Devocional cristiano de hoy | Al recibir al Señor, hay que evitar caminar por la senda de los fariseos
Hace 2000 años, los israelitas esperaban desesperadamente la venida del Mesías, pero cuando llegó Él, los fariseos lo clavaron en la cruz, al final Israel fue castigado por Dios, y esto llevó a la destrucción de Israel. Ahora ya estamos en los últimos días, y las profecías del regreso del Señor se han cumplido básicamente. El Señor se ha encarnado y se ha convertido en el Hijo del hombre para aparecer y obrar, Él es Cristo de los últimos días, Dios Todopoderoso. Dios Todopoderoso ha expresado millones de palabras y ha llevado a cabo una nueva obra. Pero, al oír la noticia del retorno del Señor, algunas personas se niegan a buscar e investigar, porque creen que todas las palabras y obra de Dios están en la Biblia, y no hay más Sus palabras y obra fuera de la Biblia. ¿Hemos pensado alguna vez si este punto de vista se conforma al hecho de la obra de Dios?
Juan 21:25 dice: “Y hay también muchas otras cosas que Jesús hizo, que si se escribieran en detalle, pienso que ni aun el mundo mismo podría contener los libros que se escribirían”.
El Señor Jesús profetizó: “Aún tengo muchas cosas que deciros, pero ahora no las podéis soportar. Pero cuando Él, el Espíritu de verdad, venga, os guiará a toda la verdad, porque no hablará por su propia cuenta, sino que hablará todo lo que oiga, y os hará saber lo que habrá de venir” (Juan 16:12-13).
El Apocalipsis profetiza: “El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias” (Apocalipsis 2:7).
De esto podemos ver que cuando el Señor venga en los últimos días, expresará nuevas palabras, así pues, ¿cómo podrían estas palabras ser registradas en la Biblia de antemano? Si pensamos que no hay palabras de Dios fuera de la Biblia, ¿cómo se pueden cumplir las profecías anteriores?
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “¿Quién es más grande: Dios o la Biblia? ¿Por qué debe obrar Dios de acuerdo con la Biblia? ¿Podría ser que Dios mismo no tuviera derecho de sobrepasar la Biblia? ¿No puede salirse Dios de la Biblia y hacer otra obra? ¿Por qué no guardaban el día de reposo Jesús y Sus discípulos? Si debía guardar el día de reposo y practicar según los mandamientos del Antiguo Testamento, ¿por qué no lo hizo Jesús después de venir, sino que en su lugar lavó pies, cubrió cabezas, partió pan y bebió vino? ¿No está todo esto ausente de los mandamientos del Antiguo Testamento? Si Jesús honraba el Antiguo Testamento, ¿por qué terminó con estas doctrinas? Deberías saber qué vino primero, ¡Dios o la Biblia! Si era el Señor del día de reposo, ¿no podría ser también el de la Biblia?”.
“El hecho que estoy explicando aquí es este: lo que Dios es y tiene es inagotable e ilimitado por siempre. Dios es la fuente de la vida y de todas las cosas. Dios no puede ser dimensionado por ningún ser creado. Por último, debo todavía recordar a todos: no delimitéis otra vez a Dios en libros, palabras o en Sus declaraciones pasadas. Hay una sola palabra para la característica de la obra de Dios: nueva. A Él no le gusta tomar caminos antiguos o repetir Su obra, y mucho menos quiere que la gente lo adore mientras que lo delimita a un cierto ámbito. Este es el carácter de Dios”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
Las palabras de Dios nos dicen con claridad que Él es la fuente del agua viva, que el contenido registrado en la Biblia es limitado y que Él no obra de acuerdo con la Biblia. Si pensamos que todas las palabras de Dios están en la Biblia y nos negamos a aceptar las declaraciones del Señor regresado, entonces ¿no nos convertiremos en personas que esperan el regreso del Señor Jesús pero se resisten a Su venida? En el momento crítico en que damos la bienvenida al Señor, ¿cómo debemos evitar repetir el camino de los fariseos y recibir al Señor cuanto antes?

The Maroon Bells is a mountain in the Elk Mountains that consists of two peaks, South Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about a third of a mile. The mountain is on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County, Colorado, United States, about 12 miles southwest of Aspen. Both peaks are counted as fourteeners. Maroon Peak, at 14,156 feet, is the 27th highest peak in Colorado; North Maroon Peak, at 14,014 feet, is the 50th highest. The view of the Maroon Bells from the Maroon Creek valley to the northeast is one of the most famous scenes in Colorado, and is reputed to be the "most-photographed spot in Colorado" and one of Colorado's premier scenic overlooks.
A National Park Service sign on the access trail refers to these mountains as "The Deadly Bells" and warns would-be climbers of "downsloping, loose, rotten and unstable" rock that "kills without warning". Unlike other mountains in the Rockies that are composed of granite and limestone, the Bells are composed of metamorphic sedimentary mudstone that has hardened into rock over millions of years. Mudstone is weak and fractures readily, giving rise to dangerously loose rock along almost any route. The mudstone is responsible for the Bells' distinctive maroon color. The Bells got their "deadly" name in 1965 when eight people died in five separate accidents.
Maroon Lake (9,580') provides one of the most memorable scenes in the Rockies. The lake occupies a basin that was sculpted by Ice-Age glaciers and later dammed by landslide and rockfall debris from the steep slopes above the valley floor. (Wikipedia)
Christian Movie Trailer "The People of the Heavenly Kingdom" | How to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven www.holyspiritspeaks.org/special-topic/people-of-the-heav...
Synopsis:
The Lord Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). The Lord Jesus told us that only honest people can enter the kingdom of heaven; only honest people can be people of the kingdom. This movie tells the story of the Christian Cheng Nuo's experience of God's work and the course of her pursuit to become an honest person in life.
Cheng Nuo used to be a doctor. Even after believing in God, when she encounters things that impinge on her own interest and face in her day-to-day life, she still can't help but lie and deceive. In the face of trials and tribulations she even develops misunderstandings and gripes about God, but through seeking the truth time after time and undergoing the judgment and chastisement of God's words, she gains an understanding of the root of her dishonesty and her selfish, slippery satanic nature. She begins to focus on pursuing the truth to resolve her tendency to lie and the dishonesty in her heart. Later when she is arrested by the Chinese Communist Party government while performing her duty and suffers devastating torture, she is ready to die before telling a lie and refuses to deny God. She bears a beautiful, resounding witness for God. Cheng Nuo is able to gradually become an honest person, and truly love and obey God. So what really is her story?

www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/m/meadowpipit/
A small, brown, streaky bird, it is the commonest songbird in upland areas and its high, piping call is a familiar sound. In flight it shows white outer tail feathers and in the breeding season it has a fluttering 'parachute' display flight. In winter they are quite gregarious and gather in small flocks, often invisible among the vegetation, suddenly flying up with typical jerky flight.
Meadow pipit numbers in the UK have been declining since the mid-1970s, resulting in this species being included on the amber list of conservation concern.
Overview
Latin name
Anthus pratensis
Family
Pipits and wagtails (Motacillidae)
Where to see them
Found across the UK but commonest in the west and north. In winter it moves south, to more lowland areas and becomes much commoner in the southern half of the UK. Found in open country - upland moors to saltmarshes in summer, more agricultural land and marshes in winter. Will even come to suburban parks and playing fields.
When to see them
All year round. In summer most common in upland areas which become deserted in winter as birds move to more lowland habitats, some migrating to Continental Europe.
What they eat
Insects - flies, beetles and moths - and spiders

Palabra de Dios | Bajo la autoridad del Creador, todas las cosas son perfectas
Todas las cosas creadas por Dios, las que podían moverse y las que no, las aves y los peces, los árboles y las flores, el ganado, los insectos y los animales salvajes creados el sexto día, todas estaban bien para Dios; además, a Sus ojos y según Su plan, todas estas cosas habían alcanzado el apogeo de la perfección y los estándares que Él deseaba lograr. Paso a paso, el Creador hizo la obra que pretendía hacer de acuerdo con Su plan. Una tras otra aparecieron las cosas que Él pretendía crear, y la aparición de cada una de ellas fue un reflejo de la autoridad del Creador, y la cristalización de Su autoridad. Debido a estas materializaciones, ninguna de las criaturas podía evitar estar agradecida por la gracia y la provisión del Creador. Cuando los hechos milagrosos de Dios se manifestaron, este mundo creció poco a poco, con todas las cosas que Él creó, y pasó del caos y de las tinieblas a la claridad y la luminosidad, de la quietud sepulcral a la vivacidad y la vitalidad sin límites. Entre todas las cosas de la creación, desde las grandes a las pequeñas, y desde estas a las microscópicas, no había ni siquiera una que no hubiese sido creada por la autoridad y el poder del Creador, y existía una necesidad y un valor únicos e inherentes a la existencia de cada criatura. Independientemente de las diferencias de forma y estructura, sólo tenía que hacerlas el Creador para que existieran bajo Su autoridad. […]
Así, bajo la autoridad del Creador, todas las cosas interpretarán una nueva sinfonía por Su soberanía; iniciarán un brillante preludio por Su obra del nuevo día, ¡y en ese momento, Él también abrirá una nueva página en la obra de Su gestión! Según la ley de los brotes de primavera, la maduración del verano, la cosecha del otoño, y el almacenamiento del invierno asignados por el Creador, todas las cosas harán eco de Su plan de gestión, y darán la bienvenida a su propio nuevo día, nuevo comienzo, y nueva trayectoria vital; y pronto se reproducirán en una sucesión infinita a fin de recibir cada nuevo día bajo la soberanía de la autoridad del Creador…

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nieuwe_Kerk_(The_Hague):
The Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) is a Dutch Baroque Protestant church in The Hague, located across from the modern city hall on the Spui. It was built in 1649 after the Great Church had become too small. Construction was completed in 1656.
The church was designed by the architect Peter Noorwits, who was assisted by the painter and architect Bartholomeus van Bassen. The church is considered a highlight of the early Protestant church architecture in the Netherlands. Like many churches of that time was the New Church, a central building. Unlike other central building, the church is no simple circular or multifaceted plan but there is a space of two octagonal sections which are connected by a slightly smaller proportion in which the pulpit was prepared. The Dutch Baroque architecture of the church shows elements of both Renaissance and Classicism. Two church bells by Coenraat Wegewaert in 1656 hang in their original bell-chairs, 100,2 cm and 81,5 cm in diameter. He also designed the clock.
The church has an organ built by the Dutch organ builder Johannes Duyschot (1645-1725) in 1702. The construction has left most of the pipework and the case. The organ was rebuilt in 1867 by one of the best organ builders of that time, the business of Christian Gottlieb Friedrich Witte. They adjusted the design of the organ to make it suitable for modern Romantic music.
Up until these canals in The Hague were filled in at the end of the 19th century, the church was accessed by boat or from the Wagenstraat on a square island between the Spui river, the St. Anthonisburgwal or Rotterdam Veerkade (the old trekschuit route to Rotterdam), the Stille Veerkade or Amsterdam Veerkade (the old trekschuit route to Amsterdam), and the Paviljoensgracht.
In the 20th century, acoustical adjustments were made to the interior in a modern face. In the thirties the church was notable as the most impressive building on the Spui, which was one of the streets in the Dutch game of Monopoly. The church was closed in 1969 after a long restoration and reopened as a concert hall.

Key information
Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decline in the UK house sparrow population, recently estimated as dropping by 71 per cent between 1977 and 2008 with substantial declines in both rural and urban populations. While the decline in England continues, Breeding Bird Survey data indicate recent population increases in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
What they eat:
Seeds and scraps.
Measurements:
Length:14-15cm
Wingspan:21-25.5cm
Weight:24-38g
Population:
UK breeding:5,300,000 pairs
Where and when to see them
House sparrows can be found from the centre of cities to the farmland of the countryside, they feed and breed near to people. It is a species vanishing from the centre of many cities, but is not uncommon in most towns and villages. It is absent from parts of the Scottish Highlands and is thinly distributed in most upland areas.
Breeding
House sparrows usually nest in loose colonies and since they don't defend a proper territory, nests can be as little as 20-30 cm apart.
How house sparrows nest
Nests are often placed in holes and crevices within buildings and they will readily use nestboxes. Free-standing nests are also frequently built, in creepers against walls and in thick hedges or conifers.
Pairs often remain faithful to their nest site and to each other for life, although a lost mate of either sex is normally replaced within days. A hole is filled with dry grass or straw with a nesting chamber lined with feathers, hairs, string and paper. Feathers may be plucked from a live pigeon!
The main nesting season is from April to August, although nesting has been recorded in all months. Most birds lay two or three clutches, but in a good year fourth attempts are not uncommon.
About house sparrow chicks
The female lays two to five eggs at daily intervals and often starts to incubate part way through egg-laying. Both sexes incubate, and the chicks hatch after 11-14 days. The parents share nesting duties equally. Chicks are brooded for 6-8 days, but can control their own body temperature only when 10 or 11 days old.
The youngsters are fed on a variety of invertebrates, including aphids, caterpillars, beetles and grasshoppers. Seeds and vegetable matter are also given, particularly during periods when invertebrates are scarce (e.g. cold weather) and become more important after the chicks leave the nest.
The young fledge 14-16 days after hatching. They are unable to feed themselves for about a week after leaving the nest and are cared for by their parents for around a fortnight. Post-fledging care is frequently left to the male as the hen prepares for the next brood. She can begin laying her next clutch of eggs within days of the previous brood leaving the nest.
Newly independent young often gather in large flocks, anywhere there is an abundance of seed, invertebrates and other suitable foods. These may be areas of wasteland or around garden feeding sites. Later, rural flocks may move on to grainfields to feed on the ripening grain, often joined by adult birds, once they have finished nesting. Flocks tend to break up through the autumn and birds return to their nesting colony sites.
Population trends
The house sparrow is common through most of its world range, and can tolerate a wide variety of climates.
The recent decline of house sparrows
UK house sparrow populations have fluctuated greatly over the centuries, with a gradual decline during the last 100 years.
Causes for the rapid recent declines, particularly in urban and suburban environments, remain largely undetermined, although research is underway that aims to establish the cause(s), and develop conservation solutions.
Declines in rural house sparrow populations are thought to be linked to changes in agricultural practices, particularly the loss of winter stubbles and improved hygiene measures around grain stores.
House sparrow numbers were not monitored adequately before the mid-1970s. Since then, numbers in rural England have nearly halved while numbers in towns and cities have declined by 60 per cent. Because of these large population declines, the house sparrow is now red-listed as a species of high conservation concern.
Relations with humans and other animals
People have a love-hate relationship with the house sparrow. However, control attempts have failed to limit the sparrows numbers and range.
Their relationship with humans
People have a love-hate relationship with the house sparrow. For many they are the most familiar of wild animals, bringing life to city centres and other man-made places, bereft of wildlife.
The house sparrows partiality to grain crops and the damage and destruction this caused resulted in attempts to control their numbers. From the mid-18th century most parishes had sparrow clubs with the sole objective to destroy as many sparrows as possible. Bounties were paid for sparrows until the late 19th century, when it was accepted that the control measures did not work. Similar failures were recorded in a number of other European countries.
Ironically, as people in Europe were paid to kill sparrows as pests, others deliberately introduced them to places as far apart as Australia and New York. Initially they were welcomed, although later appreciation turned to serious concern for the impact on crops. By then sparrows had become well established and control attempts have failed to limit the sparrows numbers and range.
How sparrows behave with other animals
Sparrows are aggressive tend to dominate feeders in gardens and prevent other birds from getting to the food. They harass other birds and steal their food and take over their nests, particularly house martins. The eviction and interference often results in a reduction in breeding success and can cause desertion of even large martin colonies.
Sparrows frequently tear to pieces the nests of martins and swallows and eject any eggs or chicks therein. The owners are unable to stop them.
Sparrows are very resilient and for their size have remarkably few serious predators. Main predators are domestic cats, owls (especially tawny) and sparrowhawks, but none are capable of affecting the size of the sparrow population, with the possible exception of localised effects by cats.

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracovia
Cracovia (en polaco, Kraków [ˈkrakuf] (?·i)) es la capital del voivodato de Pequeña Polonia (Województwo małopolskie) y una de las ciudades más grandes, antiguas e importantes de Polonia. Con una población de 760 000 habitantes (3 millones en su área metropolitana), está situada en las márgenes del río Vístula, lo que la convierte en la segunda ciudad en cuanto a población de Polonia.
Cracovia tradicionalmente ha sido uno de los centros económicos, científicos, culturales y artísticos del país. Durante gran parte de la historia polaca fue la capital del país. Por eso, todavía es el corazón de Polonia para muchos polacos. Actualmente, Cracovia es un centro muy importante del turismo local e internacional, con más de ocho millones de turistas al año. El centro histórico de Cracovia fue declarado, junto con el centro histórico de Quito, como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1978. Fue Capital Europea de la Cultura en el año 2000.

Kraków (Polish pronunciation: [ˈkrakuf] listen (help·info)), also Cracow or Krakow (UK: /ˈkrækaʊ/; US: /ˈkrɑːkaʊ/),[2][3] is the second largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland. Situated on the Vistula River (Polish: Wisła) in the Lesser Poland (Polish: Małopolska) region, the city dates back to the 7th century.[4] Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural, and artistic life and is one of Poland's most important economic hubs. It was the capital of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland from 1038 to 1569; the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1569 to 1795;[5] the Free City of Kraków from 1815 to 1846; the Grand Duchy of Cracow from 1846 to 1918; and Kraków Voivodeship from the 14th century to 1998.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuyama_Castle:
Fukuyama Castle (福山城, Fukuyama-jō), sometimes called Hisamatsu Castle (久松城, Hisamatsu-jō) or Iyō Castle (葦陽城, Iyō-jō) was the castle of the Bingo-Fukuyama Han during the Edo period of Japanese history. The grounds of the castle have been designated a National Historic Site since 1964. The castle is located in Fukuyama Park in Fukuyama, Hiroshima near Fukuyama Station.
Fukuyama Castle is located at a hill in the center of Fukuyama city. Prior to the Edo Period, this area was a large tidal flat. The Sanyōdō highway, which connects the Kinai region with Kyushu, ran to the north of the modern city center, and Tomonoura, a port on the Seto Inland Sea from the Heian period, was to the south. The main power center for Bingo Province was at Kannabe Castle to the northeast. After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Fukushima Masanori was awarded control of both Aki Province and Bingo Province; however, in 1619, the Tokugawa shogunate used the pretext that he had made repairs to Hiroshima Castle without permission to seize a portion of his domain, awarding a 100,000 koku portion of Bingo Province to Tokugawa Ieyasu's cousin, Mizuno Katsunari. Katsunari had an outstanding military record and it was expected that he would act as a bulwark on the Sanyōdō highway against possible rebellion by the powerful tozama daimyō of western Japan, such as the Mōri clan. Mizuno found that Kannabe Castle was located in a narrow mountain valley and was inconvenient both to manage his domain and to defend against attack, some received a special exception from the shogunate's "one domain - one castle" rule to build a new castle and castle town on reclaimed land. Construction started in 1619 and was completed in 1622.
The new Fukuyama Castle occupied a hill with a length of 400 meters and width of 200 meters. The inner bailey occupies the southern half of the hill, and contains a five-story tenshu at its northern edge. The southern edge was protected by two yagura turrets.The Fushimi yagura was a white three-story structure transferred from abolished Fushimi Castle in Kyoto. The Tsukumi yagura has a red handrail balcony. Between these two yagura is the main gate of the castle, also transferred from Fushimi Castle.
The secondary bailey occupied the north half of the hill, and outer bailey surrounded south half of the hill. Fukuyama Castle had seven three-story yagura and 15 smaller yagura, and tall stone walls, and was surrounded by water moats, connected by canal to the Seto Inland Sea.
The Mizuno clan was replaced by the Abe clan was rulers of Fukuyama Domain in 1698 and governed to the Meiji restoration. Although the various Abe daimyō played important political roles in the administration of the shogunate, they seldom visited the domain in person. During the Boshin War, Fukuyama Castle was attacked by the Chōshū army in January 1868, but the domain defected to the Imperial side and the castle was spared destruction.
After the Meiji Restoration, most of the buildings except for the tenshu and a number of yagura were demolished. The castle grounds became a public park. In 1931, the tenshu was designed a "National Treasure" under the former Cultural Properties Protection Law. However, the tenshu burned down during World War II. Much of outer areas of the castle grounds disappeared due to the construction of railways and urban development. Fukuyama Station was built directly adjacent to the inner bailey of the castle and the tenshu can be seen clearly from its platforms.
Testimonio cristiano | La historia de mi matrimonio feliz
Antes de crear nuestra propia familia, cada uno de nosotros soñamos con un matrimonio feliz en el cual, marido y mujer se respetan y se adoran. Este sueño es hermoso aunque la realidad sea decepcionante. Mi historia es un ejemplo de esto. Hubo un tiempo en el que mi matrimonio no era tan armonioso como yo hubiese querido. Mi esposo y yo solíamos pelearnos por banalidades que implican los labores del hogar o incluso nuestros modos de vida. Nuestro amor se vio afectado por la trivialidad de nuestra vida, tal como dice la canción: “difícil es enamorarse pero más difícil es llevarse bien”.
Antes de casarnos, confiaba en que mi esposo y yo nos llevaríamos bien porque nos amábamos y porque nos entendíamos, pero los problemas comenzaron después de casarnos. Discutíamos cuando no concordábamos en la forma de hacer algo. Había ocasiones en las que, por ejemplo, mi esposo me reprochaba la forma en la que yo hacía los quehaceres de la casa. Al inicio, permanecía en silencio, aunque mi corazón no estaba de acuerdo, pero hubo un momento en el que su constante criticismo me hizo refutar: “Y bien, si estoy mal, entonces ¿qué es lo que está bien? ¡Si piensas que lo que hago está mal, entonces hazlo tú!”. Aunque estas palabras detenían la discusión, siempre eran seguidas de un silencio incómodo. Sabía que le dolía, pero no podía poner mi autoestima de lado para hablarle. Como resultado, la disputa terminó en varios días de guerra fría. En ocasiones, él me desesperaba. Por ejemplo, me disgustaba la ropa que se ponía, pues sentía que no le importaba su higiene personal y que no podía parecer bien frente a los demás. Cuando le llené la cabeza de piedritas, él me echaba la culpa “eres una maniática de la limpieza, eres demasiado selecta”. En cualquier caso, siempre había mucha tensión entre nosotros.
No sabía qué hacer con mi matrimonio, entonces le pedí consejo a mis amigos y familiares que han estado casados durante años. Algunos me aconsejaron de ser más tolerante, ya que “El transigir hace que un conflicto sea mucho más fácil de resolver”; otros me decían de darme mi lugar ya que todos humillaban al débil y aclamaban al fuerte. Seguí sus consejos, pero en vano. Cuando intenté de retener mis ganas por discutir con él, sentí mi corazón desesperarse y enojarse, como si hubiera perdido algo, ya que al pelearnos, nuestra relación se fortalecía. Después de varias fallas, supe que nadie podría ayudarme a resolver mis conflictos familiares. No pude dejar de pensar en la razón por la cual no podíamos llevarnos bien y en el quién podría ayudarme a resolver mis problemas.

#1 Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy at Moscow (Russian abbreviation VDNH)
Scan from my old film taken in 1970y
The exhibition park is a closed green area with a symbolic entrance fee. It was founded in 1935 and was originally dedicated only to the exhibition of advanced machinery and technology in agriculture. In the well-groomed green area of the Park with many fountains there were large monumental exhibition buildings dedicated to different regions (republics) of the state, their agriculture and technology. Own botanic garden, large flower fields. The entire architecture and layout of the park was made in a single Stalin's Empire style. Nothing to do with Disneyland. Already in those days, only electric vehicles were used to move around the Park. Trolleybuses along perimeter of the Park. Those trolleybuses differed from the urban ones almost completely glazed interior (including ceiling). On internal routes used small semi-open road trains with electric traction, even small electric taxis were (for a fee).
In the 60s, the territory of the Park was significantly expanded. The theme of the exhibition began to cover not only agriculture, but all industries. Many new exhibition buildings were built, some of which had faceless modern architecture (glass and steel). So the Park has a bit lost its unique image.
This exhibition complex had its own meat dairy and bakery production. Their products were sold in numerous small cafes and pavilions in the park. These products were incomparably higher quality than what you could buy in ordinary Moscow stores. As I remember, especially fine were hot dogs, coffee with sandwiches or doughnuts and different kinds of hot bread (just out of the bakery). All goods and services were for very small money.
Now it is impossible to buy anything like this here (I'm not talking about luxury restaurants, where I have not been for a long time).
By the way, my equipment was also for a while exhibited there in the exhibition building of Geophysics as an example of student creativity
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holyhead_Mountain
Holyhead Mountain (Mynydd Twr in Welsh: from (pen)twr, meaning "stack") is the highest hill on Holy Island, Anglesey, and the highest in the county of Anglesey, north Wales. It lies about two miles west of the town of Holyhead, and slopes steeply down to the Irish Sea on two sides. There is a late Roman watchtower, called Caer y Tŵr (Tower Fortress) on the east side of the hill. Holyhead Mountain also has an Iron Age Stone Circle settlement and the material for the Breakwater was quarried from the Mountain too. It is the first sight of land people have when travelling from Dublin to Holyhead.
Holyhead Mountain attracts many visitors, and it is also located close to South Stack lighthouse; many people come to see the variety of birds which nest along the cliff faces near South Stack.
Views from the summit are extensive, especially to the West where the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland can often be seen across the Irish Sea on clear days.

At the annual meeting in 1962, Amos Rixman commented that the Association "organized three years ago this month for the purpose of furnishing some enjoyment to its members and to be the beginning of something very worthwhile." Already in its brief life the Association had earned such a reputation that three towns vied for the chance to become the permanent site for the show. The Pinckneyville Chamber of Commerce invited the ATA with open arms and pledges of support, and the Perry County community was chosen over Mascoutah and Highland for the 1962 show site.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durlston_Castle
Durlston Castle stands within Durlston Country Park, a 1.13 square-kilometre (280-acre) country park and nature reserve stretching along the coastline south of Swanage, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset.
History
John Mowlem[1] (1788-1868), a Swanage-born man, was a stonemason and builder. He was the founder of the quarrying and construction company Mowlem. He and his nephew and business partner George Burt[2] (1816-1894) wanted to give something back to their home town, which was the source of their Portland and Purbeck limestone, popular for building at the time. John Mowlem built the Mowlem Institute, a reading room and public library, in 1862. George Burt purchased an undulating tract of land covering Durlston Head during the same year. This estate, the Durlston Estate, included quarries that supplied their firm with limestone. Burt developed this estate as a tourist attraction.
Burt established the Durlston Estate upon the crest of the hill and here he built his folly Durlston Castle. The castle was designed by the Weymouth architect G.R. Crickmay (1830-1907) and built by W.M. Hardy in 1886-87 entirely of local stone. The 'castle' was never a real castle: it was purpose-built by Burt as a restaurant for the visitors to his estate.
The castle played a part in the evolution of radio and telecommunications. A team of Marconi's engineers used the roof of the castle in the 1890s for some of their early wireless experiments to transmit to the Isle of Wight.
The castle passed through the hands of many owners until in 1973 it was bought by Dorset County Council.
Description
The side wall of the castle features a sundial and two stone tablets inscribed with various statistics such as clock times and tides around the world. South of the castle is the Great Globe, built by Burt in 1887.[3] The footpaths around the Castle and Great Globe are lined with cast iron bollards that were brought from London. All around the estate there are further stone plaques carved with quotations from Shakespeare and the Bible, maps showing the English Channel and the United Kingdom, and further facts about the natural world. These surrounds were placed during the period 1887 to 1891.
Also within the Durlston Country Park and within walking distance of the Globe are Durlston Bay, the Tilly Whim Caves and the Anvil Point Lighthouse. The Park is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
Restoration
Durlston Castle and the Great Globe were both restored during 2010 and 2011 by the Council.[4][5] The castle now houses a new Visitor Centre to Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, and stands as a gateway to the Jurassic Coast.

2019 English Christian Song | " God Has Brought Man Into a New Age" | Christian Hymns
God spreads His work among the gentile nations. His glory flashes through the universe. His will, embodied in scattered men, all steered by His hand, doing tasks assigned. Now He has entered into a new era, bringing all men into another world. This is a new age after all, and God has brought new work to take more new people into the new age and cast aside those He’ll eliminate. This is a new age after all.
When God returned to His “homeland,” He then began another part of His plan, that man could know Him more deeply. God regards the universe completely, He sees the right time for His work to be done. He hurries here and there, doing His new work on man. This is a new age after all, and God has brought new work to take more new people into the new age and cast aside those He’ll eliminate. This is a new age after all.
In the nation of the great red dragon, God has done work that cannot be fathomed, causing men to waver in the wind. As it blows, many quietly drift away. This is the “threshing floor” that God will clear. This is His plan, what He longs for. This is a new age after all, and God has brought new work to take more new people into the new age and cast aside those He’ll eliminate. This is a new age after all. This is the new age, this is the new age, this is the new age after all.

Ο Γου Σόνγκουανκ κηρύττει το
Ευαγγέλιο με την Εκκλησία του Παντοδύναμου Θεού και, την ώρα που προσπαθεί να διαφύγει τη σύλληψη από την Κινεζική Αστυνομία, τον σώζει ο Τζανγκ Σουν, ένας συνεργάτης σε μια τοπική κατ’ οίκον εκκλησία. Έπειτα από αυτό, συναναστρέφεται αρκετές φορές με τον Τζανγκ Σουν και άλλους, πάνω στο τι σημαίνει πίστη στον Θεό, τον τρόπο να πιστεύει κανείς προκειμένου να αποκτήσει την επιδοκιμασία του Θεού, και άλλες πτυχές της αλήθειας. Στο τέλος, οι αλήθειες αυτές επιλύουν την μακροχρόνια σύγχυση και τις δυσκολίες του Τζανγκ Σουν και των άλλων, επιτρέποντάς τους να κατανοήσουν το πραγματικό νόημα της «πίστης στον Θεό» και ελευθερώνοντας τις καρδιές τους.

Estudios bíblicos profundos | La Biblia fue compilada por el hombre, no por Dios; la Biblia no puede representar a Dios.
Versículo(s) bíblico(s) para referencia:
“Examináis las Escrituras porque vosotros pensáis que en ellas tenéis vida eterna; y ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí; y no queréis venir a mí para que tengáis vida” (Juan 5:39-40).
“Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre sino por mí” (Juan 14:6).
Palabras relevantes de Dios:
La Biblia es un registro histórico de la obra de Dios en Israel, y documenta muchas de las predicciones de antiguos profetas, así como algunas de las declaraciones de Jehová en Su obra en ese momento. Por tanto, todas las personas consideran este libro como “santo” (porque Dios es santo y grande). Por supuesto, esto es todo un resultado de su reverencia por Jehová y su adoración de Dios. Las personas se refieren así a este libro, solo porque las criaturas de Dios son tan adoradoras de su Creador, y están incluso aquellos que catalogan a este libro de “libro celestial”. En realidad, es simplemente un registro humano. Jehová no lo tituló personalmente ni guió su creación. Es decir, el autor de este libro no es Dios, sino los hombres. La “Santa” Biblia solo es el título respetuoso que el hombre le ha dado. No fue decidido por Jehová y Jesús tras un debate entre ellos; no es nada más que una idea humana. Porque Jehová no escribió este libro, y mucho menos Jesús, sino que son los relatos de muchos profetas, apóstoles y adivinos antiguos, recopilados por generaciones posteriores en un libro de escritos antiguos que, para las personas, parece especialmente santo, un libro que en su opinión contiene muchos misterios insondables y profundos que están esperando a ser descubiertos por generaciones futuras. Así pues, las personas están aún más dispuestas a creer que este libro es un “libro celestial”. Con el añadido de los Cuatro Evangelios y el libro del Apocalipsis, la actitud de las personas hacia él es particularmente diferente de la que tienen hacia cualquier otro libro y, por tanto, nadie se atreve a diseccionar este “libro celestial”, porque es demasiado “sagrado”.
