BOBBEE BEE: CORONAVIRUS-CHINESE BUFFET

“they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination...the bat."-Lev 11:19

EASY LIKE MONDAY MORNING: ALL YOU CAN EAT CHINESE BUFFET?

by eric d.graham

In life, there are rules. There are rules in basketball. (No double dribbling. No traveling.) They are rules in football. (No Holding. No Pass Interference.) There are rules and laws in driving an automobile. (No Drinking and Driving) So forth. And, so on. And, in all cases, they are penalties when one breaks these rules or laws.

With that said, why don’t we think that there will be consequences if we break the dietary laws set up for us to follow by the Most High? But, for some odd reason, we, especially, so-called Black People) feel we can eat anything-we want- without any side effects, health risk or complications. For, it seems, as if, it’s an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET at the Golden Corral WHEN IT COMES TO US!!!! Anything goes. No limitations.

Then, along comes the NEW CORONAVIRUS , in the year of the Rat, that originated in Wuhan, China, which, has killed at least 910 people and infected more than 40,500. The coronavirus, according to BusinessInsider, is a zoonotic disease, meaning it jumps from animals to humans. The SARS coronavirus, which killed 774 people in the early 2000s, jumped from BATS to civets to people. The Wuhan coronavirus is also thought to have originated in BATS, which may have passed the disease to one of a few potential intermediary species, which then passed it to humans.

And, while, we are aware that this could be a part of the Chinese military manufactured biological weapon department, as Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton has suggested. We, first, must discuss why the Book of Leviticus Chapter 11 gave US a STRICT dietary law…on what We, as the children of Israel, should and should not eat:

“Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ..YOU SHALL NOT EAT: the CAMEL, ROCK HYRAX, HARE, THE SWINE…(Their) CARCASSES YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH . THEY ARE UNCLEAN TO YOU……

(AND).. .Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you. And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they SHALL NOT BE EATEN, they are an ABOMINATION: the EAGLE, the VULTURE, the BUZZARD, the KITE, and the FALCON. Every RAVEN, THE OSTRICH, THE SHORT-EARED OWL, THE SEA GULL, THE HAWK, THE LITTLE OWL, THE FISHER OWL, THE SCREECH OW, THE WHITE OWL, THE JACKDAW, AND THE CARRION VULTURE, THE STORK, THE HERON, THE HOOPOE AND THE BAT.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! THE BIBLE SAY NOT TO EAT THE BAT…

Now, while Bats have been identified as a possible carrier of 2019-nCov, which was first detected last month in vendors at a wet market selling live and dead exotic fauna in the southern Chinese city of Wuhan, it was the “shocking” footage of a famous Chinese vlogger named Wang Mengyun, using chopsticks to tear into the wings of a bat — cooked whole with face and fangs intact — at “a Wuhan restaurant” online, which caused most of the backlash surrounding this virus.

Not surprisingly, Wang, later, claimed, this bat soup was not filmed in Wuhan or even China-but in Palau, Micronesia, three years ago as a travel segment for her vlog.

Since Ms Wang’s BAT soup clip was recirculated, scores of graphic videos featuring people hoeing into live baby crabs, spurting sea cucumbers, octopuses, frogs, lizards and other creatures as they wriggle helplessly, have made their way online.

Despite this fact, the Bible Leviticus continues to WARN US about what NOT TO EAT... THE MOLE, THE MOUSE, AND THE LARGE LIZARD. THE GECKO, THE MONITOR LIZARD, THE SAND REPTILE, THE SAND LIZARD, AND THE CHAMELEON. These are unclean to you.

So, EAT TO LIVE. DON’T LIVE TO EAT, as The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad foretold us.

And, remember the story of Daniel in (Daniel 1:8-15) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: HOLY IS YOUR NAME

 SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: HOLY IS YOUR NAME

by eric d.graham

According to Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches....” Unfortunately, in the hells of North America, the so-called Negro, has had to live his entire life with the last name of his or her “oppressors” or slave-masters. (Deut: 28:48)

Understand and Overstand, that the last names attached to our family linage and heritage, is due to slavery, and denotes, whom our families were enslaved to….Hence, the names such as Jones, Washington, Newkirk, Murphy, Dixon, Wallace, Newton, Williams or Graham, so far and so on, is a historical indicator, who owned our ancestors.

Meaning, for instance, Eric Graham-means (Eric) is the property of the Graham family, which surname is English or Scottish.

We saw evidence of this in the film Roots by Alex Haley, where Kunta Kinte, which was the name displayed on the shirt wore by Colin Kaepernick as a symbolic form of resistance to the way the NFL has been treating him during his workout session in Atlanta after his kneeling during the National Anthem, was beaten and whipped until he was forced to take the slave name Toby. (Ecclesiastes 7:7)

This is why the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, (Mal.4:5) while decoding the scripture, referred to so-called Black people, as the Lost Tribe of Shabazz, or the Lost Sheep from the Tribe of Israel (Matt 15:24) and gave the members of the Nation of Islam the letter X, meaning “UNKNOWN” to replace their slave masters’ last name.

For those in the know, the letter X, does NOT just mean-UNKNOWN. It also stands for the Greek letter Chi, which means Christós (Χριστός) anointed, as well as, RESURRECTION OR OSIRIS “Lord of the Perfect Black,” (Check out the movie Black Panther, who is seen boldly standing with his arms crossed)whom symbolically is represented as LAZARUS, who is RAISED from the Dead in the Bible. (John 11:38-44). By the way, according to certain scholars, LAZARUS stands for (LAZ-equal to Ras, meaning RAISED UP) and (ARUS) mummified.

Let’s not forget, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad was a Master Mason, who knew the legend of Hiram Abiff, who, as the story is told, was assassinated by three ruffians, whom he stated, historically, represented France, Great Britain, and Spain. Of course, there were other co-conspirators in this violent crime.

One struck him in the throat denying him access to (speak). Another struck him in the heart, denying him access to (God, or Faith) and the Last struck him in the head (denying him access to KNOWLEDGE).

Despite this conspiracy to KILL the so-called Black Man & Woman, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, & PHYSICALLY in the Hells of North America (Babylon), while lying to die, in the SHADOW of valley of DRY BONES, was RAISED BACK UP by the Son of Man!!! This is why the Most Honorable Marcus Garvey shouts “UP, UP, UP, YOU MIGHTY RACE!!! ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU CAN!!

Biblically, this story, is symbolically, foretold in the Book of Ezekiel 37:1-14, which states:

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me OUT in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to PASS by them ROUND about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, SON OF MAN, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall LIVE.

This is why changing of a person’s name has great importance in the Biblical text. For instance, metaphorically, Abram’s name was changed to Abraham in connection with his NEW name calling him to be “a father of many nations” in (Gen 17:5)-as well as-Jacob, who was given the NEW name (Israel) (Isis-Ra-El) (Gen 32:28; 35;10)

SEE, in the giving or taking of new names is a crucial turning point in a person’s life. Hence, Simon was given the name Peter, the “ROCK” upon, which the new community of the church would be built (Matt.16:18). Hence, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad gave the Heavyweight Champion of the World (Cassius Clay) the Holy name Muhammad Ali. (Gal 4:7) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY (DISCUSSING THE LIFE OF KOBE)

"A fool vents all his feelings. But, a wise man holds them back." Pro.(29:11)

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY 

by eric d.graham

At this moment of time, as the world continues to mourn the death of our "beloved" brother, Kobe Bryant, there are several lessons, we, all, could learn, from this tragedy.

For this reason, historically, I compare the passing of Kobe to that of America's 35th president John F.Kennedy, who was assassinated in November of 1963, which the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in all of his divine wisdom, commanded all of his ministers in the Nation of Islam, not to comment about his tragic death. (I Tim 5:17).

Despite, Elijah Muhammad's words of wisdom, which can be highlighted in the Book of Proverbs Chapter 1 (verses 20 thru 33,) Malcolm X, however, FOOLISHLY, decided to go against his instructions, which lead to him being suspended from the NOI, by making his infamous "a case of the chickens coming home to roost” statement after being interviewed, which he said later was misinterpreted by the press.

And, while, this historical moment will be debated forever, Malcolm, with all of his political savvy, street smarts, and intellectual wit, may have been accurate in his statement about JFK, as a form of poetic justice, his decision to go against the WISE OLD MAN, who instructed him not to address this issue, showed his lack of WISDOM at that time. Why? Because, The Messenger knew the people loved this man, despite his politics. Plus, Malcolm didn't allow the people, the nation, and the family, who were still in the state of shock, in the state of mourning, to grieve during this period of extreme sadness and sorrow.

The Book of Proverbs Chapter (2 verse 1-8) which is Sub-Titled (The Value of Wisdom) states: 2 My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you. So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding. Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding. If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures. Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice."

With this in mind, different yet the same, similar to Malcolm, at the time of Kobe's death along with his daughter Gigi and those other seven people, who died in the helicopter crash, some people acted, reacted, and foolishly commented about the incident without regard to the families feelings, instantly, which included: posts about conspiracy theories involving Blood Sacrifices, illuminati connections, the death of Rick Foxx, a cartoon predicting Bryant's death, a Freudian slip from MSNBC reporter Allison Morris, who called the LA Lakers- the Los Angeles “Niggers,”jokes from comedian Ari Shaff saying Bryant was a rapist, and inaccurate reporting from ABC News correspondent, which led to his suspension after he erroneously reported on Sunday that all four of Kobe Bryant's daughters were on the helicopter that crashed.

Truly, this was not wise at all. For, the Book of Proverbs (29:11) states: "A fool vents all his feelings. But, a wise man holds them back."

Even the former Hot 97 SHOCK JOCK, Troi Torain, half of the highly rated Star & Buc Wild morning team, who was suspended indefinitely for mocking R&B star Aaliyah's death in 2001, showed a level of maturity by showing respect to KOBE after the death of the "beloved" baller.

And, while, Bryant, like all of us, was a flawed individual, as Romans 3:23 states: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"we, however, saw him evolve right before our eyes to be more than a basketball player, who, un-like, Fox News Lauren Ingraham suggested should "just shut up and dribble."

Matter of fact, Bryant's life after basketball might have been more impressive than all of his on court accolades and championship rings. Especially, with his special-bond and relationships with his daughters.

So, while, some may still try to judge the life of Kobe, as the world continues to mourn his passing , the Book of Colossians 3:12-17, which is entitled THE CHARACTER OF THE NEW MAN, states it perfectly:

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: DEALING WITH DEATH (KOBE BRYANT)

"Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted"Mat:5:4

DEALING WITH DEATH by Eric D. Graham

Death comes early in the morning. So, heed the warning. But, how do we deal with Death when it comes? Some of us ease the pain of death by participating in funeral rituals, prayer, songs, sermons, poems, floral arrangements, and burial ceremonies. While others, try to cope with the pain, by self-medicating, by drinking, smoking, and overeating. Despite these acts, psychologically, there are 5 stages of dealing with grief, which most of us go through, which we may not be aware of .
Those five stages are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

1. The initial stage of grief recognizes normal reactions that include: shock, denial, unreality, emotional outpouring, psychological and physical symptoms (e.g. inability to think straight, feeling panicky, bodily aches, and pains, which the person may say, "I can't believe Momma is dead. This can't BE REAL"...Along with the SHOCK and DENIAL comes DEPRESSION, which a person is likely to be fearful about what life has instore for them after the funeral and may be constantly defeated by irrational thoughts and belief such as "my life is over.."

2. The second stage involves SURVIVOR''S GUILT-which a person may think "I could have done so much more...If I had just done this instead (A lot of Military Soldiers experience this after losing a comrade on the battlefield ". NEXT, is Anger, which is such a powerful emotion that some people if they don't release it, can be consume by it.. forever. So, they become ANGRY with GOD, the person, who DIED, as well as their family and friends. I have seen it on the faces of Grandmothers, mothers, aunties, cousins, sons, and daughters, who struggle with the lost of a love one, who say: "GOD, how could you do this to me?" Along with ANGER, comes RESENTMENT towards the deceased, which comes in the form of comments like:"Momma, how could you leave me? I need you...."
This is also considered part of the BARGAINING factor, which happens often at African-American funerals, where a family member, after viewing the body, for the last time- may say;" Take me God...But, please don't take my momma.... Usually, this comes with a form of Idealism, which the deceased family member, becomes the "perfect person" in the eye's of the one dealing with his death.
Regardless of, what the person did in his or her life. After his or her death, he did no wrong.

3. And. the Final Stage of Grief is ACCEPTANCE, when the person comes to realistic terms with life and death of their loved one, while understanding that they are no longer physically present and appreciating both the positive and negative aspects of their lives. Therefore, they must make some readjustment and emotional investment in their lives, while developing a stronger inner sense of self, yet acknowledge, appreciate, and cherish the contributions the deceased person made in their lives ...."I did what I could...Now, I have to let go of some of this Denial, Anger, Sadness, Resentment, and Guilt...And, get back to Normal.. get on with my life, learn how to smile again, laugh again and love again."

BOBBEE BEE: SHOULD THE NBA CHANGE IT'S LOGO (KOBE BRYANT)

FOUL OR FUMBLE: SHOULD THE NBA CHANGE LOGO

While the sports world continues to mourn the loss of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Fans are finding ways to honor "The Black Mamba," ensuring his legacy lives on. For instance, many continue to gather at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, dressed in Bryant's purple and gold Lakers' jersey, while bringing flowers, basketballs, messages of love and Lakers apparel to put on display.

Some, however, have gone a little farther by choosing to honor the future Hall of Famer by petitioning for the NBA to change its logo from a silhouette of Jerry West to one of Bryant.
If you believe this is a great way to immortalize Bryant's image forever go to The Change.com petition and sign up.

As of Thursday night, the petition has almost three million signature. (Source:CBS) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: KOBE BRYANT: THE BLACK MAMBA

KOBE BRYANT: THE BLACK MAMBA by eric d.graham

The Most Hated, The Most Motivated
He’s Jordan Updated. I know, it’s been Debated
But, he was born with Killer Instinct
And I don’t care, what you think
Nobody is better than Kobe.If there is, then show me
Cause I am about to SET IT OFF
So, let’s get ready for the Playoffs
And I am sorry, Kevin Durant
But it’s like comparing a Giant to an Ant
And, I can’t lie. I LOVE THIS GUY
Cause, he is the Last Samurai
With a Jujitsu Jumper
Same game; Different number
So don’t HATE number 8
Because he is still great
And I still want to see more
Can I get an encore?
Now, it’s 24
And I still get chills when he walks on the floor
Cause he attacks the rim like a Viper
A.K.A, the L.A.Sniper
Clutch Shooter; Poor Loser
No need for College Recruiters
Because he went from High School
Straight to the Pros
And we all know
There ain’t No need for Passin’
Because he is an Assassin
A Big Game Gunslinger
With Five Rings and Nine Fingers
And he is still number One
Because I have seen him drop 81
Against the Raptors.Sorry, Philly Haters
He is a Big-Shot Maker, Future Hall Fame Player
The Greatest Laker

And I must confess,

He is the Best in the “WEST”
And Phil Jackson, you can’t teach GREATEST
So, please forgive me,
I’m simply stating the FACTS.But, he did it without SHAQ
Besides, The Black Mamba is BACK!!!
His dunks are still Acrobatic. This is Supreme Mathematics
He is better than Magic
Greater than Kareem, He is a One-Man Team
And he’s WORTHY
Of all the Praise
Ever since he graduated from the 12th grade
Because, he is smooth as silk
With a jumper sweeter than Jamal Wilkes
And, even New York’s Spike Lee
Knows KOBE
Got’s Game
Just watch the way he glides down the lane
And listen to the way the crowd screams his name
And I am not talking about LeBron James
So, check him out as he dribbles between his legs
Along the baseline, Watch his Hang time
Now press rewind
Because, the more you press rewind
The more you will find
Kobe Bryant, The “Greatest of All Times”

BOBBEE BEE: FLIRTING with FAME; DANCING WITH DEATH

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: FLIRTING with FAME; DANCING WITH DEATH 

by eric d.graham

Even in the height of the so-called “Me Too Generation and the Hot Girl Summer,” where we have seen Jeffrey Epstein’s elaborate sex trafficking ring exposed, documentaries revealing and criminalizing the sexual acts of R. Kelly, rape cases against Harvey Weinstein being placed on trial, and the imprisonment of Bill Cosby, oddly, one of the most celebrated films of 2019 was entitled Hustlers, which was inspired by a New York Magazine article that follows a crew of former strippers, who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients by “seducing’ and “drugging” them.

The film, while imitating life, features Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B, a former “stripper” herself, who confessed on VLADTV to have drugged and “tricked” many “Johns” in the past in order to steal their money. But, in a world, turned upside down and inside out, entertainers like Cardi B., who has made a change for the better and Black China (Ezekiel 16:44) have become role models for some females. However, The Book of Proverbs 5: (3-10) describes these types of women this way: For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it. Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say. Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house, lest you lose your honor to others and your dignity to one who is cruel, lest strangers feast on your WEALTH and your toil ENRICH the house of another.”

Along with this physical form of prostitution, there is also a level of political prostitution, as well, where politicians for the love of money, which is, “THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL” will sell their souls to the highest bidder. (1 Timothy 6:10)

Now, unfortunately, the strip club culture, in this generation, has been “shamelessly” celebrated and promoted by Jewish-ran Hollywood, where twerking and “shaking it for the dough” has become a form of idolatry and worship, which has many of our young people, spell bounded, (MagicCity) offering up their tithes and offering to the pimps in the underworld along with these seductive dancers, who twirl around poles, rather than the pimps/ or prosperity preachers in the churches. Please, don’t misinterpret my logic. For, I am not condemning the art of dancing. There is nothing new under the sun. Because, in the Book of Hosea (4:12-14) it states: A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God. . “I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes— a people without understanding will come to ruin!"

Despite these facts, the strip club mystique, again with the assistance of Jewish Hollywood, has also been fused into the porn industry, which dominates “most” google searches throughout the Internet, creating a level of “sexual deviants”, pedophilia, and a culture of sex trafficking. It also has influenced Instagram posts and pictures, where the Daughters of Zion have been identified as T.H.O.T.S (The Hoes Over There,) while posing in front of their bathroom mirrors with their cellphones in hand, lips puckered,poking out their butt for the world to see in order to receive (likes and comments) from strangers, which was made popular by Kim Kardashian. Bishop Eddie Long failed victim to this counterculture as well. Yeah, beware; there are male prostitutes out there too. ( 1 Kings 14:24 )

We witnessed this "strip-club" culture recently when 8X Grammy nominee Lizzo and TIME magazine The Entertainer of The Year, who, shamefully, displayed her backside publicly at a Lakers game. The Book of Lamentations Chapter 1(7-8) address this issue this way:"Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall. Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore she has become an object of scorn. All who honored her now despise her, for they have seen her NAKEDNESS…

Let’s remember historically, during slavery, our women, were stripped of their clothes and dignity, while standing NAKED on the auction blocks by our “oppressors “or slave masters, where they were made prostitutes, breeders or “bed-wenches, a low-status concubine, often a slave, used for sex, or, in modern day terms a Black woman, who date a white person, in order to seek privilege.

With that said, remember what The Book of Revelation, which referred to Babylon as A Whore, The Mother of Prostitutes and Abomination on Earth, which was/is symbolic seen as a female figure, states, “All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy through the extravagance of her luxury.” Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: TWO-FACES IN ONE

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."-James 1:8

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSONS: TWO-FACES IN ONE by eric d. graham

We can't deny it. But, we can feel it in that black night air, lurking in the darkness of our minds, creeping in the corners of our consciousness. We, all, have seen the "thoughtless" twits, the Confederate flags waving in the wind, the "White Supremacy" signs (O.K.) flashed on television in plain sight, the Nazi-salutes in photographs, the bleeding red MAGA hats, which are worn as a political fashion statement during theIr campaign rallies.

This is not a figment of your imagination. We heard the racist rhetoric spewing out the mouth of the President, who has tried to provide enough "red-meat" for his "barking" attack dogs to consume, without choking. Unfortunately, for him, however, some of the "dogs" have bitten the hand that have fed them after smelling something "fishy" in the stew beef, which was purchased from a kosher supermarket in Tel Aviv.

Now, in the month of January, which was named after a two-FACED Roman deity, Trump FACES impeachment for his DOUBLE-DEALING with Ukraine a day after the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, which he claims "are constitutionally invalid on their FACE."(James 1:8)

On the flip side of the coin, however, like the DC Comic super villain TWO-FACE aka Harvey Dent from Batman, who is obsessed with CHANCE and FATE as the result of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and dissociative identity disorder, former "Black-FACED" governor Ralph Northam of Virginia FACES possible MAYHEM from gun-right activist, who feel that their Second Amendment rights are being eroded.

As the tension increases, Psalm Chapter 11 verse 5 states:
"The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion."

Despite this scripture, there is yet another CIVIL WAR brewing between the old and new Virginia, like the one that occurred in Charlottesville in 2017, which has caused the governor to declare a state of emergency throughout the weekend, warning the police units that “armed militia groups have planned to storm the Capitol.”

“I took this action to protect Virginians from credible threats of violence,” Gov.Northam said in a statement. “These threats are real — as evidenced by reports of neo-Nazis arrested this morning after discussing plans to head to Richmond with firearms.”

So, as we celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King's Non-Violence Peaceful Protest on Monday, remember Proverbs 3:31, which states: " Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways" on Tuesday. -KINGDOM BUILDING-(bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: RENEWING OF THE MIND

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: RENEWING OF THE MIND
by eric d.graham

According to the scripture, Pro. (23:7)“as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” With that said, let’s analyze the psychological term known as IMPOSTER SYNDROME, which is an obsessive internalization of a persistent fear that you are going to be found out to be a fraud, or the collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success.

We see this in the world of sports, entertainment, academics and in the professional world, where one struggles with the idea that they are not good enough or incompetent. For instances, we have all seen the quarterbacks, Black or Caucasian, struggle with this concept after throwing an interception, making a bad read, or losing a big game. Especially, if he was drafted as the #1 overall draft pick or selected in the first round.

Usually, these players suffer from a bad case of self-doubt, which is fueled after reading their own press. Whether on-line, via twitter and Facebook accounts. Or, by simply listening to an endless amount of talk-radio, or even worst, watching the 24-hour loop of roundtable discussion on YouTube, from ESPN and FoxSports analysts, who question their greatness, salaries, and existence in the league.

SEE, begin a professional athlete can be a lonely journey, despite all the glitz and glamour. As a result, many, especially, those, who play the QB position in the NFL, start feeling, as if, they don’t belong or are unqualified to be under center. So, after a few bad games, many of them find their confidence and self-esteem shattered within two years, subjugated to a back-up status within three and out of the league after five, where they are forgotten by the “fans” and replaced by the next round of college athletes in the upcoming draft, who will be praised and viewed as the saviors of the franchise.

With all of this pressure, many players start developing (NEGATIVE SELF TALK), while becoming obsessed with being validated by others, second guessing themselves, questioning their identity, losing themselves to a point of delusion by the way of social and political isolation, forcing themselves to total assimilate, through inter-racial marriages in order to survive or co-exist in the unwelcomed, emotional, judgmental, stressful, racially charged environment known as the NFL, where some become depressed, which leads to substance abuse issues, (cocaine, steroids, pain pills, alcohol, marijuana) And, in the worst case jail time for committing a crime.

Along with all of this, psychologically, many Black players also may experience bouts of RACIAL BATTLE FATIGUE, a concept coined by William Smith, which attempted to address the issues Black students face while trying to survive in the toxic atmosphere of Higher Education within the “White” University school system, where they must be 3X better than their White counterparts. Even though, there is not a level playing field. For this reason, Racial Battle Fatigue has been compared to post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by military soldiers, who have been bombarded with the stresses of dealing in chronic hostile environments. In the case of the Black athlete, however, the constant stresses of “being the first fired; last hired” haunts their psyche, as well as, the constant verbal abuse coming from coaches and fans, which can be racially charged, where one is often seen as some kind of slave, savage, toy, criminal, rapist, or Beast on the field and outside of the arena when they remove their helmets and shoulder pads by the media.

This could lead to a form of COGNITIVE DISTORTION, which means perception becomes one’s reality and a self-fulfilling prophecy, where one does exactly what one believes he would do.
This is why all of the players in the NFL must read Romans 12:2, which states: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

So, to all of those young signal callers, as well as veteran QB's, back-ups included: KEEP THE FAITH doing the playoff whether you WIN or LOSE. (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: GLOBAL WARFARE

GLOBAL WARFARE: “We’re Going to Take out 7 Countries in 5 Years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..”

by General Wesley Clark

Well, starting with Iraq, then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya, then Somalia and Sudan, and back to Iran. So when you look at Iran, you say, “Is it a replay?” It’s not exactly a replay. But here’s the truth: that Iran, from the beginning, has seen that the presence of the United States in Iraq was a threat — a blessing, because we took out Saddam Hussein and the Baathists. They couldn’t handle them. We took care of it for them. But also a threat, because they knew that they were next on the hit list. And so, of course, they got engaged. They lost a million people during the war with Iraq, and they’ve got a long and unprotectable, unsecurable border. So it was in their vital interest to be deeply involved inside Iraq. They tolerated our attacks on the Baathists. They were happy we captured Saddam Hussein.

But they’re building up their own network of influence, and to cement it, they occasionally give some military assistance and training and advice, either directly or indirectly, to both the insurgents and to the militias. And in that sense, it’s not exactly parallel, because there has been, I believe, continuous Iranian engagement, some of it legitimate, some of it illegitimate. I mean, you can hardly fault Iran because they’re offering to do eye operations for Iraqis who need medical attention. That’s not an offense that you can go to war over, perhaps. But it is an effort to gain influence.

And the administration has stubbornly refused to talk with Iran about their perception, in part because they don’t want to pay the price with their domestic — our US domestic political base, the rightwing base, but also because they don’t want to legitimate a government that they’ve been trying to overthrow. If you were Iran, you’d probably believe that you were mostly already at war with the United States anyway, since we’ve asserted that their government needs regime change, and we’ve asked congress to appropriate $75 million to do it, and we are supporting terrorist groups, apparently, who are infiltrating and blowing up things inside Iraq — Iran. And if we’re not doing it, let’s put it this way: we’re probably cognizant of it and encouraging it. So it’s not surprising that we’re moving to a point of confrontation and crisis with Iran.

My point on this is not that the Iranians are good guys — they’re not — but that you shouldn’t use force, except as a last, last, last resort. There is a military option, but it’s a bad one.

BOBBEE BEE:10 WAYS TRUMP'S DECISION PLACED U.S. IN DANGER

10 WAYS TRUMP'S DECISION PLACED U.S. IN DANGER
By Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies.

The U.S. assassination of General Qassem Soleimani has not yet plunged us into a full-scale war with Iran thanks to the Iranian government’s measured response, which demonstrated its capabilities without actually harming U.S. troops or escalating the conflict. But the danger of a full-blown war still exists, and Donald Trump’s actions are already wreaking havoc.

The tragic crash of the Ukranian passenger jet that left 176 dead may well be the first example of this, if indeed it was shot down by a jittery Iranian anti-aircraft crew who mistook the airliner for a U.S. warplane.

Trump’s actions make the region, and the American people, less safe in at least ten important ways.
1. The first result of Trump’s blunders may be an increase in U.S. war deaths across the greater Middle East. While this was avoided in Iran’s initial retaliation, Iraqi militias and Hezbollah in Lebanon have already vowed to seek revenge for the deaths of Soleimani and the Iraqi militia. US military bases, warships and nearly 80,000 U.S. troops in the region are sitting ducks for retaliation by Iran, its allies and any other group that is angered by U.S. actions or simply decides to exploit this U.S.-manufactured crisis.

2. U.S. acts of war in Iraq have injected even more volatility and instability into an already war-torn and explosive region. The U.S. close ally, Saudi Arabia, is seeing its efforts to solve its conflicts with Qatar and Kuwait thrown into jeopardy, and it will now be harder to find a diplomatic solution to the catastrophic war in Yemen–where the Saudis and Iranians are on different sides of the conflict.
3. Trump’s attacks on Iran may actually embolden a common enemy, the Islamic State, which can take advantage of the chaos created in Iraq. Thanks to the leadership of Iran’s General Soleimani, Iran played a significant role in the fight against ISIS, which was almost entirely crushed in 2018 after a four-year war.

4. Iran has announced it is withdrawing from all the restrictions on enriching uranium that were part of the 2015 JCPOA nuclear agreement.

5. Trump’s blunders have destroyed what little influence the U.S. had with the Iraqi government. This is clear from the recent Parliamentary vote to expel the U.S. military.

6. Another inevitable consequence of Trump’s failed Iran policy is that it strengthens conservative, hard-line factions in Iran. Like the U.S. and other countries, Iran has its own internal politics, with distinct points of view.

7. Trump’s blunders may be the last straw for U.S. friends and allies who have stuck with the U.S. through 20 years of inflammatory and destructive U.S. foreign policy. European allies have disagreed with Trump’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal and have tried, albeit weakly, to save it. When Trump tried to assemble an international naval task force to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz in 2019, only the U.K., Australia and some Persian Gulf states wanted any part of it, and now 10 European and other countries are joining an alternative operation led by France.

8. U.S. actions in Iraq violate international, domestic and Iraqi law, setting the stage for a world of ever greater lawlessness. The International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) has drafted a statement explaining why the U.S. attacks and assassinations in Iraq do not qualify as acts of self-defense and are in fact crimes of aggression that violate the UN Charter. Trump also tweeted that the U.S. was ready to hit 52 sites in Iran, including cultural targets, which would also violate international law.
9. Trump’s aggressive moves strengthen the weapons makers. One U.S. interest group has a bipartisan blank check to raid the U.S. Treasury at will and profits from every U.S. war and military expansion: the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned Americans against in 1960. Far from heeding his warning, we have allowed this behemoth to steadily increase its power and control over U.S. policy.

10. Any further escalation between the U.S. and Iran could be catastrophic for the world economy, which is already riding a roller-coaster due to Trump’s trade wars.

Trump’s blunders have placed us back on the path to a truly catastrophic war, with barricades of lies blocking every off-ramp. The Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan Wars have cost millions of lives, left the U.S.’s international moral authority in the gutter and exposed it as a warlike and dangerous imperial power in the eyes of much of the world.

BOBBEE BEE: SIGNS OF THE TIME

"My soul waits for the Lord More than the WATCH-MEN-Ps:130:6

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: SIGNS OF THE TIME
by eric d.graham

As we were all watching the clock countdown and the apple drop in TIME SQUARE, the DOOMSDAY CLOCK, which was created in 1947 at the University of Chicago by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was moved two minutes to midnight to show us how far we are from Armageddon or total annihilation. To all of you Comic Book Readers, it is not a coincidence that the "WATCH-MEN" series is airing on HBO at this particular moment in Time, which stars Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Oh yes, while January 1st signaled the beginning of a "New Year" for the "New World," with people singing and dancing the night away, drunk in their drunkenness, proposing to their lovers (Matt 24:38) which was sealed with a homosexual kiss (Luke 17:28-30) from host actor Billy Porter on the lips of his husband after he performed "Love YourSelf"(2 Timothy 3:1-2)...

Yes, Babylon is Falling. Despite all this brouhaha, January 1st, unfortunately, is not the beginning of the New Year. It really begins in March. Now, the Bible predicted that Time would be Changed in the Book of Daniel in Chapter 7:25, which states: (This passage of course can be interpreted estoretically as well as Masonically)

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to CHANGE TIMES and LAWS: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

The change of Time can easily be deciphered, however, easily by COUNTING the months from March, astrologically, begin the first month: 2. April 3. May 4. June 5. July 6. August 7. September, which comes from the Latin root septem-, meaning “seven,” because in the original Roman republican calendar September was the seventh month of the year rather than the ninth. Hence, October has a numerical value of "eight," as in the Octagon having eight sides and December (Dec.) meaning TEN.

The Bible reveals this in another way by discussing the PASSOVER/Spring Equinox in Exodus (12:1).

During the PASSOVER, observed on the 14th day of the month, which is MARCH, commemorates the day Israel (Isis RA-EL) left Egypt (known as the House of Bond-Age) and the blood of the lamb (Aries) was spread on the doorpost as a SIGN from the Most High (God, Dog Star (Sirius) should "passover" their houses when The Most High destroyed all the firstborn of Egypt. (Ex12:13). There is a lot of astrological symbolism in this passage for the learnt man and woman. Because, in the New Testament, which was translated by the Greek, the one named Jesus Christ or the Son/Sun of Man was crucified during one of these "PASSOVER" celebration, known as the Last Supper on the EVE of his death, making him the ultimate "passover" sacrifice REdeeming us from the power over SIN (moon) and death (1 Cor 5:7)

Let's not forget the MOON has a special significance for the ancient Israelites. The word month, in actuality, comes from the word "moon," which is why their festival calendar began each month with the rising of the NEW MOON. The Book of Numbers verifies this in Chapter 10:9-10) When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the Trumpets.
After reading this, now, you know why we blow those little Trumpets for New Year's!!! To add on to this, the month of March is a representation of the RED planet Mars, which means War. That's why most military action by Pentagon and NATO military planners have chosen March as the best TIME to go to war, with the exception of the War on Afghanistan (October 2001) and the 1990-91 Gulf War, all major US-NATO and allied led military operations over a period of more than half a century –since the invasion of Vietnam (aka Dr.Manhattan) by US ground forces have been initiated in the month of March. So, keep you eyes on Trump and his War with Iran, which is brewing as we speak.

Let's not forget, where the Days of the Week got their names from: Roman gods: Diana as the Moon for Monday, Mars for Tuesday, Mercury for Wednesday, Jupiter/THOR for Thursday, Venus for Friday, Saturn for Saturday, and Apollo as the Sun for Sunday.

Hence, the conflict between the Protestants, especially the 7th Day Adventist and the Catholic over the Sabbath Day. For, the 7th Day Adventist along with the Hebrews, believe the Sabbath begins from Friday at SunSET to Saturday EVENing) (Ex:16:23-27) While, the Catholics believe it is on Sunday.(Acts 20:7)

So, estoretically, we have Saturn worshippers fighting against Sun-worshipers. (2 Timothy 2:15)

With that said, with a clock around our necks like Flavor Flav from Public Enemy, we all must know the THEOLOGY OF TIME. Because,..I set WATCHMEN over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.-'Jer(6:17) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: RUMORS OF WAR

“The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.” (Jer: 50:22)

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: RUMORS OF WAR by E.Graham

On August 31, 2013, Donald Trump tweeted “Be prepared there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III. Now, SEVEN years later, during an election year, with a possible impeachment trail looming, the Trump administration, assassinated Iranian general Qasem Soleimani by drone, which is equivalent to killing Vice President Mike Pence, has the world on brink of war, with claims of a $80 million bounty being placed on the head of the President, where Iranians, while shouting, “DEATH TO AMERICA” are believed to be willing to contribute $1 each to the person who will kill him.

With all of this talk of impeachment and assassination plots, we must take a political yet prophetic look at the Bible, which can be viewed astrologically as well as Masonically in the Book of Matthew Chapter 24:verses (1-8), which discusses the disciples asking the Christ, “What shall be the SIGN of thy coming and the END OF THE WORLD?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; (Christians) and shall deceive many. Hence, the recent comments of televangelist Jim Bakker, who resurrected his career after serving years in prison for fraud saying, “that only SAVED people can love Donald Trump.” Along with Paula White, a Pentecostal preacher and longtime adviser to Trump, who has been tapped to head the White House's Faith and Opportunity Initiative, who stated “let every demonic network who has aligned itself ...against the calling of President Trump.. be broken..."

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: (Case in point, recently, following an end-of-year party plenary meeting, North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un announced his country will no longer abide by its self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) testing.

Despite this imminent threat, the Bible GOES ON to said: see that ye be not TROUBLED: for all these things must come to pass, but the END is not yet. For NATION shall RISE against NATION (CHINA & RUSSIA), and kingdom against kingdom (SAUDI Arabia/Yemen): and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. For instances, on January 7th, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake affected: The Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Saint Martin, Sint Maarten, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Caribbean Netherlands, Saint Barthélemy, Antigua and Barbuda, and Anguilla. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Yes, this is the beginning of sorrows. But, with all of these events taking on the nightly (NEWS) N. orth E.ast W.est S.outh around the FACE of the earth, those, who are students of T.H.E.M. always refer to the prophesy of Ezekiel Chapter 38 to understand the SIGNS OF THE TIME. Especially, when the scripture discusses MAGOG OR GOG (Khazars), which, according to certain Biblical interpretations, are DESCENDants of people, who occupied lands from Spain to Asia Minor, the islands of the Mediterranean to South Russia, Togarmath, near the Black Sea of the CAUCASUS Mountains. For Black preachers, Ezekiel’s vision and prophecy, is very important to understand. But, not with a Western World view. Because, this text can also be broken down from an astrological perspective as well.

Let’s not forget the words of General Wesley Clark, who stated that America was “going to Take out 7 Countries in 5 Years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..” (Ek:38:5-6). This is a form of predictive programming.

The book of Revelation Chapter 6:verse 8 puts it this way:
And I looked, and BEHOLD A PALE HORSE: and his name that sat on him was DEATH, and Hell followed with him. And POWER was given unto them over the FOURTH part of the earth, to KILL with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

With this mind, continue to be WATCH-MEN as Isaiah 21:6 states: "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he SEES.(bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE: THE POLITICS OF IMPEACHMENT

THE POLITICS OF IMPEACHMENT

The decision by Democrats sitting on the House Judiciary Committee to approve Articles of Impeachment that will be affirmed in a full vote of the House of Representatives just handed Donald Trump a probable victory in the 2020 election barring a sudden economic downturn, the eruption of an unlikely war, or yet another revolt by a discontented electorate. The Democrats know that conviction in the Republican controlled Senate is impossible. Why pursue a dead end agenda?

From all appearances, the strategy seems to involve an attempt to discredit Trump and increase the chances of defeating the orange tinted billionaire in next year’s November election. If that’s the calculation, the Democrats are grossly misguided as Trump is America’s second Teflon President, the invariably cheerful Ronald Reagan being the first. Nothing sticks. Reagan beat Iran Contra-gate. Trump beat Russia-gate and will most certainly emerge unscathed from the Ukraine-gate impeachment proceedings in the eyes of his supporters thus lending credence to the fiction that he is fighting the swamp.

As for the popularity of Reagan and Trump, both opportunistic politicians had a simple persistently optimistic ‘Make America Great Again’ feel good message that played well amongst the disenchanted masses. Reagan won office amidst the economic stagflation and malaise of the Carter years. Trump won the White House after the prolonged recession of the Bush and Obama eras. The extended economic slump that propelled Trump to victory occurred as a direct result of the financialization of America and the subprime meltdown. It should be well understood that Wall Street’s speculative frenzy was financed by the deindustrialization of the United States, a global flight of capital that cast millions of American workers on the scrap heap of various rustbelt cities.

Both Reagan and Trump used rightwing populist rhetoric to win their respective elections only to serve the interests of the corporate plutocracy as exemplified by the enormous tax cuts both gave to the upper class and the corporations they own.

So why don’t the Democrats fight Trump politically and contest his far right policies of upward wealth transfer; deregulation and privatization of the economy; slashing of food stamp benefits; environmental destruction; unending war; unqualified support for apartheid Israel, the Saudi monarchy and the Egyptian dictatorship; and the imposition of deadly economic sanctions on Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela?

Because they agree with the substance of these policy orientations that’s why. The Democrats pose no serious alternative to the Republicans on matters of economic and geopolitical significance, the anti-corporatist noises being made by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren notwithstanding. Stripped of all pretenses, both parties advance an imperialist agenda that protects the process of global capital accumulation in America’s corporate neo-liberal empire.

BOBBEE BEE: FAMILY DIVISION & ROLE PLAYING

"They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother...Luke12:51-53

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: FAMILY DIVISION & ROLE PLAYING
by eric d.graham

According to the Bible, "a house divided can't stand. Of course, this passage can be interpreted in several ways: literally, metaphysically, astrologically and mathematically, for the true scholars of the Craft. But, to keep it simple, during this Christmas SEA-SON , let's find out what ROLE you will be playing in this "never-ending drama, AS THE WORLD TURNS. The 4 psychological archetypes are:

1.)Self-Appointed Family Hero
This person is deemed an overachiever. Their success is celebrated by the entire family. From the outside looking in, it seems, as if, this person has the perfect family, perfect job and perfect marriage. But, under all the flash and cash, in many cases, this person fears that their accomplishments may be minimized and ignored, if his/her secrets or issues are exposed. So, they hide their vulnerability through becoming a work alcoholic. But, the family, in order to protect their name, will sometimes shield and protect this person to a default, avoiding the obvious, while creating scapegoats within the family hierarchy.

2.)The Scapegoat
This person is an easy target for family feuds. Why? Because, most of their issues are visible to the naked eye. They are not concealed like the Self-Appointed Hero’s. See, the scapegoat is deemed a troublemaker-In street terms- the family “f*$# up,” whom always, it seems, to be filled with drama. Usually, this person will have financial problems, relationship problems, which, sometimes come along with a baby or two, as well as problems with substance abuse, which could be clouded by marijuana smoke, the scent of alcohol, traces of heroin or cocaine.) Whether, using, or selling. As a result, all the family finger-pointing ends up being pointed in his or her direction. But, from the inside looking out, this person feels that they are getting blamed for the real issues, which the family fears to face or address, which has held them in bondage.

3.)The Lost Child

The Lost Child is a “Dream-chaser.” She or he dreams of having a perfect family, perfect job and perfect existence. So, to avoid the brouhaha brewing within the family dynamics, they tend to shy away from issues. So, they isolate themselves, fade way in the background, becoming the fly on the wall, camouflaging themselves, hearing everything; but, saying nothing, in order to avoid the family volcanoes erupting at every event. Unfortunately, their isolation can cause anger, resentment, depression and sadness. And in some instances, he or she feels, as if, their feelings, issues, (whether sexually, spiritually, emotionally, or academically) are being ignored. As a result, this person may try to avoid all family functions, in order to “runaway from the drama. But, if ever provoked, will, sometimes, reveal all the hidden secrets, to release themselves from the chains of generational grievances.

4.)The Family Mascot or Clown
This person is always the life of the party. Most family members hate if he does come. But, hate, if he doesn’t come and the same time. He or she is always telling jokes, always making fun of someone else's issues. But, never address his own. And, while, laughter is always “good medicine” for the soul, some family members may find him or her constant joking to be obnoxious, offensive, mean-spirited, demeaning, and hurtful. His humor, however, while not done to provoke displeasure, usually, is used as a coping mechanism to help him deal with his own issues shortcomings, pain, addiction and frustration with life, which he may refuse to address. Whether it is a recent divorce, the death of a love one, or other hidden trauma not known by family members. Hence, the song: “The Tears of a Clown..” (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com) (Source:T.Hall)
