It was a surreal, unearthly place that because of its pristine beauty and vast stretches of whiteness with the glaciated mountains and icebergs transports one to a different realm physically, emotionally, psychologically and even spiritually. Antarctica is almost a holy, even a godly place because it is largely untouched and untainted by sinful man. The message of this video was birthed in the Antarctic as a result of some transcendent thoughts that came to me while there concerning the higher walk to which Yeshua is calling us. May this message edify, bless and encourage the listener onward and upward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/skTkF-Dc7q4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Antarctica &amp; the Upward Call to Exceptionalism',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2024\/02\/11\/antarctica-the-upward-call-to-exceptionalism\/',contentID: 'post-21548',suggestTags: '',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My recent voyage to Antarctica was like a trip to another planet.
