@WesleyLHuff Besides the incredible historical significance of a find like that, of course!

Jeremiah is exactly correct, the Ark of the covenant isn't sitting in a monastery somewhere being guarded by monks. The Jewish Talmud says it was never returned after the Babylonian exile in late 6th century BC; Maimonides says that it could be buried in tunnels Solomon made under the temple mount; 2nd Macc. 2 says Jeremiah hid it at Mt. Nebo; Samaritan tradition says it was buried in Mt. Garizim. And let's be honest, even if it was in an Orthodox Tewahedo church in Ethiopia (which I'm pretty confident it isn't), it wouldn't matter. The Ark was meant to point to and is fully fulfilled in Jesus. If it still physically exists it holds no power or authority than any other ancient box.

@MattWalshShow Appreciate the honest assessment of Erika’s plight and the broader issue. Europeans prosecute blatant defamation, but while Americans usually rely on lawsuits over state protection, that system is clearly failing in the new media landscape.

Erika Kirk Is Being Grotesquely Defamed Yet Again

@Joel7Richardson Did you read Jason Staples book, Paul and the Resurrection of Israel?

When discussing Romans 11, Abraham's seed, and "all Israel," etc., the primary source of confusion for most people is the inability to recognize category errors or to think beyond oversimplified dichotomies. 90% of the discussions around these things seem to fall into the same logical pitfalls.

@MattWalshBlog What about the protection of American bases throughout the world / Middle East? Where does that fall in your definition of net benefit?

I supported the Venezuela operation and I’m on board with acquiring Greenland because they both pass the only litmus test I care about: Will it be a net benefit to the United States? Venezuela and Greenland are low risk, high reward. Big wins for our people. We gain much and lose little or nothing. Easy call, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not actually an isolationist. I’m just an America First conservative in the strictest sense of the term. Does the benefit for America outweigh the cost? It must, or it’s a bad policy. This is one of my absolute core political principles, and always has been. With this Iran thing, I don’t see how the math works in our favor. Or at least it seems highly unlikely that it will work in our favor. And so I’m against it. If that puts me at odds with the administration, and with much of the conservative commentariat, so be it. I have to stick to what I believe. People who have followed my work for a long time are not remotely surprised by my stance on this.

@Protestia Yeah, I’m pretty sure we should all be able to agree that you can’t have been a wolf and go back to being a shepherd.

And to be clear: no clue if he's truly repentant or etc or whatever. Just thought it was unique to have him describe himself this way.

'I was abusive...I was a wolf. I was a wolf....I was a revenous wolf whose conscience was seared..that's where my heart was.' Jonathan Welton, whose ministry imploded 7 years ago after he was caught engaging in sexual misconduct, released a video candidly acknowledging this.

@RubinReport Were you able to find clips of the many criticisms that she made or Candace? I’m curious. Also, the mannerism similar to Tucker is bizarre.

It’s not just that she’s an obvious liar who is incredibly easy to see though, she also just comes off as bitter and unpleasant now…

@RubinReport I sincerely hope that the online world will wise up but how sure can you be? I would like to think that may people now feel similarly as I feel, that they were duped by Megyn. I guess it took the fifth time of her telling me to “F” off that I finally believe her.

On Tucker and Megyn... Something hit me last night outside of their obvious descent into conspiracy riddled madness and endless chase for every last click. Both of them came from mainstream media and are still relatively new to the online world. This isn’t the place they wanted to be, rather it’s the place they were banished to. They come from the cutthroat mainstream world which only cares about views and egos. So their behavior in this ecosystem is just replicating that. They love the feuds, the quest for ratings, the little lies, the backstabbing, because that’s all they knew from their previous lives. The online word was built by people who forged trusted audiences over long periods of time. Not people who were just given a flashy set, smacked with a lot of makeup and sat behind high contrast lighting and a shiny desk. Trust and authenticity is the key in this world, but that’s not the world they come from. Tucker was going down this path for awhile, and Megyn saw clicks and attention so dove in. As their ship sinks, they’re gripping onto each other like Rose and Jack at the end of Titanic. Their former mainstream colleagues have lost respect for them, and they’ve chosen to spit in the faces of the new media people who they think they’re better than. As they float in the icy waters of conspiracy and clicks, it’s important to note they never wanted to be in this space to begin with. They genuinely think they’re better than everyone else in the game because of their names, but that doesn’t fly in the online world. On cable news you can lie to your audience over and over, and they’ll just keep tuning in because it’s all they know. In the online world people will wisen up and find better choices. They have chosen each other. We’ll see how that works out for them…

@Joel7Richardson Joel, can you put together a top ten book list from the past year or two years for us if you get around to it? Would be super thankful!

Hebrews may be one of the most consistently misunderstood letters in the entire New Testament. That’s why Daniel Lancaster’s two-part, plain-spoken commentary is such a gift. It's clear, grounded, and deeply needed.

@willchamberlain @davereaboi Wow! An epistemological view of antisemitism. Very important read.

Incredible piece from @davereaboi tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

@RudyCerda Jesus Christ is Lord

Preach a sermon in 3-5 words. I’ll start: You must be born again!

@TorbenSonder @Joel7Richardson Thats an amazing clip.

@Joel7Richardson @RealCandaceO This one is special x.com/hedgewood14/st…

Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) uses Jesus just like she is using Charlie Kirk. Jesus is not her model and example; He is just another tool for her own self-promotion. She is not displaying the fruit of the Spirit; she is literally manifesting demons.

@Joel7Richardson @JoshuaH29403304 Fox News won a 2020 court case arguing that Tucker Carlson was indeed NOT a journalist.

@JoshuaH29403304 You cannot be serious. He was a journalist. Now he is a brazenly biased propagandist barely convincing anyone he's serious.

Demon possession🐲😈👹is identifiable by Israel🇮🇱obsession.

@davidbrymer Happy Birthday! I really appreciate your music and the depth of longing and affection you express to the Lord through it. God bless!

Its my b-day today, and im posting this to elicit all the good vibes, birthday messages and well wishes a person could have on a day like this ☺️ basically i need each of you to wish me a happy birthday

@Joel7Richardson If only we could just zoom in in real life

@ShrumJustin The eye doctor is on my to-do list.

New studio arrangement is almost done. Have fun, bibliophiles.

@Joel7Richardson Ha, I see a bunch of others noticed this too

@grok @furkangozukara @cenkuygur @grok what is the Islamic profile of the Antichrist?

In Islam, Jesus (Isa) is believed to return before the Day of Judgment to defeat the Dajjal (Antichrist) and establish justice, as supported by authentic hadiths. Key examples include Sahih al-Bukhari (Vol. 4, Book 55, Hadith 657), stating Jesus will descend as a just ruler, break the cross, kill the pig, and abolish the jizya, and Sahih Muslim (Book 41, Hadith 7015), describing similar actions. These hadiths are considered strong due to reliable narrators. Interpretations vary, with some viewing actions as symbolic. While widely accepted in Islam, details differ across scholars, and historical authenticity is debated by some academics.

You know which prophet returns to save humanity in Islam? Not Mohamed. Jesus. Muslims view the Koran as the third book. They believe Jesus was taken to heaven and will return in end times. How many Americans know that? Almost none. Why? US media had to get you to hate Muslims.

@CatalyticMin I agree with all of this. I wonder if Paul is referring to the pursuit of this resurrection in Philippians 3:11-15? If so, would it not be a goal of all disciples to be found worthy of the calling; to be useful to Messiah when He returns?

🧵NOT SPIRITUAL METAPHOR The “first resurrection” described in Revelation 20 occurs before the thousand-year reign of Christ and must be understood as a bodily resurrection, not a spiritual metaphor. John writes, “They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years ended. This is the first resurrection” (Rev. 20:4–5). The text explicitly contrasts two groups: those who come to life and reign with Christ, and those who remain dead until after the millennium. This demands a sequential, bodily resurrection—not a metaphor for conversion or spiritual renewal.👇

@reachjulieroys A serious question: have we seen a leader yet that has had something exposed of his own ministry and didn’t play the DARVO playbook?

,@DrMichaelLBrown is returning to ministry, hinting he’s been cleared, but has he? And is his latest video truth—or attempt at image repair & lies? In eye-opening podcast, I examine video w/@RonSCantor, Brown's frmr close friend w/ behind-the-scenes info julieroys.com/podcast/michae…

@catturd2 Me too

X keeps going down for me. Can anyone see this?
