I can agree with most of what this gentlemen has to say, maybe with the exception of Russia somehow still being a holdout against this system. If one truly analyses the policies from the Kremlin be it with regard to Covid, with regard to climate change and more one will have to come to the conclusion that the country too is unfortunately under their sway. However, this does not mean that Russia poses spiritually the biggest chance of resistance to this system if people were to turn back to their holy church and repent. For God nothing is impossible.

Great discussion, Peter! The eternal perspective sets it apart from other discussions of this subject. Matthew 24:22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved.... speaks in the past tense of the future event of Jesus Christ setting foot on the Mount of Olives. Here is our perspective. World events are leading to the extermination of all life on earth so that as in the days of Noah, God has to deal with the circumstances on the earth. Be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome the world! Blessings, Brian and Cathy Colossians 3:1-4 Set your mind on the things above.

@Cyrille Mrad - As no one has answered your enquiry, let me offer some assistance. As with all monastic choirs the Vatopedi Monastery choir has a distinctive sound. If you use the following pathway kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3axg6mOZb94nac you will hear the entire chant and will see the notation for the Beatitudes. “Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews).

[@nonymous1852]

Israel is from the root 'Isra El' (Yashar El) meaning "directly to the Creator". ישיר is from ישר which means: straight, right, honest, straightforward, direct, upright. This is the equivalent of ορθό, which means 'straight', 'right' 'correct'. If we consider that δοξος means Glory. Specifically 'glory from God' The composers of the Septuagint used δοξα (doxa) to represent the word כבוד (kabud), which described a quality of YHWH as his Shekinah (presence) which filled the tabernacle first and later the Temple. This the term 'Israel' could be considered as 'orthodox'. The Orthodox Christian is the new 'Jew' covenant.

Speaking of the 9min in the interview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6etY5-kjrpkeLc Apparently, important people ''DO'' certain things to hurry up the arriving of the 'mashiah' (A video from about 1990) A lot of things have been ''done'' apparently in the last 30 years, for those who have eyes to see. God bless you, and thanks for your hard work.

[@Troy-Moses]

The old man on the right is Menachem Schneerson of the Lubavitcher cult out of Brooklyn. I was living in the Bronx when he died, and my mother laughed them to scorn for waiting on him to resurrect. Rabbinic Jews believe "messiahs" can be elected.

[@stalkek]

Just watching this now, having watched it originally a year or so ago, it struck me that the Tower of Babel would be the obvious archetypal Utopianism venture- a human attained heaven on earth without God - though I suppose it could probably be accurately said that the beginning of history itself - history being the field of conflicts, dramas of opposite forces - is the moment of temptation in the Garden, and this in itself is also Utopianism.

[@Troy-Moses]

This was taken from two separate articles, as I've been trying to put my finger on urbanisation: *_"Today, 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas..." --- "It is estimated that 83% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas, up from 64% in 1950. By 2050, 89% of the U.S. population and 68% of the world population is projected to live in urban areas."_* Considering that 90% of people already live in the northern hemisphere, the numbers above seem to be wild. Is anyone able to shine some light on why rural areas are being drained with mass migration to cities on a global level? Is urbanisation a subset or microcosm of globalisation?

[@shawnmuench]

Why does northern hemisphere residency preclude urban residency? Those are two separate metrics operating simultaneously.. unless you have a special reason for thinking the first somehow prevents the second from also being true?

[@Troy-Moses]

@@shawnmuench I am more seeking for answers than providing them. But the clustering seems to me to be Babel all over again of failing to fill the earth -- assuming that such disproportionate population distribution was always around 90/10. In spite of the 90/10, those projected numbers for 2050 are alarming to me. So what's up with this urbanisation trend?

[@windowsoflife]

In the Quran, Jesus is described as the Messiah, born of a virgin, performing miracles, accompanied by disciples, rejected by the Jewish establishment, and being raised to heaven. The Quran asserts that Jesus wasn't crucified nor died on the cross, but was miraculously saved by God. In Islamic eschatology, Jesus will return in the Second Coming with Imam Al Mahdi to kill the Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ('The False Messiah'), after which with the ancient tribes Gog and Magog would disperse. After these creatures would miraculously perish, Imam Mahdi and Jesus would rule the entire world, establish peace and justice, and die after a reign of 40 years. Many scholars see the Antichrist arising from Islam. The spirit of Antichrist has driven them to be enemies of Holy Church. One such book is Antichrist: Islam's Awaited Messiah, by Joel Richardson.

[@prayunceasingly2029]

Many of the Arabian Jews rejected Muhammad as a prophet, so any Muslim claiming to be a Jewish Messiah might be rejected as well. There's a Jew in Israel who has recently done miracles and knows the Torah and Talmud so well it's a rarity. Some speculate he could be the anti Christ.

[@wauliepalnuts6134]

Islam was artificially created; it is nothing more than a plagiarism of Christianity and Judaism. There is nothing remotely holy nor authentic about Islam. Thus, any Quranic explanation about anything is not to be taken seriously. Imagine encouraging drinkers of pure water to also drink mud because, well, there's some water in it as well.

[@windowsoflife]

@@wauliepalnuts6134 Agree. Tom Holland, among other historians, have substantiated the false claims of Islam. I mentioned the above because it appeared that the conversation offered little understanding of Islam and their false claims.

[@alexs8335]

Jewish Temple has nothing to do with the antichrist. St. John Chrysostom wrote that the Jewish Temple will never be built again, because the Church, the body of Christ is the new Temple. Antichrist will come from inside the Church and he will sit in the Church as the head of the Church as a substitution of Christ. That's why according to apostle Paul the falling away (apostasy) comes first . 2 Thess. 2:3-4. The Temple of God is the Church, and the Icon of the antichrist will replace the icon of the Savior. Antichrist is a false savior, and he will do what Christ didn't do. Antichrist will save us from the "Romans", and the people will be screaming "we have no other king but Caesar!"

@@banhammer3904 they have been attempting to rebuild the Temple for the long time. But it's not up to them. The body of Christ is the Temple, and there will be no other Temple as long as the World exists.

Yes similar to Enoch as well, "And for their disbelief and for their uttering against Mary a grievous calumny (We condemned them): And for their saying. We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God, and they killed him not; nor did they crucify him, but a likeness of him was shown to them. And certainly those who differ therein are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for certain. Nay, God exalted him in His presence. And God is ever Mighty, Wise. (4:158-159) They don't believe he was crucified, but it was made to look like he did (one of his disciples died in his place). So at the moment, he's alive with Allah and waiting until the end times for his second coming, in which he will kill the anti christ, abolish the islamic tax (jizya) and proclaim Islam to be the true religion.
