What is alot to Tucker? Do you have him in outrage over the 13 soldiers killed in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal?
Thank you for posting this.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"
You are very welcome.
Speaking of the quote you gave, here's the best example I could find to express that. I'm not a fan of the green party, but this is the latest.
It's the least biased clip I can find. Plus I wanted to see the beginning statement that the capital police reacted to. It looks to me like all is in context and additional information was provided..
What a disgrace to the uniform. He broke the law he swore to uphold. I hope he is prosecuted.
Yes agree, seems almost ironic (not sure if that is the word to describe the situation) we have many people from a cross section of the populace who can plainly recognize that there is something wrong with arguments for the necessity of this war, but we have people in "churches" wearing towels around their necks.
Perfect example of how desperate to quash dissent, is it because they have no moral or rational reason for this war...... except for this dystopian idea this evil will stop future evil.
There was no Israel in the first century Israel as a nation or kingdom ceased to exist as a singular nation after the death of Solomon. One became two separate nations in accordance to what God said he would do.
I Kings 11:9-13
9And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 11Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 12Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
In the first century there was Judea which was no nation but a vassal state. A definition of a nation is one that has and uses it's own currency. We know who's likeness was upon the currency that Judea used. Why also a reason the Lord overturned the money changers as Jews believed that Roman money was unclean and had to be exchanged for coins deemed "clean" to be used at the Temple complex. Some sources say that they were ripping them off in the exchange rate. Which God hates crooked scales.
There has been no nation of Israel since the death of Solomon as done by God himself until 1948 when done by God himself the nation of Israel began to exist. So how does something that did not exist in the first century, end?
Also of note the Jews and the disciples had a very distinct understanding of those scriptures and a return of Israel as a nation or kingdom. Christ also known for correcting the understanding of scripture, get thee behind me Satan, you err not knowing the scriptures and the power of God, and etc.
They had a understanding and they directly asked Christ would the kingdom be restored to them at that time.
Acts 1:6-7
6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
restore is the Greek word apokathístēmi which means- properly, restore back to original standing, i.e. that existed before a fall.
kingdom the Greek word basileía- properly, kingdom; the realm in which a king sovereignly rules.
They were not asking about a spiritual kingdom but an earthly one as they understood from the old testament scriptures. Christ is aware just what they are asking and he does not correct them but instead says that is for God to know and is in his own power.
So when was this nation or kingdom of Israel in the first century restored then ceased to exist?

There were tons of northern tribes mixed in with Judah at the time of Christ. The OT speaks to why how and when. Anna was of the tribe of Asher.
The "Remnant" Context
History and scripture (specifically 2 Chronicles 30 and 34) show that when the Northern Kingdom fell, many individuals fled south to Judah to escape the Assyrians and to remain faithful to the Temple in Jerusalem.
By the time of Christ, "Judah" had become a melting pot for:
Judah and Benjamin (The original Southern Kingdom).
Levites (Who served in the Temple).
The Remnant of the northern tribes (Asher, Ephraim, Manasseh, etc.) who had migrated south generations earlier.
The "Twelve" Symbolism
Ezra and Nehemiah emphasize that this was a return for "all Israel," not just the Jews of the south. They use the number twelve to signal that the whole nation was represented:
The Leaders: Ezra 2:2 lists 12 leaders (if you compare Ezra 2:2 with Nehemiah 7:7, the name Nahamani is included in Nehemiah to bring the total to 12). This was a symbolic representation of the 12 tribes.
The Sacrifice: When the Temple was dedicated, they offered 12 male goats as a sin offering "for all Israel, according to the number of the tribes of Israel" (Ezra 6:17).
Unique military strategy of the IRGC, they are ordering soldiers to shoot Iranians! This is a rarely used strategy from the Old West times.
