"On March 26, 2017, two months after Trump was sworn in for his first term as president of the US, Ambani sent an iMessage to Epstein, saying "Leadership" was asking for his help to connect with senior figures in Trump's circle, including Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon.
Ambani also asked for advice from Epstein about a possible visit by Modi to meet Trump "in May", before setting up a call in the messages.
In another iMessage exchange two weeks later, on March 29, Epstein wrote to Ambani: "Discussions re israel strategy dominating modi dates". Two days later, Ambani informed Epstein that Modi would visit Israel in July and asked the disgraced financier 'who do u know fir track 2'.
On June 26, Modi met Trump in Washington on his first visit since Trump became president.
Then on July 6, 2017, Modi became the first-ever Indian prime minister to visit Israel. He snubbed the Palestinian Authority, prompting condemnation from Palestinian officials.
That year, New Delhi became the largest buyer of Israeli weapons, amounting to $715m worth of purchases"

"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies one with another.
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things more than the Creator--who is forever praised Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust one for another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received the due penalty for their error."
