18 Jesus and Operations Security

Welcome to the Investigators Guide to the Bible. We’re back in prophecy world where we’ll ask the age-old question, “Lord, why won’t you just tell us what You want us to know?” What’s the worst that could happen? We promise we won’t be sitting in Nazareth, waiting with our golden calves, for the Messiah to show up. You can trust us, Lord! Wow, we’re only on the intro and it’s already getting spicy in here! What happens next? Find out in “Jesus and OPSEC!”Resources and References so I can pretend I’m really smart:* Yes, of course, I know the Churchill quote I used in the pod was talking about Russia in his quote and that it has no bearing on this topic! I borrowed the notation, not the connotation.Another * Most Bible quotes I used come from the New American Bible, Revised Edition. Washington, DC: Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, 2010 This is just my working Bible for most of these episodes. Any Bible you use will be fine for all of the Biblical references.1.
