What Happened?

Genesis 1:3 

Our Creator said "Let there be light."

He separated the light (Day) from the darkness (Night) 

and there was evening and there was morning, a first day.  

 

Yahweh existed in the 'spiritual realm' long before He spoke creation into this physical realm. In the beginning all was good until Satan threw a monkey wrench into the mix.

 

What we know of this earth is that it was reshaped by The Flood, a cleansing long ago which took place because man's thoughts were constantly evil (among other things).  

 

When we look up, what we see as the sky is the whole heavenly host.

 

Astrology is not the same as Astronomy which is why we are given this warning in Deuteronomy 4:19~
​​"And when you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing down to them or serving them. These Yahweh your Creator allotted to other peoples everywhere under heaven; but you He took out of Egypt... to be His very own people."

Yahweh included mankind in His creation and provided a Set of Instructions, an Owner's Manual, to be used in daily affairs as well as spiritual matters.  In following these Instructions mankind would do well, live long and eventually inherit the promised land.  Instead, mankind throws out the first half of the Owner's Manual because he thinks he is smart enough and can do it all by himself now and uses the second half of the Owner's Manual to his advantage once he realized he could control other people who haven't studied the Set of Instructions for themselves.  Therein is the basis for all the assorted religions, beliefs, churches and cults.  Throw out the Instructions and folks will believe anyone who looks like the know what they're doing.  Satan is very clever.

Outer Space was big food for my young imagination! There were plenty of TV shows that kept me hooked - The Time Tunnel; Lost in Space; The Jetsons; The Thunderbirds; Superman; My Favorite Martian and many more.  Life on other planets beyond our galaxy was real to me.  I would stare out into the sky trying to see as deep into space as I could, both daylight hours and nighttime, wishing a starship would come and take me away. I used to draw pictures of flying saucers, beaming down a ray of light that would levitate frightened young girls, still in their night gowns, taking them up into their ships. I had come to believe that aliens came to earth, genetically impregnated the apes mixing their DNAs and created man, the man of evolution stature. Of course, at that time, I had no idea I was standing at the doorway and peering into the void - a world without God the Creator; and this is another successful tool of mass distraction used by Satan.

 

Now lets take into consideration the original City of Babylon.  Genesis 11 is a short reference to this city, but sets the ground work:

Everyone on earth had the same language and the same words. And as they migrated from the east they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. They said, "Let us make hard bricks and build a city and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for ourselves..." When Yah came down to take a look, He said, "If these people of one language can come up with an idea like this, then there is nothing that they set their mind to that will be out of reach. Lets go down and confound their speech so they won't be able to understand each other" (thus putting an end to such behavior). Yah scattered them over the face of the earth and they stopped building the city. It is called Babel (Babylon) because it was there Yah confounded their speech and scattered them.

Out of their pride and arrogance they came together for the sake of their own glory - they wanted to make a name for themselves. Not only did Yahweh confound their speech but He scattered them. Years later the House of Israel was scattered, part of which was exiled to Babylon in Nebuchadnezzar's day. During those seventy years living among the Babylonians many bad habits were picked up by those dispersed Israelites which they brought back with them when allowed to return to Judea. During this timeline is when the new religion of Judaism became woven with mysticism and man's own pride and arrogance, the Babylonian Mindset.

Our Faith is our commitment to Yahweh; we trust and abide by His Instructions. We should not let our pride and arrogance get in the way of His Truth.

Some time after The Flood is when Nimrod rose to power and wanted a city built, a place for his palace to be built, and that place was Shinar.  The famed tower was an attempt to reach the sky, the spiritual realm, without the need for Yahweh.  The Creator wasn't happy with their attempt to reach the heavens, so the question on my mind is: why would we think that space travel is acceptable? 

 

What inspired modern man to want to reach the stars in the first place, in effect making a name for themselves? Is it the same Babylonian mindset?

 

Why does modern man think space travel is important?

NASA says:
Humanity's interest in the heavens has been universal and enduring. Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries.
Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system. Through addressing the challenges related to human space exploration we expand technology, create new industries, and help to foster a peaceful connection with other nations. Curiosity and exploration are vital to the human spirit and accepting the challenge of going deeper into space will invite the citizens of the world today and the generations of tomorrow to join NASA on this exciting journey.

Scientific Communities say:

Space exploration is the future. It satisfies the human urge to explore and to travel, and in the years and decades to come it could even provide our species with new places to call home - especially relevant now, as Earth becomes increasingly crowded.

Scripture Says: 

May you be blessed by Yahweh, Maker of heaven and earth. The heavens belong to Yahweh but the earth He gave over to man. (Psalm 115:15, 16) 

The heavens are the spiritual realm and the earth is the physical realm, which is where man was placed and should remain until the return of Messiah.  Man was made a little lower than the angels (Psalm 8:6) the difference being that angels are of the spiritual realm and man is of the physical realm.  We have no business attempting to leave earth before the appointed time.

Psalm 147:4
He reckoned the number of the stars;
to each He gave its name.
Great is our Father and full of power,
His wisdom is beyond reckoning.

Folks who do not believe in the Word of Yahweh will consider the words of Satan as a basis for truth.  Satan caused Eve to doubt the Word of God and y'all know what happened next - bye bye paradise.  This is the biggest reason I continue to remind you to read Scriptures for yourself.  Study them out and find other truth seeking believers who are not afraid to stand in the faith once delivered as set apart believers in the one true living God.

NASA and scientific communities do not believe in the Word of God but they do believe in the money accrued as funding to further their love of science-fiction.
