2:10 ~ A river issues from Eden to water the Garden and then divides becoming four branches: Pishon which winds through the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is along with bdellium and lapis lazuli. The second river is the Gihon that winds through the whole land of Cush. The third river is the Tigris that flows east of Asshur and the fourth is the Euphrates.

Eden and the Garden

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

More Bad Dancing
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.
Plagues
: 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
"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."
•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.
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.

Million Man Army
“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 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.
“Biotechnology development in China is heading in a truly macabre direction,” Weichert wrote in an article for the American Greatness website.
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!”
2 Thessalonians 2:9For 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.
