Do you think maybe that there’s a chance you are REALLY, REALLY behind on current events & the statue is the beast? I mean literally. Like the statue sits there until the apocalypse & then it turns out it’s an actual robot that a consciousness can switch into when they decide it’s the right day. I’m sorry to be scary, but It is. It’s not just a warning. This is really happening, just like all those other signs you see are also there. It’s there because it’s supposed to be hidden in plain sight to then be switched on, just like other things/statues/etc hidden in plain sight. You’ve been warned many, many times, but each time until the end there’s always a chance to change the future. It’s never hopeless, but you have to come to terms with the fact this has been right in front of you for a very long time. Do you want to take it seriously or do you want to ignore it till it’s too late? The decision is always in your hands.

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه،عن النّبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏"‏ فضل صلاة الجميع على صلاة الواحد خمسٌ وعشرون درجةً، وتجتمع ملائكة اللّيل وملائكة النّهار في صلاة الصّبح ‏"‌‏.‏ يقول أبو هريرة اقرءوا إن شئتم ‏{‏وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا‏}‌‏. صحيح البخاري حديث ٤٧١٧

Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'A prayer performed in congregation is twenty-five times more superior in reward to a prayer performed by a single person. The angels of the night and the angels of the day are assembled at the time of the Fajr (Morning) prayer." Abu Huraira added, "If you wish, you can recite:-- 'Verily! The recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn (Morning prayer) is ever witnessed (attended by the angels of the day and the night).' (17.78) Sahih AlBukhari 4717

قد بيَّن فى هذا الباب المعنى الذى أوجب التفضيل لشهود الفجر فى جماعة، وهو اجتماع ملائكة الليل، والنهار فيها، ولقد قال عمر بن الخطاب: لأن أشهد الفجر فى جماعة أحب إلى من أن أقوم ليلة، وقد روى أبو هريرة عن الرسول أن ملائكة الليل والنهار يجتمعون فى صلاة العصر أيضًا. قال المهلب: فلما خص الفجر بشهود الملائكة لها، وكان مثل ذلك فى صلاة العصر، وأشبهت الفجر فى هذه الفضيلة، أمر الرسول بالمحافظة على العصر ليكون من حضرهما ترفع الملائكة عمله، وتشفع له. قال المؤلف: ويمكن أن يكون اجتماع الملائكة فى الفجر والعصر هُما الدرجتان الزائدتان على الخمسة والعشرين جزءًا فى سائر الصلوات التى لا تجتمع الملائكة فيها، والله أعلم، وإنما قلت هذا من قول أبى هريرة: سمعت الرسول يقول: (تفضل صلاة الجماعة صلاة أحدكم وحده بخمسة وعشرين جزءًا، وتجتمع ملائكة الليل وملائكة النهار فى صلاة الفجر) ، فذكر اجتماع الملائكة فى الفجر بواو فاصلة، واستأنف الكلام، وقطعه من الجملة المتقدمة، فدل ذلك على أن اجتماع الملائكة يوجب فضلاً ودرجة زائدة على الخمسة وعشرين، فصارتا درجتين للفجر والعصر، ليستا لغيرهما من الصلوات. شرح صحيح البخاري لابن بطال ()

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً وَالْجَمْعُ بَيْنَهَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ أَحَدُهَا أَنَّهُ لَا مُنَافَاةَ بَيْنَهَا فَذِكْرُ الْقَلِيلِ لَا يَنْفِي الْكَثِيرَ وَمَفْهُومُ الْعَدَدِ بَاطِلٌ عِنْدَ جُمْهُورِ الْأُصُولِيِّينَ وَالثَّانِي أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخْبَرَ أَوَّلًا بِالْقَلِيلِ ثُمَّ أَعْلَمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِزِيَادَةِ الْفَضْلِ فَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا الثَّالِثُ أَنَّهُ يَخْتَلِ��ُ بِاخْتِلَافِ أَحْوَالِ الْمُصَلِّينَ وَالصَّلَاةُ فَيَكُونُ لِبَعْضِهِمْ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ وَلِبَعْضِهِمْ سَبْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ بحسب كمال الصلاة ومحافظته على هيآتها وَخُشُوعِهَا وَكَثْرَةِ جَمَاعَتِهَا وَفَضْلِهِمْ وَشَرَفِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ فَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْأَجْوِبَةُ الْمُعْتَمَدَةُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ إِنَّ الدَّرَجَةَ غَيْرُ الْجُزْءِ وَهَذَا غَفْلَةٌ مِنْ قَائِلِهِ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ سَبْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً وَخَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً فَاخْتَلَفَ الْقَدْرُ مَعَ اتِّحَادِ لَفْظِ الدَّرَجَةِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ… النووي على مسلم ()

قال ابن جرير الطبري رحمه الله: " وأما قوله: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ فإن معناه: وأقم قرآن الفجر: أي ما تقرأ به صلاة الفجر من القرآن، والقرآن معطوف على الصلاة في قوله: أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ، وكان بعض نحويي البصرة يقول: نصب قوله: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ على الإغراء، كأنه قال: وعليك قرآن الفجر، إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا يقول: إن ما تقرأ به في صلاة الفجر من القرآن كان مشهودا، يشهده فيما ذكر ملائكة الليل وملائكة النهار، وبالذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل، وجاءت الآثار عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم" انتهى من " جامع البيان " (17/520).

وقال الحافظ ابن كثير رحمه الله: "وقوله تعالى: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ يعني: صلاة الفجر" انتهى من "تفسير القرآن العظيم" (5/102).

وقال القرطبي رحمه الله: "وعبر عنها بالقرآن خاصة دون غيرها من الصلوات؛ لأن القرآن هو أعظمها، إذ قراءتها طويلة مجهور بها حسبما هو مشهور مسطور" انتهى من "الجامع لأحكام القرآن" (10/304). الإسلام سؤال وجواب ()

This Hadīth indicates that a prayer in congregation is twenty five times better and greater than a prayer offered individually. Then, it mentions that the angels of the night and the angels of the day assemble during the Fajr prayer. Thereafter, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) cited in support of this meaning the verse that says: {Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed} [Sūrat al-Isrā': 78]. In other words, the Fajr prayer is witnessed and attended by the angels of the day and the angels of the night. It is referred to as Qur’an here because it is Sunnah to prolong the recitation of the Qur’an therein more than in other prayers, and given the merit of its Qur’an’s recitation, which is witnessed by Allah, the Almighty, and the angels of the night and the angels of the day.

by Dr. Sheila Nazarian

My family immigrated to Los Angeles from Iran when I was a child, fleeing the religious persecution that Jews in Iran are subjected to.I’m thrilled to see the Persian community being recognized for what we bring to the table — for Jews and for America at large. I’ve said for a long time that the American Jewish community has a problem listening to its smaller constituencies, particularly Middle Eastern Jews who don’t vote, act, or look like them. Persian Jews usually hold more conservative positions than the rest of our Jewish counterparts, particularly with regard to foreign affairs and the dangers of radical Islam — but it is because we know these dangers acutely. It did not take the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust for us to see them.

We know these dangers, and have been sounding the alarm about them, precisely because we have lived through and fled them. My family fled Iran, hiding in the back of a pickup truck being shot at by border police, after the Islamic Revolution, when the ayatollahs took the sophisticated, cosmopolitan society I remember from my early childhood and transformed it in a dystopian theocracy that detests women and detests Jews even more. Along with the thousands of other Jewish families who fled, we were among the first victims of the jihadist wave that started then and is still crashing over the world today, with Iran funding the terrorist proxies — from Hamas to Hezbollah — that wreak havoc through the Middle East and hope to do the same to the Western world. 

This is why Persian Jews warn continuously of the evils of radical Islam — we know how it can destroy once-thriving societies until they are unrecognizable, and we know the way this destruction can spread. We understand the pressing, urgent danger that Iran poses to the West, and we understand the need to elect officials and back policies informed by this understanding, even if it means a shift from the traditional American Jewish party line.

On the 10 Commandments:

——-

The Fourth Commandment Explained

———————

People often still debate the meaning of what God’s Commandments are after the numerous translations. The Orthodox Jewish Bible actually contains the transcript of that speech I gave that day in Shemot 20.

And in my own words: If you do not hold anything else, hold & speak my commandments. Let us review the originals as they were intended- the speech with the teaching summary. Any & all attempts to do harm and/or cause suffering by bypassing the Commandments with “loopholes” will be considered with harsh penalty.

“Remember Yom HaShabbos, to keep it kodesh. Sheshet yamim shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the Yom HaShevi’i is the Shabbos of Hashem Eloheicha; in it thou shalt not do any melachah, thou, nor thy ben, nor thy bat, thy eved, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy ger that is within thy gates; For in sheshet yamim Hashem made Shomayim and Ha’Aretz, the yam, and all that in them is, and rested Yom HaShevi’i; for this reason Hashem blessed Yom HaShabbos, and set it apart as kodesh.”

‭‭Shemot‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭TOJB2011‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/130/exo.20.8-11.TOJB2011

Keep at least one good day or Sabbath “set aside” or spiritually different than your other days of the week. Spirituality can mean many things, but ultimately there is an underlying belief that “lifting the soul” or caring for that intangible part of yourself is essential. The intangible is often our intuitions, our feelings, our connectedness to ourselves & the universe & just like how we see that expressed in so many different way across a variety of cultures, Christianity as a practice can also be expressed that way.

You must dedicate at a minimum 1 day out of 7 to rest & having a focus on practices to lift the soul. Your community, anyone that even steps foot near your land as a guest, & those that work with and/or for you must also do the same. That can mean a lot of different practices & not always necessarily the practice of going to church, but ultimately it’s a focus on practices that nourish your soul. God wants you to take care of yourself.

You can find other versions/passages talk about punishment for not holding Sabbath in reverence, but that is for more specific situations. For example, If you claim yourself to be of this God, benefit, and then exploit people by making them work everyday without any rest you will be sinful in God’s eyes.

You have to remember Christianity back when it first was being introduced to people was INCREDIBLY radical in comparison to the way countries were run, the concept of kingship, & it also advocated for the abolishment of slavery.

Many commonly held interpretations of a variety of Christian practices & teachings are a result of the original documents being censored & altered by kings, empires & politics.

It originally was perceived as a disruptive force because it didn’t ask for equality, it demanded it in a tenuous time period of geopolitical instability.

Moses was known as the guy who had freed a bunch of slaves. You really think the political forces that existed during that time frame were really just going to let a “criminal” get up on a public platform & say whatever they want with the risk of him causing more slave uprisings?

Absolutely not. And it changed the world forever.

Look I don't want to criticize religion too much...only TWO of the seven archangels were named?!

Michael and Gabriel, THAT'S IT, the hell?! Way to pass the buck to the next prophet to come up with cool names and powers, its AMAZING the Judeo-Chrisitian-Islamic shared multiverse sells as many books with such sloppy world building.
