    Waking up this Saturday morning, I didn’t expect that my Bible story about financial freedom will be upvoted by the curators on Hive, LeoFinance, and other front ends, and particularly @leo.voter. Consequently, I got motivated to continue this morning with the third part of this series on The Way to Financial Freedom. I also intend to submit this present article to the Zealy campaign to complete The Writer Quest under Weekly Side Quests.
    Before I proceed, let me just share with you the first two articles I published in this series to provide a sense of continuity. I consider this important to consider the specific context I have in mind to avoid possible misconceptions:


    The Way to Financial Freedom Part 1


    The Way to Financial Freedom Part 2


    After providing the links above to my previous article, I now feel at ease to resume the second part of our content in this story taken from the Old Testament. This time, I want to share an overview of three basic principles taken from Exodus Chapter 1 about the evil of tyranny and oppression.
    Three Basic Principles
    Political oppression is a result of ignorance, vs. 1 -8.
    To apply this insight to our time is unthinkable for our generation prides itself on living in The Information Age. But the kind of ignorance I am referring to based on our story is not the lack of technical or professional information, but the absence of historical knowledge. As the popular saying goes, “Ignorance of the past is bound to repeat its mistake.” And this is the kind of ignorance that we see here.
    For your information, there is a long time gap between the closing of the first book of the Bible, Genesis, and the opening of the second book, Exodus. During that interval, Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died. And at the same time, Genesis concluded with a moderate size of Israel prospering in Egypt while Exodus starts with a nation-sized Israel suffering slavery in Egypt. And the primary cause of this slavery was ignorance of the past. Particularly, it was ignorance of Joseph and how his God saved Egypt and made its name great. Such ignorance resulted in a risky decision that would endanger the future of the nation. Pharaoh committed not only an erroneous economic decision by enslaving productive people but also placed Egypt in great danger by challenging the God of Israel.
    Notice here is the difference between the Pharaoh of Joseph's time and the Pharaoh of Moses' time. Both were kings, but their response to the God of Israel was different. In the case of the Pharaoh of Joseph's day, he acknowledged Joseph's access to accurate secret knowledge, and he honored him and his family, granting Joseph power and authority over Egypt. That Pharaoh bowed down to God's sovereignty and God's word. As a result, God blessed his kingdom.
    In contrast, the Pharaoh of Moses' time was ignorant of Joseph and his deeds and oppressed the Israelites with forced labor. Such a mistake was both an economic disaster and a direct challenge to the God of Israel.
    We see in this story that ignorance of the past is a very dangerous thing. Many people, particularly policymakers, ignore not only the lessons of the past but also the applicability of God's law in our time. As a result of this kind of ignorance, the world now is in a serious crisis. And instead of returning to God and his law and sound economic practice, civil governments continue to despise either knowing or unknowingly the law of God in their destructive monetary and public policies.
    Take for instance the zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and negative interest rate policy (NIRP). Such policies were not only punishing the savers but robbing the people of their savings. These policies discourage saving and promote borrowing. As King Solomon said, "The borrower is a slave to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7). And so, debt is a form of slavery and it is very popular in our time. Today, the entire global economy is operating based on debt. Nations, corporations, and families are immersed in debt. Debt is the modern version of ancient oppression and slavery.
    I think not until our generation will return to the serious study of God's law and apply it to our time, we cannot escape the present crisis. I also believe that the study and application of God's law must first start with Christian families and Christian churches. Through the witness of the Christian Church, society will be changed.
    Oppression is promoted through popular political speech, vs. 9-14.
    Pharaoh said, "Look, the Israelites have become much too numerous for us. Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country." Something is wrong with this political speech. The King didn't like the Israelites, particularly their growing number. The King was afraid that the Jews might join their enemies and leave the country. And so, to prevent the dangers caused by population growth, war threat, and massive exodus, Pharaoh came up with a solution: slavery.
    This is wrong because the Israelites came to Egypt a generation ago as free people. Egypt has been blessed economically through the productivity of the Jews. By making them slaves, Pharaoh was depriving them of their basic human right, to live free. And not only that, Pharaoh expected the Jews to remain productive to contribute to the national economy under tyrannical rule. Pharaoh wanted economic growth despite his violation of God's law. Such public policy would certainly end in disaster.
    All the human capital of the Jews was focused to serve Pharaoh's end. It was such a great waste of human capital. Like Pharaoh, many socialists in the past such as Hitler, Mao Zedong, Lenin, and Stalin committed great mistakes by wasting both the lives and the resources of their people under tyrannical rule. Many central planners these days ignore the lessons of the past and they keep repeating the mistakes of the past. These modern versions of tyranny are wasteful and ultimately self-destructive.
    Again, as God's people, we must know what the law of God says about these things. Without such knowledge, we will unknowingly embrace ideas that are in reality disastrous not only to us and the society at large but also to the next generation. Only the law of God can give us the wisdom to discern whether a political speech is consistent with the teachings of the Bible or not.
    Oppression is justified through unjust laws, vs. 15 – 22.
    Pharaoh thought that by oppressing the Jews, their number would decrease. But the Bible said, "The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so, the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites." Realizing that his original plan failed, Pharaoh came up with another evil plan: to kill the Jewish boy infants. However, the midwives feared God and did not obey what the King told them. This is an example of civil disobedience against a tyrannical law. And so, Pharaoh made a wicked law: throw every boy that is born into the Nile. The law has been weaponized to kill infants. Yes, legislators no longer make laws with the outright intent of killing people, but they are done nevertheless in a more subtle way. A scrutiny of many laws in our time, and you will see how destructive they are to life, freedom, and property.
    Here, political leaders make laws to justify their tyranny and oppression. The order of Pharaoh was legal as far as Egyptian law is concerned. Without the law of God, there is no way we can say whether such a law is just or not. Nations' laws are under God's law. If political leaders are making laws against the law of God, we as Christians should follow what the Hebrew midwives did. In the New Testament, Peter said, "We must obey God rather than men!" Many politicians these days think that the law of God has nothing to say about public policy, and so they make laws and policies, which are contrary to God's law. Popular examples of these include abortion, same-sex marriage, and the current monetary system. In the eyes of God, these are murder, immorality, and theft. By making these kinds of laws, civil governments have made sins legal.
    And so, we see that Exodus chapter 1 teaches us that ignorance of the past results in oppression, popular political speech promotes oppression, and unjust laws justify oppression. This type of oppression did not stop in Moses' time. The spirit of the Pharaoh of Moses’ time still lives especially in a time of crisis where we live right now.
    When governments and politicians ignore the law of God and make humanistic laws and economic decisions, nations suffer from a new kind of slavery. Yes, by knowing the truth that is in Jesus, we are now set free from the power of sin, including legal plunder. And one of its most subtle forms is the existing monetary system of fiat currency. To explain the character and nature of fiat currency would require longer elaboration, which is impossible for us to achieve in this short article. What I intend to do is to offer you a way to understand our current situation for you to find a way out of financial slavery. And there is no better way to do that than to understand what is currently happening in the world of finance and technology. And that will be the topic for the next three articles.
    Grace and peace!

  • "God loves and celebrates life. So must we."

    You make known to me the path of life… (Psalm 16:11)

    For many in America today, the advent of June signals the beginning of what has been labeled “Pride Month” by the activist Left. Originally linked to what is called the “Stonewall Uprising,” Pride Month symbolizes glowing affirmation of LGBTQ identity.

    All June long, corporations and cultural institutions practically trip over themselves to promote their involvement in Pride Month, putting many Christians (or people who simply hold to a traditional sexual ethic) in difficult spots. When we try to watch a show at the end of a workday, our entertainment platforms drive us to Pride Month content. When buying a tube of toothpaste at our local big-box store, Pride Month displays greet us. When we watch sports, teams wear rainbow patches to celebrate Pride Month. The celebration of LGBTQ identity feels ubiquitous, and belies the claim that our public square is “neutral” and closed to assertive worldviews.

    ๐–๐ž ๐‹๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ƒ๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ
    From many angles, the entire tone of June in America has shifted. It is one of aggressive approval of a heart attitude that the Word of God rebukes in no uncertain terms: pride. To be proud in one’s natural instincts and desires is to go against God at full velocity. It is to put oneself under certain threat of eternal judgment. Sin, after all, is at base nothing other than pride — it is choosing one’s way over God’s way, and one’s instinctual desires over God’s eternal truth. How we Christians should tremble and pray for all who exult in Pride Month. How we should reach out to them, and proclaim Christ in love to fellow sinners just like us.

    But we should not stop there. We have our own cause to celebrate in June. Our cause, quite simply, is life. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the devastatingly inhumane court decision that since 1973 has enabled the destruction of millions upon millions of children. In the long annals of public jurisprudence, one can scarcely find a more wicked measure than Roe. Yet in his all-wise providence, God saw fit to strike Roe down right in the middle of Pride Month. What a rebuke! What an otherworldly intervention.

    It’s hard to underplay just how shocking this development was and is. News of the coming overturning of Roe started leaking in early May 2022. Personally, I happened to be flying into D.C. for FRC meetings just as this news broke. It seemed too wonderful to be true: the most monstrously evil decision in modern American history was going to be struck down? The night after word got out, FRC staffer David Closson and I went to the Supreme Court. The tone was one of rage as countless young men and women protested the news. I scarcely knew what to do as David and I wound our way through the huge — and very angry — crowds. Was this real life?

    ๐‰๐ฎ๐ง๐ž ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐‹๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก, ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก
    It was indeed real life. But those days of dazed wonderment are over. Now, as in ancient Israel, have come the days of settled joy. No, the fight against abortion is not over, not by a long shot. But believers should celebrate genuinely God-given victories. We who are saved by grace would be ungrateful children indeed if we did not honor this great outcome in the public square, one akin to the ban on slavery in Wilberforce’s day. Toward that end, here’s my encouragement: all through June, celebrate “Life Month.”

    We should not do so in an obnoxious way. We are not fighting flesh and blood, after all. But in days that feel so dark, God has given us a great victory. This means that June is no longer a month for exalting human pride; June is a month for exalting God’s greatness. It is a time to rejoice in God’s gift of life, natural life, and spiritual life. God is our Creator, making every image-bearer such that every single unborn child has God-given dignity, worth, and purpose. God is also our Redeemer, making dead sinners live through the gospel message (Romans 1:16).

    There is no better message than this. It is far, far greater than the pagan gospel, the message that you will find true happiness by embracing your natural instincts and then finding affirmation from others in them. This is no gospel at all, in reality, and it leads to fleshly captivity. But according to the true gospel, there is a way out of this enslavement. God is not only Creator and Redeemer, but Lord. The risen and ascended Christ rules the cosmos. At present, his rule is a spiritual rule, calling us to forsake the flesh, join the visible church as members, and live by grace as salt and light in this realm. In human pride, there is slavery; in Christ alone, there is freedom.

    Our world loves death, for death is what following the father of lies gets you. But Christians love life, for life is what God delights to form, naturally but especially spiritually. So, in June, I encourage you: celebrate Life Month. Praise God for his grace. Share your celebration on social media. Create graphics and images, and promote them. Do podcasts about this. Don’t be silent; don’t be intimidated by our pagan culture into muteness. Speak, and don’t stop speaking. Pray, and don’t stop praying.

    Start serving at a pro-life work. In fact, work against abortion any way you can, recognizing the murder of an unborn child as a genuine crime, whatever complex factors may lead to the pursuit of one. Calmly engage someone who is celebrating Pride Month, and proclaim Christ to them. Lovingly tell them the truth about sin and the hope that is in Christ. No one is too far gone for God to save them. And no one who is saved is a hopeless case, an abandoned child of God, or too much of a spiritual failure to grow in grace. I repeat myself: for all of us, there is hope, infinite hope, in Christ (Colossians 1:27).

    June is Life Month. It cannot be otherwise. In June 2022, the Lord of heaven and earth saw fit to strike down the chief “right” (and rite) of the liberal worldview in the very month when that worldview was most glorified and praised. What an incredible move this was. God, you see, is not mocked. Nor is God asleep. To the contrary, the living personal God is active and working. This God is the God of dramatic reversals and breathtaking miracles. This God loves and celebrates life.

    "God loves and celebrates life. So must we."

    You make known to me the path of life… (Psalm 16:11)

    For many in America today, the advent of June signals the beginning of what has been labeled “Pride Month” by the activist Left. Originally linked to what is called the “Stonewall Uprising,” Pride Month symbolizes glowing affirmation of LGBTQ identity.

    All June long, corporations and cultural institutions practically trip over themselves to promote their involvement in Pride Month, putting many Christians (or people who simply hold to a traditional sexual ethic) in difficult spots. When we try to watch a show at the end of a workday, our entertainment platforms drive us to Pride Month content. When buying a tube of toothpaste at our local big-box store, Pride Month displays greet us. When we watch sports, teams wear rainbow patches to celebrate Pride Month. The celebration of LGBTQ identity feels ubiquitous, and belies the claim that our public square is “neutral” and closed to assertive worldviews.

    ๐–๐ž ๐‹๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ƒ๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ
    From many angles, the entire tone of June in America has shifted. It is one of aggressive approval of a heart attitude that the Word of God rebukes in no uncertain terms: pride. To be proud in one’s natural instincts and desires is to go against God at full velocity. It is to put oneself under certain threat of eternal judgment. Sin, after all, is at base nothing other than pride — it is choosing one’s way over God’s way, and one’s instinctual desires over God’s eternal truth. How we Christians should tremble and pray for all who exult in Pride Month. How we should reach out to them, and proclaim Christ in love to fellow sinners just like us.

    But we should not stop there. We have our own cause to celebrate in June. Our cause, quite simply, is life. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the devastatingly inhumane court decision that since 1973 has enabled the destruction of millions upon millions of children. In the long annals of public jurisprudence, one can scarcely find a more wicked measure than Roe. Yet in his all-wise providence, God saw fit to strike Roe down right in the middle of Pride Month. What a rebuke! What an otherworldly intervention.

    It’s hard to underplay just how shocking this development was and is. News of the coming overturning of Roe started leaking in early May 2022.

  • IRAN PLAYING WITH FIRE

    The U.S. and Israel are both responding to dangerous new escalations from Iran, this week, in the form of a new ballistic missile and reports on the construction of a potentially bomb-proof underground nuclear facility.

    The Kheibar missile, named after an ancient Jewish fortress conquered by Muslims, is capable of reaching Israel. Iranian defense officials say it can penetrate enemy air defense systems and evade radar detection. To the West, it's considered a dangerous move that can't be ignored.

    "Despite the restrictions on Iran's missile-related activities under UN Security Council Resolution 2231, Iran continues to seek a range of missile technologies from foreign suppliers and to conduct ballistic, ballistic missile tests in defiance of the resolution," said State Dept. Spokesperson Matthew Miller.

    Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Forces keep close watch on all areas of Iran's nuclear development. A top general, recently stated that Israel could soon be left with no choice other than a pre-emptive attack.

    "Iran knows it's playing with fire and they are getting close to what both Israel and the United States are basically messaging is their red line where they won't allow Iran to go any further," former State Dept. Special Advisor for Iran, Gabriel Noronha tells CBN News.

    In what appears to be an effort to gain the upper hand against the West, Iran is reportedly building a nuclear facility deep underground. While it's unclear whether U.S. bombs could reach it, the Air Force recently posted a picture of the GBU-57, a bomb designed for such a purpose. The caption, adding that it's time to test its performance.

    "Just how far each weapon goes, and just how far into the mountain Iran is digging, are going to be closely held secrets by both nations...they don't want to give the other country the upper hand and give them the ability to know whether their strike would work or not," said Noronha.

    He says although diplomacy is not completely off the table, at this point, it doesn't seem to be headed anywhere. Noronha believes to truly sway Tehran, the Biden administration must threaten consequences the Islamic regime won't risk.

    "The United States, now, is starting to get more serious about those messages. And I think that picture of 'Bunker Buster Bombs,' is part of that strategy, and you need to see a lot more of that rhetoric and seriousness coming from both the administration as well as Congress," Noronha said.

    He warns it would be a mistake to underestimate the Iranian regime.

    "The country that chants, 'Death to Israel,' and, 'Death to the United States,' should be taken seriously. I think one of the mistakes made throughout history is not believing dictators when they make a promise in public," said Noronha.

    According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran is already enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels, but the country has yet to announce that it has built a nuclear weapon.

  • ๐—”๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฎ : Human Civilization began in Afar

    The Afar Region is also known for its historic finds of Lucy, the genesis of human ancestors. Scientists believe that human civilization began in Africa and Lucy's remains date back 3.2 million

    The Afar People: Warriors, Artists, and Keepers of Ancient Traditions

    The Afar, also known as the Danakil, is an ethnic group in the Horn of Africa, mainly residing in Eritrea, Djibouti and the Afar Region in Ethiopia. The Afar have acquired a reputation as a warrior tribe due to their involvement in various conflicts in the region over the past centuries. They are closely related to the Omo and Beja peoples, who are their neighboring communities.

    The Afar people are known for their small handcrafted articles made from silver and bronze. They often use metal from used cartridges to create these beautiful pieces of art. This artistic tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and remains an important part of their cultural heritage.

    The Afar people have a rich history and are considered the sister culture of the ancient Ta-Seti people. The Ta-Seti culture is among the founding branches of the eastern Bejaw or Beja People, while the Ta-Antyu (Puntite) Utjenet Culture is the progenitor of the Afari and Tigre cultures. The Land of Punt played a pivotal role in the development of Egypt's pre-dynastic civilization and played a significant role throughout dynastic Egyptian history.

    The Afar people have an economy based on livestock, keeping cows, sheep, and goats for meat and milk, and donkeys, horses, and camels for transportation. A man's wealth is often assessed by how many animals he has. The political system of the Afar people is based on tribal chiefs and warlords.

    The Afar people are mostly Muslim, and their religious beliefs and practices are an important part of their daily lives. They sometimes use a papyrus root called burri, which is mixed with milk to make a porridge. The Afar people's culture and traditions have stood the test of time, and they continue to preserve and celebrate their heritage.
    The Afar language is predominantly spoken by the Afar people in Djibouti, Eritrea, and the Afar Region of Ethiopia as their mother tongue. According to Ethnologue, there are approximately 2.6 million Afar speakers worldwide

  • Homebrewers will soon be able to time travel with their taste buds and brew beer similar to what the Philistines in Goliath’s hometown of Gath drank. Israel Antiquities Authority - used with permission An interdisciplinary team of researchers, archaeologists and brewmasters in Israel first isolated 5,000-year-old yeast in 2019, as published in the peer-reviewed mBio journal in 2019. But now, the fruits of that discovery are about to become available for hobby brewers and sourdough aficionados everywhere, when the first batch of commercially available ancient yeast ships in December. Pre-orders are open now.

    “We want to create an opportunity for every person to connect with this story, with the past, that we as a civilization have carried on for tens of thousands of years since we started fermenting,” said brewmaster Itai Gutman, who previously owned a brewery in Jerusalem and now is the CEO of Primer’s Yeast, the company that is selling the ancient yeast.

    Introduction to Realm in Mir M
    I have been playing the game almost since its launch at the end of February this year. Most precisely, I play the game around the beginning of March and I got hooked from the start. As someone who enjoys playing the game MIR 4 from the same publisher.
    My focus was to keep working on leveling my character, which reached level 43, and working toward level 44. I am exploring the other options the game provides that I have not explored so far. The Realm comes into play because I never take the time to dig into this pleasant feature of the game provides.
    So far, the game provides five sections under the Realm and those are:

    Sealed Tower
    Phatasmic Mystic Realm
    Forsaken Tower
    Unknown Mystic Realm
    Event – Elite Sealed Tower

    Sealed Tower Realm
    You need to choose wisely because you need to enter the Realm base on your Power Score. The combination of all the assets that makes your character more powerful.
    To enter this Realm you need to pay 10000 coins in the game currency. You get it automatically when you fight monsters in the game. The more you have, the more is better. This currency is important for many functions built into the MIR M ecosystem.
    They limit the time to only 1 hour in this Realm and I believe I am going to make a daily routine to play it. The advantage you receive Ancient Coins that you can exchange for items that you need to progress into the game. So far, I need to discover where I can exchange those coins and what I might receive in exchange.
    I keep learning and I am honest that I don’t know everything about MIR M offer.
    Phantasmic Mystic Realm
    You need to be more powerful to play this one in comparison to Sealed Tower Realm. In this Realm in the first stage of the lower level, I discovered the stage was infested with bots. Those who sell gold in the game, and exploit the Darksteel mining. I hate them, but we need to live in coexistence. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t have implemented a mechanism not to allow that.
    Again, you need to pay 10000 coins to access the Realm. I cannot fight many monsters because they are too strong against my current Power Score. I need to stay in a static place, then kill 3 or 4 at the same time. You need to avoid to get killing. At least you have 3 free XP recovering each day.
    What is cool you can remain over 8 hours in this zone. You can as well purchase potions with an NPC available in the zone. So a nice place to level and gather precious items.
    Conclusion
    Exploring and fighting in the Realm in MIR 4 is a feature you need to do if you play. A good place to receive experience points, crafting items, and maybe get nice drops with an excellent piece of equipment for your character.
    It will help increase your hero, get coins, and have fun on the battlefield.

    Introduction to Realm in Mir M
    I have been playing the game almost since its launch at the end of February this year. Most precisely, I play the game around the beginning of March and I got hooked from the start. As someone who enjoys playing the game MIR 4 from the same publisher.
    My focus was to keep working on leveling my character, which reached level 43, and working toward level 44. I am exploring the other options the game provides that I have not explored so far. The Realm comes into play because I never take the time to dig into this pleasant feature of the game provides.
    So far, the game provides five sections under the Realm and those are:

    Sealed Tower
    Phatasmic Mystic Realm
    Forsaken Tower
    Unknown Mystic Realm
