The mission of Paul and Barnabas. (1-3) Elymas the sorcerer. (4-13) Paul's discourse at Antioch. (14-41) He preaches to the Gentiles, and is persecuted by the Jews. (42-52)
Verses 1-3 What an assemblage was here! In these names we see that the Lord raises up instruments for his work, from various places and stations in life; and zeal for his glory induces men to give up flattering connexions and prospects to promote his cause. It is by the Spirit of Christ that his ministers are made both able and willing for his service, and taken from other cares that would hinder in it. Christ's ministers are to be employed in Christ's work, and, under the Spirit's guidance, to act for the glory of God the Father. They are separated to take pains, and not to take state. A blessing upon Barnabas and Saul in their present undertaking was sought for, and that they might be filled with the Holy Ghost in their work. Whatever means are used, or rules observed, the Holy Ghost alone can fit ministers for their important work, and call them to it.
Verses 4-13 Satan is in a special manner busy with great men and men in power, to keep them from being religious, for their example will influence many. Saul is here for the first time called Paul, and never after Saul. Saul was his name as he was a Hebrew; Paul was his name as he was a citizen of Rome. Under the direct influence of the Holy Ghost, he gave Elymas his true character, but not in passion. A fulness of deceit and mischief together, make a man indeed a child of the devil. And those who are enemies to the doctrine of Jesus, are enemies to all righteousness; for in it all righteousness is fulfilled. The ways of the Lord Jesus are the only right ways to heaven and happiness. There are many who not only wander from these ways themselves, but set others against these ways. They commonly are so hardened, that they will not cease to do evil. The proconsul was astonished at the force of the doctrine upon his own heart and conscience, and at the power of God by which it was confirmed. The doctrine of Christ astonishes; and the more we know of it, the more reason we shall see to wonder at it. Those who put their hand to the plough and look back, are not fit for the kingdom of God. Those who are not prepared to face opposition, and to endure hardship, are not fitted for the work of the ministry.
Verses 14-31 When we come together to worship God, we must do it, not only by prayer and praise, but by the reading and hearing of the word of God. The bare reading of the Scriptures in public assemblies is not enough; they should be expounded, and the people exhorted out of them. This is helping people in doing that which is necessary to make the word profitable, to apply it to themselves. Every thing is touched upon in this sermon, which might best prevail with Jews to receive and embrace Christ as the promised Messiah. And every view, however short or faint, of the Lord's dealings with his church, reminds us of his mercy and long-suffering, and of man's ingratitude and perverseness. Paul passes from David to the Son of David, and shows that this Jesus is his promised Seed; a Saviour to do that for them, which the judges of old could not do, to save them from their sins, their worst enemies. When the apostles preached Christ as the Saviour, they were so far from concealing his death, that they always preached Christ crucified. Our complete separation from sin, is represented by our being buried with Christ. But he rose again from the dead, and saw no corruption: this was the great truth to be preached.
Verses 32-37 The resurrection of Christ was the great proof of his being the Son of God. It was not possible he should be held by death, because he was the Son of God, and therefore had life in himself, which he could not lay down but with a design to take it again. The sure mercies of David are that everlasting life, of which the resurrection was a sure pledge; and the blessings of redemption in Christ are a certain earnest, even in this world. David was a great blessing to the age wherein he lived. We were not born for ourselves, but there are those living around us, to whom we must study to be serviceable. Yet here is the difference; Christ was to serve all generations. May we look to Him who is declared to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead, that by faith in him we may walk with God, and serve our generation according to his will; and when death comes, may we fall asleep in him, with a joyful hope of a blessed resurrection.
Verses 38-41 Let all that hear the gospel of Christ, know these two things: 1. That through this Man, who died and rose again, is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins. Your sins, though many and great, may be forgiven, and they may be so without any injury to God's honour. 2. It is by Christ only that those who believe in him, and none else, are justified from all things; from all the guilt and stain of sin, from which they could not be justified by the law of Moses. The great concern of convinced sinners is, to be justified, to be acquitted from all their guilt, and accepted as righteous in God's sight, for if any is left charged upon the sinner, he is undone. By Jesus Christ we obtain a complete justification; for by him a complete atonement was made for sin. We are justified, not only by him as our Judge but by him as the Lord our Righteousness. What the law could not do for us, in that it was weak, the gospel of Christ does. This is the most needful blessing, bringing in every other. The threatenings are warnings; what we are told will come upon impenitent sinners, is designed to awaken us to beware lest it come upon us. It ruins many, that they despise religion. Those that will not wonder and be saved, shall wonder and perish.
Verses 42-52 The Jews opposed the doctrine the apostles preached; and when they could find no objection, they blasphemed Christ and his gospel. Commonly those who begin with contradicting, end with blaspheming. But when adversaries of Christ's cause are daring, its advocates should be the bolder. And while many judge themselves unworthy of eternal life, others, who appear less likely, desire to hear more of the glad tidings of salvation. This is according to what was foretold in the Old Testament. What light, what power, what a treasure does this gospel bring with it! How excellent are its truths, its precepts, its promises! Those came to Christ whom the Father drew, and to whom the Spirit made the gospel call effectual, ( Romans 8:30 ) . As many as were disposed to eternal life, as many as had concern about their eternal state, and aimed to make sure of eternal life, believed in Christ, in whom God has treasured up that life, and who is the only Way to it; and it was the grace of God that wrought it in them. It is good to see honourable women devout; the less they have to do in the world, the more they should do for their own souls, and the souls of others: but it is sad, when, under colour of devotion to God, they try to show hatred to Christ. And the more we relish the comforts and encouragements we meet with in the power of godliness, and the fuller our hearts are of them, the better prepared we are to face difficulties in the profession of godliness.
In Company with Barnabas.
Acts 13:1-14:28'.
Acts 13:1-3 . BARNABAS AND SAUL, DIVINELY CALLED TO LABOR AMONG THE GENTILES, ARE SET APART AND SENT FORTH BY THE CHURCH AT ANTIOCH.
The first seven chapters of this book might be entitled, The Church among the Jews; the next five (chapters eight through twelve), The Church in Transition from Jews to Gentiles; and the last sixteen (chapters thirteen through twenty-eight), The Church among the Gentiles [BAUMGARTEN]. "Though Christianity had already spread beyond the limits of Palestine, still the Church continued a stranger to formal missionary effort. Casual occurrences, particularly the persecution at Jerusalem ( Acts 8:2 ), had hitherto brought about the diffusion of the Gospel. It was from Antioch that teachers were first sent forth with the definite purpose of spreading Christianity, and organizing churches, with regular institutions ( Acts 14:23 )" [OLSHAUSEN].
1. there were . . . certain prophets--(See on Ac 11:27 ).
and teachers; as Barnabas, &c.--implying that there were others there, besides; but, according to what appears the true reading, the meaning is simply that those here mentioned were in the Church at Antioch as prophets and teachers.
Simeon . . . Niger--of whom nothing is known.
Lucius of Cyrene--( Acts 2:20 ). He is mentioned, in Romans 16:21 , as one of Paul's kinsmen.
Manaen--or Menahem, the name of one of the kings of Israel ( 2 Kings 15:14 ).
which had been brought up with--or, the foster brother of.
Herod the tetrarch--that is, Antipas, who was himself "brought up with a certain private person at Rome" [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 17.1,3]. How differently did these two foster brothers turn out--the one, abandoned to a licentious life and stained with the blood of the most distinguished of God's prophets, though not without his fits of reformation and seasons of remorse; the other, a devoted disciple of the Lord Jesus and prophet of the Church at Antioch! But this is only what may be seen in every age: "Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in Thy sight.' If the courtier, whose son, at the point of death, was healed by our Lord ( John 4:46 ) was of Herod's establishment, while Susanna's husband was his steward ( Luke 8:3 ), his foster brother's becoming a Christian and a prophet is something remarkable.
and Saul--last of all, but soon to become first. Henceforward this book is almost exclusively occupied with him; and his impress on the New Testament, on Christendom, and on the world is paramount.
2. As they ministered to the Lord--The word denotes the performance of official duties of any kind, and was used to express the priestly functions under the Old Testament. Here it signifies the corresponding ministrations of the Christian Church.
and fasted--As this was done in other cases on special occasions ( Acts 13:3 Acts 13:14 Acts 13:23 ), it is not improbable that they had been led to expect some such prophetic announcement at this time.
the Holy Ghost said--through some of the prophets mentioned in Acts 13:1 .
Separate me--So Romans 1:1 .
for the work whereunto I have called them--by some communication, perhaps, to themselves: in the case of Saul at least, such a designation was indicated from the first ( Acts 22:21 ). Note.--While the personality of the Holy Ghost is manifest from this language, His supreme divinity will appear equally so by comparing it with Hebrews 5:4 .
3. laid their hands on them--(See on Ac 6:6 ) --"recommending them to the grace of God for the work which they had to fulfil" ( Acts 14:26 ).
sent them away--with the double call--of the Spirit first, and next of the Church. So clothed, their mission is thus described: "They being sent forth by the Holy Ghost." Have we not here for all time the true principle of appointment to sacred offices?
Acts 13:4-12 . ARRIVING IN CYPRUS THEY PREACH IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF SALAMIS--AT PAPHOS, ELYMAS IS STRUCK BLIND, AND THE GOVERNOR OF THE ISLAND IS CONVERTED.
4, 5. departed unto Seleucia--the seaport of Antioch, from which it lay nearly due west fifteen miles, and five from the Mediterranean shore, on the river Orontes.
thence sailed to Cyprus--whose high mountain summits are easily seen in clear weather from the coast [COLONEL CHESNEY in HOWSON]. "Four reasons may have induced them to turn in first to this island: (1) Its nearness to the mainland; (2) It was the native place of Barnabas, and since the time when Andrew found his brother Simon, and brought him to Jesus, and "Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus," family ties had not been without effect on the progress of the Gospel. (3) It could not be unnatural to suppose that the truth would be welcomed in Cyprus when brought by Barnabas and his kinsman Mark, to their own connections or friends. The Jews were numerous in Salamis. By sailing to that city, they were following the track of the synagogues; and though their mission was chiefly to the Gentiles, their surest course for reaching them was through the proselytes and Hellenizing Jews. (4) Some of the Cypriotes were already Christians. Indeed, no one place out of Palestine, except Antioch, had been so honorably associated with the work of successful evangelization" [HOWSON].
5. and when they were at Salamis--the Grecian capital of the island, on the eastern side, and not many hours' sail from Seleucia. At this busy mercantile port immense numbers of Jews were settled, which accounts for what is here said, that they had more than one synagogue, in which Barnabas and Saul preached, while other cities had one only.
they had . . . John--Mark.
to their minister--"for their officer". With what fruit they preached here is not said. Probably their feeling was what Paul afterwards expressed at Antioch in Pisidia ( Acts 13:46 ).
6. when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos--on the opposite or west side of the island, about one hundred miles by land, along the south coast; the Roman capital, where the governor resided.
they found a . . . sorcerer--one of a numerous class of impostors who, at this time of general unbelief, were encouraged even by cultivated Romans.
7. Which was with the deputy--properly, "the proconsul." This name was reserved for the governors of settled provinces, which were placed under the Roman Senate, and is never given in the New Testament to Pilate, Felix, or Festus, who were but procurators, or subordinate administrators of unsettled, imperial, military provinces. Now as Augustus reserved Cyprus for himself, its governor would in that case have been not a proconsul, but simply a procurator, had not the emperor afterwards restored it to the Senate, as a Roman historian [DIO CASSIUS] expressly states. In most striking confirmation of this minute accuracy of the sacred historian, coins have actually been found in the island, stamped with the names of proconsuls, both in Greek and Latin [AKERMAN, Numismatic Illustrations of the New Testament]. (GROTIUS and BENGEL, not aware of this, have missed the mark here).
Sergius Paulus, a prudent man--an intelligent man, who thirsting for truth, sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring ("earnestly desiring") to hear the Word of God.
8-12. But Elymas--or "the wise."
for so is his name by interpretation--the word is from the Arabic.
withstood them--perceiving, probably, how eagerly the proconsul was drinking in the word, and fearing a dismissal. (Compare 2 Timothy 3:8 ).
9. Then Saul . . . also . . . called Paul--and henceforward Paul only; a softening of his former name, in accommodation to Roman ears, and (as the word signifies "little") probably with allusion as elsewhere to his insignificance of stature and appearance ( 2 Corinthians 10:1 2 Corinthians 10:10 ) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
filled with the Holy Ghost--the Spirit coming mightily upon him.
set his eyes on him and said--Henceforward Barnabas sinks into the background. The whole soul of his great colleague, now drawn out, as never before, shoots, by the lightning gaze of his eye, through the dark and tortuous spirit of the sorcerer. What a picture!
10. full of all subtlety--referring to his magic arts.
and all malice--The word signifies "readiness for anything," knavish dexterity.
thou child of the devil . . . enemy of all righteousness--These were not words of passion, for immediately before uttering them, it is said he was "filled with the Holy Ghost" [CHRYSOSTOM].
wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord--referring to his having to that hour made a trade of leading his fellow creatures astray.
11. the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind for a season--the judgment being mercifully designed to lead him to repentance. The tradition that it did is hardly to be depended on.
there fell on him a mist, &c.--This is in Luke's medical style.
12. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord--so marvellously attested; compare Mark 1:27 . What fruit, if any, followed this remarkable conversion, or how long after it the missionaries remained at Paphos, we know not.
Acts 13:13-52 . AT PERGA JOHN MARK FORSAKES THEM--AT ANTIOCH IN PISIDIA, PAUL PREACHES WITH GLORIOUS EFFECT--THE JEWS, ENRAGED, EXPEL THEM OUT OF THEM COASTS.
13. they came to Perga in Pamphylia--The distance from Paphos to Attalia, on the Gulf of Pamphylia in a northwest direction, is not much greater than from Seleucia to Salamis on the east. Perga was the metropolis of Pamphylia, on the river Cestrus, and about seven miles inland from Attalia.
and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem--As Paul afterwards peremptorily refused to take Mark with him on his second missionary journey, because he "had departed [or 'fallen off'] from them and had not gone with them to the work" ( Acts 15:38 ), there can be no doubt that he had either wearied of it or been deterred by the prospect of the dangers which lay before him. (But
14. departed from Perga--apparently without making any stay or doing any work: compare the different language of Acts 14:25 , and see immediately below.
came to Antioch in Pisidia--usually so called, to distinguish it from Antioch in Syria, from which they had started, though it actually lies in Phrygia, and almost due north from Perga. It was a long journey, and as it lay almost entirely through rugged mountain passes, while "rivers burst out at the base of huge cliffs, or dash down wildly through narrow ravines," it must have been a perilous one. The whole region was, and to this day is, infested by robbers, as ancient history and modern travels abundantly attest; and there can be but little doubt that to this very journey Paul many years after alludes, when he speaks amidst his "journeyings often," of his "perils of rivers" (as the word is), and his "perils of robbers" ( 2 Corinthians 11:26 ). If this journey were taken in May--and earlier than that the passes would have been blocked up with snow--it would account for their not staying at Perga, whose hot streets are then deserted; "men, women, and children, flocks, herds, camels, and asses, all ascending at the beginning of the hot season from the plains to the cool basin-like hollows on the mountains, moving in the same direction with our missionaries" [HOWSON].
15-17. Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand--as was his manner on such occasions ( Acts 21:40 ; and see Acts 26:1 ).
Men of Israel, and ye that fear God--by the latter expression meaning religious proselytes, who united with the Jews in all acts of ordinary worship.
and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in Egypt--by marvellous interpositions for them in their deepest depression.
18-22. forty years suffered he their manners--rather, according to what appears the true reading, "cherished he them" (as a nurse the infant in her bosom).
20. after that he gave . . . judges . . . about the space of four hundred and fifty years--As this appears to contradict 1 Kings 6:1 , various solutions have been proposed. Taking the words as they stand in the Greek, thus, "after that, by the space of four hundred fifty years, He gave judges," the meaning may be, that about four hundred fifty years elapsed from the time of the covenant with Abraham until the period of the judges; which is historically correct, the word "about" showing that chronological exactness was not aimed at. But taking the sense to be as in our version, that it was the period of the judges itself which lasted about four hundred fifty years, this statement also will appear historically correct, if we include in it the interval of subjection to foreign powers which occurred during the period of the judges, and understand it to describe the whole period from the settlement of the tribes in Canaan to the establishment of royalty. Thus, from the Exodus to the building of the temple were five hundred ninety-two years [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 8.3.1]; deduct forty years in the wilderness; twenty-five years of Joshua's rule [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 5.1.29]; forty years of Saul's reign ( Acts 13:2 ); forty of David's and the first four years of Solomon's reign ( 1 Kings 6:1 ), and there remain, just four hundred forty-three years; or, in round numbers, "about four hundred fifty years."
21. God gave . . . them Saul . . . of the tribe of Benjamin--That the speaker was himself of the same name and of the same tribe, has often been noticed as in all likelihood present to the apostle's mind while speaking.
forty years--With this length of Saul's reign (not mentioned in the Old Testament), JOSEPHUS coincides [Antiquities, 6.14.9].
22. I have found David, &c.--This quotation is the substance of Psalms 89:20 , 1 Samuel 13:14 ; and perhaps also of Psalms 78:70-72 .
23-25. Of this man's seed hath God, according to . . . promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus--The emphasis on this statement lies: (1) in the seed from which Christ sprang--David's--and the promise to that effect, which was thus fulfilled; (2) on the character in which this promised Christ was given of God--"a SAVIOUR." His personal name "JESUS" is emphatically added, as designed to express that very
26-31. children . . . of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God--Gentile proselytes.
to you is the word of this salvation sent--both being regarded as one class, as "the Jew first," to whom the Gospel was to be addressed in the first instance.
27. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, &c.--The apostle here speaks as if the more immediate guilt of Christ's death lay with the rulers and people of the metropolis, to which he fondly hoped that those residing at such a distance as Antioch would not set their seal.
28. found no cause of death--though they sought it ( Matthew 26:59 Matthew 26:60 ).
29. they took him down . . . and laid him in a sepulchre--Though the burial of Christ was an act of honor and love to Him by the disciples to whom the body was committed, yet since His enemies looked after it and obtained a guard of soldiers to keep watch over it as the remains of their own victim, the apostle regards this as the last manifestation on their part of enmity to the Saviour, that they might see how God laughed all their precautions to scorn by "raising Him from the dead."
31. he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, &c.--that is, by those who, having gone out and in with Him in closest intimacy during all His public ministry, which lay chiefly in Galilee, and having accompanied Him on His last journey to Jerusalem, could not possibly be mistaken as to the identity of the risen One, and were therefore unexceptionable and sufficient witnesses.
33. God hath fulfilled the same--"hath completely fulfilled."
in that he hath raised up Jesus again--literally, "raised up"; but the meaning is (notwithstanding the contrary opinion of many excellent interpreters) "from the dead"; as the context plainly shows.
as it is written in the second psalm--in many manuscripts "the first Psalm"; what we call the first being regarded by the ancient Jews as only an introduction to the Psalter, which was considered to begin with the second.
this day have I begotten thee--As the apostle in Romans 1:4 regards the resurrection of Christ merely as the manifestation of a prior Sonship, which he afterwards ( Acts 8:32 ) represents as essential, it is plain that this is his meaning here. (Such declarative meaning of the verb "to be" is familiar to every reader of the Bible). See John 15:8 , "So shall ye be," that is, be seen to be "My disciples." It is against the whole sense of the New Testament to ascribe the origin of Christ's Sonship to His resurrection.
34-37. now no more to return to corruption--that is, to the grave where death reigns; and compare Romans 6:9 , "Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death hath no more dominion over him."
I will give you the sure mercies of David--( Isaiah 55:3 ). The word rendered "mercies" is peculiar, denoting the sanctity of them, as comprehending the whole riches of the new covenant; while the other word, "sure," points to the certainty with which they would, through David's Seed, be at length all substantiated. But how do these words prove the resurrection of Christ? "They presuppose it; for since an eternal kingdom was promised to David, the Ruler of this kingdom could not remain under the power of death. But to strengthen the indefinite prediction by one more definite, the apostle adduces Psalms 16:10 , of which Peter had given the same explanation Acts 2:30 Acts 2:31 ), both apostles denying the possibility of its proper reference to David" [OLSHAUSEN].
36. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God--rather, "served," in his own generation, the will (or "counsel") of God; yielding himself an instrument for the accomplishment of God's high designs, and in this respect being emphatically "the man after God's own heart." This done, he "fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers, and saw corruption." David, therefore (argues the apostle), could not be the subject of his own prediction, which had its proper fulfilment only in the resurrection of the uncorrupted body of the Son of God, emphatically God's "Holy One."
38-41. the forgiveness of sins--the first necessity of the sinner, and so the first experienced blessing of the Gospel.
39. by him all that believe are justified from all things--The sense requires that a pause in the sentence be made here: "By him the believer is absolved from all charges of the law." What follows,
from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses--is not an exceptional but an explanatory clause. The meaning is not, "Though the law justifies from many things, it cannot justify from all things, but Christ makes up all deficiencies"; but the meaning is, "By Christ the believer is justified from all things, whereas the law justifies from nothing." (Note.--The deeper sense of justification, the positive side of it, is reserved for the Epistles, addressed to the justified themselves: and whereas it is the resurrection of Christ here, and throughout the Acts chiefly, which is dwelt on, because the first thing in order to bring peace to the guilty through Christ was to establish His Messiahship by His resurrection, in the Epistles to believers His death as the way of reconciliation is fully unfolded).
40. Beware, therefore, &c.--By this awful warning of the Old Testament the apostle would fain "shut them up unto the faith."
41. ye will not believe though a man declare it unto you--that is, even on unexceptionable testimony. The words, from Habakkuk 1:5 , were originally a merciful but fruitless warning against the approaching destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans and the Babylonish captivity. As such nothing could more fitly describe the more awful calamity impending over the generation which the apostle addressed.
42, 43. And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath--rather (according to what is beyond doubt the true reading), "Now, as they were going out [of the synagogue], they besought"--that is, not the Gentiles, whose case comes in afterwards, but the mixed congregation of Jews and proselytes, to whom the discourse had been addressed, entreated to have another hearing of such truths; those of them, that is, who had been impressed. "And after the breaking up of the synagogue, many of" both classes, Jews and religious; proselytes, followed Paul and Barnabas (observe, from this time forward, the inverted order of these names; except Acts 14:14 , 13:7 , 12:25 ; what they had heard, and felt a clinging to their spiritual benefactors.
43. who, speaking to them--following up the discourse in the synagogue by some further words of encouragement.
persuaded them to continue in the grace of God--which they had experienced through the Gospel. (Compare Acts 11:23 ).
44-48. the next sabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God--the intervening days having been spent in further inquiry and instruction, and the excitement reaching the Gentiles, who now for the first time crowded, along with the usual worshippers, into the synagogue.
45. But when the Jews--those zealots of exclusive Judaism.
saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy--rather, "indignation," and broke out in their usual manner.
contradicting and blaspheming--There is nothing more awful than Jewish fury and execration of the name of Jesus of Nazareth, when thoroughly roused.
46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, &c.--This is in the highest style of a last and solemn protestation.
It was necessary that the word should first have been spoken to you--See the direction of Christ in Luke 24:47 ; also Romans 1:16 .
since ye judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life--pass sentence upon yourselves.
47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, &c.--These and other predictions must have been long before this brought vividly home to Paul's mind in connection with his special vocation to the Gentiles.
I have set thee--that is, Messiah; from which Paul inferred that he was but following out this destination of his Lord, in transferring to the Gentiles those "unsearchable riches" which were now by the Jews rejected and despised.
48. when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad--to perceive that their accession to Christ was a matter of divine arrangement as well as apostolic effort.
and glorified the word of the Lord--by a cordial reception of it.
and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed--a very remarkable statement, which cannot, without force, be interpreted of anything lower than this, that a divine ordination to eternal life is the cause, not the effect, of any man's believing.
49-52. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region--implying some stay in Antioch and missionary activity in its vicinity.
50. the devout and honourable women--female proselytes of distinction, jaundiced against the new preachers by those Jewish ecclesiastics to whom they had learned to look up. The potent influence of the female character both for and against the truth is seen in every age of the Church's history.
expelled them--an easier thing than to refute them.
51. shook off the dust of their feet against them--as directed ( Matthew 10:14 ).
came unto Iconium--a populous city about forty-five miles southeast from Pisidian Antioch: at the foot of Mount Taurus; on the borders of Lycaonia, Phrygia, and Pisidia; and in later times largely contributing to the consolidation of the Turkish empire.
52. the disciples--who, though not themselves expelled, had to endure sufferings for the Gospel, as we learn from Acts 14:22 .
were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost--who not only raised them above shame and fear, as professed disciples of the Lord Jesus, but filled them with holy and elevated emotions.

In the old days, it was hard to hide a camera. What's more, the boxy 35 mm SLR cameras that were common back in the 1980s needed an attention-grabbing flash to take a decent picture in a fresh produce department.
But the produce nerd would find himself on the road and come upon a gem of a wet rack display and want to snap a few pictures.
Or an aspiring produce journalist would want to add a few retail shots of the snappy and colorful produce department at the hot new supermarket on his latest road trip.
Unless the trip was prearranged and management had already given the OK for a photo shoot, it is unlikely that a sudden impulse to take a picture in the produce department could be satisfied.
Sure, you could always "ask for permission" to take a photo, but that kind of request, no matter how sincerely articulated ("I just love what you have done with your apple display! You guys are awesome!"), was kicked up the chain of command to the store manager and perhaps even to corporate.
Needless to say, such requests always ended with a polite "No."
This universal paranoia about photographs inside the produce department/supermarket is not unique to the U.S.
When I visited Russia several years ago we visited an upscale supermarket in Moscow where two Secret Service-style security guards in suits, fitted with earpieces and lapel mikes, were watching our wide-eyed tour group with sobering intensity.
One false move and I could imagine being interrogated in a soundproof room with a single, swaying, light bulb hanging overhead.
What are the reasons for supermarket skittishness about pictures of the produce department?
It is not exactly top secret stuff, since thousands of consumers come through the store every week, checking prices and inspecting quality.
Supermarkets aren't exactly protecting trade secrets in how they create displays and plan layouts for the produce department.
The seasoned produce veteran can take in a lot of detail with his trained eye in a cursory glance.
Another possible reason for the presumptive "no" to photos is the fear that photos may expose the seamy underbelly of ransacked, out-of-stock produce displays.
Produce managers don't want to immortalized in a less-than-flattering moment.
I can also understand that retailers don't want competitors coming into their stores and creating a distraction, or perhaps invading the privacy of customers by taking photos.
So there needs to be a concession to the fact that such prohibitions on photography within the supermarket are not without reasonable cause.

Mostra Nuova contains many alternate characters, representing commonly-found variations in Italian Art Deco lettering. They can be used in endless combinations to capture a particular mood or style. There are six weights ranging from the almost invisible Thin to the ridiculously bold Black. Mostra features an extended character set (most Western and Eastern European Latin-based languages supported) and kerning tables for display setting. More…

Things To Know
Fox species include the gray fox, red fox, arctic fox, kit fox and fennec fox. The red fox is the most common. There are 21 species of fox. The fox is the smallest member of the dog family. They have a lifespan of 2 to 5 years but some have lived to be 14 years old in captivity.
The fox also has many similarities to a cat. They have vertical slit eyes and partially retractable claws. Foxes are excellent tree climbers, and they mark their territory by the scent of urine. They also hunt like a cat. They stalk their prey just like cats. They often play with their prey before they kill it. Foxes hunt mainly at night because they are nocturnal animals.
Foxes live all over North America. They adapt very easily and can manage in a dense forest or a suburban neighborhood. They make their home under sheds, in the hollow of trees, in ground burrows, and in wood piles.
Most foxes are about the size of a large house cat. Foxes can range in height from 35 to 45 inches and weigh approximately 15 pounds.
Foxes are carnivores,which means they eat meat. Their diet includes rodents, rabbits, insects and small birds. If they live near a farm, they will raid the hen house and steal the chickens. They will also eat vegetation.
Foxes breed between December and February. In the spring, the female may produce a litter of 4 to 5 ki
ts. The kits have no fur and are blind. The mother has her litter in a den. She does not leave the den for the first two weeks after the cubs are born. The female nurses her kits. When the kits are about 4 weeks old they begin to venture out of the den. They will leave their mother sometime between 6 and 12 months of age. A fox can mate when they reach 10 months of age.
The fox does not live in a pack. It lives and hunts alone. When a group of foxes are together it is called a "skulk."
A fox's hearing is so sharp they can hear a watch ticking 40 yards away. They can also hear something moving underground. They also use a variety to sounds to communicate.
The kit fox, or swift fox, can run up to 23 mph for short distances.
Coyotes, wolves, eagles and the lynx are all natural enemies of the fox.

Used in Nepal for thousands of years, felt has traditionally been used to make tents, rugs and apparel. Felt is crafted out of wool fibers that are matted with soap and water and then pressed, giving it its strength and soft texture. Whether it's for home décor, apparel, or accessories, felt is a workable fabric that can be brightly dyed and transformed into an array of unique patterns.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the art of felt has evolved with the global market's changing taste, remaining in tune with trending styles. The art of felt has been passed down for generations and today it is a major industry in Nepal. Handcrafted by local artisans in Nepal, sales of our felt pieces, including our messenger bags and decorative accessories, support the artisans and their art of felting. We're certain that you'll love wearing and displaying the bold fabrics and modern cuts of our Nepalese felt pieces.
Bulky items such as furniture and rugs cost more to ship due to greater size and weight. Therefore, a delivery surcharge will be billed in addition to the standard shipping charge.
Surcharge amounts vary. The surcharge amount is noted on each product detail page.

Back to Brownsville | Chronicling a soccer team, and a sister city, skilled at border crossing
A 1910 map, by Norris Peters Co., indicating the border between Brownsville and Matamoros, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. (Library of Congress Geography and Map Division, Washington, D.C.)
Appreciation for the storytelling gifts of Oscar Casares grows on hearing that his narrative of Gladys Porter High School winning the state 5A high school soccer championship in 2006 derives fully from reconstruction. Casares could not attend the championship match outside Austin, thus could not experience directly the racist taunting directed toward the Brownsville, Texas, side—labeled "Brownville" on a placard depicting the team as cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzales. Showing reserves of class and courage, Porter scored twice in extra time in the '06 title match to defeat nationally ranked Coppell from North Texas (see Apr 13).
The account by Casares in Texas Monthly (Nov 06) has been chosen for The Best American Sports Writing 2007 (Houghton Mifflin), the annual collection published each fall. In an interview on Apr 20—included in full in our first podcast (see below)—Casares characterizes the Rio Grande region from which the Porter Cowboys hail as isolated geographically and culturally from the rest of America, yet still nurtured by easy symbiosis with brethren across the river and by a majority Latino population proud of a distinctive heritage:
South Texas itself, if you look at a map of Texas, just south of San Antonio and Corpus [Christi] is the King Ranch. It was at one point the largest ranch in the country if not the world, I think. It was four-fifths the size of Rhode Island when it was all one ranch. To drive through the King Ranch will take you roughly about an hour. It's brushland, scrubland. There's really very little out there.
This forms a natural boundary between South Texas and everything to the north. To the southwest we have the Rio Grande and then to the east we have the Gulf of Mexico. And so the region itself is kind of isolated in a very significant way. It means that, growing up there, you grew up in a certain isolation and I think to a certain degree a certain innocence. I know I certainly did, not ever imagining necessarily a sense of otherness. … You don't have that sense that you're on the outside.
Kids grow up there with a very strong sense of who they are and of their culture, without necessarily having to defend it in any way or feel self-conscious about it. It just is who they are. … [The Porter High School players] had such a strong sense of self and what they wanted to do. Their coach, [Luis] Zarate, did a great job of centering them. In speaking to the coach and to the players, it was obvious that they had been affected by the comments, but it wasn't to the point of being devastating. It was something that distracted them certainly, but they managed to focus and get back into the game.
Casares, in the interview, links the provocative remarks and signs of the Coppell supporters—tournament organizers forced removal of the racist messages—to tensions in Texas and the United States over immigration reform and fears of a growing Latino presence. One wonders if, within an American soccer culture that has not fostered long-standing ties by ethnicity and origin to professional clubs, these emotions are expressed at the grassroots, such as in the youth game, where regional political grievances can find an outlet.
In our minds we associate the Porter-Coppell 5A final of 2006 with an incident outside Charlotte, North Carolina, last November. Before a soccer game between Forestview High School of Gastonia and Charlotte Catholic, Forestview students broadcast a 90-second snippet of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. The Charlotte Catholic coach, who is black, also accused Forestview players of shouting racial epithets during the game, although these latter charges were not upheld.
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association suspended a Forestview assistant coach and goalkeeper and placed the soccer team on a one-year probation. "This has changed lives," Forestview coach David Shearer told the Charlotte Observer afterward (Kevin Cary, "District Suspends 2 Over Nazi Speech," 9 Nov 06). "After tonight … I don't think anything will be normal."
Small-town soccer in this case again helps illuminate hidden histories. The unthinking provocation of the Goebbels broadcast contrasts sharply with Gastonia's background as a hotbed of labor organizing—it was the site of the Loray Mill strike in 1929—and as a setting for the progressive feminist works of authors such as Grace Lumpkin and Myra Page. Gathering Storm, Page's first novel, centered on the Communist-led strike at Loray Mill, events and memories long suppressed in this predominantly conservative region. Interviewed by Tina Baker, collaborator on In a Generous Spirit: A First-Person Biography of Myra Page (University of Illinois, 1996), Page in the late 1980s, then living in a retirement home, nevertheless felt guardedly optimistic:
For us, there's still a leftover fear of what people will think. We felt so isolated during the McCarthy probes, and before that with the Ku Klux Klan. I hope that it will never be like that again; I don't believe it will. I think the American people learned something. … Now we accept that we have something people want to hear. (quoted by Suzanne Sowinska, The Women's Review of Books, 1 Mar 97)

Multichannel solutions – Banks
Nowadays, customers want to decide themselves what channel they use to communicate with their bank. And although the branch is the number 1 point of contact, they want a choice that matches their lifestyle, interests and affinity.
Today's bank customers use financial services in a variety of different ways. When alternating between the self-service zone, their home PC and the front office, they expect consistently good quality and a uniform appearance. For a successful dialog with the customer, all delivery channels must be interlinked, and it is necessary to ensure uniform processes and a homogeneous look and feel. But how can functions be used in a process-oriented way across delivery channels? What banks need is a consistent multichannel strategy.
The various delivery, service and communications channels are the branch (in particular the front office and consulting zones), the Internet, the call center, mobile devices (such as the mobile phone, iPad, etc.) and, of course, the self-service zone.

{???} wrote:Skips wrote:impossible, and that's a word we don't like around here.
An idea: doing default green/brown/bue, which I'm guessing is impossible. Bue is definitely impossible because the ball can't collide with anything, so you can't abuse physics. The rest are almost definitely impossible because the abuse of physics to create a pult will not work because the pult will be too weak and by the time the pult works it will be too far down (almost certainly off the map). Pins are the only way to win with a green/brown contraption, and they are not allowed. Therefore, by basic logic, it is impossible.

These two are "cheating". The first one is 4 pieces and two of them are connected... The second one is 5 pieces and two of them is connected. In both of these the top brown piece is two browns stacked on top of each other.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim label in 2005 helped redefine "contemporary". Now the California–bred, New York–based designer is building a global business on
his brand of cool, sporty chic.
The 3.1 Phillip Lim label in 2005 helped redefine "contemporary". Now the California–bred, New York–based designer is building a global business on his brand of cool, sporty chic.
KEN DOWNING: Phillip, it's always fun to see you, talk about the show, and hear what you're thinking about. I'm obsessed with the Spring collection. What I love that you do season after season, it's not like a fashion show, it's like watching the coolest girls on the street parading by. How do you manage to get that immediacy, that relevancy, that cool factor, into every look?
PHILLIP LIM: Thank you. When I look at the clothes, when we do the styling, even when we conceptualize shows, it's almost like asking Is this real?
It doesn't have to be everyday real; it could be an aspirational real. But you have to keep in touch with what's happening–keep
your feet on the ground and your dreams in the air,
so to speak.
KD: Early in your career you actually styled all the shows yourself. Do you work with a stylist now?
PL: Yeah, her name is Nancy Rohde. You know, it's like having kids–letting your kid go to someone else is never easy, then surely but slowly, you just start to trust that it's fine to let the kids go. And now it's actually become more enjoyable in that process of really having a dialogue instead of being so isolated.
KD: But you don't just hand the clothes over and say have your way. You must have your fingers in every aspect.
PL: I'm a Virgo. I'm a Virgo.
KD: I'm a Virgo, too. That's why we get along so well, because we're these obsessive–compulsive creatures who are always looking for perfection and the ultimate beauty, whatever that happens to mean in the world of fashion. But I feel you in each of those models as they're walking down the runway, and how the clothes are put together.
PL: It's like being a guardian, you know what I mean? These girls–I hand pick them, cast them, fit them. I'm there. Even to the end when they need a shoulder to lean on when they're putting on a high heel, I'm there. It's really important for me to be involved in every single step because it's my life. It's my dream that is coming true. If you're not present in your own dream, then where are you?
KD: Then you just become a voyeur on the outside looking in.
PL: Yeah. I like that, too, though!
KD: At the very beginning, you were known for the idea of a flirty dress. You brought a lot of embellishment and special details to clothes at a price no one was doing at that time. You actually invented an entirely new realm of fashion. Now as you've grown, the collection has taken on new ideas. The dress is still important, but you are loving a pant, which gave the Spring collection a kind of tomboy attitude, a little bit of a rocker sensibility.
PL: For me, it's about a little bit more structure, but a soft structure. I've always been keen on shaping silhouettes and that tailoring side. But at the same time, it's what you're in the mood for, what you're feeling outside and what you think girls are feeling. You've got to trust your instincts...
KD: Well you always have really good instincts! You certainly were playing with color for Spring–with white, as many designers were, but you also had amazing pinks, those fantastic minty aqua greens, and then that gorgeous cobalt blue that came through in embroidery that almost looked like a sliced geode. Were you collecting rocks? What was the inspiration for that?
PL: It's funny because inspiration... you never know how it transpires. Though thinking back on it, it's probably just an accumulation of moments over the past year, the past six months. I recently acquired a little vacation house, and I've been kayaking and paddleboarding. When you're out there, you see the sky colors. You see the formations of salt dunes. You see nature at its best, unfiltered, untouched. So somehow that beauty must be seeping into my bloodstream, and the show is like an exorcism of just having to get that out.
KD: Of course, you always have great leather pieces. You were one of the first designers to put a fringe jacket on the runway, and you put forth the idea of grunge before anyone was even talking about it. A year later, rocker chic and grunge influences were throughout the industry.
PL: Yeah, I love a good rock 'n' roll attitude. But to me, grunge and rock 'n' roll and that spirit is not about rebellion, it's about standing for something. It's about a point of view. You know what I mean? The challenge was how to make grunge aspirational, yet attainable.
KD: And a little glamorous, too. The interesting thing about grunge, it wasn't about looking dirty and grungy. It was glam grunge.
PL: Yeah, the characters that are synonymous with grunge, they're glam people. They love a little bling, you know? They love a little, like, sass. It's funny because we're all taught to do as we're told. But what life and my experiences are teaching me more and more is: Do as you believe, not as you're told.
KD: Instincts are super important. You have an ability to know what a girl is going to want before she even realizes she wants it herself, what's cool before that cool moment even hits.
PL: I call myself a jaywalker. Not like I want to break rules or break laws. I've just always loved the idea of being present, but being across the street just looking in. That outsider–looking–in point of view. When you remove yourself, just across the street, you actually see, Aha, this is how I should do it! And this is how I shouldn't do it.
KD: Do you think that your early career in Los Angeles...
PL: You're going way back.
KD: Yeah, but there's a real effortlessness to your designs, and I often feel a little whiff of Southern California come through even though you're now a New York designer.
PL: No matter where I live, no matter what it says on the business card or the front door, I'm a California boy. My motto is "Don't sweat it, just let it." It's nice to be able to just not sweat it sometimes, you know?
KD: There's not much that you haven't taken on. An amazing women's collection, menswear, shoes that are absolutely adorable, a handbag that every girl wants dangling from her fingertips. What's next in the massive world of Phillip Lim?
PL: Maybe it's paddleboarding gear.
KD: I love that idea. A Phillip Lim kayak could be super chic. You like that little bit of a sporty attitude.
PL: I do, because I think that's modern life. A little bit of practicality, a little bit of speed enhances things. Wearing technical gear to paddleboard, you start to understand why a windbreaker is made a certain way. And it's like, hey, why not have that enhancement that also looks amazing? I've always had that kind of sporty or athletic vibe running through the collection because it goes back to California and that whole laid–back attitude of just not sweating it, you know?
KD: I have a feeling you're the chicest paddleboarder/kayaker on the water. It's just amazing to be around your energy, and I hope that your home on the water continues to not only inspire you in your soul, but to inspire great collections, season after season.
PL: Thank you so much.

- Starting with notebooks provided to the incoming Class of 2006, these printer drivers and Uniprint software are already installed. However, new versions of the Uniprint software are now available for use with the new printers in the PC lab.
- For installation instructions on this new software, see the MFP printers page. There are different instructions for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Students of the class of 2010 and previous will need to uninstall the old version of Uniprint before the new drivers can be installed. Please follow the instructions on the Windows XP MFP Installation page very closely.
Where can I print to?

From what locations can I print and how do I print?

- To submit your printout to the UniPrint system, open your document.
- Choose File, then Print.
- Choose the name of the printer you want to print to. Both print in color automatically. To print in black and white, see the pricing and print options page.
- For the library, choose: Library MFP Spool Queue
- For the PC Lab, choose: CC MFP SQ on ITSRV 106
- For the Howe Center, choose: HP6040 MFP SQA on ITSRV106
- Once you finish choosing the printer and click OK, a window will pop up and ask for your username and password.
- Please enter your Pipeline username.
- However, the password DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME AS YOUR PIPELINE PASSWORD. Please pick a password that you will remember.
- We suggest that you NOT use your Pipeline password for security reasons.
How and where do I pick up my printouts?
You need a valid Stevens Identification Card (Campus Card) with money deposited into your Stevens Debit Account. (See below on how to add money to your Campus Card.) Bring your Stevens Identification Card to the Computer Center's PC lab (located in the lower level of the Library). Go to the printers and hit the "Print Release" button, then swipe your card when prompted. A screen will show a list of all print jobs that are waiting to be processes, listed by the owner's name. (The owner names should be Pipeline usernames). You may access your printout from either of the printers in the PC lab.
- Find your job, select it, and hit the password box. Enter your password you used to submit your print job on the QWERTY keyboard that appears and hi OK. Then hit the Print button.
- Your printout will print from the printer you selected it and removed from the print queue on both printers. Pick up your pint out. Make sure you logout from the printer. To do this, hit the button in the top left corner that looks like a house, then hit the Sign Out button.
How much does it cost?
It costs $0.04 per black and white page and $0.40 for a color page.
- If you print duplex then you will save $0.01 per black and white page and $0.02 per color page.
How am I going to deposit money into my account?
The Online Card Office can be visited at http://www.stevens.edu/olco. This site uses your Pipeline Credentials.
Deposit your money
- You can choose the option for checking your account balance, transaction history, deposit funds, or change my account information. Once you submit it, a window will show the credit card holder information and add the amount of money you want for transaction. Please remember that the online system only accepts Visa and MasterCard.
- If you do not have a credit card, an alternative way to add value to your card is through the Value Transfer Station (VTS). The VTS is located in the Library on the first floor next to the Library's two copiers. The VTS machine accepts cash only. Funds may also be deposited into your Stevens Debit Account by a third party without you providing them with your password. All they need to know is your Stevens Campus Identification number and full name. This is useful if you would like to have your parents deposit funds. Anyone with access to the Internet can go to http://www.stevens.edu/olco and follow the Stevens Debit Non-Cardholder Instructions and links.
How to check my account balance
You can check your balance through the VTS or online at https://www.stevens.edu/olco after you login with valid Pipeline Credentials.

Assuming the issue gets resolved, the Monterey Peninsula district will start the coming school year with six salad bars and have them installed in all 11 elementary schools throughout the year, he said. Secondary schools, which are undergoing lunchroom redesigns, will have salad bars the following year.
Margaret D'Arrigo-Martin, vice president of community development at Taylor Farms, welcomes the prospect of a resolution. She has raised funds for salad bars through the Grower-Shipper Association Foundation, Salinas, Calif.
"The superintendent and the nutrition director are extremely confident the salad bars will be reinstated," she said. "(The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District) has made a commitment and they're actually going to expand the program."
The clash, D'Arrigo-Martin said, put salad bars in the spotlight.
"It proved that salad bars are important to the schools," she said. "The kids were upset, the parents were upset. They want them."
"They are wildly successful," Albert said. "The kids like them a lot."

This Alex Jones documentary outlines the United States' descent into tyranny, exposing the Project for a New American Century members Richard Bruce Cheney and others who co-authored or co-sponsored their blueprint for world domination entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses."
This documentary also contains some of the most telling footage of the bombing of Oklahoma City's Murrah Federal Building, Jones' interviews of eyewitnesses, and explosives expert Brigadier General Benton K. Partin's (USAF - Ret.) testimony contradicting the government's story.
Viewers of "9/11: the Road to Tyranny" should also see "Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State," and get the DVD or VHS HERE.

No hard facts
Alex Jones knows how to rant on the radio. I've heard him several times. His facts to back up his theories are weak, misleading, and exaggerated.
Did anyone see the documentary that was done on Frontline a long time ago, explaining how the Towers at the World Trade center could fall? The elevators and main beams were encased in plaster which caught fire, for one thing, There's more on the Frontline special which can be accessed at the site of Frontline.
Instead of focusing on a conspiracy, how about a prayer for the country instead? How about finding something positive in the world and getting behind something that can help the world in a new way.
Filling our head with half truths that aren't substantiated by fact takes away from what we could be doing in the present.

Road To Tyranny - A great primer for newbies
This film so ahead of its time, no wonder no one believed it when it first came out. Some of the stuff is only just now being rolled out.
Catch this film along with War By Deception and you'll pretty much get the full story on state sponsored terrorism and government corruption.
Arthur-Haglund-for-president-in-2008 -
some from column A and some from Column B
I fully agree that the "attacks" of 9/11/01 were contrived and engineered by giga-wealthy and powerful people in the US Government.
I do not buy into anti-semetic "jews run and ruin the world" thinking.
As a Christian, I cannot!
I know that Arthur Haglund, as President, would restore the true constitution of the USA to its rightful place and that he would bring forth justice, by means of the execution of ALL those that participated in 9/11!
Beyond that, he has excellent plans to quickly stop the use of American armed forces as the world's police and bully patrol. He promisses to rip the lid off of ALL of the government's dirty little secrets, expose ALL of the congress's 435 member's criminal doings!
Area 51 to 9/11!
Arthur A Haglund will bring about the end of HOMELAND SECURITY, and ALL of the repealed and stolen freedoms that our government ripped from our lives.
Arthur A Haglund in '08
Vote for independants and Independence in '08!!!

I know of a book that backs up Alex Jone's Theories
The best book I ever read: Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robison, A.M. 1798. It was first written in 1798 then recopywritten in 1967. Here is a quote from the introduction of this book. Quote: "Jacobin ideas and influences had already been noted with alarm in the New World and it was known that the Illuminati had established some lodges in the United States. That the Illuminati would attempt to gain control of the press and publishing industry in this country goes without saying. It was, after all, the hallmark of their method." end quote
It may be rare, but it sure is interesting!

In response to Jefri
What you say hasn't been the case. Muslims kill innocent people every day. Case in point. 9/11 . How many combatants were on the airplanes that crashed into the buildings? How many Sudanese people in the south (non-Muslims) have perished from the Muslims in the north? I can continue. Give me an example please of when the Muslim religion says to allow those that don't believe to live in peace.

Islam denounces killing of inoccent people, people killing themselves and killings of a non-Muslim in a Muslim country.

To you two, down there...
Google Carroll Quigley.
read his book.
If you want to know how demonic the idea population reduction has become, just ask any environmentalist.
They will be the first to say, that the world is overpopulated and that we HAVE to reduce, by whatever means necessary. The environmental community was created by a globalist, Julian Huxley, who founded UNESCO and WWF. He was a staunch believer in Eugenics, and started these groups, along with other globalists like Prince Philip, to grab land for the elite, and cull populations.
Watch Alex's other film, America:Destroyed by Design. It covers all of this, and how Clinton gave up ALL of the US's national parks in the name of debt repayment to the UN and World Bank.
If you'd look it up, you'd find it.

This film is bullshit
Yes - the world outside is bad. And yes the american administration and lot of the upper 10.000 have done much bullshit to the world and america.
But hey there is not something like an New World Order. There is lots of chaos and struggling for power,but its more like the big red storm at Jupiter. Its big, its feeding it self, but the other storms are not deliberately feeding it.
This moderator guy is the same kind of propaganda boy like Josef Goebbels for Nazi Germany.
And guess what. He makes money out of it! This hole conspiracy shit, is an big industry. Sell books - sell DVDÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂôs. Its money money money thats what he want. Its his personal american dream and he is living it.
Anyway the current american administration sucks. But that dosent mean the want to put a microchip up your anus!

What are the "Life Extension Drugs" Jones Mentions?
I've seen his video, "911, The Road to Tyranny" about four times now, and have not been able to determine what he's talking about when he claims that the UN wants an 80% die-off of the World's population so that the remainder can have the life extension drugs all to themselves. WTF! This claim and the one about Greenpeace severely detract from Mr. Jones's credibility. He really needs to put out a list of references that back up his claims..point-by-point.

Alex is right on. Here is something that goes a little further...
Friends who like to know the truth of matters,
I am from Austin Texas. I have worked alongside
Alex in studios. In fact, the night he finished
editting this film at the Austin Access studio,
I was there to commend him.
Anyhow, there is some information to this that goes beyond what Alex is willing to report right now. See for youself, and please share out with your friends once you discover what this unique book presents:

Don't Dismiss Jones Too Quickly
Jones "over the top" style is dramatic, passionate and a bit of a stretch to believe at first if you haven't seen him before. But that is also why he gets into areas and ask questions where no one else has before as well too.
Some of the accusations, conclusions may not be supported - as yet, but underneath that is the TRUTH and that's what he is exposing. That is what ultimatley everyone in this country is making a decision on daily through everyday activities and political choices.
Another documentry worthwhile will be coming out on commercial DVD, produced by BBC called the "Power of Nightmares" reguarding terrorism and the history of the neo-con philosphy. This is factual, dispassionate reporting with no innuendos, no implication of influencing your opinion.
But it will.

i'm sorry, but [insert hyperbole], this is the [negative hyperbole] movie i've ever seen!!! OMG OMG, have you ever [ask a rhetorical question]? Alex Jones is such a [deragatory comment]!!!!
I don't have the time for such [insult].
All joking aside, Alex Jones delivers a tour de force as usual.
Ever wonder why there is nothing interesting on the news? Why everybody is talking about Micheal Jackson, or Laci Peterson or otehr mindlessness? Is it because that's the only thing happening?? Has it been a slow news day for the past decade??
The answer is, of course, that the few media conglomerations are omitting information that would change your perspective.
In conclusion, Alex Jones illuminates horrifying reality as usual.
Black Krishna -
Questions need answers, don't they?
I think that's Alex Jones ideal function: he's the best at asking questions that - if answered, could either make him look like a moron, or make the world a much better place.
I don't think I have to believe in what anyone says 100%, heck "religious" people bend the rules when they want so this binary "believer/non-believer" in "conspiracy theory" b.s. doesn't work on me.
I say let him ask away, and qualitatively, his evidence and analysis are exceptional; his conclusions are insane.
Makes no sense?
I love the dark side of history he brings to it, and the idea that what he's saying is "not" possible is also really strange considering what we most of us know about crimes of the 20th century. The idea that he's even half right is scary, but I guess so is being unsure. He goes on about "New World Order" a bit more than he can justify here, but he does put a lot of pieces of some sort of puzzle in front of us, and that's enough to suggest we should finish it.
The Oklahoma stuff really got me, as his use of a bunch of "mainstream sources" paradoxically built up an incredible cover-up story. While the 9/11 stuff is great, we can see the corporatization of the media shrank the number of sources he counts on to goof up and say something that contradicts the official story. This also includes his latest take on "7/7", or The London Bombings - which I recommend checking for balance since everyone else seems to be racing for conclusions and solutions. The "alternative/indie/liberal" media is now both much more popular and much more clearly marginalized and discredited by the mainstream, which makes all this stuff more important than ever.
Remeber Fahrenheit 9/11?
I like some of his stuff, and even as just entertainment this is fast-paced and a hell of a ride. In fact, I bet if more people in the world watched it we'd ask more good questions that would make the world better - props to the nearly 10,000 who have downloaded it so far.
A stretch?
This ain't a "Left/Conspiracy" position, it's just a logical democractic one: "Hey Right/Government, why don't YOU tell us why this guy is wrong or crazy so we can chill out?"
Some lighter fare that stuck in my head includes:
Jon Stewart on the Presidential Election, the Media, and Politics
Some darker fare that stuck in my head includes:
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh spills the secrets of the Iraq quagmire and the war on terror
They prove the media's full of crap and the government is full of crap, and combined with 911: the Road to Tyranny and lots of other stuff it adds up to something...
Peace, (NOW!!!)

Our Last Wake up call
I loved the documentary as with all of Alex's work. It was informative and engaging to say the least. A real eye opener!!!!
Reading through the reviews I noticed there were a few who did not appreciate Mr. Jones point blank style. I feel it is important to point out that in order to wake someone up it is important to grab their attention any way you can be it shouting, dramatics or any other means necessary.
The only analogy I can describe is if I saw anyone in the middle of the street and they were totally unaware that a bus was speeding toward them, I would do anything to save them from certain disaster. It's just that simple.
I believe that most people on this planet are walking around in a deep sleep. We have been mind-numbed by corporations and the news media.
This is our last wake up call.
P.S. Does anyone know the title of the song on this page. I really like it.......White Raven

We have got to PUT AN END to the deceptions and bold-faced lies our mainstream media and government tries to sell to us. I am fed up with FREE AMERICANS always rationalizing everything and not believeing anything if its not on your local Fox news network! We have GOT TO WAKE UP THE NATION to the Illuminati-controlled globalist agenda for a police state controlled NEW WORLD ORDER! Read between the lines folks and you will soon realize the true motives and reasons behind the fact that September 11th WAS AN INSIDE JOB TO SCARE THE POPULATION INTO SUBMISSION TO ACCEPTING GLOBAL TYRANNY AND A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF ATTACKS ON OUR GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS AND BILL OF RIGHTS!

Befor I watched 911 road to tyranny with my best friend and her boyfriend Kevin (her boyfriend)told me about how fucked up the goverment really was I never really understood but once I watched this tape it made me feel like as if The goverment is lieing to us HOW ARE WE FREE.
I then copyed the tape for my parents and they did not want to watch it sooner or later they did and saw how right alex jones was after looking into everything he had said the chip the id cards the training over in iraq to get us ready for the NEW WORLD ORDER! Alex Jones ur great..........

Catch you upto speed quick
I found the Oklahoma City bombing segment the real meat in this documentary. Alex Jones has collected a ton of news footage which directly conflicts with the story we've been lead to believe about a lone nut McVeigh and a car fertilizer bomb. Even if you are skeptical of his claims they should be viewed, there are many fascists alive today, and they may very well be in the final stages of planning the grand daddy of all totalitarian schemes, a world government "New World Order"
But make up your own mind

Sick of Slick
If you want slick, go to Hollywood or Madison Ave. Alex Jones ain't your boy.
Best analysis extant, no kowtowing and pandering to mainstream sensibilities, vested interests, or the lucrative politics/business of terror-mongering. The mainstream is growing up in large part due to this fearless maverick's efforts.
Best Oklahoma City bombing footage available anywhere.
Jones comes out of left field in the introduction, then proceeds to develop every scrap of it in the film.

Dare I say life changing?
First of all.... WOW.
A week ago I thought that I was up to date with the American 'situation'. I read a lot, not only the 'official' news, but a lot of alternative news as well. This documentary showed me how wrong I was. Many will not agree with all of the ideas presented in this documentary, but it is definatley food for thought. My reccomendation: Download it now, and see for yourself.
bostonfred -
all over the place
very long - un focused. He mentions 'Illuminati' but doesn't define them. He goes for reaching conclusions without solid support. I'm very aware of many concerns expressed in this film but the delivery comes across like a paranoid mother in law. If he could focus and write more solidly it'd be a much better product. While I agree that central control is the goal of many he fails to convey why that is a bad thing. There's 2 schools - one that wants total liberty - no government - and another that wants order and control. Without control we have no laws and anarchy exists meaning no benefits like patents and copyright leading to inventions like air conditioning and exlax. But with control it's far too possible to enter a slave/master condition. American, as it is, represent and is a balance.

challenging and entertainment video
This long (2 hour ) video is still waiting a full review. The previous reviews either praise or condemn without giving details to support their opinions. Whether you agree or not this video can be used to exercise the mind.

What a nutter!
Alex Jones film is one of the worst films I have ever had the misfortune to see. It's not as if I am some pro-government capitalist consumer but his arguments and evidence are nonsense and he is so hung up on conspiracy that I would guess he is working FOR the CIA so as to discredit sensible critiques of the US administration. Don't waste your time downloading or watching his films. Pure bullshit... I ask you, Greenpeace is head of the global elite?!!! yeah right.

Any view opposing the mainstream is always welcome...
...and I think many of these things are true, but he points at the big government (something we might have control over) and never the private power that's driving it (something we have less control over)- but I suppose that doesn't fit in with his American Libertarian philosophy. He talks about the UN takeover but the US has never succumbed to the UN when it's interests are at stake. The poisoning of the environment to the prison industrial complex can all be traced back to private interests as well as current American imperialism. There are a lot of holes here but also important questions raised. The threat to American Civil Liberties is REAL- and worth getting excited about.

I'm sorry, but I don't know who is worse...the American government or this guy. I'm just glad we don't have the whole 'my right to own a high powered semiautomatic rifle is my most important personal freedom' attitude here in Australia. The 'facts' were clearly obscured - for example - his use of multiple seismic spikes as evidence for more than one bomb in Oklahoma city proves nothing. All earthquakes have signature S and P waves, which travel at different speeds and would thus appear as separated spikes.
The scene with the lady being interrogated by the cops on the roadside was great, but this whacko is no better than the rest of the right wing psychos.
Interesting to see how a society can become so horribly off the rails. "Bad things happen because good people allow them to."

If you can get past the introduction, this is the documentary to see. Just the footage from oaklahoma city is unbelievable, let alone everything else covered. Stunning!
