  2. Science journals are useless when discussing Genesis, or any other aspect of the Bible. You have no evidence whatever to that effect. In neither those places nor any other did God say that anyone was promised to live that long or could not live longer. The only person you ever convinced with that lie is yourself.
  3. This "firstfruits" ceremony was not one of the seven sacred feast days. It was a wave offering of the first green ears of the barley harvest. Lev. 23:10-14 But it was not a "a holy convocation."
  4. It all becomes connected to their plan... who created the Federal reserve? Piatt Andrew, Henry Davison, Arthur Shelton, Frank Vanderlip and Paul Warburg – met at the Jekyll Island Club, off the coast of Georgia, to write a plan to reform the nation's banking system. Who were the original members of the Jekyll Island Club? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgUDGq4RTNlfPrMhQ9kVlfq9oNXOGCZtoXZa2dreEdFA&s In 1886, the island was purchased by the Jekyll Island Club, a turn-of-the century vacation resort patronized by the nation's leading families. Club Members included such prominent figures as J.P. Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, William K. Vanderbilt, Marshall Field, and William Rockefeller. The Federal Reserve does not own gold Some say:Its not Federal and there is no Reserve. The institution that is the Federal Reserve operates independently from the US Federal goverment. It was created circa 1913 using federal legislation in a very nebulous and underhanded political manipulation by the uber wealthy of the day. It has not been audited as to its finances in a very long time, if ever. Using federal legislation ,The Federal Reserve does not own gold It has not been audited as to its finances in a very long time, if ever. So while our US Federal Constitution specifically states that our money will be gold or silver coin, with minting controlled by the federal government, somehow this entity continues to exist. Perhaps the long history of banks making up their own debt instrument notes, and the power this gave them over finance and thus politicians, is responsible. Is the federal reserve a ponsey skeme? Anytime "money" (currency) comes into existence as a debt, then it requires more an Hmmm... What Is a Ponzi Scheme? Is Fractional Reserve Banking a Ponzi? Well, what are the characteristics of a Ponzi? d more money to pay interest, otherwise it would soon all be in the hands of those charging the interest (banks). This is what makes inflation a REQUIREMENT, and thus more money (debt currency) must keep coming into the game or the game stops. = PONZI or Yes, and no. New bonds are issued all the time to cover expenditures of all kinds including P & I on maturing bonds, but a Ponzi scheme involves selling to new investors to pay off old ones and eventually running out of funds because not enough new investors can be found, The Reserve Banks are decentralized by design and are located in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco. Do you have any answers? Federal Reserve Banks' stock is owned by banks, never by individuals. Federal law requires national banks to be members of the Federal Reserve System and to own a specified amount of the stock of the Reserve Bank in the Federal Reserve district where they are located. what do the Balfour declaration and the federal reserve have in common? The Balfour declaration got going when Britain conquered Jerusalem in ww1 after signing the Balfour declaration in 1917 --------------- The reason why Israel exists. It's got little to nothing to do with the Holocaust and religion. Israel was created after a conglomerate of bankers offered to help the UK win WW1 and then WW2, they did this with loans to US companies and more loans to the Soviets, once the war was won, twice, the British gave these shareholders the mandate of Palestine, which was agreed in the Balfour declaration. We live in a debt based society, where Capital is owned and disseminated by private organisations, loosely attached to a government or independent of it. The US dollar for example is owned and controlled by the Federal Reserve which is about as Federal as the Federal Express, it's a privately owned company with shareholders. The value of the dollar is derived from the fact that it is the currency used to settle international transactions for oil, which is why it's called "the Petrodollar". Petroleum is the lifeblood of any economy, either by obtaining it, or being able to sell it, the Nazi's learnt this the hard way, when they tried to win a war with coal and wood powered tanks at the end of WW2. These privately owned financial institutions make money from loans, the more/bigger the loans a government makes, the more interest they can collect. This is why every nation has a "National Debt". In most cases the productivity of the nations citizens is used as the collateral for that debt. In the UK they need to have a "National Insurance Number" in order to work, because they are the Nation's Insurance against it's debt obligations. Governments are in a position where they are unable to be independent from reliance on private financial creditors. The National Debt increases year on year, and with each new electorate, it only increases further to maintain their campaign promises. However, if you're completely dependent on needing access to credit, have overbearing debt obligations that you're obliged to honor, or are reliant on the purchase/sale of hydrocarbons to run your economy, and then fhese financial institutions don't like you, then you're ***ked.For example, Saddam Hussain tried to sell Oil for Euro's instead of Dollars (the main difference being is that the European Central Bank is owned by a different bunch of shareholders than the Federal Reserve) and this upset the Federal Reserve, who loaned the US and UK government over $1 trillion to make sure that stops. "Or what about Libya, Gaddafi wanted to create a gold backed Pan African currency similar to what the dollar used to be like before Nixon took the dollar off of the Gold standard. Not having a gold standard is great for institutions, because it means they can make even more loans without worrying about having enough gold as collateral for them. So the banks loaned loads of money to several Nato governments to make sure Gaddafi went bye bye too. Because the most expensive thing a financial institution can loan money for, is war! Ask yourself this, why has the entire globe seen less than 60 days of peace since the end of WW2? Because tanks and planes cost more and have way less longevity than hospitals and schools. If you're a financial institution, you can approve the loans for weapons to destroy, the schools and hospitals, and once they're destroyed, you can then approve the loan to rebuild them. You don't like it? Well no oil for you. War is the most profitable business when you live on a planet of debt slaves. These institutions got their first taste of genocide for oil in the Native American oil Rich Midwest of the United States. When demand outstripped supply they needed other sources of black gold. Iran and Saudi have already brokered a deal with China's help, this is all about OPEC threatening the petrodollar again. The Banks still don't have total control of all the Capital despite controlling the institutions that facilitate the transactions. These institutions are also on life support, because technology like Bitcoin could essentially make them redundant overnight, in a way that would be much more transparent, cheaper, faster, less reliant on war and debt, and make Capital weponisation or sanctions much more democratic and expensive. Which is why they're now desperate to start WW3. Because war generates the most revenue in terms of interest on loans."
  5. I didn't read the other posts. This is not something I pray we can answer lightly. A marriage takes two so there are always another side to the story. Looking back at my own marriage (together over 40years) I made a vow not just to her but to my GOD/Father. Love never thinks of self. That is one of the hardest things to learn because this flesh loves to only think of its self. No matter what I do Christ is still there loves me how can I love her any less then how He loves me. Love never thinks of self. That love you share with the other is one of the greatest rewards. I can not say any of this without the foundation Christ. We are still married because of HIM not what we did. Let it be written all thanks and praise be to Him forever and ever and ever amen. There is no sin He didn't die for. Two that become one.. this means to much to GOD but as the song says which was to young girls but still the message is the same "if you've done it and you wonder what to do, go to Jesus He will make you brand new". We forget our GOD can do anything. Sarah who was how old? Yeah.. She even laughed at Him who said "what is two hard for the lord?". Yes we have our own will yet He can whisper like no other. My son when he was 4 ooh he really liked Adina in preschool. Yet she would have nothing to do with him. So I said we'll pray. I said when were young we can hear God so easily but as we get older .. we get in our own way. So we prayed. I think a week or two later I came to pick him up.. always early. He gets up.. over to my right Adina gets up comes over hugs him. Yeah.. He as so happy. Yet in all this He cannot go against our will. So in my life.. there is only one answer YES.
  6. You're constantly getting blindsided by facts, because I bother to look things up in science journals. And yes, knowing what one is talking about, is a huge advantage. Wow, that's an old one. I remember some guy from the ICR saw a curve in biology book and found that if he messed with the X axis a bit, it would fit the ages of patriarchs. I pointed out to him that those ages were limited to patriarchs and prominent people in the Bible, and that God specifically stated human lifetimes were much shorter. Three score and seven or 120, depending on interpretations. So it went away, at least at that time. One place He says three score and ten. Another he says 120. Why won't you just believe Him? As you learned, the "days" of creation are not literal days. The text itself says they are not. Why won't you just believe Him? Since you absolutely reject God's testimony in Genesis, you're constantly getting caught in your own contradictions.
  7. Hi sis.. I see what your saying but if I may. There was this God that said OT "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed" For you He said " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." He has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. The song playing is Petra and its true "it is finished". I love the saying "you don't have any problems all you need is faith in God". I just listen to Russ Taff he was talking about when he was young how he would drive this paster around who just went home. Haha Russ said he only had his suit coat and it was 9 degrees and Jerry (man of God) said "believe God for it". Lol Russ said but Jerry its 9 degrees out of kindness give me a over coat Jerry said "believe God for it" So he as getting ready to leave to take Jerry back and this guy comes up to Russ with a over coat. The man said I have two of these and the lord told me to give this to you. HAHA Russ RUNS to Jerry saying "Look what GOD did for me". Russ called Jerry when he won his first Grammy saying "look what GOD did for me" Sarah laughed at God who said to her who was so old "what is to hard for the lord?" Do you see? :) I don't speak of what I do not know only what I know and have experienced.
  8. by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – According to preliminary data from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), April 2024 recorded an unprecedented number of tornadoes, making it the second-highest number in history with 300 reported incidents. This figure significantly exceeds the monthly average of 182 tornado touchdowns typically observed in April. The record was set in 2011 when a staggering 757 tornadoes were documented. Last month, an unusual surge of tornado activity swept through Nebraska and Iowa, states that typically see fewer tornadoes in April compared to the usual hotspots of Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In the final week of April, a series of violent thunderstorms wreaked havoc across the central United States, culminating in a devastating outbreak of over 100 tornadoes between April 26th and 30th. This intense activity marked a significant spike in severe weather incidents, with tornadoes touching down on 18 different days throughout the month, according to the National Weather Service. The period was notably brutal, with at least six fatalities linked to the tornadoes, all occurring in the month’s tumultuous final days. Among the most severe incidents, long-track, intense tornadoes struck eastern Nebraska and western Iowa on April 26, with nineteen tornadoes confirmed around the Omaha area alone. Five of these were rated EF3, marking the strongest tornadoes to hit the region since June 2014. The following night, on April 27, the first violent tornado of the year, rated EF4, devastated areas southeast of Ardmore near Marietta, Oklahoma. This was the first EF4 tornado in Oklahoma since May 9, 2016, and the first confirmed EF4 or stronger twister nationwide in over a year.

  10. Marital Union in Heaven, and in Creation, Part 4 Second Stage of Holy Marital Union: Israel – A Covenant of Soul Every one of the stages in the marital Chain of Events is essential to the whole Creation, forever. Adam and Eve became “one flesh.” Gen. 2:24 “Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matt. 19:6 God’s purpose in joining man and woman in marital relationship will not be undone by the ascension of His elect into heaven. The next fundamental marital union in Creation was that entered into between YHWH and the nation of Israel. Like with the earlier marital union of the flesh, this one too began with a face-to-face relationship between God and His people, when the LORD “came down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.” Ex. 19:11 “The soul of the flesh is in the blood.” Lev. 17:11; Gen. 9:4 Nations are primarily made up of people having bloodlines = soul-lines derived from a common ancestor. In the case of Israel, that ancestor was Jacob, whom God later renamed Israel. Now, following the archetypal Chain of Events pattern, God first had to create the nation of Israel, and then separate it out: Genesis 46:2 Then God spoke to [the man] Israel…and said… 3 “…do not fear to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation.” Deuteronomy 26:5 … “My father [Israel] was an Aramean about to perish, and he went down to Egypt…and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and prosperous. … 8 Then the LORD brought us [Israel] out of Egypt…” Unlike the physical/fleshly relationship between a man and a woman, the marital covenant between the nation of Israel and YHWH was on the level of soul. [Hebrew, nephesh; Greek, psuchē.] This marriage covenant was sealed with blood early in the Exodus era, when all Israel stood before God at Mount Sinai: Exodus 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD… 7 Then he [Moses] took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.” 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words.” Despite all of the people of Israel’s later sins, God still confirmed the existence of this marriage covenant over 900 years later, saying through His prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 3:1 … “You have played the harlot with many lovers; and would you return to me?” says the LORD. … 14 “Return, O backsliding children,” says the LORD; “for I have been married [Perfect (past) tense] with you…” The LORD confirmed this, even though Jeremiah 2:27 “…they have turned their back unto me, and not their face…” Yet despite the adultery of the people of Israel, who whored after other gods, the LORD has promised that He will reconfirm this marriage covenant, and restore His face-to-face relationship with the nation: Ezekiel 20:34 “I will bring you out from the peoples, and I will gather you out from the countries wherein you have been scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I have judgment with you face to face. … 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.” Therefore, despite Israel’s adulterous rebellion against the LORD and their marital covenant with Him, He has committed Himself to restore and perfect that covenant in the future. This is the pattern followed for every marital covenant that God has established, and will establish, in His Creation.
  11. The other day I was thinking about something in my life and how its always been there and I was telling the lord.. why is this? Asking for deliverance for who ever calls on His name shall be delivered. You can do anything all things are possible with you and that sweet voice said "I cannot go against your will". So I can :) sail with the wind go where it leads or fight it.

  14. You 'know" more things that aren't true than any other person I've encountered on the internet. The remarkable picture from these lifespans only emerges when plotting them on a graph. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. Only then do we see that the average lifespan of these patriarchs who lived before the Flood lived an average of 912 years. After the Flood, their lifespans began systematically declining, following what’s known by biologists as a “biological decay curve.” A mythical list of ages would be unlikely to take such a predictable, exponentially declining curve. Noah, who was the 10th from Adam, lived through the Flood and died at age 950. Noah’s son Shem lived 600 years; his grandson 438 years. Five generations past Noah, lifespans decline to the 200s. Abraham, who was 10 generations after Noah, lived to be 175. We also have Jacob, when he was 130 years old, stating to Pharaoh that he had not lived as long as his ancestors. Jacob later died at 147. Several generations later we have Moses, living to be only 120. What’s going with these lifespans? They systematically decline along a familiar-looking pattern that statisticians call an “exponential power curve.” Plotting their ages does not reveal a straight-line slope, but a curved one. They don’t suddenly bottom out right after the Flood, nor do they decline evenly. Rather, the lifespans decline along a nonlinear, exponential curve over time. And this curve literally passes every test for statistical significance. Whatever is going on here is not some chance occurrence. Their pattern breaks every possibility of being some fluke. source Of course, you have to deny this because the flood is just one of many, many things in the Bible you deny. Show me where in the Bible is says that those named in Genesis 5 were the only ones to live long lifespans. You can't, because it's not there. Many people understand Genesis 6:3 to be a 120-year age limit on humanity, “Then the Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.’” However, Genesis chapter 11 records several people living past the age of 120. As a result, some interpret Genesis 6:3 to mean that, as a general rule, people will no longer live past 120 years of age. After the flood, the life spans began to shrink dramatically (compare Genesis 5 with Genesis 11) and eventually shrank so that very few people lived to be 120 years old. By the time of the Exodus, almost no one survived to that age. Moses and Aaron lived that long (Numbers 33:39; Deuteronomy 34:7), and Jehoiada the priest lived to 130 (2 Chronicles 24:15). So, 120 years was not a “hard” boundary; rather, it was near the age that an especially healthy and fortunate person could expect to survive. Several hundred years after the flood, Moses declared, “The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:10). Neither Genesis 6:3 nor Psalm 90:10 are God-ordained age limits for humanity. source Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that God set a hard limit on the life expectancy of people. However, God DID say "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it." Since you absolutely reject God's testimony with the Fourth Commandment, you are the last person on earth I would trust to comment on God's testimony.
  15. The historical information is appreciated, @1to3. Accurate, and this reveals the proper frame of reference for current events. This conflict is not as ancient as some claim it to be. It started roughly 107 years ago. I've recently learned the significance of the nation state of Israel to some and how their view is central to theology defined by a peculiar eschatological system. It always struck me as strange, but paying attention to these topics (more than one is ongoing) has helped me to understand. It's still strange of course, but now I'm finally getting it.
  16. Michael: Thank you for that. I need to look into that book. I appreciate your love for the Old and New Testaments. I was thinking… before posting the glory of God’s marriage template in The Torah, I thought it appropriate to see the glorious continuity between the two testaments given to Paul by Christ. Through the lens of the Old Testament, and by the mystery once hidden within it (what it foreshadowed), we see what God wrought: a plan that fooled the princes of spiritual darkness—and Christ revealed this in particular in 1 Corinthians. THE MYSTERY: THE HOLY DAYS To the apostle Paul, Christ revealed why God had hidden a mystery: [W]e speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age knew it. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Cor. 2:7, 8) And the question that should be addressed—and frankly should be addressed by every pastor, every priest, every theologian, and every believer—is this: What is the mystery of God that Christ revealed to Paul in this letter, First Corinthians? Fast forward to Chapter 15. Paul wrote: Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable, and we [alive in Christ] shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. (1 Cor. 15:51–53) By referencing “the last trumpet,” Paul referenced the foundation of the mystery: the Law of Moses. How? The context. In his letter, Paul referenced God’s blueprint for our salvation and glorification—the first five holy days: Passover For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. (1 Cor. 5:7) The mystery hidden in the holy day of Passover (The Torah) is that the Lamb of God would fulfill the Law—and be sacrificed on Passover, and become the perfect sacrifice for sin, ultimately yielding, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” If Satan understood this, he never would have instigated the Crucifixion. Here's the punch line: If we can see this mystery once hidden in Passover, then we can see the mystery in the rest of the holy days that follow in Paul’s letter. The Feast of Unleavened Bread For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Cor. 11:26) Jesus in the burial tomb. Jesus is the bread of life. The Feast of First Fruits But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Cor. 15:20–23) Jesus was resurrected on the Feast of Firstfruits. This feast always fell on the first day of the week (Sunday) during the 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread. Thus, this feast foreshadowed the Resurrection—on a Sunday. The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. (1 Cor. 12:13) Christ baptized His disciples with the Holy Spirit on the Feast of Weeks—a pilgrimage feast. And this is why 1000s of Old Testament believers descended upon Jerusalem to worship. The Feast of Weeks is 50 days after the Feast of Firstfruits. Both feasts always fell on a Sunday. Thus, every year when we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the mystery once hidden in the Feast of Firstfruits, and when we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the mystery once hidden in the Feast of Weeks. “Pentecost” literally means, “count 50.” If we can understand the mystery in the first four holy days (the spring holy days), then we can understand the mystery in the fall holy days—beginning with the Feast of Trumpets, which Paul revealed. The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. (1 Cor. 15:51-55) It’s the mystery in the Law—revealed. And God must follow His own Law. Our Bridegroom will return for us, His Bride, when the Father sounds the last trumpet. The parallel to the marriage template from Mount Sinai is stunning! Marriage template next. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let him who hears say, “Come.” (Rev. 22:17) Peace. revvel
  17. The United nations did not originate in 1947, it commenced under League of Nations established on January 10, 1920 by the Paris Peace Conference. The Covenant of the League of Nations was signed on 28 June 1919 as Part I of the Treaty of Versailles, and it became effective with the rest of the Treaty on 10 January 1920. The main organization ceased operations on 18 April 1946 when many of its components were relocated into the new United Nations. As the template for modern global governance, the League profoundly shaped the modern world. Was the Balfour declaration done legaly? The Balfour Declaration, which resulted in a significant upheaval in the lives of Palestinians, was issued on November 2, 1917. The declaration turned the Zionist aim of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine into a reality when Britain publicly pledged to establish “a national home for the Jewish people” there. The pledge is generally viewed as one of the main catalysts of the Nakba – the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 – and the conflict that ensued with the Zionist state of Israel. It is regarded as one of the most controversial and contested documents in the modern history of the Arab world and has puzzled historians for decades. The Balfour Declaration (“Balfour’s promise” in Arabic) was a public pledge by Britain in 1917 declaring its aim to establish “a national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. The statement came in the form of a letter from Britain’s then-foreign secretary, Arthur Balfour, addressed to Lionel Walter Rothschild, a figurehead of the British Jewish community. Was the Balfout declaration legal to enforce? Journal of Levantine Studies Vol. 8 No. 1, Summer 2018, pp. 101-120Journal of Levantine StudiesVol. 7, No. 1, Summer 2017, pp. 9-34The Balfour Declaration in International Law Introduction: Why Law Matters The Balfour Declaration had enormous political significance, but did it have any legal force? Was it legally binding, exposing Britain to legal remedies for its breach, or was it merely an expression of policy that could be disregarded without legal consequences? These questions are of intense interest to legal historians, but they also have contemporary political relevance. The issue is not so much whether Britain might be liable to the Palestinians for failing to safeguard the “civil and religious rights” of non-Jewish residents of Palestine, though that is a theoretical possibility. Instead, the question is whether the Declaration is legally relevant to the ongoing peace process. The Declaration’s binding character matters because any negotiated settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will take the form of a legal document, and any such document will build on—indeed, be shaped by—the pre-existing legal framework. If the Balfour Declaration is part of that legal framework, then a final settlement to the conflict has to account for the legal obligations set forth in the Declaration, at least in broad terms. The parties have routinely recited the most prominent planks of the legal framework in their peace agreements. The Camp David Accords and the first Oslo Accord, for example, both begin by invoking UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.1 The legal framework is important in another way: it shapes the negotiation process itself. Background legal norms set boundaries for the parties by describing which negotiating positions are acceptable and which are beyond the pale. What is more, the legal framework can define the political “center of gravity” of negotiations https://scholarship.law.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2000&context=scholar Question: In Light of the secret British documents, did Colonel T.E. Lawrence ( Laurence of Arabia) deceive the Hashemite Arabs to revolt against the Ottoman Empire?
  18. Which is how we know that human lifetimes haven't changed significantly over tens of thousands of years. Evidence from ancient graves shows that people didn't live extremely long lives. If you have to invent silly ideas and insist that I believe them, that's a pretty good clue you're out of excuses. Is there anything in the Bible, however obscure, with which you agree with it as it is? Show us that. Hint: God lengthening the lifetime of a few patriarchs does not overrule His word that human lifetimes are about a century long. You're not satisfied with his word, so you've invented your own doctrines. By God's own testimony, they are much longer than the lifetime God set for humans.

  20. Whatever has been uploaded to the world wide web is accessible to AI applications which are given access to the web by the creators and coders. Whatever the AI language model accesses is added to the application's semantic database. What is a semantic database? A database that stores, organizes, and interprets data based upon their semantics. I engineered a semantic database for a JAVA chatbot I coded in college. Who defined the semantics of data captured from end user input? I did. A lack of understanding warps the perception of A.I. language models. Popular media treatments don't help. These AI language models are grossly exaggerated in media presentations, endowed with characteristics that applications simply don't evidence. The very definition of artificial intelligence is the illusion of intelligence. It's fake. Much like the illusionist's trade, fooling observers into believing that the illusion is real is the point.
  21. I knew it. I was just joking around. Well if it was there, I bet you would have found it. I was being a smart alec when I said find it in Daniel. I don't think it's that easy because the NT is based on a different language. "The word "hour" does not occur in the Old Testament until we come to the Book of Daniel, one of the last books written, and the only reason we find it in Daniel is because of a poor translation. The ancient Jews never thought in terms of hours. In the five places in Daniel where our Bibles have the word "hour," the Aramaic word so translated is "shaah," which means literally "look" or "glance" and should have been rendered "moment" or "in the twinkling of an eye." "For instance, in the King James version, Daniel 3 : 6 reads: "And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace." In Dr. Moffatt's new translation, in place of "the same hour," the word "instantly" is correctly used. - Time in Bible Times, Potter, C. F. Page 164. https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?bibcode=1941JRASC..35..163P&db_key=AST&page_ind=1&data_type=GIF&type=SCREEN_VIEW&classic=YES I have other reasons to suspect it's a veiled reference to another of the Prophetic Time periods found in Daniel and Revelation: 1. Time, times and half a time (saints persecuted – Daniel 7:25) 2. 2,300 evenings and mornings (until temple restored – Daniel 8:14) 3. 70 weeks (determined upon the Jews, Messiah crucified – Daniel 9:24,25) 4. Time, times and half a time (when completed, power of the holy people broken – Daniel 12:7) 5. 1,290 days (from the end of the daily to the setting up of the abomination – Daniel 12:11) 6. 1,335 days (blessed is the one who waits for and reaches this day – Daniel 12:12) 7. Half hour of silence (at the opening of the 7th seal – Revelation 8:1) 8. 5 months (length of torture upon those not having the seal of God – Revelation 9:5) 9. Hour, day, month and year (punctiliar event when war begins – Revelation 9:15) 10. 42 months (Gentiles trample holy city – Revelation 11:2) 11. 1,260 days (Two Witnesses empowered for this length of time – Revelation 11:3) 12. 3.5 days (bodies of Two Witnesses lie in the street – Revelation 11:11) 13. 1,260 days (woman fled into the desert – Revelation 12:6) 14. Time, times and half a time (woman fled into the desert – Revelation 12:14) 15. 42 months ( beast was allowed to exercise authority – Revelation 13:5) 16. One hour (ten kings join with beast – Revelation 17:12) 17. One day, one hour (Babylon’s destruction begins – Revelation 18:8,19) 18. 1,000 years (Satan in the abyss – Revelation 20:2) We need to really review the various uses of the Greek "hora". https://biblehub.com/greek/5610.htm It could be a season, a designated period of time, a divinely pre-set time-period; a limited period to accomplish the Lord's specific purpose, i.e. "the hour" in which specific characteristics prevail exactly like that for a limited time, or, based on the context, the final hour of one's life. And like how Ezekiel lay on his side 40 days, each day for a year. He was silent for those 40 days after the Crucifixion until the siege of Jerusalem, when the silence was broken. Heaven, the Prophetic voice spoke: "Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. The one I have in mind now is in the midst of the "week", the middle of the week. That's an example where a designated space of time is already split in half for us. About the space of half a heptad. Thanks Charlie. Both I think. Like how the Two Witnesses lay dead silent in the street for 3.5 days. The Prophetic Voice goes silent. The angels and the elders already know what's happening. I'm afraid there's a big reason for it. The seventh seal is serious. And, unlike some of the members, I don't think those who dwell in heaven are too worried, or apprehensive about witnessing the wicked being punished. The time has come to destroy the destroyers of the earth. Remember the vials: "Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!” Yes thank you as well Charlie for the thread. That Day of Atonement idea looks big to me. Big. I didn't think of it before. It gave me a new path to investigate. There's a guy, C.F. Lovett. The Rock Island Book guy. Remember the Berisheet prophecy video dissecting the first verse of Genesis? Declaring the end from the beginning? That guy has a bunch of videos, he makes me nervous. The ones that have 2024 in the title. He thinks the 70th week begins on the Day of Atonement this year. You and I both know the 70th week was from 27AD to 34AD, but there might be more than one way to calculate a heptad, to count a "seven". Some think we're in another count of the "sevens' right now. Anyway, if you're a video guy, you can search this title on you t u b e: 2024: Mystery of the 4th Day on the LORD'S 1000 Years for a Day Calendar. Take care Charlie.
  22. Av·er·age noun A number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number. Next you'll tell us that you have personally seen the grave of Adam. Is there anything in the Bible, however obscure, with which you agree? Please explain for us how you arrived at the conclusion of "everyone." Nobody suggested that. The evidence clearly shows that prior to the flood people could live a long lifespan. Surely, not everyone did. However, those named lived for several centuries. Such lifespans were not heralded as miracles.
  23. We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position ourselves in our Christ calling. As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly perspective which shows us the importance of helping others with their spiritual lives. If we choose not to heed the leading of the Spirit and become proactive in renewing our minds, it is possible that we will limit God's power and anointing from flowing through our lives because of un-renewed thinking patterns that we are still embracing. You have the potential to believe impossibilities into possibilities. "Everything is possible for him who believes." - Mark 9:23 "I heard the voice of the Lord saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?'" - Isaiah 6:8 As long as you dwell on your own qualities and traits and think about what you are suited for, you will never come to understand your Christ calling. Most Christians cannot hear anything but themselves. And they cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to a place, through an act of consecration, where you can come to recognize your role in advancing His Kingdom by changing lives, is to be profoundly changed. AFFIRMATIONS: I am living proof of the Word of God working in and through me. The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in me -- So, therefore, I walk in His Kingdom power. His fire surrounds me and His Glory dwells within me. The Lord does battle for me. His angels go speedily to do His bidding. All of heaven backs up His Word in my life. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
  24. My my, everything you put forth is always out of sorts with the facts. Stop taking commentary from men and ASK God, He will give you the answers Himself. There are proper commentaries, the problem with using them is you can find one that matches your own confirmations, so its useless then right? Especially if you do n0t say, well 50 said differently, but this agreed with me!! Now I will show you what this means from a deep 40 year study, we over 39 because I put forth this blog about 8 years or so ago. Daniel's 70 Weeks Decree against Israel In Daniel 9:24, Daniel prophesied that these six things must come to pass before this judgment against Israel would be fulfilled. Some think Jesus fulfilled all of these, most seem to think, as I do, that these things have not yet come to pass, and when they do that will be the end of the age. 1. Finish the transgression (Israel must repent before the 70 weeks judgment decree can come to an end) 2. Make and end of sins (Willful sins must end by the time the 70th week decree has ended, so says the prophecy) 3. To make reconciliation for iniquity ( Israel will be blinded in part, until the "Time of the Gentiles" [servitude unto God] has come to pass, via the rapture. Therefore Israel can not repent as a nation until the 70th week has come, but must repent as a nation before the 70th week can end. A 7 year timeframe ) 4. Bring in everlasting righteousness (This prophecy must end with Jesus' Second Coming as Lord of lords and King of Kings ruling on this earth ) 5. To seal up vision and prophecy (All Prophecy must be completed or sealed up by the time the 70th week decree ends, so that couldn't have been 2000 years ago because much prophecy has yet to be fulfilled ) 6. Anoint the most Holy ( Jesus must be anointed King of kings and Lord of Lords before the 70th week can end ) 1. The Hebrew word used for transgression denotes revolt or rebellion. The Jewish people chose to reject God, many chose to stay in Babylon once they were freed. It also denotes their rejection of Jesus Christ. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 23:39 that the Jewish people would not see him again until they accepted him. 39 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. So in order for Jesus to return, Israel has to repent of their rejection of God and Jesus, and Israel will open their hearts to the Messiah, as Isaiah and Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10) and Paul in Romans 11 prophesied, among others. 2. This is fairly straightforward, "willful sins" can only end when the millennial reign starts, so by the time this 70 week decree is over, Jesus will have returned to set up his kingdom on earth, ushering in the millennial kingdom where there will be no more willful sins. Since the tribulation week is the last week of the 70 weeks decree, that makes perfect sense, as soon as the tribulation period ends, or the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, then “willful sins will end”. 3. Israel has to be reconciled unto God before the 70 weeks have been fulfilled. There is no doubt that Jesus died for all of our sins, thus the atonement for sins has been made, but there is a conditional requirement for all of us to receive that atonement, we must accept Jesus as our Savior. When Israel accepts the Messiah Jesus, as their Messiah, then the atonement for sins will have been completed, and Israel will have been reconciled unto God, thereby ushering in the millennial kingdom. 4. This 70 week decree has to bring in everlasting righteousness, and we know this can not happen until Jesus sets up his Kingdom. This world has always had willful sin, and always will until Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. By the time Daniels prophecy ends, it must usher in everlasting righteousness. 5. Seal up vision and prophecy, the word used here denotes to close up, meaning that before this 70th week can come to an end, all prophecy must be fulfilled or closed up. This will only happen when Israel accepts Jesus as their Messiah and he lands on Mt. Zion to rule over this wicked world with a rod of iron. 6. The very last goal that this 70 week prophecy has to usher in is the anointing of the most holy. The bible says most holy, many try to add holy place, but whether it is the temple being anointed, or Jesus Christ as Lord of Lord and Kings of Kings as I suspect, we know this must happen before the 70 weeks decree is fulfilled. And Jesus must return and rule on earth. All six of these things have to happen before this prophecy can be fulfilled in full. These are six spiritual goals that have to come to pass or this prophecy will not be finished or sealed up. We know these things have not come to pass yet, but we also know they are very near to happening, therefore watch, for Israel is now a nation again, and the world is against her, soon she will need her Messiah's help, then she will call upon him, and he will save her from this wicked world. ------------------------------------- So, there is no chance Jesus was this prince to come, its nit even a Capital P, as in Dan. 8: 27 where Jesus is described as a Prince. So, why would Daniel not capitalize the word? Because its not Jesus, its the Little Horn/A.C. who is to come 2000 some odd years after the people of Rome destroy the city Jerusalem. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. --------------------------------------- Remember there were no chapters and verses, the translators added them in, the prophesy is divided wrongly IMHO, if we were to divide the last "THREE VERSES" it should be divided into "TWO VERSES" like this. Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks(49 yrs), and threescore and two weeks(434 yrs): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off(Killed), but not for himself: and the people(Romans) of the prince (A.C.) that shall come shall(during the 70th week or at the end) destroy the city and the sanctuary;(Jerusalem in 70 AD) and the end thereof shall be with a flood(Roman army swamps Jerusalem) , and unto the end of the war desolations are determined(Jerusalem will be desolate unto 1948 when God raised the Dead Bones up again). 27 And he (A.C.) shall confirm the covenant(Agreement) with many for one week(Israel and every nation on the Mediterranean Coastline): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease**(The the A.C. from AFAR causes the Worshiping of Jesus to stop)**, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation(The Anti-Christ defiles the temple as per his orders from afar, until he is killed or CONSUMED), and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ** The Anti-Christ is not in Jerusalem at the 1290, that happens 30 days before the 1260, it is 1290 days away from the 2nd coming while the A.C. only shows up 1260 days before the 2nd coming. Thus this False Prophet High Priest like unto Jason unto Antiochus Epiphanes, (the two Archetypes) will forbid Jesus worship in the temple of God by the 5 million or so (1/3 see Zech. 13:8-9) Jews who repent JUST BEFORE the DOTL arrives in Zech. 14:1 ONE VERSE LATER !! By the way, the Two-witnesses are the 1335 Blessing, they show up 1335 days before the 2nd coming, and this 45 days before the 1290 and 75 days before the 1260. Then, this False Prophet Jewish High Priest will place an IMAGE of the E.U. President up in the temple. Bu the way, the Dan. 9:27 AGREEMENT is simply this, Israel joins the E.U. and that sets EVERYTHING in motion, Gd raptures the Church and His 70th week of penance, designed to get Israel to repent begins**
  25. By Worthy News’ Stefan J. Bos and Johan Th. Bos reporting from the Netherlands AMSTERDAM/AMSTELVEEN (Worthy News) – While alerted Christians prayed for them as far away as Indonesia and other nations, the Dutch held a live televised commemoration for those killed in World War Two and other armed conflicts, without antisemitic incidents. At 8 pm local time, there were two minutes of silence with several thousand people, including the royal family, standing quietly in pouring rain at Dam Square near the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, the capital. There was concern that pro-Palestine activists, who targeted Jewish individuals, including students, a rabbi, an artist, and Holocaust survivors, may interrupt the ceremony. Holocaust survivor Phia Baruch told Worthy News earlier there had been “fear within the Jewish community about possible civil war.” Some 102,000 Dutch Jewish people died in the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, along with Sinti people and others the Nazis didn’t like. Yet there was a sigh of relief when King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were among those singing the Dutch anthem at 08:02 pm. The royal couple was among the many laying wreaths for those who passed away in the horrors of recent wars. REMEMBERING THE FALLEN Youngsters publicly remembered fallen family members and survivors. In nearby Amstelveen, a key suburb with world headquarters of major companies, Mayor Tjapko Poppens seemed visibly moved by the hundreds turning up to remember those who died quietly. The two minutes of silence at Amstelveen’s famed war monument ‘To those who fell,’ in a public park, C.P. Broersepark, passed without incident. Additional police had been deployed in Amstelveen, which was one of several municipalities raising the Israeli flag after Hamas killed some 1,200 people on October 7. Amstelveen, which has a thriving Jewish community, had been anxious about antisemitic incidents after a mother here was threatened by three women because her daughter serves in the Israeli army. While raindrops fell as tears, and perhaps blessings, from heaven, Mayor Poppens spoke and remembered the many who died. Christians in Indonesia, which gained independence from the Netherlands after World War Two, told Worthy News they had been praying for a peaceful ceremony and the Jewish people.

  26. By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News KYIV/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Ukrainian Greek Catholics and others are celebrated Easter Sunday amid reports of heavy fighting as Russian troops were further advancing in Eastern Ukraine. Sunday marked the third Easter in Ukraine since Russia invaded the nation in February 2022. https://www.worthynews.com/wordpressimages/2024/05/WorthyNewsRadioMay5.mp3 Worshipers in churches observing Easter according to the Julian calendar gathered across Ukraine to celebrate Christ’s resurrection amid destruction and death. As the war against Russia enters its third year, people put their trust in the hope of the Gospel, including in Kyiv, where Orthodox believers were seen flocking to St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral. Elsewhere, Ukrainian soldiers received blessings before Easter, when many will be fighting on battlefields against advancing Russian troops. St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral in Kyiv, many received blessings and prayed for peace after hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured in the ongoing war. Their sentiments are shared by the Ukrainian Greek Catholics, who also celebrate Easter this Sunday. The head of Ukraine’s five million-strong Greek Catholic Church, Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, says that “each day probably 200 Ukrainians are killed.” ‘WHERE IS GOD?’ “When a young widow is crying on the tomb of her husband killed in the front line in this situation, [we may wonder] where is God? And that question is a very important and deep religious question,” he told Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). “But God is with us,” he noticed. “Jesus Christ today is [in a way] the crucified body of Ukraine. And He is with the wounds of the simple people,” the archbishop stressed. And the church leader made clear that while Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ from death, the same Lord understands the suffering of people in war. “Very often when I am visiting hospitals, and I see those young soldiers, young civilians with amputations, we have 1,500 amputations right now in Ukraine, I had the feeling: ‘Lord, those wounds are yours’.” And there were more injuries and amputations expected as Ukraine marked its third Easter at war, with Russia launching a barrage of drones in Ukraine’s east, wounding more than a dozen people. Moscow also claimed that its troops had taken control of the village of Ocheretyne, the scene of heavy fighting. Ukraine’s air force said that Russia had launched 24 Shahed drones overnight, of which 23 were shot down. But in Kyiv, people expressed hope and prayed that the fighting would stop and peace would return to this wartorn, shaken nation.
