End Times Lesson of Gideon's 300

"And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. (Judges 7:6,7) 

This account is a picture of events 

at the end of the age, soon to come. 

Gideon represents Jesus, 

and the three hundred portray 

the last members of the body of Christ.

 A dog customarily drinks water by bending its head and lapping up

water with its tongue, all the while keeping its eyes open, looking ahead. And so those Christians who figuratively scoop up handfuls of water, bringing prophetic truths to their mouth, with their eyes alert and glued forward in anticipation—are most pleasing to the Lord. 

By the possession of such characteristics, they show their submission to the divine will."

Creation Moment 10/15/2026 - Creation, Daniel 7 & Christology comes full circle

"Just as creation starts with the spirit א the waters, then the making of heaven (הַשָּׁ מַ ֖יִם , Gen 1:8), the waters and the sea (י ם ֑ , Gen 1:10), the beasts (Gen 1:25) and then the creation of Adam (Gen 1:26–28), so מּ ִיַ Daniel 7 discusses the wind ( ַרוּח, Dan 7:2a), the heavens (שְׁ מַ יָּ ֔א ; Dan 7:2b), the sea the beasts (Dan 7:3–9), and “one like a son of man” (Dan 7:13). 

In Dan 7:2c ,יַם light of these parallels, the “one like a son of man”

parallels Adam, which explains why the one in Daniel 7 bears the title “one like a son of man.” Christ is “like a son of man” in that He shares some similarity with Adam even while there are differences. 

While being truly man and of Adam’s line, the Messiah is still distinct from man because He is equal to the Ancient of Days. 

He is like Adam because He is everything Adam failed to be and should have been. The “one like a son of man” then is the final Adam, and Daniel 7 adds that truth to Daniel’s Christology."

ARCHAEOLOGY: Historicity of Hezekiah’s reforms

"Second Kings 18:5–6 (ESV) describes Hezekiah in this way: “He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. For he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following Him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses.” Second Chronicles 33:1–4 also confirms this by mentioning that his son, Manasseh, reinstated idolatry in the land by rebuilding the high places that his father had destroyed and erecting altars to Baal and Asheroth.

The prevailing thoughts on the historicity of Hezekiah’s reforms (bringing Judah back to the worship of Yahweh and destroying high places, groves, and images of false gods) is in one of three camps:

*The events are just as described in Scripture.

*The events were the consequences of the Assyrian invasion (not reforms by Hezekiah).

*Hezekiah started these reforms, but the average Judahite only carried out Hezekiah’s orders grudgingly and many religious shrines were merely buried and not destroyed (desecrated).

Unsurprisingly, many Biblical archaeologists refuse to believe option one. Some claim that because of the lack of field evidence, they cannot fully accept that hypothesis even though Scripture repeatedly states it.

Q: Has anything else come to light to corroborate Hezekiah’s reforms? 

A: Yes, and ironically, many of the naysayers of there being evidence of Hezekiah’s reforms have now switched sides, claiming that there is sufficient archaeological evidence. In regard to Tel ‘Eton, there seems to have been a cancellation and burial of a domestic cultic standing stone or massebah, measuring approximately 4.6 feet in height and weighing about 1,650 pounds.

Indeed, we have seen that despite the doubts, most scholars insist that the archaeological evidence supports the historicity of the reform. As Herzog (2010: 196) noted, “The detailed discussion about the abolishment of cult at Arad and Tel Beer-sheba shows that one cannot doubt the fact that these cult centers were intentionally abolished,” concluding that the evidence “justifies the conclusion that the acts of abolishment of cult . . . are a result of Hezekiah’s cultic reform.” . . .
. . . Still, it is likely that the desecration in Lachish, like the dismantling operations at Arad, Beersheba, and Tel ‘Eton, was intentional and, therefore, hints at a coordinating hand. Thus, insofar as the cancellations were intentional and implemented some time before the Assyrian campaign, it seems that Hezekiah’s reform provides a plausible and suitable historical context.

Besides Tel ‘Eton, there is a more directly associated cultic desecration, now acknowledged to be part of Hezekiah’s reforms in Lachish.
Most surprising of all was that in one corner of the room, the archaeologists discovered a seat carved of stone with a hole in the center—what Ganor and Kreimerman believe to be a toilet. This latrine, Ganor and Kreimerman say, was unquestionably a form of desecration of this shrine room—a practice described in the Hebrew Bible [ironically by King Jehu of Israel, who is not described as a good king, since none of the kings of Israel were]: “Then they demolished the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the temple of Baal, and made it a latrine to this day” (2 Kings 10:27)

Additionally, there is also a site in Arad that is considered to be part of Hezekiah’s reforms.
Arad is another case in point. Its large sacrificial altar and the small incense altars were cancelled by careful construction (e.g., Aharoni 1968) that was cautious not to harm the objects themselves (this is so regardless of the hot debate concerning the date of these events).

Faust in his Tel ‘Eton article explains the difference between desecration, destruction, and cancellation.

"While the distinction between destruction and burial of religious (and, in some contexts, also non-religious, symbolic) objects is important, in the following, I would like to elaborate on a third, intermediate option. Such third-option events occur when there are religious changes, and the intent of the reformers is indeed to desecrate preexisting symbols and practices, but the people who carry out these operations still respect and even revere the old objects. They thus follow the orders of the new regime and cancel these objects (or buildings), but they do so with care and (if possible) avoid defiling them. Thus, there is a distinction between the reformers’ intents and those of their agents."

"It should be stated that the cult places in Arad and Beer-Sheba had been destroyed before the Assyrian invasion of 701 by their inhabitants themselves. This indicated changes in religion as well. Since in the case of Arad we have to do with a frontier royal fortress, it is hard to suppose that desecration of the temple in such a place could have taken place without the king’s consent. In the period that is of interest to us, that is in the second half of the 8th c., the Bible mentions only one religious reform accomplished by the king; therefore, it seems logical to associate the findings from Arad and Beer-Sheba with Hezekiah’s activity."

Conclusion
Even many skeptical Biblical archaeologists have conceded that

there appears to be sufficient evidence “on the ground” supporting the Bible’s accounts in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles of Hezekiah’s religious reforms. While it is true that there are still some holdout naysayers, the pendulum appears to have swung in favor or archaeology corroborating what is written in Scripture." AIG

Creation Moment 10/14/2026 - Old and New Testaments Agree on Creation

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead. Romans 1:20

"One reason we should trust what God says about our earliest beginnings is that the New Testament agrees with what Genesis records in the Old Testament. 

Q: What did New Testament authors say happened in the very beginning?
A: Prophets began revealing God’s words to human hearers when the world began. Zacharias said after the Lord restored his voice, “As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began” (Luke 1:70). Genesis says Adam and Eve were created at the start of time, and Mark affirmed this: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female” (10:6).

Today’s New Testament verse teaches that creation has been

revealing the Lord’s “invisible things,” meaning His supernatural essence, since “the creation of the world.” 

Similarly, Hebrews 1:10 aligns with Genesis 1 in that God laid the foundation of the earth “in the beginning” and not billions of years after time began. Clearly both Testaments agree on a recent creation. These records falsify ancient and modern pagan notions of eons before Adam.

Peter encouraged his readers to “be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets [in the Old Testament], and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior [in the New Testament]” (2 Peter 3:2).

Belief in both the Old and New Testaments elevates our opinion of God’s Word and thus His character. He spoke the truth in the beginning about our beginnings. We can trust this God who is Himself “the truth” (John 14:6).

Self-surrender

1 Peter 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. 

“Self-surrender is the substance of the teachings of Christ. 

Often it is presented and enjoined in language that seems authoritative, because there is no other way to save man than to cut away those things which, if entertained, will demoralize the whole being.”

Papal Notes - Analysis of Zenit Article

An Analysis of Catholic News article on Zenit 

"The Catholic Church’s ecological teaching has taken a significant step forward with a new document that argues environmental destruction cannot be understood merely as a scientific, political or economic problem. It is also a matter of sin.

The document, Caring for Our Common Home: A Responsible and Fraternal Response to the Triune God, runs to more than 29,000 words and was developed by a subcommission that worked between

2022 and 2025. It was approved by a majority of the commission’s members in July and authorized for publication by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, after being presented to Pope Leo XIV. Its central argument is clear: the ecological crisis is ultimately inseparable from the crisis of the human person.

The commission traces the present situation to what it calls a “triple transformation” in humanity’s relationship with nature. Over the centuries, the perception of the natural world as God’s creation weakened; an increasingly exploitative form of anthropocentrism emerged; and environmental degradation eventually developed into a crisis of planetary dimensions.

Exploitation, pollution and the destruction of biodiversity are therefore not simply technical failures. They reveal a disorder in humanity’s relationships with God, with other people and with the created world.
The “cry of the earth,” the document argues, is closely linked to the cry of people whose livelihoods, homes and resources are threatened by environmental degradation.

It calls for changes not only in technology and public policy but in personal and cultural habits. Scientific and technical solutions remain necessary, particularly in production, consumption, transportation and energy use. (so it is about gaining TOTAL CONTROL and/or INFLUENCE over every sector of your life---and EVERYONE on this planet)

The document gives particular importance to the Biblical principle of the Sabbath. Rest is not presented merely as a practical interruption of work but as a challenge to the modern impulse to possess, dominate and consume without limits. (the SABBATH is NOT about "Mother Earth" -- it is about honoring God the Father in Obedience and Worship -- He commands you to rest - you rest  And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:--Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,...Mark 2:27/Exodus 20:8,10)

The Eucharist occupies a particularly important place in this vision. The document describes it as an “ecological school” because it teaches believers to receive creation not simply as raw material for consumption but as a gift. 

From that sacramental perspective can emerge, the commission argues, a positive and active relationship with nature — one based neither on exploitation nor on fear. (We don't have a "relationship" with the world. It is an inanimate thing. We have a "relationship" with the animate around us and the Godhead---we communicate with people and God)

The commission also invokes the universal destination of goods, emphasizing that private property is not an absolute right detached from responsibility toward others and future generations.(Marxist rooted politics---who are YOU Rome to determine what one can and cannot do with private property?....who decides what YOU think needs to be done with it is right or relevant?)

The commission recognizes elements of environmental responsibility found in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism,

African religions and Indigenous religious traditions from the Americas and Oceania. It calls for interreligious cooperation wherever believers can work together to protect creation and promote the flourishing of life. (So it is about a back door for to ecumenicalism for the religions of the world under the umbrella of Rome's leadership)

That is why the proposed expression — “sin against creation and against the Creator” — matters. It identifies environmental destruction not as an abstract crime committed against an impersonal planet, but as a rupture of relationships: with God, with other human beings and with the world humanity has received as a gift.
More than a decade after Laudato Si’, the Church’s theological reflection is therefore moving toward an even sharper conclusion." (Oh you got that one right --- ...and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3)

Creation Moment 10/13/2026 - Big Bang Goes Bust Again....

"The JWST has allowed scientists to peer deeper into space than ever before. And what they find continues to overturn evolutionary and deep-time expectations. It’s happened yet again.
According to popular science reports, “JWST has revealed that galaxies were spreading carbon, oxygen, and other heavy elements through space just 500 million years after the Big Bang. The surprising discovery suggests the young universe became chemically enriched much earlier than expected. . . .”

Well, this new study, which used JWST data to supposedly peer at “galaxies as they appeared more than 13 billion years ago”—that’s very close to the alleged big bang—claims that these stars are elusive because “early galaxies were already sending heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen into surrounding space much sooner than expected” and “if galaxies were already enriching nearby space only 500 million years after the Big Bang, truly pristine gas may have disappeared quickly. As a result, Population III stars may not have remained common for long enough to be easily observed.”

The article says,

"Remarkably, the chemical signatures surrounding these infant galaxies looked similar to those found around far more mature galaxies billions of years later. The finding suggests that even at cosmic dawn, galaxies were already manufacturing heavy elements and spreading them into their surroundings."

But in reality, the finding does not suggest that “galaxies were already manufacturing heavy elements and spreading them” at cosmic dawn—the evidence is that galaxies look the same no matter how far away they are (remember, they are measuring distance, not time—the alleged time is also an interpretation based on assumptions). The idea that pressure in “early” stars created heavy elements and then supernovae spread those elements to be incorporated into newer stars and planets is an interpretation of the observational evidence.

**There’s another explanation for why Population III stars have never been found and why the universe isn’t matching the expectations of those who start with the big bang: The big bang didn’t happen.

The Bible gives us the true history of the universe, and it didn’t begin with a big bang and stars slowly forming. It began when God spoke and fashioned the earth, covered with water, and then He created light and darkness, and on day four of creation week, He created the stars fully functioning also. The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands. (Psalm 19:1)." AIG

Paul's 4 Lessons to remember when going through suffering or pain

This is from Mark Finley after his hospitalization

 for a 2nd time this year from serious injuries.

"Paul gives us four lessons to remember when we're going through suffering or pain. 

Now, you may not be going through any suffering or pain right now, but I'll tell you sometime you most likely you will. 

We don't get out of this life without going through some suffering, some pain, some heartache.

There are four great principles that Paul gives in 2 Corinthians 4. 

1- We start with verse 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of

us. So Paul says this treasure of Christ, this treasure of Jesus that we have is in earthen vessels.
The first thing for us to remember is this -- that in this life, our bodies are fragile. We're always just a few moments away from some accident. We're a few moments away from some sickness, some disease that can afflict our bodies. 

Q: And so, what does that do? 

A: It keeps us from being arrogant. It keeps us from being proud.

2- The second point that Paul makes here is that he says in verse 8 of 2 Corinthians 4, we are hard pressed on every side yet not

crushed. We are perplexed but not in despair. Those are amazing verses. Paul says all this stuff is happening to us. We're pressed down
on every side.
So, you may be confused with what's happening to you right now.
Why? Why? Why? But notice what God says here. Paul says, "We are perplexed, but we are not in despair." 

Q: Why not? 

A: Because we know that Christ is with us.

3- But notice the third principle. When we feel pressed on every side,

when we feel perplexed, notice verse 10, third principle, always
carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may be manifest in our body. 

When we go through pain and suffering and we can be powerful witnesses for Christ and share His grace with others, then the life of
Christ is manifest in our suffering.

4- But there's one last point that Paul makes that I think is the most

powerful. He says here he talks about the fact that death works in all of us. But then he points beyond that to this incredible hope. And I think this is what what we can hang our hang on to verses 16 to 18 in 2 Corinthians 4. Therefore, we do not lose heart. We don't lose heart in suffering. We don't lose heart in sickness. We don't lose heart in pain. 

Q: Why not?

A:Therefore, we don't lose heart even though our outward man is perishing. But he goes on, it gets better. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

So Paul is saying whatever affliction you have, 

it's just for a moment in the light of eternity. 

It's for a moment.

Look beyond your pain. Look beyond your heartache. 

Keep your eyes fixed on eternity. 

Keep your eyes fixed on the fact that Jesus Christ will come again." Mark Finley

Oneness does not necessarily mean singleness

"Hear o Israel the Lord Yahweh singular it's a singular word the Lord Yahweh Our God Elohim plural is one Lord Yahweh Elohim. 

Yahweh that's what it says that's the Hebrew singular --plural--
singular that is what it says.... do you understand friends Oneness does not necessarily singleness while God is one he is not necessarily single ....it says it right in the text. 

Q: Who created us in the beginning?

A: God Elohim and that's the plural form of God Elohim created the Heaven and the earth and the spirit of God...

Q: well who's that? 

A: It's the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit. 

*He was there at the beginning and He moved upon the face of the

waters and God Elohim said let Us make man in Our image is that singular or plural it's plural friends plural and that's not God talking to the angels....God speaking to amongst themselves the councils of heaven and Ephesians 3:9 it says God who created All Things by Jesus Christ so we have the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit."

Creation Moment 10/12/2026 - How one's view of origins shapes everything that follows

Timing of the 3 Angels' Messages and the Judgment

"It is not a coincidence that at the time of Christ's transition from the Holy to the Most Holy Place—1844---the present-truth message linked with the transition came to light. The three angels' messages of Revelation 14 began to be preached only as the truth of Christ's

"second apartment" ministry came to be understood, because the three angels' messages are tied to that second phase of Christ's work.
The messages that the Bible portrays as God's final call to the world, messages for "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people" (Revelation 14:6) and which contain the most solemn warning in God's word (vv. 9-11), are given in the setting of the judgment in progress: "for the hour of his judgment is come" (v. 7)."

Creation Moment 10/11/2026 - The 3-D Genetic Code Functions in 4-D

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things,... Isaiah 40:26

"First, we learned that DNA is a molecule: a nucleic acid. 

Then we learned that it is a double helix. 

Then we learned that its 2-D sequence of nucleotides is

informational: it codes for genes. 

Then we learned that DNA is not haphazardly stuffed into the nucleus: it’s a 3-D information system — a genome, with a shape related to its function. 

Then we learned that the genome is accompanied by a plethora of molecular machines and regulators, comprising an interactome. 

Then we learned that the shape DNA takes on in the nucleus has an architecture: it folds into topological domains and functional compartments. The interactome became a nucleome.

Now, DNA has entered the fourth dimension: it is a dynamic architecture, constantly reconfiguring itself in functional ways with the aid of a multitude of molecular machines in dizzying motions and interactions. A factory in a cathedral could hardly compare. For the final dose of awe, consider that the molecular machines that operate on DNA are coded in DNA! Gone is the Central Dogma. Gone is the myth of Junk DNA."

From the Church of the 12 tribes to that of the 12 Disciples

"C. Gilbert in his book Practical Lessons wrote concerning the 70-week prophecy: “The seventy weeks had ended; Israel as a nation, as a separate people, was cut off. . . . And the Gentiles, who formerly were not a people, had now become the people of God.” 

And William H. Shea, speaking about the stoning of Stephen, wrote, “When Stephen died, the last prophetic voice had spoken to Israel as the elect people of God.”
Raoul Dederen, in his article “The Church” wrote: “In NT times the term ‘Israel’ represents no longer a national entity but the spiritual people of God, the new Israel. Because national Israel rejected its Messiah, God pursued His work of salvation by giving the kingdom ‘to a nation producing the fruits of it’ (Matthew 21:43). . . . Israel, as God’s covenant people, was rejected. . . . The privileges, promises, and blessing of the covenant relationship were transferred to the Christian church as spiritual Israel and as God’s chosen instrument on earth.” Gerhard Pfandl

From the "Really" File - (hail satan?)

You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? Acts 13:10

"The Ottumwa Courier reported that resident and former council

member Matt Dalbey, dressed in black, read a satanic prayer to start the Ottumwa City Council meeting, saying, "Dear Dark Father, let us stand now, unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds and darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old."
"Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations," he continued.
He concluded, "It is done. Hail Satan."

From the "Really" File

Presumably, the "It is done" pronouncement was intended to mock Jesus' last words spoken from the cross, "It is finished."
City administrator Philip Rath addressed the controversy on KBIZ's "Dialogue" show Wednesday morning, saying Ottumwa, located 85 miles southeast of Des Moines, had adopted a new policy in January, which opened the invocation up to participants from other faiths besides Christianity, according to the Ottumwa Courier." msn

REALLY?

Creation Moment 10/10/2026 - By analogical reasoning

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. Romans 1:20 AMP

"In objects of known origin, there are certain features—specified

complex information—that occur only in those made by an intelligent designer (or an intelligently designed program). 

So by the normal analogical reasoning we use in science, when we see these features in an object where the origin is unknown, we can likewise conclude that this object had an intelligent designer."

Mirroring the self-exalting spirit of Lucifer

"There is a religious system in the world today—the Roman Catholic papacy— that mirrors the self-exalting spirit of Lucifer. 

This apostate human system exalts itself and aspires and claims to occupy the place of Christ on earth, even to point of changing God’s law! 

The Bible describes this system as the antichrist, a word that means ‘in place of Christ’: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away [apostasía] comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Creation Moment 10/9/2026 -Literal days

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Genesis 1:14

"...it may be surprising to many people to learn how strong are the Biblical arguments in its support, if the indispensable historical/grammatical system of Biblical hermeneutics are be accepted:

Although the Hebrew word for "day (yom) can refer to a time period longer than 24 hours (e.g. "day of the Lord"), its attachment to a numerical adjective restricts its meaning to 24 hours ("second day," etc.,cf Num.7:12-78).

The formula "evening and morning" indicates a 24-hour cycle of the earth rotating on its axis in reference to a fixed astronomic light source (not necessarily the sun). 

No Israelite would have understood God's days of creation to be longer than 24 hours, especially because of the clear analogy with man's weekly cycle of work and rest (Exod.20:11;31:15-17). Six "days" (plural) cannot be figurative.

The "days" of Genesis 1:14 must be literal or the word "years" in the same verse would be meaningless.

Nothing is really gained by lengthening the creation days to accommodate the evolutionary timetable of earth history, for the revealed events are often in reverse order from that which evolutionism requires (e.g. earth before sun; whales before land mammals; birds before reptiles)." 

John C. Whitcomb

The Holy 3

"Matthew 28:19 (Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:) clearly points out that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. 

“There are three living persons of the heavenly trio. In the name of

these three powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, [a clear reference to the baptismal formula in Matthew 28:18] and these powers will cooperate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ.” Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, pp. 62, 63 first published in 1905."Stephen Bohr

Creation Moment 10/8/2026 - Earth's waters

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2

"Homogeneous accretion of the Earth in the inner Solar System (Sossi and Bower, Nature Astronomy, 27 March 2026) Their research has overturned conventional assumptions in planetary science that were held for several decades.

Secular theories of Earth’s formation have leaned heavily on the idea that our planet was built from a mixture of inner and outer Solar System materials. This framework was especially important for explaining how Earth acquired volatile substances such as water. Yet Sossi and Bower (2026) utilized a novel methodology based heavily

on experimental data and less on assumed mechanisms to conclude that earth’s composition is “entirely of material from the inner Solar System, distinct from any combination of existing meteorites.”

The implications of these findings are enormous, as it contradicts several foundational secular assumptions about how our planet formed. In particular, it suggests that Earth is not simply a collage of known meteorite types. Its identity cannot be simply reconstructed by mixing known meteorite compositions. Sossi and Bower’s research also points to a greater level of stability of the early universe than was once thought and indicates that water on earth was not ‘seeded’ from far away. 

This article reflects on some of the implications of these findings, and how this new evidence increasingly aligns with aspects of the Biblical account in Genesis.

Sossi and Bowen’s research highlights at least three distinct findings that appear to resonate well within the Biblical description of origins, namely:

The earth’s water was present early in its formation and not seeded later from a distance.

The earth formed from a coherent source, not multiple meteorites, unlike conventional views thought.
The inner and outer planets are more stable than once thought."

What Christ Extolled

"Jesus repeatedly warned against the

danger of upward mobility and
the virtue of downward. 

He extolled the simplicity of a child: Matthew 18:2, 3 “Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

Creation Moment 10/7/2026 -Turning Romans 1:20 on Atheists

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20

"Meyer cites lines of evidence from cosmology, physics, and molecular biology. But, the surviving New Atheists object, science must “reject the idea of a designing mind because no such entity can be directly observed.” Is that some sort of scientific first principle? Not at all, as is also becoming clearer:
"Dark matter …, which has been in the news of late, was first

inferred not because it could be seen, but because — if it existed — it would explain the otherwise unexplainable motions of galaxies within distant galaxy clusters. The fact is that scientists often infer unobservable causes from their observable effects, and the inference to intelligent design from the observable features of living cells has this same character."

Purpose of the Sermon on the Mount

And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,... 

Matthew 5:2

"The words of Christ on the mount 

*were an expression of that which had been the unspoken teaching of His life, but which the people had failed to comprehend. 

*They could not understand how, having such great power, He neglected to use it in securing what they regarded as the chief good.

*Their spirit and motives and methods were the opposite of His. 

*While they claimed to be very jealous for the honor of the law, self-glory was the real object which they sought; and Christ would make it manifest to them that the lover of self is a transgressor of the law." E.G.W.
