IN the NEWS - A Look at Death with a 117 year old

"Maria Branyas lives in a nursing home in northeastern Spain (Olot, Girona) and recently celebrated her 117th birthday with a cake and a small gathering.

“What do you expect from life?” Esteller asked the old woman. “Death,” she replied. (And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27)

“Death is like that old friend you know will drop by anytime.”

(Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14)

Esteller took blood, mouth and urine samples from Branyas. “We will study the genome, microbes, proteins and metabolism to uncover clues explaining high longevity, and investigate any genetic mutations,” he said. 

Even without conclusive results, the scientist already has some data: Branyas’ cells are roughly 10 years younger than their actual age. How is this possible? “Because she was dealt a great hand and has played her cards very well for 117 years,” said Esteller, who likens genetics to cards. They can be good or bad, but they must be played well to have a long life.

But the wear and tear of 117 years can be clearly seen with a microscope. “Her cells no longer have the tips of the chromosomes, which are like a protective hood. And she barely has any stem cells and immune system cells left.” (For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22)

Creation Moment 7/28/2024 - Computer Models vs. Creator

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8

"Computer models are useful tools in many branches of science. Through models, astronomers envision the nature of the interiors of stars and planets, meteorologists predict the paths of hurricanes, and geophysicists predict the impacts of changing ocean currents.

But models are not the same as realities: they are only simulations of realities. The complexity of many phenomena, such as historical and future climate, challenge simulation. The reliability of computer models depends on the accuracy and completeness of empirical data used as input to the models, on the applicability of equations used, and on their track record of congruence with observational data.

Increasingly, scientists rely on software written by non-scientists. These programs often make simplifying assumptions to save processing power. 

Q: How can scientists be sure that all the factors were considered and balanced? 

Q: What unknowns were acknowledged? What “unknown unknowns” could increase the error in conclusions? 

It is risky to use off-the-shelf computer models without knowing the assumptions used by the programmers.

While computer models can be useful as heuristic tools, they cannot replace observation. Observation is one of the pillars of science that presumably separates it from other forms of knowledge: observe a phenomenon, make a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon, test the hypothesis with measurements. Models are one step removed from this classical Baconian method, leaning on someone else’s understanding of how things work."

2 Peter 1:5

Giving all diligence, 

add to your faith virtue; 

and to virtue knowledge,.... 

2 Peter 1:5

"If thou wouldest enjoy the eminent grace of the full assurance of faith, under the blessed Spirit's influence, and assistance, do what the Scripture tells thee, "Give diligence." 

Plead with God that He would give thee the face of a lion, that thou mayest, with a consciousness of right, go on boldly.

Study well the Scriptures, and get knowledge; for a knowledge of doctrine will tend very much to confirm faith. 

Try to understand God's Word; 

let it dwell in thy heart richly.

Have a love to all the saints: "Give diligence," if you would get assurance, 

for lukewarmness and doubting 

very naturally go hand in hand."

IN the NEWS - Charisma Magazine Spreads Fake News

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Matthew 15:19

"Charisma Magazine, a prominent Christian publication targeting Pentecostal and charismatic audiences, advocates for observing Sunday as a day of rest, emphasizing its benefits for mental and physical health.

On July 21, 2024, Charisma magazine reported the following:
• “The Sabbath is for renewal. Similar to yearly rites of passage and other life thresholds such as birthdays, anniversaries and holidays,

each Sunday is the birth of a new week with fresh opportunities for the good work the Lord equips us for.”
• “Each new Sunday is a rebirth, a time for an accounting of the past while recommitting our future back to the Father who gifted them to us from the beginning.”
• “The relentless pursuit of productivity often leads to burnout and diminished mental and physical health.”
• “In this era of digital distraction..... Your Sundays offer a precious opportunity to unplug from the digital noise and cultivate deeper connections—with Jesus, with loved ones, with your church family and among friends and neighbors where we have the chance to bring Jesus to a world starved for His peace and joy.”

This is referred to as misleading advertising and fake news. Instead of referring to Saturday, a false and deceptive claim is made about Sunday. There is a widespread movement to elevate Sunday—a man-made invention—above God’s true Sabbath. Sunday worship is a departure from the Biblical commandment and embraces the traditions of men."

Creation Moment 7/26/2024 - Hybodonts

"Current news from the field of paleontology is what creationists expected and even predicted. Whether recent fossil discoveries are invertebrates or vertebrates, they will not document gradual evolutionary progression from one kind into another kind.

Some of the latest examples include a new species of extinct shark named Parvodus ominechonensis that was discovered in Japan. Scientists determined it belongs to a small group of hybodontiform sharks called the hybodonts. They appear in the fossil record as hybodonts with the last disappearing abruptly.

The fossil record shows the many species of cartilaginous fish (i.e., sharks) suddenly appearing in the sedimentary rocks, but their origin “is still shrouded mystery.”

Creationists maintain that although new species of plant or animal are constantly discovered, many can be placed within the created kinds that God described in Genesis 1. 

Sharks are an excellent example. Although today’s oceans are teeming with many unique types of shark—and even more so in the pre-Flood world—they remain sharks. 

Evolutionist Michael Benton states that sharks of the genus Cladoselache are basal, i.e., some of the first sharks to have evolved. Yet, these sharks are “surprisingly modern looking.”

When paleontologists unearth victims of the recent worldwide

cataclysm—either vertebrate of invertebrate—they show either sudden appearance with variation within the created kind, sudden disappearance, or are still alive today as living fossils. There are God-designed natural limits to biological change." ICR

A Sabbath Lesson from the Manna

"Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a Sabbath unto the Lord; to-day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none." 

Here, then, the seventh-day Sabbath was distinctly singled out and held apart from all the other days of the week by the fact, first: that the manna would not keep over to any other day than the

seventh-day Sabbath, by which fact they were excluded from using or keeping any more than a single daily portion for each individual; second: on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, and on that day alone, would any portion keep, beyond the single daily portion for each individual, and, in view of this fact, a double portion was gathered on the sixth day; 

third: there was no manna given on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath. 

---Thus, by these specific facts, which were directly and wholly controlled by the Lord Himself, the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, was distinctly designated. 

And that all this was not only without their choice, but even against their choice, is plain from the fact that, though for all the days except the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, they were commanded not to leave any of it till the morning, yet they disregarded the command, and would have their own way, and left some of it till the morning. But, by causing to spoil all that they had so carefully laid up, the Lord instructed them that His word means exactly what it says."

Creation Moment 7/25/2024 - Darwin Attempted to FLIP THE SCRIPT

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

Genesis 1:1

"The exquisite engineering seen in biology has always been the big question that needs to be explained. Darwin could have tackled it in several ways. One tactic would be to simply deny any design by claiming that creatures really show overwhelmingly shoddy workmanship, engineering mistakes, or accumulated “junk.”

Some evolutionists have taken up this kludge of thinking. Yet, Darwin rejected this “argument from ignorance.” He knew that many people would intuitively conclude that such talk is foolish. Besides, it would most certainly be overturned by future research.

Darwin would have none of that and took a cleverer approach that readily acknowledged features of design. 

First, he rolled into his narrative familiar perceptions about the operation of engineered entities. Thus, his narrative requires more discernment to understand its true implications. It’s mentally difficult to disentangle his causation from all others—even design-based ones.
Second, Darwin fully granted that organisms do show exceptional characteristics that are indicative of highly intelligent engineering. But instead of attributing biological design to the agency of a (1) supernatural, (2) conscious, and (3) loving (4) God, Darwin’s narrative flips everything around and tells of a (-1) totally natural, (-2) unconscious, and (-3) cruel process that (-4) enables nature to exercise godlike agency. 

Stephen Jay Gould gives this insightful history:

"[Darwin] holds that this order, the very basis of Paley’s inference

about the nature of God, arises…as a side-consequence of a causal principle [natural selection] of entirely opposite import….Could any argument be more subversive? One accepts the conventional observation, but then offers an explanation that not only inverts orthodoxy, but seems to mock the standard interpretation….This more radical version lies at the core of Darwin’s argument for natural selection."

None of these belong to man as he is

"Says this Word in 1 Timothy: "Now unto the King eternal,

immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." Chap. 1:17. 

Here it is shown that immortality is an attribute of God, equally with eternity, wisdom, honor, glory, etc. 

None of these belong to man as he is."

IN the NEWS - Capping Babies on the Streets (so Luciferian these days)

And shed innocent blood.... Psalm 106:38

"Authorities are searching for a woman who shot a baby in a stroller in Philadelphia this week.
Chilling video footage shows the moment a woman shot a seven-month-old infant in Philadelphia — heartlessly shouting “F—k your baby!” as the child’s mother screamed in horror.
The unidentified boy was sitting in a stroller in the northeast section of the city when the attacker opened fire on his parents — striking the tot in the leg according to police who are searching for the suspect.
The assailant is shown strolling past the mom and child then casually turning and firing at them from point-blank range. “My baby!” the infant’s mom can be heard shrieking as the baby cries out.
“F--k your baby, b--ch!” the gunwoman callously shouts back.
According to police, it appears the argument stems from a $100 narcotics debt." NYP

A High Court ruling at the start of the summer came down in favor of a quota system which secures 30% of government jobs for family members of veterans who fought in Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence from Pakistan. The student protesters have demanded a system based on merit. A series of initially peaceful university protests resulted in increasingly chaotic scenes and clashes with police, resulting in casualties. From there protests have grown nation-wide."

ARCHAEOLOGY: Millo

"Archaeologists have uncovered a 'monumental' structure Jerusalem that is mentioned in two books of the Bible.

They uncovered ruins of an ancient moat that was built more than 3,000 years ago in the City of David, which is considered one of the oldest cities in history and believed to be the birthplace of Jesus.
Ophel and Millo are terms used in scripture to describe different parts of the City of David.
One reference can be found in the first Book of Kings (11:27), as King Solomon is described as building the construction, which was dubbed the 'Millo.': '… Solomon built up the 'Millo' and closed up the breach in the wall of the City of David his father.'
The location was built on top of a narrow, steep ridge overlooking hills and valleys that divided the land and made it difficult to move from one area to another.
'We are confident that [the moat] was used at the time of the First Temple and the Kingdom of Judah [in the ninth century BC], so it created a clear buffer between the residential city in the south and the upper city in the north,' Dr Shalev said.
According to the researchers, the moat was designed to change the City of David's topography to display Jerusalem's ruler's powers over others who entered their gates and emphasized their strength and capability to defend their walls at the time."

Creation Moment 7/24/2024 - Earth's Circulatory System

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 

Genesis 1:2

"Unlike almost all other substances, water expands and becomes less dense in its solid form than it is in its liquid form. Ice has an open

structure that is sustained by the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. If ice behaved like almost all other substances (a notable exception being the metal gallium, which also expands on freezing), it would sink to the bottom and the oceans would freeze from the bottom up, leading to much of our planet being permanently encased in ice — since the ice beneath the water would be shielded from the warmth of the sun’s rays. Since ice expands upon freezing, however, it insulates the water beneath the surface, keeping it in its liquid form. 

---This property of water is essential to complex life, both marine and terrestrial.

Water is also a nearly universal solvent, and this property is critical to its role in dissolving minerals from the rocks. Indeed, almost all known chemicals dissolve in water to at least some extent. The solubility of carbon dioxide in water and its reaction with water to yield carbonic acid also promotes chemical reactions with these minerals, increasing their solubility.

For life on land to thrive, the dissolved minerals also must be

deposited on land, which is made possible by the hydrological cycle whereby the water from the oceans evaporates into the atmosphere and returns to the ground as rain or snow. The hydrological cycle is itself made possible by water’s existence in three states (solid, liquid, and gas) in the range of ambient temperatures at the earth’s surface. This ability to exist in three different states at the ambient conditions at the earth’s surface is unique among all known substances. Were it not for this unique property of water, the land masses of our planet would exist as a barren dessert. 

Michael Denton remarks concerning this remarkable property: 

“the delivery of water to the land is carried out by and depends upon the properties of water itself. Contrast this with our artifactual designs, where key commodities such as clothes or gasoline must be delivered by extraneous delivery systems such as trucks and trains. Gasoline cannot deliver itself to gas stations nor clothes to clothing stores. But water, by its own intrinsic properties, delivers itself to the land via the hydrological cycle.”

Various properties of water also make it an ideal medium for the

circulatory system of complex organisms like ourselves.
Another characteristic of water is that its viscosity is one of the lowest of any known fluid. The pressure that is needed to pump a fluid increases proportionally with its viscosity. Therefore, if the viscosity of water were significantly increased, it would become prohibitively difficult to pump the blood through the circulatory system. Denton notes that 

“the head of pressure at the arterial end of a human capillary is thirty-five mm Hg, which is considerable (about one-third that of the systolic pressure in the aorta). This relatively high pressure is necessary to force the blood through the capillaries. This would have to be increased massively if the viscosity of water were several times higher, and is self-evidently impossible and incommensurate with any sort of biological pump.”

Water, furthermore, has one of the highest specific heat capacities of any known fluid. By serving to retard the cooling rate, this property conserves water in its liquid form when it comes into contact with air that is below freezing temperature. Another remarkable feature of water is its evaporative cooling effect. As water evaporates from an object’s surface, the molecules with more kinetic energy escape as a gas, whereas those with lower kinetic energy remain in liquid form. This serves to reduce the surface temperature. The evaporative cooling effect of water is in fact higher than that of any other known molecular liquid — i.e., compounds composed of two or more types of atoms. This characteristic of water is particularly important for warm-blooded organisms when the external temperature is warmer than their core body temperature and thus the excess heat cannot be radiated out into the environment. Instead, excess heat is lost through the evaporative cooling effect of water, maximized by numerous sweat glands on the skin surface."

Unto them

Unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:28

"This is our hope. 

He to whom we have already looked as coming once to bear the sins of many will have another manifestation to the sons of men; this is a happy prospect in itself. But that second appearing has certain

peculiar marks which glorify it exceedingly.

He comes not to bear the result of our transgressions but to bring the result of His obedience; not to remove our condemnation but to perfect our salvation.

Our Lord thus appears only to those who look for Him. He will not be seen in this character by men whose eyes are blinded with self and sin. To them He will be a terrible Judge and nothing more. We must first look to Him and then look for Him; and in both cases our look shall be life."

IN the NEWS - What's going on? Very strange Times in America

For now we see through a glass, darkly... 

1 Corinthians 13:12

These are strange days in American Politics---and rapidly moving ones.

First, you have the strange call by Biden to have the Debates BEFORE the Convention---yet that DEBACLE led to his dropping out----this has never happened before.

Second, you had the assassination attempt on Trump that solidified his base like never before and had even Leftwing pundits throwing their hands in their air declaring there was no way to beat him now.

Third, you have Harris, who until Biden dropped out, was considered even by her supporters, as having no chance to beat Trump. She is the most unpopular Vice President on record and not considered the brightest out there. Yet the moment of Bidens Dropping out Democrats became electrified as if they found their next JFK or Obama.....strange.

Q: Is the guiding hand of Providence moving here?

Q: What purpose would another Trump term serve in the trajectory of America's role as the Land Beast of Revelation---if any?

Q: What purpose would a Harris term serve in the trajectory of America's role as the Land Beast of Revelation---if any?

Q: How could Harris possibly win?

A: She could win the undecided women on election day who could

use gender as their deciding factor as well as woo young females from Green Party Jill Stein (who is polling between 1-3%) and woman from major 3rd Party Independent candidate Bobby Kennedy Jr. (who is polling from high single digits to low teens).

----on the other hand, she could flop miserably like she has done as Vice President and deliver Trump a solid win with solid margins in both houses of Congress.

SERIOUSLY: It does seem that something is going on behind the veil of the seen and unseen---between Prince Michael and the Prince of Persia in all this.....

The Initial betting Markets say - "Trump led 64-29 against US Vice

President Harris two hours after Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential contest and endorsed Harris, according to a recent forecast by Polymarket." (BuisinessToday). ...but betting markets, like polls, can change.

Creation Moment 7/23/2024 - The 2 Sciences

"Experimental science is observable through the scientific method based on hypothesis testing. It must be repeatable over time and reproducible by others. 

However, historical science deals with unique events that happened in the past, a bit like forensics. While pieces of evidence are collected from a crime scene to recreate an historical narrative, the most crucial evidence concerns eyewitness accounts. Similarly, both evolution and creation are historical science. Evolution is not supported by any eyewitness account. Biblical creation relies on the Chief Eyewitness, the Creator God, who conceived creation before the foundation of the world (even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.."

God's Hand in the Presidency

Since America has a destiny with End Time Prophecy, and that it is clear that God's hand guided the nation through it's Revolution, the founding of it's government and blessed it so that, as Reagan said

"....that great American spirit that opened up this completely undeveloped continent from coast to coast and made it a great nation..." the question arises---

Q: what purpose as seen from behind the veil of the seen and the unseen, did each President serve?

Some may have been positive and some nefarious as the Hand of God weaves our path to our rendezvous with Prophecy. A weaving of which in the here and now seems murky on the pages of history (For now we see through a glass, darkly; 1 Corinthians 13:12).

But if one looks closely-----

One can see George Washington's character coming through saving

the young republic by an act as simple as putting on his glasses at a key moment (was he divinely guided to do so at the key moment?) or in his character of stepping aside after two terms and resisting the call to crown him a king---thereby setting the course of American political stability.

Or Teddy Roosevelt's leadership skills, charisma

and personal stamina that thrust America in the throes of the Industrial Revolution onto the global map as an emerging superpower. What of his being saved from bullets that ripped his shirt and hat up without a scratch in the Spanish American War at the head of the Rough Riders....thus propelling him to the status of the top war hero of that conflict and carved out his path to the White House.

Or the former "Conscious Whig" Abraham Lincoln's home spun

humble wisdom to hold a nation together with his temperament during the biggest internal crises we have yet faced. Was a divine hand moving among the Democrats to field 2 tickets

(Douglas/Johnson 29% & Breckinridge/Lane 18%) that election of 1860 as well as moving the Constitutional Unionist Party to field a ticket (Bell/Everett 13%)--thereby enabling the abolitionist to win due to a 4 way race?

Or what of Woodrow Wilson? He laid the groundwork for both opening the door in the public arena for the secularization of the

nation in the public arena with his open praise and embracing of Darwinian Macro-Evolution and Long Age Chronology setting the stage for cultural decay.  (...when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8)

Or his governing style of opening the door to a modern technocrat globalization and his League of Nations rhetoric. A step by step march towards a global kumbaya moment for the the planet led by the U.S. (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).

Or James Buchanan, whose indecisive phlegmatic hand at the helm couldn't stop the hemorrhaging of Bleeding Kansas that opened the door for Civil War. In fact he didn't run for reelection because he didn't want to be around for the war as President. The result was war, the abolition of the sin of slavery and who knows what other impacts were laid that influences the flow of events not seen to our eyes to the end--pro or con. 

Or what of Obama? He declared the first Pride Month and shifted public opinion on LGBT now mainstreamed to the point that we now have men in dresses running the country (as an assistant secretary of HHS) and some politicians trying to trans your kids. It has become

like the days of Lot which was known for Sodom. (Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;...But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:28-30).

A possible reason in the end for a call to a return to God in the end? 

Or his taking us from more debt racked up from the beginning of the nation until his Presidency in just 8 years thereby laying the groundwork for a coming economic collapse as it all crashes down--which in turn--could be used to justify ushering in programable digital currency--thereby giving the government the mechanism to control buying and selling with the push of a bureaucrats button. (And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17).

As for Trump and Biden, many Christians see a Divine Hand (and likely so) in the current rapid political events. From the Biden massive Debate Debacle doing him serious political damage to the assassination attempt on Trump. 

Q: Did a Divine Hand move Biden's Handlers to demand a pre-

convention debate (a first) and apparently not give him his shot they give him to get him through a couple of hours? Will this lead him to step aside or if he stays in the race contribute to a massive defeat at the ballot box?

Q: Did a Divine Hand move Trumps head at the right second which has resulted in many claiming He was preserved by God and that it is God's will he be President again? 

---For between the PR optics of Trump nearly being killed on

camera and rising up bloodied while raising his fist in defiance to his Convention within days with his patch on his ear to the kissing of the former fireman's uniform that died at his rally----Democrat's can't compete with that. They have no optics available to compete.

Q: What is going on behind the veil of the seen and unseen?

Q: What purpose did or will Trump serve in all this?

Q: What purpose did Biden serve in all this?

Q: Will another Democrat be nominated and win and if so what purpose will they serve?

This struggle behind the veil of the seen and unseen---the angel sent to Daniel, held up while trying to influence the kings of Persia (obviously to guide the flow of history on it's overall trajectory) struggling with the Prince of Persia (symbol for Lucifer in this context) behind the veil of history.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 

Daniel 10:13
