Genesis 35:18

"The Bible describes the death of Rachel by saying that “her soul was departing” her body (Gen. 35:18).
This is a mere translation problem. The King James Bible is gives a confusing translation for this text, reading:
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Whereas the New International Version reads:
As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

Now it it true that the underlying Hebrew reads “nap̄·šāh” (herself,
her soul) and “bə·ṣêṯ” (went out, went forth, was departing, had gone, was gone, came out, etc.), but it is obvious that the author of Genesis, Moses, is writing euphemistically. We often do the same thing: “he passed away,” “he passed,”.

The New Living Translation reads:
Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means “son of my sorrow”). The baby’s father, however, called him Benjamin (which means “son of my right hand”).

Everyone in our English-speaking American culture understands that all of these expressions are euphemisms for “he died.” We do not like to use the harsher phrase “he died,” especially around the loved ones of the “dearly departed,” so we use euphemisms (from the Greek eúphēmos, meaning “sounding good”).

*What Moses is telling us is that Rachel was dying, and with her last breath she named her son Ben-Oni (“son of my sorrow”)."

Creation Moment 9/5/2025 - Embarrassing Fossil Find for Darwinians

A fool hath no delight in understanding.... Proverbs 18:2

"Evolutionists adroitly move dates around to accommodate upsets about times when certain clades “emerged” on the scene. 
A highly publicized case made the rounds in March, when Nature announced a bombshell find: “Fossil claw marks show reptiles arose much earlier than thought” — almost 40 million years earlier, in this case. 
The paper in Nature, by senior author Per Ahlberg and colleagues, recognizes that this represents a major upset
*Finding a full-fledged reptile so early means there must have been a whole lotta evolvin’ going on before that:
"The cladogenetic event that gave rise to the tetrapod crown group was preceded by a series of others that gave off the various clades of limbed stem tetrapods, such as baphetids, colosteids and
ichthyostegids, and before that the elpistostegalians and various tetrapodomorph fishes. All of these cladogenetic events must now be fitted into, approximately, the first two-thirds of the Devonian period. The origins of stem amniote lineages such as seymouriamorphs and diadectomorphs must lie in the Late Devonian. Remarkably, the inferred age of the tetrapod crown-group node presented here is approximately contemporary with the elpistostegalians Elpistostege and Tiktaalik, often perceived as antecedents and potential ancestors of tetrapods. This result strongly supports the much earlier origin of limbed tetrapods indicated by the Middle Devonian trackway record, and implies that tetrapods underwent a far faster process of cladogenesis and morphological evolution during the Devonian than has hitherto been recognized
."

Read that and gasp
* The new fossil should cause public embarrassment. But since Darwin mustn’t lose no matter what evidence appears, all the popular reporters framed this finding as a great success. “Newly discovered claw-mark fossils suggest reptiles evolved earlier than we thought,” announces Jess Thomson at Live Science, sweeping everyone into the error by using the first person plural pronoun. (Who’s “we,” Jess?) 
Whatever happened, whenever it happened, tetrapods “evolved.” They appeared. They emerged. They just did it quickly."

Christ -- in the Flesh

"Remember that Jesus died for our sake, not for His own. 
*He did not need to come to this earth and be tempted, to prove His own loyalty to the Father. 
*He came to declare the Father’s name unto His brethren. 
*He came to show that by the faithfulness of God all flesh can be saved. “In Him is no sin;” but He was made to be sin for us, in that He bore our sins. 2 Cor. 5:21
The flesh that He took was our flesh; 
the sins that He overcame were our sins; 
and He did really overcome them. 
*And He still bears our flesh,—an High Priest “touched with the feeling of our infirmities.”

Creation Moment 9/4/2025 - Geometric Design of the Solar System

All things were made by Him; 
and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 
John 1:3

"Example of geometric design in the solar system arises from the mean orbits of our innermost two planets, Mercury and Venus
Their mean orbital radii are 0.387 AU and 0.723 AU, respectively, where 1.0 AU (astronomical unit) is the average distance of the Earth from the sun. We might ask why Mercury and Venus have these particular orbital radii (actually, these are the semimajor axes of their slightly elliptical orbital paths). Although their distances from the sun may seem arbitrary, we find that they fit a special geometric pattern.

We can see the pattern by drawing any three identical circles adjacent to each other so that each circle just touches the other two. 
Next, draw another circle that passes through the centers of the three touching circles. Call this the mean orbit of Mercury around the Sun, lying in the center of the drawing. Finally, draw a larger circle that just encloses the first three circles. Call this the average orbit of Venus around the Sun.
Using a bit of trigonometry, one can calculate that the ratio of the radius of the larger circle to the radius of the smaller circle is 1.866. Now, here’s the fun part — using NASA data for the average orbital radius of Venus and Mercury, we find that their orbital radii form a ratio of 1.868, matching our simple circle construction to 99.9 percent accuracy!

Another example of geometric design hidden in our planetary orbits relates to the average orbital radii of Earth and Mars. These can be matched to the geometry of two nested pentagons. Inscribe a circle within the inner pentagon so that the circle is tangent to each of the five faces of the figure. 
Call this the mean radius of Earth’s orbit. 
Then circumscribe a larger circle so that it touches the five corners of the larger pentagon. 
Call this the mean radius of Mars’s orbit. 
Using trigonometry, we find the ratio of these radii to be 1.52786, which matches the actual ratio of these two planets’ mA fascinating geometric number is the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.618), which is also the limiting ratio of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci series of numbers (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21…). Returning to the example of Venus lappingEarth in its orbit, we find that Venus orbits to a position between the Earth and the Sun (an “inferior conjunction”) every 584 days, or 219 days more than one Earth year. The ratio of 219/365=0.6, so every time this alignment occurs, Earth and Venus are three fifths of a circle further around the Sun. Five such alignments bring us back to the starting point after 5×584 days = 2920 days, or 8.0 Earth-years (which turns out to be 13.0 Venus-years). The relevant numbers in this analysis are 5, 8, and 13, found in sequence in the Fibonacci series. Moreover, the ratio of the orbital periods of Earth to Venus matches the value of the Golden Ratio (99.5 percent).

Additional geometric designs are apparent in the orbits of the planets, moons, and asteroids of the solar system. One or two such patterns might be adequately ascribed to coincidence, even when not predicted by gravitational interactions between the orbiting bodies. But when multiple “coincidences” appear, a thoughtful observer has reason to suspect that a conductor has orchestrated the celestial harmonies, perhaps out of sheer delight in creating a masterpiece.

Geometric design in the solar system as evidence of intelligent design was the conclusion reached by the scientist whose work most fundamentally explained the force constraining the motions of objects in the solar system, Sir Isaac Newton:
"This most beautiful System of the Sun, Planets and Comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being."

3 great mistakes made by different parties in connection with the trial of Jesus

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 
1 Peter 1:24

"Notice three great mistakes made by different parties in connection with the trial of Jesus, each having its special lesson.

1. Peter’s sell-confidence made a coward of him when he came to the test. Knowing the Lord and loving Him, he yet denied the truth, because the flesh failed him.

2. The prejudices of the priests and rulers made them blind to all
truth and honor, and while their attitude was in itself a confession that they were wrong, they so deceived themselves that they knew not what they did.


3. Pilate's love of office and position led him to yield to the clamor of prejudice, although he knew what he ought to have done. He knew Jesus was a just man, and half feared that He might be more than man, but—he would endanger his position if he did right.

Here are lessons (1) for followers of the Lord who trust in their own ability and knowledge of the form of the truth, (2) for those whose prejudices refuse to let them investigate the truth with open hearts, (3) and for any whose positions may appear to stand in the way of right doing."

Creation Moment 9/3/2025 - God's Global Phosphorus Delivery System

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? 
declare, if thou hast understanding. 
Job 38:4
--Even in a sinful fallen world, God designed a mechanism out of the chaos of the flood's aftermath to spread needed phosphorus.
--Even a an evolutionary model would have to come up with a mechanism from before Pangea came apart forming our current volcanic systems.
--As for by what mechanism God did it pre-flood, pre-volcanos who knows.

"Based on the profusion of life in every habitat we know here on earth, whether in oceanic, polar, desert, rainforest, or montane ecosystems, ... somehow “solved” this supply chain problem. 
Indeed, vast coal seams and fossil fuels speak of even richer ecosystems in the past. 
Fossils show that each species was well supplied with phosphorus for its ATP, membranes, and DNA. New research indicates surprising ways that our planet distributes phosphorus where it is needed and conserves existing supplies.
The role of volcanoes and orogenic processes in keeping phosphorus plentiful throughout Earth’s history, deserves elaboration by design theorists.

Though phosphorus is only a trace component of most lavas its effect must match supply to demand. Observations show that volcanic ash can promote life. 
This year, news from the University of Hawaii announced that “Kilauea volcano’s ash prompted [the] largest open ocean phytoplankton bloom.” Study co-author David Karl included phosphorus as one of the essential elements delivered by the volcano:
The waters in the open ocean of the Pacific are nutrient depleted
and the addition of volcanic ash, especially iron in the ash, and to a lesser extent other trace elements and possibly
phosphate, can stimulate the growth of marine phytoplankton, especially the so-called nitrogen-fixing microbes that can growth in the absence of additional nitrogen,” said Karl."



They mentioned two delivery mechanisms
One was lava flowing into the ocean, warming the deep waters and making them more buoyant. 
Another mechanism is wind.
"The nutrient-rich deep water rising to the sunlit surface stimulated phytoplankton growth, resulting in an extensive plume of microbes offshore of Hawai’i Island. Volcanic ash can be transported much farther distances by winds, especially during explosive eruptions that inject materials high into the atmosphere."

The wind “supply chain” had reached 1,200 miles to the west of Hawaii in this instance. If a small volcano like Kilauea could produce the largest known phytoplankton bloom in the North Pacific, then surely larger volcanoes throughout earth’s history have had the potential to distribute phosphorus worldwide.
Wind also delivers phosphorus in fine dust particles high up in the atmosphere. 
Q: Would anyone imagine that dust from the Sahara could supply phosphorus to the Amazon rainforest? 
That was the surprising conclusion of a NASA report from 2015. Researchers monitored dust plumes from the Sahara with the Calypso satellite, supplementing the orbital images of the plume with ground studies in the Amazon Basin.

Q: But where did the Sahara get its phosphorus? 
Dr. Hongbin Yu from Goddard Space Flight Center explains that it has been stored within dead microbes that are “remnant in Saharan sands from part of the desert’s past as a lake bed.”
"This trans-continental journey of dust is important because of what
is in the dust, Yu said. Specifically the dust picked up from the Bodélé Depression in Chad, an ancient lake bed where rock minerals composed of dead microorganisms are loaded with
phosphorus. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant proteins and growth, which the Amazon rain forest depends on in order to flourish."

The Sahara now shares its bounty with the world, transporting phosphorus from one of the planet’s most desolate places to one of its most fertile.
Of the 182 million tons of Sahara dust lofted by wind annually, only a fraction reaches Amazonia. But remarkably, Amazonia’s shortfall is replenished almost perfectly through this intercontinental aerial delivery mechanism."

In the contemplation of this great theme of salvation........

"I am asked concerning the law in Galatians. 
Q: What law is the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ? 
A: I answer: Both the ceremonial and the moral code of ten commandments.

Christ was the foundation of the whole Jewish economy. 
The death of Abel was in consequence of Cain refusing to accept God's plan in the school of obedience to be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ typified by the sacrificial offerings pointing to Christ. Cain refused the shedding of blood which symbolized the blood of Christ to be shed for the world. 
This whole ceremony was prepared by God, and Christ became the foundation of the whole system. This is the beginning of its work as the schoolmaster to bring sinful human agents to a consideration of Christ the Foundation of the whole Jewish economy.

All who did service in connection with the sanctuary were being educated constantly in regard to the intervention of Christ in behalf of the human race. 
This service was designed to create in every heart a love for the law of God, which is the law of His kingdom. The sacrificial offering was to be an object lesson of the love of God revealed in Christ--in the suffering, dying victim, who took upon Himself the sin of which man was guilty, the innocent being made sin for us.

In the contemplation of this great theme of salvation
we see Christ's work. 
Not only the promised gift of the Spirit, but also the nature and
character of this sacrifice and intervention, is a subject which should create in our hearts elevated, sacred, high ideas of the law of God, which holds its claims upon every human agency. 
The violation of that law in the small act of eating of the forbidden fruit, brought upon man and upon the earth the consequence of disobedience to the holy law of God. 
The nature of the intervention should ever make man afraid to do the smallest action in disobedience to God's requirement.

There should be a clear understanding of that which constitutes sin, and we should avoid the least approach to step over the boundaries from obedience to disobedience.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. 1 John 3:1."

Creation Moment 9/2/2025 - God's Mystery Bubble Tunnels

And though I.....understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2


"A sweeping new analysis published in Astronomy & Astrophysics has revealed a striking feature in the fabric of our galaxy: a tunnel-like structure of hot plasma connecting our solar system’s Local Hot Bubble to distant interstellar regions.

The Local Hot Bubble (LHB) is a massive cavity of low-density, superheated gas that extends roughly 1,000 light-years across. 
This region, which surrounds the solar system.... a million-degree Kelvin plasma that continues to glow in soft X-rays detectable by instruments like eROSITA.

Their findings showed that the bubble is not a neat sphere but an irregular structure, expanding more perpendicular to the galactic plane than along it. 
--The team also found a clear north-south temperature gradient, with the Southern Hemisphere registering an average temperature of 121.8 ± 0.6 eV, compared with 100.8 ± 0.5 eV in the Northern Hemisphere.

What we didn’t know was the existence of an interstellar tunnel towards Centaurus, which carves a gap in the cooler interstellar medium,” said Max Planck astrophysicist Michael Freyberg. The
tunnel could lead to neighboring cavities such as the Gum Nebula or other regions
mapped in previous surveys, indicating that the
LHB may be part of a larger network of interstellar tunnels and bubbles.

The average thermal pressure of the LHB was measured at 10,100 cm⁻³ K, which is significantly lower than that of typical supernova remnants or stellar wind-blown bubbles. This suggests the LHB may be “open” toward high galactic latitudes, allowing energy and plasma to escape and possibly connect with other bubbles." msn

IN the NEWS - Solar Flare Impact-- TODAY

Q: Could this be a taste of the future?
---NOT reporting this to scare anyone---OR to suggest any power on the planet will be knocked out. But RATHER that these things could get worse causing ---...and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Matthew 24:7,8,6/Luke 21:11


"A long-duration solar flare measuring M2.7 at its peak erupted at 20:02 UTC on August 30, 2025. 
The eruption produced an asymmetric full halo coronal mass ejection (CME), with impact expected late on September 1 into September 2. A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect.
The event began at 19:11 UTC, peaked at 20:02 UTC, and ended at 20:41 UTC. The eruption originated from Active Region 4199 (Beta), located near the center of the solar disk.
An asymmetric full halo
CME was first observed in LASCO C3 imagery at approximately 20:30 UTC on August 30.
Impact analysis suggest Earth-arrival after 20:00 UTC on September 1."

Wesley & White on the Law

Do we then make void the law through faith? 
God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 3:31

"The law (1) is divine virtue and wisdom assuming a visible form
The law of God…(2) is a copy of the eternal mind, (3) a transcript of the divine nature. 
John Wesley

"He who becomes a partaker of the divine nature (1) will be in
harmony with God's great standard of righteousness, His holy law. (2) This is the rule by which God measures the actions of men. (3) This will be the test of character in the judgment." 
Ellen White

Wesley calls out silly question relating to Matthew 6:10

"Matthew 6:10 Your will be done,–is the supreme, universal law both in earth and heaven. 
But is the will of God the cause of His law? 
Is His will the original of right and wrong? Is a thing therefore right, because God wills it? or does He will it because it is right?” 
*I fear this celebrated question is more curious than useful. 
And perhaps in the manner it is usually treated of, it does not so well consist with the regard that is due from a creature to the Creator and Governor of all things. 
It is hardly decent for man to call the supreme God 
to give an account to Him." 
John Wesley

IN the NEWS - Secular News Admits VATICAN was/is INVOLDED

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 
Revelation 18:3
Q: What will be the next move for the kings, merchants and beast for global control?

"The powers-that-be were so confident in the success of their endeavor that they essentially proclaimed global government by
bureaucrats and corporations in the very midst of covid. Calling it the “
Council for Inclusive Capitalism working in collusion with the
Vatican
.


The question we have to ask today is, where did it all go? 

For example, in 2020 almost no one knew what ESG was. By 2023 everyone understood that the meaningless acronym for “Environmental, Social, Governance” is actually an insidious cover designed to hide the woke capitalism agenda.

Woke capitalism, also known as inclusive capitalism, is a centralization program which links together governments, NGOs as well as international banks and corporations under one ideological umbrella (globalism, multiculturalism, DEI, climate change, etc).

This massive cartel uses monetary incentives and extortion to force businesses and individuals to conform to a woke/socialist model.


For the last decade these groups have been funding a suffocating propaganda campaign, forcing woke indoctrination onto the masses. However, the globalists didn’t comprehend the level of push-back that they ultimately encountered.

In their arrogance, they ended up inspiring more resistance, not less.
And so, terms like
ESG and DEI are being abandoned. Even Lynn Forester de Rothschild, head of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, was forced to admit that ESG is dead and needs to be rebranded.

They used the term “New World Order”, then switched to “Multipolar World Order”, then to “the Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. This makes it very difficult for researchers to track the most current mechanisms.

in the last year, “Stakeholder Capitalism” has become the fresh code for much of their renewed efforts. It’s not a new term, but it is being used more often by the elites to draw less attention. Some use the phrase “stakeholder capitalism 3.0” or “third phase stakeholder capitalism”.

The original idea being that corporations can no longer make profits a priority. Rather, they must produce equal outcomes (not just equal opportunities) in order to participate in the interdependent
international economy.
 
In order to get access to the system, companies must promote approved narratives on climate and social justice, as well as partner with governments and NGOs to make DEI equity a reality.
The companies that don’t participate will face pressure from government officials and will not be able to compete with companies that comply. The problem is, this requires that meritocracy be erased and that producers be forced to subsidize feeders on a planetary scale.

It’s a cartel, remember, and western political leaders are the enforcers. The U.S. is the only place where ESG is in retreat. This could change in the near term as Europeans grow increasingly rebellious against the multicultural coup, but it does illustrate the fact that woke capitalism (stakeholder capitalism) cannot survive without government intervention."

Creation Moment 9/1/2025 - The Soil of Evolution

"Unfortunately many Christians wrongly perceive that the creation vs evolution debate is just one of those many ‘controversial problems’ facing the church.

Jesus spoke a lot about trees and their fruit. For example, in Matthew 7:16–19, He said, “You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Our worldviews are like a filter or a framework through which we view all of reality.

The tree of secular humanism (which means that man determines truth for himself) is planted in the soil of evolution.
Thus, there is no role for a Creator-God, who only exists in the minds of the religious. 
No one therefore sets the rules, and you can make up your own rules about life; truth is simply what you decide, or what society establishes.
They are simply the fruit (or the symptoms of an underlying problem) of humanism rooted in the soil of evolution
For example, if one believes that humanity is the product of time and chance, then who’s to say it’s wrong to kill unborn children in the womb?

Richard Dawkins, once wrote, “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.Evolution gives a ‘scientific’ excuse for living life as if God does not exist."

Puritan Corner - Prize It

"Christian, prize thou the word, feed on the word, whether it be
dished up in a sermon at the public or in a conference with some Christian friend in private, or in a more secret duty of reading and meditation by thy solitary self."

IN the NEWS - Demonic Violence Stalks the Streets and Churches of America

If the world hate you, 
ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. 
John 15:18
"Robin Westman, a biological man who was living as a woman, has been implicated in Wednesday’s shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis, where at least two people are dead and more than a dozen children have been wounded. The church serves a K-8 school that just began its school year two days ago.

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele — who now works as a partisan left-wing host for MSNBC — trashed Christians and conservatives for offering prayers in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting targeting the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

The alleged Minneapolis shooter displayed his hatred for Christianity
in multiple ways, which included pinning a picture of Jesus on a body target and drawing himself talking to a “demon” in the mirror.

In a long manifesto posted to YouTube, the shooter revealed a strong hatred of Christianity by pinning a picture of Jesus Christ on a body target. He also wrote “Where is Your God?” on a gun magazine.
In his notebook, the shooter also drew a cartoon picture, presumably of himself, talking to a “demon” in the mirror that advised him to kill himself."

.”
Libs of TikTok added, “Shakur was arrested at his home, which was covered in graffiti such as ‘BLM, Free Palestine, and Defund the Police.’ Why does this keep happening???” 
It’s almost as if an activist’s combination of mental illness (transgenderism), pro-terrorist sentiments (“Palestine”), and hatred for law enforcement tends toward his committing deadly violence. This shooting came the same week as the mass shooting committed by transgender "woman" Robert “Robin” Westman at the chapel of a Minneapolis Catholic school, which left two young children dead and 17 people — mostly children — injured."
