why is the expression "watcher" not in the christian lexicon when it appears repeatedly in the book of Daniel?

i did not expect to see that after reading Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya but there it is

oops, the catholics forgot to notice that one!
My guess is that Christians rarely refer to the watchers because the term is not used in the New Testament. I just looked at the Septuagint, the Greek versions of the Bible that the early Christians used, and the term "watcher" isn't used. It appears that the Aramaic word "Ir", which means "watcher," was simply transliterated or even translated as "angel."
We probably see a lot of the watchers in the Book of Revelation, but the term isn't used and instead they are called angels.
I looked up this **Apocalypse of Yajnavalkaya** and it looks intriguing (except for that "Quaternity" bit; what is that, a substitute for the Trinity? There aren't any openings in the Trinity, as the old joke goes).
It would be better if #Milei and Argentina handled privatization in this way that Doug Casey has recommended:
Is #Milei Actually a WEF Puppet?
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but

I hadn't considered that angle yet in relation to eVTOLs, though I had thought about how self-driving cars could be used to "get rid of" or otherwise control people. But these eVTOLs are also automatically piloted...
This was a great (long) read, especially if you're into flying "cars" like I am.
That's on my reading list as well. I love the Tao Te Ching. I learned that when the Book of John in the New Testament was translated into Chinese, the word "Tao" was used to translate "Logos," or "Word" in John 1:1 which refers to #Jesus Christ. Thus, Christ is the Eternal Dao.
I wonder what's the point of this? Trying to skew Nostr's stats? 🤔
And nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 should probably get a kickback on every transaction, too 😄
I had a similar idea. Here's some bullet points I jotted down a while back:
The value 4 value client
1. Every event/action should cost something, minimum of 1 sat.
2. Costs to post, like, boost, quote, reply, add relays
3. Could charge sats to See More on a note (first part would be like a sample or preview).
4. You receives stats every time your post is boosted or liked.
5. Zaps are split with the person who made the post, the developers, the client you're using, and relay operators.
You can't do this on Damus? You can do this for free on Amethyst
Ok, thanks for the explanation. I thought you could read from any relay, just not necessarily write to any relay. That's good to know.
So I'm not seeing anything when I look at this. Do I have to still be a paying subscriber to nostr.wine to read any of these notes?

True. Thanks for the ⚡!

So do you agree that "governments" are hypocritical in extorting money from their victims (whom they call "citizens"), while prohibiting their "citizens" from doing the same?
