A highlight from Estad firmes en la libertad | Glatas 5 con Hernan de Juan1Uno
"Saludos, saludos to all those who have listened to this. It is a pleasure to be able to be here with you to simply discuss the book, the book, the book, with the point of view or the way in which each one of us we interpret the book, and today we want two things, first of all, we want to thank Emmanuel for not being with us because of the fact that he was a member of his team, and, as always, with us, it is our pleasure to introduce David Lopez, Andres Marin, Alejandro Pizarro, and one of our executive producers, Paola Reyes. And this is very special, because we have with us the author, Hernán Dálvez, the author of the book, Mission, Gracias y Libertad, and the author of the book, the reform of the IAEU Argentina Uruguay, director of publications, Juan Uno Uno Publishing House. The author, Hernán, welcome to the show. Yes, it is a program where, when I met Hernán Dálvez, I said to the group that we invited Hernán, we wanted to discuss it, we wanted to share with us the impact of the literature and the context in which it was formed, and it is a place to be. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I hope that you have enjoyed it, and with the help of the book, I would like to thank you. I am the author of the book Mission, Gracias y Libertad, and this book is another author. I am the author of the book, The Hero of the IAEU, which is the book that is used in the United States in the country of Uruguay. I have a congregation called San Lucas, which is one of the largest congresses of our church. We are talking about the book, Galatas, and we are in the capital of the U .S. No, no, we are talking about Galatas, I just wanted to comment. I think that the first time we had one person, Hernán, was relevant during this program because he did not want to be able to express the love of the pastor, who is also a pastor, Hernán, obviously. But I think that the work of writing, literature, alternatives to Latin America, has been much more relevant than the mission of a pastor. But I don't know if I would want to be able to express the love of the pastor, right? But I... The love of the pastor, Hernán. It has been a lot of love, but I think that it has been more than that for the rest of the day, because in the editorial, Hernán is one in Latin America. Wow, that's great! Thank you very much, Hernán, that's great! No, no, Hernán. Hernán, well, at the end of the day, Hernán, we are fans of the idea, we are the ministers, we are the leaders who are really trying things that are not one other editorial to introduce. Well, Hernán has done a lot of things. Well, Hernán has done a lot of things. Because I would like to test this idea of this monopoly of theology that existed for years in Latin America where it was only introduced by theology, because the other is inconvenient. And, God help me, thank you, Hernán, for the work that you are doing, there are so many things that are really alternatives. And one of the most important things is that Hernán... Warren, for example, there are so many things that don't exist anymore. I don't know, I don't know if people, I don't know, I don't know if people are more savvy and with the realm of, I don't know, psychology, there are so many people who are doing excellent work but they don't have the strength that the famous pastors have. And the famous pastors are not interesting. It's true, for the world. It's true. Well, thank you very much. I mean, it's... I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. If it's not for the mind, not for the theology. If it's very interesting, what we do in Spain, it's really the aside of us. And also, there are so many things that don't have anything to do with the air in Spain. One of them is the control of the society. If you are in a city where the confectionary is appropriate, if you are publicly, solely, you are not allowed to talk with anyone, you are not allowed to talk with anyone. Nobody is an authoritarian person. Also, I would like to publicate the right, which is an Anglican, I would like to publicate Richard Rourke, who is a Roman post -apocalyptic person, because we are in a conversation about the origins, about the people of the world, and of course, one of the things that comes to mind about their own national or doctrinal space, or their own ideology, which is what I have to say about the land, is that there is no material there. And of course, I don't have to talk with the people of the world that we have to publicate, but we have to publicate the necessity of having a conversation about it. That's a very good question. The question is, why do you have to do something to be able to work on the pen? Why do you have to do something that no one wants to do? do I can the work of my sociopaths, I can do the work of my time. But to be able to do these things, I don't have to talk about the pen, no? Well, of course, but we hope that it will be more. Yes, yes, more, more, more, more. For this year, it's three. It's three. One, I would like to say, the day that I was born here, in Gueses, the day that I was born, in Gueses, I think it was in the academic collection, and it was a dictionary of the same words about the sexuality of Renato Linz. So, in Spanish, as in English, the same words about the sexuality that in the book define a dictionary. These are the words that are in this year. We'll talk about some of them later. How do you like the books? Ah, well, I've had a lot of conversations. I've always thought that the first function of the book is pastoral. The first book that I published, I didn't know it was central to Marko's book. And as I started to ask some questions about the pathetism of the dead, or about the substitution of pen, including with gala, the book that's written in gala, for the first public book that I read, that came out of the space, was very evangelical and very fundamentalist. It was a book that allowed me to exchange a cost for the middle class. We had a book for the last 20 years of the reform, that was made in the core areas, where we participated in different South American parties. There was nothing in Latin America, without nothing, except for the five souls. There were many books that were promoting the reform, but nobody was talking about the five souls. So there was a distinct thought, that we would write about one of the souls. There was also the man with a christological name, a non -Christological name, and we said to the public, this is what I want to say, this is what I want to talk about, and for me, it was a book that had more rights than what we have known for a long time. And think I it's like... The perception? One of the ones in the middle, no? Like Pivote, or one of my ideas, or the other one. What is the meaning of the Christianism? And the friend of mine, I think, that he needed to take care of his behavioral level, for the sake of Chile, in some way, and to support the institutional revolution. It was the first four years, when one of the religions came out here to do something more. And they gave us two letters, two letters and some were written in the name, to what was the third letter. The first, Patrick, is very local, he doesn't have a lot of sense in Latin America. The third one was written all over the world. It's not a bomb, in the name of the reform of sexuality. We had some corridors, but not in the same world all over the world. And the most successful was with the we had to go there, and with this letter we had a lot of sense. It was a very difficult problem. A lot of problems. What? In the end. And this letter was, as I said, when one wrote it, the last letter. Yes, it was a letter from when one wrote it. From when one wrote it. Not too much, but it was written by the people of the city. Fair. But it didn't exist properly. Well, the first letter was written by Richard Rohr, because if it was written by Richard Rohr, we couldn't have written it in the editorial. It's the event, event, event, event, that is universal. Fair. All of them were succeeded by Richard Rohr. We wrote a book, that has been written for 30 copies. In two years. And how did you write it with him? With his book? With Nadiya? No, with his book. The book at the moment of Jesus. Well, the first letter, thank you, was given a nomination to David Cameron Cyrus, and we were at a scene of the recognition of S .E. Sanchez, who was also at the New York Public Library. And it was this invitation, because there was a Congress of Vibilistas, there was a section of the book, and it was written, it was, well, thank you, thank you, thank you, but S .E. Sanchez, Robert, Vibilistas, Vibilistas, and we decided, and we told them, as two years ago, to do it, so we decided to do it, and they asked us to publish this book, that they wanted to show us, and they said that it was written in a book that was always written and they told us that they wanted to publish it. So they told us, they didn't know what it was, they told us, they told us a copy of the book that they wrote, and we proposed that there would be a book that would be that you wouldn't be able to read, and they told us, so they wrote the number, as well. So that's what happened with the book, it was a good one. We'll see. So, and it was a very interesting conversation, it was, It was. It was. I am trying to read the book that will be released in the future, in a book I can't read. In the future, dude! No, but, but in theory, it's really interesting that they told us, and thank you for all the support and for allowing me to do it, I had no idea how much they would allow me to do it, and I was like I can't read it, but But thank you for maintaining yourself and for continuing, Hernan. I want to thank you for the invitation and the desire to receive a message that, in the conviction of the Corazón, the truth is that if others have access to the land, there will be a difference in life. And for that, we thank you very much. So, how do we start? I thought you said you were going to be terminated. No, no. It's only in vocation for the conversation that, as I said, it's my pleasure to talk to you in our conversation, so that people can know the best and know what is important. That is what is important.

Fresh "Emmanuel" from Live Local and Progressive
"The government may shut down Saturday midnight. During a shutdown, millions of federal workers will stop being paid, including members of the military and air traffic controllers. Millions of recipients of government aid may also lose access to benefits, including 7 million women and children who rely on the WIC program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for infants children. and While the Senate is working on a bipartisan proposal to keep the government open, no progress appears to have been made in the House, where far -right lawmakers are in a battle with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The House passed a number of spending bills Thursday night, including a $300 million military aid package for Ukraine, but the bills will not avert a shutdown. This comes as the Washington Post reports a group of far -right Republicans are plotting to remove McCarthy as Speaker as soon as next week. President Biden addressed the possible shutdown in a speech in Olympia, Arizona, at an event honoring the late Republican Senator John McCain. Extremists in Congress are more determined to shut down the government, to burn the place down, and let business be done. During the same speech Biden warned that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement threatens the future of democracy in the United States. There's something dangerous happening in America now. There's an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy. The MAGA movement, they're not hiding their attacks. They're openly promoting Attacking the free press as the enemy of the people, attacking the rule of law as an impediment, formatting voter suppression, and election subversion. Biden's speech in Arizona was interrupted by the climate activist, Kai Newkirk, who called on the president to declare a climate emergency. Excuse my interruption, Mr. President, but I'm compelled by conscience to ask why you have to declare a climate emergency. Why have you yet to declare a climate emergency? Hundreds of people have died. I tell you what, if you shush up, I'll meet with you immediately after this, okay? For climate news, 18 youth activists with the Sunrise Movement were arrested Thursday after they occupied the office of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, demanding he take action the on climate crisis and avert a government shutdown. Despite the imminent government shutdown, the Republican -controlled House Oversight Committee held its first hearing in its impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden Thursday. The hearing did not go as planned as Republicans' the own witnesses, including forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley admitted there's no evidence Biden made impeachable offenses. I do not believe that the current evidence would support articles of impeachment. I am not here today to even suggest that there was corruption, fraud or any wrongdoing. Republican leaders have deemed staffers dealing with the impeachment inquiry to be essential workers so they can keep working and being paid even if the government shuts down. During the House oversight hearing, Republican lawmakers refused to say if former President Donald Trump should be held accountable if convicted. They were asked that question by Texas Democratic Congress member Greg Kassar. Well, members of the oversight committee, please raise your hand if you believe both Hunter and Trump should be held accountable for any of the indictments against them if convicted by a jury of their peers. your Raise hand if you think that equal justice under the law applies and Trump should be held accountable. I think it is worse than embarrassing that Republicans won't raise their hands. They refused to say that equal justice under the law should apply to everyone. A New York appeals court has rejected an effort by Donald Trump to delay his civil fraud which is scheduled to begin Monday. Earlier this week, the trial judge ruled Trump and his Eric sons and Donald Trump Jr. had fraudulently inflated the value of their assets billions by of dollars to obtain loans and lower their insurance rates. This could lead to Trump losing control of some of his most iconic New York properties including Trump Tower where his apartment is.

The United Nations Refugee Agency is reporting more than 2 ,500 people have died or gone missing this year while attempting to cross the Mediterranean to seek protection in Europe. That's a sharp increase over last year when about 1 ,700 migrants died or went or missing. A top official of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees official called on nations to far do more to save lives. All Mediterranean states must urgently step up search and rescue efforts and implement effective and predictable disembarkation mechanisms. Saving lives at sea and providing humanitarian assistance is one of the most basic obligations of humanity and those performing rescue operations or helping in good faith should not be utilized for doing so. In Niger protesters gathered again outside a French military base in the capital Niame demanding an immediate withdrawal of French troops. French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to remove French troops over the coming months. The prominent pan -african activist Kemi Seva of Benin addressed protesters To taste freedom. Every people has the right to taste independence. Every people has the right to regain his dignity. And if France won't let Africans breathe, they're going to force it to listen to us. The former president of Bolivia, Rosales Sanchez de Lozada and his former defense minister have agreed to pay damages to eight people killed during a 2003 massacre in the largely indigenous Aymara city of El Alto.

"You know, there is a world of difference between saying to someone that I am for you and telling them that I am with you. These two things do not mean the same thing. There's a world of difference between telling someone, I'm for you, I'm in your corner, I'm rooting you on, you've got this. There's a world of difference between telling someone that and telling them, I'm with you. In World War I, there was a lieutenant. His troops were getting ready to go over the edge. They were ready to take on the enemy. They were ready to cross the trenches. And this lieutenant, he's anxious. He's nervous about what might happen, and he sees a commander coming down through the trenches. The commander looks at this man, and he can see the anxiety. He can see the nerves there, and so he comes alongside him, puts his arm on him, and he points out. He points out to where they're going. He points out to no man's land. And he tells them, when we go out there, I'm going to be with you. We're going to do this together. And that gave the younger man a sense of confidence. It wasn't the old grizzled veteran just saying, you got this, from a distance, and go do it. Rather, he was saying, I'm going to be with you as you do it. I'm with you in the trenches, and I'm going to be with you in the battle yet to come. As we said, it's one thing to tell someone I'm for you. That's easy. You can do that to anyone. It's another thing to say, I'm going to invest myself in the outcome of what you're going through. I'm going to enter into the crucible of your pain with you, at your side. There's a comfort when a commander or a general does it, but how much more so when a god does that. When god not only gives us a word and says, hey, you got this. I'm for you. I'm in your corner. But rather when he says, I am with you as you face this. There's something encouraging about that. In today's text, it's exactly what we see. In today's reading, the birth of this child, the one who had come from a throne down to a manger. In this text, we see that this one was to be named Immanuel. That this one was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. And that his name literally means God with us. God with us. Not just God for us, but God with us. Verse 23 of our text will say, behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which means God with us. This is one of the primary attributes, one of the primary things that makes our god cool, that makes our god awesome. One of the primary things is because he didn't just create the cosmos, spin it like a top, and then go off and watch us from a distance to see how things would turn out. Rather, from the get-go, from Jump Street, from the garden, that which he created, he dwells with. He creates Adam, he creates Eve, and then he walks and talks with them in the cool of the afternoon. The pagan gods didn't do this sort of thing. They didn't pay attention necessarily to everything that was going on. The god of the deists, the people who think that God is just this aloof god out in the cosmos somewhere that has nothing to do with us, who wants that kind of god? Thank God that's not the god we have. Rather, we have a god who is with us in the midst of everything we're going through. This was true in the garden. It was true at Sinai. It was true in the tabernacle. It was true in the temple. That's true for even us as New Testament believers because where does God reside now? God is with us. Do you know how the book of Matthew closes? Do you know what the very last verse is? Here we see as Jesus is introduced, his name means, I'm with you, God with us, the very last verse in the book of Matthew, the very last block of text in the book of Matthew says the same thing. In the Great Commission, we see this. Go therefore, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, teaching them to serve all the things I've commanded you, and lo, I am with you even to the end of the age. You see that? There's a bookend. The moment Jesus is introduced in chapter 1, the message is that God has come down from the throne to be with his people. And then prior to his ultimate ascension, he says the same thing because I'm going to leave my helper. Oh, and by the way, I am with you even to the end of the age. That's a God we can love. That's a God we can worship. A God who is not just for us but a God who is with us. All right, if you would, let's look at verses 18 and 19. We're going to talk about the God who is with us as we see of his birth. In verses 18 and 19, we're going to see what was going on with Mary Joseph, and then we're going to work our way through the text as time will allow. Okay, verses 18 and 19. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. All right, at the start of this passage, we see something just very ordinary, something as natural as natural can be. There's a woman, an individual who's pregnant, a pregnancy that will lead to childbirth. Very natural, happens all the time. However, in these verses, we see that there's something unnatural or at least unusual that's going to take place. Verse 18 adds an unordinary qualifier. It says that there's going to be a pregnancy, normal, but in this case it will occur without physical union. Now I'm not a physician, but I have studied anatomy and the like, and I know that's just not the way that this works. Well, verse 18, we're seeing the seeds for something that we call the virgin birth, and this is one of the most important things to understand with regards to Christ's birth, with regards to the incarnation, because this is not an average everyday event. Rather, this is a miracle, and it's not just a miracle, but it's a fulfillment of prophecy, because Isaiah said this is the way it was going to go down. Behold, there be a virgin who would give birth to a child. Now verse 18 clarifies it. It's not Joseph's child, and for these verses, we know this much. They're betrothed, but there's been no physical union then. Now if you've seen Fiddler on the Roof, you remember the matchmaker? Remember the matchmaker? Well, they had similar things throughout Jewish history. They would have a season in which people were brought together. This was tradition. They were brought together by matchmakers and parents and others. They were put into a union, and yet there was a year. I know you want to sing it. There was a year of time after they were brought together in which they were sort of betrothed. We might consider it engaged. It's not really a point-for-point analogy, but they were betrothed. They spent a year in this estate prior to physical union. That's what's going on here. It's actually much stronger than an engagement. This is a strong relationship that they have, and yet it has not been consummated physically at this point. And so, all of a sudden, out of the blue, Mary is with child. Uh-oh. Now, we have lost touch with the word scandal. We really have. I mean, dear heavens, everything is a scandal. It doesn't matter what news. Whatever you pick up, there's a scandal on every page from every direction. It seems like every aspect of celebrity or politics or athletics or what have you, scandal, scandal, scandal. We've lost touch with it. In fairness, it didn't always used to be this way. If you're watching a TV show, if Barney Fife stole part of Andy Griffith's sandwich, they can make a whole scandalous episode out of that. There was things in the past that seemed scandalous at the time that now it's absolutely nothing. We've lost touch with scandal to the point we look at this text, and we don't understand what Joseph's going through. And his culture and his time, what he and Mary were just experiencing. She's pregnant, and there's no father. There's been no physical union. He is betrothed to someone who's pregnant, doesn't know what's going on. This was a scandal of scandals. And in his day, based on an understanding of Deuteronomy, this could even have led to her death. This was not a small thing. This is a huge, huge event that's taking place. And so, in verses 18 and 19, we see Joseph in the middle of a conundrum. He's betrothed to this individual who has this situation going on. He doesn't know how it happened. He doesn't know exactly what's going on, but he has concern. Now, he cares for Mary enough that he doesn't want to see this become the public spectacle that it otherwise very well could be. And so he attempts to find some way to accommodate her well-being, but apart from being able to marry her, because he's a just man, and there's obviously been in his mind an infidelity that's taken place that would disqualify that union. Now, before he could act on that impulse, an angel intervenes. Let's look at verses 20 and 21 to see what happens in this intervention. Verse 20, but while he thought about these things, while Joseph thought about all this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she'll bring forth a son, you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All right. As we said in verses 18 and 19, Joseph and Mary, Mary is now pregnant. Joseph is trying to figure out what to do. And in verse 20, we see that while he's contemplating, which I'm sure this took some time for him to work this through, but while he's thinking about these things, he goes to sleep. He's worried, he's anxious, he falls asleep, and in the midst of his sleep, an angel of the Lord comes to him in a vision, in a dream. And this happens at other intervals as scripture as well. And when the angel comes to Joseph, it's a simple message. It says, Joseph, what you think has happened is not accurate. But let me tell you, you're worried you should take Mary as your wife. You shouldn't be. Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't know what kind of theologian Joseph was at this point. We believe him to be older than Mary, but we don't know what kind of theologian he was. But whatever his theology was, he probably didn't fully understand that last statement. That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Joseph didn't have John Calvin around to explain all the Trinitarian implications of this. And I imagine Joseph had more questions than answers, even when he hears this news. And yet he knew this much, even if he didn't have all the Trinity figured out at this time, even if he doesn't know what it means for the Spirit to overshadow her, even if he's still going, what does that mean? He at least knew this much, that Mary's pregnancy was not a function of her sin. He knew that there was not some other father in some tent down the street. He knew that the child that she was pregnant with was from God. And some way that he probably couldn't fully articulate, but he knew it was from God. And then God, through the angel, tells Joseph what to name him. Now naming rites in Jewish culture or any culture come from seats of authority. If you think about it in the garden, in the garden, Adam and Eve, you know, they're given the garden and all the animals are frolicking about as animals do. And Adam and Eve had a job, they actually had a couple of jobs. One was to take dominion over that which God had given them, and another thing was to do what for the animals? To name them, right? The greater names, the lesser, right? That's why parents named children are not children naming parents. Kind of glad it doesn't work that way. In this case, we see that God himself, through the angel, takes ownership over the name of his own son. It's not up to Joseph to name. He says his name will be Jesus. His name will be Jesus. We'll see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. Whatever the case here is, the idea is that as this child is born of the Holy Spirit, this child comes with a purpose. His name will be Jesus because Jesus means what? It means the Lord is salvation. His person is yoked to his work. The angel identifies his person and his origins from God, the Holy Spirit, but he also identifies here's what he's come to do, and we're going to see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. What we're also going to notice here, just a minute, is that when the angel talks about who will come to save his people from their sins, remember last week we talked about this. The people didn't necessarily have a problem with their sins. You know what the great irony is? You give someone a cure for a disease they don't think they have. If you come running up to someone on the streets of Gulfport with a vial of some cure, some medicine, or what have you, for a disease they don't understand they got, they'll just say, you crossed the other side of the street. They won't care because they don't recognize what you're holding is the cure for a problem that they have. The same is true with sin. The culture around us doesn't really think they have a problem with sin, and if they do think sin is a problem, they do this thing that's convenient. They redefine sin to be something that is external to them, a problem other people have. Whatever the case, when people had no understanding that they need to be saved from sin, if anything that they need to be saved from, it was going to be from Rome, which is what we talked about last week. Their fear, their concern, Joseph's concern, Mary's concern, the people down the street's concern was not so much that, oh, my sin is going to get me. And yet, that was the spiritual guillotine that was over their necks and ours apart from this child that was born. Every man, woman, and child has stood condemned under sin. You read the Book of Romans, the first five, six chapters, as Paul is condemning the human race and saying, well, this is our problem. Then, of course, he introduces the solution. Well, the angel introduced the solution too and says, this one has come not just to make your life better, not just to pour a little Jesus seasoning on things to give you your best life now. This one came to this end, to this object, to save you from your sins, to save you from a problem that you might not even understand that you have and that our culture certainly doesn't understand it has. That's why he came, and here's the thing. That's what the whole Old Testament said he would do. The Old Testament said when he shows up, when the Messiah we've been waiting from since Genesis 3.15, when the seed shows up, he will come to save people from their sins, not what they were looking for in the first century, not what they were looking for in the 21st century. And yet the Old Testament prophecy said that's the guy to look out for, one who is not what you expect, one who will come to save you from your sins, one who is not going to come down on a red carpet from God, but will be born in a place like a manger. Isaiah 53, one of the most famous chapters that speaks to these issues, says this. This one would be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace would be upon him. By his stripes we'll be healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to our own way, and the Lord has laid upon him the iniquity of us all. The angel got it, and he says in the manger, Joseph, and in the womb of Mary right now is the one that has come to do just that. And the cruel irony is the people won't be looking for that. As he gets older, they'll reject him. They'll reject what he came to do, and yet this is the one. This is the child. All right, let's take a look now at verses 22 through 25 and just kind of build on this case. Okay, verse 22. So all this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophets, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took to him his wife, and did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. All right, as we just said a moment ago, Christ's person is yoked to his work. The great problem in our age is that our culture doesn't do the same thing. At Christmastime in December, you just watch, people don't have a real problem with the person of Jesus so much. They like cute Jesus, even divine Jesus. That's not really the problem. The problem is his work. He came to convict us of our sins, to turn our hearts to God, to cause us to repent, and to rescue us from sins that most of us don't acknowledge that we have. But in this text, the angel spells it all out. He says this is the reason he's coming. This is the reason he's coming, in order to save them from their sins. And as he saves them from their sins, he will be the fulfillment of prophecies that said he would do just that, which is why even the angel quotes the Old Testament here. End of verse 23. Behold, the virgin shall be with child, shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. There's a continuity you're supposed to see with that which is written down recorded in the Old Testament and that which comes on the scene here in Matthew chapter 1. God wants us to see that, and Matthew was desperate that his contemporaries saw it. Remember, their problem when they killed Jesus was they didn't recognize him for who he was. I mean, they had other issues too, but that was chief among them. They just didn't know what they were doing. Isn't that what Jesus said? Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Same idea. They had a Messiah on their radar that they wanted, and it wasn't this one, this guy. So at Matthew, when he's writing chapter 1, when he's writing to the Jews, he started with the genealogies we talked about last week, and he said, all right, this Jesus is going to be a son of Abraham, which makes him a Jew, and it's going to be a son of David, which makes him a king, or in the line of kings. His objective was to tell the Jewish audience who this Jesus was. Well, here, as chapter 1 continues, he gives the biography even more so, and he says that this one, this Jesus, which means God is salvation, is also named Immanuel, which is an Old Testament prophecy that means God with us. Matthew's making the case, even here in chapter 1, clearly in chapter 1, to a Jewish audience, that this is the Jewish Messiah. Now, would that be compelling? Well, to some, yes. To others, not so much. Now, the past 15 minutes or so, we've quoted Isaiah a few times. I think I referenced Malachi as well, but there in verses 22 through 25, we see the reference again to Isaiah more acutely, more specifically, and this is a reference that to the Jewish audience should have resonated with him, but again, as we just said a moment ago, the irony is that it didn't. The reason that's ironic is this. Matthew knew that many of his fellow Jews had rejected Jesus while simultaneously longing for a Messiah, and his objective here in chapter 1 is to say, hey, guys, they're the one and the saint. The one you rejected is the one you were looking for, and that's what Peter does in Acts 2. He tells the Pharisees, you know the one you killed, the one you nailed to a tree, the one you hung on the cross? That was him, and when they finally get it in the book of Acts, when they finally get that, what happens to them? Scripture says they're just broken to the heart because then they understand what they did. They understand that the light of life had come to them. They didn't recognize it, and then they killed them. As we look to wrap up, we're going to build on all these things as we head towards baptism, as we go towards the temptation, and the things that are going to follow in the book of Matthew, but as we wrap up, I want to return briefly to the word Emmanuel, which we've already established means God with us. Now, earlier I used the term, the term deus. Let me explain briefly. I know many of us know it, but let me explain briefly for those who don't. Every culture, when it comes to religion, there's two camps that they fall in. One, assuming that they believe in God at all, one is the camp of the deist. That camp believes God exists, but we can't know him. He formed the world around us, but then he went off and he does his thing and we do ours. That's deism. As Christians, we're not deists. The alternate is what we call theism. Theism posits that God exists, but you can know him, and what's more, he wants you to know him. You and I are theists, and if you drill into that term even more, we're monotheists. We believe in one God. We're not polytheists that believe in a lot of them. We believe that there is a God. You can have a relationship with him. There is a God and there is just one. Now, that's highly desirable because the alternative is you have a God you can't know that doesn't care about you, and that's what a lot of agnostics in our day do. They go, I think there might be a God somewhere, but they really don't think you can have a relationship with him. Who wants that? Who desires that? Well, the picture in Matthew 1 and throughout the book of Matthew, the picture that's painted here is completely different. It's not about a God who formed the cosmos and went away. Rather, it's a God who is ever-present with creation and undergoes the life experiences, the human experiences that we do up to and including birth. You have a God that can relate to you. You know, one of the greatest hardships or plagues on our age is the plague of loneliness. It's this idea that no one can relate to what I'm going through. The life circumstances have conspired in such a way that I'm going through something that no one can really understand, no one can really relate to, and then there's an isolation that comes with that, even a withdrawal. Maybe some people withdraw from us, and then we're left in this estate. Some of us, maybe many of us, are left in a state of loneliness, maybe for a season, maybe for a lifetime, and it's the hardest thing if you've experienced it. If that's you or someone you know, this message of God with us, and this word of manual should hold a special meaning. Others might leave us, others might forsake us, others might let us down, and yet the God who walked with Adam and Eve, when there was just two of them in the cool of the afternoon, walks with us still. Even we're just one of us. God is with us no matter what we're going through. He's not just munching popcorn, watching what you're going through this week. Some of us have a picture of God that He's up there in the clouds somewhere with a long beard, a long robe, and He's just kind of doing this to see what we do, and He's ready to punish us and the like, and He's there and we're here, and there's this distance. That's not the God of Scripture. The God of Scripture is a God who is intimate and close and wants to be close to you and wants your hand to fit in His. He doesn't call you a peon in the kingdom of heaven. He calls you a son or daughter, and that has meaning. What father or mother among us has not held the hand of our child and felt that proximity, felt that closeness, felt that bond, felt that unity that comes with holding your own? Well, that's what God wants with you. And even now, even if we've been fleeing from Him, His arms are open to this. He came as a babe and a manger, the most defenseless thing that you can possibly come. He came from a state of great glory into a state of great hardship, great difficulty. It would ultimately lead to His death, and yet He did it because He loves His people. He's not indifferent to us. He's not indifferent to us. The other problem that we can sometimes verge into is we can think that He's indifferent to me, but He's cool with other Christians, but I've done something that is so egregious or He knows my past or He knows the things I did yesterday because of that there's this gap. If there's any gap in your walk with God, it's not because He's drifted away from you. It's because you're pushing Him away. The God of this book does not withdraw from children, from sons and daughters, but He's like the parable of the prodigal son. His arms are open wide. Matthew 1, God with us. Matthew 28, God with us. Behold, I am with you even to the end of the age. Whatever you face this week, this book is not an abstract thing that just applies to other religious people or you on occasion. It applies to you today. God's with you as you face whatever you're facing, whatever hardship you're walking down, whatever valley you're traversing, God is with you, and that's a great encouragement of Scripture, and no other faith can present it except this alone. God is with us. We see it in Matthew 1. We're going to see it in Matthew 2 and the balance of the book. Let's pray. Join Dr. Toby Holt and Dr. Dominic Aquila for a tour of Israel in February of 2024.

Spellcaster: The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried
Fresh update on "emmanuel" discussed on Spellcaster: The Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried
"Didn't just talk about digital in his business, his bottom line. That fall, Nikki got invited to an informal discussion held at a boutique hotel in DC. We had about 20 people who've worked in Washington for for 20 years on tech policy, on financial policy, former regulators, former banking executives. Everyone was sitting around a long table in a conference room discussing a Senate bill that would allow crypto exchanges to operate in the US more freely. Sam had been invited, but he wasn't there In the middle of the conversation, the doors to the conference room flew open. And then in walks Sam with a small entourage. And he walks in sits at the head of the table. The conversation stopped the idea that he had so much money that he was going to give a billion dollars in political donations, that his exchange was just killing it was, you know, there was a sense of awe when he walked in. It was like a celebrity to all of us. After taking a seat, Sam launched right into what he was there to talk about. He just starts a liliquy, like, kind of jawboning at the group about what he thought was happening in certain committees where he thought this particular bill was what he thought needed to get done. I was sitting just a couple seats away and I remember thinking, kind of like the Lindsay Lohan character in Mean Girls, she asks this guy an answer to a math question, and then in her head she's like, wrong, you're so wrong. It's wrong. And I kept thinking that because a number of the saying were just wrong. Sam was making a lot of assumptions about the likelihood of this bill getting passed. And none of the tech policy experts could get a word in. After 15 minutes, he and his entourage got up to go. He had a few other meetings to get to. But he had one last thing to say to the group gathered around the table. Before he left the room, he turned back to everyone, and he said, I just want to thank you guys for being so constructive. He said it in a positive way. Like he actually they'd been having a healthy debate. And with that, he and his entourage walked out. And it was like like a mic drop moment, it was sort of it was sort of extraordinary. And the arrogance, considering his expertise, which is minimal in Washington and crowd, this it was just the vibes were really, really off. Confidence appeared to be leading him astray. Up to that point, Sam had been presenting itself to politicians in DC as their homegrown crypto hero, the perfect person to reassure regulators that crypto was not shady and many were buying it. But inside FTX, it was a different story entirely. Discontent was growing among Sam's employees. And the more they saw their boss talking about how great things were, the worse it got. Rebecca Lowe was laid off in November, and she started to hear more and more from former colleagues who are in the same boat. I have a friend saying, oh, I got laid off. tweeted Sam that everything was fine at FTX. There were no job losses. He keeps talking about how everything's great here. We're completely solvent and we've never had any layoffs and we have strategic hires and everybody's where they should be. And it was kind of like, you've laid off a number of people. Honestly, I saw these untruths coming out on Twitter. I was like, you know, I haven't ever seen him lie before. Brett Harrison was having a similar feeling. He was still working at FTX despite his rift with Sam. And every time he logged onto Slack, he could see the anxiety coursing through the company. His team was having a time hard believing Sam's reassurances because none of them had gotten their bonuses. People in the company were starting to freak out. People were depending on those checks for paying rents and for whatever other expenses just weren't coming. In the meantime, the public narrative about crypto was just about layoffs, layoffs, playoffs. By the end of June, the bonuses still hadn't come. Was FTX in trouble? Sam and around others him would just say like, no, that's not what this is about. Sam is just so busy. He has to fly to LA for this. He's going to these conferences in New York and he just was way, way too busy to get to finishing this job of figuring out the bonuses. Sam was busy because was he frantically trying to raise more money. You're listening to Spellcaster, the fall of Sam Bankman -Fried. Stay with us for the Spellcaster takeover on Bloomberg Radio.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Matthew: Emmanuel (Which Means God With Us)
"You know, there is a world of difference between saying to someone that I am for you and telling them that I am with you. These two things do not mean the same thing. There's a world of difference between telling someone, I'm for you, I'm in your corner, I'm rooting you on, you've got this. There's a world of difference between telling someone that and telling them, I'm with you. In World War I, there was a lieutenant. His troops were getting ready to go over the edge. They were ready to take on the enemy. They were ready to cross the trenches. And this lieutenant, he's anxious. He's nervous about what might happen, and he sees a commander coming down through the trenches. The commander looks at this man, and he can see the anxiety. He can see the nerves there, and so he comes alongside him, puts his arm on him, and he points out. He points out to where they're going. He points out to no man's land. And he tells them, when we go out there, I'm going to be with you. We're going to do this together. And that gave the younger man a sense of confidence. It wasn't the old grizzled veteran just saying, you got this, from a distance, and go do it. Rather, he was saying, I'm going to be with you as you do it. I'm with you in the trenches, and I'm going to be with you in the battle yet to come. As we said, it's one thing to tell someone I'm for you. That's easy. You can do that to anyone. It's another thing to say, I'm going to invest myself in the outcome of what you're going through. I'm going to enter into the crucible of your pain with you, at your side. There's a comfort when a commander or a general does it, but how much more so when a god does that. When god not only gives us a word and says, hey, you got this. I'm for you. I'm in your corner. But rather when he says, I am with you as you face this. There's something encouraging about that. In today's text, it's exactly what we see. In today's reading, the birth of this child, the one who had come from a throne down to a manger. In this text, we see that this one was to be named Immanuel. That this one was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. And that his name literally means God with us. God with us. Not just God for us, but God with us. Verse 23 of our text will say, behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which means God with us. This is one of the primary attributes, one of the primary things that makes our god cool, that makes our god awesome. One of the primary things is because he didn't just create the cosmos, spin it like a top, and then go off and watch us from a distance to see how things would turn out. Rather, from the get -go, from Jump Street, from the garden, that which he created, he dwells with. He creates Adam, he creates Eve, and then he walks and talks with them in the cool of the afternoon. The pagan gods didn't do this sort of thing. They didn't pay attention necessarily to everything that was going on. The god of the deists, the people who think that God is just this aloof god out in the cosmos somewhere that has nothing to do with us, who wants that kind of god? Thank God that's not the god we have. Rather, we have a god who is with us in the midst of everything we're going through. This was true in the garden. It was true at Sinai. It was true in the tabernacle. It was true in the temple. That's true for even us as New Testament believers because where does God reside now? God is with us. Do you know how the book of Matthew closes? Do you know what the very last verse is? Here we see as Jesus is introduced, his name means, I'm with you, God with us, the very last verse in the book of Matthew, the very last block of text in the book of Matthew says the same thing. In the Great Commission, we see this. Go therefore, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, teaching them to serve all the things I've commanded you, and lo, I am with you even to the end of the age. You see that? There's a bookend. The moment Jesus is introduced in chapter 1, the message is that God has come down from the throne to be with his people. And then prior to his ultimate ascension, he says the same thing because I'm going to leave my helper. Oh, and by the way, I am with you even to the end of the age. That's a God we can love. That's a God we can worship. A God who is not just for us but a God who is with us. All right, if you would, let's look at verses 18 and 19. We're going to talk about the God who is with us as we see of his birth. In verses 18 and 19, we're going to see what was going on with Mary Joseph, and then we're going to work our way through the text as time will allow. Okay, verses 18 and 19. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. All right, at the start of this passage, we see something just very ordinary, something as natural as natural can be. There's a woman, an individual who's pregnant, a pregnancy that will lead to childbirth. Very natural, happens all the time. However, in these verses, we see that there's something unnatural or at least unusual that's going to take place. Verse 18 adds an unordinary qualifier. It says that there's going to be a pregnancy, normal, but in this case it will occur without physical union. Now I'm not a physician, but I have studied anatomy and the like, and I know that's just not the way that this works. Well, verse 18, we're seeing the seeds for something that we call the virgin birth, and this is one of the most important things to understand with regards to Christ's birth, with regards to the incarnation, because this is not an average everyday event. Rather, this is a miracle, and it's not just a miracle, but it's a fulfillment of prophecy, because Isaiah said this is the way it was going to go down. Behold, there be a virgin who would give birth to a child. Now verse 18 clarifies it. It's not Joseph's child, and for these verses, we know this much. They're betrothed, but there's been no physical union then. Now if you've seen Fiddler on the Roof, you remember the matchmaker? Remember the matchmaker? Well, they had similar things throughout Jewish history. They would have a season in which people were brought together. This was tradition. They were brought together by matchmakers and parents and others. They were put into a union, and yet there was a year. I know you want to sing it. There was a year of time after they were brought together in which they were sort of betrothed. We might consider it engaged. It's not really a point -for -point analogy, but they were betrothed. They spent a year in this estate prior to physical union. That's what's going on here. It's actually much stronger than an engagement. This is a strong relationship that they have, and yet it has not been consummated physically at this point. And so, all of a sudden, out of the blue, Mary is with child. Uh -oh. Now, we have lost touch with the word scandal. We really have. I mean, dear heavens, everything is a scandal. It doesn't matter what news. Whatever you pick up, there's a scandal on every page from every direction. It seems like every aspect of celebrity or politics or athletics or what have you, scandal, scandal, scandal. We've lost touch with it. In fairness, it didn't always used to be this way. If you're watching a TV show, if Barney Fife stole part of Andy Griffith's sandwich, they can make a whole scandalous episode out of that. There was things in the past that seemed scandalous at the time that now it's absolutely nothing. We've lost touch with scandal to the point we look at this text, and we don't understand what Joseph's going through. And his culture and his time, what he and Mary were just experiencing. She's pregnant, and there's no father. There's been no physical union. He is betrothed to someone who's pregnant, doesn't know what's going on. This was a scandal of scandals. And in his day, based on an understanding of Deuteronomy, this could even have led to her death. This was not a small thing. This is a huge, huge event that's taking place. And so, in verses 18 and 19, we see Joseph in the middle of a conundrum. He's betrothed to this individual who has this situation going on. He doesn't know how it happened. He doesn't know exactly what's going on, but he has concern. Now, he cares for Mary enough that he doesn't want to see this become the public spectacle that it otherwise very well could be. And so he attempts to find some way to accommodate her well -being, but apart from being able to marry her, because he's a just man, and there's obviously been in his mind an infidelity that's taken place that would disqualify that union. Now, before he could act on that impulse, an angel intervenes. Let's look at verses 20 and 21 to see what happens in this intervention. Verse 20, but while he thought about these things, while Joseph thought about all this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she'll bring forth a son, you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All right. As we said in verses 18 and 19, Joseph and Mary, Mary is now pregnant. Joseph is trying to figure out what to do. And in verse 20, we see that while he's contemplating, which I'm sure this took some time for him to work this through, but while he's thinking about these things, he goes to sleep. He's worried, he's anxious, he falls asleep, and in the midst of his sleep, an angel of the Lord comes to him in a vision, in a dream. And this happens at other intervals as scripture as well. And when the angel comes to Joseph, it's a simple message. It says, Joseph, what you think has happened is not accurate. But let me tell you, you're worried you should take Mary as your wife. You shouldn't be. Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't know what kind of theologian Joseph was at this point. We believe him to be older than Mary, but we don't know what kind of theologian he was. But whatever his theology was, he probably didn't fully understand that last statement. That which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Joseph didn't have John Calvin around to explain all the Trinitarian implications of this. And I imagine Joseph had more questions than answers, even when he hears this news. And yet he knew this much, even if he didn't have all the Trinity figured out at this time, even if he doesn't know what it means for the Spirit to overshadow her, even if he's still going, what does that mean? He at least knew this much, that Mary's pregnancy was not a function of her sin. He knew that there was not some other father in some tent down the street. He knew that the child that she was pregnant with was from God. And some way that he probably couldn't fully articulate, but he knew it was from God. And then God, through the angel, tells Joseph what to name him. Now naming rites in Jewish culture or any culture come from seats of authority. If you think about it in the garden, in the garden, Adam and Eve, you know, they're given the garden and all the animals are frolicking about as animals do. And Adam and Eve had a job, they actually had a couple of jobs. One was to take dominion over that which God had given them, and another thing was to do what for the animals? To name them, right? The greater names, the lesser, right? That's why parents named children are not children naming parents. Kind of glad it doesn't work that way. In this case, we see that God himself, through the angel, takes ownership over the name of his own son. It's not up to Joseph to name. He says his name will be Jesus. His name will be Jesus. We'll see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. Whatever the case here is, the idea is that as this child is born of the Holy Spirit, this child comes with a purpose. His name will be Jesus because Jesus means what? It means the Lord is salvation. His person is yoked to his work. The angel identifies his person and his origins from God, the Holy Spirit, but he also identifies here's what he's come to do, and we're going to see that a little bit more in the verses yet to come. What we're also going to notice here, just a minute, is that when the angel talks about who will come to save his people from their sins, remember last week we talked about this. The people didn't necessarily have a problem with their sins. You know what the great irony is? You give someone a cure for a disease they don't think they have. If you come running up to someone on the streets of Gulfport with a vial of some cure, some medicine, or what have you, for a disease they don't understand they got, they'll just say, you crossed the other side of the street. They won't care because they don't recognize what you're holding is the cure for a problem that they have. The same is true with sin. The culture around us doesn't really think they have a problem with sin, and if they do think sin is a problem, they do this thing that's convenient. They redefine sin to be something that is external to them, a problem other people have. Whatever the case, when people had no understanding that they need to be saved from sin, if anything that they need to be saved from, it was going to be from Rome, which is what we talked about last week. Their fear, their concern, Joseph's concern, Mary's concern, the people down the street's concern was not so much that, oh, my sin is going to get me. And yet, that was the spiritual guillotine that was over their necks and ours apart from this child that was born. Every man, woman, and child has stood condemned under sin. You read the Book of Romans, the first five, six chapters, as Paul is condemning the human race and saying, well, this is our problem. Then, of course, he introduces the solution. Well, the angel introduced the solution too and says, this one has come not just to make your life better, not just to pour a little Jesus seasoning on things to give you your best life now. This one came to this end, to this object, to save you from your sins, to save you from a problem that you might not even understand that you have and that our culture certainly doesn't understand it has. That's why he came, and here's the thing. That's what the whole Old Testament said he would do. The Old Testament said when he shows up, when the Messiah we've been waiting from since Genesis 3 .15, when the seed shows up, he will come to save people from their sins, not what they were looking for in the first century, not what they were looking for in the 21st century. And yet the Old Testament prophecy said that's the guy to look out for, one who is not what you expect, one who will come to save you from your sins, one who is not going to come down on a red carpet from God, but will be born in a place like a manger. Isaiah 53, one of the most famous chapters that speaks to these issues, says this. This one would be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace would be upon him. By his stripes we'll be healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to our own way, and the Lord has laid upon him the iniquity of us all. The angel got it, and he says in the manger, Joseph, and in the womb of Mary right now is the one that has come to do just that. And the cruel irony is the people won't be looking for that. As he gets older, they'll reject him. They'll reject what he came to do, and yet this is the one. This is the child. All right, let's take a look now at verses 22 through 25 and just kind of build on this case. Okay, verse 22. So all this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophets, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son. They shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took to him his wife, and did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. All right, as we just said a moment ago, Christ's person is yoked to his work. The great problem in our age is that our culture doesn't do the same thing. At Christmastime in December, you just watch, people don't have a real problem with the person of Jesus so much. They like cute Jesus, even divine Jesus. That's not really the problem. The problem is his work. He came to convict us of our sins, to turn our hearts to God, to cause us to repent, and to rescue us from sins that most of us don't acknowledge that we have. But in this text, the angel spells it all out. He says this is the reason he's coming. This is the reason he's coming, in order to save them from their sins. And as he saves them from their sins, he will be the fulfillment of prophecies that said he would do just that, which is why even the angel quotes the Old Testament here. End of verse 23. Behold, the virgin shall be with child, shall bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, which is translated God with us. There's a continuity you're supposed to see with that which is written down recorded in the Old Testament and that which comes on the scene here in Matthew chapter 1. God wants us to see that, and Matthew was desperate that his contemporaries saw it. Remember, their problem when they killed Jesus was they didn't recognize him for who he was. I mean, they had other issues too, but that was chief among them. They just didn't know what they were doing. Isn't that what Jesus said? Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. Same idea. They had a Messiah on their radar that they wanted, and it wasn't this one, this guy. So at Matthew, when he's writing chapter 1, when he's writing to the Jews, he started with the genealogies we talked about last week, and he said, all right, this Jesus is going to be a son of Abraham, which makes him a Jew, and it's going to be a son of David, which makes him a king, or in the line of kings. His objective was to tell the Jewish audience who this Jesus was. Well, here, as chapter 1 continues, he gives the biography even more so, and he says that this one, this Jesus, which means God is salvation, is also named Immanuel, which is an Old Testament prophecy that means God with us. Matthew's making the case, even here in chapter 1, clearly in chapter 1, to a Jewish audience, that this is the Jewish Messiah. Now, would that be compelling? Well, to some, yes. To others, not so much. Now, the past 15 minutes or so, we've quoted Isaiah a few times. I think I referenced Malachi as well, but there in verses 22 through 25, we see the reference again to Isaiah more acutely, more specifically, and this is a reference that to the Jewish audience should have resonated with him, but again, as we just said a moment ago, the irony is that it didn't. The reason that's ironic is this. Matthew knew that many of his fellow Jews had rejected Jesus while simultaneously longing for a Messiah, and his objective here in chapter 1 is to say, hey, guys, they're the one and the saint. The one you rejected is the one you were looking for, and that's what Peter does in Acts 2. He tells the Pharisees, you know the one you killed, the one you nailed to a tree, the one you hung on the cross? That was him, and when they finally get it in the book of Acts, when they finally get that, what happens to them? Scripture says they're just broken to the heart because then they understand what they did. They understand that the light of life had come to them. They didn't recognize it, and then they killed them. As we look to wrap up, we're going to build on all these things as we head towards baptism, as we go towards the temptation, and the things that are going to follow in the book of Matthew, but as we wrap up, I want to return briefly to the word Emmanuel, which we've already established means God with us. Now, earlier I used the term, the term deus. Let me explain briefly. I know many of us know it, but let me explain briefly for those who don't. Every culture, when it comes to religion, there's two camps that they fall in. One, assuming that they believe in God at all, one is the camp of the deist. That camp believes God exists, but we can't know him. He formed the world around us, but then he went off and he does his thing and we do ours. That's deism. As Christians, we're not deists. The alternate is what we call theism. Theism posits that God exists, but you can know him, and what's more, he wants you to know him. You and I are theists, and if you drill into that term even more, we're monotheists. We believe in one God. We're not polytheists that believe in a lot of them. We believe that there is a God. You can have a relationship with him. There is a God and there is just one. Now, that's highly desirable because the alternative is you have a God you can't know that doesn't care about you, and that's what a lot of agnostics in our day do. They go, I think there might be a God somewhere, but they really don't think you can have a relationship with him. Who wants that? Who desires that? Well, the picture in Matthew 1 and throughout the book of Matthew, the picture that's painted here is completely different. It's not about a God who formed the cosmos and went away. Rather, it's a God who is ever -present with creation and undergoes the life experiences, the human experiences that we do up to and including birth. You have a God that can relate to you. You know, one of the greatest hardships or plagues on our age is the plague of loneliness. It's this idea that no one can relate to what I'm going through. The life circumstances have conspired in such a way that I'm going through something that no one can really understand, no one can really relate to, and then there's an isolation that comes with that, even a withdrawal. Maybe some people withdraw from us, and then we're left in this estate. Some of us, maybe many of us, are left in a state of loneliness, maybe for a season, maybe for a lifetime, and it's the hardest thing if you've experienced it. If that's you or someone you know, this message of God with us, and this word of manual should hold a special meaning. Others leave might us, others might forsake us, others might let us down, and yet the God who walked with Adam and Eve, when there was just two of them in the cool of the afternoon, walks with us still. Even we're just one of us. God is with us no matter what we're going through. He's not just munching popcorn, watching what you're going through this week. Some of us have a picture of God that He's up there in the clouds somewhere with a long beard, a long robe, and He's just kind of doing this to see what we do, and He's ready to punish us and the like, and He's there and we're here, and there's this distance. That's not the God of Scripture. The God of Scripture is a God who is intimate and close and wants to be close to you and wants your hand to fit in His. He doesn't call you a peon in the kingdom of heaven. He calls you a son or daughter, and that has meaning. What father or mother among us has not held the hand of our child and felt that proximity, felt that closeness, felt that bond, felt that unity that comes with holding your own? Well, that's what God wants with you. And even now, even if we've been fleeing from Him, His arms are open to this. He came as a babe and a manger, the most defenseless thing that you can possibly come. He came from a state of great glory into a state of great hardship, great difficulty. It would ultimately lead to His death, and yet He did it because He loves His people. He's not indifferent to us. He's not indifferent to us. The other problem that we can sometimes verge into is we can think that He's indifferent to me, but He's cool with other Christians, but I've done something that is so egregious or He knows my past or He knows the things I did yesterday because of that there's this gap. If there's any gap in your walk with God, it's not because He's drifted away from you. It's because you're pushing Him away. The God of this book does not withdraw from children, from sons and daughters, but He's like the parable of the prodigal son. His arms are open wide. Matthew 1, God with us. Matthew 28, God with us. Behold, I am with you even to the end of the age. Whatever you face this week, this book is not an abstract thing that just applies to other religious people or you on occasion. It applies to you today. God's with you as you face whatever you're facing, whatever hardship you're walking down, whatever valley you're traversing, God is with you, and that's a great encouragement of Scripture, and no other faith can present it except this alone. God is with us. We see it in Matthew 1. We're going to see it in Matthew 2 and the balance of the book. Let's pray. Join Dr. Toby Holt and Dr. Dominic Aquila for a tour of Israel in February of 2024.

A highlight from Rudimentos De Este Mundo | Glatas 4 con Flavio Velsquez
"Hello, hello, to all those who do not know, one of the most dangerous, yes, we thank all those who do not know, today is a day of special night, where we are with various people, we are discussing with Andres, which are vacations, and for Andres to talk with us, Danny or Dan, etc. And also, we are discussing with Emmanuel, who is also with us, and we are discussing whether or not he is with us, and whether or not he is with us completely, right? I'm sorry. Hello, hello, hello. Ah, hello, he is with us, he is with us, and as invited of the night, he is with us, and we are also with him, David and Alejandro, and one of our patrons, as always, our new partner, Paul Reyes. Welcome to everything, it's a pleasure to be here, we are discussing Galatas 4, and I would like to tell you that there is a lecture of various versions of Galatas 4, and I would like to start, Adelante. I would like to know if it is a classic version, or a different one? Let's see, we are going to do the classic version, because I'm going to use the differential of the utility, a common version for the album, and what I can do, because I don't think that the production of the song, or the song, or anything like that, I don't have any problems, because it's not easy for Galatas to do it. I understand. I don't think that the version of the song is much better, and there is a version of it that I like. Of course, of course. Of course, because Pablo... Pablo is much better at the normal version, and Galatas, who is Francois in the song, but as always, the song is the version that is best for the album. You are to listen to the podcast. Yes, yes, yes. Let's go to the next live production. Think about it in a different way. If a father and mother, and two children, are their children, those children are not in the best situation that they are in, so they are in the best situation. Because they are the children of all the positions of their father. They have to be the tutors that are assigned to their father. That's why we say it with us, until we find Christ. We are like children. We are the children of the most basic and spiritual principles of the world. If, when it's complete time, the father is dead, he dies of his illness, he dies of a murder, and his son is dead, but his son is dead. He dies on his own, so that when we compare the liberty of what we are of the dead, we find that they can adopt us as their own children. And from the life that we are their children, they die of the spirit of their children, to our own creation, which is what we call the simple -sex -clamor -aba -padre. Now, they are not his children, they are his own children, and as his own children, they are his own children.

Caller: Antony Blinken Needs to Be Impeached
"I'll tell you about that Anthony blinken and the liars every one of them. Do you remember when Anthony blinken was sitting across the table from the Chinese and they were talking, you know, when he first came on and they tore into him about how terrible our country is and everything and Anthony blinken accepted everything they said, yes, our country has problems. Didn't bring up one thing about the Uyghurs, nothing. He's a spineless jellyfish, and he's worthless, and he does need to be impeached and thrown out a secretary. Karen, I don't remember that exact instance with Anthony blinken, though what I do know is that Xi Jinping has been meeting with leaders from all around the world and talking about how he wants to combat global the global hegemony of the United States. He's met with Viktor Orban in Hungary, Gustavo, Petra and Columbia. He recently met with Emmanuel Macron in France and all of those meetings. He has talked about combating the United States, and we have yet to hear any denunciation from President Biden really we have had a meek and weak response on the part of our rulers, so although I'm not aware of that exact incident, it's certainly does not shock me
The Paul Finebaum Show
"emmanuel" Discussed on The Paul Finebaum Show
"Since they got here. Xavi and sori, George is so deep on defense that Xavier, who was a 5 star two years ago, has hardly played his first two years. And people wondering about him jumping in the portal because he appears to be blocked by smile London and Jermaine Thomas Johnson at inside linebacker, but sorry got some snaps this spring and the spring game because mandan was hurt and didn't play. He made some plays. And there's examples like that all over the defense. They've also got some young guys that like some freshmen. They also were missing a bunch of players I mentioned smile London, Micah Williams didn't play. He's a guy who could blow up Trayvon walker style this year. Siobhan bullard, who was their starting nickelback last year and might have been one of the best players on defense, the MV defensive MVP of both the peach bowl and the national championship. It looks like he's moving to safety, which will get him a little bit more snaps. Because he'll be on the field every time this fall. I hesitate to say they will be as good as the 2021 defense or even that they have a chance to be. But I do think they have a chance to be. When you look around at everything they've got coming back the returning production, I only question I have is on the D line. And it's not necessarily because barrel Alexander won't be there because they're still deep. But they have been great on that D line over the last few years. And the commonality in 2021 and 2022. Was Jalen Carter. And the 2021 defense obviously had three first round picks on the D line in addition to that. Do we look back later and say, well, Jalen Carter was that important? That's the one. That's one question I have. I do think though they have enough talent of depth to overcome that. But as good as Jalen Carter is, that could still end up making a difference. Final question for Seth Emerson, Seth. I realize it's April in recruiting rankings are premature, but they also are good trendlines and just my limited understanding or recruiting, I see these rankings and I hear people talk about what Georgia is already doing for next year. It seems taking things to a different level. Can you describe what you're sensing and hearing on the recruiting fronts? Well, it's what we've been seeing the whole time almost since Kirby smart got here. I remember back to the 2017 class, which was the year before they made the national championship game for the first time. That class finished number three and it was a big accomplishment and then they used making the championship game that year to get the number one class. That was the one that had Justin Fields and some other guys in it. And they've just continued it. And I think they're cashing in on back to back championships by being able to have the credibility to continue to go anywhere in the country and at least get in the door. And they don't get literally everybody, but they are one of the favorites if not the favorite for the best quarterback on the board right now. Dylan rola. And I mean, he could commit to Georgia anytime. And that will be a statement to a lot of people that, oh, you know, they can even go get a quarterback. Now what is George going to do with a 5 star quarterback rather than a former walk on and people will say, well, they've signed Justin Fields and documented the Griff and some other and he signed Jacob Eason did too when he first got here. So they're just continuing to recruit as good as it is. It's basically the way they've recruited for the last 5 or 6 years. Amazing story, as always, great stuff from Seth Emerson or the athletics. Seth, many thanks. Appreciate it. We head to the break. We'll talk to one of the top players from the SEC going into the draft a week from tomorrow night from Mississippi state.

Macron's unpopular pension plan enacted into French law
"French president Emmanuel Macron's unpopular plan to raise France's retirement age from 62 to 64 that's been enacted into law. The move comes a day after France's constitutional body approved the change. French government spokesman Olivier said the authorized changes will start being implemented in September, also noting. These past few weeks had to have been difficult for many French people. The government has argued that requiring people to work two years more before qualifying for a pension was needed to keep the pension system afloat as the population ages, opponents such as CGT union secretary general, so PB have said president Macron's plan threatens a hard won social safety nets.

The Breakdown
Is the U.S. Empire Crumbling Before Our Eyes?
"This week is beginning pretty quiet on the crypto front. The FTX bankruptcy estate released a report with not a ton of new info or things that we didn't know, just more lurid details. Now I would say all in all, people's heads are definitely on the bigger issues swirling around. Take for example a post that went quite viral over the weekend from Adam Driver on Twitter, whose profile reads not the Adam Driver from Star Wars. The thread kicks off the empire is imploding and goes through more than 30 recent stories all relating to the supposed collapse or at least radically shifting landscape of the American led global order. A few of atoms examples. Number three Saudi openly divorces USA and ties nuptials with Iran and China. Number four D dollarization trade agreement signed. Number 5 Taiwan strait controlled by China. Number 17, China domestic chip manufacturing advancing rapidly. Number 18 American banking system on brink of collapse. Number 20, mass protesting in Franks, Macron struggling to keep control. 25 swift system alternative developed by Russia slash Iran increasingly being adopted. 26 an unusual increase in train derailments, factory explosions, chemical spills and contamination events across the U.S.. Number 30, demand for Zimbabwe's gold coin skyrocketing following calls by African leaders to stop using the USD as a primary currency. Now, I don't totally agree with all of the characterizations of events in the thread, but that sort of secondary to the broader point, which is that the collection of these things under this framework of the empire is imploding clearly has resonance. So we're going to use that as a jumping off point today for a bit of a geopolitics primer and catch up. And let's start on the themes of trade, China, and changing alignment. Last week, French president Emmanuel Macron and EU commission president Ursula von der leyen visited Beijing to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping. The two European leaders had somewhat diverging interest during their visit. Borderland represented the concerns of the European Union, articulating that continued friendly relations with China were contingent on Beijing refusing to provide material support to Russia in a speech last week ahead of the visit, she said that China's interactions with Russia quote will be a determining factor in U China relations. Underlying stress the goal of quote derisking trade with China, a somewhat softer touch than the American rhetoric of a decoupling, but still strong enough to convey her concern for protecting European interests.

Activists Push to Block the Release of Nashville Shooter's Manifesto
"This headline over from The New York Times over the Nashville shooting. What we know about the Nashville school shooting over The New York Times. This is an actual headline quote investigators were still searching for a motive in the killing of 6 people at the covenant school. Now it's been widely reported that the killer was very specific in why the killing occurred. She had a manifesto. She wrote it all out. She told a friend, apparently in text messages, it'll all be very clear why I did what I did in my manifesto. Do you know they still haven't released the manifesto? There are activists who don't want the manifesto released, and I wonder why. Why would people not want to know what the killer's motive was?

It was very evident and it became very clear he was a disgusting, vile, evil, racist, who wanted to murder black people. And no one had any aversion to recognizing the evil that he was. Why are we unwilling to recognize the evil of somebody who targets a Christian church and school, and yes, there is a church there. That's been completely disregarded by the media.

France braces for violence in new wave of pension protests
"The head of France's largest trade union is calling for mediation to discuss the government's pension reform as France prepares for another day of nationwide protests against the retirement age rising from 62 to 64. Speaking on France into radio, Laurent Berger, the head of the CFDT union, says president Emmanuel Macron should put the retirement reform on hold, while he says we sit around the table in order to see where there might or might not be a social compromise. Burger adds is the political and social choice that has to be put in place. It must be clearly announced that this reform will not be implemented and that we're focusing on a path of discussion Macron has made the reforms the priority of his second term arguing there needed to keep the pension system from diving into deficit as France faces lower birth rates and longer life expectancy.

"Four French president Emmanuel Macron, the look of determination on young faces, only Harold's a deepening crisis, his government, igniting a firestorm of anger that he railroaded a bill through parliament, pushing the legal retirement age from 62 to 64. 17 year old ELISA fagnes is taking part in her first protest in a country that taught the world about people power with its revolution in 1789, and again seething with anger against its leaders graduating from bystander to demonstrator is a generations old Rite of passage. Forehead looks both excited and nervous as she prepares to march down Paris streets to find authority in declaring Noel. Critics accuse Macron of effectively ruling by decree like kings of old, but in the French Revolution, king Louis the 16th ended up on the guillotine. There's no danger of that happening to Macron, but hobbled in parliament and contested on the streets piled high with wreaking garbage. He's been given a tough lesson again about French people power, freshly scrawls slogans in Paris reference 1789. I'm Charles De Ledesma.

Yesterday saw the government table anti strike legislation in parliament as it seeks to minimize disruption from industrial action across a number of sectors, unions on the opposition Labor Party have vowed to fight the plans. French unions have called for a first day of strikes next week in response to a government plan to gradually raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 by the end of the decade. President Emmanuel Macron argues that the change is needed to boost low employment rates among older people and to keep a cap on rising costs for the government. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says the Federal Reserve's rate hikes may need to go beyond what's currently expected. He told Fox business that central banks were slow to the game. We were a little slow getting going. It caught up, I don't think there's any harm done by Wayne three to 6 months to see what the full effect of this is around the world. And the reduction of wages, et cetera. So it is a wise thing to do. I'm on the side where it may not be enough. Jamie Dimon says he's in favor of a pause to see the full impact of last year's rate increases. It comes as we are three weeks away from the next fed meeting and officials are eyeing raising rates to above 5% this year. UK retailers are defying fears of a Christmas sales slump. Sainsbury's expects profits for the year to be towards the upper end of its guidance range 690 million pounds and JD sports say their Christmas results were particularly impressive. His Bloomberg intelligence senior analyst Charles Allen reacting to those numbers. That's effectively defying the thought that there's going to be a big consumer downturn in the coming year because that's pretty bullish guidance. I mean, next, for example, had last week had suggested that their profits would be down this year. And I think for JD Charles Allen our senior retail analyst there, Tesco M and S and asos are set to give trading updates tomorrow. Those are our top stories on the program this morning coming up next we'll be discussing the outlook for markets amid the economic gloom. We're going to be joined by Janet mui head of market and analysis at brew and dolphin as we see your stocks 50 futures.

Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed. On the latest edition of the Bloomberg surveillance podcast, the conversation with Julian Emmanuel quantitative strategist Evercore ISI. The issue is there's a lot of positioning going on in front of Thursday's CPI. So from the aspect of a cap being on risk assets, like we saw basically two hours into yesterday session, it probably does work. But it could be an entirely new narrative after that report comes out. You're shop invented the synthesis of equity analysis and economic analysis. A guy from Texas did this a few years ago. Synthesize right now that enduring Ed Hyman believed that America clears itself like nobody else. We will get through higher rates. We will get through all the tech layoffs and all the other drama. It's out there synthesize the optimism on your floor right now. Well, point blank, Ed has been of the view a good 9 months now that inflation is going to fall faster than the market believes. And thus far, it's starting to materialize. His full year inflation forecast is two and a half percent. The golden two handle. That is an entire new set of circumstances for the fed to deal with if in fact that's right. And that is probably in and of itself the argument for risk assets that we think materializes at the end of the year. At the end of the year. But none at the beginning of the year.

"This morning because French president Emmanuel Macron is heading for a second term after defeating nationalist leader marine le pen in yesterday's runoff Now Macron gets another 5 years to convince French voters his pro business pro Europe vision will work for them Let's get more now joining us live from Paris Bloomberg's Caroline kono Caroline good to have you with us this morning and look at the results beat le pen by a 17 point margin to this American size that looks like a landslide but we got kind of a somber victory speech from last night What's the takeaway There was a huge relief on the shonda mass at the feet of the Eiffel Tower last night where Emmanuel Macron considered his victory for this second Monday for another 5 years but clearly it was not the same loan slide victory that we had back in 2017 at the time he had one with 66% of the votes against that same national value leader marine le pen last night He only won with 58% of the votes So clearly the margin was not as wide meaning that there is a large proportion of the French who felt left behind who felt like he hasn't really dealt with their daily issues when it comes for example to energy inflation the issue of the cost of living or even their concerns about immigration or Europe So clearly this is something that Emmanuel Macron will have to address in his next mandate And there is a sense of responsibility here because last night he said I will address all the French including those who voted for me only to block mine in Japan and including those who are voted for the extreme I am comfortable for what happened because he knows that he will be held accountable if an anti establishment far left or far right candidate gets to power next time in 2027 And it sounds Karolina as though that sort of sets up where the next round of voting is going to happen in just a couple of months here with parliamentary elections How is now president Macron setting the stakes for the parliamentary vote that's coming up Just in a few weeks here This is what everybody calls the third round of these presidential elections meaning the parliamentary elections happening mid June in France because even though Macron got clear majority last time around 5 years ago it may be more difficult this time is a party republic on the move has performed poorly in previous local cities and regional elections over the past couple of years And clearly those who voted against him in this presidential election from the far right of the far left will clearly try and get to majority in order to prevent Emmanuel Macron from really doing the policies he wants to implement over this next 5 years For example Jean Luc melon showing this left candidate who came third in the first round with about 22% of the French votes actually said last night the third one starts tonight He called the French to vote for him In order to get a majority in parliament because if that happens that means Emmanuel Macron will be forced to choose a prime minister which is different from his party And that will actually make it very difficult for him to really govern So the politics continue in France Thanks for this Caroline good having you on with us Caroline Cohen on Bloomberg Paris correspondent joining us from Paris this morning Karen All right Nathan thank you It is 5.

Macron got around 27% of the vote compared with about 24% for le pen the French president tried to rally supporters in a short speech which happened last night The game isn't over and the debate that we will have in the coming 15 days is decisive for our country and for Europe Meanwhile le pen has campaigned hard across the country on the cost of living crisis Tapping in two concern about inflation ahead of the next vote she called on the French people of all political persuasions to join her movement All those who today didn't vote for Emmanuel Macron should join our movement And snap

guerin's this is Bloomberg Danny Leigh Anne Thank you very much Well let's get back to the first story that Leanne was mentioning in its deja vu and France with Emmanuel Macron facing marine le pen in the final round of the French election on April 24th just like in 2017 joining us from Paris now is Bloomberg's all over crook Oliver especially for international audience If you could walk through the results because the polls that I saw basically a lot of the commentary was okay if Macron gets over 25% it's all clear from him And he did indeed get that But there does seem to be this back and forth that perhaps it's not exactly a straight line for him to the presidency That's right Danny There's a degree to which it seems like it was a little bit kind of according to kind of anticipation You know in mind you're in my home versus the nationalist 9 to ten or a kind of rematch of 2017 My homecoming in a 27% which is a bit higher than I think a lot of people anticipated the pen at 24% and then mineral showing the far left over a 21% And so you look at the polls that were taken immediately after this you know in the average of three polls see him still leading by about 8 points But then there was another one that had him leading by only two And that's well within the margin of error And I think that the real question is if we've seen anything we've done anything from this campaign so far is actually a lot can change in a relatively short period of time It was seen as a slam dunk shoo in for my cone just a couple of weeks ago and then that kind of gab began to narrow And I think that that's what we're going to see in the next couple of weeks In terms of the other candidates they move through his way behind le pen predictably he's sort of on the far right And then the others however and this is kind of where it gets interesting I'll show him the far left candidate Again about 20% of the vote did not support my call but said basically you need to do what you can to stop le pen And you heard that echoed overthrow him in a couple of other candidates You had also the elite cuss And the green leader janik is both with 5% calling for their supporters to vote for the pen So that's sort of the lay of the land going into round two April 24th What does it mean all over that we did see some of these far left and of course marine le pen far right candidates get such a sizable amount of support from the electorate Well I think there's a little bit.

I want to be that guy that sticks it but not on the wall and people just pay $200,000 for it. Right. Everyone can cry about the light. If there's somebody that's out here that's, you know, kind of listen to your story and they want to follow kind of in your footsteps. What advice would you give them? I would say honestly speaking, I'm probably one of the most fortunate persons that I know because I would say that because pretty much most things that I do, I succeed. I don't know if there's something special that I'm really doing that is leading me to succeed in most things that I do. But I don't know somehow I usually just pull it off. But I'm also someone that if I decide I'm doing something, I'm going to allow. And if I start something and I know if I realize that, you know, maybe this is not going to work out. I usually pack out Ellie. Once I get deep into it, then you know I'm seeing it right away. For example, like the 360 five project. As by July, I was getting really, really tired. Exhausted. Coming up with a new idea every day is not easy. Right. Plus I have to make this all true artist blogs like creative block artists. I had to find a way to make stuff, you know? But I was also thinking, I'm like, if I've made it this far, there is no way I'm stopping now because then if I start I'm going to regret this for a long time. So that's usually how I approach more things like once I start, I'm going out way. I've learned this a problem that most like I realized that a lot of nature had to have and I used to have these problems. People are afraid to fail. Nigeria are afraid to fail in general because the culture does not really encourage failure in a way where I feel like sometimes feel is very important for you to get the next level. You hear about these scientists with this inventor like made this for 800. You may like 800 different versions before the final one worked. That's not encouraging agriculture. If you do something, you have to succeed at it. Like this idea that 9 out of ten new businesses fail if you start a business in Nigeria and you feel like people, a lot of people are not going to like make fun of you, you know? If I can normal for businesses to start fail. So it took me a while to get comfortable with the fact that not every time I do is going to go to where I want it and so since I have learned to accept that fact, I think my life has gotten a lot better. Yeah. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? What kind of work do you want to be doing? Honestly, I'm not really a 5 year planning kind of person. I fly, I like to take things as they come, so I'm like, okay, plan for the next year..

What do you think you would have went to if you didn't become like an artist and a designer? Program engineer because my dad is an engineer. So even though he was very supportive, maybe my mom was very supportive too. I feel like they kind of, if I didn't go into design, they probably would have stayed in the direction of an engineer. Did you have an interest in it? Or do you think they would have just pushed you towards that because of societal expectations? I never had an interest in it, honestly, I've never had interest in the science in science in general. I don't think this is and I can't think of one profession in science that have any interest in honestly. I've never had interest I think I've always been an artist I've had. And so my uncles, we are against this, how can you make money from the ad? And I was never really worried about money because I always tell people it doesn't matter what you read in university. These people on YouTube now making funny faces I'm making millions. Yeah. They didn't go to school for that. So analysis think that what you go to study and rest is not relevant to how much money you would make or how successful you're going to be, you know? Yeah. I mean, now the whole thing that I see with some artists is that are making money, they're making it off of NFTs. I was reading this kind of some article I read, maybe a couple of weeks ago about this artist. She's Canadian artists. I forget where, but she just started learning about NFTs and about a month or so. And then using that she made, I think like 50 something NFTs and has made like $300,000 or something like that. If you're able to get that much just off of a month's worth of learning, you can kind of do anything. Honestly, I've looked into NFTs a little bit, but I haven't my plan now is have a two week vacation at the end of the year. So I want to use this two weeks to really educate myself and see what I can do because so many people have been telling me you have to look into NFTs. So I'm like, okay, maybe this is something I'm going to look into who knows when maybe that's where I'm going to make it big. Because my goal in art is to make that one piece of art that's going to pay me for the rest of my life. That's my goal..

So I left just one bag. So I've actually never bought my plane together like I have to move now. But then I discovered something. There's so many people that discouraged me from moving. There's a few people that were like, you know what? This is a good move like you're probably gonna like make advancements for moving, put away so many people that were like projecting their fears and telling me, well, if you move down, it doesn't work out and what are you gonna do?

I used a workman that had the CD player all this stuff. VHS, all the stuff that people my age here didn't like experience. Yeah. Out of all of the characters that you did was there a favorite one.

They went really well. So I did at the beginning of 2019, I did the exhibition in an action in May of 2019. I didn't exhibit any small gala record gallery in Halifax. It's at visualized Nova Scotia. So I did that was like the first exhibition that I ever done. So I would consider myself a digital artist. So having to print out my stuff, put it in a frame, hang it on your wall, totally new to me, but that was like a great experience. And that's the first time that I felt like an artist. Yeah, that was amazing. And then I got an exhibit at the Halifax public library last year. Despite the pandemic, I was therefore about two months that's like the gallery days like a very lovely space huge and they only accept, I think like 6 artists a year because each person stays for like two months. So I applied on the accepted almost immediately. So I was beyond my joint. So that was like the big exhibition that had done. I was very good. I made a few sales from that.

I did a podcast where I did recorded episode every day for 365 days called the year of T and I like did these short like 5 minute episodes just reviewing a different tea every day. And I didn't get to whatever dinner would definitely some days that I batched like about a week together, especially if I was traveling or something like that. So I have to give it to you for carving out. I mean, one carving out time to do it each day, but then the fact that you carved out so much time, like you said you were averaging around like three and a half hours a day for these designs. That's a lot of time. So honestly, some days there is a few days where I spent like good 8 hours. I'm like, well, today I'm home sure. Wow. I was in front of my computer for 8 hours, because then these days that I have so much time, I feel like those days, that's where I kind of I put in way too much time and I try to hat. Because I'm like, well, I have a lot of time today, so I'm just going to spend as much time as possible in this. But this day that I only have 30 minutes. And I managed to do something also. And you told me before we started recording that there's like hundreds of characters to choose from, because initially, I was like, there's over 30 to 65 days but I don't care 'cause I was thinking this. I was like there's James Bond. There's probably every Bond girl, every Bond villain. And I felt like it just sort of tops off right there. There was a few people that should have a one scene, so you have to do something for this one person you know, if you maybe they said something funny. So what I did was when I was setting up the list, I spread out the characters because they just like a lot of characters that I want to get to. So I spread them out. So it was those characters that I wanted to get to that kept me going the whole time. I kind of like put them strategically. So like at the beginning of every month, I have like one major character, so like one big field or something like that, you know? There are 200 I have like one big character that I have to work on. It was strategically positioned each one. So the way I started the project, so for the audience one movies and even the recent ones, there's this vector. So each press in that especially from the movies in the 60s, they had like a number. So there's number one number two number three. So that's how I started. And then on day 7, I did James Bond which is 007. So that's how I kind of like. Yeah, like the first few days. But there was little things like that. And so I unintentionally the James Bond Internet space. When you just look up random things on games, about James Bond, like you see my stuff popping up. So that's something that I'm really happy about. Well, I mean, the thing with James Bond movies is that they come out like every few years or so, so.

I stayed there for a couple of years in college, and then afterwards.

Unfortunately that is all still a thing that we have to contend with even this far into the future, but I want to talk about this project that you did in 2018. So you did this sort of like, I guess you could call it like a creative project where you designed or you kind of did these photo manipulations, adding yourself in with James Bond characters. You did this 365 of these. Can you tell me a little bit about that project? Yeah, so the project was not about me adding myself. I think maybe I added myself in two out of 360 five. Oh, okay. But yeah, so basically what if project was the planning side in 2017? I decided I was going to do a 360 five project. This is something that I've always wanted to do, because every year I try to set the goal at the beginning of the year and say, okay, this is something this is my new year resolution and this is how and when I accomplish it. So in 2017, I started working at the hotel in 2016 and the only reason I said, what can I do on television because I needed to get my permanent residence, which is kind of what I think is like the green card kind of similar to your drink at the U.S. and so part of the requirement was that I was required to walk there for like a year and they were kind of the hotel was kind of helping with it. So I pretty much got stuck there. But then I was fresh out of school, like a year, this was a year after I got out of school. But then I'm also thinking, well, I'm going to be stuck here for like a good year at least, maybe two years. I'm not really practicing design. I need practice, because you need to practice. So if you're going to forget to forget. So I was thinking, how do I go about this? But I also have the issue where I was working at the hotel and I had very little time. So in the summer, I did this 2016 creative project where I did something with the alphabet every single day. I did like ABCD, something based on a, something based on BS, just like that..

And so I had about a school and the fund of the school analyn. So I just wanted to go to school because it's cool as I had like you repetition in the ad community. I didn't know anything about Nova Scotia. I didn't know anything about a school. I just give some quick research. It's the smallest place I've ever lived in. I think this is like 300,000 people have. So that was a complete shock at me. It was totally different experience. I just wanted to come to Canada, right? I wanted to come to Canada, U.S., but Canada just seemed to work out better and my dad has all his Canada because he doesn't like America because the guns and you find that most people are just a little bit crazy in America. That's fair. That's a fair assessment. But Halifax also has a pretty big black population too. We've had back on the show, okay, this might have been a hundred or so episodes ago. We had Dwayne Jones back on the show. I think that was episode two O three if I recall. So it was a while ago. But you have to go look for that. He said the same thing. He said that too. Yeah. That's sometimes where I used to work at hotel and Halifax at the front desk. And they were sometimes where they would maybe go was in high, like you read the party, and all this black people would come. And every time I was confused, I'm like, I've never seen this many black people before. You actually have to go look for that. You have to go to a specific place to find them..

"And so what that means is that they are pretty much allowed to get away with whatever they want. So the oil industry is regulated, but it's related to a point. So I remember when I was doing the projects around 2015, I sat down there was average of 1000 oil spills in Nigeria every year. And that's the reported ones. But in Europe, they only had 7 in the last ten years. So that's how much oil spillage happen in Nigeria. And that's because of the illegal practices of mostly shower. So my whole project was focused around how can we create awareness because usually during time you can get a long-term government to do something about it is when it's pressure from international the international community. But the major myth goes like a really good job at hiding this whole problem. There's a good 30 million people this part of nature and this self region of Nigeria. But even when I was growing up in Lagos, you only had about this problem when the people in area act like got upset and then they created like rubber gangs and that is selected kidnapping white oil workers lacks of a ram sum. That's when you study hearing about it. But on a regular basis, you wouldn't like people would die all the time there. There was a huge problem with those huge respiratory problems. Huge pollution issues, not like nothing was ever covered in the news. Or if it was covered, it would not be highlighted report. So the whole focus was how can I create awareness to this problem and then that awareness would force the nature and government to treat the people of that region? Well, and one major issue that Nigeria has and even till now is that even though Nigeria is a federal government, the government is more unitary because I know for example in the U.S. and even Canada here, each province of state has control of its resources and everything. Pretty much. The opposite, even though we also refer a government or federal government, all the states we have 36 states and each states, everything each state generates or makes goes to the center. And then it gets divided at the center to authenticate based on some metric they come up with..

"Like I would say it's pretty much it's a crazy city. Like there's so much going on dad is so much crime so much corruption. But again, even besides all that stuff, there's a lot of art. There's a lot of heritage that comes with it like Lagos is an old city from one of the oldest modern cities in Nigeria. So that is always something going on. So growing up, I wasn't exposed to too much ads in a sense, but I've always known how I've always had the talent to draw. I always knew how to draw. So I was always the finite class and even when I went to high school, which is secondary school manager, you had to pick a set in subjects, a lot of people were not doing a finance. We were very feeding a finite maybe 20 in the class. When I say 20, and this school was a big, I went to a public school. So it was a government publishing controversy was huge. My graduating class had 506 people in it. Wow. Yeah, so it was a big school out of that 560 maybe like 15 or 20 people that I didn't finance. So that was my main exposure to ads. And honestly, the ads are not reasonably supported in Nigeria. I think it's a miracle that's even my parents allowed me to do absolutely. A lot of people were not happy about that because the general belief is that if you're not a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer, you know, making money. So there was always that to battle with. But I would say that honestly, the truth is a lot of access and I'm making money Nigeria. I also think it's the way they present themselves, art is not really respected, but then it's also people making it a lot of money from it too..

"There's a lot of paths here. There's a lot of competition. So it's that little fear there. So I am going to attempt to see to see if I can do some exhibitions next year. If not next year, then maybe 2023. It's a little difficult, given that I have a full-time job and I have my own personal practice. Yeah, but those are the I would say the two main things that I have planned for next year. Speaking of the full-time job, you work for MTL development. You work there as a graphic designer. Tell me about what that entails. What's a regular day look like for you? So the companies real estate development companies the build condos is how can those so essentially my job there is to make promotional materials for the markets in department, essentially materials that help sell these condos. And so for each condo project, we have created an entire brand around that project, and then we then try to create ads and design and space on that brand that we've created. So the company itself has its own brand and then each of the projects has a brand that comes with it. So my job, especially to create those brands and design for those brands that make sure that everyone is doing anything for the brands is adherent to the brand identity. Okay. So like you're doing this for like, let's say like condominium complexes or subdivisions like economy say it's mostly condominiums. Okay, all right, I got you. Sounds like Montreal is probably a pretty booming real estate market then. Yeah, it's pretty boom, maybe not that spike the fact that there was a pandemic. It's still booming. How has it been working during the pandemic? I wasn't really affected too much. I think there was maybe like a one or two month period where my hours were reduced. So we had to go on this program and you would think I would pay you about maybe 20% and the government would be like the rest. So I had to cut down to like 20 hours for about a month or two. But I pretty much worked out for the pandemic. So I worked from home, worked in the office, worked for home again and then now we are back in the office in the beginning of the year. So the job was pretty much on affected, but obviously there was a very. Realistic market was a little bit softer a little bit. So there was a reduced sales. So the marketing was totally a little bit different than what it is right now. Also with the work that you are doing as a designer, you work with another design agency called queer IT, is that right? Yes. Tell me about that. So that job, that's actually the first job that I got in Montreal. So I came in October and then I got a job in November of 2019. And essentially, I saw this ad when hiring looking for graphic designer, because I was just applying for every graphic designer I could see..
