Welcome to Issue 281 of Critical Encounters, a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets. We'll discuss those poorly understood characters, unfairly labeled Villains, and their various plans to shape humanity and benefit the planet, as well as those so-called heroes intent on thwarting them. In this issue we travel all the way to the Savage Lands with special guest Evil Dr. Matt Carrano of the Museum of Natural Histroy at the Smithsonian.

From the mountains of Saudi Arabia to the ruins of Noah's Ark in Turkey, Joseph F. Dumond has spent over four decades uncovering prophetic patterns hidden in plain sight. His discoveries about the Jubilee cycles, the Red Heifer's coming sacrifice in 2026, and the shocking fulfillment of biblical prophecies in our headlines today… will shake you. Joseph F Dumond I was born in 1958 to an Anglican mother and a Catholic father. I was raised Catholic and married my high school sweetheart, Barbara, in 1978 after graduating in 1977 from Orangeville District Secondary School in Ontario, Canada.Barbara and I had our daughter in 1981, our son in 1982, and then later our third child—another son in 1990. We wanted to be good parents and began to attend the Catholic church weekly, but we learned very little about God at this time.In 1981, I first heard Herbert Armstrong teaching about the Sabbath on my car radio late one night on my way to work in Eastern Ontario. He was teaching about the ancestry of the French people, which I found very interesting as I worked on my family tree, but I was not able to write his contact information down while I drove.A few days later, I heard him again as I left from work and wrote in to request some material. That winter of 1981-82, I found myself studying the Bible unlike I had ever done in the past. I was desperately trying to prove wrong what he said about the Sabbath being Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. How could one billion Catholics be keeping the Sabbath on the wrong day?I worked seven days a week as a foreman, supervising natural gas pipeline workers. There was no way I could possibly take a day off to attend church on Saturday. But finally, after six months of solid day and night study, I could no longer discount just how clear Yehovah has always been on this matter and that we all should be keeping the Sabbath. I was forced to conclude the seventh day Saturday Sabbath had never changed, and that it was the Catholic Church that was to blame for changing the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday, so I began to attend the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in April of 1982.About a month after my first visit, I learned about the Holy Days. Through those Holy Days—all of which are found in Leviticus 23—I was able to learn of Yehovah's divinely inspired plan for mankind and how it was all to come together. I attended the WCG from 1982-1994. Hebert Armstrong died in 1986 and the Church he left behind began to return to—and look more and more like—the Catholic Church. There were many splits during these years.I left the WCG after attending Sukkot in 1994. They were now serving communion which is what we did every Sunday in the Catholic faith. I began to study on my own from that week onward. Because my wife was not interested, I would leave the house each Saturday and drive to a deserted dead-end road and study there alone—and did so until 9/11 took place in 2001.The Sabbath after 9/11, I was attending the United Church of God (UCG) which was one of the many offshoots of the WCG. While there, I began to write just a few articles for the Good News Magazine and the monthly newspaper published by the UCG.In the winter of 2004-05, I heard about Michael Rood and Nehemia Gordon giving a teaching in Lansing, Michigan. I drove down and for the first time learned that God had a name, that the Hillel calendar I was currently following began in 358 C.E., and the original calendar used by Yehshua and the Apostles was the crescent moon to begin the month and the barley each spring to begin the year. Once again, I was being challenged in my beliefs. Once again, I began an intensive search to discover the truth.I was not sure which methodology was correct, so I decided to keep both and no one would know. The Holy Days would only be a couple days apart at the most. Then Nehemia announced the barley was Aviv and they would be keeping the Holy Days one month before those on the Hillel calendar. I decided to keep both calendars anyway, even though they would be 30 days apart. On Passover according to the barley, I discovered the proof scripture showing me absolutely which calendar was correct. It was when Yehshua said no man could know the day or the hour. Then on that same day through Qadesh La Yahweh Press, Yehovah showed me the Jubilee years, when they were, and how to prove them. They had written about 11 historical Sabbatical and Jubilee years.I was able to connect the curses of Leviticus 26 to these Jubilee cycles. I was then able to bridge the gap between the Old and New Testament chronologies because of the Jubilee cycles, one of which (the year they entered the Promised Land) I discovered when I did the Genesis chronology. This led me to know that the end of the 6th millennial day of mankind would be in 2044.This also led me to understand the prophecy of Daniel 9, which shows there are 70 Jubilee cycles from the Exodus—and it was not talking about Jesus. The middle of the 70th week, or 70th Jubilee cycle, was 2020. I began warning about 2020 starting in 2005. Then the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the entire world in 2020.In the WCG I had learned how the Holy Days of Leviticus 23 explained the plan of salvation, but it was not until I combined the Jubilee cycles with those Holy Days that it all came together.I had begun to talk to the brethren about all I was discovering and by August 2006 I was asked to leave the UCG. That same month I began our website, Sightedmoon.com. The internet was still new and growing fast. This is when we began to write a weekly newsletter and share all those things we were discovering about the Jubilee cycles and prophecy, which I had written up in short articles since Passover 2005.I never wanted to be someone who teaches religion. Never. But when I saw that no one else was speaking about the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles and how they revealed end-time prophecy, I could no longer remain silent.In 2005, I took my first tour of Israel. In 2006, I mikveh'd (baptized) in the Gihon Spring and had hands laid on me. I have not been able to shut up since this time. Then in 2007, I went to Noah's Ark in eastern Turkey on the Iranian border to prove to myself if this was true and whether I could believe in the Bible. It was at this time that I also discovered I was in the Garden of Eden. After going to Israel and then Noah's Ark, I came away knowing the accuracy of the Bible. As of December 2024, I have been conducting my own tours of Israel, having now been there 25 times, as well as climbing Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia in 2022 where I saw the Golden Calf Altar.I continued to explain my findings to people repeatedly through our website, or in various Bible study groups, but few understood. In 2008, a friend told me to publish my writings into a book so they all would be in one place.In 2009, I kept my first Sabbatical year and let our land rest, stocking up food the year before. I also published the Sabbatical and Jubilee Charts for the first time in 2009.Having never written a book before, I was able to publish my first book The Prophecies of Abraham in 2010. I was trying to explain everything I understood in one book. I felt the least qualified to teach or to write as my English communication skills were horrendous.I assumed everyone already knew all these things I was explaining and that I was just another person saying the same old things once again. To my amazement, they did not know these things, nor had they heard such teachings before. Those double checking what I was saying could not find fault.This book, along with the charts, compares various prophetic Jubilee cycles with our current 120th cycle. Luke speaks of the days of Noah and of Lot. This is only understood when you see each of their Jubilee cycles and compare it to our own. Then that scripture makes so much more sense. Then we discovered the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine also confirmed what I was explaining.Many people could not understand how The Prophecies of Abraham demystified the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. To help them, in 2013, I then published Remembering the Sabbatical Year of 2016. I went into great detail and explained how to know when each and every Sabbatical and Jubilee year was. I walked the reader through each step in understanding how to figure this subject out, answering every question that has been raised about this subject.I was able to present all of this for the first time in 2013 at Sukkot in Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee. I was able to record all of these teachings for the very first time on video. It was during this Sukkot that I was introduced to the Tombstones of Zoar for the very first time.But the brethren still had trouble understanding the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 in relation to the Jubilee cycles. These end-time prophecies needed yet another book to explain them in great detail. This led me to publish my 4th book in 2014, The 2300 Days of Hell. I originally wanted to call it the 70 Shabua of Daniel, but no one understood the title, so I changed it just before publishing. Once you see the charts for the Jubilee cycles, you can then see how they explain the meaning of the 70 Weeks of Daniel, which were sealed until the time of the end. That time is right now.The brethren can now see many things on the nightly news that this book explains: the deception of the Paris Accords or Climate Change, and the rise of military confrontations in the Middle East, EU, Iran and China. In 2014, there was a lot of hype about the Blood Moons. Our 5th book, The Blood Moons-The Elephant in the Room, is only available as an e-book through our website, Sightedmoon.com. It shows you how there were blood moons on each of the Jewish Holy Days in the spring and in the fall just before almost every major event in the Bible, all the way back to just before the death of Adam. It is a stunning book which can only be explained when you understand the Jubilee cycles.In 2019, I was convinced of the need to write our 6th book, It Was A Riddle Not A Command, because many people would write us and say that no man knows the day or the hour, and therefore you cannot know these end-time prophecies that you are teaching in your other books. It was always disappointing to see this response, as it showed they would not and could not learn any more than what they had already come to understand at their local church or assembly. They had stopped growing. They had never learned what that expression they so often used was actually telling them—the very day our Messiah was going to come back on.In order to prove to you what this Hebrew idiom actually does mean, we must look at a few other subjects, which will again deepen your understanding of the time when our Messiah was killed and of what is meant by Revelation 12. You will also learn that Yehshua always spoke in parables to purposely not reveal the information He was teaching about to the public. He wanted them to remain ignorant because they would not take the time to learn about Him in more detail.In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, I hope you will be just like the wise virgins who bought extra oil so that they had it when they needed it. The five foolish virgins had to go buy the oil because they did not have enough, but they were too late.I had stated publicly I would close our website if nothing happened in 2020 as we had been warning in our book The 2300 Days of Hell. COVID-19 did happen, and it proved our accuracy of the Jubilee cycles, but it even took us some time to realize just how huge COVID was and what that meant.My 7th book was published in 2021. The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033 was addressing the rapture debate and showing from scriptures when it was to take place. In The Mystery of the Jewish Rapture 2033, we drill down on the Rapture itself and show you exactly where it is explained and the very day and year it is to take place on—exactly as your Bible shows you. Our book It Was A Riddle Not A Command also tells you the very day our Messiah is to come, so these last two books answer that burning desire most Christians have as to when these things are to take place. This answer is not possible to know though unless you understand the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.With the restrictions of COVID diminishing in 2022, and after having seen the Golden Calf Altar and Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, the realization of how COVID was a signal or marker to start another countdown began to dawn on me. I was now in a rush to get our next book out, but it turned out it was going to have to be three books which we called our Elijah Trilogy.Our 8th book was titled The Restoration of All Things and published in August 2022 as part one of our Elijah Trilogy. Yehshua said that Elijah must come first, and he would restore all things, and then the Messiah would come. So, what are the “all things” that have been lost and who is restoring those things today? Once we know what to look for, then we can see those who are restoring what was lost.Out 9th book, number two in the Elijah Trilogy, is The Abomination That Makes Desolate—The Epilogue. Released January 1, 2023, this book shows you how to know when the abomination was set up. Yes, the countdown to the abomination was already winding down as we raced to publish this book. Most have no clue because they are not looking, having not seen any of the works Yehovah is doing right now worldwide. Yes, we fully expected the abomination to be set up in 2023 and I even went to Israel to specifically look for it. I wrote Prime Minster Netanyahu and the Chief Rabbi and spoke face to face with Rabbi Yehudah Glick on September 10, 2023, but no one believed me. I was so stupid, so naive. Yehshua warned us that when you see the abomination you were to flee. Yehudah did text me on October 7 to say I was right, but it was too late for many people.I found a new shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the very location we expected to discover this abomination. Fortunately for me the abomination was set up on October 6, 2023, exactly 1290 days after the count had begun. To confirm this count date, the second part of Daniel's prophecy also took place 1335 days from that same marker. I experienced over 2000 rockets sent out from Gaza towards Israel and Jerusalem where I was. My understanding of prophetic events was proving to be spot on.My 10th book and 3rd book of the Elijah Trilogy was published in September 2023 and is titled The 10 Days of Awe. This book explains another understanding of the Holy Days from the Feast of Trumpets until the Day of Atonement. These 10 days are likened to the final 10 years before Satan is locked away with the Great Tribulation ending at that time. These 10 years are also connected to the curses of Revelation, as well as the 10 plagues of Egypt. I explain in this book about the curse of the Sotah woman of Numbers 5 and how each of the 10 plagues are what Yehovah is doing to show how the false gods have no power at all. My 11th book, The Stones Cry Out, published September 5, 2024, was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.You can know; it is not a mystery.As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Mishnah, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found, or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be increasingly dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud, and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added was compounded over time.The Stones Cry Out Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I am able to help you, the reader, understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been used since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.My 12th book, The Stones Cry Out Part 2, published in December 2024, utilizes the knowledge that there are multiple calendars being used throughout history. Reconciling them all into one cohesive chronology has been the difficulty of all chronologists. It is the lack of understanding about the various calendars why many of the Jubilee experts dismissed so many of the historical artefacts that were available to them.Some proofs are undeniable, while others are weak if they have to stand on their own. It is with a great sense of pride that I share with you what I have been able to document and what we now currently know about the Sabbatical and Jubilee proofs in our possession.Ladies and Gentlemen, this book should have actually been the first book I presented. When I began to understand the Sabbatical and Jubilee years in 2005, at that time I only had 11 Sabbatical years as a reference. From just those 11, I was able to prove a 2nd Jubilee year. Considering we only knew about one Jubilee year prior to this discovery and proof, I was excited. With just these 12 proofs, I have come to understand all the prophecies I have shared with you over the years in all of our books.All of these books, all of this understanding was only possible because of the understanding gained from the knowledge revealed through the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles by Yehovah. They truly are the foundation or KEY to understanding all end-time prophecy.We have 84 Biblical & historical records recording 63 Sabbatical years and 5 Jubilee years. When all 68 are combined, they prove beyond all doubt when to keep the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. It has been my passion since 2005 to discover and explain these mysteries. As I have proven when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are to be kept, Yehovah has revealed the profound meanings of many prophecies hidden by not understanding the Jubilee cycles. As I have learned them, I have shared these discoveries in each of my books in order for you, the reader, to also understand their profound meanings and grow closer to Yehovah God. It is for this purpose that I have created our website, Sightedmoon.com, and spent all this time and energy in producing these books—to help you to understand. I pray I have succeeded in helping you to understand. May they all be a blessing to you as well.You TubewebsiteFree Books

E119 The Fifth CourtRecorded at the University of Galway recording studios.Hosts Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL talk to Diarmuid J. Connolly BL (kind of 'Father of the Mayo Bar' but he's keen to correct that misnomer) a practising barrister based in County Mayo. Former UCG student Peter along with Diarmuid, start with a bit of reminiscing - including a story about men in UCG monitoring the purchase of condoms. However, Mark guides them back to the law.He has been a member of the Bar of Ireland since 1995. In recent years, he has been actively involved in advocating for the restoration of criminal legal aid fees to their 2011 levels. He participated in protests and strikes in Castlebar, highlighting the challenges faced by criminal barristers due to fee reductions under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (FEMPI) legislation. Connolly emphasized that the issue is not solely about rates but about ensuring equality and sustainability within the legal profession.Diarmuid's cultural recommendations are Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (he's a keen cook) and for a movie he tips the hat to 'Withnail and I'.The episode also includes recent important cases drawn from the Decisis casebook.
