Deuteronomy 33 records Moses' message and blessings for each of the 12 tribes and contains wise words of instruction and warning. These words speaks of events to be seen in the latter days that are specific for each tribe. Verses 2-5 are prophetic and is in the Hebrew text in the future tense. Compare Habakuk chapter 3. Seir is the territory of Edom and relates to the time described in Isaiah 63:1-6. Mount Paran is in the south, in the Negev, and we are being presented with the March of the rainbowed angel of Revelation 10. Verse 3 prophetically relates to the same events described in Psalm 68. Of Reuben Moses tells of an increasing in numbers for that tribe. Verse 7 speaks of Judah. We know that this tribe was to be the progenitor of our Lord Jesus Christ – as Micah 5:2 declares. An interesting exercise is to compare Jacob's last day prophecies in Genesis 49 with those of Moses in this chapter. Contemplate the description of Judah's king in verses 8-12 of Genesis 49. Verses 8-11 of Deuteronomy 33:8-11 tell of blessings upon Levi for that tribe's faithfulness to their God at the time of the incident of the golden calf. This, too, was a mirror of their zeal for the LORD at the time of Israel's corrupting of themselves at Baal Peor – Phinehas led the tribe by his example then. The Urim and Thummim relate to the righteous divine judgments in which Yahweh aided and directed the outcome. Phinehas put his love of the LORD above natural family ties and as a result he was promised a priesthood in the kingdom age – Malachi 2 verses 4-7. For his and his tribe's faithfulness the Levites were entrusted with the responsibility to teach Israel the testimonies of their Sovereign. Benjamin's blessing relates to the proximity of his tribe's habitat being on the border of Judah and sharing of the metropolis of the kingdom age – Jerusalem. Verses 14-18 contain the longest of the blessings, which were upon Joseph, the head of the one whose life marked him as separate from his brothers. Joseph may well be the greatest type of Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. Joseph is blessed with the double inheritance as his father elevated him to the position of the firstborn son. Likewise though Adam was the firstborn son of God, Luke 3:38, our Lord was given the place of the firstborn as Is prophesied in Psalm 89 verses 26-29. Verse 16 describes the blessing of knowing Yahweh our God in the revelation that was made to Moses by the angel who abode in the bush – Exodus 3:13-18 compare with Acts 7:30-34. The reference to the ten thousands from this tribe is an allusion to Psalm 68:13-21. Verses 18-21 speak of Zebulon, meaning dwelling, being blessed with an inheritance by the Mediterranean Sea and the treasures of the sand may relate to the extensive gas fields found adjacent to this region. The worshippers arriving at this haven by ship will come from there to worship the King in Jerusalem – the mountain of the LORD as Psalm 48 reveals. Verses 20-21 tell of Gad's troop being the protectors of the Promised Land. Verse 22 shows Dan to be the vindicator – the exactor of vengeance upon Yahweh's foes. Verse 23 outlines how Naphtali will carry the burdens of the blessings that will be brought to the nation from the abundance of the Gentiles – Isaiah 60 verses 9-11 reveals this. The lake mentioned is the Dead Sea in southern Israel. and this tribe may accompany the worshippers on their way to the house of prayer for all nations. Verses 24-25 speak of Asher, whose name means “blessed”, or “happy” being blessed with abundance. The mineral wealth in this tribal allotment is enormous. The mineral deposits in the Dead Sea region are among the largest know deposits on earth. Verses 26-29 enumerate the boundless blessings to the nation. The greatest of these blessings is to have the the Eternal God as our Father and be supported day by day in His caring, but mighty, arms. With Him we experience incomparable blessings throughout our live. And we live in this blessed assurance. Chapter 34 of Deuteronomy is not written by Moses as it speaks of his death and the physical condition of his body at the time he is laid to sleep. From the top of Mount Pisgah Moses views the Promised Land. He saw it through eyes that were enhanced and allowing him to see the entire land – this was not physically possible from that location. He rests awaiting the time that the angel will raise him from his sleep so that he also inherit the home of his constant yearnings. He dies as a vigorous man of 120 years in age. His natural vitality was strong and his eyesight undimmed. Israel mourned his decease for a month. And Joshua succeeded Moses as leader of the LORD's people – by the Almighty's divine appointment and with the blessing of Moses. No like prophet ever arose Isaiah 6 tells of Isaiah's calling to be a prophet of Yahweh and his being appointed to that role. He is called as a youth and he protests his unsuitability of carrying out a challenging mission to a rebellious and unheeding nation. In fact the message that he is taking to the nation of Judah would produce an increase in their hostility. As well as his claim to be but a youth we have evidences of that work lasting for 89 years. The prophet begins his service in the year of the great earthquake when king Uzziah died – BC 796. That king had usurped the office of the High Priest and the LORD struck him with leprosy as he was attempting to offer the incense. Uzziah is driven from the Temple as one of the region's greatest earthquakes of all time is unleashed. In contrast with that event the prophet beholds Yahweh of armies enthroned in His Temple. This glorious vision of the king-priest Messiah is symbolic of our Lord Jesus Christ's kingdom reign at his second advent. Matthew tells us this in chapter 13 verses 10-17. The purpose of parables, we are told, was to bewilder the shallow and the sceptical; but to enlighten the hearers who are seeking enlightenment. Verses 9-10 of Isaiah's sixth chapter are cited. At the shaking of the Temple from the great earthquake Isaiah himself physically trembled at this display of raw power from the Almighty. The prophet declares his own unworthiness to even behold this vision, let alone be asked to be his representative. The seraphim appear to be a combination of the cherubic figures of Ezekiel and the flashing of burning fire from the symbolic creatures which Isaiah saw. The Hebrew word derives from a word meaning burning ones. A coal of fire from the smoking incense altar is placed on the prophet's tongue and he is told that there is no need for fears as his iniquity is taken away by God whose Word has purged his sins. The necessary preparation for Isaiah to proclaim the LORD's message. Isaiah is thus commissioned as a prophet of Yahweh and on behalf of his Sovereign he would take the message placed into his mouth by divine inspiration to the nation of Israel. Sadly that generation of Israelites was largely uneffected. Likewise Messiah's message failed to effect the majority of people in his age. So our Lord Jesus spoke in parables. The Apostle John speaks of this in John 12verses 32-33 when our Lord Jesus prophesied his own lifting up in crucifixion. Paul tells us that this was a great stumbling stone for the Jews as we read in  1 Corinthians 1:23. In Colossians 3 verses 1-4 tells us that since we have through the act of baptism been raised in him to a new life our thoughts and actions should be in harmony with this. And so from verses 5-9 all those past behaviours are to find no place among believers. Our new self is being renewed every day through our growth in understanding what it means to be “in Christ”. From verses 12-17 the focus of the believer's mind and actions is to centre on living with (and as) Christ. From verses 18 to the chapter's end he addresses the different groups within Christian households and advises on proper behaviour. Chapter 4 continues with instructions for masters and servants – such an important topic as five sixths of the Roman world were slaves. Verses 2-4 is a request to those at Colossae to pray for Paul's preaching. Verse 5 tells that their speech and behaviour must be sincere at all times – “seasoned with salt”. Verses 7-17 conclude with final greetings. Verse 18 tells us that the letter was written by Paul in his own handwriting.

Deuteronomy 27 commands Israel that when they enter the land the nation should be assembled together at Shechem – which means the burden bearer. This town has an incredible history from the time Joshua gathered the nation to this location as soon as the major conquests of the land had been completed until the advent of our Lord Jesus' visit as John 4 records. The village lies in a valley between two mountains – Ebal and Gerazim. Six tribes were to stand upon each of these mountains to hear the reciting of Deuteronomy chapters 27 and 28. The curses for disobedience are found in chapter 27 and the blessings for obedience in chapter 28. Before this happens large stones were whitewashed and the words of the curses and the blessings were written on them. These were to be a record to remind the Israelites of the LORD's favour and goodness in bringing the people into the Promised Land. Additionally an altar of unhewn stones was to be built on Mount Ebal – the mountain of cursing. We, perhaps, puzzle that it should be the mountain of cursing where God's altar was to be. Why? Perhaps since the curses become more prominent in the nation's subsequent history as Joshua would point out towards the end of his life – Joshua 24 verses 18-22. Sacrifices were offered on Yahweh's altar. It is interesting to note that the confusing worship of the Samaritans had its focus on Mount Gerazim (John 4 verses 20). The tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin were to stand on Mount Gerazim. On Mount Ebal stood the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulon, Dan and Naphtali. The Levites were to recite in a loud voice all the curses and the blessings. After each curse the people of Israel were to audibly respond with the word “Amen”. Think about that as we find that word in chapter in each of the verses from 15-32. In past ages it was normal practice for each member of the congregation in our ecclesias to audibly say “Amen” as a sign of accord with what had been said. It meant that we were participating in the prayer and agreeing that the prayer was not just for the praying brother, but that it was our prayer. And so we said “Amen” meaning ‘so be it'..

It meant that we were participating in the prayer and agreeing that the prayer was not just for the praying brother, but that it was our prayer. And so we said “Amen” meaning ‘so be it'.. Song of Solomon chapter 7 is in two parts. In verses 1-9a the groom continues from the last verse of chapter 6 in his praise of his bride. This song starts in the concluding words of the sixth chapter. The groom speaks of his soulmate in metaphors describing her feet, her thighs, her navel, her belly, her breasts, her neck, her eyes, her nose, her head, the locks of her hair, her poise and her pleasantries. He knows her every part. Just as our Lord Jesus Christ intimately knows everything about us. And we must come to know him just as we are known – John 17 verses 3-8; 1 Corinthians 13 verses 9-13. In verses 9b-13 the bride responds by declaring that she finds her groom to be desirable in every respect. In verses 11-13 she wholeheartedly gives herself to him in enraptured love. Acts 23 tells of Paul before the Sanhedrin. In a similar way to when our Lord Jesus Christ appears before them, the hearing commences with an illegality from the High Priest, Ananias. That corrupt priest commands that the Apostle be smitten on the cheek – this is contrary to the Law of Moses. Paul reacts to this violation by saying that God would in His time smite the high priest. For this answer Paul is rebuked by those of the Council. The Apostle says he had not recognised the high priest. This seems unusual as in Acts 9 this high priest had given letters to Paul authorising the persecution at Damascus. Some such as Ramsay have suggested Paul's eyesight was poor, due to malaria possibly contracted on his first missionary journey. Others suggest that this is in fact a rebuttal of the high priest's right to hold that office. Paul undoubtedly had poor eyesight as many of his letters attest eg Galatians 6:11. The Apostle sees the impossibility of him getting a fair trial and so he divides the Council on the question of the teaching of the Scriptures regarding the raising of the dead. Verse 8 tells us of the difference in teaching between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Verse 10 informs us that the disagreement became violent. Paul is once again rescued. Paul's sister's son learns of a plot to assassinate Paul and informs the chief captain. The chief captain immediately responds by sending Paul to Felix the Roman Governor in Caesarea with a heavily armed escort – a journey of two days. This heavily armed company carry with them a letter explaining why the Chief Captain has taken these measures. Chapter 24 speaks of Paul before Felix and of the flattering orator the Jews hired to prosecute the Apostle. The Apostle defends each charge magnificently. Paul points out that he came to Jerusalem for worship and to bring charitable gifts for his nation. The aged Apostle also is a Pharisee. The Pharisaic teachings were an allowable teaching among the Jews. Felix finds himself in a difficult place having some understanding of the teachings of the Way (an early name for believers in Christ Jesus). Felix detains Paul not wanting to fall out of favour with the Jews. Paul is provided with protection and liberty. Having heard of Paul's bringing charity to his fellow Jews Felix hopes to secure a bribe. Felix becomes very disturbed knowing that since he understands the reality of the coming judgment and that he would be subject to the judgment of God. Felix's life makes it certain that he will be rejected when that judgment comes. After two years Rome replaces Governor Felix with Governor Festus. Festus maintains Paul's imprisonment to please the Jews.

Het wordt tijd om de woestijn achter ons te laten. De lente hangt in de lucht en kan elk moment doorbreken. En een droge, woeste woestijn, nee die past daar niet zo bij. Maar er is nog een tekst van die Jezus die veertig dagen de woestijn in ging. 40 dagen en daarna de beproever, de satan, tegenkwam. En met het antwoord dat Jezus toen gaf liet hij de woestijn achter zich, net als wij. Luister nu de nieuwste aflevering van Gelukkig De Mens: Verhalen uit de woestijn deel 7 via Spotify, Pocket casts, Apple podcasts, www.gelukkigdemens.nl/174-verhalen-uit-de-woestijn-deel-7 in je eigen podcastapp. PS: Heb jij nou altijd al eens synoptische evangeliën willen vergelijken? Kom dan een keer naar Dopersduin en maak er een mooi weekend van www.dopersduin.nl! Marcus 1:12-13 Meteen daarna dreef de Geest Hem de woestijn in. Veertig dagen bleef Hij in de woestijn, waar Hij door Satan op de proef werd gesteld. Hij leefde er te midden van de wilde dieren, en engelen dienden Hem. Matteus 4:1- 11 Daarna werd Jezus door de Geest meegevoerd naar de woestijn om door de duivel op de proef gesteld te worden. Nadat Hij veertig dagen en veertig nachten had gevast, had Hij grote honger. Toen kwam de beproever naar Hem toe en zei: ‘Als U de Zoon van God bent, beveel die stenen dan in broden te veranderen.' Maar Jezus gaf hem ten antwoord: ‘Er staat geschreven: “De mens leeft niet van brood alleen, maar van ieder woord dat klinkt uit de mond van God.”' Vervolgens nam de duivel Hem mee naar de heilige stad, zette Hem op het hoogste punt van de tempel en zei tegen Hem: ‘Als U de Zoon van God bent, spring dan naar beneden. Want er staat geschreven: “Zijn engelen zal Hij opdracht geven om U op hun handen te dragen, zodat U uw voet niet zult stoten aan een steen.”' Jezus antwoordde: ‘Er staat ook geschreven: “Stel de Heer, uw God, niet op de proef.”' De duivel nam Hem opnieuw mee, nu naar een zeer hoge berg. Hij toonde Hem alle koninkrijken van de wereld in al hun pracht en zei: ‘Dit alles zal ik U geven als U zich voor mij neerwerpt en mij aanbidt.' Daarop zei Jezus tegen hem: ‘Ga weg, Satan! Want er staat geschreven: “Aanbid de Heer, uw God, vereer alleen Hem.”' Daarna liet de duivel Hem met rust, en meteen kwamen er engelen om Hem te dienen. Toen Jezus hoorde dat Johannes gevangengenomen was, week Hij uit naar Galilea. Hij keerde niet terug naar Nazaret, maar ging in Kafarnaüm wonen, aan het meer, in het gebied van Zebulon en Naftali. Zo moest in vervulling gaan wat gezegd is door de profeet Jesaja: ‘Land van Zebulon en Naftali, gebied aan het meer en aan de overkant van de Jordaan, Galilea van de heidenen, luister: Het volk dat in duisternis leefde, zag een schitterend licht, en zij die woonden in de schaduw van de dood werden door het licht beschenen.' Vanaf dat moment begon Jezus zijn verkondiging. ‘Kom tot inkeer,' zei Hij, ‘want het koninkrijk van de hemel is nabij!' Toen Hij langs het meer liep, zag Hij twee broers, Simon, die Petrus genoemd wordt, en zijn broer Andreas. Ze wierpen hun net uit in het meer, het waren vissers. Hij zei tegen hen: ‘Kom, volg Mij, Ik zal van jullie vissers van mensen maken.' Ze lieten meteen hun netten achter en volgden Hem. Even verderop zag Hij twee andere broers, Jakobus, de zoon van Zebedeüs, en zijn broer Johannes. Ze waren met hun vader in hun boot bezig met het herstellen van de netten. Hij riep hen en meteen lieten ze de boot en hun vader Zebedeüs achter en volgden Hem. Hij trok rond in heel Galilea; Hij gaf de mensen onderricht in hun synagogen, verkondigde het goede nieuws over het koninkrijk en genas iedere ziekte en elke kwaal onder het volk. Het nieuws over Hem verspreidde zich in heel Syrië. Allen die ergens aan leden en gekweld werden door een ziekte of door pijn, en ook bezetenen en maanzieken en verlamden, werden bij Hem gebracht en Hij genas hen. En grote groepen mensen volgden Hem, uit Galilea en de Dekapolis, uit Jeruzalem en Judea en uit het gebied aan de overkant van de Jordaan.

Numbers chapter 2 describes the arrangement of the camp of Israel. Everything that their Sovereign gave to His people Israel was orderly and purposeful. Even in what might seem to be simple matters there were divine principles being taught to the Almighty's family. Each tribe had its banner, or flag. Three tribes camped on each side of the central Sanctuary, where the Tabernacle was located. The three tribes grouped on the eastern side of the Tabernacle under the flag of Judah – the lion – were Judah, at the head, and Issachar and Zebulon. On the southern side encamped a further three tribes under the standard of Reuben, the man, these were – Reuben, Simeon and Gad. The order stated for the tribes and for the furniture and tent of the Tabernacle was for camping and setting forth; as verse 34 tells us. What this chapter does not tell us is that the ark of the covenant led the Israelites on their journeying(Numbers 10:33-36).

What this chapter does not tell us is that the ark of the covenant led the Israelites on their journeying (Numbers 10:33-36). Psalm 145 is a Psalm of David which could be titled as, “I will extol you my God and my King”. Verses 1 to 3 tell of our Sovereign's greatness and of the worthiness of praising His Name. Verses 3 to 7 speak of each subsequent generation of God's people would relate His awesome deeds and extol and praise their LORD. Verses 8 and 9 summarise the character of the Almighty, “Yahweh is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in stedfast love. Yahweh is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made” (ESV). Compare these thoughts with the LORD's revealing, to Moses, His Name and what it meant (Exodus 34 verses 5to 7). The Psalmist proclaims that the remembrance of this would continue to cause the people of God to praise Him and acclaim His greatness. Psalm146 deals with the powerlessness of every human regardless of their supposed status and power . The prophet Isaiah also commented on this, “Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?” (Isaiah 2 verse 22, ESV). We must praise God while we have breath. Hezekiah tells us this following his miraculous healing from leprosy. The Almighty extended Hezekiah's life by 15 years. And the king's response was, “For Sheol does not thank You; death does not praise You; those that go down to the pit do not hope for Your faithfulness. The living, the living, he thanks You as I do this day; the father makes known to the children Your faithfulness” Isaiah 38 verses 18 and 19 (ESV). There is no consciousness in death as verses 3-4 state. Thought ceases when we breathe out our last breath. What a contrast to the Omnipotent Creator, the Maker of heaven and earth. When our Sovereign stoops to aid the powerless no power in heaven or earth can resist Him. Verse 8 tells us that He particularly takes up the cause of the widows and the fatherless (Psalm 68 verses 5 and 6; and so must we James 1 verse 27). But the wicked will be dealt with speedily. Praise our God forever you citizens of Zion. Let all generations to come praise Him. Hallelujah. Psalm 147 tells us that our God is the One who heals the broken hearted. Verses 1-3 celebrate the care of our Heavenly Father in gathering the outcasts. The awesome power of the Creator is told in verses 4-5; as He knows each star by name. Verse 6 tells of His gentleness. What a wonderful combination of characteristics are present with our God. Hannah spoke of them in her prayer recorded in 1 Samuel 2 verses 1 to 10. In Psalm 147 verse 7 the faithful are called upon to offer thanksgiving to their Sovereign. Once again verses 8-10 blend His great power and His disdain for human pride. What He asks from His children is reverence and a trust for His stedfast love. Verses 12 to 20 tell of the blessings He bestows upon His children. But note that the emphasis upon the knowing of His Word and the understanding of His ways are stressed above and beyond any of the material blessings. In Luke 12 the Lord counsels regarding the destructive teachings of the Pharisees. Our Lord Jesus says to his followers to have no fear when they are tried and killed by the religious authorities. This is because our Father has power over everything – including life and death. When giving testimony before rulers believers would be aided in their witness. In the parable in this chapter of the rich fool (based on the life of Nabal in 1 Samuel 25) our Lord refuses to arbitrate in a property dispute between two brothers. Instead Jesus turns the opportunity into a discussion about the dangers of covetousness and the need to be rich in loving service to God at all times. Christ urges the disciples to be free from anxiety. Look at nature and the Almighty's abundantly providing out of His richness. Disciples need, as wise and faithful servants, to be in a state of continual readiness for their Lord's coming. A constant challenge for disciples is that often times family opposition will be the result of a person's acceptance of Christ. As disciples we must be alert to the era in which we live. Our Master is standing at the doorpost of our hearts and knocking: Revelation 3:20-21. Finally if believers find themselves in a dispute they need to quickly reach agreement with their adversaries or the results may be much worse.

Genesis 48 tells of the nearing of Israel's death and his blessing both sons of Joseph in faith. The writer to the Hebrews comments on this in chapter 11 verse 21. Israel recounted God's faithfulness to Joseph and his grandsons – Ephraim and Manasseh – before giving his blessings. He relates that his Egyptian-born grandsons are as acceptable to him as his own sons. When Joseph brought the boys to Israel (their grandfather) the hands of Israel were crossed to place his right hand on the younger, Ephraim; and his left hand upon Manasseh, the older of the 2. Joseph objected. Israel told him to let it be, since he knew what he was doing. Ephraim would, said Israel, be the greater of the boys (indeed history shows Ephraim came to rulership over 10 of the 12 tribes). Read slowly and carefully the words of verses 15-16 and meditate on the meaning of the message. In chapter 49 Israel blessed all 12 of his sons. He never avoids the issues within his family – he tells it as it is. Where rebuke is needed it is given. Reasons are presented for the decisions he made about the positions of authority and headship within his family. But notice what he speaks of related to the future of these tribes. Reuben is denounced for his adultery with his father's wife and usurpation of Israel's authority. Simeon and Levi are scathingly criticised for their cruelty and self will regarding their slaying of the Shechemites. Judah, who had lately shown wonderful qualities of leadership would be the brother praised by his brothers. His would be the kingship perpetually and to him in the Kingdom would the Gentiles be gathered and blessed. From him came Shiloh (meaning “peaceable” – speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ; the peace bringer Isaiah 9 verses 6-7). Jesus Christ is the mighty warrior, the triumphant lion of Judah. Verses 11-12 speaks of his victorious offering and his future victories. Zebulon, meaning “dwelling”, will be a sea haven, which happened in the division to the tribes of their lots for inheritance. Issachar, whose name means “reward” (or “hire”) would receive the reward of faithful servant, such as a hardworking donkey. Dan, meaning “judge”, would be the judge of the other tribes and as a serpent would bring poison to his brothers. The idols of the northern kingdom of Ephraim were set up in Dan and Bethel. At this point, halfway through his pronouncements, Israel exclaims that he cannot wait for Yahweh to bring His salvation. From “the troop – Gad – raiders would come. Asher would be a “blessing” and become the great granary of the Promised Land. Naphtali would be as graceful as a doe in stride. Joseph's blessing, from verses 22-26 is the longest. This is fitting for the favourite son, who is, perhaps, one of the greatest types in the Old Testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the true and faithful son throughout all of his trials. To him came the blessing of the double portion of the firstborn – both Ephraim and Manasseh received a tribal inheritance in the Land. Joseph was the brother “separate” (a kindred word to that of the Nazarite) from his brothers – as indeed was our Lord, who alone from all other humans was free of sin. Benjamin (the “son of the right hand”) would be a mighty conquering warrior at the time of the end. This again speaking of Christ's conquests which begin before his kingdom reign. The chapter finishes with Israel's death, embalming (an elaborate process, which took 40 days) and burial. He was taken with a great crowd of mourners to his Promised Land and buried with his faithful family in the cave of Machpelah. He together with them sleeps awaiting a glorious resurrection and the receiving of his eternal inheritance. Those who saw the massive procession of mourners said that it must have been a sad occasion for the Egyptians. Verses 15-21 tell us that Joseph's brothers expected him to take vengeance against them now that Israel was dead. Instead he comforted and consoled them as Jesus will do for his Jewish brothers when he is revealed to them in his kingdom – see Zechariah chapters 12 and 13). The final verses tell of Joseph's remarkable hope and the promise he received from his family to carry him to the Promised Land. “God will surely visit you”, a theme taken up in the early chapters of Exodus and Ruth. We need to ponder the personal message to us from Zechariah (the father of John the Baptist) in Luke 1 verses 68-79). Psalm 51 is another from the pen of David; and this psalm together with the 32nd were written about his sufferings, conscience and great relief when forgiven. The sins for which he sought (and found) forgiveness were his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. Yahweh's mercy and loving kindness were extended to David, because of his genuine contrition and totally forsaking of his sins. Ultimately any sin is principally against the LORD. We need to recognise the lie we say to ourselves, I have not been caught out – no one has seen what I did – God did and always does. Paul explains in Romans 4 of the mercy and forgiveness of our Sovereign – chapter 4 verses 5-8. David acknowledged the sinful tendency of his human condition. But for those who confess that they are wrong and God is right forgiveness will be found (Romans 3 verses 21-26). Verse 6 tells that the inner David delighted in God's law (see Romans 7 verses 21-25). The psalmist beseeches the LORD to remove his sins. When this is done he will worship his God with a true heart and a clear conscience. David's capacity for leading the LORD's people in the way of righteousness had been greatly damaged; deeply saddening David. Upon being restored the psalmist will be at the forefront of educating sinners, such as himself. His mouth will be filled with thankfulness and praise. No sacrifice could atone for David's wrongs; and, yet in love His God would forgive and encourage him. What our LORD wants from us is a poor spirit; a broken and contrite heart. Together with the restoration of the righteous will come the restoring of Zion. At that time the world will learn the right ways of the LORD and will walk in His ways (Isaiah 2 verses 1-5, Jeremiah 3 verses 16-17). Psalm 52 is a Maschil, or teaching Psalm from David's pen. It speaks of the steadfast and enduring loving kindness of Yahweh our God. The boasting evildoers will be dealt with by our God. The deceitful tongue will be silenced. Let us examine our words before they are said; and swallow them if they are not edifying. This will fill the just with courage and embolden them in their speech. The righteous will scorn the attitude of the arrogant. Fancy putting your trust in riches, rather than in the Living God. In their trusting the just will prosper now in what truly matters and will flourish in the Kingdom in the presence of their God. Romans 5 Paul enumerated the blessings of justification and the process in life which we go through to bring us to our God. He pointed out that the initiative came from, and also commenced with, our Father. Then he elaborated the problem produced by our Adamic heritage – not our fault, but our misfortune – and contrasts this with the boundless blessings and benefits for those who transferred their allegiances to our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans chapter 6 outlined the process in identification with the salvation wrought in Jesus. Baptism (burial in water) joins us symbolically to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. We no longer remain the servants of sin, but rather became slaves serving righteousness. We now are in a position to receive the gracious gift of God, rather than rightfully being rewarded by our deserts.

houghts on the readings for January 17th (Genesis 30; Psalm 34; Matthew 19) Genesis 30 tells of Rachel's exasperation in seeking children; demands from Jacob that he give her children. Rachel gives Bilhah her maid to Jacob. A son is born and named Dan (meaning “vindication”, or “judgment”) claiming that she (Rachel) has God on her side. We notice that Rachel is making this contest with her sister personal. Another son is born to Bilhah and named Naphtali – speaking of the struggle, or wrestle Rachel saw between herself and Leah. Taking up the contest Leah gives her maid, Zilpah, to Jacob. A son is produced and called Gad – meaning “a troop” – telling of another son to come. Zilpah produces a second son, who Leah names Asher (“blessed”, or “happy”). Surely Jacob would be happy with the 6 sons produced thus far by Leah and her maid. Reuben found wild mandrakes in the field; believed by the ancients to be a potential aphrodisiac and a fertility booster. Rachel asks for these and in return promises Leah access to Jacob. This results in a 5th son for Leah – named Issachar(meaning “hired” ie Jacob in exchange for the mandrakes). Leah next produced a 6th son, Zebulon – indicating “dwelling” – in the hope of Jacob becoming Leah's companion. Lastly Leah gave birth to a daughter, Dinah. Rachel is finally remembered by God and has a son Joseph – meaning “add”, or “increasing” – in the hope of having a further son. Jacob served Laban for 6 more years in order to provide for his large family. Tricky Laban during this time changed Jacob's contract 10 times. No matter how unlikely it was for Jacob to increase his herds of sheep and cattle the Almighty blessed and prospered him, as had been promised at Bethel in chapter 28. Jacob's honesty and integrity were endorsed by God in what the cattle produced. Laban's deceit and dishonesty were at this time punished by the LORD. Whilst there was some value in the selective breeding Jacob practised; there was no science behind the putting of the poplar trees before the eyes of the cattle at watering time.

Whilst there was some value in the selective breeding Jacob practised; there was no science behind the putting of the poplar trees before the eyes of the cattle at watering time. Psalm 34 is the second most quoted Psalm in the New Testament, after Psalm 110. It was written by David to praise God from his deliverance out of the hand of Abimelech (also known as Achish), the king of Gath. David had received Goliath's sword from the Tabernacle, where it had been kept. Saul and Doeg had slain the priests of Yahweh in Nob. Saul continued hunting David and in desperation David ventured into the land of the Philistines believing he would be safer there. What an incredible lapsing of discerning and, to a large degree, a forgetting of how often he had been delivered by the LORD. What foolishness to think he could slip unnoticed in Goliath's town; whilst carrying the well known sword of the deceased Philistine Champion. He was imprisoned and feigned madness to escape. Were it not for his Sovereign's providential protection David would certainly have perished. It was not his acting ability that saved David; rather it was his heartfelt humble prayer, “This poor man cried and Yahweh heard”. The first 5 verses David extols the responsiveness of the Almighty and calls upon all the faithful to join him in this exercise. The trouble of David at this time has been mentioned in the Psalm's background. Despite the seemingly impossible circumstances David was released. He had been powerless, but the angel (who was mighty in power) had encamped around him – verse 7. David had been delivered from death, but Messiah was to die; but would be brought from the grave – “out of death” (verse 20). Verses 8-9 says that all who have tasted Yahweh's loving kindness have seen that He is good to His children. The lions, even though fed from God, we're not cared for with the same love our Sovereign shows His children. God's children will experience sore trials, but these are sent to develop godliness (Hebrews 12 verses 5 to 11). Verse 11 is a plea for the 600 followers of David, who were with him in the cave of Adullam after his release from the prison in Gath, to in humility learn from his teaching. Verses 12-19 give counsel to the faithful, as to how they must respond to the LORD's providential care. This section of the Psalm finds itself extensively drawn on by Peter in chapter 2 verses 10 to12. The Psalm finished with a confidence in the deliverance of the Almighty. The keeping the unbroken bones speaks of the assurance of hope and resurrection. Joseph in faith when dying gave charge concerning his bones (Genesis 50:24-26; Exodus 12 verse 46 and verse19; 1 Peter 2 verses 21 to 25). In Matthew 19 we have one of the topics that is greatly debated among religions – divorce. In the contemporary Jewish society of Jesus' days it was so rife that men were divorcing their wives for every reason eg she burned my meal. In the time of Moses, divorce or putting away, was regulated; but even then, only for sexual impurity. God's mind on this has always been clear. Yahweh hates putting away (Malachi 2 verses10 to16). Jesus tells us that the Father's declared will from the beginning was that man and woman should cleave to each other as man and wife to the exclusion of all others as the only basis of stable family life and a prefiguring of Christ's union with his bride (Genesis 2 verses 23 to 24; Ephesians 5 verses 22 to 33). Difficultlies do arise within marriage, but both parties must persevere. Once more an incident involving children provided an opportunity for the disciples' learning. The chapter concludes with a rich young ruler, who Jesus deeply loved because of his undoubted sincerity. Nonetheless our Lord was greatly saddened by the man's incapacity to overcome his covetousness. This caused amazement to his disciples, who believed that salvation must be a hard and costly thing. Jesus, knowing their perseverance in following him promised them rulership and thrones in his coming Kingdom. Read aloud and think about that promise in verses 28-30.

karácsonyi idő Vízkereszt utáni első nap ** Mt 4,12-17.23-25 ** Amikor Jézus meghallotta, hogy Jánost kiszolgáltatták, visszavonult Galileába. Elhagyta Názáretet, elment és letelepedett a tengermenti Kafarnaumban, Zebulon és Naftali határában, hogy beteljesedjék, amit Izajás próféta mondott: Zebulon földje és Naftali földje, a tengeri út, a Jordánon túl, a pogányok Galileája; a nép, amely sötétségben ült, nagy fényt látott, s akik a halál országában és árnyékában ültek: fény virradt rájuk [Iz 8,23; 9,1]. Ekkor kezdte Jézus hirdetni és mondani: Térjetek meg, mert elközelgett a mennyek országa. Jézus ezután bejárta egész Galileát. Tanított a zsinagógáikban, hirdette az ország örömhírét, és meggyógyított minden betegséget és minden bajt a nép között. Eljutott a híre egész Szíriába, és odavitték hozzá mindazokat, akik rosszul voltak, akiket különféle betegségek és kínok gyötörtek, az ördögtől megszállottakat, holdkórosokat és a bénákat, ő pedig meggyógyította őket. Nagy tömeg követte őt Galileából és a Tízvárosból, Jeruzsálemből, Júdeából és a Jordánon túlról. |

Het kaarsje werd een zonsopgang (In deze podcast verwijs ik naar een lied van Project of Love. Je kunt het hier vinden op Spotify en hier op YouTube. Wil je meedoen aan de Advent Challenge? Kijk dan op: bijbellezenmetjan.nl/advent) Hartelijk welkom bij deze bonus-aflevering van de Bijbellezen met Jan-podcast. Op het moment dat ik dit opneem zitten we vlak voor de eerste Adventszondag van dit jaar. Heb je al nagedacht over hoe deze maand voor jou zal zijn? Misschien ben je al leuke activiteiten aan het plannen, of misschien is deze maand juist wel moeilijk omdat je iemand moet missen. Wat je situatie ook is, ik hoop dat je je troost en je vreugde bij Jezus zoekt. Wij mogen stilstaan bij het wonder dat God mens werd. Ik kan het niet mooier zeggen dan de apostel Paulus in Filippenzen. Hij, die de gestalte van God had, maakte er geen aanspraak op aan God gelijk te zijn, maar deed afstand van zijn positie en nam de gestalte aan van een dienaar. Hij werd gelijk aan de mensen, en als mens verschenen heeft Hij zich vernederd en werd gehoorzaam tot in de dood – de dood aan het kruis. Letterlijk staat er dat Jezus gelijk werd aan een slaaf. Van koning tot slaaf. Dit is wat we vieren met Advent: Jezus was bereid om voor ons slaaf te worden. Na zijn dood en opstanding werd Hij weer koning. Maar hoe leef je nu bewust toe naar de viering van de geboorte van Christus Jezus? Als je de komende tijd extra wil staan bij het wonder van Advent, doe dan mee aan de Advent Challenge 2024. Als je je inschrijft, krijg je dagelijks een Bijbeltekst, een overdenking en een link naar een bijpassend lied. De bedoeling van de overdenking en van het lied is om de Bijbeltekst nog meer in je hart te laten landen. Inmiddels hebben al veel mensen zich aangemeld en ik hoop dat jij dit ook wilt doen. Je kunt je inschrijven op https://bijbellezenmetjan.nl/advent. Als je een voorproefje wilt van deze Advent Challenge, laat me dan hier vast een overdenking met je delen. Deze is de derde overdenking in de Advant Challenge en heet ‘Het kaarsje werd een zonsopgang'. Geniet ervan. In de vorige overdenking hadden we het over de vreugde van de verlossing. Dit is vreugde die alleen God kan geven. Het is geen oppervlakkige blijdschap die komt als eb en vloed, maar diepe vreugde die stroomt als een constante rivier. Het is mijn gebed dat jij en ik deze vreugde in ons binnenste voelen stromen deze adventsperiode. Weet je waar die begint? Bij naar Jezus kijken. Bij zijn stem horen. Bij zijn aanraking voelen. Daarom heeft muziek een belangrijke plaats in deze Advent Challenge. Liederen kunnen een andere snaar raken dan ik met mijn woorden en met mijn stem kan doen. We komen in deze challenge uiteraard nog uitgebreid terug op de evangeliën. Het mooie aan deze biografieën over Jezus vind ik dat ze ons helpen om goed naar Hem te kijken. Wie is Hij? Wat heeft Hij gedaan? Zijn we veilig bij Hem? Wat wil Hij van ons? Neem de apostel Matteüs. Hij schrijft in hoofdstuk 4 van zijn evangelie over Jezus' verhuizing naar de plaats Kafarnaüm, een stad aan het Meer van Galilea: ‘Zo moest in vervulling gaan wat gezegd is door de profeet Jesaja: ‘Land van Zebulon en Naftali, gebied aan het meer en aan de overkant van de Jordaan, Galilea van de heidenen, luister: Het volk dat in duisternis leefde, zag een schitterend licht, en zij die woonden in de schaduw van de dood werden door het licht beschenen.' (Matteüs 4:14-16) Hij citeert hier Jesaja 9. Waarom? Omdat volgens hem Jezus het licht is dat Jesaja voorspelde. Zullen we eens kijken wat Jesaja over dat licht zei? Jesaja 8:21-9:6 Moedeloos en hongerig zullen de mensen door het land zwerven. Ze zullen honger lijden en in hun woede de koning en hun God vervloeken. Ze kijken omhoog of staren naar de grond, maar overal heerst verstikkende duisternis; donker en somber is het, nacht overal. En wie daardoor omsloten wordt, zal niet ontkomen. Zoals het land van Zebulon en Naftali in het verleden smadelijk bejegend is, zo wordt weldra eer bewezen aan de kuststreek, het land aan de overkant van de Jordaan en het domein van andere volken. Het volk dat in duisternis ronddoolt ziet een schitterend licht. Zij die in het donker wonen, worden door een helder licht beschenen. U hebt het volk weer groot gemaakt, diepe vreugde gaf U het, blijdschap als de vreugde bij de oogst, zij jubelen als bij het verdelen van de buit. Het juk dat op hen drukte, de stok op hun schouder, de staf van de drijver, U hebt ze verbrijzeld, zoals Midjan destijds. Iedere laars die dreunend stampte en elke mantel die doordrenkt is van bloed, ze worden verbrand, ze vallen ten prooi aan het vuur. Een kind is ons geboren, een zoon is ons gegeven; de heerschappij rust op zijn schouders. Deze namen zal hij dragen: Wonderbare raadsman, Sterke God, Eeuwige vader, Vredevorst. Groot is de heerschappij en zonder einde de vrede voor de troon van David en voor zijn koninkrijk; ze zijn gegrondvest op recht en gerechtigheid en staan vast voor altijd en eeuwig. De HEER van de hemelse machten brengt dit in zijn vurige liefde tot stand. Jezus is Gods licht De profeet Jesaja leefde in een donkere tijd. De twaalf stammen zijn uiteengevallen in twee koninkrijken. Het is de tijd waarin het zuidelijke Juda en het noordelijke Israël het regelmatig met elkaar aan de stok hadden. Het geestelijke verval was enorm. Assyrië stond op het punt om de tien stammen in het noorden te verslaan en weg te voeren. Iets meer dan een eeuw later was het de beurt aan de inwoners van Juda om in ballingschap te worden meegenomen. Toen waren de Babyloniërs de boosdoeners. Je kunt dus wel stellen dat de nakomelingen van Abraham, Isaak en Jakob op een dieptepunt waren beland. Erger dan dit kon niet. En God voorzegt via zijn woordvoerder Jesaja wat er gaat gebeuren, omdat Hij weet dat ze niet tot inkeer zullen komen. Tegelijkertijd belooft Hij ook een ommekeer in hun situatie. ‘Het volk dat ronddoolt in het duister, zal een licht zien', zegt Hij. De duisternis slaat natuurlijk op hun moeilijke omstandigheden. De mensen zouden honger, gevangenschap en ander lijden meemaken. Later zou God hen uit deze duistere omstandigheden bevrijden door hen te laten terugkeren uit de ballingschap. Dit waren lichamelijke omstandigheden, zou je kunnen zeggen. In de tijd van Jezus was Israël weliswaar bezet door de Romeinen, maar ze hadden het toch een stuk beter dan hun voorouders. Matteüs zegt echter dat ook zij zich in het duister bevinden. Ze hebben geestelijk honger. Ze zitten geestelijk gevangen. Ze ervaren geestelijke duisternis. God verdrijft die duisternis ook. Hoe? Door zijn Zoon te sturen. Hij is Gods licht. Licht van de verlossing Het licht waar Jesaja over spreekt, is symbolisch voor de verlossing. De duisternis gaat over de periode waarin het volk van God afgescheiden leek, door hun eigen zonden en door de periode van oordeel (ballingschap). Uiteindelijk zou er een nieuw koningskind komen, een afstammeling van David. Het probleem is dat er na de ballingschap van Gods volk nooit meer een koning zoals David kwam. Vandaar dat de Joden in de tijd van Jezus nog altijd wachtten op een nieuwe Mozes, een nieuwe Elia, een nieuwe David – iemand die het koninkrijk van Israël weer welvarend en oppermachtig zou maken. Jesaja's profetie ging dus maar gedeeltelijk in vervulling toen het volk uit ballingschap terugkeerde. Zoals gezegd, van Jezus' leerling Matteüs leren we hoe we deze tekst echt moeten interpreteren. Jezus is het licht dat de duisternis verjaagt. Een kind is ons gegeven Jesaja gaat zelfs nog verder dan ‘licht in de duisternis'. Hij zegt dat er een kind is geboren. Nee, niet alleen geboren, maar gegeven. Jezus is Gods geschenk aan ons. Dit heeft verstrekkende gevolgen! Als er licht nodig is, dan wil dat zeggen dat het duister is om ons heen. Duisternis in de Bijbel staat symbool voor twee dingen: de zonde en de afwezigheid van God. Duisternis was het eerste dat God verjoeg op de eerste scheppingsdag. Egypte doolde bij de negende plaag drie dagen in duisternis. En vlak voordat Jezus aan het kruis stierf was het drie uur donker in het land. Daartegenin noemt Jezus zichzelf het licht van de wereld. We hebben dat licht nodig, omdat er duisternis om ons heen en in ons is. Als het hart de kamer is van je ziel, is het een donkere kamer, totdat je Jezus uitnodigt om in je hart te wonen. Dat hemelse licht kwam naar ons toe in een menselijke gedaante. Als kind zelfs. Het werd niet willekeurig geboren op een toevallige plek. Nee, het is ons gegeven. Hij was klein en zwak, zoals een waxinelichtje. Dat licht werd steeds groter en sterker. Het kaarsje dat in de kribbe scheen, werd een zonsopgang. De namen van het licht Het licht kennen wij als Jezus. Maar God gaf zijn geschenk aan ons nog andere namen. Wonderbare raadsman, Sterke God, eeuwige vader en Vredevorst. Ze betekenen dat Jezus ons altijd zal bijstaan, dat Hij een machtig God is, dat Hij voor altijd onze Vader zal zijn en dat Hij de koning is die vrede brengt. Bid voor het licht. Bid dat andere mensen het licht zullen zien. Bid dat het licht ook elke donkere plek in je hart mag verlichten. Tot slotIk hoop dat deze overdenking goed is bevallen en dat je m...

Welcome back, Alright guys today we are chatting with Brandon over at Olde Raleigh. They are doing some amazing things, they are based in North Carolina. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshaman OUR STORY The Dedication Of A Blender's Dream In January 2017, Olde Raleigh Distillery was established in Zebulon, N.C. Though at the time, the hope was to open within three to four months, Master Blender Brandon McCraney officially opened the doors four years later, in January 2021. Doing so required McCraney to overcome county change orders, a 401k liquidation and 12 lender rejections.    McCraney credits his perseverance to his military background. This, along with strong local support, helped Olde Raleigh succeed in building a business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within its first operating year, Olde Raleigh Distillery grew from a bar and tasting room, having not yet produced a batch, to a true gathering space, eventually holding celebrations for the five batches it rolled out later that year. Olde Raleigh Distillery is proud to be a part of the charge to revitalize Zebulon, NC.     About Olde Raleigh Distillery Olde Raleigh Distillery is on a mission to simply make unforgettable and damn good whiskey. With a laser focus on the art of blending and distilling spirits, our attention to detail is noticeable in every drop of our small batch bourbon blends.   Find us located in downtown Zebulon, NC, in an abandoned 10,000-square-foot brick building that we hand crafted with the same passion we do our whiskey. Our venue is a family-owned and operated distillery, tasting room and popular event space in The Triangle. We want to share our passion with you. Visit us today to taste our unique blend or book a tour to explore the art of making whiskey. Meet The Man Behind The Bourbon OUR DISTILLER & MASTER BLENDER Brandon McCraney has spent years immersing himself in the spirits industry to dissect the world of whiskey. As Blender, he hand-selects and ages each barrel using a vigorous process known as élevage to identify the perfect point in the time to harvest our distinct and flavorful small batch spirits. When not working on production or sampling barrels, he leads Olde Raleigh's workshops and Whiskey Master Classes. In the pursuit in mastering the art of blending whiskey, follow Olde Raleigh's journey as we release blended whiskies from around the world.   Brandon's role extends beyond the distillery's walls, fostering partnerships with local farmers and introducing heirloom grains in the heart of Old Tobacco country. As a Raleigh resident, he aims to build a meaningful brand that gives back to the community he loves. The goal is to showcase the positive environmental and economic impacts distilleries contribute from farm to glass. This desire to have a broad impact stemmed from his experience as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, where he proudly served for four years. Brandon's education includes a Bachelor's degree from North Carolina State University and Master's Degrees from the University of Cincinnati and Harvard University. He is a certified Executive Bourbon Steward, Whiskey Sommelier, teaches at the Whiskey Marketing School and has industry affiliations with Moonshine University, the American Distilling Institute and the U.K.'s Institute of Brewing and Distilling.   As the sole owner and operator, Brandon has his sights set on making his family name one to be reckoned with in the craft whiskey world.

“As an athlete, you have those indicators that you look at, you track, you want to gain confidence from – and those have been going very well. But it's also that belief that this is going to be a really good year. We're going to accomplish our goals. We're going to give it our best and feel proud of whatever that ends up being.”  Reigning Olympic Champion Val Allman and Coach Zebulon Sion join us live in Eugene after Val won the discus at the U.S. Olympics Trials and booked her ticket to Paris. Val breaks down the sequence of her throws at the Olympic Trials, shares about how she shifted her mindset after finishing second at the World Championships last summer, how she uses her competitors' performances as motivation to elevate her own game, and what the next couple of weeks look like for her as she prepares for Paris.  Coach Zeb shares about how he helped Val reframe pressure as a positive, breaks down Val's discus technique, and shares about the improvements Val's been able to make in the weight room.

On this episode the Lomeli brother's light a candle for Renato's 33 years and for Drake due to Kendrick's freshly new diss track, "Euphoria".

This month's patron-funded story is "The Bacteria that Evolved on the Trip to Zebulon 83" by Patrick Mannus.  It's narrated by Nobilis Reed. For an ad-free version of this podcast, support the patreon campaign. Pick up Monster Whisperer, Second Class   Charlie didn't think much of the reports of cancer-related deaths on the Zebulon-83 colony ship. They were sad to hear people had died, sure, but to Charlie, the deaths weren't personally more upsetting than the radiation-related leukemia deaths after the toxic train spill. If anything, they were more pissed about the train spill deaths because that was the government's negligence at work. The Zebulon-83 deaths seemed like just bad luck as a result of transit-related radiation exposure during cryopreservation. Charlie took slightly more notice when it came out that all the Zebulon cancers were prostate, breast, ovarian, and endometrial. Not so much because that meant anything to them scientifically speaking, but because it was just kind of odd. Charlie worked in IT, but even they could recognize that it was unusual for the cancers to cluster like that. When it came out that the cause of the unusual cancer clustering was unregulated growth of hormone-altering intestinal bacteria that had evolved during the flight to Zebulon-83, and that said same bacteria could be directed to change people's genders more effectively than any hormone supplements, Charlie sat up and took notice. They sent the article to a fellow comms satellite IT specialist. They didn't work for the same company, but even though it was a growing field, there were still few enough of them that you just knew the other commsatties. And Charlie had always kind of had a crush on Morgan. Morg. Check it out. Interesting tech coming out of that Zebulon-83 colony ship. When they'd met at a commsatty conference, which was really just a place to use illicit and non-illicit substances and talk shit about the companies they worked for and all the exploits they had over the companies if they were ever wrongfully terminated, Charlie had been drawn to Morgan. They just got the sense of a kindred spirit. When your body was not always the right fit for your soul, you could see the same mismatch in others. And Charlie had seen that in Morgan.

In many histories of Boston, African Americans have remained almost invisible. Partly as a result, when the 1972 crisis over school desegregation and busing erupted, many observers professed shock at the overt racism on display in the "cradle of liberty." Yet the city has long been divided over matters of race, and it was also home to a far older Black organizing tradition than many realize. A community of Black activists had fought segregated education since the origins of public schooling and racial inequality since the end of northern slavery.  Before Busing: A History of Boston's Long Black Freedom Struggle (UNC Press, 2022) tells the story of the men and women who struggled and demonstrated to make school desegregation a reality in Boston. It reveals the legal efforts and battles over tactics that played out locally and influenced the national Black freedom struggle. And the book gives credit to the Black organizers, parents, and children who fought long and hard battles for justice that have been left out of the standard narratives of the civil rights movement. What emerges is a clear picture of the long and hard-fought campaigns to break the back of Jim Crow education in the North and make Boston into a better, more democratic city—a fight that continues to this day.

Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber were joined by Olympic discus champion, '22 World Championship bronze medalist and '23 World Championship silver medalist Valarie Allman + coach Zebulon Sion in Budapest. Allman was favored to win the meet as the American record-holder and world leader but ended up taking silver with a 69.23m.

Just a day after the competition, Allman was already back at work and in practice.
