You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionThe Austrian pro war party is emboldened by the French defeat at Bailen.  By April 1809 Archduke Charles is leading the newly reformed Austrian army into Bavaria.Napoleon has made a brilliant response, quite unexpectedly.  Davout's 3rd Corps and his German allies show they can still defeat the Austrians.But during the course of this year the French suffer a major defeat while Napoleon is in command.  Europe has its collective gasp moment, until Napoleon reestablishes the natural order with the victory at Wagram.Czar Alexander launches an "attack" into Austrian Galicia, but even this has implications for Archduke Charles.Meanwhile, Wellington, seriously outnumbered by the French conducts a campaign worthy of the young Napoleon defeating first one then two French Marshals.  Wellington has learned a great deal, and this year he learns not to trust the Spanish, whose corruption is both colossal and self defeating.   Despite Spanish promises, the logistical situation constrains Wellington, forcing his retreat at the moment of victory.

Here's our question for today: what makes a piece of music a “harp piece”?  Does it have to have been originally written for harp? Or composed by a harpist? Or could any piece of music, no matter what instrument or instruments it was written for, be a harp piece if you play it on the harp? I happen to think that the third answer is the correct one. Mostly. Let me explain. If you play a piece on the harp, it has absolutely become a harp piece whether it started out that way or not. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it should have become a harp piece. Some pieces just don't work on the harp. Take the “1812 Overture,” for example. This piece was written by Tchaikovsky to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon. It's 15 minutes long, It requires a full symphony orchestra (minus a harp), an additional brass band, a bell carillon and a battery of cannons - yes, cannons. How could a single harp play a meaningful rendition of this monster work? You could play some of the themes from the piece. You could shout “BOOM” when the cannons are supposed to fire. No matter how hard we try, though, it will never really sound like the original. Okay, that's an extreme example. However, we harpists are known for borrowing music liberally from the piano repertoire. While that's a good idea in general - after all, the harp and piano have a lot in common - some piano pieces never make good harp pieces, even when the piece translates easily from piano to harp. Sometimes, something gets lost in the translation. So what makes a piece of music a harp piece? What are the essential qualities and the specific characteristics that identify a piece as being written for harp, or that, on the flip side, mark it as definitely not a harp piece? Today, we will talk about those characteristics and how you can use them to spot pieces that might, or might not, be good ones to transpose or arrange for harp. This information will also be very useful when you're playing someone else's arrangement, and I'll tell you why in just a minute.

New episode out now! We watched the little-known comedy mystery with a stacked cast Once Upon A Crime (1992). We cover how the film had a different plot than expected, decide that it took a long time to set up the actual mystery but thought it turned out well, felt it was often incredibly silly in a good way, and get into the full 1980s of it all, good and bad. We also talk about the various characters and how many of them seemed more like caricatures, think the actors all nailed the vibe, wondered how much improv was involved, and obviously loved the dog-heavy plot. Katy got her Belushis mixed up, Carrie did not think of cocaine at all, Maddy really wanted to gamble, and Mack explains things women do for fun. We also try to use Italian accents, fail to recognize a Napoleon reference, discuss what groups of straight men do for fun, and learn we are susceptible to a voicemail joke. Listen to hear more about mean olds, James Bond, Chicago Pope, great eyebrows, and a Vegas roulette story. And thank you to Jerome for the suggestion!

On the precipice of the Battle of Austerlitz, Tolstoy illustrates the bravado and immaturity of youth.Here, I explore how Tolstoy incorporates elements of his own vice from his younger days, including pride and ambition. Both his early and late material speak to this, most notably personal journals from his time at university as well as the spiritual work, My Confession, written in 1879, when in his early 50s. The latter was an attempt to grapple with eternal questions such as: What am I doing?, and Why am I here? Tolstoy pursues answers in the mold of how Solomon (or “the Preacher”) is presented as taking them on in Ecclesiastes.Tolstoy appears to have reached the conclusion that those outside his social class (most notably humble peasants) have a higher chance of living in virtue and connecting with the Almighty. He implicitly argues for a reversion to a more simple Faith based on the Teachings of Christ.Early in Confession, Tolstoy famously wrote:I cannot think of those years without horror….. I killed men in war and challenged men to duels…. I lost at cards, consumed the labor of the peasants, sentenced them to punishments, lived loosely and deceived people. Lying, robbery, adultery of all kinds, drunkenness, violence, murder -- there was no crime I did not commit, and in spite of that people praised my conduct and my contemporaries considered and consider me to be a comparatively moral man. He could barely imagine such depravity among the peasant class.Tolstoy also references his early skepticism of the Russian Orthodox Church, especially as to rituals and teachings found outside the Gospel, such as certain prayers and the veneration of saints.He reflects that his “false faith” became trying to become the perfect earthly man and he rigorously tried to formulate methods to achieve success.  Some of Tolstoy's suggestions, taken from his journals, are: never hesitate to speak before onlookers; lead the conversation and speak deliberately; do not constantly move from conversation to conversation or language or language; seek the company of High Society; and invite the most important ladies – as that will be the event to be at!An aunt who helped raise him strongly suggested that he have relations with a married woman of the highest status – as she believed nothing so fully formed a young man. She also wanted him to become an aide-de-camp, if possible to the Emperor. She further advised to marry into extreme wealth and become possessed of as many serfs as possible. Tolstoy's journals continue in a self-help fashion, suggesting: do not put off what you set out to do; make an effort and the thoughts and ideas of how to achieve goals will come; write down your plan and do not get up from the table until you make sufficient progress.  Tolstoy also set regimented schedules for himself: 9-10 a.m.: Bathe and exercise, 10-12 a.m,: Music, play a least four pages of sheets, all scales and chords; 6-8 p.m.: Attend to his studies; 8-10 p.m.: Estate management.His time at the University of Kazan was an intense period of self-observation and served as a preparatory stage, filled with experimentation and vice, for where he wound up.Ultimately, Tolstoy came to realize his aristocratic peers developed this heightened arrogance, believing they are in the best position guide their fellow man. The rejection of such self-perfection efforts was significant to Tolstoy developing into an elderly sage, where pilgrimages were made to his estate.It is manifestly important to consider how Tolstoy embraces General Kutuzov as Napoleon's opposite - as more Godly and attuned to the unknowable nature of life. This symbolic depiction made the old general a national hero.This episode finishes by examining how the sinful ambitions he very much shared are fused into the characters of Napoleon, Boris, Berg, Anatole, Vasilly, Andrei, Pierre and Nicholas.

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode originally aired on July 12, 2021.___The raft floated in the midst of the River Niemen. On it were two beautiful pavilions, one for the Emperor of the French and the other for the Czar and Autocrat of All the Russias. In the French tent, Napoleon Bonaparte argued with his foreign minister, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, over how harsh the peace terms with the defeated Russians should be. Talleyrand, a servant of every revolutionary government since 1789, was a snake in silk stockings, but he knew foreign policy better than anyone else in the emperor's entourage. He begged the emperor to treat Russia gently and put an end to fifteen years of war. But Napoleon, flush with the victory at Friedland earlier that year, was determined to humiliate Alexander I, and Talleyrand, ever the obedient servant in public, fell silent. What if Napoleon had heeded Talleyrand's advice in 1807 and treated the Russians with more respect? What would our world look like today if history had taken a different course? In this series of bonus episodes on “15-Minute History,” Joe and I will be sharing some of our favorite “What If?” scenarios from this series with you. Building on the theme of Season Four, learning from history, we hope to provide some lessons on how individuals shape the destinies of large groups and entire nations.

14 juli 1789. Het volk in Parijs kwam in opstand en de Bastille viel. Na rebellie in Amerika kwam de revolte in Frankrijk. In de Republiek jubelden velen en bovenal de Leidse lakenfabrikant Pieter Vreede. Hij snakte naar radicale democratie en speelde een sleutelrol bij de val van Oranje-stadhouder Willem V. Pieter Vreede (1750-1837) was lang geheel vergeten. Zijn periode werd weggezet als 'de Franse tijd', een soort anti-nationale bezetting en overheersing vanuit Parijs. Maar een indrukwekkende biografie door Dirk Alkemade zorgt voor een heel nieuwe, gedurfde en uitdagende blik op die tijd met zijn politieke revoluties, hun inspiratiebronnen en de dichter, zakenman en oproerkraaier Pieter Vreede. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken met de jonge doctor in de turbulente jaren rond 1800. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier *** De troebelen toen waren deel van omwentelingen wereldwijd. Patriotten als Vreede waren net zo vurig voor verandering als Thomas Jefferson en Benjamin Franklin in Amerika, Lafayette en Condorcet in Parijs, de jonge filosofen en dichters in Jena en Weimar en Beethoven in de muziek. Alkemade schetst de intensieve verbindingen tussen deze vernieuwingsbewegingen en hoe men succesmodellen uit elkaars revoltes overnam. In de Republiek begon de politieke crisis door een hopeloze oorlog van stadhouder Willem V tegen de Britten. Die was rampzalig voor handel, vloot en leger. In de steden broeide het verzet, mensen als Vreede gingen zich politiek én militair organiseren. In 1787 lieten de Oranjes hun zwager uit Berlijn met zijn machtig leger ingrijpen. Een hardhandige interventie van buiten. Die brute repressie was voor de rebelse geesten een beslissend moment. Toen de Franse revolutie uitbarstte en radicaliseerde waren de dagen van Willem V geteld. Met Franse steun grepen zij de macht en installeerden een heel nieuw bewind. Vreede ging dit allemaal lang niet ver genoeg. Hij schrok van de Franse pressie tot 'moderatie' en de weerklank die dat meteen kreeg bij verlichte regentenclubs. Fel trok hij van leer. Pieter Vreede werd zo de eerste radicale oppositieleider in een parlement in ons land. Zijn poëtisch vuur in debatten, zijn felle gedichten, manifesten en krantenstukken sloegen aan. Met zijn Republikeinen partij, vaak ‘Vreedianen’ genoemd, overrompelde hij de Moderaten in het parlement en hun gematigde grondwetontwerp. Een kiene campagne liet het voorstel sneuvelen in het eerste Nederlandse referendum. De politieke impasse die zo ontstond leidde tot een staatsgreep, gesteund vanuit Parijs, met behulp van corrupte betalingen. Vreede was in 1798 de sterke man van het Uitvoerend Bewind. Zijn vijanden noemden hem 'de Hollandse Robespierre' en zijn zuiveringen in het overheidsapparaat riepen die vileine analogie ook wel op. Alkemade vertelt vol adembenemende details over Vreedes daadkrachtige aanpak, waarin een beetje Lenin en een vleugje Mao school. Tot bloedvergieten kwam het overigens nooit. Hij slaagde erin een radicaaldemocratische Grondwet door te drukken, de Staatsregeling voor het Bataafse Volk. Ook agendeerde Vreede met hartstocht de afschaffing van de slavernij. De oude Republiek met zijn Zeven Provinciën en hun eeuwenoud particularisme werd afgeschaft, een sterk uniform bewind doorgevoerd (met voor het eerst een gelijkwaardige rol voor Brabant). De politieke discussies van deze jaren zijn dan ook sterk beïnvloed door die Amerika en voor het Europa van nu verrassend actueel. De radicale zuiveringen ontlokten fel verzet. Na een half jaar werd Vreedes bewind door een tegencoup afgezet. De Fransen drongen aan op 'amnestie' en niet te veel afrekeningen, ook om de corrupte rol van Parijse machthebbers zoveel toe te dekken. Vreedes macht was voorgoed voorbij. Alkemade laat zien hoe verrassend en diep de impact van zijn werk niettemin bleef. Na 1801 was de radicaliteit gesaneerd, regenten en hun netwerken en ook de Oranjes keerden terug. Maar het staatsbestel bleef fundamenteel Vreediaans. Ook Thorbecke bouwde er bewust op voort. Vreedes idealen van radicale democratie en afschaffing van slavernij kregen daarbij overigens geen kans. Met nota bene antirevolutionairen als Abraham Kuyper en linkse bewegingen als die van Domela Nieuwenhuis en Pieter Jelles Troelstra kwamen zulke ideeën pas weer op in de jaren 1880. En pas vanaf 1919 – met het algemeen vrouwenkiesrecht – Was Vreedes droom ten volle gerealiseerd. *** Verder lezen Dirk Alkemade - Radicale democratie.

Together, they join the fictional APXGP team, aiming to disrupt the established order of the racing world. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film combines practical racing sequences with real F1 footage, offering an immersive experience for audiences. The movie has been praised for its dynamic storytelling and stunning visuals, making it a must-see for both racing enthusiasts and general moviegoers.Since its release on June 27, 2025, F1: The Movie has achieved remarkable box office success, grossing approximately $293 million globally. This figure makes it Apple's highest-grossing film to date, surpassing previous top performer Napoleon. A significant portion of its opening weekend revenue—19%—came from IMAX screenings, ranking fourth for IMAX's share of global debut sales behind Dune, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and Oppenheimer. The film's success has also sparked discussions about a potential sequel, with director Joseph Kosinski expressing interest in continuing the story. While no official sequel has been announced, the film's performance makes further installments increasingly likely.Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

7/9/25 - St. Gaspar del Bufalo (1786–1837) was a Roman priest and founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Arrested and exiled for refusing to swear allegiance to Napoleon, Gaspar returned after years of imprisonment to a war-torn Italy, where he fearlessly preached missions in remote and lawless regions, often facing violence and death threats. He reached out to bandits, prisoners, and the spiritually abandoned, calling them to conversion through the saving power of Christ's Precious Blood. Known for his fiery sermons, unwavering loyalty to the Pope, and deep Marian devotion, St. Gaspar was a reformer who renewed the faith in one of the darkest periods of Italian history.

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionTalleyrand represents a strand of the ancient regime, the old nobility that thrives and leads, right through the monstrosity and glory of Empire and the Reaction that follows.  Goethe is the literary Talleyrand, the carefully controlled spark of Romanticism, that could be said to spring into flame when Germany is born.Talleyrand's career spans the Ancien Regime, Revolution and the Empire and the Restoration and the July Monarchy that follows.  This episode follows Roberto Calasso's Talleyrand, and his Goethe too, using various sources for the Congress of Erfurt.Talleyrand will betray Napoleon, but did he betray France?Viola, un homme!  Is it just kitsch?

‘Our Lady of Kazan', a painting of the Virgin and Child, was discovered in the ashes of a fire in the Russian town of Kazan on 8th July, 1579. The icon quickly became associated with miracles after two blind men were said to have their sight restored by standing in front of it. The original was stolen in 1904, but the copies still represent one of Russia's most important pieces of religious art - credited by some with thwarting Napoleon's invasion of 1812. In this episode, Rebecca, Arion and Olly interrogate the reportage that continues to promote the ‘miracles' performed by the painting; reveal Hermann Goering's role in the fascinating 20th century history of the work; and recall a religious image of squirting milk that, once seen, cannot be unseen...

For Patrons only for 1 year: We follow the tribulations of the Papacy through the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, as the Pope's loyal soldiers in the Jesuit order are expelled from Catholic states and empires, the Church comes under attack in the French Reovlution, and Napoleon takes the Pope prisoner. We then follow the Papacy's gradual recovery of prestige -- through the reactionary rigorism of Pius IX and the 1st Vatican Council; the creation of Catholic social teaching and the intervention of the Church in the class struggle between capital and labor under Leo XIII; and the dramatic reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. We consider the controversies and scandals of the modern church relating to fascism, the Nazi Holocaust, the Vatican Bank, and the suppression of Liberation Theology, and finally, examine the recent shakeup of the Vatican under Pope Francis, the momentous implications of the Synod on Synodality, and the clues presaging a new political assertiveness of the Church under the first American pope, Leo XIV.

The June jobs number looks stronger than it really is I want to be clear; I wouldn't say this was a bad report, but the headline number that showed an addition of 147,000 jobs in the month of June doesn't show the full picture. The number did come in well above the estimate for 110,000 jobs and it follows upward revisions in the months of April and May that have totaled 16,000 jobs, but the concerning part I saw was government accounted for 73,000 new jobs in the month of June. This did not come from the federal government as that actually saw a decline of 7,000 jobs, but rather it was state and local governments which added a combined 80,000 jobs in the month, most of which came from education. The speculation is that this had something to do with seasonal adjustments and that obviously gains of that magnitude will not continue moving forward. Other areas that were strong included healthcare and social assistance, which was up 58,600, leisure and hospitality, which was up 20,000, and construction, which was up 15,000. Many of the other areas in the report were quite muted and manufacturing and professional and business services actually saw a decline of 7,000 jobs each in the month. There was good news on the unemployment rate as it ticked down to 4.1%, which was the lowest level since February and came in below the expectation for 4.3%. Unfortunately, this largely came due to the decline in the labor force participation rate, which dropped to 62.3%. This was the lowest level since late 2022. The problem here is the working age population continues to shrink, while the retirement population continues to grow. In fact the prime working age participation rate was recently near a record high of 83%. A potential problem to future job growth is the fact that we are running low on workers in their prime. This report largely erased any chance of a Fed rate cut in July, but I would say there was more positive news on the inflation front as average hourly earnings saw a manageable year over year increase of 3.7%. As I said, this wasn't a bad report and in fact I would say it continues to show that the labor market is in a good spot for the most part, but it definitely wasn't an overly strong report in my opinion.   Job openings remain strong The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, also known as the JOLTs report, showed job openings rose 374,000 in the month of May to 7.769 million. This easily topped the estimate of 7.3 million and it also comes during a month where layoffs declined 188,000 to 1.601 million. While this is positive for the economy and shows the labor market remains resilient, it does hurt the chances of a July cut from the Federal Reserve. Fed chair Powell during a panel said, ““In effect, we went on hold when we saw the size of the tariffs and essentially all inflation forecasts for the United States went up materially as a consequence of the tariffs.” With the labor market staying strong and many Fed members likely waiting for more data on how tariffs are impacting inflation, I would be surprised to see a cut in July. Although there have been a couple members saying a cut in July is possible, I still believe it would come as a surprise as many other members have expressed their desire to remain patient. I can see the case for a July cut, but I believe it is more likely we will see one in a couple months at the next meeting in September, if inflation remains in check.   Why did Apple produce the new movie F1? Apple is obviously known for the iPhone, the iPad and the Mac, but a top producer of mega hit movies, not so much. Since 2019 they have tried to produce big hit movies like Killers of the Flower Moon in 2023 that starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, but the world box office receipts were only $159 million. Another hit movie they tried for that ended up as their top movie in 2023 was Napoleon with $221 million in box office receipts. So why did Apple agree to spend almost $250 million more to produce F1, which stars Brad Pitt? No one seems to understand. Brad Pitt will be paid $20 million for this movie and will get a cut of the films revenue if it's a hit. It does have some chance for success since it was directed by Joe Kosinski and produced by Jerry Buckheimer, who were successful with Top Gun Maverick as that movie grossed $1.5billion in 2022. This past weekend F1 was the top box office hit with $55.6 million, but it appears to be struggling with the mass audience as most viewers were older men like myself who love cars and racing. I have not seen the movie yet but would like to soon. Apple seems to struggle in this space as it is spending billions of dollars annually but continues to lose on the development of hit movies. Apple TV+ only has roughly 27,000,000 subscribers and is known for subscribers canceling their subscription after watching a particular show or movie. Netflix has a 2% cancellation rate while Apple's is 6% in any given month. It's also interesting to note that the big movie production house Warner Brothers is responsible for distributing F1 and will receive a percentage of box office revenue that increases as ticket sales rise. There is some concern that in less than two weeks, Warner Brothers will be releasing their hit movie Superman and that could override the promotion of F1. If you want to see the movie F1 and you have Apple Pay you can get a discount on the tickets, which is something Apple has never done before. I won't make any judgments on the movie till I see it myself, but I don't see this boosting the lagging stock price of Apple and I do not understand why they're in the movie business.   Don't be fooled by ultra-high-income ETF's I wouldn't think I would have to warn people that if you're being offered a yield of 100% or more on a fund, the risk has to be extremely high and there is probably a good chance for loss. However, with that said this year alone $6.4 billion of new money has been placed into these high-risk funds that I assume are unsuspecting buyers who don't really understand how these funds work. Regulatory filings show that at least 95% of these ETFs are held by individual investors or small financial advisors. The way they generate this high income is by trading options contracts on a single stock. It is misleading how they come up with those ultra-high yields of 100% plus as they take the ETF's payout from option trading in the most recent month then multiply it by 12 and divide it by the fund's net asset value. As an example, we can go back to November 2022 when a fund called the YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF (TSLY) sold options on Tesla stock and promoted the yield was 62.8%. The fund has now dropped down to under $9 a share, roughly a 80% drop in the fund. This is somewhat surprising to most since during that timeframe Tesla stock is up around 70%. Sometimes people think just because there's income or a nice yield that the fund is safer, but investors should remember that in most cases, the higher the yield the higher the risk.   Financial Planning: Pension lump sum vs monthly income? When deciding between taking a pension benefit as a lump sum or monthly payments, it's helpful to compare the guaranteed income stream to the return you'd need on the lump sum to generate the same income yourself. Monthly payments offer steady, reliable income for life, essentially acting like a personal pension annuity, but most pensions do not include inflation adjustments, meaning the purchasing power of those payments may decline over time. Additionally, choosing a joint life annuity to continue payments to a surviving spouse will offer a lower monthly amount compared to a single life annuity. Since Social Security income drops when the first spouse passes, a joint annuity is usually more appropriate than a single life annuity to help maintain household income for the surviving spouse. In contrast, rolling over the lump sum into a retirement account gives you full control and the potential for growth. It also provides flexibility to structure income in a tax-efficient way allowing you to manage taxable distributions around other income sources, perform Roth conversions, or plan for inheritances and legacy goals. To make an apples-to-apples comparison, it is helpful to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) you'd need to earn on the lump sum to replicate the monthly pension payments over your expected lifetime. For example, if your lump sum is $500,000 and your pension offers $3,000/month for life, you'd need to earn a little over 5% on the lump sum to match that income.  Keep in mind, the lump sum is also an income source and this return calculation can help clarify whether the guaranteed income or potential flexibility and growth better align with your overall financial plan.   Companies Discussed: The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionWe cover Napoleon's sneaky invasion of Spain, its preamble and Napoleon's motivations. This is followed by a look at Wellington's invasion of Portugal and the battles of Rolica and Vimeiro, which lead to the French surrender of Portugal via the Convention of Cintra.The Spanish royal family is an arguement against traditional monarchy.  Napoleon despises them and Manuel Godoy, the sausage making, Prince of the Peace.  Napoleon wants to make Spain great again and believes he has a working formula.  However, the result is disaster.  The culmination is the defeat of Dupont at Bailen, which results in the French retreating out of Spain up to the line of the Ebro.   November will see the French surge back into control, but the effect of the defeat at Bailen will reverberate throughout Europe.

The inferno ignites. Arguably the most divisive theatre of the French Revolution, it's time to return to the west. This episode is a repost of Episode 1.55 Civil War in the Vendée, exploring the dramatic outbreak of rebellion in March 1793. We'll unpack the origins of the insurrection, its initial stages, and the many debates that still divide historians. What role did religion play? How significant were the nobles? And was this truly a popular uprising? From simmering tensions to explosive violence, this episode lays the groundwork for one of the Revolution's darkest chapters. In future episodes, we'll trace the bloody rise and fall of the rebellion, and confront the horrific crimes against humanity that followed.

As we continue to make our way through the Minor Prophets, we arrive at the smallest book of prophecy, the book of Obadiah. In just 21 verses, we see God's determination to restore His people through judgment on display in the destruction of Edom. We also learn four important lessons for our lives today about the destructive nature of pride and the trustworthy sovereignty of God, our good and just Judge.Main PointsThrough judgment, God will restore His people. Lesson #1: Obadiah reminds us of the destruction of pride. Lesson #2: Obadiah reminds us that God's people are saved through judgment.Lesson #3: Obadiah reminds us that God is just and will judge; this is good news.Lesson #4: Obadiah reminds us that the eternal kingdom is the Lord's.Key TakeawaysNapoleon is known for his pride. His pride led to his destruction. Similarly, the book of Obadiah tells about the pride and fall of the Edomites. Yet it also contains a message of hope that through judgment God will restore His people.God's indictment against Edom (vv. 1-2) is sent among the nations as a warning against pride. Verses 3-4 describe the Edomites' problem: their arrogance. God promised to oppose Edom for their pride.The Lord declares total devastation will come to Edom (vv. 5-9).Verses 10-14 demonstrate how this pride from Edom has manifested toward the Israelites, their blood relatives. They should have allied with Israel but instead, they were violent toward them because of their pride. In doing so, they opposed both God and God's people.Verse 15 is a key verse. It describes a reversal of fortune. Essentially, in colloquial terms, “what goes around comes around.” God promises the Edomites will drink a cup of judgment, bringing about their own demise by their destructive actions even as God Himself judges them for rejecting Him. Thus we see the balance between human responsibility and divine sovereignty. Obadiah's prophecy was fulfilled, and quickly. The Nabateans overthrew Edom. This was the prophecy's immediate fulfillment.But the ultimate fulfillment will be Jesus' second coming when God judges all the nations—the righteous unto salvation and unrighteous unto judgment.Verses 17-21 transitions from a message of destruction to a message of hope and restoration. Though God judged His people (see the book of Amos), a remnant remains and God will restore them.God's ultimate objective is the realization of His eternal kingdom to bless His people forever.Lesson #1: Obadiah reminds us of the destruction of pride. The Noah Webster Dictionary of 1828 defines pride this way: “Pride is inordinate self-esteem; an unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, accomplishments, rank or office, which manifests itself in lofty airs, distance, reserve, and often in contempt of others.”The ultimate expression of pride is living without an understanding and declaration of our desperate need for God.The most severe manifestation is the willful rejection of the triune God and His Word. All pride leads to destruction.Yet it's inherent in our fallen nature. Even as believers, our flesh wrestles with our new self in Christ. But God in His love allows the destructive consequences of pride to humble us and bring us to repentance.Lesson #2: Obadiah reminds us that God's people are saved through judgment.We have all acted in the sin of pride in opposition to God. And we are saved through judgment—God's judgment of sin poured out on Christ in our stead.Lesson #3: Obadiah reminds us that God is just and will judge; this is good news.God will right all wrongs. And He is a better Judge than we are. Vengeance is His (Romans 12:19-21). Lesson #4: Obadiah reminds us that the eternal kingdom is the Lord's.Justice is coming. This world is not our treasure. As we sing, “Though the nations rage and kingdoms rise and fall, there is still one King reigning over all; and I shall not fear, for this truth remains—that my God is the Ancient of Days.”The greatest declaration of pride is, “Lord, I don't need You.” May our humble declaration be, “Lord, I need You.”Discussion Questions/ApplicationPersonal application:Spend some time asking the Spirit to help you identify pride in your heart. How do you see pride show up in your life on a weekly/daily basis? How do you live as though you don't need God? How do you see apathy toward God show up in your life? If you have trouble, think through a recent conflict. How did your pride play a role? Are you experiencing any destructive consequences of pride right now?Consider: Do you see a holy hatred of pride growing in your life? How? If not, how can you begin—through the Holy Spirit's power—to cultivate it more?Discuss with your community group:What wrongs are you struggling with right now, desiring to see justice prevail? How can you more fully embrace God as our Judge and trust His timing and plan in this? Share about a time when pride led to destruction in your life. What happened? How did God use the consequences of your sin to lovingly discipline you and draw you to Him? How did you see James 4:4-10 at work?Passages ReferencedJames 4:4-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 12:19-21Worship Set List: The Passion, Firm Foundation (He Won't), Nothing Else, Death Was Arrested, Lord I Need You

Maybe you’ve seen death masks of famous people like King Tut or Napoleon. But the 1888 death mask of a completely unknown teenager in Paris was used to create Resusci-Annie . . the CPR doll.

There are many lessons we are supposed to know in life:  pick up after yourself, never bet against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and most importantly, don't invade Russia in the winter.  Known as one of the greatest military disasters in history, Napoleon's invasion of Russia is often cited as a key factor in the emperor's eventual defeat.  Although the campaign actually started in June, the brutal impact of General Winter led to the devastation of the French army and ultimately contributed to the downfall of one of the greatest generals in history.  Learn more about Napoleon's Invasion of Russia and the devastation of the French Army on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. ***5th Anniversary Celebration RSVP*** Sponsors Newspapers.com Get 20% off your subscription to Newspapers.com Mint Mobile Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

Napoleon's younger sister, Paolina Bonaparte, married Prince Camillo Borghese in 1803. One year later the prince commissioned Antonio Canova to carve his new wife as the mythological goddess of chastity, Diana. The licentious Paolina laughed off the suggestion claiming that no one would be believe her a virgin and chose to be represented scandalously as the semi-nude Venus instead. 

From abandoned palaces to Revolutionary executions, this Q&A dives into five gripping questions from the community! Why didn't Louis XVI flee during the October Days of 1789?
