VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA'S WILD IRISES IN THE TOWN OF RAMAPO, NEW YORK
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).
פִסְחֵנוּ הַנִּזְבָּח
"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (New International Version, Revelation 21:22 Multilingual).
ANNA BLAEDEL: Long before I had any sense of the language of Queerness or even any kind of introduction to Queer Theory, I encountered within Scriptures a God Who was always becoming and coming to Humans in Queer ways: in ways that were strange and unpredictable, ways that defied expectations, ways that broke the rules, so how could God not be Queer and why would we want to be in relationship with a God Who wasn't Queer?
YY JACOBSON: “What is the name of Moshiach? The leper!” Why would the Moshiach be given this title?
Because that which shames you most may hold the key to your redemption, if you will only muster the courage to embrace it and see it in its most pristine and pure state. What you have been running away from most, what you have tried to quarantine, what you are so deeply ashamed of, carries your deepest light. You need only trace it back to its authentic nature and origin, and then you will discover how this very “leper” is your Moshiach, your prophet and messenger of psychological and spiritual emancipation.
محمدجواد ظریف خونساری: Reminder: International relations is not a beauty pageant, with tired clichés about a desire for WORLD PEACE. And it is not the first time that a warmonger claims he is waging war for "world peace".
CGTN: Asian values should be used in the international politics to deal with disputes and push forward the peace, stability and prosperity not only in the Asian region, but also on the global stage.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"The Terror you inspire and the Pride of your Heart has deceived you, O Dwellers in the Clefts of the Rock, who Occupy the Heights of the Hill, who says in his Heart, 'Who will bring me down to Earth?' Though you may rise High like the Eagle and though you set your Nest among the Stars, from there I will bring you down, declares YHVH" (Obadiah 1:3-4 Multilingual, Jeremiah 49:16 Multilingual).
Translation: "The United States of America which is called, according to The Spirit, 'In the Name of Sedom and Egypt,' where also their Lord was crucified" (Apocalypse 11:8 Multilingual).
Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
