Samson lived to regret the intellectual challenge he issued.
Judges 14:12-14 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments: 13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
Within the last few weeks I have had cause to remember a poem I read many, many years ago. A book I read told of some character in the USA who had been shot dead and the poem was found in his pocket.
The version from the book is below.
“The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
NOW is the only time you have,
So live, love, toil at will,
Place no faith in “TIME,”
For the Clock may soon be still.”
This was long before the internet was ever thought of so it was impossible to find out who had originally written this poem. Nowadays with the internet it is possible to locate the source and when you do you find there is a longer version of the poem. The whole thing is below.
“The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
NOW is the only time you have,
So live, love, toil at will,
Place no faith in “TIME,”
For the Clock may soon be still.” By Robert H Smith
The reason I had cause to remember this was due to the fact of a number of high-profile chess players loosing games due to running out of time.
Poor Magnus Carlsen was one.
Poor Magnus
Poor Tania Sachdev was another. That is her in the video.
The Devil has a good understanding of time you know? He knows when his time is up, so he tries to do the utmost damage in the limited time he has left.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
A 16-year-old Chinese artistic genius has caused a sensation. He has played what many commentators consider to be one of the best chess games ever played. The game can be seen in the video below accompanied with a brilliant commentary by Simon Williams.
Keep an eye on Freddy the f pawn.
I suspect it is this game which has inspired Peter to sponsor this years Isle Of Man Chess tournament. Why else would £7,000,000 be put into an Isle Of Man account?
At the moment, it seems to me like this whole situation has developed because no effective means were taken to stop or detect Chess cheating in it`s early stages.
It will be interesting to see what measures female players can cause to be implemented, as angry, aggrieved, sleighed and possibly hysterical women can be incredibly persistent in getting what they want?
As a matter of fact all the women players would be better breaking away from FIFA and forming their own federation. They would probably draw a lot more sponsorship from wealthy entities than FIFA presently does.
The link here takes you to a radio show chaired by Dominic Lawson where he plays Chess and has a conversation with his guest opponent at the same time.
This particular show features Garry Kasparov. At about 3:20 on the timeline the conversation takes a very interesting turn.
Dominic Lawson starts to talk about Garry Kasparov`s very “intimidating presence.” So the show has moved on to what we could call the subject of “Body Language.” This is a very interesting topic, the problem is, so much garbage has been published about the topic it has become hard to sort out fact from fiction.
It is well documented about Kasparov`s very intense, or very intimidating persona. I suppose some people may even class it as a sort of “Charisma.” I do not know if this is some innate quality which Kasparov was born with or whether it is some psychological trick he has learned or perhaps some psychological ploy combined with acting lessons but there seems to be way in which he projects some sort of forceful personality forward which many of his former opponents have found to be disconcerting.
For instance here is a video clip of an actor using his acting skills to project an air of menace, he does not actually say anything but his whole demeanour projects what he imagines is a “very menacing persona.”
Here is another video of some other character trying to do the same thing, I don`t know if this guy is an amateur actor or not but if you watch the video I am sure you will agree he just does not have the ability to project a realistic “menacing persona,” as a matter of fact he looks quite stupid.
I guess some people just have it and some people don`t?
I have come across a few people in my time who did have the ability in some way to convey a somewhat forceful or “Charismatic” personality. Pope Lundy would be the character which I would say presents the most striking example of the mysterious ability to project a “charismatic persona.”
Pope Lundy definitely had some sort of “electrifying presence” but he did not have the ability to radiate an aura of “absolute menace.”
If you walk around any working class area of Belfast it will not be long before you see some young man or group of young men who are desperately trying to project a “tough guy” image. They try so hard to convey a “menacing persona, “they fail to realise they just look like a phony actor with outward appearance of a laughable caricature.
I will describe an image to you and you can try to picture such a person in your own mind. It is possible there is only one picture of this person on the internet but it is actually featuring someone else and the person I am talking about is standing in the background, plus because of his appearance in the picture no one would recognise him.
What you have to do now is conjure up an image in your mind of what you imagine an ex SAS soldier looks like and what sort of demeanour he would exhibit?
Then you conjure up an image in your mind of what an ex SAS soldier who has killed people looks like and what sort of demeanour he would exhibit?
Then you conjure up an image in your mind of what an ex SAS soldier who has killed people and would kill more people if he had to looks like and what sort of demeanour he would exhibit?
Then you conjure up an image in your mind of what an ex SAS soldier who has killed people and would kill more people if he had to, plus he is extremely peeved because he has spent a long time in jail because he was double-crossed by the “British” government, just imagine what such a person looks like and what sort of demeanour he would exhibit?
Don`t bother looking for pictures of him on the internet because you will not find them. What you may find on the internet is some stories of how Albert Baker`s mother tried to tell the local MSM that her son was genuinely a British soldier who had been tasked by a certain army section to do the task he carried out.
The problem Albert Baker`s mother faced at that time was a great one. This all took place in the early 1970s, hardly anyone in the Unionist community in N.Ireland at that time would have believed that the British Army would murder people and very few people in the Unionist community at that time would ever have believed that the “British government” would ever murder people.
Even if Albert Baker`s mother had found one capable local MSM journalist who believed her, the NIO would have made sure no really damaging stories were ever published. It is now 2015, anyone with an ounce of sense knows the “British” government really does murder people.
I have absolutely no doubt the current “British” government would murder Richard Kerr if they thought for one second they could get away with it. The problem for them is they cannot get away with it, not at the minute anyway.
If you pay attention to Richard Kerr he seems to have what they call in the movie and theatre business “a screen presence.” You cannot help wondering if he had been given the opportunity to lead a normal childhood and been able to develope his life in a normal way, may he have eventually became a well-known and successful actor surrounded by glamorous females?
We will never know because the British government robbed him of the opportunity to find out.
There really is such a thing as “body language” but I believe it can only be understood or studied properly from a Biblical basis. If you notice the number of times the Bible speaks about “the countenance” it is conveying the message that the look on a person`s face can reveal a great deal about them especially if they are caught off-guard.
One of the most beautiful phrases in the English language is about body language. It is taken from the Bible in Luke 9: 51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
The Lord Jesus Christ had a very determined, resolute demeanour when it was his intention to go to the city of Jerusalem. I have no doubt that the demeanour he exhibited stirred a great deal of admiration, wonder, encouragement and inspiration in the hearts of all his true disciples and followers and I have no doubt the very same appearance stirred a great deal of terror and apprehension of all those who hated him and opposed him.
Those who were his enemies would have found his demeanour “very, very menacing,” those who were his friends would have found his demeanour comforting and reassuring.
It is possible for two people to see the same “Body language” but both interpret it in very different ways.
Genesis 4:6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Genesis 31:5 And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
For instance, he would call the A pawn something like “Andy the A pawn,” then he would call the B pawn something like “Billy the B pawn,” then the C pawn something like “Charley the C pawn” ect, etc, etc all the way up to the “H pawn.”
There are 8 pawns so they all get a name from A to H.
After last week`s elections it is possible to draw some conclusions. It is obvious the vast percentage of the Unionist electorate in North Belfast do not have the brains or backbone that is necessary sieze any type of political victory. They had the perfect opportunity to turn Nigel Lundy into Doddsy the expendable D pawn and they blew it.
Doddsy the expendable D pawn
I can only assume that there are vast numbers of Unionists in North Belfast who are happy being the pawns and stooges of Nigel, Nelson and the Kincora Old Boys and they must also enjoy being governed by the IRA.
I hope they all enjoy the 12th day 2015 when the Ligoniel parade is once again stopped from proceeding up the Crumlin road and Nigel Lundy and co stand with two arms the one length urging people to make a “peaceful protest” then disperse or quite possibly some other plan which is 10 times worse!
The situation in East Belfast is more promising. The electorate in East Belfast have now technically turned Gavin Lundy into Gavin the expendable G pawn. There are several thousand braindead Unionists who would vote for Gavin the G pawn no matter what treachery he performs simply because he is a member of the DUP aka Kincora Old Boys. The very same people would vote for the Pope of Rome if the Pope of Rome told them he was now a DUP member.
However there are even more thousands of Unionist voters in East Belfast who are not so gullible and Gavin the expendable G pawn is at their mercy, they hold his future in their hands!
It will be interesting to see if they are astute enough to exploit the expendable G pawn`s potential to it`s utmost before they need to sacrifice him. It would be very useful if Gavin the G pawn was forced to play an instrumental role in removing Peter Pinnochio Punt from office. After that he could also be used to play an instrumental role in removing the IRA from the government of N.Ireland. There is no end to the useful moves that an expendable G pawn can be forced to make.
Plus there is a bonus! Gavin the expendable G pawn is not just any old expendable G pawn. Gavin the G pawn happens to be a member of the Apostate Church of Ireland which means he is also an Apostate and he does not have a drop of true Protestant blood in his veins!
That gives Gavin the expendable G pawn an extra expendabillity. He is already a traitor three times over any way, so he is no great loss to Unionism. The trick is just to use him in whatever way possible for the maximum benefit of the Unionist electorate in East Belfast. It should not really be too difficult should it?
South Belfast is another potentially good situation. Thanks to the astuteness of the Unionist voters who voted for the UKIP candidate, Jonathan Lundy has now been technically turned into Beller the expendable B pawn. If Beller the expendable B pawn wants to further his political career as a member of the Westmonster paedo parliament he now has to do business with the Unionist voters who skillfully denied him the votes he lusted after. lol lol
Beller the expendable B pawn can be exploited in lots of ways, expendable pawns can be made to do the most devastating damage in the right hands. Hopefully the astute Unionists in South Belfast will now take control of Beller the expendable B pawn and use him to the ultimate of his maximum devastating potential.
What is needed now is for a sizable section of the Unionist community to grasp the simple fact that all these so-called “political representatives” are not great, fearless, Unionist leaders with intellects four times bigger than the intellect of the average Unionist. All they are is expendable pawns and that is exactly how the Unionist community ought to treat them. They are as much use as blind, ignorant, dumb dogs which cannot bark!
Isaiah 56: 10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
