This was a good one. "Treason doesn't pay well in the end" BOOM (mic drop). I clean windows for a living and yesterday's client had the TV on, I don't watch TV. How people can watch the news people try to spin the Trump trials is excruciating! I felt like doing a couple shots of liquor when I left!

I love clean windows ❤️ 🪟

Whenever my mind is muddied up with too much ego babble of endless thoughts, I clean a dirty window (inside and out)….the chore provides the quieting of my mind and the beauty of a clean window restores my inner balance where appreciation for clean and beautiful washes away the dusty cloudiness of too much thinking ❤️ Cleaning in general is good therapy 😊

I agree. When I feel it getting to me, I put my phone down for the night and grab a fiction book, or the Bible.

I am compelled to do something out of the ordinary this morning.

The team at BNB provides an array of insights and expertise that center on issues and ideas that I know to be important but have chosen to prioritize as secondary or even tertiary to my specified areas of expertise. It is my observation that the same formula applies to most of those who regularly comment on these Takes.

I know for a certainty, for example, that I have spent over 5000 hours gaining a degree of understanding and expertise as it relates to the book of Revelation (and all the intra-Biblical and extra-Biblical knowledge that that requires) in just the last 18 months. A subject that I would find it hard to rank outside of the top ten topics of current interest - maybe even top three. I do not expect (in this forum, or even in what are considered mainstream Christian forums) for others to agree with my ranking of priorities or choice of endeavors. I am however, confident in my ability to address any and all questions on the subject thoughtfully and intelligently.

Pardon the personal example but I use it solely as a point of reference. It is apparent that the team of @Burning Bright, @Ashe in America, @Ghost of Based Patrick Henry, @Simon Esler, etc. (and their friends and resources) have applied themselves to the task of developing expertise in their particular fields of interest. I doubt that any of them would have the confidence to address, say the origins and arguments for the various understandings of the Week of Redemption with the Millennial "Sabbath Day" that I would have - I would at least not expect them to. As I would rather trust their expertise on areas of geopolitical conflict and Fifth Generation Warfare and Lawfare and Devolution...etc.

And just as I have more to learn of the exponential complexity associated with Biblical Prophecy, I would expect this team to continue to develop their own weapons and tactics and insights in this War of Stories. Their humility is evident and appreciated; so is their dedication and expertise.

My hope is to encourage this team to continue in the confidence of the gifts with which they have been endowed. To accept whatever criticism that may be contained in comments as either the result of the forced brevity and limitations of one-dimensional communication or as encouragement to continue in the search for expertise (and how to share it).

I pray for this team and those who comment to their entries, whether they want me to or not ;-) . I do that because I am confident that you all matter to God, who loves and created us; and because of your sacrifices - most of which we are likely ignorant. My prayers are for your safety and provision and continued wisdom.

Keep up the good fight! My deep and sincere thanks!

I was going to make a post yesterday in line with your comment. After reading daily articles about the issues going on in Israel and the ME, it is clear that the commentators are not thinking with a biblical mindset and are only looking at it with a human perspective. I too have extensively studied eschatology and not just Revelation, but also the OT prophecies concerning Israel that are yet to be fulfilled. What the commentators and pretty much anyone who doesn't have any biblical insight fail to understand is that everything happening right now is fulfilling those prophecies in real time. There is going to come a time when Israel will have no allies at all to defend them. They will stand alone against the Antichrist and then and only then they will cry out to God Almighty and He will deliver them. Israel will never cease to exist, there is a remnant that will be saved - God declares it and He does not lie. There are many, many bible verses about this in both the OT and NT but too many people are spiritually blind and deaf they just can't see it all playing out. They will prove to be fools one day. Notice how the hatred of the Jewish people has ramped up exponentially lately? That is not a coincidence. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled. It's supposed to happen that way - God says so.

The US would be wise not to meddle in Israel's affairs because God will bring judgment upon the nations that try and divide the land and bring "peace" deals (that only Jesus Christ himself will accomplish one day). Every time we try to force Israel into our compliance, we experience judgment upon our land. This can be proven going all the way back to the Bush #1 presidency mainly in the form of devastating weather events. I personally believe we are under God's judgment right now. The more we try to divide the land of Israel, the more our own country is being divided. But people just don't see it because they are spiritually blind. Here is a link to a timeline of devastating weather events the USA has experienced during the times we were trying to force Israel into making a deal. Very eye opening!

I would be interested in your thoughts - though this is not the venue - of the prophecy Gabriel brought to Daniel (9:24-17) and the Words of Jesus in Rev.2 and 3 to the fellowships in Smyrna and Philadelphia. To be clear - I take Paul's ideas of Israel and the nations in Romans and Galatians and those of the author of Hebrew's literally. I also question how nationalistic terms today align with those prior to say AD 70.

👍👍. I’ve studied this, but do not have the expertise of either of you. I do have major questions about the ‘state of Israel’ as it appears that those who have always been in power there are not what we’ve been told. In fact, I can’t forget the Johns-Hopkins dna study by a Jewish scientist that found less than 3% of Israel has descended from David; more than 70% of the Palestinians do. Why the current appearance of genocide? How does this factor into this? We know that God created a new covenant after Christ’s death and resurrection…one with both Jews and Gentiles. Again, I have more questions than answers. Blessings!🙏

These are the questions that have led me on my journey of some forty years - though my "retirement" has enabled my to dedicate 8 to 10 hours a day to it (and thus the " "'s). One key I look to is the system of system's (what is referred to in the Revelation as Babylon) focus on divisiveness. In fact a clear reading of 6:3-4 points us not to war but to murder and mayhem that removes peace...clearly what we see today (the "sword" is actually a "dagger" used for hand to hand fighting and assassinations.. Daniel 7,8,9, and 12 all provide supporting information to that approach (and are likely what is referred to as the little open book seen in Rev 10 and that John "eats" before he is told to prophecy of the last half of the 70th week of the messenger Gabriel's prophecy...and all that means!

I would be happy to go into further detail using my substack so as to not tie-up the BNB threads...

Wonderfully stated, HisGloriousVictory! I consider myself a student in many of the topics you and the other truthers here share….the variety of experience and expertise demonstrated here is a strength for patriots and believers both. Both will be needed to return our country to its roots; both the acknowledged God the Father and the Constitution. God bless you.🙏

The situation appears to be heating up in the US and hot spots around the world. The gradual increase in the college protests likely about to move to the streets of the cities, as Ashe notes. Of course the cities will be the focus…. Sure to be some George Floyd moment.🙏🇺🇸. Looks like Mad Maxine received her memo. Hmm….🤔 What WILL be interesting is how many white hats infiltrated the Obama/Soros army of organized illegal aliens planned to disrupt up to and following the election.

The comments regarding peace talks between Ukraine and Russia not being scheduled until the end of 2025? Why take so long? Trying to milk as much money from taxpayers as possible? Or, other trafficking? Israel is moving quickly to an untenable position. Why? Covering up what? The Biden administration withholding ammo now to Israel? I surely have more questions than answers….🧐. Must be about time to transfer operations to Taiwan…

Overton’s goalposts are becoming more obvious as the talking heads frantically try to backpedal from their previous positions. BB: I’d bet more were complicit than not. If so, we’ll anticipate more changing their minds. Interesting from the red pill position, but it won’t prevent justice.

Martyr-Champion. ‘Next move is yours, Merchan.’ — Burning Bright. I can’t wait until Merchan’s skeletons come out. It’s amazing the cabal’s minions here don’t realize how this increases support of Trump and our sovereignty; they just keep moving forward from trap to trap…

What a blessing it is to see the world through the truthers here. God bless each contributor.🙏

Re DJT playing chicken with the judge - Patrick Bet David basically alluded to this same thing last week on his podcast. Essentially Trump is saying "Go on, I dare you." As you have pointed out BB - it IS the campaign. And they know it.

BB: "Next move is yours, Merchan." I have learned to recognize patterns, thanks in part to this group here. It seems that if Merchan now or ever realizes that he is the "finite player" his only face-saving option is to have a higher authority overturn his unconstitutional gag order. I wonder what that would look like?

AiA: On Mad Max (I love it!) I used to work in downtown Denver (until COVID sent us home), I used to bring extra lunch to share with the homeless I met between where I parked and our offices; yes executives can pack their own lunch, and we still have children and grandchildren in the area...the state's capital's slide into dystopia has been heart-breaking. As our daughter says: "Denver is a wonderful place - if it weren't for the people!"

On the limits of government - spot on! My life lesson on this one was the Patriot Act! (NISM - need I say more?)

Is it possible that Chris Cuomo with his vaccine injury revelation and perhaps other leftists are going to use their vaccine injuries to blame Trump. 🤔

We are living in Gaslightitaville. And it is becoming more difficult to discern. There are days I feel like "Fiddler on the Roof's" Tevye lamenting, "On the one hand / On the other hand." Or am I in a real life version of Mad mag's Spy v Spy?

~ On the one hand, it is stated by some that Israel, with supposedly the most sophisticated intel and defense mechanisms, somehow overlooked Hamas crossing their border and permitted mass violence to go unchecked for hours. It is alleged they had been warned in the weeks before. Having said that, the reality is that many innocent people died, were injured and captured. Real lives, real families. And Hamas attacked Israel viciously.

~ On the other hand, Time mag reported that 30K people in Gaza have died, many women and children, along with destruction of large areas of infrastructure. Real lives, real families, real neighborhoods. A citizen's reaction might be that this was disproportionate response? With the resulting plight of many homeless., jobless, hungry, sick.

~ On the other hand, Hamas has threatened to annihilate the Israelis. How would it feel to be surrounded by countries who held that position? So, there's that. But, how many Gaza residents merely trying to be family and make a life, ascribe to that? And if they did, was it because of fear? Or could it be there are many who hold to that? Perhaps all of them, having let themselves be indoctrinated? We don't know.

And yet, though there are those who might be feeling strong empathy for ongoing misery, death and homelessness in Gaza, it is strongly suggested these sentiments are anti-semitic. It could be so with some campus and street protestors (many?). How many college students (and North American citizens) are genuinely upset with what seems a disproportionate response? How many college students and citizens are upset with the IDG response but are not anti-Jew; they are just anti-war, anti-mindless killing.

And yet, MSM and pundits both left and right are insisting that any reaction that is not pro-Israel is bigoted, wrong-headed, anti-semitic. The message blares across the airwaves each evening. I will be quick to add that there IS genuine, ugly anti-semitism out there. And, further, there are those who are hired, paid protesters.

While we understand this ugly standoff has been ongoing for decades, centuries and more, we find ourselves conflicted, tired, bewildered. Decry any planned violence by paid actors on college campuses, and smile knowingly at those students who get swept into any cause, but facts are that there are students and citizens who are scratching their heads because they are told their empathy for homeless, hungry, jobless citizens who have lost friends and family is wrong. Feeling guilty for feeling this way seems upside down. Yet the official mantra continues: You're anti-semitic!!

Hungarian thinker Balazs Orban (no relation to Viktor Orban) was asked by Tucker Carlson how he felt about Hungary's long difficult history with Russia. He stated matter of fact that they lived in the same neighborhood, so it was necessary that they had to try to find ways to solve their problems. After all, he went on, they lived under the same sun. And yet the strife in the Middle East between Israel and Arab countries has currently been actively going on for 76 years.

People assess the situation from afar. Sides are taken. But we don't live there; we don't know the depths, the nuances, just as they do not know the depths and nuances of North American problems. Why are we not letting them solve their neighborhood problems? We are we reacting? Why are we creating mayhem in our own nations an ocean away. Is it not their problem? Let us solve ours instead.

We are at a tipping it seems. Right is wrong / north is south / black is white. We no longer know what to think and how to react because everything is presented to us upside down, and the natural law within us (that inner voice that screams "It's not fair; it's not right!") is reeling. Many are getting profoundly weary at the cognitive dissonance - and that is exactly where they would have us be - ground down, confused and weary. But we must find our ground, stay strong, pray strong and fight our small national fights.

Trump is on the path in the Devolution end game. All the others talking heads are a distraction. America first is the path. Stay the course. PS Cuomo is a putz, Waters is a kook and Bibi is yet to be revealed.

BB isn’t the last contempt before the 10 that prosecution presented earlier? If so are they allowed to go back to the beginning of the gag order?

Funny how once the bill is passed in Congress to give Ukraine more ‘aid’, only then do we hear of ‘peace talks’. Ukraine, a giant washing machine for money laundering keeps chugging along…with no accountability of how the money is spent. A billion dollars is an incredible amount of money. Crazy that the Fed doesn’t want some of that money paid back to lower what we’ve borrowed? I have a feeling they have their hands on some of it, just not ‘officially’.

So…my simplistic view: Puppet Maxine Waters bad. Netanyahu war bad. DeSantis getting rid of Marxist education training good (to most - but not Ashe). Trump brilliant chess moves against Marchan in NY really GOOD.

Great way to start my day. Thanks!
