Meet the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jonas Gahr Støre, at the Norwegian Seamen's Church, discussing his book, "Å gjøre en forskjell" (Making a difference), Sunday June 14, 6.30pm. You may also sign up for a reception following the discussion.
"Making a Difference" is an invitation to reflect upon Norway's positions, values and interests during a time when many of the premises of international politics are changing. With a great interest and profound knowledge Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre discusses which goals we can reach, and what will happen if we succeed in reaching them. The discussion will be conducted in English in conversation with renown Norwegian journalist Anders Giæver.
In this book Støre gives us a rare insight into how Norwegian foreign policy is shaped and practiced. He takes us along on journeys to the Arctic and northern Norway to show us the importance of the high north. He discusses how energy security and climate security will affect foreign policy, and the challenges that might occur when Norway engages in countries with a different political culture. During a journey in the Middle East he searches for measures that can reduce the conflicts in this region. While in Africa he understands why the issue of health needs to be a central part of foreign policy. He also meets the Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, former Prime Minister Tony Blair – and calls on the new American president with four requests. In between, Støre shares his impressions, thoughts and analysis with us.
Mr. Støre has a wide experience working with international issues. Before being appointed to his current position in 2005, he worked with several international organizations including the World Health Organization and the Red Cross. Click here for more information about Mr. Støre.
Following the discussion, The Royal Norwegian Consulate General and The Norwegian Seamen's Church invite you to an informal reception at the church rooftop terrace. Light refreshments will be served (shrimps and wine).
The rooftop terrace offers limited space. Therefore, attendance requires reservation. Guest list at the door. Please e-mail reservations to NewYork@sjomannskirken.no or call 212-319-0370 by noon, Friday June 12th (first come, first serve). Two seats per reservation only.

Ohio Becomes Second State to Make To-Go Cocktails Permanent
COVID-19 Updates, News
by Jon Page
Ohio this week became the second state in the U.S. to permanently grant distilleries, bars, restaurants and more the right to sell cocktails to go. The shift comes after Gov. Mike DeWine signed Ohio House Bill 669, which had previously been approved by both of Ohio's General Assembly chambers.
This summer, Iowa was the first state to permanently allow the sale of cocktails to go, which until that point had been a temporary measure in the states that permit it in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new law allows services like DoorDash and Grubhub to deliver cocktails, so long as they have the proper permits. An earlier version of the Ohio bill included the allowance of direct-to-consumer shipping of finished products, but that allowance was removed.
"We were really pushing for home delivery of finished goods and we got cocktails, which is nice," says Ryan Lang, co-owner of Middle West Spirits in Columbus and former president of the Ohio Distillers Guild. "It certainly helps distilleries like ourselves and others that have those platforms. Anything is positive and we all need it right now. Anything we can do to help the industry in the state of Ohio is wonderful."

A woman who was knocked down and run over twice by her own car after it was stolen off the drive has told how she could have been killed.
Sarah Dimbleby was struck as the thug reversed her brand new Vauxhall Astra, with the vehicle going over her ankle twice.
The 38-year-old corporate sales executive for Leicester Tigers said: "The guy wouldn't have known what the car had hit and he would have felt it bump over something. It could have been my head for all he knew.
"And to do it not once but twice and not stop - it really makes you question human nature and how anyone could do something like that.
Sarah, who lives with partner Matt Wheatley in Paddock Drive, Hinckley, suffered serious cuts and bruising to her ankle but thankfully X-rays have revealed no broken bones.
Her injury needed 10 stitches and heavy strapping and she has been signed off work and is unable to walk.
She had been trying to open the driver's door of her Astra when she was hit - an automatic reaction after a stranger had grabbed her as she left her house, took her keys and jumped into the vehicle.
"I suppose it was silly but it's just the first thing you do, try and stop someone taking what is yours," said Sarah.
"I had gone inside to get a jug of warm water because the windscreen was iced over and it was taking ages trying to scrape it when this bloke came at me from behind.
"I know I have been lucky, not to even have a fracture, but it could have been worse. After the car went over me I lay there in shock, not even wanting to look at my leg.
The ordeal, which happened at around 7.55am on Tuesday, has left Sarah feeling jumpy and anxious, although she hopes this is temporary and her personal resilience will see her through.
"I am more edgy, more aware of what's going on around me at the moment. I suppose it is because it's all so fresh. I keep seeing the guy's face in my mind as well, I'd definitely recognise him if I saw him again.

It wasn't until I was older that I learned that the magnificent Colorado, the longest river in the west, doesn't make it to the sea. All of its water is used for drinking and irrigation before it reaches the Sea of Cortez.

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced Monday that it would suspend DeVry University's status as a Principles of Excellence institution after reviewing a federal lawsuit that accuses the popular for-profit college chain of deceiving prospective students about their employment potential after graduation.
The VA's Principles of Excellence status is bestowed on schools that agree to provide students with a personalized form covering the total cost of an education program, ensure accreditation of all new programs prior to enrolling students, and end fraudulent and aggressive recruiting techniques and misrepresentations.
Prospective and current DeVry students can use the VA's GI Bill Comparison tool to see a schools status in the Principles of Excellence program, as well as complaints about the institutions.
As of Monday, the listing for DeVry includes a "Caution Flag" notifying visitors that the Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against the school and that the Department of Education has filed a notice of intent to limit the college's representations, such as those regarding a students' post graduation employment outcomes.
The FTC filed its lawsuit [PDF] against DeVry in late January, seeking to return millions of dollars to thousands of students who were, according to the complaint, misled by the school's advertisements and marketing about the high likelihood of students finding gainful employment in their fields of study and the potential for earning more than students from other programs.
Beginning in 2008, DeVry claimed that 90% of its graduates actively seeking employment landed jobs within their field within six months of graduation. However, according to the FTC's lawsuit that claim was deceptive.
"In some instances when Defendants make this representation, they claim this statistic applies to [DeVry] graduates from a recent year, while in other instances, [the ads] claim this statistic applies to all graduates since 1975, or 'for more than 30 years,'" the complaint states.
The FTC alleges that DeVry's marketing became even more irresponsible in 2013. That's when the school began claiming that DeVry students earned 15% more one year after graduating than students at all other colleges and universities.
These claims, along with others, appeared in DeVry's television, radio, online, print, and other media advertisements.
For example, a television ad that ran nationally showed people in business attire hanging hundreds of "offer letters" on a wall, with a voiceover discussing the importance of getting a job offer to college students. The voiceover said all of the offer letters seen came from just the last year – followed by the 90% claim.
The FTC alleges that DeVry was able to "support" these claims by counting numerous graduates as working in their field when they were not.
For example, the FTC claims, in 2012 the school counted graduates as employed in their majors when in reality they held volunteer positions, or worked in unrelated fields such as a car salesman, and as delivery drivers.
The company also allegedly included in placement calculations positions in which graduates were working prior to enrolling at DeVry, as opposed to those they landed after graduating.
Following the FTC's lawsuit, the Department of Education announced it would take steps to limit the school's use of placement rate and employability advertisements and other representations.
The notice [PDF] requires DeVry to, among other things, cease making such representations without possessing student-specific information that substantiates the representations; retain an independent auditor to verify, before publication, any representations made regarding the post graduation employment outcomes of its students; and retain records used to develop and substantiate certain advertisements.

Q: Field seems to be missing in some responses in Active Collab 4 API I am looking for fields in task called is_completed and completed_on.
When I do the /projects/#PROJECT-ID#/tasks API call I see is_completed but I do not see completed_on.
We are using the Cloud based version of Active Collab 4.
Any reason why I am not seeing completed_on?

A: In Active Collab 4, there is a difference between "brief" API responses (used when returning large lists of objects), and detailed responses (used when a single object is returned via API).
When you are listing a list of tasks, you will get all individual tasks in brief format, but when you fetch details of each task, you'll get a detailed response.
In brief task responses, completed_on timestamp is not included, only whether tasks is completed or not (is_completed). To get the timestamp of completed tasks, make an additional call to task API for each task that is completed:
https://activecollab.com/help-classic/books/api/tasks#s-task-id
PS: In Active Collab 5, we removed brief and detailed concept, so each object always returns a single set of properties.

International firm Perkins+Will has unveiled plans for a new six story, 210,000 square foot scheme at the University of Toronto Mississauga in Ontario, Canada. The creatively named 'North Building Phase B' has a construction budget of $69 million and is due to be complete by the summer of 2018.

Part of a wider scheme, it is the second installment of a three-phase program replacing a not-so-temporary structure that was the campus' first building, built in 1967. In terms of its impact on the vicinity, the building will complete a circle of public space that surrounds the campus green creating a more holistic and established area for academia and university life.
Notable features of the design, which was granted after Perkins+Will won a two-stage competition, include a terraced atrium that is part of a multipurpose event space, numerous state-of-the-art Active Learning Classrooms, elevated roof gardens and terraces overlooking the campus green for students and staff. The firm has also employed a sustainability focused approach using solar shading and natural ventilation in tandem with clever siting and building orientation.
This isn't the first time Perkins + Will has designed for the University of Toronto. The practice has built four other buildings on the university's campus.

Lawburrows is a little-known civil action in Scots law initiated by one person afraid of another's possible violence.

Lawburrows Act 1429
The Lawburrows Act 1429 remains in force and says:

Threats of Violence and Scots Civil Law
Normally, where there is a fear of violence from certain known people, the normal recourse is through Scots criminal law and police. However, because of the need to involve the police and the Procurator Fiscal Service to seek remedies in criminal law; this recourse may be lengthy with no direct control by the complainer (in other jurisdictions, the complainant). There is also a need in criminal proceedings to provide witnesses and evidence to satisfy the corroboration requirement and to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt in order to secure a criminal conviction. As such, remedies available in criminal law may be limited if the threats of violence struggle to meet the criminal law's burden of proof.

Civil law primarily deals the enforcement of private rights and obligations between individuals and/or property. Lawburrows, as a civil law remedy, enables people to "take the law into their own hands" by exercising their rights under civil law. The burden of proof in civil cases is much less onerous than that of criminal law, only requiring that there is a likelihood of violence on the balance of probabilities and accordingly so too is the standard required of the evidence.

Interdicts
The most common action against someone who threatens violence is interdict, in other jurisdictions, a injunction, but this is awarded at the discretion of judge or Sheriff. Since public interest (the general effects of the action on the welfare of society) is involved, corroborative witnesses may be required. Interdict may require the defender to refrain from a specific conduct. Although provisional, or interim, interdicts can be granted speedily, obtaining a perpetual interdict may be very time-consuming and costly. A great disadvantage of interdict is the uncertainty about what happens should the defender disobey the interdict. If it is a first offence, a mild or nominal punishment, such as contempt of court, may be imposed or a warning given.

Lawburrows
In Scotland an alternative to interdicts is lawburrows. Lawburrows in a civil action allows a pursuer, in other jurisdictions termed a plaintiff, to require the defender to make a deposit of money as a guarantee they will not harm the pursuer. If the pursuer is later harmed by the defender, the deposit is forfeit and is split between the court and the pursuer. This was first passed by a Parliament of James I in 1429 as a remedy against threats to the safety of members of the public. The aim of Lawburrows was stated in the Act  "...to prevent such delinquences (the issuing of threats) and terrify evil doers..." The process is remarkable for its simplicity, speed of execution, low cost of process and the absolute certainty of the exact penalty should the order be contravened. Neither the police nor the Procurator Fiscal is involved unless there is a contravention of lawburrows.

Very roughly: If Alice is put in fear by Bob, Alice asks a Sheriff to hear the case against Bob (this is a civil action and so standard of proof is low). If proven, the Sheriff shall require a deposit from Bob. If, later, Alice shows the Sheriff that Bob has continued to put Alice in fear, the deposit is forfeited and divided equally between Alice and the Court. This does not preclude a criminal action being taken against Bob.

The process of lawburrows
In an initial writ to the Sheriff Court, the pursuer asserts that he fears harm to either his person, property, family, tenant or employees from the defender. He asks the Sheriff to obtain a certain sum of money (a "caution") or a bond as security against being molested or troubled further by the defender.

As soon as this writ is received, the Sheriff Clerk must immediately order it to be served on the defender and a date for an early hearing has to be fixed at the same time. At the court hearing, the standard of proof is on the balance of probabilities, so the pursuer need only show that on the balance of probabilities it is likely that harm may occur. This is a summary procedure—with no civil jury present and the Sheriff alone deciding on the facts of the case.

If the pursuer is successful, the Sheriff can order a sum of money to be found (or a bond to be given) and he can order that, should the defender fail to provide this, he shall be imprisoned for up to six months. If the defender does any harm of the kind specified in the initial writ, the pursuer may (with the consent of the Procurator Fiscal) raise an action for "contravention of lawburrows" asking that the money, or bond, be forfeited and divided equally between the Crown and himself.

The action for contravention of lawburrows does not preclude any other remedies, such as a civil action for damages for assault, or criminal proceedings by the Procurator Fiscal.

Characteristics
 One action can encompass not only the person of the pursuer, but also his family, property and employees.
 Only the pursuer has to offer evidence to show that his fear of harm is rational and well-founded.
 Proof is at the level of balance of probability.
 If judgement cannot be given immediately, then it has to be delivered by a date specified at the time of the hearing.
 The nature of the threat does not have to be specified in detail, only that vindictive persecution is feared.
 The penalty is lodged in advance of any contravention, and its amount does not depend on the circumstances in which any contravention took place.
 The specific sum to be lodged as security is not predetermined. The pursuer may suggest an amount, but the sheriff has discretion to determine it. The amount is intended to deter contravention of the order.
 The process is straightforward at every stage, there is no room for defences, preliminary pleas, debates, and continuations.
 The process is speedy, the date of proof is fixed at the outset.
 The rules of summary criminal procedure apply so there are no written pleadings.
 The objective of the action is clear and simple. It is to keep the pursuer harmless from illegal violence of which he alleges he is in dread at the time of the application.

Application
The remedy of lawburrows has a very long history. Its application is very narrow, referring only to people being put in fear and there are many alternative remedies in the criminal law, involving the police to whom people put in fear are most likely to appeal in the first instance. Many attempts to obtain remedies in this way are thwarted by the reluctance of the police to get involved in domestic disputes and quarrels between neighbours, often because of the difficulty of obtaining the witnesses needed in criminal proceedings. Such a need is largely circumvented in actions of lawburrows. Although little known to the public, and even to some solicitors, lawburrows is still in use in the present time.

Several cases in the 1980s failed because lawburrows was misapplied and, consequently, in 1988, the case for the repeal or the overhaul of lawburrows was argued cogently by W J Stewart.

Civil Judicial Statistics Scotland records 25 instances in the four-year period 1999–2002, 17 of which were in 2001. A freedom of information request in 2017 showed there were no civil actions of this type in the preceding three years.

The simplicity of lawburrows actions has attracted some vexatious litigation. In one case in 2012, a lawburrows action was sought against an accountant by a pursuer who was themselves the subject of a sequestration (bankruptcy) action, apparently to delay the latter.

THUD: Is THE SIMPSONS About To Crash To An End?
Movie News, THUD
Look, the decline in quality over at The Simpsons (for what, a decade+ now?) is a long, tired topic, but there's no doubt the show has become an institution. Considering I don't feel like any void in FOX programming left by cancelling The Simpsons would suddenly be filled with something better, it's always worth a "that's neat" to hear about the latest record the show has broken on its course to being the longest-running Sit-com ever. That might all come crashing down to a sudden and graceless ending though, as money disputes are threatening to kill the show for good.
It boils down to this: Fox wants to cut budgets for all shows, and in The Simpsons case this means demanding a 45% pay-cut from the principle cast of the show, which would knock their salaries down from about $8m a year to $4m a year. The voice actors however, are looking to drop their salaries by about 30% and carve out a very small (infinitesimally small, I'd imagine) chunk of the licensing money the show makes. The actors have always been left out of that revenue stream while the studio has made billions. All of this is to say the actors are rich as hell, but are still netting a relatively small sum from the monolithic amounts of cash the show makes. Meaning billions. With a B.
The problem is that Fox doesn't see the actors as an integral part of the show, and seem perfectly happy to replace actors or shut the whole thing down and coast on the hundreds and hundreds of episodes they've already made. Frankly, this sounds very much like a situation where the actors fold or the show dies. I can't say which is more likely though. Either way, Fox wins. They own an episode library and, more importantly, character images that will money for decades no matter what. This isn't an AMC Walking Dead/Mad Men scenario at all.
When's the last time Disney made a Mickey Mouse cartoon that anybody actually watched..? And does anyone get upset when Mickey's voice is a little different? And how powerful is that brand still?
Hey actors…

Lewis Hamilton calls on Monaco GP organisers to change layout over overtaking issue
By Quentin Gavignon / F1 / Comments
Lewis Hamilton has called on Monaco GP organisers to change the layout of the track, stressing the lack of overtaking possibilities as the main issue. The Mercedes driver also mentioned the disinterest in the race since fans can't experience an entertaining race.
Hamilton, who leads the Formula One world championship by 14 points ahead of Max Verstappen, has won three times in the Principality and in 2019, despite being on worn-out tyres, he successfully warded off an oppressing Verstappen, who went for a risky lunge at Nouvelle Chicane in the dying stage of the race.
"There is zero opportunity to overtake in a race but that has been the case for some time, it needs to change, we have had the same format for years. It is the best venue, the most beautiful place we get to race at but you know it is never exciting for fans," he said.
The Brit added: "On the list of difficult places to overtake it's off the scale, highly unlikely you would get the opportunity and I don't think fans enjoy that. I don't know what the solution is but I hope when we look forward it can be a more exciting race."
READ: Pope and Lower Order Lead England Fightback
Last year's edition was cancelled because of the pandemic, and for its return, 7,000 fans will be allowed to attend the event this weekend.
Perhaps, Monaco organisers could be inspired by the Australian GP, which was meant to kick off the 2021 season but was rescheduled in November due to the public health risks in the country at the time, with Albert Park undergoing track modifications. Turn 9 and 10 section, which was a heavy stop into a right-hander, will be replaced by a faster corner.
Lewis Hamilton also evoked his fierce but fair rivalry with Max Verstappen, claiming that he has managed to avoid crashes in the four first races with both drivers often racing harshly wheel-to-wheel.

He said: "I think I have done well to avoid all the incidents. But we have 19 more [races] and we could connect. He feels he perhaps has a lot to prove. I'm not in the same boat."
To what, Verstappen retorted: "I have nothing to prove and avoiding contact goes both ways. So we have done well. We race hard, we avoided contact on both sides. Let's hope we can keep doing that and keep racing hard against each other."
Meanwhile, McLaren announced earlier this week that Lando Norris had signed a new multi-year deal with the British team. The 21-year-old driver is in his third season in F1 and finished third at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix last month.
After experiencing many atrocious years, McLaren has come alive again with third place in the Constructors championship last year, and it appears the team has kept the same momentum transitioning into 2021.

Lando Norris – McLaren
Norris said: "I quite often go around the factory, checking in on everyone and seeing the progress and the work they're doing, and it's very reassuring and encouraging to see how hard they're working."
He added: "The structure we have in place looks very good and I think we are in a much better position than we were a few years ago."
McLaren Racing chief executive Zak Brown said: "I'm delighted with the extension of our agreement with Lando for 2022 and beyond. He's been instrumental in our return of form here at McLaren and we're proud of the growth he's shown since he first started with us back in 2017.
"Lando is one of the brightest talents on the Formula 1 grid and we look forward to seeing him continue to go from strength to strength both on and off track," he added.

Revelation 1-12 (The Gabriel Version)
The Word of Aloha
Index / Intro
Revelation 1: THE Revelation of Yeshua (Jesus) Messiah, that Yehovah gave to Him to show to His servants—certain events that must of necessity take place soon. He revealed these events by sending His messenger to His servant John. 2 He was a witness to the Word of Aloha and to the Testimony of Yeshua Messiah [1] about everything he saw [2]. 3 Anyone who reads this is blessed, as is anyone who hears the words of this prophecy and obeys the things that are written in it, because the time is imminent [3].
4 From John to the seven assemblies [churches] in Asia. Good will and peace to you from the One who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Yeshua Messiah, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead and the Ruler of the kings of the earth, who has loved us and released us from our sins by His blood, 6 and has made us a a priestly kingdom [Aramaic Malkutho koknoitho] for Aloha and His Father. To Them belongs praise and power, forever and ever. Aw-main 7 He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Yes, Aw-main.
8 "I am the Alaph and the Tau [Aramaic], says Yehovah Elohim [Yeshua], who is and was, and is to come, the Sovereign".
9 I John, your Friend and your partner in the tribulation and suffering [4] that are ours in Yeshua Messiah, was on the island called Patmos, because of the Word of Aloha and the Testimony of Yeshua Messiah. 10 I was in the spirit realm on Yehovah's Day [5], and I heard a loud voice behind me like a shofar that said, 11 "Write what you are seeing in a document and send it to the seven assemblies [Majority Greek adds to this verse]: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."
12 I turned around to look at the voice that spoke to me, and as I turned I saw the seven gold menorahs, 13 and among the menorahs, someone, 'perhaps' [6] the Human Son, wearing a robe down to His feet, and wearing a gold sash around His chest. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes resembled flames of fire. 15 His feet were like refined brass, glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the waves on the sea. 16 He had seven stars in His right hand and a sharp two edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining full strength.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as tho dead. He laid His right hand on me and said "Don't be afraid, I am the First and the Last, 18 the living One. I was dead, but look, I'm alive forevermore! Aw-main. And I have the keys of death and Sheol.
19 So record what you have already seen, the things that presently are, and the things that are going to happen in the future. 20 As for the mystery about the seven stars that you saw in My right hand, and the seven gold menorahs: The seven stars are the spirit messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven menorahs are the seven assemblies."
[1] The "Word of Yehovah" is what Tertullian was first to call the "Old Testament", in a move to make it appear obsolete, while the "Testimony of Yeshua", the name that John used six times, is what Tertullian renamed "New Testament". [2] Was this prophecy a vision or something far more interesting? [3] Imminent from the perspective of the seven end time assemblies—the successors of the prototype assemblies who first read these prophecies. Once these prophesies begin to happen, they'll happen quickly. [4] The Aramaic word for "suffering" can also imply "patience", which is how the Greek translator translated it. But the tribulation (pain) and suffering that John said he was to experience, go hand in hand. [5] Yehovah's Day, aka "the Lord's Day", translates exactly as "the Day of the 'Lord'" in Hebrew—one of the most prophesied events in the Scriptures. [6] Literally, "like" or "resembling" or "corresponding to", just as in Daniel 7:13. John was not positive of His identity at first (Revelation 1:17-18).
Ephesus, I May Come to You Quickly
Revelation 2: Write this to the messenger of the assembly in Ephesus: "This is the message of the One who holds everything, including the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven gold menorahs, says: 2 I know your works, your toil and your endurance. I know that you can't tolerate the wicked, and that you have tested those who claim to be 'apostles' and aren't, and you've found them to be liars. 3 You've persevered and endured burdens because of My name, and haven't grown weary.
4 Yet I have some things against you. You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 So remember the 'height' you have fallen from and make amends. Do the former works, because unless you make amends for your sins, I WILL COME TO YOU QUICKLY and I'll remove your menorah from its place! 6 But you have this in your favor, you hate the works of the Nicolaitans that I also hate.
7 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies. To anyone who is victorious, I'll give fruit to eat from the Tree of Life [1] that's in the paradise of Aloha.'"
Smyrna in Tribulation
8 To the messenger of the assembly in Smyrna, write: The First and the Last, the One who was dead and now lives, says: 9 'I know your works and your suffering, and your poverty, but you are rich, despite the blasphemy coming from those who say that they are Jews, but aren't. They are from the cabal [2] of Satan. 10 Don't fear the things you are to suffer! Look, the Accuser will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you'll undergo tribulation for ten days. But be faithful until death, and I'll give you the crown of Life.
11 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies. Anyone who is victorious will never be harmed by the second death.'"
Pergamos, I May Come to You Too
12 To the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos, write: The One with the sharp two-edged sword, says, 13 I know your works, and where you live—where Satan's throne is, and that you hold firmly to My name. You didn't deny My faith in the days when My faithful witness [3] who was martyred among you was made a spectacle of [4], where Satan lives.
14 But I have something against you, because some of you there cling to the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block in front of the descendants of Israel, so that they would eat the ze'bakim [sacrifices] of idols and commit sexual immorality. 15 You also have some who cling to the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. 16 So amend your ways, or I WILL COME TO YOU QUICKLY and wage war against them with the long sword of My mouth.
17 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies. I'll give anyone who is victorious 'some' hidden manna to eat, and I'll give them a white stone with a new name written on it that no one knows except for the person who receives it."
Thyatira Will Suffer Great Tribulation
18 To the messenger of the assembly at Thyatira, write: Aloha's Son, who has eyes like flames of fire and feet like burnished brass, says: 19 I know your works, love, faith, service and endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.
20 But I have a complaint against you. You tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she deceives My servants into sexual immorality and into eating things offered to idols. 21 I gave her time to change her ways, but she didn't want to turn away from her sexual immorality. 22 I'll throw her on a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer GREAT TRIBULATION unless they turn from her evil ways! 23 I'll strike her children dead and ALL THE ASSEMBLIES WILL KNOW [5] that I'm the One who searches the innermost thoughts and motives. I'll compensate each of you commensurate with your works. 24 But as for the rest of you in Thyatira, everyone who hasn't accepted this doctrine, everyone who hasn't learned the so-called profound things of Satan, I won't burden you with anything else. 25 But hold tightly onto what you have UNTIL I COME [6].
26 To those who are victorious, persevering in My works TO THE END, I'll give authority over the nations. 27 They'll rule them with an iron scepter, and they [our enemies] will be shattered like clay jars, just as I 'Myself' have received authority from My Father. 28 I'll give them the Morning Star [7]. 29 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies."
[1] Which of the promises made to the 7 assemblies could you live without? You must have all 7! John further clarified who could eat from the Tree of Life in Chapter 22:14. The Tree of Life is only for those who obey the Commandments! [2] The Greek word "synagogue" is generic, it doesn't specify the function of a group. In this instance a sinister congregation is certainly implied. [3] The Greek adds the name "Antipas". Gill's says "... Antipas is the contraction of Antipater, and is the same with Antipapas, or Antipappas, which signifies one that is against the pope..." . [4] The Greek does not include "was made a spectacle" or "was exposed". [5] There goes the eras theory. [6] The Thyatirans will be here "UNTIL I COME." [7] The Morning-Star is phos-phorus, Light-Bringer, and the planet Venus. But someone claimed to be the new Light Bringer (the Light of the world) and that he was going to ascend to Heaven and occupy the throne of the universe (Isaiah 14:12-14). In addition to claiming to be the Light Bringer (or Lucifer: from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), he also claimed to be Elohim (God) in Ezekiel 28:1-19, again mentioning that he wanted Elohim's throne. He was really the Prince of Darkness!
Sardis, I May Come to You
Revelation 3: To the messenger of the assembly in Sardis, write: "He who has the seven spirits of Yehovah and the seven stars says, I know your works, you're name [or reputation] 'says' that you are alive, but you're dead. 2 Wake up and preserve the things that remain and are about to die, because I've found your works to be lacking in the sight of Yehovah. 3 Remember the way you received and heard, and obey those teachings and make amends. If you don't wake up, I WILL COME TO YOU like a thieving false 'minister' and you won't know which annual time [1] I'll come to you.
4 Yet you have a few good names in Sardis who haven't defiled their clothes. They'll walk with Me in white because they are worthy. 5 Anyone who is victorious will wear white clothes, and I won't blot their names from the Book of Life. I'll acknowledge their names before My Father and before His messengers. 6 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies."
Philadelphia, I'll Protect You
7 To the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia, write: "The One who is kadosh, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, says: 8 I know your works. Look, I have put an open door in front of you that no one can shut, because you have a little strength and you've obeyed My Word and haven't denied My name! 9 I have something for those of the cabal of Satan who claim to be Jews and aren't, but lie, I'll make them come and worship [2] before your feet, and realize that I have loved you! 10 Since you've patiently obeyed My Word, I'll protect you from the Hour of Trial that is coming to the entire inhabited world, to test those who live on the earth.
11 I AM COMING QUICKLY! [3] Hold tightly onto what you have, so that no one takes your crown. 12 I'll make anyone who is victorious a pillar in the Temple of Yehovah, and they'll never be separated from the assembly, and I'll write Yehovah's name on them, and the name of New Jerusalem that descends from the heavens from my Aloha, and My own new name. 13 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies."
Laodicea, I'm About to Vomit You!
14 To the messenger of the assembly in Laodicea, write: "The Aw-main, the Witness, the Faithful, the True, the Originator of Yehovah's creation, says: 15 'I know your works, that you are neither hot or cold. I wish that you were either cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot or cold, I'm about to vomit you from My mouth.' 17 You say, 'I'm rich and I don't need anything', not realizing that you are sick [Aramaic], miserable, destitute, blind and naked! 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so that you'll actually become rich, and buy white clothing from Me so that you can clothe yourself, and the shame of your nakedness won't appear, and eye salve for yours eyes, so that you can see.
19 I admonish and discipline everyone I love. So be zealous and make amends. 20 I have been standing at the door knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I'll come in to them and eat with them, and they with Me.
21 Anyone who is victorious I'll allow to sit with Me on My throne [4], even as I was victorious and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 To anyone 'listening', listen to what the spirit says to the assemblies."
[1] While this word can be translated as simply "day" or "hour", the first meaning of hora is "a certain definite time or season fixed by natural law and returning with the revolving year." This is how the Scriptural calendar, anchored by the spring barley harvest and visible new moons is determined. Most of the important historical events (such as Passover and Pentecost of 31 AD) have occurred on these "annual times", just as the prophetic events will occur on Israel's 7 Apocalyptic Days! [2] The kadishea [saints] will be made worthy of worship on Judgment Day. [3] From the perspective of the end time seven assemblies—the successors of the prototypical assemblies who first read this prophecy—once these prophesies begin to happen, they'll happen quickly. [4] For most of history kings literally ruled from their thrones, yet from this passage the "SEAT of authority" for the Kingdom of Yehovah was predicted to be administered by a multiplicity of kings, literally ruling in complete harmony from a "dreadfully high" (Ezekiel 1:18) "throne" (v.26).
Revelation 4: After this, I looked and saw a door open in the sky! The first voice that I heard was like a shofar talking with me. It said, "Come up here and I'll show you the things that must happen after this." 2 Instantly, I was in the spirit realm and a throne 'appeared' in the sky, and Someone was seated on the throne! 3 The One sitting there resembled a jasper stone and sardonyx. And encircling the throne was a rainbow 'amid' clouds [1] with an emerald 'hue'. 4 Around the throne [Aramaic Kursio, a seat of state] were twenty-four thrones, and on those thrones I saw twenty four Elders who were dressed in white robes, with gold coronets [crowns without arches] on their heads. 5 Lightning flashes and rumbling thunder came from the throne. Seven flaming menorahs were burning in front of the throne. These are the seven spirits of Yehovah.
A Sea of Glass
6 In front of the throne it looked like a sea of glass [2] that sparkled like crystal. In the center near the throne and around the sides were four living beings 'covered' with eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living Being resembled a lion, the second living Being resembled a calf, the third living Being had a face like a man, and the fourth living Being resembled a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living beings had six wings around them, and they were covered with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stop saying, "kadosh, kadosh, kadosh, Yehovah Aloha, the Sovereign, who was, and is, and is to come. 9 Whenever these living beings give praise and honor and thankfulness to the One who sits on the throne, to the One who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four Elders fall down before the One who seated on the throne, and they worship the One who lives forever and ever. They toss their coronets before the throne and say, 11 "You are worthy, O Master our Aloha, the Kadosh One, to receive praise and honor and power, because You've created everything [the universe]. And because of Your will these 'things' were and are being created" [3].
[1] The Greek (and Lamsa) don't mention the clouds. [2] The "transparent sea of glass that sparkled like crystal in verse 6 mirrors the "watery expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal spread out over their heads" of Ezekiel 1:22. [3] The Greek can imply: "And because of Your will the worlds were made inhabitable."
The Lamb is Worthy
Revelation 5: I saw a small book in the right hand of the One who sat on the throne. It had writing on the inside as well as on the back side, and it was sealed with seven seals. 2 I saw a mighty messenger announcing in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the small book and to break its seals?" 3 No one in Heaven above or on earth or under the earth was able to open the small book or even look inside it. 4 I cried and cried because no one was found worthy to open the small book or to look inside it. 5 One of the Elders said to me, "Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the offshoot [descendant] of David has been victorious, He'll open the small book and its seven seals!
6 I looked, and among the Elders stood a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, and it had seven horns and seven eyes. They are the seven spirits of Yehovah that are sent out into all the earth. 7 He came and took the small book from the right hand of the One who was seated on the throne. 8 When He had taken the small book, the four living beings and the twenty-four Elders fell down in front of the Lamb, each of them having a harp and gold cups full of incense, that are the prayers of the kadishea [saints]. 9 They sang a new song: "You deserve to take the small book and to open its seals, because You were slain and have purchased us for Yehovah with Your own blood, out of every tribe and language and people and nation, 10 and You've made them kings and priests for Yehovah, and they'll rule as kings on the earth".
11 I looked, and I heard as it were, the voices of many messengers around the throne, and the living beings and the Elders, and they numbered one-hundred million—many thousands of thousands. 12 They were saying with loud voices, "The Lamb who was slain deserves to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, praise and blessings.
13 And He'll be over everything created in Heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea and everything in them." Then I heard the One who sat on the throne saying, "The Lamb is being given blessings, honor, praise and power forever and ever." 14 The four living beings said, "Aw-main!" Then the Elders fell down and worshiped.
The First Six Seals
Revelation 6: I watched as the Lamb broke open one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, "Come and see". 2 I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him. He went out as a conqueror to conquer [1].
3 After he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living Being say, "Come." 4 And another horse went out, a fiery red one, and the rider was given the power to take peace from the earth, so that people would kill each other, and a large sword was given to him.
5 When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living Being say, "Come and see". So I looked and saw a black horse, and the rider had a balance beam scale in his hand. 6 I heard a voice from among the four living beings that said, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenices of barley for a denarius, and don't hurt the olive oil and the wine."
7 When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living Being say, "Come and see". 8 I looked, and there was a green horse, and the rider's name was Death! Sheol followed behind him. He was given authority over a quarter of the earth to kill people with the sword [warfare], famines, 'epidemics', and by the ravenous animals of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the bodies of those who were slain because of the Word of Aloha [2] and for the Testimony of the Lamb [3] that they had. 10 They called out in a loud voice, "Kadosh and true Master, how long will You wait before judging and avenging those living on earth who shed our blood?" 11 They were each given a white robe and told that they must rest a little longer, until after the rest of their fellow servants and Friends had been killed, as they were.
12 I watched as He broke open the sixth seal, and there was a huge earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon turned blood red. [4] 13 Stars from the heavens fell to the earth [See footnote on Isaiah 34:4] like unripe figs falling from a fig tree when it is shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky recoiled like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was 'shaken' out of place. 15 The kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders of thousands, the rich men, the men of valor and all the servants and free men hid themselves in caves and among rocks in the mountains, 16 and they said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of the One sitting on the throne AND from the anger of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of Their anger has come, and who is able to 'survive' that?"
[1] The predominant evangelical viewpoint on this white horse is that it represents "the Antichrist". But just like the other four horsemen in Zechariah 6, all of the horsemen answer to Aloha. The horsemen are sent out for punishment. There is a far more complete explanation of who is on the white horse in Revelation 19:11-16, and a pretty good one here. There is no hint of Satan dividing his kingdom here! People invented a "death angel" for the time of the exodus, for the same reason—they have trouble believing that Father Himself did the killing in Exodus 11:4-5, and Exodus 12:23 (that is correct in the YLT. [2] "The Word of Elohim (Aloha) is the (Hebrew) Scriptures—also identified with Yeshua in person, Revelation 19:13. [3] The "Testimony of the Lamb" or the "Testimony of Yeshua" is the so-called "New Testament". (See the forward). [4] This happens "Immediately after the time of Tribulation": Matthew 24:19
Revelation 7: After all of this I saw four messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the land or the sea or on the trees. 2 Then I saw another messenger coming up from the direction of the rising sun. He had the seal of the living Aloha, and he called out loudly to the four messengers who were allowed to harm the land and the sea, 3 He said, "Don't harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of Yehovah." 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000, sealed from every tribe of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, 6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh, 7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar, 8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, and 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
An Enormous Crowd
9 After this I saw an enormous crowd of people that no one could count, from every people, nation, tribe and language. They were standing in front of the throne and the Lamb, wearing white robes, and they were holding palms in their hands. 10 They were shouting, "Eternal Life to Yehovah, to the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!" 11 All the messengers stood around the throne with the Elders and the four living beings, and they bowed face down in front of His throne and worshiped Yehovah, 12 and said, "Aw-main. Blessing and praise and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to Yehovah forever and ever, Aw-main.'"
13 Then One of the Elders turned and asked me, "Who are these people wearing white robes, and where do they come from?"
14 I said, "Friend, you know". He replied, "These are the ones who are coming out [1] of the Great Tribulation. They've washed their clothes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 That's why they are in front of the throne of Yehovah, serving Him day and night in His Temple. [2] And the One seated on the throne will 'protect them under His shadow' [Aramaic nageen alihun, 'shadow over them']. 16 They won't hunger or thirst any more [3], nor will they be 'overcome' by the sun or burning heat, 17 because the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will feed them and lead them to springs of living water, and Yehovah will wipe every tear from their eyes."
[1] "The verb form in the Greek for 'come' is in the present participle." This being an ongoing process is a paradigm buster! [2] Ezekiel chapters 40-48 are all about the temple services during the Everlasting Kingdom, tho people don't want to hear that. Ezekiel 47 is clearly the same time period as Revelation 21-22. The Levites, other than descendants of Zadok, are disqualified from serving in the future temple (:10-16.) Perhaps the 144,000 will take their place. [3] Isaiah 49:10 describes these exact same events, the end of "hunger", "thirst", "heat" and "sun", along with "springs of water" in the context of survivors of the Great Tribulation, from all twelve tribes of Israel returning to the land of Israel during the Second Exodus, at the beginning of the Everlasting Kingdom!
Seventh Seal Broken
Revelation 8: When 'the Lamb' broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
2 I saw the seven messengers who stand before Yehovah, and they were given seven shofars.
3 Then another messenger came and stood by the altar. He held a gold censer, and he was given plenty of incense so that he could offer it with the prayers of all the kadishea on the gold altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the kadishea rose up to Yehovah from the messenger's hand. 5 The messenger took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. There was thunder, lightning, loud voices, and an earthquake.
6 The seven messengers who had the seven shofars made preparations for blowing them.
7 The first blew his shofar, and there was hail and fire mixed with water [A], and these were thrown to the earth, and a third of the earth burned, and a third of all the trees were burned, and all the green grass burned.
8 The second messenger blew his shofar, and something resembling a huge fiery mountain plunged into the sea, and a third of the sea turned into blood. 9 A third of all the creatures living in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third messenger blew his shofar, and an asteroid [Gr. aster] fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the 'artesian' springs. 11 The name of the asteroid is Wormwood, and a third of the water became polluted with wormwood. Many people died from the water because it had turned bitter.
12 The fourth messenger blew his shofar, and a third of the sun turned dark, as did a third of the moon and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened and a third of the day turned dark, as did the night.
13 Then I saw and heard an eagle with a blood red tail [B] flying directly overhead. It said in a loud voice, "Catastrophe, catastrophe, catastrophe [1] for those who live on earth, because of the blasts of the remaining shofars that the three messengers are about to blow."
[1] Greek "oye", presumably from the Hebrew expression (and yes, it's 3 times). [A] The Greek says "blood". [B] The Greek says "angelos" instead of "eagle with a blood red tail."
The Bottomless Abyss
Revelation 9: The fifth messenger blew his shofar, and I saw a star in the sky fall to earth. He [the star] was given the key to the bottomless abyss. 2 He opened the bottomless pit and smoke came out of the pit, like smoke from a blast furnace. The smoke from the pit darkened the sun and the air. 3 Locusts came out of the smoke and onto the earth, and they were given power like earthly scorpions have. 4 They were forbidden to harm the remaining grass on the earth, or any green plants, or any trees, but only the people who didn't have the seal of Yehovah on their foreheads. 5 They weren't allowed to kill anyone. They were only allowed to torture them for five months. Their agony was like the pain of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 In those days people will look for death, but they won't find it, they'll long to die, but death will elude them.
7 The locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. On their heads were what looked like gold coronets, and their faces looked like human faces. 8 They had hair resembling women's hair, and their teeth resembled lion's teeth. 9 They had breastplates that appeared to be iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of a vast number of horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails and stingers like scorpions, and with their tails they had the power to torment people for five months. 11 The king who ruled them is the angel of the abyss [Gr. abussos]. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon.
12 One catastrophe [woe] is past, but there are two more catastrophes coming!
Four Deadly Angels Released
13 The sixth messenger blew his shofar, and I heard a voice from the horns of the gold altar that was in front of Yehovah 14 say to the sixth messenger who had a shofar, "Release the four angels that were 'tartarooed' [1] at the great river Euphrates." 15 The four angels were released. They had been awaiting this very hour, day, month and year [2] to kill a third of humanity. 16 The number of cavalry troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.
17 While I looked at the horses within view, and at those who rode them, I saw that their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue [jacinth] and yellow [sulfur]. The horses had heads like lions. Fire, smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues—by fire, smoke, and by the sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails were like snake heads that inflict injury.
20 The rest of humanity who weren't killed by these plagues still didn't amend their ways, so as not to worship demons and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood that can't see or hear [3]. 21 They had no regrets for their murder, witchcraft, sexual immorality [Gr. porneia] or robbery.
[1] The word tartaroo is actually a verb! That's about the only reliable part of the lexicon reference that's accurate (2 Peter 2:4). [2] There is a definite time appointed (Habakkuk 2:3) for the end of the age. It will not be "cut short" or "tarry". Perhaps the exact time was set when Yeshua was rejected, tho a bonafide opportunity had been presented for His acceptance, as Father indicated in the analogy of the vineyard (Matthew 21:37). [3] The Greek adds "or walk".
The Small Book
Revelation 10: I saw another mighty messenger come down from the sky surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun and his legs [1] like pillars of fire. 2 He had a small book opened in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. 3 He shouted with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he shouted, the seven thunders began to speak. 4 When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to record it, but I heard a voice from the sky say, "Seal up the things that the seven thunders have said, and don't record those things."
5 The messenger I saw standing on the sea and the land raised his right hand toward Heaven 6 and swore by the One who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in it, and the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it, that no time remained. 7 When the time comes for the seventh messenger to blow his shofar, the mystery of Yehovah will be finished, just as He announced to His servants the prophets.
8 Then the voice that I heard from the sky spoke to me again. It said, "Go, take the small book that is open in the hand of the messenger who is standing on the sea and on the land."
John Must Prophecy Again!
9 So I went to the messenger and asked him to give me the small book. And he told me, "Take it and eat it, it will turn your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." 10 So I took the small book from the hand of the messenger and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but after I had eaten it my stomach turned bitter. 11 Then he told me, "John, you must prophesy again before many nations, peoples, princes, and kings."
[1] The Aramaic word can refer to "legs" or "feet", but the Greek translator chose "pous", a word that only refers to "feet", instead of "skelos" (leg). Legs can be like pillars, but feet cant.
John Measures the Temple
Revelation 11: Then I, John, was given a measuring reed like a staff, and the messenger stood and said, "Get up and measure the Temple [1] of Yehovah and the altar and those who worship there [2]. 2 But don't measure the courtyard outside of the Temple. Leave it out, because it has been given to the heathens, and they'll trample the kadosh city underfoot for forty-two months.
The Two Witnesses
3 I'll commission My Two Witnesses. They'll prophesy for 1,260 days, wearing sackcloth. 4 They are the two olive trees and the two menorahs [3] standing in the presence of the Aloha of the earth. 5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies—if anyone wants to harm them they must be killed in the same way. 6 These Witnesses have the power to shut up the sky, to keep rain from falling during those days [Gr. "of prophecy"], and they have power over bodies of water to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with any disaster as often as they want.
7 When they have finished witnessing, the predatory beast [Aramaic "a beast of the tooth"] that came up from the abyss will wage war against them and kill them. 8 Their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great city that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where their Master was crucified. 9 And the people of various tribes and ethnicities and languages will look on their dead bodies for three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be buried. 10 Those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and revel, and send presents to each other because the two prophets had tormented the people who live on earth.
11 But after the three and a half days the breath of Life from Yehovah entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror 'struck' everyone who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from the sky saying, "Come up here". They went up into the sky in a cloud while their enemies looked on.
13 In the same hour there was a severe earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the 'survivors' were terrified and praised Yehovah [the Greek adds "of heaven"].
The Third Catastrophe
14 The second catastrophe [woe] has passed, but the third catastrophe is coming quickly!
15 The seventh messenger blew his shofar, and there were voices [the Greek adds "in heaven"] and thunder that said, "The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of Yehovah and of His Messiah, and They will [4] reign forever and ever." 16 The twenty-four Elders who are in the presence of Yehovah's throne [5] who sit on their own thrones fell face down and worshiped Yehovah, 17 and said, "We praise you, Yehovah Aloha the Sovereign, who is, and was, because You've assumed Your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations were angry, but Your anger has come, and it's time for the dead to be judged, and for You to compensate Your servants the prophets, and the kadishea and those who fear Your name, both small and great, and to destroy those who have destroyed the earth.
19 The Temple of Yehovah in the sky was opened, and the ark of His covenant was visible inside His Temple. There was lightning and thunder and voices, an earthquake and huge hail.
[1] Here John is actually told to measure the end time third Temple just prior to the Two Witnesses commission (v.3). The terms "measure", "measured" and "measuring" combined are found dozens of times in reference to the temple in Ezekiel 40-42. This would explain the previous verse (10:11): "John, you must prophesy AGAIN before many nations and peoples and princes and kings." These three verses have John, and perhaps Moses and Elijah working together. (Malachi 4:5-6). Does Aloha (God) Travel in Time? [2] While the temple is to be literally measured, the people are figuratively measured, to see how they "measure up"! [3] This is a reference to Zechariah 4, verse 11 in particular, equating the seven branched Hebrew "menorah" with the Greek "luchnia". Both are usually translated as "candle sticks" or "lamp stands". [4] Same wording as Revelation 22:5. [5] The Greek has the elders in this verse sitting on thrones [Gr. thronos], omitting mention of Yehovah's throne, unlike 4:2-4, 7:11, and 19:4.
The Woman in the Wilderness
Revelation 12: 'Amazing imagery' [1] was seen in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 Being pregnant, she cried out from birth pains and the agony of giving birth. [2] 3 Another sign appeared in the sky, a huge fiery Dragon [Gr. drakon] that had seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems were on his head. 4 His tail 'swept' away a third of the stars [angels, Revelation 9:1] in the sky and cast them to the ground. The Dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that as soon as she had given birth he would devour her Son.
5 She gave birth to a Son who is to rule all nations with a scepter of iron. Her Child was quickly taken up to Yehovah and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where Yehovah had prepared a place for her, so that THEY [3] could nourish her for 1,260 days. 7 Then there was war in the sky, Michael and his messengers fought against the Dragon, and the Dragon and his angels waged war, 8 but they were 'defeated'. And there was no longer any place for them in heaven. [the sky] [4]. 9 The huge Dragon was thrown down, the ancient Dragon who is called the Deceiver and the Adversary, who seduces the entire inhabited world—he was thrown to earth and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 I heard a 'loud' voice from the the sky, "Now there is eternal Life and power, and the Kingdom of Yehovah, and the dominion of His Messiah, because the Accuser of our Friends who accused them day and night before our Aloha has been thrown down. 11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and because of their spoken testimony. They didn't love their lives 'so much that they wouldn't risk' death. 12 So the heavens should be joyful and those of you who live there. Pity the earth and the sea, because the deceiver has been cast down to you, filled with rage, knowing that he has little time left.
The Dragon Cast Down
13 When the Dragon saw that he had been cast to the ground, he persecuted the woman who had given birth to the Son. 14 The woman was given the two wings of a huge eagle so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place of habitation, where she would be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the 'presence' of the serpent. 15 The Dragon spewed water from his mouth like a river toward the woman, attempting to sweep her away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman. It opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the Dragon had spewed from his mouth. 17 The Dragon was furiously angry with the woman, and he went off to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who obey the Commandments of Yehovah [TORAH] AND have THE TESTIMONY OF YESHUA.
[1] An amazing theory. [2] Israel is the "woman clothed with the sun...moon...stars" (Genesis 37:9). This refers to the whole house of Israel being reborn as a nation—not just Judah. Isaiah 66:6-10 elaborates on the rebirth of Israel. See Micah 5:2-3, Micah 4:6-13 and Zechariah 10:6-10. The Maiden Zion is almost destroyed Jeremiah 4, especially v.27 & v.31. [3] Most modern versions omit "THEY"! [4] Satan presently rules over the lower atmosphere. He is "the prince and power of the lower atmosphere" (Ephesians 2:2).

Q: Is there a way to get/set standard UITableViewCell textLabel from a custom method? Is there a way to get or set the textLabel of a standard UITableViewCell inside a custom method? For instance of a pseudo code,
-(void)getTextLabelOfUITableViewCell
{
    UILabel *tempLabel = [[UITableViewCell section:0 row:1] textLabel];
}

-(void)setTextLabelOfUITableViewCell:(UILabel *)data
{
    [[UITableViewCell section:0 row:1] textLabel] = data;
}

I'm trying to bind this with the PickerView delegate methods so whenever I change values in the datepicker or picker, the selected UITableViewCell will reflect the changes.
Otherwise I'd have to create a custom UITableViewCell. It'd be nice to be able to programmatically use the standard UITableViewCell Styles.
Thanks in advance!

A: You should keep (or pass) a reference to the "currently selected cell". Then you can easily access its text label by simply writing:
// assuming the selected cell is kept in a property by name selectedTableViewCell
UILabel * tempLabel = self.selectedTableViewCell.textLabel;

In case you're wondering how to keep such a reference, you should implement the
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

method, and in it, simply state:
self.selectedTableViewCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

This way, when the user taps the cell, it will be set as the "selected cell".
Another way to fly would be by adding the reference to the cell you want to edit the text from in the IBAction as a parameter, like this:
-(IBAction)getTextLabelOfUITableViewCell:(UITableViewCell *)editMe;

And then you could write something like:
UILabel * tempLabel = editMe.textLabel;

You pretty much can do whatever you want with the label from there on.
Hope this helps!

Claude Wilson Osteen (born August 9, 1939), nicknamed "Gomer" because of his resemblance to television character Gomer Pyle, is an American former professional baseball left-handed pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Redlegs/Reds, Washington Senators, Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago White Sox.

Career overview
The most significant portion of Osteen's career was spent with the Dodgers. Osteen never really received a season-long chance to start in Cincinnati and was traded on Sept. 16, 1961 to the Washington Senators for pitcher Dave Sisler. With the Senators, Osteen finally got a chance to start regularly in the big leagues, albeit with a consistently sub-.500 team. After posting a winning record (15–13) in 1964, he was in much demand that winter. On December 4, 1964, Osteen was traded by the Senators to the Dodgers in a 7-player deal, with five players (two of whom were Frank Howard and Pete Richert) going to the Senators. Osteen developed into one of the game's better starters in Los Angeles.

After two years with an earned run average (ERA) under 3.00 (–), Osteen was considered a top-notch starter and a workhorse. In those two years, Osteen and the Dodgers reached two straight World Series (the only two he would reach in his career). In the 1965 World Series, the Dodgers went on to beat the Minnesota Twins in 7 games, with Osteen pitching brilliantly. He had a 0.64 ERA in the Series, with a 1–1 record including a shutout, which came after teammates Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax had lost their respective games (the first two games of the Series). In the 1966 World Series, the Dodgers were beaten by the Baltimore Orioles in four games. Osteen was charged with the loss, in a 1–0 pitcher's duel with Wally Bunker in Game 3, despite giving up only three hits in seven innings; a home run by Paul Blair accounted for the game's only run. Osteen's final postseason statistics include a 0.86 ERA with seven strikeouts in 21 innings pitched.

In , Osteen reached his first All-Star game. His season totals included a 17–17 record, a 3.22 ERA and 152 strikeouts in 288 innings pitched. He hurled 14 complete games, with five shutouts. In , Osteen was one of the game's consistent hard-luck losers; despite a very respectable 3.08 ERA, he only won 12 of 30 decisions. The 12 victories would be his fewest in a season from 1964 to 1973; the 18 losses tied him with Ray Sadecki for the major league lead. In , Osteen won 20 games for the first time and set a number of career highs, including 321 innings pitched, 183 strikeouts, 16 complete games, and 7 shutouts.

In the 1970s, Osteen was still pitching an average of 260 innings a year. In the 1970 All-Star game, Osteen pitched three shutout innings, notching the win, in a game most remembered for the play in which Pete Rose barreled into Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 12th inning. Coincidentally, like Osteen, the pitcher and hitter involved in the walk-off single were also Tennessee natives: Jim Hickman (who had been a Dodger teammate of Osteen's in 1967) collected the hit off losing pitcher Clyde Wright (coincidentally, Hickman and Wright would become Comeback Players of the Year in their respective leagues).

In , Osteen had a particularly strong year, finishing with 7 complete game victories in his last 9 starts. That year, he was 20–11, with a 2.64 ERA, in 252 innings pitched.

Osteen made his 3rd and final All-Star team in 1973, in what would prove to be his last real quality MLB campaign — and his last season with the Dodgers. That year, while pitching for a 2nd-place Dodger team, Osteen went 16–11 and posted a 3.31 ERA, while logging 33 starts, 12 complete games, and 3 shutouts. He had achieved double-figure wins each year, for 10 consecutive seasons (1964–1973).

Osteen was dealt along with minor-league right-handed pitcher David Culpepper from the Dodgers to the Houston Astros for Jimmy Wynn at the Winter Meetings on December 6, 1973. Wynn helped the Dodgers win the 1974 NL pennant The Astros traded Osteen to the St. Louis Cardinals in August 1974. On September 11, 1974 he pitched 9 innings of relief against the New York Mets in a 25 inning game, won by St. Louis 4–3. He did not figure in the decision. In April 1975, he was released by the Cardinals and was signed by the Chicago White Sox, for whom he played his final game on September 27, 1975. His release by the White Sox on April 5, 1976 was among the team's final roster cuts at the end of spring training. Over the course of an 18-year professional career, Osteen compiled 196 wins, 1,612 strikeouts, and a 3.30 ERA.

As a batter, Osteen had a lifetime .188 batting average, with 8 home runs, and 76 runs batted in (RBI). He was used as pinch hitter on a number of occasions. Defensively, he recorded a .971 fielding percentage which was 18 points higher than the league average at his position.

Beginning in , Osteen became a big league pitching coach for the Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, and Dodgers. He also coached various minor league teams.

Solo motorcycle travel is dangerous. It changes the way you look at yourself and the world. It makes you want to travel more, to get out and experience more adventure. It tempts you to re-examine how you're spending your time; to shift your priorities and re-evaluate your relationships. And it's a smorgasboard for the soul.
Although I hadn't intended to do all of a recent trip solo, as often happens, last minute changes left me on my own, although rarely alone. It was exactly what I needed.
Independence. You are completely on your own schedule. You can go where you want, when you want. When you find a particularly appealing place and decide to stay an extra day, you can do so without messing up anyone else's plans.
Resourcefulness. You learn to be creative and find out how little you really need to get by.
Confidence. This is huge! Things happen when you're out there and you learn to manage on your own. You're forced to call on your own strength and ingenuity to sort things out. It's amazing what you learn about your capabilities.
Approachability. People approach you more readily than they would if you were with even one other person. They're fascinated, especially when they see a woman traveling alone. They are engaging and welcoming.
Receptiveness. People are more receptive to you when you approach them. You meet the most amazing people.
Preferred seating. Often when all seats are taken at a restaurant or show, there's room for one more. Or they can squeeze you in somewhere. These seats are often offered at a reduced rate as well.
Mechanical aptitude. You get to know a lot about your bike and understand its idiosyncrasies and needs. If something is going wrong, you can often pick up early warning signs. This also builds confidence in your riding abilities and your self.
Serendipity. It happens when you're out there with others, but never to the same extent. At least, not that you notice.
Freedom. There is something so ultimately freeing when you're out there crossing the country; something that you only feel when you're alone.
Connection with spirit. This goes beyond freedom. It's a feeling of being alone and connected at the same time. It's more than becoming one with your bike. Something else happens when you're out there alone, moving through nature and you feel a profound interconnectedness with the universe.
If you've never tried solo travel, you owe it to yourself to do so. Start with small steps. Perhaps a half-day ride. Yes, it can be frightening and you may have to give yourself a pep talk before leaving. But once you're out on the open road, all that falls away. The rewards are incredible.
Like the pic, are you ready?
Woman and we all love you!!!
Mary McGee you have made my day!!!! Thank you.
Lots of love back to you too. You're a perfect role model.

Also some scripts which make a word cloud out of allt he things people have posted to /loseit
