Do women own their husbands?
All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding.
Obadiah 1:7
All nations are ultimately tools of God's will. It's impossible to ally yourself against him because he owns all of your potential allies. He will reward your faithlessness toward him with faithlessness toward you from those you rely on most.

ABRAHAM DECEIVES ABIMELECH
From Genesis 20
Later Abraham left Mamre and moved southward again to the Negeb, settling between Kadesh and Shur. On a visit to Gerar, Abraham said that Sarah was his sister so Abimelech the king of Gerar sent for her. But YHVH appeared to Abimelech in a dream that night. [You are marked for death because you have taken that man’s wife,] YHVH told him. At this time Abimelech had not even come near Sarah. [Adonai will You destroy innocent people?] he asked. [Didn’t Abraham tell me that she was his sister? And didn’t she say that he was her brother? My heart and hands are clean in this matter.] [I know that you are innocent,] YHVH continued in the dream. [But it is I Who restrained you from touching her. Now give her back to her husband, for he is a prophet. He will pray for you and you will live. If you do not return her, you and your household are marked for death.] When Abimelech arose in the morning, he told his servants about the dream and they were very frightened. Abimelech called for Abraham to talk with him. [What have you done to us?] he demanded. [And what sin have I committed against you to cause you to bring this upon me and my kingdom? What you have done is very wrong! Why did you do it?] [I thought that you people did not fear YHVH and that you would kill me because of my wife,] Abraham answered. [She is my sister, for she is my father’s daughter, but not my mother’s. But she is also my wife. When YHVH caused me to travel far away from my father’s land, I asked her to show kindness to me by saying that I am her brother.] Then Abimelech gave Abraham sheep, oxen, and male and female servants and he returned Sarah his wife to him also. [You may settle anywhere you wish in my land,] said Abimelech. To Sarah he said, [I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It will compensate you for whatever trouble I have caused you and your family. You are clear now before all men.] Then Abraham prayed to YHVH and He healed Abimelech and his wife and the other women around them, so they could have children again. For Adonai had caused all of these women to be barren as long as Sarah remained in Abimelech’s household.
COMMENTARY
THE JOURNEYS OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC
It is a mistake to think of Bible heroes as different from men and women today. Even those with towering faith still had human failings. Abraham’s weakness was fear. Again, we see Abraham lie about his relationship with Sarah. Why? [I thought these people did not fear YHVH at all.] The people of the land might not know YHVH, but YHVH was there. And His power was unlimited. The journeys of Abraham and Isaac were not tourist trips for pleasure and sight-seeing, but migrations of a tribal leader with his people. Often these were ordered by YHVH. Abraham’s journeys, as recorded in the Bible, began at his hometown of Ur, then part of Sumer. At YHVH’s Command, he and his family went up through the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys to Haran. After some time at Haran, Abraham left for Canaan, where he stayed first at Shechem, in the Plain of Moreh. Bethel was Abraham’s next stop, and then [the south,] the Negeb. But a famine forced him to leave with Sarah and his family for Egypt. After a short stay in Egypt, they returned to Canaan, living first at Bethel, then at Mamre, then Gerar, and finally at Beersheba. Abraham made one other journey, far to the north to Hobah, near Damascus. There he and a select band of armed men defeated a raiding party led by four kings from the north, rescuing Lot. He returned past Salem, which is modern Jerusalem, and gave a tenth of the spoils to its king, who was also a priest. The travels of Abraham’s son Isaac were much more restrictive. As the solid line on the map shows, Isaac never left the general area of his birth. Gerar, Beersheba, and Beer-lahai-roi were the three principal places on his itinerary. When one realizes that journeys such as these meant the movement of herds and flocks, tents and children, often on foot, it is not surprising that people went so seldom.
If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night— how you have been destroyed!— would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out!
Obadiah 1:5-6
God's judgment is complete and thorough. No deed or thought can be hid from him and no possession can be kept from him.

Luke 4:16 WEB He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Acts 17:2 WEB Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
A point of confusion that may come up after looking into the Sabbath is when it was. I know I once held the belief it was Sunday. I distinctly remember listening to a podcast once and a person was telling a story about meeting someone on an airplane. That person mentioned he was excited for sundown as it was the Sabbath, to which the person mentioned it was Friday night. I turned it off and thought to myself "idiot, the Sabbath is Sunday."
However, if you look into the history of the Sabbath, you can quickly see that it isn't Sunday, but Friday night to Saturday night, often just shortened to say Saturday. Many historical records show the Jews of the time of Jesus were keeping a Saturday Sabbath. There are even Roman historians (Cassius Dio, Frontinus, & Tacitus) of the time stating the Jews were resting on Saturn's Day. When you look into the word for Saturday in other languages, you will find many that have a word very similar to Sabbath or Shabbat (the Hebrew word for Sabbath), including the Greek word for Saturday (Sabbato). The Roman calendar at that time was already a 7-day week, as it was once an 8-day week. A few hundred years later when it was switched from Julian to Gregorian, the 7-day cycle did not change. A Saturday today would still have been a Saturday back during Jesus' time.
Couple these facts with Scripture and we see that Jesus and Paul were observing a Saturday Sabbath. I point out Paul because many will take Acts 20:7 to say they were doing Sabbath on Sunday now. If that was the case, how could Paul visit the synagogues to reason with the Scriptures? No one would be there. If there was a Saturday crew and then a Sunday crew, why would Paul reason with the Sunday crew? Wouldn't those be the ones already believing in Jesus?
These historical records also put away any arguments saying the Sabbath changes month to month. If this were the case, these historical records would indicate that. Which also brings up the point of "any day could be Sabbath in Jesus". There is no Scripture, or historical evidence to back this up. We see time and time again that when Sabbath is mentioned, it was Saturday.
Jesus tells us to follow him and do what He did. He rested on Saturday. Paul tells us to imitate him as he imitates Christ. He rested on Saturday. Are you doing what these are asking?

i typically consider the things this man says specious as he is a compromised asset, or a "useful idiot" whom is required to support the coming "New Age" beast system religion by supporting the "outer space/Nibiru" narrative, but lately he has a few things worthy of being aware of:
