Digging Deep into That "Change" of Job 14
"Job says: "All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my
change comes" (Job 14:14).
This change is at the resurrection, for says Paul, "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet" (1 Cor. 15:51, 52).
Again says Job: "If I wait for the grave as my house, if I make my bed in the darkness, where then is my hope?" (Job 17:13-15).
Here it is: "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" (Job 19:25-27)."

Creation Moment 7/31/2020 - Evolutionary Worldview Simplified
I have seen the foolish taking root. Job 5:3
"Materialistic literature transports observers into a magical world where analytical principles that explain cause in man-made things inexplicably don’t apply to living things, and where invoking a mystical environmental volition to explain cause displaces everything engineers know about design.
The irony is that evolutionists insert these mystical elements into a theory that is supposed to explain life solely by the material properties of physics and chemistry."

SDA Issues: Sheeple of the World?
"Why are we as a church so quick to engage in activities that have nothing to do with the salvation of souls? If global elitists demand urgent action to combat climate change, the church also repeats those calls as well.
If Pope Francis calls the world to promote his ecological opinions (Laudato Si’), there we go again, actively participating in trying to save Mother Earth.
---There is no doctrine in the Bible about the environment other than worshiping the Creator on the day that commemorates His creation – the Seventh-day Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11).
---There is no biblical model for energy or climate policies.
---There is only one policy for Christians when it comes to our planet, and our problem is sin.
Both the “earth” (planet) and the works that are therein (lawlessness) will come to an end.
The priorities for God’s people must be found in His truth and morals (Three Angels’ Message).
The souls of men and women must be sanctified by God’s word (John 17:17); not by worldly political policies.
Healing comes from hearing and obeying God’s word (James 1:22); not by embracing false gods.
Q: Why would anyone replace our faith with the false hopes of a utopia here on earth?"

The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth … The earth shall reel (wobble) to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Deceived = Unprepared
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
"To be deceived with respect to the coming of the Lord and the end of the world is the worst possible deception; for to be so deceived is to be unprepared for that wonderful and all-decisive event, and so is to be taken unawares, and to be destroyed."

Creation Moment 7/30/2020 - Keeping It Real About Creation
"There are two fundamental questions:
Analogous modern deception manifests itself in false claims and beliefs about science. Science is a method—just a method. But it has been manipulated into a godless philosophy.
The rediscovery at the Reformation of the God of the Bible (the
true God) encouraged the view that, if God is the Supreme Mind, the Supreme Reasoner, then he must have created a rational world. --Mankind is made in God’s image, and therefore has the capacity to study the natural world around him and apply that knowledge, albeit his mind is now imperfect.
Of itself, there was nothing original about this, The Bible affirms that God created all things by his Wisdom—indeed, through his Son, who is the Logos.
Creation was through the Son of God, the Eternal Logos, who became man. It was by God’s spoken fiat (‘fia t’, Latin for ‘let it be’: ; Genesis 1:3).
It was ex nihilo, not from pre-existent matter. Matthew Henry, whose father Philip had been one of the ‘Westminster Divines’, took an unequivocal stand here. He wrote that:
--The universal character of the curse, the subjection of the whole universe to mataiotēs, ‘futility’, along with its future restoration, described as , is unambiguously affirmed by the apostle Paul (Romans 8:21).
--And the universal character of the Flood, which destroyed the whole World, is made unmistakably plain in Genesis (all the high mountains were covered to depth of fifteen cubits) and by Peter (, 2 Peter 3:6)."

Creation Moment 7/29/2020 - Fire
And he shook off the beast into the fire.... Acts 28:5
"All the unique elements of fitness in nature for fire and the
development of technology would be of no avail without rocky planets of the right size, like the Earth.
If a planet is to possess the necessary stable hydrosphere and atmosphere fit for life it must be of approximately the size and mass and possess a gravitational field very close to that of the Earth.
----Its gravity must be strong enough to retain permanently the heavier gaseous elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, but weak enough to permit the initial loss of the lighter volatile elements such as hydrogen and helium.
----Only on planets of similar mass and size to the Earth’s could there exist an atmosphere containing sufficient quantities of oxygen to sustain fire.
*Earth’s size and mass are coincidentally fit both for the design of a bipedal animal of the dimensions of a man capable of exploiting fire and for providing the right atmosphere to support combustion and respiration."

SDA News- How NOT to be an Adventist
Are we really trying to reach every person on earth with the everlasting gospel in the context of Revelation 14:6-12? .... 6,000 people gathered at the Pope John Paul II Greek Theater in the Agnesi Park of San Martin, Mendoza Province, Argentina, to celebrate the start of the 2020 National Harvest Festival and the Blessings of the Fruits.
In addition to the “invocation of God” during what the media describes as a “big party,” more than 100 dancers performed different styles of dance, from contemporary to traditional.
Thousands come together every year during this event to give thanks to the earth.
Not only is pantheism being embraced and celebrated at this event, but we also see a union of the Babylonian family described in the book of Revelation. Government leaders (“kings of the earth” Revelation 18:9), business leaders (“merchants of the earth” Revelation 18:11) and religious leaders representing Christianity and paganism (“Harlot and daughters” Revelation 17:5) are coming together to embrace spiritualism.
The Earth Harvest 2020 event culminated in a great worship service in which Roman Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, Evangelicals and pagan religions gave their blessings in accordance with their respective beliefs.

Creation Moment 7/28/2020 - TIME (as we know it) SIMPLIFIED
"Time is actually a created entity. The first verse of the Bible reads: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth” (Genesis 1:1).
A study of this verse reveals that God created time, space, and matter on the first day of Creation Week.
No one of these can have a meaningful existence without the others. God created the space-mass-time universe.
Space and matter must exist in time, and time requires space and matter.
Time is only meaningful if physical entities exist and events transpire during time.
“In the beginning . . .” is when time began! There was no time before time was created!
In Psalm 90:2 we read: “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”
Q: So what was “before” creation?
A: God existing from everlasting to everlasting—God existing in eternity."

Mary & spirit of antichrist
"The homage, which the Catholic Church pays to the Virgin Mary, is one of the most pernicious phases of the spirit of antichrist. .... but those who are familiar with the facts know that the honor and worship, which should be given to Christ alone, are by them given the Virgin Mary, and Christ is virtually ignored.
But this worship of the Virgin Mary, and of the saints and martyrs, which detracts from the honor due to Christ, springs solely from the doctrine of the natural immortality of man;
--for if they did not hold that human beings are by nature possessed of the immortality which actually belongs to God alone,
--they could not give to those human beings, after death, the worship which is due to God.
The reader will know, therefore, that every quotation made from “The Glories of Mary,” is the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. On page 19 we find the following: —
“If the assertion is true and incontrovertible, as I believe it to be, and as I shall prove in the fifth chapter of this book, that all graces are dispensed by the hand of Mary alone, and that all those who are saved, are saved solely by the hand of this divine mother, it may be said as a necessary consequence, that the salvation of all depends upon preaching Mary, and confidence in her intercession.”
Q: If this is not antichrist, can anyone tell what would be?

Q: If this is not antichrist, can anyone tell what would be?
Q: When the Catholic Church teaches that “all those who are saved, are saved solely by the hand of this divine mother,” what room is left for Christ?"

Matthew 24's "Tribulation of Those Days"
"What shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the world? (Matthew 24:3)
But first He tells definitely the time when the signs would begin to
appear, so that those who would intelligently look for His coming could know when to expect the signs, and as a consequence know that His coming and the end were near. Thus He says,
Immediately after the tribulation of those days......there shall be signs. (Matthew 24:29)
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days. (Mark 13:19-20)
---They are the days during which the power symbolized by the “little horn” of Daniel 7, “made war with the saints, and prevailed against them,” and wore them out. (Daniel 7:8, 20-22, 25).
---They are the days in which death, on his pale horse, rode prosperously, with hell following with him, while he killed “with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth” those who must be “slain for the Word of God and the testimony which they held.” (Revelation 6:8-9).
---They are the days in which that woman Jezebel, “Babylon the great, the mother of harlots, and abominations of the earth,” used her terrible power so astonishingly that she was “drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” (Revelation 2:19; 17:3-6).
Thus those days are the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal supremacy, which began in A.D. 538, at the rooting up of the last of the three kingdoms mentioned in Daniel 7:8, 20, 24, and ended in A.D. 1798, when the papal government was abolished in Rome.
And “the tribulation of those days” is the terrible persecution inflicted by the Papacy and certified in the history of the Dark Ages."

IN the NEWS - From Hurricanes to "Aliens"?
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:25
Hurricanes in and of themselves are not a sign of the end times.
We've had hurricanes throughout history.
Rather the amount during this time--and the fodder they provide for the eco-fascists to falsely claim it's due to "climate change" is what to keep an eye on in the big picture of events....as they clamor for reducing our so-called "carbon footprint" --some in the recent past have pushed for setting aside a day to let mother earth "rest"--Pope Francis included.
"The once-covert UFO unit, which operates within the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Intelligence, will soon begin giving regular biannual updates on its research to the U.S. Senate’s Intelligence Committee, reports The New York Times.
Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official who headed the Pentagon program, resigned in October 2017 after a decade with the program.
Elizondo, along with a group of former government scientists and officials, remain convinced that objects of unkown origin have crashed on Earth and that these apparently extraterrestrial materials have been the focus of research.
However, some of the retrieved objects such as strange metallic debris were identified as being manmade – raising the possibility that they could be related to the military of U.S. rivals such as China or Russia.
However, astrophysicist Eric Davis – who served as an advisor for the Pentagon program since 2007 – said that he had briefed the Pentagon in March about material retrieved from “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”
The Department of Defense subcontractor also said that he had concluded that the objects found were of the type “we couldn’t make … ourselves.”
Finally, all of this oddness sparked an interesting question from Mike Krieger

ARCHAEOLOGY: Peek into Pre-Flood Switzerland
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:11
"Schleitheimia schutzi .... in what is now Switzerland.
The ancient animal is one of the earliest representatives of Sauropodomorpha, a large group of long-necked, herbivorous
dinosaurs that includes the sauropods and their ancestral relatives.
The fragmentary fossilized remains of Schleitheimia schutzi were found in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen.
The fossils were long considered to belong to Plateosaurus, a genus of herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Triassic period in what are now Central and Northern Europe, Greenland, and North America.
Professor Rauhut and co-authors re-examined the specimens and concluded that they were from a distinct species of
sauropodomorph dinosaur.
Although Schleitheimia schutzi probably looked quite similar to Plateosaurus, this dinosaur with an estimated 29.5-33 foot long body length is already significantly larger than the latter.
The discovery of Schleitheimia schutzi shows that at least three different species of early sauropodomorph dinosaurs lived in what is now Switzerland."

Creation Moment 7/26/2020 - Heraclitus Influence
"...which of the ancient Greek philosophers/scientists was responsible for originating the idea of an eternal universe.
The earliest clear statement about this comes from a fragment attributed to Heraclitus:
Therefore, it appears that Heraclitus may be one of the primary culprits in establishing the eternality of the universe in Western thought.
However, there may be an even earlier proponent(s) of the eternal universe from which Heraclitus was drawing.
But returning to influencers of Western thought, it is reported that Anaximander, who lived a century earlier than Heraclitus, also taught that the universe was and is eternal. The problem is that, being even earlier than Heraclitus, we know even less about what Anaximander wrote (only one fragment survives, and it doesn’t address cosmology).
We certainly don’t know the reasons why the ancient Greeks thought that the universe was eternal. Heraclitus didn’t tell us why he thought this, and those who came later seemed to have accepted the eternality of the universe without question.
There likely are two reasons for this.
First, the ancient Greek gods were very limited: not much more than super-men. Therefore, their gods were incapable of fiat creation.
Second, from their study of how the world around them operated, the ancient Greeks couldn’t see any possibility that the world could have created itself. If no one created the universe and the universe didn’t create itself, then the only other possibility is that the universe was not created, and hence must have always existed.
Had Christians held firm on the fact that, according to Genesis 1:1–2:3 (as well as many other biblical passages, such as For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20:11), God made everything in the beginning, then the notion that the universe was eternal would have died out in the West 15 centuries ago."

The earliest clear statement about this comes from a fragment attributed to Heraclitus:
This world, which is the same for all, no one of gods or men has made. But it always was, is, and will be: an ever-living Fire, with measures of it kindling, and measures going out.Furthermore, later writers credit Heraclitus with teaching the eternality of the universe.

Creation Moment 7/25/2020 - Your Spiral Staircase & Water
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Psalm 139:14
"Water conducts electricity; it can also conduct energy and information.
Biophysicists are finding that “water wires” at the nanoscale fine-tune enzymatic actions — indeed, can be indispensable for function.
... a remarkable fact about dynein, one of the molecular machines that “walks” on microtubules.
The scientist in that story theorized that water molecules bind to the stalk and help transmit kinetic energy via “water waves” from the reaction center, where ATP is spent, to the “feet” where walking takes place. The water molecules are so positioned as to create a virtual “tsunami” of energy from one end of the machine to the other, which causes the feet to move.
Obviously, this requires very precise cooperation between the water molecules and the amino acids in the stalk. Now, other instances are coming to light of biological systems incorporating water molecules into their functional specificity.
The purpose of membrane channels is to permit certain molecules through the cell membrane but prohibit others. This is called active transport, because normally molecules would move by diffusion (passive transport). Cells need to both attract the right molecules to go through the channel and authenticate them through the
“selectivity filter.”
Water can assist this process via electricity.
Since H2O is bipolar, single water molecules in a chain, held together by hydrogen bonds, become a sort of “wire” through which ions can pass.
Gramicidin A (gA), discovered in 1939, is a linear peptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus brevis. Unlike most peptides, gA consists of alternating left- and right-handed amino acid residues. This gives it a spiral helical shape that penetrates the bacterium’s membrane, forming a pore that looks like a spiral staircase. This allows for the free passage of cations (positively charged ions) to neutralize the pH of the interior and exterior. “The antimicrobial activity,” the authors explain, “derives from its ability to form a transmembrane channel that is selective for monovalent cations.” It is a simple “channel” to use for studying the activity of a water wire."
