  1. Within the first 2 minutes I am reminded of this verse

    Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh

    This verse sounds prophetic. There may be a record of the number of books published each year on worldometer which I believe is in the order of 1 1/2 million books per year

  2. “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

  3. 8:008:06… these couple of lines made me think of signs and what the Bible says about signs

    Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them

    Matthew 16:3 8:12 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

    2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds

  4. 12:45… "Suppose we should humble Russia. Where would it end?"

    The following are cross referenced verses of Job 12:23, which see

    Psalm 75:6-7
    For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert, / but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another.

    Isaiah 40:23-24
    He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless. / No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.

    Acts 17:26
    From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.

    Jeremiah 18:7-10
    At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed. / But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring. / And if at another time I announce that I will build up and establish a nation or kingdom

  5. 31:1431:38… "But did you read the Times newspaper of Thursday last? You will there see a wonderful instance of how God can scatter the clouds and make them dust of his feet. He has caused to come out of the ground, near Salt Lake, at Utah, thousands of crickets, and all kinds of noxious insects, that devour the crops;"

    The Mormons developed a fabrication regarding this phenomenon. The Mormons claim in the year 1848 they prayed for divine intervention and gulls swooped in and devoured the insects.

    Another God-incidence in my studies of so many websites;
    Just yesterday, July 13th, 2025, I decided to watch the episode of the 1950s show, 'Death Valley Days,' called, 'The Miracle of the Gulls'.

    Some further reading explains that there were likely regular insect populations in the area as there are native gulls that feed on them.

    The Mormons erected a monument to gulls in 1913.

  6. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Praises and thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
    Dear friend, Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ today, and you will be saved from the wrath of God, and you will have true peace and the assurance of eternal life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
