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?

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.

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”.

Seals, both Common and Grey can be seen around the coastline of the Highlands and Islands – on a wet walk they are guaranteed to raise spirits. We took a 2 hour walk onto the little visited Fiadhairt peninsula, the south shores of which are the best place in Skye for seeing seals close up. These shores are much favoured by the Loch Dunvegan common seal colony, which is the largest on Skye. A walk in the rain across the soaking wet grassy moorland with faint sheep tracks. See this map for details. The seals can often be seen basking on the rocks where seaweed filled inlets either on shore or just out in the sea. Approach very quietly, taking care not to disturb the seals too much. There are usually many of them swimming in the water; when in the water, the seals are much more confident and often swim quite close, seemingly as inquisitive as their human visitors.
Photo of common Seals taken on the Isle of Skye in Loch Dunvegan - Scotland.
De gewone Zeehonden en de grijze zeehonden kunnen rond de Schotse kustlijn en eilanden van de Hooglanden gezien worden. Het is zeker na een natte wandeling een fantastisch ervaring. We deden een wandeling van 2 uur op het weinig bezochte Fiadhairt schiereiland. De beste plaats van het eiland Skye zijn deze zuid oevers van het meer van Dunvegan. Een wandeling in de regen over het natte en drassige heidelandschap. Zie kaart voor details. De zeehonden kunnen dikwijls worden gezien op de rotsen of tussen het zeewier in de vele inhammen. Benader ze heel rustig en zorg er voor om de zeehonden niet te veel te storen. Zeehonden vinden het veiliger wanneer ze in het water zijn dan op de oevers. In het water zwemmen ze dikwijls redelijk dichtbij, schijnbaar even nieuwsgierig als hun menselijke bezoekers.

I
El verdadero Dios Todopoderoso, Rey del trono,
que rige el universo entero, frente a las naciones y los pueblos.
El mundo entero brilla con la gloria de Dios.
El mundo entero brilla, el mundo entero brilla, brilla con la gloria de Dios.
El mundo entero brilla, el mundo entero brilla, brilla con la gloria de Dios.
Todo en el universo, todo en el universo verá,
todos los seres vivientes verán.
Las montañas, las tierras, ríos y lagos,
los océanos y todos los seres vivos,
bajo la luz del Dios verdadero,
han abierto sus cortinas, han revivido,
como si despertasen de un sueño,
como retoños saliendo de la tierra hacia la luz.
¡Oh, el verdadero y único Dios aparece ante el mundo!
Nadie se resiste.
¡Todos tiemblan de miedo, todos están convencidos,
arrodillados ante Él!
Mira cómo le piden perdón, sin cesar rogándole.
¡Todas las voces lo alaban!
II
Continentes y océanos, montañas y ríos,
todas las cosas lo alaban sin cesar.
Las brisas primaverales traen finas lluvias.
Las corrientes de los ríos, como la gente,
mezclan tristeza y alegría,
lloran lágrimas de endeudamiento,
llenos de culpa y remordimiento.
Los ríos, lagos, olas y mareas,
todos cantan, todos cantan,
y alaban el sagrado nombre de Dios.
Todas las cosas profanadas por Satanás,
todas y cada una se renovarán.
Todo lo que ha sido corrupto cambiará.
Entrarán en un nuevo ámbito.
¡Oh, el verdadero y único Dios aparece ante el mundo!
Nadie se resiste.
¡Todos tiemblan de miedo, todos están convencidos,
arrodillados ante Él!
III
Entonces, la trompeta sagrada resuena.
Presta atención y escucha.
Un dulce sonido viene del trono,
anunciándole a cada nación que ha llegado la hora,
que el fin del mundo está aquí.
El plan gestionado por Dios culminó,
y Su reino ha venido a la tierra.
Cada reino en el mundo se ha convertido en el reino de Dios.
Siete trompetas suenan desde el trono,
¡qué grandes maravillas tendrán lugar!
Dios disfruta viendo a Su pueblo, que lo escucha, escucha Su voz.
Acuden personas de todas las naciones.
Todos hablan del verdadero Dios,
¡alaban, saltan, alaban, saltan, alaban, saltan, sin cesar!
Dando testimonio del verdadero Dios, tronador como las aguas.
Todos colmarán el reino de Dios.
Todos colmarán el reino de Dios. ¡Reino!

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.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953:
From midday on 31 January 1953, water was driven from the northern reaches of the North Sea between Norway and Scotland by a strong north-west gale. A surge developed along the coast of the Netherlands, which coincided with a high spring tide, leading to many water levels on the Dutch coast on the morning of 1 February 1953 being higher than any previous recorded figures, particularly in the south-western areas of the country.
At 10:30 p.m. on Saturday evening 31 January, it was low tide. But this time the water remained high. The strength of the hurricane had broken the tidal movement.
On the night of 1 February 1953 around 3 a.m., many dykes in the province of Zeeland, the southern parts of the province of South Holland and the northwestern parts of the province of North Brabant proved unable to resist the combination of spring tide and a northwesterly storm. On both the islands and the mainland, large areas of the country were flooded.
At 4 p.m. on 1 February, the flood reached a second high. The water rose even higher than during the first flood, and more dikes broke. Many people who had survived the first flood died, as the houses on which they sheltered on the rooftops collapsed due to the persistent water pressure. At that time, the government did not yet know that Schouwen-Duiveland, Goeree-Overflakkee and Tholen were almost completely under water, and no large-scale rescue operations had yet taken place.
Only on Monday 2 February were fishermen the first to sail deep into the disaster area to save hundreds of people. Rescue operations from the air were hardly possible: the Netherlands had only 1 helicopter and had to wait until other countries offered help.
On Tuesday February 3, a large flow of people and relief supplies started. Planes dropped sandbags, dinghies, boots, food and water over the disaster area. At the same time, thousands of Dutch soldiers, administrators, aid workers and volunteers arrived to carry out coordinated actions in the disaster area. Tens of thousands of residents were being evacuated from the area to shelters elsewhere in the country.
Foreign helicopters and amphibious vehicles also came into action on Tuesday, but the vast majority of rescue operations had already been completed by then.
Donations and relief supplies were pouring in at the National Disaster Fund in The Hague. Other countries, including England, Sweden and Canada sent more than 61 million guilders in relief supplies.
Many people still commemorate the dead during the Herdenking Watersnoodramp on 1 February.
Friends of the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge is a community-based 501(c) 3 non-profit organization coming together to design, create and maintain a flowering pedestrian bridge across the Rocky Broad River and the walkways at both ends of the bridge for the joy and benefit of all who come our way. The bridge, completed in 1925, served as a part of the US 64/US 74-A/NC 9 highway until 2011 when a new bridge was opened to traffic. The Historic Bridge #7 was turned over to the Town of Lake Lure to allow for the creation of this unique community garden bridge, to be developed by local people to further enhance the natural beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge for generations to come.

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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden%27s_Tower
The Maiden's Tower (Turkish: Kız Kulesi), also known as Leander's Tower (Tower of Leandros) since the medieval Byzantine period, is a tower lying on a small islet located at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus strait 200 m (220 yd) from the coast of Üsküdar in Istanbul, Turkey.After the naval victory at Cyzicus, the ancient Athenian general Alcibiades possibly built a custom station for ships coming from the Black Sea on a small rock in front of Chrysopolis (today's Üsküdar).In 1110 Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus built a wooden tower protected by a stone wall. From the tower an iron chain stretched across to another tower erected on the European shore, at the quarter of Mangana in Constantinople.
The tower, often mistakenly named Leander's Tower in reference to the legend of Hero and Leander (which took place in the Dardanelles strait, also known as the Hellespont in antiquity), was destroyed during the earthquake of 1509, and burned in 1721.Since then it was used as a lighthouse, and the surrounding walls were repaired in 1731 and 1734, until in 1763 it was erected using stone. From 1829 the tower was used as a quarantine station, and in 1832 was restored by Sultan Mahmud II. Restored again by the harbour authority in 1945, the most recent restoration began in 1998 for the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough, and steel supports were added around the ancient tower as a precaution after the 17 August 1999 earthquake.
The interior of the tower has been transformed into a popular café and restaurant, with an excellent view of the former Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman capital.Private boats make trips to the tower several times a day.

Skagafjörður is a deep bay in northern Iceland.
Location
Skagafjörður is about 40 km long and 15 km wide, situated between Tröllaskagi to the east and the Skagi Peninsula to the west. There are two municipalities in the area, Skagafjörður Municipality (approx. 4140 inhabitants) and Akrahreppur Municipality (approx. 210 inhabitants).[1]
This is one of Iceland's most prosperous agricultural regions, with widespread dairy and sheep farming in addition to the horse breeding for which the district is famed. Skagafjörður is the only county in Iceland where horses outnumber people.
It is a centre for agriculture, and some fisheries are also based in the settlements of Sauðárkrókur and Hofsós. The people living in Skagafjörður have a reputation for choir singing, horsemanship, and gatherings. There are three islands in the bay: Málmey, Drangey and Lundey.[2] [3]
The bay is located in a submerged glacial valley which is continued southwards by a plain in which lies the delta of the Héraðsvötn river. The main settlement of this valley is Varmahlíð.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolbenente
Kolbenente ♂ (Netta rufina)
Ordnung: Gänsevögel (Anseriformes)
Familie: Entenvögel (Anatidae)
Unterfamilie: Anatinae
Tribus: Tauchenten (Aythyini)
Gattung: Netta
Die Kolbenente (Netta rufina) ist eine etwa stockentengroße Vogelart aus der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Sie zählt zu den Tauchenten und kann bis zu 30 Sekunden unter Wasser bleiben. Das Männchen ist im Prachtkleid mit seiner fuchsroten Kopffärbung und dem karminroten Schnabel unverkennbar.
Das Brutgebiet der Kolbenente ist nur in Mittelasien geschlossen. Das europäische Brutgebiet ist dagegen disjunkt und hat seine Schwerpunkte im westlichen Mittelmeergebiet. Die inselartigen Vorkommen in Mitteleuropa sind auch darauf zurückzuführen, dass die Kolbenente erst im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts Mitteleuropa besiedelte. Carl von Linné war diese Art daher unbekannt. Die wissenschaftliche Artbeschreibung erfolgte erst durch den aus Berlin stammenden Arzt und Naturforscher Peter Simon Pallas, der in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts unter anderem ausgedehnte Forschungsreisen in Russland unternahm und dort diese Art entdeckte.
www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/g/greatcrestedgre...
A delightfully elegant waterbird with ornate head plumes which led to its being hunted for its feathers, almost leading to its extermination from the UK. They dive to feed and also to escape, preferring this to flying. On land they are clumsy because their feet are placed so far back on their bodies. They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads. Very young grebes often ride on their parents' backs.

1. ¿Qué es un anticristo? ¿Cómo se puede identificar a un anticristo?
Las palabras relevantes de Dios:
¿Cómo define Dios a un anticristo? Como alguien hostil a Dios. ¡Enemigo de Dios! Alguien hostil a Dios, hostil a la verdad, que aborrece la verdad, aborrece a Dios y absolutamente todo lo positivo. No es una persona normal momentáneamente débil, necia y un tanto equivocada en sus ideas y puntos de vista, ni una persona con un entendimiento un poco absurdo que no concuerda con la verdad. No son este tipo de personas. ¡Son un anticristo, un enemigo de Dios! Su figura es la de alguien que odia absolutamente todo lo positivo, odia toda la verdad y odia la totalidad del carácter y esencia de Dios. ¿Cómo trata Dios a una figura así? ¡No la salvará! Esas personas, por su esencia, desprecian y detestan la verdad. Lo aquí expuesto no es el carácter corrupto normal de las masas, cosas como la arrogancia, un poco de terquedad o la falsedad de poca importancia; lo aquí expuesto es la maldad, la crueldad y el odio a la verdad, que son las manifestaciones y actitudes más graves de todas las actitudes corruptas y las cosas más típicas y esenciales de Satanás. Esta no es una pequeña revelación del carácter corrupto de la gente normal corrupta, que no puede constituir una amenaza real a la verdad ni una fuerza importante; esta es una fuerza hostil a Dios. Pueden perturbar y controlar una iglesia y destruir e interrumpir la obra de gestión de Dios. ¿La gente normal corrupta hace esto? En absoluto, y, por lo tanto, no debes subestimarlo. Hay quienes también tienen un carácter malvado —algunos de los cuales se comportan de forma egoísta y despreciable, y otros, diabólicamente—, que no permiten que los avasalle nadie y piensan: “Si no me ofenden, no los ofenderé”. ¿En qué se diferencian los anticristos de esto? Su principal actitud no es la arrogancia, sino la auténtica maldad. ¿Y cómo se manifiesta mayormente esta maldad? Puede apreciarse en su extraña manera de hacer las cosas, difícil de detectar para la gente normal con ojos y oídos, cierta cultura y algo de experiencia social; esto ha pasado de la falsedad a la maldad. Pueden hacen juegos y trucos con las sombras y hacerlos “mejor” que la mayoría de las personas; la mayoría de la gente normal no puede competir con ellos ni hacerles frente. Esto es un anticristo. ¿Por qué digo que la gente normal no puede hacerles frente? Porque su maldad es tan extrema que tienen una enorme capacidad de engañar a la gente. ¿Por qué hablamos de las manifestaciones de los anticristos? Porque los anticristos tienen gran capacidad de engañar a la gente. Engañan a un gran número de personas a un tiempo, como una plaga letal que, con el contagio, puede dañar y matar a mucha gente en un solo brote; es altamente contagiosa y de amplio alcance, y sus tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad son superiores a las de las enfermedades comunes. ¿No son graves estas consecuencias?

On our journey home May 3, 2016 at Lake Pukaki in the South Island of New Zealand.
Lake Pukaki is the largest of three roughly parallel alpine lakes running north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin on New Zealand's South Island.
The glacial feed to the lakes gives them a distinctive blue colour, created by glacial flour, the extremely finely ground rock particles from the glaciers. Lake Pukaki covers an area of 178.7 km², and the surface elevation of the lake normally ranges from 518.2 to 532 metres above sea level.
The lake is now part of the Waitaki hydroelectric scheme. The lake's original outflow was at its southern end, into the Pukaki River. The outflow has been dammed, and canals carry water from Lake Pukaki and Lake Ohau through the Ohau A power station to Lake Ruataniwha. Pukaki is also fed by the waters of Lake Tekapo, which are diverted through a canal to a power station on Pukaki's eastern shore (Tekapo B station). The lake has been raised twice to increase storage capacity (9m in 1952, and 37m in 1976 ), submerging Five Pound Note Island, which once appeared on New Zealand's five pound note.

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.
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.

Canción cristiana | El amor de Dios permanece en el mundo por siempre
www.kingdomsalvation.org/es/videos/God-s-love-stays-in-wo...
I
La persona común y humilde, Tú conquistas mi corazón rebelde.
Tú creas maravillas en la carne. Donde quiera que Tu pie tropiece, Tu vida brilla.
Tu juicio sin misericordia es amor.
Tu angustia se muestra entre líneas.
Tú soportas humillación y te sacrificas abnegadamente.
Tu amor es mi compañero. Por siempre permanece en mi corazón.
He recibido Tu total amor. En fe y amor eternamente.
II
Me das la oportunidad de renacer. Tu gran amor me lleva hacia Ti.
Te amaré con todo mi corazón. Y Tu más querido amigo yo seré.
Tus palabras son mi forma de vida.
Has ganado la confianza de toda la humanidad.
El precio que pagaste aviva mi amor.
No te arrepientes y aguardas en la esperanza.
Tu amor es mi compañero. Por siempre permanece en mi corazón.
He recibido Tu total amor. En fe y amor eternamente.
III
Daré mi todo para pagar Tu amor, exaltarte y dar testimonio de Ti.
Pongo Tus palabras en práctica y me esfuerzo por hacer Tu voluntad.
Tu amor es mi compañero. Por siempre permanece en mi corazón.
He recibido Tu total amor. En fe y amor eternamente.

The Oeiras Marina is a complex made up of an oceanic swimming pool, a yacht and sail boat harbour and a seaside walkway. This is where the river Tagus becomes the Atlantic Ocean and I never get tired of this place. In the background, you can see the 25 de Abril Bridge, which connects the margins of the River Tagus.

A Oeiras Marina é um complexo composto pelo Porto de Recreio, a Piscina Oceânica e o Passeio Marítimo. É aqui que o rio Tejo se transforma em Oceano Atlântico e nunca me canso deste sítio. Lá ao fundo, vê-se a Ponte 25 de Abril, que liga as margens do Rio Tejo.
