Season 4 episode 1 of The Chosen aired tonight, and I'm so glad I now have a template for this meme that doesn't come from "Joker":

Watch the whole episode on The Chosen App, and start from the very beginning if you haven't seen it yet.

For those unaware, the prophecy tells of a future (for Ezra, the brother of Daniel from the Old Testament) kingdom that was represented by an eagle with 3 sleeping heads. The majority of it gives clues that tie the prophecy to the United States, starting in 1929 with President Hoover (since that's likely when the "Deep State" really got going).

The feathers on the eagle's wings represent "kings", and each feather stands up for a time when they're in power, before lying back down at the end of their term. We can link this to the presidents since Hoover because one of them stands for twice as long as the longest duration of the others (FDR), and others lie back down before their time was supposed to be up (Kennedy, Nixon, Trump, and soon Biden). Lining up all the feathers with presidents, there's a perfect match.

The Kennedy feather goes down before its time because he was assassinated by conspirators. The Nixon feather goes down before its time because he resigned under pressure from the same conspirators. Trump legitimately won the 2020 election due to fraud that was perpetrated by the same conspiracy. The prophecy states that the feather following Trump, Biden, stood for less time than the Trump feather, so this same secret organization will likely cause something to happen to get rid of Biden before his full term is complete.

After that, things get really interesting. Another feather starts to rise, as the next would-be president starts to get ready to take office, but then that same secret organization takes them out, too, before they can officially take office. Then someone else tries to rise to power, but the same thing happens again. That's when the 3 heads begin to wake up.

The 3 heads are not the 3 branches of government, but 3 additional, very very bad dictators that will each take over the United States, rule for a time, then get taken out by the next head. When the 3rd one falls, the eagle kingdom will be destroyed and replaced by a lion kingdom, which represents the Kingdom of God on Earth. It will be a kingdom of freedom and prosperity, repairing all the damage from the previous wicked rulers. As Bitcoiners, regardless of your religious affiliation (or lack thereof), we're building the foundation of that lion kingdom.

Better buckle up.

If you don't know about Ezra's prophecy of the nation that would be represented by an eagle, you should probably look into it, especially after today's events.

It might all be invalidated on 20 January 2025, but if Biden is no longer our president any time before that date, then the prophecy will be verified (again), and we will be very close to the complete collapse of the United States, and the rise of the "lion" kingdom.

It might be worth looking into.

Maybe a little too early, but the right time will be here soon enough.

True story: A couple years ago I thought of one day opening up a "dollar store" type of business, and calling it "The Sat Shack".

My wife hates that name, though. ๐Ÿ˜†

I just returned from a wedding, and gave the happy couple a copy of "21 Questions" as a wedding gift:

The bride was orange-pilled a few years ago, but her now-husband hasn't looked into Bitcoin much.

I included a sticker from nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 so they can continue learning after they're done with the book.

Yep.

The halving happens a little less than every 4 years. If Satoshi had started Bitcoin a little more than a month later, like in mid-February 2009, then with all else being equal, the first halving would've happened in early 2013. And gradually, the halving dates will continue to drift earlier and earlier in the year, until eventually one of the halvings will no longer happen in a US presidential election year.

But by then, Bitcoin will have leveraged that impeccable timing towards its own hyperbitcoinization, and won't need that kind of timing anymore.

Indeed, there are no coincidences.

๐Ÿ’ฏ% correct. Sorry, I didnโ€™t mean to suggest that we donโ€™t need to gather together in Christ, or avoid churches altogether. Jesus said that the two greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbors. How can we love our neighbors if we arenโ€™t fellowshipping with them and ministering to their needs? Plus: โ€œwhere two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.โ€

The truth is that all centralized organizations eventually become corrupt, no matter how pure or noble their intentions were at the onset. But a decentralized network of Followers of the Way โ€” guiding and strengthening each other,and each with an abiding personal relationship with Jesus thatโ€™s rooted deeply in their souls โ€” cannot be corrupted.

Gathering in churches is helpful for us in our efforts to live and bless each other, but only Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation.

Thanks for your comment! ๐Ÿ’œ

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the first, last, and ultimate decentralized protocol.

"๐˜ฃ๐˜œ๐˜ต ๐˜‘๐˜ฆ๐˜š๐˜ถ๐˜š ๐˜ช๐˜š ๐˜ต๐˜๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ฆ๐˜•๐˜ต๐˜Œ๐˜ณ! ๐˜š๐˜ฐ ๐˜๐˜ต'๐˜š ๐˜ฏ๐˜–๐˜ต ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜Š๐˜ฆ๐˜•๐˜ต๐˜™๐˜ข๐˜“๐˜ช๐˜ก๐˜ฆ๐˜‹!"

The point of decentralization is to not have a single point of failure. The Pharisees also thought Jesus was the center of what they saw as His cult, known back then as simply "The Way," and believed that if they had Him killed, that would be the end of it.

Quite the contrary, it only solidified the Gospel. Not because they "created a martyr"; that only solidified Jesus' teachings in the minds of His disciples (which was important, but not part of the Gospel itself). But it was because Jesus had to be killed to rise again and break the bands of sin and death for all of us. His resurrection was the finishing touch to His Father's Gospel protocol.

What is this protocol exactly? To some members of a couple lost tribes of the House of Israel, (some of His "other sheep" - see John 10:16), Jesus taught:

You can think of it like each individual who turns their life over to Christ becoming a "node", with a full copy of the protocol contained within them.

Jesus warned those lost tribes, though, that some people would try to pass off more or less than this protocol as His doctrine:

There are many who claim that repentance or baptism aren't necessary, because God's grace is freely available to all. Many others say that in addition to all that Jesus taught, things like baptism must be done through men who have been given authority by other men, and then that our salvation must be confirmed by our works. Both groups have an element of truth, but neither one is totally true: The first declares less than what Jesus taught, the second declares more, therefore they are both built on a sandy foundation, and not on the rock of Jesus and His Gospel.

This isn't to say, though, that the above quote is all the scripture we need! All other true scriptures delve deep into Jesus' Gospel, to explore and expound on it, but they never remove or add anything to it. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ to all the good that can be said about Jesus and His Gospel.

So, if you're a Bitcoiner who also believes in Jesus, and don't go through any bank to access your money or a custodial bitcoin service to interact with the protocol, why would you go through a church or fallible (even if well-intentioned) human being to access God? Like Bitcoin, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to make you a sovereign heir over ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ God's works (Romans 8:16-17). You don't need to go through anyone else to achieve that level of literally infinite sovereignty. You only need to follow Yeshua Hamashiach Himself, directly, with no intermediaries or trusted third parties. Just you and Him.

In a very real sense, this is The Way.

The teenage boys at my church made their own pizzas for their weekly activity tonight. They were celebrating #BitcoinPizzaDay and didn't even know it! ๐Ÿ˜

(Well, they ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ it, because I told them about it, but none of them seemed to care. ๐Ÿ˜…)

My 12-year-old son just now: "If all babies are like Gabriel [his 4-month-old brother], then I want to have LOTS of kids!"

It's simple wins like this that I cherish most. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

...checks mempool...

Okay, it's not that.

What were you right about this time? ๐Ÿค”
