"Genetic Bottleneck"

A friend brought this up and it was the first time I heard the term "genetic bottleneck", so I looked it up and here is the basic definition:

A dramatic reduction in the size of a population (as of a species) that results in a decrease in genetic variation.

If you trust 'wiki.pedia' the definition includes: adapting to 'climate change'; mentions a group of Australopithecina as they transitioned into the species known as Homo erectus two million years ago; and the term 'genetic bottleneck' can also be found among other evolutionists. These are red flags for me as I do not concur with the global warming theory or the theory of evolution nor do I believe this old earth is much older than 7,000 years.  That may make one think I might be biased in this study, but as in all topics that I have researched over the years I look at all angles in order to let Him shine His Light a little brighter in order to bring us together in understanding. I always keep Scriptures as the foundation for any study I spend time on and I always suggest others do the same before walking on the wild side.

 

My friend is thinking along these lines:

The human population has crashed before, maybe a couple of times. Once with Noah. The people "saved" could be the survivors of such a crash. Adam/Eve/Cain.... The humans to survive a crash [Rapture] previous to Adam/Eve/Cain were not all in one place, "the land of others". I don't know that my thoughts are being adequately expressed.... in my mind, it sorta makes sense. It does kinda fill the hole in Cain's story, and the reproductive problems with 2 males and one female in Adam/Eve/Cain.

Adam and Eve were physically perfect human beings living in paradise, the Garden of Eden, Yah's Creation. They want for nothing until Satan caused Eve to doubt the word of their Creator.  They were 86'd from Eden and now had to fend for themselves for the most part.  The history recorded in the Book of Jasher lets us know that after Yah drove them away to the east of the Garden is when Adam and Eve began to have children: two sons and three daughters (for starters).  We also read in Scriptures that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters in their lifetime.  With that in mind it is most likely that the boys 'married' their sisters.  The 'gene pool' is in perfect condition and they are abiding the Creator's command to 'go forth and multiply'.

"Genesis is the record of Yahweh the Creator who was there as history happened. It is the Word of One who knows everything and who is a reliable Witness from the past. Thus, when we use Genesis as a basis for understanding history, we can make sense of evidence which would otherwise be a real mystery. You see, if evolution is true, science has an even bigger problem than Cain’s wife to explain—namely, how could man ever evolve by mutations (mistakes) in the first place, since that process would have made everyone’s children deformed? The mere fact that people can produce offspring that are not largely deformed is a testimony to creation, not evolution".

Back to those first two sons: Cain grew up to be a farmer and Abel a sheepherder.  The boys were grown up when Adam gave them a possession in the land and a few years later the boys prepared to make an offering to the Creator.  Cain brought offerings from his crops and Abel brought from his flock.  The reason Yah favored Abel was because he offered the best of the first born from his flock; Cain had brought from his harvest things of poor quality. Cain became jealous of his brother and ends up killing him. Cain left and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.  The Hebrew word, Nod, translates to 'wanderer; exile or fugitive' which is what Cain had become.

"Scripture doesn’t tell us how many children were born to Adam and Eve, but considering their long life spans (Adam lived for 930 years—Genesis 5:5), it would seem logical to suggest there were many. Remember, they were commanded to “be fruitful, and multiply” (Genesis 1:28)."

In trying to understand what my friend thinks may have happened I ask for a bit more information from him.  He shared this:

"In a genetic bottleneck, the population is severely reduced (crashes). Humans nearly became extinct. When Cain left, he went to the "land of others".  If there weren't more people, somewhere, there would be a problem with inbreeding. Same problem with Noah. According to what I read on bottleneck theory, there was one population crash between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago and there may have been one or two other "events" also, leading me to wonder if this "isn't our first rodeo".  Melding bottleneck theory with biblical references just came to me the day before I brought it up to you. But the description of a bottleneck, as you noticed, sounds biblical."

My first thoughts were if something sounds 'biblical' then it is most likely that God said it first. Take time to read from your copy of Scriptures to see the rest of the story.  Man is famous for taking bits and pieces of "God's Word" to weave them into their imaginations in order to prove their 'theories' and prop up science falsely called.  Secondly, and I made note of this earlier, the Hebrew word 'Nod' translates to 'wanderer; exile or fugitive' which is what Cain had become.  In Scriptures the land of Nod is the region Cain went to after being convicted of murder by Yahweh; the land the wandering fugitive was exiled to. In the account recorded in Jasher we read he took all that belonged to him, including his wife.  When his first son was born Cain began to build a city which he named after his son, Enoch.  Seems to me there were no 'others' existing at this time.  It was Cain and his offspring who populated the area and the city Enoch.

Definition of theory
•A plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena
•An ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances
•An hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation
•An unproved assumption; conjecture
•Abstract thought; speculation

Many things happened leading up to the days of Noah, his sons and the building of the ark.  The Creator gave the call to repentance 120 years prior to The Flood and Noah started building the ark 115 years later, after his father Lamech died. Destruction came because of the Nephilim and how great man's wickedness had become (Genesis 6).  Noah was 600 years old when he and his family entered the ark. They weren't 'raptured' but they were saved from physical death because they followed the Instructions given by the Creator.  Noah was faithful and righteous and the perfect example for us in today's world.  If we remain faithful and righteous we will be saved from spending eternity in Fire Lake.

Not much more is said about Noah and his wife, but his sons Japeth, Shem and Ham, along with their wives go forth and multiply. Thus begins another phase of Yah's Creation.  His action to cause a "dramatic reduction in the size of a population" did not result in a decrease of genetic variation.  There were no variations to begin with (aside from the Nephilim whom Yah did not create), the original 'gene pool' was still clean and the idea of marriage to be between one man and one woman became written law much later. 

 

There was no problem with 'inbreeding' back then. Adam and Eve were the perfect clean gene pool from which the population got its beginning. It was the divine beings/angels who polluted Yah's Creation which is why He brought The Flood as a ritual cleansing so as to start over with Noah and his family along with the assorted critters.  The next do-over comes at the return of His Son.  Instead of an ark we have been invited to the wedding feast.  We become ritually cleansed when we accept the Spiritual Gift of Salvation from Yahshua.  Those are the ones who become Set Apart and will inherit this earth after Yah's wrath has been poured out.

One thing is for certain... if we don't trust that Yahweh our heavenly Father created this earth both land and sea, animals and man; gave us an Instruction Manual (Scriptures) and then provided us an escape plan by following His Son's example of obeying those same Instructions... if we don't have Faith in the Good News of His Kingdom to come and life eternal, it becomes very difficult to see the big picture of what is happening in the world today - and the imaginings of man have become very entertaining and enticing. Satan uses weapons of mass distraction that lead many down yond rabbit trail.

More Bad Dancing

There's a new 'feel-good' video being shared across facebook-land of a dance challenge to the song Jerusalema. This one particular video I watched is of nuns, fathers and brothers in a monastery doing the dance and viewers are praising it as something good during this lock down. The lyrics are in African so I had to take a look-see for the translation and then I looked for the origins of such a song and dance.

Jerusalem, my home.
Rescue me,
Join me,
Don't leave me here!
My place is not here,
My kingdom is not here,
Rescue me!
Come with me!
Save me, save me,
Don't leave me here....
My place is not here,
My kingdom is not here,
Rescue me Come with me

To me, this does not sound like a song of praise being offered to the Creator, Yahweh. It should sound confusing to anyone who knows Jerusalem is the center of the universe according to our Creator; it is where His Son will set up the kingdom to come, on this earth. And the choreographed dance steps sort of kind of remind me of a study I did on Messianic dancing - not a good thing either.   Come to find out Mbende Jerusarema Dance is the original fertility dance which has evolved into what folks are seeing today as this Jerusalema dance challenge. If those dancing nuns knew they were dancing to a fertility ritual, do you think they'd be smiling?

Here is a quote from the UNESCO website:

The Mbende Jerusarema Dance is a popular dance style practiced by the Zezuru Shona people living in eastern Zimbabwe, especially in the Murewa and Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe districts.

The dance is characterized by acrobatic and sensual movements by women and men, driven by a polyrhythmic drummer accompanied by men playing woodblock clappers and by women hand clapping, yodelling and blowing whistles. Unlike other drum-based East African dance styles, the Mbende Jerusarema does not rely on intricate foot stamping or a large number of drummers. Instead, the music is performed by one master drummer, and no songs or lyrics are involved.

In the course of the dance, men often crouch while jerking both arms and vigorously kicking the ground with the right leg in imitation of a burrowing mole. The dance’s curious name reveals much about its vicissitudes over the centuries. Before colonial rule, this ancient fertility dance was called Mbende, the Shona word for “mole”, which was regarded as a symbol of fertility, sexuality and family. Under the influence of Christian missionaries, who strongly disapproved of this sexually explicit dance, the dance’s name was changed to Jerusarema, deriving from the Shona adaptation of the name of the city of Jerusalem, to endow it with a religious connotation. Both names are commonly used today. In spite of its condemnation by the missionaries, the dance remained popular and became a source of pride and identity in the struggle against colonial rule.

The dance is changing its character and meaning as its enactment as an exotic animation for tourist audiences becomes more widespread. It is also increasingly used at political party rallies, where it is removed from all its original intentions. The mitumba drum, rattles and whistles, which used to accompany the dance, have successively been replaced by instruments of poor quality, contributing to the loss of the uniqueness of the Mbende music.

 Here is a link to a study I did a few years back in regards to dancing:

To Dance or Not to Dance

Time is running out for us to become fully Set Apart.  I share various topics about pagan origins so as to help others make the choice to 'come out of Babylon', that old feel good worldly system that pleases Satan and makes him feel like a 'god'.

Plagues

Definition of Plague:

: a disastrous evil or affliction; calamity
: a destructively numerous influx or multiplication of a noxious animal; infestation
: an epidemic disease causing a high rate of mortality; pestilence
: a virulent contagious febrile disease that is caused by a bacterium (Yersinia pestis) and that occurs in bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic forms (called black death)
: a cause of irritation; nuisance
: a sudden unwelcome outbreak 

 

We have read in Scriptures about the plagues that befell Egypt prior to the mixed multitude being set free from Pharaoh, who was so stubborn, hard headed and stiff necked that Yah had to take extreme measures to convince him to let His people go.

 

1. The water in the Nile River was turned into blood which caused all the fish to die resulting in a stench so strong that the Egyptians could not drink the water and there was blood throughout the land.

 

2. Seven days later Yah plagued the land with frogs. The Nile swarmed with frogs and they spread throughout. Pharaoh was a little taken aback for a moment and begged Moses to plead with Yah on his behalf, which he did and Yah complied.  When Pharaoh saw relief, he became stubborn again and refused to set the people free.

 

3. So now the dust of the earth was turned into lice throughout the land of Egypt and the vermin infected man and beast.  This was something Pharaoh's magicians could not duplicate and they told Pharaoh that this was indeed the "God of the Hebrews" at work. This only hardened Pharaoh's heart and he refused to take heed.

 

4. Once again Moses pleads with Pharaoh to set the people free and once again he refuses resulting in swarms of insects being let loose against him and his courtiers, the people and their houses and the very ground they stand on were filled with swarms of insects.  Part of this event was to set Goshen apart, where the Hebrews had been living, and no swarms of insects were found there so that others would know that Yahweh was in the midst of the land; making a distinction between His people and Pharaoh's people.  Pharaoh was shaken up again, begged Moses to plead with Yah, and He removed the swarms. Once again, after seeing relief, Pharaoh refused to let the people go.

 

5. Next up is a very severe pestilence which struck Pharaoh's livestock out in the fields: horses, donkeys, camels, cattle and sheep. Once again Yah made a distinction between Pharaoh's livestock and that of the Hebrews - nothing of theirs died.

 

6. After that, soot from the kiln was thrown into the sky which became as a fine dust all over the land of Egypt and caused an inflammation to break out in boils on both man and beast and this affected the magicians as well.  Pharaoh heart was hardened and he refused to let Yah's people go.

 

7. We read this in Exodus 9 verse 14:

"For this time I will send all My plagues upon your person (Pharaoh), your courtiers, and your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in all the world. I could have stretched out My Hand and stricken you and your people with pestilence and you would have been caused to vanish from the earth.  Nevertheless, I have spared you for this purpose: in order to show you My power, and in order that My fame may resound throughout the world. Yet you continue to thwart My people and do not let them go! This time I will rain down very heavy hail such as has not been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. Therefore, order your livestock and everything you have in the open brought under shelter; every man and beast that is found outside shall perish when the hail comes down upon them."

This was enough of a warning that those among Pharaoh's courtiers who had begun to fear the God of the Hebrews brought their slaves and livestock indoors to safety; but those who payed no regard to His Word left their slaves and livestock out in the open.  Yah sent thunder and hail, and fire streamed down to the ground.  The hail was very heavy and had fire flashing in its midst.  It struck down all who were out in the open, and the grasses and trees of the field.  Only the region of Goshen was set apart and no hail fell there.

 

8. Yahweh explains He has hardened the hearts of Pharaoh and his courtiers in order to display His signs among them and that future generations would remember how He made a mockery of the Egyptians in order that they would know that He is the one and only Creator.  He asks how long will they refuse to humble themselves and let His people go to worship Him.  Yet they refuse to let them go and here come the locust.  They ate what the hail didn't destroy out in the field and fruit of the trees, and they got into the houses and palaces of Egypt.  They covered the land.  As we know, Pharaoh still refused Yah's terms.

9. Now a thick darkness fell on the land of Egypt, so dark that it could be felt.  For three days people could not see one another, no one could safely move, but all the Hebrews enjoyed light in their dwellings.  Yet, Pharaoh still wants to bargain with God.

 

10. One last plague and Pharaoh finally lets Yah's people go. Once again instructions are given and those who desire to be saved sacrifice a lamb and paint its blood on the lintel and doorposts of their dwelling - a sign to the angel of death to 'pass over' those dwellings. As for the rest, towards midnight every first-born in the land of Egypt died, both man and beast, including the first born of Pharaoh, who finally tells Moses to leave, and take all the Hebrews and anyone else who worshipped the God of the Hebrews with him, along with their flocks and herds and begone.

•••  •••  •••

If we use Yah's list of the plagues He used against Pharaoh and the Egyptians, a plague in our day and age could translate to:

•Lack of fresh water and the pollution that kills off our fish as a food source

•Demonic influence in everyday life

•Parasites affecting both man and animals

•An increase in swarms of insects

•A contagious disease that is virulent and devastating which affects all livestock, horses, donkeys, camels, cattle and sheep

•Serious air pollution that causes boils to breakout on man and animal, possibly chemtrail related

•Severe weather via Weather Control techniques

•Locust eat whatever is left that severe weather didn't destroy

•Spiritual Darkness - His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

•Spiritual Death for not choosing His Blessing from the very beginning.

Our water supplies are contaminated and even the purification process contaminates our drinking water with fluoride (as one known culprit). Fish as a food source is being contaminated from all the pollution and radio active waste flushed into the waterways. Farmed fish is not a healthy option.  Our ranch and farm grown food sources have been contaminated with genetically modified organisms, chemtrail residue, weed killers, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, and topped of with assorted additives. Take all that and throw it in the microwave oven for a full fledged franken-meal.  Our immune systems have been further compromised over the years from being exposed to all the above mentioned contaminates which makes us even more vulnerable to various diseases. Weather manipulation has been sold to us as global warming or climate change and has been used as a weapon, creating and manipulating storms. Mix into all this the lack of knowledge about Scriptures.  Satan's demons use that 'spiritual darkness' against us at every turn.

 

​Exodus 15:26 - If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your Creator, and do that which is right in ​H​is eyes, and give ear to ​H​is commandments and keep all ​H​is statutes, He will put none of the diseases on you that He put on the Egyptians 

(for I am ​Yahweh​ your healer)

 

All these calamities are the side effects of Satan's plan to make things seem better than what Yahweh said was good to begin with. Satan used 'doubt' to cause Eve to disregard the Father's Instruction about eating from one particular tree. Satan caused Eve to question Yah's authority, the Creator of all things good, and seduced her into believing a lie; led astray by subtle persuasion and false promises.  Thousands of years later we find ourselves living in the aftermath.

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 and sounds like they know what they're doing.  Satan is very clever.  By not having faith in the One who created us, who gave us everything we need, we trail after Satan's doctrine of progressive behavior, always looking to improve that which has already been good, but by Satan's standards not good enough.  Do you see how mankind has gotten trapped into the 'modern world'?  The ways of Satan have gotten folks back in bondage to the 'system' just as that mixed multitude were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Take a look around the world today and notice all the various plagues that exist.

 

Folks who do not believe in the Word of Yahweh will consider the words of Satan as a basis for truth. As I mentioned earlier, 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 Yahweh our Father of heavenly lights. 

 

Various scientist and their followers 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.

 

 

Million Man Army

Friday, February 19, 2021 by: E. Huff

The communist Chinese regime is reportedly in the process of developing a new “master race” of human-robot hybrids to help the authoritarian empire attain global rule.

In order to achieve “biological dominance” over all other nations, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is utilizing various methods of genetic engineering to develop artificial transgenic humans, which will function as military slaves in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Similar to what the history books have to say about the Third Reich, this Fourth Reich, of sorts, aims to crystallize communist China’s position as a global leader via artificial “fortification” of the human genome.

“U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted human testing on members of the People’s Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with biologically enhanced capabilities,” wrote John Ratcliffe, the former Director of National Intelligence (DNI), in a recent op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.

Ratcliffe added that there are “no ethical boundaries to Beijing’s pursuit of power,” meaning it will stop at nothing to eventually rule the planet.

While China did fine and jail Shenzhen He [Jenkui] for “illegally carrying out human embryo gene-editing,” some speculate that this was done merely for show to make it seem as though the communist regime stands in defense of human rights.

“What is most disturbing about these endeavors is that China has gleaned access to CRISPR and advanced genetic and biotech research, thanks to their relationship with the United States and other advanced Western nations,” stated Brandon Weichert, author of The Weichert Report, during a recent interview.

“American research labs, biotech investors, and scientists have all striven to do research and business in China’s budding biotech arena … because the ethical standards for research … are so low.”
Don’t forget: The U.S. is involved with biotechnology just like communist China

Because untainted human intelligence would never, generally speaking, willingly go along with the tyrannical agenda of communist China, the regime aims to create new novel lifeforms that are both strong and obedient.

Bing Su, a geneticist from the state-run Kunming Institute of Zoology, has conducted numerous experiments involving the injection of human DNA into primates, the goal being to create a smarter animal that is still dumber than an actual human.

Bing reportedly injected the MCPH1 gene into the brain of a monkey, the goal being to advance that animal’s intelligence just enough to make it more intelligent than other monkeys but still not as intelligent as a real human.

Bing’s next experiment will be to insert two other genes into monkeys: SRGAP2C, which is related to human intelligence, and FOXP2, which is connected to language skills.

“Biotechnology development in China is heading in a truly macabre direction,” Weichert wrote in an article for the American Greatness website.

The United States is no saint in all this, it is important to note. We have been dealing with our own biotechnology horror show in which children are being experimented on in the pursuit of creating new genderless automaton “humans” that are neither male nor female, as one example.

Our nation is also overloaded with toxic, life-destroying GMOs, which are planted on tens of millions of acres of American farmland. This land is now so doused and saturated in hormone-disrupting chemicals that Big Biotech may not even need to pursue any further modification technologies since crop chemicals are bringing about these changes all on their own.

Women - Do's and Don'ts

Justice Ruth Ginsburg died.  I knew the name but did not know anything about her. With all the praise given her, by females in particular, I figured a little research was due on my part. To begin I will share a lovely example of womanhood found written in Proverbs.

Proverbs Chapter 31 is an account of King Lemuel of Massa being admonished by his mother, in regards to duties and obligations; being gentle with warnings and urgent in advice. I have lightly paraphrase this chapter so please remember to read from your own Bible when you have time.

No, my son, do not give your strength to a woman, your bodily or mental strength to those who destroy kings.  Wine is not for kings; not for kings to drink, nor any strong drink for princes, lest they drink and forget what has been ordained, and infringe on the rights of the poor. Give strong drink to the hapless and wine to the embittered that they may drink and forget their poverty and put their troubles out of mind. Speak up for the dumb, for the rights of all the unfortunate; speak up, judge righteously, champion the poor and the needy.

What a rare find is a capable wife! Her worth is far beyond that of rubies. Her husband puts his confidence in her and lacks no good thing. She is good to him and never bad, all the days of her life.  She sees to all clothing needs, mending, sewing and various necessities.  She gets up early so as to make ready the daily provisions for her household and those who assists her.

She acquires what she sets her mind to; she girds herself with strength and performs her tasks with both physical and mental strength.  She sees that whatever she does thrives and is always thinking of what is next. She never seems to sleep.  And in all these things she has time to see to the needs of the poor and needy in her community.

She makes useful items to sell to the locals. She is clothed with strength and splendor and looks to the future cheerfully. She speaks wisely; is generous in teachings and known for her sympathetic nature. She oversees the activities of her household and shuns idleness. Her children declare her happiness; her husband praises her saying, "Many women have done well, but you surpass all of them."

Grace is deceptive, beauty is illusory; it is for her fear of Yahweh that a woman is to be praised. Praise her highly for her works and let them be a blessing to the community.

You may be wondering: How can a woman live like that if she has to work two jobs just to pay the bills, or if she is in the military, or is a business woman who clamors for promotions to further her career?  Our Creator's set of Instructions have always been for our health and well being but mankind has tossed them out long ago claiming 'Jesus nailed them to the cross'. Now you can begin to see the mess we are in that began long ago, and how women have forgotten their reason for being. It started in The Garden back when Satan caused Eve to doubt God and she convinced Adam to follow suit. Thousand of years later The Women's Lib era made things even worse. The goal of the Adversary? Dissolve the family unit. Woman has always been the center of the household and all that entails.  If she tends her responsibilities it allows Man to tend to his and together they become one functioning unit - the two become one. Satan has been successful in dividing the family unit.

The very things women praise Ginsburg for are the things women have no business involving themselves with if they profess to love God.  In order to praise Ginsburg one must turn one's back on The Creator.  

Once upon a time I was rather godless (young, reckless and rebellious) and let the wind blow me any which way. I grew up in the wild and wacky 60's, a little too young to be a hippie or understand the Vietnam War but I could sing along with the popular protest songs. I sampled the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll of the era.  I was never a 'feminist' but remember the bra-burning phase of those days.  Now I can see those gals were rebelling against God and His Instructions in the long run, because they didn't know any better.  Many of us didn't know better in the days of our youth. Can you see how this past behavior accepted as 'normal' has brought us into today's world where now men are women and women are men mentally and pseudo-physically.  Good has become Evil and Evil has become Good.

Isaiah 5:20
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Never doubt the Commandments given us by our Creator as they were given for our benefit; abide by them best you can, have the testimony of His Son and continue to love and search out the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:9

For the coming of that Evil One is the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity in them that perish because they did not receive the love of the truth by which they might have life. Therefore Yahweh will send upon them the strength of a deception that they may believe a lie, and that they all may be condemned who believe not the truth but have pleasure in iniquity. 

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.
