#167 – You worked hard. You followed the guidance. You poured hours into your essay… and still didn't get the mark you hoped for. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm unpacking the only two reasons why your essay grades aren't higher—and why these problems have nothing to do with your intelligence, effort or potential. You'll learn how misunderstanding the question and writing at the wrong level are the most common (and fixable) reasons students lose marks. I'll walk you through the signs to look out for, the types of feedback that hint at these issues and the specific study skills that can turn things around. Whether you're aiming to pass confidently or push your marks higher, this episode will help you close the gap between the grade you got and the one you deserve.

Bobbi talks with with Bon Anderson about ways to efficiently study during vet school. Host: Dr. Bobbi Conner Guest: Bon Anderson Producer: Topher Conlan
MMM-The prefix "ob-" in English has a fascinating range of meanings and uses. Here's a breakdown of its main functions and some examples: 1. "Against" or "In the way" obstacle: Something that stands in your way. object: To express disapproval or disagreement. obstruct: To block or hinder progress. obvious: Easily seen or understood, as if it's "in the way" of being missed. 2. "Toward" obligation: A duty or commitment that you're bound "toward." observe: To watch carefully, directing your attention "toward" something. 3. "Thoroughly" or "Completely" In some cases, "ob-" intensifies the meaning of the root word. obtain: To fully grasp or hold something. obfuscate: To make something completely unclear or confusing. obdurate: Stubborn and unyielding, "thoroughly" hardened in one's stance. Variations: The prefix "ob-" can sometimes appear as "oc-", "op-", or "of-" before certain consonants (e.g., occur, oppose, offer). Etymology: "Ob-" comes from Latin, where it had similar meanings. Nuances: The exact meaning of an "ob-" word can depend on the specific context and the root word it's attached to. Expanding Your Vocabulary Root Exploration: Look up the root words that are combined with "ob-" (e.g., "tain" in obtain, "fuscate" in obfuscate). Understanding the root will illuminate the full meaning of the word. Contextual Clues: Pay attention to how "ob-" words are used in sentences and texts. This will help you grasp their specific connotations. Word Lists: Use online resources or dictionaries to find lists of words containing "ob-". This can be a fun way to expand your vocabulary. Memory Palace Location: Imagine a bustling city street. "Obstruct" (Against/In the way):: A giant, overflowing garbage dumpster has been placed smack-dab in the middle of the street. It's completely obstructing traffic. Cars are honking, people are detouring, and a cyclist is trying to squeeze past but is struggling. The dumpster is bright orange, making it obvious (another "ob-" word!) that it's causing a problem. A sleek, futuristic drone suddenly descends and, with a precise laser beam, vaporizes the overflowing garbage from the dumpster. The street is instantly clear. The drone has obviated the need for anyone to move the dumpster manually. Traffic flows smoothly again. Here, "ob-" suggests "against" in the sense of "removing" or "counteracting" a problem. The drone's action has obviated (made unnecessary) the previous need to deal with the obstruction. Visualize the clean, efficient removal to remember this meaning. A group of protesters has arrived at the street, holding signs and chanting. They are opposing the city's plan to build a new highway through the neighborhood. They stand opposed to the construction workers who are trying to clear the area (another "ob-" related concept: "obstruct," remembering the earlier example). The protesters are very vocal and determined. "Oppose" clearly demonstrates the "against" meaning of "ob-". The protesters are actively standing against the proposed highway. Visualize their passionate demonstration to solidify the meaning. Narrative: The overflowing dumpster obstructed the street. The drone obviated the need to move it. Now, the protesters oppose the new highway, adding another layer of conflict to the scene. The street is becoming a stage for various "ob-" related actions and concepts. #MemoryPalace, #VocabularyBuilding,#MnemonicDevice, #EnglishLanguage, #WordNerd, #ObPrefix, #Oppose, #Obstruct ,#Obviate, #LanguageLearning, #VisualLearning ,#StudyTips, #MemoryTechniques, #Education ,#Etymology, #WordOfTheDay, #Vocabulary, #LearningHacks, #BrainTraining,

This is your mental "room" or location within your larger "Janissary" palace.The Object: A giant, gleaming javelin. It's not just any javelin; it's oversized, perhaps made of gold, and emits a shimmering light.The Action: The javelin is piercing the Hagia Sophia's dome.

more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-01-13-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: En una nit freda d'hivern, mentre la neu caia suaument a fora, el dormitori de l'estudiant Jordi estava il·luminat per la llum fluorescent que penjava just sobre el seu escriptori.En: On a cold winter night, while the snow fell gently outside, the student Jordi's bedroom was illuminated by the fluorescent light hanging just above his desk.Ca: Els llibres i apunts estaven escampats per tota la taula.En: Books and notes were scattered all over the table.Ca: L'aire a dins era càlid, però el Jordi se sentia atrapat, com si el pes del món sencer descansés sobre les seves espatlles.En: The air inside was warm, but Jordi felt trapped, as if the weight of the entire world rested on his shoulders.Ca: Jordi era un estudiant aplicat, però en les últimes setmanes, el seu cap estava ple de dubtes.En: Jordi was a diligent student, but in recent weeks, his head was full of doubts.Ca: Necessitava mantenir la seva beca i demostrar-se a si mateix que podia aguantar aquest ritme universitari.En: He needed to maintain his scholarship and prove to himself that he could handle this university pace.Ca: Però ara, el seu objectiu més important se sentia tan llunyà.En: But now, his most important goal felt so distant.Ca: Va decidir que la millor manera de concentrar-se era estudiar a la nit, quan tot estava en silenci.En: He decided that the best way to concentrate was to study at night, when everything was silent.Ca: Així, no hi hauria distraccions de les rialles o música que sovint omplien el dormitori durant el dia.En: That way, there would be no distractions from the laughter or music that often filled the dormitory during the day.Ca: Va sentir que la calma de la nit podria ser la seva aliada.En: He felt that the calm of the night could be his ally.Ca: Però aquesta calma no estava ajudant en absolut.En: But this calm was not helping at all.Ca: Feia hores que intentava assimilar la informació, mirant les mateixes pàgines sense comprendre res.En: For hours he had been trying to absorb the information, staring at the same pages without understanding anything.Ca: El temps passava i la frustració creixia.En: Time passed, and frustration grew.Ca: Se sentia sol, sol davant una batalla que semblava impossible de guanyar.En: He felt alone, alone in front of a battle that seemed impossible to win.Ca: Just quan pensava en rendir-se, un truc a la porta el va sorprendre.En: Just when he was thinking of giving up, a knock at the door surprised him.Ca: Marta, la seva amiga i veïna del pis, estava a fora amb un somriure i un parell de cafès a la mà.En: Marta, his friend and neighbor, was outside with a smile and a couple of coffees in hand.Ca: "He pensat que potser necessitaves una pausa", va dir ella, oferint-li una tassa fumejant.En: "I thought maybe you needed a break," she said, offering him a steaming cup.Ca: Jordi va acceptar amb gratitud, i la Marta es va asseure al seu costat.En: Jordi accepted with gratitude, and Marta sat down next to him.Ca: Van parlar de tot i de res, des dels estudis fins a les petites anècdotes que almenys per uns moments van alleugerir la càrrega que Jordi sentia.En: They talked about everything and nothing, from studies to little anecdotes that, at least for a few moments, eased the burden Jordi felt.Ca: A poc a poc, la tensió es va dissipar i, amb aquesta nova energia, Jordi va tornar als llibres.En: Gradually, the tension dissipated, and with this new energy, Jordi returned to the books.Ca: Aquesta vegada, les paraules semblaven cobrar sentit i la seva confiança, poc a poc, va tornar.En: This time, the words seemed to make sense, and his confidence slowly returned.Ca: Amb Marta a prop, va recordar que no estava sol.En: With Marta nearby, he remembered that he was not alone.Ca: L'amistat i el suport podien ser tan importants com els mateixos estudis.En: Friendship and support could be as important as the studies themselves.Ca: Quan la nit va anar passant, el dormitori de Jordi es va convertir en un racó de treball on la companyonia va guanyar sobre la pressió.En: As the night wore on, Jordi's bedroom

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans @billholt8792 Edgar Allan Poe-Poetic Profundity: Unraveling the Dark Genius of Edgar Allan Poe "Welcome back, fellow seekers of the strange and the sublime! Today, we delve into the enigmatic world of Edgar Allan Poe, a literary luminary whose tales continue to captivate and confound. Poe's works, often steeped in darkness and despair, possess a profound depth that transcends mere entertainment. His ability to explore the darkest corners of the human psyche and the supernatural realm has made him a timeless figure in the literary world. Let's take a closer look at some of his most iconic works: The Raven: This haunting poem, with its repetitive "Nevermore," delves into themes of loss, grief, and madness. Poe masterfully employs alliteration and assonance to create a mesmerizing rhythm that mirrors the narrator's descent into despair. The Tell-Tale Heart: This chilling tale explores the psychological torment of guilt and the fragility of the human mind. Poe's use of first-person narration allows us to experience the narrator's descent into madness firsthand. The Fall of the House of Usher: This gothic masterpiece delves into themes of decay, madness, and the disintegration of the human psyche. Poe's vivid descriptions and atmospheric setting create a sense of dread and foreboding. Beyond their surface-level horror, these works offer profound insights into the human condition. Poe's characters are often driven by irrational fears, obsessive desires, and a longing for the unattainable. Through their struggles, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. So, join me as we explore the depths of Poe's genius and uncover the hidden meanings behind his most famous works. Let's unravel the mysteries of the macabre and discover the profound truths that lie beneath the surface." #EdgarAllanPoe, #DarkPoetry, #LiteraryAnalysis, #GothicLiterature, #Psychoanalysis, #TheRaven ,#TheTellTaleHeart, #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher, #Podcast, #YouTube, #GrandpaBill ,#bhsaleskennelkelpholistichealinghour, Poe masterfully employs alliteration and assonance to create a mesmerizing rhythm that mirrors the narrator's descent into despair.

Understanding the Concept: A memory palace, or method of loci, is a memory technique that involves associating information with specific locations in a familiar place. By linking abstract concepts to vivid visual images, you can enhance memory recall. Using Poe's Works to Enhance Your Memory Palace: Given Poe's mastery of atmosphere and imagery, his works can be a powerful tool for creating a memorable and evocative memory palace.
