I usually sneeze like six times before I stop and I clean up all this cardboard dust.   I believe it's straight up I don't think there's fillers in that let me check yeah I believe so I just I think it's just straight up because if we had any fillers for that since this basket would be here and the only filler I see is hip parades so and then if I look on my list here it does show that we've sold yeah we have sold about 18 total spots so definitely definitely not a not a not a filler there or 16 total spots so yeah we should do that someone asked about that yesterday and I think Chad B was like we should do that there's some good stuff hiding in there so I was like alright we can try it but I feel like yesterday was just all football we did I did see we did get more absolutely and I did see we got more flawless in but I only see one case of flawless so I don't know if that's gonna go to Instagram or not but I'm pretty sure we can post a more absolute once we sell out what's on the website chargers chargers alright so I'm gonna go through orders guys for the in the meantime then we'll see where we're at once we get done with that so Ravens Ravens and flawless Ravens are number six absolute Argentina part Argentina with that big win today I feel like Australia almost hide it up man really late but thorough Martinez was just straight up just like blowing everything he had man could have scored like a goal by then Orioles in the hobby let me go mark that Chris yeah looks like a man I mean you know we we're giving away seven free spots already and it's a filler so I mean I don't know really what else we can do but I'm sure it's gonna have to sell it at that point I just think we just need some soccer people to just dig deep and get into that filler but who knows maybe we'll have another you know promo maybe tomorrow or Monday or something and and get that done through there but you know we put up the filler and we're giving away seven free spots it'll happen man honestly it'll happen by the end of this weekend like either tomorrow today tomorrow Monday I think the latest you know that'll probably be the last one we put up if it's gonna take a little too long you know but good luck buddy bills I'm sure it will sell though so I think this is what we can get going right now guys this is what I think we can start off our day with so absolute is down to three we haven't needed to do a filler yet and I feel like since it is a fresh case I think somebody will take those last three remaining teams absolutely picture number five three left I think that's something we're gonna do today and we can post a more absolute after we sell it out to flawless same thing that other case that I seen back there is for us so sell out what we have here number five and we can post up the next one I might have the R&B these teams but I'll give it a little bit of time before I do that now on the baseball section we did trip down a trim down a break this one here in Mac it's a quick little break it's fun it's an R&B and Mac R&B baseball it is down to three left that's something we can do a little snack break you guys want and then Stover got six spots in this Jassby's four box hip parade mixer for basketball that's at eight left that's something that got trimmed down a little bit as well and it's still a little ways to go here like prism 15 pack filler 99 so you know maybe some people are a little bit a little bit tired of some soccer for now which is okay there's nothing wrong with that I'm sure we'll sell that out especially since World Cup is going on for the next week and a half still plenty of time not saying it's gonna take that long but I think the reason is that from yesterday new release of flawless absolute people are just wanting that and that's normal right we haven't had a big football release in a little bit and then same thing you know with the with kabooms in absolute we haven't seen it so people want to see one so that's why I said I think today it will still be ruled by football but we're close enough on a couple other breaks and other categories that I still think we can squeeze in so I think we'll squeeze in that four box mixer I think we actually might even squeeze in potentially a hip parade today baseball edition that r&b for immaculate and like I said I can post more absolute we have a few cases in I'll post one at a time of course and then for flawless I can post up one more I can post up one more flaws after that then for sure there's no deliveries on month on Sunday so for sure we're not gonna have any more flaws until at least Monday if that's the case so let's get that rolling guys so Alan gets a spot in the immaculate and the flawless Green Bay Packers so I'll probably give it another like 10 minutes or so if anybody wants any of the remaining flawless teams go grab them remember fresh case all new possibilities most expensive team remaining is gonna be the Patriots at 100 after that Seahawks are 80 then you have the Rams at 2999 Jaguars 50 Colts 50 Panthers 50 and Cardinals 2999 so let's let's do one of those breaks guys what's up air and I know we need a kaboom bro patrol Margarita Wow they actually make pre-made patrol Margaritas I don't ever buy like a pre-made one but that sounds pretty good though that's that's what I figured like at home right that was it but I love Margaritas man honestly I really do I like drinking beer but I really drink a michi lala with beer like that rather than a beer straight up unless it's like a really really hot day but I'm a sucker for Margaritas man just a classic I love these Dr. Pepper challenges like legit you know you don't know how much pressure these kids are actually like have because they have the opportunity to make so much money for tuition it's like I hate to be the loser oh damn they're tied although I will say that I think that that the girl on the left no the girl on the left whatever balls like rattled in and out and pop back out but they counted it dude they both missed it at the same time I have it tied again I hope they can still give tuition to the other girl all right crowd got two spots in that hip parade mixer and then a spot in that filler as well probably gets in both hip parade breaks the Jaspi edition basketball and the baseball all right so it seems like we're gonna start off our day with that immaculate oh we have at least two more break Andrew yeah I did the last one last week I think on Saturday last week and I reposted more because people were asking but I assume that's gonna be it though guys I mean it's taking this long it's gonna sell don't worry it will but we probably won't be reposting that again if it's gonna take that long I mean we're pretty much near the end we're giving away seven free spots and the fillers already down to 15 with that so obviously we're gonna have to do that but I think after that of course we're just not gonna repost it again and that's okay I think maybe maybe we're just tired of Merlin we did so much of it as you can see I think also some people are probably kind of a little bit exhausted with maybe some World Cup prism and and NT you know we've done 42 one box breaks of NT you know I mean like 15 cases of Prison World Cup and stuff like that so that's all good I just think that we'll probably won't be reposting too many of those anymore once we sell them out which is okay guys that's the one thing about the hobby is that it's a great product I think people join in on it buy on it all the time right but after a while it kind of just like all right I kind of want to move on to the next product so that's how you'll see that the reason why a lot of those breaks stopped is mainly in fact like yesterday for instance you know what all the new football everyone's like I'm kind of tired of soccer for a little bit let's do some football Mary I want to see some absolute I want to see some flawless you know and that's the one thing about the hobby is that sometimes we can refund our products here and there for a while but then after that's gonna slow down and we probably have to give it a little bit of a rest which we did with Merlin actually I think we did like 10 cases like first week we can release and then we kind of slow it down but yeah I think we can still sell it out if you guys want to sell it out like I said we're already given away seven free spots and it seems like people have bought into the filler already Michael P Allen Murdock Brian Croft Matthew Wood so it's not like we haven't sold any spots it's just kind of stalled but if you guys wanted to just grab those filler spots I mean I know if you might already have a team and that's all you wanted to commit to but I think we're gonna need a little bit more help with those breaks if you guys want to see it happen you know it's a little pricey but it seems like there's some very very big teams in that in that Merlin filler so it's definitely worth the shot and yeah Daniel said he'd like to see it happen so he'll buy a few spots he got two right now Douglas got a spot in here parade I will first to fill first to break guys this breaks down to one and like I mentioned the other break that was really close was this one down to four left so let's knock out these two breaks and get them off the board so let's get it rolling that's right Daniel I see you man I got your spots in there now on Murdock says I do not want to wait any longer gets a lot spot in the R&B for Immaculate so it seems like we should have one more Immaculate R&B because we have four boxes left it looks like so we can do that Immaculate now I'll repost it one more time and then let's work on the next break as well too guys and Alan Murdo actually sells off both breaks sells out that hip parade mixer too all right awesome back to back guys so both of these sold out I don't know we can do more of these mixers I'd have to double check this is number three I'd assume yes but I don't really know these boxes and then by the time I'm done with this Immaculate R&B if nobody else buys into flawless I'm going to random number block that and then absolute I feel like I don't want to just because we've sold those all straight up the first four bigger teams but if I have to I will try to do like a little pack filler and maybe we'll do a pack filler that sells out both breaks and get them both knocked out since it is down to three and four left but if we're absolute it seems like we're just stuck on the Cardinals at 40 Broncos 40 and then the Steelers at 250 now we haven't seen much Steelers guys I will admit we've hit a lot of Malik Willis so I think we're due for some Steelers so we'll see how that goes too excuse me all right here we go what's up everybody Jason for JaspiesCaseBrace.com we just sold out 2022 Pinini Immaculate Baseball hobby edition two blocks very random number block number three now again guys this is like any other random number block everybody gets a random number from zero through nine we go by the first number on the left side of the serial number dash so there's your examples there remember any one-on-ones go to spot one any and all redemptions go to spot zero and if there is any non-numbered calls we're randomizing to the group here's a dice relievers customer name Simon down to Allen we got zero one two three four five six seven eight nine roll we got ourselves a two to two four times good luck one two three four Bobby at the top down a nester at the bottom four times one two three four on round.org four six down to two all right so Bobby with six Gerald with zero and you know redemptions and with four at P that is Ed Aarons with eight Allen with nine Gerald with one Ed Aarons with seven Simon with five Allen with three and nester with two I don't think there'll be any traits for numbers usually there really isn't but we'll just start the break print and rip now for this break here guys we actually have half a case left I think there's a total of eight boxes per case so half a case left two on the right is what we have here so let's go one two three for the left four five six for the right to determine which one we use here and then the next one will be used for number four which would be the last one all right here we go roll six one two three four five six so this rate will be for the next one number four that would be the last one we have I think and we'll repulse that back up right now here's that trash bag all right first one is Lars Neutbar that's 32 out of 49 so of course it's gonna go to spot two that'll be nester we have a Harry Haleman 10 out of 25 so that's spot zero Gerald and yes we got a button Louise Friess four of ten spot four we're gonna add P we have hunter Brown for Houston 48 out of 49 eight's going to add Aaron's we have a Bobby Abreu 44 out of 99 signature you put 30 30 4 it's going to add P and last one here is Alec Manoa that's a 19 out of 25 spot 9 Alan Murdoch all right next one this is a heavy box here all right I got two cards in one stack but 72 out of 99 that's sunny gray and a Jason Dominguez I think that's a piece of the glove I think 17 out of 25 I want to see if this one actually has to be a starter box I don't know if it's so seven that is at Aaron's and then like I said two that is nester we have a Tyler O'Neill that's 25 out of 49 five going to Simon Ken Griffey Jr 42 out of 49 another one for nester spot two we got some models coming up now right nice patches look at that right in the late 22 another hit for spot two and nester so nester with another one spot two ever first redemption that's automatically going to spot one or spot zero I should say that's immaculate marks red Jared Kalanick so I do not know what that's out of but it does not matter that is going to automatically spot zero two more hits Holstay Siri 37 out of 47 seven is at Aaron's and last one here is a Seth beer little Jersey number RPA three color patch 23 going to Alan Murdoch and spot three last spot mojo to end it off all right and just like that guys that was the break so I'll post up another two box break we have two boxes left out of the case Jasper's case breaks dot com guys thanks all right next one has been posted I don't know about this product guys I'm gonna I don't know how many boxes we have but if we have more I'll post more let me just set everything up first oh wait all the boxes are here oh so we can repost at least another two more breaks of this all right here we go guys what's up everybody Jason for jazby's case breaks calm jazby's four box hip parade basketball mixer random season number three sold out we featured two boxes of hip parade hobby shop gold series one and two box of hip parade platinum series four so there's potential preview cards that you can potentially be chasing here now of course it is a random teams brace everybody has a random team here's a customer names and teams let's click the dice roll to see what you guys randomize and get matched up with let's roll and it's a six and a three for nine times good luck one two three four five six seven eight nine nine times six three nine andrew at the top of the next over and then we got six three nine nine one two three four five six seven eight nine boston cell ticks out of the portland trail blazers so again nine nine nine so angia this uh cell ticks nick with the grizzlies allen with the kings cordy with the 76ers been with the bulls anthony v raptors brian croft bucks next over the hawks chow with the nuggets allen with the mavericks chow with the spurs ben with the pistons brian croft

back to back trying to make it a game 35 17 middle of the third all right chair gonna close guys all right so it was two boxes of platinum two boxes of gold so here's the platinum autograph and here's the gold hobby shop exclusive so go platinum first because i think technically it might be a little less cheaper gold is more expensive i think those gold boxes we saw for about 399 if not more all right here we go guys and how about a little derrick rose little bowman back from 2009 that might have been a second year d rose i think that's pretty nice so that's chicago bulls bent six out of 100 an adjacent kid that looks like phoenix suns edition that's from flawless 20 out of 25 phoenix suns that is andrew with the suns here we go with the gold good luck guys these are gonna be tough though guys out of 30 spots 30 teams only four potential teams ahead if we don't double up so definitely high risk high reward so hopefully we get to the nice here for one of you guys that hasn't hit yet oh

platinum has like a case hit sometimes gold i know it's hobby shops i don't know if they actually have a case hit in every case but hobby shop exclusive has been pretty good this year so i think they put some really really nice hits so appreciate you guys


Hey Co-Friends, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today, we're gonna hop into a topic that got pretty heated on Instagram a couple days ago. This was all triggered from an Instagram reel. She is a professional model that made a reel about how when she goes to set, she has to do her own hair before she gets there because the stylists that are hard to do her hair on set don't know how to do curly hair. I found this extremely relatable. I too have been on plenty of sets living here in LA. I've done a couple modeling gigs, a couple fashion shows. I've been in music videos, and every single time, I have always done my hair before going to set, even though there's supposed to be someone on set to do my hair makeup and wardrobe. Why is that? Why is that a norm? Why don't professional hairstylists know how to do all textures of hair? Well, obviously this is definitely deeply rooted into systemic racism. I don't know if we have enough time for that topic, but that's the truth. Straight hair has always been the standard, the norm. Anything else is extra or specialty, but I thought there was a gray line there, right? I think maybe like weaves, sew-ins, wigs, braids, individuals, locks, those might be specialty things that maybe I wouldn't say that not everybody has to know. But I'm talking about the basics. I'm talking trims, cuts, color, and styling. You should be able to at least style all textures of hair if you are a professional licensed hairstylist. Before making this video, I actually just called three of my friends that are either professional stylists now or are currently in school to become a professional stylist. And I asked them, like, what do you learn in school to get your license about curly hair? And all of them said the same thing, nothing. Basically they told me there's like one chapter in the book about natural curly hair, but it's like how to permit, how to relax it, how to straighten it. So basically it's like how to get rid of it. That ain't right. This is really a kind of triggering topic for me because like I said in my Instagram story, I of course, just like other natural hair influencers, get a couple comments every blue moon where people try to say don't listen to these YouTubers, they're not professional stylists, da-da-da-da, and they try to like discredit my channel, our channels, because of that. First of all, I never said I was a stylist, so there's that. I've always said I'm just a girl with curly hair who's basically your guinea pig trying products and I let you know if they're good or not so you don't waste your time. That's what my channel is all about, educating you on what works for me and hopefully they work for you as well. And from my normal comments and my amount of subscribers, I think you stick around because I've been able to help you in some way. And honestly, after my Instagram story, I got the most replies that I've ever gotten from my story, I actually wrote it down. I got 486 replies. I'll be honest, I didn't get to read every single message. I appreciate them, but all the ones that I did read were people sharing their horror stories where they actually did call salon. They asked if you did curly hair and the stylist said yes, then they got there and they did a hack job. I firsthand can relate to this. For my loyal subscribers that have been here since day one, you might remember my fake diva cut experience, my first curly cut where same thing happened to me. I called the salon, I asked if you could do a diva cut which is a dry cut on curly hair. She said yes, once I got there, she was like, yeah, I had to Google a diva cut and then I was like, Google, what? I mean, you just learned what this was today and that's when I should have left.  So she did do a dry cut like I asked, but it was not what I wanted at all. And because she brushed it out, it now looks longer because it's stretched, so she cut it and then once I washed my hair, everything shrunk back up to a new size that I didn't ask for. So I mean, comment below if you can relate.  Just let me know. There's a couple of you that also can relate. And that's the problem because so many of us have that same exact story. We have trust issues. We go to salons nervous.  I'm spoiling myself. I'm gonna get pampered. Where curly people go to salons, where it's like, oh God, where it's praying and I say it's like, please, please let me keep my legs. Please don't let me leave here bald.  Like we shouldn't be uncomfortable the whole time we're in the salon. Fortunately, I have found some very trustworthy hair salons. You guys know I have my favorites here in LA and I found some in other states. Make sure you go to my Instagram. I have a whole highlight of all my favorite stylists in different areas of the US. Looking for one in every state. So you know, let's just do this. Let's try to find the best curly hair stylist in every state. Comment below, start off the comment with where you live. So it's like, Texas, go to this hair salon. Florida, I recommend this hair salon. That way maybe my comment section can be like a huge curl friend recommended hair salon list and I'm gonna check them out if you know their Instagram for their Instagram and if they, you know, look legit, I'll add them to my story because every place needs a legit curly hair salon to go to, that would be the ultimate goal. So as you guys know, I do have my favorites and now I'm finally in a position where I know I can go to these stylists and I can feel comfortable and I can be in the chair knowing that I'm gonna walk out of here with exactly what I wanted and exactly what I paid for. And that, that is rare. That is rare for us curly people to be confident in a salon chair knowing that we're gonna like what our hair looks like. And I just wish it wasn't that way. And I wish that there wasn't like this like secret rival between professionals and YouTubers. Like even in the makeup industry, a lot of makeup artists like hate YouTube makeup artists because they're like YouTubers and they're not legit but like they're not gonna take your job. Like YouTubers aren't trying to do other people's makeup. They're trying to make videos.  Like why are you mad? Not all, not all of course, there's always exceptions to the rules but even with hair stylists, a lot of hair stylists like hate YouTubers and they call us like, you know, I don't know, YouTube stylists and they just try to discredit everything that we do. And I mentioned that in my story. And fortunately I got a lot of personal messages thanking me that they've learned a lot from my channel. And even though I'm not a licensed professional because of my relatable content and my tips, I have been able to help a lot of people when it comes to their daily hairstyles or how to take care of their curly hair. That's just the facts. It's in writing. I haven't asked you guys to say these messages. I am very fortunate and blessed to have received these comments and messages from you guys and I appreciate them so much because it just, you know, it can get to you. Like, you know, people try to say that, I don't know, you're not legit enough. I wanted to share with you a DM that I got from another hairstyleist that I know and she was saying that she actually sends a lot of her clients to my YouTube page because it is so helpful. This is even true for a couple other of my friends that are hair stylists and I'm very thankful that they send their clients to me. So I really appreciated this fact that she said, you understand that product knowledge is one of the first steps to maintain healthy hair. It's true and that is like my specialty. It's more product reviews. I'm your guinea pig. I literally try things to see if they work because you can have a great experience at the salon but you're not gonna be at the salon every day. So once you get home, if you don't know what to do with your hair, that's where I come in. That's where YouTube comes in to help you with the everyday day to day knowledge. That does not mean that you should discredit YouTubers because they aren't licensed. We're helping in a different way. There's room for both of us. There's no need for this rival. Experience is always gonna come before anything for me. All I'm saying is there needs to be a change. It's just all about equality and changing what is considered standard because if curly hair isn't standard, then that means it's not normal, which I mean it's not because it's extra fabulous. But then it kind of goes with the negative stigma. Like now my hair is a problem. My hair is an issue. So, you know what? Let me just straighten it. Let me just possibly damage it. Let me just relax it because it's too hard. Stylus don't want to deal with me. I'm a problem. Like there's so much negative connotation that can come from getting that rejection of going to salons and they just don't know what to do with you. Like you feel like an outsider, you feel like an outcast. It's a horrible feeling. So once again, this is absolutely no shade to hair stylist in general, but I have so much more appreciation for these stylists that do go the extra mile to learn hair textures that aren't their own, to learn different ethnicities. That says a lot.  You can get your license and you can get hired at a salon without ever touching hair like mine. You know, there might be a specialty case where a model came in and you got to practice with someone with hair like me maybe once, twice, unless you go to a school that is specific for black hair or curly hair or whatever it may be, you can pay extra to go to a specialty school and learn more, but not everyone either wants to pay more or can pay more to get what should be standard. Aspiring stylist should not have to pay more money to learn what should be standard. That's what I'm talking about. The whole curriculum needs to change. Wouldn't you agree? And I'm really happy that I reached out to some stylists to get some other perspectives because another issue is the price of a haircut. Let's be real. A curly haircut's gonna cost you at least $100 to maybe like $200 plus, where if you have straight hair, you could go to supercuts. It's probably not gonna be the best, but at least you have the option of, okay, should I do the affordable supercuts or should I go to the Shishi salon and pay $100 or more? You have the option. Curly hair people really cannot risk going to supercuts. Like it's a huge risk and if your hair is butchered, people would be like, well, you went to supercuts. What do you expect? So I would just, I would love if we had an alternative. Same with hair products. You guys know I love curl smith. It's not a cheap product. That's why I try to review both. I also love not your mother's drugstore. We have options to fit your price range. When it comes to stylists, you better be saving up because that's how much it costs. And my girls that do try so much, I love them and they definitely deserve it because they put in work and you will leave with your curls looking flawless. But there is no alternative. And if there's no alternative, people give up on their curls. They give up on their natural hair. Like this is why I don't want to do it. It's too expensive. I'm going to straighten my hair. It's easier and they just give up on the naturally beautiful hair that they were given.  But I did talk to one of my friends, Haifilesh as I'm sure you guys know who is now a licensed hair stylist. Congratulations girl. And you know, we had this conversation and she also mentioned that curly hair stylists do charge more because it is more work. And when you think about it, she explained how she had one curly client that took her, you know, hours. And at the same time, she watched other stylists in the salon maybe get three or four clients done by the time she was still working on her one girl. That's because we do require a little extra maintenance. I mean, this is a beautiful crown to work with. You gotta give it some tender love and care. So she's sectioning hair. She's deep conditioning. She's applying products correctly. All that's gonna take a little bit more time than like a quick blow dry or a little trim that doesn't require any washing or detangling. So because there's more work, it costs more. I'll say, you're right, I see that. You know, I respect it and it's true. And even she said, but it would be nice if there was some type of cheaper option. And I know these salons are starting to pop up. I think I know of like maybe two that specialize in like washing those, you know, or just like applying the product for you. Little steps, just deep conditioning. You could pay just for a deep conditioning treatment. I think that's great. And I think we need more of that. So in conclusion, I say all this to say that we still have more work to do when it comes to the curly hair inclusion. We're still an afterthought. We're still not just truly accepted. And I just don't think it's right that you can get your hair stylist license and not know how to work with curly hair. Like you just don't know what to do with it. Where if you didn't know what to do with straight hair, you would not get hired. Like period though. You can't, you can't trim. You can't do highlights. You can't just do an ombre. You're not getting hired. But if you can't do that on curly hair, you can't cut curly hair. You can't even style curly hair. It's okay. It's fine. We'll figure it out.  If you're paying not much money to go to school and get your license, you should be able to get a full education on the full spectrum of hair. You shouldn't have to pay extra to learn how to do hair that may be like yours or that's not like yours. You shouldn't have to pay extra to learn about a very predominant hair type. It's not like I'm talking about like people with purple hair. Okay, that's pretty rare. But curly hair is like very, very common. So why isn't it a norm? So that's just my two cents. Let me know what you guys think in the comments below. How do you feel when you go to a curly hair salon? How easy is it for you to find a hairstylist that knows what to do with your hair?   And do you think that curly natural textures should be taught more predominantly in cosmetology school? Let me know your thoughts. Open conversation, it's a safe space. Let's keep it that way.

Several years ago, I bought and received a job lot of early SpongeBob SquarePants videos and the like from an eBay seller. The auction's description mentioned that several of the videos were actually given to him in the development of new episodes, implying that the seller originally worked on the show in some way. Some of the early tapes he sent me were in relatively good condition and some are a little worse for wear, with missing boxes, labels, etc. The video that grabbed my interest the most, however, was a video simply called SpongeBob Bootleg, which I believe was made in 2008. Intrigued, I played the video before any of the others I received in the job lot. The video starts with the SpongeBob intro, but in an unsettling way. The colors were pretty much dark, patchy the pirate looked totally red, SpongeBob has red colors, his pants were black and also his eyes. In some parts of the intro, SpongeBob's eyes would be changed to blue. The sand was totally black, the clouds was also dark, the bikini atoll also sounded more dark. The Nickelodeon Japan logo was also present in the tape, except the Nickelodeon font in the splat is missing. The theme's audio was also pretty much low. After the intro ended, the episode title card came. The title card seemed off. It read, colon tenny two hundred thousand one hundred fifty three. I just had no idea why the title card was like this. However, the music seemed normal. The episode started with SpongeBob walking outside. The way he walked sounded like he was depressed. The scene bubble transitioned to SpongeBob's house. It cut to SpongeBob's couch. For some reason, the couch was red and black. Very little sound is present in this scene of SpongeBob snoring. The scene once again bubble transitioned to SpongeBob in a blue and black background. This time, SpongeBob was totally black. I couldn't see his eyes, mouth, or nose. Except his legs wearing his shoes, alongside the objects that I guess they were in the place SpongeBob was. I didn't know if it was outside his pineapple, or if it was his bedroom. I just kept watching the episode. Immediately following this, Japanese text appeared on top of the screen. Even worse than this is that a beating sound was also present when this came up. After a few seconds, SpongeBob holds an axe, or maybe a knife. Scarier than this is that a sound of an axe, or a knife also played. I wasn't sure if it was an axe or a knife due to the bad quality the tape had. But it really seemed like it. A few seconds after this, the screen transitioned to another Japanese text, in red, on a white background. It could read as, Sarabada. I tried translating the text, and the result was, farewell. After this, I kinda got some context in my mind. The farewell text could have meant SpongeBob has killed himself. Other than that, this screen was only for a few seconds, as the bubbles transitioned to black for a few seconds. When the credits showed up, the colors were pretty much dark that I couldn't even see any text. The United Plankton Pictures screen showed up. This time, it wasn't that dark, as I could read the United Plankton Pictures incorporated text on the screen. On the main copyright screen, that used to show in every ending of a classic season SpongeBob episode, things seemed to be different this time. The copyright notice wasn't present, and the Nickelodeon logo was in a red color, and the Nickelodeon text was also not present this time. The screen went to black and the tape ended. I was half expecting the tape to take a more lighthearted approach. I was wrong. My original theory regarding the bootleg was that it was not meant as an actual episode, but was a test episode. I assumed that the scary scenes, not suitable for a children's cartoon, were likely added simply because the video would never go public, so they didn't have to worry about things being too scary. For around almost pretty much years, I haven't touched this tape again, until now, like everything what I told about the tape and the episode.

Okay, the recording is on. Good morning everyone. Welcome to BC 308, our course on Revelation and Daniel. Trust all of you have had a good week so far. Today is Friday, last day of the work week. Let's just pray together and then we will get started in our class. Can I request somebody to please pray with the class? Then we'll start. Thank you dear heavenly father in this morning. We come before you lot as we are going to learn from your word what help us to understand and you are the one who will give us the well understanding and you will reveal the deep revelation. We submit in your hand. Please pray later in this time. Thank you. Amen. Amen. Okay. Good morning and welcome once again. So we are looking at the book of Daniel. Today we will finish the book of Daniel and maybe we may start Revelation today.  And then before we move to Revelation just to a quick overview, highlight a few things from Daniel. Now in Daniel chapter 10, I just missed pointing out something. In chapter 10 itself that is, you know, we're not seeing any prophetic end time prophecy in chapter 10. So we didn't, we didn't really read through chapter 10. But what I do want to point out is from chapter 10 is that as Daniel is praying, you know, he has had these visions which he has shared with us. And he's praying about this chapter 10, verse 1. Daniel is, you know, he's really thinking about this message and this vision. What we see is that the angel Gabriel or the angel of the Lord here, this angel of the Lord appears, comes to Daniel in the vision. And what I do want to point out now, this is not end time prophecy. It's just a side, just some observations or you'd say like a side note from chapter 10 is that we get a little bit of insight into the spiritual realm, the angelic realm, the realm of the unseen world, the spirit world in chapter 10. And so the angel Gabriel, this is in verse 11, it doesn't necessarily point out him as Gabriel right here, but we understand because Gabriel is the one who has come before and has spoken to Daniel. So the angel speaks to Daniel, he says in verse 11, you know, from the time verse 12, from the time you started, from the day, from the first day, Daniel chapter 10 verse 12, from the first day that you started praying and asking God for an understanding of the vision, I was sent from heaven. So he says, you know, so basically, the day Daniel started praying, God dispatched the answer, meaning the messenger was sent, the messenger angel was sent. But then we get some insight in verse 13 of the spiritual realm of what's happening in the spirit world. Okay, so this is not end time prophecy, it's just an observation, like a side note. Verse 13, Daniel 10 verse 13, he says, the prince of the kingdom of Persia, withstood me 21 days or opposed me for 21 days. Now he says the prince of the kingdom of Persia. Obviously, he's not referring to the physical ruler on the earth. Because this is an angelic being. So it's not that the physical ruler on earth of Persia, you know, stopped the angel, but he's talking about a spiritual being who was interfering or hindering this heavenly angel from getting across to Daniel. And then it says, Michael, one of the chief princess. And we will see Michael once again later.  So there is the prince of Persia. Then there is Michael, who's a chief prince, one of the chief princess. So that means there are many of these chief princes. Michael was one of them came to help me for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. So in that one verse in verse 13, there is the prince of Persia. There is Michael, the chief prince. And there are the kings of Persia. I want you to see that. And all of these are referring to angelic beings, not, you know, I mean, spirit beings, not physical, because these are angels in action. So the angel was sent. And the prince of Persia was stopping him, along with the kings of Persia, that means other demonic beings. And then Michael, the chief, one of the chief angel comes and helps him.  So we see here in this verse, this hierarchy of spiritual beings, which, you know, we are familiar with Ephesians 6 verse 12. The Bible talks about principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness and spirits of wickedness and heavenly places. Meaning there's this hierarchy, and we are seeing this in, you know, this being played out here for us in verse 13. And very interesting, this isn't the Old Testament, you know, where we're seeing this, we're getting this insight into the spirit world and how there are these demonic beings, which in this case would be the prince of Persia, the kings of Persia, who are opposing this angelic messenger. And Michael was a chief prince comes and helps him. So it also gives us understanding that there are demonic powers over regions and territories like this. And later on, in verse 20, the same angel also refers to the prince of Persia and also refers to the prince of Greece. So he's not just talking about the prince of Persia, but he's talking about the prince of Greece. And then in verse 21, he refers to Michael as your prince, meaning the prince who is Israel. That means Michael is the archangel who is assigned to Israel. So we're seeing that there are angelic beings, good angels, bad or fallen angels who are territorial, you know, they operate specifically over certain regions and so on. So we get that observation from chapter 10. It's just a side note. I don't want, it's not, you know, not in time Bible prophecy, but just something for you and me to keep in mind, right? In chapter 11, we did not read chapter 11. I just mentioned in passing that Daniel, chapter 11 is like Daniel's prophecy where he goes through starting from the Medes and the Persians to the Greek Kingdom, Alexander the Great, and then on to talking about the Northern Kingdom, which are the kings of Syria and the Southern Kingdom to the kings of Egypt. And he actually talks about what will happen. And historically, it was fulfilled and I've just given you the history. Now, you know, for us, it may not be very interesting.  But what is very notable is Daniel prophesied about what was going to happen. And this is where, you know, many people have problems with Daniel, chapter 11, because they're saying, wow, how could he have prophesied in such detail and in such accuracy about kings yet to come several hundred years into the future, which were fulfilled, you know, and when historically when you list all the kings of the kings of Syria, the kings of Egypt, right succeeding, you know, right after Alexander the Greek Empire and so on, you find it all fulfilled. And so that is very, very astounding part of Daniel 11. Okay. Now, where we want to focus on is from verse 35 of Daniel 11. So I left that part out, but we will pick up from there because now he's jumping through time. So there is the near fulfillment. That means all he has said from Daniel chapter 11 from verse one all the way to verse 35, what things that were fulfilled in history that were closer to the time of Daniel or from Daniel on. And then he jumps in time to the very end, the end times. So that we pick up from the end of our study five on till the end of chapter 12. So that's of interest to us because that is concerning end time prophecy. Okay. So the near fulfillment, I've given you the list of historical kings that already was fulfilled, but we're going to pick up from verse 35. Okay. Daniel chapter 11, 35, and then we go on to reading. So in from verse 35 onwards, he shifts and says, okay, this is what's going to happen in the future. And he starts talking about the Antichrist, who he has already informed us in chapter seven, eight, and nine. You remember that he has spoken to us about, you know, in chapter seven, but he sees the four beasts or animal like creature, annual creatures from the fourth beast, which was the representing the parallel that we see was the Roman Empire, parallel to the feet of iron. Here's the image. There were 10 horns that came out parallel to the 10 toes of Daniel, of chapter two, the image in chapter two. So the 10 horns came. And then there was another little horn that came.  And so then Daniel begins to explain that this, he tells us a lot of things in chapter seven, eight, and nine. He tells us that this little beast, which of course refers to the Antichrist, he speaks against the Prince of the Most High, that means speaks against Jesus Christ. He goes after, he persecutes the people of God. He stops the sacrifices that are in the temple. He desecrates the temple. He also, you know, he makes it peace treaty. This is in chapter nine. He makes a covenant for one week, but in the middle of the week, he breaks the covenant. So all these things we have, Daniel has already spoken about the Antichrist in chapter seven, eight, and nine. He has explained it to us. Now we are going to read some more of the kinds of things that are going to happen. So verse 35, he says, you know, and some of those understand, some of those of understanding shall fall to refine them, purify them and make them white until the time of the end, because it is still for the appointed time. So while he has been speaking about all the historical kings and all that, end of verse 35, what I want to point out is he now goes shifting focus still until the time of the end, until the time of the end, because it is still for the appointed time. So he's now shifting to time of the end, appointed time, then from verse 36 starts about the time of the end. So let's read from verse 36 onwards, two verses, okay. Okay, let me just go through it two by two. I mean, verse 36 and 37, somebody can read and I'll make some comments. Somebody can read verses 36 and 37. The king will do as he please, exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every God, even bless meaning, blessing the God of God. He will succeed, but only until the time of birth is completed for what has been determined will surely take place. He will have no respect for the God of his ancestors or for the God loved by women or for my other God, for he will boast that he is greater than them all. Yeah, so verse 36 starts off with the word then, that means when at the time of the end, at the appointed time, so that is out in the future, then that means at that time, in the appointed time, this kind of person will come. A king will do according to his own will. So the king, and like I mentioned, I think last week, when we talk about the word king, it doesn't necessarily mean a monarch as was understood in Bible times. It could just, you know, just meaning a leader, a person, an authority, right? So we translate Bible language because it was written in the language and the culture and the context of the writer. We have to translate that to the time of, and it's going to be fulfilled. So it's not necessarily a monarch, but it's a leader, person of influence and power and authority. So he will do according to his own will. He will, you know, just do what he wants. He's going to speak blasphemies against God. So this very much parallels or similar to what he has already told us about the Antichrist in earlier chapters, chapters seven, eight, nine, right? So mainly seven and eight, we have a lot of details. So he speaks blasphemies against God, but he's going to succeed in all this until the time.  So he's going to blaspheme God. He's not going to worry about any earthly God or the gods that people worship or women worship. Any God, because his goal is to set himself up as God. And when we go to Revelation chapter 13, that's exactly what he'll do. The Antichrist will set himself up as God to be worshiped. So he doesn't, he's not going to care about anything. He's going to speak against God. He's going to set himself up as God because ultimately behind the Antichrist is Satan. So Antichrist is basically Satan's representative. And if he gets people to worship him, they're actually worshiping Satan. So he's going to exalt himself above everything. That's verse 37. So let's go till verse 39, 38, 39, please. Daniel 11, 38, 39.  Claiming this foreign God's help, he will attack the strongest fortress. He will honor those who submit to him, appointing them to position of authority and devoting the land among them as their reward. Okay. So Daniel was saying that he's going to be empowered by this powerful God. And he just refers to it as a foreign God. So obviously, at that point, Daniel doesn't know that this foreign God, meaning this totally unknown God is actually Satan himself. But so this Antichrist, this man who's speaking blasphemies against God, is going to honor, really, when he talks about gold and silver precious stones, so expression of honor. He's going to honor this foreign God, this outside realm God.  So all those who are joined with him, he's going to help them out, give them land, divide the land for gain and so on. Okay. And around, and so at this time, what will happen verse 40 and 41 is so Antichrist by this time has established himself in Jerusalem, there in a seven years peace treaty.  Verse 40 and 41. With the King of Zaria, final honor, honor hour has almost come. The King of Egypt will take him and the King of Zaria will fight back with all his power using chariots, horses and many ships. He will invade many countries like the waters of a flood. He will even invade the promised land and kill the lands of thousands. But the country of Itom, Moyup, and what is lived in lived of Amoy, will it escape? Verse 42 also. Verse 42, with he invades all those countries, even Egypt will not be spared. So what happened is, as this man is, you know, Antichrist doing all these things, Syria from the north and Egypt from the east are going to move in to oppose him in what he is doing. But he is, and he's also, this says, verse 41, he will also enter the promised land. So the Antichrist is coming in to the promised land and he's basically setting himself up as God. So in the process anger many people and then we come into revelation, we will see chapter 17 and 18 that in chapter 17 that this, this, there is this religious system, which the Antichrist has been backing. So there is a false prophet who we will see obviously start presenting some sort of a religious figure who is, you know, the Antichrist and the false prophet are hand in hand. The false prophet is promoting the quote unquote religion of the Antichrist, getting people to worship him. So obviously that's going to angle a lot of people. In Revelation 17, we are seeing that support for the false prophet suddenly collapses. You know, these 10 leaders who were once supporting the Antichrist and this false prophet just withdraw and so this whole religious system collapses. So we will see that in the book of Revelation. But here what we're seeing is people from the city from the north, Egypt from the south are attacking. The Antichrist is taking over the promised land and, but then, you know, it's, it's interesting to see here in verse 41, that is, it mentions either Moab and Ammon will escape out of his hands. So either Moab and Ammon are the people, of course, from the Old Testament, but it refers to the people right today in current modern day Jordan, which is just neighboring the land of Israel.  Now that is an interesting thing because when we come to Revelation, Revelation 12, it tells us that the people of Israel will actually be, will go into a desert place and they will be preserved for 1,260 days, that's, you know, approximately three and a half years. During the second half of the tribulation, they will be preserved even though the Antichrist is going after them. So it seems to indicate, if you put this along with that together, that there will probably be some Israel, Israelis or people of Israel who will escape into the neighboring country of Jordan, which is the land of Eden, Moab and Ammon. They will escape there so that, you know, they could save their lives. And very specifically in Zechariah chapter 13, it tells us very clearly that about two-thirds of the Jews will remain in Israel, they'll be destroyed, but one-third who escape, you know, they'll be preserved. So, you know, when we put Zechariah 13 along with here Daniel 11 and Revelation 12, you can piece those pictures together, but there will be people, you know, who escape. So that's of interest to us, but it says Egypt verse 42, Egypt will not escape, you know, so there's going to be all of this war happening. And then let's finish up the last few verses, 43 to 45, Daniel 11, 43 to 45. Now, all these things I'm saying, they're in the notes, okay, so you can always go back and read the PDF, what I'm saying, but I'm just explaining it now. Okay, 43 to 45. He shall have power over the treasure of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt, also the Lebanese and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels, but news from the east and the north shall trouble him. Therefore, he shall go out with great force to destroy and animate many, and he shall plant the tents of his places between the seas and the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his aunt and no one will help him. Thank you. So verse 43, it says like he shall have power over treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things. And that's again very interesting, it's talking about how he's going to have control over, you know, gold, silver, precious things, money, wealth. And we see, we know, Revelation 13, what happens when the Antichrist comes, he's going to introduce a system where nobody can buy herself, except they have the mark of the beast. Right, so that means in some way he's going to take control or have influence over the financial system, Revelation 13. And here Daniel is saying he's going to have power over the wealth. And so we see that in Revelation 13. But when you come to Revelation 18, just before the end, this whole financial system will collapse. All the people, all the wealth, all the good, you know, everything will just disappear, disappear, it will become of no value overnight. Right, so he's going to have control over all these things, which we know he does, Revelation 13, but we also know Revelation 18, it'll all collapse. So it says that even Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, meaning these other nations, African nations, all, there will be nations that are being controlled by him. Verse 44 is interesting, because it says news from the east and the north will trouble him. And when you come to Revelation, you see, we will see this in Revelation 16, there is this movement of the armies from the east. They're moving in towards Megiddo or the valley in the northern part, the valley in the northern part of Israel, for the battle of Armageddon. So you have this army, the kings from the east moving in in Revelation 16. So obviously here it says news from the east will trouble him. So there's this huge army coming in, he's going to be troubled. And from the north, we will see that Russia is going to begin to move from the north. So here he says in verse 44, news from the east and the north will trouble him. And we can see in the book of Revelation, although the Bible doesn't mention who are the countries, it just says there's going to be the kings of the east moving in. We could or we could speculate or maybe within some reason think that this may be most likely China because it's the biggest largest country east of the promised land. And north, of course, Russia coming in. So it's going to trouble him and he's going to go out with great fury to destroy. So there's going to be this clash in this fight happening which when we come to the book of Revelation, it's the battle of Armageddon. But verse 45, he's going to make his headquarters on the glorious holy mountain, which is Jerusalem, between the seas. So verse 45, the Mount Zion, which is Jerusalem. So the Antichrist is going to make Jerusalem his headquarters. But it says, yet he shall come to us and no one will help him. So that is the end. You know, when the Lord Jesus comes, Revelation chapter 19 tells us very clearly how the Lord will destroy the Antichrist and overthrow him. The beast and the false prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire. So these are things we can see here. It will be much more clearer when we go into the book of Revelation. But we can draw, we can see the parallel. Now just keep in mind that Daniel wrote the things he saw, what he was told, in the language and in the context of his time. But what he understood, he wrote it down. But when we compare this with the book of Revelation, it becomes a lot more clearer for us. Is everyone with me so far before we start chapter 12? Any questions on this last portion of chapter 11? Okay, everyone's okay? Go ahead, friends. He is saying that he will be controlling everything. Like he will go out and silver everything he will get. And now in this time, we will say the bitcoin. This is the controlling everything in the money. So it's a good question. Now here's what I would say. I wouldn't say, okay, just the fact that bitcoin itself is the thing. But I think the movement that we are seeing globally towards a digital currency, the movement that we are seeing everywhere towards digital currency, whatever form it may be, whether it's bitcoin, which has its own way of working, or even in all our transactions today, we are not necessarily using paper money. I mean, there is paper money. You can have Indian rupees or US dollars or coins, but people are doing a lot of things digitally. Bitcoin is part of this old digital currency space. And even like here in India, they're trying to introduce the digital rupee. You know, the diamond is speaking about it. I'm saying we're going to introduce digital rupee, which will be equivalent to the paper money. But this is digital format. So we're actually going into completely or not, I would not say completely, but moving more and more into this digital currency, which is going to make it easier for control, I mean, first of all, it's going to make it easier for all of us to be connected with each other financially. You know, as it is, global markets are very interdependent on each other. Something happens, you know, some part of the world, you know, it affects prices and affects economies and other parts of the world because we are so connected. And moving to a digital currency will, you know, more and more, it's going to make us even more connected, which also means that it's easier for somebody to be able to control or somebody or something, some entity, to control things digitally. You know, it's no longer dependent on you having a paper currency of the paper currency of that type. It's not needed. As for instance, sitting here in India, we can, you know, we can transact in almost any currency in the world. You can transact in US dollars or, you know, pounds or Australian dollars or Malaysian ring it. We don't have to have the physical currency with us. We can buy and sell online, you know, in whichever currency you want, if you have a card or some means for transacting online. So we don't need that paper with us. So it is a good observation and my answer would be, yeah, it's all facilitating or it's all moving towards something where Revelation 13 can be even more easily fulfilled. And if you look back in time, say maybe 30 years ago before the internet, this would not be possible. It would be very difficult. But within 30 years, so much has changed financially that today it's possible. It's Revelation 13 where the Antichrist, you know, when he says nobody can buy one's cell unless we have the mark of the beast. Well, it is, you know, if somebody is powerful enough, they could make it happen, you know, because of the financial markets and things that are in place and just in 30 years, 30, 35 years, things have changed so much. Okay. Aaron asks the question. Okay, thanks. Can please explain verse 44? Yeah, so verse 44, it says news from the east and the north will trouble him. So he is, you know, he's put himself up on the glorious holy mountain, which is Jerusalem. Okay, so you think Antichrist now, he's come into Jerusalem, he's put himself up in the temple, being wanting to be the one to be worshiped and all of that. He's operating there. Yeah. News from the east. So east of Israel, I think. And then we compare it with Revelation chapter 16, where the armies of the east or the kings of the east were moving in. And let me give you the exact words. Yeah, this is in verse 14. Sorry, verse 12. Revelation 16, 12, the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and its water was dried up so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. So kings from the east coming in, right? Revelation chapter 16 and verse 12. So what's happening? Revelation 16, 12 says that kings from the east, east of Israel, nations, leaders are coming in from the east. And it says in verse 14, kings of the earth, of the whole world, they gathering together to the great day of battle. Revelation 16, 14. Revelation 16, 16 refers to Armageddon, you know that. So the kings of the east are spoken of in Revelation 16, 12. And this you can compare with Daniel 1144. News from the east troubles them because that means there is this movement of armies, kings of the earth from the east. And a major country, a major nation, the east of Israel is, of course, China, but there are a lot of other countries as well, who probably all get together and say, we're going to go against this man. And then from the north, news from the east and from the north. So from north of Israel, the largest, I'm not saying the only, but the largest nation from the north who could move in from the north is Russia. And of course, there will be the allies, which means other Arab nations who will all get together to come against the Antichrist. And so that's spoken of here in Revelation 16, which is the buildup for the battle of Armageddon. Is that okay? All right. Okay. Any other questions so far? Okay. All right. So now all this is happening. And this is all during the tribulation, but most specifically in the second half of the tribulation, right? Because in the first half of the tribulation, the first seven years, we know that he sets up a treaty, a peace treaty, a covenant for seven years. So things are going to be kind of peaceful the first, but in the middle of the seven days, seven years, he breaks the covenant. And that's when all these things begin to happen. Right? So the first three and a half years, he's trying to be this man of peace, a covenant, but in the middle, he sets himself up in the temple of God. We know this from Daniel chapter 9 and verse 27. And he sets himself up to be worshiped. And he's suddenly changes. That's when all the trouble starts. So this second part of this tribulation, we see different terms used in the Bible. It is referred to as the Great Tribulation. It is referred to as the time of Jacob's trouble from Jeremiah chapter 30, verses 4 to 8, 4 to 11. It is also referred to as the times of the Gentiles. Right? So I've given that in the notes. So that's the second half of the tribulation. It's also known by these terms in scripture. And so chapter 12, verse 1 begins like this. At that time, what time is he talking about? The second half of the tribulation, when the previous verses, that means when this man, Antichrist, is speaking all these blasphemous things about God and setting himself up to be worshiped and doing all these things. And all these things are happening at that time. It's during the second half of the tribulation. It says, Michael shall stand up the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people. Right? So Michael, so he is the archangel who is watching over Israel. So like I mentioned earlier, from chapter 10, there is the prince of Persia. There is the prince of Greece. There are the kings of Persia. So like that, there are these demonic powers or angelic beings, fallen angels who are watching over these nations. Here he's talking chapter 12, verse 1. He's telling us Michael, the great prince, that means he's a chief prince. He's an archangel. He is watching over Israel. So that doesn't mean he's doing it alone. Of course, under him are all the other angelic armies. But Michael is the archangel who's in charge of that territory, Israel. Okay. So he's going to rise up. What's going to happen? I'm reading on in verse 1. There shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that time. So he's telling, hey, this is going to be the worst time on earth ever, talking about the Great Tribulation period. There will be so much trouble like there's never was since the time nations were formed on the earth. It's going to be so bad. So that's what we're saying. That's the time of Jacob's trouble. It's the Great Tribulation, the times of the Gentiles. It's going to be a lot of confusion. We will see when we come to Book of Revelation, all the things that are said will happen in the second half of the Great Tribulation, which is the Great Tribulation. But here it's telling us in verse 1, there'll be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered. Everyone was found written in the book. So it's saying, look, at that time, your people will be delivered. That means there will be some who will be destroyed or who will be killed. And there'll be some who will be preserved. God will preserve some of the Jewish people or the people of Israel. And we see this again in parallel to, like we said in Revelation 12, where God will preserve them for 1,260 days, keep them, protect them. God will do that. Then verse 2, and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth, that is, who die, will awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame, and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever. So he is looking ahead in time to the, when everyone is raised back to life.  So, and it says, and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars for them. They're going, people who are shining forever. So, verses 2 and 3, so there's going to be at the end of the seven year tribulation, Jesus is going to come. And what we will see in Revelation 20 is that those who died during the tribulation would be raised up, end of the tribulation, and they will live through the millennium. But at the end of the thousand years, every person will be raised up. Revelation 20, verses 13, 14, 15, end of the tribulation. Every person, the Bible says, the sea gave up its dead, ever, and they will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. So those who sleep in the dust of the Achela wake, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting contempt. So, verse 2, to me that seems to be a picture of what Revelation 20, 14 to 15 is talking about, the great white throne judgment. But every person, every living person will be alive. And, you know, that's the final judgment. And those who are wise, they're going to shine forever, like the stars forever. They're going to be in that eternal kingdom, new heavens and the new earth, you're going to be assured in there. That's Revelation 21 and 22. Okay, so we will look at that. But it's very interesting that Daniel is given an understanding of what is going to happen about eternal, the final judgment and beyond. He just describes it like this in verse 3. They're going to shine like the stars forever and ever. Okay, I know the time is up for this first hour. We're going to pause here. We'll take a break and come back. And if you have any questions with these first three verses, I'll come to ask. And then we will just finish the rest of chapter 12 and maybe do an introduction to Revelation. Okay, so let's take a break and we will be back in 10 minutes. Thank you.


so you're ready for the holiday break. I'm Sergeant Bechtelheimer from the 734th AMS. And I'm Sergeant Ole from the 36 OSS. And this is your flight line tip. When driving on the flight line, always keep an eye out for the air marshallers and taxiing vehicles. When an air marshaller makes the stop signal movement, it's important that you pay attention and stop your vehicle. Then proceed immediately to the other side of the wingtip clearance lines. It is also important to yield and give right-of-way to aircraft in motion. Ensure vehicles parked at the side of the aircraft are clear of the wingtips and clearly visible to personnel in the aircraft cockpit. The air marshaller will wear an orange vest and will have brightly colored paddles or light wands to make it easier for others to notice them. Once the air marshaller gives the go signal, you can safely continue driving on the flight line. Again, I'm Tech Sergeant Robert Bechtelheimer. And I'm Tech Sergeant Janelle Ole. And this is your flight line tip.


I want to let you know we have found the car now this is not known nobody knows this at all but the car was burned and we do not know yet whether any bodies are inside of the car because of the intense heat that still is in the area of the car the license plates on the car are the same that was on the car that was in the Philadelphia Mississippi yesterday and apparently this is off to the side of the road it wasn't going toward meridian but is going in the opposite direction now whether anybody's in the car we won't know until we can get into the car ourselves we've got agents across on the ground and as soon as we get definite word I'll cross get worried to you but I did want you to know that apparently what happened these men have been killed although as I say we can't tell whether anybody's in there and view of the intense heat but I what would make you think they've been killed because of the fact that it is the same car that they were in in Philadelphia Mississippi and the same license number is on the outside of the car now as I say the heat is so intense you can't tell on the inside that everything's been burned whether any charred bodies or not it is nearly an assumption that probably they were burned in the car on the other hand they may have been taken out and killed on the outside or maybe kidnapped and locked up well I would doubt whether those people down there would would even give them that much of a break but of course we're going to go into that very thoroughly not only as to the factors to whether they're still alive if they're not in the car then they may have been killed and their bodies buried in one of those swaths down there. Where did you find the car? How far from Philadelphia? The car was about I say eight miles from Philadelphia but not in the direction of Meridian it was in the opposite direction now they had left Philadelphia according to the reports that we had earlier to go to Meridian which is about 20 miles. This however was on State Highway 21 and the car was off to the side of the highway although it could be seen from the highway and the an Indian agent is an Indian reservation down in that area although the car is not on the reservation an Indian agent saw the car and immediately notified us and we went there and there we found this condition. How long has it been burnt? Well we frankly don't know the intense heat would have indicated that the car probably had been burning for mainly six hours or five or six hours. What would you indicate if there was gas rain? I would think so yes there wasn't any indication of any explosion like dynamite or anything of that kind and cause dynamite wouldn't have caused the intense heat and fire that kerosene or gasoline would have. Well that's why I still call it jump out of the car burning. Well you would think they would unless they've been bound and were locked in that car and then the car set afire. Well why don't we have an agent be able to look at the car and see if there's any bones in it. See whether there's any bodies in it? Any bones. Well the reason for that is the car is so burned and charred with heat that you can't get close to it except that we did get the license number which is on the outside of the car. The car is still burning? Well the car is still burning yes. You mean the effect that's happened in the last few minutes? No I don't think it's the last few minutes. I think it's something that's happened within the last maybe five or six hours. You see they didn't leave there until some time yesterday I think it was. Okay you call me as soon as you can.

Dinobot here was a surprise find for me when my wife sent me to our local Walmart to pick up my son a bookcase and before you asked The bookcase was purchased So I found Dinobot on the bottom shelf and I'm looking all over to see if maybe Inferno's there too, maybe hid behind something else But no luck Dinobot was the only wave 2 Voyager that I found Still very happy to get him because I have him currently pre-ordered on Amazon But they're saying he won't arrive until around May so I'm going to cancel that now that I've got this guy in hand So now taking a quick look at the packaging We've got Dinobot here behind that little plastic window Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom and some great artwork of Dinobot both in raptor mode and Robot mode. I love that artwork. That looks so cool Back of the box. We've got Dinobot in robot mode and raptor mode once again side of the box Kingdom artwork So now without further ado, let's get Dinobot opened up out of this packaging and check him out and Welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews Now once you get Dinobot all opened up out of his packaging you do see he comes with a sheet of instructions That as usual are very well illustrated and very easy to follow. He also comes with a trading card I got another Optimus Prime here. I thought I'd get new cards with wave 2 But oh well, you got Optimus Prime here in robot mode Peel the sticker back in there is Optimus Prime actually That's the exact same image just with a lot of Cybertronian writing So that is a different card. Last time it was like a dead Optimus Prime. So okay, it is different So you get the card. He also has his tail slash spinning shield weapon and His sword so now let's take a closer look at Dinobot himself Dinobots robot mode looks Amazing he looks like he just stepped right out of the television show Which is fantastic because Dinobot was one of the best transformer characters ever Created and he had one of my all-time favorite lines in all the Transformers series Now taking a closer look at the figure I Mean this guy is spot on look at that head sculpt That head sculpt is amazing with some great paint applications black stripes up here along the top and the brow Painted red eyes that look great and that face just looks awesome Moving on down the figure. He's got great molded detail that looks like the dinosaur skin Got the little blue rib cage right there with the Gold paint gold paint here on the crotch Moving on down. He's got more dinosaur detailing on down to the legs It's more of that gold brown now I wish that this gold right here was down here on the legs because that's how he was in the cartoon show But hey beggars can't be choosers He does have a little bit of a backpack, but still it doesn't really look that bad Now one issue I have with robot mode is this right here He's got a little Wibble wiggle wobble right there at the waist now that waist rotation is really tight It's just like he's not pinned in all the way But from what I hear this is common with this figure now going on into articulation The head is on a ball joint. It can look up it can look down It can do the little Cock-eyed look and do a complete 360 the arms can go all the way up actually that's not supposed to that That's part of the transformation. So still the arms can go all the way up. They can do a complete 360 There is an elbow bend. There is a wrist rotation and check the hands out Just like the cartoon. He's got the dual thumbs right there the claws. I love the details on this robot mode also along with the wrist rotation you have a wrist Swivel here like a little wrist joint and as I showed earlier there is waist rotation Legs can go all the way out back in forward backwards Slightly but you have to do it at an angle There is a knee bend, but it's very very tight and I thought he had a knee rotation It looks like there's one right there, but that's just sculpted details. So don't try to force force your figure to do a knee rotation. There is some thigh rotation just a little bit and down here Is some ankle tilts. So lots of articulation for this guy. You can make him look Really badass with some poses Especially when you're giving his weaponry and the weapons include the tail section here that opens up Into what should be his spinning blade shield, but unfortunately this does not spin So you attach this to his hand. He's got little peg holes right there. So you can attach That like so And he also has his Spinning sword. Let me get his foot straight here Right here looks just like it did on the cartoon show Except the blade is purple. I wish they painted that silver that would look so much better Now I might go ahead and paint this silver myself with my chrome pen It looks like it would pop right out and I've tried and tried it and I can't get it to do it So it may be glued in so I may have to just be very careful as I paint this up Now you can put it in his hand as a sword or plug it into the spinning shield Like so, but it looks so much better as a sword So you would peg it in it's got this little peg right on the side that would go in Right there. Just wrap the fingers around and so now you have Dinobot all armed and ready for battle and As badass as the character is his weapons were badass too. I always love how that sword Rotated around so that's pretty much it for Dinobot in robot mode. Now. Let's get him transformed into Dinosaur mode now, of course the first thing we're going to do is remove the weaponry. We'll go ahead and take the tail shield off first put that to the side and Remove the sword So now what you're going to do is bring the arms all the way up like I had them earlier when I was Showing them off make sure and get these little shoulder sections out right here then along the sides You're going to swing out his Raptor arms So those actually form his Robot side there now.  So now Extend the raptor head up like so This is a wonky transformation. So now let's see what's next. Let's bring the legs up Or let's see I rotate these around like so You're gonna bring these this flap back over this actually forms the dinosaur thigh So get that pegged in You'll rotate the leg around like so So you've got a leg That looks like that. We'll go ahead and do this on the other side Leg up bring these down peg them together So we've got that going on go ahead and get this Leg rotated around just right you want to make sure the hollow bits are on the inside There we go They're gonna take the legs and on the inside of the leg you're gonna open This section out actually it's on the outside leg my bad I've only transformed this guy wants please bear with me.  Let's see fold the Heels in has really tight joints there Everything's tight except for his little hip wiggle.   He just looks so Derpy mean Look at the face.  Just like studio series Grimlock?   There's no blast effect port or anything in there So I don't know why that is now as far as articulation the top of the jaw moves up And the bottom is on a hinge, but you can't really Open very wide. So that's weird The front arms look terrible. They can go up in and out. There is a little wrist Rotation there, but he's stuck in that Look there, which I think looks so dorky a lot of robot shows through which you know I guess it can be accepted They kind of try to perform a miracle getting a perfect Dinobot robot mode to look like the Raptor, but still maybe there could have been something else. They could have done Let's see. I don't think I have those pegged in right. They kind of fit Around that a little better No, that's about it Let's see the back legs There's no articulation up here. That's a solid piece the way it is for transformation But the knees can move and there is Rotation there at the claws Get all those robot pieces hanging out there and then you have the tail. I I hate how the tail looks with that purple tip sticking out It's like an excited dog. If you know what I mean, so yeah, dinosaur mode Dinosaur mode is not good at all and this guy He deserves to be extinct. So there you go guys dinosaur mode And now for some quick size comparisons here is Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Dinobot with Kingdom Megatron Kingdom Optimus Primal and Kingdom Rat Trap Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Dinobot is a figure. I am split right down the middle on on one hand He's got a great robot mode that looks like he stepped right out of the screen Except for maybe a few missing paint applications. I love the detail on robot mode. I love the sculpting I love the pose ability robot mode to me is Perfect what I can't stand is the dinosaur mode. His raptor mode is Terrible-looking. I just he looks derpy I don't understand why he's missing front teeth again, just like Studio Series Megatron and It just it looks like garbage. I'm just not a fan of his raptor mode But it is what it is. I will sacrifice that raptor mode for this screen accurate Dinobot So there you go guys Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Dinobot So does a Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Dinobot belong in your collection? Absolutely for robot mode his raptor mode Sucks, but the robot mode is fantastic for any Beast Wars fan out there Especially those who enjoyed the cartoons as much as I did this Dinobot figure looks Amazing, like I said, it looks like he stepped right out of the screen Though I do wish he had some different paint applications Maybe some more gold there on the shins and up here on the hips to make him more cartoon accurate Not to mention I'd like to see some silver paint there on the sword instead of that purple now speaking of the weapons There is weapon storage on his back So if you don't want to have him holding his shield or sword you can peg that right in Along his back and actually stores really well now another complaint as you can see that Loose hips. I don't understand why that is. I guess there's a pin that just didn't go all the way through because his waist is really tight so When you're holding him that's that's kind of annoying but standing on the shelf You're not going to notice him whatsoever now the raptor mode man. I hate that raptor mode It's just it looks derpy It's missing the front teeth and for some reason I can't get mine to tab in fully probably noticed during the review The hips on mine just kept popping out Now I've been messing around with this guy for a few days and I just cannot get those hips to tab in Of course that may just be my figure, but then again, I don't plan on ever transforming Dinobot back to his raptor mode again He's going to be displayed proudly in robot mode on my shelf. So That being said Beast Wars fans fans of the Beast Wars cartoon pick this guy up. You're not going to be disappointed Now guys, if you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to click that bell icon To get notified when I upload new reviews Also, if you're in any position to help out the channel I offer channel memberships here on YouTube and I also have a patreon page And I want to give a big shout out to my newest YouTube channel member Amadar sing man, I really hope I didn't mess your name up, but thank you so much for your support Now once again guys, this is Patriot Prime signing out


It's not because of city ordinances. It's primarily because of the self-interest of the builders, the self-interest of the insurance companies, the self-interest of the people who live in these buildings. Nobody has, nobody has an incentive to watch one of these buildings collapse, to be in one of these buildings as they collapse. So first we have to realize how rare an occasion this is, how rare of an occurrence this is and how unusual it is. And before we start asserting responsibility and blaming the system and blaming contractors and insurance companies and landlords and tenants and all of this stuff. The first thing you have to do is observe how unusual this is and how the system, in terms of building safe buildings, works pretty well, works pretty well. Buildings that we live in are unbelievably safe. And the fact that we all take their safety for granted, even though we might go up in New York in the 60s, 70s story building and we don't think twice about it, is a testament to modern, to what's left of capitalism and freedom and the fact that we have a high level of trust in our society, which is what you get in freedom. In freedom you have a high level of trust. What you're trusting is the self-interest of the other party. What you're trusting in is the good, the fundamental goodwill that people have that fundamentally people are not about cheating, cutting corners and not caring about consequences. That's not what most people are about. Even as many people on the left assume that about them. Now let's look at what actually happened in Florida. I know we don't have all the details and it's going to be interesting to monitor the story and see what happens. It looks like about three years ago, an engineer warned the Condo Association that there was significant damage in the foundations around the pool area and in the garage. Now, actually before we get to that, how are these buildings? Who owns these buildings? I mean, who owns the building? Well, the people who own the building in Florida people who own the building that I live in in Puerto Rico are the tenants, other people who live there or at least the people who own the apartments, the condos there.  And my association fee in Puerto Rico is very, very high. It's much higher. It's 20 times, almost 20 times higher than what I paid the association fee in a gated community in California. And the reason for that is in the gated community, first of all, the gated community was massive. So there were a lot of people paying a small amount and that was enough to take care of the roads and to take care of the common spaces. A condo is relatively small. There are far fewer units. So the cost of maintenance is sped over a few people and therefore the cost is high. But part of what you pay when you buy a condo is for that common space. And then on a monthly basis, you're paying for its maintenance and upkeeping and for insurance. The building has insurance and for any fixing, any structural damage that might occur to the common areas. What are the common areas? Well, it's the lobby is placed like that. But more fundamentally, what are the common areas? More fundamentally, the common areas are the foundations. Are the foundations of the building, the garage, the columns, the things that everybody in the building relies on, rely on to keep the building up. So that's who owns the building. It's the you know, I got accused of it's the accusation was I said that. Well, we'll get to what I said in a minute. Anyway, so the condo association is usually a board that the owners of the condo vote and appoint people to this board and this board manages the common areas. And when there's an important decision to be made about spending money or about new policies, by the way, our condo buildings as a pretty thick, you know, guides and policies, what you can do, what you can do. The board, for example, in our building has decided you have to work, you know, that you're covered you have to wear a mask in the common areas. And they decide kind of on pool hours and how they how the gym is run. And they, you know, the money that we pay monthly pays for the gym and all and pays for the cleaning and pays for all of that. So the board is elected by the owners and the owners of the condominiums are the ones that are responsible now for the maintenance of the entire building. Three years ago, the owners of the building, the board was told that there was significant structural damage in the foundations of the building. And they were given an estimate of what it would cost to fix it. That estimate would it was it was significantly higher than the amount of money that the condo association actually had on reserve. Most condo associations have reserves to cover kind of regular maintenance issues. So they would have had to have a special assessment. They would basically had gone to every condo there and you would have had to write a ten thousand dollar check or whatever it would have been to the association. They would have pulled all the money and use that money to fix the building. Now, during that same time that I guess this this construction engineer told them that that there was a that there were these foundational problems. The there was also a government inspector. I read this and I, you know, again, I don't know how accurate this is. The government inspector who told them, well, but it's safe for now. Don't worry, it's safe. Now, Sam Seder, during the interview, said to me, they were warned by both the government's inspector and private inspectors that there was structural damage. And I said, if they were worn, why didn't they do anything about it? And if they didn't do anything about it, then aren't they the ones responsible for what happened? And don't you want the people who are making the decision? The owners, they should be at the cost. Right. The cost financial. And if they don't do the action, then they bear the cost. And in this case, tragically in lives. So what happened? You had people who they basically decided not to act, not to act. They decided to not fix the problem. Or they decided to delay and they got into arguments. How much should they pay? Who should do the work? Which condo should pay how much? Now, it's not true that most of the apartments in this condo building will rent us. Most of the people in the condo building own their condos. They were the ones fighting it out. They were the ones disagreeing. They were the ones who delayed fixing the building. So who's responsible? And how do you fix that? Well, I know you fix it by cursing them, forcing them. Or maybe what you could do is the government could pay for fixing the building. And the government could just pay for fixing all buildings. Or maybe you could force them to fix the building. What if what if one of the condos doesn't have the money to pay for it? Well, then you I don't know. You force them into bankruptcy or something. So Sam Saydo and the left's attitude towards this is it just shows that we don't force people to take care of themselves enough. And my attitude is this is this is tragic. It's a consequence of the inaction of the building owners. They paid the price, the ultimate price, as horrific and as sad, as horrible as that is. They paid the price. If there were some renters there who weren't aware of what was happening, it's sad, it's tragic that they died. The fault is on the owners who didn't fix, who didn't do the fixing, who argued and debated instead of acting. But the solution is not government. The solution is for all of us to learn the lesson. If somebody tells you there's a problem with your building, it's structural. And it might, you know, then do something about act, fix it. Don't put yourself into a position where you will die.  Nobody wants the renters to die. So there's a lesson learned here and the lesson learned here. Don't procrastinate about things that are crucial to life. Don't procrastinate about your health. When a doctor tells you you have to do XYZ, don't procrastinate about any aspect of your life. Make the most of it. And to do that, you have to act. And so the people who died for the most part, again, there were children there. They were innocent completely. But you know what? Children suffer the consequences of the bad behavior of their parents. And most of the people who died are owners who participated in this debacle, who are part of the problem in a sense that they didn't solve the structural issue. They didn't commit to paying the money that they needed to do it. I don't know why that's so controversial. And the solution is not more government regulation. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broods.
