![]() ![]() We are talking about decades passing by between main game releases. From Diablo 3 to Diablo 4, 11 years is going to pass by as long as the release stays on schedule. From Diablo 2 to Diablo 3, 12 years passed by. If you don’t count remakes/side projects or DLC, the Diablo video games have all had a lot of time pass by between each released. Diablo 4 is scheduled to be released during 2023. That is the entire Diablo franchise in a nutshell.Īll of that has lead us to Diablo 4. This was followed by a free-to-play Diablo Immortal in 2022. Fast forward a little bit more to 2021 and Diablo 2 and the Lord of Destruction expansion was remade. A whole decade passed by before Diablo fans got any new content regarding the Diablo franchise.ĭiablo 3 did spawn a total of two story expansions with those being Reaper of Souls in 2014 and Rise of the Necromancer in 2017. ![]() Diablo 2 did get the Lord of Destruction expansion pack in 2001, but it wasn’t until 11 years later that Diablo 3 would release in 2012. Three years later, Diablo 2 was then released in the year 2000. The original Diablo was released in 1997. If you take a look at the history of the Diablo franchise, you’ll notice a pattern from Blizzard. This sparks the idea that maybe Diablo 4 is going to be the last main Diablo game for quite some time. The point of Rod Fergusson’s entire Tweet was to clear up some common questions that gamers were having right away and to also make it known that there will be no shortage of content over the years for Diablo 4. We are committed to delivering an incredible breadth of content after launch, for years to come, anchored around optional cosmetic items & full story driven expansions. To be clear, D4 is a full price game built for PC/PS/Xbox audiences. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Romans 5:10 speaks of the two aspects of God's deliverance from sin: "If we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled." Here the reconciliation to God through the death of His Son points to Christ's redemption, which delivers us from the guilt and condemnation of sin, and the salvation in Christ's life delivers us from the power of sin. For deliverance from the power of sin, we have God's salvation in the divine life, and for deliverance from the guilt and the condemnation of sin, we have Christ's redemption through the shedding of His blood. Guilt is the result of the condemnation of sin, and the power of sin is the entanglement and tyranny of sin. The blood is for redemption, and the water is for the imparting of the divine life. We have a hymn in our hymnal (Hymns, #1058) that speaks of the double cure of God's full salvation through the blood and the water that flowed from Christ's pierced side (John 19:34), which save us from both the guilt and power of sin. 5, The Faithful and Diligent Spreading of the Truth-Concerning the Publication Service, ch. I hope that we would understand the fine distinctions here. It is good to write new hymns, but we must adhere to the principle of mainly presenting the truth. Brother Nee was very much against embellishing the hymns, because this does not build up our spirit. Proper tunes for hymns should be neither light nor embellished on the contrary, they should be solemn and weighty. This is evident with the tunes for "Rock of Ages, cleft for me, / Let me hide myself in Thee" (Hymns, #1058) and even for "Many weary years I vainly sought a spring" (#322), which has a little faster tempo. Our hymnal includes almost all the good tunes for hymns. After twenty or thirty years, however, no one is singing the new tunes people prefer the traditional tunes. Regardless of where and how Toplady got his inspiration, the hymn has been a blessing in past generations and will continue to be a blessing to Christians in generations to come.Īfter World War II there was a desire in the United States for new things consequently, many new tunes were written for hymns. Nevertheless God used even what is negative for His good will and purpose. This is ironic, because he had a combative relationship with John Wesley. Benson argues that Toplady was most likely inspired to write the hymn after reading the preface of John and Charles Wesley‘s Hymns on the Lord’s Supper (1745) which contains a prayer voicing many of the themes and words that are also found in the hymn. However the story is probably apocryphal-(doubtful of authenticity but widely circulated as true). The particular rock is in Burrington Combe gorge in North Somerset, England, and it has a plaque on it with its claim to fame. There is a common story of the hymn being inspired by (and even written from within) a rock cleft that Toplady once took refuge in during a storm. The full version of the hymn was printed the following year in Toplady’s book Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Worship. ”Īs for the hymn, the first stanza appeared in public in 1775 in a periodical called the Gospel Magazine (a periodical which still is in print today). ![]() When Louis Benson wrote about the hymn in 1923, he claimed it “is to-day in more church hymnals than is in any other English hymn. Augustus Toplady wrote a number of hymns in his life, but “Rock of Ages” is by far the most famous. ![]() ![]() ![]() The lists below are auto generated and updated from time to time.

GitKraken recently hired a new CEO to help drive their product initiatives into market. They are all a pleasure to work with! The teams here are all really good at what they do and love helping each other become better each day. The heads of Marketing, Product, Engineering and Finance are excellent communicators, extremely professional, friendly and very well versed in their craft. GitKraken has some very seasoned team members running the business. What I have noticed is that the work is stimulating, the balance is appropriate, and the team fosters a great, safe working environment. There are employees who have been here almost 10 years! That is unheard of in software. The culture is very inviting, and has a wonderful work-life balance. You get the best in hardware and technical tools to help deliver quality output.

Many Iranian men are already supporting us and are fighting shoulder to shoulder with us for women's rights, but we definitely need more of you." Women can't do this alone. If you remain silent when women are forced to wear the hijab or when they insult our freedom, then you allow yourselves to be insulted too. They think that men must be really weak to get excited after seeing just a few strands of loose hair. Dear men: when the government decrees that the hijab should be mandatory, that automatically means that they see you as unclean, easily provoked and weak. This photo writes, "When the hijab is compulsory, it is not just an insult to women, it is also an insult to men too. Some of these women find the veil on themselves to be unnatural as well as it does not represent their true selves." As an expression of faith, the point of the hijab is that it should be a choice for women to decide.Ī compulsory hijab is an insult to both genders. However, for the past 38 years, women have been forced to wear compulsory hijab, without having a say. Do you find it funny? Does it make any sense?

We know that the person is going through hard times because they talk about how he wants to hide "scars" to fade away the "shake up" (fight). The beginning of this song talks about a person who is trying to cover up their problems so that everyone else thinks that they are totally fine. I tried to take the song very directly and make conclusions on what I heard. ![]() Tankian and Malakian also produced the track, teaming up with legendary producer Rick Rubin in the process.I have read a lot of interpretations on this song, and many off them are deep and logical, but I have yet to find a single explanation that covers every aspect of the lyrics. And their names are as follows:įYI, their unique names are due to the crew being of Armenian ancestry. “Chop Suey!” was written by the members of System of a Down. And the song was also parodied by none other than Weird Al Yankovic himself. Cover VersionsĪmong the many artists who have covered “Chop Suey!” is Avril Lavigne. You may have noticed that “Chop Suey!” was released shortly before the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States which rattled the known world. And logically, given the stated rationale of the terrorists who perpetrated this act, the song’s reference to “self-righteous suicide” bothered some American listeners in the wake of this event. Indeed Clear Channel Communications (currently known as iHeartMedia), which owns more radio stations in America than any other entity, actually deemed this track, along with over 150 other songs, as “lyrical questionable”, once again in the aftermath of 9/11. And accordingly they advised their program directors not to play it. Is “Chop Suey!” really “Lyrical Questionable”? Accomplishments of “Chop Suey!”Īmongst the accomplishments and accolades this tune has achieved is charting in the countries below:Īnd whereas it only managed to peaked at number 76 on System of a Down’s native America, it is still considered by many to be the band’s signature song.Ĭritical acclamation of “Chop Suey!” also resulted in it being System of a Down’s first nomination at the Grammys. The band brought it out as the lead single from their famed second album, “Toxicity”. “Chop Suey!” was released on 13 August 2001. ![]() It is considered to be Chinese in origin. But what really is the meaning of the phrase “chop suey”?Ĭhop suey itself is actually a popular traditional dish, dating back to at least the 19 th century. Marcos Siega, the director of the video, also directed the visual for the title track from the “Toxicity” album. And the “Chop Suey!” video is obviously a masterpiece in and of itself, having garnered well over four-million likes on YouTube as of 2019. Indeed concerning the explanation of the unusual title of the track, this song originally went by the unconventional title of “Self-Righteous Suicide”. But the band’s management reportedly did not approve the aforementioned title. So it was renamed to “Chop Suey!” And this is actually a parody of the original title, as it is derived from the mock statement “Self-Right-chop Suey-cide”.Īnd the term “self-righteous suicide”, whether it be pertaining to a drug addict or a martyr, would logically be based on the notion of someone willingly – so to speak – giving their life for what they believe in. But that being said, going back to the first sentence of this article, it has been speculated even by fans of System of a Down that this song actually has multiple meanings. Or that’s another way of saying that it can be interpreted from various angles, ranging from domestic violence to substance abuse to a critique of popular religious beliefs, if you will. We think perhaps it is meant to point to the idea of how Jesus, based on the way he died, is perceived differently from say a drug addict. Also in a way, since based on the Biblical tale, Jesus willingly went to his own death, perhaps such is what System of a Down is referring to when they mention “self-righteous suicide” in the chorus. The bridge of the track also references a couple of lines from the Bible, specifically those uttered by Jesus while he was being crucified. It is not abundantly clear how exactly this ties into the overall theme as detailed above. ![]() |
