I see your note, do you see my reply? Your note shows from primal and nos.lol
I highly doubt this will ever happen. It's not at all fair to the massive aging population who are at retirement age now, already having paid taxes their whole life while loosing much of what they saved to infaltion debasement. But these edicts have nothing to do with fair or just.
My hope is in Christ not Trump or his princes.

Wow, Thanks for posting this. postmarketOS looks great, the documentation is outstanding.
"...what are the criteria?", "...why did he create such flawed individuals?", "...what brand of Christianity is the best?"
"it's vague and arbitrary"
"...It is sad that the Christian church has gotten so divided. "
The church has always been divided. Paul wrote to the Corinthians about divisions, that people were saying I belong to Cephus, or I to Paul, or I to Appolos, or I to Christ. Christ exists divided. -
1 Corinthians 1:12
Trying to make sense of twisted doctrine and tradition will only serve to confuse. I think that is why Paul said:
"...and so I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come with an extravagance of speech or of wisdom declaring the sacred secret of God to you. For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and him impaled. - 1 Corinthians 2:2-3
The bible is the preserved word of God. It's not a bunch of stories as some in this thread assert. It is full of prophesy for the future, not just historical record of the past. It contains the answers you seek. It is true and is no lie, and for those truly seeking, it is the annointing from God that is teaching you. - John 2:26-27
However, the truth found in the bible is examined spiritually:
"...physical men don’t recognize the Spirit of The God, because these are just foolishness to them and they can’t understand them, since such things can only be understood spiritually." 1 Corinthians 2:14
Keep on seeking friends.
“...ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you" - Luke 11:9
This is a pretty good example of logical proof. Reasoning.
Was telling someone the other day about nostrudel and applesauce. It made me wonder if it is no strudel becuase you would rather have the apples?
Your work is sweet either way!
By now there are two camps. Those who know covid 19 was a scam, that those who do not want to know.
I appreciate your work, and I'm sure there are many lurking that do too. I have been reading your posts for a long time 😍
The invisible qualities of God are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. - Romans 1:19
Can't wait to try this out, thanks!
Sometimes I’m reading the Bible and see a connection and go off chasing a rabbit trail. I type up my idea to organize my thoughts and see if there is actual Biblical support for it. Although it feels a bit weird to share Biblical ideas that I’m not certain about, it also seems a waste of lots of work to not share my speculations. Feel free to give me feedback if you disagree, especially if you have Scripture or historical evidence showing I’m wrong.
In this case, I’ve seen a portion that seems to be prophecy about our future, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that this entire group of chapters is future predictions. Sometimes prophecy mixes events that happens soon after the prophecy with events that will not be fulfilled until the distant future (like prophecies about Jesus’s first and second comings). I try to be open about what ideas I feel I have strong Biblical evidence to support and when my ideas have some evidence, but not conclusive evidence. This is one of my more speculative posts, but I hope you will find it thought provoking.
I was recently reading Isaiah 18-22. I had always assumed these prophecies of warning were in reference to things that had happened in the distant past (not that I knew any particular historical fulfillment), but this time I saw some major parallels with Revelation.
> Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one said, “**Fallen, fallen is Babylon**; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground.” (Isaiah 21:9) {emphasis mine}
From Revelation:
> And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, **“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great**, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality.” (Revelation 14:8) {emphasis mine}
> And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “**Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great**! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. (Revelation 18:2) {emphasis mine}
Of course it is possible that Babylon and Babylon the great are parallel, but different nations, but the similarity of statement is hard to deny.
> **All you inhabitants of the world** and **dwellers on earth**,\
> As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, **you will see it**,\
> And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it. (Isaiah 18:3) {emphasis mine}
This passage talks about all inhabitants of the world seeing a standard raised. Until the past 20 years or so, this was not possible. Now that almost every person on earth has a smart phone, we can know what is going on around the world in real time. This passage also refers to “*dwellers on earth*” which is a phrase used numerous times in Revelation.
In Revelation 11, it speaks of the two witnesses who testify to Jesus and call down plagues on the earth. After their death:
> And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. **Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look** at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. And **those who dwell on the earth** will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 11:8-10) {emphasis mine}
Both passages refer to those who dwell on the earth and both talk about every person on earth seeing what is happening. This doesn’t sound like a prophecy fulfilled in ancient times, but about a prophecy that could not be fulfilled until modern times.
If these prophecies are about the end times and if the end times are now or very soon, what could they be referring to? Isaiah 18 begins with:
> Woe to the land of whirring wings\
> along the rivers of Cush,\
> which sends envoys by sea\
> in papyrus boats over the water.\
> Go, swift messengers,\
> to a people tall and smooth-skinned,\
> to a people feared far and wide,\
> an aggressive nation of strange speech,\
> whose land is divided by rivers. (Isaiah 18:1-2)
[Cush](https://www.openbible.info/geo/preview/isa.18) was located where modern day Sudan is located on the western edge of the Red Sea. Right across the red sea is Yemen which has been involved in missile and drone strikes on ships in the Red Sea. Traditionally the “*land of whirring wings*” is interpreted to mean locusts, but could it be referring to modern technology like drones? Who is Cush sent to seek? Who are the people “*over the water,*” “*tall*[1](#footnote-1) *and smooth-skinned*,” “f*eared far and wide*,” and “*an aggressive nation of strange speech,\
whose land is divided by rivers*.”? I wonder if it could be the US. The US is over the Atlantic Ocean, “*feared far and wide*,” “*an aggressive nation of strange speech*” (involved in the business of almost every nation on earth), and divided by the Mississippi River (and to a lesser extent the Missouri and Ohio Rivers). The US also likes to act as the world’s policeman and get involved in every international dispute in the world. If Sudan was in fear of attack by the Houthis in Yemen, it would be expected for the US to be called in and get involved.
At the end of this prophecy:
> At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty\
> from a people tall and smooth-skinned,\
> from a people feared far and wide,\
> an aggressive nation of strange speech,\
> whose land is divided by rivers—\
> the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 18:7)
This same nation will bring a gift to Mount Zion (Jerusalem/Israel). The US has been regularly giving Israel weapons to defend itself from attacks by the enemies around it. If this nation is the US, then this would make sense, especially with our change in leadership.
When I read Isaiah 19, it made me think of the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt starting in 2011.
> “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—\
> brother will fight against brother,\
> neighbor against neighbor,\
> city against city,\
> kingdom against kingdom.\
> The Egyptians will lose heart,\
> and I will bring their plans to nothing;\
> they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,\
> the mediums and the spiritists.\
> I will hand the Egyptians over\
> to the power of a cruel master,\
> and a fierce king will rule over them,”\
> declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 19:2-4)
The next part of this passage talks about the Nile drying up and the canals stinking and the fields becoming parched. I did a web search related to drought in Egypt and found an article about drought fears from 2020. The building of the Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile is causing a fear of major drought in Egypt. There are negotiations between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia to deal with this, but it looks like an ongoing issue for Egypt. An interesting fact is that Ethiopia started building this dam in 2011 -- the same year of the Muslim Brother Hood overthrow of Egypt.
The biggest problem with my theory is Isaiah 20, which talks about Assyria leading Egypt and Cush (Sudan) away as captives. [Assyria](https://www.openbible.info/geo/preview/isa.20) was located in what is currently Northern Iraq. It is hard to fathom Iraq conquering Egypt and Sudan. The area of Assyria did include a little bit of Turkey, which would be more believable as a conqueror.
Now we get back to the verses in Isaiah 21, which started this musing. First there is a description of terrorists attack:
> A prophecy against the Desert by the Sea:
>
> Like whirlwinds sweeping through the southland,\
> an invader comes from the desert,\
> from a land of terror.\
> A dire vision has been shown to me:\
> The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot.\
> Elam, attack! Media, lay siege!\
> I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused. (Isaiah 21:1-2)
Elam is the Eastern edge of Iraq on the Border of Iran and Media is in Iran. Could this be an attack from Iran that includes some of its Shia allies in Iraq? What kind of attack could it be – conventional or nuclear? Who are they attacking?
> Look, here comes a man in a chariot\
> with a team of horses.\
> And he gives back the answer:\
> ‘Babylon has fallen, has fallen.\
> All the images of its gods\
> lie shattered on the ground!’ ”\
> My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,\
> I tell you what I have heard\
> from the Lord Almighty,\
> from the God of Israel. (Isaiah 21:9-10)
In ancient times, Babylon was located in the location of modern Iraq, but if we look at the words “*Babylon has fallen, has fallen*,” and associate them with the almost identical words in Revelation, “*Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great*,” and we consider how Revelation also refers to “*Mystery Babylon*” then we are likely talking about an attack on a different nation. (Why would Babylon be a mystery if it was the same people in the same location? It would be a mystery if it was a country and peoples that didn’t exist at the time of the prophecy, but would have the spirit of Babylon in them.) If you take into account my arguments in “[Speculation on Babylon the Great](https://trustjesus.substack.com/p/speculation-on-babylon-the-great)” and associate this nation with the people “*over the water,*” “*tall and smooth-skinned*,” “f*eared far and wide*,” and “*an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers*.” then this could be an attack on the US (I’ll admit there is a fair amount of speculation here). Although the US has become quite anti-God and has been pushing a lot of evil around the world, it still has one of the largest populations of believers in the world. The statement “*My people who are crushed on the threshing floor*” also fits for the US.
I know some people won’t consider the possibility that the US could be Mystery Babylon or Babylon the Great because they can’t consider the US being an evil nation, but the US has been pushing many unbiblical ideas on the nations around the globe, like LGBTQ ideology and abortion. It is also possible I am looking too hard for my own country in the scriptures because if the US isn’t mentioned, then something has to happen to the US before the Tribulation occurs to make the US become unimportant in international affairs. We all have our biases.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on my speculations. I’d also like to hear whether people benefit from my speculations or prefer me to stick to the clear and more easily understood Bible passages and Bible truths.
Trust Jesus.\

your sister in Christ,
This article reads as exploration, not at all like speculation. And the old testament is clearly prophesy for the future as much as for the past. I do not think you should speculate, but comparing Isaiah to Revelation is wise. Both of these point to the kingdom of God.
Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Keep on seeking, you are going down a good path. ❤
Alright nostriches. I finally have enough done and feel comfortable to share my progress on HAMSTR.
You are about to witness perhaps the first ever(well outside of the 2,000 ones I have done testing, lol) nostr note retrieved exclusively over HF packet ham radio.
There is no Internet access on this browser at the moment at all.
It is a client - server setup. The client is fully off-grid. Only the server can connect to the internet. For this test, the server is was roughly 500 feet away using dummy loads on my radios putting out virtually zero watts. Yes, not far, but in theory it would similar at hundreds and even thousands of miles away as well.
This test pulls my most recent notes from my fake dev account following list. In this case 1 note. The number of notes is configurable, but keep in mind HF Packet Radio is SLOW. This one note takes quite a while for just tiny note from nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw. Future versions will have FM Data packets as well, but line of sight FM was not my goal. Global coverage was. HF radio is the only way for that.
Most functionality is now working, just ironing out some things and lots of bugs. Following, global, search, hash tags, npub search display names, are all basically working. Soon replies.
What started out as a project for me to use some social media and take camping and do some off-grid nostr stuff has now morphed into something that I believe will be able to help millions of people be able to bypass oppressive regimes, firewalls, tyranny, and allow them to interact with the nostr network using nothing but ham radios. This could be massive for learning, comms, and overall freedom. Could have a server running in France, and connect to it from Russia or Afghanistan for example. Easily within HF radio reach for half the world.
Much like the winlink email network, I hope people will be able to take my project and setup servers all around the world for people to access, read, write notes, send DM's, use various nostr kinds and even send Bitcoin(on chain offline transactions over HF radio and nostr coming soon).
Lots to come!
Note: pardon the phone screen cap, it isn't quite working fully android Firefox or chrome yet.

This is great. Lots of people have HF radios. I have done packet on VHF but never tried to get it working on HF. Very interested in your project!
Is there a graph anywhere that shows DM compatibility between clients and relays?
Do you have any plans for an 0xchat on desktop? I keep reading about 0xChat and go look but it's only for mobile.
