After all, 10 out of 12 spies agreed: "No Can Do!"
Where's the vision, the progress from standing upon the shoulders of giants? Joshua and Caleb somehow managed to find a good view.
Back when I was a young student trapped in the institutionalized model of 'education' -- a veritable well without water -- at least real teachers knew the difference between genuine research papers and the stuff cobbled together and copied over and over from the standard references.
Then they graded.. accordingly.
"It is the only Country that has a Biblical Foundation"<<<
You have a way to prove this? Where could I go to look it up?
From an unexpected direction, so possibly ignored if not denigrated, but it's the road less traveled:
The Torah begins with an enlarged letter bet. "In the beginning" is the first word, as translations typically go:
בראשית
An enlarged letter format is also used to represent thousands. For example, the letter bet as a numeral (normal value of 2) = 2000 when followed by a geresh, which looks like an apostrophe (standard keyboard uses the apostrophe). 2000:
'ב
A common use is for representing the thousands in a year date.
It's unfortunate but not surprising that there are those in the camps of established wisdom who become triggered, denouncing such details as "Numerology!". Yet, it's a simple fact that numerical values are intrinsic to every letter/word/phrase in the Bible. Hebrew, Aramaic, and also Greek for those who include the NT.
United States of America [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000.
Which as explained above, is written numerically as the enlarged letter bet, the first letter of the Torah.
In any case, the year of America's Founding is world-famous: Est. 1776.
Same as the declarations concerning the first light of Creation:
Genesis 1
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
1776 =
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good:
ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור׃ וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב
1776 =
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך׃
The most recognized word in Yiddish (the language of the Jews), "Oy!" [!אוי] = 17, a famous value in Judaism for being tov [טוב], "good". "Good" and "Joseph" go together like peanut butter and jelly. The key to the family []ission.
The whole-number numeric relationship of 1776 to Israel [= 541] is found here, in Gotham:
One World Trade Center, also known as One World Trade, One WTC, and formerly called the Freedom Tower during initial planning stages...
... The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.

It's like the 13 Colonies (which expanded to 50, the distinguished number of transcendence): "Out of Many, One"
"One" [אחד] = 13
The natives of the 50th state [of Aloha] see a scorpion when they look up.

Alpha Lyra is known as the Weaver Girl,
and the difference between 1776 and 2000 is 224 -- the way, the "derek" [דרך].
And by the way:
Genesis 45
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

Rodney Crowell - I Couldn't Leave You If I TriedI suspect that Mordecai's sage advice to Esther, in order for her to remain hidden so that no one in the palace would ever suspect that she was a Jewess, was this:
"Whatever you do, don't ask any questions. And certainly never answer a question with a question. You know that's a dead giveaway!"
Well, that's just my opinion, but in the account of the Megillah, Esther doesn't ask any questions until she reveals herself.
Esther 8
4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Then they graded.. accordingly.
17.. 76, the Spirit of.
Join the Navi, see the world. A global force for good.
And just one more thing, Joseph and Joshua lived to the age of 110.
When people strive for 100% perfection, they always come up short. They never can get there because nobody's perfect.
Yet for those who operate by way of the "Can Do" model of giving 110%, 100 is just a number in the rear view mirror.
