Out of all the various creatures that dwell on the planet it is our ability to ponder these and similar questions which make you and I so unique. No other creature on earth (dogs, cats, etc) can ponder these things in the way in which you and I are able to do.
What gives us these abilities to do so above all other earthly creatures is the mind that our divine creator placed in up. No one wants you to seriously ponder this journey that you are on more than your creator does. It has been his will from the day that you were born, that you get to a point where you really wanted to grasp what your life is really all about. God is not intimidated by enquiring minds which ask, who am I? what is my origin? What is my purpose? What’s beyond this life?
In fact, you were designed in such a way as to meditate, and reflect, about life. Your creator has given you the ability to both comprehend yourselves and Him. By divine design your creator designed your minds in such a way, that if you seriously and honestly think, certain questions will come to mind. Your creator then placed the answers to these perplexing questions, in his instruction manual for the thinking man, The Bible.

Many today find the suggestion that their minds have been blinded by Satan comical to say the least. The concept that many have of Satan is one where he is nothing more than a mischievous and harmless cartoon character.
Satan is often depicted as a Halloween character in a red costume with pointed ears, horns, a tail, and a pitchfork. Satan no doubt is delighted with this depiction because this is exactly what the great deceiver and master mind manipulator wants us to think. In these so called “modern and sophisticated times”, many skeptics today scoff at the notion that they are under the influences of Satan and the powers of darkness. In their mindset, there is no such thing as satanic powers, and even if there were, it’s just harmless Halloween lure.
The scriptures give us a profile of Satan that is just the opposite of the cartoonish character many envision. According to the scriptures, there is no other being who is a greater threat to both our faith and very survival than Satan himself. This is due in a great part to how he stealthily attacks us on every side, while deceiving us into believing that our eternal survival is not at risk at all. Rather than disbelieving God and viewing Satan as some harmless cartoon character, the scriptures tells us in these end times that we should guard our thoughts and condition them to trust and obey God.
It is in the midst of all of this that God tells us that we as believers are not to allow our mind to manipulated (by a person, a system, or the powers of darkness) in a way as to cause us to disobey Him. “2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that In spite of all the advancement in technology, and science, most people are blind to the signs of the times, and their true condition, (spiritually).
This is due to the fact that Satan the great mind manipulator has blinded the minds of the mass of society. According to the Bible Satan’s greatest, means by which he exerts control over our society is by way of blinding the minds of men to the truth. Consider these words of Paul, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2nd Cor 4:3-4.
No journey to self-understanding will ever be complete, without the use of God’s manual for the mind, the Bible. It is in the Bible that God explains us and the innerworkings of our mind to us. According to the Bible the journey to self-understanding, must be based on a foundational desire to know the truth. Even though there are many things in life which affects the way we think, if we ponder life, with a sincere desire to know the truth, God has a way to cut through the clutter of the many voices in our head, and reveal His truths to us.
When it comes to the origin, purpose, and destiny of man, no one better explains these items to the minds of men, than the creator of the mind. Reaching the place of true self understanding, (our origin, purpose, and eternal destiny) is not difficult. As incredible as this may sound you actually have a inner sense and awareness of your divine creator, which was placed there by Him.
As Paul explains “26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him, reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’’ Acts 17:26-28 NIV.
Amazinglyby divine design our creator has designed us in such a way as to enable us to hear His voice if we sincerely desire to know Him. We are encouraged to not miss this opportunity to communicatively interact and respond when this process begins to take place in our lives. “15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts (mind).” Heb 3.God deeply loves us all and He has promised us that if we seek Him with a sincere to truly know Him, He will be found of us. “11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart (MIND).14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jer 29
In times past, much of what the Bible said in regards to futuristic end-time events were hard to grasp due to the fact that there was nothing in place which was comprehensible as to how these things could be done. As noted, the book of Daniel tells us that the end-times will be a time when there will be a phenomenal increase in knowledge. “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased,” Dan. 12:-4.
It is this dramatic increase in knowledge that we are now witnessing, which is now having a very strong impact of every aspect of human existence. Two thousand years ago God inspired John to write down a prophecy which up until recently made no sense to the generations that followed.
John stated that a system would be in place which functioned by numbers and these numbers would actually control the flow and rhythm of finances. “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev. 13:16-17 .
This passage describes a scenario where everything is dependent on numbers. Thanks to the dramatic increase in knowledge, we noy have such a system in place and it operates on a sequence of numbers. Only an all-knowing God could so accurately tell us these things thousands of years in advance.
We also now have machines and technological systems in place that tell us how we should think. It is this dramatic increase in knowledge that gives Satan and the powers of darkness the ability to command and control on a worldwide level. We now have systems in place that monitor, track, and profiles us. Much of what once called for human reasoning and deduction is now being done for us by way of these advanced systems, and it seems that these systems are demanding that we comply to their computation as opposed to our own thought processe

THE AGE OF AI—We have now fully arrived at the age of AI. The idea of artificial, synthetic consciousness that could resemble a human-like intelligence raises mind-boggling ethical, moral and even spiritual questions.
Experts in the field tell us that artificial intelligence is one of the leading development trends in tech research today, to the extent that it infiltrates almost all other technologies and every aspect of our day to day lives.
AI is continually redefining how businesses operate as advanced analytics and automation become more efficient and reliable, meaning that companies that fail to adapt will risk getting left behind. AI is playing a significant role in various aspects of our lives, including driving our cars, making appointments, and answering our questions, often through virtual assistants like Alexa. This technology is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily routines, offering convenience, advice and efficiency.
AI is actually able to explain itself by way of how it functions; consider. “in a sense AI functions independently once it is programed with the proper data, AI models are trained and deployed; to generate responses autonomously without direct human intervention for each individual query. Google's AI-powered answers are generated by AI models, not people. but humans play a vital role in the development, training, and continuous improvement of these models.” AI even sounds a warning about itself. Even with AI assistance, it's crucial to maintain critical thinking skills. Users should evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, bias, and relevance, and not rely on it blindly.”
And if this is not enough, we have developed systems that servile what and how we are thinking. We are also told that there is coming a time and now perhaps now is when we will be penalized by this system if we refuse to go along with the status quo mindset, (carnally speaking). Within the last few years this prophecy has become a reality. Knowledge has dramatically increased.
All one has to do today is look at the modern-day advancements of mankind whereupon it becomes obvious. For those who study the scriptures, we were told thousands of years in advance that due to a phenomenal increase in knowledge, that the age of “Big Brother” would become a reality. According to the scriptures, this would be a time when Satan will seek to utilize the advancements in technology to surveil, command and control. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev. 13.
These developments mirror the global monitoring structure described by biblical prophecy. The world system that will rise in the end times requires comprehensive identification and the ability to track every person within its reach.
Digital identity, biometric enforcement and centralized databases create the framework for a society where participation can be managed from a single point of authority. The model outlined for this future global order is the Beast System, and the technologies emerging today align with that design.
The scope of what is now transpiring is unprecedented in human history: Which can only be rightly comprehended in the light of biblical prophecy. As we have said the prophecies concerning the age of AI is not a stand-alone event, but is closely connected to certain other end-time prophecies. We will examine the connection between these various end-time prophecies.
God knows everything, He knew how Satan would misuse AI, therefore God in His wisdom purposely slowed down the progression of knowledge at the Tower of Babel by creating a language barrier Gen 11. We are prophetically told that in the last days knowledge would increase dramatically.
We are also told, “22 And except those days should be shortened, no flesh would survive” Matt 24. Many today have concerns about the rise of AI. Such as job security, surveillance issues and even the termination of humanity. Long before this God had a concern about how the powers of darkness would misuse knowledge/AI.
You can click on the book cover to see the actual sample pages as outlined in this book. Hostile territory—Liberty and justice for all? As we have said, the Founding Fathers greatly valued the standards set forth in the Bible, so much so that they utilized its guidelines as a foundation on which to establish the laws and principles which we see reflected in many of our most precious and revered legal document.
1. They openly acknowledged God as the creator of all of humanity, 2. They defended the rights of the people to have the religious freedom to pursue a right relationship with God, without governmental interference. They also acknowledged the fact that people should have the right to choose whether or not they wanted to acknowledge God.
3. They also utilized the moral guidelines as outlined in the scriptures as a template when framing the basic guidelines for the maintenance of an orderly society.
It is these same three key biblical truths that are more and more being outlawed. Much of this is being done under color of effort to provide liberty and justice for all.
There are many today who now view God and His guidelines as being a hindrance to liberty and justice for all, so much so that there are laws and ordinances being enacted that some say are intended to correct what they perceive to be past injustices which were to a great degree propagated by the Bible.
Others say that the Bible should be outlawed or severely restricted in how it’s presented because some of what it says about the conduct, character and state of being of men has caused certain segments of our society to suffer from emotional harm.
Some argue that the Bible reflects the standards and principles of bygone cultures, and as a result are not relevant to our modern-day culture. Thus, there is a demand that the courts of the land, pass and enforce laws that are more reflective of the culture we now live in.
Of all the various items now contributing to the end-time rising of the Beast, there is perhaps no greater contributor than the resurgence of the religion of Humanism. Many today say they are too intelligent and educated to believe in any type of supreme being (other than themselves).
A naton on the brink. The Bible tells us that as this world comes to a close, men will become progressively worse and worse. By all indications, this is the direction that we as a society is now heading. Paul tells us that as this age comes to a close humanity will face the most perilous of times. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;" 2nd Tim. 3:1-5,13.
The Bible tells us that this end-time generation will more and more direct their worship toward self; which in turn, translates into the worship of Satan. And all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And (with the exception of the believers), all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, (Rev. 13:3-8).
The reemerging religion of Humanism redirects our attention away from God (7) and toward man (6) as being the solution. This is purposely done in spite of the fact that the Bible warns us that human strength and resources are limited and unreliable, unlike God's eternal power and grace. The verse from Jeremiah 17:5 condemns those who place their trust in human beings and rely on physical intellect, and strength, rather than on God.
Yet this is exactly what the beastly systems via the religion of Humanism seeks to entice us to do. It seeks to get us to rely on humanistic solutions at the exclusion of God, which is what many are doing today. “They changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen,” Rom. 1:25.
HUMANISM? –The Happy Human is an icon and the official symbol of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), a world body of Humanist organizations, and has been adopted by many Humanist organizations and individuals worldwide. The religion of Humanism makes Man the measure of all things, and puts him on the throne in the place of God.
The Humanistic concept: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, minus God. A well-known Humanist organization, the American Humanist Association, said just that, “Our definition. Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.”
“The mission of the American Humanist Association is to advance humanism, an ethical and life-affirming philosophy free of belief in any gods and other supernatural forces. Advocating for equality for nontheists and a society guided by reason, empathy, and our growing knowledge of the world, the AHA promotes a worldview that encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good.
The AHA strives to bring about a progressive society, where being good-without a god, is an accepted way to live life. We accomplish this through our defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by our outreach to the growing number of people, without religious belief or preference, and through a continued refinement and advancement, of the humanist worldview. The primary issues include; Secular Government, Scientific Integrity, Human Rights for All, Promoting Peace, Reproductive Freedom, Women’s Rights, LGBTQ Rights, and Civil Rights in America.”
With much legal pressure being exerted upon the courts of the land by organizations such as the ACLU the definition of what constitutes male and female and a valid marriage has gone through a major metamorphosis. According to God’s guidelines marriage is a divine institution established exclusively between one man and one woman. From this perspective, modern redefinitions—such as changing gender roles, secularization, or altering traditional family structures—are a radical departure from God’s established norms.

Some say when a nation begins to change its moral and sexual standards and sanctions unbridled sexual promiscuousness, this normally is an indication of the impending doom of that nation. Others disagree. They say the winds of change which are now reshaping our societal and sexual landscape are a positive welcomed breeze.
Today with the blurring of the line between male and female many questions have arisen. The issue of female verses male in sports, who should use which restroom, even the question of what is a woman is up for debate. Some women say that all that they fought for is now in jeopardy. From the courthouse to the church house the debate rages.
There is a continuing debate among many within the various churches as well the public at large, when it comes to the matter a person’s civil rights versus what should be deemed to be unacceptable moral wrongs. Some believers say that when it comes to certain issues such as human sexuality, marriage, and family, that we as believers must respect the laws of the land even if we disagree with these laws.
Other believers who say that the holy laws of God supersede the laws of man, and that we must not compromise God’s moral guidelines to suit the carnal dictates of men. They quote the words of Peter, “29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5.
There are some believers who disagree with this assessment; they say that we as believers have no right to expect God’s biblical guidelines to be reflected, much less imposed on others, or be a part of the fabric of the laws of the land.
Those who disagree with this assessment say that what many celebrate as being a modern, sophisticated society's mindset of all-inclusiveness is a tragic sign that our nation has reached a level of moral deterioration, to a degree of which there is no return.
In seeking to come to grips with just exactly where we are at morally, as a society some say that we have lost our moral compass. Others argue that rather than losing our moral compass, we have purposely thrown it away.
In these most perilous of times, we as believers are under tremendous pressure to compromise and conform to the idealism of this world, which includes being pressured to simply shut up and go along with whatever is most politically correct. The question each of us as believers must come to terms with is whether or not we will stand for God or bow to this world’s system - even in the face of harsh criticism.
This nation was founded under the banner of “one nation under God”, but are we now going through a transformation and becoming one nation without God? When we leave morality out of the equation and rely on our perception of what should be deemed to be right and wrong, we then open the door for civil rights taking precedent over any real sense of a fixed moral standard.

The debate over certain lifestyle choices (sexually speaking) being acted out with blessings and protection of the courts of the land is now being debated and is indeed a hot button issue. The issue of moral wrongs versus a civil right involves a deep divide between personal religious or ethical beliefs and public legal protections.
Opponents view this conduct as a violation of traditional or religious morality while advocates and legal systems frame equal treatment as a fundamental civil right protecting individuals from discrimination.
The Moral Viewpoint---Religious Texts: Many traditional faiths and denominations interpret scriptures (such as passages in Leviticus or the Pauline epistles) as defining certain sexual lifestyles and acts as contrary to divine law.
Natural Law: Some moral frameworks argue that human sexuality has an inherent, procreative design, viewing non-procreative relationships as unaligned with God’s natural design and order.
Cultural Tradition: Moral opposition often emphasizes preserving traditional definitions of family, marriage, and gender roles.
The Civil Rights Viewpoint--Equal Protection: Advocates argue that governance in a pluralistic society must ensure equal treatment under the law, shielding individuals from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodation.
Legal Precedents: Courts in various jurisdictions have ruled that personal morality alone does not justify denying legal rights, pointing to milestones like the decriminalization of private consensual conduct (Lawrence v. Texas) and the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Individual Liberty: This perspective separates personal or religious ethics from state-enforced civic rules, emphasizing personal autonomy and freedom from government intrusion.

If we were to ask the younger those of this generation who invented sex and bestowed it upon mankind, most would have trouble associating sex with a holy God. The truth of the matter is that sex was not created by the devil, Playboy, Hollywood, HBO, or any one of the many internet porn sites. Sex, along with human sexuality, was created by the holy God of heaven where purity reigns.
Some within the church are bashful about the fact that God designed sex to be very pleasurable. When God designed man with his sexual ability, God had more in mind than just the reproduction of the human race. By design, it was God’s intent that sex be the source of immense pleasure within the marital bonds. The apostle Paul describes God as being, “the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” 1st Tim 6:17.
Unfortunately, for today's generation the sexual imagery which is being presented today, for the most part, presents a very shallow and one-sided concept of us as human beings. Thus, the way TV and the internet portrays our sexual interactions with others is out of balance in regards to who we really are.
According to Bill Tillman. “Sexuality is a major part of life, and one of the major shapers of each of our personalities.” But the component which comprises our sexuality is but one of the components which defines who we are as individual human beings.
The chaotic world of online dating. Online dating has become an unprecedented phenomenon.
But more than this being a form of dating as we have known it in times past, this is more of in the realm of a sex/hookup culture.
People used to meet their partners through proximity, through family and friends, but now Internet meeting is surpassing every other form. It’s changing so much about the way we act both romantically and sexually,” As soon as people could go online, they were using it as a way to find partners to date and have sex with. In the 90s it was Craigslist and AOL chat rooms, then Match.com and Kiss.com. But the lengthy, heartfelt e-mails exchanged by the main characters in You’ve Got Mail (1998) seem positively Victorian in comparison to the messages sent on the average dating app today.’
IS IT LOVE OR LUST---Many are Confused??? In today's fast pace world of online dating and casual hook-ups, there seems to be littl space to consider this issue. Often both young men and women are in a sense totally confused, in regards to the feelings they have for the person they are contemplating entering into a relationship with. It's critical that the matte of love verse lust be taken in consideration. Lust tends to think of self and self-gratification. What can I take, what can I get out of the deal, etc. Love tends to think, how can I make this mutually beneficial for both of us. I want to be happy, and fulfilled, but I also want my mate to have the same.
Love and lust can be easily confused, and is often the case, when accessing one’s feelings in regards to relationships. Though these two feelings may seem identical and inseparable, they are not the same. They are both intense.
They are both incredibly powerful, and they both have a strong pull on us. But lust will only last so long. And love? If it is the right person, it grows even stronger with the passage of time. Lust is an intense attraction, an intense and overriding sense of passion. It’s about the chemistry and the sexual desire. It’s not about what’s underneath the surface, (the real person).
Lust is simply a desire to be touched by someone, and or to touch someone. It’s a desire to hold or to be held by someone, to be erotically swept away by another human being. It isn’t something that lasts. It’s just a temporary feeling, like having a crush when you’re in your teens. But, it’s really hard to fight. It’s hard to take a step back from it, because it’s just that powerful.

Long before the horrors and sheer brutality of Hitler’s final solution was implemented Christ foretold that there would be a Holocaust. While on earth Christ foretold that the Jews would be cast out of their land and scattered among the nations and after much death pain and suffering, they would once again return to the promised land. “24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Lk 21.
Just as it was foretold the Jews have returned in-mass to the land of promise and Israel is once again a nation. What most people don’t realize is that the powers of darkness have not given up on fully implementing the final solution. We now see the growing tension in the middle east, the rise of antisemitism worldwide and the increasing anti God mentality. The stage is now set for the final great battle which will culminate in the day of accountability and judgement.
Since the restoration of Israel as a nation the final countdown has gained momentum at an ever-accelerated pace. According to the prophecies several key events now looms over all of humanity, 1. The final solution being fully unleashed, 2. The great gathering of the nations for Armageddon, and 3. The great day of accountability and Judgement Day.
According to the scriptures it is only as we follow the plight of Israel down through human history that we get the clearest indication of where we are on God’s prophetical timeclock. As God explains, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people [Israel] and upon thy holy city [Jerusalem]. To finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness. And to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy”. Dan 9:24.
There has been an ongoing effort to eradicate the Jews off the face of the earth for thousands of years and this has been done down through the ages without the perpetrators clearly knowing why.
From the very first attempt to destroy the Jews on the part of Pharaoh by killing all the male, Hebrew babies—to Herod’s order to kill all male babies under two years old 2,000 years ago, to the tragic events surrounding the Holocaust, this has been an ongoing effort.
The totality of Satan's final solution revealed. In His divinely inspired word, God pulls back the curtain and gives us a behind the scenes look and explanation in regards to what is really taking place. Sadly, many of today’s younger generation have little if any interest in the revelation knowledge that God so freely makes available to all who sincerely desire to know the truth. With the unleashing of the end-time beastly system, believers here and abroad have entered into very hostile territory.
The end-time resurrection and rise of the fourth and most fearsome beast represents Satan’s final all out effort to steal and destroy. Both Daniel and John tell us that this fourth beast will manifest itself in ways that is far different than all its predecessors. We are now seeing this unleashing and all out attack, with Israel, the believers, and the Bible itself directly in the crosshairs.
Consider the outline of Satan’s agenda as revealed in Revelation 12.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child (Jesus). 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (The believers) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 12. And (Satan) shall go out to deceive the nations, to gather them together (The united nations) to battle: 9 And they compassed the beloved city (Jerusalem) Rev 20.
This final onslaught occurs during the time when there has been a great spiritual falling away, a dramatic increase in knowledge, (the rise of AI),coupled with a return to the mindset and actions that were prevalent during the days of Noah and Lot. Here is the breakdown of the targets and methods according to the text:
The Initial Target: Israel ("The Woman")---In Revelation 12, the "woman clothed with the sun" represents the nation of Israel. The Attack: After being cast out of heaven, Satan persecutes the woman who brought forth the male child (Jesus).The Goal: To exterminate the Jewish people thereby undermining God and His word.
The Method: Prophesied to be a time of unparalleled antisemitism, with Satan directing a "flood" of antisemitism and persecution .
The Target: Believers ("The Rest of Her Seed") Enraged by his failure to destroy Israel, Satan shifts his attack to the "remnant of her seed". The Targets: Identified as those who "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ". This includes both Jewish believers and Gentile believers.
The Methods: War: Physical persecution and martyrdom. Deception: Spewing "water" (symbolizing lies, false teaching, and slander) from his mouth to sweep them away. False Accusation: Acting as the "accuser of the brethren" to induce guilt and fear. Using misinformation to slander the believers. Consider Satan’s goal.
1. To initiate disrespect and disbelief toward God on the highest level,
2. To undermine and do away with the word of God, and the standards it sets forth.
3. To systematically attack and wear down the believers.
4. To completely wipe the nation of Israel off the face of the earth, total annihilation
