The week is drawing to an end, and as I predicted two weeks ago, many states are locking down once again due to (so they claim) a rise in positive test results due to too many freeborn citizens having too much fun over the Thanksgiving holiday.   We are living in a dystopian world, folks, where all fun and traditions will soon be outlawed.   It reminds of a passage from Orwell’s “1984”:

There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life.

Well, we’ll see.  We  haven’t run out of history quite yet.  Speaking of history, lets get to some Hebrew history.  We are up to “The Dynasty of the Kings” in our study of The Story of the Old Testament.
