Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah!! All over the world tonight, the Jewish People will be lighting their menorahs in remembrance of the miracle that God performed about twenty-two-hundred years ago in the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where a small amount of oil, enough for one day, miraculously burned for eight days during the rededication of the Temple! Given the price of gas, I’d appreciate that today! But more importantly the Shamash, or the middle candle, sits higher on the Hanukkah menorah than the other eight candles and is used to light them! As Christians we recognize that the Shamash is a representation of Jesus, who is the Light of the World and uses the rest of us, like the other candles, to share that light with the world! Thats why I say Happy Hanukkah!

Economic Study of Life in 2023 vs 1998 and 1973

We’re going to look at the US economy of today compared to 25 years ago and 50 years ago. That is 2023, 1998, and 1973 respectively. Generation X was becoming adults around 1998, born roughly between the early 1960s and early 1980s, they were in their late teens to late 30s at this time. Baby Boomers were becoming adults around 1973. Born after World War II, between the mid-1940s and mid-1960s, they were in their late teens to early 30s at this time. Once we’re all on the same page here we can see what the real problem is, and it’s unfortunately not as simple as inflation.

Israel: Reclaim the actual borders of the Promised Land



Modern day Israel is only inhabiting a small remnant of the land that God told them to take thousands of years ago. Essentially, everything between the Nile River and the Euphrates river is Israel. Currently modern Israel has reclaimed a small sliver of this land, but other nations are occupying Israel’s land. These include eastern Egypt, the northern third of Saudi Arabia, most of Iraq and Syria, all of Lebanon and Palestine, and a good bit of Turkey.

Refreshing the website and videos.

I’ve noticed that the website may have been too complicated for most people in its previous form, and nobody likes intros on videos. I’ve simplified the site, which also makes it load faster and be easier to maintain. I’m also re-recording old videos and skipping the intros.
