1 Kings 14-16: Blind prophet sees through disguise; Egypt steals king's gold; Evil northern kings.
Jeroboam's son, Abijah, is deathly sick, and he sends his wife, in disguise, to see Ahijah (the prophet who had predicted his reign) to ask for help for his son.
Ahijah is now blind, but God informs him of her trip and when she arrives, he simply calls out, "Greetings wife of Jeroboam."
He then proceeds to give her a message for Jeroboam from God, claiming that her visit was God's doing.
He tells her that because of Jeroboam's wickedness, their son will die the moment she returns home.
There follows a string of wicked kings in the Northern Kingdom up to King Ahab. Their reigns are short, treacherous, and filled with occasional punishments from God.
In the south, Rehoboam is attacked by Egypt, who demands all of Solomon's gold. To save the kingdom, Rehoboam gives all of the Gold swords, shields, and weapons from his "Forest of Lebanon" armory. He then quickly makes bronze duplicates, polishes them, and acts like nothing happened.
Rehoboam eventually dies and is replaced by King Asa. In the southern Kingdom, God's mercy is shown in that the dynasty of King David is preserved.

Ecclesiastes 11-12: Conclusion: Life is an Adventure, a Gift, a School, and a Responsibility
Місяць тому
Solomon concludes his study with the admonition that life can be enjoyed as an adventure when it is an adventure of faith in God. He uses financial investments and farming as examples of diversifying life and trusting on God for the outcome. Since circumstances will never be perfect for a venture, risk, entrepreneurship, and 'redeeming the time' are great ways of enjoying life. Don't waste time...

Solomon now suggests that the best way to deal with impending death is to endure and enjoy. And the best way to do this is: happy leisurely meals (v. 7), joyful family celebrations (v. 8), a faithful, loving marriage (v. 9), and hard work (v. 10). He then talks about how life is unfair the strongest doesn't always win, the smartest isn't always listened to, and that "time and chance" are a real...

Ecclesiastes 4-6: Futility of the oppressed, emptiness of religion, and the joylessness of riches
2 місяці тому
Solomon turns his attention from the futility of his own life to the emptiness of the lives of others. He first looks at the oppressed (through the lens of corrupt courtrooms) and finds no benefit or upside to their trials. There are 3 aspects: 1. oppression and exploitation 2. pain and sorrow of the innocent 3. callousness and unconcern from those who chose not to bring comfort. He then moves ...

King Solomon (The Preacher) begins with the realization that everything is ultimately meaningless. Earth, Wind, Sun, and Water all go through their cycles, and nothing ever changes. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon presents a worldview that is "Under the Sun" a worldview that is human and absent any divine revelation. That is why I call it a "God's-eye view of Atheism". Technically, Solomon is wise eno...

Thank you so much for this. I really hope the band members will listen to this interpretation.
Amazing man
WOW!
Holy smokes! Breaking All Illusions is my favorite DT song and this blew my mind. No sheet music and personal arrangement? All in one take? Unbelievable.
Thanks so much! Labor of love.
Stunned by your work on this song, but perhaps more by your immense catalogue of Bible material on your channel. Thanks for this amazing cover, bless you and your family sir
Thanks! God bless!
@@jonsaboe5372 No problem!
Brother! That's so good! Where you from?
Thanks! I live with my wife in Baltimore, MD.
Legendary

This was fantastic... DT should definitely see this.
Chapeau!!! What an Excellent performance sir!!!
Glad you liked it!
👏👏👏 awesome
Pretty impressive performance of such a hell of a difficult piece! Congrats on both the playing and the transcription mate 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Major props. This song breaks my brain every time I try to actively listen to it.
How much time did it take you to prepare for this?
Hi! I had some time every week at the music studio -- just a little over a year.
Охуеть! Просто невероятно 🔥 Thank you UA-cam for your suggestion. Finally great stuff!
Thoroughly enjoyed this!

Amazing!
Thanks!
Groso!!!!!
As a Dream Theater fan, this is one of the best things I've ever listened to in my whole life. You got me in tears. You're a legend. Thank you
I agree, this is my favorite song by dream theater. I have listened to it in numerable times and have it memorized, and to see this gentleman play it so accurately is a real Joy.
Thanks so much! It really is a moving piece.
Arrangement deserves respect, but performance is raw, too far from public playing.
Agreed. I had limited time and eventually had to settle for what I could do -- my recording options were quickly disappearing. Thanks!
How long it took to practice this? Great playing
Fantastic job!!
Thank you!
Wow! Awesome job! 🤘Dream theater 🤘
Thanks a lot!
Incredible!
Awesome cover!! This needs more views
Appreciate it!!
Okay this deserves way more views. Magical! Well done! That pre-solo bit at 6:10 is heavenly.
That is a great guitar solo if I've ever heard one.
you are a dream theater man, this is amazing perfect!
Thanks so much!
Very nice arrangement - glad I stumbled across this
Glad you like it!
Suddenly it sounds like ELP
Tranquilamente podría ser un solo de Keith Emerson
His fingers are playing more than the piano. Awesome!
This was absolutely amazing playing Breaking all illusions is such a wonderful song
Thanks so much. Yes, an amazing song!
🔥🔥
This is incredible! As lifelong DT fan, I find your rendition absolutely beautiful 😍 great work!
Thank you so much!
Incredible!!! All by memory and no sheet music - wow!!!
Amazing arrangement, having to account for all the parts with just the two hands! The use of the very low piano notes to simulate the distorted guitar jabs is interesting. And you reminded me of the very first time I heard this song, the amazement that it had somehow transmuted into a ragtime for eight bars and then switched back as if nothing had happened!
Same here. I just love the structure of this piece! Beethoven Piano Sonata 32 has a brief ragtime sounding section as well.
Impossible 😮
