Feeding 4000

This blog looks at the story of the feeding of the 4000. Also, watch dates, shop work and headlines.

Mark: Feeding 4000

For a long time we thought that the feeding of the 4000 was likely to be an Ananias edit against the story of the feeding of the 5000. Of course, perhaps, the edit could go the other way around.

Generally speaking, when New Testament stories are duplicated, one of those stories is going to be the inspired copy, and the others are going to be the work of Ananias and his friends. Since these 2 stories are so similar, they look to be both an original and then an edit.

Ryan has been making really good progress in identifying likely inspired stories across the New Testament. In that work he could basically show that there must be 2 different feeding stories, both the 5000 and the 4000.

This comes because of passages late in Mark which are required to fill in the chiastic structure of Mark. The link above is to the feeding of the 4000 story in Mark. But now let me turn to the interpretive story where both the feeding of the 5000 and the feeding of the 4000 are parts of a larger story.

Yeast of Pharisees and Herod

Ryan was forced to return this passage because the story itself is part of a tribal chiasm and it applies to Judah, so modern Russia.

The link here is to that final story in Mark 8. They had only brought 1 loaf with them in the ship. Joshua uses this point to warn his disciples about the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod.

To the extent that a loaf is food, then yeast are the editors' additions which make that bread grow. The feast of unleavened bread, an annual holiday, is designed to drive home the point to only read inspired text.

But this story suggests there are 2 sources of yeast. The first, the pharisees, is going to be the 6 primary editors that spring from the traditions of the Jebusites. So yeast is the normal list of 6 editors, Solomon, Ahab/Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Mordecai, Ezra and Ananias.

So what is the yeast of Herod?

First answer is that the word 'Herod' was added by Ananias in order to deflect from his own work, casting doubt on the idea that only his heirs were editing the text. This is the most likely scenario. The audit will need to test this idea of a word level audit.

Otherwise there are 2 different men by the name Herod in the New Testament. The king at Joshua's birth, at Jerusalem, or else the King over Galilee at the time of the trial. In that latter case, Herod was both a Jewish king, but functioning as the local Roman governor. So perhaps this latter Herod was an editor?

The problem with this is that Ananias is detailed in the various lists of 6, even to how he was a false seer who was called to speak over Paul's eyes after Paul's Damascus Road event.

So, if inspired, Herod seems to be standing in for something else. Perhaps the warning involves the general writing of the Jews or perhaps writing from the Roman government more generally?

In terms of the national history of Russia, this is easier to understand. Russians are Orthodox Christian. This tradition avoided Jerome's vernacular translation into Latin from the Hebrew Old Testament. This translation work essentially split the theology of the Catholics away from the Orthodox. This was the historical yeast which Russia indeed avoided. That Latin translation then gave root to western Zionism which we see active in the world everywhere except Russia. The Russian expression of Zionism was the Bolsheviks, which Russia was eventually able to shed.

Because Latin translations of the Hebrew OT are where we get Zionism, this is in part also why only Russia can defeat Benjamin/Jerusalem. This follows the pattern of Judah defeating Benjamin late in Judges.

OK, this is a start. We likely just tripped over a word level addition. But let me continue with the story in Mark 8.

Left Overs

Joshua pushes the disciples again on both the feeding of the 5000 and the feeding of the 4000.

5 loaves were broken to produce food for 5000, leaving 12 baskets of left overs. Then 7 loaves were broken to produce food for 4000, and 7 baskets were left over.

Then Joshua demands, with apparently some frustration on his part, even now the disciples still do not understand.

I dare say I have never heard a Christian pastor ever give some sort of explanation for this either. Let me at least point at the domain of the answer.

Baskets are what lamps are placed on. (Matthew 5:15 hints at this.) The lamp is used as the pattern for a letter selection system at the start of the cipher process.

What I have shown on Telegram in the past as cipher disks have a more robust expression in the full set of exhibits themselves. The cipher disk basically shows how the Fig Tree is specifically assembled to match a particular cipher setting.

Another place to draw this is on the sides of baskets. These are light weight and would have been the preferred form in Moses' day. Clay pots are another item where the same system can be drawn. When drawn on the of the basket that artwork shows the branch settings that match letters that are around the rim of the basket.

The lids for those baskets become something like modern dials on electronics. They can be spun around to call out letter pairs.

When Joshua is discussing baskets of left overs he is discussing the numbers of ciphers involved. Each basket is a different cipher setting. This is the basic symbolic meaning of this story in Mark 8. But, it gets more complicated.

This specific story is written by difference. 12 baskets, so 12 ciphers, are left over in the feeding of the 5000. 7 baskets, so 7 ciphers, are left over in the feeding of the 4000. For readers here who may care, do a prime factors analysis on these numbers and you can see we are still missing some other key.

This passage in Mark seems to be calling out unused ciphers from a starting set of theoretical ciphers. That starting set is not actually given. But you can see the grammatical construction.

In summary, we have a base document. Then we cipher it to create the 5000, then we use the ciphers again to create another 4000. In the end, there are 3 groups of documents involved, not 2 as we think from only the feeding of the 5000 alone.

So the inspired text is classifying into 3 different document families. The first is the public inspired text currently buried within the Bible. The second document set is known as the 5000. Then there is a 3rd document set, known as the 4000.

Healing Blind Man

If you pick up the story at Mark 8:22 you will see a continuation of the story under the tribe of Judah. He heals a blind man, but it takes 2 tries.

In the Matthew Grand Run there are 2 blind men who are healed at the point in history of the national salvation of Russia at the start of the 1000 year reign.

So this double healing of blindness goes with the tribe of Judah just fine. As nations this might be pointing at the Slavic, orthodox, brothers of Russia and Ukraine. They have similar languages. Kiev is their shared city of religious heritage.

Joshua takes this blind man outside of town, so east to Russia, outside of Europe. For Joshua himself, outside of his own home town Nazareth to Capernaum in order to cipher the text.

The blind mind himself is a symbol for the basic inspired text otherwise kept across history inside the Bible. The inspired text must be taken out of the edited text. So moving out of town is symbolic for the audit.

Then, once in place, Joshua spits on his hands and rubs the blind man's eyes. At this first round of healing, the blind man can now see men, but the men he sees walking around are looking like trees.

This first stage in the healing is the first round of ciphers. The feeding of 5000. This is the first set of documents that cipher out from the inspired text.

So Joshua does this healing event again. On a second round, the blind man can finally see clearly. This is the second round of ciphers, and it creates a 3rd set of documents.

This healing story is here to provide the interpretation on the feeding of the 5000 and on the feeding of the 4000. Only when we have all of those documents can we see clearly.

Symbolic: Manuscripts

In previous blogs I have explained how we saw that there are a bunch of stories that use the base document and the additional writing as a pair of symbols. Butter and Honey is an example I have used in a recent blog.

But what happens if the feeding of the 4000 is also inspired?

This would symbolically suggest those 4000 are of the same nature as the 5000, they are recreated through a cipher process against the cleaned up text.

But, there may be something different between these document families. The first set makes the blind man see partially. The second set makes the blind man see clearly.

Indeed, it looks like there is a difference. This difference is captured in many of the lists of 3 found across the text.

Fished Out

I have previously explored the calling of the fishermen just before Joshua's ascension. In that story they have gone back to fishing. Joshua tells them to cast their net on the other side of the boat. There they catch fish.

This is a parable of the cipher process generally. The fishing net is symbolic of the threads used to keep the Fig Tree branches from falling over. They show the cipher paths across the standing tree.

But this final story of catching fish is the second time the men were called from the shore while they were fishing. The original calling of the fishermen came much earlier.

We have had a tension between Joshua doing cipher work himself and then the cipher work that the disciples are doing after his ascension. What was the difference?

Now we know.

Joshua ciphered the first set himself, with the help of his early disciples. Once he ascended they were set on the task of fishing out the second set, the 4000.

They had fished out the first side of the boat, the 5000, and then they went to work on the second set, the 4000.

Ascending to heaven does not appear dependent on knowing the 4000, as Joshua's own ascension demonstrates.

Lists of 3

For readers who may want to think about this more, all lists of 3 in the text, which Ryan is now marking with list of 3 enumerations, are references to these 3 document families.

There are many examples. Sometime those lists are dealing with their construction. Sometimes with their purpose. The second set of documents is generally considered prophetic. The third round of documents are generally about Eden and the skies. I will return to examples of these lists of 3 in a future blog. There are other urgent topics I need to cover this week.

Watch Dates

Recall, we are following the 2000th anniversaries of Joshua's life. But, we are using the historical timeline of the Bible as a day-for-a-year repetition that informs daily stories along this season of history.

Watch: Abimelek

2025-05-30, so the Friday this blog goes out, is the start of the next interval along that timeline. This is the first day of 3 days that map to the 3 year reign of Abimelek. The 3 year reference in question is given at Judges 9:22. Let me review the story.

The story of Abimelek begins at Judges 8:29. Abimelek is the son of a concubine who is fighting to gain power over the 70 other legitimate sons of his father Gideon. Abimelek eventually kills his brothers and rules.

This interval previously passed in 2001 and at the time there was no obvious headline. Of course I also was just starting out in this work and had no idea what the text actually meant, so more subtle headlines would have escaped me.

The reference to the 70 sons is likely an internal offset, or mercy delay, which I did not understand until after 911, which was later in 2001. Those 70 sons inform us that we should watch 70 days later for an obvious headline.

That offset lands near the start of Abdon Judging, see Judges 12:14. That period will replay from 2025-08-09 and finish on 2025-08-16.

In 2001, that 70 day offset would land in mid June of 2001. At that time there was a pair of summits. The first involved the leaders of the European Union meeting in Sweden and the other involved then US President Bush meeting in person with Putin.

For us, that would suggest waiting until mid August, 2025, and then to watch for something similar, probably a Trump/Putin summit, which Trump has been hinting he needs to fix Ukraine.

In any case, the story of Abimelek also involves the story of the trees. Those trees are seen fighting over who will rule. Those trees are the olive, fig, vine and bramble, which are parables for trees in the exhibits. Fire is said to come out of the bramble, symbolic of the 3d models kept in the Table, and responsible for the audit pattern. That tree burns out additions.

On the geopolitical front, the 70 sons of Gideon can be thought of as a match to the table of nations after Noah, they can also be thought of as Jacob's heirs who went down to Egypt. Those 70 now represent the whole world. So this is telling us that currently, people are fighting over who rules earth. The risk is that a son of a concubine will succeed.

Curious to note, beginning about a week ago, Ukraine starting launching long range missiles into Moscow. This went on for several nights and currently may total around 2000 European missiles targeted at Moscow.

Trump got himself into serious reputational trouble by blaming Putin's response, while not knowing that Putin only retaliated. Details on that follow in the headline section below. Those missile strikes may be the match to fire coming out from the trees. But we need to wait over this weekend to watch for something else.

Also worthy of noting, is that Abimelek is the illegitimate son of Gideon. Internal to the text, this is the same story as the merger of the tribe of Benjamin with the Jebusites, forming Jerusalem as we know it now. Netanyahu can thus also be seen as a prophetic Abimelek.

The Israel lobby's international banking cartel is ultimately the reason for war against Russia. They need Russia's natural resources to recapitalize their failing banks. They want to rule the world from Jerusalem and need to conquer and control both Russia and then China.

Netanyahu is also threatening to bring fire down on Iran, either himself alone, or using his American vassals, so this is yet another venue to watch. In Netanyahu's case he is bringing fire down nearly every day in other places, so that is not an obvious headline to spot. There is a reference to the cedars of Lebanon within this story, the river case, so perhaps something happens in Lebanon.

The final interesting story within Abimelek's time of ruling is the story of burning down the stronghold. It is told in Judges 9:46-49. In that story Abimelek takes wood branches and sets a fire against the stronghold at Shechem. Shechem was the spiritual capital of the ancient nation.

This story is a key story in the history of the text itself. That stronghold is where copies were made. It is at the Tabernacles location for the ancient nation that came out of Egypt. Burning it down marks the beginning of the end of the system of faith setup by Moses. After that date, it would survive only in a remnant form in a tent that would itself survive only until David's time.

Kiev is to the Russians as Shechem was to Moses, so again, the fight in Ukraine is a possible venue. Consolidating power to Jerusalem is another related theme.

The 3 days of Abimelek end on 2025-06-01. After that date we turn to Tola.

Watch: Tola

The next judge is Tola. He judged 23 years. The reference for this is in Judges 10:2.

The first day of the replay of those years is Monday, 2025-06-02. The last day of the replay is Tuesday, 2025-06-24.

There is essentially no narrative for Tola, so no stories that are interesting for this next interval. But, there is a reference to Issachar, so the former Yugoslavia, and there is a reference to the mount of Ephraim, so the modern UK.

The breakup of Yugoslavia in the late 1990s was done so "the west" could build a large military base for use in a future war against Russia. Another similar base is understood to be under construction in Romania, thus trouble with recent elections there. NATO is attempting to control the Black Sea via their military construction in Romania.

Also interesting to note, the Mount of Ephraim was the home of the priest who would eventually trigger the war that ended the tribe of Benjamin and created Jerusalem. But the key feature of that war was how Judah defeated Benjamin. Russia is the only party that can end this mess.

Computer Work

It is obvious that since our trip to Washington DC, that Ryan's work on the manuscript is moving quickly. He is lining out the stories that are most likely to be inspired. This started with Jude and then Philemon. Now he has most of the New Testament. This week he made good progress with Kings and the prophets Elijah and Elisha.

The text is getting ready for audit work, which needs to start here soon. This means the recovery problem is coming back my way here soon.

To this end I have felt an urgent need to work through various updates on our current computers. This began with my own laptop getting replaced. But then my attention turned to our "brief case" which holds our back office servers.

That brief case was last updated in 2020. I normally only use hard drives for 3 years, the length of their warranty. This time around they are approaching 5 years old. It is time for them to be replaced. It is also time for operating system upgrades and upgrades to some of the services running on those computers. So I started into that work this past week. Replacement drives have been ordered, updates should be done by next week.

Teleprompter

As part of this I pulled out the teleprompter that I built in late 2018 and which we used up into 2020. It has another computer buried within and I wanted to at least do a software upgrade on that machine too, making sure it was configured to match the upgrades in the brief case. I also needed to make sure it has current security keys.

Pulling this out and setting it up triggered some soul searching over use of that hardware. Should I keep it? Should I scrap it? Should I start using it again?

Teleprompters allow the creation of videos with excellent eye contact with viewers, so it is an interesting tool. We are going to have quite a story to tell here soon. It seemed best to keep it, and give it a little love and attention so it is ready when needed.

My 3d design skills are seriously better than in 2018. In assembling it again, I saw the need to reprint the parts related to how it mounts to the tripod. It was not originally designed for easy assembly and disassembly. Now it is. I also 3d printed the parts needed to cover over exposed circuit boards on the bottom. This had always bugged me in the past. Now I don't need to worry about small kids reaching up and touching exposed wiring, everything is now enclosed.

Readers here who were around in 2020 may remember the setup for live streams that we used in those days. It had tricky software to allow slideshows with only an audio stream. This was following a design from 2016, that allowed us to use our normal web servers as a media host. I had done online annual status meetings using that type of setup for several years. This worked, but does not scale well, it was labor intensive to setup and it was never archival quality.

These days, video sharing using 3rd party services is not hard to setup. Even Zoom would work. Just doing video streams is a better, simpler, goal. OBS is the software for either recording or hosting a live stream. The configuration for that app is still around and would not be hard to brush up.

With a few bits of new video capture hardware, I will configure the various parts to do simple recordings and live streams of anything that can be brought up on the teleprompter itself. This makes it easy to record videos that use all of our new fancy web apps, something hard to do in the past. It will sit ready for the day we have something to share.

Voron Filament Feeder

Also this week the filament feeder for the Voron printer was finished, at least through mechanical assembly and wiring. There is a friction issue on the idlers, but otherwise it is ready for software load and calibration.

This is my anticipated tool for 3d printing the Fig Tree which needs large format multiple color printing.

Surface Finishes

During the most recent reprint of Joseph's Robe, I was careful to use exactly the same type of plastic for the white surfaces on the robe. I did this with the hope that all of the panels on the robe would turn out looking the same.

I'd previously seen that each 3d printing filament manufacturer has a different color of white, like white paint at a Home Depot, each supplier has a slightly different color of white. So by carefully using the same source for white plastic I was hoping to get the squares to look exactly the same.

This did not work as I had hoped. Squares were still slightly different.

One fix to this would be to make the front 2 or 3 layers of plastic come from the same exact spool. This is not hard to setup on printers with filament changers. I thought of this strategy only deep into the Robe print. As a strategy, it would also work well for controlling dye lot issues even from the same manufacturer.

But, on close inspection, the problem was no longer the color of the plastic, but the fine grained finish on the top surface of the 3d parts. That surface is created on the final pass of the 3d print head as it passes over the part.

That finish is thus left behind in the 3d printing process, and is related to the orientation of the part on the 3d printer's bed. That surface causes light to reflect at different angles and thus makes the squares appear to be of different colors. This is caused, in part, when there has been any rotation between 3d printing and final part installation.

The Fix

I took the Robe when we traveled to eastern Washington a couple weeks ago. While there, I showed the Robe to a friend. She knew exactly what my problem was. Various types of fabric have the same problem. There is grain to the uppermost weave on some fabrics which cause them to reflect light differently depending on the exact surface and how light is reflecting off the fabric.

This surface grain on fabric is called "nap." So now I had a vocabulary word for what I was seeing on the 3d printed flat surfaces.

She also explained that when making dresses from printed patterns that care must be taken to ensure the nap is always in the correct orientation. This is done through the use of arrows printed on the paper patterns used by dress makers. Those arrows must always point in the same direction in order for the dress to turn out correctly, especially without issues related to the nap on the final product.

Once I knew the vocabulary, and the standard fix, I realized I needed to use the same fix on the 3d printed parts.

So this week I went through the design files for Joseph's Robe and for the Tribe exhibit. I added small marks on the backs of all the parts that have issues related to nap. Those marks point "up" on all the finished wall exhibits.

This process also changes the parts counts, as some parts that are otherwise the same shape must be marked differently. For example, the top left corner and bottom right corners of the robe are the same geometric shape. But they need different nap, so they need 2 different actual parts. The same problem exists all the way around the edges on these exhibits.

In order to completely control nap across the face of a finished exhibit, all of those up marks must be printed in the same orientation on the 3d printer bed. Ideally the parts would also all be printed on the same 3d printer. Also, ideally, with the same number of layers, and also ideally with exactly the same slicer configuration.

The pile of parts coming off the printer are now all marked with their orientation. So there is no risk during parts handling for them to be flipped around some how. For some letters, like Ha, Sa, Jo and Oo, this is a problem since those letters, and their parts, are otherwise symmetric up/down. So these letters previously messed up the nap just because of their symmetry.

Then, when those exhibits are assembled, every part has those marks on the back. They must be checked and placed correctly at final assembly, which is not hard to do. The final result should have complete control over nap.

Note: I have never seen anyone discussing this on Youtube channels related to 3d printing. Nobody seems to care about huge printing projects where this matters.

Jacob's Ladder

The designs were also finished this week for Jacob's Ladder. Some test prints were done to check how well those designs will grab the rope. This next exhibit will also be the first test of how well those new nap marks work in practice.

The ladder is going to also test more issues related to plastics and colors, and rope. Printing will start once we have all the various parts in the shop. Rope was ordered from Amazon late this week, but will take about 10 days to arrive. 3d printing needs to wait until I can check grip on that specific rope.

Treasure Chests

This week I also started the design work to understand the problems of corners for treasure chests. 4 such chests are implied by the Megiddo Mosaic floor. I would like to have them finished before moving on to some of the other exhibits so I have a place to store finished parts. The surface designs for the chests are not hard to work out.

My goal here is to mostly use the same 3d parts library as used on the quilt like objects, like the Robe, Ladder and Tribes. This will give a similar design style to the chests themselves. It will demonstrate they are all of the same design family.

The outer facing parts of individual chests must be 3d printed with their faces pointing up on the 3d printer bed. With this constraint, the nap should remain under control for all surfaces on each chest.

Getting the design setup so parts can always be printed face up is the first of several design challenges with these exhibits.

The trick is that on these treasure chests they form an overall 3d cube. The surface of each side comes together with the other sides using some new geometry. This is what I started to study in the design system this week. Still no strong inspiration as to the best final design, nor the internal parts needed to pull this off.

Headline Review

What follows are headlines that caught my attention this week.

Attack On Putin

The link here is to a Zero Hedge article dealing with the details of a Ukrainian attack on Moscow at the same time as Putin visited Kursk on May 25, 2025. Putin was in flight during a massive attack directed at Moscow, with airports in the Moscow area being struck. Targeting against Moscow is provided by the USA. Weapons are provided by the USA and Europeans. This is a Zionist war against Orthodox Christianity. NATO is now escalating the war.

Most western media treated this as a personal attack against Putin, and they also treated the retaliation as personal. The Russians were really defending Moscow, a huge city.

The Russians are also thought to be preparing for a summer offensive. The strikes on Moscow come from northern Ukraine. Russia will likely invade Ukraine to the south. Creating a safety buffer and capturing Odessa being important goals. So these Ukrainian missile strikes on Russia may have been calculated to draw resources away from the southern end of the line of contact.

In any case, the next day the Russians returned fire to a level not seen in many months. This return fire is what would get Trump in so much trouble.

Trump: Putin Crazy

The link here is to a May 26, 2025, X post by Lord Bebo showing the clip of Trump not understanding Putin's attack.

This clip seems to demonstrate that Trump is in some sort of informational cocoon. He should have known this was a Russian retaliation against NATO backed attacks on Moscow. He clearly does not know this, which got him into a world of trouble.

No Longer In Control

This link is to a Youtube Video where Col. Douglas Macgregor was on Daniel Davis' Deep Dive. This captures in about 13 minutes the reputational loss that Trump suffered from his comments.

Judge Nap: Alastair Crooke

There were many commentators who addressed that previous clip, but perhaps the best was Alastair Crooke who had been in Saint Petersburg and was now home. Crooke explains a bunch of points that we in the west might miss. Crooke gets emotional over this, and it looks like parts were edited out from the live stream.

The Russian public has given up on Trump as being able to end the American war against Russia using Ukraine as a proxy. Trump does not have enough power over the US Senate, 82 of which want war with Russia. Trump has no voice in Europe either. So the Russian public has now turned fully behind Putin and the Russian war in Ukraine. There is now public support in Russia to invade Ukraine itself. This has not been so since the start of the Special Military Operation.

My comment: This is the leading edge of World War III. It is becoming more evident to anyone watching. The hope placed in Trump on all sides to stop this is now fading. We can hope there is summit in August and some of this calms down.

Judge Nap: Larry Johnson

The link here is to another Judge Nap video on Youtube. This time an interview with Larry Johnson. Larry gives missile counts and other stats detailing what Moscow is dealing with. 1400 western missiles, as of that recording, had been fired against Moscow.

I dare say, if Mexico or Canada did the same to the USA, those countries would have seen much stronger American retaliation than Ukraine did from Russia.

Germany Against Russia

This is a post on X by RT showing the new German head of state endorsing the use of German weapons by Ukraine against Russia. Even a nitwit could easily see this is now just Nazi Germany reformed with a pretty face, back wanting to invade Russia, just like WWII.

The Russian public has every reason to see this soon coming war as a replay of World War II. The Russian government will have all the support it may want from its public to fight this war, even if that means bombing Germany.

Change in Death Handling

This link is to a long post by John Olooney, our favorite undertaker. In it, he explains changes in the UK's handling of the bodies of people who died suddenly. Coroners were usually called whenever someone died at home. The coroner would take the body to their facilities and do an inspection to check cause of death. Once the coroner was happy of no foul play, then they would call the undertaker.

Because the death rates continue to climb, the UK has changed the rules. Now the undertaker is called directly, provided the deceased died unexpectantly. Now, no coroner visits the house if the death was not expected.

This simplification saves time and trouble. This is also because they know the cause, vaccines. The death wave from those vaccines continues to climb. This was planned as a near extinction level event. It will continue. No amount of public disclosure nor debate will change the outcome.

Musk's Mars Talk

Super Cut

Elon Musk has left the White House and returned to his businesses in Texas. He was limited by law to 130 days. He is thought to remain an advisor to Trump.

Musk's first order of business was to oversee test launch 9 at Star Base, Texas. That flight lost altitude control and crashed in the Indian ocean. Better luck next time. With Musk's attention, maybe these various problems will get fixed a little quicker. He is also going to be starting robo taxi services in Austin in June, so he has plenty to keep him busy.

As part of the planned events around that test flight Musk gave a talk on the current status and future plans for missions to Mars. The top link here is to the full talk on X. The second is to a super cut, so no gaps for applause, on Youtube.

Musk is hoping to see the first unmanned missions to Mars late in 2026. These flights are gated by the Mars transfer windows which happen about every 26 months. 2026 may be aggressive considering they are still shaking down basic ship design. After the 2028 transfer window, reaching Mars becomes trouble. That problem is not technical, but political. By 2029 we reach the season of war. The movie Planet of the Apes may have been prophetic for Musk's first manned mission to Mars.

Musk discusses the Archadia region of Mars as the target area for initial landings. This is north and east of Olympus Mons, the great high mountain referenced at the end of Revelation. Musk looks to be putting initial Mars colonies at least on the correct side of Mars.

Gaza Cease Fire?

For the record, Hal Turner posted on May 29, 2025, that Trump's special envoy had reached the basic terms for a cease fire in Gaza.

I could not find this mentioned on any other media, either that day nor on May 30. I also have trouble believing that Israel is in any way agreement capable. Doing deals with the father of lies is not a path to success.

But, this is at the end of the general season of peace punctuated by war, and such a headline would mark a significant milestone for this transition in the timeline.

More Later,

Phil
