With quantum mechanics and uncertainty technically anything is possible including those configurations of quanta that seem miraculous. I think the word 'miracle' as a middle term or indirect referent object applicable in theory to a structured genre of event-processes is somewhat confusing and perhaps a source of doubt. Reason either inductive, deductive or a posteriori probably is skeptical about anomalous events, and miracles may not be all of one sort of causal structure anyway-God of course hasn't a context whereby He is subjective being or causality. One can understand how faithless people have existential doubts yet Christians too are not certain about a schedule of uncertainty either...simply believers in God's preeminence over the entangled field quanta that appear to be mass-Universe.

World chess champion Magnus Carlsen won his title defense against Vishy Anand in Sochi Russia taking game 11 and the match.
Illegal Aliens In, SecDef Hagel Out
Secretary
of Defense Hagel resigned following the controversion by the
President of U.S. immigration law changing the status of millions of
illegal aliens in the U.S.A. to Obama-certified legal status. As a
loyal Nebraskan veteran the former SecDef may have dissented from
being a policy accomplice after-the-fact. Alternatively former SecDef
Hagel may have wished to spend more time nurturing peace.
The
SecDef does more than defend the nation against foreign business
persons of interest that would change all the world's natural
resources including people into exclusive product with gross value of
one cube unit (except for a few ha'yumans left around to buy and
consume product to keep the economy recycling). After SecDef Hagel
the way is unclear.
What
sort of poinkery may follow is anyone's guess. Abraham was told his
descendants would as be numerous as the stars yet that is an inexact
figure in context. Did God mean the visible stars (about 5000 for
AVRM and somewhat more for God? Or did he mean all of the stars in
the Universe or just the part of the Universe AVRM was looking
toward(about a fifth of the stars). In one case AVRM's heirs aren't
so numerous while in the remainder Earth wouldn't be large enough for
them-they would need to boldly create habitats in space to dwell
upon. That would require conservation of the present Earth ecosphere
for several reasons. Slow population increase for space colonization
in proportion to ecospheric carrying capacity. A SecDef has several
scenarios to choose-it is almost assured that the next few Presidents
will be dumb and dumber versions 4,5,6...
If
there is the usual pundit poinkery from the BBC providing news
analysis of distant events in D.C. we may learn if N.P.R. will
increase its musical content between leftist kultur kempf intent more
or if the next SecDef to put on the Cowboy Hat of Office can speak
Russian fluently or find a new way to thwart incipient Iranian
democracy and restore a cooperative royal lackey that shops at Wall
Street's zero-interest loans store for the rich so they have abundant
cash to invest in China.
The
rich of Boston have probably considered it necessary to cut down
world population starting with America in ways more aggressive than
normal policy can produce. Putting women in Marine combat units is
being contemplated, developing Ricardo's Iron
Law of Wages into
policy that would stop population growth with vigorous worked
pressurizing expropriation of affordable capital investments of the
poor in real estate so that even if they have food to biologically
breed they would have no private place to live is realpolitik. The
new wearer of the Cowboy
Hat of Defense may
want good understanding of global political-economy in order to
discover optimal ecological economic intervention tensors that would
best create prosperity, space exploration and real economic growth
for others and avoid being another bull attacking the next perceived
red-wearing foe as a policy end in-itself. With a quarter century of
bad Presidential leadership the nation relies upon the Cowboy Hat
Leader for security too much.
If
the President is bold he will appoint Hillary Clinton to be SecDef so
she can bring the wrath of feminist bureaucracy down like Maxwell's
silver hammer to over-watch all that poinkery slowing down peace and
sisterhood in the Middle East. How long the suffering wonder, will it
be before a SecDef builds a saltwater-desalinating via evaporation
and condensation capture moat to keep infidels south of the Mexican
border? Thousands of jobs making fresh water for the desert could be
made building the saltwater-pumping pipeline and moat-canals.
Thousands of space technicians need to have an electro-magnetic
linear mass-driver built on the moon in order to provide shovel-ready
jobs to feed their families. And then there is the South Sudan-they
need agriculture education and cheap water-making training. Somewhere
on the horizon, emerging from a bright sunrise, a smog is forming to
cloud up the sky. The new SecDef may stop those exhaust emissions-who
can say?

Supreme Legislator President Yobama Promotes Illegal Immigrants (satire)
President Yobama growing tired of Republicans and unhappy with sweeping republicans victories in the recent congressional elections decided to rewrite U.S. immigration and decide for-himself who may be in the United States or be deported. Controverting bad laws he don't like to change illegal to legal the President has decided to deconfuse the dum and dummer Congress benevolently. As a lawyer able to decide what the meaning of is is better than Congress the President found adequate litigious loopholes in legal authorization to effectively make laws temporarily without the excess drag of Congressional opinion slowing him down.
President Yobama as a graduate of the Harvard School of Advanced Theoretical Political Philosophy (aka. Law) as start tested the waters with a North American Free Illegal Alien Act that when signed into law or shouted out by decree would let U.S. citizens illegally Migrate to Mexico and eventually have a pathway to dual citizenship following the Mexican top-court's decree that homosexuals can marry and thus produce fruits of social improveremt.
For those without depth in reading the historical setting for Democracy I shall provide a refresher now. The tripartite government was made in order that one branch of government would not evolve dictatorial power. The Congress would make laws and the Chief Executive would faithfully execute those laws as close as possible to the will and intent of the lawmakers. The Judicial branch would decide if the laws were in conflict with the constitution and were thus illegal.
In order to expedite leftist Kulture Kampf to reverse colonialism and restore the name First People to the Washington Redskins President Yobama will increase illegal alien immigration quotas from Mexico,Asia and Kenya.

Renewal With Alternative Infrastructure
Politicians
often talk about infrastructure renewal in their campaign rhetoric.
They say that the national infrastructure is in decay and need of
repairs. It is true that many of the vast number of Herbert Hoover
era public works are somewhat aged and that water pipes and
electrical systems may be of venerable status while the Eisenhower
interstate system was founded more than a half century ago. Even so
the infrastructure most in need of renewal or replacement is the
ideas that politicians have about national infrastructure.
Politicians
generally want to just throw money at somewhat creaky systems and
renew it as if it were a Model T that needed rusty fender and spring
replacements. Instead they should be thinking about new
transportation forms that don't need ancient infrastructure paradigms
at all. Infrastructure is a consequence of past economic development.
New infrastructure should replace old infrastructure that supports
new economic development.
It
would be possible to produce much more national electricity off the
present grid with hydrogen fuel cells in home and neighborhood. It
would also be possible to relocate much manufacturing to the United
States with 3-D printers of a somewhat industrial scale. What would
be useful to stimulate development of new ideas would be education
and coordination of small teams of materials designers able to encode
pat3entable ideas in materials and computer coding designers able to
encode the product material design in digitalized data code ready for
printing. Ideas made in America could be produced in America and
around the world without need for material import or export.
With
new electrical and material production infrastructure it would also
be useful to generate new ideas for transportation infrastructure
that aren't based upon concrete or asphalt highways and fossil fuel
internal combustion platform networks. Faster, cheaper
electro-magnetic linear accelerator platforms under and above ground
could let existing road be torn up and made into new wildlife
corridor infrastructure for bioethical continuity.
Sewage
infrastructure might be replaced with some sort of particle beam
disintegrator facilities of sludge, or microwave or heat incineration
of biowaste in newer infrastructure reducing the requirement for
extensive wet transport of piss and poop.
It
is perhaps only one of the most endangered national infrastructures;
water, that would require not only renewal of existing infrastructure
but increased protection extending to renewal of natural watershed
infrastructure as well as water storage and transport infrastructure
above and below ground.
It
would be desirable if politicians contemplating national
infrastructure renewal considered ecological economic upgrades as
well, if they could get a grasp of what ecological economics are
academically speaking. As it is some of the few politicians
considering the renewal of democracy infrastructure with a reduction
of the corrupting vast divide between the average annual earnings of
rich and poor may talk about investing in infrastructure renewal to
create jobs but what they really mean is to through hundreds of
billions down into the money pit of ancient infrastructure and
ancient economic practices that today tend to support globalism more
than American national economic interests..
With
a Presidential primary election campaign year ahead one must wonder
if either major party has anyone with good ideas or any sort of
technical economic competence planning to run. Many Republicans want
to be another Ronald Reagan-yet what year is this0?
Democrats
seem rather daft an interested mainly in homosexuality, drugs and
illegal alien amnesty to get more cheap labor and votes. Of course
President Obama did consistently stimulate Syrian conflict with a
demand that the lawfully elected President quit-and that gave the
green light to the rise of ISIS, so maybe they can accomplish things
other than giving zero interest loans to Wall Street.
That
raises the final point here; is the economy really healthy? What
happens if Republicans or Democrats shut down the Fed Reserve free
money printing for Wall Street? Is Wall Street so badly evolved in
relation to natural resources that it has no ability to exist on its
own? Tune in to the next episode of decaying national infrastructure
to find out.
Post-Mill Interpretation of the Revelation
It
is amazing to consider that so many have misinterpreted the book of
Revelation (of John the Disciple of Christ). Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey,
Pat Robertson of Virginia Beach, Muhammad of Mecca and innumerable
lunatics tattooed with the mark of the beast (666) as well as
innumerable congregations full of saved evangelicals evidently got it
wrong. The analysis and interpretation of literature-historical;
prophetic literature, was probably not their strong suit. The first
resurrection was that of being spiritually born again in the faith;
most of the prophecies in the Revelation were fulfilled during the
violent, troubling times experienced by first century Christians
going through tribulation and persecution of the Roman Emperor Nero.
The
Bible is a beautiful book in the sense of a beautiful mathematics or
physics theory that has a wonderful structure. With the Revelation of
John correctly interpreted the New Testament gospel of the Lord
becomes more beautiful to in its marvelous fulfillment of prophecy
and reshaping foundation for the course of mankind. With the spirit
of the Acts of the Apostles John's Revelation provides and overview
and binding foundation for understanding the continuing work of the
Lord and Holy Spirit in human history beyond the sufferings,
persecutions, tribulation and destruction of the temple in the first
century. An age of the gentiles that would be fulfilled with the
evangelization of the peoples of the world. The good news of the Lord
could be carried to the people of the future-even unto the farthest
reaches of humanity down the road and even into space I would think.
Humanity and Christians in particular are not to cower under
toadstools waiting for the sky to fall and rapture to remove them
from impending Armageddon and the draconian power of the beast (that
in a sense inevitably coheres residually within any human collective
or government I suppose original sin being what it is).
Life
in the temporal realm isn't eternal. There are fundamentally three
ways of interpreting the Disciple John's book of the Revelation
regarding when the Lord Jesus Christ will return to conclude human
affairs and to judge the living quick and the dead that are popular
today. This field of Christian theology is incidentally named
eschatology.
Pre-mill,post-mill
or amill; regardless of your stand I believe a Christian is saved if
the Lord is their personal Savior. One should always be ready for
the return of the Lord in the Second Coming.
Catholics
are I believe generally amillenialists. They regard people that die
as going to heaven directly (or hell or purgatory perhaps). Not being
Roman Catholic I stipulate that I am not very well informed on the
issue. Evangelicals Protestants tend to be premillennialists
believing that the Revelation is a prophecy of events to come
preponderantly. Post-millennialism is another point of view with the
view that the Revelation largely described near term events that
occurred in the first century A.D.
It
does seem reasonable that John foresaw the future of the Jewish and
Roman world and how it would effect Christians within the decade he
was living in rather than just events about 2000 years distant. Nero
began his persecutions of Christians in 64 a.d. and Christians
(saints) went through a tribulation. Gentry goes over the evidence
for a first century interpretative paradigm for the Revelation in
detail.
If
post-millennialism is correct it doesn't mean Christianity is
obsolete-instead it confirms it's truth and prophetic accuracy. We
are living in the age of the Gentiles. Instead of expect a sudden
anti-Christ and Armageddon Christianity should grow and increase
human peace, prosperity and knowledge of the Lord (perhaps with a
priesthood of believers replacing the hierarchical priesthood). The
second coming and final judgment could take an indefinite time even
occurring after human settlement of Mars and distant galaxies, its
hard to say for sure.
Kenneth
Gentry's book 'The Beast of
Revelation' identifies the
Roman Emperor Nero as the particular beast referred to in John's book
of the Revelation. Besides Nero as the particular person of the beast
the Roman Empire is said to be the general actualization of the
beast. I think that Gentry's analysis is quite convincing.
This
is an informal commentary interacting with the ideas of Gentry's book
written for my course on eschatology. The commentary is supposed to
run to thirty pages and that seems quite a lot to write for a a
non-expert in the field. Rather than providing a back-seat driving
analysis of Gentry's ideas I'll try to adumbrate points of view that
are relevant to the issue of Biblical eschatology and end times
inspired by Gentry's analysis of the Revelation.
The
Revelation may be viewed as a history book as well as a book of
prophecy. That fact has implications for how one interprets its
content. History books generally are written after the fact while
prophecies are written before. If one is a secularist it might be a
priori challenging to accept a date for the composition of the
revelation before the events described within it as prophecy. Instead
of an early date at or before the first year of Nero's reign e.g. 63
a.d. the option of accepting the credibility of the later date of 95
a.d. might be preferred with a certain neo-realistic bias.
It
is difficult to say what reason John could have had for composing the
events of the book of Revelation after the events described within
it, although one might offer the point of view such as
premillenialists have that the events described do not pertain to the
first century events at all, or perhaps have a dual-purpose meaning
of events then and in the future.
Some
have pointed out that the churches and Christians of the time might
have found John's prophecy somewhat superfluous if they did not
relate to the pressing issues of the time such as the Neronic
persecutions and martyrdoms of Christians by Nero or immanent dangers
to Jerusalem by the Roman Army. John might have found events of the
first century a kind of coincidental template for describing future
events-yet if so he would have needed to view the near-term events
prophetically as well as the distant future events in order to note
their similarities and congruence of format. Yet it might have been
the angels that provided the right coincidental data in order to make
John's Revelation insights of prophecy useful to Christians then and
now. Historians with an entirely secular viewpoint would dismiss that
possibility as irrelevant. I would imagine that it is easier for
Christian theologians to accept a Revelation prophetic paradigm that
was immediately relevant to first century Christians rather than a
later date that requires a more convoluted explanation. If John's
Revelation was written before the events that were rather near-term
with such accuracy it would be difficult not to accept the fact that
it was genuine prophecy rather than coincidence or dead-reckoning
political analysis of the highest quality and accuracy.
Political
predictions of future events of from one to 17 years distant
generally involving the highest levels of an imperial government and
the existence of the Jewish nation were just not easy in the first
century. Few think tanks had such access to the highest levels of the
Roman Government, or would have if such had existed. There were
additional accurate predictions regarding the success and growth rate
of the Christian faith would have been unlikely in the first century.
The Delphic Oracle did not provide such accuracy.
I
have looked ahead to Gentry's other book 'He Shall Have Dominion'
and learned a More of Gentry's agenda. The present work seems to
be the opening Movement of a grand post-Millennial symphony of
eschatology. After checking out that post-Millennial symphony I
must say that I like its sound. The interpretation has the
beauty of the General Theory of Relativity or Wegener's Theory
of Plate Tectonics and continental drift to explain why the
shoreline littorals of West Africa and Eastern South America seem to
match up with a yin-yang aspect.
Natural
philosophies such as continental drift, Buddhism,Taoism and evolution
are in some respects compatible with Christianity yet are
fundamentally irrelevant. Christianity is More like supernatural
philosophy revealed by God. I ought to note that the 6th
heresy of Buddhism is belief in God. I believe that is an historical
anachronism originating in an era when all of the nations of the
world besides Israel were pagan. The Buddha hadn't a supernatural
revelation and instead adumbrated a Natural philosophy somewhat like
the Universe is a holograph produced by higher dimensions and hence
illusory. Keeping his focus on the natural belief in God was
proscribed. A Modern scientific Buddhist Might be able to acknowledge
that if a superior civilization of the future or from higher
dimensions could create particle entanglement or an Event horizon
with an apparent Universe sheltering sentient beings in it, why not
God?
Alternatively
the evidence Gentry presents though convincing reminds me of the
televised O.J. Simpson trial were using basically the same evidence
two different camps presented two different versions of what
occurred. That is a routine occurrence in criminal and civil trials
in a democratic society with an adversarial legal system. A juror
would need to examine each point of view and decide for themselves
what if anything is true.
In
the case of cosmology theories there are numerous conflicting as well
as complementary points of view about given physical phenomena used
as evidence to support a given trendy hypothesis. These days theories
of everything that were popular in the 70s and 80s seem to have
fallen out of fashion as the frontiers of cosmology through
astrophysics and theory roll back the frontiers of the observable and
the possible. In some respects like Socrates who decided that he knew
that he knew nothing-a kind of precursor antipode of Descartes'
cogito ergo sum-cosmological
theorists realize that they likely will never have absolute certainty
about physical reality that may be embedded in higher dimensions and
just one of an infinite number of Universes or how it could be
sustained by superior civilizations or God. A certain measure of
faith is required to select a given theory as the best of all
available models knowing that it is incomplete and something of a
process philosophy or process cosmology of a temporary nature likely
to be surpassed. Christians too must select the better interpretation
of the Revelation available knowing that it may be only partly
accurate hopefully to a large extent.
The
Apostle John was a prisoner for a time on an island near Ephesus. It
is believed that he wrote the Revelation while at that island. At
least he received the Revelation while at the isle of Patmos although
perhaps he had scribes write it down after release or possible before
release via intermediaries. That is rather difficult to say at this
point in time. Julius Caesar had a lieutenant write the second half
of his book on the Roman Civil war and the Spanish war yet the exact
details of the composition for even such a famous figure are rather
or entirely vague today and so it may be for John and his school of
followers at Ephesus.
When
John wrote the Revelation is a subject of more contention among
scholars. There are early and late dates two of which seem possible.
There are other dates speculating that John did not actually write
the book at all but followers did later in the second century that I
will dismiss. Irenaeus and others commented on the Revelation as
early as the early second century at that supports the idea of an
earlier writing construction. Of course there are more scholarly
points available to support the first century construction of the
Revelation. I will not cite those points in this paper presently.
Berkhof's 'Introduction to the New Testament' has a chapter on John
that points out elements of the time and place of composition fir
example.
Personally
I prefer the early construction date that Gentry advocates too rather
than the later circa 95 a.d. composition paradigm. I would think that
Peter and John would have been young men-perhaps 20 or so when Jesus
introduced himself around 30 a.d. for the momentous three year
mission, and John in the year 60 a.d. would have been 50 years
old-quite a ripe time for writing a creative, challenging, prophetic
book like the revelation. Thirty-five years later in 95 a.d. John
would have been 85 more or less and found the production of such a
work more challenging I would think. His intellectual energy might
not have been as great as at age 50 either.
A
baptist minister once told me that John's Revelation was like a
newspaper in its day. Gentry believes the messages are coded
necessarily because of the element of actual persecution by the
Imperial Roman authorities. Like today in the U.S.A. there can be
immediate repercussions for calling a state governor or the President
the anti-Christ in print-though for Jews and other first-century
Christians the act of seeming to rebel against Nero brought more
severe retribution.
The
Apostle John must have known the ecclesiastical state of affairs of
the church in relation to the Roman imperial opinion rather well. The
Apostle Paul had been imprisoned and released before a second arrest
and Peter had moved to Rome and experienced the problems encountered
by Christians from Jewish and Roman persecution first-hand. John
moved to Ephesus from Judea at some point before the destruction of
Jerusalem in 70 a.d. and may have encountered immediate difficulties
from Jewish and pagan authorities. Nero and preceding Roman emperors
of the Julian line were worshiped as god's by state decree. The Lord
Jesus Christ's appearance as the actual Son of God contravened that
silly, superfluous and vain direction emulated today a little by the
very rich and broadcast media and select performance artists that
would like to erase the presence of the real God from the minds of
humanity with atheist propaganda and elevate themselves to a position
of practical socially empowered deification. The Roman state and Jews
seeking to suppress Christian church increase may have sought to
imprison or execute John immediately upon his arrival in Ephesus.
Thus it is reasonable to suppose that
John reaching Ephesus and starting the process of edification of his
fellow Christians and recoding his ideas with scribal help along with
missiological activity perhaps with additional letters to churches
and meetings with Christians may have simultaneously experienced an
increasing effort to repress his ministry of the word of God and the
evangelization of Eurasia with the good new of Jesus Christ.
Eventually that surge to repress the word of God provided through the
ministry of the Apostle John enhanced with the three and a half year
Neronic persecuction of Christians in the 7th
decade of the first century would have developed to such a point as
to send the Apostle into prison exile at Patmos.
Gentry's
thesis on the Revelation is basically partial preterism. Many of the
events written of in the Revelation have already occurred. I am
taking much time reading Gentry's book because it cold in an unheated
Alaskan hut and there aren't power lines or a road in to town with a
difficult trail through forest and slippery logging slash and a four
mile walk on a non-maintained sometimes snow-covered access road to a
town and a library where I can recharge batteries for reading and
writing (the alpha smart works well to conserve battery power for
writing in sub-freezing temperatures).
I
believe that John may have left Judea as early as the 50s and become
well established in Ephesus before the 60s. One might wonder when or
why Peter left Jerusalem where he led the church. He journeyed to
Rome eventually. The Lord's brother James was thrown from the Temple
Mount and martyred. Though not fleeing martyrdom at some point peter
may have found Rome a better place to organize and increase the
development of the mission of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Like John Peter may have sensed the coming destruction of Jerusalem
by Roman authority. Caiaphas the head of the Jewish religious
authority that sought the execution of Jesus mentioned the sacrifice
of the Lord as being better than sacrificing the entire nation to the
imperial authority. A rival king-even with a kingdom not of this
world was too much of a vulnerability as a potential avenue Rome
might rubblize Jerusalem for the religious high command to tolerate.
Gentry
considers in some detail the issue of the role and presence of
Christians that were Jews attending synagogue in Jerusalem in order
to date the composition of the Revelation that has a certain Hebraic
tone to it that seemed to disappear after the destruction of
Jerusalem. It is important to Gentry's position that the Revelation
was written prior to the destruction of the temple in a.d. 70. It is
notable that many today still wonder about the role of Jews in the
present and future or who the real Jews are. The Revelation and the
epistles of Paul each address that point at least in a context that
is appropriate for the more specific character of a post-mill
paradigm for the writing of the Revelation.
Jesus
of course said that he would have gathered the Jews and tended them
as well as a mother hen tends her chicks yet realized that they were
not to be saved by the Lord and would instead be destroyed eventually
by the Roman authority. Well, it would have been nice to take the
Jewish Mosaic established temple priesthood into the era of the New
Covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Lord was spiritually
willing than none be lost yet it was not meant to be.
God
doesn't like divorce and wouldn't do that Himself. I prefer the
better presentation that God has evolved the relationship to include
Jews and Christians of faith as the bride of Christ. The Jews were
the necessary ground for growth or emergence of the Christian church
in a secondary kind of way after Christ of course. They would not
just be jettisoned as soon as they gave birth to Christianity like a
spent baby mama so the new chick could hop in the sack.
Paul
(Romans 2:17-29) and John (i.e. Revelation 7:4-8) speak of Christians
as the spiritually true Jews. Instead of a purely material, racial
Jewish identity were Christians. The Lord once replied to a statement
that his mother and brothers were waiting outside to him asked 'who
are my mother and brothers' rhetorically. He explained that those who
new him as savior and followed him are his mother and brothers.
Jesus
wanted to save Jerusalem yet as they were a religious-led national
Israel failing to adapt to the presence of the Lord and straying too
far from the heart of God with formalism and legalism the correction
given was to evolve beyond legalism to personalism and personal
relationship to God as The Son of Man whom everyone could know
personally. That wasn't a divorce; it was a consummation spiritually
speaking of the relationship between mankind and God. It was always
probably necessary for God to include all of humanity in the realm of
His personal acquaintance through the Lord Jesus Christ-not simply
via the introductory period of Jews in a nation following His laws
amidst a planet full of pagan lunatics and killers in hot pursuit of
capital.
As
one of the reasons given in support of a first century context for
interpreting the Revelation Gentry gives the information that the
futurist, dispensationalist way of interpreting the Revelation
creates a persistent Christian despair about the present accompanied
by a rationalization that this world is doomed and given over to the
deus a machina of wickedness under the dark powers of Evil and that
Christians can look forward to the rapture taking them out of the
society of despond.. Of course one does not require a Christian
eschatology that interprets the Revelation within a
dispensationalist, futurist paradigm in order to have a pessimistic
outlook on world events and life in general. In fact atheists
continuously cite the evil and wickedness in the world as reasons
against the existence of God. For many atheists any possible Universe
created by God must be as Sugar Mountain with barkers and colored
balloons but no sort of accidens (not to misuse that Aristotelian
term but the error works rather well in this context).
R.A.
Torrey was a dispensationalist and well-meaning Christian writer.
Gentry is another and thus it seems evident that it is possible to
have different ideas about what the book of Revelation means and when
it was written. I believe that the fact that there are consequences
to taking one of the two positions mentioned here are significant
though.
Gentry
thinks that Christians with a gloomy dispensationalist viewpoint
awaiting a skyhook from Jesus to extract them out of the turmoils and
persecutions of the world become socially indolent or disengaged from
social constructive actions to a certain extent. That is they fail to
live up to their potential and responsibilities as citizens of a
democracy making improvements to the world. One wonders what the
position of the Puritans was on dispensationalism and futurism versus
convenantalism and preterism?
Apparently
the realistic immanentalism of John's prophecies written to the
churches of the day (the seven churches and other Christians in the
Revelation was lost to those living past the time of the destruction
of the Temple at Jerusalem and slaughter by a Roman legion of as many
as half a million Jewish inhabitants of Jerusalem circa 70 a.d..
That is by the second century the real context for interpretation of
the Revelation was lost preponderantly. Maybe Martin Luther's
observation that the Revelation 'had a lot of straw' (as in too much
for making good bricks) was a sort of accurate insight in regard to
making the Revelation a futurist book out of a prophecy largely
intended, or immediately purposed to warn and correct, exhort,
comfort and explain to very challenging Christians soon to undergo
extreme persecutions what their status was and what the outcome would
be. Even so the Revelation does not implicitly exclude within
Gentry's paradigm a dual-purpose futurist paradigm of inaugurated
eschatology. There is difficulty in making certain uncertain terms
with uncertain contexts of initial use.
Mohammedan
eschatology seems founded in a futurist sort of misunderstanding of
the Revelation. Mohammad's father had been keeper of the Spirit
House-Kaaba-at Mecca with its vast assembly representing pagan
religions. When he was made an orphan and cast out of the good graces
of the pagan shrine in time he developed a revolutionary syncretistic
monotheism to take back his heritage and of course make the Kaaba a
shrine for one God with Mohammad as his exclusive prophet. Mohammad
must have surveyed the available religious material as best as he
could from Jewish and Christian sources and with the help of his
older wife hashed out a revolutionary personal monotheism different
enough that it could not be construed as representing the oppressive
Byzantine Orthodox variety of Christianity that had dominated much of
the ancient world in the day as a theocratic device. For Mohammad the
Revelation was futurist and the Jews were Christ killers as they were
to many of those of the dark and middle ages in Europe. Thus in
Mohammedan eschatology Jesus will return to wreak vengeance upon the
Jews and Muslims will help in a Holy Jihad against Jews comprising
Armageddon. It is interesting how wrong interpretation of literature
can have lasting consequences.
Jesus
didn't hold a grudge against the Jews not only because he was himself
Jewish-although Bobby Fischer seemed to hate the Jews though his
mother was evidently a full bloodied tribal Jew. Jesus advocated
forgiveness-even seven times seventy times forgiveness and is an
improbable choice to portray as returning to wreak vengeance on the
Jews. At the last judgment in fact all that one needs to do to be
saved is to have had faith in Jesus as Lord and to accept his grace
and atonement for one's sin. Then a kind of default choice lets a de
facto self-judgment by the lost correct the lost with eternal
punishment. Since Jesus is the only way-the soul bridge to God and
eternal life with the Lord, any other course leaves one in the
wilderness of perdition and doom in any possible Universe-a tough
choice to make.
Gentry's
book seems to focus very much on the identity of the beast and
providing support for a first century interpretation of the
Revelation. That's fine yet it is a little limiting on vision for
what the Revelation is an means to post-temple era Christians.
Some
Christians have a natural antipathy toward a partial preterist
interpretation of the Revelation inasmuch as accepting its veracity
would tend to indicate that even though the prophecy was 100%
accurate more or less, its fulfillment means that a greater error
occurred in Christian teleology/prophecy such that though everything
else happened Jesus Christ didn't return and thus the prophecy of the
Lord were falsified. Such a logically unnecessary proposition depends
on interpreting John's writing in such a way that the meaning of the
return and 'coming in the clouds' have particular meaning-values too.
On the latter point Gentry provides evidence for supporting a meaning
of 'coming in the clouds' within a Biblical context as meaning a time
of social uncertainty when God intervenes to change things. I think
it likely that the use of modern definitions for ancient ideas have
sometimes made inaccuracy in understanding by Biblical interpreters
occur. Gentry points out there are five meanings of the Greek word
he or 'ge' used in the Revelation 80 times and two used prevalently
means 'land' interchangeably with 'Earth'. That has implications for
the interpretation of certain cosmological inferences and
construction of interpretive paradigms for cosmology by modern
expositors.
Even
so it is incumbent upon interpreters of the Revelation to sort
through and determine what elements of the book might have futurist
relevance post-Temple destruction and to the present and/or future.
Seemingly
the seven hills of Rome representing the generic rather than
particularization of the beast could represent worldly government in
general in a sort of City of God versus City of Man context. Humanity
seems to pursue a developed social abstraction of a generalized human
being as a kind of social goal. In the U.S.A. under the corrupting
sway of an anti-democracy elitist broadcast media owned by a
corporate plutocratic invisible empire the pragmatic ideal of a
brainwashed mass-man without anti-corporatist or individual private
interests seems to be the actualization in reduced form of the
political goal of Thomas Hobbes philosophical treatise on the ideal
(British) government of the absolute dictator personifying the will
of the people. I suppose the idea of Nero and Rome as the beast of
Revelation might be the first formal expression of that ideal evil
empire in writing, although some might regard Plato's Republic and
its triumvirate of philosopher-kings as a fascist precursor of the
Great Satan mirroring the condition of the abstract will of the
people that the people are in return conditioned to be (at the will
of the dictator. The late dictator Saddam Hussein was a more recent
example of the form as are/is the string of post-second world war
North Korean Communist dictators).
Karl
Barth in his 'History of Christian Thought' noted what the
philosopher Ortega y Gasset later described as 'the revolt of the
masses' against elite rule in Europe. Barth was applying the concept
to an earlier period of transition leading to the French Revolution
wherein the ordinary became rulers inverting the concept of elite
rule. Karl Marx of course envisioned the concept of the dictatorship
of the proletariat. In fact in modern America within the paradigm of
atheist led scientism with anti-Christian values and even creeping
purges of Christianity from the U.S.A. along with national economic
sovereignty the modern media is a mooning colony conditioner of mass
social identity toward the revolutionary transition of Hobbes' all in
one absolute dictator to one Satanic presence in all subjects rather
than citizens). It is believed I would think that off-market economic
interests have antipathetic potential toward the collective financial
networks of globalism in which all must play or be marginalized. The
house always wins in Las Vegas and the same situation prevails with
preferred networks of concentrated wealth and power.
If
John's Revelation was fulfilled entirely in it's day of the first
century with the Neronic persecutions and the following destruction
of the Temple it is important not to dismiss the book capriciously
from future meaning or lasting examples of human conduct and ways of
being that can be learned and avoided or corrected.
Just
as one ought to learn the ethics of the Lord it is worth drawing
additional inferences from the life and times of the Lord and
Apostles about things not to do such as stoning adulterers or
crucifying persons critical of government incompetence and the
corruption of politicians and other officials of interest.
It
could be that I should have taken an aphoristic structural approach
in this paper being rather inexpert on the primary subject.
On Using Heroin for Government Death Chambers
Death chambers of execution could be more humane and hospice-like.
It
is somewhat remarkable that modern science filtered through politics
bungles the chemistry of executing the death penalty. European
chemical supply houses and other exotic sources of hard-to-find
humane methods of killing killers sometimes embargo the lethal
chemical cocktails from American legal death franchise establishments
because of the cruelty of it all. NPR reports the 'story' and moves
on to legal drugs, homosexual marriage and other pressing issues of
the left side of corporatism. So why not use the abundant heroin
seized from criminals by law enforcement agencies to overdose those
graduating from death row in a humane blaze of pain killing to
oblivion?
If
the death penalty must be forced upon select subjects wouldn't heroin
mists, heroin food, heroin cocktails and heroin injections end the
life of the victim of law happily more or less fading out them to a
state of nirvana and nothingness? Heroin could then serve at least
one useful purpose and save money on buying stupid drug potions from
Europe. Otherwise the government could use a little bit of VX or some
other nerve agent to swiftly terminate the problem and end the
suffering of citizens encountering the never-ending recurrence of
government incompetence.
D.C. Redskins Should Morph to First People
It
seems unreasonable to expect much of R.G. III with the Redskins. If
that politically incorrect name were to be changed to First
People the team might get
somewhere; though with a rookie coach it's improbable.
Few
rookie coaches have won a Superbowl. Perhaps the First
People could trade R.G. III
to Oakland who can't draft a good Q.B. anyway and then try to to
build up a pervasively tough team the Joe Gibbs way. Oakland could
use some Al Davis spirit. Maybe R.G. III has it.

Inventive Parameters for a Motorless Dive Pump
Setting parameters for a useful invention is fairly simple when it concerns something as practical as a human powered air compressor to pump air supply to a diver in the water at the end of a 20' hose. Already existing are innumerable air pumps such as used for bicycles. There are gas an electric motor powered air pumps for divers on a short hose already, and that may have precluded the will to produce a human-powered pump (a companion to the diver on the boat would create the air supply for the diver) for divers in impoverished nations or those interested in avoiding contribution to global warming greenhouse gases superfluously.
There are some parameters for the motorless diver's air compressor that might be helpful. The hose like that of an inflatable boat valve should have a one-way gasket that admits air but won't let it backslide out. The hose might also have a pressure regulator at some point that would bleed off excess air so the diver has a constant air pressure. Additionally there might be some sort of 5 minute reserve bottle in the system sometimes that would also signal the diver in some way-perhaps with a chime, if the air supply decreased to one-minute remaining in order to give the diver time tio surface though he or she could free swim to the surface from 20'.

Epistemology Values in Modeling Natural Operating Systems
The
value and role of the philosophical field of epistemology in
interpreting, modeling and analyzing cognitive paradigms is
a primary activity of education historically.
That
is epistemology or theory of knowledge began at least as early as
Plato and his Academy and continued through classical education unto
the present day. Epistemology casts a wide net on the discipline of
understanding reality and comparative economic systems and they way
they are understood. Some cosmologists today compare reality to a
hologram cast by higher dimensions-perhaps upon the surface of a
black hole and dark, mysterious pools of capital flowing around the
world globally at the speed of light create theoretical paradoxes for
taxation and governance. In order not to remain simple primitives
without benefit of a wild ecosystem to learn and adapt in modern man
must take a philosophical high ground to comprehend the interactions
and essence of innumerable operating systems functions.
Cognitive
and flow-of-thought methods of sentient systems serve to design
synthetic operating systems such as are useful in computers. A purely
materialistic approach to developing an artificial operating system
would alternatively be irrational.
There
is a well known example of the functional of a materialistic
operating system bias in a chess game between Paul Kerr and Bobby
Fischer. Kerr is offered a pawn in a kind of gambit. Materialistic
chess players want that extra pawn or piece immediately when it is
available, yet taking the piece and not considering abstract tactics
may soon place the materialist into a losing position. Like the
canary following a trail of bread crumbs to a position below a
ball-peen hammer the checkmate knock out punch may soon be reached as
the blinding materialist epistemology reaches fruition.
Epistemological
analysis or theory of knowledge analysis is a field of philosophy
studying the foundational relationships of knower and known, truth
values in regard to knowledge and the way reality is perceived and
interpreted by subjective perception and thought. It is a particular
point-of-view approach to constructing a theoretical position drawing
from a number of philosophical field approaches to the basic
questions about human existence in what seems to be a Universe on a
planet with what New Testament users of Greek might call ge, meaning
land (or Earth) as well as water.
Contemporary
physics have informed us of the subtle and complex composition of
fields particles waves and quanta that support the appearance of
forms and external structures perceptible to human beings and then
interpreted with mind and theories of knowledge. researches in the
classification of perceptible forms as particulars in a field perhaps
temporally emphasized in a given shape and mass configuration have
shown the importance of classification systems as epistemological
filters and universes-in-themselves...linguistic ontologies as W.V.O.
Quine might have called them, that are for-themselves interpretive
paradigms and selective templates for constructing different
theoretical models of given aspects of realty.
Systematic
theology is an example of a particular field that selects specialized
paradigmatic tools and templates to construct or induct
hypothetically accurate understanding of Biblical meaning_values.
Cognitive interpretive tools of epistemology are ubiquitous
methodological practices in numerous intellectual activities.
Contemporary designs and management of single and concurrently
installed operating systems and selection of what element of reality
to perceive and the way the data should be processed comprise filters
in_themselves to improve the overall project of accurate
epistemological values.

N.A.S.A., 3D Printers, Drones, Inventions etc.
It
is difficult to guess how far 3-D printing will change manufacturing.
A Wal-Mart or ABC Corp might locate a 3-D printer at a remote
location in Alaska and a consumer could go on-line to buy a product
that would instantly be produced without need for transport delays.
There might be a lot of jobs converting products into 3-D printable
designs. Even N.A.S.A. could get in the business of locating 3-D
printers on space stations, Mars and the Moon to print out useful
tools and components, rovers and solar panels without need of
shipping from Earth.
One
might expect designers to build 3-D printers that can make 3-D
printers. Radical manufacturing and production economic relocations
could follow development of 3-D printers cutting global transport
costs and fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere. yet all is not
peaches and creme with tech innovation obviously. Killing humans and
drugging them is still profitable and will probably remain so for
government and business. Remora drones with stealth and high-tech
stickiness able to attach to international shipping and aircraft to
piggyback to destinations such as Boston release after arrival in
port of call and fly or swim themselves to contraband operators may
arise to let billionaire narco-traffickers and nuke weapons providers
bring their products to consumers/aka soft targets. The potential for
inventive adaptations and synthetic recombinations of existing
technology always exists below the surface of thought. How will
concentrated wealth security protect the rich and royals from nuclear
and biological weapons proliferation and attack in a global economy
with advanced, disseminated chippiness? Why one might wonder, should
anyone care if affordable health care denies double-sized portion of
French potato fries or China rice fries?
There
is a good side and a down side to all the global computer chippiness.
Adolph Eichmann used I.B.M. Holereth card-countin computers to
finesse the transport and liquidation of Jews in the second act of
world war one named logically World War Two ( uncompleted with the
failure to battle to unconditional surrender of the kaiser or the
better choice to not intervene to rescue the British colonial evil
empire to start with), China bought I.B.M.’s PC division and the
Red Army affiliate eventually to makes pretty good Lenovo computers
for consumers after Bill Gate’s use for the exclusive sale of
software for I.B.M. PCs had run its course-there isn’t much good in
that perhaps-and none of course with the numbering and elimination of
ethnic minorities yet the inertia of business and inherited
technology flows on like an amoeba evolving though consuming some
peripheral humans (in Nepal?).
The
first idea though is more conventional and exploits just ordinary
electronics; namely the use of new forms of dehumidifier to capture
water for drinking aboard boats and along dry coastal areas.
Desalinating pumps trend to be expensive yet there is a lot of
dehumidifying tech that might be adapted to sequester water taken
from the atmosphere-perhaps solar powered.
Another
idea is the use of micro-tech for tiny biochemical chips and perhaps
rft tech to monitor major organ functions in the human body. Why not
inject a very tiny prostate health monitoring chips where it can
broadcast the chemical status or presence of cancer cells to a
computer equipped with a bluetooth-like wireless receiver of data.
There are already ubiquitous rft chips and receivers around the
U.S.A. as has been reported. Every individual computer could be made
into a health monitoring device with instant alerts of changes in
body chemistry, temperature or heart performance that require
attention.
If
one thinks about it there should be numerous alternate approaches to
traditional surgical remedies for medical issues with new micro
technology and localized artificial intelligence servo-units.
Billions of people including the world’s poor might received nearly
no cost core medical screening with implanted microscopic health
monitors given the right configuration of mass density size shape
temperature through-put and biochemical ratios, transmission
capability of data and ubiquitous interpretive programs reduced to a
non-invasive size and form.
One
day the Internet may disappear and become transcended by Quantum
computing and quantum information teleportation of a scale with no
limits to anyone’s band-width or transmission capability.
Quantitative information transmission would be instantaneous
world-wide and on-line chess games would be fair with no disadvantage
to a player in a state with low Internet speed compared to a fast
data speed nation. One can look ahead a little and foresee the
possibilities for good chess games.
It
isn’t difficult to imagine quantum-cloud based medical monitoring
of all humans and most life forms one day. Of course it would be
easier for covenant-based Christians to adapt to that advancing
technology than dispensational premillenialists I would think, while
Muslims might still be looking for some way to jihad it all. Godless
atheists could seeking to corner the market and restrict transmission
speed and access in order that a hierarchy of wealth and domination
of power might continue for evil elites. Even so the possibilities
are endless and beyond social amoebazation of any sort that butches
without borders neo-scientific fascists might pursue. After all,
corruption exists and existed without need of advanced technology
though it inevitably seeks to exploit new tech for nefarious
purposes.
Cheap
computer chips mean and potential room temperature superconductors
could revolutionize military strategies. Vast clouds of anti-body
Frisbee sized anti-personnel drones with military explosive could
solar or super-conductor battery charge and recharge with fuel cells
to lie hidden below desert sands or in forest canopies waiting for
human soldiers to recognize with artificial intelligence and attack.
One wonders if being human in combat would become obsolete, or if
anyone would be safe any place from a swarm of flying anti-body
stealth mini-drones.
Civilian
control of military attack anti-bodies would be more ethically
challenging. Civilian political leaders and economic puppet masters
should not just kill soft targets in poor countries instead of
finding alternative and ecologically rational means of adjudicating
political disputes that stimulate armed conflict. The obligation is
upon the advantaged to find a way to bring equal protection of law to
even the poor that do not understand it nor have an advantage in the
economic and legal exploitation of the disadvantaged.
One
would think that production facilities for manufacture of fairly
low-tech military drones would be an advantage to nations such as
China that already have the largest human standing armies that may
become very vulnerable to cheaper-than-a-soldier anti-body war drones
in a plethora of forms. One hopes the Chinese become more Christian
and do not move toward the ethically dark side of the force.
One
might take small comfort with the knowledge that Muslim ideas about
the apocalypse and Armageddon-eschatological ideas are similar to a
Christian premillennial futurist’s paradigm for interpreting the
Revelation of St. John. There are other possible interpretations of
the general meaning of the Revelation of John such as a praetererist
covenant based paradigm wherein the beast was Nero in particular and
Rome in general. Some take that as a foundation for inaugurated
eschatology with a approach wherein Johns writing in a coded way to
the churches and Christians of his era being persecuted also has some
not yet realized futurist meaning too. Even so by the middle of the
2ns century, much less the 6th, most Christians had lost the original
historical context-meaning of the Revelation according to some
scholars, and of course Muhammad’s expropriation of the Revelation
was made with an entirely futurist and very likely erroneous
understanding of the meaning of the Revelation of John serving as a
creative basis of Muhammad’s personal eschatological vision. Maybe
the Muhammadans will eventual take a different view of the Revelation
of John and correct Muhammad’s eschatological errors though I think
it improbable. One can’t be sure that military drones demanding
allegiant kow-towing to a statue of a clone-being in a reconstructed
Temple at Jerusalem and a brand of Nero or 666 on everyone’s wrist
to swipe over a check out counter is inevitable, or Jihad upon Jews
at Jerusalem either for that matter.
There
seems to be a trend in recent decades toward military attack of soft,
defenseless targets directed by politico planners. Terrorism and war
as politics through other means finds fewer peer wars and more dump
death and havoc upon the less powerful even with apologetics from a
propaganda media branch explaining the defensive nature of the event.
Chippiness with designer drones may stimulate the appearance of
adaptive optics camouflaging anti-bodies flying to and fastening upon
tall office buildings or the soft underbelly of a ship waiting for an
optimal moment to emerge from dormancy and fulfill their destined
destruction. A profusion of very cheap flying anti-boy mines with
face recognition cameras and artificial intelligence could even bring
about personalized battle with anti-body flying mines searching for
particular personnel to erase from the list of biological viable
forms. Even the criteria for determining what a soft target is may
become inversed.
Yek
the potential good of anti-suffering attack drones to deliver plates
of food and other relief supplies to difficult to access targets of
mercy is self-evident. Burritos and tea delivered on site through a
storm of bullets with hot sauce could rescue those deemed soft
targets for others from the savage works of the wicked yearning to
deny the equal protection of law and procure consolidation of wealth
topped with concentration of wealth for-themselves. The usual strange
world may become stranger making it seem at times as if
extraterrestrial puppeteers were pulling the strings of pivotal
politicians and the butch broadcast media. Maybe they do now and
then; they seem to act some times as if the main purpose of life is
for humans to filter auto exhaust with lungs, destroy forests, kill
all wild life and melt away every glacier.

G.O.P. Wins-Time for Shovel-Ready Jobs Securing Mex Border
Mexico's
internal criminal turmoil is largely a result of the existence of a
porous border with the more-prosperous for the present nation to the
north-the United States. The vast criminal underworld that flourishes
on both sides of the border is fueled by drugs and human smuggling in
turn fueling political corruption, civil disorder and the failure of
security for Mexicans and Americans alike. The need to close the
Mexican border to any unauthorized immigration is plain; only in a
secure environment can democracy be on an equal footing with
organized crime and the killers causing more fatalities than America
experienced in the Vietnam war. If on an equal footing democracy, law
and order main gain ground taking the city on a hill that is the
nation's capital and those toward the U.S. border back from the drug
traffickers and corrupt politicians making mockery of justice, equal
protection of the law and the opportunity for a secure investment
environment.
Human
intelligence requires fluid adaptivity to civil challenges that
subvert social order and progress. The Republican Party having
retaken the legislative branch of government have a clear and present
obligation to seal the Mexican border with a physical boundary
impassable to casual or determined law breakers. There are numerous
ways that would create jobs and a better economy including elements
of traditional boundaries such as the Romans and Welsh built to keep
the barbarians at bay-in this case the barbarians are the savage drug
traffickers and human smugglers as well as those taking jobs from
Americans and subverting labor wage relations with management
regarding labor supply and the value of labor. The President has been
entirely spaced on the issue and promises unilateral action like King
Canute to flood America with legal illegals whensoever he deems it
desirable to get Hispanic votes.
Creating
a Gulf to Gulf canal that would be used to desalinate salt water
piped in to the continental divide and collect the evaporated fresh
water in adjacent canals with water dripping down from a
condenser-roof would make a vast supply of fresh water in a desert
for drinking and irrigation as well as create a substantial barrier
to illegal crossings with three canals and control roads and berms
patrolled by electric vehicles. Jobs building the zone as well as
maintaining it would be numerous. With water shortages in Arizona,
California, New Mexico and Texas a new fresh water source would be
useful. Water siphoned and pumped perhaps with augmented power from
solar panels would bring water from the higher Pacific Oceans and
spill it downhill from Deming New Mexico toward the Colorado River
and trans-American canal and Rio Grande respectively with a detour in
Texas to cut along the border.
The
value of allowing honest work and honest history to replace the
corrupt milieu of underworld kitsch def facto dominating two
economies in the region would be an American value that has grown a
little rusty in recent decades, The President should support the
effort instead of obstructing it. Shovel-ready jobs across the S.W.
are needed right away-for Americans.

England Returning to Traditional Evil-Empire Role
England
has resumed its traditional role as an evil empire repressing
democracy and stifling religious liberty. We had suspected that
English leadership wished to find a practical new way to burn down
Washington D.C. again, the method seems to be with forced
aristocratic butch homosexuality. Elton John's 'Burn Down the
Mission' song lyric expresses the new evil empire's insider
financial, social, religious takeover ideal of redistributing wealth
and power to the corrupt evil empire. It is insidious social
wickedness.
England
has made a farce of democracy, free speech and religious liberty
disordering law to promote 'British' values homosexual marriage and
godless, atheistic social scientism. England will force closure of
schools that teach the truth of homosexuality is sin. Britain's
evil empire aristocrats have emerged in drag dressing up as bimbos
of anti-Christ and decivilizers of civil rights of democracy and
free speech. In land-grabbing England democracy is tolerated
only so long as one does not dissent with the will of corrupt
and queer aristocrats seeking to devour Russian Eastern Ukraine ,
compel queer marriage laws in the U.S.A. through Rhodes scholars
and their suckophants and rule the world via corrupt financial
networking.
The
New British Evil Empire sucks bad and Barrack Hussein Obama is no
correction of the threat.
Infinity
is a difficult concept to grasp. The planet Earth at the edge of a
little galaxy within a local group of galaxies within a super cluster
within a super-cluster of galaxies in one little tendril of
mass-energy in a grid across the visible Universe with vast blank
spaces amidst is a phenomenal place of space-time where human souls
(means the complete compresent history of an individual life mapped
by God as if it were like unto a digital story) can exist. There are
innumerable wrong philosophical conclusions to draw and implications
to make with the human discoveries of knowledge about the Universe in
relation to the revealed knowledge given in the Holy Bible. Rash,
swollen hubris is too common. Misunderstanding of the Bible is common
too. Space-time values are also misunderstood in physics as
relativity and transcending factors of metaphysics make certain of
comparative time values improbable. If relativity is basically true
then time literals of the Bible are relative to God as well whom is
the absolute creator of all time, mass and energy though it functions
well and independently locally. One cannot be certain where to draw
the line between one time-reference system and another in this
Universe or any others.
The
entire Universe may be like a postage stamp in size surrounded by an
infinity of nothingness capable of holding an infinite number of
postage stamps. It is a mysterious and wonderful thing of which
humanity can know only a part through a glass darkly.
The
Lord Jesus Christ provided certain moral and ethical guidelines for
the liberation of humanity from the bondage to sin and evil
aristocratic rulers making themselves god. Nero had Peter and Paul
executed. Tiberius presided over the execution of Jesus Christ. The
entire Roman imperial line of descended from Julius Caesar unto the
last-Nero-were made living gods and worshiped in Rome and around the
empire. Jesus Christ corrected that and returned human development to
the way of God-that of freedom. The true God and the Son Jesus Christ
is the right way for a lost, fallen humanity to move forward through
the moral darkness of evil empires and heartless, cold-blooded
godless broadcast media forever seeking to make of themselves gods of
the Universe. Americans should know better by now.
British
aristocrats have manipulated dumbed-down U.S. leadership since the
Clinton administration at least into structuring the world to support
a new British financial Empire to replace the colonial empire lost by
the early 1960s. Homosexual corruption is a key to leveraging global
financial power with London as the Mecca of the New Godless Evil
Empire of Fundamentalist Darwinian-Spencer Concentrated Riches. The
predictable censoring of political dissent on the Internet through a
variety of indirect means and direct means of legal repression are
advancing in the United States as well as in the Evil Empire.
