Are we going in the right direction as communicators? In an era of dramatic policy shifts, cultural upheaval, and a fractured media landscape, how do we trudge onward through the muck without losing our way? Weighty questions indeed. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Elie Jacobs, founding partner of Purposeful Advisors, to tackle the thorny issues facing today's communications professionals. With over two decades of experience in public policy and advocacy, Elie brings a wealth of insights to the table. From his early days in President Clinton's post-presidential office to his current role advising startups and mid-size companies, Elie has witnessed firsthand the evolution of the communications profession. This wide-ranging conversation covers critical topics like the impact of AI on truth and objectivity, the challenges of maintaining purpose in a "perma-crisis" environment, and the delicate balance between business imperatives and societal responsibilities. Elie and Dan discuss the pitfalls of chasing trends versus staying true to core business objectives, and debate the proper role of communicators in shaping corporate policies on contentious issues. Throughout the episode, Elie emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, curiosity, and maintaining perspective in an increasingly polarized world. He argues for a return to fundamentals - focusing on clear business purposes rather than getting caught up in the latest social media firestorms. The discussion also touches on generational divides in the workplace and how early career experiences shape communicators' approaches to risk and decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned PR pro or just starting out in the field, this episode offers valuable food for thought on the current state and future direction of strategic communications. Elie's candid insights and Dan's probing questions combine to create a thought-provoking exploration of our profession's most pressing challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh perspective on navigating the complex waters of modern corporate communications. Listen in and hear about...  Navigating the perma-crisis era as a communications professional How early career experiences shape strategic advisory skills Balancing business imperatives with societal responsibilities Critical thinking's vital role in the age of AI-driven information Adapting communication strategies to rapid political shifts Purposeful advising: focusing on a company's core mission Nuanced approaches to diversity and inclusion in corporate settings Notable Quotes On Career Beginnings: "The way I got into this was, you know, just sheer dumb luck. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I finished school. And then 911 happened and I picked up with cliche duffel bag of clothes and a duffel bag of GMAT books and LSAT books and GRE books and went off to Israel to try to figure out what to do." - Elie Jacobs [2:30 - 3:57] On the Path to Communications: "I don't know that. You know, people talk about having a calling, right? Some people have calling calling to the pulpit, regardless of what religion it is. Other people have callings to be doctors, other people have callings to be teachers. I'm not sure I've met anybody who has a calling to be a lawyer. I don't think I've ever met somebody who has a calling to be a public relations or communications specialist." - Elie Jacobs [6:48 - 7:15] On Representing Important Figures: "The only thing that was really said to us was you represent him, which also means you're representing his wife, who was then the senator. So that kind of weighs on you a little bit." - Elie Jacobs [12:36 - 12:45] On Dealing with High-Pressure Situations: "Once Bill Clinton completely loses his temper at you, your perspective on things changes a great deal. He lost it at me because I happened to be. I. I was just in the way." - Elie Jacobs [13:40 - 13:50] On the Importance of Critical Thinking: "Critical thinking is something that we actually have to call out now as something that, okay, we, we really need. Critical thinkers used to be almost a given that, you know, you, one of the reasons why either you are hired for an important job or, or that, you know, when you come out of college or wherever you've been, that, you know, critical thinking is part of the resume." - Dan Nestle [18:56 - 19:19] On the Challenges of Objective Truth in Modern Times: "The concept of objective truth has been shattered over the last 10 years. And it's not just, you know, misinformation and creative hyperbole and truth and, you know, truthful lies or whatever the term was that they came up with in the first Trump administration." - Elie Jacobs [27:04 - 27:18] On the Evolution of Media and Truth: "For the better part of three centuries or more. There were editors who present who basically worked on something that was book length every single day and that was the news." - Elie Jacobs [43:02 - 43:12] On the Role of Purpose in Business: "When we talk about purposeful, we're talking about, we're going to help you figure out what your purpose is. Going back to Simon Sinek's golden circle of why, how and what." - Elie Jacobs [51:43 - 51:52] On the Importance of Business Fundamentals: "There has to be a business imperative. You can only be good for society if you're good at business." - Elie Jacobs [1:05:05 - 1:05:11] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Elie Jacobs Purposeful Advisors | Website Elie Jacobs | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

If you want your child to grow up and perpetuate Godly values, sit down together every night and have a meal together, says Christian apologist and Founder and President of Truth For a New Generation, Alex McFarland. Alex has preached in more than 2,000 churches across America and is the only evangelist to have preached in 50 states in 50 days! The three things that children need most from their parents, reveals Alex, is authenticity, consistency, and accessibility. Alex shares that the youth of today are searching for the truth, and parents are the most important role model in a child’s life when it comes to illustrating what a relationship with Christ looks like. At Alex’s Truth for a New Generation camps, apologetics are taught to kids who are searching for a Biblical worldview. TAKEAWAYS Truth for a New Generation’s summer camp will kick off July 17-22 Today’s youth is seeking context for their place in the world 80 percent of children with strong Christian dads remain in the faith Text the word “Tour” to the number 55444 for information about the Pop Culture Purge Tour

Versus exercise just enough faith to get into the kingdom The creative power from the words and ideas of Heaven are still largely untapped There is much more Some of the greatest ideas and inventions came from Christians.. 1Sam17:37 David wanted to take out the Philistine In Hebrew culture you were not respected as a man until you were 30 years old David had integrity of heart At what moment did Saul concede to David and let him try to take him out?

Shalom family.  Restoration of Apostolic Doctrine: New Holy Spirit Insight in terms of rules of engagement concerning, “Dead Men Can't Fight: The Valley” released January 02, 2019 by Brother Klaus Chavis of Digital Disciple Ministries. Episode 1 of Series serves as foundation and context for his Prophetic Revelation: Dead Men Cant Fight: The Valley - YouTube *I offer this insight out of obedience and submission to Holy Spirit and in the life, spirit, and love of Proverbs 27: 17 to God be the glory in Jesus name. Amen. FYI: I expound on items below during the podcast praise God. The following items serve as points of reference. Shalom. I encourage everyone to please first listen to the prophetic insight provided by Holy Spirit through Brother Klaus and view the first episode for the purpose of review and context prior to listening to this build or sharpening and pray with Holy Spirit.  Dead Men Cant Fight: The Valley - YouTube Holy Spirit led me to review again the first episode and quickly downloaded life and truth, strategy and intelligence concerning the revelation he entrusted to Brother Klaus Chavis of Digital Disciple Ministries praise God in Jesus name.  I will note that the first thing Holy Spirit brought to my mind, remembrance and attention is Hebrews 4:12 in particular the truth of the living word of God is a double-edged sword precisely.  Homebase scripture Holy Spirit gave Brother Klaus for this revelation is Ezekiel 37 and he begins with verse 1 and 2 teaching on the biblical concept of valley as it relates to spiritual warfare. It was absolutely amazing, anointed, and true praise God.  New insight however from Holy Spirit is revealing in this hour rules of engagement of how to win concerning the present and coming warfare for the church with regard to Hebrews 4:12 (the word as a double-edged sword), the biblical concept of valley and spiritual warfare praise God! Just as the valley Brother Klaus so eloquently described in the context of spiritual warfare can be perceived as a elongated depression of earth's surface-a low place-lower than the surrounding area- a place of vulnerability & exposure providing adversaries (those in the kingdom of darkness are located in high places as written in Ephesian 6:12 an strategic tactical advantage in spiritual warfare.  There is a double edge sword to this biblical concept which I will quickly expound on but first I need to address his premise provided in his episode praise God.  So the first thing Holy Spirit revealed was the concept (in terms of strategic military warfare) Double-Edged Sword Hebrews 4:12 Insight: 1) Physical location & military operations: Valley of Death vs. Valley of Beracah 2) Identity of Jesus and his Offspring concerning the type of spiritual warfare:  Lord of Hosts or Lion of Judah vs. Shepherd Godly offspring engaged in battle as Lion/lioness as in the tribe of Judah Genesis 49 blessing and Genesis 1: 26 & Revelation 5: 2-4 made in the image of (God Lion of Judah) vs Sheep to be slaughtered.   3) Weapons of Warfare for type of spiritual battle: Rod & Staff vs. Sword of Truth *For example, Brother Klaus mentioned in Episode 1 that the Rod & Staff have limitation of reach of those in the valley that remove themselves from the proximity of protection rod and staff provide; which, takes us into item 4 praise God. 4) Shadow of Death Psalm 23 vs Shadow or Shade over our hand Psalm 121:5 : the word of God says his people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).  In regard to spiritual warfare God's word says, he trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle Psalm 144:1 & promise of 121:5 should be employed for a battle of Ezekiel 37; which again speaks weapons of warfare needed for employment which in this case is the Sword of Truth-word of God not states in Psalm 121:5: “the Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy shade upon thy hand.” 5)Humility (lowliness of heart is the blessing for warriors on a battlefield in the kingdom of God-think of the very heart of Jesus who is God Almighty, Lord of Hosts: Matthew 11:29 he states he is gentle and humble in heart) vs. Haughtiness in the context of mountains & valleys and spiritual warfare-**see also Philippians 2:5-11 for major insight into this concept… When we have an intimate personal relationship with our husband and king, Jesus Christ we ought not compare ourselves to others- falling risk to agents of darkness such as depression, fear, doubt, evil, or unbelief Brother Klaus mentions in his episode these are found in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Conversely, in the Valley of Beracah we have blessing. This is why the condition of our hearts need to reflect the heart of Jesus so that we may rule and reign as he desires and obtain victory in spiritual warfare like our predecessor a good portion of his reign, King David-we are called kings & priests also 1 Peter 2: 5. (Check out our heart- to- heart series on our site for more teaching on this topic praise God.) Point being: when you engage in war from the Valley of Beracah then you have the weapon of warfare found in Deuteronomy 11:11 because you remain in a place of blessing even during your battle and warfare this is where the word of God will establish for warriors in the kingdom of God access during battle to all spiritual blessings in heavenly places-for it is written, “But the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven.” Therefore children of God Almighty, Yahweh, King Jesus- absolutely have the tactical advantage as a child of God over every principality in the kingdom darkness in high places; we being hidden in Jesus Christ… whether we are in the valley or mountain top concerning warfare praise God; we have been given authority over all the power of the kingdom of darkness: Luke 10:19, Romans 8:37, and Revelation 12:11 praise God in Jesus name. With respect to Ezekiel 37-choose to fight from the valley of blessing in this hour as an army of God fighting dark principalities in high places with the Lord of Hosts of Heavens Armies as opposed to kingdom identity of us as sheep and our Lord as Shepherd in the valley beloved of God in this hour for such a time as this.   The Valley of the Shadow of Death Psalm 23 Brother Klaus referenced by way of Holy Spirit in 2019 praise God vs. the Valley of Beracah 2 Chronicles 20:20-26.  Holy Spirit noted that in the Valley of the Shadow of Death-the context is written in Jesus as Shepherd to his sheep.  Holy Spirit noted to me this evening that the warfare strategy for Psalm 23 is quite different from that of Ezekiel 37 or 2 Chronicles 20:20-26.  Ezekiel 37 requires war strategy from 2 Chronicles 20:20 not Psalm 23.  In support this claim please also refer to Isaiah 54:5, “ King James Bible For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. To note also quickly, Ezekiel 37 is in concert with God's covenant of Holy Matrimony and Peace Covenant as cross referenced with Genesis 2, Ephesians 6 and many more concerning the Gospel of Peace which is within the peace covenant which is tied to the holy matrimony covenant people of God. For more information on this please refer to our Fruit of the Kingdom, kingdom insight content from 2020 praise God. We see warfare in Ezekiel 37 is also in regard to God's warrior priests and him as commander in Chief as Lord of Hosts-Husband Isaiah 54:5 and also Lion of Judah Conqueror for his warrior priests that have the victory and overcome-they are lions and lionesses made in the image of God, Jesus and destined for victory over their enemies as written in Genesis 49: 8-12 all to the glory of God in Jesus name. verse 8 and 9 read as follows: “ 8"Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you. 8“Judah, your brothers shall praise you; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons shall bow down before you. 8"Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father's sons shall bow down to you. 8Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. 8Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the necks of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you.   9You are a lion's cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse him?

Rape is a sexual violation and a sexual violation is the most intimate and arguably the most profound of all violations that a human being could experience.   Sexual abuse, in any form, is traumatic and often confusing for the victims.  Individuals, who are traumatized, especially at the hands of others, require support, understanding, and validation for what they are experiencing and trying to overcome.  Unfortunately for the victims of sexual abuse, there is often a cloak of silence surrounding these issues, making receiving support and validation a difficult task. The Truth - For many individuals, profound traumatic experiences result in painful existential searching.  Victims may find themselves preoccupied with difficult questions about existence, good and evil, justice and fairness, spiritual beliefs, faith, and God.   Many will and have questioned the very foundation of beliefs they have built their lives upon to this point.  This questioning can lead to a sense of being lost and adrift with nothing to trust or believe in.  Recovery will be dramatically affected by how well these issues are resolved for the victim. Victims frequently ask questions and struggle with issues that will be discussed at length in this section.  The inability, or reluctance, to seek support and validation makes recovery especially difficult for mostr individuals.  Over the years, religious communities have been reluctant to broach these topics or help with dealing. The responsibility of ministers and church leaders is great.  Religious leaders are often seen as the “mouthpiece of God” and have tremendous power and influence with believers and even to some degree with non-believers.   Your reactions are normal and we can tell you for a fact that It's not your fault BUT we are here to help you!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tee-m2/message

Life is full of situations that build us up and knock us down, building self-esteem and dropping us to our knees. And regardless of what life brings, we each have an internal compass that knows our truth. In today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, we call forth all the energies and beliefs that we’ve given power to, that we’ve put in front of our inner knowing, and we call on Divine Attributes to help us cleanse them from our bodies, minds and hearts. We call on Source, Divine Names and our cosmic support team to help us reset the internal compass to align with truth. The Divine Attributes we work with include: Al-Mudhil, the One Who Humiliates, Low Self-Esteem Al-Mu’izz, the One Who Honors, High Self-Esteem Al-Haqq, the Truth For more info, access this recording at

GOD has sent down to you a message—[65:11] a messenger who recites to you GOD's revelations, clearly, to lead those who believe and work righteousness out of the darkness into the light. Anyone who believes in GOD and leads a righteous life, He will admit him into gardens with flowing streams; they abide therein forever. GOD will generously reward him. [17:85] They ask you about the revelation (Rooh). Say, "The revelation (Rooh) comes from my Lord. The knowledge given to you is minute.” [2:89] When this scripture came to them from GOD, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. GOD's condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers. [26:192] This is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. [26:193] The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came down with it. [26:194] To reveal it into your heart, that you may be one of the warners. [26:195] In a perfect Arabic tongue. [26:196] It has been prophesied in the books of previous generations. [26:197] Is it not a sufficient sign for them that it was known to the scholars among the Children of Israel? Gospel of Truth "For he revealed it as a knowledge with which all its emanations agree, namely, the knowledge of the living book which he revealed to the Aeons at last as his letters, displaying to them that these are not merely vowels nor consonants, so that one may read them and think of something void of meaning; on the contrary, they are letters which convey the truth. They are pronounced only when they are known. Each letter is a perfect truth like a perfect book, for they are letters written by the hand of the unity, since the Father wrote them for the Aeons, so that they by means of his letters might come to know the Father.” Messenger of the Covenant  Malachi 3  3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. [3:81] GOD took a covenant from the prophets, saying, "I will give you the scripture and wisdom. Afterwards, a messenger will come to confirm all existing scriptures. You shall believe in him and support him." He said, "Do you agree with this, and pledge to fulfill this covenant?" They said, "We agree." He said, "You have thus borne witness, and I bear witness along with you.” [33:7] Recall that we took from the prophets their covenant, including you (O Muhammad), Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary. We took from them a solemn pledge.* [33:40] Muhammad was not the father of any man among you. He was a messenger (rasool) of GOD and the final prophet (nabi). GOD is fully aware of all things. [7:35] O children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, and recite My revelations to you, those who take heed and lead a righteous life, will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve. [10:20] They say, "How come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting along with you." 1974 Rashad Khalifa discovered the mathematical structure of the Quran Sura 74 only sura mention number 19  [74:14] I made everything easy for him. [74:15] Yet, he is greedy for more. [74:16] He stubbornly refused to accept these proofs. [74:17] I will increasingly punish him. [74:18] For he reflected, then decided. [74:19] Miserable is what he decided. [74:20] Miserable indeed is what he decided. [74:21] He looked. [74:22] He frowned and whined. [74:23] Then he turned away arrogantly. [74:24] He said, "This is but clever magic! [74:25] "This is human made." [74:26] I will commit him to retribution. [74:27] What retribution! [74:28] Thorough and comprehensive. [74:29] Obvious to all the people. [74:30] Over it is nineteen.  [74:31] We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned their number (19)  (1) to disturb the disbelievers,  (2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture),  (3) to strengthen the faith of the faithful,  (4) to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews, as well as the believers, and  (5) to expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts,  and the disbelievers; they will say, "What did GOD mean by this allegory?" GOD thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is a reminder for the people. [74:32] Absolutely, (I swear) by the moon. [74:33] And the night as it passes. [74:34] And the morning as it shines. [74:35] This is one of the great miracles. [74:36] A warning to the human race. Number of words in 74:31 = 57 words = 19 x 3  First 19 verses of sura 74 also contain 57 words = 19 x 3 Number of words from the beginning of the sura to the word 19 (in arabic) is 95 words = 19 x 5  and  361 letters = 19 x 19 1974 = 1393 AH Quran was revealed in 13 BH = 13 + 1393 = 1406  1406 years since the revelation of the Quran = 1406 = 19 x 74 Happens in the Sura entitled Hidden Secret / aka cryptography kryptos," meaning "hidden," and "graphein," meaning "to write." Sura 42 and 50 have the letter qaff or Q in English 42 twice as long as 50 yet both contain 57 occurrences of the letter Q 114 chapters = 19 x 6 6346 = 19 x 334 Bism Allah Alraman Alraheem Bism = 19 Allah = 2698 = 19 x 142 Allrahamn = 57 = 19 x 3 Alraheem = 114 = 19 x 6 19 = Alpha and Omega / The beginning and the Last Muhammad did not have a physical miracle  [10:20] They say, "How come no miracle came down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The future belongs to GOD; so wait, and I am waiting along with you.” Root Rashad occurs 19 times in the Quran Khalifa occurs twice in the Quran If you add all the sura and verse numbers where the root Rashad and Khalifa occur you get = 1463 = 19 x 77   God Guides Not the Liars [40:28] A believing man among Pharaoh's people, who was concealing his belief, said, "How can you kill a man just for saying, 'My Lord is GOD,' and he has shown you clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, that is his problem, and if he is truthful, you benefit from his promises. Surely, GOD does not guide any transgressor, liar. [40:29] "O my people, today you have kingship and the upperhand. But who will help us against GOD's judgment, should it come to us?" Pharaoh said, "You are to follow only what I see fit; I will guide you only in the right path  (سَبيلَ الرَّشادِ)." [40:30] The one who believed said, "O my people, I fear for you the same fate as the previous opponents. [40:31] "The opponents of Noah, and 'Ãd, Thamûd, and others who came after them. GOD does not wish any injustice for the people. [40:32] "O my people, I fear for you the Day of Summoning. [40:33] "That is the day when you may wish to turn around and flee. But nothing will protect you then from GOD. Whomever GOD sends astray, nothing can guide him." Who is the Last Messenger?* A Tragic Human Trait [40:34] Joseph had come to you before that with clear revelations, but you continued to doubt his message. Then, when he died you said, "GOD will not send any other messenger after him. (He was the last messenger)!"** GOD thus sends astray those who are transgressors, doubtful. [40:35] They argue against GOD's revelations, without any basis. This is a trait that is most abhorred by GOD and by those who believe. GOD thus seals the hearts of every arrogant tyrant. [40:36] Pharaoh said, "O Hãmãn, build for me a high tower, that I may reach out and discover. [40:37] "I want to reach the heaven, and take a look at the god of Moses. I believe he is a liar." Thus were the evil works of Pharaoh adorned in his eyes, and thus was he kept from following (the right) path. Pharaoh's scheming was truly evil. [40:38] The one who believed said, "O my people, follow me, and I will guide you in the right way. [40:39] "O my people, this first life is a temporary illusion, while the Hereafter is the eternal abode." The Best Deal [40:40] Whoever commits a sin is requited for just that, and whoever works righteousness—male or female—while believing, these will enter Paradise wherein they receive provisions without any limits. The Believing Egyptian Debates With His People [40:41] "O my people, while I invite you to be saved, you invite me to the hellfire. [40:42] "You invite me to be unappreciative of GOD, and to set up beside Him idols that I do not recognize. I am inviting you to the Almighty, the Forgiver. [40:43] "There is no doubt that what you invite me to do has no basis in this world, nor in the Hereafter, that our ultimate return is to GOD, and that the transgressors have incurred the hellfire. [40:44] "Some day you will remember what I am telling you now. I leave the judgment of this matter to GOD; GOD is the Seer of all the people." [40:45] GOD then protected him from their evil schemes, while the people of Pharaoh have incurred the worst retribution.   [72:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [72:1] Say, "I was inspired that a group of jinns listened, then said, 'We have heard a wonderful Quran.* [72:2] "'It guides to righteousness (the right way) الرُّشْدِ, and we have believed in it; we will never set up any idols besides our Lord. [72:3] "'The Most High is our only Lord. He never had a mate, nor a son. [72:4] "'It is the foolish among us who used to utter such nonsense about GOD. [72:5] "'We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about GOD. [72:6] "'Human beings used to seek power through jinn beings, but they only afflicted them with a lot of adversity. [72:7] "'They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another (messenger). [72:8] "'We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles. [72:9] "'We used to sit there in order to spy. Anyone who listens is pursued by a powerful projectile. [72:10] "'We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them / (guide them to the) right path رَشَدًا. [72:11] "'Some of us are righteous, and some are less than righteous; we follow various paths. [72:12] "'We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on earth; we can never run away and escape. [72:13] "'When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction. [72:14] "'Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.'" As for those who submitted, they are on the right path رَشَدًا. [72:15] As for the compromisers, they will be fuel for Gehenna. [72:16] If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water. [72:17] We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution. [72:18] The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD. God's Messenger of the Covenant* [72:19] When GOD's servant* advocated Him alone, almost all of them banded together to oppose him. [72:20] Say, "I worship only my Lord; I never set up any idols besides Him." [72:21] Say, "I possess no power to harm you, nor (to guide you to the) right path رَشَدًا." [72:22] Say, "No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge besides Him. [72:23] "I deliver GOD's proclamations and messages." Those who disobey GOD and His messenger incur the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever. [72:24] Once they see what is awaiting them, they will find out who is really weaker in power, and fewer in number. [72:25] Say, "I do not know if what is promised to you will happen soon, or if my Lord will delay it for awhile." [72:26] He is the Knower of the future; He does not reveal the future to anyone. [72:27] Only to a messenger that He chooses,* does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news.* [72:28] This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things. *72:1-28 The messenger here is named, mathematically, as "Rashad Khalifa,". The number of verses from 1:1 to 72:27, where the messenger is mentioned, is 5472, 19x72x4.  The word "Rashada" occurs 4 times in Sura 72. The value of "Rashada" is 504, and 504+28 (verses of Sura 72) is 532, 19x28.  The value of "Rashad Khalifa” = 505 + 725  +72+28=1330 =19x70.  The digits of Sura 72 and its number of verses (28) add up to 7+2+2+8=19.  Also, the crucial expression, "only to a messenger that He chooses" has a value of 1919, 19x101. إِلّا مَنِ ارتَضىٰ مِن رَسولٍ
