“To all who have discerning eyes, it is apparent that the republican form of government established by our noble forefathers cannot long endure once robbed of the virtue of its citizens. We must never forget that the Constitution of the United States was not saved in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It is not going to be saved in Washington, ultimately, in Washington, D.C. It will be saved, if it is saved at all, in the stakes of Zion throughout this land—by the righteous citizens of this nation who love liberty and are willing to serve.” -- Ezra Taft Benson, The Constitution: A Heavenly Banner (Deseret Book, 1986, p. 29–30)
@lisamurkowski@SenatorCollins It doesn't matter how many times you vote if you are voting for tyranny or if you're voting with Democrats. That you would vote against the SAVE America Act is a total disgrace.
The Old Testament was always pointing towards Christ.
Here are six key Messianic prophecies from the Book of Isaiah that Christians have long understood as pointing to Jesus Christ (the Messiah). These are among the most commonly cited:1. Isaiah 7:14 — The virgin birth
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”
(Quoted in Matthew 1:22-23 as fulfilled in Jesus.)2. Isaiah 9:6-7 — The divine child and eternal ruler
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom…”
(Widely seen as describing Jesus’ incarnation and kingship.)3. Isaiah 11:1-2 — The Branch from Jesse (David’s line)
“A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.”
(Jesus is the descendant of David; the Spirit descending on Him at baptism fulfills this.)4. Isaiah 35:4-6 — Healing miracles and good news for the afflicted
“Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come… Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy.’”
(Jesus’ miracles—giving sight to the blind, healing the lame, etc.—directly echo this.)5. Isaiah 53:3-7 (the Suffering Servant, especially the whole chapter)
“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain… Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering… But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed… He was led like a lamb to the slaughter…”
(The clearest prophecy of a suffering, atoning Messiah; quoted extensively in the New Testament regarding Jesus’ crucifixion.)6. Isaiah 61:1-2 — The anointed preacher of good news
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor…”
(Jesus read this in the synagogue in Nazareth and declared it fulfilled in Himself — Luke 4:16-21.)
@LeaderJohnThune@SenateGOP There will not be a brighter future if the Democrats open the border again and let millions of illegals vote.
PASS the SAVE AMERICA ACT Sen. Thune!!! Do your job.
@KingKaranCrypto Before getting the car I'd buy a couple of Powerwall 3s and enough solar panels to run my house. Then I'd think about buying the next Roadster or Tesla Off-Road vehicle.

I really think the upcoming next-gen Tesla Roadster is going to flip the entire supercar/hypercar scene upside down.
Tesla has never put all its resources into an all-out performance vehicle in the modern era with the sole mission to be ridiculously capable. This car will set the precedent for what we see later in the future from Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.
I think the Roadster is going to keep those guys up all night. Just a few things we know:
• Co-developed with SpaceX 🚀
• 0-60 mph in under 1 second
• Engineering to be the ultimate drivers car.
Remember, Tesla always makes the impossible, possible. This is gonna be epic.
@home_alexandr Never fails . . . I see an awesome food post while I'm in the middle of a 3-day fast. Now I'm dreaming of the Greek-style burgers I used to eat in Salt Lake City.
@mattvanswol We used to call this rioting, riots, LA Riots, BLM riots, George Floyd riots, Cincinnati riots, Oakland riots, Ferguson, Kenosha riots. "Teen Takeover" sounds idiotic. It's a riot.
