Lessons from the Shewbread

"Exodus 25:30 You shall set upon the table shewbread before Me always. 

Shewbread is literally “bread of the Presence.” 

Twelve loaves were placed upon the table before the Lord each Sabbath. 

The bread indicated, first of all, Christ, who is the Presence of God,

and second, all the people who by partaking of Him, become “one bread;” for the twelve tribes were represented in the twelve loaves. 

It was before the Lord continually, for new bread was placed upon the table when the old was eaten; so we, when we present our bodies “a living sacrifice,” are continually renewed. 

---The bread of the Presence repeats the mystery of the burning bush; though eaten, it is not consumed, because God’s presence it in it. 

The bread was renewed on the Sabbath day, showing that the Sabbath is to give us fresh life for service."

Creation Moment 2/2/2025 - Hallucinating Darwinians

 I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3

"Twins were the norm for our ancient primate ancestors − one baby at a time had evolutionary advantages (The Conversation, 16 December, 2024). 

Q: Did these two evolutionary anthropologists witness twins being born among ancient primate ancestors? 

A: Of course not. 

But the story’s the thing that pleases Emperor Charley. But wait a minute; if singletons have evolutionary advantages—

Q: if that is a law of nature—why is it more rare in other primates? 

Q: Are they missing out on evolutionary advantages? 

That doesn’t sound fair.

Since hallucinating is legal in evolutionary science, 

there’s always a way to dream up a solution to a puzzle. 

Just light the Deep Time brand incense and imagine:
For primates, and especially humans, childhood learning is crucial. We propose that the switch from twins to singletons was critical for the evolution of large human babies with large brains that were capable of complex learning as infants and young children.

Based on mathematical modeling, the switch to singletons occurred early on, at least 50 million years ago. From there, many primate lineages, including ours, evolved to have increasingly larger bodies and brains.
Twinning is dangerous, they conclude. 

Our primate ancestors never learned that. Somehow they have thrived anyway for many more millions of yearzzzzzz….. Go back to sleep." CEH

Are You a Half baked Christian?

"Israel was as a cake not turned, half burnt and half dough, none of it fit for use; a mixture of idolatry and of the worship of Jehovah. There were tokens of approaching ruin, as grey hairs are of old age, but they noticed them not."
Matthew Henry

They are all adulterers, 

as an oven heated by the baker, 

who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, 

until it be leavened. 

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, 

whiles they lie in wait: 

their baker sleepeth all the night; 

in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; 

all their kings are fallen: 

there is none among them that calleth unto Me.

Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; 

Ephraim is a cake not turned.

...gray hairs are here and there upon him,

 yet he knoweth not.

Hosea 7:4,6-9

Awake You Drunkards

Awake, ye drunkards,

Spiritual Babylon will come....
For a nation is come up upon My land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. 

Joel 1:6

This is a PROMISE, Not just a Prophecy:

Alas for the day! 

for the day of the LORD is at hand, 

and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Joel 1:15

The Cry of God:
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 

And rend your heart, and not your garments, 

and turn unto the LORD your God: 

for He is gracious and merciful.....

Joel 2:12,13

Hosea: The Prophet Who Lived A Prophecy

Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. Hosea 3:1

*Hosea was told by God to marry a prostitute.
*He was to stay faithful and love her despite her adultery.
*It represents God's view of us.

As his wife Gomer ran off and was a slave Hosea was to buy her back.

So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; 

thou shalt not play the harlot, 

and thou shalt not be for another man: 

so will I also be for thee.

Hosea 3:2,3

IN the NEWS - Mountains of Old Fashioned Paganism in New Zealand

Who changed the truth of God into a lie.... Romans 1:25

"A New Zealand mountain sacred to the indigenous people of the island has been named a “person” with “rights” and “responsibilities.”
The law passed Thursday gives Taranaki Maunga all the rights,

powers, duties, responsibilities and liabilities of a person. Its legal personality has a name: Te Kāhui Tupua, which the law views as “a living and indivisible whole.” It includes Taranaki and its surrounding peaks and land, “incorporating all their physical and metaphysical elements.”
A newly created entity will be “the face and voice” of the mountain, the law says, with four members from local Māori iwi, or tribes, and four members appointed by the country’s Conservation Minister." EN&V

Health Note - Mediterranean diet & your Brain

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health... 1 John 3:2

"The bacteria in your mouth may play a surprising role in brain health, potentially influencing cognitive decline as you age. A new study suggests that a diet rich in nitrates—found in leafy greens and the Mediterranean diet—could support beneficial oral bacteria linked to better memory and lower dementia risk.

Approximately 15% of older adults experience mild cognitive

impairment (MCI), which is the greatest risk factor for developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Previous research has established a link between periodontitis (gum disease) and worsening cognitive function. Scientists have identified two potential pathways connecting oral health to brain health:

Pathogenic oral bacteria may enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain.
These harmful bacteria may outcompete nitrate-reducing bacteria, which play a crucial role in producing nitric oxide—a compound

essential for synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation in the brain.
High prevalence of bacteria in the genus Porphyromonas predicted mild cognitive impairment status, while Prevotella intermedia predicted APOE4-carrier status. According to the authors, diet can affect the oral microbiome, and a nitrate-rich diet (such as the Mediterranean and ‘Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension’ diets), favors bacteria associated with good cognitive outcomes."

Creation Moment 2/1/2025 - What NONSENSE are Darwinians Focused on now?

Forsake the foolish... Proverbs 9:6

"‘Contagious’ peeing may have deep evolutionary roots, chimp study suggests (Live Science, 20 Jan 2025). Observation: some chimpanzees urinate when they see kin doing so. Conclusion: “Contagious peeing may have deep evolutionary roots:” 

Oh please, Olivia Ferrari; 

Q: have you no shame? 

Not shame over urination, which is a fact of creation, but shame over dragging Darwin into it. According to Olivia, the Bearded Buddha urges us to pee in groups, because there is no difference between me, thee, and the chimpanzee.

"Because groups of people often go to the bathroom together too, and chimpanzees are our’ closest living relatives, this social behavior could be traced back to our common ancestor, researchers said.
In humans, we know that our decision to urinate is influenced by social contexts that lead us to urinate simultaneously with others, and that this simultaneous urination could also promote further social bonding,” study co-author Shinya Yamamoto, a wildlife researcher at Kyoto University, told Live Science in an email. 

“Our study with chimpanzees clearly shows that they share some similarities in this phenomenon, suggesting the deep evolutionary origin of contagious urination."

In chimpanzees, peeing is contagious (Cell Press via Science Daily, 20 Jan 2024). This writer tops Lie Science by mentioning evolution three times. For example, “Our research suggests that this phenomenon may have deep evolutionary roots. We found that chimpanzees, our closest relatives, tend to urinate in response to the urination of nearby individuals.” You can’t help yourself. Darwin makes you do it.

All together now: chimps engage in contagious peeing (Nature, 21 Jan 2025). You might think that serious science journals would distance themselves from such nonsense. Thou didst think wrongly. Even Nature fell into this silly notion. 

Q: Where, O where, is a lonely reporter with some courage and integrity to call out silliness when Darwinists engage in it like this?

Socially contagious urination in chimpanzees (Current Biology, 21 Jan 2025). Here is the “research” by four Japanese Darwinists who had nothing better to do than sit around sipping Darwine, which has the property of requiring frequent urination. When one got up to go to the bathroom during the just-so story brainstorming session, the others thought of the pressure on their own bladders, and a light bulb went on— and quickly blew out."

Old & New Testament

"We go to both the Old and the New Testament; for they support each other, and the New Testament would have but little force without the Old. 

1. The New-Testament Scriptures are largely made up of references to, and quotations from, the Old; 

2. The Old-Testament Scriptures testify of Christ, and without them it would be difficult to show that Christ was the Messiah; 

3. Christ commands us to search them (John 5:39), and says, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4); 

4. They are all the Scriptures that the apostles and the primitive church had for years; 

5. Those who searched them in apostolic times, were said to be more noble than those who did not (Acts 17:11); 

Surely, we cannot get along without the Old Scriptures, 

and if we believe in the New Testament, 

we shall not despise the Old."

Creation Moment 1/31/2025 -Chicken and Egg PROBLEM for the Big Bang

In the beginning God created the heaven..... Genesis 1:1

"The formation of stars after the alleged big bang is also a huge problem. 

The astronomer, Dr Danny Faulkner, pointed out:
"Stars supposedly condensed out of vast clouds of gas, and it has long

been recognized that the clouds don’t spontaneously collapse and form stars, they need to be pushed somehow to be started. There have been a number of suggestions to get the process started, and almost all of them require having stars to start with [e.g. a shockwave from an exploding star causing compression of a nearby gas cloud]. This is the old chicken and egg problem; it can’t account for the origin of stars in the first place."

The 2 Laws

"As a people, we believe that there are two laws, or systems of law: 

1.) The moral law and the principles of moral duty which grow out of it; 

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love

God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: 

and His commandments are not grievous.
He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5:2,3/2:4

2.) The ceremonial law, embracing the typical remedial system pointing forward to Christ, and the civil laws growing out of the special relation existing between God and the Jewish people to the cross. 

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
Colossians 2:14,16

We hold the former to be ever binding upon man, 

while the latter passed away."

IN the NEWS - EEKE pushes Sunday in Greece

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:2

"Whether they know it or not, labor unions are serving the interests of Rome. Rome will use anyone to further its Sunday agenda. While apostate church leaders will seek to justify Sunday-keeping through so-called moral and spiritual support, labor unions perform the dirty work of engaging in chaos, disruptions, and fighting. In Greece, labor unions today are pressuring authorities and employers to keep Sunday work-free.

On January 16, 2025, To Vima, a news media company in Athens, Greece, published an article about how trade unions are calling for Sunday shopping restrictions and are arguing that Sunday store openings violate the fundamental rights of workers.

To Vima published the following:
• “The Working Consumers of Greece (EEKE) is urging consumers to avoid shopping on Sundays as part of a broader effort to restore balance in the retail sector and protect workers’ rights.”
• “According to EEKE, the opening of stores on Sundays creates conditions that favor monopolistic practices, undermining healthy competition and inevitably driving many small and medium-sized businesses to closure.”
• “Additionally, EEKE argued that Sunday openings disrupt personal and family life, violating fundamental labor rights that are both constitutionally guaranteed and the result of hard-fought battles by workers.”
• “In its statement, the Union is urging consumers to support businesses that remain closed on Sundays. Their campaign slogan reads: “Sunday Closed! I Don’t Shop – I Don’t Work!”

It is not a coincidence that labor unions have designated Sunday as the day for workers to have time off for rest, family, and friends. The unions are simply joining the chorus of those calling for Sunday to become the universal day of rest for all people. In other words, this is a public call to increase awareness for Sunday closings."

Creation Moment 1/30/2025 - Big Bang & Genesis at odds: Hence NOT Compatible

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

that did seek God. 

Psalm 53:2

"The big bang teaches that the sun and many other stars formed before

the earth, while Genesis teaches that they were made on the fourth day after the earth, and only about 6,000 years ago rather than 10–20 billion years ago. 

The big bang also entails millions of years of death, disease, and pain before Adam’s sin, which contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture, which is thus unacceptable to Biblical Christians."

Creation Moment 1/29/2025 - Naturalism is the Root of Evolutionary Thinking

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1

"The framework behind the evolutionists’ interpretation is naturalism—it is assumed that things made themselves, that no divine intervention has happened, and that God has not revealed to us

knowledge about the past.
Evolution is a deduction from this assumption, and it is essentially the idea that things made themselves.
Professor D.M.S. Watson, one of the leading biologists and science writers of his day, demonstrated the atheistic bias behind much evolutionary thinking when he wrote:
"Evolution [is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible."

Papal Notes - Francis Gets Called Out

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
Romans 13:1-7 RSV

"In a no-holds-barred response to Pope Francis’s criticism of U.S. immigration policies, former Border Patrol chief Tom Homan delivered a blistering rebuke that cut straight to the heart of the Vatican’s hypocrisy.

When the Pope condemned the Trump administration’s deportation plans as a “disgrace” – despite the Vatican’s own strict immigration controls – Homan didn’t hold back. A lifelong Catholic, he challenged the pontiff to “concentrate on fixing the Catholic Church” before lecturing the United States on border security.
Homan’s most potent argument highlighted the Vatican’s own

paradoxical stance: “They have a wall around the Vatican, and if you illegally enter, you’ll be charged with a serious crime. So he can protect where he lives, but the American people are not allowed that?”
Homan emphasized the human cost of unsecured borders: “Securing the border saves lives. Less people means less women get raped by cartels, less children die in rivers, and less Americans die from fentanyl

overdose.”
The message was clear: compassion isn’t about open borders, but about protecting vulnerable populations from harm."

SDA Issues - ADRA Drags Church into Lawbreaking

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:21-23

"ADRA helping to facilitate mass illegal immigration into the United States....Apparently, the United Nations and ADRA have no plans of stopping this practice. The UN wants to spend 1.4 billion more

dollars in 2025 to support an additional 2.3 million migrants traveling from 17 Latin America countries into the United States. ADRA is one of the top ten organizations helping this, destined to receive $5,000,000 from the new budget to facilitate this mass migration. The Seventh-day Adventist church is named on FOX News.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, and The New York Times, the illegal immigration border surge over the last three plus years was the “largest in U.S. history”. ADRA was one of the NGO’s helping this to happen.

This relationship weakens the Seventh-day Adventist Church, instead of strengthening it. 

Q: Who in their right mind would ever think that our Seventh-day Adventist founders would advise a federation with a group like the United Nations?"

Biblical Definition of DEATH

"What is your life?” And you know the answer. It is even A VAPOR, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 

James 4:14.

So, you can see that this life which all men have for the mere passing moment, is not real life: it is “even a vapor.” 

And this death that we meet when that vapor “vanisheth away” is not real death: it is a sleep. 

Only that life which is the life of God is life indeed; and only that death from which there is no resurrection, from whose power there is no possible deliverance,—only that is death indeed. 

This life which is but a vapor, 

and this death which is but a sleep, 

form for mankind a valley of decision between the life which is life indeed and the death which is death indeed."

IN the NEWS - Standing up to the Abortion Mill Lobby

And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 

Deuteronomy 27:15

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
Psalm 139:16

"*Trump started his incredible pro-life week with removing Joe Biden’s web site that promoted abortion.
*He followed that up with an executive order that confirmed human beings begin their lives at conception.
*The president followed that up with an executive order pardoning 23 pro-life Americans who Joe Bien unjustly convicted for exercising their free speech rights to protest at abortion businesses.
*Trump signed an executive order reinstating the “Mexico City Policy,” which prohibits taxpayer funding of groups like International Planned Parenthood that promote and perform abortions in other nations.
*President Trump issued an executive order enforcing the Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds for elective abortions domestically. This move underscores the administration’s commitment to preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortion services within the United States.
*President Trump also participated in the annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., where he delivered a videotaped speech reaffirming his administration’s dedication to pro-life initiatives.
*Furthermore, the administration announced plans to limit the enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, arguing that it has been used to target pro-life activists unfairly. This decision reflects the administration’s stance on protecting the rights of individuals engaging in peaceful protest outside abortion businesses. The end of lawfare against pro-life Americans is a significant free speech victory."

Creation Moment 1/27/2025 - How do we detect design?

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Psalm 139:14

Q: How do we detect design?
"There is an obvious difference between writing by an intelligent person, e.g. Shakespeare’s plays, and a random letter sequence like WDLMNLTDTJBKWIRZREZLMQCOP.

We can also tell the difference between messages written in sand and

the results of wave and wind action. 

The carved heads of the U.S. presidents on Mt Rushmore are clearly different from erosional features. 

Again, this is specified complexity. Erosion produces either irregular shapes or highly ordered shapes like sand dunes, but not presidents’ heads or writing.

To elaborate, a crystal is a repetitive arrangement of atoms, so is

ordered. Such ordered structures usually have the lowest energy, so will form spontaneously at low enough temperatures. And the information of the crystals is already present in their building blocks; for example, directional forces between atoms. 

--But proteins and DNA, the most important large molecules of life, are not ordered (in the sense of repetitive), but have high specified complexity. 

Without specification external to the system, i.e., the programmed machinery of living things or the intelligent direction of an organic chemist, there is no natural tendency to form such complex specified arrangements at all. 

--When their building blocks are combined (and even this requires special conditions), a random sequence is the result. The difference between a crystal and DNA is like the difference between a book containing nothing but ABCD repeated and a book of Shakespeare.

The design criterion may also be described in terms of information.

Specified complexity means high information content. 

In formal terms, the information content of any arrangement is the size, in bits, of the shortest algorithm (program) required to generate that arrangement. A random sequence could be formed by a short program:

Print any letter at random.
Return to step 1.
A repetitive sequence could be made by the program:Print ABCD.
Return to step 1.
*But to print the plays of Shakespeare, a program would need to be large enough to print every letter in the right place.
The information content of living things is far greater than that of Shakespeare’s writings. 

The atheist Richard Dawkins says:
"There is enough information capacity in a single human cell to store the Encyclopaedia Britannica, all 30 volumes of it, three or four times over."

If it’s unreasonable to believe that an encyclopedia could have originated without intelligence, then it’s just as unreasonable to believe that life could have originated without intelligence."
