Your question, What is the land that God promised to Israel? I’m not sure if your referring to the promised made unto Abraham or not with your question. But I would like to address the promised made unto made to Abraham that he would inherit a country wherein would be a city whose builder and maker was God. Where God himself would dwell. Abraham, throughout his entire life, embarked on a journey in search of the promises made to him by God, yet he never succeeded in obtaining them. Consequently, it was said that he traveled in the land of promise, seeking the fulfillment of God’s promises. There are two very important scriptures you must come to know. The first is who the promises were made to. We see in Galatians 3:16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ,” that the promises were made to Abraham and to Christ. Now let’s see the promised land God spoke of and why Abraham never came into it. Hebrews 11:14 “For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Abraham was in search of a land that did not exist on this earth. It was a heavenly place that God has prepared. So the promised land is a heavenly place not of this world but the one to come.

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose says there is no such thing as nothingness, and he goes even further by suggesting your soul is eternal because matter cannot be destroyed. Penrose is not just a voice on a podcast, he is a Nobel laureate, and his claim is that nothing truly vanishes. Every particle that makes up a person existed long before they arrived, and none of it is erased when they are gone. It is a striking idea that turns a familiar scientific principle into a deeply personal question. If nothing ever truly disappears, the question becomes what happens to the part of us that is more than just atoms. Seen this way, death starts to look less like a final ending and more like a transformation. Whether you take it as science, philosophy, or something in between, it is a powerful thought to sit with. #RogerPenrose #Physics #Consciousness #Eternity

Hebrews 6:10 The writer of Hebrews begins with a reminder of the foundation of our faith and how we turned to God through repentance. He’s encouraging us to get past the elementary stages in Christ’s teachings and move toward spiritual maturity, not forgetting what we know, but moving forward, using it as we walk out our spirit filled lives. We’re to be steadfast in our faith, to be strengthened and hold on, to persevere and endure. He is El Roi, the God Who Sees…us. He sees what we do with the love He’s poured into us, how we share it with others, particularly those of the faith in ministering to their needs. If we’ve ever wondered what the purpose of our life is, we can stop looking. We can stop striving over this timeless question as He’s already given us the answer. Our purpose is to serve Him and serve others. How we do that is embedded in our uniqueness, the creativity He used as He knit us together in the womb. As we move toward a maturity in our faith, the things we do change, the things we pray for are…different, we want what really matters to God, and what lines up with the Hope we have in salvation. We can know, most assuredly, He’s not going to let us go… Lord, we thank You for watching over us. We thank You for Your guidance and Your encouragement to grow stronger in the faith, to make choices based on what we know of You. Show us opportunities to serve You through serving the needs of Your people and plant in us the seed the desires Your Righteousness above all else.

👁️ Scientists have identified a protein that may be preventing damaged eyes from repairing themselves, opening a possible new approach to restoring lost vision. Unlike animals such as zebrafish, which can naturally replace damaged retinal neurons, mammals have very limited regenerative abilities in their eyes. Once these specialized cells are destroyed, the resulting vision loss is often permanent. This is one reason diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration remain so difficult to treat. Now, researchers have identified a potential barrier to retinal regeneration: a protein called PROX1. The protein helps regulate the behavior of cells in the retina, but it may also prevent certain supporting cells from transforming into new neurons after an injury. Scientists investigated whether blocking PROX1 could remove this restriction and reactivate the retina's natural repair mechanisms. In experiments involving mice, suppressing the protein encouraged retinal support cells to acquire regenerative properties and produce new neurons, helping repair damaged retinal tissue. The researchers also reported improvements in visual function that persisted over time, suggesting that the newly generated cells could contribute to restoring sight. some of the biological processes needed for retinal repair may still exist in mammals but remain suppressed by molecular signals. However, these results come from animal experiments. Scientists have not yet demonstrated that blocking PROX1 can safely regenerate human retinal cells or reverse blindness in patients. Still, the discovery offers a promising direction for regenerative medicine, where future treatments might do more than protect surviving retinal cells. They could potentially help the eye replace some of the cells it has already lost.

There’s a couple of subjects. that’s on my mind this morning, the fact that I had put a scripture post on Facebook, not for anybody particular, just for myself, and they took it off as spam. What is up with that?? secondly, the other thing that has been on my mind is politics. It seems to make people lose friendships and relationships, calls, arguments, and actually takes peace away. You can’t have a discussion without someone getting angry. debates, or whatever you want to call it, turns into arguments, causes people anger, and loses relationships now. That was a time when you could discuss religion or politics without causing issues. What ever happened to freedom of speech when people feel free to talk about their feelings and their opinions? and have peaceful discussions, or have we ever had that? It’s good to hear each other’s point of view. It’s good to listen to people and see why a person thinks the way they do. I have done that over the years to my children grandchildren and my great-grandchildren. my grandchildren have taught me the most about listening and learning, and to have an open mind I think a lot of the way people think is the way they were taught as children. and the way their parents were taught before them. for some people, it seems hard to listen to new and different ideas and the way that you grew up, especially maybe baby boomers, which I am, but it really is important. You really get to know your family, your children, your friends, and whoever you come across. It’s good to know how people think and to discuss things peacefully without anger. and who knows, you might make a change for the better.Peace and kindness

CHILE, THE U.S. & THE ECHO OF CYBERSYN In the early 1970s, Chile’s government explored Project Cybersyn, which used telex machines and a central operations room to monitor economic activity. The system was never fully implemented. The project unfolded amid intense political conflict. Declassified U.S. records document efforts by the United States to pressure and undermine Salvador Allende’s government, including economic and political measures. Separately, Chile’s armed forces carried out the September 1973 coup that overthrew Allende and established a military government. The documented U.S. role, the Chilean military’s responsibility for the coup, and the broader historical consequences are distinct issues. Historians continue to debate the extent and significance of U.S. involvement in the events leading to the coup. There is no evidence that Cybersyn caused the coup; its history is instead part of a wider discussion about technology, political power, and economic independence. Where are Chile and the U.S. today? They are close partners in trade, security, and critical minerals. Their trade reached an estimated $49.5 billion in 2025. China remains Chile’s largest goods-trading partner, with the United States second. The relationship has developed substantially, while the history of the 1973 coup and the role of outside powers remain subjects of public and scholarly discussion. Can countries cooperate while acknowledging a difficult past? Sources: U.S. trade data · Chile trade overview · U.S.–Chile agreements · Declassified records
