2 Timothy 1: On·e·siphʹo·rus was a true friend that even searched or "diligently looked" for Paul at a time when many others we afraid or "ashamed of the chains". At a time when Paul was low, this brother searched and supported one of the anointed of Jehovah. We can be like him and not be ashamed of their "chains".

Do you like SciFi or historical or classic or mystery? Here is a new one I read that was pretty good : The Midnight Library https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52578297-the-midnight-library

Well, what do we know comes next (next as in - after A election - maybe this or the next or the next, but definitely after one soon)? So, next is the governments, including the USofA giving specific military powers to the UN as they feel this will benefit them somehow. I can absolutely see the soon to be President giving this away IF he feels he personally will get some kind of benefit - even if he knows it means an all out attack on religion. He doesn't care about religion unless HE is getting some kind of benefit; so, let them get taken out as he can't benefit from their votes anymore. You guys could be right - this may all be happening sooner than I thought.

And why I keep a paper Bible in my go bag 👍🏽 And some cash in a Ziploc bag.

Ok, so oil. The US became a "net exporter" during the same pandemic that initially caused crude oil usage to drop dramatically around the planet, but ... It continued to be a "net exporter" for years after: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/imports-and-exports.php Of course, this has more to do with oil companies and their using their existing licenses and leases AND demand than whoever is the current administration. As to "reserves" this is less meaningful than other times in history (as the US can now be a "net exporter" any time the big oil companies want), but ... Best to "sell high" and "buy low". This is exactly what the US does. https://www.energy.gov/ceser/spr-quick-facts Personally, I'm glad I didn't have to pay MORE for gas during that time - thanks to the release, but ... Maybe some would rather have paid more. Ah well.

You mean this "year" not this election "cycle" that began for at least one candidate 9 years ago, right? Edit: and of course most of Trump's money came for the most of moral people that love God and just want to do what is right

And that's really the trouble with statistics isn't it? A person can choose a small piece of information and take it out of context- so, here is the full context on inflation by month: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ You can see that inflation dropped to practically 0 once President Trump shut the country down for 30 days due to COVID - end of March 2020. The first seeds for massive inflation were planted then by almost every country when they did the same AND gave unprecedented government payouts over and over again. Then add in things being shut down with NO plan on how to reopen and you get major bottlenecks of production and shipping. You can see the affect already in March of '21 as people started doing more due to the vaccine rollout that began in Dec 2020. Note: this is the same problem with gas prices - supply and demand which now picked up dramatically. So, yes, a person could pick just a few months before and wink that everything was fine until so and so took over, but that would be our of context. Everything wasn't fine at the end of COVID. In fact, we were all just about to get hit with the second wave of it, not medically but financially. COVID started an awful chain of events that the world is only now digging out of. Edit: just a thought... I still don't think they have any plans for if and most likely when there is another pandemic on how to shutdown AND reopen things. Instead, they'll just point fingers. What a crazy world!

Interesting, my guess is - it'll happen well after President Trump is out of office, but let's hope you are right instead of me.

I heard that the guy who started this thread is pretty dense ... If you know what I mean.

Actualy, that's another point. Some of Trump's donors were just spending their own to get him elected. Much of that wont get reported until later - if at all. On the other hand, if I were Musk and had the opportunity to up my net worth by 10% in just ONE DAY from a small 260 billion to 290 billion by only spending a few million - I would have done that too! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-07/trump-s-election-win-supercharges-net-worth-of-world-s-richest-by-64-billion

Hmm, this isn't passing the smell test for me. This is just one more of the many ways Trump fools people. He has numerous PACs that were working toward his reelection that he started 9 years ago. He would split "his" money up in numerous ways - including for his "defense" fund that also went to the campaign. I am certain he raised more over the last 9 years through all of those PACs and spent way more than Kamala did in 16 weeks. BUt ... anyway https://www.opensecrets.org/2024-presidential-race Edit: per the above - she did out raise him 1.7 billion to 1.1, but that is just 2024. I can't find a good source for dollar figures for him over the last 9 years since he has been running for President. Amazing to think how much $$$ goes to political candidates. Man we need the Kingdom - where $$$ can't be used to by the government.

I don't understand the term "contaminated" in reference to Noah and his sons' wives. Everyone was imperfect and none more than others -so where is the "contamination"? Maybe, it is better for us to not judge one human over another or call one "contaminated" and another not. For that matter, who are we to sit in judgement over ALL of Cain's descendants and call them all violent or contaminated? As to how anyone can make a lineage chart for women whose lineage is NOT listed in the Bible - I have no idea.
