Today we are starting part five on our reading of the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. If this is the first time you're stumbling upon this video, I suggest that you go back and watch part one through four or listen to part one through four before carrying on with this section of the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. And as always, I highly suggest that you go over and watch our episodes on The Dark Outpost on Tuesday night. If you have not watched those episodes, there is a link down in the description box below. This reading on this Wednesday is a Cliff Notes version of what we talked about on The Dark Outpost between David Zublik and myself when we broke down this section of the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. So if you are somebody that enjoys commentary and wants to hear more commentary than what I will be providing in this reading, then please go over to thedarkoutpost.com. The Gospel of the Holy Twelve, section eight, elections 71 through 80. Election 71, the cleansing of the temple, and the Jews' Passover was at hand. And Jesus went up again from Bethany into Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and chargers of money sitting. And he made a scourge of seven cords and he drove them out of the temple and loosened the sheep and the oxen and the doves and poured out the chargers money and overthrew the tables. So a scourge of seven cords is a whip. So he was whipping at the humans to get out of the temple and then he went and freed all of the animals that were there. Verse three says, And he said unto them, Take these things hence, Make not my father's house a house of merchandise. Is it not written? My house is a house of prayer for all nations. But ye have made it a den of thieves and filled it with all manners of abominations. And again, if you have been following along with this Gospel, you know that throughout this Gospel, Jesus commands us to take care of the animals. He tells us that we should not be eating meat. He also refers to the animals as our brothers and sisters. As I've said many times, something that was very powerful in this Gospel to read was reminding us that the animals breathe the same air that we breathe, that God created the animals with such detail and finery in the manner in which he also created humans. Verse four says, And he would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel of blood through the temple or that any animals should be slain. And the disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thine health hath eaten me up. So once again, we see here that Jesus was not just upset about the merchants, but he was also upset that animals and innocent blood was being sacrificed and shed in his temple, the temple of God. We know the story of Jesus being upset about the merchants in the temple, but the early Christian church, as in Constantine's Council of Nicaea, removed this part of the story. And my question is why? Why did Constantine, the Emperor Constantine, find it necessary to remove the information about animal sacrifice? Something interesting to ponder. Verse five says, Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou dost these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Again I say unto you, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rise it up. Then said the Jews, 40 and 60 years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rare it up in three days. But Jesus spake of the temple of his body. So yes, he is talking about his pending crucifixion where he would be gone for three days and then he would rise himself up from the dead. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said unto them and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said. What's it our favorite military back channel says? Sometimes you have to show the people, you can't just tell them. And that is definitely very apparent here in this gospel. In this gospel we have seen countless miracles, way more miracles, accounted in this gospel than in our canonized Bible. And it's also saying that when Jesus rises again from the dead that will be showing them, not just telling them. Seeing is believing right? Verse 8 says, But the scribes and the priests saw and heard and were astonished and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him, seeing that all the people were attentive to his doctrine. So again throughout this gospel we have seen that power struggle between the rabbis and the scribes and the Pharisees and Jesus. And when even one was calm he went out of the city, for by day he taught in the temple and at night he went out in a boat on the mount of olives. And people came early in the morning to hear him in the temple courts. Verse 10 says, Now when he was in Jerusalem, a Passover, many believed in his name, and when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them because he knew all men. He needed not that any should testify of man, for he knew that what was in man. And Jesus seeing the Passover night was at hand sent two of his disciples, that they should prepare the upper room where he desired to eat with his twelve and buy such things as were needed for the feast which he purposed thereafter. Lecture 72, the many mansions in the one house. And Jesus sat with his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane and he said unto them, Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my parent's house are many mansions.   That where I am there ye may also be. And whether I go, ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas said unto him, Lord we know not whether thou goest. And he can we know the way. Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh upon the all parent, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my parent also. And from henceforth, ye know, and have seen my parent. Philip said unto him, Lord show us the all parent, and it suffereth us. Jesus said unto him, If have I been so long time with you, and ye hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me, hath seen the all parent. And how sayest thou, show us the all parent? Believeest thou not, that I am the all parent, and the all parent is in me. The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself, but the all parent, who dwelleth in me, and doeth the work. So if you guys remember from last week, we see that the rabbis and the Pharisees and the scribes got really upset because they accused Jesus of saying that he was equal to God. And Jesus corrected them and said, I never said I was equal to God. I'm telling you, I am one with God. And we see him repeating that here when he is talking to Philip, saying that the Father God, the all parent source, is within me. God is within me. And in Eastern philosophy, especially in like yoga, that's a sense of what we call Samadhi, where you become, eventually become one with the Creator, one with God. That's the goal of our soul's existence, which we know our soul never dies, is to become one back with our own parent, which is God. Verse four goes on to say, Believe me that I am in the all parent and the all parent and me, or else believe me of every work's sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, they who believe on me, the works that I do shall they also do. And greater works than these shall they do, because I go unto my parents. There's a similar verse to that in the book of John, I believe, where they talk, he says, you go on to do greater works than me. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the all parent may be glorified in the son and daughter of man. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the all parent, who shall give you another comforter to abide with you forever? Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it's seeeth not, neither knoweth, but ye know, for the Spirit dwelleth in you, and shall be in you. They who have my commandments and keep them, these are they who love me. They that love me shall be loved by my parent, and I will love them, and will manifest myself to them. Judith saith unto him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, if any love me, they will keep my word, and the Holy One will love them, and we will come unto them and make our abode with them. They that love me, not keeping, not my sayings, and the world which ye hear is not mine, but the all parents who sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the comforter, who is my mother, holy wisdom, whom the Father will send in my name, she shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you.  Give I unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  If you love me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the all parent, for the all parent is greater than I. And now I have told you before come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye may believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world cometh, and have nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the all parent, and the all parent gave me commandment, even so I do, even unto the end. Election 73, the true vine. Verse 1, After these things Jesus spake, saying unto them, I am the true vine, and my parent is the vine dresser. Every branch in me beareth not fruit is taken away, and every branch that beareth fruit is purged, that it may bring forth more fruit. Abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it able in the vine. No more can ye except ye abide in me. I am the tree, and you are the branches. Whoso abide in me and I in them, the same bring forth much fruit, for without me ye do nothing. If any abide not in me, they are cast forth as useless branches, and they wither away, and men gather them, and then cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me in my words, abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it will be done unto you. So basically, if you have a true heart, you are going to be shown the answers to your questions. That's what I get from that. It's like in the Bible it says, knock on the door, shall be open unto you, ask, and ye shall receive.  It's not going to happen, but if you are true in heart, and you seek the mysteries of God, then they will be revealed unto you. Verse 4, Verily I am the true bread, which cometh down out of heaven, even the substance of God, which is one with the life of God. And as many grains are in one bread, so are ye who believe, and do the will of my parent, not one in me.  As the wheat is separated from the chaff, so much ye be separated from the falsities of the world. Ye must not go out of the world, but live separately in the world for the life of the world. Now we can see verse 5 in two different ways. We spoke earlier on the Dark Outpost about the Essenes. And for those who are not familiar with the Essenes, I do have some videos on the Essenes, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were a group of Jewish people who lived at the same time with the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and they lived in an area called Kumran. And Kumran is where we found our Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1940s. The Essenes were the people who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is believed that Jesus himself was an Essen, along with John the Baptist and some of Jesus's other biological family members. The Essenes separated themselves from the world. They kind of lived in what we would consider maybe a commune, even though I don't think they were perhaps as toxic as some communes have proven to be in our modern times. And the Essenes very much separated themselves from everybody else. They kind of had their own little community where they were totally focused on writing down prophecies, writing down scribes. They really were seeking the coming of the Messiah. After the Messiah came, they were seeking and excited about the second coming of the Messiah. We have talked about the War Scroll, which is an incredible scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls that should have been placed before the Book of Revelation. And if you read the War Scroll, and you study the War Scroll, the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible reads very, very differently. This is also talking about the fact in our modern times, which Jesus would have known this, the disciples would not have, but Jesus would have known that we were going to have to live within our world. We have to live within the world, the materialistic world, the dominion of Lucifer, if you will, and exist here. But our souls are separate. We have to know that we are separate from the world in which we live in. And I think that's very easy to see nowadays in what is going on in the world. So we're going to go on with verse six, Verily, verily, the weed is parched by fire. So must ye my disciplines pass through tribulations, but rejoice ye for having suffered with me as one body ye shall reign with me in one body and give life to the world. Herein is my parent glorify that you bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples, as the all parent hath loved with me, so have I loveeth you. Continue in my love, if ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my parents commandments and abided in the spirit of love. These things I have spoken unto you that my joy might remain in you, that your joy might be full. This is my commandment that ye love one another as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. He are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you, so that again we recognize that from the Bible. Hits forth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what the Lord doeth, but I have called you my friends. For all things that I have heard of my parent, I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, and ye shall remain, that whoever ye shall seek, ask of the all parent in my name, ye shall receive. It's kind of like when they say God doesn't pick the prepared, he prepares the picked.  These things I command you, that ye love one another and all the creatures of God.  If you are of the world, the world will love you its own, but because you are not of the world, I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateeth you. Verse 11 says, remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my sayings, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin, but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hateeth me, hateeth my parent also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin, but now they have, and have seen and hated both me and my parent. But this cometh to pass, and the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law. They hated me without cause. But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the all-parent, even the spirit of truth, which precedeth from the father and the mother, the same shall testify of me, and ye shall also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. Election 74, Jesus for teleth persecutions. Verse 1, These things have I spoken unto you, that ye shall be forewarned. They shall put you out of the synagogues. Ye the time cometh, that whoever killeth you will think that they do God's service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the all-parent nor me. But these things I have told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.  But now I go my way to my parent that sent me. And none of you asketh me whether thou go.  Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For I go not away. The comforter will not come unto you.  And when the spirit is come, the word shall be reproved of sin and righteousness and judgment. Of sin, because they believe not in me of righteousness, because I go to my father. And ye see me know more of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. How bight when the spirit of truth is come, she will guide you into all truth. And the same will show you things to come, and shall glorify me. For the same shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that my parent hath are mine, therefore said I, that the comforter shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see me again. And a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the out-parent. Then said one of his disciples among themselves, What is it he hath said unto you? A little while, and ye shall not see me. And again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the out-parent. Verse seven says, Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do you inquire among yourselves, for that I said a little while, and ye shall see me?  Verse eight says, A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is calm, but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more of the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world, and ye now therefore have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And the day ye shall ask me nothing, verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask my parent in my name, ye will receive. Hitherto, have you asked nothing in my name, ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things that I have spoken unto you in proverbs, but the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in the mystery, but I shall show you plainly of the all-parent. At that day ye shall ask in my name, and I say, not unto you, that I will pray my parent for you, for the all-parent in truth loveth you, because he hath loveth me, and hath believeth that I come out from God. I came forth from God, and I come into the world again, I leave the world, and I go unto my God. His disciples said unto him, lo, now speakest thou plainly and speakest no mystery. Now we are sure that thou knowest all things, and needeth not that any man should ask thee. For this we believe that thou cometh forth from God. Jesus answered them, do ye now believe? Behold the hour cometh, ye is now come, and ye shall be scattered every man to his own home, and shall leave me alone, and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace, and in the world you might have tribulations, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the word, arise, let's go hence. Election 75 is the last paschal supper, so this is referring to Passover, verse 1. And at the evening the master cometh into the house, and there are gathered with him the twelve and their fellows Peter and Jacob and Thomas and John and Simon and Matthew and Andrew and Nathaniel and James and Thaddeus and Jude and Philip and their companions. And there was also Judas Iscariot, who by men was numbered with the twelve till the time when he should be manifested. So going back it talks about all the disciples having their companions, which are their wives, which we have spoken about in other episodes on the Dark Outpost, especially with the Acts of Philip. We don't really see their wives that much mentioned in the Canaanites Bible, but the wives of the disciples are spoken about a lot in the missing Gospels. Very interesting, right? I wonder why the Council of Nicaea, the 300s and the 4th century, why they were so eager to get rid of the characters of the wives of the disciples. Verse 2.  And there arose contention among them as to which of them should be esteemed the greatest. Wherefore he said unto him, he that is my greatest among you, let him as he doth serve. And Jesus said, with desire have I desire to eat this pass over with you before I suffer, and to institute the memorial of my oblation for the services and salvation of all, for behold the hour cometh when the Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. And one of the twelve said unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered, he to whom I give the sop, the same as he. And a scarier said unto him, Master, behold the unleavened bread and the mingled wine and the oil and the herbs. But where is the lamb that Moses commanded? For Judas had bought the lamb, but Jesus had forbade that it should be killed. And John spake in the spirit, saying, behold the lamb of God, the good shepherd, which giveth his life for the sheep. And Judas was troubled at these words, for he knew that he should betray him. But again, Judas said, Master, is it not written in the law that land must be slain for Passover within the gates? And Jesus answered, if I am lifted up on the cross, then indeed shall the lamb be slain. But woe unto him by whom it is delivered into the hands of the slayers. It was better for him that he not been born. So that's interesting, you know, the laws of Moses said that a Passover a lamb shall be slain or killed to be eaten. And I know at Easter we lamb is a meat that is eaten a lot at Easter. But Jesus is saying, no, no, no, do not eat an actual lamb. That's figurative because I am the lamb. I am the lamb that will be sacrificed. Very interesting. 1st 9 says, verily, verily, I say unto you, for this end I have come into the world that I may put away all blood offerings and the eating of flesh of the beast and the birds that are slain by men. So he's saying, do not eat meat anymore. Done. No more eating of the animals. And we have seen this repetitively throughout the whole gospel. He has been very strict about that, that if you were to follow Christ, if you were to follow God, then you should refrain from eating meat because the animals are also loved by God and are given life by God. 1st number 10 says, in the beginning, God gave to all the fruits of the trees and the seeds and the herbs for food. But those who loved themselves more than God to their fellows corrupted their ways and brought diseases into their bodies and filled the earth with lust and violence. So again, God gave us fruit and herbs to eat, but we are filled with lust and violence, and that's why we eat meat. Not by shedding innocent blood, therefore, but by living a righteous life shall he find the peace of God. He shall call me the Christ of God, and ye shall say, well, for I am the way, the truth and the light. Walk ye in the way, and ye shall find God. Seek ye the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Live in the life, and ye shall see no death. All things are alive in God, and the Spirit of God filleth all things. Keep ye the commandments. Love thy God with all thy heart, and love thy neighbor as thyself. On these hang all the law and the prophets, and the sum of this law is this. Do not ye unto others as ye would not that others do unto you. Do ye unto others as ye would that others should do unto you. Verse 14 said, Blessed are they who keep this law, for God is manifested in all creatures. All creatures live in God, and God is hid in them. After these things, Jesus dipped the sop and gave it to Judas Iscariot saying, What thou doest do it quickly? And then having received the sop, went out and immediately, and it was light. And when Judas Iscariot had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified among his twelve. And God is glorified in him, and verily I say unto you, They who receive you receive me, and they who receive me receive the Father, Mother who sent me.  And one said unto him, Lord wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom unto Israel? And Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. Neither are all Israel, which are called Israel. They are in every nation, who defile not themselves with cruelty, who do righteousness love mercy, and reverence all the works of God, who give succular to the weak and oppressed, the same are the Israel of God. So again, we've seen that many times throughout this gospel that Israel, when God refers to Israel or Jesus refers to Israel, he's not talking about the actual land, the actual country. He's talking about his people make up Israel. And his people aren't just going to be Jewish people, as we now know, as he has said, they're also going to be Gentiles. And Gentiles are anybody who's not Jewish. I'm a Gentile. I'm a white girl. So I'm a Gentile. And we know that the Christian faith has spread heavily throughout the Gentile world. Election 76, the washing of the feet, new commandment, the Eucharist oblation. The Passover supper ended, the lights were kindled for it was even, Jesus arose from the table and laid aside his garment and girded himself with a towel, pouring water into the basin, wash the feet of each of his four twelve, and wipe them with a towel in which he was girded. And one of them said, Lord, thou shall not wash my feet. And Jesus said, if I wash thee, not thou hast no part with me. And he answered, Lord, wash not my feet only, but my head and my hands. And he said unto them, they who have come out of the bath, need not but to wash their feet. They are very clean in wit. Verse four says, And then putting on the overgarment of pure white linen without spot or seam, he sat at the table and said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you, ye call me Lord a master.  For I have given this example that I have done unto you, so also should ye do unto others. A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another and all creatures of God. Love is fulfilling of the law. Love is of God and God is love. Whoso loveth not, knoweth not God. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. By this shall all men know that they are my disciples. And if ye have loved one to another and shown mercy and love to all creatures of God, especially to those that are weak and oppressed and suffering wrong. For the whole earth is filled with dark places of cruelty, and with pain and sorrow by the selfishness and ignorance of man.  And again I say unto you, love one another and all creatures of God. And we had finished, they said, blessed be God. Then he lifted his voice, and they joined him, saying, as the heart paneth after the water brooks so paneth my soul after thee, O God.  So the frankincense, since that was brought to him at his birth from the three wise men that his mother gave him later on in his life, he's now using. That's interesting. It's like coming full cycle, full cycle, right? Verse nine says, then Jesus placed before him the platter, and behind it the chalice, and lifting up his eyes to the heaven, gave thanks for the goodness of God and all things, and unto all. And after that he took in his hands the unleavened bread and blessed it, the wine likewise mingled with water and blessed it, chanting the invocation of the holy name, the sevenfold, calling upon thrice, the holy father mother in heaven, to send down the holy spirit and make the bread be his body, even the body of Christ and the fruit of the vine of his blood, even the blood of Christ, for the remission of sins and everlasting life to all who obey the gospel. So this is the first communion that we're watching or we're reading. In our mind's eye, we're watching it, but we're reading the words. Verse 10 said, then lifting up the oblation towards the heaven, he said, the son who is also the daughter of man is lifted up from the earth, and I shall draw all men unto me, then it shall be known of the people that I am sent from God. These things done, Jesus spake these words, lifting his eyes to the heavens, abba amma, the hours come, glorify thy son, and thy son may be glorified in thee. Ye thou hast glorified me, thou hast filled my heart with fire, thou hast set lamps on my right hand and on my left hand, so that no part of my being should be without light. Thy love shineth on my right hand and on my left, so that no part of my being should be without light. Thy love is shineth on my right hand, thy wisdom on my left hand, thy love, thy wisdom, thy power are manifested in me. I have glorified thee on earth, I have finished the work thou gavest me to do. Holy One, keep through thy name the twelve and their fellows whom I, thou hast given me, that they may be one even as we are one. Whilst I was in them, in the world, I kept them in thy name, and none of them is lost. For he who went from us was not one of us. Nevertheless, I pray for him that he may be restored. Father, mother, forgive him, for he knoweth not what he doeth. So he's talking about Judas. And now, come I to thee, that these things I speak in the world, they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I give them thy word and the world hath them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray that thou shalt take them out of the world, but that thou shalt keepest them from evil, while ye yet they in the world. Sanctify them through thine truth, thy word is truth, and thou sendeth me into the world. So also I send them into the world, and for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified through truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for all that should be added to their number, and for the two in seventy, also whom I sent forth, ye for all that shall believe in the truth through thy word, for they also may be one to thy holy art in me and I in thee. That they may also be one in thee, and that the world may know that thou hast seen me, holy parent, I will also that thy whom thou givest me, ye all who live be with me where I am, that they may partake of the glory with thou givest me, for thou lovest me in all and all in men from before the foundation of the world. The world hath not known that thee and thy righteousness, but I know thee, and these know that thou hast sent me. For I have declared unto them thy name, that the love wherefore thou hast loved me may be in them, and that from them it may abound even unto thy creatures, ye even unto these worlds being ended, they all lifted up their voices with him and prayed, and he told them saying, Our Father, Mother, who art above and within, hallowed be thy sacred name, in trinity, in wisdom, love, and equity, thy kingdom come to all, thy holy will be done, always as in heaven, so on earth, give us day by day, do partake of thy holy bread, and the fruits of thy living vine. As we seek to perfect others, so perfect us in thy Christ, show upon us thy goodness, to that others we may show the same, in the hour of trial, deliver us from evil. For thine are the kingdom, the power, and the glory, from the ages of ages, now into the ages of ages, amen. Then our master hath taken the holy bread and breaketh it, and the fruit of the vine also, and mingled it, and having blessed it, and hallowed both, and casting a fragment of bread into the cup, he blessed the holy union, so again, communion. And then he giveth the bread, which he had hallowed to his disciples, saying, E-E, for this is my body, even the body of Christ, which is given for the salvation of the body and the soul. Likewise, he giveth unto them the fruit of the vine, which he had the blessed, saying unto them, Drink ye, for this is my blood, even the blood of Christ, which is shed for you, and for many, for the salvation of the soul and the body. And when all had partaken, he said unto them, As oft as ye assembled together in my name, make this ablation for the memorial of me. Even the bread of everlasting life, and the wine of eternal salvation, and eat and drink, thereof, with a pure heart, and ye shall receive the substance and the life of God, which dwelleth and me. When they had sung a hymn, Jesus stood up in the midst of the apostles, and going to him, who was in the center in the solemn dance, they rejoiced in him. And then he went out of the mountain of olives, and his disciples followed. Now, Judith's Ascariot had gone to the house and said unto him, Behold, he hath celebrated Passover within the gates with the maza in the place of the Lamb. I indeed brought a Lamb, but he forbade it that it should be killed, and lo, man of whom I brought, it is witness. Verse 28 says, And Caiaphas rent his clothes and said, Truly this Passover of the law of Moses, he hath done the deed which is worthy of death, for it is a weighty transgression of the law. What need of further witness ye even now, two robbers have broken into the temple and stole in the books of the law. And this is the end of his teaching. Let us tell these things to the people who follow him, for they will fear the authority of the law. And one that was standing by Judas came out and said unto him, Thinkest thou that they will put him to death? And Judas said, Nay, for he will do some mighty work to deliver himself out of their hands. Even as when they were in the synagogues and rose up against him and brought him to the brow of the hill, that they might throw him down headlong, and he did not pass safely through their midst, he will surely escape them now also and proclaim himself openly instead of the kingdom whereof he spake. So even though Judas betrayed Jesus, seems like he kind of assumed that Jesus would get himself out of this next little situation, although we know that this next situation was the crucifixion. Election 70, 70, Agony in the Garden, verse 1. And as they went to the mount of all of Jesus said unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I'm risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Simon answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, Behold Satan hath desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for thee, thy faith will not fail, and when thou art converted, strengthening thy brotherhood. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both unto prison and unto death.  So that's Peter, Simon Peter, that will deny three times knowing, knowing God. Verse 4 says, Then cometh Jesus with them, Having crossed the brook unto the garden, called Gethsemane, And sayeth unto his disciples, Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder. Judas, also which betrayed him, knew the place, for Jesus often time resorted thither with his disciples. Then sayeth unto him, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death, tarry ye here and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell in his face, and prayed, saying, O my father, mother, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. And there appeared an angel unto him, from heaven, strengthening him. And he cometh unto the disciples, finding them asleep, sayeth unto Peter, What keep ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again a second time around, and prayed, O my father, mother, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thine will be done. And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were, great drops of blood falling to the ground. And he came and fell them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. And he left them and went away again, and prayed a third time, saying, O my father, mother, not my will, but thine be done in the earth as it is in heaven. Then cometh he unto his disciples, and sayeth unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. Election 78, The Betrayal by Judas Ascariot, verse 1. And it came to pass, while Jesus yet spake, behold, there came a multitude. And Judas, the one that was called Ascariot, went before them. For Judas, having received abandonment in officers, from the chief priest, and the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus, therefore, knowing all these things that should come to pass upon him, went forth and said unto them, Who seek ye? They answered, Jesus of Nazareth, and Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And as soon as he said unto them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground. When they arose, they asked he again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. And Jesus answered, I have told you, I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way. Now he that betrayeth him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus and said, Hail, Master, and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore out thou come? Is it with a kiss that thou betrayest the Son of Man? Then Jesus said unto the chief priests and the captains of the temples and the elders, which were come to him, why ye come out as again a thief with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple ye stretched forth no hands against me, but this is your hour in the power of darkness. Then came they and laid hands on Jesus. And Simon Peter stretched forth his hand and drew his sword and struck a servant of the high priest and smote off his ear.  Then said Jesus unto him, put away again thy sword into its place, all they take at the sword shall perish by the sword. And Jesus touched his ear and healed him. So even in the stressful situation, Jesus literally put the ear back on the person. I don't think that's actually in the canonized Bible. Interesting. You'll have to let me know in the comments below. And he said unto Peter, Thinkest thou that I can now pray to my parent, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? And how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? Then all the disciples forsook him and fled. Now the high priest was he who gave counsel to the Jews that it was expedient, that one man should die for the sins of the people. And the scribes and the elders were assembled together. But Peter, John and Simon and Jude followed far off unto the high priest's palace, and they went in and sat with the servants to see the end. And they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall. And when they were set down together, Peter sat down among them and warmed himself. And Simon also sat by him. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire and earnestly looked upon him and said, This man was also with him. And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little while another saw him and said, Thou art also of them. And Simon said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour, another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth, for his speech betrayed him. And Simon denied the third time with an oath saying, I know that, not that man.   And Simon went out and wept bitterly. Election 79, the Hebrew trial. The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and his doctrine saying, How are how old are thou? Art thou that said that our father Abraham saw thy day? And Jesus answered verily before Abraham was I am. And the high priest said, Thou art not yet 50 years old. How sayest thou that hast seen Abraham? Who art thou? Who makest thou thyself to be? What dost thou teach? And Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world. I even taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whether the Jews always resort. And in secret, I have said nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me, and I have said unto them, Behold, they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which should buy struck Jesus with the palm of his hand saying, Answer thou the high priest. So Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil. But if well, why smiteest thou me? Now the chief priests and elders and all the counsel sought fault witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, but found none. Yay, many fault witnesses came, yet they agreed not together. At the last came the two false witnesses. And one of them said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days. And the other said, This man said, I will destroy his temple and build up another. And the high priest arose and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witnesses speak against thee? But Jesus held his peace. Now it was unlawful among the Hebrews to try a man by night. And they said unto him, Art thou the Christ tell us?  And if I also ask you, ye will not answer nor let me go. And they asked him further, saying, Thus thou abolish the sacrifice of law and the eating of flesh as Moses commanded. And he answered, Behold, a greater than Moses is here. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, and that tell us whether thou be Christ the Son of God.  Then the high priest read his clothes saying, He hath spoken blasphemy. What further need we of witness? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death. When did they spit in the face and buffered him?  Now when morning was all come, the chief priest and the elders of the people, even the whole council held a constellation and took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they gave forth their sentence against Jesus, and he was worthy of death. And that he should be bound and carried away and delivered unto Pilate. This brings us to Lection 80, which is the last lecture of our reading today. And this is the penance of Judas. Verse one says, Now Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priest's elders, saying, I have sinned in what I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went out and hanged himself. And the chief priest took the pieces of silver and said, it is not lawful for to put them in a treasury because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel and brought with them the potter's feel to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field, that it is the field of blood unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Zachariah, the prophet saying, They weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver and they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they, the children of Israel, did value and gave them for the potter's field and cast them to the potter and the house of the Lord. Now Jesus had said to his disciples, Woe unto the man who receiveth the mysteries and falleth into sin thereafter. For such there is no place of repentance in this cycle. Seeing they have crucified afresh the divine offspring of God and man and put the Christ within them to open shame.  That which befalleth the beast befalleth the sons of man. That's interesting. So killing and sacrificing beasts will also fall upon man. Also the eating of of beast of animals will fall upon man. And we know a lot about that nowadays. Apparently that's part of a particular our religion that our elite tend to practice. So that's interesting. That's telling us that in this gospel. Verse nine says all live by one breath as the one dieth so dieth the other so that a man hath no premonace over a beast for all go to the same place all come from the dust and return to the dust together. These things spake Jesus concerning them which were not regenerated not having received the spirit of divine love who once received the light crucified the son of God afresh putting him to open shame. And that's where we're going to leave it for today. Again please please please join us on the dark outpost if you want to hear way more commentary and more discussion over this fantastic gospel.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week and I will talk to you soon. Bye


Day two is we're winding down two days of wall-to-wall coverage. Red Hat Summit 2023 in Boston. I'm John Furrier, Rob Stretcher. He's breaking down all the analysis. We're getting into a lot of the business value, business transformation. Digital transformation really is business transformation. Got two great guests here. We're going to break that down and unpack that with us. Rob Buchanan, Principal Solutions Architect at AWS. Working with Accenture Business Group, part of that team that services the large global system integrator. They're doing great work. And David Rojas, Red Hat's Global Alliance Executive. Gentlemen, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having us. It's been wonderful. We know you both, you guys, companies really well. AWS, obviously, and Accenture and Red Hat. It's just the explosion of next-gen cloud. It's just been amazing. Love hybrid, how it's emerged. Cloud-native, KubeCon sold out in Europe, expecting a big sell-out for cloud-native in there. Open Source, you guys were present at both events at AWS, and you guys are obviously a big sponsor of theCUBE there, so we appreciate that. Talk about the relationship with Red Hat and Amazon, how you guys are coming together with Accenture, because the business value now is, you can see the Lego blocks snapping together, and companies are starting to get it on the mainstream. When you see Ansible on the front page of the show here, you're seeing automation, that's not obvious. So you're seeing the minds, kind of the dots connecting in mainstream enterprise. What's the business situation now with cloud? How are you guys working together? Talk about the relationship. It's a great question. I'll start off by saying that, you know, I remember reading recently somewhere where like 64% of cloud migrations customers failed, a little like, we're getting value, but we're not getting everything we can get out of it, right? And it makes me think, it's like a sports team, right? If you have the right teammates, you'll succeed. If you don't, you'll succeed, but not as much, right? You need the right players involved, and we really believe in the partnership, you know, the power of the three, right? AWS Accenture and Red Hat, and how we work together. So the ability for each one, their kind of own domain expertise that comes in, AWS obviously has the cloud platform, tons of cloud native services, integrations with our products, working closely with us and our developments used to build out those products. Accenture, a given, right? They have global expertise and how to implement, how to get these things out. And like you mentioned earlier, more importantly, it's not just getting out the technical solution, but the business value impact to those customers and to their customers, customers as well. And of course, Red Hat, we bring the open hybrid cloud story that kind of ties it all together. And yeah, Rose, we're going to dig in to Rob. Talk about Amazon because AWS, you know, just the amount of services, high level services that's been released over the past, just say six years have been credible. Remember when SageMaker was launched and then just kept getting better and better and still get the S3 and EC2, all that good stuff. Accenture took advantage of it. And they're building on top of AWS. They have their own stuff. They have their own staff. They have their everything. You know, that's great. Again, great question. We have over 300 services now. And when we start thinking about what AWS really brings to the table, it's bringing scale, agility and flexibility and enabling Accenture using products like Red Hat, using products like Rosa, right, to help those customers accelerate their cloud journey from on-prem into the cloud. So if you think about, I'm using, you know, today if I'm using, for instance, OpenShift container platform on-prem and I want to make a change, I want to move into the cloud quickly. You know, if I'm trying to do that on another service, it's really challenging. If I'm using Rosa though, I can very quickly spin up a cluster. I can set the scalability. I can have several different types of pricing options, right, but the bigger point is, I have an actual API platform, right, that aligns to what they're used to working with. I have all of my development tool chain I can make use of and really I'm only worried about is refactoring the data source, not the entire application stack. So I think that's pretty important. It's super important. In fact, we had a customer, a joint customer on earlier today and what they were doing, actually bank out of Argentina and they were using cloud as a place where they do, they build some models, AI models on-prem and then they were using actually the cloud. They're bursting up using Rosa to go and train the models and then bring those models back on-prem. And I think- Yeah, like a bank. Yes, it was, yeah. And it was just a great thing. Are you seeing a lot of that? Is that like kind of a canary in the coal mine the light at the end of the tunnel kind of thing where people are heading towards that kind of use case for Rosa? Absolutely. That's a fantastic use case. It really is. And we do see it a lot in the field. Customers are looking for solutions that are multi-cloud, they're hybrid cloud. They're looking to make sure they can do certain things. And not just on-prem and in the cloud, also all the way down to the edge, right? And we have to be able to be flexible with those workloads around. We had a session earlier today on Sovereign Cloud, right? And the ability to move something. I mean, look at the war that's going on in Europe right now. Explain that Sovereign Cloud issue. That's huge. So that is, yeah, that's a big one. And that's something where, you know, we work with Accenture, the presentations between Accenture and Red Hat. And we really brought out the fact that in Europe now it's regulation. It's not a matter of whether we think this is a risk or not. They have to have the ability to bail out these very secure Sovereign Clouds. And then more importantly, move them in an instant. For example, like the war that's happening in Ukraine. I was talking to Tenuja Randers. She's an EMIA managing director for AWS. Sovereign Cloud is the number one issue in Europe right now. And what's happening is it's enabling a new channel of partners for AWS and the stakeholders. So you're starting to see Accenture being like its own thing on top of AWS when before cloud, they would, you know, be a service provider, right? Okay, integrator. Now they're a cloud. You know, that's Accenture Cloud, I'm concerned. Yeah, absolutely. Well, again, it's kind of what we view it as the power of three, right? We've got a fantastic partner with Accenture. We've got great products with Red Hat. And we've got scale with AWS, right? So kind of back to the question around, are you seeing a lot of AI models being brought up into the cloud train and then pushed back down whether they're going to go on the edge or they're going to run them in-house because they feel they have some really highly secure data and they just don't want to let it go. We are seeing that. The reason why you see that is because it is quick to scale up to a massive amount of CPU, GPU capability, right? Or take advantage of potentially some custom silicone offerings, right? To train those models, get them done very quickly. Instead of taking 60, 90 days to train these models, get them done 14, 15 days. Pull back down the train model and then make use of it, right? That is absolutely a use case and that's where you start to see really the power of the cloud and you start seeing that agility flexibility. But it also really shows the power of being able to use OpenShift and ROSA, right? Where we can move these workloads without having to refactor everything, right? And get advantage, take advantage of all the other services we have available on platform. And that's where we get excited too because we can utilize from OpenShift, from ROSA directly, seamless interaction with all the cloud native services that AWS offers. What's the benefit of that for the customers? Is it time? Is it cost? I think it's both. Both, yeah. It's both. If you think about it, one of the biggest time sinks, right, is I'm having to retrain my people how to use the technology, even a stack that you're used to using on cloud platform, right? With ROSA we're trying to keep things very similar, right? Again, same deployment tool change, right? You have an easy console and or CLI to make use of to spend things up. And really just kind of run with it and make use of it. We want it to be familiar and easy, right? For our customers to make use of. Simple to scale up, simple to operate. Yeah, and it helps beyond just the implementation itself. You're human capital, right? Training, upskilling your folks. You don't have to. People are used to AWS, they're used to using the console. Doesn't change anything when you use OpenShift. You know what I think it's interesting is that, you know, as we have all these communities, we get a lot of data. You can get a little horizontal scalable observation data space, as you will. This is like an open source, like when? Because out of an open source, Red Hat's made their money from letting it grow and grow, but making sure it's stable. Yeah. That's a huge thing, right? People sometimes underestimate the value of stability. I mean, essentially has to worry about tier one customers, they got security concerns, they got operational day two, day one and day two operations. It just seems like with AI, there's like so much more pressure on the ops, because there's hype behind it, but there's some legit use cases that are compelling. And so what are you guys seeing with customers as you guys together work on business transformation when you go back a year, go six months, the business conversation around AI was zero, okay? It was digital transformation, but even Adam Sileski was saying business transformation at re-invent. And he did tease out LLMs in my interview with him, but it was just like a small little data point. The surge started in January with ChatGPT, which woke up the whole world. What's that doing for operation pressure for you guys when you see, because it's trickling down into KubeCon conversations, where these are infrastructure folks, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we get one of these locked down, stable, secure. So the security, let it run, let it saute, let it bake, but accelerate, but whoa, guardrails. What do you guys see? Well, one of the biggest factors I see is around governance, right? Data ownership, right? And then we start talking about those guardrails, right, with MLops. The way we view it, right, is if you're going to run those models, you're going to run them on your accounts, in your environments, right? You own the data, you own the benefits of what you're doing, even if they're foundational models, you're just adding additional, transitive learning to it, right? You should own that, you should make use of that, you should get the benefit of that. And again, when we're thinking about some of the services we can run with Red Hat on AWS, right? We're following that same standard AWS data policy, if you want to think about that way, right? We have that shared responsibility model, we also believe our customers own their data. It's not ours, it's theirs, we don't touch it, they have it, they take full advantage of it. It's not always the same with some of our competitors, right, we're taking a little different approach, you know, with our products and our services. But at the end of the day, the biggest challenges to AIML is not, you know, what are we going to do with AIML? You know, what are those use cases we're going to solve? No, we've been thinking about this for 20 years, right? Or longer. The biggest challenge is how are people going to govern AIML in their environment, in their ecosystem, and what is their operation model going to change to? I think that's interesting. Well, that brings up the next quote, by the way, I agree with you, by the way. The chaos that's behind that is, in a good way is, once you've realized that's the situation, then you go, wait a minute, is my architecture properly laid out? Because you've got Silicon and Cloud, okay, get that. Now the question is, is the foundation models operations before the foundation models, and is the tooling layer below that? So like, it starts to get into a solution, architect conversation, where how do you lay it out? And is it on-prem or is it in the cloud? I'll give you my obvious answer, you know? It's in the cloud, and the reason why it's in the cloud is because we can do it very quickly at scale, right? With very few limits in terms of how much we can get moving to train these models. We provide additional options, right? We don't just have one model we can throw at you, right? We have multiple large language models. We have multiple partners in that ecosystem, right? We're working with to deliver those large language models. But at the end of the day, we're really focused on, again, governance, security, guardrails, right? Making sure that your CISO isn't freaking out whenever you say, hey, I want to use those AI models. They're not going, what do you want to use them for? And what's happening in my data?  And just to call out something you mentioned, the data problem that's out there today is proprietary data getting into the proprietary models that are not owned by the company. And which people have been by accident tripping over that issue right now. Correct, it's significant, you know. I'm not going to talk about it for a minute as well, but when we start thinking about how we work with future technology, data is at the center of everything that we do, right? So whether we are building these amazing applications on Rosa or using some of these AWS services with those amazing applications, data is at the center of everything we do and control of the data is that future battle. And the red hat relationship to you guys has been what? Talk about the relationship with AWS. Well, red hat is one of the few partners where we actually have a service that we're offering in partnership with them. You know, with Rosa, again, it's really an amazing service. It allows you to run those open shift clusters very easily, but you know, an AWS customer can get support both from AWS and from red hat for an AWS service that we're running with red hat. We work with red hat on that service, we operate that service with red hat. So from my perspective, we have a very tight relationship and it's pretty special. Awesome. Absolutely. And what's your commentary on what you guys are working on now? I'll see tight. I mean, you got engineer, I see that there. I want to get that out there, but what's next? What are you guys working on now? Can you share any insight to what's in the oven right now? I'll talk a little bit about Rosa, right? Because I think it's important to kind of pull off on that and then I will add more on some of the other items. But with Rosa, I'm a runner, I like to run marathon, whatever, right? There's a start line and a finish line, right? At the finish line, that's unmovable, right? It has to be business impact period, right? But the start line, we can move. And what we've done with AWS and partnership with red hat is built Rosa, which moves that starting line. You don't have to start from building the data center, putting all the components together. We've done that. AWS and red hat has done that together, bit that platform and on day one, folks like Accenture could come in and help you build that business value, work on the applications, modernize those applications. And that's what we're excited about there. So Accenture can see the runners that's fast, that put the start line back here and get the slow folks move the line up a little bit. It gets to the finish first, right? I would rather run a marathon, it's on my bucket list item. My ankles might not be able to handle it. Well, I think it's also really good to point that out though, right? You think about your enterprises, right? Anything they don't want to use goes through a rigorous security check, right? When we're bringing something to them that they've already checked, it's familiar to them. They can very quickly extend that back into their environment and again, offer it back to their teams. Yeah, and I think if I understand it well, is Accenture is also extending into the app building and helping the actual modernization because it's a journey, right? For what people are doing, because having been at AWS myself and understanding that, not every application is built to run on cloud yet. Just lifting and shifting doesn't necessarily always work so well. So there is that modernization.  It's a huge part of what Accenture does and helps our joint customers with, right? For example, there's, I'm going to say simpler things, right? Like you're running an application on RHEL, lift and shift that over to RHEL on AWS. But modernizing the application, you lift and shift, that's not going to work well. You need someone like Accenture to go in there and has the background, has the knowledge and can build that out and take you through that entire journey along with the three-way partnership that we have. And I think that's where the AI will have a real impact is when people realize I can refactor a lot of this heavy lifting. And sometimes it's differentiated and undifferentiated. So, you know, Andy, Jesse's favorite line is, we take away the undifferentiated heavy lifting. Well, now with AI you can do both. You can actually make differentiation automated. Absolutely. That's a good point. For instance, we just released a new service, Amazon Code Whisperer, right? Which will help you do some of that differentiated heavy lifting. Along with, we have migration services. And again, we work with Accenture and Red Hat on these things as well to accelerate converting code into cloud native, things that are supported better by cloud native. Modernizing old code, going through an app modernization cycle. So it's pretty exciting. Guys, we really appreciate you coming on. David, last, give you the last word. Alliance, you guys doing well. Inside the industry ecosystem as well as open source. What's the update? What are you guys looking forward to? What's on your plate? We're excited. We mentioned earlier, Sovereign Cloud, big play for us, right? That we want to work with everyone with. But there's a number of other offerings, including hybrid app modernization, which we also talked about. Things that were worth of Accenture and AWS. And right now we're really working on that journey to the cloud, right? To AWS's cloud and how Accenture and Red Hat can work together to get everyone into the cloud and make sure that they're not part of that 64% that I mentioned, they're part of the 36% that feel very satisfied with what they've done there. And I think those, you see a lot more people leaning into the cloud with AI because I think the pandemic got everyone off guard. If you weren't in the cloud or at least toe in the water, you got washed away. If you were in the cloud, you could leverage it. I think with AI, we're at that moment now for the next year. Who is not leaning in? Might be on the other side of history here. Yes. I agree with that. That would be true. Rob, good to see you. Thanks for coming on. David, thanks for coming. Thank you for having us. Okay, we're on theCUBE here live. Day two as we wind down. Couple more news in our summary. I'm John Furrier, Rob Stretcher. We'll be right back with our next segment after this short break.


Now, following outrage generated by Sylvester O'Rourke's death, management of Doreen College commiserated family has led us to the government's sales school. We will be taking a close look at the terrorism financing as Islamic State in West Africa province moves 18 billion-dollar annual revenue through Nigeria's financial system. And as always, we will look at the day list this morning with an analyst to review them. We're glad to have you join us on the breakfast and plus TV Africa. I am Justin Acadone. And I am Mesibopo. It's a beautiful morning and it's good to have you join us. And as always, we will be starting with what's trending on various social media spaces and of course globally and Nigeria is in the news again as well as all their countries. And specifically, let us start with Nigeria being placed by the UK on the red alert list Nigeria among some other countries.  The US, the UK and some Southeast Asian countries have placed, first of all, it was for South African nations, but now some of them have indeed extended that travel advisory. And right now the UK has placed Nigeria, you know, among the red list countries, specifically even if you have been vaccinated, you know, you cannot be allowed entry into the UK.  And it's really, really horrible. So that's this comparison that's ongoing. And the question is the fact that, first of all, this virus was dictated from South Africa and we cannot actually say where it originated from.  It's actually Africa. And because it was dictated in Botswana, that's in South Africa, it kind of feels like there's somebody language, you know, from the Western world, and it's really, really worrisome. And you see, I feel like the entire continent of Africa, we need to really wake up. First, the dependency, you know, rate is so much we're over dependence on the Western world for almost everything. It's really not good, right? So I think that this high time, because if you want to also look at the vaccine up until this moment, we haven't been able as the continent come together to say, yes, we have looked, you know, we've looked inwards and we're able to solve our problems, you know, by ourselves. Quite unfortunate. The Nigerian government has also faulted, you know, that particular report, faulted. It's saying that those who are coming from the United Kingdom, even from the tests and the reports, find it to a lot of people who are coming from the United Kingdom and the ones who, you know, are carriers of this virus. Is the virus into the country? But how come we had to wait up until this moment to speak? Why didn't we speak all the while? So it's really, really unfortunate.  Yes, indeed. That's something that we should be worried about and what we should, you know, be trying to avoid. You know, so we don't just look like a push of us for other countries.  But then interestingly, the Lagos State government has sealed the school in as much as the management of, you know, the school has come out, you know, with some sort of statement via Instagram.  But now they have issued a statement and are commiserating with the family. From the very first day we sat at this conversation, there was really something very fishy. Let's not forget that you have these institutions and these institutions are supposed to protect the children or protect kids. It's really saddening. I mean, I have not really felt good every other time I get to see, you know, all of the pictures and the videos and comments and reaction. This particular story, it's really traumatizing, very, very sad. But, you know, like I said, from the beginning of everything that has happened, you just totally see negligence on the part of the school. The fact that no one pays attention.  There's a lot that's going on. It's a good thing that, yes, you know, the government has stepped in because from inception, before you have a school that has been, I mean, you don't just wake up and because you have money, you have, you know, you just go ahead and open a school, okay? There are procedures. And then the procedures will include that you will get a license and therefore it means that government is involved. And government cannot be taken out of the equation. But in all of this, this is not the first time we've heard about issue of bullying, molestation, what-have-you harassment, and even that has led to the death of children in different schools. We haven't really seen a proactive action. We haven't seen, you know, an action by government to ensure that all of this actually ends. But it's a good one. Commendable also is the fact that Nigerians are speaking up. I really must applaud, you know, this generation. It's not like, let's hold their hands. It's not my business. It's not my business. Nigerians are speaking up. Everyone is speaking up. And that's how it should be. And I must say, I'm proud to be part of this generation of this life. Yes, indeed, indeed, because most times when things like this happen before, you know, all the social media outcry and social media frenzy, you know, most times this case is actually swept under the carpet and it is really, really something, you know, good to note that Nigerians are indeed speaking out and we know that for certain that this case will not be one of them that was just swept under the carpet. And indeed, hopefully, you know, this family, the late Sylvester Urbanis family would be able to find some sort of closure and maybe justice, you know, if you may. You know, indeed, that's one of the top trending stories.   Well, the truth is, we talk about being accomplice. I mean, abating and supporting.  There could be some action that would make you an accomplice. Somewhat, yes. Somewhat an accomplice. And that's why, for instance, I mean, this profession is a very sensitive one.  Sexual harassment is a serious issue. Let's not even forget that we remember that, you know, Andrew Cuomo and the governor of New York had resigned in August. And the fact that they had to find some, you know, support. Some people are saying blood is thicker than water. The fact that you have support, you know, from family and all of that. But, you know, a lot of persons have actually commended CNN for all that's... All that CNN has actually done. And, you know, it's really commendable. All right, it's still the breakfast and plus TV Africa. Those are, you know, the top trending stories. We'll take a break and we'll be back with more. Do join us again.

good at this point especially when these Colts come in in the beginning Because they're not fit and in shape yet I Like to use that opportunity to make them work a little bit and then give them the opportunity to stop So pretty quick that stop is their reward and they start looking for it. I feel like he's paying attention good now One thing about this is that There's plenty of distractions with everything being open and that's kind of the point is They get distracted by all the little things out there and just gives them a little chance to Get their motor running and think But these horses from the get-go Learning to watch you and he's he's starting to pay attention to just my hand coming up off of the post and In order for the opportunity to stop So that's just a tiny little piece of what we're going to be expecting him to do For a long time But if I can get that thought process started right here to watch To watch me and pay attention to what I'm doing Then then he's hunting that stop and that stop becomes his reward. It's a good way of being able to You know teach those horses To work around a focused point so being able to What if I had him in the round pin, you know, essentially I'm going to be the post and I'm going to work him around me and Teach him how to be balanced on me. So in the beginning stages, that's really what I work on is having him
