I agree with this instagrammer that Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are very closely related. As a Swedish speaker I understand Norwegian almost perfectly, and I understand Danish better written than spoken, because the pronunciation is quite unclear compared to Norwegian. It's more unusual that Scandinavians communicate in English than using our mother tongues. Especially Norwegians are good at understanding Swedish and Danish. They watch Swedish television, and they are used to different dialects. Most people (not even Swedes or Finns) don't know that in the area where I live in Finland there are people who speak very old Swedish (!) dialects, even older than most Swedish dialects in Sweden. These dialects have lots of similarities with some Norwegian dialects, and even some similarities with Icelandic, which is one of the oldest Nordic languages.

โFor our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm,
Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
in addition addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.โ

โDo you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.
and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.โ

Day 5 of not being allowed to leave our home. I think about 70% of Beijing is probably on lockdown. But I hear grocery stores are being emptied wherever people are actually allowed out of their homes.
Beijing has 1800 new cases today and thatโs huge for here. The days ahead will be interesting.
They come to our home each day to do covid test while on this lockdown. It feels surreal.
