Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 103

"Psalm 103:
This hymn is one of the greatest praise psalms in the entire

collection.

This psalm represents a soliloquy in which David survey’s God’s goodness and encourages the angels and the works of God’s creation to join him in divine praise.
I. A Call for Human Praise (103:1-19).
A. Personally (103:1-5);
B. Corporately (103:6-19).
II. A Call for Creation’s Praise (103:20-22b).
A .Angels (103:20-21);
B. Works of Creation (103:22a-b).
III. A Refrain of Personal Praise (103:22c).

Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] His holy name.
Psalm 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalm 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving- kindness and tender mercies;
Psalm 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Psalm 103:13 Like as a father pitieth [His] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.
Psalm 103:14 For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we [are] dust.
Psalm 103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Psalm 103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
And the place thereof shall know it no more. The flower blooms no more. It may have a successor, but as for itself its leaves are scattered, and its perfume will never again sweeten the evening air. Man also dies and is gone, gone from his old haunts, his dear home, and his daily labors, never to return. 

As far as this world is concerned, he is as though he never had been; the sun rises, the moon increases or wanes, summer and winter run their round, the rivers flow, and all things continue in their courses as though they missed him not.

Psalm 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him...

Psalm 103:19 The LORD hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all.
Psalm 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
Psalm 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] His hosts; [ye] ministers of His, that do His pleasure."

Creation Moment 5/21/2026 -"standard general definition of materialism"

For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 

2 Corinthians 12:6

"There is actually no evidence-based reason from human experience to

think that physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena (a standard general definition of materialism)."

III. A Prayer for Longer Life 

(102:23-28).
1. Afflicted men may pray.
2. Afflicted men should pray even when overwhelmed.
3. Afflicted men can pray—for what is wanted is a pouring out of their complaint, not an oratorical display.
4. Afflicted men are accepted in prayer—for this prayer is placed on record.

From Babel to Japan

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:9

Apparently, on their trek from Babel, the group that became the East Asian Orientals branched into Japan in 3 waves. They also mated with Neanderthals and Denisovans (simply another developed

species of humans) along the trek. It also seems that the Neanderthals and Denisovans had developed genetic defects early on and passed them on into the populations they came into contact with.
It may be that a very small groupings of humans developed some serious defects in their genome very early on as they spread out resulting in the differences we know as Neanderthals and Denisovans. This in turn led to them spanning out from others early on in different directions, keeping to themselves until bumping again into the dominate human lineage.

"Scientists analyzing the genomes of thousands of people across Japan discovered evidence for a previously overlooked third ancestral group, challenging the long-accepted “dual origins” theory. The newly identified ancestry appears linked to the ancient Emishi

people of northeastern Japan. Researchers also uncovered inherited
Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA.
The findings emerged from the JEWEL (Japanese Whole-genome sequencing Evaluation of Large-scale data) project, which produced high-depth genome sequences for participants sampled from prefectures across Japan.

For decades, scientists believed the Japanese population largely descended from two ancient groups: the Jomon hunter-gatherers who lived in the archipelago for thousands of years, and later migrants from East Asia who brought rice farming and new technologies to Japan.
But a major genetic analysis from researchers at RIKEN's Center for Integrative Medical Sciences suggests the picture is far more

complicated.
Using whole-genome sequencing on more than 3,200 people from across Japan, the team found evidence supporting a third ancestral group tied to northeastern Asia and possibly linked to the ancient Emishi people. The findings, published in Science Advances, add powerful support to the increasingly discussed "tripartite origins" theory of Japanese ancestry.

The discovery means that modern Japanese ancestry is not a blend of two source populations but three, each arriving in a distinct historical wave.
Those three clusters map onto distinct regions of the archipelago. One is centered on Okinawa and enriched in Jomon ancestry,

reflecting the deep heritage of the Ryukyu Islands. 

A second dominates western Japan, particularly the Kansai region around Osaka and Kyoto, and carries a stronger signal of continental migration. 

The third, the new finding, is concentrated in the Tohoku region of northeastern Honshu. It does not collapse neatly into either the Jomon or the Yayoi category. Instead, it appears to represent a separate strand of ancestry with its own history.
The study also explored genetic material inherited from Neanderthals and Denisovans, two ancient human groups that interbred with Homo sapiens.

Scientists have become increasingly interested in why some of these ancient DNA fragments survived in modern humans while others disappeared. In many cases, the inherited genes appear linked to health, adaptation, or disease risk.

The Japanese genome study identified 44 archaic DNA regions still present in modern Japanese populations, many of them unique to East Asians. 

One Denisovan-derived region inside the NKX6-1 gene was associated with type 2 diabetes and may influence how some patients respond to semaglutide treatments.
Researchers also found 11 Neanderthal-derived genetic segments connected to conditions including coronary artery disease, prostate cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Creation Moment 5/20/2026 - More "secrets in the natural world.... beyond our imagination"

And though I ...and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; ... and have not LOVE, I am nothing. 

1 Corinthians 13:2

"The system under observation portrays a sequence of changes and energy transformations that cannot be attributed to among the existing mathematical frameworks in physics. 

Scientists observed that the elements in this configuration do not give

up kinetic energy to the surrounding environment and this aspects go against various fundamental principles. The absence of friction or resistance implies an efficiency previously believed to be impossible in a natural system theoretically.

On a subatomic scale, the system seems to violate the classical laws of quantum entanglement and probability distribution governing small scale particles. Viewers discovered that single units of the system are in a fixed state whether they are observed or perturbed by the magnetic fields.

When this system is perceived biologically, it disregards the normal evolutionary mechanisms and cell metabolic limit that normally occurs in organic life. The building can be highly organized without the need of having a traditional source of nutrients and without apparently disposing the waste products of the metabolic process. This has made some biologists wonder whether the system is not an entirely different line of physical existence or not.

The most outrageous of the discovery is how the system forms and accumulates internal power without any visible source of fuel or any external input. It has been measured that the energy of the system is constant at a long time scale, which appears in violation of the law of entropy. This implies that there might be a self-sustaining cycle of operation which works on much different logic than we are aware of in generation of power.

The physical composition of the system comprises of materials that are not supposed to logically exist in any stable form in the present atmospheric condition. Analysis reveals a molecular structure, which is extraordinarily flexible as well as virtually indestructible, withstanding very high pressure as well as heat, which would normally result in a complex meltdown. This structural resilience indicates a manufacturing or natural formation process that makes use of unknown methods of chemical bonding.

The observation period data logs show that the internal clock of the system is not operating at the same rate as the surrounding world. Time is perceived to stretch in the immediate adjacency of the system, and generates a calculated delay in timing synchrony with external lab apparatus. This time warp gives a clue to a regionalized alteration of gravity or space-time that is so far, unattainable by science in an experimental setup.

The scientists found that the different systems are synchronizing their activities without radio waves or bursts of light over distances in real-time. This has been achieved through an instant synchronization thereby implying a non-local approach of data transfer, which happens faster than light speed. This ability is too good to be true as far as general relativity is concerned and leads to novel theories of universal connectivity.

Although the system itself seems chaotic to the naked eye, it has

been demonstrated through sophisticated computer simulation that a highly hidden mathematical sequence repeats exactly with spooky accuracy. This pattern is not corresponding to Fibonacci spiral or any other standard geometric patterns of growth prevalent in the natural world. Rather, it has a multi-dimensional logic which must be beautifully mapped out by entirely new branches of mathematics.

Should we ever be lucky enough to recreate the mechanics of this strange discovery, we could easily be setting in a new age of efficiency in all human infrastructure. 

The discovery, at least in the meantime, is a modest reminder of the fact that there are still secrets in the natural world which are beyond our imagination."

Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 101

"Psalm 101:

This psalm describes the perfect king.

This Davidic psalm expresses the righteous commitments of the mediatorial king (David), to his eternal king (the LORD), in regard
to:
(1) His own personal life and;
(2) The lives of those who inhabit the kingdom.

Possible, this psalm was used later at the coronations of future kings over Israel.
Ultimately, only King Jesus would perfectly fulfill these holy resolutions.

I. Personal Life of the King (101:1-4).
II. Personal Outcome of Kingdom Inhabitants (101:5-8).
A. The Just (101:6);
B. The Unjust (101:5, 7-8).

Psalm 101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing.

Psalm 101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when
wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

David is asking God to come and fellowship with him in his home.

We should not be two people.

We should be the same in public and at home.

Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Neither character assassination nor pride will be tolerated in the kingdom. David is trying to pattern his life according to the life of his LORD."

ARCHAEOLOGY: From Babel to the Arabian Peninsula

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Genesis 11:9
Apparently these were, likely the first settlers from Babel into the Arabian Peninsula, who plopped down and engineered an organized society. Long enough ago that by the time they abandoned it, it was before the written record had entered the Arabian peninsula for they were completely forgotten. Seems that they may have dispersed due to volcanic activity of some kind plaguing the area.

"In the middle of Saudi Arabia’s black volcanic fields, archaeologists found something extraordinary—hundreds of mysterious stone

formations stretching for miles. The locals once called this region the “Gates of Hell,” but what they uncovered might rewrite early human history.
Across the scorched lava plains of Harrat Khaybar, walls built from jagged black rock stand defiant. These ancient barriers twist and turn over the uneven ground, their purpose long forgotten......whispering stories from a prehistoric world.

When researchers first examined the region through satellite imaging, they spotted an astonishing sight—over four hundred geometric outlines scattered across miles of volcanic plains.

Some stones were stacked in deliberate patterns to form smooth internal pathways. These details indicate careful planning and a strong architectural tradition, not random piles left by nature or chance.
Many sit along ancient animal migration routes and water channels. Archaeologists believe early inhabitants designed them to trap or perhaps even honor the creatures that sustained their survival across generations.

When traced by drone, some of the formations continued for astonishing distances. Thin stone lines snaked across the terrain like

ancient boundaries or paths. Their sheer length suggested a shared purpose connecting far-flung communities across the barren expanse.
Their straight lines and precise construction puzzled experts. Who would build something so vast in such a barren, unforgiving region—and more importantly, why?

Each “Gate” followed deliberate alignments, often perfectly straight or evenly spaced. The uniformity surprised surveyors who realized the builders had achieved geometric balance without modern instruments—a feat hinting at both intelligence and shared knowledge.
Across an area roughly the size of Connecticut, researchers documented hundreds of stone circles and gates. Their density suggests a large, interconnected network of Neolithic settlements. What seems like wilderness today may once have been a bustling region of trade and ceremony.

Excavations across the lava fields of Harrat Khaybar revealed more than desolate rock. Hidden beneath layers of volcanic debris were tools and fragments of ancient settlements.
Among the gates and kites, circular “bullseye” shapes drew particular fascination. Perfectly rounded and centered, they didn’t match hunting layouts or dwellings. Some researchers believe they may

have served ritual or astronomical purposes tied to seasonal changes or migration cycles.

Centuries of volcanic activity turned out to be an unlikely ally to archaeology. As molten basalt cooled, it hardened into a natural vault around the stone gates, locking them in place. This shield preserved walls and pathways that would’ve eroded elsewhere long ago.
With almost no rainfall or vegetation to disrupt the terrain, the structures remained untouched for thousands of years. The arid stillness allowed modern researchers to view the ancient site nearly as its builders left it.
Several formations lay partially hidden beneath cooled lava flows, which suggested that later eruptions buried earlier settlements."

Creation Moment 5/19/2026 - What students are Taught / not Taught about Fossil Record

....because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

1 John 4:1

"Students are taught that the fossil record shows a clear progression of life, supported by “transitional fossils” such as Tiktaalik and Archaeopteryx.

What’s not emphasized though is how much is missing. For example, complex multicellular animals appear abruptly in the Cambrian Explosion—already equipped with advanced systems like nervous, digestive, and sensory structures, functioning at high levels. That’s not a small gap—it’s a massive one.

Other major groups—birds, whales, bats, and flowering plants—also appear in the fossil record with limited or contested transitional forms. “Living fossils,” showing little change over long periods, are rarely discussed. Even Charles Darwin acknowledged this challenge, calling it one of the most serious objections to his theory.

Rather than focusing on these gaps, students are often left with the impression that they have been—or will soon be—filled."

What does the "Lord Jesus Christ" mean?

"We just read in the book of Acts 20:21

repentance towards
God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

We have three words. Lord, Jesus, and Christ.

Lord means someone who has authority over you.
Many of us want Christ to be a savior but not a lord.
As a lord, He tells us how to live.
We want Him as a savior, not as a lord.
And so we say, "I have given my life to you, Jesus. Don't tell me how to......I'll decide that."
But Jesus must be Lord.

And so faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus. Q: What does that mean?
A: Savior.
In Matthew 1:21, the angel told Joseph, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people."
Jesus means savior, one who saves, one who has salvation.
Lord means someone who rules and commands and has authority.

Now Christ means anointed - chosen which mean there's only one person who can save that person is Jesus.

His name is not Jesus Christ.

His name is Jesus.

Christ is His work."

Creation Moment 5/18/2026 - The "exquisitely ordered" sense of smell

Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psalm 139:14 NLT

"A spatial code governs olfactory receptor choice and aligns sensory maps in the nose and brain (Brann et al., Cell Press, 28 April 2026). Researchers created a detailed diagram of smell receptors in the nose that fills in missing details of how olfaction works.

In this paper, researchers Brann and colleagues made a groundbreaking discovery that overturned decades of assumptions that the neurons carrying olfactory receptors were randomly distributed. The press release from Harvard Medical School, reproduced at ScienceDaily, describes the discovery in the following way:

“By mapping millions of neurons in mice, researchers discovered that smell receptors in the nose aren’t random at all—they’re arranged in neat, overlapping stripes based on receptor type, forming a hidden structure scientists never knew existed. Even more striking, this layout mirrors how smell information is mapped in the brain, revealing a coordinated system from nose to neural circuits.

What they found challenges long-standing assumptions. Instead of being randomly distributed, the neurons that carry these receptors are highly organized. They form horizontal bands, or stripes, running from the top of the nose to the bottom,

 grouped by receptor type.”

This well organized and structured olfactory system now joins the list of other sensory organs (for vision, hearing, and touch) where receptor maps have been charted as highly organized, and also testifies as yet another example of something thought to be random now being revealed as exquisitely ordered.

From a Biblical creationist perspective, though, this discovery is not surprising."

IN the NEWS - Science says BIBLE INTERCONNECTED ("extraordinary coordination")

"A vast network of more than 63,000 connections woven throughout the Bible is drawing renewed attention from believers, with some arguing the intricate links point to divine authorship.

The connections, identified by a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University and a Lutheran pastor in Germany, stretch across all 66 books of scripture, linking people, events and themes scattered throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Researchers transformed these connections into a visualization that lays out every chapter from Genesis to Revelation along a single line. Each vertical bar represents a chapter, with taller bars marking sections that contain more verses.
Thousands of curved lines stretch between books to link related passages, with darker lines highlighting verses that share the greatest number of connections. The arcs form a rainbow-like pattern that visually reveals how extensively the Bible is woven together from beginning to end.

One example ties Genesis 2:9, which describes the Tree of Life in Eden, to Revelation 22:2, where the symbol reappears in the Bible's final vision of paradise.
Another connects Exodus 12, describing the Passover lamb, to John 1:29, where Jesus is referred to as the 'Lamb of God.'
Isaiah 53, which describes a suffering servant wounded for others, cross-referenced with John 19, detailing the crucifixion of Jesus.
The crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 14 is repeatedly referenced in Hebrews 11, linking early accounts of deliverance to later teachings on faith.
Numbers 21:9, which describes Moses raising a bronze serpent, is later linked to John 3:14, where the act is compared to Jesus being lifted.
The network spans books believed to have been written by more than 40 authors over roughly 1,500 years. It also bridges three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, and three languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

The project, which identified 63,779 connections, combined religious scholarship with modern data analysis to transform centuries of textual study into a structured dataset revealing thousands of relationships between verses.
These cross-references are connections between passages that share similar themes, references, people, or locations, many of which traditionally appear in the margins of printed study Bibles.
Each of the cross-references represents a conceptual link between two separate passages.

The project aimed to do more than simply catalog these references; it sought to reveal the depth and complexity of scripture in a visually striking format that could be understood at both broad and detailed levels.
**Each connection between verses is represented by a curved line linking related passages across different sections of the text. 

**The color of each line reflects the distance between chapters, creating a sweeping rainbow-like pattern that visually demonstrates the scope of cross-references throughout scripture.

Supporters of the project said the sheer density of connections

highlights what they view as remarkable internal consistency across books written by multiple authors over long periods of time.
Some theologians and believers argued that the discovery of tens of thousands of interconnected references strengthens the case for divine inspiration.
They pointed out that maintaining thematic unity across such a vast text would have required extraordinary coordination, especially considering that many Biblical books were composed generations apart."

Creation Moment 5/16/2026 - Faster than the Speed of Light?

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and 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

"The speed of light, measured at 299,792,458 meters per second, is widely considered the ultimate cosmic limit. According to physics, this boundary applies strictly to anything carrying mass or information. In other words, particles and signals are constrained by this rule, but phenomena without mass or informational content exist outside this restriction.

Darkness is often misunderstood as a physical entity, when in reality it is simply the absence of light, meaning it contains no photons, mass, or data. Because of this, it does not follow the same limitations as matter or energy, opening the possibility that it can behave in ways that seem to exceed known physical boundaries.

Instead of attempting to measure darkness directly, researchers focused on what are known as dark points within light waves. 

These are tiny regions where the wave’s amplitude drops to zero, effectively creating pockets of complete darkness embedded within a field of light, making them ideal for observation and analysis.

These dark points are also referred to as optical singularities, areas where the properties of light become undefined or extreme. Scientists have long theorized that these singularities could move at speeds exceeding that of light, particularly during moments when they appear or disappear within a wave.

The behavior of these singularities can be compared to vortices in a flowing river, where certain points move differently from the overall current. In a similar way, dark points can travel through a light wave at speeds that outpace the wave itself, creating what is described as superluminal motion.

By analyzing these slowed-down light waves, researchers confirmed that dark points can indeed move faster than light itself. This does not involve physical objects breaking the speed limit, but rather patterns within waves exhibiting motion that exceeds it under specific conditions."
