Whom is worthy to break the seal on the scroll?

Why would you attribute the seals being broken to man or man-made actions.

Only Jesus is worthy, only Jesus will do it. The timing will be God's to decide and no action or desire of man will change the time of that event.

Judicial system: Present your bond money to appeal....

Trump: here's the money you required for bond.

Judicial system: umm... Damn.... Here wait just a minute, you can't just present your bond money to meet the bond money requirement of this appeal. We now need all these extra things done before we accept your money and call it a good bond toward your appeal process beginning. So we mailed you your money back and you should get it in 20 days or so. Please cure the appeals bond documentation issues and present thepayment for your bond again in the next 5 days.

Oh you don't readily have the liquid cash for the bond until you get your money back in post? Not our problem.

A clear case of injured child. A 100% certainty of whom was responsible. These people are stupid and evil.

That baby whom is clearly injured / harmed is also black just like the mother whom delivered the harm to the baby. So reporting the crime can't be racist because you are rescuing the child from the mother whom had already clearly harmed the child.

Sounds more like the hospital administration is racist because they refuse to report black on black crime involving children. This policy will only produce the outcome of children being further injured, neglected, and dying at the hands of drug addicted and abusing parents. So the outcome is terrible for the black population and by that measure the policy is racist.

What a cute way of denying the spiritual universe and by implication of denying the spiritual component of evil, also denying God. For if humans are the only monsters (evil) existent and we only identify humans as the problem, then the solution becomes simplified to eliminating the human monsters among us to resolve said problem. If humans can resolve our own problems in this way, there is no need or room for God much less salvation from the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus. The Bible speaks against this dangerous naivety in Ephesians 6:12.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Yes, there are real human monsters. The (self identified) elite of the group very much are actively in the service of Satan and his demons. We may be seeing the elite humans as the monsters, but there is a greater spiritual unseen evil even more monstrous than we perceive the human monsters to be. It is here that your meme denies the spiritual reality in our world. By denying the spiritual evil that seeks to destroy all men by using man against man, the statement is false and seeks to diminish human awareness of the spiritual realities we live within.

In this way, I would argue that Scooby-Doo as a show subtly tries to persuade impressionable children that all things spiritual are just silliness and parlor tricks by setting up straw men stories of cartoon human bad guys trying to scare everyone by dressing up as ghosts as if that were how the spiritual realm functioned.

Also in my book you can add Casper and other similar cartoons and shows to the list of media that tries to diminish the realities of the spiritual realm by creating straw man type stories that deny or minimize the existence of the spiritual world.

Eliminating the chevron deference as an argument will make the administrative state (aka bureaucracy) have to actually defend their overreach by proving the law actually authorizes them to regulate in the way they have said it does.

In other words it should knee cap a bunch of BS rules that don't actually stay within the laws passed by congress. And we are already seeing good results out of the removal of the chevron deference argument from the lower courts.

I bet it was first found in a vial before it was found in the chickens.

24-25 per ounce? Let me know when it gets back up near or above 40 like it was around 2012.

This doesn't look like a liftoff to me. Granted the banks have been playing the market for decades now from their PM desks to keep prices artificially low on physical. It's certainly been successful for them for far longer than I ever thought possible.

That's nice. So what about the parts or that data they already shared with 3rd party databases of companies not enjoined in this lawsuit?

What no ball turret on top?

I am confident you would be able to understand what I refer to as scripture just from reading the earlier posts in this thread.

We could go around and around with you either feigning ignorance to what I'm saying or hiding what you personally believe in the matter.

So why don't we just jump to the end and you express what your viewpoint or belief is as regards Christianity and the Bible. We can agree or disagree and we don't end up circling something with endless redirections, whatever it is you just don't want to say publicly?

I'm not interested in arguing semantics about this translation or that translation or going back to original text which very few among us can actually read and understand in the dead languages the text originated.

I am merely pointing out there is a difference between scripture given by God and works generated by man.

I am saying the documents associated to the founding of the United States included with this Bible are not God breathed inspiration. God did not tell the founding fathers to write the content found present in those documents. The founding fathers were not transcribing what the Holy Spirit told them to write, nor do they make any such claim. Therefore, those documents are not scripture. They do not address nor are they intended to address the full relationship of man with God. They do not direct man to Jesus for salvation but take very generalized acknowledgement of truths found in parts of the Bible.

The founding documents are in many ways a synthesized logical derivative of truth that can be understood from the Bible. They are not the same as the Bible as these documents are ultimately only the works and reason of man. I do not equate the founding documents to be Holy or scripture. Putting them into a binding along with the Bible is an indication of equating these documents to be of the same quality or level (perhaps even holiness) as the Bible.

Personally, I disagree with this move. Marketing the Bible, which is God's book given to man so that we would better know about God and better understand our relationship with Him and what is required and what is freely given to us --A Holy book that reveals our need of a Savior and points to Jesus as the fulfillment of that need--, is not appropriate to attach to that book these man made documents (even if they are some of the best that man has ever generated). It is not appropriate to attach the Bible to a political campaign or a human movement.

It is not God whom follows or aligns Himself to specific human movements and organisation --this would in effect be making God subservient to those human things. Rather, the correct evaluation is do you or does the movement / organization align to and follow God and will you trust and follow Jesus?

We are to align with God and follow his plan. We are not to shoehorn God into following our plans. The Hebrew people had to learn that painful lesson multiple times. Such as when they marched into battle with the Ark of the Covenant and reasoned God would nor let them lose with the Ark in their midst. Instead God allowed the enemy to slaughter the Hebrew warriors on the battlefield and allowed the Ark to fall into the hands of the Philistines whom mocked God but soon were dying of a plague while their own idols were falling down before the Ark and being shattered. They sent the Ark back to Israel on a cart pulled by two unguided never-before-yoked milk cows, whom were kept from their calves in the process, and these cows made a beeline for Israel to return the Ark.

Wow look at that.... Now let's do eastern civilization in the same light. Funny thing is you end up seeing the same things criticized here in western civilization. Let's look at middle east civilizations, you end up seeing the same things criticized in western civilization.

So I don't discount that western civilization has been involved in and done bad things. I also don't believe these bad things done are any different from the same bad things done by other non Western civilizations. And if we consider the Rothschild controlled banking systems to be Jewish as is their claimed heritage, then there again we see bad things done by a particular group of people in charge. In this case causing wars and suffering the world over.

So from my perspective what we all have is a sin problem. That sin problem in the people's of the world entices us to choose actions that harm and to not love our neighbors and to turn a blind eye to other evils.

Perhaps this man casting stones would be better served to seek redemption and salvation in Jesus rather than judging whole civilizations while ignoring the evils produced by his own people. Then he could truly make a difference by sharing the gospel with the lost people of the nations he currently pretends to sit in judgement over.

Frankly, I wouldn't call this a pre-alert as much as an alert to an unfolding disaster as a sequence of events was already in progress with an obvious inevitable conclusion. It's like an airplane with an engine fire coming in for an emergency landing. Oh look, the fire department was pre-alerted that a plane fire was going to land at the airport.

I wonder if this would fall under a tortious interference claim.

Before anyone can conclude logically this is an accident and not an attack / black swan, we should probably check into whether anything relating to the market might be a secondary effect from the bridge collapse or the closing of the portto shipping.

Do we have any potential "Merchant of Venice" type situations or agreements tied into market that could be triggered by an interruption in shipping and commerce at that port?

Is the timing of any of those tie ins such that this event might trigger default and might the chain reaction of a market crash over the coming weeks?

I personally don't know one way or another, but the interconnectedness of our economy with shipping and commerce could easily have some systemic weaknesses aligned with specific times and commerce deliveries which may not be readily apparent at first look.

we are not the angels or the fallen angels. The Bible says we were created by God with the angels already existing at that time. Other scripture indicates we were made a little lower than the angels. Additionally, salvation was not offered or given to the fallen angels. We are created in God's image while the angels are never referred to as image bearers of the Living God.

If you look to scripture to help you interpret scripture, then one thing you might notice is God addresses individual people where ever they are at, leaders of nations, and the nations themselves. People whom simply entertain (ie tv / movie / music stars) or their ancient analogue are not a focus anywhere.

You may find this next part odd, but I'll preface with how I see the world (satan's plan) working out things to ignore or deny Christ (God's plan).

Basically, if Revelations is more literal than people give credit for, then Satan would need a deception (or alternative explanation) potent enough to continue to deceive people who are witnessing the unfolding of Revelations prophesies coming true in front of them. In many ways science (not by itself an issue) is utilized incorrectly by unbelievers to replace in their minds the position of God thus allowing them to exist without a creator ( in their minds) and thus they deny and ignore the Living God while holding onto their imperfect science.

The judgements (seals, trumpet, bowl) in revelation all describe fantastic and disturbing things happening in quick succession harming the earth and the creatures and people of the earth. What we see lately coming out of scientific study in archeology, in astronomy, in solar observation, in geology all point to a 6000 and 12000 year catastrophy cycle. The cycle is connected to what science identifies as natural recurring processes from the galactic center which involve a current sheet polarity shift of the galactic magnetic field our sun and planets are moving through. Although local to our sun, the solar magnetic field is prevalent, the sun's field which is expanded far out past Pluto by the steady stream of solar wind (charged plasma), the polarity shift the sun travels through about every 6000 years results in dusty plasma that rides on this galactic current sheet becoming far more dense and penetrating further into our solar system. The result ultimately in an accumulation of more material at the surface of the star leading to normal solar wind streams getting more or less stuck on the sun (choking the star). This cascades into a solar micronova (x1000- x10000) flare event sending a massive coronal mass ejection of the corona's shell in nearly all directions. So we would basically observe as this process keeps progressing ( since all the planets and the sun have shown many observed and measured changes to the magnetic fields and ionosphere independently of each other) and the sun flares and we have a darkening of the star before the flare, followed by flare, followed by massive amounts of plasma shell flying off the sun in our direction. The moon gets hit directly causing the surface to go molten red the stars are obscured in 1/3rd of the sky by all the debris and plasma, the earth is struck in the waters by wormwood, 1/3 of all living things basically die. Most every power grid fails in ways that will take decades to bring back online fully. The continents may well turn over 90 degrees on the surface of the earth ( Greenland and Antarctica are on the equator, the oceans may abandon their natural place for a short period as this continental shift is not matched to the normal intermediate stable rotation we experience today and like a basin of water that is shoved, the water first pushes forward and then sloshes back. For survivors, wars happen, crops fail, starvation and disease ensue worldwide, people having this science explanation reject God's revelation and choose to follow a "great" leader of their time whom has promised to get us through the cataclysm.

But that's ridiculous you might say, and to that, I would direct your attention to all the astronomical articles and papers in the last couple years documenting observed micro nova in stars that are core-ward (toward galactic center) from our relative position in the galaxy (especially in stars observed in our local group of the galaxy). Also recorded history on caves depicting strange things in the sky ( experimentally congruent with the collapse of the earth's magnetic field and broad level plasma interaction with the upper atmosphere (by the way, if / when the L-shells of our magnetic field collapse to ground level, plasma bolt energy discharges could carve the grand canyon in less than a minute out of the rock) and Noah and many other indications of a great flood 6000 years ago and other cataclysms in that same time range. Oh one more thing, the earth's magnetic field is weakening substantially and moving to flip polarity which in geologic history appears to also conclude with these solar events too.

Bottom line, I do not see Revelations as cryptic or apocalyptic ( ie not literal) literature in the Bible. Frankly, Satan also takes it far more literally than you suggest it is meant to be else there would be no need for science to discovery and observe in earnest lately these things that are heading toward our solar system. Why have a scientific explanation that says everything that is happening in revelation is a natural galactic process ready to go before things kick off? It would not be necessary if revelations was not being literal about the events and plagues.

From my perspective, God created this universe in time and set all things into motion that would correspond to His plan and timing for our time bound universe. Where God desired, He intervened in the universe directly altering his Creation's timeline as He saw fit for His purpose. Jesus ( the greatest example of God radically altering the timeline of Creation's path) is the author and finisher of our faith and He will return in the midst of these judgements to re-conquer the earth, subdue Satan and the fallen angels, and finally for those whom have believed and trusted him rid us of any/ all sin, suffering, and death.

Props to you both for staying on top of breaking news.

Need that GIF with the space ship pilot and the two exclusive choice buttons sweating bullets trying to figure out which one of the bad option buttons to press.

1. "try to remain relevant" acknowledge legitimacy of result while dissing the origination of that validated information. (Hope the obvious cognitive dissonance doesn't wake too many people up).

2. "deny it all" and look like a joke in the face of the real information leaking out. Results in nobody looking to you for any news or information and thus irrelevancy.

It's interesting to me that the state as the plaintiff doesn't need to prove standing for the civil case. After all, nothing alleged in the lawsuit identified the state as an injured party in any way. And the entities that could have claimed injury all said they were not injured. Where was the standing?

Well we know that standing is just a tool of convenience in cases like these, so I guess the state doesn't bother proving standing, but gives the judge a wink and a nod so the case goes forward.

What's half a billion dollars between friends (or fines)? Must be nothing to worry about in New York.

You had the same thought as I on the matter. At least for the ones that were unable to be sent back to their country of origin.

After leaving 4chan, 8chan became the home base for q to post and interact. That's where the research and breads were also primarily happening. There were satellite groups researching on other sites and presumably they were reposting q posts over there for the benefit of their users. Origination of those posts always came from 8chan at that point.
