Shalom from Jerusalem,
Let's look at Isaiah 61:1-3. The Spirit of Lord YHWH is upon Me, because YHWH has anointed Me to preach good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of YHWH, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint for them that mourn in Zion…beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness – the planting of YHWH – that He might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:1-2a began to be fulfilled when Yeshua read it in a Nazareth synagogue (Luke 4:18-19), purposely stopping in the middle of a sentence. Look at history to see what has been happening to fulfill the rest of these verses.
After Messiah's return to His Father, the early Messianic Body began to obey His commission. As soon as His disciples received the fullness of the Spirit (Acts 2:1-4), they preached the good news, healed the hopeless ones, crushed in mind, declared liberty to and set free sin's captives, and from Jerusalem, proclaimed the acceptable year of the Lord.
Isaiah shows God's mercy triumphing over His judgments by describing the time of His gracious acceptance as a 'year', while His vengeance is seen as a 'day'. We are in that day now. While everything before His sentence break is global, Zion is the reason for the time of God's vengeance. Very old saints remember the great impact in 1948 as Israel declared statehood. They saw Psalm 102:13 come to pass: You shall arise, and have mercy on Zion, for the time to favor her, yes, the appointed time, has come.
This verse follows Psalm 102:1-11, an incredible prophetic depiction of the Holocaust.
What God says about His day of vengeance
includes meeting His people's needs post-Holocaust: He comforts the mourners in Zion; He gives them beauty instead of the ashes of Nazi ovens; He provides joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness. And He did it and is still doing it for His glory (Ezek. 36:22-32)!
God's controversy with the nations over Zion is also taking place now (Isa. 34:8). As we see the increasing intensity and frequency of prophetic events, we see God doing a quick work to wrap up this age in the glorious return of Messiah Yeshua. No wonder the devil has nations raging against God and His Anointed (Psa. 2:1-3). Satan knows his time is almost over (Rev. 12:12).
The Islamic elephant in the room
Many smart people babble about the Middle East [ME] conflicts, or why Muslim immigrants are dangerous to the West, yet they never mention Islam's ideology as the core problem.
Islam demands war-to-the-death with all non-Muslims. All current political manipulations, appeasements and peace deals ignore this. While Muslims are deceived and trapped in this demonic kingdom, Christians avoid confronting this reality so as not to be labeled as 'Islamophobic'. Yet by not speaking truth, the West and the Church are acting like dhimmis – second class citizens under Islam who are forbidden to speak against Allah or Islam, and must pay jizya – a humiliating tax from non-Muslims to Muslim authorities. That is being done now, as Western and Christian aid to Muslims is often seen by Muslims as jizya.
Natalia Osten-Sacken, a freelance journalist at euroislam.pl, interviewed Mona Walter, 45, a Swedish activist from Somalia, who fled as a Muslim refugee to Sweden almost 30 years ago. She became a Christian, received death threats, yet is an activist for religious freedom. Below are some of Walter's responses.
Muslims in Sweden do not report rapes of girls and boys by imams or family members, because Sweden's social welfare workers are afraid to act on it out of fear of being labeled racist. Muslims are taught in mosques to "hate unbelievers/infidels," resulting in actual hate-crimes. Their parents refuse to integrate or allow their children to mingle with non-Muslims.
Asked why "Islamic radicals in Europe are becoming…more popular and active," she said, because of "social media," and because today there are "more Muslims." Also, children born in the '90s are now adults. "They went to Islamic schools, were subjected to brainwashing, radicalization, and learned hate for Western society…The yield of the last 30 years has matured."
The answer to those who want to protect religious freedom is to recognize that "Islam…is a totalitarian system," which forbids "all other religions, freedom of speech and freedom of individual choice. It is the opposite of democracy."
Islam is also not a religion of peace. Islamic peace means all people "accept Islam as their religion," with sharia – Islamic law – prevailing. Islam divides mankind into "a house of peace and a house of war." All infidels, even "liberal Muslims who do not accept sharia, are in the house of war."
Does Walter see a chance to reform Islam? No! "How can you reform Allah? The Quran is Allah's Word…The Reformation in Christianity meant returning to…the Scriptures. Applying this criterion, Islam has already been 'reformed' by Wahhabism and Salafism," radical expressions of Islam today. ("Everyone was afraid to be branded as a racist," N. Osten-Sacken, Gatestone Institute, 23 Apr. 2018)
The rise of Islamic Nazis
Is it a God-induced blindness (2 Thess. 2:11) that causes so many in the West to ignore "Turkish President Erdogan's anti-Semitic rhetoric," or that causes Europe to support the Palestinians while ignoring their openly declared aim to destroy Israel, or that causes the EU to back the Iran nuclear deal, yet ignore Iran's oft-repeated goal to exterminate Israel. Tzvi Sadan wonders in today's world where "Nazi" is now "a swear word for those who don't agree with our political views," if whether real Nazis are invisible – "free to pursue their own version of the 'final solution'?"
Erdogan calls the Palestinians a "symbol of all oppressed…" saying humanity's future is determined by "its stance regarding the Palestine cause and the question of Jerusalem…" This invented 'oppression' mirrors what Hitler used against the Jews in his own country, seeing them as the "diabolical agent" desecrating all of humanity.
Erdogan echoed Hitler again by calling for a holy war against the Jewish state. Or as Hitler said, "My conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord."
Muslim support for Hitler is painfully obvious yet the nations look away, and so this Nazi-Islamic spirit against God's people and His nation grows noticeably every day. ("Out of the North Evil Will Break Forth," Tsvi Sadan, Israel Today, 18 May 2018)
Manfred Gerstenfeld says, "Anti-Israelism is [a] type of anti-Semitism." Some on the extreme left want Israel removed, which "can only happen through genocide." Modern Leftist ideology divides the world "into oppressors and oppressed. The oppressors are supposedly all white including Israel and the Jews." Yet they ignore the fact "that most people killed in armed conflicts in this century are Muslims murdered by other Muslims…" ("The World's Mega-anti-Semites," M. Gerstenfeld, JP Op-ed, 21 June 2018)
Iran exposed! The world yawns
Times of Israel's David Horovitz, says the "derisive" response from "the nations that negotiated the 2015 nuclear capitulation to Iran" to Prime Minister [PM] Bibi Netanyahu's unveiling of evidence snatched out of Iran by the Mossad on "Iran's nuclear weapons program…merely underlines their incompetence, their failure, their disingenuousness, and the gravity of the ongoing Iranian threat that they…failed to defuse."
Bibi did not say Israel had evidence of Iran breaking the 2015 deal. Just the opposite; Israel is concerned "that the deal is so negligent, so misconceived, so badly constructed," that Iran has no need to break it. They can pursue development of nuclear enrichment and ballistic missile programs freely, and wait until the deal runs out to produce nuclear weapons. "And what that haul of Iran's own documentation conclusively demonstrated is that this is precisely what Iran intends to do…"
Bibi's critics said there was nothing new in what he presented, with the EU's foreign policy chief Mogherini saying the deal was made "because there was no trust between the parties…" Horovitz concludes that this means, "We knew they were lying, and that's why we had to put this accord into place… [Or] We knew they were lying, and that's why we cut a lousy deal with them…"! ("Derisive response to PM's exposé shows world still refusing to get real on Iran," D. Horovitz, TOI Op-ed, 1 May 2018)
Dr. Kazem Moussavi, an exiled Iranian opposition activist said, "To understand the importance of the archival material exposed" by Israel, understand "that Iran's nuclear program is the product of [its] apocalyptic and anti-Semitic worldview and its global goals," which are "anti-Western and anti-Israeli…"
He sees the world at war with Iran now, "in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and on Israel's borders," not only because of Hamas and Hezbollah, but also over Iran's military presence in Syria. ("Exiled Iranian activist: Europe… acknowledge Iran threat," Israel Hayom, 2 May 2015)
Iranian civilians are openly protesting against "the hardline ruling regime," and the steep devaluation of the Iranian rial, its currency. They are fed up with the regime's "focus on foreign intervention" instead of Iran's own welfare. Protestors chanted in Farsi, "Death to Palestine" – referring to Iran's funding of Hamas in Gaza and its efforts to destroy Israel. Iran's huge expenditures in Syria had protestors chanting, "Leave Syria and think of us." ("Iranian Protestors Swarm Streets Chanting, 'Death to Palestine'," Washington Free Beacon, 25 June 2018)
Yet Iran's Shi'ite leaders are fixated on Israel, as an Iranian Revolutionary Guard head recently said, "Today an international Islamic army has been formed in Syria," awaiting orders to attack Israel. He praised Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, who "made Israel's destruction an Iranian goal." ("Top Iranian general: Forces in Syria 'awaiting orders' to destroy Israel," TOI, 9 July 2018)
Israel threatened from the north
Israel's main security focus is on its Syrian and Lebanese borders where Iranian forces and proxies are digging in. Although God's promise in Jeremiah 31:35-37 says Israel will not be destroyed – that does not mean a future war with mass deaths is out of the question. So we watch and pray. [Join us: www.ifi.org.il]
Herb Keinon said US Democrats hated the mid-July Trump-Putin news conference in Finland. Even Republicans cringed at Trump's backing of "Putin's denial of involvement in the 2016 US election…" Many EU leaders were also dismayed as they see Putin as a real and present threat.
But Netanyahu was thrilled. His "full-court diplomatic press," contacting both men before the meeting, paid off, as at the news conference watched by the world, both accepted "Israel's security concerns in Syria and the need to address them." ("Putin-Trump news conference that made Netanyahu smile," H. Keinon, JP, 17 July 2018)
The Syrian situation is fraught with danger. Iran is trying to set up a military presence both there and in Iraq. Also news has just surfaced of Iran shipping weapons and missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon via commercial airplanes.
Meanwhile, Israel has just revealed that over the past two years it has hit over 200 Iranian targets. We do not expect that to stop.
Israel attacked from the south
Israel left Gaza in 2005, yet since March 30th Hamas has amassed Gazans to breach the security fence and break into Israel. Hamas terrorists hide in the midst of these civilians, and so far, around 200 Gazans – mostly terrorists – have been killed, with thousands wounded, while only one Israeli soldier has died. This is God's miraculous protection on full display (Jer. 31:10).
The day the US embassy moved to Jerusalem was the worst day of rioting; more than 60 Gazans were killed. Yaakov Amidror, a former IDF major general and National Security Advisor, said criticism that Israel should "use less lethal means," is an example of people in "air-conditioned offices" offering advice on how to face tens of thousands of Arabs, when you don't know who are terrorists, and who are innocent civilians "who came only because they got some money from Hamas…" ("Former NSC Head Amidor: So. Africa & Turkey not important for Israel," Herb Keinon, JP, 15 May 2018)
In a Facebook video, Netanyahu quoted from recent statements of senior Hamas leaders. M. al Zahar said "calling the actions of Palestinians on the Gaza border 'peaceful' is a clear 'deception'…" Bibi agrees: "Shooting guns and lobbing explosives at Israelis is not peaceful at all."
Y. Sinwar said the aim of the riots is to "tear down their border and tear out their hearts." Bibi agrees: "destroying Israel and killing innocent Israelis is his true goal." ("… I agree with Hamas," Arutz 7, 18 May 2018)
David Weinberg, VP of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies, quotes Charles Krauthammer who in 2014 wrote, "To deliberately wage war so that your own people can be telegenically killed is…moral and tactical insanity. But it rests on a very rational premise: Given the Orwellian state of the world's treatment of Israel, fueled by a mix of classic anti-Semitism, near-total historical ignorance and reflexive sympathy for the ostensible Third World underdog – eruptions featuring Palestinian casualties ultimately undermine support for Israel's legitimacy and right to self-defense. In a world of such Kafkaesque ethical inversions, the depravity of Hamas begins to make sense. The whole point is to draw Israeli counter-fire; to produce dead Palestinians for international television."
Weinberg continues, "It is infuriating that democratic leaders profess to be concerned for Palestinian rights, yet ignore Hamas' … genocidal and anti-Semitic agenda, and its record of Islamist oppression and human rights abuse."
It is dangerous that nations "who insist on the importance of the '67 lines are now sympathizing with attempts to rupture that same line around Gaza. What is Western support for 'Israel's right to exist within secure and recognized borders' worth if those borders cannot be defended?"
It is "profane to equate Hamas' abuse of civilians in revving-up violence, with Israel's desire to avoid violence and its care to discriminate between terrorist agitators and civilian protestors…"
It is sickening to see the death toll as "disproportionate. How many Israelis have to die for the sake of symmetry…?"
And why do so many accept Palestinian "days of rage"? Does the West think "responsible and reasonable behavior…can't be expected of the Palestinians? This is the soft bigotry of low expectations and the counterpart hard bigotry of demands for impeccable/impossible conduct from Israel."
Golda Meir once said, "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children." Weinberg: "We Israelis can forgive the world for promoting Palestinian rights. We cannot forgive them for allowing Palestinians to believe that Israel will always get blamed no matter what the provocation." ("Gaza prejudice & perfidy," D. M. Weinberg, Israel Hayom Op-ed, May 18, 2018)
Clifford May, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies president, writes, "the line between Israel-hatred and Jew-hatred has all but disappeared. In the 20th century, the goal of extreme anti-Semites was a Europe without Jews. In the 21st century, the goal of extreme anti-Semites is a ME without a Jewish state."
Modern Zionism was birthed "to build a modern Jewish state in part of the ancient Jewish homeland." Israel was a refuge for Jews worldwide, "including hundreds of thousands expelled from Arab and Muslim countries after WW II…To be a Zionist now means supporting Israel's right to survive" and to defend itself from all "whose intentions are openly genocidal. By implication, that also tells us what it means to be an anti-Zionist." ("For Hamas & its friends, the worse the better," C. D. May, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 25 May 2018)
The attack of the terror toys
Hamas has burned up areas of southern Israel via kites, balloons, even helium filled condoms, to carry fires over the security fence. As mostly teens or children send them, Israel still struggles to deal with these attacks.
Gil Troy says it's no longer a shock to see "the world overlook the Palestinians' assaults on international norms." As they now "violate the Geneva Convention's ban on attacking foodstuffs or crops," the world still blames Trump and Netanyahu for moving the US embassy. Still, this action sums up "the two competing nationalisms and the choices their respective leaders keep making: Zionists sow and reap – Palestinian terrorists burn and destroy." ("The Palestinians' 'Kitetifada' deserves an ignoble prize," G. Troy, JP Op-ed, 12 June 2018)
Peace with whom?
At a Palestinian National Council session, PA President Abbas' "history lesson" was filled with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, trying "to prove the 3,000 year-old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel is false." He also claimed "the Holocaust was not a result of anti-Semitism" but of Jewish social and economic practices. ("Abbas says Jews' behavior, not anti-Semitism, caused the Holocaust," TOI, 1 May 2018)
Bibi rebuked the speech, tweeting, "With utmost ignorance and brazen gall, he claimed that European Jews were persecuted and murdered not because they were Jews but because they gave loans with interest… the Holocaust-denier is still a Holocaust-denier."
And US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman tweeted, "To all those who think Israel is the reason that we don't have peace, think again." ("Time for Holocaust denier Abbas to step down," Arutz 7, 2 May 2018)
Yigal Carmon, head of the ME Media Research Institute, says we are no closer to peace today because while the PLO "chose the diplomatic path in Oslo in '93," this was merely a tactical change, and not one of ideology. The change that might have turned this into a real peace deal was if the Palestinians had not demanded a right of return of their so-called refugees who fled Israel in 1948 based on a promise by the invading Arab armies of a future return after Israel's destruction. Even today, the PLO is not willing, nor able, to drop this demand, although America is in the process of challenging it and rejecting their definition of who actually is a refugee. Underlying the "political" issue, is the Islamic doctrine of wakf territories, which states that any lands once under Allah's rule are forever Alllah's and must be returned – even by jihad.
"Today, a majority of Israelis oppose the division of the land, and the Palestinian's stubbornness on the right of return has spared Israel the need to grapple" with this matter. ("Why the peace process failed," Y. Carmon, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 14 May 2018)
The Palestinians, having no idea of Trump's peace deal, have already rejected it. Since his Dec. 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, "the PA leadership has refused" all dealings with the US administration, except to receive financial aid, which America is stopping as we write. All top PA leaders have waged "a smear campaign of hate and incitement" against Trump's team, especially his "Jewish & Zionist" advisors: Kushner, Greenblatt, and Friedman.
Bassam Tawil reveals why the PA is rejecting "something they know nothing about." The only peace plan they will accept is the one enabling "them to achieve the 'phased solution' of wiping Israel off the face of the earth."
Tawil emphasizes a truth most peace-advocates miss, which is that "no Palestinian leader" could "accept any peace agreement with Israel," since both the PA and Hamas have radicalized an entire generation to hate Israel. Although the US government may have the best intentions, "there is no partner on the Palestinian side for any deal with Israel." ("Palestinians: The Only Acceptable Peace Plan," B. Tawil, Gatestone Institute, 25 June 2018)
Trump's "deal of the century"
Israel Today's Ryan Jones said when Trump affirmed Jerusalem as Israel's capital and then moved the US Embassy there, many Israelis feared the "diplomatic price" they might be asked to pay. Trump seemed to validate those fears in a recent speech, telling a West Virginia crowd as he had fully backed Israel's position on Jerusalem, now "Israel will have to pay a higher price," and the Palestinians "will get something very good…" It's that "something very good" that worries us, as most "Palestinian red-line demands pose very real existential threats to Israel's future…" ("How worried should Israel be about Trump's…remarks?" R. Jones, Israel Today, 22 Aug. 2018)
In Jerusalem, US National Security Advisor John Bolton played down the "higher price" statement, saying Trump sees what he did with Jerusalem, "as the right and natural thing to do, and it's not an issue of quid pro quo." ("Bolton: No 'quid pro quo' in Jerusalem embassy move," Arutz 7, 22 Aug. 2018)
Charles Bybelezer of The Media Line, said that in response to Trump's "higher price" statement, the Chairman of the Political Committee of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Dr. Abdullah, responded, "The only thing the Americans can do is to reverse the decision to recognize Jerusalem as capital of the Jewish people." He added, "We started our movement in 1965 to rebuild our right to self-determination, and we will continue struggling by all legitimate means to regain our sovereignty." [1965 is two years before the '67 war when Israel recaptured the so-called 'occupied territories'. So the territory he wants restored is all of Israel!] ("The cost of admission to Trump's peace negotiations," C. Bybelezer/The Media Line, JP Op-ed, 23 Aug. 2018)
Basic Law: The Nation-State of the Jewish People
As Israel does not have a constitution, basic laws are occasionally passed which become the laws of the land. This recent basic law has been lied about and used to further demonize Israel, yet it only says what Israel's Declaration of Independence said in 1948.
Here are its basic principles: "The land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people, in which the State of Israel was established…The State of Israel is the national home of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination…The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people." ("The attacks expose the depths to which the left has sunk," Arutz 7, 29 July 2018)
Tawil blasts the hypocrisy of the Israeli Arab Knesset members who "are outraged," because the law does not say "full equality of rights for all citizens." But Israel's "pre-existing laws and its Declaration of Independence…guarantee equal rights to all," so what is the real issue? This law affirms Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people.
Yet Israel is still "the only thriving democracy in the ME, and treats its minorities with respect." Israeli Arabs are "integrated into the state. They hold high positions in the Supreme Court, the Foreign Ministry, the health sector and even the Israel Police. The new law has not changed this reality…" ("The Secret Reason Arabs Reject Jewish Nation-State Law," B. Tawil, Gatestone Institute, 31 July 2018)
Many condemned this "bill as racist, discriminatory," and anti-democratic. The EU's Foreign Affairs chief said only a two-state solution can resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict and this bill hinders that, yet she did not explain "why Israel's being a Jewish state with equal rights for non-Jews" actually does hinder that goal.
Denis MacEoin, PhD in Persian Studies and Arabic and Islamic Studies teacher, said the EU has for decades "taken an anti-Israel position" which emboldens the Palestinians to "launch wars and terrorist attacks," preventing that two-state solution. Palestinians also insist their state be from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, which means either "massive ethnic cleansing or genocide."
The basic law's passage has simply given "a firm legal basis for the creation of Israel in 1948," in line with the League of Nations Palestinian Mandate, whose preamble says: 'Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect," the 1917 Balfour Declaration, "in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country'."
The false accusations against this law reveal an anti-Israel bias: "Israel is being wrongly condemned for something that not one Muslim state has ever been condemned for: identifying its nationality with its religion." And in Muslim nations, this often "excludes or restricts the rights, or even the very existence, of minorities…"
This includes the PA, as Article 4 of its 2003 Amended Basic Law, says, "Islam is the official religion in Palestine," with sharia as its principal source of legislation…" Sharia religious law rules out all democratic laws which contradict it. ("On Israel's Nation-State Law,' D. MacEion, Gatestone Institute, 22 Aug. 2018)
Dror Eydar said the law forces Jews inside and out of Israel "to confront the identity of the state and the basic premise behind the entire Zionist enterprise: …Do we have a historical, religious and legal right to this land?" ("The lie behind the nation-state law backlash," D. Eydar, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 10 Aug. 2018)
Yechiel Leiter, senior fellow at the Kohelet Policy Forum, said that in 1967 "a group of French academics…created postmodernism, an idea that has since engulfed…the world of academia, the news media and much of Western political life." Because of the "horrific events of the 20th century" they not only rejected the idea that the "Enlightenment had replaced faith" by human reason, but after Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc., reason was not an answer either. Thus by removing both "faith and rationalism …Reality turned subjective, words rendered meaningless, fact and fiction morphed into one, law became literature, history became poetry, self was decentralized, traditional family dismantled and society fragmented into multi-cultural divisiveness."
Today the Israeli advocate needs to see that to postmodernists, "truth is relative and facts are subjective," as well as perceiving that to them, "nothing is worse and nothing is to be rejected more forcefully than grand historical narratives… Where is one to find a greater metanarrative than the story of Israel? …nothing engenders incredulity more" in them, "than the success of Zionism. It is an unparalleled metanarrative of three-and-a-half millennia, now formally ensconced in Israel's fledgling constitution." ("Nation-State Law, a constitutional showdown with postmodernism," Y. Leiter, JP Op-ed, 16 Aug. 2018)
Pope Francis – a false prophet?
Russian President Putin, at the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt, warned against the Pope using "his platform to push a dangerous far-left political ideology on vulnerable people…that trust him because of his position…If you look at what [Francis] says it's clear that he is not a man of God – at least not the Christian God. Not the God of the Bible." He added that Francis "dreams of a world government and a global communist system …As we have seen…this is not compatible with Christianity."
Recently the Pope "has become increasingly active in pushing the globalist agenda and far-left talking points," has called "for a global central bank," and said, "Americans need to be ruled by a world government as soon as possible for their own good." ("Putin slams Pope Francis, 'he's not a man of God'," newsgru.com, 9 Aug. 2018)
Biblically "all" does not mean what you think it means!
The word "all" in biblical Hebrew and Greek does not always mean "everyone/everything inclusively" as in English. So when God gathers all nations to war against Jerusalem (Zech. 14:2), that does not have to mean your nation is among this damned horde. Intercessory prayer could guard your nation from coming against God's city, land and people (Ezek. 22:30).
YHWH who made heaven and earth, bless you out of Zion.Psa. 134:3
