I made an ad for GPT Image 2.5, full prompt below. It's yours now. Put your own character in @[image1], your own poster in @[image2], change the city, change what she turns into. Quote this with your version, I want to see what you all make of it. Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield AI 🧩. Seedance 2.5 Prompt: [GLOBAL] 30-second commercial. Photoreal live-action cinema texture, digital cinema camera, 35mm and 24mm lenses, shallow depth of field, real overcast rain-light, low-contrast cool grade, light film grain. 16:9. The spine of the film is one continuous over-the-shoulder tracking shot; all transitions are hidden inside motion blur and the crystallization effect. [CHARACTER ANCHOR] @[image1] = the protagonist, a Japanese woman in her early twenties with a Tokyo street-fashion look: bleached pale-blonde wolf-cut shag with dark roots and a single mint-green streak in the under-layer; clean Japanese makeup — thin brows, pearlescent eyeshadow, nude lip; an oversized charcoal coach jacket with an original graphic print on the back, a long white tee underneath, baggy black cargo pants, chunky platform sneakers, layered silver jewelry, wired over-ear headphones around her neck, a small crossbody bag. Her face, hair and wardrobe stay 100% identical from 0s to 28s — never altered, never touched by any "generation" effect. She is the only constant in the film until the final beat. Emotional arc: oblivious → noticing → confused → stunned → awestruck → transformed. [ARTWORK REFERENCE] @[image2] = the billboard artwork reference. Used ONLY for the flat graphic displayed on the bus-shelter digital billboard at 11–15s — including its complete typographic lockup ("Higgsfield × OpenAI" in small caps, "GPT IMAGE" in heavy white, the lime-green gradient "2.5", and the wide-tracked "SUNBURST" beneath), along with its layout, palette and composition. @[image2] must appear as a complete flat advertising image inside the billboard screen, carrying correct perspective, screen reflection and rain refraction across the glass surface. The woman pictured in @[image2] must NEVER be used for the protagonist's design, must NEVER leave the billboard screen, and must NEVER appear in the physical space of the scene. @[image1] and the woman in @[image2] are two entirely different people — never conflate them, never let one influence the other. [CORE VISUAL MOTIF — THE ONLY TRANSFORMATION LANGUAGE IN THE FILM] Anything being "regenerated" must follow the exact same three-stage process: ① the original object disintegrates from its edges into a cloud of tens of thousands of small translucent white crystalline beads — like bubble-film or shattered glass pearls, with real volume, specular highlights and real weight; ② the bead cloud hangs briefly and rapidly rearranges; ③ the new form grows outward from inside the cloud, the final layer of beads absorbing into its surface and vanishing. Do NOT use flash cuts, dissolves, particle-dispersal effects, or digital-glitch styling for any transformation. [SETTING] A Midtown Manhattan intersection after rain. Wet asphalt reflections, crosswalk stripes, yellow cabs, dense glass curtain walls and older stone buildings, neon and storefront signage, a fire hydrant, a newsstand, a bus-shelter digital billboard. Overcast diffused light throughout, no direct sun. 0–3s: Over-the-shoulder medium shot, following behind @[image1]. Her back is to camera as she stands on the crosswalk. To frame right, a 1970s green sedan in motion crystallizes entirely and reassembles as a black muscle car; a few frames later it crystallizes again and reassembles as a white wheel-less hover car. She hasn't registered it yet. 3–7s: The camera arcs around to her side. She starts looking around, the ends of her wolf cut swinging with the head turn. A businessman with a briefcase crystallizes mid-stride — the human-shaped bead cloud holds the walking pose for two full steps — and reassembles as a bare-chested barbarian warrior with feathered ornaments, continuing the same stride. Two or three more pedestrians crystallize in the background simultaneously, without pulling focus from her. 7–11s: Handheld tracking accelerates. More and more people on the street are replaced: a purple-skinned alien warrior woman, white-armored robot troopers, an original gold-suited superhero character (all original designs — no real-world recognizable characters, logos or trademarks). She walks faster, keeps turning to look back, her breathing quickening, one hand instinctively gripping her crossbody strap. The replacement frequency keeps rising, but the street's spatial relationships, lighting and wet reflections remain continuous throughout — no jump cuts. 11–15s: She stops in front of the bus shelter. The digital billboard inside cycles rapidly: a photoreal movie poster → a hand-painted concept illustration → a fashion editorial — each refresh executed with the same crystalline bead reassembly. It finally settles on the complete @[image2] artwork filling the entire screen, its typography and palette exactly as in @[image2]. She raises a hand and points at the screen, mouth open, unable to speak. 15–18s: The camera tilts down to her feet. The sidewalk paving crystallizes outward from where she stands in a perfect circle, white beads spreading three meters along the joints between slabs, the manhole cover and the standing water turning crystalline with it. She looks down. The ground gives out beneath her platform sneakers. 18–21s: Wide 24mm. The ground collapses and she falls straight down. The camera falls with her looking up — the entire city contracts above her into a shrinking square opening, the buildings on either side peeling away, tumbling and receding upward like building blocks, the sky turning to deep blue-black void. She throws her arms out, her hair, jacket hem and bag strap lifted by the updraft. 21–24s: During the fall the visual style jumps repeatedly, each jump bridged by one full-frame sweep of crystalline beads. In order: ① rich 1980s film stock — high saturation, heavy halation, heavy grain; ② black-and-white halftone manga panel — the character rendered in ink linework and dot screens against dense radial speed lines; ③ a neon purple-blue digital vortex with long light streaks stretching backward at speed; ④ near-total darkness with extreme motion blur. Her facial structure, hair and wardrobe must remain recognizably the same person in every one of these styles. 24–27s: She lands flat on her back on a smooth white floor. A wide lens pushes in slowly and tilts up to reveal the environment: an infinitely extending pure-white showroom/hangar with a gridded softbox ceiling. Hundreds of black circular pedestals cover the floor, each holding a character statue or a parked vehicle — original-design warriors, mechs, robots, sci-fi troopers, plus large military aircraft and helicopters. A small line of floating white label text sits in front of each pedestal: "FANTASY CHARACTER", "VEHICLE", "MECH" — set at a small point size, present purely as environmental information. 27–28s: She sits up and pushes herself to her feet, turning slowly to take in the hall, eyes widening in awe. The camera settles into a full-body medium-wide, centered, the statue array receding out of focus behind her. 28–30s [THE FINAL TRANSFORMATION]: The instant she stands fully upright, the crystalline beads rise from the floor around her feet and sweep up her body in one continuous wave — and for the first time in the film, SHE is the thing being regenerated. Her streetwear disintegrates into the bead cloud and a magical-girl battle uniform grows outward in its place, following the exact same three-stage motif, generating in a readable order from the torso outward: a white high-collar fitted bodice → a mint-green sailor collar with three silver stripes → a deep mint pleated skirt with silver trim, its pleats opening one by one → long white gloves to the upper arm with mint piping → white knee-high boots with a mid heel and mint cuffs → layered silver jewelry reforming as a silver star brooch at her chest → a large mint-green bow at her back with long ribbons falling to the backs of her knees → a fine silver tiara condensing across her forehead. Her face, hairstyle, hair color, the mint streak and the headphones around her neck remain completely unchanged — only the clothing is regenerated. The last beads absorb into the fabric. She looks down at her own hands, then slowly raises her head, the ribbons still settling behind her, and looks straight past camera with a small, dawning smile. The film cuts on that frame. No end card, no title, no tagline, no subtitle of any kind. [SOUND] Rain and wet-road traffic, urban ambient bed; high-frequency glass/ice shatter-and-rearrange sounds on every crystallization; a short bright locking tone as each reassembly completes; electronic refresh tones from the billboard; low-frequency collapse as the ground gives way; wind through the fall, with a distinct timbre shift for each of the four style jumps (film hiss / paper-and-ink texture / synth sweep / silence); one muffled impact on landing; near-total quiet inside the hall with only faint HVAC room tone; then, over the final transformation, an ascending shimmer of silk and crystal, each garment piece seating with a crisp click, the bow tying with a single sweep of ribbon, and one clear bell tone as the tiara locks in. One escalating electronic music bed ties it together, landing its final hit on her raised head. [HARD RULES] @[image1]'s face, hairstyle, hair color and headphones are absolutely unchanged across all 30 seconds. Her wardrobe is unchanged from 0s to 28s and may be regenerated ONLY in the 28–30s final beat — the transformation affects clothing only and must never alter her face, hair or identity. All other replacements happen only to the people, vehicles, ground and environment around her. The film may use only the single "crystalline bead disintegration → rearrangement → growth" transformation language, including for the final costume change; no other transition effect may be mixed in. From 0–18s the film must hold the logic of one spatially continuous tracking shot — the street's architecture, lighting and wet reflections must never jump. Every character and vehicle in the hall must be an original design; no real-world recognizable characters, brand marks, trademarks or identifiable film properties may appear, and the final magical-girl uniform must be an original design, not any existing anime character's costume. The only brand copy permitted anywhere in the film is the @[image2] artwork on the billboard screen at 11–15s, existing solely as a flat image inside that screen and never repeated elsewhere. No end card, no title card, no subtitles, no watermark, no overlaid text anywhere in the film. Avoid: cartoon rendering, game-CG feel, plastic materials, full-frame bloom, digital-glitch transitions, weightless floating, incorrect finger structure, garbled text, revealing or suggestive posing or camera angles.

I Quit Every "goodbye" video, every kombucha-vibed meltdown, every other moment you thought I, the actor comedian, finally snapped — that was me doing my literal job. I made ten grand off fake breakdowns while you sat in the comments like it was a funeral. That's exactly how broken the YouTube algorithm is. It doesn't reward the best content. It rewards whatever gets your rotting brain to drool for the longest amount of time. This is the uncensored, unedited breakdown of how content really works on this platform, why quality will never beat pure stupidity in the algorithm's eyes, and why I genuinely believe the internet — and the people running it — are shaping wars, politics, and the complete erosion of your ability to think for yourself. Also: age gaps, hypocrisy, karma, why many people who look gross aren't just unlucky, what's happening in my ongoing legal case (which you'll ignore unless it's coming from someone who has zero first hand actual knowledge), and a sincere go-f**k-yourself.

I paid Alex & Leila Hormozi $5,000 for their 2-day scaling workshop. Why? To grow my business from $6 million to $12 million in 2025. These 12 lessons from the event will help me get there: 1. The fastest-moving entrepreneurs are obsessive resource allocators. Similar to investors, they seek the best risk-adjusted returns with the resources they have. The main resources of the business are: • Time (of the team) • Attention (of the team) • And capital (of the business) So resource allocation is: • Aligning attention on the most important thing • Properly allocating everyone’s time to achieve that thing the fastest • Strategically investing capital to accelerate the outcome or increase its likelihood of achievement 2. $3m to $10m in EBITDA is where the majority of the value in a business is created. $3m in EBITDA likely gets a 1x multiple, so $3m of enterprise value. The process of going to $10m (when done well), not only 3.3x’s the EBITDA, but can take the multiple from 1 to 4 -> which is a 13.2x return. The EV goes from $3m to $40m, and that is the stage we are in right now as a business. 3. LTV:CAC are two metrics you must have staring at you and constantly audited. LTV = lifetime value of the customer CAC = customer acquisition cost The scope of calculating those is beyond this write-up, but basically you want this metric to be ~8:1 or higher when aggressively scaling a service-based business. On top of that, these are the only two metrics that you can “improve” in your business → either making customers worth more or reducing the cost to acquire them. You should be able to tie every project on your list directly to the improvement of one of these metrics. 4. We need a single dashboard with the most important metrics in the business. The quality of the dashboard is: • How many people use it on a daily basis • And how clearly they can connect their performance to the performance of the main numbers on the dashboard. We have data thrown about across Airtable, Google Sheets, and various Slack channels. Now, it’s time to unite them such that we can make even better decisions as a team. 5. Leveling up in business is transitioning from selling to people to selling to employees. In the beginning, you are the one creating all of the value. Over time, you will replace yourself out of certain functions that are customer-facing (if you are approaching business correctly). However, your job then becomes selling to your employees to spark their highest performance and retain them. 6. Brand is the best way to improve LTV and reduce CAC at the same time. It makes it cheaper to acquire customers since you have fixed media expenses (just labor) but unlimited upside in the number of eyeballs you can reach. It increases LTV because the continued content you create makes customers likely to keep purchasing because they associate the good content with the purchase they made, whether it’s free content or not. 7. Every single thing in your business is trainable, you just lack the skill of training. Seeing their presentations, their handshakes, the way they repeat the question back to the audience, it was so clear that Alex & Leila did this first, then obsessively role-played and drilled each person on their performance until it was indistinguishable from theirs. 8. The people doing it at the highest level of an obsessive, intentional standard. It was so evident the way these employees conducted themselves that they: • Loved working there • Loved the culture of high performance • And had been trained with extreme repetition and attention to detail 9. Past $3-5m in revenue, anything “new” starts with “who” not “how.” I made the mistake last year of trying to “bootstrap” our cold ads initiative (while continuing to run the rest of the business & sales team). I spent roughly ~200 hours on this throughout the year, which took time away from both my content and the management of the sales team. But for whatever reason, I thought I “had” to be the one who got it off the ground, then handed it off to a new hire or media buyer. But I had the sequence flipped. I should have spent the first 50 hours finding a world-class director of paid marketing, someone with far more experience than me building out a cold traffic acquisition system. Heck, I could have even spent 200 hours on it and ended up with a far greater return than I ended up with. 10. Excellence is a remarkably high number of extremely small details done well. Throughout the workshop, I paid close attention to the event operations, taking notes on how to run a great in-person event in case we wanted to do so in the future. Several things stood out that were clearly “iterations” from prior events, all based around eliminating the small, annoying parts of attending any kind of seminar. • High-quality food • Greeters at the door • Clear bathroom signs • A barista for fresh coffee • WiFi signs posted everywhere • Constant 15-minute breaks every 90 minutes The list goes on and on. 11. Any change you make in a business you should expect a 20% “decrease” in performance to start. That makes the hurdle rate to doing “new” at least 20% for it to be worth it, and arguably 40%. This happens because the switching cost leads to an immediate drop just from having to retrain the team. Change a meeting cadence, change a sales script, change an onboarding flow, all of these are going to come with a switching cost the team must overcome. Therefore, the highest risk-adjusted return is always to just do more or better or whatever you’re already doing, rather than add something new. 12. The ultimate size of the business is the sum of the intelligence of its people. Alex laid out this golden nugget during one of his talks and I found it interesting for a few reasons. First, because of his definition of intelligence = speed of learning, that means the ultimate size of the company is how quickly everyone can learn things. And so said another way, the ultimate size of the company is correlated to the speed of its iterations. The second reason I found this interesting is because you can create a culture of iteration through constant, rapid feedback on every behavior. And when I say constant, I mean constant. You could tell they’ve built this culture by the way their presenters all presented the exact same way as Alex and Leila. Aaand that’s it!

His breathing becomes uneven. He stares at it as memories of Elena flash across his mind (no flashback visuals, only conveyed through his expression). His shoulders slump. For a brief moment, he struggles to stay composed. He presses the pendant tightly against his forehead, closes his eyes, and exhales deeply as if blaming himself for not reaching her in time.

Mateo continues listening to the dead line for another second, refusing to lower the phone. 24.0–27.0 sec | PANEL 3 — DESPERATION Camera Handheld side tracking shot. Medium-wide framing. Natural movement. Action Mateo lowers the phone slowly. His breathing becomes heavier. Frustration overwhelms him. He punches a nearby concrete pillar with his free hand. The impact echoes through the empty warehouse. He immediately winces in pain. His knuckles become slightly bloodied. He doesn't care. Still clutching Elena's pendant tightly in the other hand, he leans against the pillar for a brief second, trying to regain control. He wipes the tears from his eyes with the back of his sleeve. Then straightens up. His expression changes completely. Fear is gone. Only determination remains. 27.0–30.0 sec | PANEL 4 — THE PROMISE Camera Wide cinematic shot. Very slow dolly forward. Long abandoned industrial road disappearing into darkness. Action Mateo steps forward into the empty roadway. His fist remains tightly closed around Elena's pendant. Far ahead— A single red taillight flickers once before disappearing behind an abandoned warehouse. Mateo never looks away. He quietly says: "I'm coming for you." No music for a beat. Only distant wind. Freeze exactly as the taillight disappears. Hold the frame for two full beats. Hard cut to black. END CARD Black background. Elegant gold serif typography. Slow two-second fade in. EPISODE 2 COMING SOON Hold for at least two seconds before fading out.

🔊 CHURCH: The Feast of Trumpets begins TOMORROW, FRIDAY 9/11–SUNDAY 9/13—and LOOK at the convergence surrounding it this year! Israel at the center. The nations focused on dividing the land. Iran and its bow bending, ready to break! War expanding. Earthquakes. Intense volcanic activity. Signs in the heavens. And all of it converging as the appointed time of the TRUMPET arrives this year on a Sabbath—A DAY OF REST! ALL THE SIGNS ARE NOT QUIETING DOWN—THEY ARE INTENSIFYING! KEEP LOOKING UP!!! 🎺QUICKLY FIRST — WHAT IS THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS? The Feast of Trumpets—Yom Teruahin the Bible—is one of the LORD's seven appointed feasts. It begins on 1 Tishrei, the first day of the seventh month, and God commanded it to be a day of rest, holy assembly, and trumpet blasts: 📖“In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.” Lev 23:24 👉🏼The trumpet was used in Scripture to call God's people together, announce movement of the camps, sound an alarm, and proclaim important occasions. And this year is extra special! 🎺Trumpets begins this Friday at sunset September 11, 2026, and 1 Tishrei falls on a Sabbath—God's day of REST. That isn't extremely rare, but the fact that the appointed time of the trumpet falls on the day of rest immediately makes me think of this verse, Isaiah 26:20: But look at what comes BEFORE: 📖 “Your dead shall live... Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust... And the earth shall cast out the dead.” Is 26:19 Then AFTER: 📖 “Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past.” Is 26:20 And the next verse tells us why: 📖 “For behold, the LORD comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity...” Is 26:21 🔗So, look at the prophetic sequence here: FIRST, resurrection. THEN, “Come, My people”—enter the chambers, hide, and rest. And AFTER that comes the indignation upon the earth. THIS MAKES US THINK ABOUT PAUL: 📖 “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” 1 Thes 4:16–17 Remember originally there were no chapter breaks—so after saying this Paul points directly to the Day of the Lord: 📖 “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren... you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night.” 1 Thes 5:1–2 Look at Paul's train of thought: 👉🏼Trumpet of God 👉🏼 Dead in Christ rise 👉🏼Church caught up 👉🏼Then Paul immediately turns to the Day of the LORD And centuries before Paul, look again at Isaiah's picture: 👉🏼The dead arise 👉🏼“Come, My people” 👉🏼Enter your chambers 👉🏼 Hide until the indignation passes 👉🏼 The LORD comes to punish the inhabitants of the earth THE PARALLEL IS AMAZING! And this year—coincidentally— 1 Tishrei, the first full day of Trumpets—falls on the Sabbath, which is THE DAY OF REST!! I LOVE IT!! NOW — LOOK AT THE WORLD INTO WHICH THIS FEAST IS ARRIVING. This is where things get really interesting!! Because Trumpets 2026 is not arriving in a quiet world by any stretch of the imagination. It is arriving while the convergence we have already been watching seems to be getting LOUDER! 🗓️I posted last week about Joel already, so I'm gonna try to not repeat my self. But remember what Peter said in his inaugural message to the Church at Pentecost, when he pointed directly back to Joel: 📖 “And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.” Acts 2:19–20 🔔A QUICK NOTE HERE: Some understand the Day of the LORD as referring only to Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation. I understand it as the 7 year tribulation period of judgment associated with Daniel’s 70th Week—not only its final battle. 👉🏼Paul says the Day of the LORD comes “as a thief in the night,” when people are saying “Peace and safety!” and then “sudden destruction” comes upon them (1 Thes 5:2–3). After seven years of catastrophic judgment, nobody will be saying "peace and safety" as preparing for Armageddon. Back to what I was saying: since I wrote that post last week, the signs haven’t gotten quieter… THEY JUST KEEP PILING ON!!! ⚠️We’re not looking at one volcano and saying, “THIS IS JOEL.” We’re not looking at one earthquake, one war, one eclipse, or one column of smoke and saying, “PROPHECY FULFILLED.” WE’RE JUST LOOKING AT THE CLUSTER. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CONVERGENCE AND THE PROPHETIC RESEMBLANCE! And look at what has been added to that picture just as we approach Trumpets: 🌋 ANAK KRAKATAU — INDONESIA A continuous eruptive episode lasting approximately 25 hours. Ash sent 50,000 feet into the atmosphere. Jakarta's international airport was forced to close. Nearly 3,000 flights disrupted. 341,000 passengers stranded. When I saw those towering plumes rising, I immediately thought of Joel’s language: “Pillars of smoke.” Fire. Ash. Towering plumes—so massive they were captured from space in NASA satellite imagery. 🔥 AND LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN INDONESIA AT THE SAME TIME. From September 1–7 alone, Indonesia's wildfire emissions reached 19.7 MILLION metric tons of CO₂—more than ONE-THIRD of the entire world's wildfire emissions during that period and 273% ABOVE the seasonal average. Authorities are calling this Indonesia's most intense wildfire season in 11 years, with massive haze now affecting millions of people. THE MIDDLE EAST IS NOT CALMING DOWN EITHER: ISRAEL — IRAN — AND NOW THE CONFLICT IS WIDENING: Last Thursday Prime Minister Netanyahu said: 🎙️“The achievements are immense, but there is still more to complete. I mean, first and foremost, the toppling of the regime. This regime in Iran — its end is near. It is weak, it is fighting for its life, it is faltering.” 🔔Remember what we're watching and waiting for. We're watching for that Jeremiah 49 “bow of Elam” to be broken, potentially opening a window of peace and security for Israel that could set the stage for Ezekiel 38. And as of September 10, the conflict is spreading even further. Iran reports attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz, while Houthi advances and attacks are putting the chokepoint Bab el-Mandeb at risk. Think about the geography: ⚠️ STRAIT OF HORMUZ — The world’s #1 oil chokepoint: DISRUPTED ⚠️ BAB EL-MANDEB — A critical global shipping chokepoint: AT RISK ⚠️ IRAN — ISRAEL — U.S. — HOUTHIS — SAUDI ARABIA THE WAR IS NOT CONTRACTING, IT IS WIDENING! AND THERE IS SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER HAPPENING AROUND ISRAEL RIGHT NOW. 🗡️As we approach Trumpets, two days ago, Sep 8th. international pressure for a TWO-STATE SOLUTION is intensifying again. The UK, France and Canada have announced new measures to protect that outcome—and they plan to take that effort directly to the UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY later this month. And THAT immediately brings us back to Joel once again. Because Joel doesn't only speak about blood, fire, pillars of smoke and signs in the heavens. He also tells us what happens when the NATIONS gather concerning ISRAEL: 📖 “I will also gather all nations… on account of My people, My heritage Israel… THEY HAVE ALSO DIVIDED UP MY LAND.” Joel 3:2 👉🏼THAT is the part of the convergence I don't want us to miss. Israel is not somewhere on the sidelines of this picture—ISRAEL IS AT THE CENTER. What makes this Trumpets season so extraordinary is THESE PARTICULAR PIECES coming together clearly at the same time. And THEN, on top of that geopolitical picture, look at what has been happening in the earth and the heavens. LET'S ZOOM OUT FOR A SECOND HERE. In just the last four weeks we have watched: 🌎 Major earthquakes — Colombia, Indonesia and Peru ⚫August 12 — Total solar eclipse 🔴August 27–28 — Deep partial lunar eclipse 🔥 September 1–7 — Indonesia wildfire emissions running 273% above the seasonal average 🌋 September 4–6 — Anak Krakatau’s extraordinary 25-hour eruptive episode 🇮🇱 September 8th: Growing international pressure for a TWO-STATE SOLUTION involving Israel’s land ⚔️ September 10th: Israel-Iran conflict continuing to widen across the region THIS IS THE VERY TIGHT CLUSTER WE’RE LOOKING AT!! And now, right as we arrive at TRUMPETS, listen to what Joel says: 📖“Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand.” Joel 2:1 📜THE SAME PROPHET who spoke of blood, fire, pillars of smoke, the darkened sun and the blood moon ALSO CRIES: BLOW THE TRUMPET AND SOUND THE ALARM!! 👉🏼 Again—earthquakes happen, volcanoes erupt, fires burn, wars happen… ONE EVENT IS NOT OUR POINT—THE CONVERGENCE IS! We are not declaring Joel fulfilled. We are WATCHING, just as Scripture tells us to watch. We are watching the birth pains Jesus described while also seeing striking echoes of Joel’s prophetic language—and THAT is INCREDIBLY fascinating and worth paying attention to!!! 🔊Church: The Feast of Trumpets is here! Trumpets CALLED THE ASSEMBLY. Trumpets SIGNALED THE CAMP TO MOVE. Trumpets SOUNDED THE ALARM. And now the appointed time of the TRUMPET has arrived while the convergence we have been watching is not getting quieter… IT IS GETTING LOUDER! Earthquakes. Fire. Bloodshed. Pillars of smoke. Signs in the heavens. THE PRESSURE OF NATIONS WANTING TO DIVIDE ISRAEL. And the “bow of Elam” looking closer than ever to breaking! Scripture never told us to sleep through the signs—it told us to WATCH!!! So let’s KEEP WATCHING, KEEP PRAYING, KEEP PREACHING THE GOSPEL!! SOON WE WILL HEAR THE TRUMPET OF GOD, ENTER OUR CHAMBERS, AND FINALLY ENTER OUR DAY OF REST!! KEEP LOOKING UP!! Maranatha! 🤍 Come, Lord Jesus, COME!!!
