Ah, Doctor Strange, that movie that everyone thought was going to flop because there's no way a spiritual superhero could translate to the big screen, but then ended up making millions and being nominated for Academy Awards? Classic. It's strange. Baby, who am I to judge? We know, it's spirituality isn't exactly hidden, in fact it's pretty in your face, so instead we're going to look at things a little differently this time around. And I'm ready for that. Try me, Beyonce. At its heart, Doctor Strange is a movie about surrendering to the self, the true self. It's about a journey of transcendent inner standing that is mirrored in Stephen's journey from the West to the East. Yet, perhaps one of the most amazing things about this movie lies in its depiction of spirituality from a Western viewpoint or perception, and in what way that can teach us about ourselves and our relationship with such concepts. And from the outset, there's some kind of bias inherent in the name, Doctor Strange. It's not a story of science or anything close to what we tend to understand in the Western world. It's a bit... strange. Ok, ok, but seriously, this movie is important for a number of reasons, the least of which being that it's spirituality's grand debut in the forefront of the MCU. Up until this point, every superhero on the big screen has been the result of scientific research, some accident involving genetics, or radiation, or a great feat of engineering. There really haven't been many spiritual concepts that made it big like this. What's even more special about Doctor Strange, though, is that it flips the concept of a superhero on its head. There's nothing inherently special about Stephen. Sure, he has a genius IQ and is a good doctor, but otherwise he's just a normal guy.  That is, until he undergoes a training montage that even Sylvester Stallone would be envious of. The point being, Strange's powers don't come by accident, they come from study and practice, years of it. Here we find this idea that literally anyone could go to comartage and learn from the ancient one to understand their inner self, regardless of background or ability. Like the western egocentric view that only special individuals can have powers, here spirituality is akin to knowledge that anyone can gain and understand. A universal concept, one that isn't limited to special people, but is part of a universal truth and relationship to the soul of the individual. From the very opening scene, we're shown one of the most important aspects of western life, an emphasis on the physical senses, most notably touch, in the form of his handwashing. This sets the stage for a transition to occur, one from a focus on the outward physical world to the inward energetic one. On the surface, you might just think that the scene is foreshadowing his accident, but it actually goes a lot deeper. See, in today's world, our hands are, for many, the first point of contact with our physical surroundings. And while we can see or hear things happening to us, it's that sense of touch that really anchors us and allows us to interact with the material world. But Stephen's true power isn't in his hands, his physical body, but in his mind, and how he uses it. By losing the main way of interacting with his physical life, he is set on a path of discovery that ultimately leads to an understanding that the outward world is simply a reflection of our inner one, and that the physical senses are useless unless interpreted inwardly. Ironically, once he encounters a problem that he can't physically solve, his attempt to heal actually ends up healing his inner self, which eventually begins to correct his physical self. So I guess, first he cleans his hands, then he cleans his soul. After exhausting every possible scientific cure, he turns to a kind of faith that one man's miracle might set the stage for his own. And he travels to the Kamar Taj Monastery in Nepal. Forget everything you think you know. All right? Once there, he tries to bring his scientific understanding into the new world by talking of cellular regeneration and surgery, but is stopped in his tracks with pictures of the chakras and acupuncture diagrams. Both traditional methods of healing in their own right in the eastern world, ones that treat the body as a whole rather than something made up of individual parts. Almost instantly, that sense of wonder and belief that was present before shifts into ridicule and denial, thinking he's accidentally walked into some kind of guru gift shop. Kamar Taj, after all, is set a short walk away from one of Kathmandu's busiest commercial and tourist neighborhoods, full of people wanting to read your future. Sound familiar? His reaction is typical of a Western scientific perception of the East. There's no such thing as spirit. We are made of matter and nothing more.  This is the first thought that they have when exposed to anything remotely spiritual that someone is trying to sell you something or that the beliefs are just that, beliefs. Believe me, going around talking about chakras, energy, and vibration definitely seems to get a lot of debunkery videos made about you. But isn't it interesting that concepts of spirituality in the West seem to be so firmly rooted in commercialism? And yet, material wealth seems so at odds with the core tenets of many Eastern spiritualities. In our society, spiritual knowledge is presented as something we can buy or have, and in doing so, it makes us overlook it and at times outright deny it, as hearsay. One of the best scenes in the movie is his whole psychedelic trip scene during astral projection, which in itself is one of the better representations of plant medicine experiences Hollywood has ever given us. And it also marks a key shift in the story, a point where his understanding is shattered and he's quite literally pushed into this new world of the spiritual by the ancient one. Under the surface, this speaks volumes to how we understand Eastern practices today. It emphasizes the fact that many times, people almost need some kind of push or leap in that direction to even consider the possibility that there's something worth pursuing there. In honor of the magnificence of the scene, I'd like to read a short quote from the ancient one, an invitation for all of us to connect with the fabric of reality on a deeper level. You think you know how this world works? You think that this material universe is all there is? What is real? What mysteries lies beyond the reaches of your senses? At the root of existence, mind and matter meet. Thoughts, shape, reality. And what happens next? As soon as Steven gets the push, as soon as his crown chakra is blasted open, revealing that he doesn't even know what he doesn't know, he falls to his knees in complete awe and wonder and begs to be taught. It's interesting. The way that Doctor Strange becomes a superhero is very similar to Tony Stark, but traveling in the opposite direction. Where, as we explored in our Iron Man video, Tony moves from the root and up into the heart, Doctor Strange goes the other way. From the root, he moves straight to the crown, to an awareness of a higher reality, and then balances out his whole system from there. Speaking to this, there is a certain tone to the scene, and to a lesser extent, the whole movie, that to truly understand something, you must experience it for yourself. You can watch or read about others doing all of these exciting meditations and energy work, but unless you take a leap of faith and practice it yourself, thereby embodying that new paradigm within, you'll only get so far. There is also, of course, the split paradigm in how this scene was viewed by the audience. For many, it may have been a subtle wake-up call. For others, well, there's no such thing as Chakras, and it's just a movie. Who are you in this vast multiverse, Mr. Strange? The fundamental difference is that we see the divine as something to be spoken about and explained in the West, whereas the Eastern philosophies teach us that there is something to be experienced from within. In a nutshell, while we may see God, practitioners can feel God. Looking to the sling ring, we see a similar idea. When Stephen first tries to use it, he is in the courtyard trying to copy everyone else. He has the same stance, the same motion, the same breathing, yet he keeps failing. Ultimately, he approaches the task from a Western or a scientific standpoint that everything has to make sense because we live in a replicable world where everything can be repeated to gain the same results, right? But what this section teaches us is that, while that approach may work in a world where the illusion of separation is at the forefront, sometimes in order to succeed, we must flow with the river rather than beating it into submission, and that ultimately, we gain control by surrendering control. The ancient one summarizes the difference of perspective in a simple sentence.  Silence your ego, and your power will rise. Here on the Western side of the world, there seems to be this idea that everyone in the East knows everything there is to know about spirituality. But what Dr. Strange teaches us in actuality is that experiences sometimes don't make sense to us. They defy everything we think we know and cause our mindset to drastically shift, but that's okay because sometimes you don't need to understand something to feel into its change. The latter half of the film is devoted to Stephen embodying his new self from a position of compassion and a new understanding of his place in the universe or multiverse, whatever. Interestingly, after his battle with Caecilius in the sanctum, he takes a bad stab and portals into the hospital where Dr. Palmer is working and ultimately needs to be revived with the defibrillator. Doesn't this kind of seem like death of the old self? In this moment, after defeating his demons, symbolized by Dormammu's minions, he reawakens as an embodiment of his higher self, the sorcerer Supreme, and not only treats others with a greater respect, but immediately following his return to the New York sanctum is crowned Master Strange. In fact, his journey of rebirth itself, going from his old Western mindset to a new Eastern one mirrors Egyptian cosmology of how the sun god Ra would die in the West every day, only to be reborn brighter in the East the next. Even in his boss fight with Dormammu, which isn't really a conventional boss fight since there is no actual fighting, this theme of rebirth is still there. Stephen doesn't approach the demon with the intention to fight it, but rather from a position of surrender and compassion for everyone back on Earth, which might have also saved on the CGI budget. Well, maybe not. The dark dimension is pretty intense. Like Jesus, he sacrifices himself over and over to help others. Looking at this deeper though, the time loop is undoubtedly speaking to the reincarnation process, as we too are arguably stuck in a cycle or a loop that brings us back over and over again until we've learned the lessons that our soul wishes us to. One could even argue that Stephen attains a level of enlightenment in this journey and understands that both time and death are merely stepping stones on our soul's journey. Lastly, the concept of appearance speaks volumes to how we perceive the spiritual in a Western lens. Epitomized in the scene where Stephen first meets the Ancient One, he mistakes her for Master Hamir. That thank you, Ancient One, for seeing me. You're very welcome. As he looks much more like what you'd expect with the name The Ancient One. Granted, the original version of The Ancient One looked like an old Asian man in the comics and was changed for the film adaption to avoid unsettling politics with China. Yet, even with this new adaption, we get to have our superstitions to be challenged. Instead of an elderly, sage-looking figure, The Ancient One as a young, joyful character flips this on its head, even the Wi-Fi. What's this, my mantra? The Wi-Fi password. We're not savages. While only mentioned in passing, goes to show that spirituality isn't some relic of a forgotten age, but it has its place in the modern world. And much like the sanctums that defend the earth from mystical threats, it is hiding in plain sight. You only need to look to find it. In a nutshell, Dr. Strange highlights how we perceive spirituality as a commercial product, practiced by people wanting to make quick money, acting in opposition to science, and in this paradigm, it's something that belongs in primitive gift shops as a trinket or superstition. But the real magic, however, is just under the surface. We see a notion that perhaps if you were to take a leap into the unknown, trust yourself and give it a chance, approaching from a position of surrender and curiosity, rather than rigorous information and testing, you would see how little we really know, how wrong our preconceived notions are, and perhaps even how deep and profound true spirituality really is. And on that note, if you're someone who is ready to go down the spiritual rabbit hole, come and check out the seven-day transformation and explore the mysteries within and find your place in the cosmos.


In this video, we're going to show that not every regular polygon can be constructed using a straight edge and compass alone. Now, in order to do that, to solve this last unsolvable geometric construction, we need to provide a little bit of context. Someone tells a little bit of history. So going back to the 19th century, the so-called Prince of Mathematics, Carl Gauss, was the first to consider the constructability of real numbers and its relationship to algebra, which is what this whole lecture 28 has been about in our lecture series. The relationship is due to the solutions to the cyclotonic equation x to the n minus 1 equals 0. This is an equation we have studied previously back in Math 4220 in the previous lecture series, for which the solutions to this are in fact going to be the complex roots of unity, the complex nth roots of unity, I should say. Those are the n roots of this thing. And so Gauss was the first to show that this equation is always solvable by radicals. The roots of unity are always solvable by radicals. He also showed that if n is a prime number and p minus 1 is not a power of 2, then the solutions involve radicals higher than degree 2. And the solutions of the cyclotonic polynomial and the complex numbers, they coincide with the roots of unity, you already mentioned that. And so now we introduce the idea of a Fermat prime. So a Fermat prime is a prime of the following form. It's one greater than a power of 2. Although you can argue that the power of 2 is itself a power of 2. I won't dive into that too much right now. But by the previous result that I was talking about right here, when it comes to these roots of unity, so say zeta is a root of unity, e to the 2 pi i over n, like so. Zeta n is a root to the polynomial x to the n minus 1. Now, this is not the minimal polynomial. That gets a little bit more complicated. We'll talk about that some other time in this lecture series. But what one can prove is that if you take q adjoin a primitive nth root of unity and look at this as a field extension over q, then this is always equal to phi of n, where phi of n here is Euler's totient function. This counts the number of integers less than n, which are co-prime to n. When p is a prime number, this number is going to be p minus 1. All right. And when you have a prime power, of course, phi of p to the n, this looks like p to the n minus p to the n minus 1, like so. When your numbers are co-prime, a times b, phi then becomes phi of a times phi of b. Again, this happens if the GCD of a and b equals 1. And so using these two observations, how to compute totient of a prime power and totient of co-prime numbers, you can compute the totient of any integer so long as you know how to factor that thing. And so it comes down to the constructability of the regular ngon, comes down to this phi function. Because of this right here, if you can construct the regular ngon, it means you can construct this complex number. Now, this is a complex number, right? So we're thinking of it, of course, as cosine of 2 pi over n plus i sine of 2 pi over n. And so this is a point in the plane. So the real part is the x-coordinate and the imaginary part is the y-coordinate. If we can construct cosine of 2 pi over n, we can construct sine of 2 pi over the n. So it comes down to can we construct cosine of 2 pi over n? And now as we were considering trisecting an angle, we discovered that there were some cosines that we couldn't do. Like, we couldn't do cosine of 20 degrees. Is that a possibility coming on right here? So this conversation of Fermat primes comes into play because a Fermat prime has the property that phi of p. So you take 2 to the 2k plus 1 here. Since it's a prime, this is going to be 2 to the 2k, like so. So for phi of a Fermat prime, it's a power of 2, all right? Now, this is true for any Fermat prime. Now, if the Fermat prime is repeated because of the property we mentioned earlier, you no longer get a power of 2. You get a power of 2 times something else, okay? Now, if you take a power of 2 itself, 2 to the k, this is going to be 2 to the k minus 2 to the k minus 1 for which this then becomes 2 to the k minus 1. You can simplify it in the following way. So if you take phi of 2 to a power, that's a power of 2. If you take phi of a Fermat prime, that's a power of 2. Therefore, if you have a product of a power of 2 and any number of Fermat primes, which that could be no Fermat primes, then phi of that number will be a power of 2.  And so remember with the constructable numbers. With the constructable numbers here, if you have a constructable number alpha, if you look at the degree of q of joint alpha over q, this is always equal to a power of 2. But when you look at the complex roots of unity, you can only construct them with a degree phi of n in that situation. And therefore, if this is a power of 2, this only happens in the situation where you have a product of 2s times some number of distinct Fermat primes. Now, Gauss was made famous because he was the first one to discover that you could construct using a compass and a straight edge, the regular 17 gone, which 17 is a Fermat prime. Notice the Fermat primes. You have 3, which is 2 plus 1. You have the next one, 5, which is 4 plus 1. Notice here, we're just taking a power of 2 plus 1. The next one, a plus 1, it's not prime, that's 9. Then you take 16 plus 1, that's 17. That's a Fermat prime. So Gauss was able to prove that you could construct the regular 7 gone. Now, the shapes that we can do like a triangle, oh, triangle 3 is a Fermat prime. We can do that. You can construct a square. Well, a square is 2 square. That's a power of 2. You can construct a pentagon because 5 is a Fermat prime. You can construct a hexagon, a regular hexagon here, because a hexagon 6 is 2 times 3. That's a power of 2 times a Fermat prime. You could also construct 12, a 12-sided figure, a dodecagon, because 12 is 4 times 3. We could construct a 20 gone, because 20 is 4 times 5, like so. But 17, of course, was this really cool one that Gauss was able to produce. As legend goes, Gauss had requested that the regular 17 gone be engraven upon his tombstone, because he was so impressed by this result. Now, the engraver of the tombstone, again, as legend, refused to do so because he claimed that the engraving was too complicated to do. So you can look at Gauss's tombstone, Google the picture of it. You don't see the regular 17 gone there, and that's really too bad here. So we're returning to the mathematics here. If we were to construct the regular in gone, we need to be able to basically, we need phi of n to be a power of 2, because this boils down to be able to construct cosine of 2 pi over n, which note here that cosine of 2 pi over n, this is the same thing as 1 half, a primitive complex root of unity plus its conjugate, which is also the same thing as its inverse, right? So cosine of 2 pi over n, it belongs to this field, okay? And so that's why this degree does matter. And cosine of 2 pi over n, if you look at the degree of the extension, q adjoined a primitive root, a primitive nth root over q adjoined cosine of 2 pi over n. This degree is, this is degree two extension because cosine of 2 pi over n is the root of this quadratic polynomial, x squared minus zeta plus zeta inverse x plus one, which is a polynomial over this field, okay? For which case then, if you look at q adjoined cosine of 2 pi over n as an extension over q, then the degree of that extension is phi of n over 2. So the constructability comes down to is phi of n over 2, a power of 2. And the conditions that Gauss had mentioned earlier, exactly that. Your number n needs to look like some power of 2 and you have some products of distinct Fermat primes, which again, that product could be empty. Now I should make mention that with, at the recording of this video, there are only five known Fermat primes. We've already mentioned three of them, three, five and 17. There's only five known. Fermat actually conjectured that every number in that sequence was gonna be a prime number. He basically only computed the first four. I think he could did the first four. Maybe he did all five of them. I don't think so, but he constructed the first four and then conjectured that they were always prime. The very next one was not prime, whoopsie daisy. So Fermat has a bad habit of getting things named after him even though he never proves anything. In this case, his conjecture was actually wrong. Fermat numbers are not always Fermat primes. There's five known Fermat primes. And honestly, the current mathematical community believes there are no more Fermat primes that there are only five of them, but the proof has yet to be provided. And so it's appropriate to end this conversation about impossibilities with yet an open theorem. How many regular n-gons can you construct? Because we don't know how many Fermat primes there are. So we actually don't know how many n-gons we can construct. We know it has to have this factorization, but how many primes are there? How many Fermat primes? It's probably the five, but you know, someone hopefully one day will prove that result too.


Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. This is for the January 2020 Freight crate and I think this is the fastest I've ever gotten a freight crate So I was actually kind of surprised when I got it today. I was like, oh, whoa, what is this on my doorstep? It's freight crate. So cool. Very awesome As usual, there's always a quote on here. This quote is from Robert Eggers Who I believe it's guy who directed the witch which is a good film I like finding things that are on the fringes and sort of half forgotten. So I'm down with that. That's kind of part of what I'm going through right now with film I'm also getting I'm trying to get caught up on Like older horror films that I haven't seen yet that are you know a lot of people have said Oh my god, you haven't seen that you need to see that so I'm going through those But also trying to find like lesser known things that are just kind of like like it says on the quote fringe That people don't really know about and be like, oh my gosh, this looks fun So that's what I've been going through lately. What about you? Put a comment. What have you been watching? Okay, so we'll get into this Some paper on top as usual And actually this shirt this Gremlin shirt is from the November box because they put all their December type stuff in their November box. So all right. So first we have Is this the shirt? This is not a shirt. I don't think it's like something else like a pillowcase Is this a pillowcase? It is. Oh Interesting. Oh, it's a nice feeling pillowcase and it looks good Look at that a little something for Sid Hagg there house of a thousand corpses I'm not the biggest fan of this movie in particular But if someone is a for anyone who's a fan of this movie and got this item I'm sure they're very jazzed about it. It looks outstanding and like if I put it closer up I don't know if you can tell but Like it's you probably can't tell but it's really soft It's very very soft on both sides. So yeah, it's a pillowcase That's actually cool because actually I have Some like themed pillows like I have this directing one that my wife got me a long time ago And I have one over here that is Element configuration that she got me just a few years ago So yeah, this type of thing is cool with me. I like it.  So the pin shall be next Do-do. Oh, okay. So the pin is from the cell Which I remember seeing this movie when it first came out, but I'm not I'm not proud of this. I saw it on a bootleg I was in college and it was like one of those really crappy bootlegs that you hear about Where like you could tell someone was like sitting in the theater and it's like in their coat You see people like getting up and walking by during the movie and like the colors look all sorts of off because this was in like 2000 so like video quality that people would sneak in the theaters weren't even that good So but anyway, I have seen the movie since it's a gorgeous film And it's a cool cool film that I feel like people don't give enough credit to but anyway enough to do The cell It's pretty good Decent pin. They always have some decent designs And it kind of makes me want to revisit that movie now It's a good one. Okay next. I don't think there's a shirt in here Which is actually kind of a real bummer for me I guess the pillowcase instead of a shirt, but I really look forward to the shirts So that kind of sucks. Okay, so here we have this. I like this piece. This is a resin piece maximum from a maximum overdrive and I believe that look at that. It's like the hobgoblin from the front of the truck Yeah, look at that That's cool, and it's a magnet. So actually I have a beer fridge down here I'll just pop this on the side of the beer fridge. That looks really good Like I like all the angles on it. It just looks like really cool the shapes on this Yeah, really well sculpted. I really really like the way that looks. That's really really cool Plus the color scheme. I mean obviously that's what it's supposed to be because it's from the movie But it just looks it looks very appealing. It's very nice. I think there's a few other resin pieces in it. What is this a Pop socket. This is an interesting box Okay, so this is interesting I've actually I don't have a pop socket for my phone and I've actually kind of thought about getting one So here's a pop socket for me if I want to use this one from Scream And it looks good. It's that cool like logo of the the ghost face mask from the side that kind of turns into the butcher knife Yeah, okay, that's cool, and it's an exclusive freight crate pop socket. I did not see that coming That's a that's a real curve ball right there Okay, so there's two other boxes in here actually I'm gonna pull this thing on the bottom out first Scream magazine like what is this? This is interesting. I Do like horror magazines like I subscribed to Rue Morgue magazine Which I've been subscribing to for about 12 years or so now and I read every issue. So I'll be down to kind of check this out The world's number one horror magazine and when it's in pounds up here, so it must be from the UK Huh Don't give this a whirl. I'll take this to I have to be careful about it, but I'll take it to work Yeah, they got something in here on like Swamp Thing and Amityville to The nasty files, I don't know what that means Ooh, it looks like they've got some like ground ground house sites type stuff in here something on the new Child's play bright burn Cool. I'm I'm definitely down with this. That's that's cool item And there's two more things in here. This is crazy. Okay, so here's another resin piece This is like the actual resin piece The other thing is the um The magnet which is usually like a bonus. Okay, so here we go. So for this one is Oh from house Big Ben from house from like the Vietnam flashback Scene looks pretty good It looks pretty good Yeah, I like the detail work on the the ribs there look really nice Yeah, and he's all like tattered up.  That's what I need to go back to I haven't watched that and I mean at least five years or so So that needs a rewatch and I actually haven't seen any of the sequels I hear the sequels are just like kind of not so great, but I just want to check them out at least once Okay, and then we have a some box. I don't know I'm assuming this is not gonna be another resin piece because why would they have three in there, but who knows? Oh This is interesting Yeah, I mean I get it. That's kind of cool ish, but I Don't want to ding it too loud because the microphone is right here So you get it and it says Bates Motel. That's kind of cool Um not my thing though, I probably won't display this and honestly if someone wants it I can Give it to them. But yeah, that's it really really bummed about no t-shirt I always really look forward to the t-shirts because the t-shirt designs as you can tell from this one are always so good and it's Usually my favorite thing in addition to like the pins and the resin pieces, but this was an interesting box I think the pillowcase is cool. It's just like I said not a pillow No, I mean not a movie. I really like that much. So anyway, which honestly though It's funny because I'm actually gonna be watching three from hell tonight because I have a screener Copy from Shutter sent to me so I can do a review for it before it hits Shutter this coming week And it's just funny timing that I unbox that because it's in the trilogy of films all right, so Exclusive Bates Motel service Bell prop replica 3.5 inch brass hotel grade service Bell inspired from the film psycho Custom made for freight crate place on any flat surface and summon Norman Exclusive Big Ben minibus from house brought to you by cereal resin co They do great work an awesome piece for any fan of the film complete with the hand grenade that killed him The exclusive decorative pillowcase for house of a thousand corpses tribute to Sid Hague I figured that was their aim featuring some of the gang 18 by 18 in size item made exclusively for freight crate Fright crate. Don't you like clowns? Exclusive maximum overdrive sculpted magnet place it on any magnetic service or all vehicles will come alive Also brought to you by cereal resin co Two inches exclusive scream for pop socket This versatile item can be used on your phone as a stand or phone holder warning ghost face might make a call Exclusive scream magazine some hard to find issues of screen magazine issues 48 51 53 and 57 Oh, so it's specific issues of it. So I got issue 54 Yeah, 54 So when did it? Oh, so it came out in May, June of last year. So Okay, that's interesting And then exclusive the cell pin two-inch soft enamel pin of iconic baddie straggler Starger the cell and then they don't They usually have what the properties or the franchises are gonna be for the next one But they don't have it on here So a little bum by that cuz I always look forward to doing that at the end of the videos But you know so overall like I said, I'm let down about no shirt, but I did like this box I think overall it's definitely the bang for your buck. It's a cool one Yeah, I'm I'm most impressed. It sounds weird But I'm most impressed by that magnet for maximum overdrive just because it's just whoa Messing up it just looks so good Like I said like the sculpting of that like the shapes plus how the the colors pop just get another look at that That looks so good. That's gonna look awesome on the side of my beer fridge. I'm very excited about this one Cool. Anyway, um, frite crate once again good stuff. I love it. I'm gonna keep purchasing stuff I already made my purchase for the February box, which we will unbox next early next month And I'm just gonna keep going for people out there who are seeing this for the first time I don't know a whole lot about frite crate their boxes go on sale the first of every month and they usually sell out within a Like two days sometimes less depending on what the properties are or franchises are for it So I would say if you want to get one just put a reminder on your phone for the first of every month That's what I do so that you can just go in that day and make that purchase because you don't want to miss out This is the best horror related mystery box in my opinion So anyway, thanks everyone for checking this out. Please do me a quick favor and hit that subscribe button You can also hit the notification bell. I'd appreciate that so that whenever I have videos going up especially with all my movie reviews you can See them immediately and help me get views and everything put some comments down here about this box or about horror stuff In general and we can do that If you're already subscribed definitely hit that like button so I know you're still watching or you're Encouraging me so but thank you very much everyone for checking this out.

And so the one thing though that I think that is perhaps the hardest to understand until one has experienced this is it's not just that each person has read and I know it and I'm able to give them points for having read. It's the impact that happens when everyone has read that very difficult article. And you know not the instructor but every single student walks in that door that next morning, and they know that essentially everyone else had the same experience they had. And that creates the idealized classroom experience, because it means that we all are eager to start at this next level up, rather than having to require me to go through the basics they are ready to talk. They are ready to work they're ready to apply that information, and that's been the game changer for me completely, and why I've had this sort of new renaissance and a new love of teaching because of that. And you can imagine, and next slide please that when this happens just one classroom, and how 50 people, again that happened this semester just come out of it so excited as we finish our semester this week. This is just one classroom experience. Imagine if we could have this available to so many other classrooms, what kind of world could we start to create just through this wonderful and pretty easy to use tool of hypothesis. So thank you so much.


The Bucks didn't build around Yanis. What do they do? What do they have in Milwaukee? Chris Middleton do want to sniff the Bro, he'd imagine him without Yanis. Now. I love Jew holiday, but he's not no crazy player Like it's Jew holiday that much better than CJ McCullum. Seriously all around as a player I probably take Drew, but is he that much better than CJ was? Come on now Lockdown D. Oh, yeah, it's locked down in defense.  Drew is a Hall of Famer. Drew holiday is going to the Hall of Fame Nah, bro, this just can't be life Drew holiday is going to the Hall of Fame All right, bro. Y'all got the basketball talk for the night Drew holiday and his two all-star games is going to the Hall of Fame Drew holiday will definitely get in the Hall of Fame Yeah, definitely bro a ring. He's got a ring. Okay. He's got a ring in two all-star games You're right. They built around Yanis if you switch Yanis and Dame the Bucks would be like the seven seed Max Dame Yanis would have Portland in title contention. They'd be the Bucks of the West Don't compare them to players. All right Go back to comparing like you can compare Dame to like Donovan Mitchell and Dame is a top five guard in NBA What counts as a guard? Are there any even guards in NBA anymore? Wow, what a pressure and accurate Like who's the guards in NBA right now?  I mean Booker is over Dame I don't even know. I don't even know. I think they both suck.  Why is Dame not in the MVP consideration then since Dame is over in bead Why why is why I never see Dame Lillard in MVP? Dame is better than John. John is the other most overrated player in NBA. John Moran His team's okay I'm losing my mind right now. I'm losing my mind playing this game Michael Jordan winning one in Portland. Well Michael Jordan needed like like ten different pieces to win, you know Damon's second best point guard. I mean the Mavs have two point guards better than him, but okay, I guess I guess so This is the most obnoxious boring game in my life right now. I'm just gonna get the best cover three I've ever seen y'all making all these that's what I mean y'all make so many excuses for this guy. He is just a book of excuses That's what I mean. It's just excuse after excuse after excuse. That's how y'all want to live That's how y'all want to get it. It's cool. I understand He's got the best situation because it doesn't matter if he wins you play all year Never win anything and nobody will ever criticize him chat. Don't chat. Don't really understand though. They think you know Put good players around Dame. He'll win Because that ship is sailed, huh? Dude is running around with Rod Martin.  Just going off on me He's putting me on and one mixtape right now the most overrated player in the league is John Moran without a doubt It's John Moran like I'm gonna I'm gonna kill Dame, but Dame is still like Dame is still great Right. I just don't think like I feel people just don't criticize him enough Like don't hold him accountable for being a but John Moran. Yeah, dude's a fraud Hardens the most overrated Dude, this is the best cover three I've ever seen how is this dude 60 yards turning his hips jaw has in it I'll be honest that team is good Memphis. That team is good. This is just a fun game a man Dude, just absolutely just thrilling game right here. Oh my god, dude Where is my deep not like what is that not deep enough pause and how no idea how this is such a close game I really have no idea milk man milk man My favorite player right now I mean in being if I if my team didn't matter to be honest, no doubt about it No doubt in my mind if my team didn't matter to be honest I'm just don't understand how people be killed as it makes me mad how people kill hardened But there's the but somehow this dude Dame is just God's gift of basketball It's actually nuts how fast a four-man rush will get you in this game This is so boring when somebody just sits here with 50 yard zones. I Hit the wrong button. I'm not used to this play. God Dude, he should yeah for one time. He shaded down and got me God Andorra sure the best player I ever played.  How do you be covered through all we got there on the run ability activated?

What's up everybody? Jason from jazbycasebrace.com 21-22 Pinini select basketball hobby just sold out This is a 12 box case break picket teams number four And again sold out the whole case So if you have a little character sign means you got that into a team random at a 17 team team random for pretty much half the league There's everybody's names there So fresh case solo fresh case Let's uh Do it like last time I guess we were rip open three at a time And then we'll go through the boxes First one, that's one box triple fourth box Jalen Green rookie And Herbert Jones to 199 to start us off for the pelicans William with that one with a patch auto Bulk night silver PG Chris Paul Little K to rookie KD silver Jimmy Butler Chris came into one 99 That's New Orleans Hornets Edition, which of course will go to the pelicans. There were New Orleans goes to New Orleans. Charlie goes to Charlotte So New Orleans pelicans with that one as well that can Thomas scopes carry Irving silver Little dyke here of Devontae Graham pelicans It's a 65 man pelicans box so far Zyra Williams rookie scopes Cory Kesspert for Washington David on Mitchell silver Evan Mowgli Keon Johnson You got Dearon Sharp to 249 giddy Bulk night Tara Rose here All right next box Yolkich Kevin Durant relic for the Nets gonna Carl Anthony Davis scopes Kate Cunningham premier low One echo Congo Paul George Kaminga Relic there for Golden State Chris Duarte Cory Kesspert and Miles McBride at 249 There's the auto That's for the Nix going to Carl Stefan Curry and Chris Dorkler. I think I heard some a lot Rex I wasn't really paid attention to Robert Quinn until he got traded to my Eagles, but He was the most double team A defensive player defensive lineman or pass rusher in the NFL like He had more. He's been double team more times in Michael Parsons Who leads like the league in sacks So that tells me anything is that basically he was probably their best pass rusher Not like Khalil Mack wasn't there And everybody was scheming on just double teaming Quinn So that way the bears they make you beat the the bears They're making the bears beat him with somebody else. It was probably not nearly as talented So, yeah, it should hurt him a lot But you know, they got a four-pronged pick for him though at a 25 Greg Brown. Nice tie-dye autograph of Portland Going to belt Albert and St. Good Chris Paul Keon Johnson James Bulknight Keon Johnson Scotty Barnes Raptors, that's Carl Scotty Barnes silver Raptors, that's Carl Nice LeBron James blue. That's a sweet card right there. Carl at the lake is 46 out of 2.99 and a little giddy court side I mean, I don't think that's the real case Rex. Uh Just don't think they wanted to keep Quinn on the roster and maybe that's just kind of a sign of like we need some draft picks So they were willing to deal Quinn who's you know an aging defensive lineman past rusher That's probably getting paid a little too much for them that they probably don't want to pay him that much next year And the year after that, you know It's getting paid like 13 mil. I think a year which they're saying that if Adjusted he's definitely not worth that right now So that's pretty much what it was And the Eagles were willing to give him a fourth round pick and they're like, yeah, we'll take it Clint Capella or third round pick whatever it was In-flight for the Hawks going to car Bojan to $1.99 Stephen Curry silver Trey Murphy Chris Middleton to $1.99 Yeah, I mean you're not gonna find a superstar player in those later rounds, but I mean you can find yourself a solid defensive player, especially like a linebacker You know, maybe a D lineman even like even like a um You know defensive back at that case But yes per se. I don't think they're doing much to help him but at the same time. I don't think they're thinking of Saying that's it. It's over for fields. I just think it's us The collectors in the hobby that are trying to say It's over for fields. He's a bust. He's a bust, but I don't think the bears feel that way So at the end of the day, it don't matter what we feel like It's if the bears know that he's their future, then You know, they're just trying to gather up some picks. Maybe that's all it is And clearing up some cap space for the following years They're gonna pay the remainder of of Quinn's salary the rest of this year But eagles are picking up the next two years potentially, you know, so I think that's really what it was get get something walking back while you can for him because if not, you're probably gonna have to pay him all that money anyways All right autograph remember really purple prisms part number 11 Oh jamal murray So that's a vet. That's going to the Denver nuggets in car There you go That's a nice one. He's back already Does help out that Denver nuggets team I think honestly when it comes to rookie quarterbacks, you got to give him a solid three four years I mean look what the Giants are doing with daniel jones. He's already on his fifth year probably right or fourth fifth year Now finally people are saying oh Danny dunes, you know, but You really don't know quarterback on how he's going to do in the league and you got to give him a few years because they can start off super hot Cool down have a sophomore slump Their third year either they They get better or they get worse and then by the time, you know, I you know, they're in their fourth or fifth year option and it's like They're not they're not what they once were And like I said Rex, I don't think The bears feel the way we feel about Justin Fields So I wouldn't worry too much per se You know, I I'm not saying the bears are like one of those people that want to tank at this point, but I'm sure they know they're A lot of games behind first place and If you came down to like a wall card spot, they're probably not even in that position yet either But like I said, you don't know what other moves they're gonna make they might even trade rope one Which is again another guy that wants to get paid that the bears didn't want to pay Maybe they get something really good back for him and again build more draft capital because like I said, you know I think they're trying to look at the bigger picture But I still hope they beat the Cowboys if anything though We just the Eagles helped the Cowboys out this year this week because Now they don't have to face Robert Quinn Yeah, exactly. We're not the ones paying him All right, we're just we're just the fans that want to pull them in breaks and Sell the singles on either I want to complain when they don't do well I'm just so surprised that like the first like few weeks in the season that I thought Darnell Mooney was gonna have himself a year and I'm not saying he can I mean, there's still Half the season to go right? We're like in week eight week seven, but You know Darnell Mooney has shown flashes and he was a really good receiver lacher so But still kind of you know, gotta get that chemistry and turn around but I was hoping for a big year for him The bearish has got to let the fields do himself. He's great at creating plays with his legs And as you can see as it lately, he's just have been having a tug and run and Getting like 70 to 80 yards a game I'll let him do that once you become that dual threat. It makes it open up the playbook It makes it a little bit easier same thing with the Eagles, you know, I think I think Hertz being finally with his same defensive same offensive coordinator for the first time in his whole career going back to like high school Has helped hurts a lot. He's now learned that offense. He basically mastered it and you know They did a perfect example a few weeks ago with the Cowboys on how to Shut down a player like Michael Parsons I'll just attack him make him make the decision You know Is he gonna go up to Hertz and stop Hertz? All right, we're gonna hand it off You know, or we're gonna pass or is he gonna chase after the running back? And we'll let Hertz beat it beat under his feet It's like a perfect game plan So I I don't know. I don't know if that bears really I'm sure the bears run a lot of Do they run run a lot of rpo's? I don't I don't really watch too many of the games, but Since fields is a very big running quarterback. They need to attack Michael Parsons that way this week, too He was very frustrated because he was put right on the spot And I'm gonna run Lane Johnson also to shut him down early on too and then Got a concussion during the game. They took him out. Of course Parsons starts doing well in the second half, you know But Gotta have a good game time And no turnovers Is always key.  This dude was so good Orlando going to waltz Livers Honestly, Mike, I I don't know if that's a true question for me or what but I don't I remember little penny, but I was such a little kid. My sister actually still has a little penny in her room She was a big penny hardaway fan at them at the time before Kobe was in the league Um, but I I don't really remember much about the pen. I just remember to remember what it looks like Was it Chris rock? I don't even remember seeing like those. I don't even remember seeing those uh commercials or anything like that I just remember that little penny kind of freaked me out when I was a kid Because when did they come out with those little pennies like What year probably Keon Johnson Tray Murphy Corbuso Nemes. Oh, yeah, 1995. I was like three years old I was like three years old So, yeah, I specifically remember that around the time she was in uh Around I guess I guess around that time. She must have got one when they first came out because she still has it Joshua Primo again fortune news for this guy, but we'll see how that all plays out.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested two persons for allegedly trafficking 191 pellets of herring and cocaine by the Murtela Mohamed International Airport Legos. The agency's director, media and advocacy, Femi Baba Femi, announced this in a statement. He said that this came barely two weeks after Madrid-Spain-bound trafficker Okonko Chimezi Henry escorted 113 wraps of cocaine after his arrest at Sime Airport. He said the two suspects escorted 191 pellets of herring and cocaine while on the observation. He said on April 10 during the outward screening of passengers on Ethiopian Airlines to Italy and the LEA operatives in the airport intercepted and referred one Chikudi destiny for scanning and this can result proved positive to drug ingestion.


Alright, recording is on. Good morning once again, everybody. BC 213, the end times. This is our third week. Yeah, the third week of lectures, and we're getting into some exciting things today. So, welcome everybody. Let's pray together, and then we will get started. Alright, I request somebody to please unmute your mic and leave the class and prayer. Then we will start. Who would like to pray? Okay. I'm praying. Go ahead please. Our Father, we bless and thank you this morning for this wonderful opportunity to be in your presence once again and to fellowship, to learn and to study. Father, we pray that you continue to be our instructor, leaders in this journey. Father, we pray for an open understanding. And Lord, we pray that grants faster the utterances to be able to explain things to us to the best of our understanding. We pray that Lord, may you continue to guide our hearts to grasp whatever we are taught here and to lead our lives into a glorious moment. We thank you and we bless your holy name. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Alisha. And once again, everybody, good morning. Welcome. Or if you're in some other part of the world. Yeah, it could be evening or it could be afternoons. Okay. All right. So we are making progress in our study on the end times. We have gone through an introduction to how we are going to approach the subject. Then the next chapter we talked about the fact that the Bible is a prophetic book. We can rely on the prophetic scriptures. And then we also did a quick overview of Matthew 24 last week. Just to see the sequence and as an introduction, the sequence of events as outlined in Matthew 24. Now, what we're going to do today is a little bit more of geography and history. So the next two chapters, I hope I can complete both those chapters in this hour. A little bit about the geography, the areas that are of interest or the regions that are of interest, and a little bit about the historical background. So there'll be two chapters on that. Then after that, hopefully after the break, we'll get into the main part of the course, which is a panoramic overview of the sequence of end time events. So we're going to be spending many hours on that chapter where we're going to go in detail on the sequence of events. How about things going to unfold as given to us as scripture? And then we will answer a lot of questions about the rapture and the tribulation. What happens in heaven? What happens on earth? And all those details we'll get into. But in order for us to have good understanding of those things, it's useful for us to have a little background of the geography, the areas that are of interest, and also a little bit about the history. So we understand why is there going to be conflict and so on and so forth. Okay, so we're going to cover two chapters on that. And I'm not getting into too much detail, but it's more of a high-level understanding of these things so that when we read scripture, we are able to understand what the Bible is talking about. And the PDF for all of these have been made available in the coursework section. So you can please review them when you have time after the class. So I'm going to go ahead and share the PDF and we'll get started. All right, so the first is we're going to talk a little bit about the geography, the areas that are of interest and a background to these. So this chapter is called The Middle East and Other Regions in Bible Prophecy. Now a lot of the focus in Bible prophecy is around the Middle East. So the book of Genesis basically starts right here between Tigris and Euphrates. So in Genesis chapter 2 we read about the Garden of Eden being somewhere here between the river Tigris and Euphrates and so everything started here. And then Abraham was then called out of somewhere here, the other of the Calities somewhere in Iraq. And then he was, he journeyed all the way into this land here in Jerusalem. And then for some time he went down even into Egypt and so he was there. So a lot of the biblical geography, the Bible geography is around the Middle East, around these regions. And then very interestingly and we will get into the details of this in the third year when we study Daniel. But I want to just give you a quick understanding, a quick summary of what Daniel has given to us. In Daniel chapter 2, Daniel sees the vision, I mean he interprets Nebuchadnezzar's treat where Nebuchadnezzar sees this image of the gold head and silver chest and the brass waist and iron legs and then the feet mixed with iron clay, then tentacles. Then after that a kingdom that God himself sets up here or not. And then as we progress through the book of Daniel we can interpret what basically we will understand. And then in chapter 7, Daniel himself has a vision in the first year of King Belchazar about the lion, the bear, the beasts that come up. And they parallel the image that he has seen and you know there's interpretation given that these are the reasons. Basically the empires, the Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, subsequently the Greek and then the Roman although he doesn't mention Roman, we know it comes right after the Greek the Romans took over. And then in chapter 8 Daniel has another vision and I think it was the second or third year of King Belchazar and he sees the ram and the goat and he tells us the ram represents the Medo-Persian empire and the goat represents the Greek empire. So all of these empires basically were around the Mediterranean covering Europe and we will see the map later on covering Europe, northern Africa and a little bit of Turkey and around the Middle East, the Mediterranean where Israel and other countries are. So this entire geographical region occupied by these empires are of importance to us because in Bible prophecy what happens is out of what was the former Roman empire there would be 10 leaders that emerge. There would be a loosely held region of iron and clay that came out of the former Roman empire, loosely held from there come 10 kings or leaders. And then there's another leader who comes, the little horn that we read about last year, Glass, who eventually is the Antichrist. He overpowers three of the 10 leaders and then he comes into his place of power and he does whatever and it is during that time that Daniel prophesied that the God of heaven will set up his kingdom here or not. So this geographical region is of importance or interest to us. And what we will see in Daniel's prophecy is that he clearly spoke about the goat, the empire which represents the Greek empire. He gave us details in chapter eight of Daniel that the Greek empire will grow strong very powerfully under its first leader, which we know is Alexander the Great. And then he said but that leader will die very early, which happened, Alexander the Great died in his early 30s. And then he said that empire will be divided into four parts, which actually happened because the four generals of Alexander the Great took portions of the Greek empire. And then Daniel said that the little horn will come out of one of these four. So that's why those four regions into which the Greek empire was divided subsequently is of again interest to us geographic because out of one of those would come the little horn. Right, so I kind of summarize very quickly these areas of interest. So let's look at some of these things. So what do we see in the Middle East? After the Roman Empire, the Islamic Empire came into power and that expanded throughout the Middle East. They overpowered all those regions that many of the regions that were once part of the Roman Empire. And they should today, many of the nations surrounding Israel. So you look at Israel here, a tiny piece of land, but they are completely surrounded by Arab nations. And this has led to a lot of tension and we will zero in on some of these. So this is again of interest to us because we understand the conflicts that are happening. Israel became a nation May 14, 1948. And since then there's been ongoing conflict and visually conflict. Now, like I mentioned earlier, the European Union is of interest to us because it sits on the region that was actually part of the former Roman Empire. So if you look at the Roman Empire, which again we see from Daniel's prophecy. It sits very much not completely, but a good or a large portion of the Roman Empire sits. Let me put it like this. A large portion of the European Union sits on the region that was once part of the Roman Empire and Daniel prophesied in Daniel chapter two that after the Roman Empire, that is the Empire of iron. There will be a loosely held region of iron and clay where people of the former former Roman Empire will mix with other races, and it will be a loosely held region. And so it's very interesting because today when you look at and these are the countries that overlap the from the European Union that overlap with the Roman Empire. I've highlighted Greece, Turkey, city and Egypt. I will mention why I've highlighted there those countries. But when you look at the European Union, of course, we're living the United Kingdom out. You see that a lot of the European overlaps with what was once part of the Roman Empire. Now, of course, a large portion of Germany and Poland are left out, but a lot of other countries overlap. Now, this is so important because in Daniel's prophecy talked about a loosely held region of iron and clay. That means iron representing the former Roman Empire, clay representing all the other races of the earth that they mixed, they intermingled, they're loosely held. And then he said, out of this region will emerge 10 leaders, 10 leaders, 10 kings, 10 leaders and their nations. So we are, we are watching very closely, you know, what these dominant players coming out of this region, this loosely held and it's so true. It's a very loosely held. It's a European Union, they're independent countries, but yet they're kind of, you know, trying to function as one, you know, with one currency and a lot of other things, a lot of economic understanding among them in that region. So it's very loosely held. It's almost like exactly what Daniel chapter two spoke about. And then he said they will emerge these 10 leaders. So we're looking, okay, what are the 10 nations that are being dominant 10 leaders are coming into prominence. And then the other thing that Daniel said was that from what used to be part of the Greek Empire. So you're starting off here with Greece. And then you're going across the Mediterranean, you're going across into Turkey and, and Egypt and Syria. So that's why I highlighted those four countries. This whole region, Greece, Turkey, Egypt down here in the south and Syria over here. These were part of the Greek Empire. Now, now, again, when I say remember, actually, there are a lot of small, small, small countries here. But when I say Greece, you know, we mean this whole region here. That was taken over by one of the emperors of Alexander the Great. And after he died, then this region was taken over like basically part of Turkey was taken over. And then the region below that was taken over by another one, and then Egypt was taken over by another emperor. So what Daniel said was, and he said that from one of the four divisions of the Greek Empire, become the little horn, which is the Antichrist. So we are looking again, so we are looking at 10 leaders would emerge from what was the former Roman Empire. We're also looking at regions, these regions that, well, you know, that broke, broke out of the Greek Empire, from which the little horn will arise. And generally speaking, we're saying Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, it could be some other nation, but these seem to be the more dominant countries today from what used to be those four area regions. That broke out of the Greek Empire. So we're looking at that with interest because these are all in Daniel's prophecies about the end times. And we're saying, you know, who could be those 10 leaders coming out of the European Union. And from which one of these nations would emerge a leader who would overthrow three of these leaders. And be aggressive, take over. And then he's going to come into parts almost like these 10 leaders are going to help this one little horn come into prominence and so we are of interest. Another region of interest in Bible prophecy is Russia. So, you know, when we read about, we will read some of these scriptures later on as we go through the sequence of events, I'm just giving an introduction to the geography. So Russia has spoken off both in Ezekiel 38 and 39. And what will happen is Russia will be the first mover in this whole lead up to the battle of Armageddon. So Russia will invade Israel from the north. So while, you know, there's some sort of peace treaty in place. Russia is going to start disrupting it. Russia is going to begin to move in from the north, and it will have its allies. And these are these are all mentioned in Ezekiel 38. Persia Persia refers to Iran and Iraq, Ethiopia, Libya, parts of Germany in Slovakia and Turkey and Egypt. So these will form allies. And many of these are Arab nations that they will fall become allies to Russia. So today, these nations all around Israel. And when Russia begins to make its move of aggression towards Israel, these people will join in in the first move. But very interestingly, Ezekiel 39 says Israel is going to push that little nature of Israel is actually going to push Russia back. Ezekiel 39. And then, okay, okay, so that's so Russia is very of interest to us seeing what's happening with Russia. Then the second sequence of that will happen is China, most likely China. The Bible does not mention China, but it talks about Kings from the East and Revelation 16. Okay. And previous to that, Revelation 9, we see about 200 million troops. And later on in Revelation 16, he's talking about Kings from the East. So who could be most likely Kings from the East with large armies, aside from Russia. So this is why we say most likely this is going to be China and others will join in with China. So once Russia has pushed back, China is going to step in the Kings from the East are going to step in Revelation 16. And they are going to begin to move towards Israel. And God is going to, you know, so that's going to happen. And this will subsequently lead to a third and final battle where all nations are going to convert.  So it's going to pull in all nations, you know, and most likely we could say with all confidence, the United States and its allies, which would be UK, Canada and other nations would get in.  They're going to come in. And so that's going to cause all nations, Revelation 19 to come into battle. And they're all going to converge in a place called Megiddo or the value of Jezreel or for the battle of Armageddon. So where is this, you know, it very interestingly, this Megiddo or value of Jezreel has been a battleground for sanctuaries. Right. So historically, this has been a place of fighting for over 34 recorded battles that have taken place right here. And so the general Allen B for the Ottoman Turks in 1918, which subsequently led to Israel. I mean, Zionists proclaiming Israel about 30 years later as an independent nation. So the value of the Jezreel Valley, Megiddo Valley, which where the battle of Armageddon will take place is of importance. So the nations will converge here. And obviously, you know, giving given today's weapons of war, these weapons of war are not localized. They are, you know, they can be the intercontinental ballistic missiles can be shot from anywhere. So we must understand that this convergence is only an escalation of conflict. But the fighting is going to happen, obviously, you know, everywhere, the air force and whatever. But this is the region where the convergence will happen and give rise to conflict. And the nations of the earth will come here. The river Euphrates by this time would be dried up and they will be able to move in. And it is around this time as the nations converge that Revelation 19, the Lord Jesus himself will descend with the armies of heaven.  And, you know, the Bible tells us that the blood is going to flow as high as the horses who, you know, horses bridle, which is probably like about five feet for about almost 300 miles, 280 miles or so. It's going to be blood flowing and it's going to be very huge. It's going to be huge devastation. Okay, and it's going to take place in here in this region north towards the northern part of Israel or northern part north of Jerusalem. So that's another region of interest. So when you try to imagine, again, this is based on, you know, what we've seen the Bible, the battle of Armageddon, you're having the king of the north. Russia invading. You're having the kings of the east coming in most likely, you know, China and other allies. Of course, when Russia moves in the Arab nations around, as we mentioned, will join in with Russia, Egypt from the south. And there is Turkey and Syria from the north. And they'll join with Russia and it will pull in all the nations of the earth so we can, we can see that there will be engagement from other nations all taking place over here. Okay. And so these are, you know, geographically speaking areas of interest territories or countries of interest that we are looking at. Now, let me just cover a little bit of history and then we will take time for questions. Now, if you want to look at it from a historical, from the history background, Israel, so this is the next chapter, Israel and its people. So we know that Abraham was called out of the out of the Calvary, so must be some a here in modern day Iraq or, you know, and then he journeyed down into this land that God said, I will give to you. So he journeyed in. He came to land promise and God told him that the region from the River Nile, the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates way up north. He said that's the land that's going to be yours. So, and from the Western sea to the wilderness of Lebanon, where so all of that so East West, North, South, that's the region I'm giving to you. So that's been the land that the Jewish people have claimed as their own. And they always considered as their own. Now, they, you know, eventually they came, they settled in their land, God gave them the feasts and all of those things. And they gave them the covenants and the Abrahamic the mosaic and, and so they were dwelling in this land for quite a long time. But subsequently, now I'm running through the history. You know, this is just for us to understand and you don't, I'm not going to go into detail and I'm not expecting to remember everything. But so this is just for us to understand, understand things. So Abraham came settled into the land. David was one of the most respected kings, a patriarchs who established Israel in its land. And then came Solomon, again another great king. He built the temple and subsequent to Solomon, you know, they started fighting among themselves. There was the 10 tribes and they were the, the two other tribes, Judah and Benjamin in the south, the 10 tribes in the north. So they were divided amongst themselves, which didn't do them good. The Assyrians, people from the north came in, conquered. So they now became vulnerable to attacks. So eventually the, the Assyrians attacked them, but the major dispersion happened when Nebuchadnezzar came in. In the 6th century BC, he came in, he destroyed the temple that Solomon had built. He took a lot of the Jewish people out into Babylon, into exile and so on. And then subsequent to that Babylonian empire, there were a lot of other empires that came in, the Medo-Persians, then the Greeks, then the Romans. Now in between what had happened when the Persians came in, they sent the Jewish people back and they rebuilt the temple. It's called, it was known as a second temple. During the time of Zerubabel and Haggai and Ezra the priest and Nehemiah, the rebuilding of walls, we are familiar with those accounts. So the second temple was rebuilt. And then, you know, then after the Persians came the Greeks, Alexander the Great, he brought in the Greek language into this region. So people in this region who were generally speaking Hebrew. So during the time of Babylonians, they began to speak Aramaic. So the Jews who were dispersed in Babylon, they learned Aramaic. So the book of Daniel, a good portion of it, chapters 2 to 7, is actually written in Aramaic in the Old Testament. They came back here and by the time Alexander the Great came, so now they started learning Greek. So that's why the New Testament is written in Greek. So we've got the Old Testament, Hebrew, Aramaic, some parts written in Aramaic, the New Testament because of the Greek influence written in Greek. After the Greeks, we had a short time of the Seleucid Empire. There was a revolt and so on. But then the more dominant was the Romans. They came into power and they for more than a thousand years till about I think 1100 BC in major part, major control of most of those regions. So the Romans came in. The Romans in 87 T destroyed the second temple. So the second temple was destroyed in 87. And Jesus foretold us, he said, you know, not one stone will be left. So that's something you must keep in mind. So the Romans, they destroyed the temple mount. The Jews were dispersed and then, you know, they were basically they lost their land. So this has happened several times. The Jewish people were dispersed out of their country, their territory. Many times as Syrians, Babylonians, then they were, you know, the Greeks came in the Romans came in. They were all dispersed subsequently to that the, like we said, the is Islam spread all across the region. So Muslims or the Islam Muslims took over that region. And around 690. They constructed the dome of the rock. And they established they built eventually they built their own mosque on the temple mount in Jerusalem. So that same place, which because, you know, the Muslims raised their ancestry back to Abraham. And because that place where the Solomon had built this temple was sacred because Abraham offered Isaac there. David King David built the, you know, bought that piece of land and Solomon built the temple. So it is sacred to the Jews, but also to the Muslims or the Arabs. And so they eventually built the dome of the rock and they built their own structures over there. So after the, after the Muslims occupied this land, this region, slowly the, so eventually the Ottoman Turks, the Turkish Empire was over there in their entire region. Little by little, there was the migration of Jews slowly back into that region. They were coming back. Yeah, slowly in waves, they began to move into that region. And mainly from Russia and parts of Europe began to move in. And there was subsequently World War One. The British came in and they overthrew the Turkish or the Ottoman Empire. So that was very, what to say, maybe I should say instrumental in preparing the way for the eventual establishing of the Jewish or Israel as a nation. So that happened in 1918. We have the Second World War, and then began the whole call for a land for the Jews and a land for the Arabs. So by this time, a lot of the Jews had migrated back into their, into that region, what we know as Israel today. And there was a call, okay, you know, the Jews wanted their own land, the Arabs or the Palestinians wanted their land. And in a very, very quick move, the Zionists that had known at that time, they came together and they declared Israel as an independent state. So it was a very quick move on their part. And of course, the British troops were there to, you know, to, in some way, it was like maybe like a moral support, I think. But and Israel was recognized by US and Russia immediately. Of course, it caused a lot of reaction from Arab nations. And so there were several Israel, Arab Israeli wars, but very amazingly that throughout all of these wars that were fought. Every time a war was fought, it seemed like the Jews were just expanding their territory. Israel seemed to be gaining more land. And so the 1967 Six Day Wars is again a very, very significant because Israel captured a lot of the region that belonged to them. And then as a way to make peace, they gave concession and they handed back part of the city of Jerusalem to the Arabs in some other regions. So then there have been a lot of efforts to make peace because conflict continued in this area, a lot of efforts to make peace. And you can see over the years. And it's an ongoing thing. So what are some of the notable things historically speaking? Well, the most notable would be the Israel being formed as a nation on May 14, 1948. Almost 2000, 500 years, nobody thought, from the time they were dispersed under the Babylonian captivity, nobody thought that they could actually all come back and take full control of their land. But that happened 1948 and subsequently after the 1967 war, they were able to gain control of their region. And so Ezekiel 36 is a very significant in speaking towards the regathering of Israel as a nation. Then, so you can see it, but of course, there is the West Bank and the Gaza Strip that's occupied by the Palestinians or some understand them to be descendants of the Philistines who were always traditionally, historically enemies with Israel. So the Palestinians have a good portion of Jerusalem. And of course, the Temple Mount and the dome is occupied now by the Alexa mosque and the Dome of the Rock. So that has, you know, continued conflict here. So Israel, occupied by, surrounded by Arab nations, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and West Bank, Gaza, occupied by the Palestinians and the Temple Mount being a major source of conflict. So like we said, you know, the Temple Mount is historically important to both Jews and Arabs and the Muslims, because they all trace their ancestry back to Abraham. This was what he, this was where he brought Isaac to be sacrificed. King David purchased it and he built an altar there. Solomon built the first temple there, which was destroyed by the Babylonians, rebuilt by Zerba, the second temple, headed the great King Herod, he enlarged that whole area, renovated it, but it was later destroyed by the Romans. And then later on, the Arabs or Muslims built their structures on it. So, yeah, so they have their dome and the Alexa mosque there on the Temple Mount. So this has been a constant place of conflict. The expectation among, and you can go to templeinstitute.org to get latest information, but the constant expectation among the Jewish, not all, but the main, you would say the fundamental, the traditional Jews is that they're going to be able to take over and have their third temple and all the preparations for that have been done and, you know, are in place and you'll get latest information what's happening from templeinstitute.org. And there's a nice video, if you want to watch where he, you know, Jimmy Young talks about this that the readiness of the Jewish people to rebuild the temple. So, just some pictures here to understand what we're talking about the dome of the rock, the Alexa mosque, and the western wall is where the Jews will be allowed to come in and do their prayers. But this is the entire area we're talking about the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which currently, major part is occupied by the Arabs or it's meant for the Arabs, the Jews come in and pray on the western wall. Right. So that's the dome of the rock. And the western wall from where the people, the Jewish people are allowed to come and pray, but they're not allowed to go into the Arab occupied areas. Right. The other part is the Jewish settlements. Very interestingly, Jeremiah prophesied and you can, you know, look, follow these regions that when the city will be rebuilt, he mentioned these areas where it will be rebuilt. Interestingly, that's, I don't know, I don't think it happened intentionally, but when the settlements were built, they were rebuilt in the sequence. Right. So, as Israel occupied their land and began to build their settlements. And we can see here, they fall. I mean, it happened according to Jeremiah's prophecy, the settlements, but they, these settlements are also, what to say, a reason for conflict. Now, aside from rebuilding their city of Jerusalem and all of those areas. And now Israel continues to build settlements in territory that is supposedly that is under the Palestinians, you know, and that is where the United Nations basically doesn't recognize that, but nobody's really stopping Israel from doing it. They continue to build their settlements and expand, but that is a reason of conflict. And so every now and then there will be fighting happening between the Palestinians and the Israelis because of these settlements in addition to the tension all around the Temple Mount. Okay, so a very quick overview of the geography and the history surrounding these regions. I'm going to pause. We'll take questions. And then after the break, we're going to get into the main part of the course, which is to get an overview of things that are yet to come. So, time to wake up in case you were sleeping through the geography and the history. Sorry, Pastor, I noticed you maybe because of time, you skipped the aspect of the crusaders, what the crusaders did during the timeline. If you could just provide maybe a high level summary of why they invaded and killed the Jews and the Muslims, please. Yeah, so we didn't talk too much about that, but I'm not an expert on this, but I'll just make a few comments. So the crusaders, similar to what the Arabs did, I think the mindset was we can advance what we believe in using force, which of course is not the right thing to do. And so in a way to expand influence, control and territory, they used force and religion to expand. But, you know, and sadly, even the Arabs did that. And I'm not saying these are the right things to do, but that was probably the mindset in those times. And sometimes even today, 20 years forced to expand influence control and once one personal believes. And that, of course, led to a lot of bloodshed things that happened that were, you know, we don't approve today, but it was done in the name of God, the name of religion. Yeah. Thank you, Pastor. All right, Divya, your question please. Samuel, Divya. Thank you. Thank you, Pastor. I was thinking of that in Revelation chapter 16 of 12 to 16, when you mentioned the kings from the East, and you said the other nations will converge. So is it those Western nations? Are they coming like against Israel like you? Those nations, are they coming against? All right, Kishan, you will have to mute your mic, please. All right, go ahead, Divya. Yeah. Yeah, my question. Are those nations, the Western nations, like UK, US and all, are they coming against Israel? Or is it for Israel? Yeah, so Revelation 16 talks about the kings of the East moving in. Revelation 19 talks about the nations of the earth coming in. So it is not mentioned by name, right? It doesn't mention by name like the US or those things, but because it says the nations of the earth, that means it's a world war. It's all nations being pulled in, and definitely because Russia, the Arab, its other Arab nations are joined together, China coming together. It's most likely that there will be other nations who are in support of Israel, right? And just looking at the current scenario, you know, it's very likely that the US and its allies will support Israel. And US has been a very staunch supporter of Israel, so they will support Israel. But it's going to be nations coming together. It's what Revelation 19 says. So, though it doesn't mention by name, we can, based on what we're seeing, understand that there's going to be nations of the earth drawn into this battle. And there will be those who are supporting Israel and those who are against Israel. Okay, okay. Thank you. Thank you best. Okay, Samuel. Thank you, Pastor. So, broadly, Pastor, two questions. So, one is, few of the events that happened in the past, big ones like the World War I and II, where a lot of Jews were massacred, and even the 60 Israel-Arab war, these, you know, in some ways have some parallels with Revelation end of war. In a way, like, if we didn't know less, one would almost predict it. Like, if I'm going back, like, if I'm living sometime in those days when the 60 war is happening, I would almost get like, this is Revelation coming true. Like, there's bloodshed everywhere. Jews are getting killed everywhere and things like that. So, in that context, but while that is happening, it seems like, even though some of the things are happening exactly how it's written in the Bible, somehow it's just happening and there is no one to stop it or do anything about it. So, which also leads me to the second question, like, now that we have almost like a detailed process, step-by-step structure of how the end of days is happening. And I'm imagining people in the authorities like UN, US, would have people in their advisory body who would know what the Bible has to say about how nations have emerged from the east, west, how Israel, how the priesthood is going to happen. But so this is like, you know, will there be an, like, you know, something is written that this is going to happen and this is going to lead to the end of the world.  It just keeps happening and there's no interference at all. So I'm just thinking like, will just people sit by, like, if you don't know and then it happens, like, you know, you can say, like, we didn't know when it happened and things have unfolded the way it's unfolded. But then, you know, it's clearly said that these are going to happen and you can see, okay, step one is happening. It's like, for example, let's say the Antichrist who comes and declares a peace treaty in the war. And a lot of this, what's, I mean, this person who actually starts doing these things matches. So I think in the Christian world, we will know that, okay, this is what's happened. So it's begun. And I'm imagining in, like, among the big governments and also there would be people in the advisory who would know this. Wouldn't they do, like, so one, I'm not sure how to frame the question, but, you know, just letting things happen despite of seeing it happen. It almost seems like, you know, God's put things in motion and there's nothing that can intervene or that can foil God's plan. And us knowing all of this, like when Antichrist comes into place and declares a peace treaty, will no one try to stop him, put him behind bars or anything? Or will this, you know, we will know that this is Antichrist. Probably in the Christian world would first recognize this person as Antichrist. But we would just, you know, because things are in such a way, we'll just sit back and just watch the unfolding of the end of times. So that's what I'm talking about. Sorry. Yeah, I will quickly respond to Samuel's two questions and then we will go for a break, right? So for the first part, yes, major things have happened in the sense World War I, World War II, Six Day War. But some of the things to keep in mind is that a lot of the things that the Bible had foretold were not happening or could not have happened. Several things, for instance, the 10 nations or the 10 leaders coming in from the former Roman Empire is a more recent thing, which just came about, you know, some 20 some odd years ago, after the almost 30 years ago, after the formation of the European Union. So it was not possible back then. And then a lot of other things like we will see a global financial system was not possible, you know, back in the 1930s and so on. Or in a global religious system, or, you know, so the details that we will see in Revelation were not actually fulfilled and could not be fulfilled back in the 30s and the 50s, or even in the 70s. But in more recent times, given the advancements in science and technology and so on, we say, yeah, you know, just about everything that we see. The rest of Revelation can be fulfilled, which was not possible about 30 some years ago. So that's the difference. That's why if we were living there, we could have all already seen that, okay, these things are not yet fulfilled. That's kind of the response to the first part. The second part of the question is, it is true that, you know, the Bible and the understanding scriptures is very clear these days. But yet it doesn't mean the world's leaders themselves actually acknowledge these things. One thing, right? A lot of the people are either atheistic or agnostic and they don't care about the Bible. Some may be open, some may not, you know, so it's not easy to get everybody on the same page and talk about the leaders of the nations. Secondly, the things of God will be fulfilled.  And most of the time it's happening. The people are not the leaders are not necessarily, you know, regarding the scriptures, the way it should be. But the things of God will be fulfilled. And, you know, Revelation 13 talks about what seems to be an assassination attempt on the Antichrist. You know, that is, he is injured, but he recovers miraculously.  But he's going to survive and that itself is going to elevate him to a higher place of prominence and we'll read about that in Revelation 13. Right. So that's how I would respond to these things that the purpose of God will be fulfilled. Whatever God spoke and will happen, whether people are aware or not, it's going to unfold that way. Right. So let's take a quick break. Thank you. Welcome. I will take a quick break and then we will come back and take. I know there are more questions. We will take those questions after the break. And then we'll get into the main part, which is the sequence of events that we want to look at. Okay. So in 10 minutes, we'll be back. Thanks.
