So is there any man who had two times (a firm week) to cause WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology Tour with a finish of kissing the ring of the Saudi prince over the Ka’aba in Mecca? Is there any man who changed the region of the first (Sumer, Mesopotamia, the Middle East) by Arab Spring? Is there any man who removed three kings in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia in 29 days (less than a month) in 2011 during the Arab Spring? When Egypt declared the elections after were rigged and wanted to do re-election, but did they not do it as they were told, if they did all American monetary support would be taken away from Egypt? Was the desire of American women denied in the sense they never got Hillary Clinton and certainly if the world comes to a close in the next 7 months they won’t ever get a female President like Kamala Harris (and thank God for that)? Did he put a piece of paper into the Wailing Wall, so grain offering in the “wing” of the Jewish temple? Was he ruined to prosper in the sense hatred grew under the timeframe of Donald Trump? Did we make it through both his times and the cut off time with no serious issues for Jews in America or in Israel? Did Jacob’s trouble begin in the midst of a week of an image of his time? Is the world choosing to hate Israel after October 7th, 2023? Do people scream for peace when if it is achieved it is unlikely as West Bank and Gaza Strip have finally been shown how to have a Glory in Islam over Israel? If Gaza Strip gets peace would they attack again, and if they did would West Bank watch the second time and want no glory for themselves?
1) BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA - (the firm week) of 8 years
First time as 2009-2012 - Second time 2013-2016
2) DONALD TRUMP - The Cut-Off time
2017-2020
3) JOE BIDEN - an image of a beast time, in the midst of a week, of an image of his time, desolation in Jerusalem to spread to all the world - for then cometh Annihilation, the perishing of the end.
SO WHAT IS THE STORY THAT PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW???
Amos 1:6-7 “For thus saith Yahweh, “for three transgressions of Gaza, four, I will not revoke being against: they capture people at peace with them (1) and bring them to be shut up (2), bloody (3). And send fire over the wall of Gaza (4), and consume all of the citadels.”
Habakkuk 1:9-11 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god.”
Obadiah 1:10-11 “from out of Hamas, your brother, a deceiver, cover your shame, and you will be cut off forever. In that day you stood afar, on the day the strangers were carried away in strength. And the stranger entered to cast lots for Jerusalem, then you were one of them.”
John 5:43 “I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”
Luke 10:18 “and He (Jesus) said, “I saw Satan as Barack Obama.”
Micah 6:16 "It is owed unto America, and all who work the deed and the house Ahaz ("he has grasp the ten") and watch and keep you with their strange counsel. Walk in it for the purpose; I will give you up to desolation. And your inhabitants shall be a derision, for you will bear and be a reproach my people."
Hosea 10:10 “It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows (West Bank and Gaza Strip).”
Obadiah 1:12-13 “Do not gloat over your brother’s day of taking strangers captive, nor rejoice in the day the sons of Judah are destroyed, do not boast in the day of distress. You should never enter at the gate of My people, in the day of their distress. Moreover do not gloat over their calamity in the day of their disaster, sending wealth in the day of disaster.”
Hosea 7:16 “Return ALLAH, deceive to ensnare their princes (the ten idiots from the remains of the Ottoman Empire who already had to deal with Arab Spring and the removal of kings in one month in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia), they shall fall by the sword of an insolent tongue, they mocking in the land of Egypt”
Luke 17:24 “Only as Barack Obama exits heavens in one part and then thus exalts (Allah) Obama, then doeth the Son of man have His day.”
Isaiah 14:14 "Allah Obama ab dama elyown."
Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High."
I believe other summer ones include A Room with a View, Tender is the Night, Bel-Ami, The Summer Book, and Bonjour Tristesse. The last one is on my TBR this summer, before it gets checked out of the library!
Oh my gosh, yes. I love A Room With a View so much, both the book and the movie. You've added some great books here.
@@juliehughes1258 Thank you! I've actually yet to read A Room with a View, but I'm looking forward to it!
@@aquaviolin07 Well, I watched the movie first so, when I read the book, I imagined Lucy Honeychurch as Helena Bonham Carter! I need to read the book first so that I can be the casting director.
Great picks, Carolyn! The Bell Jar and Call me by your name are great. Bonjour tristesse is another good one. 💖📚
I saw Bonjour Tristesse at the bookstore the other day and was tempted to get it 😊 Glad to hear you recommend it!
Foster sounds great!
I love reading Rohinton Mistry in summer, and my favorite book of his is A fine balance, set in India, a masterpiece.
Currently reading The Secret Life of Bees, definitely a must read in the summer!
Oh yes, such a heartfelt story!
I love winter books at the moment. It’s winter in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
perfect & same. i just finished jane eyer ; i live in southern USA & its so humid its practically raining!
I read the R C Sherriff book A Fortnight in September, I enjoyed it, too. It's a lovely read and the setting of the holiday is so relaxing and evocative.
As always just a lovely video with excellent recommendations. Ahh, The Bell Jar. I read it decades ago when I studied Plath. I'm thinking to read it again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed these recommendations 😊
Bognor Regis,
In West Sussex is where the family in fortnight in September go on their holiday. I absolutely loved this book! Thanks Carolyn you’ve mentioned some great summer reads here 🤍📖
My mind immediately goes to Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury if anyone is looking for a book that captures the feeling of being a kid during summer. ☀️🧢 It has been a few years since I read it, but I highly recommend!
This is the book that made me fall in love with reading!! Deeply love & highly recommend
Ooo okay! I’m intrigued 😄📖🌞 I’ll definitely look into reading it (especially in summer) Thank you!
@@ipapaveri that’s amazing!
@@CarolynMarieReadsof course!! I remember it being more vibes than plot, and really makes you feel that magic of summer -
Also never realized foster was set in the summer! After reading small things like these at Christmas I assumed they were both wintery novellas. Need to finally read foster!
Oh I have to read Swimming in the Dark! It sounds so good.
You are the second person who has recommended A Fortnight in Summer! It sounds perfect for me at this time.
I also loved Foster - a short book if you're looking for a quick read.
I loved you recommendations, I added them all to my tbr. Can’t wait to read them.
❤📚❤️ Such a great list of summer reads, thank you!
I read The Bell Jar in my twenties and still think about it. I bought a necklace that has "IamIamIam" on it!
I'm almost finished with This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger, a perfect summer read!! Four children ran away from a horrible situation in 1932, and their journey in a canoe down a river in the heat of summer and all the people they meet along the way.
I'm currently reading a chunky fantasy trilogy (The Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb), so I've picked up some short books with summer vibes to read on the side: A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr, People in the Summer Night by F.E. Sillanpää, Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsey and maybe The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro and a reread of The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. And I'm adding Foster to the list now, too, thanks to you :).
Those are some great reads! I’ve been wanting to read The Sunmer Book for a while now, so I’ll have to prioritize it 😊 Best of luck with reading your chunky fantasy trilogy!
Thanks 😊! I think you might really like Tove Jansson's writing, hope to hear your thoughts about The Summer Book soon !
Enjoy your summer Carolyn!! Newlywed summer of Love!!
Thank you, you too 😊
Nice ... I added Coleridge to my summer poetry reading list ... And then some!
Absolutely agree with you! Call me by your name is an absolutely summer story!
this is perfectttt, thank you so much for this video, i really think i’m gonna start reading foster (gonna be my first claire keegan!)
For Swimming in the Dark, the character's name is pronounced Yanoosh 😁 (I'm Polish!)
Thank you for letting me know 😊
What a fun, creative idea for this video. Cheers!
Summer is such a great time to read .
I would also recommend Kazuo Ishiguro's remains of the day (granted I'm only 30 pages in)
Happy Summer to You!
Hi Carolyn!
What edition of *East of Eden* are you reading? I love the French flaps.
❤❤❤
Hi! I need some help. I am starting to read the song of achilles. Does anyone have an idea on how to annotate it?😅
These are such good recommendations! To add one of my own, I would recommend you & everyone to read Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. It is such a lush and epic heartbreak of a book, with such beautiful writing. Read it on the grass when the bees are buzzing and breezes duke it out with the humidity.
Prodigal Summer is one of my favourites of all time! I read it years ago, but I’ve just finished listening to the audiobook narrated by Barbara Kingsolver. Fantastic!
💯
I am planning to read Foster soon. Thanks for the recommendation.
I have a video idea for you. It may be awkward for you as an American though. Do you have some book recommendations for long train journey? Preferably overnight train journey? 😅It‘s for those from Europe. 😊 Thanks!
I hope you enjoy it! My pleasure :)
That’s a great video idea! We also have long (overnight) train journeys in America, especially since it’s such a big country 😄 Books for long train journeys that first came to mind are: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (it’s long, captivating, and partly set on a train), Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (also set on a train and perfect for readers of mystery fiction), A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway (a beautiful non-fiction about Hemingway living in Paris in the 1920s), Circe by Madeline Miller (It’s a gorgeous sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of story. It’s not an extremely long book, but it feels like a grand journey), The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (a gripping historical fiction which will capture your attention for the whole train journey) 📖 I hope this is helpful!
@@CarolynMarieReadsThank you. Making a note of it ❤😊
Crime and Punishment would be an intense summer read 😅
Summer book recs to add:
-The Cloisters, by Katy Hays (summer in NYC, mystery, hints of magic and romance, museum settings)
-To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf (family vacationing, small life, outdoors, stream of consciousness. Amazing book)
-Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe (high seas adventures, cast away, islands, survival)
-Fruits Basket (manga series, magic, love, coming of age, overcoming grief, hope & humor)
-The Language of Thorns, Leigh Bardugo (fantasy, fairy tales in the vein of Grimm, short story collection great for busy summer days)
-Summer, Edith Wharton (small country town, rescued orphan, summer romance, betrayal, short fiction)
The Stranger is another summer read.
Have you read Sweet Bean Paste, by Durian Sukegawa, a Japanese writer? It came to my attention recently and looks like a nice read.
Her last video included a review of that book - she also showed a sketch she did having to do with the book.
I just finished it the other day! It broke my heart (in the best way) 🥹📖🤍
I'd guess "The Quiet Girl" is a tribute (the title at least) to John Wayne's "The Quiet Man," a story about an American boxer who moves to Ireland while still unmarried. It also stars Maureen O'Hara.
Hey beautiful
Could u recommend some novels which r a mixture of cute rainy tropical clean romance NON literary Young adult setting all in one book 😊 I know u may have more than a couple in mind
Cuz these r actually my favourite things all in one book
Not a Young Adult novel, but probably worth a look: Green Mansions by W. H. Hudson.
The story? Abel, is a Venezuelan of European extraction. He is sophisticated, charming, accustomed to city life. However, he grows tired of city life, and heads out into the jungle. When there, he encounters a mysterious forest girl, named Rima. He becomes obsessed her. But she proves elusive....
It was first published 1904, so it should be a classic. Still available as a reprint/ reissue.
Hope that helps.
May I make a suggestion for a wonderful book to read this summer? “Freely By His Grace”. Classical Grace Theology edited by J.B. Hixson, Rick Whitmire, and Roy B. Zuck. Your welcome!
Are you going to make more bookmarks?
Yes! I’ve already ordered more, so a restock will be happening soon 😊
I would also add breasts and eggs! great Japanese novel to read in the summer C:
Yesss one of my favorites! I love her writing so much 📖💕
I kinda love it that you love stories about wars,
it means you've never experienced war up close, if you had you wouldn't have found it as appealing, and the pain way too personal, trust me on this one.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing, I envy you.
Summer started a while ago dear. Saying it's official suggests you've just been given a belated notification by sweet Mother Nature. Sylvia Plath, Sylvia Plath, Sylvia Plath 😴 Not really the ideal way to kick-start the season of sun-worship isn't it, when we finally get to say to Richard Dawkins face, "I'm a bloody pantheist mate!" How about one of dem travel books, hmmm? 🤣 Enjoy the summer!
I'm thinking of The Stranger by Camus and the Awakening by Chopin. ☀️🌡
Oooo yes!!!
