But beware of slumbering; and every moment pray that you may be fully strengthened to escape from all these coming evils, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of Man” (Weymouth New Testament).

An article by Benjamin Brimelow titled “A Shadowy Fight Between Israel and Iran Is at Risk of Becoming a Bigger War; Here’s How Their Militaries Stack Up” was posted at businessinsider.com on Aug. 8, 2021. Following is the article. ______

Last week, two civilian crew members aboard the oil tanker Mercer Street were killed when so-called suicide drones detonated above its bridge as it sailed in the Arabian Sea. The vessel is registered in Liberia and owned by a Japanese firm, but it is managed by the London-based company Zodiac Maritime, which is owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer. It is the first time civilians have been killed in a shadowy battle between Israel and Iran. Israeli, US, and UK officials have blamed Tehran, which has denied involvement. On Friday, the US military said the drones used were “nearly identical” to others used by Iran in the past. The deaths, coming amid ongoing tensions and political uncertainty after elections in Israel and Iran, have raised concerns that this could escalate into an overt war between two of the region’s most capable militaries. 2 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com

Iran has responded to the accusations by saying that it “will respond promptly and strongly to any possible adventure,” while Israel’s defense minister on Thursday said Israel was “at a point where we need to take military action against Iran.” Quality vs. quantity On paper, Iran’s military has a number of advantages over Israel, particularly in the size of its military. Iran’s population of 84 million is much larger than the roughly 9 million people in Israel, allowing Iran to field an active-duty force of 525,000 troops, compared to Israel’s 170,000. Iran, which relies on irregular and asymmetric warfare on land and at sea, has invested heavily in its paramilitary forces; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy together comprise over a million troops, while Israel has only a few thousand comparable forces. Iran also has a larger Navy, more tanks and armored vehicles, and greater access to fuel. But Israel has a qualitative edge. Iran has been prevented from buying the best foreign equipment by international sanctions, which have also inhibited Iran’s development of a defense industrial base. Iran’s tank force, for instance, is mostly T-72s and Iranian copies of the T-54 and T-55, which are widely considered inferior to the Israeli Defense Force’s Merkava Mark IV, which is seen as one of the best-armored tanks in service and has completely modern electronics, including the Trophy Active Protection System. Iran’s domestically designed tanks, like those of the Zulfiqar series and the new Karrar MBT, are also either based on outdated designs or hindered by Iran’s industrial limitations. Iran’s Navy is larger and is modernizing but still has shortcomings. Israel’s Navy, thanks to a robust domestic defense industry and access to US and European suppliers, has advanced missiles and vessels, including submarines with air-independent propulsion systems. Israel’s air force is larger than Iran’s and has long been regarded as one of the best in the world. The IAF’s primary fighting force consists of 66 F-15s, 175 F-16s, and at least 27 F-35 stealth fighters. The IAF expects to get another 23 F-35s by 2024 and plans to have 75 in total. In comparison, the backbone of Iran’s air force (IRIAF) is 63 F-4s and 26 F- 14s, all of which are aging and suffer from lack of spare parts. (Iran is the only country that operates the US-made F-14.) Iran does have about 59 Chinese and Russian models—including 19 MiG-29s and 23 Su-24s from Russia and 17 F-7s from China—but the IRIAF’s domestic fighters are copies of US jets from the 1960s. Nuclear weapons Israel and Iran’s conventional forces may not be the only ones used in a conflict. Israel is believed to have at least 90 nuclear warheads and enough plutoni- Churchofgodbigsandy.com Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 / 3 of 38 um for 100 or 200 more weapons. It can deliver those weapons by aircraft or with missiles. (Israel has one of the region’s most advanced missile arsenals.) Israel’s Jericho III intermediate-range ballistic missile is believed to have a range between 3,000 miles and 4,000 miles. Israel can likely also launch nuclear-armed cruise missiles from its Dolphin-class submarines, which are believed to operate near the Persian Gulf. Iran pursued nuclear capabilities in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and while Tehran says it doesn’t seek nuclear weapons now, its recent enrichment activity has raised questions about its true aims. (Israeli officials frequently accuse Iran of being weeks or months away from producing nuclear weapons.) A 2015 deal signed by Iran and five Western countries would have limited Iran’s nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the accord in 2018 and took a hardline approach to Iran, including additional sanctions. Iran, blaming the US for reneging on the agreement, has since begun violating it. Iran also continues to improve its missile arsenal, with at least 18 models of cruise and ballistic missiles with ranges from 200 miles to 2,000 miles that are either operational or in development. Iran has already launched missiles at targets in Saudi Arabia and at US military bases in Iraq. A regional war US Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Basham and other US Air Force members arriv- ing in Israel for Juniper Falcon, July 23, 2021. Israel also has another advantage that Iran does not: allies. The US and Israel have an extremely close relationship, cooperating on military and intelligence issues—especially Iran. The two countries hold two alternating biennial exercises, Juniper Cobra and Juniper Falcon. The most recent Juniper Falcon exercise concluded last week. “The US has a long-standing and steadfast commitment to the people of Israel and their right to self-defense,” Lt. Gen. Steven Basham, deputy com- mander of US Air Forces in Europe and Africa, said at the exercise. Israel may also receive tacit support from Arab Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both of which are extremely wary of Iran. Iran has a network of proxies, most notably the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which has operations across the region and around the world. These forces don’t have the capabilities of Israel or its partners but could still have an effect on a conflict. Israel regularly strikes Hezbollah targets in Syria, and the US has launched strikes against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. A war between Israel and Iran, then, is highly likely to spill over into other parts of the region and world. The consequences of such escalation may restrain both sides. 4 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com

That means the shadow war will likely continue, with both countries relying on their intelligence services, airpower, and naval forces to hit each other’s assets at sea and on land when there is an opportunity to do so without sparking a broader conflict.

An article titled “Black Market for Fake Vaccine Certificates Reaches New Peaks, While Delta Variant Keeps Spreading Globally” was posted at checkpoint.com on Aug. 10, 2021. Following are excerpts of the article. ______

Check Point Research continues to monitor the dark marketplace in which covid-19 Vaccine certifications are sold to anyone willing to pay. Prices have reduced, now ranging between $100-120. Darknet advertisements for covid- 19 vaccines have increased and groups advertising selling certificates contain sometimes up to 450K people. Fake ‘vaccine passport’ certificates on sale for $100-120. Majority of the fake certificates sold from European countries. Also on sale: The EU Digital covid certificate, CDC and NHS Covid vaccine cards and fake PCR covid-19 tests. Volume of advertisement groups and groups sizes publishing sellers mul- tiplied by hundreds percent since the beginning of 2021. Background The covid-19 pandemic is here and apparently never left, and furthermore- it seems it does not show signs of wearing off or slowing down. As of the beginning of August, there have been reports of 623K new cases daily, with 4.43B doses of vaccines given around the globe, which makes 15.4% of the world’s population fully vaccinated. While the time for summer vacations is here, people are seeking ways of getting to such vacations, and this becomes a very complicated task. In Singapore, government has decided to relax restrictions in 2 phases this month. Italy introduced a new digital health certificate, which allows holders to access cultural and gastronomic activities. Australia released details of its reopening plans, Japan extended its state of emergency in several cities, US remaining the Mexican and Canadian borders closed until at least the end of August and England suspended it’s quarantine policy for vaccinated travelers from the US and EU. Across all continents, it is obvious that covid vaccines are the key to this steel lock that refuses to remain free. However- vaccine skeptical population isn’t wearing down and continues to grow across continents, taking its toll and slowing the global effort to mass vaccinate the world’s population against the virus. France is one of the most vaccine-skeptical counties, and according to a recent survey, four in ten people in France said they definitely or probably won’t get Churchofgodbigsandy.com Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 / 5 of 38 vaccinated against Covid-19. Germany saw a massive anti-vaccine movement and reports show that about a third of American adults are resisting the vaccine. On sale: Certificates for every country In our previous March report, we detailed how Check Point Research observed a trend of fake ‘vaccine passports’ certificated are being sold online across the Darknet for $250, and that Darknet adverts for covid vaccines spike to new levels. We have mostly presented certificates being sold from the US, UK and Germany. Currently our researchers spotted fake certificates from all around the world, where the majority are coming from Europe, with certificate fakes of the NHS certificate, the EUDCC (EU Digital Covid Certificate), and other countries such as Greece, Netherlands, Italy, France and Switzerland related certifications. Furthermore we’ve seen examples of certificates for the US, Pakistan and Indonesia. Anti-vax movement is gaining momentum While previous reports showed sporadic, though expending, numbers of advertisements on the darknet, our researchers now see an exponent growth in volumes of followers and subscribers to groups and channels offering and advertising covid- 19 certifications and other means to bypass the need to physically get the vaccine, while “enjoy” the benefits of vaccinated population. (These benefits might include boarding planes, accessing cultural and crowded events, getting work etc.) The advertisements specifically state that the seller “provide registered vaccine certificates . . . for all those who don’t want to take the vaccine.” Save the world from “poisonous vaccine” The channels we spotted offer the “service” and even detail it’s actual impact. They advertise: “With our cards you can travel and work.” The sellers often state that the certificates are ‘verified’ and invites the buyers to take simple steps in order to place an order. They advertise: “All you need to do is let us know what country are you from and what you want.” The sellers offers to contact them via Telegram, WhatsApp or email, and payments can be transferred through PayPal and Crypto currency (Bitcoin/ monero, doge coin and others). We’ve also seen many sellers that do not forget to state anti-vaccination statements like the following. “You don’t need to take the jab (vaccine) to have the certificate.” “We are here to save the world from this poisonous vaccine.” “Stay away from the vaccine and be safe while we continue this fight.” Tips for awareness The Darknet functions primarily as the black market of the Internet and is typically involved in transactions involving drugs, cyber-weapons, forgery and 6 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com more. We recommend people not to engage with sellers publishing on such groups or marketplaces published in the Darknet. Every country should internally manage a central repository of tests and vaccinated people, which can and should securely be shared between relevant authorized only bodies within the country. All ‘green passes’ and vaccination certificates should be managed and encrypted in a secured way by the relevant official bodies within each country and allow a QR code to be scanned and authenticate it Countries should cooperate to share info regarding such data and create a secured repository with encryption keys, to allow people to roam using legit only certifications and to be able to detect forged and fake ones ★★★★★

An article by Craig Cheatham titled “Hamilton [Ohio] County Judge Orders Man to Get Covid-19 Shot as Condition of Probation” was posted at wcpo.com on Aug. 5, 2021. Following is the article. ______

Brandon Rutherford wore a face mask Wednesday as he stood in front of a Hamilton County judge to be sentenced for his recent drug conviction. “I had the mask on because I heard the covid numbers were back up,” Rutherford told the WCPO 9 I-Team. Rutherford, 21, said Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Wagner asked him questions. “He asked me, was I vaccinated?” Rutherford said. “I told him no. And he asked me if I planned to get vaccinated, and I told him no.” 10 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com

Rutherford said that’s when Wagner ordered him to get a covid-19 vaccine shot within two months as a condition of Rutherford’s community control, which is often called probation. “I don’t plan on getting it. I don’t want it,” Rutherford said. “So, for him to tell me that I have to get it in order for me to not violate my probation is crazy because I’m just trying to do what I can to get off this as quickly as possible, like finding a job and everything else, but that little thing can set me back.” Rutherford’s attorney, Carl Lewis, stood next to his client during sentencing. “When you hear that, you’re like, ‘Whoa, I don’t think the judges are within their powers to do that,’ ” Lewis said. Lewis told the I-Team this is the first time he’s heard of a Hamilton County judge ordering someone to get the covid vaccine. On Rutherford’s court papers, there’s a question mark next to the judge’s requirement for Rutherford to get vaccinated. “If he truly believes that he’s within authority to order the individual to get a vaccine, then we’ll have a legal issue to address,” Lewis said. The I-Team sent the judge’s staff an email and left two phone messages requesting comment on the court order, but they did not respond. “It’s not like I’m out here getting into any more trouble or anything like that,” Rutherford said. “But because I don’t take a shot, they can send me to jail. I don’t agree with that.”

An article by Cliff Spectre titled “Three Socialist Policies in the United States” was posted at americanthinker.com on Aug. 10, 2021. Following is the article. ______

Years ago, socialism was described as government control of the factors of production—land, labor, and capital. Communism was government ownership, rather than simply control, of the means of production. This contrasted with our system in the United States, which was based on private, not government, control and ownership of the means of production. But do we still have that system of ownership free from government? Think about the following three stories: Biden Administration Approves Rules Forcing Companies to hire Minority, LGBTQ+ Executives And Publicly Disclose Diversity. Biden to announce a target for 50% electric vehicle sales as he unveils stricter emissions rules. CDC Director Extends the Eviction Moratorium for 30 days. Churchofgodbigsandy.com Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 / 11 of 38

Forced Diversity Hiring If you have a company, and you need to hire someone, you need to get the best person possible. Let’s say you own an NBA team. The object is to win a championship. You have coaches and scouts and try to get the best five play- ers you can. Are you going to look at that team and start assigning quotas to fill? Are you going to require at least one representative from each of the major sub-races—African, Caucasian, and Asian? Are you going to make sure you have an atheist, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu, and a Christian on the team? And for good measure, even though there is no difference between men and women now, other than a state of mind, at least one woman? That sounds silly, doesn’t it? So forget about the philosophical arguments on whether the government should have the power to do this. Think about how ridiculous the concept in general is. Merit and performance should be the deciding factor, not what they look like, what kind of sexual activities they engage in, or what group they’re in. Electric Vehicle Target If you have a flat tire, would you want Joe Biden or Kamala Harris to fix it? I question whether they’d even know how to drive a car, much less know how it works. Yet some people are fully supportive of this administration telling not only car companies, but car-buyers what kind of car they are going to manufacture and drive. The communist Chinese, per Tristan Justice in The Federalist, make 70 to 80 percent of the world’s battery chemicals, battery anodes, and battery cells. Are our masters going to promote the expansion of American mining to reduce that dependency? Don’t hold your breath on that one. What a great way to give the Chicoms an “attaboy” for releasing a biological war agent on the world population. Makes sense though. I mean, how much have the Chicoms invested in the Biden family? They should get some kind of return. Again, forget the arguments about whether the government should do this. The consequences have not been thought through. Buying all these batteries will enrich our enemy. There’s also the environmental problem with what to do with the batteries once they wear out. It’s another idea that may sound good on the surface but falls on its face when you begin to consider more aspects of the idea. Rental Property Now we have a third question. If you are a property-owner renting out a house or apartment, what will you do if the government forces you to let someone live in that residence for free? If you’re rich, I guess you’ll make it through. If you’re retired and renting the dwelling to supplement your income because you were not fortunate enough to have landed a government job for thirty years and have a nice pension, you may not fare so well. On top of that, though, the CDC is the Centers for Disease Control. It’s sup- posed to be smart on diseases—not smart on the control part of their name. Why should the CDC have anything to do with telling someone how much rent to charge? (This question is separate from the fact that these people lack the constitutional authority to do so.) 12 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com

Again, you have a case of people who are trying to run an industry they know nothing about. It’s funny what the CDC worries about, isn’t it? These people make their thoughts known when it comes to evictions, but the fact that thousands of people with the Chicom flu are coming across the southern border doesn’t elicit a peep from them. Makes you wonder. Does not have authority There are so many things wrong here. The federal government, unless we change the Constitution, does not have the authority to force companies to hire certain breeds or groups of people. It does not have the authority to tell manufacturers and consumers what to make or what to buy. And the Centers for Disease Control has no purview and certainly no authority to tell landlords and tenants how to contract. The fact that these things are happening shows the long-running effects of a corruptocracy and an apathetic population. But beyond the chronic law- breaking of the government, these ideas are all something that wouldn’t be expected from even the village idiot once you stop and think about them. ★★★★★

An article by Amy Wadas titled “Pediatricians: Social Distancing, Mask-Wear- ing Affecting Child Development” was posted at cbspittsburgh.com on Aug. 6, 2021. Following is the article. ______

Playing with your peers is an important part of child development. However, kids aren’t socializing as much due to the pandemic, which doctors say is leading to concerning outcomes. “We’ve seen some language delays and more social anxiety. The inability of a child to leave their parent and go play with other children,” said System Chair of Pediatrics at AHN, Dr. Joseph Aracri. Dr. Joseph Aracri said this is the case particularly for toddlers. “What happens in that phase of child development is when a child is leaving their parents. They’re trying to separate from their parents and figure out their own identity. Why they throw temper tantrums,” said Dr. Aracri. Doctors say quarantining doesn’t make things easier. This is why Philip Oskoui put his 4-year-old son in preschool. “We felt it was important to go to school and socialize with other children because there are things like falling off a climbing structure and learning how to settle differences,” said Oskoui. On top of socializing, pediatricians say masks can make it difficult for small children to understand what someone is saying. “Things like inflection, reading social cues, facial expressions. We are seeing a delay in that as well. These children are misinterpreting what’s going on around them,” said Dr. Aracri. What should parents do? Pediatricians suggest getting your kids outside when the weather is nice, to play with other kids in places like the playground. That way they get the chance to socialize and have fun at the same time. However, if you feel more comfortable keeping your little ones at home, doctors say there are other things to consider. “Then create a pod. You have a couple parents that have children. Everybody who can be vaccinated are vaccinated and allow those children to play together in a safe environment without masks,” said Dr. Aracri. If you’re noticing any developmental delays with your child, health experts say talk to your pediatrician. ★★★★★

This is the most important commentary I’ve ever written. It’s time for alarm bells. It’s time for me to play the part of Paul Revere: “The communist tyrants and dictators are coming! The communist tyrants and dictators are coming!” They’re coming first for unvaccinated Americans. This is 1938. I’m a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938. No, it’s not the Holocaust. Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust. Ever. But 1938 was not the Holocaust. It was the pre-Holocaust. It was the time before the nightmare, when the foundation was being laid to destroy the freedom, free speech, businesses and lives of millions of Jews. Everything happening today to the American people . . . to the U.S. Consti- tution . . . to freedom . . . and particularly to unvaccinated Americans re- minds me of 1938. This is only the beginning. It gets much worse from here. First, “the papers.” Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are just like 1938, when the Gestapo demanded papers from every German. Republicans asked for “papers” from migrants who had broken into our country. Criminals. Democrats said, “No, that’s racism.” Republicans asked for “papers” once every two years for federal elections, to prove you have a right to vote. Democrats said, “No, that’s racism.” Now Democrats want American citizens, not illegal aliens, not criminals, but patriots born in this country, to produce papers 24/7. We’ll need papers to enter restaurants, bars, nightclubs, concerts, casinos, conventions and hotels and to board a train, plane or bus. We’ll need papers to enter a supermarket, or we’ll starve to death. All for the crime of being unvaccinated against . . . wait for it . . . The flu. All for the crime of being unwilling to inject an untested, rushed to production, experimental, “for emergency use only” shot into our bodies. What happened to the war cry of Democrats: “My body, my choice”? It only applies to murdering babies, but it doesn’t apply to dangerous experimental shots that we don’t want injected into our bodies. Weren’t Jews injected with experimental drugs by the depraved Nazi government? Wasn’t that a key part of the Nuremberg trials? That no government could ever again inject experimental shots into the bodies of unwilling citizens? Isn’t that a basic human right? By the way, this isn’t about vaccines. If you want the vaccine, take it. I’d never stop you. I’d never limit your freedom, your choice. This is about vaccine mandates—forcibly injecting Americans who don’t want it. That’s 1938. But there’s much more in common with 1938. Mask mandates. If you’re scared, wear them. I’m not scared. I don’t want to wear them. Mandates are about Churchofgodbigsandy.com Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 / 15 of 38 forcing individuals to lose their freedom, choice, individuality and human rights. That’s 1938. Lockdowns are a match with the Warsaw Ghetto. Jews were locked down. Jews couldn’t work. Jews couldn’t travel. Jewish businesses were labeled “nonessential.” If government can force us to close our businesses, to kill our jobs, to decide who is nonessential, then this is 1938. Stars on clothing. It’s coming. The vaccinated get into restaurants, bars, concerts, supermarkets, planes and trains. They keep their jobs. The rest of us are marked as “subhuman” for life. That’s the star. That’s 1938. Media and social media as the public-relations wing of the government. That’s called propaganda. Remind you of 1938? Back then, the Jews’ books were burned. Today, it’s those of conservatives, patriots and specifically the unvaccinated. We are silenced. Our facts are labeled “misleading.” Only the facts that agree with big government’s agenda count. That’s 1938. Door-to-door intimidation and making lists of those who disagree with “government knows best.” Trust me, that army of door-to-door vaccine brainwashers will soon be turned into a Gestapo of gun-grabbers. 1938 was the year Nazis banned Jews from owning guns. They took them door to door. That’s 1938. Only days ago, a former Department of Homeland Security official said the unvaccinated should be on the federal no-fly list. That’s exactly how Nazis attacked the Jews and others who disagreed with their agenda. It was always lists. Lists of people to be disappeared in the middle of the night; lists of those to be sent to reeducation camps; lists of those to be sent to concen- tration camps; lists of enemies of the state. It’s happening again. Maybe this time you’ll only lose your job or free speech. This is, again, 1938. It’s all disgusting and disgraceful. But I’m warning you, this is just the start. It’s all going downhill from here—fast. This is the end of America. This is 1938. Unless we stop it now. Unless we take a stand now. Unless we draw a line in the sand now. First, they came for the unvaccinated. Trust me: Next, they’re coming for you.

An article by Joseph Clark titled “Alan Dershowitz Rips Dominion Case [Against Mike Lindell] at Cyber Symposium” was posted at washingtontimes.com on Aug. 12, 2021. Following is the article. ______

High-profile defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz Thursday berated a federal court’s decision to allow Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.3 billion lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to go forward. 16 of 38 / Eye on the World • Aug. 14, 2021 Churchofgodbigsandy.com

Mr. Dershowitz‘s comment came during an appearance at Mr. Lindell‘s Cyber Symposium, where Mr. Lindell had promised to present “irrefutable” proof that China hacked the 2020 election. A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the voting machine manufacturer’s lawsuit against Mr. Lindell could proceed, despite Mr. Lindell‘s requests to dis- miss the suit on First Amendment grounds. “The opinion yesterday, I believe does considerable damage to freedom of speech,” Mr. Dershowitz said. Mr. Dershowitz is a member of the legal team representing Mr. Lindell in the case. Dominion alleged in February that Mr. Lindell made defamatory statements about the company by claiming their voting machines switched votes in favor of President Biden. In June, Mr. Lindell filed a $1.6 billion countersuit citing the First Amendment and claiming that Dominion had infringed on his right to free speech. “And now we have the court and the government engage in censorship as well because the court yesterday put its imprimatur on censorship by allowing this case to go forward,” Mr. Dershowitz said. “It should never have been allowed to go forward against Mike Lindell and MyPillow because they expressed views which not only in my opinion but in the opinion of other emi- nent constitutional scholars who are with me on the briefs are completely protected by the First Amendment.” ★★★★★

Isaiah 55:6-11—“Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. ‘For My thoughts are not you thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
