2.5 hours from a legitimate grocery story is a town in the middle of the forest owned by one man. Here, the small community survives independently, with the biggest threats being mountain lions and the occasional criminal attempting to hide from the law. Join me today as we travel to one of the most remote parts of the country to see what this way of living is like.

"Having seized the #Golan #Heights , the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) currently occupy #Quneitra province, 16 kilometers deep into Syrian territory. International watchdogs say the IDF has launched around 300 airstrikes across Syria so far."
Tel Aviv insists its actions are prompted by security concerns. But Furkan Halit Yolcu, security expert and researcher at Sakarya Universityâs Middle East Institute, rejected Israel's narrative and called its actions an offensive land grab."

There has been Wars in the Middle East for over four thousands years.
Arabs against Arabs and Arabs against Hebrews.
Genesis 16:12
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, (Hagar the Egyptian) Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis 17:22
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

I've been thinking about Jordan and Syria. The wars in the Middle East have been going on for over 4,000 year. Jordan should be stepping into the spotlight soon. In the past they haven't supported Hamas, but as of late, they are becoming more positive about them. Such is their hatred for Israel.
For the most part the people and government of Jordan still don't like The Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist groups supported by Iran.

2024
Total population in the Arab World is 89,689,549 million.
Total population in Israel is 9,311,652.
- Earth is home to more than 1.9 billion Muslims. Islam is also the world's fastest-growing religion. The Islamic population is mainly split between 1.5 billion Sunni Muslims and 240-340 million Shia Muslims, with the remainder scattered among a few smaller denominations.
- As of 2023, the world's core Jewish population (those identifying as Jews above all else) was estimated at 15.7 million, which is approximately 0.2% of the 8 billion worldwide population.
- Today, Islam is a prominent religion in both Gaza and the West Bank. Most of the population in the State of Palestine are Muslims (85% in the West Bank and 99% in the Gaza Strip).
- Sunnis constitute 85% of Palestinian Muslims, of which the predominant is Hanafi, which is one of the four schools of Islamic law in Sunni Islam. Salafism took root in Gaza in the 1970s, when Palestinian students returned from studying abroad at religious schools in Saudi Arabia. A number of Salafi groups in Gaza continue to receive support and funding from Riyadh.

Photograph: Gaza after an Israeli bombing.
The Israeli military is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify 37,000 targets that are related to Hamas.
So. Will Islamic countries who support Hamas, and other terrorists organization, use their own high tech AI to map out targets?
No more Low Tech digging of tunnels.
Machines can make the death decisions without the burden of human emotions.
783,137 words in the kjv bible ?
Well, it took astronomers centuries to debate about the #center of the #universe, and it appears like it really is not that simple to determine the #center verse of the #Bible.
Iâm certainly not going to bother counting!
The Centre of the Bible
https://truebibleteaching.com/index.php/the-centre-of-the-bible/
The truth is there are 31,102 verses in the King James Bible. Therefore there is no single middle verse. You cannot have a middle verse with an even number of verses. However there are two middle verses. These would be verses 15,551 and 15,552 (Psalms 103:1-2.)
PSALM 103:1-2
BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
These are the middle two verses of the King James Bible. Both verses start with âBless the LORD, O my soulâ. Verse 1 continues â and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Verse 2 concludes with â and forget not all his benefits. These are powerful words coming from the two center verses of the Book.
Now letâs count the words in these two middle verses. There are twenty-eight. Thatâs seven quadrupled (7 times 4) instead of seven doubled (7 times 2.) Here we have seven compounded twice as much.
Now letâs see if we can find some middle words in the center of Godâs middle verses. Yes, I see four (bless his holy name.) There are twelve words on one side of this phrase and twelve words on the other side. So the King James Bible has bless his holy name right in the center of the two middle verses!
This phrase also has exactly twice as many words (12) on each side of it. God loves the number twelve also. Next to the number seven, it is his favorite number. He uses it a lot in his word. For example there were twelve apostles and twelve tribes of Israel. There are twelve manner of fruits bared by the tree of life. It is the number of authority and power. What else would you expect in the center of Godâs Holy Bible? Bless his holy name.
PSALM 138:2âŚI will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

If you are curious about the #middle #words, letâs get it right. The numbers below are from the King James Bible.
Middle Books
There are 66 books which means there is no middle book of the Bible. Micah and Nahum are the 33rd and 34th book respectively.
What does this mean about Micah and Nahum? Nothing.
Middle Chapter
There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible. The middle chapter is the 595th chapter which is Psalm 117.
What does this mean about Psalm 117? Nothing. It is divinely inspired the same as every other chapter. Psalm 117 is in the context of the Bible talking about Israelâs kingdom.
Middle Verses
There are 31,102 verses in the Bible. There is no middle verse, but Psalm 103:1-2 are the 15,551st and 15,552nd verses, respectively.
Does this add any more meaning to Psalm 103:1-2 that we didnât already know? No, it doesnât.
Middle Words
The middle word of the Bible is either âinâ, âthatâ, âthouâ, âofâ, or âawakeâ depending on if you include the superscriptions in the Psalms and the epistle postscripts.
There are 789,629 words in the Bible without any of those extras. The 394,815th word in the Bible is found in Psalm 59:3. It is âinâ.

The Bible contains 31,102 verses (KJV). Because this total is an even number, there is no exact middle verse. Instead, two verses meet in the middle: Psalm 103:1â2. There are 15,500 verses before these two verses and 15,500 after them.
Sometimes, Psalm 118:8 is mistakenly referred to as the middle verse of the Bible. This verse says, "It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man." This is a great reminder. But, if you are playing a Bible trivia game, it is not the correct answer to the question of What is the middle verse of the Bible?
The middle chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117, but since chapters have varying numbers of verses, the middle verses do not fall in the middle chapter.
The 21st verse, ch. VII of #Ezra, has all the letters of the #alphabet.
