We are babies.... And aparently destined to die in infancy.

Hi, how ya doin'?

BOY, good thing I passed by with this page already open:

The Midrash states that David was originally supposed to have died through a miscarriage. He was able to survive only because Adam (the first man) bequeathed David seventy of his own years.19 Mashiach, a descendant of David, is called a bar nafli,20 literally translated as the “son of one who has fallen,” or a miscarriage. A miscarriage causes great pain and suffering to the mother and to those close to her.

The role of pain and suffering is an important element of Mashiach’s presence on earth. Because he feels the suffering of the Jewish people, he will pray fervently on their behalf to bring redemption and healing.

King David is known as David ben Yishai—the son of Yishai. It is interesting to note that the gematria of בן ישי, “ben Yishai,” is 372, the same value as the words בר נפלי, bar nafli.

Nun -- The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet

(And that 372 also = scorpion)

Now, where's that "Adam Gadol" hanging out? 😉

On the subject of 70, of wine going in and secrets coming out:

WINE ---> I NEW, because, the K is silent. 🤫

WINE ---> NEW 👁️, because 70: ע.

Hmmm, looks like the sign pins that baby's ID right down to Benoni.

This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.

True that. An argument could be made that China is currently in a "fallen" state relative to the land control they had relatively recently. They currently seem to operate on wounded pride when looking back at what they call their "century of humiliation" and take on a "never again" type attitude.

Contrast that with the U.S. and our leaders' "never again" attitude that's directed over our past when we were "too" strong.

who can win against a corrupt and devious Democrat party reliant on voter fraud and manipulation in the battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada and Pennsylvania?

Doesn't this question pretty much answer itself? You can't win against vote fraud and manipulation. I guess this writer never heard the famous quote (usually attributed to Stalin, though there is doubt that he ever said it):

"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

Thomas Cole, Hudson River School painter, depicted it all graphically in his five paintings, The Course of Empire

The Savage State

The Arcadian or Pastoral State

The Consummation of Empire

Destruction

Desolation

“If you don’t work constantly to maintain something, it will naturally decay”

That is a great and wise saying.

Yes and can something be salvaged in it all? At one time I would have thought so but even the largest GOP states such as Texas are filled to the brim with liberals. How many generations until Texas is blue? The rot is already there. The same thing happened to former red states such as CO and VI. Florida is one happy exception.

My hubby has a saying that “If you don’t work constantly to maintain something, it will naturally decay”.

NOW you've done it!

... now there is no America because there are no Americans, just a collection of people from all over the most non-American, non-European, non-Western places on earth.

And this is why I speak English instead of Cherokee!

Good we need the BIBLICAL REPUBLIC BACK!

But it is the empire that has brought us low, we have a (partially) concealed occupation regime in the capital, promoting filth and perversion all over the world to places that don't want it.

The end of the British empire, it now appears, will destroy England. The end of the French empire, OTOH, has not destroyed France.

The end of the Gay American Empire (GAE) is at hand. Skillful management is needed - and we don't have it.

I think Californians vote to choose our government in about 16 languages.

China never brought in workers from other countries.
This is how Rome began its fall.
