Praise Him with timbrel and dance Psalm 150:4

 I wrote something about 'light' in doing Psalm 150:4 (Praise Him with timbrel and  dance). Yes, I know that we have pianoforte and tother instruments. What we need to 'know' is that these, like rhymes on hymns and musical notation are glorifications. But we do not need to ignore how the Bible taught us. In that way we would be comprehensive. (Goedel's Incompleteness work destroys non-contradiction, and Heisenberg's Uncertainty work destroys correspondence--so we must be comprehensive). Now the timbrel was the dominant percussion instrument in Ancient Israel--the tambourine. So we shake it appropriately. The dance emphases the light. Here's how the dance goes. Imagin you are standing in the middle of the tabernacle. To start, step back with both feet into the Holy of Holies area. Then with the left foot go to the Altar/Firmament/Second Day. Then to the Table/Third Day/Spread, and then, again with left foot, right staying in Holy of Holies, to Light/Luminaries/4th Day. Now, conflating 4th Day/Light with Incarnation/Resurrection--this dance does not exhaust possibilities--we move the left foot back to the HoH as Ascenscion. The left again goes to us, the living sacrifices as Pentecost, wnd with the destruction of A. D. 70, we newly spread (left again) and then go out as light, the right foot going to the Lampstand area  as we are to spread the light. Does this make sense as praising Him with timbrel and dance, the light?

Life After Capitalism Gilder

$2.4 billion books free, industrial diamonds 4,000+ to one, 22 bicycles for the price of one--that's 'progress' Jim Rohret

Author of national bestseller Life After Google and generation-defining Wealth and Poverty, venture capitalist, futurist, and pioneering thinker extraordinaire George Gilder pinpoints how the clash of creativity with power at the heart of economic systems leads to global cognitive dissonance and argues that the creation of the novel taps capitalism's infinite promise and is humanity's only path of escape from stagnation and tyranny. Gilder once more rocks the archetypes of modern information theory and economics with a paradigm-shifting salvo of sheer brilliance.

The capitalist era is over—get ready for life after capitalism.

For more than two hundred years, capitalism spread wealth around the globe, bringing unprecedented prosperity and progress, liberating human potential. But something has gone terribly wrong in the world economy.

Creativity and faith in the future—capitalism’s crucial ingredients—seem to have run out. The elites think they can maintain a nation’s wealth by printing money and investing it in favored industries. Their trust in bureaucratic experts, their cautionary paranoia, and their delusional belief that they can “control” everything from the spread of a virus to the weather, are sucking the life out of the economy. Ordinary people, their freedoms restricted, their prospects dim, are losing their faith in their institutions.

Such misguided corporatism and pride, confusion and despair, are the result of a deep misunderstanding of capitalism itself.

The bestselling futurist and venture capitalist George Gilder explains why economics is not an incentive system to be manipulated but an information system to be freed. Material resources are essentially as plentiful as the atoms of the universe. What drives economic growth in a free market is our limitless human ingenuity and creativity.

2 Timothy May 25 Biblical Law of 12 Small Enthusiastic Groups

 2 Timothy May 25 Biblical Law of 12 Small Enthusiastic Groups

Bullinger writes that from 2 Timothy 2:1 to 3:4 we have charges re: Gospel and Iniquity.

Greg Hartman in 'New Testament Imperativity' has #303 2 Timothy 2:19 'Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. There are more ways to embrace iniquity now than 2000 years ago. These should be pointed out. Though they are difficult to avoid, we should know what they are, maturely.

Maimonides' #303 is embedded in the midst, thus: 

1. Lev. 23:14 — Not to eat parched grains from new grain before the Omer
2. Lev. 23:14 — Not to eat ripened grains from new grain before the Omer
3. Lev. 23:15 — Each man must count the Omer – seven weeks from the day the new wheat offering was brought. The Omer is the period between Passover and what we now call Pentecost. Thus, for them, it seems to be a period of waiting. How did Christ fulfill this? Well, it was 40 days after Resurrection before Ascension. He rose on the 3rd day, Christ our First Fruits. Pentecost, the sending of the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truth, was after 49 days. We waited.

Love in King Jesus,

Chuck

PS: Others will do this better. It's about waiting, timing, the times, knowing.

Praise Him with timbrel and dance Psalm 150:4

 Praise Him with timbrel and dance PS. 150:4

I'm an idiot, but if you are interested, this is potentially something, optionally, potentially, hypothetically, maybe... provisionally, as a first step, perhaps...

Yes, it arose from singing Psalm 150, but not DOING what it COMMANDED--or articulating why not, or why we did it the way we did it. 'If you know why you are doing what you do, you're OK, but if you don't, you're not OK.'

1-Timbrel. Tambourine, principal percussion instrument of Ancient Israelites.

2--Dance. Perhaps as a recap of history. Probable not a square dance, or foxtrot, or waltz, or 1960s independent shaking. Probably not man-woman or group. But 'I'm an idiot...'

if, I say if one is in the center of the tabernacle, the first step could be backward to the Holy of Holies, into darkness from which come light. Then forward to the altar/Firmament, Day 2. Then to vegetation/Table, Day 3, and then to luminaries/Lampstand, Day 4.

To get to Resurrection, an in place left-right, maybe. Then Ascend, Day 9, back to Holy of Holies, whence comes Pentecost unto us the Firmament, and then to the whole world, and finally the Final Light.

Two fours equal 8, thus.

But others will do better. These are first steps. Use timbrels/tambourines  for emphasis?

Love in King Jesus,

Chuck

JBJ mentioned once, somewhere that while Israel was in Exile, God raised up systems of thought for us to deal with later.

Here are a few thoughts.

1--Greek Philosophy: This is handled by defenders, and by JBJ in his 'The Case Against Western Civilization': 

1. biblicalhorizons » No. 36: The Case Against Western ...

   biblicalhorizons.com/open-book/no-36-the-case...

   Both of these groups advocate a return to the synthetic culture called "Western Civilization," an unholy (and unstable) mixture of Greco-Roman paganism and Biblical religion.

    

2. 2--Buddhism. I haven't read much other than 'The Buddha from Babylon,' which if I remember correctly, held that he was leader of some sect, became short-time Emperor, and then went to India.

   3--Confucianism. Some book with 'golden' in the title , I think, has worked on this, and the wonderful 'God's Promise (or Gift?) to the Chinese' which shows that early ideographs of Chines show the influence of Genesis story, and may have been done shortly after the Flood.

Marketing (e)t mkr metathesis Mousetraps in garage?

 (e)t mkr  metathesis Mousetraps in garage?

 

'Origin of Speeches' claims that a proto-Hebrew was the original language (ursprache).

IIRC it does a lot of metathesis--changing the order of consonants.

So, taking JBJ's insight that 'et' is alpha and omega, aleph and tav, could we say that the alpha and omega of paying the brideprice (mkr) is 'market'ing?

I think, so but I'm an idiot, so if/as/when this interests  you, it might possible, hypothetically, optionally, conceivably be valuable to consider how best to market. This has been done with 'Against Christianity' of course.

JBJ 3 Reformation Worship

 Do this and report bak. Could use Ps. 117 (Hebrew, Hebrew Cadence) and Song of Whole Bible. But do this and report back.

His GREAT book 'Through New Eyes' is FREE at http://www.garynorth.com/freebooks. I also recommend Theopolis Institute both websit and Facebook. Also check out in Africa Elisha Nehemiah (
Facebook) and Adullam.

The Reformers were great guys, but they were guys after all and they lived when they lived. They were all bookmen and they produced churches oriented towards literate people, upper middle class people, like you and me. People who lived in towns and who made money, so much money that they could actually buy a personal family Bible and even a family singing psalter!! Not the kind of people God was concerned about in the Bible, people who learned through hearing not by reading. 

     We live in modern times. The Authorized Version (King James) of the Bible was made at the turn of these times. So one of the concerns of the translators was that it be cadential for reading aloud. The original Hebrew was clearly written in such a way -- the stories are not in paragraphs but in lines: and ... and ... and... and. If our Bibles were set out in this way, we would all feel the music of the text more easily. But when the AV was printed, paper and ink were dear, so it saved a lot of space to put everything into one verse and leave out some of the "ands" to make for "smoother English."

     The Reformers, except for the English, made the horrible decision to substitute metrical hymns for the Divine psalms. Many of these early collections of metrical psalms are wonderful and exciting, but they are not and cannot be (to any sane person) substitutes for God's word. The English wound up setting the psalms to Anglican Chant, which sadly entails harmonization and is largely impossible for whole churches to do. 

     Now, I strongly recommend churches set up quarterly or monthly Psalm Roars [Amos 1:2] using the Genevan Psalter. Invite others to come. Do not allow Scottish psalms or the Trinity Hymnal or Book of Psalms for Singing of anything else to creep in. You will eventually wind up with a Psalm Meow instead of a Roar. Stick with the tough stuff, the Roars. Your kids will thank you. Here again Psalm Roars are for literate people, and that is only 50% of the American populace.

     So what do we need to do and what should the Reformers have done? We need to stop thinking of liturgy as prayerbook worship and think of it as dictated worship. Call and response. That is how it must have been in Bible times. At the Temple of course the psalms would have been sung so often, all day long daily, that they would have become memorized in a quick amount of time; only by one group of the total Levites, that is.  Likely also Levite singers were among the people trained to read.

     Out in the hills and farmlands, however, things were different. There was no need for book learning there; only knowledge of the symbols and marks needed for one's profession. The only way people learned the stories in Genesis, Exodus and Numbers, Joshua and Judges, and later in Samuel and early Kings, was from local Levites who met with groups of people locally from time to time and read from rare parchments and scrolls, or else just taught from memory. These Levites, we hope, would have taught a few psalms to their local groups, obviously by dictating them by singing them line by line and having the people sing after, until they had them memorized.

     Happily, we live after the industrial revolution and both paper and ink are no longer as dear as once they were. Books are possible, and the Reformation became overly bookish without thinking about it. Reformation churches assume people who read paragraphs, daily newspapers or occasional magazines, and who can come to church and read a hymnal and a bulletin.

    But the fact is that a lot of people are not like this at all. When you take your automobile in for repair, you see a book with 50,00 pages on the shelf, but what is in that book is not paragraphs but diagrams and pictures, arrows and directions to other pages. You can't read it, unless you learn this foreign language.  Lots of people get off work and do not go home and read a novel; they watch television or meet friends for a card game or drink! Visit their home and you do not see a bookshelf in the living room lined with Stephen King or anybody else. 

     These are half the population of any society. They have been ignored by the Reformation churches. That needs to stop. And now.

     What could we do? Well, dictate worship instead of having people read it. Let's assume you will not have a bulletin at all. Nope. You are now crippled. No prayer-book. No bulletin. What do you do? {shake, tremble} Let's see. Worship begins with Confession of Sin. You read a line and then the congregation prays it after you:

Let us pray:

Almighty God

  Almighty God

I, a poor sinner, 

  I, a poor sinner, 

Confess to You that I have grievously sinned against You 

  Confess to You that I have grievously sinned against You 

In word and deed,

   In word and deed,

And in thought and attitude.

Not only in outward transgressions, 

But also in secret thoughts and desires

That I am not able to understand, 

But which are all known to You. 

I am in need of salvation from my sin

And deliverance from Your enemies. 

For this reason I flee for safety to Your infinite mercy, 

Seeking and imploring your forgiveness and deliverance, 

Through my Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Anointed Ruler. Amen.

     And after this you're going to have a psalm or three and you or a cantor will sing a line and have the congregation repeat the line after. Imagine how quickly the psalms will get into the bones of your people when they work through them this way. Yes, they'll get them memorized pretty quick, but you have to keep the worship friendly to new people that God is bringing in, so you have to keep dictating the psalms. 

  Well, that's enough for starters. Worship should be short and direct, not fluffy, not with a variety of leaders. Prayers should be short and concentrated, and using high-speech, not colloquial-speech. The same is true of Scripture reading, intoned in phrases (hear that, Jim Jordan??).

40 American History Community Health

 Host A 107 40 for Community Health American History

 

I need 40, PLEASE add what you think is important

 

THE GENERAL IDEA: In American History course, members of the community will tell of their expertise from the movement through the Bering Land Bridge (at that time) to, let’s say, a Mars Colony and beyond. This will give students perspective, and make for a good course, with manual and membership site for return on investment. Student, Presenters, Employees, and School System as whole will get ‘shares’. Goal: Someone carries it on.

 

**Roseto Effect (see below)

 

General-purpose technologies (GPTs) are technologies that can affect an entire economy (usually at a national or global level).[1][2][3] GPTs have the potential to drastically alter societies through their impact on pre-existing economic and social structures. The archetypal examples of GPTs are the steam engine, electricity, and information technology. Other examples include the railroad, interchangeable parts, electronics, material handling, mechanization, control theory (automation), the automobile, the computer, the Internet, medicine, and artificial intelligence, in particular generative pre-trained transformers.

 

In economics, it is theorized that initial adoption of a new GPT within an economy may, before improving productivity, actually decrease it,[4] due to: time required for development of new infrastructure; learning costs; and, obsolescence of old technologies and skills. This can lead to a "productivity J-curve" as unmeasured intangible assets are built up and then harvested. [5] Impending timeframe to utilize the latent benefits of the new technology is deemed a trade-off. Spin-out firms/inventors from organizations that had developed GPTs play an important role in developing applications for GPTs. However, it has been observed that the level of cumulative innovation in GPTs diminishes as more spin-outs into application development occur.[6]

 

Historical GPT according to Lipsey and Carlaw

Economists Richard Lipsey and Kenneth Carlaw suggest that there have only been 24 technologies in history that can be classified as true GPTs.[7] They define a transforming GPT according to the four criteria listed below:

 

is a single, recognisable generic technology

initially has much scope for improvement but comes to be widely used across the economy

has many different uses

creates many spillover effects

Since their book, more GPTs have been added for the 21st century.[by whom?]

 

A GPT can be a product, a process or an organisational system.

 

Foundational

The earliest technologies mentioned by Lipsey and Carlaw occur before the Neolithic period and have not been cast as GPTs, however, they are innovations that the other 24 rely upon.

31--GPT in military and defense-related procurement

In his book, Is War Necessary for Economic Growth?: Military Procurement and Technology Development, Vernon W. Ruttan, Regents Professor Emeritus in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota, examines the impact of military and defense-related procurement on U.S. technology development.[9] Ruttan identifies the development of six general-purpose technologies:

 

Interchangeable parts and mass production

Military and commercial aircraft

Nuclear energy

Computers and semi-conductors

The Internet

The space industries

Based on his reading of the histories of these technologies, Ruttan finds that military and defense-related procurement has been a major source of technology development. He believes that the current technological landscape would look very different in the absence of military and defense-related contributions to commercial technology development. However, from his research, Ruttan determines that commercial technology development would have occurred in the absence of military procurement but more slowly, e.g., the aircraft, computer, and Internet industries. He cites nuclear power as an example of a general-purpose technology that would not have developed in the absence of military and defense-related procurement.

Both of these groups advocate a return to the synthetic culture called "Western Civilization," an unholy (and unstable) mixture of Greco-Roman paganism and Biblical religion.
