Waiting for the Messiah The Jewish messianic belief plays a central role in the lives of Jewish people, but it is very different than Christians’ belief in Jesus as Christ. The redemption that Christ brought is internal transformation—being saved from one’s sinfulness, achieving the inner peace that comes from receiving God’s love. As a Jew, I rest in God’s unconditional love and the ever flowing blessings that come to me through divine grace. I do not, however, believe that the world has yet been redeemed. In a redeemed world, swords will be turned into ploughshares, nobody will go hungry, the powerless will not be oppressed, and justice will prevail everywhere. This was the vision of the Biblical Prophets, and it remains the foundation of Jewish hope for the future. ......... none of the laws of nature will be altered in the messianic era. Instead, he envisions a world governed by a King Messiah who is wise, righteous, just, and politically adept. There will be no servitude to foreign powers and there will be peace. All people will be free to devote themselves to the study of the Torah and the practice of good deeds, and there will be plenty of material goods for everyone. All of this will happen because of the righteousness and wisdom of the messianic ruler. ......... The more that we work collectively to end poverty and injustice and hate and war, the closer we get to ushering in the messianic era—a time when all people will live according to the will and wisdom of God. ........ this is a major reason why so many Jewish people become social, political, and economic activists, why Jews in the USA vote more liberally than others in the same economic brackets. Our interest in helping the less fortunate derives from a vision of what the world redeemed looks like.
Vatican Says Jews' Wait for Messiah Is Validated by the Old Testament The document says Jews and Christians in fact share the wait for the Messiah, though Jews are waiting for the first coming, and Christians for the second. ....... ''The difference consists in the fact that for us, he who will come will have the same traits of that Jesus who has already come'' ....... ''But now, for the first time, we're talking about our future waiting for the Messiah and the end of time.''
How Did Jews Come to Believe in a Messiah? A Brief History Nowhere does the Torah mention a redeemer known as the Messiah who will appear at the end of history. The origin of this belief stems from somewhere else entirely ...... One of the major tenets of Judaism is the belief that a redeeming figure known as the Messiah will appear at the end of history, bringing about a profound and positive change in the world .
The Pandemic and the search for the Jewish Messiah The Bible never speaks about believing in the Messiah. Because his reign will be an historically verifiable reality, self-evident to any person, it won’t require belief or faith… Because no person has ever fulfilled the picture painted in the Bible of this future King, Jewish people still await the coming of the Messiah. All past Messianic claimants, including Jesus of Nazareth, Bar Cochba and Shabbtai Tzvi have been rejected.”

Well, after nearly 3 years, I’m finally experiencing COVID. I’m sharing this for a few reasons - most notably, the importance of masking and taking necessary precautions even if the symptoms are non-specific. (1/n)
The concept of "runway" is a little odd at pre-seed. Your goal is not to survive for many years until the market changes, it's to validate the idea you have right now.
Telling founders to optimize for existence pre-PMF tells me a lot of VCs still don't understand their business.

Two more states ban TikTok after FBI director Christopher Wray warned that TikTok — owned by Chinese company ByteDance — has the ability to control the app's algorithm to "manipulate content, and if they want to, to use it for influence operations." He also warned that the data could be utilized for espionage.
US makes fusion energy breakthrough the reaction that powers the sun and that could one day provide a near limitless and zero-carbon source of energy here on Earth........ researchers used nearly 200 lasers to heat a tiny pellet of hydrogen plasma to more than 180 million degrees Fahrenheit. The hydrogen atoms then fused and released vast amounts of energy — more energy, crucially, than it took to start the reaction. ....... The fusion reaction lasted for only 100 trillionths of a second; scientists caution it will take decades to turn what is currently an experimental technology into a large-scale power plant.

“I never thought my own country would treat me this way." We tell the story of a Russian army officer in Ukraine: after refusing to fight, he was beaten & threatened with execution to try to force him back to the front line. Producer @BBCWillVernonhttps://t.co/L2Fjs8aiAW

The US has spent 5% of its military budget to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces, thus destroying 30 to 40% of the Russian army. Imagine what will happen if the US increases its assistance and provides Ukraine with more modern weapons. https://t.co/U6A68Ji7tM
#Russianarmy in the last 48 hours has lost 1000 soldiers to move the front line in #Bakmut 125 meters to the south . At that pace and rate of losses .

For those claiming to be for peace by calling on the U.S. to stop arming Ukraine, please listen to Nobel Peace Prize winner @avalaina : “Peace cannot be reached by a country under attack laying down its arms...This would not be peace, but occupation.”

It’s absurd. Saving weapons for a possible fight with Russia in Europe when there is already a fight with Russia in Europe where those weapons are badly needed! Ukraine is happy to decimate the Russian army for you, just give them all they need. https://t.co/ZXzRRrEyC6
The Russian army has become bogged down in eastern Ukraine and does not have enough troops to launch a fresh offensive for several months, according to British intelligence https://t.co/CCEb5eqB6t
This is why it’s called “Rushism”. It is not a derogatory, it is fact.
You cannot reason with that because it is the product of 22 years of terror and brainwashing. All we have to do is to enable the destruction of the Russian army in the most effective and thorough way. https://t.co/BJxRjk6PnV

Ukraine is winning. But Bakhmut is the place where the Russians have been hoping to capture. That's why I pop by every now and then, just to see for myself. And the city centre? No Russian army. Because if there had been, I wouldn't be alive and kicking. https://t.co/lh070ACrE9
