About JSword
JSword is an implementation of the SWORD API. That said, it should be noted that it is not a port.
The JSword Project is a group of free programs that work together to bring Bible study to a wide range of people using the Java platform. Applications using JSword include BibleDesktop, a free desktop based Bible study tool, FireBible, Alkitab Bible Study and and-bible (for Android OS).
Since it is written in Java (JDK 1.4) it will run on most computers. Currently we regularly test on Windows, Linux and MacOS X, but it ought to work on Solaris and other places where JDK 1.4 or higher is available, and could be easily extended to work on set-top boxes and PDAs.
The software produced by the JSword project is open source software so it is freely available to anyone. It is licensed under the LGPL for the libraries and GPL for the application.
There are several components to the JSword project, the most commonly used is BibleDesktop. The core API is called JSword and there are two generic libraries of useful utilities called common and common-swing. (Note: that future releases will roll common into jsword.jar and common-swing into bibledesktop.jar) For a complete listing see instructions on getting the code.
Basic API Functions: APIExamples.java
The structure of the JSword engine, much like the original Sword engine, it is essentially a Library of Books with powerful search, install and output features. If you're a beginner to the Sword project, the APIExamples.api under /src/main/java -> org.crosswire.jsword.examples will be most helpful to you. In this you will find the most basic functioning of the key classes of the JSword engine.
Installer and Install Manager
Before you can use, read and perform any functions on Bible or other texts, you must first obtain the actual text. (However sometimes the KJV Bible text is already bundled with the download) The JSword engine has some abstracted functions which allow you to install texts very cleanly onto your program without knowledge of the acutal install tasks. This is done using the Installer and InstallManager.
InstallManager – A manager to abstract out the non-view specific book installation tasks.
Installer – An interface that allows us to download from a specific source of Bible data. It is important that implementor of this interface define equals() and hashcode() properly.
Looking at API examples you are able to see how these work together to install a text. In installBook() you can see that getInstallers() of InstallManager is used to find all the Installers (sources of Bible Data) online which can be used to obtain texts. Similarly if you already know which installer you want to use eg. the CrossWire server, you can directly put that into the getInstallers("CrossWire") arguement to return the correct installer. Now that an Installer is selected we can now check what books are available on that server.
As you can see the list of books is refreshed by the reloadBookList() and then the list of available books on that installer is obtained by running getBooks() of the installer.
Book- Book is the most basic store of textual data – It can retrieve data either as an XML document or as plain text – It uses Keys to refer to parts of itself, and can search for words (returning Keys).
Here you will find many different versions of the Bible and also commentaries and devotions. The book can then be downloaded and installed with the function install(book) of the installer. This will then automatically download the text from the designated server and install the files to the correct directory so that the text can be viewed and searched by other functions.
How JSword Finds Books
The code is in
- o.c.j.book.sword.SwordBookPath
with help from
- o.c.c.common.util.OSType to handle OS specific locations.
The OS specific location is (I'll use USER_OS_LOC below for this)
- HOME/Application Data/Sword -- Windows
- HOME/Library/Application Support/Sword -- Mac
- HOME/.sword -- elsewhere that Java runs
JSWORD_HOME defaults to USER_OS_LOC/JSword on Mac and Windows and USER_OS_LOC/.jsword elsewhere.
JSWORD_HOME is used to find user preferences and also program overrides.
There is no default for SWORD_HOME.
Here is the lookup order: The established SWORD download directory. Then the user "augment" paths. Finally the "default" paths.
The SWORD download path is determined by the following rules:
- This is either a directory that the user chose
- failing that
- it is the first default download dir for the application.
The default download dir is
- the first writable folder in the "default" paths
- failing that
Note: if the directory does not exist, which is typically the case in a first time use of a SWORD/JSword app, it is not considered and this will establish USER_OS_LOC as the download location.
The "augment" paths are the paths that a user specifies in preferences (aka preferences).
- With this they have control.
The default paths are ordered thus:
- process CWD/sword.conf
- CWD/../Library
- C:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project
- C:\Program Files\CrossWire
- process HOME/sword.conf
- process /etc/sword.conf
- process /usr/local/etc/sword.conf
These are evaluated on startup. PWD is problematic. If the program is run from shell script or equivalent, it is as expected. Otherwise, it is not well defined and entirely unpredictable.
Processing of sword.conf (now that I look at the code, I think this is broken):
- Add DATA_PATH
- Add AUGMENT_PATH
Two conditions need to be met in order for a path to be added to default paths:
- The directory contains a mods.d directory.
- The mods.d directory is readable.
Note: The BibleCS installer plays with SWORD_PATH, setting it. And BibleCS default location is in the path early. That's because, it does not play well with any other apps. It's presence supersedes the "proper" behavior. Defaulting SWORD_HOME, like JSWORD_HOME would "fix" that.
We don't do a shared location ALLUSERSPROFILE on Windows. Nor do we do /Users/Shared/Sword on Mac (I'd work with Manfred to determine the right location). If I were to add it, it would be just above USER_OS_LOC in both places in the algorithm.
Regarding the Portable Bible Desktop, we do things just a bit differently. The code above is the same, but we play with how it is called.
The layout:
- BibleDesktop -- Contains startup scripts for Windows (BibleDesktopWin.exe), Mac (BibleDesktopMac.app) and Unix (BibleDesktopUnix.sh)
- BibleDesktop/lib -- The jar files
- BibleDesktop/JSword -- the JSWORD_HOME (add desktop.properties here to set default properties)
- Java/win32 -- Java for Windows
- Java/linux -- Java for linux
- modules
- mods.d
Given this the startup scripts set:
- SWORD_HOME to the folder containing the BibleDesktop folder.
- JSWORD_HOME to the BibleDesktop/JSword folder.
While the installer has all of these in a folder name BD, that name is not at all special. It could just as well be /. This layout follows that of the SWORD cd.

[Mike Szczys] recently got together with [Bob Baddeley] to talk about his experiences taking a hobby project to market. He's not quite there yet, but [Bob] decided to travel a route which we find quite interesting. He has been taking part in a 111 day accelerator program called Haxlr8r. The idea is that this experience will give him the manufacturing chops he needs to meet the demand when his product actually launches. He spent a considerable amount of time in China, an experience he blogged about at length. The program also provides development cash in return for a percentage of the company.
The product he's working on is an LED scoreboard, which explains why he calls the company Portable Scores. It started as a hobby project, and he brought one of the early prototypes along to show off in the video after the break. It's a wooden frame, with foam board for the back and substrate, and clear acrylic on the front to protect the LEDs. All of the soldering is point-to point (there's an image of this available after the break too). His redesigns have moved from Arduino to a PIC controller, made the entire face of the display one PCB, and added Bluetooth control. It's great to see someone really go for it with a well-conceived project. We wish him all the best!

Is your business in any way affiliated with or connected to the healthcare industry? If so, be advised that recently, the FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have issued a statement in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services warning of an "Increased and Imminent Cybercrime Threat."
According to the jointly released statement, the agency Directors warned that hackers around the world are specifically targeting companies in the healthcare industry with the Ryuk ransomware strain. They're warning IT professionals in the industry to be both watchful and even more vigilant than usual.
In addition to issuing a warning, the government agencies also spelled out a list of specific action steps your company can take to prepare for a Ryuk attack.
These things include the items you'd expect, such as:
- Making sure you've got the latest security patches installed for Windows and the other software you rely on
- Reviewing your incident response plan, or if you don't yet have one, making one as quickly as possible, coming up with plans to redirect your patients in the event of a successful attack
- Making sure your backups are current
- Limiting personal email/employee education about email
One of the less obvious recommendations to come out of the advisory was that all devices connected to the network should be turned off when not in use, so that in the event of an attack, those devices at least, are spared.
In any case, there are three big, well-known, well-respected government agencies, all saying that these attacks are coming and are much more likely in the weeks and months ahead. With that in mind, be sure your staff is on high alert and that your network is as secure as you can reasonably make it, with contingency plans in place in case the worst happens. Stay vigilant out there.

Abstract: We sequenced Early Neolithic genomes from the Zagros region of Iran (eastern Fertile Crescent), where some of the earliest evidence for farming is found, and identify a previously uncharacterized population that is neither ancestral to the first European farmers nor has contributed significantly to the ancestry of modern Europeans. These people are estimated to have separated from Early Neolithic farmers in Anatolia some 46-77,000 years ago and show affinities to modern day Pakistani and Afghan populations, but particularly to Iranian Zoroastrians. We conclude that multiple, genetically differentiated hunter-gatherer populations adopted farming in SW-Asia, that components of pre-Neolithic population structure were preserved as farming spread into neighboring regions, and that the Zagros region was the cradle of eastward expansion.

During the March 5, 2018 meeting of the Comsewogue School District Board of Education, the board voted unanimously to move forward with a bond proposal to improve district facilities based on recommendations from the community-led Facilities Committee. The Facilities Committee was established to review the state-mandated five-year building conditions survey, tour district buildings, review financial and enrollment data, and, ultimately, present its recommendations and findings to the board. The committee presented its recommendations in a special public meeting on February 12, 2018. The proposal, as recommended by the committee, and now approved by the Board of Education, passed in a community vote on May 15, 2018. Residents within the Comsewogue School District approved both the district's bond and 2018-2019 budget. Voters approved the bond: 768 YES to 315 NO votes and the budget 829 YES to 263 NO. The proposed bond, totaling $32 million, focuses on improving three main areas throughout the district's six school buildings: health and safety, infrastructure and the three A's - academics, arts and athletics. The proposed facility improvements preserve the integrity of the school buildings, address repairs, improve instructional resources for all and upgrade athletic facilities. The bond proposal includes several projects, including: creating security vestibules at the main entrances of all buildings, updating casework in all buildings, renovating auditorium seating and carpeting and updating the sound system and rigging at John F. Kennedy Middle School, and replacing the press box and bathroom/concession stand at the high school's main athletic field. Projects have been categorized by importance and urgency, and broken into two groups: A-list items and B-list items. If approved by residents on May 15, items on the A-list, which have been categorized as high priority, will receive priority. Following the completion of the A-list items, B-list items will be re-prioritized based on available funds and need. A full list of the proposed projects is available below.
"We are grateful to our community for their continued support of our schools and our students," said former Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Rella. "Their approval of the bond and 2018-2019 budget will enable us to enhance and enrich health and safety, infrastructure and the three A's – academics, arts and athletics."

Praise be to Allah.
Upholding ties of kinship only has to do with relatives through one's father and mother, not relatives through marriage.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
I hope you can advise me in detail about upholding ties of kinship. Does it include the relatives of one's wife or husband or not? Who are the arham (close relatives)?
He replied:
The arham are relatives through one's mother and through one's father. So fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers are arham. And one's children and their children, both male and female, and the children of daughters, are all arham. Similarly, brothers and sisters and their children are arham; and paternal uncles and aunts, and maternal uncles and aunts, and their children are arham. As for the relatives of one's wife, they are in-laws or relatives through marriage, and they are not arham. The same applies to the husband's relatives for the wife – they are relatives through marriage and they are not arham.
End quote from the Shaykh's website.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Many of the common folk take the word arham as referring only to the relatives of the spouse, to such an extent that a man may say these are my arham because he is married to one of them. This is a mistake in both linguistic and shar 'i terms, because the arham are relatives through one's father or through one's mother.
As for the relatives of one's spouse, they are called as-haar (in-laws), not arham. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): "And it is He Who has created man from water, and has appointed for him kindred by blood (nasaban), and kindred by marriage (sihran)" [al-Furqaan 25:54]. Allah, may He be exalted, has created ties among people by means of these two things: kindred by blood and kindred by marriage. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb by Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 11/6.
But that does not mean that there should not be good interactions among people, with ties, friendship and visits, even if there are no ties of blood or marriage among them.
So there is nothing wrong with continuing good relationships among people who were related by marriage, even after divorce, this in fact is part of a good attitude and good character, because the Muslims is the brother of his fellow Muslim.
But it is essential to point out the importance of adhering to proper shar'i hijaab in front of adolescent male children. It says in al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah (17/7):
It is obligatory on the woman to observe hijab in front of adolescents who can tell what is 'awrah and what is not. This is a general rule. If the child is a minor and cannot tell what is 'awrah and what is not, then there is nothing wrong with showing one's adornment in front of him, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): "and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, …, or small children who have no sense of the feminine sex." [al-Noor 24:31].
End quote.
The boy in front of whom hijab does not have to be observed is the one who has no knowledge of or interest in matters having to do with women. This varies from one child to another. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb by Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 11/500
And Allah knows best.

NASA Researchers have gotten a closer look at one of the largest stars ever discovered in a super star cluster, thanks to images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
This beautiful Hubble image reveals a young super star cluster known as Westerlund 1, only 15,000 light-years away in our Milky Way neighborhood, yet home to one of the largest stars ever discovered.
Stars are classified according to their spectral type, surface temperature, and luminosity. While studying and classifying the cluster's constituent stars, astronomers discovered that Westerlund 1 is home to an enormous star. Originally named Westerlund 1-26, this monster star is a red supergiant (although sometimes classified as a hypergiant) with a radius over 1,500 times that of our sun. If Westerlund 1-26 were placed where our sun is in our solar system, it would extend out beyond the orbit of Jupiter.
Most of Westerlund 1's stars are thought to have formed in the same burst of activity, meaning that they have similar ages and compositions. The cluster is relatively young in astronomical terms —at around three million years old it is a baby compared to our own sun, which is some 4.6 billion years old.

CUSTOMER: OSF Healthcare System
LOCATION: Peoria, Illinois
Customer Requirement: Standby emergency power
Scope of Supply: Equipment –
15 Caterpillar generator sets ranging from
400 kW standby to 900 kW standby
Services –
Site evaluation and permitting
Delivery, setup and installation
Load testing and commissioning
Equipment testing
Cat Dealer: Altorfer Power Systems
Peoria, Illinois
Teamwork is an important element of any successful power project. Just ask Ed McKenzie, corporate facilities engineer for OSF Healthcare System, a network of six acute care facilities, one long-term care facility and two colleges of nursing. McKenzie has been heading up the OSF Healthcare System's power team, which consists of OSF Healthcare System engineers, local Cat dealer Altorfer Power Systems and outside engineering/consulting firms. This team of power professionals has been working together for years, installing additional standby power systems in a number of OSF Healthcare System facilities.
"Within the healthcare industry, we are experiencing a greater demand for standby generation," explains McKenzie. "Standby generation was historically installed to support critical life safety loads, but in recent years there has been more demand for standby generation to support non-critical loads, including operational (computer and laboratory systems) and creature comfort (air conditioning and air handling) systems.
A recent addition to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) code provides an allowance for such demand. "We're taking full advantage of this code allowance and installing additional standby power at several of our facilities," notes McKenzie. "All OSF Healthcare System facilities have both utility and emergency power generation in place, ranging from 120- to 4,160-volt, threephase power. We aren't replacing existing standby power systems — but rather we're adding additional standby power," he stresses.
The addition of standby generation is all a part of future OSF Healthcare System power planning. "We always plan for future expansion needs with regards to construction and design," notes McKenzie. And although space is always at a premium, OSF Healthcare System's advance planning has paved the way for smooth power installations.
OSF Healthcare System has been relying on their local Cat Dealer, Altorfer Power Systems for additional standby generation for years.
But location isn't the only reason McKenzie calls on Altorfer and power sales representative Tim Scheuermann. "We always go through our local dealer — Tim and his team provide a one-stop shop. From routine maintenance to service contracts to purchasing to design specs, our dealer is an invaluable part of our team."
The OSF Healthcare System teamwork approach has smoothed the path for recent power projects around the system. "We work closely with OSF Healthcare System during every phase of a power project," says Scheuermann.
McKenzie agrees. "We rely on our dealer for everything, from design to installation to testing of power generation, synchronization and bus gear. Altorfer is involved during every step of the way and they bring reliable solutions to the table," he adds.
The two most recent installations — three Cat 3508 gen sets at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Ill., and two Cat 3508 gen sets at St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington, Ill. — have gone without a hitch thanks to the cooperation of all parties involved.
The three Cat 3508s at St. Francis Medical Center each provide 700 kW standby power to support the 1.4-million sq.-ft. major medical center with Level One trauma and two helicopter pads. The units are also used for load shedding approximately 200 hours a year. "By contract we are required to pick up 1.25 MW for load shedding," explains McKenzie. "However, we normally load shed at about 1.5 MW."
The two Cat 3508s at St. Joseph Medical Center are rated at 800 kW and 900 kW standby and support the 500,000 sq.-ft. facility. Utility power is less stable in this area and to compensate more redundancy is built into the system. "Actual standby load is about 750 kW which is why we have an 800 kW and 900 kW generator in place," he notes.
OSF Healthcare System has been participating in a load shedding program for the last seven years. (All units at St. Francis Medical Center and St. Joseph Medical Center participate in this program.)
"We take part in load shedding for the economical benefit as well as for dependability," McKenzie offers. "Our philosophy is if the host utility is having power issues, we would rather transfer our critical loads during a scheduled transfer than to experience a brownout or an unscheduled outage due to overload."
The OSF Heathcare System also incorporates smaller power installations, such as the Cat 3406 generator set at the OSF Center for Health in North Peoria. The 3406 supports the 144,444 sq.-ft. facility and provides up to 400 kW of backup power in the event of a utility interruption.
The standby systems in both Bloomington and North Peoria have proven reliable in recent months. "The Caterpillar units operate very efficiently with zero maintenance issues," notes McKenzie. "The power systems have been trouble free and for us that's a huge plus. The most important factor for a healthcare organization is reliability. We can't afford surprises."

Alongside the Canon 70D and 7D Mark II rumors, a Japanese magazine published its take on upcoming Nikon DSLRs for 2013. The Nikon D7200 (presumably following the Nikon D7000) is rated at a 90% probability with rumored specs that include a 24MP APS-C sensor, 39-point AF and ISO 25,600 sensitivity.
Another interesting rumor is the Nikon D9000, which is rumored to sport a 16MP APS-C sensor, 8-10fps frame rate and a 51-point AF system. Presumably this would be a step closer to the Canon 7D or what might otherwise be known as the Nikon D400 (oddly though, that model name does not appear on the rumor sheet). The magazine assigns the Nikon D9000 a 35% probability for 2013 release.
Rounding out the rumor mill is the Nikon 1 V3 as the next prosumer mirrorless model with a 75% probability. And, of course, the Nikon D4x with a 36MP full frame sensor captures a 30% probability for a 2013 release.

Microbiome clinical trials at UCSF
1 in progress, 0 open to eligible people
Milk, Growth and Microbiota Study
Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later
Late preterm infants, who are born at 34, 35 or 36 weeks gestation, often have difficulty feeding, establishing growth, and fighting off infection. Breastfeeding provides improved nutrition to help fight infection, in part because breast milk encourages the growth of healthy bacteria (microbiota) in the infant's intestine. However, when mothers give birth preterm, their breasts are usually not quite ready to make milk; it can take several days to have enough breast milk to match a baby's nutritional needs. If there is not yet enough breast milk, formula is often used. However, formula can interfere with the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria. An alternate nutritional option is donor milk from a certified milk bank, which is available in all neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in San Francisco. However, no scientific studies have yet studied donor milk for late preterm infants, so currently all San Francisco NICUs (as well as the large majority of NICUs nationwide) reserve donor milk for infants born at <34 weeks. This study's investigators therefore propose the "Milk, Growth and Microbiota (MGM) Study," a randomized controlled trial to compare banked donor milk to formula for breastfeeding late preterm infants born in San Francisco. Once enrolled in MGM, infants will be randomly assigned to receive either formula or banked donor milk if they need additional nutrition until their mothers are making enough milk. After enrolling the babies, investigators will weigh them daily to assess their growth. The investigators will also collect infant bowel movements at baseline, 1 week and 1 month to determine whether donor milk vs. formula impacts the type of bacteria in the baby's intestine. If the study's results show that donor milk optimizes growth while helping establish healthy bacteria in the baby's intestine, donor milk might be postnatal strategy to bolster neonatal nutrition for late preterm infants.

Human Spaceflight
It was not long after the first space satellites were launched that we succeeded in getting a human being into space. These first astronauts and cosmonauts (the Russian word for astronaut) were test pilots who were very familiar with flying in fast and dangerous planes! The first human being to travel into space was Yuri Gagarin (USSR, 1961), followed a month later by the US astronaut Alan Shepard.
Once we found out that humans could travel in space, a "space race" quickly developed between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States main interest was to land on the moon. The Soviet Union was more interested in setting endurance records and doing scientific research.
Russia, the United States, and 14 other countries are now working together on the International Space Station project.

With a population of 1.3 billion and a GDP that's expected to grow 8 percent to 10 percent annually through 2010, China is increasingly gaining the attention of U.S. investors, developers and retailers. Historically, however, finding detailed demographic data on markets throughout China has proven to be a tall order for real estate pros.
That is until now. In collaboration with the China Data Center at the University of Michigan, real estate technology firm SRC of Orange, Calif., has rolled out a new online product that provides data from the China 2000 Census. The site is called www.demographicsnowchina.com and is designed to let users slice and dice key information such as births, age, housing dwelling characteristics.
Want to know how many generations are living under one roof, or find specific information on a particular province? Real estate pros will be able to analyze the demographic and market potential for any geography in the People's Republic of China from the Web-based interface.
The annual subscription price ranges from $21,500 for the basic package to $41,200 for some of the more advanced features.
What's jumped out at SRC officials after combing over the data? "There are cultural differences between the U.S. and China. For example, we have multiple generations in China living in the same dwelling in one room or two rooms," said Olivia Duane-Adams, executive vice president at SRC who is present at this year's convention to demonstrate the new product. That means, for example, U.S. apartment developers would need to adopt a different mindset when developing in China.
Dean Stoecker, president and CEO of SRC, believes that by teaming up with the China Data Center and launching www.demographicsnowchina.com, SRC is helping to shift the dynamic of global investment in China.
"With access to accurate demographic data and market and site location analysis, global retailers will have clear insights into the habits and patterns of potential customers in China, mitigating their risks and expanding horizons," concluded Stoecker.

Middle East in Prophecy
Chapter 1: The King of the North and the King of the South
What is the real significance of the unrest in the Middle East? To understand it, we must study a prophecy that has been closed and sealed until now, a prophecy that foretold 2,500 years ago, this very series of crises and the war that shall finally draw in all the nations of the world!
It is one of the most amazing prophecies in the Bible. It is most specific, describing historical events, up to the present, in more detail than any other prophecy. It is the longest prophecy in the Bible. It is found in Daniel chapter 11. It describes the impending war! The prelude is found in the 10th chapter of the book of Daniel. The prophecy came to Daniel in the third year of the reign of Cyrus, king of the Persian Empire. Dan.10:1. To make him understand what shall befall God's people in these present later days of mans rule. Dan.10:14.
"There shall stand up three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will." Dan. 11:2-3.
Actually there were 12 more kings in the Persian Empire, but only the first four following Cyrus were of importance for the purpose of this prophecy. They were Cambyses, pseudo-Smerdis, Darius and Xerxes. It was the last, or Xerxes, who was the richest of all and stirred up war with Greece.
Then King Philip of Macedonia planned a great war to conquer the Persian Empire, with an army made up mostly of Grecians. He died before the plans were completed. But his son, Alexander the Great, took over his plans, and invaded Persia. He met the Persian army at the Battle of Issus, 333 B.C. Dan. 8:2, 5-6. Then he swept down into Egypt, and then to a final crushing defeat of the Persian Empire at the Battle of Arbella, 331 B.C., after which Alexander marched on a conquest clear to India, sweeping all before him.
Notice now verse 4 of the prophecy: "And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."
How accurately that came to pass. Quote from one of the authoritative English-language histories published in the last century, A Manual of Ancient History. Student Series by Rawlinson: "Cut off unexpectedly in the vigor of early manhood, the 33rd year of his age, June, 323 B.C. he -Alexander left no inheritor, either of his power or of his projects" p. 237. The Empire was left leaderless and in confusion, but out of this emerged, by the year 301 B.C., four divisions, just as prophesied, as a result of a division of the Empire into four divisions by Alexander's generals.
They were: 1. Ptolemy (Soter), ruling Egypt, part of Syria and Judea.2. Seleucus (Nicator), ruling Syria, Babylonia and territory east to India. 3. Lysimachus, ruling Asia Minor.4. Cassandra, ruling Greece and Macedonia.The prophecy of verse 4 was fulfilled to the letter.
Now notice what follows. From here the prophecy foretells the activities only of two of these four divisions: Egypt, called "king of the south," because it is south of Jerusalem; and the Syrian kingdom, the king of the north, just north of Judea. It is because the Holy Land passed back and forth between those two divisions, and because their different wars were principally over possession of Judea, that the prophecy is concerned with them.
Here is verse 5:"And the king of the south [Egypt] shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion." In history, we learn that the original Ptolemy I, called Soter, became strong and powerful, developing Egypt beyond the greatest dreams of Alexander. One of his princes, or generals, Seleucus Nicator, also became strong and powerful. And, in 312 B.C., taking advantage of Ptolemy's being tied up in a war, he established himself in Syria, and assumed the diadem-crown- as king.
Verse 6 says, "And in the end of years they shall join themselves together;
for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make
an agreement -margin, rights or equitable conditions, or marriage union, but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his
arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat
her, and he that strengthened her in these times."

At the end of 50 years, this occurred exactly as described! Syria's ruler, the king of the north, at this time was Antiochus II, called Theos. His wife was named Laodice. And, says Rawlinson's Ancient History, page 251, "Her influence … engaged him in a war with Ptolemy Philadelphus [king of the south], B.C. 260, which is terminated, B.C. 252, by a marriage between Antiochus and Bernice, Ptolemy's daughter."The prophecy says "he that begat her" shall be given up. Also that she shall not retain the power of the arm, neither shall the king of the north, whom she married, stand. All three are to come to their end. Notice how accurately this came to pass.
Says Rawlinson's History, pages 251 and 252: "On the death of Philadelphus [he that begat her] B.C. 247, Antiochus repudiated Bernice, and took back his former wife, Laodice, who, however, doubtful of his constancy, murdered him to secure the throne for her son Seleucus II B.C. 246 Bernice had been put to death by Laodice."
Nowhere in all the Bible is there so literal a prophecy, giving so many
details of future history. And to read an ancient history of these kingdoms is
simply to see unfolded before your eyes, step by step, verse by verse, this
marvelous prophecy. There can be no doubt of its right application!

Chapter 3: The Holy Land Changes Hands
Next let us notice verse 7: "But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate [margin, "in his office," which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail."Out of a branch," or "shoot," of her roots. Her parents were her roots. Hence, this must be her brother, who next should occupy the throne of king of the south and fulfill this prophecy. Now listen to this accurate fulfillment, quoted word for word from the same page of Rawlinson's work. p. 252.
"Ptolemy Euergetes [the III, eldest son of Philadelphus- p. 272- and Bernice's brother (a branch of her roots) invaded Syria, B.C. 245, to avenge the murder of his sister Bernice In the war which followed, he carried everything before him."
The eighth verse of Daniel 11 says this king of the south would carry captives and vessels of silver and gold into Egypt, and continue to reign more years than the king of the north, who at that time was Seleucus II, and verse 9 says he shall return into Egypt. As verse 7 said he should "enter into the fortress of the king of the north," Ptolemy III did seize the fortress of Syria, Seleucia, the port of Antioch, capital of the kingdom! Then he carried back to Egypt immense booty and 2,500 molten images and idolatrous vessels which, in 526 B.C. Cambyses had carried away from Egypt. He continued to rule until 222 B.C., while the king of the north, Seleucus II, died in 226 B.C.
When he died, his two sons took over the kingdom of the north; first Seleucus III, 226-223 B.C., who ruled only three years, and then his brother Antiochus III, called "the Great," 223-187 B.C. Both of these two sons of Seleucus II assembled immense forces to war against Egypt, to avenge their father, and recover their port and fortress, Seleucia.
And this was accurately prophesied in verse 10: "But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return and be stirred up (margin, "be stirred up again") even to his fortress." And, continues verse 11, "the king of the south shall be moved, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand."
In fulfillment of the latter part of verse 10, Antiochus the Great, after 27 years, recovered his fortress, Seleucia, and he also conquered the territory of Syria, as far as Gaza, including Judea. But the young Egyptian king, now Ptolemy IV (Philopater), was roused, and with an army of 20,000 inflicted severe defeat on Antiochus the Great; and fulfilling verse 12, he killed tens of thousands and again annexed Judea to Egypt. But he was not strengthened, for he made a rash and speedy peace with Antiochus, and returned to dissipation, throwing away the fruits of victory. Says verse 12, "And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it."
As verse 13 continues, "the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches." It was "after certain years," or 12 years later, 205 B.C., that Ptolemy Philopator died, leaving his throne to an infant son, Ptolemy Epiphanes. Then Antiochus assembled a greater army, and won great victories.
He then made a treaty allying Philip of Macedonia with him, and others, against Egypt, and they wrested Phoenicia and southern Syria from the king of the south. In this they were assisted by some of the Jews. Josephus' Jewish history says many Jews helped Antiochus. But notice how accurately God had foretold this, hundreds of years before it happened-"And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall" v.14.
Read It in Your Own Bible!
To save space, the reader is asked from this point to read each verse of the prophecy from your own Bible, saving us reprinting the prophecy in full here. We give here only the facts in history. Verses 15-16 "the glorious land," of course, refers to Judea, the Holy Land. Antiochus the Great besieged and took Sidon from Egypt, ruined the interests of Egypt in Judea at the Battle of Mount Panium, 198 B.C., and then Antiochus took possession of Judea.
Verse 17- "upright ones" -see margin- in Hebrew means "equal conditions, or marriage," but the one he marries will not stand on his side. In 198 B.C., Antiochus arranged a marriage between his daughter, Cleopatra (not the Cleopatra of 31 B.C. in Egypt) and young Ptolemy Epiphanes, king of the south, by which he hoped subtly to gain complete possession of Egypt; but the plan failed.
Says Rawlinson, page 254, "Coele-Syria and Palestine promised as a dowry, but not delivered." Cleopatra did not truly stand on the side of Antiochus, for it was only a trick to gain possession of Egypt.Vese 18- and so Antiochus turned his attention in another direction and tried to conquer, 197 to 196 B.C., the islands and coasts of Asia Minor. But the Roman general, Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus, utterly defeated him at the Battle of Magnesia, 190 B.C.
Verse 19- Antiochus next turned his attention to the fortresses of his own land, in the east and west. But, attempting to recruit his dissipated wealth by the plunder of the Oriental Temple of Belus, in Elymais, he was killed, 187 B.C. Verse 20 -Seleucus IV Philopator (187-176), his son, in an effort to raise money, sent a tax collector, Heliodorus, through Judea. But he reigned only 11 years, when Heliodorus poisoned him.
Verse 21- he left no heir. But his brother, a younger son of Antiochus the
Great, Epiphanes Antiochus IV, a contemptible reprobate, came by
surprise and through flattery took the kingdom. To his aid came his assistant,
Eumenes. Rawlinson page 255, "Antiochus Epiphanes, assisted by Eumenes,
drives out Heliodorus, and obtains the throne, B.C. 176. He astonishes his
subjects by an affectation of Roman manners" and "good-natured profuseness

CHAPTER 4: Antiochus Epiphanes
Verse 22 – "the prince of the covenant" does not refer to Christ. This was the attempt of Antiochus to replace the Jewish high priest by another who would be subservient to him. Verses 23-24- although only a few were with him at first, yet by this "Roman manner," by deceit and flattery, he crept into power and prospered. He also invaded Galilee and Lower Egypt. His fathers, the former kings of Syria, had favored the Jews, but says Rawlinson, page 255, they "were driven to desperation by the mad project of this self-willed monarch."
Verse 25 – Rawlinson, pages 255-256, says, "Threatened with war by the ministers of Ptolemy Philometor (now king of the south) who claimed Coele-Syria and Palestine as the dowry of Cleopatra, the late queen-mother, Antiochus marches against Egypt … B.C. 171" (pp. 277-278. But he was met by his nephew, Ptolemy Philometor, king of the south, with another immense army. But the Egyptian king was defeated through the treachery of his own officers and was outwitted by Antiochus.
Verses 26-27 – page 278: "After his victory at
Pelusium, Antiochus advanced to Memphis, and having obtained possession of the
young king's person [Ptolemy Philometor, king of the south], endeavored to use
him as a tool for effecting the entire reduction of the country." In 174 B.C.,
the uncle of the king of the south sat at a banquet. Antiochus pretended to ally
himself with the young Ptolemy, against his brother, Euergetes II, but each was
trying to deceive the other.

Chapter 5: The Abomination of Desolation
Verse 28- in 168 B.C., returning from Egypt with great plunder, Antiochus set himself against the Jews, massacred many, and then returned to Antioch with golden vessels from the Temple at Jerusalem. Verse 29 – the same year, he again invaded Egypt, but with none of his former success, because Philometor, king of the south, got help from Rome.
Verse 30- The Roman fleet came against Antiochus, he was forced to surrender to the terms of Popillius, commander of the Roman fleet, and retire from Egypt and restore Cyprus to Egypt. Returning through Judea, smarting under defeat, he vented his exasperation against the Jews, and extended special favors to those Jews who would turn from their religion.
Verse 31- then, 167 B.C., the next year, came the climax of the horror. Antiochus sent troops to the Holy Land, desecrated the Temple and sanctuary, abolished the daily sacrifice, see also Daniel 8:11, 24 and Kislev 15, Hebrew calendar placed the abomination- an image- on the altar in the Temple precincts, making it desolate -Rawlinson, p. 255.
Many who claim to teach the
Bible try to apply the prophecy of this verse to Moslems in the 7th century
A.D., building the Dome of the Rock on the supposed site of the ancient Temple
at Jerusalem! But every verse of this prophecy, step by step, verse by verse,
unfolded in actual history, here recounted, so there can be not the
slightest shadow of doubt as to this abomination that "makes desolate" – it was
an idol set up in 167 B.C., by Antiochus Epiphanes and not the dome of the rock.

Chapter 6: The Prophecy Comes to Christ and the Apostles
Verse 32- Antiochus tried to end the religion of the Jews. He took away the daily sacrifice, forbade the ministration at the Temple. He perverted by flatteries the Jews who were willing to forsake their religion. But right here, the prophecy cuts off from the continuation of events in the history of those ancient north and south kingdoms. Up to this point, the prophecy was unfolded, step by step, in the actual history of the northern kingdom of the Seleucidae, or Syria, and the southern kingdom of Egypt. But, say most commentaries, all accurate details seem suddenly to stop short with this verse.
Now let us notice verse 32 in detail, and particularly the last part:"And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries." This, Antiochus Epiphanes did do. But now notice the last part of the verse: "but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
So our question now is, when, beginning with, and following, 167 B.C., did people begin to know God, and to be spiritually strong, and to do exploits in the Lord's service? The answer is, at the time of the Maccabees, beginning in 166 B.C., and, two centuries later, at the first appearing of Jesus Christ and in the days of the apostles! Verse 33 "And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days."
Jesus and the apostles did instruct many. But Jesus was put to death, and history indicates that all the early apostles were martyred, except John. And this continued, many days, even into the Middle Ages, when millions were martyred for their faith. Verse 34 "Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And [verse 35] some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed."
Here is described in general the whole course of God's people, from the days of Christ to the present. Compare with such passages as Rev. 12:6, 11, 13-17. And notice the vision carries on down to this present time of the end of man's rule in earth. Verse 36- The king of the north- who is he, now, in the early and middle New Testament times, to which our prophecy has come? In 65 B.C., Syria was swallowed up by the Roman Empire, and became a Roman province.
The Roman emperor now controlled Judea, and therefore the king of the north, here referred to, is, at this time, the emperor of the Roman Empire. This verse says he should do according to his will, and he did- exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and he did; for the Roman emperors required all to worship them and sacrifice to them, as a god. He was as a god.
He was to speak against the true God, and he did and persecuted all Christians. Verse 37- his fathers had worshiped idols, but the Roman emperors set themselves up as gods. Verse 38- the Roman emperors honored the god of forces, or (margin) munitions, and developed the greatest war-making power the world ever knew. "And a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things."
After setting themselves up as gods, before A.D. 476, the emperors who followed, beginning with Justinian, A.D. 554, began to honor with gold, silver and power a god in a high religious office never known to their fathers. Compare this prophecy of Daniel with Revelation 17:4, 5, and 18:3, 16. Verse 39- the emperors did acknowledge the supremacy of religion, increased it with material glory and caused it to rule over many.
Chapter 7: Prophecy Skips to Present
Now we come to the present century. Verse 40- "And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him…" Who was the king of the south? It could not have been the king of Egypt-at that time. In 31 B.C. Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire,- swallowed up by the king of the north. Today Egypt is a republic ruled by native Arabs.
But, in the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes -verse 7, 247-222 B.C., Egypt annexed part of Ethiopia, immediately south of Egypt. Rawlinson, pp. 272, 273. Since that time, the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica says -article Ethiopia. Egypt and Ethiopia were two or three times under the same government. The two were as one land. And the only portion of that land of the "king of the south" that remained independent was Ethiopia!
Ethiopia was the only country in all East Africa that continued independent, and had a government and kingdom dating back before the Roman Empire. It was the southern part of the kingdom of the south. At the time of the end of mans rule- a DUAL prophecy – the king of the south was to push at the king of the north!
In 1895 King Menelik, of Ethiopia, sent an army of 9,000 to 10,000 men against General Baratieri's Italian army. North of Ethiopia was Eritrea, belonging to Italy. And southeast was Italian Somaliland. In 1896 General Baratieri with 13,000 men tried to defend Eritrea against the Ethiopians. They lost 4,600 whites and 3,000 native troops, and more than 3,500 were taken prisoner. In a later engagement the Italians were cut to pieces because of their inexperience in fighting in mountainous country and because they were greatly outnumbered. This defeat was disastrous to Italian expansion in Africa.
Ever since, Italy demanded revenge! In 1927 Mussolini set the time, at just 40 years from that defeat, or 1935, when he would be ready "finally to make our voice heard, and see our rights recognized! "1935 came. The hour struck! Mussolini attacked! Now notice verse 40: "… and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over."
A whirlwind comes in the air, sweeping all before it. Mussolini did send a great air force into Africa! Also many modern "chariots" trucks, tanks, etc. and ships, loaded with soldiers. More than 100,000 sailed to Ethiopia. And, notice it, Mussolini's forces were to pass over- in the air! It is at this precise point in this prophecy that Mussolini's struggle in Ethiopia and in World War II ended. Mussolini did not finish the prophecy.
THERE IS YET ANOTHER LEADER TO ARISE IN EUROPE! Notice what will next happen! verse 41"He shall enter also into the glorious land… the Holy Land- Occupied by a European army!
When the coming revival of the Roman Empire, which will evolve out of the present European Union- takes The Holy Land, then the nations will be plunged into the initial phase of the last and final crisis at the close of this age of man's rule! Other prophecies reveal that this revival of the Roman Empire will bring into subjection- The United States and Britain. Note: With A Nuclear Weapons Attack On Our Cities And Military Installations! See 'The United States and Britain in Prophecy' and also America And Britain In Prophecy' on Page 1 of the America And Britain's Future Free Library.
Continues verse 41, "many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon" – the modern land of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The coming dictator will unite many others with him- 10 in Europe- Rev. 17:12- reviving the ancient Roman Empire.
Verse 42 says Egypt shall not escape. Note: As in 31B.C Egypt will be swallowed up by this coming European- Roman invasion. Verse 43 says the Libyans and Ethiopians (after its conquest by Mussolini, Ethiopia is not again referred to as the king of the south) shall be at his steps- and he will then control them. Italy lost control of Libya and Ethiopia after the war.
Verse 44- But news out of the East and out of the North shall trouble the revived Roman Empire. Russia and China will enter the war! Note: With a Nuclear Weapons attack on Germany!
Verse 45- The coming Roman Empire shall 'establish its palace', as capital of the revived Roman Empire and it's religious headquarters, AT JERUSALEM! Zechariah 14:2 says the city shall be taken!
"Yet He Shall Come To His End, and none shall help him"! This language signifies the end of the "beast" and the "false prophet" at the hand of God! You will find this described in Revelation 19:19-20 and Zechariah 14:12. See 'The Mark and 666' on Page 2 of the America and Britain's Future Free Library to have the beast and the head of the great false church explained fully.
And now what is the time of the end of mans rule on earth, at the close of this prophecy? The next verse, Daniel 12:1, says at the time of the resurrection of the just- at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ! This prophecy begins with the kingdoms of Syria and Egypt, soon after the death of Alexander the Great- 2,300 years ago. But it ends at the time of the resurrection and the Second Coming of Christ to bring peace at last to the region -and to the entire world! It is so plain, there can be no doubt of its correct application. Are you ready for that event? It is fast approaching.

Well, one fundamental aspect to consider is the perch – the place where they spend most of their time. Finding the perfect perch has several benefits to your bird's well-being, including foot health, exercise, and mental stimulation. Whether you're a seasoned bird enthusiast or a new owner, choosing the right bird perch stand or bird stand perch can be a daunting task. But fear not, we've got you covered! In this article, we'll guide you through the process of locating the best bird perch for your feathered friend. Let's dive in and learn more about bird perches!
Understanding the Benefits of a Bird Perch Stand
A bird perch stand is an essential accessory for any bird owner, whether you have a canary, parakeet, or larger exotic bird. A stand provides a comfortable and secure place for your bird to rest, exercise, and maintain proper foot health. It also adds an element of visual interest to your bird's enclosure. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of a bird perch stand.
Comfortable and Safe
A bird perch stand delivers a comfortable and safe location for your bird to rest. It's designed to mimic the branches of a tree, allowing your bird to move around and exercise its feet. The stand is positioned at a height that makes it feasible for your bird to come and go, while also keeping it safe from potential predators on the ground.
Choose the Right Stand for Your Bird
There are different types of bird perch stands available, each featuring its own set of features and advantages. For smaller birds, a tabletop stand might be sufficient, while larger birds will need a floor-standing stand. Some stands come with multiple perches or levels, perfect for birds that love to climb and explore.
It's important to pick a stand that is appropriate for your bird's size and species. Some birds prefer a wider perch, while others need a narrower one to exercise their feet properly. The stand should also be made from a safe and sturdy material that won't break or splinter.
Promotes Foot Health
A bird perch stand is also required for maintaining proper foot health. Inside the wild, birds perch on a variety of surfaces, each using a different texture. A stand with a natural wood surface will help keep your bird's feet healthy and strong. Additionally, a stand with varying widths and textures will help exercise your bird's feet, preventing foot problems that can occur from sitting on a flat surface.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the stand can also be important to avoid the build-up of bacteria or another harmful microorganisms that can result in infection or disease.
Overall, a bird perch stand is an essential accessory for keeping your feathered friend happy and healthy. With the right stand, you can provide a comfortable and safe place for your bird to rest and move around while also promoting proper foot health. Explore our selection of bird perch stands to find the perfect fit for your bird.
Selecting the best Bird Perch for Your Feathered Friend
When it comes to selecting the right perch for your bird, there are several important factors to consider. One of the key elements is the size of the perch. It must be large enough for your bird to comfortably stand on without its toes overlapping the edges. Additionally, the shape of the perch ought to be tailored to your bird's species, with some preferring flat surfaces and others preferring round shapes.
The material of the perch is also important to consider. Natural wood branches are a popular and comfortable option, but it's important to make sure they haven't been treated with any chemicals or pesticides. Other materials, including PVC or acrylic, are easy to clean and can be more comfortable for birds with foot problems.
Design is another crucial element to consider when picking the right perch. Some birds prefer perches with varying textures, such as bumpy or smooth surfaces. Others enjoy perches with toys attached for mental stimulation. It's essential to observe your bird's behavior and preferences to determine which sort of perch it will enjoy the most.
Ensuring Proper Foot Health
Birds spend time and effort on their perches, and it's essential to choose a perch that promotes proper foot health. Irregular or rough surfaces can cause foot problems, such as sores or infections. A bird perch stand that includes varying thicknesses or textures can help keep their feet healthy and strong. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the perch is also essential to prevent the spread of bacteria and disease.
Overall, choosing the right bird perch for your feathered friend is crucial for their happiness and well-being. By considering factors such as size, material, and design, you can provide a comfortable and safe home for your personal bird.
Ensuring Comfort and Health with the Perfect Bird Perch
Choosing the right bird perch is not only important for your feathered friend's comfort, but also for their overall health. A good bird perch stand should offer a comfortable spot for your bird to rest and fitness. It should also help maintain proper foot health, which is crucial for birds as they spend most of their time on their feet.
When selecting a bird stand perch, consider the size of your bird and their species-specific needs. A perch that is too small or too big can cause discomfort or injury. Choose a perch produced from materials that are easy to clean and maintain, such as natural wood or sturdy plastic.
Preventing Foot Problems
Foot issues are common in birds stored in captivity, especially if the perch is way too small or has a smooth surface. To prevent foot problems, choose a perch with a textured surface to provide a good grip for your bird's feet. A great bird perch stand should likewise offer variety in texture to promote foot health and prevent repetitive stress injuries.
An alternate way to prevent foot problems is usually to provide multiple perches of several sizes and shapes. This will allow your bird to exercise their feet and prevent muscle atrophy, which may cause long-term health problems.
Keeping It Clean
As with every other pet accessory, a bird perch stand requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Dirty perches can harbor bacteria and fungi that may make your bird sick. Clean the perch regularly with warm water and mild soap, and consider replacing it once it shows signs of wear.
By providing your bird with a comfortable and healthy perch, you can ensure they stay happy and active. Browse our collection of bird perches and stands to discover the perfect one for your feathered friend.
