That’s what finally happened yesterday and I saw Doon in the cinema. It was almost unreal that the film finally made its way to the screens. I save a table of contents for this point, because you either know it or can read it in many other places.
Since I don’t go into direct content: SPOILER-FREE
What Villeneuve speculates here is actually a bow to the work of Frank Herbert. After all, my biggest worry was that the litterateur would never be able to do justice to him again. The novel “Dune” was previously considered too heavy and difficult. The ’80s version of Lynch was also quite entertaining and had a great show value for its time, but at the end of the day it was only a rough outline or interpretation of Herbert’s work. But Villeneuve has already proved with “Blade Runner 2049” what he can do if you look at him and see…
DUNE (Part 1) is a visually stunning epic. A job that you don’t get to see everyday. Whether it’s the panorama images of Arakis, the giant designs of spaceships and other aircraft or land vehicles, the play of light and color, but also scenes in which the main focus is on the characters. Everything leaves the impression of something very special. Above all, everything is perfectly staged as Villeneuve doesn’t make any busy pictures. Each sequence gives enough time to properly capture the real splendor. So you can say that the camera work and editing is like perfection.
Nothing could have been better in terms of set design and costume. Minimal and basically admirably true, even the smallest of details are meticulously and lavishly created here. You can really notice how important this work is to Villeneuve when people work with so much love.
What would dunes be without sand worms!?! These don’t often appear in Part 1, but when these giants hit the screen, they seem like the epitome of epic bombshells. Definitely an improvement over the old movie version.
In terms of content, I also noticed a lot of small details that I can still remember from the book and in turn I didn’t see any major scenes that I would have missed from the template. The story couldn’t have been seen better for the film’s medium. A little anecdote on the shore… which I didn’t even see in the book: Bagpiper Landing in Arrakis and Accordingly Water World Similarities between Caledon and Latin Caledonia (Scotland).
Actors are confident across the board, even though Chalamet as Paul Atreides and Ferguson as Lady Jessica represent the central focus and therefore could shine more. Timothée Chalamet is an excellent choice for a lead role especially if you know the character Paul and you have a direct comparison in mind. Only Momoa was staged a bit as a “friend” to me as Duncan Idaho. I didn’t have it in my mind now, but you can leave that as an explanation, because I didn’t realize that you would be unfaithful to the “character arc”.
The sound was impressive and powerful, for example during explosions, and puts you in the center of the action. In quiet moments it is as pleasantly gentle as the wind whispering over the Arrakis dunes. So all is well. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Hans Zimmer’s score. It’s discreetly imperceptible in the best moments, but often manifests much more penetratingly in more dynamic scenes, making it look like a mere “boom”. You can’t keep up with the class of pictures here, but at most moments you actually make your way through the film quite passively. As anticipated, the film score of the Lynch film, which was reputedly staged by Toto, is unmatched.
Since I have seen the film in 3D, I can also say that these effects are quite subtle. In my opinion it would not be needed and in theory I would prefer to see a 2D version. (didn’t work for us) So I would rate it as neutral. No added value, but not negative either.
As MJ himself wrote… Frank Herbert would be proud of this movie. Villeneuve managed to adapt the work “Dune”, despite its “heaviness”, to the screen as massively and honestly as possible. The film is an epic masterpiece whose likes haven’t been seen in cinema for a long time for the scifi genre. So you can already talk about the film of the year, as there is no competition in sight, which will come even closer to the orbit of Doon.
Film is definitely not mainstream as we know it nowadays. The film is too quiet for that, too slow and has very little “boom boom”. But “Dune” comes across as a time when SciFi told stories that work even beneath the surface and like to raise philosophical questions.
Of course we’re only talking about Part 1 here, but with regards to the range and quality of this debut, I’m no longer worried about implementation.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, functional diagnostics and can be used for preclinical, predoctoral examination, assessment of the functional state of body organs and systems, and pre-diagnosis. The method involves measuring electrical conductivity (EC) of 24 representing points of 12 symmetrical meridians, determining an arithmetic mean (AM) value of these measurements and specifying a corridor of permissible values for this patient, to which the derived values are compared in order to assess the functional state of the patient's body. That involves using the following criteria: a ratio of total ECs of Yin meridian points to total ECs of Yang meridian points, a ratio of total ECs of arm points to total ECs of leg points, a ratio of total ECs of left-side points to total ECs of right-side points. ECs are measured at voltages 5V, and/or 9V, and/or 12V. If the measurements are taken at 9V, the measured ECs are re-calculated by formula: I new=9/(29/I measured-0.1)*Coeff, (I); if the measurement process is performed at 12V, the measured values are re-calculated by formula: I new=9/(29/I measured-0.1)*Coeff, (I); and at 5V: I new=1 measured*Coeff, (III), wherein in (I), (II) and (III) respectively: I new is the re-calculated EC; I measured is the measured EC; Coeff is a correction coefficient taking into account a meridian conductivity heterogeneity. The re-calculated values are transformed into adjusted ones by formula: I adjusted=I new/I mean, wherein: I adjusted is the adjusted EC; I new is the non-adjusted re-calculated EC; I mean is the arithmetic mean value of all the 24 measurements. That is followed by delimiting an individual normal corridor for this patient depending on the preset diagnostic sensitivity S and a width of corridor of the permissible EC values Wpv. The Wpv represents a range of EC values measured in this patient, whereas the diagnostic sensitivity S is specified depending on selecting the patients with a certain disease. Delimiting the individual normal corridor for this patient is ensured by measuring intermediate coefficients for lower Kl and upper Ku corridor limits respectively: Kl=1-(1-S)*Wpv/2.1 and Ku=1+(1-Kl)*1.1. Lower L and upper U limits of the individual normal corridor are determined: L=Kl* I mean and U=Ku* I mean. That is followed by comparing I adjusted to the derived limits of the individual normal corridor.
EFFECT: method provides high accuracy of the individual diagnosis.

In this article, we have picked and tested the top 10 Best Tactical Dog Harness. How do you train your dog without hurting him or her? This question has plagued dog owners for years.
If you’ve ever tried to get your dog to stand still during training, you know how challenging it can be. The problem is that dogs don’t always respond well to harsh methods. Fortunately, there are alternatives to traditional training methods.
Traditional training involves using a leash and commands such as sit, stay, down and come. While these methods work, they can cause serious injury to both humans and animals. In fact, studies show that some trainers even kill their dogs during training sessions.
There are other ways to teach your dog obedience. These include positive reinforcement techniques, clickers and treats.
What Is a Tactical Harness?
A tactical dog harness is a type of dog collar that has a retractable leash attached to it. It allows you to control your dog from a distance by using the leash. The harness is designed to fit around your dog’s neck so that they cannot remove it easily. This makes it safe for them to move around freely without being tied down.
How Does a Tactical Harness Work?
A tactical dog harness is designed specifically for dogs who are trained to perform military tasks. It consists of two main parts — a chest plate and a head collar. The chest plate has a number of attachment points where you can attach items like a radio, flashlight, or weapon. The head collar connects to the chest plate and helps keep the dog from pulling away from the handler.
Benefits of Using a Tactical Harness
A tactical dog harness allows you to carry your dog in comfort while keeping him safe and secure. It is made from durable nylon webbing and includes adjustable straps so it will fit all dogs. The leash attaches to the harness using a carabiner clip which makes it easy to attach and detach.
Top [10+] Best Tactical Dog Harness
TRI CLOUD SPORTS TACTICAL DOG VEST
The vest comes in two sizes – small (fits dogs weighing between 20kg and 30kg) and large (fits dogs weighing between 35kg and 50kg). It has four pockets for water bottles and food, and it’s made from breathable material so it won’t restrict movement. There’s also a leash attachment point if you want to take your pet out for walks.
ICEFANG TACTICAL DOG HARNESS
The ICEFANG Tactical Dog harness is designed to hold dogs in place during tactical situations. It has four straps that attach around the neck and chest area and two straps that attach to the front legs. This allows you to secure your dog in place without having to tie them down.
ONETIGRIS TACTICAL DOG HARNESS
The one thing I love most about this product is its versatility. It works great for dogs who are pulling a cart or riding in a car, but it also works well for dogs who want to pull a sled or backpack. This is a great option if you’re looking for something versatile and easy to use.
EXCELLENT ELITE SPANKER TACTICAL DOG VEST
The Elite Spanker Tactical Dog Vest is the perfect solution for any situation where you want to keep your dog safe and secure. This vest has a built-in leash holder, adjustable shoulder straps, and a chest strap so it will fit most dogs. It comes with a heavy-duty nylon webbing leash and a carabiner clip.

The tactical dog harness is designed to fit around the neck and chest area of dogs. It has a quick-release buckle so it can be removed quickly if needed. This allows the wearer to move freely without worrying about the dog getting loose.
FIVEWOODY TACTICAL SERVICE DOG HARNESS
The Tactical Dog Harness is designed to fit any size dog, from small breeds like Chihuahuas to large dogs like Great Danes. It has adjustable straps so it will fit most dogs comfortably. The leash attachment allows you to attach a leash at any point along the length of the belt. This makes it easy to move around without having to worry about getting tangled in the leash.
PETVINS TACTICAL DOG MOLLE HARNESS
The petvins tactical dog molle harness is designed to keep dogs safe and comfortable during hikes. It has two main features: a chest strap and a waist belt. The chest strap goes around the dog’s chest and holds it securely in place. The waist belt goes around the dog’s waist and keeps them from slipping out of the harness. This makes the petvins tactical dog.
Better Control Over the Dog
The best way to control a dog is by using a leash. A leash allows you to hold onto the dog at all times, which gives you better control over it. If you don’t want to use a leash, then you should consider getting a collar. Collars allow you to keep the dog close but still give you some freedom.
Are Tactical Harnesses More Functional Than Other Types?
A tactical dog harness is a great option if you want something that will fit well and look good but isn’t too bulky. It has a lot of padding around the chest area so it won’t chafe against your dog’s skin. It also comes with a leash attachment point which makes it easy to attach to your dog’s collar.
How is a Tactical Dog Harness Different?
A tactical dog harness is made from durable nylon webbing and includes adjustable shoulder straps and chest straps. It has two large loops at the top of each side so it can fit around most dogs. The chest strap features a quick-release buckle so you can easily remove it if needed.
If you have a dog who needs to be controlled when performing certain tasks, then a tactical dog harness may be right for you.
They come in different sizes and styles and provide excellent protection for your dog while allowing you to control him safely. Finally, we conclude with the article about the Best Tactical Dog Harness.

Following a minutes silence at the start of the match for Armistice day the newly formed Ladies 4ths quickly settled into a hard fought match against Northallerton 2. Some nice passing play by both teams ensured that the match was even with a great deal of end to end play. Northallerton took the lead in the first half and despite some good chances and lots of pressure towards the end of the game Thirsk were unable to put the ball in the net.
A great performance by all with a team consisting of juniors, back to hockey players and a couple of mature ladies!
Thanks especially to Ellie Skippings for all her help today.
Player of the match Chelsea Perrett in goal.
Well done everyone, I hope you enjoyed it!

On Friday, June 13, KidSport Parkland hosted its second annual golf tournament fundraiser at the Stony Plain Golf Course.
The event was sponsored by Thompson Bros. Construction and Manulife Securities, and included dinner, a live auction and a 50/50 draw.
Fundraising efforts were also made by some little volunteers during the event, which was a crowd favourite of those in attendance.
“The most exciting part for us was having a group of about eight kids work (to) sell bracelets,” said tournament chair Chris Wylie.
“They have been working on this project for about three months making bracelets after school.”
The kids raised $1,250 from the sales of their elastic band bracelets.
These funds, along with the other proceeds, will go directly to local kids, helping to alleviate the financial burdens that often accompany organized sports.
This financial assistance will help cover the costs of registration fees and sports equipment for young athletes aged 18 and under.
Approximately $34,000 was raised at this year’s tournament, which is roughly the same amount raised last year.
This year, about 200 local kids will enjoy the financial benefits provided by KidSport Parkland, with each child receiving up to $400.
“Hopefully we will be able to increase our limits and reach even more kids,” Wylie said.
“KidSport plays a really valuable role in the community by making sure all kids receive the benefit of organized sport.”
According to the KidSport Canada website, participation in organized sport programs provides numerous benefits to young people, including the promotion of a healthy, active life style.
One of KidSport’s goals is to represent not only families with financial burdens, but also youth with social, physical or literary barriers.
On June 17, KidSport Canada announced it had distributed approximately $6 million in grants to about 57,000 kids across the country.

If you haven't had a chance to see Brett Epstein's one acts, FEAR NOT because he is workshopping a selection of his many quippy, poignant, and darkly comedic short plays. Last month, alongside about ten other actors, and under the direction of David Monteagudo, I played Lexie in AFTER THE BACHELORETTE. Lexie, the runner-up in the popular ABC reality show, returns home to her sister's house after leaving the mansion. While attempting to defend the life choices that brought her to this point, she ends up with the sad realization that her excuse for a fun life may be just the thing bringing her the most unhappiness.
Stay tuned for updates on this project! And find out more about Brett at itsbrett.net


Canada has a growing rate in oxycodone addiction among teens. Dennis Franklin Cromarty High school has come up with a solution to this problem. The school has created an in-house treatment solution to get the teens off the drug. This is believed to be the first program of its kind in Canada.
The principal of the school, Jonathan Kakegamic, stated that it is no secret Canada is dealing with a crises caused by the drug. Oxycodone is a painkiller prescribed but doctors. It has become so popular with the adolescent community that it has hit the black market and is easily accessible on the streets.
The program is 14 days long and is funded by federal and provincial governments. It is housed at an off-site doctor’s office, and conducted by a pair of volunteer doctors and 4 nurses who are paid through the Local Health Integration Network. Suboxone pills are utilized to offset the intense To withdrawal symptoms. Mae Katt who is a nurse practitioner at Dennis Franklin Cromarty for the past eight years said “We know that the students have been short-term users, so they don’t have a lot of long history of addiction. They’re not using other drugs other than the opioid, so for that profile we’re looking at detoxification for them as something that’s very possible.”
The most fascinating part of this is that the students stood up to the plate and asked for help themselves. They had no idea they would become addicted to oxycodoen since the addiction profile of this drug is not advertised anywhere. Jonathan Kakegamic is proud of those who have stepped forward to tackle to their addiction. “it takes a solid, human strong soul to say, ‘im going to quit this drug’” he stated.
In my opinion I think it is great there is a program like this available for students who want the help and are willing to get it. It would be great if more schools in the United States could model themselves after this High School and try to combat teenage drug addiction.

August 18, 2013 will be a big day for gaming fans who have a love of all thing Disney. That is the day when the VERY much anticipated Disney Infinity will be released!
What is Disney’s Infinity? A couple of months ago I wrote that, “Disney’s Infinity is a new multi-platform gaming “world,” (for lack of a better word). It’s part-Sims, part-Skylander, part-Minecraft, part-awesome. But best of all, Infinity is an innovative, pioneering and brand spanking new way to engage with beloved Disney/Pixar characters. Think of it as a limitless interactive mash-up incorporating all things Disney.” Yes, it sounds like it will be awesome, and it sounded like a blast to create!
This week Disney released this behind the scenes look at the making of Infinity. Check it out below!

In her book Release Me: My entire life, My personal Conditions, she managed new relationship rumors you to definitely emerged throughout the this lady and fifty Cent when they worked with her regarding 2004 in order to 2007. She asserted that, as they had an expanding appeal, they never ever dated. They’d a life threatening discussion about any of it and you can thought that looking for a love is also risky, so they really made a decision to remain things professional.
Considering Olivia, aka brand new “Very first People off Grams-Product,” fifty Penny told her, “We could never ever cross you to definitely range, just like the I believe it can damage that which you. There can be much too much money are produced, and you will along with, I understand your is not that sort of hottie. I have plenty of esteem to you personally, and so i won’t also are you willing to by doing this.

Now that Bob Bratkowski has been fired (that just rolls off the tongue like the strings off of a harp being played in heaven), the Bengals will have to consider who will replace him.
Many consider Bengals quarterback coach Ken Zampese to be a favorite. And in truth, it makes sense why he would be.
The first thought that popped in my head was, did they do this to accommodate Carson Palmer? Is this one of those things that the team believed will give Palmer a great chance to succeed, as they've reportedly wanted to do? If that's the case, then what coach would have a better understanding of the quarterback than the quarterbacks coach, Ken Zampese?
Additionally, Zampese has worked under the same Bob Bratkowski offensive system for the past eight seasons. And the system has worked for a time, ranking in the top ten for three seasons. It's the play-calling that's often been the downfall of Bratkowski. However, if there is a work stoppage, it wouldn't take players time to adjust to the new terminology and philosophy that comes with a new system because it's already in place.
There's always a chance that the Bengals look beyond their own house for a replacement, like Jim Zorn. But this isn't a normal offseason that's clouded with uncertainty regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Either way, we actually didn't expect the Bengals to pull the trigger on Bratkowski. So who knows what they'll do now.

Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) - American journalist Steven Sotloff began his last journey into Syria with a surprise gift for his fixer, Yosef Abobaker. It was a small camera.
"Happy birthday!" Sotloff told his guide, whom Sotloff had befriended a year earlier by interviewing Abobaker's father about the Syrian civil war.
Then came the real surprise for the two men: about 15 masked ISIS gunmen jumped out of three cars and took them captive, beginning a dark tale that eventually led to Abobaker's release, but ended in Sotloff's beheading.
In an interview with CNN this week, Abobaker provided a detailed account of how he, Sotloff and three armed guards were abducted in Syria by ISIS fighters in August 2013, but since then, never once did U.S. officials try to interview Abobaker about his first-hand experience with ISIS and its captivity of Sotloff.
Gaza (CNN) - Hamas and Israel blamed one another Tuesday for the lack of a cease-fire in a conflict that has left more than 1,200 people dead, raising questions about just what it will take to end the fighting in Gaza.
International efforts to broker a deal to end the violence failed again, with Hamas rejecting a cease-fire proposal put forward by the Palestinian Authority that called for a 24-hour truce that could be extended to 72 hours. Hamas maintains that any deal must include an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said any truce must allow for its protection against tunnels used by Palestinian militants in Gaza to make their way into Israel.
"Hamas is responsible for all deaths on their side and on our side because they are the ones who kept this conflict going," Mark Regev, a spokesman for Netanyahu, told CNN.

Despite it’s name, buckwheat is not a grain at all. It is the seed of a flowering shrub, closely related to rhubarb, and is grown in many countries throughout the world. It’s seeds are rich in many of the minerals that are needed for healthy living – manganese, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and zinc – as well as several B-vitamins, dietary fibre and resistant starch, which studies suggest may lower blood sugar level. They are also mucilaginous, meaning that once they are soaked and ground, they don’t require any binding agent to set during baking.
The Teatime is a decadent treat for the healthy eater. Made with sun-dried raisins, spiced with cinnamon and ginger, and sweetened with natural stevia extract, it’s like a slice of toasted hot-cross bun, ready to enjoy with a cup of tea…whenever you feel the need!

Should Recording Artists Skip Explicit Performances at Award Shows?
Fergie 2012/07/02 19:00:00
Jay-Z, Kanye West, Chris Brown and Beyonce all won big last night at the BET awards. The awards show featured a tribute to Whitney Houston and many other performances from award winners. Unfortunately, many of the performances were heavily censored resulting in long moments of awkward silence for TV viewers. Should artists opt for more "TV-friendly" performances at televised award shows? Or should they perform their songs exactly how they were written?
Entire segments of performances, from Nicki Minaj to Rick Ross, were muted out due to foul language and obscenities, though several vulgarities were heard on air.

TV studios quietly adding closed-captioned episodes to iTunes StoreTelevision studios have quietly begun adding closed captioning to a small selection of the TV shows on offer in Apple's iTunes Store.
Fox, FX, CW and ABC are among the studios that have added closed captions to TV shows on iTunes. Specific shows include "Sons of Anarchy," "New Girl," "Switched at Birth" and "The Secret Circle," though, in general, only the current season of these shows carries support for captions.
It's not exactly clear when the first captioned TV shows arrived on the iTunes Store, but as late as last month, reports claimed that no TV shows on Apple's digital storefront offered the feature. Most of the shows providing the closed-captioning are from the fall 2011 TV lineup and have only been added recently.
Apple has for several years now offered closed captioning for movies, even providing a way to search exclusively for movies that support the feature. The company has yet to add the search criteria to the corresponding Power Search for TV shows in iTunes.
Last month, Apple removed the option of renting TV shows for 99-cents from iTunes and the Apple TV, after iTunes customers showed they "overwhelmingly preferred buying TV shows."
The company does, however, appear poised to make further inroads into the living room. According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Apple is developing a "new technology" to deliver video to televisions. Also, rumors of an Apple-branded smart television have picked up steam in recent months, with a few reports speculating that an Apple TV set could arrive as early as next year.

Featuring a number of essays published for the first time, this collection of writings by the inspirational structural engineer Ove Arup provides valuable insight into one of the greatest minds the field has witnessed.
The founder of the eponymous engineering firm, which continues to realize seminal projects around the world, Ove Arup is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant engineers of his time. Generated over the course of his illustrious career, these lectures, essays, and interviews broadly share several themes: insight into Arup’s thinking on the nature of good design, quality and value in the built environment, and the growing need for better collaboration between engineers, architects, and contractors in order to exploit technological advances in materials and methods, while at the same time reducing the environmental impact of building. These chronologically arranged essays span five decades, and many of the themes they address are as relevant today as they were when first produced. Illustrating wisdom, practical problem solving, and Arup’s philosophical approach, this book is a necessary and long-overdue addition to the library of anyone who has a passion for, and an interest in, the principles of great design.

Life On The Border: Constructing The México/u.s. Borderlands, 1961-1971.
In 1961, Mexican President Adolfo López Mateos launched a program that at- tempted to reinvigorate and develop the northern borderland region of México. The Programa Nacional Fronterizo (National Border Program, PRONAF) sought, among its established goals, to: “improve the general environment of the border cities… Promote the constant raising of the cultural standards of the population…and stress the values of our history, folklore, language, culture and arts.” Through projects of urban beautifica- tion, it would build the entrance gates of the country, and civic, cultural and commercial centers that would attract and maintain a certain type of tourism.
I argue that Mario Pani’s master plans not only sought to exalt Mexico’s national identity through an architecture, at once both modern and yet appearing to be linked to an indigenous past; but that the few actual built projects were an architecture of hybrid- ity, that of resistance to, and assimilation of, the post-war American way of life in the midst of Cold War politics. While the Mexican centralist government wanted to prevent the Americanization of the borderlands by building the last cultural frontline that would remind fronterizos of their mexicanidad, it also wanted to build “the biggest storefront” that, by leveraging on the purchasing power of its northern neighbor, would allow Méxi- co to be seen as an equal participant in the new world economy.

There are many who feel that Leviticus is a dry, dull, and boring book. That is not so. The gospel is the life, the teachings, and the cross of Jesus, the Son of God. The only way that a person in this present age can have the forgiveness of sin and peace with God is through the gospel of Jesus, the Son of God. The gospel is not dull and boring. It is the most read, the most cherished, the most translated, and the most published literature in the entire world. However, the Law of Moses, and the Levitical sacrifices that were part of that law, was the gospel of the Israelites. It was through the Law of Moses and the Levitical sacrifices that a person who lived before Christ could have the forgiveness of sin and peace with God, and therefore it cannot be dull and boring.
This book offers a clear view of Leviticus by explaining the purpose of each of the Levitical sacrifices, what they accomplished, and how they were fulfilled in Christ. It views the purpose of the three feasts of the Jews and their spiritual fulfillment in Christ—the Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, or the Feast of Ingathering.
The Passover originated by the firstborn son and beast of the Israelites being spared from death by the sprinkling of blood of a lamb on the doorpost of their houses when the Death Angel (Jehovah) passed over Egypt and killed all of the firstborn of all Egypt that did not have that blood sprinkled on their houses. The Passover feast of celebration after the original Passover, every year, was also the celebration of the beginning of the grain harvest (Exodus 9:30-31). Jesus is the spiritual fulfillment of the Passover. On the Passover Day that Jesus died on the cross, he sprinkled his own blood on his own house (1 Peter 1:1-2), the church (1 Timothy 3:15), and he spared all who are in his house from death, and they are the firstborn (Hebrews 12:22-24). On that Passover day of the Cross Jesus also began the spiritual harvest of souls for his kingdom, the church.
Pentecost, fifty days after the Passover, was a celebration of the end of the grain harvest. The spiritual fulfillment of Pentecost was that Pentecostal day that the Holy Spirit came and convicted 3,000 souls to repent and obey the gospel of God (Acts 2). That was the spiritual fulfillment of the Pentecostal feast, when all the souls that had been prepared by the teaching of Christ and his apostles was harvested and the church, the kingdom of God, had its beginning.
The Feast of In-gathering, or the Feast of Harvest, was celebrated at the end of Israel’s year, and it was a celebration of the protection that God had for Israel in their forty-years of wilderness wanderings, and a celebration of the harvest of all the produce of the land for the entire year. That feast has not yet been fulfilled. It will be fulfilled when Christ comes again and all the dead are raised, and all of the living souls, with all of the resurrected souls that were raised from the dead are all gathered together—the spiritual in-gathering of all souls from Adam to the end of time—and they shall all appear before the judgment seat of God. That day will also reveal the protection the saints had in their wilderness wandering during the time they lived in this present evil world and were protected by the promises of God (Heb 13:5-6; Rom 8:31-32; Phil 4:4-7).
This book views leprosy as a type of sin. The horrible visible effects of leprosy that can be clearly seen, that is, the devastation that leprosy causes to the human body and all physical things that it touches—which is what sin does in the spiritual world to the human soul and spirit, and all spiritual things that sin touches.
