The concept of "6,000 years to rule" refers to a prophetic understanding within Jewish and Christian traditions that the world will operate under human governance for approximately 6,000 years, followed by a 1,000-year era of divine rule, often associated with the return of the Messiah or a Messianic Age. This idea stems from the Genesis creation narrative, where each of the six days of creation is interpreted as symbolizing a thousand-year epoch, culminating in the seventh day of rest.

Origins of the Concept

The "Cosmic Week" Theory: The foundation of this concept is the interpretation of the Genesis account of creation as a prophetic blueprint. The six days of creation, followed by God's rest on the seventh day, are seen to represent 6,000 years of human history and a subsequent 1,000-year era of rest.

Biblical Support: The idea is supported by passages such as 2 Peter 3:8, which states, "But do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day," a verse often cited to link the six days of creation with 6,000 years of human history.

Jewish Tradition: The Talmud contains traditions that the world will exist for 6,000 years, followed by a thousand-year period known as the Millennial Sabbath or Messianic Era.

Implications and Beliefs

Human Rule and Divine Rule: Under this understanding, the 6,000 years of human history are seen as a period of human effort and rule, which is nearing its completion.

The Seventh Millennium: The subsequent 1,000-year period is expected to usher in a time of divine rule, peace, and righteousness, marking the end of human government and the beginning of Christ's rule under a Messianic Age.

A Time of Transformation: This transition is not expected to be gradual but rather marked by significant events, often described as "time of trouble" or the "footsteps of the Messiah" in Jewish tradition.

 Truth & Knowledge: Episode 82 – “Love Is a Commandment”

"Blessed and Alive – September 2, 2025" by Trey Knowles is an allegorical comedy about a wealthy, corrupt ruler whose life was spared by God. Instead of showing mercy in return, the ruler took the lives of others. Through this parable, Trey Knowles explains his own fear of fishing, saying the devil does not spare lives but blows people out of the water." On September 15, 2025, the wicked ruler does another missile strike. 🔑 Key Themes in the Routine Gratitude vs. Wickedness 🙏 Trey contrasts those who give glory to God for being spared with those who, despite being spared, show no mercy to others. Parable of the King 👑 The king survives a sniper’s bullet but vows to destroy others instead of sparing them. Trey uses this as a metaphor for leaders or powerful people who survive crises yet continue exploiting others. Personal Twist 🎣 After the heavy parable, Trey lightens the mood by joking about being afraid to go fishing with his friends—saying the devil doesn’t “spare lives” but “blows people out of the water.” This exaggeration ties back to the theme of life, death, and divine protection.

Trey Knowles’ “You” delivers a raw and honest message, calling out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. The song challenges listeners to examine whether their faith is genuine or just empty works—reminding us that without love, everything amounts to nothing.

Trey Knowles’ song "Hear Me Now", inspired by Isaiah 1, delivers a powerful warning to America, portraying the nation as rebellious against God. It calls for national repentance and a return to justice and righteousness, warning of destruction if the people continue in corruption and sin. The message urges moral restoration and obedience to avoid divine judgment. 

Trey Knowles’ “Azazel the United States 5-Star General” is an allegorical comedy that blends humor with sharp social commentary. In the story, the U.S. 5-Star General becomes possessed by the demon Azazel, who also infiltrates the minds of powerful tech leaders like Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey. Under Azazel’s influence, they push forward AI-driven weaponry designed for humanity’s destruction.

Knowles uses satire to urge audiences to recognize the distinction between humans and mankind—those made in God’s image versus those who may be corrupted by Azazel’s spirit. The result is a comedy that is both thought-provoking and darkly funny, leaving readers to question who—or what—might really be controlling influential figures like Musk and Luckey.

Anduril: Transforming Defense Capabilities Through Advanced Technology

Modern American inventors, such as Palmer Luckey, have become central figures in reshaping global military power—not always for the better. Some argue that this new generation of technologists, driven by innovation but detached from moral or spiritual grounding, are creating weapons not to preserve peace but to inflict destruction. The proliferation of advanced technologies in warfare raises critical ethical concerns about the role of human values in defense innovation.

The future of military power is shifting. It will rely less on traditional platforms like ships and aircraft, and more on software engineering, AI, and data-driven systems. Anduril Industries represents this shift. Unlike conventional defense contractors that emphasize physical hardware, Anduril’s core lies in Lattice OS—an autonomous sensemaking and command-and-control system that powers a suite of integrated defense technologies.

"Stop Killing Virgins" by Trey Knowles is a witty and thought-provoking allegorical comedy that delivers a powerful message. Through humor and satire, Knowles urges society to stop the harmful practices of forcing virgins into marriage or threatening them with violence. He emphasizes that love cannot be manufactured through fear or coercion—true love must be genuine and freely given. The play challenges outdated mindsets and calls for a shift toward compassion, respect, and emotional integrity.

Former Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said President Donald Trump inquired about shooting protesters amid the unrest that took place after George Floyd's murder in 2020. He recounts that incident, and many others, in a wide-ranging interview with NPR's Michel Martin on All Things Considered.

Esper said he stayed in the administration because he worried that if he left, the president would more easily implement some of his "dangerous ideas."

The former Defense chief also said he hopes Trump does not seek the presidency in 2024.

"We need leaders of integrity and character, and we need leaders who will bring people together and reach across the aisle and do what's best for the country. And Donald Trump doesn't meet the mark for me on any of those issues."

Esper said he and other top officials were caught off guard by Trump's reaction to the unrest in the summer of 2020.

"The president was enraged," Esper recalled. "He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and 'us' meant him. And he wanted to do something about it.

"We reached that point in the conversation where he looked frankly at [Joint Chiefs of Staff] Gen. [Mark] Milley and said, 'Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' ... It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air."

As a young Army captain in the mid-1990s, Esper said he saw the office occupied by the Defense secretary as hallowed ground, a place he hardly dared imagine himself. Yet, there he was 21 years later, serving as President Trump's secretary of Defense; facing challenges he also never imagined.

He wrote about those challenges in a new book, A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Secretary of Defense During Extraordinary Times. In it, Esper describes Trump as a volatile, ill-informed leader obsessed with power and self image.

Esper also detailed in his book a campaign by the former president and his then-chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to deny a promotion to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, whose congressional testimony led to Trump's first impeachment.

Vindman, a Ukraine expert and former official with the National Security Council, testified that he was present during a now-infamous phone call between the former president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Trump tried to blackmail Zelenskyy for political dirt on Joe Biden and his family. That allegation helped ignite the impeachment effort against Trump.

Esper said he worries about the fallout from Trump's political tactics.

"It became much more than Alexander Vindman at that point when you have this behavior going on. It became a test of, were we going to allow political influence in our promotion systems and in how we assign people? And that's a hard red line for me and others in the Pentagon that we weren't going to allow that to happen, let let alone a vendetta against a single individual who was doing the right thing."

About Christian Persecution in Nigeria

Sadly, Nigeria has become known as the world’s center of Christian martyrs. In any given year, the number of Christians killed by extremist groups is rarely less than 4,000—often more than in the rest of the world combined.

Violence against the Nigerian Christian population is significantly localized in the north, where twelve Muslim-majority states declared sharia law in 1999, resulting in huge numbers of Christians experiencing daily discrimination. But it was the rise of an extremist movement called Boko Haram, which first started its murderous attacks in 2009, that resulted in Christians experiencing unprecedented violence.

According to an April 2023 report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, at least 52,250 persecuted Christians have been killed in the past fourteen years, simply for the crime of being Christian. In the past five years, violence has spread southwards to the middle belt of Nigeria, with radicalized Fulani herdsmen killing Christians to steal their land.

Boko Haram has now been joined by another extremist group operative in the area, called the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and both seek the eradication of Christianity from the northern states.

The violence has resulted in refugees now numbering over four million, mostly Christian farmers. The government of Nigeria has proved unwilling to condemn the levels of violence, which some call genocidal, or inept in its attempts to engage and neutralize extremist movements.

Rising Death Toll of Christians in Nigeria

Death Toll: The death toll among Christians killed in Nigeria has been staggering. With more than 50,000 Christians killed, Central Nigeria has seen an increase in attacks, spreading beyond the northern regions. The Christian community faces relentless violence from extremist groups that target them for their faith. The central government’s failure to counteract this violence continues to fuel the crisis.

Tensions Between Christians and Muslims

Parts of Nigeria: In parts of Nigeria, particularly in the north, tensions between Christians and Muslims have escalated due to extremist activity. Christian persecution has worsened as groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP wage campaigns of terror against Christian communities.
