Ezekiel 3:17 -Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Good Sabbath day to you all dear family…May the Word of the Lord bless us all this day. Today is the introduction to the Prodigal Son: A Cry to Come Home.
The parable of the prodigal son brings out the distinct lines of God's pitying love for those who are straying from Him and departing from His love and have left home to play with the world. Although the prodigal son and so many of the alike have wondered from home and gone astray, putting away the truth and the love God has for us away, the good Shepherd does not leave any in their misery and self-made troubles they bring upon themselves.
When we look into the plan of redemption and we truly study it, we can see the steps that Christ has made for us to find our way back home. The Father in heaven sent His Son into the world to save mankind. The Saviour of the world had to take on flesh to understand us. The Word became flesh. Our King took upon Himself the nature of man; He bore all the insult more than we could ever imagine. He took on a world that disgraced His truth; He was wrongfully put to shame, where His love was trampled upon and died for the sinners that they may have life, and He did all this while they were yet sinners.
Romans 5:8 -But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Christ was tempted in all points like we have been and then some, so that He might become acquainted with our temptations, and it is by this experience, with all the suffering that comes from this and the trials that come from walking in this world, our great and loving King opened the way that the sons and daughters of Adam might return to allegiance to heaven, and make their way back to the tree of life, back to their final resting place in eternity, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God in heaven.
Just as our Master was tempted in all areas you and I both are and those who are still gone astray today, it is this Christ Jesus who is able to assist those who are tempted and have fallen away. No one on this planet has a greater understanding of every soul than Christ. He reads the heart, and He knows just what needs to be done in every single soul’s life. The wondering child who has gone from their home, we can have confidence in God and His saving power. God has given confidence to His children to come to him and to pour out all their sorrows before him; for he has borne our grief’s and is touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
Matthew 8:17 -That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.
The Lord loves us, and our Saviour is full of kindness and matchless endurance. He is full of tender pity towards all His children, which He knows how we are exposed to all the temptations of the artful deceiver. Christ is longsuffering towards us as well; He is very patient with us as we are to learn to be towards others. And He especially knows His children.
John 10:27-28 -My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
In every situation in our lives, Christ is there, and He understands all that we are going through. When we go astray and fall victim to the cunning foe Satan, Christ is always there ready to help us back up and return to Him in victory. Some people tend to stay down longer in their misery because of their own choosing, which I got to tell you that it is very dangerous to not get back up and fight and confess and ask for forgiveness. The longer we wait, the worst things can get and the further we stray from God.
2 Corinthians 6:2 - (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)
If any of us are running from God today, if any of us are playing around in the sins of the world, if any of us are not harkening to the call of God, if any of us are shunning the cries of the Holy Spirit, TODAY is the day of your salvation. Today is the day that you are to get down on your knees and ask God for true repentance as king David and ask for forgiveness of all your sins, and ask for help, for power, for strength, and victory. Christ will come unto thou if you shall do such an honorable thing and go to God with a broken spirit and contrite heart. Humble yourselves before the Eternal King of the universe who is there and ready to pardon your sins that have hid His face from thee.
Isaiah 59:2 -But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.
I have been in a wretched condition before; in the state of physical and spiritual death. It is a very bad place to be and it is very difficult to get out of, but if you listen to what I am saying, and if you can somehow open your heart and allow the light of truth to shine forth in your life and hear the knock on the door to come home, please, take this time to consider thy ways and turn back home to your Father. Become a babe and take the hand of the Lord and listen to the Spirit and walk home with us to heaven.
This world is going to die soon and NONE of us want to see you die with it. Time is running out. Take that first step and let’s go home together. Get up off the ground and do the works of love and turn to Him who has given you life and has cried many nights for thy return. Open your heart and let my words that speaketh truth which comes from the Spirit of God penetrate the depths of your soul. Be thou not angry at God. The Good Shepherd and His undershepherd have toiled for your return. You may run from place to place, but Christ is still there waiting. He loves you and you can’t run forever.
There will come a time in your life where you will see the dead-end sign. There you will have to choose where you will go. Your day is coming when you shall stand at the crossroads of decision where you will have to answer that call from God or reject it for the last time. Where shalt thou stand, oh, Jonah? Where shalt thou be when this world becomes stubble? How much longer shall thou run from those that loveth thou? Where is your heart? Where is thy understanding? Where is thy courage? Is there any left in thee? The One that will healeth your backslidings stands before you this day? Where is thy love for God? Why stand here in the world and continue to do as the heathen? How much longer does the kingdom of God have to wait for thee? How much longer do you need to stand between heaven and hell? Which will thou choose?
The LORD'S hand is not shortened, concerning thee that he cannot save you; neither is his ear heavy from hearing your cries if you would but wake up from thy bed and sleepeth thou not anymore with the world and continue in adultery against heaven. God will hear you and He will heal your backsliding, oh wretched and lost house of Israel, for your hands are defiled with the sins of this world, which have stained your garments.
Isaiah 59:1-2 -Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.
There is but One who can saveth thou. Do you hear Him? Do you know Him? He knows the number of hairs on your head.
Matthew 10:30 -But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
He made you; He created you in the day you were formed in the womb of your mother. Turn to Him and follow the path home that He has set before thee. Let not your ways be that of the heathen. Let not thy works be found forming a bond with Satan any longer. Let not sinners entice thee, consent thou not with the wicked.
Proverbs 1:10 -My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Let your life speak no more lies, for your works hath muttered perverseness. The day of reckoning is coming. Don’t be found weigh in the balances and found wanting. Plead for His saving mercy. Ask and it shall be given thee. Knock and it shall be open unto thee. The power that proceedeth from the throne of God will come unto thee and will destroy the vanity that you have put your trust in.
When you have truly come to Him, He will break the web of Satan that he has weaved into your life. Take off the robes of unrighteousness that you have purchased and burn it. Get fitted for the kingdom to come by stepping on the strait and narrow path. Run no more in the path of evil. Set thou foot on solid ground that is found in Jesus. Set not thy thoughts any longer therein on wickedness. Devise not to join any longer with the wicked, for their path is destruction and their ashes shall be walked upon in the day the Lord shall perform this.
Malachi 4:3 -And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.
Waste not thy life any longer hastening to the ways of the fallen stars, to the ways of Satan who claims with his lies that he will exalt his throne above the stars of God: where he is self-deceived and deluded to think that he will evermore sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north, but rather he will be brought down to hell. Therefore, waste not your life away a with him.
Isaiah 14:13-15 -For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
There is not a moment to spare in this short space. Come home, come home, for the day of the Lord is upon us. Be not a doubleminded man who is set in his own ways. Make up thy mind and draw nigh to God this day ye filthy sinners and He will come unto you, He will clean you at set you in the goodly soil. He will prepare a place for thee in His kingdom. What a greater reward is this than to receive praises of God? He is ready and willing to open the windows of blessings that none can contain it. Showers of blessings are upon the righteous, take their hands and walk as He walked and be filled with the Holy Ghost this day. The due of heaven is ready to prepare you for the storm that is rising. The raindrops are falling that will give the special sound to the trumpets and a power that will cause the wicked men to turn from their ways and become the sons and daughters of God. Join the ranks of the Lord and go on with us in the battle. There will be no weapon that can form against thee. For the weapons that are to form against the elect will fall like straw, and they shall drop to their knees and worship before thee.
Turn from their ways and return to the fold. Depart from evil and gain understanding. Open the doors and flee from their wretched ways. Break free from the bondage that Satan has placed over your life. Stand up in Christ and be victorious. Walk no more in the ways of the blind, for their captivity will remain and their life come to naught. Be not like them who have chosen darkness over the light because their deeds were evil. Pick UP YOUR CROSS and bear it like a real Christian, a real inward Jew who obeys the statute of the Lord, who follows their great King into battle and goes about conquering Satan and his confederacy, sin, hell and death. Overcome by the blood of the Lamb and waste no more time in sitting around and folding thy hands.
The cries are upon this land. If you shall see the gates of heaven, open thy eyes and look through the looking glass of obedience where it will bring you to the cross of Christ and see that if you shall not hearken unto the voice of the Lord this day, you shall bear your open cross in the day of judgment when He shall open the book of remembrance of all thy sins and iniquities that you have performed. His swift execution will not fail; for He is a God of Justice. Fear the Lord and gain wisdom. Understanding His tender mercy endureth forever; for the righteous understand, for they shall walk with Him in white. Justice is the Lord and justice shall He repay to all who will not repent from the works of the flesh.
Take down the banner of darkness. For the army of the Lord is waiting in the east to come and help perform this. The prince of this world has no power over the kingdom to come. He is a defeated foe, thus saith the Lord God of Israel.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 -For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
So, rise and prepare the ways of the Lord. Join with the bands of Israel and come home. Be no more sleeping saints. Exercise your freedom in the Lord and work out the works of righteousness. Shine as the eastern sky will do when the Lord shall come. Break loose the bands of Satan in every soul. Lead the way and path their way to freedom as it has done for thou. Get up and put on your armor and move and join the battle and come home.
The king is soon to request the changing of His Kingly robe for the robe of vengeance where He will repay all their just reward. No more shall He stand as High Priest in the days that He shall declare…
Revelation 22:11 -He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
The Words of our Lord continue to comfort us who are setting their feet on the strait and narrow path…
Revelation 22:12 -And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
What in the world does it offer that surpasses the LOVE of GOD? Why loveth thou darkness for a season any longer? The city of God is glowing and preparing to descend for the reward of the righteous. No more time to waste in pleasures and cares of this world. Get dressed and get ready for the wedding. For the bridegroom cometh in an hour that no one knows, but the Father. Now is the time to prepare and do the works of repentance.
If you look close enough and open your eyes, you shall see the kingdom of God as John did. For it is written…
Revelation 21:1-8 -And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Amen, Amen and Amen. I stand here before you this day to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see the cries of our heavenly Father and those who love you who were once lost too but are now found, who are crying out loud and sounding the trumpet, who will spare not; the spirit of Elijah is upon this earth this day and preparing the way; this sign is the sign of the end and time is running out.
If you hear the cries of the watchman, then know this day, the Lord has sent love unto thee through the ones crying in the wilderness of this lost world. Now is the day to answer and come. Today, salvation stands in the earth. Your King is coming and ready to meet you. Take up yourself from the ground and shake off the dust of sin. Be no more lost in the wilderness but come to the land of promise. This land is filled with rich pastures, milk and honey, bright days that the sun of this world cannot perform; BUT the Sun of RIGHTEOUSNESS alone can do. This land is the land of the living, which calls forth in the spirit of Elijah the dead. Arise, arise and meet your King.
Take down the proud look and humble self before the King of humility. Remove the plow of the wicked from your heart and let the Sower of truth perform His loving duty. Desire the Sun of Righteousness and He shall bring forth light. Spring forth as that bringeth forth much fruit unto good works. Do this and the reward of the Lord will give every man according to His works. For he shall be like…
Psalms 1:3-6 -And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Why stand in rebellion against heaven any longer? Why stand any longer with the prince of darkness? Why stand any longer with the wicked? For…
Psalms 2:2-10 -The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye people that heareth the Word of truth, which is spoken unto you this day; be instructed, increase thy knowledge through the wisdom of God; hear the Word of the Lord and...
Psalms 2:11-12 -Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.
2 Samuel 22:30 - For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. [As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God? God [is] my strength [and] power: And he maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
Let us call upon the Lord…
Psalms 18:3-20 -I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Psalms 34:22 -The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Come home and…
Psalms 37:3-40 -Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be]. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand. I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it]. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Come back to the trusting path of the Lord that have gone astray and see that there is nothing this world has to offer but death in the end. Take the right hand of the Lord as a child and walk; because the end of this world is at hand. If you do walk home and be with the Lord, surely darkness will beset thee in when He makes an utter end of this sinful world.
Nahum 1:9 -What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Sin will no more have its place in this world and those who love it shall die with it. Find your resting place in Jesus and come home. O’ how many tears have dropped for thee. O’ what sadness has accumulated in the hearts that long for thou return. How much longer will you reject the love that awaiteth thee? Fill this land with no more sorrow; and return to the land that has raised thee up. The door is open to hear your repentance. Let not Satan direct thy path any longer. Let not the prisons of this world keep your love in shackles for the Lord. Rise up in the heart and stand for righteousness, stand in truth and bring forth the works of the Lord. Be not afraid of returning. Run to Him! Run home to those that love you.
If any of you have loved ones who are not coming home right now, your prayers are not falling on deaf ears.
1 Peter 3:12 -For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.
James 5:16 -The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Look into the life of the wondering child; look closer, and yet a little closer and you will see the invisible hand on each of your loved one’s lives who may be going through so much and suffering from all their own wrongful choices. The chastening of the LORD is upon His children because your prayers are being answered. In due season, the life of the wonderer will return home at the sound of the final trumpet in their life. Many may go to sleep soon and take their last breath in Jesus. It is through all their wondering and backsliding where we will be healed and brought to that place in life where we FINALLY SEE the Lord and He takes our life so that we may have it again when He returns to give it back.
Hebrews 12:6-8 -For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Many may have to sit in prison to learn of God’s love for them and how He is a God of justice and a God of reward if all will remain faithful. Many may have to venture off and destroy the temple of the Lord, but by the grace of God, He will build it up unto an immortal temple that Satan cannot touch again.
The flesh is a hard thing to destroy, but with God, all things are possible and it will happen and God will have His kingdom and it will be filled with our loved ones and those who we may have never thought would be there because they defiled themselves with the world, but as it was for us all, God brought us to that place where we were once lost, BUT ARE now found.
So, be of good cheer and trust in the Lord and He will save. I know it is hard to let go and give the reins to God sometimes because of our love for those who we have been with, but we have to do it and have peace.
Christ laid down His life for His children and BY GOD HE is going to bring them home. His work shall not go in vain, dearly beloved. Just as our sins were washed away and we were set up right, so shall it be for those who are now experiencing what we once had been before Christ brought us home in His saving arms. Their sins will be made white as all of us are striving for this. It is a fight and a battle in this world. Heaven is not easy. We are to be proven, tested, and tried to the utmost; even to the breaking point, but through it all Christ will reason with us.
Isaiah 1:18 -Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Hear the cries of the Lord and allow wisdom to be thy friend O’ lost house of Israel…
Jeremiah 3:22-25; 4:1-2 -Return, ye backsliding children, [and] I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD our God. Truly in vain [is salvation hoped for] from the hills, [and from] the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God [is] the salvation of Israel. For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God. If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
I pray the God of heaven and earth brings forth a rich harvest of trusting in all our lives. And I pray that all the backsliding children (the lost house of Israel) will return home.
And for those of you who may be wondering in the world right now, I pray for thee. I have been there in the depths of Satan’s bosom and it is no place for the child of God to be. It is time to get home or suffer the consequence of the Lord’s chastening like you have never felt before. Playtime is over with this day children. The Lord has gone out from the 99 and He will find you eventually; and there He will meet you face to face and make your heart melt from all you have done in your adultery against your KING. All that is happening in your life will be brought before you and it will crush you to the ground when you finally see the cross of Christ. Then shall He raise each of you from darkness and death; and He will bring His lost sheep home. The Lord shall perform this work, thus saith the Lord God of Israel and your end shall come to pass Satan. Thou…
Isaiah 14:19; 15 -… thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet…thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Amen, Amen and Amen…Praise be to the God of heaven and earth this day. And I close this crying message for the lost house of Israel to come home like the prodigal son with Psalms 30:2-5.
Psalms 30:2-5 -O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
May the God of heaven and earth bless thee all this day with wisdom and power and might. Peace...

Homecoming week has begun and activities are in full swing. While students are trying to enjoy the festivities of spirit week, the weather has been getting chilly. But for the campus’ finest, they know that there is an outfit for every event and season.
We are in the thick of fall, which means textures, colorful leather, riding boots and studs the go-to accessories.
Layers: Layering your clothes will shield you from cold while making you look effortlessly fashionable. There is no specific recipe for putting together the perfect outfit using layers, but the best way to rock your layers is starting with a crisp dress shirt. You dress shirt can be pin stripped, your favorite color or polka dot. Once you pick your dress shirt it can be layered with anything. For ladies, top it off with a cozy sweater, an A-Line dress with a square neckline, or you can do it reverse style and wear your dress shirt over your favorite dress.
Textures: Textures can be incorporated into any outfit. A stylish way to use textures is to wear a chunky knit sweater with detailed rips to add a little sass. The purpose of a chunky sweater is to provide warmth, but with our generation some of us would rather be cute then protected from the cold. The detailed rips give this throwback fashion staple a twist by showing a little skin through the slits that are placed randomly. But be wary of the placement of these slits, as sweaters fit everyone differently. For those of you who are self-conscious about showing skin, a cute thing to wear underneath your chunky sweater is a camisole. Always keep this in your wardrobe. It is a lifesaver.
Leather: When some people hear the word leather they think of an edgy motorcycle jacket, but leather comes in more forms than a jacket. A staple for this cold weather is leather, or faux leather, pants and leggings. Wearing leather pants or leggings has been another style that has traveled through fashion history and it will never get old. Leather bottoms can be paired with any top, which is why every girl needs a pair in her closet. They also come in different colors and cuts.
Boots: Boots should be a go-to shoe for every girl this fall. There are various styles of boots, but a must-have is riding boots. Riding boots come in a leather texture and a variety of colors that are eye catchers. Also, riding boots come with different embellishments like studs, emblems, and even a high heel that has been crafted into a specific shape. Riding boots go best with dresses, shirts and over straight leg bottoms.

Lee Jae-sung of Mainz in the German Bundesliga scored two consecutive games and led the team to a six-match winless escape.
Lee Jae-sung started in the 2022-2023 Bundesliga round 18 home game against Bochum held at Meba Arena in Mainz, Germany on the 28th and scored a goal to lead 1-0 40 seconds after the start of the game.

We had so much fun here the first night we came back the second night too!! The piano guys are AMAZING!! I've been to other pianos and the talent hasn't been this good or this interactive with the audience. Something that stood out for me was that when we left the first night each player stopped us and thanked us for coming. We had been there the entire night and they recognized that which I thought was pretty cool! They played a wide variety of music and worked very hard to get through everyone's requests. The only downside is that there were a lot of bachelorette parties on Saturday night. Maybe too many for my liking but I do have to give the players credit for making a point to highlight each of the parties. Nevertheless the music was great and so very entertaining. I will definitely be back!!!Aliza T.
Dueling pianos is something I have always wanted to do and it was hands down one of the most fun evenings I've ever had. The pianists seem to know every popular song of the last forty years and they also have competitions between each half of the pianos or have people in the front rows get up and make a fool of themselves (don't sit up front if you're shy!). Of course it's pricey, between $8 cover and $6 bottles, but if you pace yourself you can spend a few hours without emptying your wallet. Go, make a request, and enjoy!Mike K.
A guaranteed great time for out of town guests and locals alike. Great music, comedy and fun performances wrapped into a single show. My friends and I went on a Monday night and the place was filled but not packed. Music starts after 9pm.Patty F.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!Julia Z.
It's amazing! We got some alcohol and in a pretty good mood. Both pianists were great and endless singing, old school, rap and all the alternatives. They also do drums and make the atmosphere awesome! Audience were happy and dancing around. It has two floors and we were on the second floor and looking down and dancing. Jeez I love the place and wish we have something similar in LA so that i can hang around more!
Opened APRIL 1998
Like all things in life, two are better than one. The founders knew that to be true when they brought in three more piano players to perform every night on two side-by-side baby grand pianos. The four pianists who started it all were Arch Hooks, Keith Kelly, Mike Squillace, and David Poindexter. This dream team infused the bar with a rock and roll atmosphere, corralling crowds together for almost a full year before bringing new piano players into the rotation.
Since our bar was first founded, many things have changed, including changing the name to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar and waving goodbye to those delicious barrels of peanuts. However, the sweet memory of the scattered shells lives on forever in our hearts.

Work is underway to create around 250 acres of new parklands, on former industrial land, that will provide a colourful and festival atmosphere for the London 2012 Games and afterwards become the largest new urban park in the UK for over 100 years.
The first of 4,000 new semi-mature trees are taking root in the Olympic Park with around 100 ash, cherry and hazel trees, grown in Hampshire, already planted.
The first of 300,000 wetland plants, grown in Norfolk and Wales for the UK’s largest ever urban river and wetland planting, were laid on the river banks today by Minister for Sport and the Olympics Hugh Robertson, TV Gardener Charlie Dimmock, Olympic Gold medal winner Jonathan Edwards, Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) Chairman John Armitt and children from the Olympic Park construction crew.
The new reed beds are being created in a large wetland bowl in the north of the Olympic Park, formerly a 100 year old landfill site, where visitors during the Games will be able to relax and watch the action in 2012 on live screens. In legacy the riverside area will be a tranquil space for people and wildlife which will also help protect 5,000 properties in the area from flooding.
New webcams enable people to watch the park taking shape first-hand.
ODA Chairman John Armitt said: 'The parklands will be the centrepiece of the Olympic Park during the Games and are at the heart of the long-term transformation of this part of east London. We have cleaned up formerly industrial land, much of it contaminated, and opened up inaccessible river banks to start creating a new great park that will be enjoyed by people and wildlife for generations to come.'
Minister for Sport and the Olympics Hugh Robertson said: 'The parklands will be a fantastic addition to the Olympic Park, giving people the chance to enjoy all the sporting action in unique and relaxed surroundings and making a visit to London 2012 a day to remember.
'After the Games this former industrial wasteland will be a wonderful community facility where people inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be able to go to play sport.'
Olympic gold medallist and LOCOG Board Member Jonathan Edwards said: 'For athletes and spectators alike, the Olympic Park is going to be a magnificent place to be in 2012 and today is another step in the transformation of the Park. Athletes competing at the Games are going to have a fantastic experience, they will be right next to the park in the heart of the action and Londoners will be left with a wonderful, green park.'
Natural England director for South East England Alan Law said: 'Natural England is working with the ODA to ensure that the natural environment will be one of the major winners as a result of the Games. The Olympic Park is a great example of how an industrial environment can be transformed to meet the needs of people and wildlife and create new opportunities for health, recreation and enjoyment. London 2012 is well on the road to realising a unique green legacy.'
Over 300,000 wetland plants are growing in Thetford, Norfolk, for the UK’s largest ever urban river and wetland planting. Over 30 species of native reeds, rushes, grasses, sedges, wet wildflowers and irises have been grown initially by Salix in its nursery on the Gower peninsular in Wales with around a third grown from cuttings and seeds collected in and around the Olympic Park before construction started in 2008. The plants have been grown-on in waterbeds on coir mats in Thetford and are now being transported and planted on the Olympic Park riverbanks.
A total of over 4,000 semi-mature trees are being planted in the Olympic Park and Olympic Village, in what is thought will be the largest one-off planting of its kind in the capital.
More than 2,000 semi-mature British-grown trees have been hand-picked to form the roots of the central parklands. The four to seven metre trees, grown by Hilliers Nurseries in Hampshire, are predominantly native species such as ash, alder, willow, birch, hazel, cherry, poplar, London plane and lime. The trees will provide shelter from wind and sunshine across the park, willow, poplar and alder will be planted in river areas to withstand flooding and species vulnerable to climate change have been avoided.
Olympic Park clean up
The green clean-up of the 2.5km2 Olympic Park, much of it contaminated through decades of industrial use, has consistently beaten its tough sustainability targets since it began nearly four years ago. Nearly two million tonnes of contaminated soil has been cleaned for reuse on the Olympic Park in the UK’s largest ever soil-washing operation, over 98 per cent of demolition materials on site have been recycled, ten football fields have been cleared of invasive Japanese Knotweed, over 20 million gallons of contaminated groundwater treated and over 5km of riverbanks replaced or refurbished with 30,000 tonnes of silt, gravel and other materials dredged from the rivers. For more information visit: http://www.london2012.com/press/medi...d-on-track.php
ODA Project Sponsor John Hopkins said: 'After all the hard work it is wonderful to see the parklands rising out of this former industrial landscape. This is our most challenging year. We have made a great start and are on target to complete the majority of the parklands by the middle of next year.'
Other features of the transformation of the Olympic Park from ‘brown to green’ ready for the Games and legacy
* Wetland bowls and rare wet woodlands in the north of the Park create habitat and help manage floodwater, protecting new housing and venues and 5,000 existing properties from a 1:100 year storm. Rainwater is captured through porous paving and cleansed through a network of swales, ponds and reedbeds before flowing into the river.
* The London 2012 Garden stretching for half a mile on the Waterworks riverbank between the Aquatics Centre and Olympic Stadium and celebrating centuries of British passion for gardens and plants. It will include picnic lawns, seating and 60,000 plants and 60,000 bulbs from 250 different species.
* A riverside Royal Horticultural Society Great British Garden, overlooking the Olympic Stadium, which two amateur gardeners, Rachel Read and Hannah Clegg, helped to design after their competition entries won a public vote.
* New habitats for species including: otter; kingfisher; grey heron; bee; house sparrow; bat; song thrush; starling; toadflax brocade moth; lizard; black redstart; flower and fungus beetle; frogs, newts and toads; eel; water vole; slow worm; grass snake; linnet; sand martin; swift; and invertebrates.
* Feature planting designed by the Klassnik Corporation, We Made That and Riitta Ikonen - an art collective based in the Host Boroughs - to represent the industrial heritage of the Olympic Park site.
* 250 benches and over 3,300 seats built into the parklands so that people are never more than 50m-walk from a seat.
* Further legacy features of the Olympic Park green space:
* The southern part of the Park will focus on retaining the Games spirit, with riverside gardens and areas for markets, events, cafes and bars in legacy.
* The northern area of the Park will use the latest green techniques to manage flood and rainwater, while providing quieter public space and habitats for hundreds of existing and rare species from kingfishers to otters.
* Park hubs with play areas.
* A 6m-wide, one mile road cycle circuit built into the parklands around the Velodrome and crossing the River Lea, with lighting for year round and evening use but low level UV values to protect bats. Also 6km of off-road mountain bike tracks and a network of cycle paths across the Park including National Cycle Network Route 1.
* A large oval lawn with an amphitheatre setting in the north of the Park suitable for games, picnics and other leisure activities.
* Four football fields (2.1 hectares) worth of secure and accessible allotments.
* 5km of restored and accessible previously neglected rivers, including the original Carpenters Lock restored in a riverside bowl in the centre of the Park, connecting the northern and southern areas.
* Mounds and hills across the Park for tumbling in summer and sledging in winter.
* Temporary tree-lined daffodil, bluebell, clover and primrose meadows that vary through the seasons, created on the development land on the northern entrance to the Park that may not be developed for many years. Rather than traditional construction hoarding, which would deter people from using the Park, this unique use of parklands also reduces long-term security costs.
* Hanging gardens’ thirty foot above ground on the huge footbridge from Stratford City with meadows, lawns, shrubs and rows of trees welcoming people over the main walking entrance into the Park.
* A tree-lined ‘park road’ into the north of the Park modelled on The Mall and Birdcage Walk next to St James’s and Hyde Park, with distinctively designed surfacing, lighting and bollards and traffic management so visitors feel like they are in the park.
* A new regional sports club set in parklands with a tranquil garden square centred on the original Eton Manor Boys Club war memorial and lined with Sweet Gum trees which turn red around Remembrance Day.
* Large concourse areas reduced in size in legacy and broken up with ‘islands’ of plants, trees and meadows.
* New landscape designs around the Aquatics Centre include planted hills with seating providing views across the river to the 2012 Gardens.

Chapter 5: Turning Lions into Sheep
Christianity doesn’t have any approach towards truth, because truth is intrinsic in your consciousness, beyond your mind. It is not a thought. It is not a question of philosophy, nor a question of theological discussions. It is a question of deep meditation that leads you beyond thinking, beyond mind, and you become simply a witness, a pure witness.
That witness is divine because it is eternal. It is the ultimate in intelligence, it is the greatest clarity of vision. It takes you away from all dualities. Even the true and the false are a duality, just as birth and death are a duality, just as light and dark are a duality. Passing beyond the mind, you have passed beyond duality.
Mind functions by dividing everything into polar opposites; that is the functioning of the mind. The no-mind functions totally differently, by bringing both contradictions closer and merging them into one. No-mind knows only one existence, in which everything is dissolved. You are no more you, I am no more I. This immersion into existence is the ultimate truth.
But it is not God, it is divine. It is godliness. That’s why there are religions like Buddhism, Jainism, who don’t believe in any God, but they believe in godliness. That is a totally different concept.
God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly.
H.G. Wells has written in his world history that Gautam Buddha was “the most godless man and yet the most godly.”
What truth is Christianity defending? First you have to have the truth, then you can defend it.
And defending against whom? Your God is false, your devil is false. Once you know the truth, truth defends you, not that you defend the truth.
Truth is far bigger than you, it is infinite, it is eternal. You are just a dewdrop, and it is a vast ocean without any boundaries. The dewdrop is defending the ocean - do you see the nonsense intrinsic in the concept?
The ocean can protect the dewdrop, just the dewdrop has to slip from the lotus leaf and melt into the vast ocean. Religiousness is an oceanic feeling, an oceanic experience. The whole cosmos is one, and the whole cosmos has immense intelligence, multidimensional.
But Christianity is stuck with prayer. Any religion that is stuck with prayer is not a religion in fact. Only meditation makes the door open to religiousness, to godliness. Prayer is moving again outwards, looking upwards beyond the clouds. The more you pray, the further away you are from truth.
Meditation is not a prayer, it is utter silence. Prayer is gibberish. To whom are you talking? - it is insanity, there is no God.
I have heard that Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel for years on end. Now he was painting the roof inside the chapel on a long ladder.


After a little bit of sleuthing, I’m gonna say this isn’t a permissions issue but rather a file path coding issue in Blocs where different methodologies are used in different parts of the app.
Each time you open a project, Blocs reads all of the project’s embedded assets and linked assets from disk wherever they may be, and it makes a working copy of every asset in structured paths below the following path…
~/Library/Application Support/Blocs 4/tempAssetStorage/
Blocs appears to wipe this path clean every time you close a project, then it reconstructs temp copies of each and every asset when a project is re-opened.
On my machine, I have 1) a test account where the home folder is under /Users on the default volume as it should be, and 2) my primary account which has its home folder relocated on another volume with the advanced sys pref setting pointing to the new location, plus a symlink from /Users to the new location.
Under both users, Blocs correctly locates all of each projects’ assets and generates copies below the tempAssetStorage folder. I have tested using one project under my primary user and a second project on an external volume accessible to both users. My primary user behaves identically when opening either project and the test user behaves properly on the shared project. If Blocs has permission to access and read the assets with no issue under either user, then it must be using a different coding methodology when it generates, stores and uses previews of those assets within the UI settings and the asset manager window.
So my bet is that Bloc’s code has evolved overtime to have slightly different file path or URL construction methodologies in different parts of the app. It definitely happens, especially when Apple changes frameworks over time and their suggested uses of file paths and URLs… New frameworks may not even support file paths, so a dev is forced to mix file path handling and URL handling within an app. This is a part of Mac app development that is definitely not fun, so no blame on Bloc’s devs. I’m just hoping to help point out an issue that might be easily resolved and might eliminate potential problems elsewhere.

Most of you know that the Incurable Insomniac is my partner, Steph. A couple of days ago Steph posted fifty things that she loves about me and made all the girls at work jealous. Now they all want "one" like I've got, but I'm not sure that they can appreciate how long I, as well as Steph, have waited for one another and what we have gone through in order to have what we have together. Much of what we have has been born out of much patience, endurance, loneliness, frustration, mistakes, and a tremendous amount of sorrow. When we finally did find one another, I was headed towards mid-life and Steph had already entered it. What we sacrificed in order to be together, I'm not sure that just anyone would be willing to sacrifice. What we continue to endure because we are together, I know not just anyone could endure.
For us, love isn't simply a warm, fuzzy, feeling, it's life. It's what keeps us clinging to one another when those around us try to tear us apart. It's what I've longed for my entire life, and what I found in this precious person...this person who called to me from out of another lifetime and begged me to remember...
You advise me calmly to forget you and love another and want that I still live?
Ah, No! I would rather die!
Come death! I wait for it courageously!
To seek consolation from another,
to give my love to another only fills my heart with dread!
Cruel suggestion! Ah! My despair will kill me.
Do not fear, my love will never be changed.
Faithful I shall always remain.
But my affliction has caused me to falter and now my soul from grief must flee.
Are you sighing? O woe outpouring?
But all is vain to one who is begging.
O Heaven, I cannot express it!
Pity me, Heaven, see my anguish, see the grief due to my affection!
Has ever such torment plagued so faithful a heart?
Has such doom or dejection ever beset such a loyal heart?
Hateful galaxies! Vile constellations!
Why should you beset me with such sorrow? Ah, why?
Text translated from Italian from the aria by W. A. Mozart, Ch'io mi scordi di te...Non temer amato bene, K. 505. Composed for Anna Storace in 1786 as a farewell gift, to be sung at her final concert in Vienna in February 1787.

Chris Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith did not go down well with Will Smith. The comedian, who was on stage to give the Oscar for the best documentary, was subjected to a surreal slap in the face by The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, in front of an audience of totally stunned stars. It was an improbable scene for such a prestigious and globally anticipated ceremony, and one which inevitably flooded Twitter with all kinds of memes.
On social networks, memes inundated the web, comparing Will Smith's slap to the famous meme of Batman slapping Robin. And the reactions of Lupita Nyong'o and Nicole Kidman drew much response from internet users. On Twitter, users used the #whatjusthappened hashtag to react to this historic moment, bringing together the most popular memes on the platform. – AFP Relaxnews

The 2023 NFL draft saw 11 wide receivers selected before the Indianapolis Colts chose North Carolina wideout Josh Downs. But that didn’t stop Downs from making a bold statement in a video tweeted from the official Colts Twitter account.
“I’m excited to be a Colt,” Downs said. “Y’all got the best receiver in the draft. I promise you I’m gonna make you all proud.
“Let’s go. Come on. Let’s do it.”
In three seasons at North Carolina, Downs posted 202 receptions for 2,483 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns.
Josh Downs Calls Himself ‘Best Receiver’ in 2023 NFL Draft
A bulk of Downs’ production came over the last two seasons. He recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving campaigns for the Tar Heels during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
His statistics dropped from his sophomore to junior seasons, but that could be contributed to losing quarterback Sam Howell to the NFL draft last year. Even still, Downs registered a career-high 11 touchdowns with first-year starting signal caller Drake Maye.
At 5-foot-9 and 171 pounds, Downs is undersized, especially for the NFL. That’s probably why he fell into the third round.
But Downs has a lot of other characteristics to like.
“Free-flowing athlete with dynamic footwork and an instinctive feel for how to elude opponents,” NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein wrote. “Downs posted off-the-charts production over the last two seasons as an undersized slot with an oversized will. His confidence jumps off the tape and he has proven himself to be better at catching through contact than you might expect.
“Downs might not have prototypical size, but he’s well-positioned to keep stacking catches and making plays as a starting NFL slot receiver.”
Toney has yet to break out as an NFL wideout, but he’s contributed in spurts on both offense and special teams as a returner. Downs has returner ability as well.
How Downs Fits With the Colts
With his small stature, Downs definitely breaks the mold in the Indianapolis wide receiver room.
General manager Chris Ballard has primarily targeted receivers taller than six feet. With that in mind, The Athletic’s Zak Keefer called Downs “a nice change-up” for the Colts.
Keefer also tweeted on April 27 that new head coach Shane Steichen was a major factor in the Colts’ decision to draft quarterback Anthony Richardson.
“This is the Colts betting on Shane Steichen’s ability to develop a young quarterback,” The Athletic’s Zak Keefer wrote. “Richardson is just 20 years old and has so much ahead of him.”
Clearly, it appears as though Steichen is having an early impact on player personnel in Indianapolis.
Downs will join a Colts offense that has a very bright future. Michael Pittman Jr. is the elder statesman in the wide receiver room, but he will only be 25 years old in Week 1.
Opposite Pittman, Alec Pierce is expected to be Indianapolis’ No. 2 receiver this fall. The Colts also drafted him on Day 2 last year.
On paper, Pittman, Pierce and Downs figure to be an exciting trio of receivers going forward. Downs’ size should be a great compliment to those two bigger receivers.
Running back Jonathan Taylor will also be just 24 this season, and the Colts just drafted Anthony Richardson to be the franchise’s next long-term quarterback.
If Downs fulfills his promise to be the best receiver in the 2023 draft class, the Colts offense could be scary good soon.

A mere two months in the making, Into Nostalgia captures seven-year veterans The Honored Guests in a moment of return, reflection, and redemption. Born from frontman Russell Baggett’s bedroom demos, the band’s latest effort is a departure from the quartet’s usual gang-style creative process. What began as Baggett's escape from the upcoming third album, Please Try Again - a record three years in the making - quickly gained the support and focus of the full band. The resulting EP shows The Honored Guests in a sparser, more delicate light, creating rainy day indie-pop in the vein of Doves, Neil Young, and Pavement.
Into Nostalgia is the next chapter for a band that is constantly evolving. In marked contrast to Into Nostalgia’s slow burning, the band’s 2006 full-length Tastes Change was charged with "spackled, sparkling pop" (Grayson Currin, The Independent Weekly) and "thick, drippy melodies" (Flagpole Magazine). Before that, their 2004 debut album Iawokeinacityasleep saw the band – playing together since Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins ruled the airwaves – foray into "dreamy acoustic melancholy" (Raleigh Hatchet).
Ultimately, the band’s origins trace back to a basement in Fayetteville, NC, where middle-schooler Jeremy (bass) taught Baggett how to play guitar. At college in Chapel Hill, Baggett and Buenviaje met Andrew Kinghorn (drums) and formed Milo, and released their second album with Kinghorn’s recording mentor and founding member of Ben Folds Five Robert Sledge helming production. After graduation the band scattered, finding jobs and wives or losing themselves in Europe. Baggett would call Kinghorn in Spain, playing guitar riffs from a payphone in France. After returning to the States, they recruited Buenviaje and later Patrick O'Neil (keys), and The Honored Guests was born.

This paper shows how difficult it is for FTL information transfer to fit within the two main theories that currently form the hallmark of modern physics, General Relativity and Quantum Physics. In a nutshell, quantum physics says there must be instantaneous action between two distant points. This is fine as long as those two points are not moving with respect with each other. But what if those two points are in motion with respect to each other? This is where Einstein's General Theory of Relativity comes into play - if there is relativistic motion (motion comparable to the speed of light) - then your communicators will no longer be in the same frame of reference. The device that is being moved will experience less time than the device that is stationary. This means if the two devices are linked via a FTL conduit, then it would be possible to speak through them into the future or past... but this messes up the reason quantum physics is giving us the ability to link the two communicators in the first place. Quantum Mechanics always wants the connection between your two FTL communicators to be simultaneous (where the time delay between transmission and reception is always zero no matter what), but General Relativity says that since time can be distorted due to motion, simultaneity is no longer guaranteed. This is an example where each theory provides results that say exactly the opposite things. Sheesh.
How EPR Kindred Methodologies Show Disagreement Between Quantum and Relativity Theories
Which theory is right? Well, we can make speculations based on what we know about each theory. These are called Gedanken experiments - thought experiments. They come in handy especially when the would be experimenter is too poor to be able to afford to do the experiment for real, or it is just plain impossible to perform any experiment because the tools or means do not exist. Well, if we can do an experiment where one FTL communicator is kept at home and the other is accelerated close to light speed and then the transmit button is pressed, what will be the outcome? Will the other communicator instantly activate despite the fact they are no longer experiencing time the same way and proving quantum theory is correct, or will the listening device register a signal before the other communicator transmitted it, demonstrating time-parity non-conservation and proving relativity theory? What do you predict?


Since 26 September, mysterious leaks have appeared in the underwater Nord Stream gas pipelines—which run from Russia to Germany—close to the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Given the tense energy situation between Russia and the West following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a real-life geopolitical whodunit has ensued, with NATO now among those attributing the leaks to sabotage. Seismologists picked up data that might help to pinpoint the cause of the leaks, and other researchers are trying to work out how much methane—a potent greenhouse gas—will be released as a result.
Overnight on 26 September, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline’s operators saw a sudden pressure drop, from 105 bar (which is 105 times atmospheric pressure) to just 7 bar. Soon after, a 1-kilometre-wide area of the Baltic Sea’s surface was bubbling with the escaping gas.
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been shut since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, but it is still full of gas, which is assumed to be around 90% methane. The drop in pressure prompted seismologists to look more closely at their data, says Björn Lund at Uppsala University, Sweden. The attention on seismology data has made for an extraordinary week. “I’ve never experienced anything like it,” says Lund, adding that his network detected seismic activity at the same time as the leak that is consistent with explosions, not earthquakes—which have a different seismic fingerprint.
The events have also put the climate community on alert. When Andrew Baxter, once an engineer in the oil and gas industry, now the director of energy transition at the Environmental Defense Fund, based in New York City, heard about the leak in Nord Stream 2, he “switched back into engineering mode” to try to quantify the resulting methane release. “I came up with a very rough estimate, there are so many variables and unknowns here, it’s very difficult to definitively say how much methane has made it into the atmosphere,” he says.
Baxter estimated that 115,000 tonnes of methane had probably been released during the initial sudden pressure drop in Nord Stream 2, on the basis of the pipe’s dimensions and the water temperature. Per unit mass, methane has a much more potent greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide—particularly in the short term. Baxter says the overall impact of this leak is equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from two million cars.
“If these numbers end up being confirmed, it would be the one of the largest single leaks of natural gas in history in a single location,” says Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth, a data-analysis non-profit organization in California. But he adds that this doesn’t fundamentally change the magnitude of global emissions.
The event, although huge, accounts for around 0.14% of the global annual methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, says Mark Davis, chief executive of Capterio, a company in London that tracks gas flares from industry, but which didn’t detect the vented gas because it isn’t burning. He argues that, once the leak was discovered, setting it alight could have mitigated much of the damage, by converting the methane to carbon dioxide. Since the initial pressure drop in Nord Stream 2, leaks have also been reported in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which runs alongside it and is also currently not operational.
Measuring precisely how much methane has been emitted is going to take time. Efforts so far have been hampered by the quirks of geography and bad luck. The public satellites that environmental observations rely on were not facing the right way at the time, says Itziar Irakulis-Loitxate at Valencia Polytechnic University, Spain, who uses satellite data to measure atmospheric methane levels. And the cloud cover common at the northern latitudes meant that it was almost impossible to get any data. That is on top an inherent challenge in monitoring methane over water: water absorbs most of the sunlight and masks any signal from methane in a spectrometer.
The methane spike was detected from the ground by at least one observatory: the Swedish station of the European Integrated Carbon Observation System project at Hyltemossa.
In the coming days and weeks, scientists will continue to try to understand how much methane has been released as a result of the leaks. Seismologists might also be able to help to determine how the pipes were ruptured. By comparing the seismic data they collected on the Nord Stream explosions with that from previous naval blasts, Lund and his team already suspect TNT.
Lund and his colleagues are scrambling to work out from their seismic data exactly how many blasts occurred, but he notes that the complex geology of Earth’s crust in the region between Denmark and Sweden makes it hard. “There’s a very big change in the thickness of the crust of the rock material,” he says.

The stock market's inability to get going this year is frustrating bulls. In our view, bulls should be careful what they wish for, as the path of least resistance seems to be downward.
We regard the market's three-month sidestep as more worrisome than a clean break lower would have been. When a market breaks a clear trend with an extended sideways movement, we always assume the new trend, when it comes, will be opposite of the prior prevailing pattern. A clean break lower off 2013's rally year might have been a buyable dip, or a healthy consolidation beneath the next leg higher.
A sideways-trending market, signaling a fierce bull-bear tussle beneath the surface, may mean a new dynamic is coalescing. Bulls have the numbers and last year's momentum, but are frankly looking complacent. Bears have conviction, but have yet to demonstrate the weakening data to back that conviction.
Dusting off the Record Book
What a difference a year makes. As March 2013 gave way to April, investors were high-fiving one another. The S&P 500 rose 10% in the first quarter of 2013, which was better than the full-year performance for 14 out of 33 years on the index since 1980. The S&P 500 went on to deliver 30% capital appreciation and 32% total return in 2013, making it the best year of the bull market that began in March 2009.
This year, the S&P rose about a percentage point in 1Q14, after coming into the final two trading days dead even with the opening level. The slight win in the first quarter reflects relative quiescence among Russian troops mulling about the Eastern border of Ukraine. Even though the market barely missed a negative 1Q, there is little to cheer about 1Q14. We have all heard about the January effect; could there be an equally onerous first-quarter effect?
Consider that in the 34 trading years between 1980 and 2013, the S&P 500 has averaged 2.7% capital appreciation in the first quarter and 9.6% capital appreciation for the full year. Carve out the down first quarters, however, and the picture is not so pretty. The eleven negative first quarters on the S&P 500 since 1980 have been precursor to an average 0.9% decline in those eleven full years. Of course there are a few distorting years in the mix. The year 2002 was fractionally negative in 1Q02; toss out 2002, and the full-year capital appreciation for those 10 years with down first-quarters swings to a positive 1.4%. Still, that is a far cry from 9.6% average gains for 1980-2013 overall.
Rather than being negative, 1Q14 was one of those periods in which the market did not move conclusively in either direction. Before we get to why the market is standing still, what can we learn from those three years in our survey period - 1981, 2002, and 2007 - when the S&P 500 finished unchanged on March 31 from the preceding year-end? In retrospect, we can see that those were all recessionary years: in the middle of recession in 1981, readying to exit recession in 2002, and on the cusp of an historical downturn in 2007. That should certainly give pause. But there are no signs of a purely economic recession on this year's horizon.
Why should we care what the market did in those distant years? We never set our course by past performance. But experienced traders are aware of past trends and seasonal patterns. Traders and investors are not looking to blaze trails; they're looking to do what everyone else is doing, just one step ahead. With this mentality setting the course, any market falling into a familiar pattern risks locking in a well-worn trend.
The Current Environment
Blowing the dust off the history books only takes us so far. Why is the market standing still this year? Maybe we can start by wondering why the stock market hasn't tanked this year. The most important growth engine of the past decade, China, has stalled. And Russia is acting with impunity in Ukraine.
China is our second largest trading partner, accounting for 14.6% of 2013 U.S. total trade, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. But China, while providing us with 19% of our imports, accounts for jut 8% of our exports. Our largest trading partner, Canada (16.5% of total trade) and our second-largest, Mexico (13.2% of total trade), each has a better balance of imports and exports; and both are meaningfully larger importers of our goods. A struggling China is not at risk of losing its appetite for our goods, because it has never had much appetite for our goods. Bottom line: China's recent stutter-steps are unlikely to meaningfully impair S&P 500 earnings prospects this year.
Before becoming too shocked by Russia's incursion into Crimea, it is worth remembering that Russia has always acted with impunity in Ukraine. The period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 2014 Winter Olympics was the aberration in Russia's relation with its neighbor, not the other way around. And Crimea has often been seen as part of Russia. In 1954, the Soviet Union transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR) to the Ukrainian SSR with a single-paragraph decree.
In the U.S., the takeover of Crimea has set off a round of party politics. Partisan bickering lessens the likelihood of a unified response, while serving as a cover for increasingly isolationist tendencies that erode our role as "global cop." The evolving U.S. realpolitik borrows from Europe, where Russian belligerence is nothing new and where individual nations are watching their own borders without promising to safeguard anyone else's.
If Russian imperialism and Chinese deceleration are insufficient to send the stock market lower, something must be propping it up. Stock market appreciation correlates with earnings growth; we continue to model high single digit EPS growth for the S&P 500 for the next two years. On the economic front, domestic economic data is improving, as we have detailed recently. Tapering of QE is a sign of Federal Reserve confidence in the economy, while steepening in the yield curve is a sign of investor confidence in economic acceleration. As winter recedes, the U.S. consumer seems to be feeling better. Europe appears to be stabilizing, and we are seeing a broadening in emerging economy growth (albeit at the expense of China).
Now that 2014's going-nowhere first quarter is over, April is here with its history of better returns. April has averaged 1.61% capital appreciation since 1980, second best of any month (behind December) in the that 33-year time span. The 1Q14 reporting season starts around mid-April, providing CFOs an opportunity to look ahead - too frequently offering best possible outcomes from behind rose-colored glasses.
As the working year plays out, reality intrudes in the form of bad weather, geopolitical events, cautious customers and fickle consumers. CFOs hedge their formerly too rosy guidance. That may partly explain why the summer months of June, July, and August have barely averaged a 50% win rate on the S&P 500 since 1980.
By the time August is over, we are eight months into the year. Given this dud of a first quarter, it's getting late early, as the oracle Yogi Berra once said. The pressure is on April and, yes, even May, to give the market some momentum before we head into the summer doldrums.
