If you take good antioxidants you can maintain good eyesight. I'm 68 years old and I've been taking OPC for many years. I don't have cataracts. And neither will I have stroke because the same stuff that makes cataracts makes stroke. One of my eye doctors that I asked if I had cataracts said no. And then she added as long as you've been taking good antioxidants. I told her that I have. My last eye doctor told me my eyes are better than most people.

Another Messianic classic book review: Hal Lindsey: https://thekingdomnetwork.us/2....025/06/22/book-revie
"Moving the goalposts" is a logical fallacy and a means of manipulating people into giving far more than they intended. If a person is never satisfied with their original request, always demanding a little bit more, then a little bit more, and you never seem to reach the final goal, they're moving the goalposts on you. Once someone has revealed themselves to be a post-mover, there's only one real solution....

Rise and Believe!

2025:7:7
[Verse 1]
They die in the wilderness, lost in the sand,
Grumbling children of Yis-ra-’EL, missed the command.
All they were called to was trust and obey,
Hebrews three warns us—don’t turn away.
[Chorus]
Don’t die in the wilderness, rise and believe,
Hold fast to His promise, His word receive.
By faith we inherit, by hope we withstand,
Let’s walk in His mercy to the Promised Land.
[Verse 2]
They grieved His Spirit, their hearts cold as stone,
No fruit in their living, their faith overthrown.
Their mouths filled with folly, their hope cast aside,
Learn from their failing—let truth be your guide.
[Chorus]
Don’t die in the wilderness, rise and believe,
Hold fast to His promise, His word receive.
By faith we inherit, by hope we withstand,
Let’s walk in His mercy to the Promised Land.
[Bridge]
Each word will be measured, each thought will be weighed,
By lips we are lifted or justly repaid.
Let’s walk in obedience, let trust be our stand,
Don’t die in the wilderness, claim what He planned.
[Chorus]
Don’t die in the wilderness, rise and believe,
Hold fast to His promise, His word receive.
By faith we inherit, by hope we withstand,
Let’s walk in His mercy to the Promised Land.
[Repeat Chorus]
Don’t die in the wilderness, rise and believe,
Hold fast to His promise, His word receive.
By faith we inherit, by hope we withstand,
Let’s walk in His mercy to the Promised Land.

The decline of a society or a nation begins subtly. Paul describes it in Romans 1:21, “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.” Where does Paul draw this idea from? Jeremiah 2:5, “This is what the LORD says: “What fault did your fathers find in Me that they strayed so far from Me? They followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves.”
The heartfelt desire of every parent is to provide adequately for the needs of their family. The question comes when we attempt to discern where to draw the line between needs and wants. Does a child need food, clothing, and emotional support? Most definitely! But does that same child need the latest designer-label jackets and shoes, or a late-model sports car the day they turn sixteen? Probably not. When we speak of the provision of YHVH, we must be careful to similarly differentiate between our needs and our wants. While we are often confused about the difference, YHVH is not. We must trust YHVH both to identify our needs and to meet them by his gracious provision.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TRUST YHVH’S PROVISION?
Joshua 3:1-10: “Come and listen to what Adonai your YHVH says. Today you will know that the living YHVH is among you.” We most often experience the provision of YHVH when we are following him in obedience.
Exodus 16:4-30: “Then Adonai said to Moses, ‘Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you… Do not keep any of it overnight.’ But, of course, some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. By then it was full of maggots.” YHVH provided for the daily needs of his people. When they struggled it was because greed and disobedience led to problems in distribution.
2 Peter 1:3-4: “As we know Yeshua better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life.” YHVH has provided resources from his own character to those who seek him.
John 6:35: “Yeshua replied, ‘I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again.’” Our deepest hunger is met not by bread but by the filling of our hearts with the love and power of Moshiach himself.
Ephesians 1:6-8: “He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven.” Through the riches of his grace YHVH has provided for our greatest need -- forgiveness of sin and salvation in Yeshua Moshiach.
IS THERE A GOOD END TO ALL THAT IS WRONG IN THE WORLD?
WE CAN HAVE FAITH IN YHVH’S GOODNESS DESPITE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
“There was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. He was blameless, a man of complete integrity. He feared YHVH and stayed away from evil.” (Job 1:1) As we see calamity and suffering in the book of Job, we must remember that we live in a fallen world where good behaviour is not always rewarded and bad behaviour is not always punished. When we see a notorious criminal prospering or an innocent child in pain, we say, “That’s wrong.” And it is. Sin has twisted justice and made our world unpredictable and ugly. The book of Job shows a good man suffering for no apparent fault of his own. Sadly, our world is like that. But Job’s story does not end in despair. Through Job’s life we can see that faith in YHVH is justified even when our situations look hopeless. Faith based on rewards or prosperity is hollow. To be unshakable, faith must be built on the confidence that YHVH’s ultimate purpose will come to pass.
IN SPITE OF EVIL, YHVH IS WORKING OUT HIS GOOD PURPOSES.
“As far as I am concerned, YHVH turned into good what you meant for evil. He brought me to the high position I have today so I could save the lives of many people.” (Genesis 50:20) When Joseph became a slave, Jacob thought he was dead and wept in despair (Genesis 37:30). But eventually YHVH’s plan allowed Jacob to regain not only his son, but his grandchildren as well. Circumstances are never so bad that they are beyond YHVH’s help. Jacob regained his son. Job got a new family (Job 42:10-17). Mary regained her brother Lazarus (John 11:1-44). We need never despair, because we belong to a loving YHVH. We never know what good he will bring out of a seemingly hopeless situation. In Joseph’s life, YHVH brought good from the brothers’ evil deed, Potiphar’s wife’s false accusation, the cupbearer’s neglect, and seven years of famine. Joseph’s experiences taught him that YHVH brings good from evil for those who trust him. Do you trust YHVH enough to wait patiently for him to bring good out of bad situations? You can trust him because, as Joseph learned, YHVH can overrule people’s evil intentions to bring about his intended results.
YHVH’S ABILITY TO DO GOOD IS NOT LIMITED BY OUR UNDERSTANDING.
“When Yeshua heard about it he said, ‘Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of YHVH. I, the Son of YHVH, will receive glory from this.’” (John 11:4) As their brother grew very sick, Mary and Martha turned to Yeshua for help. They believed in his ability to help because they had seen his miracles. We too know of Yeshua’ miracles, both from Scripture and through changed lives we have seen. When we need extraordinary help, Yeshua offers extraordinary resources. We should not hesitate to ask him for assistance. Any trial a believer faces can ultimately bring glory to YHVH, because YHVH can bring good out of any bad situation (Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28). When trouble comes, do you grumble, complain, and blame YHVH, or do you see your problems as opportunities to honour him?
YHVH IS INVOLVED IN ALL REALMS OF LIFE TO BRING ABOUT HIS GOOD ENDS.
“We know that YHVH causes everything to work together for the good of those who love YHVH and are called according to his purpose for them.” (Romans 8:28) YHVH works in “everything"-not just isolated incidents-for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but YHVH is able to turn every circumstance around for our long-range good. Note that YHVH is not working to make us happy, but to fulfil his purpose. Note also that this promise is not for everybody. It can be claimed only by those who love YHVH and are fitting into YHVH’s plans. Those who are “called” are those the Ruach Kodesh convinces and enables to receive Moshiach. Such people have a new perspective, a new mind-set on life. They trust in YHVH, not life’s treasures; they look to their security in heaven, not on earth; they learn to accept, not resent, pain and persecution because YHVH is with them.
