It's sometimes difficult to translate and envision some passages of the Bible because we've never seen what they describe. 

One example is the first Temple's water basin in 2 Chronicles 4:5. It says: "its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom." For centuries, artists have depicted that item in myriad ways based on their own imaginings and the shape of Israel's native Madonna Lily, but an actual basin found in Solomon's own city of Megiddo may give us a good idea of what the Temple's much larger water basin looked like.

If you haven't seen "No Time to Die" (2021), wish Daniel Craig a "Happy Birthday" and move on.

This film is Craig's fifth and final appearance as James Bond, and is also Craig's 15th year in tenure as James Bond since his first in "Casino Royale" (2006). By tenure, this makes Craig the longest running actor playing James Bond in the official series. Sean Connery's tenure is the longest if one counts the period between "Dr. No" (1962) and the unofficial "Never Say Never Again" (1983), albeit with breaks, totaling a 21 year time-span.

Craig became the third ranked actor to have played the character the most times in the official movies, after first ranked Roger Moore, who made seven official Bond films, and second ranked Connery, who appeared in six official Bond movies. Down the tally order would be Pierce Brosnan with four, Timothy Dalton with two, and George Lazenby with one.

At 53 years old at the time of release, Craig became the second oldest actor to play James Bond in the official film series. Moore was 57 when his final Bond movie in the official series "A View to a Kill" (1985) was made and first released. In comparison, when Connery made "Never Say Never Again," he was 52 years when it was filmed and 53 when it was first released. David Niven was aged 57 years when he played James Bond in the unofficial Bond spoof movie "Casino Royale" (1967).

Last chance to bail if you want to avoid spoliers... no? OK...

"No Time to Die" is the first Eon-produced film in which Bond actually dies. Craig first proposed killing Bond in 2006, after the premiere of "Casino Royale," saying, "It's the only way I could see for myself to end it all and to make it like that was my tenure, someone else could come and take over ... When he [Craig's Bond] goes, he can't come back." Producer Michael G. Wilson said it was "the fitting way to deal with a situation where a person is risking their life all the time. Eventually, the odds catch up with you." The production team considered several ways for Bond to die, including being shot by an anonymous shooter. However, director Cari Joji Fukunaga said that a "conventional weapons death" felt inappropriate considering that Bond had been able to "escape from everything else." Craig said the team tried to create a sense of tragedy and weight by using the lead villain's bioweapon, which killed "the only thing that Bond wants in life ... to be with the people he loves."
