When that day came, I didn’t allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.”

I got a new sponsor in the form of Von Noir and the lovely Julia :)
I decided to give my Antinatural Post Human wings a bit of an outing to team it up with Von Noir's fabulous Suicide Doll tattoo. The back is tentacles and skeletons and the whole thing looks awesome down to the face peeking up above the belt line. I topped it off with the rather excellent horns by Rawr. Now if you will excuse me, I'm off to round up some Apostates....

The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants --
At Evening, it is not --
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop upon a Spot
As if it tarried always
And yet its whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake's Delay
And fleeter than a Tare --
'Tis Vegetation's Juggler --
The Germ of Alibi --
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie --
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
To have it intermit --
This surreptitious scion
Of Summer's circumspect.
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn --
Had Nature an Apostate --
That Mushroom -- it is Him!

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
Voice ov an aeon
Angelus Satani
Ora pro nobis Lucifer
You alone have suffered
The fall and torment ov shame
I'll smite Heaven's golden pride
And never pity thee
Immaculate divine
Satan ov Elohim
None dare to stand in your way
Thou bow to none
Ov Eden's feculence
Conjure the serpent messenger
Saviour world's decay
Concord in temptation
And in the fall ov Eve
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
For thine is the kingdom
And the glory
Forever
Scholar ov the unlight
Great volcano ov excrement
Rippling eager to erupt
Reconstellate the firmament
Behold the great accuser
A megalinga ov throbbing zeal
Raptor yearning to pierce
To rape the seventh seal
Destroyer ov cosmos
Implore the ungod
Implode the sun
There is none wronging the serpent's cult
Untouched and ignored
With the serpent's might
And the trumpets blow
In the shadow ov the horns
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
For thine is the kingdom
And the glory
Forever
Lightning that stabs the Heavens
Thou quiver the Mount Sinai
Split rocks on tablets ov covenant
Listen for the tempest's rasp
Azazel! Apolyon!
The black sun never sets
For it never rose
Habemus Satanas
The Caesar's wrath, empire's fall
Petition the Lord with fire
Santa sede burns
Phallus dei
Erect from pole to pole
Viva blasfemia, in coitus infinitus
Hear the universe scream
Bleeding from black holes
Whom horns caress
And whom God mourns

I really liked the collaborative robot saints built a while ago and wanted to add to the lore of them with an apocalyptic machine over man vibe. Hope you enjoy!

My love of chocolate has always been a source of amusement to my friends and family. In the mid-1980s I spent a year as law clerk/bailiff for a state district court judge in Utah -- the heart of Mormondom -- and while thus employed, part of my daily ritual was to buy a pint of Hershey's chocolate milk at the snack bar in the courthouse. One day a couple of colleagues teased me about it, and I responded by affirming that Hershey's was the one true brand of chocolate milk; that all other brands were apostate versions; and that Hershey's had been miraculously restored to the earth in these latter days.
More recently, and up to and including the present, Commissioner Myra Harris of the Maricopa County Superior Court always maintains a stash of chocolate of one kind or another for the benefit of her co-workers. I show up almost daily for what I call "chocolate raids." One of her clerks tells me that she knows by the way I walk if I am there on official business, or for the chocolate. According to her, I stroll into the Commissioner's chambers with brisk purposefulness if the visit is related to court business, but at a much more leisurely pace if I am conducting a chocolate raid.
The same clerk who made that comment took this picture at my request. The Commissioner wasn't in on the day I made this particular raid, but she wouldn't have raised any objection if she had been there. I like to tell people that as long as I have my chocolate, I am the sweetest fellow they will ever meet in this life; but that contrariwise, without my chocolate I become a savage beast, something worthy of Dante's Inferno. Nobody seems to take this claim very seriously, however.
Here I am admiring a handful of Hershey's chocolate kisses, which I very much enjoy, although much as I love chocolate, I prefer the other kind of kisses. Which, in turn, is why I shave extra close every morning; I figure it makes my face more kissable.
Hey guys,
great to be back here :) After 5 months nothing to do with bricks and building I'm proudly announce to be back in business. Like every time disney release something new from Mando and Grogu my building motivation increased from 0 to 100. Almost a half year my building motivation and inspiration didn't excist so it was very quiet on my social media.
But for now I want to start with this creation a new building series: Season 3 vignettes from the disney+ series THE MANDALORIAN.
Starting with a small scene on Nevarro from the first chapter: My goal was to catch the new look of that beautiful city and I hope I got it. Here is a small summary of the scene.
[...]
Djarin flies the N-1 starfighter to Nevarro where he is greeted by air traffic control. He tells them that he has come to visit an "old friend." Djarin walks through the streets of Nevarro City while Grogu rides in his repulsorlift cradle. Djarin notices that the streets are cleaner and safer. Droids and beings of different species roam through the streets. Kowakian monkey-lizards watch from trees.
As the two pass a statue of IG-11, Djarin reminds Grogu of his old droid friend. Djarin greets Greef Karga, who has become Nevarro's new High Magistrate. Inside his office, Karga tells Djarin that Nevarro has become an official trade spur of the Hydian Way. Karga also tells him that Nevarro has been undergoing a construction boom due to mining in the system's asteroid field. Karga offers Djarin and Grogu a parcel of land to settle in the outskirts of the city.

Greetings Kevin
See you for the next building ;)
Charietto the Headhunter was a German mercenary who served the Romans in the late 4th century. Not much is known about him, but what is known is he lived around the border between the Roman Empire and Germania on the Rhine River near Treverorum. Charietto wasn't happy about the constant raids done by other German barbarians, so he decided to take action. At night he would go to the barbarian camp and kill them. After this he would bring back their heads to town in the morning. He would soon be joined by other frustrated citizens, who like him, decided to take matters into their own hands.
Eventually, his actions would gain the attention of Julian, who was the commander in the region waging a campaign against the same Germans. He would encourage Charietto and his men to continue attacking the raiders until they surrendered. After the war was over, Charietto disappeared from history into parts unknown. Julian on the other hand would later become Romes last pagan emperor and would earn the name Julian "the Apostate".
" I hope you have fun rotting in hell
Swim the witch, slay the infidel
Suck a dick, heretic
I hate you
And I'd like to see you burn, burn, burn
So tell all your friends
This is the end of everything
Too late to repent
The wicked will reap what they sow
We will sanctify (rise, my brethren)
Purify (purge out the sin)
Rejoice in their sorrow and sing
All hail next gen (all hail next gen)
Can I get an amen?
Somebody call the exorcist
This is heresy, the child is possessed
(Subjugate the apostate)
Don't you know
You're so six-six-sick?
Yeah, you fanatics prey on me, hate on me
Patiently waiting to watch me bleed
Get your head from out of my ass
Got me feeling like a human centipede
Just let me breathe
Stay the fuck away from me
I don't really want me
As my own enemy
So tell all your friends
This is the end of everything
Too late to repent
We'll bathe in the blood of the damned
We will sanctify (rise, my brethren)
Purify (purge out the sin)
Rejoice in their sorrow and sing
All hail next gen (all hail next gen)
Can I get an amen?
Just let me suffer (just let me breathe)
Just let me suffer (suffer in peace)
Just let me suffer (just let me breathe)
Oh, just let me
Just let me suffer
Or just let me breathe
Just let me suffer
Suffer in peace
I'm about to lose control
Fallen from grace, corrupted our faith
Foul renegade
I'm about to lose control
Thou will be done 'til kingdom come
No absolution
So tell all your friends
This is the end of everything
Too late to repent
The wicked will reap what they sow
We will (sanctify, purify)
Rejoice in their sorrow and sing
All hail next gen (all hail next gen)
Can I get an amen?
I'll execute judgment on you
You wicked demon
You burn in hell
You burn in hell
It's over
(Wow, that's really cool) ... "

Palaeo-Christian crypt [3rd century AD]
and Christian basilica built over it in 370 AD
Niculitel village, Tulcea county, Romania
-archaeological site discovered in 1971
www.icemtl.ro/muzeul-de-istorie-si-arheologie-engleza/mon...
Basilica elevated at the end of the 4th century, under Emperors Valens and Valentinianus and rebuilt in the reign of Theodosius II in the early 5th century – over a Palaeo-Christian crypt. The crypt – covered by a hemispheric dome with pendants, housed two superimposed martyr tombs: în the lower level there were the remains of two martyrs with unknown names. At the top level, in a collective coffin, there were the remains of four martyrs whose names: Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis and Philippos as martyrs – Martyres hristou – are recorded on the walls of the crypt.

The Holy Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos from Niculiţel
Martyrs Zotic, Atal, Camasis, and Filip of Niculiţel
Feast day on June 4
theodialogia.blogspot.com/2011/06/holy-martyrs-zotikos-at...
The Land of Scythia Minor, the actual Romanian region of Dobrogea, situated between the Danube and the Black Sea was one of the first Christianized regions in the world.
The popular traditions say that St. Andrew the Apostle, in his way from Greece to Scytia (the today Ukraine) went through this region, where he would have stayed a few years, preaching the Gospel to the Dacians, Scythians and the Greek colonists from the cities here.
The attestation of the early Christianity here is also recognized through the archeological discoveries. A few dozens of churches from the 2nd-4th century show the intensity of the Christian activity here. Beyond the rich traditions about the Andrew’s preaching here, there is not much known. It is possible, that the Christianity would be preached here peacefully, also because the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians, the dwellers here were already monotheists.
At the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th there are registered some strong actions of persecutions in the area, in the periods of the Emperors Diocletianus (284/305), Licinius (319-324) and later in the times of Julian the Apostate (361-363), respectively of the King Athanaric of Gothia (about 370-372). More than a dozen of soldiers, priests or simple citizens were killed because they confessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
About those saints martyrs there was not very much to know, only a few notes in some Synaxaries. At 4th of June, the Syriac Martyrologium indicates only the Feast of St. Philip, but the “hieronimian” Martirologium, adds here the names Zoticus, Atalus, Eutichius, Camasis, Quirinus and other 28, unnamed.
These saints were almost forgotten, but they came one more time in the attention after an event which passed about 40 years ago.
In the summer of 1971, after some rich rainfalls, some locals from the small village of Niculitel, known much more because of its vineyards, discovered in a landslide some ruins. After more digging, it was obvious that there are not only some ruins, but an entire crypt built like a small chapel. Inside of it were the bones of 4 men, put into a wooden coffin, and above it were on the walls 2 inscriptions in Greek, painted in red colour: “Martyrs of Christ”, respectively “Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos”. Both inscriptions were accompanied by the sign of Chrismon (XP), an old Christian symbol.
Even if the discovery occurred in the middle of the communist era, it made sensation between the archaeologists, historians and theologians. The crypt confirms the notation about some martyrs with those names, included in the synaxaries mentioned above and into an extended Greek synaxarion, together with other 32 more Christians who died in Scythia Minor, in the Old Noviodunum, a port at the Danube, not far away from the Danube Delta (the actual Isaccea). The historians believe that they died during the persecution of Licinius (319-324), or Julian the Apostate (361-363).
About the other 32 there is no more informations. Only the 4 Saints Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos were buried here. Because of the barbarian migration that occurred beginning with the 4th century, probably the church, which was initially built over the crypt, was destroyed, and the crypt itself, situated under the altar, was covered with rests which protected it for more than 1500 years.
The archaeological researches discovered 2 more rooms, under this crypt, where there were found the bones of 2 more martyrs. The way those bones were found, made the specialists to believe that also these were martyrs. In the earth found, there were 2 offering vessels and a piece of sandstone with the inscription: “here and there the blood of the martyrs”. The 2 martyrs may be some earlier, maybe from the persecution under Decius (249-251).

and Christian basilica built over it in 370 AD
Niculitel village, Tulcea county, Romania
-archaeological site discovered in 1971
www.icemtl.ro/muzeul-de-istorie-si-arheologie-engleza/mon...
Basilica elevated at the end of the 4th century, under Emperors Valens and Valentinianus and rebuilt in the reign of Theodosius II in the early 5th century – over a Palaeo-Christian crypt. The crypt – covered by a hemispheric dome with pendants, housed two superimposed martyr tombs: în the lower level there were the remains of two martyrs with unknown names. At the top level, in a collective coffin, there were the remains of four martyrs whose names: Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis and Philippos as martyrs – Martyres hristou – are recorded on the walls of the crypt.

The Holy Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos from Niculiţel
Martyrs Zotic, Atal, Camasis, and Filip of Niculiţel
Feast day on June 4

The Land of Scythia Minor, the actual Romanian region of Dobrogea, situated between the Danube and the Black Sea was one of the first Christianized regions in the world.
The popular traditions say that St. Andrew the Apostle, in his way from Greece to Scytia (the today Ukraine) went through this region, where he would have stayed a few years, preaching the Gospel to the Dacians, Scythians and the Greek colonists from the cities here.
The attestation of the early Christianity here is also recognized through the archeological discoveries. A few dozens of churches from the 2nd-4th century show the intensity of the Christian activity here. Beyond the rich traditions about the Andrew’s preaching here, there is not much known. It is possible, that the Christianity would be preached here peacefully, also because the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians, the dwellers here were already monotheists.
At the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th there are registered some strong actions of persecutions in the area, in the periods of the Emperors Diocletianus (284/305), Licinius (319-324) and later in the times of Julian the Apostate (361-363), respectively of the King Athanaric of Gothia (about 370-372). More than a dozen of soldiers, priests or simple citizens were killed because they confessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
About those saints martyrs there was not very much to know, only a few notes in some Synaxaries. At 4th of June, the Syriac Martyrologium indicates only the Feast of St. Philip, but the “hieronimian” Martirologium, adds here the names Zoticus, Atalus, Eutichius, Camasis, Quirinus and other 28, unnamed.
These saints were almost forgotten, but they came one more time in the attention after an event which passed about 40 years ago.
In the summer of 1971, after some rich rainfalls, some locals from the small village of Niculitel, known much more because of its vineyards, discovered in a landslide some ruins. After more digging, it was obvious that there are not only some ruins, but an entire crypt built like a small chapel. Inside of it were the bones of 4 men, put into a wooden coffin, and above it were on the walls 2 inscriptions in Greek, painted in red colour: “Martyrs of Christ”, respectively “Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos”. Both inscriptions were accompanied by the sign of Chrismon (XP), an old Christian symbol.
Even if the discovery occurred in the middle of the communist era, it made sensation between the archaeologists, historians and theologians. The crypt confirms the notation about some martyrs with those names, included in the synaxaries mentioned above and into an extended Greek synaxarion, together with other 32 more Christians who died in Scythia Minor, in the Old Noviodunum, a port at the Danube, not far away from the Danube Delta (the actual Isaccea). The historians believe that they died during the persecution of Licinius (319-324), or Julian the Apostate (361-363).
About the other 32 there is no more informations. Only the 4 Saints Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos were buried here. Because of the barbarian migration that occurred beginning with the 4th century, probably the church, which was initially built over the crypt, was destroyed, and the crypt itself, situated under the altar, was covered with rests which protected it for more than 1500 years.
The archaeological researches discovered 2 more rooms, under this crypt, where there were found the bones of 2 more martyrs. The way those bones were found, made the specialists to believe that also these were martyrs. In the earth found, there were 2 offering vessels and a piece of sandstone with the inscription: “here and there the blood of the martyrs”. The 2 martyrs may be some earlier, maybe from the persecution under Decius (249-251).

The Siege of Vraks was an Imperial miltary campaign fought over the course of 17 Terran years to retake the Imperial Armoury World of Vraks Prime from the heretical forces of Chaos led by the Apostate Cardinal-Astra Xaphan. Vraks was besieged by the forces of the Imperium of Man in 813.M41, after the attempted assassination by an agent of the Officio Assassinorum of the heretical and traitorous Cardinal-Astra of the Scarus Sector, Xaphan, failed.
The Astra Militarum's 88th Siege Army was raised from line regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg to undertake the planetary siege of Vraks and bring the Renegade Cardinal down in a campaign of attrition that the Administratum's Adepts calculated would take 12 standard years to successfully conclude.

The Land of Scythia Minor, the actual Romanian region of Dobrogea, situated between the Danube and the Black Sea was one of the first Christianized regions in the world.
The popular traditions say that St. Andrew the Apostle, in his way from Greece to Scytia (the today Ukraine) went through this region, where he would have stayed a few years, preaching the Gospel to the Dacians, Scythians and the Greek colonists from the cities here.
The attestation of the early Christianity here is also recognized through the archeological discoveries. A few dozens of churches from the 2nd-4th century show the intensity of the Christian activity here. Beyond the rich traditions about the Andrew’s preaching here, there is not much known. It is possible, that the Christianity would be preached here peacefully, also because the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians, the dwellers here were already monotheists.
At the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th there are registered some strong actions of persecutions in the area, in the periods of the Emperors Diocletianus (284/305), Licinius (319-324) and later in the times of Julian the Apostate (361-363), respectively of the King Athanaric of Gothia (about 370-372). More than a dozen of soldiers, priests or simple citizens were killed because they confessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
About those saints martyrs there was not very much to know, only a few notes in some Synaxaries. At 4th of June, the Syriac Martyrologium indicates only the Feast of St. Philip, but the “hieronimian” Martirologium, adds here the names Zoticus, Atalus, Eutichius, Camasis, Quirinus and other 28, unnamed.
These saints were almost forgotten, but they came one more time in the attention after an event which passed about 40 years ago.
In the summer of 1971, after some rich rainfalls, some locals from the small village of Niculitel, known much more because of its vineyards, discovered in a landslide some ruins. After more digging, it was obvious that there are not only some ruins, but an entire crypt built like a small chapel. Inside of it were the bones of 4 men, put into a wooden coffin, and above it were on the walls 2 inscriptions in Greek, painted in red colour: “Martyrs of Christ”, respectively “Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos”. Both inscriptions were accompanied by the sign of Chrismon (XP), an old Christian symbol.
Even if the discovery occurred in the middle of the communist era, it made sensation between the archaeologists, historians and theologians. The crypt confirms the notation about some martyrs with those names, included in the synaxaries mentioned above and into an extended Greek synaxarion, together with other 32 more Christians who died in Scythia Minor, in the Old Noviodunum, a port at the Danube, not far away from the Danube Delta (the actual Isaccea). The historians believe that they died during the persecution of Licinius (319-324), or Julian the Apostate (361-363).
About the other 32 there is no more informations. Only the 4 Saints Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos were buried here. Because of the barbarian migration that occurred beginning with the 4th century, probably the church, which was initially built over the crypt, was destroyed, and the crypt itself, situated under the altar, was covered with rests which protected it for more than 1500 years.
The archaeological researches discovered 2 more rooms, under this crypt, where there were found the bones of 2 more martyrs. The way those bones were found, made the specialists to believe that also these were martyrs. In the earth found, there were 2 offering vessels and a piece of sandstone with the inscription: “here and there the blood of the martyrs”. The 2 martyrs may be some earlier, maybe from the persecution under Decius (249-251).

The Holy Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos from Niculiţel
Martyrs Zotic, Atal, Camasis, and Filip of Niculiţel
Feast day on June 4
theodialogia.blogspot.com/2011/06/holy-martyrs-zotikos-at...
The Land of Scythia Minor, the actual Romanian region of Dobrogea, situated between the Danube and the Black Sea was one of the first Christianized regions in the world.
The popular traditions say that St. Andrew the Apostle, in his way from Greece to Scytia (the today Ukraine) went through this region, where he would have stayed a few years, preaching the Gospel to the Dacians, Scythians and the Greek colonists from the cities here.
The attestation of the early Christianity here is also recognized through the archeological discoveries. A few dozens of churches from the 2nd-4th century show the intensity of the Christian activity here. Beyond the rich traditions about the Andrew’s preaching here, there is not much known. It is possible, that the Christianity would be preached here peacefully, also because the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians, the dwellers here were already monotheists.
At the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th there are registered some strong actions of persecutions in the area, in the periods of the Emperors Diocletianus (284/305), Licinius (319-324) and later in the times of Julian the Apostate (361-363), respectively of the King Athanaric of Gothia (about 370-372). More than a dozen of soldiers, priests or simple citizens were killed because they confessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
About those saints martyrs there was not very much to know, only a few notes in some Synaxaries. At 4th of June, the Syriac Martyrologium indicates only the Feast of St. Philip, but the “hieronimian” Martirologium, adds here the names Zoticus, Atalus, Eutichius, Camasis, Quirinus and other 28, unnamed.

First of all , I give the glory back to God for giving us the break of the weather
from days of rain and rain and rain storms, then sun shines , wonderful , no rain at all
for the two days we booked with hubby on this walk. Praise God !
I was praying for this break of the rain , as this wouldn't be a pleasant walk
, neither I'll be motivated to photograph in the middle of outpouring rain.
Even my new lost woolly hat for this walk , I gave up finding it back
was found hung on a fence , no dirt , I had it on this walk :D- too windy
and cold on high elevation. I don't believe anymore in coincidences.
Everything I give back to the Lord. He is so good !
He looks after me :)
...and He will surely look after of those whose hearts
loved Him .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 8:9
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit
of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is
none of his."
Clearly said here - if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of Christ.
When the Holy Spirit is in us, we knew it, just indwelling peace and happiness
and knowing you are of God . Having the Spirit
of God in us , are we to still to love and keep up of the ways of this world ?
God is purging people to remember Him.
In the scale of prolonged disaster in parts of the UK,
though how sad to see people in so much distress
blaming the government for the disasters --
C'mon people, in the first place why you bought your houses in
the flood plains. No wonder , ouch ! I hope people will remember God
in their midst of utter distress .
Living a lifestyle of comfort and success make most people ( not all )
forget God. Loving entertainments that don't glorify
God ; entertainments tolerant to the abominations God has declared ,
pushing all corrupting ideas of fornication, adultery, materialism, self
enhancement , hedonism etc. not the least going into churches that are largely
apostate and fallen .
There will be a time when the government can not anymore
take care of all great scale of disasters , neither secure safety of the entire
population in distress. Be ready people, it's coming . You like this
message or not, you've been warned. This is not only a warning of
the UK but all around the globe.
Freak accidental deaths happened too - you never know it will
be you next .
This is in reflection on the woman who died from heavy falling debris
straight down her car in London. Had she ever thought that morning when
she woke up , it will be her last day?
Most likely not . Is she saved in Christ ? As I watched the news, I
feel deeply saddened . Though I hope she was . Because if not,
then that was her last ...
People who believe there are so many ways to be
spiritually saved, and there's no absolutes -- you're wrong and very
deceived. No more debates / duel with philosophical ideas and arguments.
After all let God be the judge , and He will judge righteously !
Salvation in Christ has already been offered and given by grace to anyone
who believes and receive Him, where salvation is given freely .
Salvation is only for those who believe and everyone is given a choice.
Soon to come the days God will be separate
the righteous from the wicked.
Revelation 22 : 11
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
Let all who is wicked at heart remain wicked - full stop !
Let them that search for God , find Him and have Christ as their
protection and comfort ! Let God reveal His wonders to them
that seek Him.
I do believe we are in the time of the revelation. Revelation of
God's supernatural power, whilst also the great unveiling of
the evil ones, programmes and works of evil doers are disclosed. They
can not hide . Unveiling to us those who are not of God, and their wicked
evil ways to their shame and destruction yet to come .

Hey guys,
great to be back here :) After 5 months nothing to do with bricks and building I'm proudly announce to be back in business. Like every time disney release something new from Mando and Grogu my building motivation increased from 0 to 100. Almost a half year my building motivation and inspiration didn't excist so it was very quiet on my social media.
But for now I want to start with this creation a new building series: Season 3 vignettes from the disney+ series THE MANDALORIAN.
Starting with a small scene on Nevarro from the first chapter: My goal was to catch the new look of that beautiful city and I hope I got it. Here is a small summary of the scene.
[...]
Djarin flies the N-1 starfighter to Nevarro where he is greeted by air traffic control. He tells them that he has come to visit an "old friend." Djarin walks through the streets of Nevarro City while Grogu rides in his repulsorlift cradle. Djarin notices that the streets are cleaner and safer. Droids and beings of different species roam through the streets. Kowakian monkey-lizards watch from trees.
As the two pass a statue of IG-11, Djarin reminds Grogu of his old droid friend. Djarin greets Greef Karga, who has become Nevarro's new High Magistrate. Inside his office, Karga tells Djarin that Nevarro has become an official trade spur of the Hydian Way. Karga also tells him that Nevarro has been undergoing a construction boom due to mining in the system's asteroid field. Karga offers Djarin and Grogu a parcel of land to settle in the outskirts of the city.

Please share your opinion in the comments below.
Greetings Kevin

Basilica elevated at the end of the 4th century, under Emperors Valens and Valentinianus and rebuilt in the reign of Theodosius II in the early 5th century – over a Palaeo-Christian crypt. The crypt – covered by a hemispheric dome with pendants, housed two superimposed martyr tombs: în the lower level there were the remains of two martyrs with unknown names. At the top level, in a collective coffin, there were the remains of four martyrs whose names: Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis and Philippos as martyrs – Martyres hristou – are recorded on the walls of the crypt.

The Holy Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos from Niculiţel
Martyrs Zotic, Atal, Camasis, and Filip of Niculiţel
Feast day on June 4

The Land of Scythia Minor, the actual Romanian region of Dobrogea, situated between the Danube and the Black Sea was one of the first Christianized regions in the world.
The popular traditions say that St. Andrew the Apostle, in his way from Greece to Scytia (the today Ukraine) went through this region, where he would have stayed a few years, preaching the Gospel to the Dacians, Scythians and the Greek colonists from the cities here.
The attestation of the early Christianity here is also recognized through the archeological discoveries. A few dozens of churches from the 2nd-4th century show the intensity of the Christian activity here. Beyond the rich traditions about the Andrew’s preaching here, there is not much known. It is possible, that the Christianity would be preached here peacefully, also because the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians, the dwellers here were already monotheists.
At the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th there are registered some strong actions of persecutions in the area, in the periods of the Emperors Diocletianus (284/305), Licinius (319-324) and later in the times of Julian the Apostate (361-363), respectively of the King Athanaric of Gothia (about 370-372). More than a dozen of soldiers, priests or simple citizens were killed because they confessed their faith in Jesus Christ.
About those saints martyrs there was not very much to know, only a few notes in some Synaxaries. At 4th of June, the Syriac Martyrologium indicates only the Feast of St. Philip, but the “hieronimian” Martirologium, adds here the names Zoticus, Atalus, Eutichius, Camasis, Quirinus and other 28, unnamed.
These saints were almost forgotten, but they came one more time in the attention after an event which passed about 40 years ago.
In the summer of 1971, after some rich rainfalls, some locals from the small village of Niculitel, known much more because of its vineyards, discovered in a landslide some ruins. After more digging, it was obvious that there are not only some ruins, but an entire crypt built like a small chapel. Inside of it were the bones of 4 men, put into a wooden coffin, and above it were on the walls 2 inscriptions in Greek, painted in red colour: “Martyrs of Christ”, respectively “Martyrs Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos”. Both inscriptions were accompanied by the sign of Chrismon (XP), an old Christian symbol.
Even if the discovery occurred in the middle of the communist era, it made sensation between the archaeologists, historians and theologians. The crypt confirms the notation about some martyrs with those names, included in the synaxaries mentioned above and into an extended Greek synaxarion, together with other 32 more Christians who died in Scythia Minor, in the Old Noviodunum, a port at the Danube, not far away from the Danube Delta (the actual Isaccea). The historians believe that they died during the persecution of Licinius (319-324), or Julian the Apostate (361-363).
About the other 32 there is no more informations. Only the 4 Saints Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis, Philippos were buried here. Because of the barbarian migration that occurred beginning with the 4th century, probably the church, which was initially built over the crypt, was destroyed, and the crypt itself, situated under the altar, was covered with rests which protected it for more than 1500 years.
The archaeological researches discovered 2 more rooms, under this crypt, where there were found the bones of 2 more martyrs. The way those bones were found, made the specialists to believe that also these were martyrs. In the earth found, there were 2 offering vessels and a piece of sandstone with the inscription: “here and there the blood of the martyrs”. The 2 martyrs may be some earlier, maybe from the persecution under Decius (249-251).

The Spirit of God will guide you if you search truly for truth and ask God .If you are close to the Lord ,you will know time is getting so near .

DESTRUCTION OF DAMASCUS IS HAPPENING RIGHT IN OUR TIME!
THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST DAYS BIBLICAL PROPHECIES TO BE FULFILLED AND NOW UNDERWAY - for Damscus as heap of ruins.
Are these middleast wars happening today specific and connecting to what Jesus said as signs of His coming - " rumours of wars"in Matthew 24 .
Too many wars happening through the ages between countries ,Kingdoms .
But when this will involve the ordained nation of Israel , my gut feeling says -this is it !
I do feel we are right into the Birth pangs.
Can any external forces stop this conflict in Syria ?
I doubt it . Syria conflict has reached the point of no return .
This prophecy of Damascus has to be fulfilled otherwise what God has told will make Him become a liar.Just observed what happens next --
The Bible stated in the book of Isaiah chaper 17 of the horrible events that will take place in the lands of Israel and Syria. One of these events is the disappearance of Damascus as one of the premiere cities in the world. The oldest continuously inhabited city on the planet, Damascus has witnessed at least 5,000 years of human history, and some historians believe the city actually dates back to the seventh millennium BC. In fact, Paul was on the road to Damascus when Christ first appeared to Him, an event that transformed not only his life, but the course of human history.
To those Christians keeping an eye of events linking to prophecies ,I assume you know these things to happen and I don't doubt this is the one.
“This message came to me concerning Damascus: ‘Look, Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer will be deserted. Sheep will graze in the streets and lie down unafraid. There will be no one to chase them away. The fortified cities of Israel will also be destroyed, and the power of Damascus will end. The few left in Aram will share the fate of Israel’s departed glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Isaiah 17:1-3 (NLT)
But Israel would never be removed ,the Bible said so.
Though Israel become a burdensome stone ,perhaps of what Israel will do to all those nations on alliance coming to attack her .These gonna happen friends .

MAINE PREPARING FOR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE RIGHT NOW!!!
Zombies in Texas ,NY ,Illinois ? lol ,this is it ,as people want it .
I 've said from my observations through the years that halloween has captivated hearts of many with evidence by how get on with celebrating it .Majority of people regard it as non-harmful part of tradition .Some would get to the extent to defend it like mad .The halloween spirit has also influenced the fashion industry . Around halloween many dressed up especially children as little witches ,zombies ,vampires etc ,from mild to extreme playing trick or treats.Halloween fashion is a big industry .There's big trading for dark paraphernalias,to clothing , halloween house decors ,music ,food products such as candies and cakes .Western culture has adopted it into its tradition to put jack-o -lanterns in their front yards without even its dark origins . Then you get rise of a different vampirism inspired fashion ,portrayed as cool and hip trend among the youths .The arrival of the Harry Potter series of books /movies ,rise of vampiric movies /tv series e.g. Stephany Meyer's Vampire saga added more fkavour to dominion of darkness in our age especially with young people who hardly recognize "back and white".These factors lay foundations of change for the unsuspecting lukewarm /apostate majority in acceptance of transforming dark essence of the occult into many lives with with very poor discernment .
Made me wonder where's the christian churches in these changing times to stand for the truth of Christ . Churches seem to have gone quiete from real issues of the times. I wonder if this is the real fulfilmment of prophecies about end time apostacy of the church - meaning ,many will leave faith in the end times .Apart from growing desbelief you can see of people, many will follow false doctrines,new age doctrines /doctrines of demons proliferating .Even Satanism is now considered a religion . It's not anymore any secret or a taboo .With the explosion of occults ,witchcrafts ,Satanism in our midst ,the churches have gonee timid . I suspect many churches must have gone lukewarm , apostate or gone completely comatose to make a stand to defend the faith .In terms of zombies happening in real life in our time ,possibly it will.There are evidence suggesting events fitteng descriptions of zombie-like pestilence which had occured and cost many lives in the past .Just do your own research.The Holy Bible also has passages implying of zombies " walking pestilence" and also in the Book of Zaccharia .I don't have time to give verses references yet but I'll repost this later .

The US shutdown is a forewarning of times ahead, not just the US alone but
globally. I hope I would not be living on this timeline as prophesied will
happen when a day's wages will be just worth a loaf of bread ... mega
inflation maybe after economic collapse? When our elites, the very rich
will hide under their bunkers. Just some passing thought .
Hope this would not be too soon, a bit more time before it happens I wish.
I woke up in awareness in 2011 , times are changing.
I have shared this scenario to my extended families living abroad ,
but they think I am just crazy especially getting involve into deep Chritistianity
and to them I sound very unusual or fundamental . One even said to me
why can't I be just like other Christians --- what , other Christians ,
they must have meant like those apostate majority ?
Going to church on Sundays , the rest of the week living like the devil ?
I suppose the blind can't see.
I'm not bashing my unbelieving families but sometimes it can be
irritating too. Sometimes it's a release to air it in my flickr page
than to them . I should act like a patient Christian, as fruits of
the Holy Spirit gives us more patience. I am patient as much
as I could, but hey I'm still human, only that I'm forgiven.
They're always in my prayers , when things go unpleasant ,
they'll know what to do.

King Leonreante (Royal Pegasus Mount):
The Holy Land is an island off of the eastern coast of Warscape's mainland. It is a rocky island, with deep, lush grass and bristly plants. The inhabitants of the Holy Land are a people with intense religious fervor. They worship their single god more than anything else and rule with a feudalistic society. They are led in their religious zealotry by their King, Leonreante.
Taught from a young age at the city of Laufcreluex to seek religious fruition above all else as well as upholding the honor and chivalry of the knights and nobles of the land, Leonreante was molded into one of the finest citizens of the Holy Land. Leonreante became king upon the death of his father and was bequeathed with the Honor Sword, which is the immaculate two-handed greatsword passed down through the royal line of the Holy Land.
Riding into battle on his Royal Pegasus mount Bravourec, a magnificent and rare animal with a coat and hooves as gold as the brightest steel, Leonreante is seen as a beacon of hope and leadership for the armies of the Holy Land. Adorned in splendid armor and wearing the Holy Crown atop his lustrous black hair, the king fells his foes one by one until the battle is won or until he succumbs to his defeat.
Upholding his religious fervor and chivalric attitude, Leonreante has mustered the forces of the Holy Land to purge all of Warscape from heretics and apostates. For Honor and Faith!!
Romans 12:2
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
This may sound kind of boring life to many who had been used these kind of things. I'd been through drinking alcohol for sure and even went up to a level when I tend to love it more. But thanks God before I get too hooked or my life ruined alongside those pleasures of the world , God just took me back from my backslidden state . I woke up in the Lord in 2011 and never to look back , I don't even miss those things of the world. Once we have the renewal of our minds and spirit in Christ, receiving a true outpouring of the Holy Spirit , you are in real peace with yourself and that you know deep inside, you are a renewed person and right connected with the Lord, basically you know deep in you , is right with God, saved in Christ and your name is written in the Book of life . There's no struggle leaving these things behind . It's all replaced with deep inner peace and joy in the Lord. I can't see anyone who classify herself or himself a born-again Christian found chilling out inside bars , even going through slippery road of temptation into drugs and fornication, dancing in those music of the world offered to devils ? Oh yeah, and on Sundays going to church ? How typical . While the rest of week living like the devil , oh dear . If anyone falls in this condition, I'm sorry to say, and it would be no surprise some are in it . The person
under this description is falling into of the basket membership of Laodecian Church as spoken the book of Revelations . Laodecian church is fallen church , a real apostate congregation of Christians , which is in great number of these days . The true gospel isn't preach in this type of church , neither they preach the end of times topics , no sermons of repentance and of convictions of sin. They like to preach sugar coated messages , get-wealthy by God's grace message promoting covetousness and love of riches of this world. Sad to know many like to listen to those type sermons. Many church ministers carried on with their Laodecian practices because themselves are either blinded , even unsaved and were afraid of the haunting idea loosing great number of church goers should they preach deep messages of repentance . Because of their love of status and money, they keep a blind eye, to maintain church numbers . These type of ministers in the churches of today will stand before the judgement seat of God and answer their works and of the great number of lost souls who went to their churches thinking they are saved but who will forever be damned along with them.
Christians who are called by His name and is truly of God, should come in
between, to catch the lost souls , in whatever gift God gives you , used it.
Be a fruitful servant.
By way I never struggle getting off my favourite wordly music either.
It seem just automatic " switch off " all my desires of those carnal things
just gone from my cravings with the strength of Christ.
When you have Jesus in your hearts, there is real peace, not in the world but inside of us.
No matter how the world will go, even if it turns upside down, "reeling to and fro" as in Isaiah description for end of days, we are with the Lord. If we physically die , but we knew it is gain as we are translated right with God. There's no fear of death when you have Jesus
Christ, no one needs to tell you, as your spirit will know it . If we don't have Christ -
then death becomes a very scary thought !
As this present age seem in transition to something very dark , real dark
I hope this is a message not viewed offensive but rather as
encouragement to hold on to faith of Jesus Christ of the Bible,
rather be hot for the Lord than
lukewarm. And if anyone isn't sure or have questions , just do a silent
prayer and call out on his name, His name is above all names.

Think - if you are caught up in like situation, can you
stand for Christ and your faith of him ? This is coming my friends.
The Book of Revelations speaks of these things to come to pass.
I do strongly believe we are the generation born to see these things.
Don't dismay, for this is an awaited time - to see Jesus. If you happen
to be one of these people caught up and wouldn't deny Jesus,
God will give you the crown of life for standing for Jesus even to
death as testimony of your faith. He is the coming King of Kings
and Lord of Lords , and every knee shall bow before Him and
every tongue shall confess that He is Lord.
For those who are left behind and alive to be confronted of
these things, I do pray you all have the strength of Christ never
to deny Him as a testimony of your faith .

This might be one of the weirdest places I have ever been. Well, the Basilica is surrounded by a high wall. There is a locked gate and a bell, but it has not been opened. So I was not inside.
This is the headquarters of the Palmarian Christian Church. The story begins with an apparition of the Virgin Mary in Palmar de Troya in 1968. In 1969, Clemente Domínguez visited the site of the apparition, where he said he had a divine vision. People gathered. In 1975, the Palmarians founded a religious order and had several priests ordained. After the death of Pope Paul VI in 1978, Clemente Domínguez claimed that he had been mystically crowned Pope of the Catholic Church by Jesus Christ and was to reign as Pope Gregory XVII from El Palmar de Troya.
There have been three subsequent Palmarian Popes. Currently reigning since 2016 is swiss born Pope Petrus III. (aka Joseph Odermatt ), who accused his predecessor Ginés Jesús Hernández of discrediting the Palmarian Church and of stealing two million euros from the church. He then declared him an apostate and excommunicated him.
a Joes Sistah texture was applied
Ye genial Nymphs, whose ready tears
On all occasions swiftly flow;
Whose bosoms heave with fancied fears,
With fancied flames and phrenzy glow
Say, will you mourn my absent name,
Apostate from your gentle train
An infant Bard, at least, may claim
From you a sympathetic strain.
Lord Byron
In 74 BC, the Roman city was founded by Pompejus on the site of a local settlement. The city served to secure the Pyrenees crossing from Roncesvalles.
Pamplona was destroyed several times in the course of its history:
466 by the Visigoths, 542 by the Franks, 778 by Charlemagne, 924 by Abd ar-Rahman III and in 1521 during the Franco-Spanish War by troops of Francis I.
Its location on the Way of St. James from France gave the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre a boom in the 11th century. With the division of Navarre, the city ultimately came to Spain.
After the conquest of the country and its incorporation into Castile in 1512-1515, Pamplona became one of the outposts of the Spanish crown on the French border. Its mission for 300 years was to secure the border against a possible invasion from France. Fortifications and walls were a vital system of defense, but at the same time prevented the city from expanding.
The museum is located in the old hospital “Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia de Pamplona” from the 16th century. However, only the facade with the main entrance and the former chapel remain of the hospital.
The Leyre Casket (Arqueta de Leyre)
This is one of the jewels of Hispano-Arab Islamic art.
The casket was carved during the Caliphate of Cordoba. The year of production is given as 395 AH (1004/1005 CE). The casket was produced for ʿAbd al-Malik, political and military leader of the caliphate from 1002 to 1008. ʿAbd al-Malik is best known for being the son of Almanzor, vizier of Hisham II, but also military leader and strong politician of the caliphate.
At some point, as Christian kingdoms raided or conquered al-Andalus, the casket came into Christian hands and was donated to the Monastery of Leyre (from which it takes its name). At Leyre the casket was repurposed as a reliquary to hold the remains of Saints Nunilo and Alodia, believed to have been executed as apostates during persecutions of Christians by ʿAbd al-Raḥman II, emir of Cordoba, on the mid-ninth century.
The casket was later held by the Church of Santa María la Real in Sangüesa and the Treasury of the Cathedral of Pamplona.
