Equipollent Zionism and the 144,000:
Lectio Divina--L'Hôpital's Rule and Partition Congruence
Contemplation as Transgressive and Provocative
by
Dallas F. Bell, Jr.
Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione[1]
Created solo forms of The
Four Seasons.[2]
Before the Benedictine tradition
of Lectio Divina,[3]
De Libero Arbitrio[4]
explored numbers.
Augustine noted that we perceive
numbers,
Asserting a priori innate capability.
We recognize states of order.[5]
All people have this hardwired
ability.
No one needs to be taught the
number concept
Any more than they need to be
taught
Organic nouns and verbs beyond
the
Applied
language for conversation.
Then, math is eternal truth and
has always been
In the mind of
God and now His created humanity.
The existence of this logic
language
Proves the existence of the
eternal intellect
That possesses it from and into
infiniteness.
Finite beings understand infinity[6]
in sets.
Equipollent sets[7]
are disjoint,
They are not equal in content,
They are not identical sets,
They are indistinguishable in
number
Of diffident elements
in each set.
Exclusive relationships give life
meaning.
Man's relationship with God must
be of love.
Judaism and Christianity are sets
Of man and worship for inviolable
God.
Others are sets of God without
man,
Slaves to the dichotomy of Apollonian and Dionysian,[8]
Atheists which
are man without God.[9]
These sets have the same one-two-one elements,
But have different alkaline
content[10]
That address
their separate utopias.
This heaven is their Zion,
Zionism is universal,[11]
but not equal.
True Zionism has counterfeits.
There is no alternative to the
Judeo-Christian ethic,[12]
All religions seemed to be based
on obsolete terminology,[13]
But only the truth is unchanging.
The Trail of Tears[14]
longed for
The return to a
silhouette homeland.
Aliyah[15]
is the migration back to Israel,
Homing pigeons
that follow their innate instinct.
Anti-Zionism[16]
is anti-Semitic.
Anti-Zionism was largely
physical,
But has shifted to the Durban
strategy.[17]
Zion is spiritual and physical.
The Levy Report[18]
proved Israel was compliant
With normally accepted
international laws.
The US rejected that view.[19]
Be warned to not divide God's
land of Israel.[20]
The land will spew you out,
If God's covenants are broken,
If innocent blood is shed,
And sexual perversion is
permitted.[21]
Faith can not
be haphazard private,
The public sector can not be neutral,[22]
Auschwitz and Dachau's lesson
taught.
Nazi's[23]
win if they change ideas
Away from the
truth of God.
His truth will set you free[24]
Naturally displaced by arbeit macht frei.[25]
Man is not mere blood and soil.
Gas chambers are prepared in
lecture halls
Roamed by nihilistic scientists
and philosophers
That teach man is only automated reflexes,
That he is but a bundle of
instincts.[26]

chambers at
Dachau taken by Dallas F. Bell Jr. in 1981 ©.
The Hitlerjugend[27] sang this lie,[28]
Not mere pawns of drives and reactions.
The crown of pride for drunkards
On the pitiless head of a fat
valley,
That hasty fruit will be trod
under foot.[29]
Monism is not the enemy of
freedom,
Freedoms require bruising
judgment.
Pluralism claims many truths,
It does not
require grace, love,
Forgiveness or
justice that we need.[30]
Shame[31]
indicates the acknowledgment
Of
inconsistency with eternal morals.
God will always dwell in Zion.
Jerusalem[32]
foretold of Jesus.[33]
The law comes out of Zion.[34]
Prelude, woe to the wicked,
Children will oppress them,
Women will rule over them.[35]
Temporary Zionist dreams fueled
Columbus,
When the moon darkened the sun,
As on Jesus' preternatural death,[36]
Which returned in founding Zion,[37]
And retaking the city of
Jerusalem,[38]
A quite
habitation, a tabernacle.[39]
More solar and lunar eclipses
will soon speak.[40]
The firmament shows God's
handiwork,
Day to day it utters speech,
Night to night it shows
knowledge,
All languages speak of this,[41]
Iridescent
return of Jesus.[42]
The sealed ones, the 144,000
virgins,[43]
Sealed in their foreheads,[44]
Willing slaves of our God,
Will accept Jesus as the perfect
sacrifice,[45]
The perfect
scapegoat and lamb.[46]
Cast out of the camp into the
dark wilderness,
For the
defenestration sins of mankind.
The One worthy to open the sealed
scroll,[47]
Jesus was cast out of Jerusalem
To die at the hand of gentiles
For all man's salvation
At a place of a skull,[48]
Eclipsed in darkness.[49]
Redemption is a gift by grace.[50]
12,000 man
remnant with no guile,[51]
From each of the twelve tribes,
But Manassas replaced Dan.[52]
As the 7,000 remnant did not bow
To the evil god Ba'al of Ahab,[53]
Ba'alim,[54]
the sexual seduction of Ba'alpeor,[55]
The Lord of the flies,
Ba'alzebub,[56]
And idol covenants with
Ba'alberith,[57]
Or Hu-baal the
moon god.[58]
The anti-Christ will also seal,
De rigueur[59]
with his evil mark,
The foreheads
of his followers.[60]
God will raise
up the tabernacle of David
With the remnant and heathen
gentiles
Called by His titular name.[61]
Jesus returns[62]
during Hanukkah,[63]
The sequestered
Feast of Dedication.
Eight days of menorah flames
Judas Maccabeus,[64]
the hammer,
Drove out the shylock invaders,
As dreidels turned and spun,
With the letters of 358,[65]
The number of
the Messiah.[66]
Lex Rex utilizes Scripture and Natural Law,
Along with Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos,[67]
Defense of
liberty against tyrants.
Unlike Rex Lex utilized
By non-Judeo-Christian's and
atheists,
L'Hôpital's rule[68]
utilizes derivations
Evaluating limits of indeterminate form.
Zero to the power of zero is indeterminate,
It has been recently agreed to equal one.[69]
Zero is the integer denoted as 0,
Meaning that no objects are present.
0 is both a number,
And the digit to represent that
number.
Its two properties are addition[70]
and multiplication.[71]
0 is greater than -1.
Zero may be considered as nothing,
But -1 is considered as less than nothing.
In Hebrew, efes
means nothing,
But it has a reality that is existent.
Things we can not see are
as real
As the things our retinas detect.[72]
Atheist math incoherently scoffs[73]
At the cosmological options
Of everything coming from zero existence,
As zero is greater than zero,
Or denies infinite time regress,
Where there is no secession of moments,[74]
And no succession of moments.[75]
Infiniteness is elusively complete,
And is not an ever increasing
process.
Time requires a chopped beginning
That is outside of eternal infiniteness.
Infinite time and infinite space are related.[76]
Hilbert's Grand Hotel[77]
illustrates the veridical paradox[78]
Of counterintuitive aspects of
infinite sets.
An asymptote of a curve[79]
is a line
Such that the distance between the curve
And the line approaches zero,
As they tend toward infinity.
Falling dominoes need kinetic energy[80]
Sufficient to overcome a neutral state,
And that energy is transferred to the next object[81]
By cause and effect.
Habitual behavior is derived from decisions,
Initially made from a desire or need.
Chemicals are released and the behavior reinforced,
Becoming more difficult to change,
As the body adjusts and adjusts.
Polymerase chain reactions rely
On thermal cycling of repeated heating
And cooling DNA used as a template
For a chain reaction where the DNA template
Is exponentially amplified.
Partition congruences can compare belief systems,
In some of God's commandments,
To all of God's commandments.[82]
And the congruence of those beliefs,
The nth
Bell number[83] is
the number of partitions,
The partition of set x is a division of x
Into non-overlapping and non-empty parts
That cover all of x.
Contemplation is meditative.
God will reveal to futurists,[84]
As He did to God's servant, Isaiah,
Who walked naked and barefoot
Three years for a sign and a wonder.[85]
If God is not omnipotent,
Prayers would not make any difference,
Contrary to biblical examples
Where Divine intervention occurred.
Elijah called fire from heaven,[86]
He caused a drought for over three years,[87]
And was subject, as we are, to like passions.[88]
Meditation can be on traditional hymns.
Maoz Zur,[89]
at Hanukkah,
Reflects on two conceptions of redemption,
Within history, and beyond
history.
If we deserve forgiveness,
We don't need that moral hygiene.
It is not likely for the intellect
That created a problem to solve the problem.
This requires a higher level of intellect.
The micro level of creation,
Will not be boxed in by humans,
Nor measured without changing everything,
Exposing the finiteness of human ability and reason.
Polanyi[90]
argued the information contained in DNA molecules
Is not reducible to the known laws of physics and
chemistry.[91]
The molecules exist with physical properties,
And are constrained by higher ordered principles.
Even the works of Shakespeare and Mozart
Can not be explained by describing paper
and ink.
We are as sick as our secrets.[92]
False prophets have dreams and visions,
That contradict Scripture and are transgressive.[93]
Try, try, try the spirits.[94]
Contemplation in private devotion
Is and must be on spiritual things.
Transgression crosses over their set limits,
That violate laws and duties.
This is idolatry. It is idolatrous
If we neglect to help others.
This violates clear teaching and is idolatrous.
The narcissist uses God's words
As a means of increasing self-esteem,
And is a Freudian transgressive act.
Transgressors will be cut off from the earth.[95]
In this escapist digital age,
Virtual reality arrogantly creates varying degrees
Of disconnection with reality,
A magical world separated
From the wisdom of the ages.
The more the virtual world is disconnect,
The greater is the incompleteness,
Of laws, objects and situations,
And the greater is the destructive reality
Of finite man's competence,
Compared to the infinite Creator.
Contemplation should not disconnect
Us from the precision of Divine
reality.
Satan seeks to devour souls,[96]
He can appear as an angel of light.[97]
We are to meditate on God's laws,[98]
His created objects and
situations.[99]
It is for our understanding,[100]
For spiritual satisfaction,[101]
and for knowledge.[102]
Meditate in the somnolent day,[103]
Meditate in the evening,[104]
and meditate at night.[105]
Solomon did not petition God for long life,
For wealth or the heads of his enemies,
He asked for wisdom of judgment.
God was pleased and gave him what he asked,
And He also gave him riches and honor,
Things for which he did not ask.[106]
We owe the Creator of the beautiful sunsets
Obedience of His beautiful royal laws of liberty,[107]
They convert the impoverished soul.[108]
The imagination is evil[109]
and willful,[110]
It is deceitful,[111]
vain and foolish.[112]
Their vexed words fly up,
Their thoughts remain below.[113]
The heathen rage and imagine vain things,
Because they take counsel against the Lord,
And His mustered anointed.[114]
People are difficult to govern
If they have too much knowledge.[115]
The older they become,
The more the knowledge pushes
Out the senses of wonder and mystery
Only Jesus can maintain.[116]
In time, religious corruption is to be expected,
And a power structure is created
To act in self interest.[117]
Beware of their leaven![118]
Corrupt trees bring evil fruit.
Good trees can not bring
evil fruit,
Neither can corrupt trees bring good fruit.[119]
Woe to the scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites,
You tithe mint, anise and cumin,
But omit the weightier matters.
You are blind guides of snobbery,
You serpents, you generation of
vipers.
How will you escape the damnation of hell?[120]
Whoever is justified by law
Are fallen from God's grace.[121]
People that know their God
Will be strong and do exploits.[122]
But Job warned of theological pitfalls,
Forced to the surface by surgical persecution.[123]
Theology is simple and sublime.
It is the heart that perceives God,
And not cluttered reason.[124]
What is man in nature?
Nothing in relation to the infinite,
Yet all in relation to nothing,
A mean between nothing and everything,[125]
A merism, as far as the east is from the
west.[126]
God's ways are not our ways,
Our ways lead to destruction,
His ways are unsearchable.[127]
We should want to think God's thought after Him,[128]
Eloheem is in plenary control.[129]
Remember the Creator in the days of youth,
Before the evil days come.[130]
Wash thy hands in innocence,[131]
And be a servant of righteousness.[132]
We have to serve somebody,
It may be the devil,
It may be the Lord,
But we have to serve somebody.[133]
No man can serve two masters,
Either you will love the one and hate the other,
Or you will hold to one and despise the other.
Take no thought for your life,
What you eat or drink,
Or what souvenir you wear.
Life is more than meat and raiment,
Birds do not fretfully sow,
We can not add a cubit to
our stature.
God knows what we need,
Seek first His kingdom,
Take no thought for tomorrow,
Evil is sufficient for today.[134]
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Lean not on your understanding,[135]
In God's favor is life.[136]
Judge not that we be not judged.[137]
We do not know the way of a spirit,
Nor the works of God who made
all.[138]
Man shall not live by bread alone,
But by every word from the mouth
of God.[139]
We shall not tempt the Lord our God,[140]
We shall worship the Lord our God,
And only Him shall we serve.[141]
Provoking God is sin,[142]
It calls forth His justice to act.
One third of Jesus' miracles
Dealt with the demonic.
Daniel's answer to his prayers
Were demonically delayed for twenty-one days,
By the dark prince of Persia[143]
But Michael the archangel fought for Israel,
And he always prevails.[144]
The anti-Christ hates private property,
Where self-sufficiency is possible.
In the last days, people will trade
Their loyalty to the anti-Christ for food,[145]
Provoking God by this disconnecting,
And contemplation from His laws,
Created objects and situations.
This transgression is premeditated,[146]
It causes powerlessness,[147]
unfaithfulness,[148]
Death,[149]
destruction,[150] and
curses.[151]
Its punishment is defeat,[152]
disease,[153]
Captivity,[154]
affliction,[155]
death and hell.[156]
The courses of action are to stay disobedient,[157]
To cover it up,[158]
or repent.[159]
Because the sentence against evil works
Is not executed speedily,
The hearts of many men are fully set
To continue to do the dragon's evil.[160]
Paul said whatever is true and honest,
Whatever is just and pure,
Whatever is loving and of
good report,
If there is any virtue or praise,
Think on these things.[161]
Unlike chess, the game of life continues
After we have been checkmated.[162]
The God of wisdom laughs and mocks
At the calamity and fear
Of those that reject His wisdom,[163]
By faith alone—sola fide,[164]
And are infinitely condemned.
God is not summarily mocked,
What we sow, we will reap.[165]
The Creator of all things
Is worth receiving glory and honor,
And lan praise,[166]
singing Hallelujah.[167]
This is the summum
bonum[168]
To sing and rejoice. O daughter of Zion,
God will dwell in thy midst.[169]
Out of babes' mouths,
He has perfected praise.[170]
Where two or three are gathered in Jesus' name,
He has promised to be there.[171]
Brothers, gather for lectio divina
With statio,[172]
lectio, meditatio, oratio,
Contemplatio, collatio,[173]
then actio,[174]
Always being doers of the Word,[175]
Not doers of the mortal flesh,[176]
That vainly commands sta fermo.[177]
Each thought and deed
Washes us downstream in flesh toward darkness,
Or projects us upstream in Spirit toward God's
light.
Drink from the Living Water,[178]
Confirm the feeble knees,[179]
For if we are led by God's Spirit,
We are the sons of God![180]
Higgaion.[181]

Il
cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Contest Between Harmony and Invention)
is a set of twelve concertos written by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) between
1723 and 1725 and published in 1725 as Op. 8. All are for violin solo, strings,
and basso continuo. The first four concertos are usually known as The Four Seasons (It. Le
quattro stagioni).
[3]
(L. Divine/Holy Reading) is an individual monastic practice began by St.
Ambrose (Aurelius Ambrosius, c.
330-397) and St. Augustine (Augustine
of Hippo, 354-430) and established by St.
Benedict (Benedict of Nursia, c. 480-547) and
formalized by Guigo II (died around 1193).
It is a four step process of reading Scripture (L. lectio), meditating on it (L. meditatio),
praying about it (L. oratio) and
followed by contemplation (L. contemplatio). This is not necessarily a theological
analysis but is intended to promote communion with God by treating His
Scripture as living relevant words.
[4]
Augustine's Book 2 of On Free Choice of
the Will or Of/On Free Will (L. De
Libero Arbitrio) discusses this subject.
[5]
An observation of a
priori ability by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630).
[6]
Eternity has been put in the hearts of man by God
(Eccl. 3:11).
[7]
If A = (1, 2, 3) and B = (a, b, c) then A ~ B. A is equipollent to B since the sets
have one-to-one correspondence. So
if A = B it is also A ~ B but not vice versa.
[8]
Generally, Apollo is a god of reason and Dionysus is a god of pleasure. This atheist struggle
was expressed by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) in The Birth of Tragedy.
[9]
If there is no God, the Bible was written by men that created
their God and their beliefs are authoritatively equal to the anti-god
beliefs of atheists. The odds of
Moses getting the Genesis creation sequence correct has been calculated as 31
followed by 21 zeros. The complete
creation account (Gen. 1:1-31; 2:1-3) has 92 unique words
which is equal to stand alone elements naturally occurring in the
periodic table of chemical elements.
There are 22 Hebrew letters and exactly 22 amino acids that are life's
building blocks. Atheists use
science as a religion or magic. It
is given power over the world, has myth of struggle (e.g. man versus evolution,
etc.), has heroes (Darwin, Freud etc.), and has credulity (false Freudian
belief that all things are sexual, impossibility of natural selection, etc.). Kevin Dutton, research psychologist at
the Faraday Institute of Cambridge University, explained to Dallas F. Bell Jr.
in an email exchange in November, 2012, he has begun a
study using the Great American Psychopath Survey (GAPS).
[10]
A (Judaism and Christianity) is not = to B (non Judeo-Christian religions) or C
(atheism) but A ~ B or C.

Dmitry Radyshevsky, CEO of The
Jerusalem Summit, wrote a book on
universal Zionism.

This is a quote in a 1999 interview with Jürgen Habermas (b.
1929).
[13]
A quote from the 1962 novel, Pale Fire, written by Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977).
[14] This is the name given to the route of Native
Americans forced from their homelands by the US government to their designated
lands. The Five Civilized Tribes
removed were the Choctaw (1831), the Seminole (1832), the Muscogee or Creek
(1834), the Chickasaw (1837), and the Cherokee (1838). Many people died on the trip. The government steps began with
conducting a census to find were they were and then disarming them. This is the method commonly used by
tyrants and explains the rationale for the founding US fathers placing the
Divine right to bear arms for self protection against the eventual tyranny of
the US government (1791 Second Amendment to the US Constitution called the Bill
of Rights) just after the Divine right to speak and worship freely from US
government restraint (First Amendment) and before the Divine right to not have
personal property (homes) seized and used by US government soldiers (Third
Amendment). Clive (C. S.) Lewis (1898-1963)
has been quoted as saying "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good
of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under
robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's
cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity (desire) may at some point be
satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without
end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience" and
"For who can endure a doctrine which would allow
only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say
whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were
being well governed?" (See works
such as God in the Dock: Essays on
Theology and Ethics, The Screwtape Letters etc.)

German for work makes one free.
This was the materialist's slogan of German socialists on the entrance
gate to the murderous Dachau concentration camp designed to create
Darwinian/manmade social justice.
Thereby, the barbarian and uncivilized result of beliefs that reject God
are exposed, such as socialism which replaces God's
authority of grace with a merciless government authority that lies, steals,
murders etc.

The Jewish objections to Jesus have been addressed by Michael
Brown, former professor of Jewish Apologetics at Fuller Theological Seminary
and Old Testament and Jewish Studies at Regent University Divinity School. This information was derived from an

Hubal (Hu-baal) was the moon god to whom Arabs prayed
at the Kaa'ba and they used the name Allah when they prayed (See F.E.
Peters, The Hajj, pp.24-25, Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, p.161 and
179, and George W. Braswell Jr., Islam,
p.44, etc.)
Allah corresponded to the Babylonian god Baal. Arabs are believed to have known of him
long before Mohammed worshipped him as the supreme God. Before Islam, the Arabs
recognized many gods and goddesses.
Each tribe had their own deity(ies). Allah was the god of the local Quarish
tribe, which was Mohammed's tribe before he created Islam to lead his people
out of their polytheism and into monotheism. Allah was then known as the Moon
God, who had 3 daughters who were viewed as intercessors for the people of
Allah (See the Encyclopedia of Religion
etc.)

exactly three years after it was desecrated. (See 1 Macc 4:52-59 and 2 Macc 10:1-8 of
the Apocrypha and Roman Catholic Canon.)
[64]
In 166 BC, Judas leads the Jewish rebellion after his father's death (1 Macc
2:70 to 3:2).
[65]
Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew
alphabet: (נ) nun (50), (ג) gimmel (3), (ה) hei
(5), and (ש) shin (300) which equal 358. They form the acronym for "נס
גדול היה שם"
(Heb. Nes Gadol Hayah Sham means a great miracle
happened there).
[66]
The Messiah (Mashiach; MaSHIaCH) is mem (40), shin (300), yud (10), and chet (8) which equal 358.
The other choice for the number 358 is the devilish snake or the shiny
one (Nachash; NaCHaSH) whose number is nun (50), chet
(8), and shin (300). This serpent
from the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:1) is identified as Satan (Rev. 20:2). Each time the dreidel falls over it
signifies the defeat of Satan.
[67]
Lex Rex (L. meaning the Law of God is king) instead of Rex Lex (L. meaning the
king is the law). Samuel Rutherford
(c. 1600-1661) wrote his 1644 book, The
Law is King, in response to Bishop John Maxwell's Sacro-Sanctum Regus Majestas.
[68]
The rule is named for Guillaume Francois Antoine, Marquis de l'Hôpital (1661-1704). It is not recommended to be used when
the limits of two parts are not both 0, or both infinite.
[69]
0 to the power of 0 equaling one is a general consensus based on a
to the power of 0 equaling one for a ! = 0.
[70]
Any number added to 0 equals the number added, for example 2 + 0 = 2 or x + 0 =
x.
[71]
Any number multiplied by 0 equals 0, for example -5 x 0 = 0 or y x 0 = 0.
[72] (The following is the invited contribution by Dallas
F. Bell Jr. for October, 2012, to the Federation of
American Scientists' Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the
Cuban Missile Crisis regarding lessons learned.)
An independent observer could
learn lessons from the 13-day crisis (October 1962) from the views of each of
the participants. As scholars know
(August 1962), Cuba experienced an unsuccessful overthrow of their regime by
the U.S. From their perspective,
U.S. President Kennedy demonstrated questionable resolve in using superior
force projection. It was to be
expected that they would be agreeable to more Soviet participation in providing
them force multipliers. Soviet
Premier Khrushchev witnessed the U.S. deployment of missiles to the UK (1958)
and deployment to Italy and Turkey (1962).
It was to be expected that Khrushchev would project his force to
Cuba. Eventually, the U.S. would
discover that strategy. At that
point, the U.S. would have to address this security issue. Kennedy went with the least aggressive
option, a blockade of Cuba, while preparing for full scale, possible nuclear, war. Khrushchev
publically lamented the U.S. action but sought to privately head off a nuclear
World War III. He dismantled the
weapons and the Cold War went ahead in other directions.
It is obvious that the
missiles were inanimate as is any other weapon. They do not have their own strategies
and behavior. People use weapons as
tools to project their will. It is
likely that the richest pedagogical nuggets are then located in the
epistemological arena. Plato's Republic demonstrated the reality of
virtues, such as courage, by showing their polarity, such as cowardice. He proved the things we cannot see are
as real as the things our retinas detect from reflected spectrums of
light. This signal is processed in
our brains to be called upon as data to make decisions at a future date. It is not likely that present
neuroscience technology (fMRI etc.) can scan blood flow to brain regions of the
players in a future crisis. We are
left to analysis of invisible human will and options of acting on that
desire(s).
Human brains must act much like a light switch with the
binary options of being switched on or being switched off. There can be no "both and"
position. The on or affirmative (1)
position and the off or negative (0) position are used in a matrix between
players. Either the result will be
1,1 (both sides win) or 1,0 or 0,1 (one side wins, one side loses) or 0,0 (both
sides lose). Of course, the next
question is what is considered a win and what is considered a loss. Kennedy and Khrushchev each considered
nuclear war to be a loss. Each side
ultimately won by avoiding (nuclear) war from a rational view
point. This lesson provides
the logic structure for the present nuclear analysis of Iran's Ahmadinejad
(publically proclaiming a 0,0 is for him a win or 1,0), Israel's Netanyahu
(who must accept 0,0 in the case of a "Samson option" but prefers a win
option), and U.S. inaction forcing an unilateral Israeli attempt at a 1,0
outcome. If this lesson has been learned by the U.S., U.S. and world
nuclear security will be greatly enhanced.

No withdrawal of moments as the present slips into the pass and is replaced by
another moment designating the present.
[75]
No series of moments that is infinite between the past and the present moment
so that the present moment can never be reached.

In geometry, asymptotic curves look at the comparison of functions as inputs
approach infinity. Asymptotic
analysis is a method of describing limiting behavior. Yamir Moreno, professor of physics at
the University of Zaragoza,
has co-authored a paper on asymptotic level of cooperation. He exchanged emails with Dallas F. Bell
Jr. during October, 2012, regarding this subject.

The Talmud is considered by many people to match or exceed the authority of
Torah/Tanach (Old Testament) Scripture.
It rejects many biblical principles, such as Gentiles coming to God's
light and the righteous inheriting the land forever (Is. 60:3, 21). Excluding or denying some problematic
Talmud text leads to false negative testing of it as a nontransgressive
document (e.g. of the Babylonian Talmud tractates Kethuboth folio 11b,
Sanhedrin folio 54b-55a and folio 59b, etc.). The inclusion of extra biblical text
leads to test criteria that is a false positive
nontransgressive document. The
Talmud is not useless but not comparable to Scriptures. Saul Lieberman (1898-1983) wrote Al ha-Yerushalmi. He suggested ways of mending corruption
in the text of the Jerusalem Talmud and reading of Tractate Sotah. Judaizers make Jewish by customs and
beliefs with a legalism goal. Paul
wrote (Gal. 6:12) those that would force you to follow law do so as to not be
persecuted for the cross. He warns
not to give heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men that turn from the
truth (Titus 1:14). The text of the
complete SoncinoTalmud can be found at http://halakhah.com

Remembering
It was that time on a fall
evening to release those
thoughts forced between oscillating routines
which structure the mediocre neurological life,
my supposing it prevalent for all primeval genes.
A night dream came in the
decline of day where
I stood near a bed of flushed
charcoal briquettes
and saw round red steel hammered convex and thin,
then shallowly drown in reflecting water buckets.
The water boiled violently
and cooled peacefully
as the double-edged blade was patiently refined
on the rough grey stone wheel in the oeuvre corner,
afterward laid among other esteemed swords shined.
I struggle awake, and was strenuously trying to forget
my journey from the heaven on high and hell below,
yet I narrowly remembered Du Fu and Zekaryah, and
their temples of old, and Eloheem
in plenary control.
