Thinking: #DatingRevelation One of the sure signs that the book of Revelation was written pre AD 70 is the fact that nothing was written about the history changing fall of the Old Covenant Temple. And remember it is a proven fact that the Temple was completely destroyed circa AD 70... If Revelation was written post AD 70 undoubtedly there would have been some eyewitness record of its destruction. In my opinion, the fact there is none is another solid proof for a pre AD 70 date... #justthinking #Revelationpread70

Here is today's book highlight: A sociopathic ask is one put forward without a shred of empathy. The asker has no clue that you, the askee, have a life or a family or a career or any demands upon your time. He or she cares only about what you can do for them. The Daily Pressfield: A Teaching a Day from the Author of the War of Art by Steven Pressfield

We are all walking books, each of us carrying a story etched long before our birth. Our past lives, our ancestral lineages, they've all contributed to the unique narrative we embody. This isn't a story we can rewrite; the past is immutable, a history already written in the grand library of existence. We are released onto the shelves of this era, ready to be read, to be understood, surrounded by countless other volumes – fellow travelers on this earthly journey. Each interaction, each experience, adds a new chapter, a new page to our unfolding tale. No one can alter the fundamental plot of our lives, the core essence of who we are, the lessons we've learned across lifetimes. What we can do, however, is to embrace the narrative, to understand the chapters already written, and to consciously craft the future chapters, adding our own unique voice and perspective to the ever-evolving story. We are not passive readers in our own lives; we are authors, shaping our destinies through the choices we make, the lessons we learn, and the connections we forge. The past informs the present, but the present shapes the future. Our journey is a continuous edition, a work in progress, a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the ever-unfolding mystery of existence.
