UNTIL The Lion of Judah Roars

"Sword" Vs. "Faith"...or both?

GOD Says,
"Sword" ok for now, but...
One day we are to grow our "faith"
So that, We can have what Jesus had,
As will the 144,000 (Revelation 14:1-5, 12)

This is why the 2nd Amendment is so valuable --
Necessary to preserve all other amendments/rights.
Our Founding Fathers clearly understood this concept,
Rather -- a natural tension between immature Christians, and
"...[that of] a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature
Of the fulness of Christ:🔹

Or, There would NOT be standing here today as we speak,
"The Land of the Free, And The Home of the Brave"!

Jesus told Peter that his immature faith would fail him
In the time of the soon coming crises (Jesus on the cross)...

So, for this time, Peter and other apostles were to take up arms
To guard themselves, per Jesus' precise instructions...

Even if they had to sell a "garment," and buy a "sword" with the money,
For their protection as well those with them, according to Luke 22:31-38.

God didn't want the 11 to die at that time - but their faith was weak,
And they needed help, until the time they would be "converted"
And could then "strengthen the brethren" —
Luke 22:32

Peter said he found "two swords" in the corner of the room
Where they ate the "Last Supper" & Jesus spoke, "that's enough"
These "swords" were NOT some nebulous symbolism.

The mistake Peter made, though, was that he thought
Jesus needed protection. Nothing was further from the truth.

Jesus reminded Peter, that when you rely on earthly protection
(which God allows) be prepared to die by the very arms you picked up
For that purpose, as stated in Matthew 26:50-53

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have "the faith of Jesus" one day
(Revelation 14:12), so that we can count solely upon God
To come roaring down from His "Holy Mountain,"
To be our "Sword" on which we rely!

"The LORD shall go forth
as a mighty man,
He shall stir up jealousy
like a man of war:
He shall cry, yea, ROAR;
He shall prevail
against his enemies"
Isaiah 42:13

"The LORD also shall ROAR out of Zion,
And utter his voice from Jerusalem;
And the heavens and the earth shall SHAKE:
But the LORD will be the HOPE of his people,
And the STRENGTH of the children of Israel.

"So shall ye know that I am the LORD
Your God dwelling in Zion,
My Holy MOUNTAIN:

"Then shall Jerusalem be holy,
And there shall no strangers
Pass through her any more"
Joel 3:16-17

The Man Electric

All living upon the earth were vibrant and electrically charged. All was light and beauty. Colors were dazzling, with much more intensity and variety than known today. Man had ability to recognize spiritual dimensions and emanations unknown by him today. The animal kingdom however still has retained a little of these qualities. They are able today to sense the things we cannot see, smell, hear, touch or taste.

Canines are able to taste and distinguish separately the individual favors, which have been thoroughly mixed together in their food. They are able to distinguish smells apart from all the other smells. They hear specially made dog whistles - we can't. These are rather mundane examples, that just touch upon the most spectacular among all our senses, which have been lost to us and lost (to a lesser extent) among our domesticated animals. Yet among the creatures of the wild, their senses remained heightened, though not as originally designed.
CHANGES in Nature

From the time of Eden to our present day, there had been many changes in the DNA of creatures which live upon this Earth. There was never death, so all living things were plant eaters. They gained their sustenance from the electrically charged vibrant green growth, the brilliant colorful flowers, or their fruits, nuts and seeds produced.

The animals which now prey on other living creatures, over time, had developed the tools necessary for such an existence. Their claws and teeth grew longer and sharper. The lions and tigers in God's original Garden had duller, shorter and more rounded claws and teeth, as they peacefully munched on the vegetation.

HOW DO WE KNOW THIS?

It appears when animals (or man) which have eaten meat previously and then switched to a plant based diet, that eye teeth become less prominent - apparently receding back into the head. Meat
eating is also related to more aggressive behaviors, and is (according to one web site) connected to length of eye teeth. See the info below.

"... Your canine teeth, also called eye teeth, are located to the left and right of the lateral incisors. These teeth may indicate your personality. If you 

are an aggressive and powerful person, your canine teeth are pointier, more prominent, and longer than your lateral incisors. If your nature is to be more passive, then your eye teeth tend to be more 

flattened and less prominent. If you are a complete pushover, then you probably have very tiny canine teeth (quick—go check a mirror!)."God has promised, all this will be restored in the Earth made new: "The lion will eat grass like the ox" - Isaiah 65 

We marvel at the complexity of the Hubble telescope, with its ability to focus for days on a (supposedly) piece of empty real estate in the vast cosmos, and see many galaxies peppered across the Creator's heavenly canvass, clear back to almost the beginning of time/space. Yet, this telescope is an invention of mere mortals, and cannot begin to be compared to God's living biological machines of wonder, and beauty, delicately timed and "fearfully made."

ORIGINALLY, God had endowed our first parents with telescopic and microscopic  

vision. Even after the Great Flood, our DNA still had fewer mistakes then we have now.

Most (like the Hubble) could train their vision upon distant stars and with persistence recognize the planets within our Solar System (as well as those further out) - identifying the rings of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune.  *  [1]

Ellen White, a gifted and Godly inspired writer, understood that Adam could see the purposes of God, in the equations visible to his eye, on every leaf and flower, spiritually connecting in concert with his microscopic vision.

In heaven, we will "grow up as calves in the stall," eating 12 manner of fruits, producing an abundance of varieties throughout the 12 months of the year, and including the "leaves of the tree for healing." We will revert back to God's original body design plan; growing to full size, which will reach somewhere (give or take a couple of feet or 2) 

around 10 feet to over 15 feet in height - as well as width, in proportion. 

Once again we will become creatures of electric neon light (Malachi 4:2; Revelation 

22:1-5), as was and is Jesus, along with His shocking, glowing white curled mane, that will also mark His closest followers - the 144,000 (Rev.1:12-16; 5:5; 10:1; 14:1-5 see Ezekiel 1:26-28, as well).

HERE IS A SNIPPET OF Ellen G. White's thoughts on the "holy pair," as they were before the entrance of sin (which afterwards caused our world to grow dark). We have lost out on the beneficial electronic regenerating plasma charges surrounding the bubble that encompassed our globe.  

__________________________________________________________________

The First Students.—
The holy pair [Adam and Eve] were not only children under the fatherly care of God, but students receiving instruction from the all-wise Creator. They were visited by angels, and were granted communion with their Maker, with no obscuring veil between. They were full of the vigor imparted by the tree of life, and their intellectual power was but little less than that of the angels. The mysteries of the visible universe—“the wondrous works of Him which is perfect in knowledge” [Job 37:16.] afforded them an exhaustless source of instruction and delight.  

The laws and operations of nature, which have engaged men’s study for six thousand years, were opened to their minds by the infinite Framer and Upholder of all. They held converse with leaf and flower and tree, gathering from each the secrets of its life. With every living creature, from the mighty leviathan that playeth among the waters, to the insect mote that floats in the sunbeam, Adam was familiar. He had given to each its name, and he was acquainted with the nature and habits of all.

God’s glory in the heavens, the innumerable worlds in their orderly revolutions, “the balancings of the clouds,” the mysteries of light and sound, of day and night,—all were open to the study of our first parents. On every leaf of the forest, or stone of the mountains, in every shining star, in earth and air and sky, God’s name was written. The  

order and harmony of creation spoke to them of infinite wisdom and power. They were ever discovering some attraction that filled their hearts with deeper love, and called forth fresh expressions of gratitude. – {CE 207.1}

So long as they remained loyal to the divine law, their capacity to know, to enjoy, and to love, would continually increase. They would be constantly gaining new treasures of knowledge, discovering fresh springs of happiness, and obtaining clearer and yet clearer conceptions of the immeasurable, unfailing love of God.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 50, 51. – {CE 208.1}

The Jonah Generation

WE MAY have discussions over whether or not Jonah was swallowed by a "whale" or "fish," but the KJV Bible says both "whale" & "great fish":

1) Jesus says in Matt.12:40 - "Jonas was in the whale's belly...".
2) then in Jonah 1:17;2:1 it reads - "Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah....Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly."

Yet there are those who wish to argue that neither can be true. Of course, in Jonah, "the LORD" said He "prepared a great fish." So, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that God "prepared" a special "fish" - just to swallow Jonah. Yet, many times it appears God works "with nature" to bring about most miracles.

A WHALE SHARK's MOUTH is certainly large enough to accommodate several humans. THEN 
there is one, Mr. James Bartley, who in February 1891 whalers found still alive in a sperm whale they had caught. He had been there around 48 hours, and his skin was bleached white. Yet, there are those who are skeptical of this story. You may read of this documented account (as well as Marshall Jenkins, a similar story) in the link listed at the bottom of this page. 1


HOWEVER, armed with this information, we can deduce that Jonah's fame and MISfortune preceded him, THOUGH it would seem that even back then, people were skeptical of such "tales." What then would God do, in order to add credibility to Jonah's testimony, in order to bring about a mass conversion experience, as The Book of Jonah relates?

It was a "3 day journey" toward Nineveh. Jonah's white skin and white hair gave him a ghostly appearance, and he was filled with the Spirit of God. As he walked wearily on, mile after mile, he resembled a beacon of light on approach into that wicked place. The people were affrighted to see such a ghostly "light" approaching their despicable town, filled with the horror stories of their conquests - the skins of their enemies tacked on the walls within their God-forsaken boundaries. It was then that Jonah became the greatest preacher that ever lived. For this most wicked generation of 
this most wicked nation, realized that this "tale" was true.

Jonah's life was a mere reflection of the horrors that Jesus endured, Who is our example. THOUGH, as we compare BOTH Christ's experience and Jonah's OWN great conversion (as well as that of an entire nation), we may draw some parallels to the future experiences of the 144,000.

IN ORDER to turn Jonah's skin and hair that white, there had to be some natural bleaching that took 
place from the animal's stomach acid. It is said that living tissue is not digested by this acid. Nevertheless, Jonah had gone through a very tough ordeal. This fright would have also caused Jonah's hair to become stark white (a scientific reality).2

This is true in Jesus' case, as well. The endurance of God's wrath in the Garden (sweating great drops of blood) two scourgings that would have killed an ordinary man; and His complete separation from God the Father on the cross, in order that His humanity could die. All this caused a shock to His whole system - his hair was no exception.

We see that, after Jesus' resurrection, He appeared as a ghostly "spirit" to the apostles in Luke 24:37. AND to Mary Magdalene, Jesus was seen (I imagine) as a distinguished elderly white-haired gardener, tending the tombs in John 20:14-16. John the Revelator saw Jesus with the curly "white like wool" hairs of a wooly lamb in Revelation 1:14.

"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength"

Stress may curl your hair. Yet there are other ways curled hair can be the result - if it is either "sheared" off as in Isaiah 53:7, or "plucked off" as in Isaiah 50:6. Cancer victims sometimes have hair grow back curly, after it has fallen out due to radiation poisoning. Once, when I was around 12, my hair was cut real short and it grew back in very curly. Others may tell you that this is the natural tendency of short hair, if it has a little natural curl to begin with. 3

We know these prophecies (mentioned above) concerning Jesus were "fulfilled" to the fullest, as spoken about by Jesus in Matthew 5:17-18 and on the road to Emmaus, in Luke 24:25-27.
Now at the beginning we talked of Jonah and the 144,000. The 144,000 will go through a similar experience as Jesus had, except more in line with the situation, character and feel of Jonah.

God tells us that there is another "great whale" out there, that He has prepared for us in Ezekiel 32:2 and Romans 9:17, as well as Revelation 11:8. Like Jonah the 144,000 will need to have a GREAT conversion experience BEFORE we can do a GREATER work than Jesus did (as He told His apostles in John 14:9-16). This work will indeed be similar to Jonah's work - in that whole towns (and "nations") will turn to God.

WHY?
Because we, like Jonah, will appear as a beacon of light. We may not have the bleached skin, but the very hairs on our head will be white, from the most frightful experience of a lifetime. And like Moses, our head will shine bright with the glory of God (Exodus 34). Afterwards, "a GREAT MULTITUDE" will see with their own eyes that our message is sent from God. We will be seen as the "sign of Jonah."4

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a GREAT multitude, which no man could number, of all NATIONS, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands" (Rev.7:9).

SO WHERE IS THIS "WHALE"?
God says that the ruler of this world will be likened to "Pharaoh" of old, that he sits upon many waters as a "whale" of the sea (Ezekiel 32:2). The plagues that are poured out in the LAST DAYS, are similar to those plagues that were poured out in Egypt (compare Rev.16 to Exodus 12). It is sad to say, but we have become likened unto that of "Sodom & Gomorrah," as Revelation 11:8 points out, and as Jesus warned, Saying: "which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt." God allowed the first great "Pharaoh's" heart to become hardened, as well He will allow the LAST GREAT "Pharaoh's heart to do the same (see Romans 11).

LAST DAY PLAGUES are similar in kind, to that of Egypt's plagues before the great Exodus of The Israelites to The Promise Land, filled with "milk and honey." We are pilgrims looking to that heavenly Promise Land - but first, like The Israelites of Old, we must survive the plagues here on Earth!

Jesus regarded the experience of Jonah as a prophecy of Himself, in several respects. Jesus recounted one of them in Matthew 12:40 - "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Jesus was not only buried "in the heart of the earth" he actually began His suffering, as He clung to "the heart of the earth." That is, in Gethsemane Jesus was pulled down to the Earth by a force stronger than gravity - it is called, the sins of this world.

It was at that moment that Jesus was thrown into the roiling sea of sin. The weight of the world's sins had thrown Him overboard. The GREAT whale of sin had swallowed Him. His Father allowed it. In reality, by our sin, we are telling Jesus we do not want Him as Lord over our life. In fact, sin is murder dwelling in our deceitful heart (Jer.17:). If we could see, we would see ourselves as pulling Jesus down off His throne.Gethsemane  marks the countdown to the FULL "THREE days and THREE nights in the heart of the earth." Jesus would have died, if it were not for an angel that came to strengthen Him to then take that long road to its very bitter end (Luke 22:43-44).
Yet, the Spirit of Prophecy, points out that prophecies will have a second fulfillment.

HOW IS THAT?
The 144,000 will be swallowed also by a Great "whale" - "Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt [USA], and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion [Muslim] of the nations, and thou art as a whale [& dragon] in the seas [of sin - the "waters" of "multitudes"]: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubles the waters with thy feet, and fouls their [pure] rivers [where God's people drink from]" (Ezekiel 32:2).*

*"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" (Rev.16:13-14) 

•"Lion/Muslim" - the prophecies of Revelation 9 refer to the Muslims, as "lions" - having "the teeth of lions" (vs.8) and "the heads of lions;" and that "out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone" (vs.17). Does 9-11 come to mind?
•"Whale/dragon" - these are attributes attributed to Egyptian rulers, in Ezekiel 29:3; 32:2 - and pointing to the prophecy in Revelation 11:8.
•"Egypt/USA" - then these 2 become associated, because of the prophecy in Revelation 13:11. "Beast" in this prophecy is a reference to a kingdom. The USA began as a young "lamb with 2 horns" because of its Christian ideals of (1)civil liberty and (2)religious liberty. "Speaks" is a reference to a nation's laws.
•"Seas/waters" - represents a "multitude" that The Roman Church sits upon in Revelation 17:15, who also has "daughters" (other churches) that have sold themselves to her, as would a "harlot," as John writes in verse 5.

ADD EVERYTHING UP TOGETHER, and you have a three-fold union of "the dragon [Rome controlled by Satan, speaking thru a man/anti-Christ], the beast [USA, in co-operation with Rome, "speaking" thru her laws], the false prophet [apostate Protestantism who points to Rome, as a "spiritual" Christ on Earth, that has taken the place of the real Christ]" (Rev.16:13-14)

LAST DAY PEOPLE have been thrown into a "sea" of sin, engulfed by the turbulent "waters" of "peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues," that Rome sits upon (Rev.17:15). They will be swallowed up by a great "whale." The people of God will "wrestle" as did Jacob, over his sin, his circumstance and his sorrow for the wrongs committed (Gen.32:24-32). They will be turned around from their Jonah like rebellion, and finally vomited out on a worldly shore of wicked inhabitants. They will preach the greatest message ever preached to a dying world. Multitudes converted, as they see the evidences of the sign of God in their "white haired" experience, and their faces will shine as the sun, as the truth is poured out upon a dry and thirsty land - then will we see "The Son of man" coming in the clouds of heaven on horses of white hot fire.

Jesus is coming as our victorious "KING OF KINGS" to take us home, that we may finally "rest" a great "rest" in our heavenly abodes (Rev.19:11-16;Isaiah 66:22-24).

4 I know a lady who was told, she looked like Moses coming off the Mount. This was after she had attended a 7 day health seminar, where she had been anointed by the Holy Spirit for a special work (unbeknownst to anyone in attendance at this seminar, even herself). It has taken nearly 30 years for her to finally discover this fact. So this was not a one time only case with Moses (or just a prophecy pointing to Jesus) - this can be a modern phenomenon.

"I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires but on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force.

Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of people would die for Him." 2

"Everything in Christ astonishes me. His spirit overawes me, and His will confounds me ... I search in vain in history to find the similar to Jesus Christ, or anything that can approach the gospel." 3

The "NAZARITE"

Jesus, Our Nazarite in Heaven

Jesus was placed in that failed town of Nazareth, as a testament. That we can grow wherever God has planted us. Environment, misfortune, ruin and degradation - all can be overcome! Jesus brought once more, great light to that special secluded mountaintop village. Once again the hills reverberated with Psalms of joy, peace, restoration, hope, truth and love, through the voice of One Who creates - Who can and has re-formed the clay. It was Jesus Who brought spirit and life             back into those darkened surroundings (Isa.9:2-3).+

The villagers all benefited from His presence there, when Jesus a boy and young man worked as carpenter side by side with His adopted father, Joseph. Many a times, the neighbors were blessed by 
His sweet lilting voice that, even the birds hushed to hear Him sing. Heavy burdens were lifted off bent backs, as spirits soared, catching in the distance, His melodious tunes wafting through the air, as a cooling breeze upon a sweltering summer day.

Did Jesus then think of the strong-man Samson (that misguided Nazarite) redeeming Israel at the 
last, by the pulling down of the two pillars he was tied to; and who willingly ending his life for the redemption of his people, Israel?

Did Jesus ever think that He would one day hang between "two pillars" as He contemplated eternity, suffering the wrath of God as a sinner, and the giving of His life for the redemption of His people Israel - just as did the strong-man Samson? (Judges 16:23-31).


The "two pillars" were then as 2 crosses, symbols of the unrepentant Jewish Nation on one side, and the repentant Jewish Woman Church on the other - of which both represent 2 pillars of God's Church. (Old & New Testament, the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation 11)

OR, did Jesus think of that faithful prophet and high priest Samuel, a Nazarite, ruling as the representative of the Heavenly King and God upon His throne? And How that ancient race rejected Him [God's pre-incarnate Son] as King and opted for an earthly substitute, the Old Testament Saul, of the Benjamin tribe. Was Jesus now going to be in that position (He thought) as a Prophet Who came in His Father's name, but rejected as King? After all, Jesus was just a boy, in a town called "Nazareth"-was that important, He thought? (1Samuel 8:4-7)

The proper noun "Nazarite" comes from the Hebrew word "nazir" meaning "consecrated" or "separated." Did Jesus know that He was the Lamb "separated" from the fold to be "consecrated" for sacrifice? YES - Jesus' Spirit was awakened, at the age of 12 (the age of manhood*) when He witnessed His first "Passover" lamb sacrificed. As the lamb lay upon the altar, the high priest took a sharp knife, quickly slitting the innocent victims throat, and catching the copious flow of blood into a large bowl. It was then that Jesus saw the high priest as he disappeared into the holy place, to sprinkle this offering of blood upon the furniture, as an offering of redemption for the people.

Jesus did clearly see that He was that "Lamb slain from the foundation of the world," an offering of substitution for man - for though He was 12 (a man now), He stated to His guardians Mary and Joseph, "I must be about My Father's business"! Yet still His young mind only comprehended that one day He too would lay upon the altar of sacrifice, as His throat would be slit with a sharp knife. Who could blame Jesus for thinking that this type of death would be His lot? Even that of a mature mind would most likely think the same. Regardless, with just this type of death Jesus had envisioned for Himself... It still sent chills down His young spine! Little did He grasp the true horror of it all! (Exodus 12:1-8).

Jesus was also fond of calling Himself "Son of man." Where did Jesus get this title? Was it from Ezekiel, who also appeared to have taken the vow of the Nazarite. Ezekiel was the only human (almost) in the Old Testament to have this title "son of man" conferred upon him by God, with the exception of just once to Daniel (in Dan.8:17). And then in Daniel 7:13, only once was the pre-incarnate Christ described as such, in all the Old Testament. Other than that, there were only 13 other nondescript references scattered throughout Psalms, and in Numbers, Job, Isaiah and Jeremiah - none attached with special significance, other than loosely applying to the human race, in general. The rest were in respect to Ezekiel, and you may count 93 places where God personally called Ezekiel, "son of man"! (Which was just about in every chapter). In fact, it would seem an unlikely title for Jesus Christ, as He IS the Son of GOD, and most definitely not as impotent as the FOLLOWING Psalm would indicate:

"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help" (Psalm 146:3).
So, why would Jesus be inclined to call Himself, "Son of man"? It appears that considering Daniel 7:13 is the only actual reference to Him as "the Son of man," this was not alone the deciding factor - in that, Jesus would apply any biblical reference to the test of Isaiah 28:9-10, whereby we are admonished to lock in Biblical text meaning with "precept upon precept, line upon line."

SO, WITH THAT IN MINDJesus would have most certainly referenced Ezekiel. Did Jesus see Ezekiel, as a Nazarite Who resembled Himself, and with respect to the coming siege upon the Jewish Nation in 70 AD?

•"And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
•Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
•Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

•Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
•Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
•Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations" (Ezekiel 5:1-11, read also to v.17 KJV).

Once you understand fully what it means that Adam and Eve were made in God's Image, and connect the vision of Adam's form to that of describing God's Son, before His incarnation - a formidable fiery-red figure (set forth in Ezekiel 1:27) Who led Israel through the long desert; And that Eve's form represents that of The Father (the blue sapphire pavement of Ezekiel 1:27 & Exodus 24:10), with the long veil or "train" that filled up His throne-room (as Isaiah 6:1 tells us). 

Then you may grasp why it is that Jesus wore His hair as that of a train, or bridal veil upon His head. Yet, where is that "rainbow" Nation representing the "bow" of The Holy Spirit, stretched across the figures of Father and Son, described in Ezekiel 1:28 - OR Eve and Adam in their Garden, as that of Jesus in Revelation 10:1?
PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR more info on this Holy Spirit Nation, in a future "Post."

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

God's Son was already revealed in the Old Testament, now it was time for His Father to be revealed. And that part required that He wear the long hair of a Nazarite, as would a woman described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11. But Christ was also there as Himself in physical form - just as Adam had been present and had contributed a piece of himself, in order for Eve to be revealed.

Adam had carried within his body the DNA for Woman. For he had both the "Y" and "X" chromosomes of the male and female (so Adam was the first Nazarite). Nevertheless, Adam had to be put to sleep in order that Woman could be totally revealed, as her train of locks fully unfurled about her feet, filling the space around her. Christ was put to sleep, in order for Woman Church to be visualized, as coming from within Christ, Who is the Last Adam (2nd Man-1 Corin 15:47-49); and in order to represent The Father, in the closing hours of the "day," so that Woman Church would follow in His footsteps exactly, that she may receive "His Father's name in ...[her] forehead," as her veil fully envelopes her form (Rev,14:1).

Now imagine that the last 6,000 years is as a long day. And that long day is the creation of Adam, then Eve/Woman, "the mother of every father's family" (Gen.3:20-21). Adam was created first, and called "the son of God" (Luke 3:38). His creation is a representation of God's Son. Then note that God walks a long time with Adam in the garden, Eden. God shows Adam all the rivers and treasures. He then shows him all the trees, including the forbidden tree, and the tree of life. Adam even gets to name the animals - And 2/3rds of the day is gone, before Adam even notices that he is missing something - an "help-meet."

The last 1/3rd of the day is spent building Woman, in order that Adam might meet His bride, marry her and discover their "nakedness," - all before the sun sets in the horizon on another day (Gen.2:7-25). Adam's sleep, after 2/3rds of the day was gone, marked Jesus' sleep, after 2/3rds of our history had past (4,031 years hence). It has taken nearly another 1/3rd (2,014 years) of history to pass, as Woman Church nears her completion date - will it really be another 17 years, before Woman finally is ready to meet her husband? And is it JUST Jesus that she must meet, before He comes to tie the proverbial knot?

AND FINALLY - where is The Holy Spirit represented in all this - shouldn't there be another Nation out there by now? Then it is hidden - just as The Holy Spirit has been hidden from "plain" view, ever since sin entered the picture. If He is NOT hidden, then why is it we are like Adam and Eve - still wearing just "Lamb" skins to cover our "nakedness"? The 144,000 will have the token evidences of the Holy Spirit - a glow even brighter than that of Moses coming off of Mt. Sinai! A glow that cascades all down, around and about their bodies, unfurled even to the feet, just as Jesus appears on the horizon - to escort His bride back to His Heavenly Garden home.

MY THOUGHTS:
for thousands of years, and even in most 3rd world countries today, manhood is considered as reached by the age of 12. Yet, here in the USA we coddle our 12 year old young adults and keep them as children and immature until the age of 21. Thus fully they give us what we want. Most do not disappoint. Even so, any that desire to be independent, is seen as rebellion. Nevertheless, the damage is done.

We have crippled our young adults - though most remain defiant, until they finally leave the nest, and spread their wings to fly. It is not recommended that 12 year olds must leave their home - or that any should leave, even later in life (except for reasons of marriage-Gen.1:23-25). God expects that 12 year olds should begin to take on more responsibilities, make some decisions for themselves, and be given useful employment. With that would be seen as dignity in the young person. In its wake would follow a deeper respect for their elders, as they see the requirements of becoming an adult, THAT THERE IS ALSO WITH THAT the weighty responsibilities in decision making (and the consequences thereof).

"He Shall NEVER Taste of Death"

"He shall never taste of death"
JOHN the Revelator knew he was living in "the last days":
"Little children, IT IS THE LAST TIME: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby WE KNOW that it is the LAST TIME" (1 John 2:18).
JOHN DID NOT EXPECT TO DIE - For did not Jesus say:
"Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [John] do? Jesus saith unto him [Peter], If I will that he [John] tarry [be alive] till I come, what is that to thee [why is that your business, Peter]? follow thou me" (John 21:21-22).
YET SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG - Jesus DID NOT COME in John's day. But 
Jesus put in a "fail-safe" in His words, just in case this indeed was to happen. What is that?

NOTE: "fail-safe" is (in this case) another term for Jesus/God"couching" His words in cryptic language, in order that, if future events do not unfold due to no fault of God's, but due to human failings, then these words can either be taken as meaning something else altogether, or symbolic for a later fulfillment. God did that with the prophecies of The Old Testament (when the Jewish Nation failed to believe); AND Jesus did the same in Matthew 24:3, WHEN: "THE DISCIPLES came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, WHEN shall these things be? and what shall be THE SIGN OF THY COMING, and of the END of the WORLD?"   

JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD, without telling them WHEN the end would be. They remained under the impression that the END would be in their time. Jesus had no idea WHEN the END would be, because He said so in verse 36: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY FATHER ONLY."
YET, apparently Jesus, at least thought to Himself, that John will "tarry [be alive] till I come.." - yet, He dared not make TOO POSITIVE a statement, so Jesus told Peter, "...what is that to thee?"

SO WHEN JOHN DIED, there were those disciples that were left to explain what Jesus said to Peter; AND at that time, Christians actually thought they had misinterpreted Jesus' words. TODAY, most think Jesus in no way shape or form, meant anything like it sounded:

"Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should NOT die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; BUT, IF I WILL that HE TARRY [still be alive] till I come, what is that to thee?" (John 21:23 - read all of 21-24).

Did Jesus use excessive technical expressions, or did they fail to believe Him? Jesus did couch that clue with "but if I WILL" - well it's also God's "will" that we believe Him. The Jewish leaders (and people) failed to believe, through much of the Old Testament and down on through Jesus 1st Coming as a man.

NATURALLY, if people are not willing to believe God, then God's "WILL" is to change His 
plans, or delay His coming - or however you want to call it, if you don't want to say that, "God delays His 'Coming' or promises," or what have you, then what else do you call it?

WAS THAT THE CASE - was/is Jesus' 2nd Coming "Delayed"?
God's timing is always perfect. He saw that His people would have trouble with unbelief, so all that was built into His plans. NEVERTHELESS, God also wants to show us how things could have been different. So yes, we are responsible, as well.

How is it we can interpret Jesus' words to His disciples in Matthew 24, which actually described literal events that would happen when John was STILL ALIVE - such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of the Jewish Nation, some mere 40 years later (Matt.24:15-22)? We interpret most 
of Matthew 24 as double fulfillments, because some of the things Jesus mentioned did happen in John's day, but these same words are also symbolic of OUR LAST DAYS.

ALSO, THERE ARE OTHER CRYPTIC WORDS:
Proof that God has to work around our actions is evident in other places in scripture - such as in Matthew 16:27-28

"For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be SOME STANDING HERE, which shall NOT TASTE of DEATH, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."  

THE DISCIPLES that were still alive, after "PETER, JAMES, and JOHN" were dead, did they have to go back and re-interpret what Jesus meant by THESE words? Seeing that these 
THREE apostles DID see Jesus in His GLORIFIED BODY in the following Chapter 17:1-2; then our scholars say that is what Jesus MEANT as, "...till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

BUT DID JESUS REALLY MEAN THAT? 
AFTER ALL, Jesus said, "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father WITH HIS ANGELS; and THEN he shall REWARD EVERY MAN according to his works."
Yet, are we FORCED to reinterpret His words, because of OUR FAILURE to believe? EVEN Jesus' three closest friends (Mary, Martha & Lazarus) did NOT believe His words of "LIFE" - yes, REAL LIFE - here and now PRESENT LIFE - with no fear of DEATH, AT ALL!

HERE IS LAID OUT FOR US, JESUS' GREATEST MIRACLE:
It was recorded for us in John 11. Lazarus became sick while Jesus was just a little way off in another town, IN ORDER that Lazarus would NOT BE PREVENTED from DYING, Jesus stayed away "for 
the glory of God" (v.4).

When Jesus arrived, Martha confronted Him, and later, so did Mary. Both were deeply hurt and both said: "if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died" (vs.21, 32). These words seemed rehearsed. That is, Martha and Mary must have oft repeated these words to each other.
Jesus admonished Martha for her unbelief: "Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (Vs.23-26).

HERE ARE THOSE WORDS AGAIN:
"I AM the RESURRECTION, and THE life: he that believeth in me, THOUGH he were DEAD, yet shall he LIVE: And whosoever LIVES and BELIEVES in me shall NEVER DIE. Do you BELIEVE THIS?"

Jesus was letting Martha and Mary know that they already have access to LIFE, through BELIEF in HIM, "The RESURRECTION" - and that, it is not necessary that anyone DIE, when a person KNOWS Jesus and THIS TRUTH. BECAUSE, they WHO BELIEVE, and are presently alive, they "shall NEVER DIE."

This is why "Jesus wept." Jesus, when confronted by Mary, and with the very exact same words as Martha, knew that these words had been rehearsed over and over again, while waiting for Jesus to "show up." Instead of joyful belief in the knowledge that we need NOT EVER DIE, they exhibited faithless unbelief, and (in-between all the overdone wailing*) steadily chanted: "if [The Master] hadst been here, [our] brother had not died." (*usually there were paid professional wailers for prominent citizens).

What may appear as words of "faith" (to us) may actually be words of "doubt." Jesus, in an instant recognized gross unbelief present at Lazarus' wake, especially when Mary chanted the exact same sentence to Jesus that Martha had - "if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died." And "When Jesus therefore saw HER weeping, and the Jews ALSO weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled" (v.33).
RAMPANT UNBELIEF, such as this, caused Jesus to have to dig down deep into into soul, in order to overcome the demon spirit of unbelief present - "He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled."
It is a demon spirit present, that causes us not to believe Jesus words: "I AM the RESURRECTION, and THE life.... whosoever LIVES and BELIEVES in me shall NEVER DIE. Do you BELIEVE THIS?"

THIS IS THE SAME SPIRIT THAT WAS PRESENT IN THE LEADERS

When Jesus said in John 8:51 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall NEVER see death."

And in verse 52 "Then said the Jews unto him [mocking], Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall NEVER taste of death."

Will the 144,000 need to not only believe these words, but run with these words as MADMEN upon housetops?

"Madmen" you say? Yes, let us compare that statement with:
A) John 10:20 "And many of them said, He [Jesus] hath a devil, and is MAD; why hear ye Him?" OR, in Mark 3:21 "And when His [Jesus'] friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him 
[Jesus]: for they said, He is BESIDE Himself."
B) Acts 26:24 "And as he [Paul] thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art BESIDE thyself; much learning doth make thee MAD." (Paul, when the enemy of Christ, was then a "mad" fellow AGAINST believers - v.11).
C) Hosea 9:7 "The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a FOOL, the spiritual man is MAD, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
(also consider Acts 12:15; 2 Kings 9:11)

THEREFORE take warning, in the LAST DAYS we will ALL be "mad." WE WILL EITHER BE "mad" for GOD, or we will be as "mad" as the DEVIL is now! (Joel 2) 

Can We Do M I R A C L E S?

                                           my other website: marioncheek.wordpress.com
I was listening last night to the George Noory interview of Greg Braden and the natural power field that, not only surrounds us, but all of our so-called "empty space" (which I, like our host and guest, believe that it is NOT empty)- and he spoke with (& saw) people/monks who could levitate, etcetera - [sounded like they were the Buddhist monks and nuns of China (but really am not sure)- are there Buddhist nuns?] - he also saw miraculous healings. That they claim to access this field by their own thoughts.

Well, it is true that our thoughts DO affect the field around us, & therefore the outcome. Yet, there is a caveat. Our thoughts and actions, must show that we are accessing this power through an entity (or entities) connected to our spirit. OUR OWN SPIRITs are TOO WEAK TO ACCESS these powers on our own.

WHY IS THAT?!?
It happened right after the fall. HOWEVER, BEFORE THE FALL, God had given Adam AND Eve some natural abilities (how much is unclear). Yet, when they sinned, they switched their allegiance, from God, to the serpent. Thus it made them too weak to access natural powers on their own. God's Son immediately stood in the gap, and gave us a second option to use - power directly connected to God. All other connections are indirectly from God, such as connections made through demons - or, in ignorance, use of biofeedback (not knowing from where the power generates - so neither should anyone speculate, as to whether this source is of God, or of demons). IN FACT, I did access this "biofeedback" power when I was a young lady and desperate to rid myself of migraines. Of course, it also helped that from the age of 14, my mom told me that I could make my headaches go away. Everybody believes their mom, right? It was later when I realized the connection between my health problems and diet. The problem was not in my lifestyle (at the time). I was an avid cyclist, swimmer, "sun-worshipper," rest and work advocate, and I did eat a pretty healthy diet - but I needed to take it to another level.

ONE THING IS CERTAIN - we absolutely need to be connected to a "spirit" source, or a direct link to God Himself. As in the case of Peter, when seeing Jesus walk on water; Peter asked if he could try it - Jesus bid him come, but as soon as Peter took his eyes off of his DIVINE SOURCE (which was JESUS) then Peter began to sink. He urgently called out for Jesus to save him (Matt.14:25-33).
Jesus tells us, that we will do "greater" works than He did, but we are never to take our eyes off God (John 14:12). All other miracles, if not of God, are of the devil (Rev.13:13-14).

NO ONE REALLY BELIEVES THAT, right?
That's Right - BECAUSE we have these "self-help" books. The MOVE NOW it seems, is towards more of a prominent "spiritualist/spiritualism" type of belief system. The theme is to acknowledge that "spirits" exist, and that "yes, they can assist, when it is necessary, but actually I can do this on my own - thank you very much." These modes of belief will fit right into the hands of the coming worship system of our "One World Government." How can that be? Our Government is NOT interested in worship? Okay if that is true, what was Ronald Reagan doing with the Pope, in bringing down communism? Then why does Revelation 13:8-9 tell us: "And all that dwell upon the earth shall WORSHIP him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear."

Ah hah, but this is the catch! Oh, but we have the proof:
1) levitation
2) "self-healing" and/or "group healing"
3) a mixed bag of "miracles"-
NOT! well, NOT without the "spirits" helping (unbeknownst to us - HEY, they are not called "spirits" for nothing, you know). SO ONCE AGAIN:

1) It is either GOD helping you (for He is "Spirit" - John 4:23-24), OR
2) GOD's angels (they are called "ministering spirits" - HEBREWS 1:14). OR
3) Fallen angels, also called "demons." AND/or some ADHERENTS of this system could have the help of their leader, Lucifer, otherwise known as that serpent, the old devil, the great dragon - kicked out of heaven in Revelation 12:9. 

THERE ARE NO DEAD LOVED ONES, ACTING ON OUR BEHALF
WHY NOT? Because the dead are asleep - all, except for a few handful, like Enoch, Moses, or those taken as the "firstfruits" after Jesus' resurrection. The dead are asleep in the earth, either to awake to newness of life, or to face JUDGMENT DAY for their crimes committed while on Earth. The punishment phase of that decision, carries with it the death penalty. (death, meaning DEATH, not some disembodied state). GOD GIVES A VERY STRONG WARNING ATTACHED TO SPEAKING TO THE DEAD (so called).

A] I will gladly Email you THE VERSES for sleep,
B] Likewise, THE VERSES for the determined end of HELL and DEATH and SIN
C] and VERSES for the END of WICKED PEOPLE (and all of the pollution brought to our world)
OKAY, now back to the scripture that proves we are too weak, in our present state, to completely utilize the electric field that surrounds us, etc.

~Hebrews 1 & 2 explains: We are made a little lower than the angels (for now). Yet we are still God's "crowning glory" - in that, we will be higher than not only the angels in heaven, but also higher than all the other created beings on other worlds (Heb.2:5-7). No, we cannot contact these beings. They are sinless, because they never ate from the test tree planted in the midst of their gardens. We have been quarantined on this prison planet, until our scheduled release date (Heb.1:2;11:3).
~Don't forget - Peter walking on water needed to keep His eyes on Jesus. He had no natural power of his own (Matthew 14:25-33).
~Adam & Eve in the garden, having to toil by sweat (Gen 3:17-19).

Noah Ate Meat?!

MY FRIEND WRITES FROM HER PHONE:

Genesis 9:1-3 says: 

"Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all of the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, now I give you everything. Everything that moves..."

Everything that moves... That is saying we can eat meat isn't it???

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
HERE IS MY ANSWER IN A "SLIGHTLY" AMENDED VERSION:

FIRST OF ALL, to be fair, let us look at that complete text. To get the full context, verse 4 has been added - here is what the King James states: 

"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat" (Gen.9:1-4)

"Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you" does NOT mean we can eat "swine or mouse," (consider Isaiah 66:17, that Last Day Text) - no more than it means we can eat our fellow man, either (well, humans could also be considered as "Every moving thing that" - if you were to use that same theology).

Yes, God gave Noah and his family permission to eat ("clean") meat (see groupings in Genesis 7:2-3) but with a caveat, Noah was to drain every drop of blood from the clean variety of animal.

WHY?!

Because "blood" not only carries "life" in it, blood also is used to clean the system of debris, disease and waste matter (poo poo stuff-such as "uric acid" or it's other name - "pee pee"). Okay - now, we got the technical language out of the way --

There were 2 reasons for God's decision:

1) No other food was available.  Everything was destroyed.  The only plants, fruits, nuts &amp; seeds to eat were on the Ark, and were mostly for the animals that God designed for them never to eat meat.  (In other words, a chicken is not designed to eat meat, because most likely his intestines could not handle it properly; beside the obvious reason - chickens do not have teeth). [If you have a question or wish to dispute this, then I can speak to this further].

God wanted to shorten man's life, because the longer man had lived, the more wicked he had become (see Gen.6:3). 

NEVERTHELESS, (later on) GOD NEVER INTENDED FOR HIS PEOPLE TO DEPEND SOLELY ON MEAT, AS THE MAIN COURSE.  And in the LAST DAYS, GOD DESIRED THAT HIS PEOPLE return back to the original diet given ADAM and EVE; that is, the diet God gave them after they had sinned.  Which is, Besides FRUIT, SEEDS and Nuts, AFTER SIN, God HAD to include the HERB of the ground, the veggies (which were originally JUST for to the animals to eat, before sin).  But we needed such things as broccoli to keep cancer from taking over our bodies (we have cancer cells all over our bodies, but are usually destroyed by the killer cells our bodies produce). IT IS THE DIET THAT GOD GAVE DANIEL and the 3 worthies, in Daniel 1:12.  

DANIEL is called THE LAST DAY PROPHET.  He points us to REVELATION [these two prophecies interpret each other].  IF we do not eat the diet that Daniel ate, we are NOT physically cleansed of the diseases that animals have in their flesh.  Our government, the "king" has appointed that we eat what they give us - diseased animal flesh, shot up with antibiotics, hormones and fed a flesh and M &amp; M diet (ask me about that - compare Dan.1:5).

God does not say it is a sin to eat "clean" meats, but they have become as poison to us - animals concentrate the pesticides, bacteria, etcetera in their flesh. So the adage that our plants and fruits have poison sprayed on them, does not hold water.  It IS much worse to eat the diseased flesh! (So, get the very best fruits and veggies you can afford and pray over them, and any poisons will be neutralized, as Jesus promised in Mark 16:18). The 144,000 are to be as modern day Daniels and the 3 worthies. 

God will give the clear-headed, disease free 144,000 great "knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom." They will have none of the diseases that the "Egyptians" have here in Amerika, as God promised the Israelites in their wilderness experience in Deuteronomy 7:6-8, 15. The 144,000 will not get that mysterious "Morgellons Syndrome" - because a pure diet sweeps away all the little metallic nano-bugs out of the system; therefore, they will not be "gnawing their tongues" in pain from disease's strange sores, as in Revelation 16:10-11 (read - Rev14:1-5; Dan.1:8-21; Ex. 15:26).

AFTER THE GREAT FLOOD, which covered the whole earth for many days, the entire world had been turned inside out and the dead creatures were buried by God with a great wind, turning large mountains completely over and burying them deep into the earth, so that they would produce oil later for us.  The plant life had been buried as well, in order to produce coal (and I believe the plants produce diamonds - labs can now produce diamonds with coal).  

SO ALL PLANTS WERE COMPLETELY GONE and there was an awful amount of water still sitting on top of the ground and even a lot of the earth was water-logged. Though none of the animals had ever eaten meat (and that includes lions, tigers, bears and pandas. Noah and his family had never eaten meat before the flood. The thought of it disgusted Noah - it may have been the tipping point for him to make wine and get drunk! As Genesis 9:21 states. It probably was disgusting to the animals as well - consider "Little Tyke" the vegetarian lion, and the recent story of the vegetarian shark (poor babies). [did you note that I snuck in a sharp-toothed vegetarian animal in that list of 4 toothy mammals?].

NONETHELESS, BEFORE the FLOOD, Noah and family had actually seen that the vicious hybrids and degenerate beings had begun to eat meat.  Canabalism was a problem in the PRE-FLOOD world (and will be again! Read Lamentations 4:10 - Yuck. The people who are used to eating animal flesh will one day want to eat people, who may be easier to catch).  HOWEVER, this let Noah know that the flesh of animals could actually be digested and that this type of diet could sustain a person - otherwise, he might have doubted God's okay to eat flesh. 

Noah was afraid then, that since there was not much other food to eat, except flesh, he was thinking the animals would turn on him and his family.  So that is why God made them fearful of man (Gen.9:2).  Before the flood all creatures were friendly with man, EXCEPT, the HYBRID BEASTs. 

Devils taught wicked people how to make these aberrant creatures, through the splicing of DNA genes.  The "giants" were also made by splicing the DNA of animals with man's DNA (all of humankind are a hybrid of some sort. Scientist have cracked the code of our DNA and found that most of us have Neanderthal /aka Bigfoot genes. Though a small group may not have these same results, everyone on this planet has spliced DNA with some sort of animal mixed in - the scientist have seen the actual "splicing" done on our codes).  Scientist are 
hesitant to give the general public the full story, as well as some "in-the-know" evangelist, because of their fear of being seen as a racist! 

WHY "RACIST"?

BECAUSE, most of these people think that not everyone's DNA was tampered with.  LET's get real - there is no one left on Earth that looks like Adam and Eve looked. ADAM was clearly a man of vibrant color - mostly RED  - that is, various shades of RED. WHY? Because when you do a Bible search, you will find that this was Jesus' color before His incarnation, and afterwards when John the Revelator saw Him in His temple (Rev.1:15;10:1; God's Son is called "the last Adam"- 1Cor.15:45,47-49). And Adam's name means "red clay." You can know Eve's color as well [you may want to ask me about that later].

WE CAN KNOW THIS AS A FACT

GIANTS were not half man and half angel - that is an actual impossibility, in that angels are "spirits," not made of "flesh."  

"...Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire" (Hebrews 1:7 KJV).

  

Also, "the sons of God" described in Genesis 6:2 are people who had given their life to God, as John1:12 and 1 John 3:1 tells us. NOT fallen angels (as MOST people interpret Genesis 6:4).  HERE IS one of several SCRIPTURAL PROOFs:  

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become THE SONS of GOD, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12 KJV).

Fallen angels can inhabit a person's body, but they have no sperm to contribute to offspring, as Jesus said in Matthew 22:30. The angels are an unisex flaming fire - try mating with "fire" someday!

OKAY, my brain has shut down, I'll talk about this later, maybe.

God bless, Marion
