Genetic modification and dinosaurs

Posted on by elizabethprata

Here is a theory. I am connecting some biblical dots here but not everyone subscribes to my interpretation I’ve developed based on those biblical dots.

We know that sometime around 4500 years ago, God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. (Gen 6:5). God said, … “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” (Gen 6:12-13)

We know that Lucifer fallen to earth, for iniquity was found in him and he was cast from his place in heaven. (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:12-18). A third of the angels followed him. (Revelation 12:4). Those dastardly guys did not take their ejection well. Satan knew that God had promised a Redeemer from Noah’s line, and definitely not wanting a redeemer to be able to emerge on earth, the angels set about helping man in his depraved ways corrupt them beyond recognition.

We know that strange men were still on the earth even after the days of the Nephilim when some of the tribes still pillaged around the Middle East subsequent to the flood, including the Raphaim, Anakites, Zamzummites, Emites, and, of course, the giant Og, King of Basham. Goliath and his four bothers as described in 1 and 2 Samuel were giants. When 10 of the 12 spies were dispatched to check out the promised land, they were petrified at seeing one of the Nephilim tribes, and even described a grape cluster so large it took two of the men to carry it. Satan was still enacting his plan to corrupt.

Here we have a glimpse of genetic tinkering with food. Not only were the Nephilim causing destructive mutations among humans and in the food supply, but also in the animals. (1 Samuel 15:3) I personally believe God did not make dinosaurs but rather they were an animal result of Nephilim and fallen angel messing with genes. I also believe the dinosaurs were not invited to the Ark and perished in the flood. I mean, why would God make an animal too big to move with too small of a brain to handle it? Dinosaurs were not biologically efficient nor elegant.

So anyway, genetic messing with our genes was the ploy the fallen angels used to wreck the bloodlines and hopefully prevent the promised redeemer. But satan never gave up, we read ahead in history and see how he is active on the earth up to this moment and beyond during Revelation times. So would satan abandon a successful tactic of destruction and ruination, corruption and perversion, such as genetic tampering? No. Now when John reminds us that satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10:10) So here is my theory.

Having failed to corrupt man through the direct tactic of genetic manipulation from marriages of themselves to daughters of men, and the animals, they now pollute the food we eat, embarking on an indirect method to corrupt us. Have you ever wondered why we are experiencing the ever-earlier onset of puberty? It’s age 9 now, with onset as early as age 7! Why? Or why we’re all huge? Large, lumbering, fat, obese, and taller than ever? We can’t even fit on seats anymore from Depression-era movie theaters. Or why autism has quadrupled? Or why suddenly, celiac disease has sprouted up in widespread manner in the population and doctors can’t figure out why? (“Increase in celiac disease baffles doctors.”) Or why food has to be genetically modified in the first place?

The genetic mingling happened in the past, is happening now, and will happen again once more in direct manner: In Daniel 2:43 there’s a reference to someone from the fourth prophesied kingdom “mingling themselves with the seed of men” in the last days. KJV: “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Who is the mentioned ‘they‘ mixing with seed of men? Something not man? Hmmm.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Fortunately, satan’s efforts will have only one last zenith and then he will be bound for 1000 years. He will be loosed for a short time, and then thrown alive into the lake of fire forever. Jesus triumphed on the cross and He is THE VICTOR. All who believe in Him are victors too.

Thousands besiege church where Christ allegedly appeared

Posted on by elizabethprata

Be very wary, Christian! The end time promised supernatural events are increasing, just as Jesus said they would, to deceive even the elect:

“If any man shall say to you, “Lo, here is Christ,” or, “There!,” believe it not.  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.” (Matt. 24:23-25)

The Nigerian Observer reported:
Christ’s apparition attracts thousands
Benin City, Nigeria: St Paul’s Catholic Church along Airport Road in Benin City, yesterday, turned into a mecca of sorts as people from all walks of life thronged the church to catch a glimpse of what has been literally described as an apparition of Jesus Christ. The uncommon but holy phenomenon according to catholic faithful and enthusiasts present at the church premises, came up early Wednesday morning immediately after the offering of adoration at the church.

The massive crowd halted vehicular traffic on the road for several hours, causing discomfort for travellers and road users

The Nigerian Tribune reports:
Benin residents besiege church over appearance of Jesus
THOUSANDS of residents in Benin City, the Edo State capital, on Thursday, besieged the St. Paul’s Catholic Church, located on the Airport Road in the Benin metropolis, to catch a glimpse of Jesus Christ who was rumoured to have appeared to worshippers during the morning mass service. The Thursday appearance of the image of Jesus Christ to the worshippers at the church was reputed to be the first of its kind in the area. Francis Efe, 18, a mass server, said he actually saw the image of Jesus Christ in a form of the Divine Mercy image around 5.00 p.m on Wednesday, while preparing for mass after the prayer. He said after seeing the image, he went outside the church hall to call his fellow mass servers and that they all followed him to the altar to see the image before it receded into the monstrance in the form of the Divine Mercy image. “The priest came and we repeated the Divine Mercy prayer, followed by the Benediction, then the monstrance was reposed before we started the evening mass,” he added. Efe said it was the security man who was watching over the monstrance that first saw the apparition and ran away. While giving an account of what happened on Thursday, Efe said, “this morning after the morning prayer, the priest brought the monstrance back to the altar and the people that came for morning mass saw it and the people started shouting in amazement.” Describing the image he saw, Efe said “Jesus Christ came like a human. Only the body, the hand and the head showed. The feet did not show. He came in pure white gown with something like red rays in form of blood and sky blue rays radiating from the navel downwards in a triangular formation.” Below, a monstrance, a device used to hold the Holy Eucharist.

Test everything against the Word, for even the elect can be deceived. Did not Jesus promise “For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord”? (Mathew 23:39). How could He come back and break His promise?

Aren’t we told “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am”? John 14:3. How could He come back and not take us with Him?

It is wonderful that so many people are hungry for Jesus and thirsty for His presence. However, do not fail to test all things, and hold fast only to what is GOOD.

Homosexual marriage ban in CA (Prop 8) ruled unconstititional [UPDATED]

Posted on by elizabethprata
See bottom for the update

 Last November in CA, citizens voted on a citizen-initiative at the polls defining marriage as only between one man and one woman in the state constitution. It passed. The amendment was immediately challenged legally, there was a trial, and it’s been in Judge Walker’s hands for consideration ever since.

Judge Walker sifted through evidence, heard arguments, reviewed the law, made a decision, and today he totally botched it. He ruled that homosexuals banned from marrying under the newly enacted, State constitutionally defined marriage definition was a contradiction against the US Constitution. He struck down the definition that only one man and one woman are qualified to marry in CA. The case marks the first federal court test of a state law banning gay marriage.

In one very real sense this in an interesting interplay with the MA law that was also recently struck down that stated the Federally defined marriage act stating one man and one woman are the only qualifiers for marriage, was unconstitutional because the Federal Government had no business defining marriage qualifications for the states. But in CA, the citizens did just that in their state, and and passed their definition. And it was struck down.

The Judge wrote that Prop 8 “unconstitutionally burdens the exercise of the fundamental right to marry and creates an irrational classification on the basis of sexual orientation.” God’s definition of marriage is not irrational. But to continue, the judge wrote, “[Prop 8] fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.” The freedom to marry is a fundamental right under due process, he said. Beginning on page 113 he outlines the criteria for marriage under our nation’s past legal history, traditions and practices and uses those criteria as the foundation to show that marriage between same sexes is a fundamental right, rather than a new right.

Walker said that characteristics of marriages in the US have included two parties, free consent, forming of a household, and mutual support of each other and dependents. Nowhere is the main characteristic of marriage in the US’s history mentioned, that those two parties have always been of opposite gender. As a matter of fact, he wrote, the institution of marriage has been moving away from a gendered institution as our understanding of gender increases and the two genders are now considered equal.

Moreover, the notion of two genders having distinct roles in society is an artifact of a time that has passed. (p 115).

Judge Walker could not be more wrong, about everything. The gender roles are just as distinct and in force as the day that God made them (Gen 2:20-25). It is man’s sinful and corrupt nature that has put aside the good and the perfect that God planned for us, including the structure of marriage and the functions of the husband and the wife.

Jesus said that the time immediately prior to His coming would be like the Days of Noah. (Matthew 24:37). The days of Noah were “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that <sup class="xref" value="(D)”>every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”” (Gen 6:5-7)

Paul said the time of the end would be characterized by conditions where the majority of people will be “boasters, proud, blasphemers,… unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Of the decision, the chortling and trumpeting of the ‘new day’ has already begun. Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote on Twitter, “Very joyful court ruled against #prop8, it is a stain upon the CA Constitution’…” Sean R. Simons wrote, “is a huge victory for all Americans who believe in equality for not just few, but for all. Today is a great day for our nation.” Lesbian talk show host Ellen DeGeneres said, “We’re all equal, and we should all have equal rights. I’m so grateful for today’s decision.” A Twitterer tweeted “If one should have faith in anything, it is that Love endures. In the end, Love will always win out over Hate.”

Understandably, the lost do not realize that God is love and satan is hate, and that they are actually working for satan and his hate against anything and everything God holds dear, including and especially marriage. Unfortunately, they will soon understand that, and more devastatingly, they will have an eternity to ponder its truth. Yes, Love will win, it already has, in the form of Jesus at the cross, dying for the very people who pollute His institutions today.

Christian, if your heart is heavy, and you see, listen to, and read the joyful chortles of mockers and scoffers of our faith, and more importantly, of God’s standards for moral purity, take heed that His wrath is coming and what the mockers and scoffers will endure will be far worse than anything we can say or do.

“It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. “It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. (Luke 17:28-30)

UPDATE: The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage being heard in San Francisco is that the federal judge who will decide the case, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay.

Conscious Convergence set for July 17-18 will call forth beings and realities they do not expect

Posted on by elizabethprata

Are you ready to converge? Become one with the universe? Co-create? No? Well, you, too, can be a god! On July 17! Try it!

On July 17-18 a world-wide event will take place among all those who adhere to the philosophy that we humans are participants in the creation of our reality. It is called the Conscious Convergence, and it’s organized by a former toxicologist, Dr. Carl Calleman. In a Youtube interview, Calleman said the event will unite those who get together to “manifest united consciousness” in which, they will be “climbing to a higher level of consciousness” and then they can “ask the Divine, ‘what am I do to to help this transition to unity consciousness, to help manifest the Divine plan?” or, “what does it take for me to be a co-creator of the Unity Consciousness?”

It is the height of arrogance to say that mere humans can ‘help’ the Divine manifest anything. The inverse of that is that the Divine is insufficient to execute any plan the ‘Divine’ has, so it seeks our help. And if it’s insufficient to carry out its plan, then it’s not Divine. That much is obvious. Of course, it begs the question, who IS the ‘Divine’?  That one is never quite answered.

But millions are enthusiastically preparing to join in and begin co-creating. What they intend to create is unclear also. Quoting from the Conscious Convergence page on Facebook:

“The Conscious Convergence is global event, which paves the way for the ninth and last wave of consciousness in the Mayan calendar system. It’s called unity consciousness. It’s also the end of dualistic consciousness where we are separated into East and West, male and female, black and white, spirit and matter and so on. In reality, we are all ONE with no need for separation.” So we all become muddy-colored hermaphrodites. No? What did I miss?

One adherent explained it this way: :
“The Mayan Calendar and its end date are not about an apocalyptic end of the world scenario. It is not about an event or a series of events that are just going to drop down from the sky upon us suddenly. It requires our active co-creation with it. The Mayan Calendar depicts a non-linear evolution of consciousness tracking from the Big Bang nearly 16 billion years ago to the potential completion of that fully evolved consciousness–interconnected unity conscious–at the completion of the Calendar.” Their long count calendar ends at December 21, 2012, but that is not the end of time, only of the long count. Another one begins after Dec 2012, according to the Mayans. In this explanation, it’s not called “Divine” but “Source Wisdom.” The Calendar can be thought of as a 9-tier pyramid with each ascending level of the pyramid going higher and being proportionately more condensed. That’s why Dr. Dalleman says this is the 9th wave. Since the human species is the only species that can be conscious fully of our own consciousness, we are the potential co-creators to align with the cosmic forces!” What cosmic forces these are, exactly, are never explained.

The Conscious Convergence web site opens with the following statement of intention:
Shared Intention Agreement

“I, as a sovereign being, join together with All That Is to call forth the presence of balance and unity within me and in our world. I am the conscious presence of harmony and reconciliation and I am grateful for the wholeness I bring forth in this and every moment. And so it is.” Sounds familiar. The Wiccans say “so mote it be.”

There it is in a nutshell. Sovereign. It all boils down to the one lie, for in the beginning the serpent said, ‘you can be like God.’  (Gen 3:5). And that lie has been going strong ever since, that we are sovereign beings. In believing that we could be sovereign beings, it means we are answerable to no one. This is a philosophy which appeals greatly to the sinful nature we all have. Some never recognize their true nature, to their eternal doom. But it is the most lasting devilish doctrine and the most effective. We are gods.

The bible is replete with warnings not to accept falsity in teaching, preaching, or the Word.

Beware false teachers
“As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God’s work—which is by faith.” (1 Timothy 1:3-4)

Beware false doctrines
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” (2 Peter 2:1-3)

Do not be deceived
“Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:4-5)

And yet, they ARE deceived! They follow hollow teachings which tickle the ears. “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” (2 Tim 4:3). And why wouldn’t ‘being your own god’ tickle your ears? Why wouldn’t thinking yourself a co-creator of the universe tickle your fancy? These doctrines elevate the self, whereas in a Christian’s world, the self is craven, dirty, and should be denied.

If you see a bunch of people meditating really, really hard on July 17 or 18, with wrinkled brow, trying for all they are worth to ‘manifest’ some kind of ill-defined reality, know that they will be successful, if doomed. For satan is the god of this world, and attempting to “call forth” other consciousnesses is an open invitation to asking satan to creep in and control your mind and your life. (1 Peter 5:8). Would that a person be curious about the wisdom and consciousness of God! Attempt instead to connect with His majesty and glory as expressed in His creation and by the strength of the Holy Spirit! We are not sovereign beings, and we manifest nothing except what our sin nature allows: and this fallen world is proof. If we were sovereign and able to create a different reality, don’t you think we would have done it by now?

Pray for all the people on July 17-18 following after these doctrines of demons and pray for their release from the bondage satan has then under. God’s Light and Truth is so much more powerful and lasting than any crumbly bits of non-linear, co-created reality our dualistic natures can conjure!

Update on the Tampa sinkhole

Posted on by elizabethprata

The car that was swallowed by the surprise sinkhole at a Tampa Condo is now completely submerged. It’s gone, baby, gone. “A 1995 Toyota Camry fell victim to the crater, falling in and then being swallowed so that it is now completely out of sight.” However, a local Good Samaritan did offer to replace their car. As far as the Guatemala Sinkhole goes, they are so over it. They newspaper that broke the story refuses to cover it anymore. I liked the article, I recommend reading it, and the editor has an excellent point.

Sinkhole in Tampa swallows car, forces evacuation of 11 families

Posted on by elizabethprata

Now this is something you don’t see every day. Or, lately, I think it IS something you see everyday. I’ve been reporting about the changes on and in the earth as evidenced by unexpected sinkholes, mine collapses, mud eruptions, explosions and cracks in the earth. Isaiah prophesies that at the last days the earth will crack up. Prior to that, the geo-landforms on top of the earth and underneath it will undergo catastrophic changes. Islands will sink. Mountains will collapse. It has been my opinion that these events as birth pangs are increasing in advance of the tribulation, making themselves more and more known, as birth pangs do. The earth as we see it will be modified.

Sinkholes are one symptom of a restless earth. This week in Tampa a sinkhole suddenly opened up, swallowing a car. The hole is 20-foot-wide, and 10-foot-deep. The hole continues to grow, say officials.

As for that famous sinkhole which had appeared in Guatemala in June, it’s still baffling geologists, not to mention City Planners. “Geologists baffled by what to do with giant Guatemala sinkhole, “Simply filling the hole won’t help, says Mr. Kasmarek, without first studying the geological makeup of the surrounding area to determine the underlying factors that caused the collapse.” This is a link to amazing photos of the Guatemala hole.

Biblically, we know that the earth veritably heaves and shifts during the Tribulation. Even during the lead-in of the end times we are told that there will be earthquakes. In SoCal, the recent earthquake has caused increased pressure, not lessened it. “Southern California faults are feeling the pressure Seismologists are increasingly concerned that the 7.2 Mexicali temblor on April 4 placed more pressure on faults around the Southland, resulting in increased quake activity over the last three months.” The Easter Sunday quake shifted the earth three feet. A mile-long crack appeared in the ground in nearby Mexico. Too many weird crustal changes are happening during the exact time Jesus said to watch for the birth pangs for us to ignore.

Spiritually, there is nothing more disconcerting than the very ground we walk on and trust giving way. If you can’t trust the ground you walk on, what can you trust? Jesus. Part of the intent of the end time is to shake us out of complacency, and show us in undeniable terms that the only thing we can and should trust is Jesus. Psalm 18:2 says “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” When the very earth gives way under our feet, Jesus is the stronghold. He is the most solid ground on which we can ever hope to stand, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.” (Matthew 7:25) Is your life founded on that rock? Is your trust on that rock? Or do you go your own way and place trust in jobs, bank accounts, parents, vehicles, retirement, physical strength, intellect? Those are important but they are gifts from Jesus, Who is the rock from which all else flows. Place your trust in Him today, even if you are spiritually at the bottom of a sinkhole. He will lift you out.

On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand!

What do the Uganda bombing, Comoros Isles, and Gog-Magog have in common?

Posted on by elizabethprata

Ezekiel 38 and 39 are chapters that are set in the last days and depict a surprise attack by a dastardly coalition coming against Israel. The coalition attacks are on the verge of success when God Himself intervenes to save Israel. All the world sees it and knows what is going on. (Ez 39:27).

But before the battle ends, the LORD makes some promises, and one of them is that He “will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.” (Ezekiel 39:6)

Who are the isles? They could be The Comoros Islands, also known as The Forgotten Isles. Comoros is an island nation with a small but dense population on several adjacent islands. The illiteracy rate is well over 53% and the unemployment rate is 14%. The nation used to be known as the Perfume Islands because of their exports of ylang-ylang, an essential oil, and vanilla. Since the glory days of those exports, however, they have become one of the world’s poorest countries. Hunting, Fishing, and Forestry are the main industries, comprising 80% of the employment opportunities. Comoros is a nation of 98% Muslim adherents. Christian Comorans are not allowed to preach, witness, nor gather for worship. Comoros is a member of the 22-nation Arab League.

Now, the Arab League is an interesting organization in itself. If you ever wondered, like I do, what tiny nations like Ethiopia or Sudan can bring to a military coalition such as Gog-Magog with heavyweights Russia and Iran it is their Muslim heritages and their mutual interests as outlined in their international organization:

“The Arab League is officially called the League of Arab States is a regional organisation of Arab states in North and Northeast Africa, and Southwest Asia. It was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945 with six members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan (renamed Jordan after 1946), Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Yemen joined as a member on May 5, 1945. The Arab League currently has 22 members and four observers. The main goal of the league is to “draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate collaboration between them, to safeguard their independence and sovereignty, and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries.” source

A few years ago President Ahmadinejad of Iran shifted from allying with Western nations through economic ties, to forging alliances with Muslim nations no matter how small, because the cement of mutual worship of Allah is stronger than political or economic interests. It is the ideology that draws them together. In looking at this map, it becomes apparent that many of the nations in the Arab League are the ones who ally in the Gog-Magog Battle (and/or participate in the Psalm 83 battle which precedes it). Map of Arab League nations:

However, Comoros Islands’ forgotten status is not forgotten to Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. Recently he reached out to the tiny nation off the south of Africa, and offered to strengthen ties as evidenced by the following headlines:

Iran strengthen ties with Comoros Isles
Ahmadinejad: Iran, Comoros support each other
Iran sympathizes with Comoros over plane crash

In the news this week is an even more ominous development.

Uganda attack shows strength of al-Qaeda’s Somali branch
“THE HORRIFIC bombings in Uganda of soccer fans watching the World Cup final marked a breakthrough for the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab. The movement began as an insurgency against a Western-backed government in lawless Mogadishu. In the course of the past year it has become a subsidiary of al-Qaeda, led by foreign militants. The despicable suicide attacks Sunday in Kampala, which killed 74 civilians, marked al-Shabab’s first operation outside of Somalia. It’s not likely to be the last. The danger posed by the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist network in Somalia has been growing for some time, just as it has in nearby Yemen. What were once local groups of militants are now commanded by veteran lieutenants of Osama bin Laden. In the case of Somalia, that is Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, a native of the Comoros islands who was one of the architects of the 1998 bomb attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.”

al-Qaeda’s Somali allies take fight onto world stage
“Somali allies of al Qaeda have taken their bloody push for power onto the international stage for the first time with a deadly bombing in Uganda that displays a well practised, publicity-savvy sense of timing and targeting. The Sunday night attacks that killed 74 soccer fans watching the World Cup final may point to weaknesses in security in Uganda, and perhaps other regional states also seen as enemies by al Shabaab, the group that claimed the attack, analysts say. Al Shabaab’s change of tactics to strike beyond the borders of the failed state appears to have been decided to press home in the most dramatic way its opposition to an African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission that it sees as Western-inspired. “This is clear evidence that the group has the intent and capability to stage international terror attacks,” said Henry Wilkinson, of Janusian Security consultants in London.”

It is possible that the Comoros Isles are in the thick of the struggle for Muslim dominance and part of increasingly friendly relations with Iran, main perpetrator of the Gog-Magog attack. Comoran native Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is described by International Crisis Group (ICG) as “commander in chief of al Shabaab.” al-Shabab itself is a subsidiary of al-Qaeda, now growing in strength and evilness in their deeds against the West. If indeed the Comoros Islands are part of the increasingly bold attacks on Western targets, flexing their muscles in preparation for the ultimate attack: Gog/Magog vs. Israel, then it matters not that they are 3,000 miles from Jerusalem dwelling carelessly. God has certainly not forgotten them. They can think they dwell in safety all they want, be careless, even. The fire God visits upon them will be just as hot as that which falls on the invaders into Israel, “and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

There will be pestilences: plague hitting Syrian army?

Posted on by elizabethprata

According to the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, a mysterious outbreak of plague is occurring in the Syrian army. According to Syrian opposition figures in exile, Syrian President Bashar Assad has ordered the shutdown of all Syrian military exercises due to a plague that is currently affecting a large number of the army, especially conscripts in basic training.

The officials are calling it bubonic plague that’s spread by drought, and poor food on the military bases, but that is not the usual method of transfer of this particular kind of plague. Plague is highly infectious and whatever kind it is, natural or biological, it would have the potential to render the Syrian Army decimated just at the time when tensions between Israel, Syria, and Iran are at their most tense. If the Syrian soldiers are experiencing plague they could carry the infections to their home towns when they disperse in Mid-August for Ramadan.

“If you take something like Bot – I gram of crystalline Botulinium is estimated to kill about a million people if it were evenly dispersed…” Dr. Jill Dekker

In 2007 Syria promised bio-weapon retaliation against Israel should Israel strike Iran. In the New English Review, consultant to the NATO Defense Establishment in bio-warfare and counter terrorism expert Dr. Jill Dekker said that “Contrary to how the US State Department and other agencies tend to downplay the sophistication of the Syrian biological and nuclear programs, they are very advanced. Syria has always had the most advanced chemical weapons program in the Middle East.” At that time, Dr. Dekker said that Syria had shifted in their philosophy of  using bio-weapons from special weapons to conventional arsenal, and they have the will to do it. Why? Realizing they have no practical opportunity to reach parity with Israel or the US on conventional weapons, they decided to pursue bio-weaponry and were at that time fixing conventional missiles with a highly virulent anthrax germ with the help of Russian scientists. Ominously for the world, the US nor the UN were particularly reactive to the Syrians’ re-definition of bio-weaponry as conventional and offensive. Ominously for prophecy, the Syrians run their biological programs out of the Syrian Scientific Research Council (SSRC) in Damascus.

Isaiah 17:1 states that Damascus will be destroyed. It will be a heap of ruins and will cease from being a city. That prophecy has not been fulfilled yet because Damascus, being the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, has never been abandoned nor destroyed.

The title of this entry refers to a promise that Jesus made. He was speaking to the disciples about the end times signs, as recorded in Luke 21:11 and Jesus said “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” This promise could refer to the things that will happen in the 7-year Tribulation as much as it could be interpreted to occur in the time immediately prior to the start of the last 7 years. In any case, the stage is being set for plagues, and do not assume that the plagues to come will be generated only naturally. They could be man-made, the result of bio-weaponry used in one of the many wars that Jesus also promised would come.

The fact is that Isaiah 17:1 will be fulfilled at some point. The fact is that Syria is extremely sophisticated in their bio-weaponry program and highly advanced in their determination to use it. Events in the Middle East bear watching more than ever. And looking up to the skies for our Redemption bears more watching than ever.

Cracking the Plato code leads to…God

Posted on by elizabethprata

In interesting science and religion news, with a little philosophy thrown in, a Science historian cracks “the Plato code”.

“A science historian at The University of Manchester has cracked “The Plato Code” – the long disputed secret messages hidden in the great philosopher’s writings. … Dr Jay Kennedy, whose findings are published in the leading US journal Apeiron, reveals that Plato used a regular pattern of symbols, inherited from the ancient followers of Pythagoras, to give his books a musical structure. A century earlier, Pythagoras had declared that the planets and stars made an inaudible music, a ‘harmony of the spheres’. Plato imitated this hidden music in his books. The hidden codes show that Plato anticipated the Scientific Revolution 2,000 years before Isaac Newton, discovering its most important idea – the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. The decoded messages also open up a surprising way to unite science and religion. The awe and beauty we feel in nature, Plato says, shows that it is divine; discovering the scientific order of nature is getting closer to God.”

This brings up two concepts I will explore: mathematical harmony in nature, and the music that harmony makes as expressed by Pythagoras through today’s sonification of the Large Hadron Collider’s Higgs-Boson (“God particle”). Bear with me. There’s pictures 😉

God said He is evident in nature. He said that it is so plain, on That Day no one will have any excuse for not seeing it.

since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20)

I’ve often pointed to Fibonacci as one example of this. Fibonacci numbers are used in the analysis of exchange markets, in strategies such as Fibonacci retracement (in financial mathematics), and are used in computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique. They also appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruitlets of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone. The sequence is used in architecture, math, seen in nature, music is based on it.

What IS the Fibonacci sequence that is prevalent the foundation of so many disciplines? The series begins with 0 and 1. After that, use the simple rule: Add the last two numbers to get the next. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987… and so on.  The end result is mathematically structured, architecturally pleasing, biologically intelligent, it is also beautiful–

In musical scales- “Notes in the scale of western music are based on natural harmonics that are created by ratios of frequencies. Ratios found in the first seven numbers of the Fibonacci series (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8) are related to key frequencies of musical notes. Fibonacci and phi relationships are often found in the timing of musical compositions. As an example, the climax of songs is often found at roughly the phi point (61.8%) of the song, as opposed to the middle or end of the song. In a 32 bar song, this would occur in the 20th bar.” source

For laughs, Fibonacci in cartoon:

The above cartoon shows an unconventional sports application of the Fibonacci numbers (left two panels). (The right panel instead applies the Perrin sequence).

One form of divine revelation is nature through its creation which teaches us about God. Mathematicians have not been able to explain why this sequence is so ubiquitous across so many disciplines but acknowledge it occurs too frequently to call it an anomaly.

That Plato was able to see the divine in the universe and attribute it to scientific order was revolutionary in his day, when it was supposed that the many gods fighting with each other was what caused chaos in the heavens and upset for the people on earth. It was the reason he had to code his findings. It was blasphemy. His own teacher was executed for publicly discussing the concept and Plato was at risk for even thinking it. But he did think it.

Fallout for the Plato Code undoubtedly will be ongoing. The author says the impact of what Plato had coded is as big as if archaeologists opened a tomb and found Jesus diary. He also likened it to the missing link between science and religion…However, these things are not revolutionary for bible believers. (I hope). Paul wrote about in Romans thousands of years ago. The LORD’S harmonizing presence in nature is also expressed in the Psalms and in Job, among other books, that are even older than Romans. However, if this philosophy paper on the Plato Code has the impact on secular culture today in the mind of even one lost person, The Plato Code will be a treasure beyond all compare.

On to the second concept: music. Sorry this is long. I don’t like long blog entries myself. The Plato Code guy said that “Plato used a regular pattern of symbols, inherited from the ancient followers of Pythagoras, to give his books a musical structure. A century earlier, Pythagoras had declared that the planets and stars made an inaudible music, a ‘harmony of the spheres’. Plato imitated this hidden music in his books.” Wikipedia says this ‘music’ is not literally audible, but a harmonic and/or mathematical and/or religious concept.”

It was made audible this week!

Immediately I thought of the new sound library from the folks at the Large Hadron Collider. Last week they announced that they had found a way to sonify, or put to sound, the music that the Higgs-Boson subatomic particle makes when it crashes and then reverberates. Their search for the Higgs-Boson, known as the “God Particle” is supposed to be the glue that holds the universe together.

In a background news article published in 2008 explains:
“In the wake of centuries of effort to seek deep connections between music and mathematics, a team today concludes that music does have geometry. More than 2000 years ago, Pythagoras discovered that pleasing musical intervals could be described using simple ratios. And the idea of the so-called musica universalis or “music of the spheres” emerged in the Middle Ages which said that the proportions in the movements of the celestial bodies – the sun, moon and planets – could be viewed as a form of music, inaudible but perfectly harmonious.”

It IS viewed as a form of music, inaudible but perfectly harmonious as confirmed by an upload this week:

“But Richard Dobson – a composer involved with the project – says he is struck at how musical the products of the collisions sound. “We can hear clear structures in the sound, almost as if they had been composed. They seem to tell a little story all to themselves. They’re so dynamic and shifting all the time, it does sound like a lot of the music that you hear in contemporary composition,” he explained. Although the project’s aim is to provide particle physicists with a new analysis tool, Archer Endrich believes that it may also enable us to eavesdrop on the harmonious background sound of the Universe. … And Mr Endrich says that those who have been involved in the project have felt something akin to a religious experience while listening to the sounds. … “It’s so intriguing and there’s so much mystery and so much to learn. The deeper you go, the more of a pattern you find and it’s fascinating and it’s uplifting.” (It is God who made that pattern.)

You can go to the LHC sounds library (loads slow) and listen to the universe, the music of the spheres, the musica universalis, that Pythagoras proposed existed over 2500 years ago. Or click this link to an MP3 to listen to one of them and click here to read an explanation of what you are listening to.

Kepler, 20 centuries after Pythagoras, turned his attention to Pythagoras’s concept of musica universalis, in studies on chronology and “harmony,” the numerical relationships among music (Fibonacci numbers), mathematics and the physical world, and their astrological significance. He wrote in his Harmonice Munde (1619) that he wishes “to erect the magnificent edifice of the harmonic system of the musical scale . . . as God, the Creator Himself, has expressed it in harmonizing the heavenly motions.”

Proving once again, that “since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20)”

Trouble! Israeli gas find agitates Lebanon, claims it’s theirs

Posted on by elizabethprata

On Friday, June 4, I posted a piece titled “Israel poised for prophecy fulfillment“. It involved the prophecy of Gog-Magog in Ezekiel 38-39 where Israel is surprise-attacked by a coalition of nations that include Turkey, Iran, Russia, and others. In Ezekiel 38:13 it is prophesied that neighbor nations stand by and watch the attack coming, crying out,

“Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?'” Ezekiel 38:13

It has been suspected that the ‘great spoil,’ or plunder sought after by the coalition could be oil or natural gas.

Well, Israel has discovered both, and in the natural gas find off the coast of Haifa, a double blessing continues. In 2009 the biggest gas discovery in the world was made by a U.S.-Israel consortium at a site called Tamar. The site is estimated to contain 238 billion cubic meters. Then another field was discovered near the Tamar site. The site is called Leviathan, and it is estimated to be twice the size of Tamar!  A news article out today states the obvious, even if one is not familiar with the prophetic implications of a jealous enemy: “Israeli gas boom could ignite trouble.” The article explains that Lebanon is claiming part of the field as within their own territorial waters. The article reveals that the Arabic-language Lebanon newspaper As-Safir ran an article stating: “Israel prepares to steal gas fields in Lebanon’s waters” and reported that if Israel tried to take the gas Lebanon would defend it. The conflict of words between Israel and Lebanon over this field is heating up tremendously even over the last day or so. Lebanon has asked Cyprus to help them determine maritime boundaries.

Here is a good editorial piece from Israel’s Haaretz newspaper that looks at the situation from a geopolitical point of view. It’s called  “A geopolitical game-changer” and the piece sets the current situation into context as to the import to Israel and the Middle East as to this discovery, what Israel’s options are, and where could Israel go to create an energy corridor to export this natural resource.

Whether politically or prophetically we see the Gog-Magog battle coming into view. This battle is considered important because it is the gateway to the tribulation. As this battle ensues, Israel is about to lose. In order to protect His Land and His people, God supernaturally wins the battle for Israel and everyone sees it and knows it. This act brings Israel back onto covenant with God and likely it is this very battle that initiates the 7 year peace treaty that begins the Tribulation.

” ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. (Ezekiel 38:10-11)

The LORD is speaking to Gog, Chief Prince of the nation Russia. The land of unwalled villages is Israel, spoken of  in the previous verses, Ez 38: 8b-9:

a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

Of course, Israel is not now living in peace and safety, but the wars that precede the Battle of Gog/Magog are the Isaiah 17:1 propecy of Damascus (Syria) being destroyed into a heap of ruins and the Psalm 83 war in which Israel is completely victorious in defending an attack from her near neighbors. After these two victories, Israel stands down, thinking she has finally fought enough to win the right to relax…and that is when Gog steps in. The coalition takes the tiny nation completely by surprise and she is on the verge of losing when:

Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.  I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’ (Ez 38:18-23)

 Whoa! That is pretty devastating, But wait, there’s more!

“Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of  Meshech and Tubal.  I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand.  On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.  I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD. (Ez 39:1-6)

This natural gas find IS a game-changer. Except … unless you know the Lord, you do not know how MUCH this could be the end of days game changer of ALL game-changers. Tensions have increased. Enemies are jealous. Threats are made. Allies are enlisted. The pieces are moving inexorably together until, when they are finally fitted, the tribulation begins.  I can almost hear the trumpet call.
