As always, a very clear analysis of a complex set of interactions. I was reminded of “If you see something, say something.”

Thanks Keith! Your coverage is always commendable. We appreciate the time and effort you put into gathering the intel and reporting it. You're also spot on about the need to stand with the Jewish Synagogues and Jewish believers.

I heard a nationally recognized speaker say once, speaking of the difference between the Jewish faith and Christian faith - "Perhaps it comes down to this, when the Messiah returns, the Jews will ask, 'So, is this your first time here, or your second?' They are looking for the Messiah just as we are."

While there's important theological matters, there's also the common heritage that you, Keith, kindly pointed out from scripture. Thanks again!

Amen, Keith, I so appreciate your stance on Judaism! The Bible is very specific about the Covenant, and Paul did a beautiful job explaining it to us Christians. We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem, pray for the Jews in our area (whether they are orthodox, Chabad, reformed, ....), and pray for our God's protection and power.

I have never forgotten reading the book, "The Hiding Place" - when Corrie's father, referencing Deuteronomy 32:10 and Psalm 17:8, said to Corrie: “I pity the poor Germans, Corrie. They have touched the apple of God’s eye.”

QUESTION KEITH - I know you've published 'Contact/Cover' approach training, and in my opinion it's extremely vital and valuable. However, in this write up, you seem to take an opposing view: Do *not* confront, but report to LEO as (if) a pattern emerges (implication over weeks). Can you clarify what circumstances merit the Contact/Cover versus no confrontation but logging all the details of the suspicious behavior?

Thanks!

It’s going to come down to discernment brother. I pray for discernment constantly. For me personally, I like confronting the problem. I’ll talk to anybody and everybody. but across the board by by a big margin, people in church security have a hard time with that and having a positive outcome that helps the problem.

Thanks - I figured that was the case. I do my best to focus and continually remind my team that we serve as *ministers* and should represent Christ and the Church in the best light as possible. The church is built to be a beacon of Hope for the lost and hurting rather than a "mafia" bunker. I know you're right there too, brother.

God bless you brother!

Thanks Keith. I wonder how I could get more information about how to go about doing the work of a Digital Intelligence officer. I am familiar with computers and have the time now. But I don't know where to begin. Thanks!

I have coursework laid out and ready to go. My only obstacle is time to get the filming done and editing done. It is in the queue for filming and I hope to have it out before the end of the year of course would explain everything that you would need to know.
