The war in Gaza has affected the Israeli government's international standing in trade and commerce as well as their economy. Here are some key points:

International Standing in Trade and Commerce:

• Israel's conduct in Gaza has resulted in damage to the country's reputation on the global stage.

• The pursuit of military actions in Gaza has led to a historic damage to Israel's international standing.

• The Israeli government's actions in Gaza have caused a loss of global credibility.

• The war has led to increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza and EU sanctions against Hamas, which can impact trade relations.

Economy:

• The war has had significant economic implications, not only for Israel but also for the global economy.

• In the fourth quarter, Israel's economy experienced a 19.4% drop, with a 26.9% decrease in private spending and an 18.3% fall in exports.

• The war has had a huge impact on both the Israeli and Palestinian economies.

• The Bank of Israel estimated the war's "gross effects" on Israel at 198 billion shekels ($53 billion).

• Mobilization of reservists, who represent about 8% of Israel's workforce, has also affected the economy.

Overall, the war in Gaza has had negative consequences for Israel's international standing in trade and commerce, as well as its economy.

The concept of the Rorschach test, is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation. Here are some key points related to your observation:

• The painting of King Charles you posted evokes varied interpretations and responses from those making comments, similar to how the Rorschach test works.

• Through analyzing what individuals see in the painting, it can offer insights into their perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and personal experiences.

• Just like with the Rorschach test, different people may see different things in the painting based on their unique perspectives and subconscious associations.

• This process can sometimes reveal aspects of a person's personality, emotions, or even potential mental health concerns, although it's important to note that interpreting art in this way is not a diagnostic tool.

It's fascinating how art can spark such diverse reactions and interpretations, providing a glimpse into the complexity of human perception and psychology. I noticed that you saw a crown while I saw both a demon and Satan, horns and all. Clearly that was what the painting interned to portray, symbolism, and you fell for it hook, line and sinker. You did get a lot of comments out of it though and so that should help with your subscriber base.

Johnathon Yeo’s portrait of the king is replete with all his vices. It is technically superficial and unfelt. There’s no insight into the king’s personality here, just a weird allegory about a monarch butterfly that Yeo says symbolizes his metamorphosis from prince to king. 

Nice flattery. So it’s no surprise King Charles was said to be pleased with his first official portrait since being crowned. As he courageously copes with cancer, who’d begrudge any pleasure this glowing red homage gives good old King Charles? But the pleasing effect of joy and uplift as Charles’s red military uniform melds with a pinkish psychedelic splurge that was bought at the price of any genuine artistic perceptiveness or purpose. 

Yeo’s art is formulaic, and this one follows the formula. He does a pedantic study of someone’s features then – daringly! – collides this staid depiction with a free burst of lurid abstract wallpaper. 

He did Cara Delevingne in a vague subaqua setting and Taron Egerton in purple and pink rain. This is an evasion of actual portraiture based on acute, and hard observation. Royalists want portraits that look at their idols too astutely. 

Only one great artist in recent times has been allowed near a royal head: Lucian Freud’s searching, cruelly honest portrait of Queen Elizabeth II will never be loved by sentimentalists because it dares to treat the regal personage as just another person. And to be fair, Yeo has seen Charles in the same way he sees everyone – blandly. 

I would say his portrayal of that kindly face adds nothing to what we see of Charles in photos and TV images, except that it is not fair to photographers and camera people who often capture awkward, complex moments in the royal interaction with reality. Even the deferential coverage of the accession gave us those less-than-jolly glimpses of Charles infuriated by a pen. 

It’s tempting to laugh at this painting, but if you care about art, it’s a little sad as well. Yeo seems to be saying that the painting is just a cheery bit of fakery and razzle-dazzle. Who cares about the truth when you can beautify? A serious portrait would look hard and long at Charles (or anyone), not combine facile pseudo-portraiture with the cheery serotonin of random colour. We all know the king is more complex than this. The king knows he is more complicated than this.

When the portrait was unveiled it should be noted that this was not what King Charles expected as he twinged slightly when he first saw it. It was commissioned before the coronation in consultation with Charles while he was still a Prince. So unless he specifically requested what we now see it is still just the interpretation only of the artist that now leaves everyone to gasp at its shock and aware effect which is likely what he intended rather than a conventional portrait. 

 It is a masterpiece of shallowness by an artist so ludicrously upbeat that he should be called Jonathan Yeo!

The International Criminal Court Prosecutor's Office has requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence chief Yoav Gallant, as well as for three Hamas leaders: Yahya Sinwar, Mohamed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh.

The warrants are for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during and since the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7th last year, which resulted in the deaths of about 1,140 Israelis.

The charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include "causing extermination, causing starvation as a method of war, including the denial of humanitarian aid" as stated by the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor. 

The ICC is seeking an arrest warrant for Gallant in connection with the same allegations as Netanyahu, alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories.

This development is significant and indicates that legal action is being taken against these individuals.

These arrest warrants are part of the ICC's efforts to address alleged crimes committed in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is important to note that the ICC's jurisdiction and the issuance of arrest warrants can be subject to various legal and political considerations and may take months to implement.

In the meantime any of the accused (the accursed) can freely travel to wherever they like, until the arrest warrants are approved. After that, they can and will be arrested.

Israel’s bombardment and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which has continued for more than seven months since that attack, has killed more than 35,000 people, mostly women and children, with thousands more lost and feared dead under the rubble.

In his statement, Khan praised the panel of experts he had convened to review the evidence and provide legal analysis to support these arrest warrants. He said its members have “immense standing in international humanitarian law and international criminal law”.

In an article for the Financial Times, the panel of experts collectively wrote that this is not the first time an international prosecutor has convened such a panel to seek advice regarding conflict and that it is not unusual for a prosecutor to invite external experts to participate in an evidence review.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has 127 member nations, but Israel and the United States are not members. Once warrants are issued, the five individuals mentioned will be subject to arrest if they travel to any of the 127 member territories. They can also be brought to trial at The Hague at any time.

The number 7 holds significance in the Bible as it is often seen as complete and perfect. It is mentioned 524 times throughout the Bible, with various symbolic meanings attached to it. However, it's important to note that it  is speculative to interpret specific events, such as the October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel, as a sign of the end times based solely on the occurrence of the number 7 in the Bible.

While the occurrence of the number 7 in the Bible is indeed significant, I'm not attempting to conclude that what happened on October 7th aligns with established theological principles and the end times until I observe further developments in the Middle East. 

One of the killers of Palestinians Former Israeli Defense Minister and Netanyahu rival Benny Gantz has stated that he will resign from Israel's war Cabinet on June 8  (the sixth month) unless a new plan for dealing with Gaza is developed. Gantz's ultimatum comes as a response to the ongoing conflict and challenges in the region, particularly about Gaza.

This move could have significant implications for the political landscape in Israel and the handling of security matters in the region. However, that date still gives Netanyahu time to completely take over Gaza and kill thousands of innocent civilians. 

In the Bible, the number 8 is often associated with new beginnings, resurrection, and regeneration. Here are some symbolic meanings of the number 8 in the Bible:

New Beginnings: The number 8 is often seen as symbolizing a new start or a new era. In the Bible, the eighth day represents a new beginning beyond the natural order. For example, Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week, which symbolizes a new beginning for humanity.

Resurrection: The number 8 is connected to the concept of resurrection because Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, which is the eighth day counting from the Jewish Sabbath.

Regeneration: Just as the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, it also represents regeneration or renewal. It signifies a transformation or a fresh start in one's spiritual journey.

Covenant: Circumcision, a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham, was to be performed on the eighth day after a male child's birth. This ritual symbolizes the covenant relationship between God and His people.

Completeness or Fulfillment: In some interpretations, the number 8 is seen as representing completeness or fulfillment. It can signify the completion of a cycle or the fulfillment of a promise or prophecy.

Overall, the number 8 in the Bible carries rich symbolic meanings related to new beginnings, resurrection, regeneration, covenant, and completeness.

I am still searching and waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27. Gantz's actions could signal its confirmation by the Antichrist. In this process, forget about Third Temples and Red Cows.

I was sorry to hear about the tragic news of the death of the Iranian president in a helicopter crash. It is indeed a sorrowful event. Such incidents are always deeply distressing and significantly impact a nation and its people. The loss of a leader can have far-reaching consequences both domestically and internationally. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Iran during this difficult time.

The term "god of forces" is mentioned in the Bible in the book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 11:38 (King James Version). In this verse, it refers to a deity or power worshiped by a king who exalts himself above all gods. However, it does not specifically name this deity as "Apollyon."

"Apollyon" is a different term mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 9:11 (King James Version), Apollyon is described as the king of the demonic locusts that emerge during the fifth trumpet judgment. Apollyon is often interpreted as a symbolic figure representing destruction or the angel of the bottomless pit. Therefore, "god of forces" and "Apollyon" are distinct terms found in different parts of the Bible with different contexts and meanings. 

Do not take the Bible out of context and add meanings or verses that are not there to begin with. To do so, you are summoning a curse upon yourself.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and research on mythological and historical figures in relation to interpretations of Daniel Chapter 11 verse 37 and the concept of the Antichrist. Your exploration of these figures adds depth to understanding the diverse interpretations surrounding the Antichrist concept and biblical text, despite their lack of explicit mention in the verse.

Regarding Daniel Chapter 11 Verse 37, while there is no explicit mention of the Antichrist as a Jewish figure, it is still the most popular interpretation. The verse describes a ruler who will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or the desire of women, with interpretations varying among scholars and religious traditions. The concept of the Antichrist is more commonly associated with Christian eschatology, particularly in the New Testament book of Revelation. The Antichrist is often depicted as a figure who opposes Christ and deceives people, but the desire of women is never depicted as a mythological, historical figure or deity, as you are suggesting.

• Ashtoreth (Astarte):

  • A pagan goddess worshipped by ancient cultures.

  • Associated with Baal, the supreme god.

  • Often depicted as a fertility goddess.

• Ishtar:

  • A Mesopotamian goddess known for war and love.

  • Considered a fertility deity.

  • Associated with power and dominance.

• Queen of Heaven:

  • Title given to various ancient sky goddesses.

  • In Christian tradition, associated with Mary, mother of Jesus.

  • Seen as the heavenly queen due to her son's role as king.

• Libertas:

  • Roman goddess symbolizing liberty.

  • Personification of freedom and personal liberty.

  • Had a temple on the Aventine Hill in Rome.

• Lady Liberty:

  • Refers to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

  • Gift from France to the United States.

  • Represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty.

The United States proxy war in Ukraine has directly affected high food prices globally. The protracted conflict in Ukraine has led to trade disruptions and significant increases in international prices for energy and agricultural commodities. Global crop and food prices have been increasing since mid-2020, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine has further driven up prices.

In fact, because of Russia's invasion, global food prices hit an all-time high in March 2022. Although prices have started receding in the global market, they remain elevated even after retreating from their peak levels. Therefore, the war in Ukraine has had a direct impact on high food prices worldwide.

It's important to approach the topic of wars with sensitivity and historical accuracy. The US has been involved in wars with varying degrees of success and outcomes, including victories and defeats. 

However, it is not entirely accurate to say that the US starts and loses most wars, but they have been involved in more wars than any other nation throughout history each with its historical context, motivations, and outcomes.  

Wars are complex events influenced by a variety of factors, such as political, economic, social, and strategic considerations. However, in the instance of the United States, they appear to start another war just as soon as they finish another one.

The decision to engage in military action is a serious one that often involves debates, diplomacy, and considerations of national security. It still appears essential for the US economy to start one war after another for the manufacture of weapons.

Russia still needs to be stopped in Ukraine. However, there is also no doubt that the current genocide in Gaza is a result of the Jewish bankers and industrialists within the United States backing Israel to the hilt despite the obvious horrors they are inflicting on unprotected Palestinian civilians.

Accordingly, Biden will not necessarily lose the election because of inflation but because of the way he handled the racial extermination of Palestinians in Gaza, with both Ukraine and Gaza Biden’s wars. 

However, as he stole the election the last time, nothing is preventing him from doing so again despite what the polls predict. Trump will still lose again and you will be gone off YouTube forever.

Revelation Chapter 6 Verses 5 and 6

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 

The symbolism in the Book of Revelation mentioned is highly symbolic and open to various interpretations. The concept of control over resources and manipulation of food supplies can be tied to broader themes of power, control, and scarcity in apocalyptic literature.  

In Revelation, Chapter 6 of the Bible, the rider on the black horse is often interpreted as a symbol of scarcity and famine. The passage describes a rider holding a pair of scales, which is associated with measuring out food. However, the specific scenario about the Antichrist taking control of food supplies, setting exorbitant prices, and deciding who lives or dies, although not explicitly mentioned in this chapter or in the Book of Revelation, is what it refers to. Although the Antichrist's actions are not directly stated in Revelation Chapter 6, most scholars agree with that interpretation.

It's essential to approach the interpretation of biblical passages with caution and consider different perspectives from scholars and theologians when trying to understand the meanings behind these symbolic images in the Book of Revelation. To suggest that Trump is the Antichrist would mean that every Christian must be aware of that fact by now and would not vote for Trump because they would already know that food prices will skyrocket under the Antichrist, as stated in Revelation Chapter 6 and the Black Horse.
