~129–125 BC: John Hyrcanus I (Hasmonean high priest and king) conquers Idumea (Edom) and forcibly converts the entire population to Judaism. The Idumeans are allowed to stay in their land only if they accept circumcision and the full Jewish law (Josephus, Antiquities 13.257–258). This creates a large, resentful, semi-Jewish population in the south.

~110–100 BC: Antipater I (grandfather of Herod the Great), an Idumean noble from this forcibly converted population, rises to prominence under the later Hasmoneans.

67–63 BC: Civil war between the Hasmonean brothers Hyrcanus II and Aristobulus II. Antipater II (Herod’s father), now a leading Idumean figure, sides with the weaker brother Hyrcanus II and persuades the Nabatean king Aretas III to support him.

63 BC: Pompey conquers Jerusalem for Rome. Antipater II immediately switches to Pompey’s side, supplies his army, and convinces Hyrcanus II to surrender without a fight. In return Pompey confirms Hyrcanus II as high priest but strips him of the royal title and leaves Antipater as the real power behind the throne.

47 BC: Antipater helps Julius Caesar in Egypt. Caesar rewards him by making him procurator of all Judea and a Roman citizen. Antipater appoints his son Herod (then ~25 years old) governor of Galilee — the first time an Idumean descendant of the forced converts holds high office in Judea.

46–45 BC: Herod executes the bandit/revolutionary Hezekias without Hyrcanus II’s permission. When summoned to trial, the Roman governor Sextus Caesar threatens Hyrcanus until he acquits Herod and then promotes Herod to general of Coele-Syria.

43 BC: Antipater is poisoned. Herod instantly transfers loyalty to Cassius (Caesar’s assassin) and is promised the kingship of Judea after the Roman civil war.

42–41 BC: After Cassius is defeated, Herod bribes Mark Antony with huge sums. Antony appoints Herod and his brother Phasael tetrarchs of Judea, openly overriding Hyrcanus II and Jewish opposition.

40 BC: Parthians invade and install the last Hasmonean, Antigonus, as king. Herod escapes to Rome, reminds Antony of past bribes and services, and convinces Antony and Octavian that only he can be a reliable anti-Parthian strongman.
>>The Roman Senate (on Antony’s and Octavian’s motion) declares Herod “King of the Jews” — the first time Rome gives that title to a non-Hasmonean, and to a descendant of the forcibly converted Edomites.

39–37 BC: Herod returns with Roman legions. He pays every Roman commander (Ventidius, Silo, Sosius) massive bribes and bonuses from Jewish taxes and his own treasury.

37 BC (summer): Herod and Roman general Sosius capture Jerusalem after a five-month siege.
>>Antigonus (last Hasmonean king) is beheaded on Antony’s orders — the first time Rome ever beheads a client king.

37 BC (immediately after the fall of the city): Herod immediately executes 45 leading men of Antigonus’s party and confiscates their wealth to pay Antony and the Roman soldiers (Ant. 15.5–7).

37–36 BC – The Sanhedrin massacre
Herod slays almost the entire Sanhedrin that had existed under the Hasmoneans (Ant. 14.175; 15.1–6).
>>Only the Pharisees Pollio (Abtalion?) and Sameas (Shmaya?) are spared because they had once advised Jerusalem to surrender to Herod.
>>The old aristocratic judiciary is wiped out in a single purge; from this point the Sanhedrin (when allowed to meet) is packed with Herod’s own appointees or collaborators.
>>In the same period (36–30 BC) Herod also executes the aged Hyrcanus II (former high priest and ethnarch) on fabricated treason charges, eliminating the last adult male Hasmonean who could still rally opposition (Ant. 15.161–178).

2/4

Late 37 BC: Mark Antony formally confirms Herod as undisputed king of the Jews under Roman protection.

36 BC – Seizure of the High Priesthood
>>Herod appoints Ananelus, an obscure priest from Babylon, as High Priest (Antiquities 15.2.4; 15.3.1).
>>High Priesthood is given to a complete outsider with no connection to the old Jerusalem aristocratic priestly families — deliberately chosen because he has no power base and owes everything to Herod.

Between 35 BC and 4 BC (most scholars place it late in Herod’s reign)
>>Herod orders the public genealogical registers of the Israelite tribes burned

(Julius Africanus, Epistle to Aristides, §§ IV–V):
“Herod, knowing that the lineage of the Israelites contributed nothing to him, and goaded by the consciousness of his ignoble birth [i.e., that he was an Edomite], burned the registers of their families… thinking that he would appear to be of noble birth, if no one else could trace back his descent by the public register to the patriarchs or proselytes, and to that mixed race called georae.”

“Georae” (γῆ ὀράω / גֵּרִים) = resident aliens / proselytes / people of mixed blood who, under biblical law (Deut 23:7–8), could never enter the priesthood or hold high office over pure-blooded Israelites.

Only a few private copies survived among the Desposyni (relatives of Jesus) and other aristocratic families.
>>>This act permanently destroyed the official proof that the old Judahite aristocracy (and the Davidic and priestly lines) were pure Israelites — while leaving Herod’s own Idumean/proselyte origin unprovable and therefore “noble” by default.

6–4 BC – Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem
>>Herod the Great’s attempt to kill the infant “King of the Jews”
>>Magi arrive asking “Where is he that is born King of the Jews?” (Matt 2:2)
>>Herod orders the Massacre of the Innocents (all male children ≤2 years old in Bethlehem) – Matt 2:16–18
>>Angel warns Joseph; Holy Family flees to Egypt (Matt 2:13–15)

4 BC – Death of Herod the Great.
>>Kingdom divided among three sons (Archelaus, Antipas, Philip).

4 BC – 6 AD – Herod Archelaus rules Judea/Samaria; so brutal that Rome exiles him in 6 AD and turns Judea into a Roman province.

4 BC – 39 AD – Herod Antipas tetrarch of Galilee & Perea
Marries Herodias (his brother’s wife).

29–30 AD – Herod Antipas beheads John the Baptist (Mark 6:14–29; Matt 14:1–12; Luke 9:9) because John publicly condemned the marriage.

33 AD – Herod Antipas mocks Jesus at his trial, dresses him in a gorgeous robe, and sends him back to Pilate (Luke 23:6–12).

4 BC – 34 AD – Philip the Tetrarch rules the northern territories.

37–44 AD – Herod Agrippa I (grandson of Herod the Great & Mariamne I) made king of all Judea by Caligula and Claudius.

42–44 AD – Persecutes the Church
>>Has James the son of Zebedee (the first apostle martyred) beheaded with the sword (Acts 12:1–2).
>>Imprisons Peter intending to execute him after Passover; Peter miraculously escapes (Acts 12:3–19).
>>Shortly afterward Agrippa I is struck dead by God at Caesarea for accepting worship as a god (Acts 12:20–23).

41–54 AD – Herod Agrippa II (great-grandson of Herod the Great) rules northern territories.

59–60 AD – Paul’s imprisonment and trials
>>Paul appears before Agrippa II and Bernice in Caesarea (Acts 25:13–26:32).
>>Agrippa famously says: “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian” (Acts 26:28).
>>Paul appeals to Caesar and is sent to Rome.

3/4

Jesus speaks directly to the Pharisees (and scribes/Sadducees when present) and, in plain language, exposes exactly who they are — descendants of the Edomite converts, usurpers of Israel’s leadership, children of the serpent, not children of Abraham:

Matthew 3:7–10 / Luke 3:7–9
“You brood of vipers! … Do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.”
→ Jesus flatly denies that their bloodline is Abraham’s. He says it out loud: your genealogy means nothing.

Matthew 12:34 & 23:33
“You brood of vipers! … You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell (Gehenna)?”
→ Three times He calls them literal “offspring of serpents” — the seed of the serpent from Genesis 3:15, i.e., Edom/Canaan, not Israel.

Matthew 15:3–9 / Mark 7:6–13
“Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? … You have made void the word of God through your tradition … In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
→ Their “tradition of the elders” was the legal tool that let Edomite converts and their descendants hold priestly and ruling office in violation of Torah purity laws. Jesus calls it man-made rubbish.

Matthew 21:43 (after the parable of the wicked tenants)
“The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits.”
→ He announces on the spot that rule over Israel is being stripped from them and given to another nation — the true Israel.

Matthew 23:15
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.”
→ They aggressively proselytised powerful Idumeans (Herod’s family being the prime example). Jesus says the result is a convert twice as damned as they are.

Matthew 23:27–28
“You are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness.”
→ Outwardly they claim racial and priestly purity; inside they are spiritually (and racially) dead.

Matthew 23:29–36 / Luke 11:47–51
“You are the sons of those who murdered the prophets … that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah … Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.”
→ Jesus declares they are the direct heirs — spiritually and by blood — of every murderer from Cain/Edom onward.

John 8:33–47 (the clearest of all)
They: “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone.”
Jesus: “I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me … If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did … You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning … You are not of God.”
→ Jesus first acknowledges their claim to Abrahamic descent, then immediately rejects it and says their real father is the devil — the same being who fathered Cain, whose descendants became Edom.

John 10:26 (to the Jews/Pharisees in the Temple)
“You do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.”
Simple, brutal: you are not part of the true Israel (the sheepfold); you are outsiders.

Revelation 2:9:
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a sin-o-gog of S8n.

Jesus never spoke to them as legitimate priests or true sons of Israel.

Every single time He addressed them He called them:
>offspring of vipers/serpents
>children of the devil
>children of hell
>murderers from the beginning
>whitewashed tombs full of dead men’s bones
>people whose “tradition” nullified the Torah.

The Family Tree That Shook the World
Matthew 1:1–25
Every epic story needs an opening scroll, and Matthew hands us a genealogy that reads like a gritty drama trailer. This isn’t a sterile list of “begats.” It’s a highlight reel of God’s stubborn grace threading through broken people, foreign kings, and scandalous detours.

The chapter opens with a bold headline: “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” Two names, two covenants. Abraham: the promise of land and descendants. David: the promise of an eternal throne. Jesus is the bullseye where both arrows land.

The list itself is a masterclass in divine recycling.
Tamar (v. 3): disguised herself as a prostitute to secure justice from her father-in-law.
Rahab (v. 5): a Canaanite sex worker who hid Israelite spies and joined the covenant.
Ruth (v. 5): a Moabite widow who crossed borders for a new family.
Bathsheba (v. 6): “the wife of Uriah,” a reminder of David’s darkest hour—adultery and murder.

Four women, all outsiders or outcasts, woven into the bloodline of the Messiah. Matthew is shouting from page one: This King doesn’t need a spotless pedigree; He redeems the messy ones.

Then the bombshell in verses 18–25. Mary, a teenage fiancée, is pregnant—and Joseph knows the math doesn’t add up. In a culture where betrothal was legally binding, this is a death-sentence scandal. Joseph, described as a “just man,” plans a quiet divorce to spare her public shaming.

An angel crashes his sleep: “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” The child will be named Jesus—“Yahweh saves”—because He will rescue His people from the root problem: sin.

Joseph wakes up, cancels the divorce, and adopts the child as his legal son. In one decision, he secures Jesus’ claim to David’s throne and models obedience that costs everything. The chapter closes with the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (God with us). The eternal Word pitches His tent in a carpenter’s home.

The King Who Outran an Empire
Matthew 2:1–23
The birth announcement goes global, but not through a palace press release. Foreign stargazers—Magi from modern-day Iran or Iraq—follow a celestial GPS to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He who has been born king of the Jews?” Their arrival triggers a political earthquake.

Herod the Great, a paranoid tyrant with a palace full of yes-men, panics. He’s not even Jewish by birth; he’s a fake Jew Edomite and Roman puppet clinging to power. The priests quote Micah 5:2: Bethlehem, a tiny village six miles south, is the spot. Herod sends the Magi with a smile and a secret order: “Bring me the coordinates so I can ‘worship’ too.”

The star parks over a modest house. The Magi unload treasures—gold for a king, frankincense for a priest, myrrh for a burial. Gifts that whisper coronation, intercession, and death. They leave by a different route after a divine warning.
That night, an angel jolts Joseph awake again: “Take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt. Herod is about to search for the child to destroy him.” A midnight road trip—refugees crossing borders under cover of darkness. Herod, realizing he’s been outmaneuvered, orders the slaughter of every boy under two in Bethlehem. The cries fulfill Jeremiah 31:15: “Rachel weeping for her children.”
Years later, after Herod’s death, another dream: “Return.” Joseph settles in Nazareth, a nowhere town in Galilee. The child grows up labeled “the Nazarene,” fulfilling the prophetic sneer: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (see Judges 13:5 and Isaiah 11:1’s wordplay on “branch”).

From a carpenter’s shop in a backwater village, the King who outran an empire begins His quiet conquest of the world.

2)
The Voice in the Wilderness and the Heavens Torn Open

Matthew 3:1–17
Galilee’s dusty roads give way to the barren Judean wilderness, and suddenly a lone figure dominates the landscape. This is no polished preacher in temple robes; this is John the Baptist, raw, relentless, and unafraid.

The Herald Arrives (vv. 1–6)
“In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”

His wardrobe: camel-hair cloak, leather belt. His diet: locusts and wild honey. He looks like Elijah reincarnated (2 Kings 1:8), and that’s the point. Malachi 4:5 promised Elijah would return before the great day of the Lord. John is the signal flare.

Crowds stream out from Jerusalem, Judea, and the Jordan Valley. Something in his voice cuts through religious noise. They confess their sins and are baptized in the river—a radical act of public cleansing, preparing for the coming King.

The Warning Shot (vv. 7–10)
Pharisees and Sadducees—Israel’s spiritual elite—show up, likely for a photo-op. John unleashes: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
To understand the venom in John’s words, you have to know who these men really were.

By this time, the Pharisee movement had been hijacked. The original Pharisees arose centuries earlier as a lay group committed to Torah purity. But under Herod the Great—an Idumean (Edomite) king installed by Rome—the religious leadership was reshaped into a tool of control. Herod handpicked loyalists, many of them Edomites forcibly converted under the Hasmoneans (John Hyrcanus, 134–104 BC), and mixed them with compliant Israelites who were willing to trade conviction for influence.

These weren’t just hypocrites; they were political plants—a hybrid ruling class designed to keep Israel docile under Roman boots while maintaining the illusion of spiritual authority.

Their “holiness” was a performance, their traditions a leash. That’s why John doesn’t buy their pedigree: “Do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.”
No ancestry, no title, no temple badge saves you. “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” The axe is already swinging at the root. Dead religion—especially the state-sponsored kind—is about to be firewood.

The Greater One (vv. 11–12)
John clarifies his role: “I baptize with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”

His winnowing fork is ready—separating wheat from chaff. Judgment isn’t coming; the Judge is.

The Baptism of the King (vv. 13–17)
Jesus arrives from Galilee, unannounced, and steps into the muddy Jordan. John tries to block Him: “I need to be baptized by you!”

Jesus replies: “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”
He’s not confessing sin—He has none. He’s identifying with sinners, stepping into the line of the guilty to represent them. The Sinless One submits to a sinner’s baptism—right under the nose of a corrupt, Roman-backed religious system.
The moment He surfaces, heaven rips open. The Spirit descends like a dove, gentle yet powerful. A voice from heaven thunders: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Three realities collide:

The Trinity revealed—Father speaks, Son emerges, Spirit descends.

The King anointed—not with oil from a compromised priesthood, but with divine approval.

The mission launched—righteousness fulfilled, sin’s debt about to be carried.
From a wilderness rant to a riverbank coronation, Matthew 3 is the hinge between promise and fulfillment. The kingdom isn’t a distant hope; it’s standing waist-deep in the Jordan, ready to march toward a cross.

The voice still echoes: Repent. Prepare. Behold your King.

3)
Jesus’ Wilderness Victory and Galilee Takeover
Matthew 4:1–25 (NKJV)
The Jordan coronation still echoes (3:17), and the Spirit immediately drives Jesus into the wilderness. This is no retreat—it’s the opening battle of the kingdom war. The serpent’s seed strikes first; the seed of Eve still stands (Gen. 3:15). The kingdom isn’t coming through temple politics—it’s marching out of the desert.

The Temptation: Three Rounds, One Winner (vv. 1–11)
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.”
The Spirit drives Him in. No food, no backup—just raw dependence on the Father. The devil smells blood.

1. “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
Hunger’s the hook. Turn rocks into loaves—solve it your way.
Jesus swings Deuteronomy 8:3: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
Round 1: KO. No shortcuts.

2. “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down…”
Devil quotes Psalm 91:11–12—twists it into a dare. Force angels to catch You. Make it a spectacle.
Jesus counters Deuteronomy 6:16: “You shall not tempt the Lord your God.”
Round 2: KO. No manipulation.

3. “All these kingdoms I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
The big offer: global power, no cross. Same deal the Edomites took through Rome.
Jesus ends it Deuteronomy 6:13: “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.”
Round 3: TKO. Devil flees. Angels roll in with supplies.

Fulfillment: Jesus is the true Israel—40 days in the wilderness, quoting Torah, where Israel failed 40 years. The Last Adam (1 Cor. 15:45) passes the test.

The Light Hits Galilee (vv. 12–17)
“Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee… that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet…”
Herod locks up John. Jesus doesn’t hide. He plants His flag in Galilee of the Gentiles—Zebulun and Naphtali, the forgotten north.

His message? Same as John’s, but now the King speaks it:
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Fulfillment: Isaiah 9:1–2—“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” The northern tribes, crushed by Assyria, now get first dibs on the Messiah.

The First Recruits: Fishermen, Not Pharisees (vv. 18–22)
“And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew… ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ They immediately left their nets…”
No temple elites. No Herodian plants. Jesus calls four working-class Galileans:
•Peter and Andrew mid-cast.
•James and John mending nets with dad Zebedee.
One sentence. They drop everything—nets, boat, family. No negotiation.

Fulfillment: Jeremiah 16:16—“I will send for many fishermen… and they shall fish them.” The restoration of Israel starts with ordinary seed of Jacob, not the infiltrated elite.

The Ministry That Went Viral (vv. 23–25)
“Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching… preaching… healing all kinds of sickness… Then great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.”
Three-pronged attack:
1Teaching in synagogues—no oral law.
2Preaching the kingdom.
3Healing every disease—leprosy, paralysis, demons.
Crowds explode from Syria to beyond the Jordan. The light leaks into pagan zones.
Fulfillment: Isaiah 52:10 (“All the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God”) and Psalm 107:20 (“He sent His word and healed them”).

Why This Changes Everything
This isn’t a warm-up act. Jesus beats the devil at his own game, fulfills Israel’s wilderness failure, and launches the kingdom from the margins.

The war is on. The Light has landed. And the darkness? It’s already losing ground.

LISTEN, LINDA!!!!!!!
The Master Reset is
M I R A C U L O U S

Don’t Believe Me, Just Read!!!

A THREAD: Real testimonies and reviews out of the mouths of those who have had the Master Reset.
------------------------------------------------------
I had my first visit with Dr C. Since my cervical disc replacement almost 10yrs ago, my neck has felt weak and unstable almost like it was broken. It now feels stable and strong and decompressed, elongated. I also have been dealing with neuropathy in my foot for almost 20yrs due to severe crush injury. After my 1st adjustment, I felt increased tingling in the most damaged area, still feeling it off and on. I did feel like a truck ran over me for 3 days after my adjustment. Definitely had a strong reaction. This type of UC Chiro is very powerful. I have hope for healing for the first time in many years. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be pain free again.

I thank God for Dr. Craig.
Here's my story. Kind of long.
I've been wanting to see him for a couple of years now and finally, it was possible. Everything he said made sense and he filled in the blanks of some of the things I knew.
I have been feeling a heavy malaise and fatigue recently, sleeping 12 or more hours a day. I've been sick a lot, which is not normal, and under a huge amount of stress for years -- in survival mode. I didn't seem to digest anything well and frankly, I was glum.
After being adjusted, almost immediately the clouds of gloom lifted and I've been feeling happy again, laughing, sleeping well, morning grogginess is much improved, my body feels lighter, I'm not getting severe "food coma" anymore, meals are giving me energy and my supplements feel like they're working again! Life is improving and I'm making plans again and not getting constantly overwhelmed. I feel PRESENT again. And that's not all...
Let me tell you about my husband...
Steve has had Parkinson's for around 15 years and had to retire early last year because of it. Before we met, he worked at a dry cleaner, where he was soaked in solvent daily. He was diagnosed in his late 40's when he began shuffling. With supplementation, we were able to slow down the progression, but this year it's been getting much worse. He's been falling and even walking down the short hallway in our home was often a challenge. He fell again about a week ago.
His face had become relatively expressionless, speaking softly and sometimes not even talking or responding. Some responses could take up to 30 seconds. It's been devastating and lonely. He could barely nod.
Steve politely relented to being treated by Dr Craig (he's an engineer and not easily convinced). The doctor and his wife had to help him move from side to side in the table for the treatment. Afterwards, Steve had a head rush and waited. Dr C suggested trying to try standing up. Boom! He popped up!!! Dr C and I were gobsmacked! Steve didn't even realize he had done that and he didn't even struggle to get up. He could now even nod a bit, when he could barely make his head move minutes before and he was able to walk up and down the hall, without shuffling! He was lifting his feet!!
That evening, we went to dinner and afterwards he wanted to shop, wandering off, lol. Then we had to stop for gas and he wandered off again, and caught him buying a second dinner. His appetite was back. What a change!
It's been a few days now and he's doing things around the house. He's steadier on his feet, laughing, telling jokes, smiling, talking to me about all sorts of things, able to nod his head more, his voice is stronger, he's sleeping less during the day and just simply more alive. Today he says he can move better.
DAY 4: Steve forgot to take his meds all day after his first dose. Oops. Admitted he could move better.
DAY 5: Sleeping longer and deeper. More steady at church. Didn't need to catch himself (grabbing walls or doorframes) or require "spotting" to and from the parking lot. He added an hour between doses of medicine without issue.
DAY 6: Rest day. Hip ached again, but is fine now.
DAY 7: Worked on things and took the computer to the shop. Carried it to the car and to the shop. Improved balance. Doesn't need a cane.
DAY 8: Sleep day. Previously, he was only sleeping around 5 hours per night. He's sleeping way better. Tonight he's walking even better. No longer going 10 feet then falling into a chair. He sits more normally and gets up much easier. And tonight I watched him do a quick turn! To top it off, when I pointed it out, he did a little dance with a couple of jumps. NO FLIPPING WAY!!! He couldn't jump before. He said that was his limit, that his legs felt weak, which I would expect after so many years. Also, he can nod his head a lot more! Yayyyyyy!
Things are looking great!.
Pretty awesome for a week and a day.
Thank you, Jesus 🙏
Thank you, Dr C

I made the drive back to New Mexico after seeing Dr C. in Boulder Saturday morning. Usually I cannot drive long without getting out to walk due to SI joint and Sciatic nerve pain. I made it home pain free. This is a big deal for me. I can only ride in our old 90's Jeep grand cherokee.
All our other vehicles' seats and ride quality cause me pain.
Thank you Dr C. For unlocking my body. So grateful.
Thank you God.
I also slept until 6 this morning! I feel great today!

Until the Federal Reserve is ended, and the IRS removed (because all this taxation is freaking theft), I am going to publish the secrets and the loopholes of the tax code that the elite like Trump know, and take advantage of, to pay very little taxes.

This starts off with the basics for understanding but gets into the ALL the golden nugget hidden secrets shortly after!!!!!

Disclaimer: This is not tax advice, and you should contact your CPA to confirm, and/or research these 100% LEGAL ABSOLUTE BANGER strategies to confirm their authenticity.

RT this and share everywhere!

A Thread:

2/
In order to understand how to take advantage of the tax code, you need to know that in order to do so , you can NOT get full advantage as a "citizen" and you must establish yourself a legal and taxable "entity"- a "corporation" which can operate within its own set of rules and be VERY BENEFICIAL to your pocketbook.

Key Differences Between a Corporation and a Person
Legal Identity:
>A corporation or LLC is a separate legal entity from its owners. It can own property, enter contracts, sue, and be sued independently.
>An individual conducting business as themselves (a sole proprietor) is personally identified with the business.

Liability:
>A corporation or LLC limits the owner's personal liability. If the business incurs debts or faces lawsuits, the owner's personal assets are typically protected.
>An individual operating as a sole proprietor is personally liable for all business debts and legal claims. Creditors can pursue personal assets like homes, savings, and cars.

Taxation:
>Corporations can be taxed at the corporate level (C-corporations) or allow profits and losses to "pass through" to the owner's personal tax return (S-corporations and LLCs).
>Sole proprietors report business income directly on their personal tax returns, which may result in higher self-employment taxes compared to certain corporate structures.

Continuity:
>Corporations and LLCs can continue to exist independently of the owner's involvement or life. >Ownership can be transferred through shares or membership interests.
>A sole proprietorship ceases to exist when the owner decides to stop operating or passes away.

Credibility and Perception:
>Operating as a corporation or LLC often lends more credibility and professionalism to a business, which may attract investors, clients, and partners.
>Operating as an individual can sometimes appear less formal and limit opportunities for growth.

3/
Why Represent Yourself as an LLC or Corporation?

Personal Asset Protection:
Forming an LLC or corporation creates a legal barrier between personal and business liabilities. If the business is sued or defaults on a loan, your personal assets are typically shielded.

Tax Benefits:
Certain business structures allow for strategic tax planning. For example, an LLC can elect to be taxed as an S-corporation to reduce self-employment taxes.

Professionalism:
An LLC or corporation is often seen as more credible by banks, vendors, and clients. This can lead to easier access to loans and business partnerships.

Flexibility in Ownership and Management:
A corporation can issue stock, and an LLC allows for flexible ownership arrangements, which can be important if you plan to bring in investors or partners.

Ease of Transferability:
A corporation’s shares or an LLC’s membership interests can be transferred to others, making it easier to sell or pass on the business.

Scalability:
As businesses grow, they often benefit from the legal and structural advantages of a formal entity. A corporation or LLC is better suited to managing complexity and expansion than an individual.

When Might You Stick to Being a Sole Proprietor?
Simple, Low-Risk Operations:If your business has minimal liabilities or risks, the cost and effort of forming an LLC or corporation might not be worth it.

Ease of Administration:
Sole proprietorships are simpler and cheaper to set up and maintain, with no separate tax filings or state compliance requirements.

Cost Considerations:
Creating and maintaining an LLC or corporation involves filing fees, potential annual taxes, and compliance costs, which might not be justified for a very small business.

How Business Entities Provide Access to "Loopholes"
Separation of Personal and Business Finances:

By creating an LLC or corporation, individuals separate their personal finances from their business finances. This opens the door to deductions and credits that aren't available to regular wage earners.

For example, business expenses like travel, meals, office supplies, and even home office costs can often be deducted.

Access to Tax-Advantaged Strategies:

Certain tax-saving strategies are exclusive to businesses:

>Depreciation:
Business owners can deduct the cost of assets over time, reducing taxable income.

>Pass-Through Taxation:
LLCs and S-corporations allow profits to pass directly to the owner, potentially avoiding double taxation.

>Carried Interest:
This loophole allows wealthy investors to pay lower capital gains taxes on what is essentially compensation income.

>Lower Tax Rates:
Businesses, especially corporations, often pay lower effective tax rates than individuals. For example, the corporate tax rate in the U.S. is generally 21%, while individual rates can go as high as 37%.
>Wealthy individuals sometimes structure income as business earnings to take advantage of these lower rates.

>Deferring Income:
Businesses can defer taxes on income by reinvesting profits, holding earnings in accounts, or using depreciation strategies. This deferral is often unavailable to regular wage earners.

>Utilizing Offshore Strategies:
Corporations can shift profits to offshore entities in low-tax jurisdictions, reducing their overall tax burden. Wealthy individuals may also use these strategies via LLCs or holding companies.

Who are the Edomites?

A factual and historically accurate cited thread 👀

1/
Why does God say: For Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. Romans 9:13 Malachi 1:2-3

After losing his birthright to Jacob (Israel), why did Esau marry Canaanite women? Why did his parents strictly forbid NOT to marry Canaanite women? Who are the Canaanites, and why would descendants of Abraham not want anything to do with Canaanites?

2/
Background: Genesis 3:15- And I will put enmity Between you (the serpent Satan) and the woman (Eve), And between your seed and her Seed. (War between the descendants

Descendant(s) of Eve vs descendants of the Serpent
Humans vs Fallen Angel(s)/Nephilim
Fallen Angels breeding to humans creates Nephilim (mixed DNA)

Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim on the earth in those days, and also afterward... (After what? The Flood.)

The Nephilim were in the Land of Canaan that God promised to the Israelites. This is where you get Goliath, Sihon, King Og, found within the tribes of the Anakim, the Rephaim, the Zamzummim, the Amalekites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Canaanites, and the Philistines--all within the land of Canaan and all blood related to one another.

The Bible doesn't just come out and say it directly -- it uses the proper names of people and land, but it is directly within the details: the descendants of Canaan lived in the Land of Canaan, bred with, worshipped, followed, were all things sinful with, and sacrificed children to the fallen angel pagan gods and Nephilim>>>and It was THESE people that God told the Israelites to kill all of them. A lot of the Old Testament is describing the battles/wars between the Israelites and these folks.

So Esau loses his birthright to lead the blessed (chosen) lineage (to the Messiah) to Jacob (Israel) and in return then leaves and marries/breeds into the Canaanite bloodlines.

"For God loved Jacob, but Esau He hated."
Seed of Eve vs Seed of the Serpent (continues)

3/
So Esau breeding with Canaanites , their descendants would be called Edomites.

Edom = red, and Esau was red headed.

Gen 25:25 - And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

In Greek, the word for the Edomites is "Idumeans".

It's important to remember these words and who are in this bloodline as it plays out in Seed of Eve vs Seed of the Serpent.

Let’s learn some things today that the healthcare system doesn’t tell you and doesn’t want you to know: (thread)

Cholesterol→ produced in the liver from “acetyl CoA”, a derivative and intermediary from fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and is the precursor of many other steroid hormones, such as:
1. estrogen
2. testosterone
3. pregnenolone
4. DHEA
5. progesterone
6. vitamin D
7. cortisol.

It is plays a vital role in the structure and function of the cellular membrane (protection), and is also an antioxidant, particularly to lipid-soluble free radicals, toxins, and other oxidative compounds.

2/
Made from cholesterol:
▪Aldosterone is made from cholesterol, acts on the kidneys to help balance electrolytes and water to regulate blood volume and blood pressure.

3/ ◦Glucocorticoids→made from cholesterol, it’s produced in the adrenal glands and helps turn off inflammation, turn on anti-inflammation, development and homeostasis of T cells (immune cells), transport proteins not in the liver, stimulates fat metabolism, and preserves glucose uptake (fasting/high cortisol).
