Papal Notes - Mission 4.7

 ....and his deadly wound was healed: 
and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:3
 
"The most hardcore left-wing government and religious indoctrination program has just been launched. 
The most radical, secular and diabolical agenda has just been inaugurated, and our educational systems are the targets. The brainwashing of our kids has now gone global. 

On December 16, 2020, Vatican News reported that Pope Francis
participated in the launch of Mission 4.7, a global educational alliance that has teamed up with the Vatican to promote Pope Francis’ new Global Compact on Education. 

What is the Global Compact on Education? The Global Compact on Education is a world-wide education initiative launched by Pope Francis on October 15, 2020 to create a “change of mentality through education” .... the Pope’s Global Compact on Education promotes “One Humanity,” “Fraternity” and “Laudato Si’.”
 
Now Mission 4.7, a global multi-national and multi-religious organization dedicated to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a 17-point goal strategy, has joined with Pope Francis to promote a “new” emphasis on education. They chose the name Mission 4.7 because 4.7 is the educational objective in the UN 17-point goal strategy. Goal 4.7 states:

“Goal 4.7 – By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.”

Mission 4.7 was launched on December 16, 2020 and Pope Francis was there to support his new partner in education. Other members of the Vatican were also present along with the leaders of the United Nations. The Vatican and the UN came together during the launch party. 

This is a global effort to educate the entire world population on the
principles of Romanism (Laudto Si’, Fratelli Tutti) and on the immoral agenda of the United Nations that supports abortion, euthanasia and the radical gender theory. This is a plan to coerce the governments of the world to adopt a radical sexual agenda, a radical environmental agenda and Marxist socialism.
 
No Christian can support the UN Sustainable Development Goals or Mission 4.7 which is dedicated to enforcing the UN agenda. It is inappropriate for Pope Francis or anyone who professes to be a Christian to support the launch of Mission 4.7. Considering what is at stake here, every Christian should denounce Mission 4.7, not embrace it." AndyRoman/AdventMessenger

Creation Moment 2/20/2020 - Brain Complexity & Mystery of Memory

 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous... Psalm 139:14 NLT

"Neuroscientists who study memory have long believed that when
we recall these memories, our brains turn on the same hippocampal circuit that was activated when the memory was originally formed. However, MIT neuroscientists have now shown, for the first time, that recalling a memory requires a "detour" circuit that branches off from the original memory circuit.
 
Previous research has shown that encoding these memories involves cells in a part of the hippocampus called CA1, which then relays information to another brain structure called the entorhinal cortex. In each location, small subsets of neurons are activated, forming memory traces known as engrams.
 
Why would the hippocampus need two distinct circuits for memory formation and recall? The researchers found evidence for two possible explanations. 
--One is that interactions of the two circuits make it easier to edit or update memories. As the recall circuit is activated, simultaneous activation of the memory formation circuit allows new information to be added.

 The researchers found that the subiculum connects to a pair of structures in the hypothalamus known as the mammillary bodies, which stimulates the release of stress hormones called corticosteroids. That takes place at least an hour after the fearful memory is recalled.

Scientists made a key breakthrough with the identification of the Arc protein in 1995, observing how its role in the plastic changes in neurons was critical to memory consolidation.
 The researchers knew they were onto something when they captured an image of Arc that looked an awful lot like a viral capsid, the isohedral protein coat that encapsulates a virus’s genetic material for delivery to host cells during infection.

The main issue that challenges neuroscientists’ understanding of
memory is that proteins don’t last very long in the brain, even though memories last nearly a lifetime. 
So for memories to remain, there must be plastic changes, meaning that neuron structures actually have to change as a result of memory consolidation.

This is where Arc comes into play. Previous research on rats illustrated how Arc disrupts memory consolidation, suggesting that Arc is vital in neuronal plasticity.

It turns out the Arc capsid encapsulated its own RNA. When they put the Arc capsids into a mouse brain cell culture, the capsids transferred their RNA to the mouse brain cells — just like viral infection does.

“We went into this line of research knowing that Arc was special in many ways, but when we discovered that Arc was able to mediate cell-to-cell transport of RNA, we were floored,” says the study’s lead author, postdoctoral fellow Elissa Pastuzyn,.... “No other non-viral protein that we know of acts in this way.”

About a decade ago, a group of neurons known as "time cells" was discovered in rats. These cells appear to play a unique role in recording when events take place, allowing the brain to correctly mark the order of what happens in an episodic memory.
 
Located in the brain's hippocampus, these cells show a characteristic activity pattern while the animals are encoding and recalling events, explains Bradley Lega.
By firing in a reproducible sequence, they allow the brain to organize when events happen, Lega says. The timing of their firing is controlled by 5 Hz brain waves, called theta oscillations, in a process known as precession.
 
Lega investigated whether humans also have time cell....What the team found was exciting: Not only did they identify a robust population of time cells, but the firing of these cells predicted how well individuals were able to link words together in time (a phenomenon called temporal clustering). Finally, these cells appear to exhibit phase precession in humans, as predicted.
"For years scientists have proposed that time cells are like the glue that holds together memories of events in our lives," according to Lega.
 
 Researchers have long known that as animals travel a path they've
been on before, neurons encoding different locations along the path will fire in sequence much like time cells fire in the order of temporal events....As rats moved through these spaces, their neurons not only exhibited forward, predictive mini-sequences, but also backward, retrospective mini-sequences. The forward and backward sequences alternated with each other, each taking only a few dozen milliseconds to complete.
"While these animals were moving forward, their brains were constantly switching between expecting what would happen next and recalling what just happened, all within fraction-of-a-second timeframes," Pfeiffer says."

Our Privilege & Duty

Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee...
2 Chronicles 6:19

".....the children of the Lord neglect prayer, especially secret prayer, altogether too much; that many do not exercise that faith which it is their privilege and duty to exercise, often waiting for that feeling which faith alone can bring. 
Feeling is not faith; 
the two are distinct. 
Faith is ours to exercise, but joyful feeling and the blessing are God's to give. 

The grace of God comes to the soul through the channel of living faith, and that faith it is in our power to exercise. True faith lays hold of and claims the promised blessing before it is realized and felt." E.G.W.

The 3 Reformers on "Christmas" SERIES: Calvin [Indifference]

And the angel said unto them, 
Fear not: for, behold, 
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  
Luke 2:10
 

"Calvin accepted the regulative principle of Zwingli and not Luther’s normative principle, he believed that each local congregation could decide how best to celebrate (or not celebrate) the festive season. 

 Frenchman wrote two letters in January 1551 and March 1555 outlining his stance with respect to Christmas.
 
In the January 1551 letter, Calvin explained that the Geneva authorities had done away with festive days before he arrived in the city whilst openly confessing that he did –personally speaking- celebrate “the birth of Christ”.
In the March 1551 letter, Calvin hit out at those who criticized certain churches which opted to commemorate the festive period. According to the Geneva Reformer, such questions were “matters of indifference.”

Q: Does Record Snowfall = a Sign of the End Times?
A: NO
Be careful with current events trying to twist them into prophecy daily (which is known as "prophecy by headline")
But on the other hand, considering the current other events of the last few years, especially 2020, the current political state of things and a Jesuit with his Green and Ecumenical Encyclicals, the world becoming like the days of Lot (Sodom), etc..... this could be a backdrop in the bigger picture. 

"Tens of millions of Americans in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states were blanketed with more snow in one setting than the 2019-2020 season. 
The major winter storm dumped more than three feet in some parts of New York and Pennsylvania, led to airport delays, power outages, and travel disruptions. 
By Thursday morning, many looked out their windows and saw a winter wonderland, just in time for Christmas next week. Others woke up this morning and saw utter hell, like those in New York cities of Binghamton and Endicott and Litchfield, Pennsylvania, who received upwards of 40 inches. 
The National Weather Service (NWS) said about 10 inches of snow and sleet covered New York City, exceeding the measly 5 inches recorded in all of 2019-2020 season. 
NWS Eastern Region tweeted up-to-date snowfall readings for the Northeast. Absolutely mind-boggling totals for areas around the New York–Pennsylvania border.

Creation Moment 12/18/2020 - The E. coli was Still E. coli....

 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.... Romans 1:22

So all they proved below was not "evolution", but rather that the color green became dominant---while the E. coli stayed E. coli... with just more green. In other words the pre-programed Color data built into the E. coli to produce color variation led to green dominating.... but again the E. coli stayed E. coli.....SOMETIMES THESE DARWINIANS ARE SO OPENLY DECEPTIVE THAT EVEN A CHILD CAN SEE THROUGH IT...
 
"Researchers Jia Zheng, along with Ning Guo and Andreas Wagner, set out to determine how natural selection, operating through a
fitness-maximizing process, might lead indirectly to increased evolvability, a kind of meta-evolution. To do this, they subjected yellow fluorescent proteins in the bacteria Escherichia coli to different intensities of selection.

In the first phase of their experiment, they put three different populations of yellow fluorescing E. coli through either strong selection, weak selection, or no selection. 
--The strong selection amounted to optically sorting and propagating into the next generation only the top 20 percent of green fluorescing organisms. 
--For the weak-selection condition, the researchers propagated all green fluorescing organisms, including the weakest. 
Not applying selection simply meant propagating the populations forward at random regardless of their fluorescence.

In the second phase, Zheng and his colleagues applied the same
selection pressure across all three populations in order to have them evolve toward increased green fluorescence. They discovered that strong selection in the first phase, relative to weak selection or no selection, led to more rapid evolution toward the green target in the second phase.
 
This is curious. 
One might assume that strong selection eliminates variability that could contribute to evolvability, whereas weak selection allows for neutral variants to accumulate. The researchers found that strong selection was able to promote the accumulation of foldability-improving mutations......" Nautilus

The 3 Reformers on "Christmas" SERIES: Zwingli [NO]

And the angel said unto them, 
Fear not: for, behold, 
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  
Luke 2:10
 
"Zwingli got rid of every ecclesiastical festive day in Zurich. Given that Zwingli embraced the regulative principle of worship, that is,
churches should only do that which is explicitly commanded in Scripture, he opposed any celebration which was not mentioned in the Bible. This conviction, of course, is one of the key differences between Lutheran and Reformed churches.
 
It was this same belief regarding the regulative principle that led the English Puritans to do away with Christmas celebrations. When the Protestant Oliver Cromwell served as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland between 1653 and 1658, Christmas was outlawed on a national scale."

Health Note - IF it were Bottled into a Drug....

 Beloved,
 I wish above all things that thou mayest... be in health.... 
3 John 1:2
 
"If the myriad benefits of exercise could be bottled into a drug, it would be rightfully hailed as a "miracle" treatment. 
 
Regular exercise  
---prevents and even reverses type II diabetes, 
---drastically reduces the chances of heart attack and stroke, 
---lowers the odds of developing cancer and dementia, 
---and boosts the immune system, shortening the duration of syndromes like the common cold, influenza, and COVID-19 as well as reducing their severity.

Unfortunately, hundreds of millions of Americans are unable or unwilling to take advantage of these real and tangible advantages.  

This has consequences. According to a 2018 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, 8.3% of yearly deaths in nondisabled adults 25 or older can be attributed to inadequate physical activity. MBA students at the University of North Carolina (UNC) translated these preventable deaths into terms of life expectancy. They estimated that Americans' lack of exercise cost men 6.2 years of life and women 5.6 years." ZeroHedge

Creation Moment 12/17/2020 - Creator's Mystery Clock

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, .... Galatians 4:4

"Physicists connected together a cloud of ytterbium-171 atoms with
streams of photons reflected from a surrounding hall of mirrors and measured the timing of their tiny wiggles.

Their results show that entangling atoms in this way could speed up the time-measuring process of atomic nuclei clocks, making them more precise than ever. In principle, a clock based on this new approach would lose just 100 milliseconds since the dawn of time itself.

Similar to other cutting-edge clocks based on the nuclei of atoms of caesium and thorium, time in this kind of setup is divided by oscillations in a ytterbium nucleus after it absorbs a specific energy of light.
Since ytterbium's core can be made to hum at a rate 100,000 times
faster than the nucleus of a caesium atom, it makes for a far more precise time-keeping mechanism.

But there comes a point when quantum physics says it's impossible to say exactly where an atom's oscillations start and stop. This Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) acts like a blur on the atomic pendulum; you might have a faster ticking clock, but what good does it do if you can't even measure it?

One trick is to record the frequencies of multiple atoms humming all at once within a lattice consisting of hundreds of tiny atomic pendulums. Current atomic clock technologies use lasers engineered to be as stable as possible, providing each atom with an extremely similar frequency of light. By combining their collective blur, individual uncertainties average out.
 
This new method goes a step further in this averaging process. By connecting atoms together in a way that entangles the quantum probabilities of their spins, it's possible to redistribute the uncertainty in the system, increasing the precision in some parts at the expense of others.

"It's like the light serves as a communication link between atoms," says MIT physicist Chi Shu.
"The first atom that sees this light will modify the light slightly, and that light also modifies the second atom, and the third atom, and through many cycles, the atoms collectively know each other and start behaving similarly."

In this case, the team found entanglement made the measurement process roughly three times faster compared with clocks acting at the SQL.
That might not seem all that dramatic, but a speed boost could be just
the thing we need to study some of the more subtle influences the Universe has on time.
"As the Universe ages, does the speed of light change? Does the charge of the electron change?" says lead researcher Vladan Vuletic from MIT.
"That's what you can probe with more precise atomic clocks."
It could even allow us to find the point at which general relativity falls apart, pointing to new physics that connects the defined curvature of space-time with the uncertain nature of quantum fields." ScienceAlert

The 3 Reformers on "Christmas" SERIES: Luther [YES]

And the angel said unto them, 
Fear not: for, behold, 
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  Luke 2:10

"Luther, of the three Reformers, loved celebrating Christmas and he
often preached upon the birth of Christ as 25th December drew near.
Given that Luther embraced the normative principle of worship, namely, that all that the Bible does not prohibit may have a place in the church, the German felt entirely justified upon celebrating the incarnation of the Son of God in a special way at least once a year.

In his sermon entitled ‘To Us a Child Is Born’ (preached on 25th December, 1531), Luther honed in upon the faith of the shepherds who, “in spite of what their five senses told them […] concluded: this is the King, the Savior, the great joy of the people. There was nothing great in the hearts of those shepherds save for the words of the angel. In fact, they were so great that except for them the shepherds saw nothing else. They were filled with those words just like drunkards and they made them known without being in the slightest bit concerned about what the great lords in Jerusalem and the Sanhedrin would have to say. On the contrary, without an inkling of fear, they preached of the poor Christ”.

Luther took advantage of the festive season to declare the Good News that had so enthralled the Bethlehem shepherds." WillGraham/EvangelicalFocus

Health Note - Salt Overload

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

"Interestingly, there is a growing body of work showing that there is communication between the gut and brain, now commonly dubbed the gut–brain axis. The disruption of the gut–brain axis contributes to a diverse range of diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and

irritable bowel syndrome. 

Consequently, the developing field of gut–brain axis research is rapidly growing. In 2013, a couple of studies showed that high salt intake leads to profound immune changes in the gut, resulting in increased vulnerability of the brain to autoimmunity—when the immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues by mistake, suggesting that perhaps the gut can communicate with the brain via immune signaling.

Research published in “Nature Neuroscience” shows another connection: immune signals sent from the gut can compromise the

brain’s blood vessels, leading to deteriorated brain heath and cognitive impairment. Surprisingly, the research unveils a previously undescribed gut–brain connection mediated by the immune system and indicates that excessive salt might negatively impact brain health in humans through impairing the brain’s blood vessels regardless of its effect on blood pressure.

This research proposes new therapeutic targets for countering stroke—the second leading cause of death worldwide—and cognitive dysfunction. Reducing salt intake is applicable to people around the globe, as nearly every adult consumes too much salt: on average 9–12 grams per day or around twice the recommended maximum level of intake (5 grams) by the World Health Organization.

The researchers used mice, and found that immune responses in the small intestines set off a cascade of chemical responses reaching the brain’s blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the cortex and hippocampus, two brain regions crucial for learning and memory. This, in turn, brought a decline in tests of cognitive performance. The impairment in learning and memory was clear even in the absence of high blood pressure; they observed that the gut is reacting to the salt overload and directing immune signals that lay the basis for deterioration throughout the brain’s vital

vascular complex and compromise cognitive function. While this study has only been carried out on research animals so far, the scientists believe it's likely that much of the same applies to people.

Lowering salt intake has been shown to have beneficial effects to overall health, so the researchers wanted to know whether these effects extend to this newly identified signaling cascade that begins in the gut and targets the brain’s blood vessels to, ultimately, affect cognitive function. When the mice were returned to a normal diet after being on a high salt diet, the detrimental health effects caused by excess salt intake were erased.

The implications of this newly identified gut–brain connection

extend to several autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease, that have been shown to activate the same immune signaling pathway implicated in this study. These autoimmune disorders have a high stroke risk and are linked to poorly functioning blood vessels in the nervous system." ScientificAmerican

No other species tested positive (though that doesn't mean there isn't more COVID out there - far from it).  The USDA said it has notified the WHO about its discovery." ZeroHedge

Creation Moment 12/16/2020 - True Random Numbers

 Think about how big True Random Numbers must be as it relates to things of the Creator--such as the Randomness that can produce NO 2 SNOWFLAKES ALIKE..that must be one BIG True Random Number...Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? Job 38:22

"ETH scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means.

True random numbers are required in fields as diverse as slot machines and data encryption. These numbers need to be truly random, such that they cannot even be predicted by people with detailed knowledge of the method used to generate them.

As a rule, they are generated using physical methods. For instance, thanks to the tiniest high-​frequency electron movements, the electrical resistance of a wire is not constant but instead fluctuates slightly in an unpredictable way. That means measurements of this background noise can be used to generate true random numbers.

For this new approach, the ETH researchers apply the synthesis of DNA molecules, an established chemical research method frequently employed over many years. It is traditionally used to produce a precisely defined DNA sequence. In this case, however, the research team built DNA molecules with 64 building block positions, in which one of the four DNA bases A, C, G and T was randomly located at each position. The scientists achieved this by using a mixture of the four building blocks, rather than just one, at every step of the synthesis.

As a result, a relatively simple synthesis produced a combination of approximately three quadrillion individual molecules. The scientists subsequently used an effective method to determine the DNA sequence of five million of these molecules. This resulted in 12 megabytes of data, which the researchers stored as zeros and ones on a computer.

However, an analysis showed that the distribution of the four building blocks A, C, G and T was not completely even. Either the intricacies of nature or the synthesis method deployed led to the bases G and T being integrated more frequently in the molecules than A and C. Nonetheless, the scientists were able to correct this bias with a simple algorithm, thereby generating perfect random numbers.

The main aim of ETH Professor Grass and his team was to show that random occurrences in chemical reaction can be exploited to generate perfect random numbers. Translating the finding into a direct application was not a prime concern at first. “Compared with other methods, however, ours has the advantage of being able to generate huge quantities of randomness that can be stored in an extremely small space, a single test tube,” Grass says. “We can read out the information and reinterpret it in digital form at a later date. This is impossible with the previous methods.” SciTechDaily

This is just a thought---NOT A PREDICTION-- but with everything going on in the world-- what MIGHT be a possibility IF China were to use this Fake Sun for an attack frying people or at least crops of an enemy? OR IF there were to be a mishap/accident with their playing God on earth? Could signs in the sun (Luke 21:25) include Fake Suns? Just a thought NOT A PREDICTION. [Actually the text is probably referring to only the actual sun but what man is playing with here on earth could have serious consequences if a mistake is made]
Very strange times from the Merchants forming a Literal Alliance with the Beast to Fake Suns playing with nuclear fusion on earth "ten times hotter than the core of the sun"...

"Beijing has a lot of irons in the global energy market fire, facing off
against Russia for nuclear energy dominance in Africa, ramping up coal-fired capacity abroad while simultaneously touting its lofty decarbonization plans back at home, and now, powering up a brand new, cutting-edge “artificial sun.”

The so-called sun is a nuclear fusion reactor which came online for the first time last week, “marking a great advance in the country's nuclear power research capabilities,” according to a report by Science X Network’s Phys.org. 

Nuclear fusion, often thought of as the holy grail of clean energy, is

the process that takes place naturally in the Sun. Fusion merges atoms instead of splitting them in a process that creates several times more energy than nuclear fission .

Scientists have long endeavored to achieve commercial nuclear fusion, and they’re getting closer than ever. China is the most recent country to join this exclusive club.
