Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 93

"Psalm 93:
This second psalm of the divine kingdom, speaks prophetically of the

time when the Lord will rule on the earth in the person of the Messiah.
Nothing is more powerful than the Lord; nothing is more steadfast than His reign, nothing is more sure than His revelation.

I. The Lord’s Universal Kingdom (93:1-4).
A. Over the Earth (93:1-2);
B. Over the Sea (93:3-4).
II. The Lord’s Authoritative Revelation (93:5). The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.

Psalm 93:1 The LORD reigneth, He is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, [wherewith] He hath girded Himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Psalm 93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old: Thou [art] from everlasting.
Psalm 93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
Psalm 93:4 The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.

Psalm 93:5 

Thy testimonies are very sure: 

holiness becometh Thine house, O LORD, for ever."

The spirit behind Marx

Wherefore by their fruits 

ye shall know them. 

Matthew 7:20

Q: What was the fruit of Marx?
A: Nearly 100,000,000 body bags filled globally the last century.

"Robert Payne was a British academic .... he did a couple did several works on Marx late 60s early 1970s....was really the first one to mine Marx's poetry and it's deeply disturbing stuff--it a lot of it is about the devil-- quite literally about the devil it's chilling:

"Heaven I forfeited I Know It full well my heart once true to God is chosen for hell."....straight Lucifer from from Milton 1837 and it was
1841 and here he puts himself it appears in the form of this kind of

mad violinist who's like frenetically maniacally sawing away at the violin and he's summoning up the powers of Darkness and he's doing this in front of his love interest and the love interest yeah right and the love interest.

Robert Payne says appears to be his girl at the time Jenny the girl that he would that he would end up marrying and he's summoning up the powers of darkness and she's saying why are you doing this to him it's here's he stands up and tells the girl:

"Look now my blood Dark

Sword shall stab unerringly within thy Soul 

the hellish Vapors rise and fill the brain 

till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed 

see the sword the Prince of Darkness sold it to me 

for he beats the time and gives the signs

 ever more boldly I play the dance of death."

Robert Payne says picture Marx standing there in the middle of a burned down Village, burnt down house, building and Flames all around him you know everything that exists deserves to perish and as if to say now we can begin right he wants to take everything.

The Communist may be summed up in the single sentence abolition of private property --- so that's gone, in the manifesto they write abolition of the family exclamation mark even the most radical flare up of this Infamous proposal of the Communists.

Marx of the six kids he and Jenny had four of them died before they did. 

*Then the two girls that survived both committed suicide in suicide packs with their husbands and by drinking poison and as you noticed in the Marx's poetry a recurring theme in all of his poetry is about the couples coming together the one the pale Maiden which sounds like a late night be movie horror flick. 

This pale Maiden drinks Hemlock she commits suicide -- lovers committing suicide and suicide packs. That's how Marx's two daughters died.

The Communist Manifesto is kind of a Diatribe. 

There's a lot of anger in there.
The only part of the end of the Communist Manifesto anybody
remembers is "workers of the world unite".

But if you just go back one paragraph at the end right the Communists support every revolutionary movement and the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions.

Marx was obsessed with these ideas of conjuring up the underworld despite his professed atheism .... by the way even the phrase "each according to his ability to according to his needs" that's a twisting of the scripture of the New Testament.

Alinsky in the intro to Rules for Radicals lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgement to that first of all Rebels who won himself his own kingdom ....you don't walk by that sort of statement accidentally. 

These are the same people who think that Milton's Lucifer is a hero and give their magazines names like the Jacobin. 

Q: Why would you name your magazine after a group that guillotined 40,000 people in France in 1793 and 1794?

Lucifer is an usurper. He's the spirit that wants to over throw everything and put himself at the top.

Dr. Bruno Bauer, University of Bonn, he was a professor of theology who was an atheist...he's eventually run out of the University but he and Marx became very tight....for Palm Sunday they rode in on donkeys together kind of mocking the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem so they're imitating or mocking Christ entering Jerusalem. 

They would go into churches together he and Bruno Bauer and laugh and kind of make noise in the Pew just to be disrespectful. 

So he's angry and throughout his life no one liked him.

War I and World War II combined so that ideology was pretty hellacious to say the least. It's very naive not to assume that the events that we described in Marx's life are not connected to his economic policies. ... calling on Dark Forces obviously so because otherwise they wouldn't have compelled people in that manner especially not toward the that sort of immense sadistic murderousness and utter destructiveness and of course get to the

hatred of God which all the Communists did so all the Communists thereafter seek to ban religion. They're not exactly atheists because they're trying to stomp something out. It's not just a neutrality. 

It is militant aggressive atheism. Trotsky and Lenin create the league of the militant Godless. They ban religion, they have the Moscow Church trials, they blow up churches, they jail priests. 

Lenin said all worship of a Divinity is a necrophilia. There is nothing more abominable than religion so they don't just try to stop religion.

What the Communists did to the religious Enterprise is evidence of something far more militant than a mere atheism.

Analyzing the history of Stalinist Soviet Union including the Leninist
period what you see fundamentally is a celebration of sadistic Devastation that's the fundamental goal -- the flag waving about the new Utopia that's going to be created.

Christ says them man does not live on bread alone but the Marxists actually acts as if man does live on bread precisely. They believe that if you solve the economic problem if you solve the class problem."

Creation Moment 5/11/2026 - WATER

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 

Isaiah 55:10

“The one substance, water, is uniquely fit to serve two utterly different vital ends—ends as different as can be conceived: the erosion of rock and the circulation of the blood. 

Both are absolutely vital to our existence. 

No other substance in nature comes close to having the essential set of properties needed to do these two jobs.

....the formation of the Earth itself, formation of the oceans, climate moderation and the hydrological cycle, tectonic plate movement,

continent formation, and photosynthesis. 

The unique properties of water are also needed to make soil, cool the human body, fold proteins, and form cell membranes. 

Water enables phenomena and processes that unfold on vastly different spatial and temporal scales, from thousands of kilometers and millions of years down to nanometers and milliseconds."

Refuting Hitler

"In recent weeks, AI-generated translations of Hitler’s speeches have

gone viral, reaching millions around the world.
People are hearing Hitler’s words in their own language for the first time.
The National Socialists, racists and Social Darwinists, treat us like cattle, or breeds of dogs.
And the idea of ‘race’ itself is a social idea - it comes from Social Darwinism.

The policy wasn’t “privatization”; it was “Gleichschaltung” - forced synchronization, which is a nationalization of all businesses and social groups. 

Heavy social regulations impacted every industry, price controls were imposed on every good and service, there was a central

distribution of goods, and central planning boards for coal, textiles, timber, batteries, paper and steel - amongst many others. The beekeeping and bowling clubs, the canary breeders and the stamp collectors, the youth organizations, the yacht clubs, the media, the economy, the schools, the trade unions, the police - everything
was synchronized with the state, nationalized by the state, socialized by the state.

What the National Socialists do is deny our humanity - 

deny our ability to think. 

Yes, you might be born into a certain family that has held certain beliefs, and you might even have grown up to embrace those beliefs. 

But the fact you have a brain, and the fact that you could use that

brain to grow and learn, means that you have the potential to change those beliefs. (I’m not saying you ‘should’ change those beliefs, but that you ‘could’ if those beliefs turned out to be wrong.) 

And so, yes, you ‘could’ fall into a certain belief system, or a certain culture, a religion, or ideology… but that doesn’t mean you will necessarily stay there.
Therefore, saying that someone is pre-determined to act in a certain way because they came from a certain background, nation, race, gender or whatever, isn’t correct because it denies the one thing that makes us human - our minds. 

National Socialists deny our humanity and lower us to the level of dogs and cattle. And so, if you are human, and if you use your brain, then you are not a breed of dog, you are not a type of cattle, and you are not your skin color. 

(So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; ... Genesis 1:27)

You are not an animal, you are not a race - 

you are a human, 

and therefore, 

an individual."

Who was Hitler's "god"?

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:3

"Hitler uses the word “Providence” for God over 500 times in his

speeches, and invokes the “Almighty”.
....they had a ‘race pope’ (Hans Günter), who wrote about the ‘Nordic Race’; they wanted to purify the ‘blood’, by which they meant ‘spirit’ or the soul (the blood is the spirit, and the spirit is the blood);
Q: But the answer to one question eluded us: which specific God did Hitler worship?

A: Well, it turns out that all we had to do was go back to the origins

of the National Socialist movement to find our answer. Rudolf Jung was the first National Socialist to write a book on the movement, publishing it in 1919 - six years before Mein Kampf.
Rudolf Jung not only outlines the very early history of the National Socialist movement, but he also straight-up tells us which God they worshipped.

“Let us quietly leave the desert god Yahweh, that spirit of destruction, to the Jews; ours is called the All-Father!”

I cannot emphasize how important this sentence is.
But who is the “All-Father”? Well, it’s Odin.

“Odin – the one-eyed All-Father. Odin has many names and is the god of both war and death.”

Let’s just first understand who Odin was:

“[As] dramatically retold in the [Eddaic] poem The Song of the High One (Havamal), [Odin] "sacrificed himself to himself" by hanging from the great tree at the center of the cosmos for nine days and nights, foregoing all food and water and peering relentlessly downward into the dark waters of the Well of Fate below, until at last he obtained the object of his ordeal.”

...Odin was willing to undergo any trial in order to gain more knowledge of the innermost workings of the universe. (That’s probably gnosticism.)
And Odin was also the God of death:

“One of his particular magical specialities was necromancy… During earlier times, the Roman writers even identified him with Mercury, the Roman god who ferried the spirits of the newly dead to the underworld, rather than Mars, the god of war.”

Odin is, therefore, primarily the God of death, but also of war. And the Swastika is associated with him. Now, I’ve said before that I couldn’t understand why they chose the right-handed version of the Swastika, rather than the left-handed version. 

This was a mystery --- Well, now that we know it’s Odin (the God of war and death), it makes perfect sense.
In May 1919 Krohn wrote a memorandum [...] in which he proposed the left-handed swastika (i.e. clockwise in common with those of the theosophists and the Germanenorden) as the symbol of the DAP. He evidently preferred the sign in this direction on account of its Buddhistical interpretation as a talisman of fortune and health,
whereas its right-handed (i.e. anti-clockwise) counterpart betokened decline and death.

Hitler insisted that the National Socialist Swastika be right-handed,

which would symbolize ‘decline and death’. Odin is the God of death, and Rudolf Jung confirms that the National Socialist God is Odin. So it makes perfect sense why Hitler chose the right-handed version of the Swastika: it represented his God. The Swastika is Odin’s symbol.

Jost Turner and his NS Kindred, which celebrates Odin as a master of mysteries in a devotional cult of Aryan mysticism with meditation and yoga;

Odin is associated with war, and boasts in one Eddic poem: “I incited the princes never to make peace”... which could go some way to explaining why Hitler never made peace either.

Jung coined the slogan "Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz" (common good comes before self-interest). This would become a central tenet of Nazi ideology."

Creation Moment 5/10/2026 - Evolution of the gaps

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,... 

Romans 1:22

"Evolution Before the Origin of Life? (Dyna Rochmyaningsih, John Templeton Foundation, 16 April 2026), Led by mineralogist Robert Hazen and proponents of the Law of Evolving Systems, this framework seeks to dissolve the traditional boundary between biology and geology.
This is not a sudden tactical shift, but rather a consistent application of evolutionary theory in light of the persistent difficulty of the origin-of-life problem. The argument is straightforward: if the transition from chemistry to biology remains elusive, the theory must expand to absorb the chemistry itself.
This is not novel. It was inevitable.

The persistent failure of prebiotic chemistry to provide a mechanistic bridge to life has traditionally been treated as a simple “gap” in our knowledge. 

However, as Koonin’s selfish ribosome paper, and Robert Hazen’s law of evolving systems in this article demonstrate, these gaps are increasingly filled with a new kind of metaphysical mortar. 

The article explains:

"Hazen is one of many scientists who are now proponents of ‘evolution before life,’ an idea referring to a universal chemical evolution that spans billions of years and comprises all possible space in the universe."

This is an evolution of the gaps: where empirical mechanisms (like replication and metabolism) are absent, the totalizing narrative expands to cover the mystery."

Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 91

"Psalm 91:
The key word to describe this psalm is security.

I. The Lord’s Protection (91:1-13).

A. The Confidence (91:1-2);
B. The Dangers (91:3-6)
C. The Examples (91:7-13).
II. The Lord’s Pledge (91:14-16).

Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
“The shadow of the Almighty”:
In a land where the sun can be oppressive and dangerous, a “shadow” was understood as a metaphor for care and protection.
Into the secret place those only come who know the love of God in Christ Jesus. To them the veil is rent, the mercy seat is revealed, the covering cherubs are manifest, and the awful glory of the Most High is apparent:

Psalm 91:4 He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
Psalm 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
The reward of the righteous is eternal life in heaven.
The reward of the wicked is the lake of fire.

Psalm 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the Most High, thy habitation;
Psalm 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Not one guardian angel, as some fondly dream, but all the angels are

here alluded to. They are the bodyguard of the princes of the blood imperial of heaven, and they have received commission from their Lord and ours to watch carefully over all the interests of the faithful.
Hebrews 1:13-14 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"

Creation Moment 5/9/2026 - Your Fast Motors

"ATP synthase---This is a set of individual proteins that are assembled to manufacture the energy storage substance that powers your body—ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Think of ATP like the gasoline that powers your car. The ATP synthase enzyme works like a tiny electric motor. It makes the ATP ‘fuel’, molecule by molecule, by adding a phosphate group to another molecule, ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP has a higher energy content than ADP, so the conversion requires energy. 

This stored energy within ATP can, when needed, 

be released to fuel various biological processes; 

to do this, the ATP fuel is ‘burned’ by hydrolyzing it (breaking it down with a water molecule) back to ADP. 

This ADP can be ‘recharged’ 

by the ATP synthase motor back to ATP.

ATP synthase motors are found in every living thing, and ATP is required as the source of stored energy for all cellular processes. This is so, whether the energy initially comes from burning carbohydrates, photosynthesis, or, in the case of some bacteria, breaking down certain chemicals found in their environment.

The amount of ATP needed to power an organism is huge; active

people make—then use—their own body weight of ATP every day. So cells need very large numbers of these magnificent machines.

In bacteria, the ATP synthase is mostly found in the cell membrane. In eukaryotes (creatures which, unlike bacteria, have a cell nucleus—e.g., animals, plants, and fungi), ATP synthase is found within special organelles (like mini-organs in the cell). These are called mitochondria. In plants, and other eukaryotes which use sunshine for growth, ATP synthase is found not only in mitochondria, but also in other organelles called chloroplasts.

A 70-kg man has 3 trillion cells with mitochondria (not counting gut bacteria). Most cell types can have hundreds, if not more, mitochondria per cell. So we are already at hundreds of trillions of mitochondria, each of which has thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of these machines in it. So, though not all are active at the same time, it seems that the number of ATP synthase machines in our body is in the order of hundreds of quadrillions!

In 2005, this amazing machine from a strain of bacteria called Bacillus sp. PS3 was studied in great detail. It was discovered that part of it, termed FOF1, had a maximum speed of about 350 revolutions per second (rps) at 37 °C (99 °F)—about 21,000 rpm. At 45 °C (113 °F) it reached 39,000 rpm. The researchers extrapolated that at 60 °C (140 °F)—an optimum growth temperature for this bacterium—the maximum speed would be a whopping 96,000 rpm!

These staggering speeds rival modern sophisticated man-made cars and aeroplanes. When the Swedish-built 5.1 L (309 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 Koenigsegg Jesko was built in 2021, it was said to be the fastest-revving production car ever. Yet it ‘redlines’ at 8,500

rpm. The turbine engine in the Boeing 737 MAX spins at up to 20,500 rpm.

A succession of the world’s best engineers and scientists have been designing car engines for over 150 years. Yet modern car internal combustion engines have maximum rotation speeds much less than that of the ATP synthase in a ‘simple’ bacterium.

All of this points to a super-intelligent cosmic designer being responsible for the ATP synthase in all life.

It’s easy to see the design of ATP synthase as evidence of our Creator, Jesus Christ the Son of God, “Who is the image of the invisible God … all things were created by Him, and for Him” (Colossians 1:15–16)."

Creation Moment 5/8/2026 - PGRs

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. Isaiah 45:8

"Programmed genome rearrangements (PGRs) are deliberate, genetically controlled changes in an organism’s DNA sequence and

chromosome structure that occur during normal development or in response to detecting changes in environmental conditions. 

These PGRs range from single bases to genes to even large genomic regions. They are precisely orchestrated modifications that involve deletions, inversions, duplications, translocations, sequence reductions, or sequence amplifications.

These are part of an engineered biological program, 

not random-chance occurrences, 

and defy the untenable evolutionary concept of random genetic mistakes that are worked on by a mystical selective agent. 

Creatures are engineered with the innate ability 

---to closely track environmental changes 

---and adapt accordingly in targeted ways."

Creation Moment 5/7/2026 - Universal Temperature Law Reveals Life’s Divine Engineering

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee,... Isaiah 43:1

"Q: What if every living creature—from coral reefs and cold-water fish to mountain flowers and desert reptiles—followed the same hidden temperature rule? 

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin recently reported that all life seems to follow a single pattern called the universal thermal

performance curve. This curve shows how living things react as temperatures rise and fall. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that as the environment warms, performance improves up to a limit—then quickly drops when proteins and cell membranes start to fail. Many researchers viewed this as proof of nature’s self-organizing order. But when studied closely, it points to something deeper: life’s built-in precision and the clear mark of design.

Every living cell depends on chemical reactions powered by enzymes—tiny molecular machines that fold and move with perfect timing. These enzymes make reactions happen billions of times faster than they would on their own, but they work only within a narrow temperature range. Across thousands of species, the study found the same pattern: steady improvement, a sharp peak, and then a fast decline. 

This kind of order does not look random. 

It reveals a shared plan seen throughout all living things.

At the microscopic level, this pattern depends on balanced teamwork between enzymes, membranes, and energy systems. For example, fish that live in icy water keep their cell membranes flexible with special fats, while desert plants protect proteins with natural chemical shields. Even with such differences, the overall pattern stays the same. Each organism was designed with built-in safeguards that keep its systems stable and prevent damage when conditions change. Even the smallest bacterium follows this same plan—working within limits that reveal coordination, purpose, and control. Together, these patterns across all life forms point to an underlying design filled with wisdom and intent.

When the same feature appears in very different creatures—like the same temperature curve seen in both microbes and mammals—it points to one intelligent Designer using consistent engineering methods throughout creation. These design limits also act like

guardrails, keeping systems from breaking down. The Trinity researchers called them “shackles of evolution,” but engineers would see them as safety systems built in to protect stability and balance.

This idea of built-in limits fits the creation model, where living things were made to adapt only within certain boundaries, not to evolve beyond them. Humanity itself reflects the imago Dei—the image of the Creator’s order and wisdom, which can also be seen throughout biology. The same God who gave people the ability to think and create also designed every cell to balance complexity with control.

In every pattern and measurement, science continues to uncover planning and purpose far beyond human skill. These discoveries inspire wonder more than debate, showing that the reliability of creation points back to the reliability of its Maker. As scientists find more “laws of life,” they reveal the structure that holds creation together. The order seen in biology is not an accident—it is sustained by thoughtful design. Every curve, boundary, and limit reflects a Creator who made life to thrive within His perfect plan—stable, strong, and beautifully made."

For the beginning of an answer we may note, first, its witness to the possibility of unrelieved suffering as a believer’s earthly lot. The happy ending of most psalms of this kind is seen to be a bonus, not a due; its withholding is not a proof of either God’s displeasure or His defeat."

Creation Moment 5/6/2026 - An Introduction to Genetic Diversification

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

"One of the earliest scientists to make big strides in recognizing and understanding DNA variability was Gregor Mendel (1822–1884), an Austrian monk whose work inspired early twentieth-century studies in genetics. 

He observed certain flower and seed trait variations in the offspring of peas and other garden plants following his controlled matings. 

In some cases, a progressive continuum of flower color could be noticed in the offspring. In other cases, the traits segregated in seemingly predictable statistical outcomes. We now know these to be simple or qualitative traits controlled by a single gene—a very rare occurrence in nature.

These qualitative traits in pea plant flower color were due to a

changed pigmentation-related gene that produced white flowers (no pigment) rather than pigmented purple flowers. 

Because pea plants, like most animals, have two sets of chromosomes (one from the mother and the other from the father), even if a pea plant had only one good copy of a pigmentation gene, it could still produce purple flowers. If a plant had two copies of the altered gene, white flowers would result.

The key thing about Mendel’s work was that it demonstrated that genes or other chromosomal features could be shuffled around via matings in a population to create a diverse amount of variability. We also now know that nearly all traits in creatures, especially those that facilitate adaptation, are actually controlled by many genes and regulatory elements located across the genome at specific sites called loci (singular, locus). Genetic

differences between loci variants are called alleles.

The potential for trait variability can be quite large due to the many possible allele combinations contributing to a trait. These types of traits are called polygenic (controlled by many genes) or quantitative traits (as compared to qualitative). These polygenic loci or alleles are typically referred to as quantitative trait loci (QTL) and are all interconnected in complex gene regulatory networks. Each locus contributes to different levels of variability in the trait being studied.

Quantitative traits and QTLs can be characterized in two different ways. The original approach was to perform controlled matings of a plant or animal to create a large population of offspring. Each individual was then characterized for visible traits (phenotypes) and had its genome mapped with DNA markers. Traits associated with a specific set of alleles (marker-connected loci) are determined by statistically analyzing the percent variability they contribute to a certain trait.

As genome sequencing became more common and efficient, this mapping strategy was largely replaced and/or supplemented by sequencing the entire genome of a large sample (cohort) of individuals from a population. 

Traits of interest are then correlated with variations in genome sequence in what are called genome-wide association studies. 

In fact, it is now possible to do this with populations from multiple environments. The outcome of such studies reveals both the location and DNA sequence of alleles connected to a variety of traits in organisms inhabiting different environments."
