@@YesCoolRo greetings and salutations oh no im going to spontaneously combust into the bible aaahhhhhh Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God. Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[c] and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d] 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me. Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[e] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved-and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Alexios Komnenos and his brother David were raised in Georgia under the roof o King Tamar and they were some kind of a relative to Tamar, at least that is the story I remember, perhaps I am wrong.
Why on earth was Trebizond a vassal of Georgia? For sure it was the opposite, that is, Georgia for some time recognized the suzerainty of the emperors of Trebizond who considered themselves the heirs of Rome
" The empire traces its foundation to April 1204, when Alexios Komnenos and his brother David took advantage of the preoccupation of the central Byzantine government with the encampment of the soldiers of the Fourth Crusade outside their walls (June 1203 - mid-April 1204) and seized the city of Trebizond and the surrounding province of Chaldia with troops provided by their relative, Tamar of Georgia.[7] Henceforth, the links between Trebizond and Georgia remained close, but their nature and extent have been disputed.[20] However some scholars believe that the new state was subject to Georgia, at least in the first years of its existence, at the beginning of the 13th century.[3][4] " So apparently this is up for debate among historians so I just picked one of the versions.
This is Tamar's Georgia, an absolute medieval powerhouse. Every single country in (and close to) Caucasus was a part of, or a vassal state of Kingdom of Georgia at that time. This is the Golden Age of Georgia, from 1121 (Battle of Didgori) to 1213 (Death of King Tamar, the female King and Saint of Georgia). In the Golden Age, the Kingdom of Georgia was the sole protector of Orthodox Christianity in a Muslim dominated part of the world, especially after Saladin's victories in Jerusalem. Trebizond is the one for which the most evidence exists, but other Byzanthine states were also likely vasalized by Georgia . The theory is supported by Tamar's invasion of Chaldia 1204 against Alexios Angelus. Even Saladin's Ayyubid states were paying tributes to Tamar as well as the sultanates of Rum. And after Saladin's victory, Georgian delegation was still allowed entry and the right to pray in Jerusalem. In the Golden age, Georgians managed to defeat Seljuks, Ayyubids, Eldiguzids, Shirvan and every other Muslim power in the region, which is something no other Christian Kingdom has achieved. Then of course the Mongols came and it was all over. I suggest doing reading about Tamar as she is one of the most fascinating figures in medieval history, and one of the greatest female rulers ever to live.
The west was never owr friends. We are always alone. Or they so suppose help till they run away or have a good deal with the enemy that suite them. They have no dignity

Could you continue to produce history of the remaining Ottoman Empire(1453-1922)

@@brettervonkanada6102I'm from Georgia🇬🇪💝💝💝 It's rare to see foreigners know and appreciate our legendary historic figure. Thanks💝
When the fuck was Georgia vassal of Trebizond?
Sad how they expected help from western countries against the ottomans when Constantinople fell but no one came..
The west was never owr friends. We are always alone. Or they so suppose help till they run away or have a good deal with the enemy that suite them. They have no dignity
The 4th Crusade by the west is what weakened the Eastern Romans heavily to the point where losing to the Ottoman Sultanate was inevitable.
