3 measurements spanning 7 days, net +4. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 215–221 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 5 of 14 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 6 of the 17 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 8reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 17 most recent posts we hold, published 11 July 2026 to 6 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
The Sheepfold of Bozrah; part 2:
In the previous episode, we learned that scripture contains prophecy about a role played by the Edomite city of Bozrah in the end times, as a place where God’s people Israel will be gathered. But is this to be taken literally? How exactly should we interpret it?
Some people have interpreted the prophecy literally and within a dispensationalist framework, thinking that Jews will lite…
The sheepfold of Bozrah; part 1. Image: The town of Busaira, Jordan; ruins of the ancient city of Bozrah in the foreground. 🇯🇴
Bozrah was one of the capitals of the ancient Kingdom of Edom, the nation that sprung from Jacob’s brother Esau. The city is mentioned and alluded to in several end-times prophecies, as (1) a place in which God would gather His elect during a time of tribulation, and (2) the first target of …
Yikes… No. The figure of Babylon described in Revelation 17 is “adorned with gold and jewels and pearls” (verse 4). The garments used by the Israelite priesthood did not have pearls. The ephod had twelve jewels with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel; but no pearls (see Exodus 28). In the same verse in Revelation, Babylon is described as “arrayed in purple and scarlet”. The Greek word for purple is πορφύρα (porphyr…
History of the Scottish Covenanters; part 5. 🏴
Image: Scots gathered in a Conventicle in defiance of the 1664 Conventicle Act; art by J.R. Skelton.
In the aftermath of the English Civil Wars, things seemed to return to normal when Oliver Cromwell died and Parliament suddenly decided to invite Charles II Stuart back to England and its throne. Scots of all walks supported the 1660 Stuart Restoration, including …
Cologne Cathedral, Germany. 🇩🇪
Not many people know this, but one of Germany’s largest and most iconic Catholic churches was built (in its current state)… by Protestants. The original Gothic cathedral had never been completed, being started in the 13th century and left unfinished for hundreds of years. In 1842, renovation and construction resumed after about 300 years of inactivity. This was done at the direction an…
…when talking about the subject of mass-migration, we can forget that there are many Christians in our western countries, and that they are being personally affected by the phenomenon. Even in nations like France, Germany, and Sweden that have undergone widespread apostasy, there remains a faithful remnant. It’s not just apostate atheists who are being victimized by hordes of Muslims and other vile pagans… it’s Chris…
Addendum (History of the Scottish Covenanters) 2: Did Cromwell bring the Jews back to England?
The answer is… well… YES. The decision to allow the Jews back in England came at the 1655 Whitehall Conference. Cromwell convened this gathering of lawyers, merchants, and clergymen so that he and his adherents could argue for readmission of the Jews. They ended up concluding that the 1290 Edict of Expulsion issued by king…
My boy Myles looked absolutely EXASPERATED during this livestream, lol. 😆 I can completely relate: The strawman arguments, misrepresentations, calumnies, and reductio ad absurdo fallacies of people like Jay Dyer are so TIRESOME. Man, I hate the internet.
Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @Theology_Today. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 67,791 of 1,340,412entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
