Could Steven Spielberg reply to the talking mountains of Switzerland, or does he just echo lies?



Creux du Van in Canton Neuchatel showing the limestone layers visible in the Jura Mountains
The Jura is a limestone range running from Lake Geneva to the Rhine river. This area makes up about 12% of Switzerland's land area. Located about 700 meters (2,297 ft) above sea level, this region is characterized by a limestone highland with deep river valleys.
The limestone rock in the Jura is a Jurassic period rock with numerous fossils and dinosaur tracks. The name Jurassic actually refers to the Jura region where these fossils were studied at the end of the 18th century.[11] The Jura is considered one of the most important sites for dinosaur footprints in the world. In one area near the village of Courtedoux, over 1,500 footprints were discovered in between 2002 and 2004 with an estimated 4,000-5,000 footprints still undiscovered.[12]



aaaaah... just one more thing, Mr. Spielberg....... if da dinosaur tracks were made in soft material, how were the impressions preserved while the material hardened? Wouldn't wind or tides or other fluid phenomena have wiped dem out? ...unless dey were covered by some protective material in the interim? Aaaah... can you explain what the talking mountains are telling us? I'm kinda puzzled...

THEROPOD DINOSAUR TRACKS FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS (TURONIAN) MORENO
HILL FORMATION OF NEW MEXICO

DOUGLAS G. WOLFE
New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 1801 Mountain Rd, NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104 (excerpted)
PRESERVATION ISSUES

The Moreno Hill Formation theropod tracks exhibit fine details
that require further study. The fossils are at risk from environmental degradation
and the finer material containing the track impressions will eventually
peel away from the firmer underlying sandstone. The tracks are
also at risk from vandalism. Efforts are currently underway to evaluate
potential preservation options in a challenging wilderness setting. At a
minimum the tracks will be cast following preparation and additional
documentation.




Gatesy (2003), Lockley (1998) and Milan (2006) have discussed
the various mechanisms and factors that affect track imprint preservation,
and the Moreno Hill tracks appear to present examples of several preservation
styles. Several of the "small-sized" tracks noted on Figures 2 and 3
appear as underprints exposed after weathering removed the overlying finer
mudstone to expose the underlying firmer sandstone. The underprints appear
as relatively unsegmented fusiform shapes created by medial-to-distal
digit impressions, suggesting a highly digitigrade posture of the track maker.
The better-preserved Moreno Hill tracks shown in Figures 4 and 5
show (but to a lesser degree) features described by Gatesy (2003) and Milan
(2006), where relatively deep tracks were made in softer, fine-grained substrates.
These include the displacement and subsequent in-filling of fluidrich
sediment as the pes was set down and later retracted upwards. The
track impression shown here in Figure 5 shows some of the en-echelon
sedimentary fabric within the impression typical of such "deep tracks" and
may also preserve an impression of the digit II claw formed as sediment
filled the track during/following retraction of the pes.


First Dinosaur Tracks from the Arabian Peninsula (excerpted)

Background

The evolutionary history of Mesozoic terrestrial vertebrates from the Arabian Peninsula is virtually unknown. Despite vast exposures of rocky outcrops, only a handful of fossils have yet been described from the region. Here we report a multi-taxon dinosaur track assemblage near Madar village, 47 km north of Sana'a, Republic of Yemen. This represents the first dinosaur tracksite from the Arabian Peninsula, and the only multi-taxon dinosaur ichnosite in the Middle East.

Discussion

The earliest sauropods are described from Upper Triassic of South Africa [24], indicating that the initial diversification of the group likely occurred before the separation of much of Pangaea, and as with the ornithopods, certainly predated the breakup of Gondwana. By the mid-Jurassic, sauropod dinosaurs are known from either body fossils or footprints from every major continental landmass except Antarctica [25], indicating a more or less global distribution.



...so deir tracks, eggs, skeletons, nests, etc. are preserved, in many cases, structurally intact, ...on every continent except Antarctica...but deir habitat has been obliterated beyond recognition... can you explain dis, Mr. Spielberg? Because forensic study of past tsunamis in the U.S. Pacific Northwest shows alternating layers of sand and mud as water flowed alternately inland and seaward as serial tsunamis struck the coast, presumably from seismic events at the offshore tectonic subduction zone...

The 1700 Cascadia Subduction Earthquake - Tsunami Deposits along the Cascadia Coast (excerpted)

Since 1987, when Brian Atwater of the USGS first reported finding evidence for repeated subsidence of coastal lowlands in Washington, scientists have searched for further geologic traces of great subduction earthquakes in the Northwest. Shortly after Atwater's discovery, researchers found evidence of a great tsunami in sand deposits along coastal areas of the Northwest.
Joanne Bourgeois, a researcher from the University of Washington, reported that sand sheets covering the buried wetlands along coastal Washington and Oregon closely resemble sand sheets deposited on lowlands of southern Chile by the great tsunami that followed the 1960 Chilean earthquake. Mary Reinhart, also from the University of Washington, studied the thickness of the Washington sand deposits and concluded that they are the result of what was likely a 10 meter tsunami along Washington's coast.
These sand sheets are layers of ocean sand in between layers of soil and mud. Atwater, Bourgeois, Rinehart and others believe that these sand sheets were created when a series of tsunami waves washed over subsided regions of the coastline and deposited sand, which later became covered over in mud.
Researchers considered the possibility that these sand deposits might be the result of nonseismic processes such as storms. However, Bourgeois and Reinhart's studies of these buried sediments and computer generated model simulations concluded that gigantic waves are the best explanation.


...perhaps you could clear up the mystery... of apparent global tsunamis (lateral water flows)... occurring over what are now mountains...






(Update: 08-09-09: On the History Channel's "Prehistoric Monsters Revealed" (erred at 9 a.m. 08-02-09) the paleon-tell-lie-gists said that in 99.9% of the cases, specimens are not preserved as fossils. Preservation in sediments is very rare. I'm somewhat puzzled by these statements. Aren't carcasses much more durable than footprints? If carcass preservation is extremely rare, wouldn't footprint preservation be almost, or totally, non-existent? They sound more like parrots than scientists.)

In this video clip, the "scientists" admit that the so-called "geologic timescale" is formulated to accommodate the evolutionary narrative, not the hard evidence itself. Yet they laud the adoption of the Ediacaran Period as equivalent to the discovery of a new planet.

Geologic time scale (excerpted)

The identification of strata by the fossils they contained, pioneered by William Smith, Georges Cuvier, Jean d'Omalius d'Halloy, and Alexandre Brogniart in the early 19th century, enabled geologists to divide Earth history more precisely. It also enabled them to correlate strata across national (or even continental) boundaries. If two strata (however distant in space or different in composition) contained the same fossils, chances were good that they had been laid down at the same time.

Ediacaran (excerpted)

The Ediacaran Period (play /ˌdiˈækərən/; named after the Ediacara Hills of South Australia) is the last geological period of the Neoproterozoic Era and of theProterozoic Eon, immediately preceding the Cambrian Period, the first period of the Paleozoic Era and of the Phanerozoic Eon. Its status as an official geological period was ratified in 2004 by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), making it the first new geological period declared in 120 years.[5][6][7.....( Punctuation Periods. We should insert these into the Geologic Timescale. Can I have the Nobel Prize in Geology? Never mind. I prefer to keep my soul.)
Cap carbonates generally have a restricted geographic distribution (due to specific conditions of their precipitation) and usually siliciclastic sediments replace laterally the cap carbonates in a rather short distance and cap carbonates do not occur above every tillite elsewhere in the world. The C-isotope chemostratigraphic characteristics obtained for contemporaneous cap carbonates in different parts of the world may be variable in a wide range owing to different degrees of secondary alteration of carbonates, dissimilar criteria used for selection of the least altered samples, and, as far as the C-isotope data are concerned, due to primary lateral variations of δ l3Ccarb in the upper layer of the ocean.[14][17] Furthermore, Oman presents in its stratigraphic record a large negative carbon isotope excursion, within the Shuram[18] Formation that is clearly away from any glacial evidence[19] strongly questioning systematic association of negative δ l3Ccarb excursion and glacial events.[20] As to the Treptichnus pedum, a reference ichnofossil for the lower boundary of the Cambrian, its usage for the stratigraphic detection of this boundary is always risky because of the occurrence of very similar trace fossils belonging to the Treptichnids group well below the T. pedum in Namibia, Spain and Newfoundland, and possibly, in the western United States. The stratigraphic range of T. pedum overlaps the range of the Ediacaran fossils in Namibia, and probably in Spain.[14][21]
Questioning or doubting or flat-out disbelieving the Darwinian account of the origins of mankind (which is the actual belligerent aim of the entire "theory") is categorized as anti-intellectual. Going ad hominem against anyone who challenges your claims or views is anti-intellectual and un-scientific, and is demonstrably satanic.

Noun

  1. (logical fallacy) A fallacious objection to an argument or factual claim by appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim; an attempt to argue against an opponent's idea by discrediting the opponent himself.
Science (from Latin: scientia meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world.
Adam and Eve conducted the first scientific experiment. They tested the serpent's theory against God's Word. The results of that experiment are abundantly evident. The theory proved false and God's Word proved true. They could have trusted God and cross-examined Him, as He invites mankind to reason with Him, BUT NOOOOO!, they condemned Him without a hearing, and God was left to cross-examine Himself in the Person of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The results of that cross-examination shall resound through all eternity. God not only does not lie, He cannot lie. Many will test the theory, as Adam and Eve did, with the same result. Believe Him, and you will live. Disbelieve Him, and in dying you shall die.

.Revelation 12

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The consensus among teachers of Bible prophecy is that the woman in this passage is the Jewish People. From Genesis to Revelation, the conflict is between what God has said and what the serpent has said to contradict Him, and the condemnation or salvation of Mankind is contingent upon which narrative is believed. The serpent cast out of his mouth water as a FLOOD. The earth opened her mouth and swallowed the FLOOD. The vast majority of Jews are of a secular, Darwinist world view because of a flood of voices affirming that narrative of origins. The fossil evidence, which is testimony coming out of the Earth, is actually contradicting Darwin, but as we see in the video,"experts" slavishly and dogmatically adhere to the Darwinist narrative. But what does the global fossil evidence unanimously indicate? Catastrophe and mass extinction.To what does the Scriptural narrative attribute such phenomena? The Noahic Deluge or FLOOD.
The serpent has cast a flood of denials of the Biblical origins of the Cosmos and the Flood out of his mouth. The Earth is testifying in the affirmative to it. The Noahic Flood itself is the lynch pin of the controversy. In the words of Jesus Christ Himself:

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Luke 4

16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

The Alpine shepherds have a beautiful custom of ending the day by singing to one another an evening farewell. The air is so crystalline that the song will carry long distances. As the dusk begins to fall, they gather their flocks and begin to lead them down the mountain paths, singing, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. Let us praise His name!"

And at last with a sweet courtesy, they sing to one another the friendly farewell: "Goodnight! Goodnight!" The words are taken up by the echoes, and from side to side the song goes reverberating sweetly and softly until the music dies away in the distance.

So let us call out to one another through the darkness, till the gloom becomes vocal with many voices, encouraging the pilgrim host. Let the echoes gather till a very storm of Hallelujahs break in thundering waves around the sapphire throne, and then as the morning breaks we shall find ourselves at the margin of the sea of glass, crying, with the redeemed host, "Blessing and honor and glory be unto him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever!"

"This my song through endless ages,
Jesus led me all the way."


"Never bet on the white guy?" As a child, I saw George Kennedy at LAX. As a young teen, I saw O.J. Simpson at LAX. (I also saw Bob Denver at LAX, and in an odd coincidence, later in this movie, a trip to the "Gilligan Islands" is awarded as a door prize.) That is nothing compared to what I'm seeing nowadays.


Hosea 9

1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
4They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
5What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
6For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
8The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
14Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

O'Reilly Factor Correspondences. (With minor proofreading and editing.)

"Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Janeane?"
5-11-09
Janeane Garofalo asked for comment on a "Tea Party" sign that displayed the catch-phrase, "Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis?"
I submit that it is an integrated popular cultural expression conveying a very appropriate emotional response to the financial goings-on in the U.S. Government: Suspicion!
"Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Janeane?"
(Wikipedia sez:Suspicion is an emotion of mistrust in which a person doubts the honesty of another person or believes another person to be guilty of some type of wrongdoing or crime, but without sure proof.)

(Update:6-13-09, supplemental content added.)

(What stimulus was Janeane Garafalo actually responding to? The same stimulus that the "Tea Parties" themselves are a response to: the binary regime "T-aking E-vasive A-ction" by attempting to deflect a direct First Amendment Petition to a diffusionary, incoherent, politically binarized, and pointlessly celebritized "public demonstration" under the disinformative banner "T-axed E-nough A-lready". I'll give you a codekey: "synapses/neurological problem". Elaboration forthcoming. As promised, it will be impossible to miss.)


Brilliant incite.
5-7-09
Mr. O'Reilly,
You have such brilliant incite. Implicit in the use of the word "peacably" in the text of the First Amendment is the exclusion of violence or incitement to violence from its legal protection. Implicit in the use of the words "the government" in the text of the First Amendment is the exclusion of private residences and places of business for public demonstrations. (Pass the word to ACORN, "organized labor" and "Critical Mass", won't ya?) If they have a grievance, they need to bring suit in a court of law. Such demonstrations are wrongful, unlawful harrassment. (Wow! Ya'd never know it in the post-"progressive", 20th and 21st century United States of America, would ya? We can't be bothered by a trivial little thing like "the domestic tranquility" when self-styled "have-nots" can't get their way!)

Harry S.Truman a war criminal?
5-4-09
Harry S.Truman a war criminal?
When "the Left" proclaims that "war is not the answer", it is usually aimed at suppressing an American response to criminal aggression. What they omit to address is that the most reliable way to persuade criminal aggressors that "war is not the answer" (their purported objective) is the certainty of a resolute and decisive retaliatory response (which certainty they invariably call into question). Harry S. Truman decisively persuaded the Japanese Nation that "war is not the answer" to the historically inarguable benefit of all concerned. Would "the Left" please help in keeping would-be aggressors persuaded that "war is not the answer"? (If that is indeed their intent.)

Opposing points of view. (1-27-09 TPM)
1-27-09
Mr. O'Reilly,
You have it exactly backwards. One should value the person who holds an opposing point of view, even if their point of view is detestable. You require people to respect opposing points of view. This is an amoral value. Amoral does not mean neutral, it means anti-moral. Should one respect the views of Hitler? Ahmadinejad? Charles Manson? Nancy Pelosi? Certainly not. Should one value them as people? Absolutely.

Matt Damon's opinion
9-10-08
Does Matt Damon really believe that things like eyes and flight are the result of uncounted trillions of "lucky" random mutations? Because, I mean, he presumes to pass judgment on Gov. Palin's views and that raises serious questions about his qualifications...


Notice how self-congratulatory the "Young Turks" are about the "superiority" they share with Matt Damon.

Clueless kids.
10-24-07

Mr. O'Reilly,
The reason kids are clueless about civics, etc. is the same reason the "left" exists in America: material abundance. If Americans did not enjoy so much leisure and plenty, no one would have time to indulge the ideological hypocrisy and parasitism of liberal socialists, and parents would not tolerate anyone indoctrinating their children with a philosophy of narcissistic, anti-social self indulgence and quasi-intellectual delusions of unfounded moral superiority. They'd be too busy putting them to work to shoulder their share of the family load.


Ezekiel 16:48-50

48As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

49Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

(Is that pecksniffian bloviating,or too popinjay-esque?)


Marc Lamont Hill, PH.D., and Ward Churchill dismissal
7-25-07

How would Dr. Hill characterize this statement?
"All socialists advocate slavery and those that benefit from socialist entitlements such as welfare are, in fact, LITTLE SLAVE MASTERS". (Ward Churchill's "Eichmanns" comments, if Dr. Hill's summary is accurate, are an example of this advocacy.)
I think President Lincoln would characterize it as true:
Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
(excerpted)
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged.

Dr. Richard Dawkins
7-8-07

Dr. Richard Dawkins made the assertion that the founding fathers of the United States were secularists. That is a lie (hyperlink added for clarification at time of blog post) and therefore "spin". The founding fathers were avidly non-SECTARIAN in their philosophy of government. Atheism was criminal and antithetical to the government they founded, and the government of today that tolerates policies that decriminalize atheism is demonstrably NOT the government that they outlined in the U.S. Constitution and other founding documents. Therefore, you are a failure as a "cultural warrior" and the "spin" goes right past you.

Isaiah Washington segment. 1-25-07
1-25-07

Labeling Isaiah Washington's use of the word "faggot" as "bad behavior", while implicitly elevating those who elect a homosexual identity to the status of an oppressed minority in need of special legal, social and political protection as you and Belisa Vranich did in this segment proves that your "culture warrior" persona is camouflage for your role as a diffuser of cohesion in social and cultural resistance to the New World Order, which itself coheres around this unifying and definable principle: anti-Christ. This "rehab"-like atmosphere surrounding Mr. Washington's choice of words, set against the backdrop of his costar's choice of deathstyle, is typical of the Orwellian socio-psychological assault on diversity and personal liberty being waged against the rank and file sheep by the New World Order oligarchy. To describe this warped set of priorities in another way:
Matthew 23

24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Christ calls people to first clean their hearts by repentance and reconciliation to God and neighbor, while the New World Order compels outward conformity, as typified by the approach of Belisa Vranich and those she speaks for. The New World Order is making the world safe for sociopathic predators, like the devil.

Finding WMDs
9-10-03

Mr. O'Reilly,
On your radio show, you said the war in Iraq was about WMDs. It wasn't.Saddam's proclivity for using them in international aggression is closer to the mark. It was about UN security council resolutions.The regime refused to comply. We are enforcing the resolutions that the UN security council did not have the testicular fortitude to enforce itself: Disarmament. Remember? Keep it straight. You're spinning.
Counsel to the United States President elect on the Mideast Peace Process. (Sent to the Obama office of pres. elect website prior to Inauguration.)

The root of the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict is that the "Palestinian" cause is rooted in a lie: that the sovereign nation of Israel occupies land that was once a sovereign "Palestinian" nation.
The solution to the conflict is to replace the lie with the truth: "Palestine" (a name stamped upon the land of Judah in subjugatory malice and contempt by the occupying Roman Empire to emphasize the forcible dissolution and dispersal of the Jewish Nation ca. 70 A.D.) was ALWAYS either occupied by some foreign power or was a sovereign Jewish Nation since the conquest of the land of CANAAN (a long vanished culture) in the days of Joshua, Moses' successor in the leadership of the Jewish People. There has never been a sovereign "Palestinian" nation nor indigenous "Palestinian" culture. The fabrication of the "Palestinian cause" is a foil for what is otherwise naked and malicious Islamic bigotry, intolerance and aggression, or, to cloak it in its Islamic "religious" camouflage: Jihad.
Jihad means that there is only one solution that is acceptable: Caliphate and Sharia. When the Islamic side of a dispute is militarily inferior, meaningless negotiations ( as in the ridiculous "Two State Solution" concept) are permissible under Jihad until such time as the military inferiority ceases to be an impediment to violent conquest. This is why every time agreements are made, as in Oslo, or Camp David, (remember Anwar Sadat?) or wherever, the "Arab Street" erupts in agitations and violence. Its a game of "keep-away" until the acceptable Jihadic solution, Caliphate and Sharia, is realized.
Islam is an immanent ideology, like "liberation theology", secular humanist materialistic socialism, the New World Order, the Third Reich, Imperial Japan, the Tower of Babel, etc. Immanent ideologies envision a socio-political-economic ideal and then marshal materialistic human resources to achieve it in this material world. The bad part about immanent ideologies is that they encounter the obstacles of innate human independence, individual autonomy, and self-interest, and measures taken to overcome these obstacles result in totalitarianism of one form or another, often resulting in genocide and subsequent wars of liberation (with the remarkable exception of the Tower of Babel, where the Divine tactic of confounding their language resulted in what was essentially a bloodless coup. God's solutions work. Man's don't. Immanent ideologies are universally delusional.) The good part about immanent ideologies is that there is no good part, so we in America needn't trouble with them, unless they conflict with the transcendant ideology that found its origins in Judeo-Christian Holy Writ and its expression in our Constitution. Transcendant ideologies leave ultimate resolution of human problems out of human hands, wisely recognizing that they far exceed human limitations.
Here are a couple of examples of transcendant ideology from Scripture:

Jeremiah 29
4Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

5Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

6Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

7And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

8For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.



John 18

33Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.



The truth is that Islam cannot live in peace with its neighbors and remain authentic Islam. Regrettably, as an immanent ideology, it must either prevail or be destroyed. Negotiations are only steps on the path to the former. If that is not the outcome we are seeking, then the latter is the only choice. ( This "War on Terror" is a pointless, wasteful, totalitarianistic, delusional, immanent solution in its own right. The world will be greatly relieved when we as a nation return to the common sense notion that we are not, in fact, God.) Speak the truth about the "Palestinian cause" and its Jihadist objectives, and choose this day which outcome an Obama Administration will seek. An immanent Islamic "peace" or a transcendant American peace similar to the post WWII era? Win or ultimately lose? The longer we put it off, the more difficult the decision, and the effort to win, will be. In either case, let's dispense with costly, delusional, immanent solutions and return to a pragmatic, affordable, workable, transcendant national policy going forward.

The Fizz Bizz First Campaign. ( Whiskey II : A stipulation of the First Amendment Petition entitled "Operation Broken Arrow" .)


Whereas the "Environmental Protection Agency" has classified the gas Carbon Dioxide as a "pollutant" , and whereas all alcoholic beverages and carbonated beverages generate Carbon Dioxide as a byproduct of their production and consumption, and whereas alcoholic and carbonated beverages are a discretionary, as opposed to an essential, part of a thriving economy, and whereas energy production and consumption are an essential, as opposed to a discretionary, part of a thriving economy, it is hereby resolved that a moratorium on all regulatory efforts under the pretext of limiting the generation of Carbon Dioxide against the production and consumption of energy be imposed and remain in force until such time as the production and consumption of alcoholic and carbonated beverages has been effectively banned and caused to cease.

To augment prejudice in favor of making a ban and the cessation of the production and consumption of alcoholic and carbonated beverages a mandatory pre-condition to the regulation of the production and consumption of energy, let the public call to mind the detrimental effects to the public health and safety caused by the consumption of alcoholic and carbonated beverages, and weigh those against the benefits of cheap and abundant energy to the public health and safety and the clauses in the Preamble to the United States Constitution regarding promoting the general welfare. Let the "Global Warming / Climate Change" movement put public health and safety in its proper, Constitutional place in their pusuit of limiting the generation of Carbon Dioxide in the United States of America by giving appropriate priority to the alcoholic and carbonated beverage industries in their regulatory efforts or face criminal charges for promoting policies that are clearly detrimental to the public health and safety and the general welfare of the American People.

RIN 2060-ZA14

Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for

Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed Rule.

SUMMARY: Today the Administrator is proposing to find that
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere endanger the public
health and welfare of current and future generations.
Concentrations of greenhouse gases are at unprecedented
levels compared to the recent and distant past. These high
atmospheric levels are the unambiguous result of human
emissions, and are very likely the cause of the observed
increase in average temperatures and other climatic
changes. The effects of climate change observed to date
and projected to occur in the future – including but not
limited to the increased likelihood of more frequent and
intense heat waves, more wildfires, degraded air quality,
more heavy downpours and flooding, increased drought,
greater sea level rise, more intense storms, harm to water
resources, harm to agriculture, and harm to wildlife and
ecosystems – are effects on public health and welfare
within the meaning of the Clean Air Act. In light of the
likelihood that greenhouse gases cause these effects, and
the magnitude of the effects that are occurring and are
very likely to occur in the future, the Administrator
proposes to find that atmospheric concentrations of
greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare within
the meaning of Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. She
proposes to make this finding specifically with respect to
six greenhouse gases that together constitute the root of
the climate change problem: carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and
sulfur hexafluoride.

Excerpted from Wikipedia:

Fermentation in food processing typically refers to the conversion of sugar to alcohol using yeast under anaerobic conditions.
Ethanol fermentation (performed by yeast and some types of bacteria) breaks the pyruvate down into ethanol and carbon dioxide. It is important in bread-making, brewing, and wine-making. Usually only one of the products is desired; in bread-making, the alcohol is baked out, and, in alcohol production, the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere or used for carbonating the beverage.

Beer is the world's oldest[1] and most widely consumed[2] alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea.[3] It is produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains—the most common of which is malted barley, although wheat, maize (corn), and rice are widely used.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage often made of fermented grape juice

Whisky or whiskey refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash.

A distilled beverage, liquor, or spirit is a drinkable liquid containing ethanol that is produced by means of distilling fermented grain, fruit, or vegetables.

The term spirit refers to a distilled beverage that contains no added sugar and has at least 20% ABV. Popular spirits include brandy, fruit brandy (aka eau-de-vie), gin, rum, tequila, vodka, and whisky.



Distilled beverages that are bottled with added sugar and added flavorings, such as Grand Marnier, Frangelico, and American schnapps, are liqueurs


A soft drink is a beverage that does not contain alcohol.

Carbonated soft drinks are commonly known as pop, soda pop, soda, coke or tonic in various parts of the United States, pop in Canada, fizzy drinks or soft drinks in the United Kingdom and Australia[1] and sometimes minerals in Ireland. The adjective soft specifies a lack of alcohol by way of contrast to the term "hard drink".


Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide is dissolved in water or an aqueous solution. This process yields the "fizz" to carbonated water and sparkling mineral water, the head to beer, and the cork pop and bubbles to champagne and sparkling wine.

Megyn Kelly's support for teenage access to "gay" information at school.


In the interest of "equal access", does Megyn Kelly also support general teenage exposure to the cautionary message contained in the following Biblical passages ?

Genesis 19

27And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.



Ezekiel 16


48As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

49Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.



Matthew 10


5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

11And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

12And when ye come into an house, salute it.

13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

16Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

17But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

18And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

21And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.



Or would she be ashamed to expose them to it? (Despite the fact that it describes trends in contemporary American culture with a frightening degree of precision?)



Mark 8


38Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


Oh, and spare me that judicial "separation of the culture from Christ" claptrap. It's not grounded in the First Amendment. It's a malicious pretext for suppression of the gospel through discriminatory suppression of the First Amendment and equal protection rights of Bible believing American citizens. It won't hold up in a competent court of law, so you'd better find an alibi that will stand up under the scrutiny of Omniscience. (You can stop looking. There isn't one.)



John 3


17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

(Profound doxology to Him Who said to me of His Own incomprehensible accord, "I'll walk with you." In the words of Travis Bickle, except with abject, uncomprehending awe instead of belligerent challenge, "You talking to me?" The number seven hundred and seventy-seven is the token that the LORD gave me to signify the remembrance of His freely-given promise. That is the number that the stock market dropped during the first round of financial bailouts 28 days after I loosed (9-1-08) the petition via email containing the First Amendment Petition "Operation Broken Arrow". That number and the intersection of the financial "crisis" with the Constitutional grievances regarding the United States financial system referenced in the petition can hardly be construed as "coincidental", except by wicked haters of truth who also deliberately misconstrue our very existence in this cosmos as "coincidental". )

Enoch

There are three Enochs mentioned in the Bible (the highly similar name Hanoch is treated separately). The first Enoch is a son of Cain and the second Enoch is a town named after the first (Gen 4:17). The third Enoch is a son of Jared, of the line of Seth, third son of Adam and Eve. This Enoch, who famously "walked with God," is the seventh generation (where Adam is the first).

The name Enoch comes from the verb (hanak 693) meaning dedicate, begin. Fuerst reports additional meanings of imprint, pierce into, instruct, make wise. Derivatives are (hanik 693a) trained servant; (hanukka 693b), dedication. This noun reappears in Hanukkah, the still celebrated Feast Of Dedication (John 10:22).
Remarkably, the root (hnk 692) also yields the derivative (hek 692a), palate, mouth, with connotation of speech.

The name Enoch means Initiated (Jones) or Dedicated (NOBSE). )





Who Told You That You Were Naked?: From the Fall of Adam to the Rise of the Antichrist...by Schlatter, Victor

I have a one word review for this book, of which I have read excerpts:
Snarky.

The author was featured on the "Jewish Voice with Jonathan Bernis" telecast this week. His thesis on humanism v. the God of the Bible was synopsized by Rabbi Bernis as a change in thinking "from a 'six' to a 'seven' ". Mr. Bernis said "Our goal is to get from a six to a seven". Trite, but carnal. ("Our goal is to get..." = human effort.) He is on to something, however.

1 Corinthians 2:13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.


(As Rabbi Bernis and his subsequent guests will appreciate ) "coincidentally", the Spirit of God has been unfolding apocalypse to me concerning the "number of the beast" in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter thirteen. It is NOT "six, six, six" as Snarky Schlatter implied in his relating it to the three-fold (mind/soul/body) nature of humankind:

(Everyone, in unison, read with me:)

Revelation 13

18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.


A single, whole number, as in



2 Chronicles 9


13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;


The key to the number of the beast is "rest".



Revelation 14


9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.


Exodus 20
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.



Six connotes the endless, repetitive and never- finished work of man in this material world. ("No rest for the weary". "A woman's work is never done".)



Genesis 3

17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.



Seven connotes the eternally finished and complete work of God in creation.


Genesis 2
1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.



Hebrews 4:3


3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.


Now, let's examine the two Enochs and Lamechs from the Cainite and Sethite dynasties in Genesis chapters 4 and 5 and see if there is something they can teach us about the realm of six and the realm of seven.



Genesis 4:9 - 5:32



9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.


16And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.


Enoch ben Cain was famous in his day. A real big shot. You know Enoch-opolis? It was named after him. Impressed?


Then you are right at home in the realm of six.

18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

19And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

21And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.



( Ever hear of jazz trumpeter Thad Jones? He was listed in "Playboy Magazine's" "Dream Team" of top musicians in the mid- '70's. Impressed?)



22And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.



Tubalcain ben Lamech achieved earthly immortality of a sort. Ever hear of the Roman god Vulcan? The very mortal Tubalcain immortalized! ( He certainly died in the Flood. The god of metallurgy and fire flushed like human waste by the waters of the holy judgment of the Judeo-Christian LORD God. It goes without saying that he had it coming.) Makes the Greeks and Romans look pretty ignorant and pathetic, don't it? Makes modern secular academicians look even more ignorant and pathetic. Impressed?:



Excerpted from a column by Ann Coulter:



"David Freddoso's magnificent new book, "The Case Against Barack Obama," describes the forefather to "community organizers" like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — the famed Saul Alinsky.


Alinsky is sort of the George Washington of "community organizers." If there were an America-hater's Mount Rushmore, Saul Alinsky would be on it. He tried to hire Hillary to work for him right out of Wellesley. A generation later, those who had trained with Alinsky did hire Obama as a community organizer.


In Freddoso's book, he quotes from the dedication in the first edition of Alinsky's seminal book, "Rules for Radicals," where Alinsky wrote:


"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: From all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom —Lucifer."


I suppose it could have been worse. He could have dedicated his book to George Soros.


Even liberals eventually figured out that they shouldn't be praising Satan in public, so the Lucifer-as-inspiration paragraph was cut from later editions of Alinsky's book. (But on the bright side, MSNBC adopted as its motto: "Who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which.")



End of excerpt.



23And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

24If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.



It is evident from Lamech's musical composition that the sin that devoured Cain has become the religion of Lamech. Contrast Lamech's seventy and sevenfold vengeance with Christ's seventy and sevenfold forgiveness. Also, compare Cainite Lamech's sevenfold/ seventy and sevenfold vengeance with Sethite Lamech's longevity of seven hundred and seventy-seven years. It is apparent that the Spirit of God is drawing a line between the two, or connecting the dots, so to speak. Cainite Lamech has the last word or epitaph on the Cainite Dynasty: we are going from bad to worse with the pedal to the metal. Case closed.



25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.



(Eve -Gen. 4:25- named Seth for "another seed" appointed by God in the stead of slain Abel, whom Cain slew. The victor-seed arises in the place of the slain and the slayer is his own victim.)







Genesis 5
1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

6And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

7And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

9And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

10And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

11And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

12And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:

13And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

14And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

15And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

16And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

17And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

18And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

19And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

21And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

22And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

25And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.

26And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

27And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

28And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

29And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.

30And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

31And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.



"Noah" means "rest".



Matthew 12
1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

2But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

3But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

5Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

6But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

7But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

9And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

10And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

11And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

15But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

16And charged them that they should not make him known:

17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?.......





42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

43When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

The Son of David... a greater than Solomon...one greater than the temple...Lord even of the sabbath day:


2 Chronicles 9


12And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

14Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.



Matthew 12

42The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon ...



Revelation 13


18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.


1 Kings 12
1And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

3That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

4Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

5And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

6And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

7And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

8But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

9And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

10And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

11And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

13And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

14And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

15Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

16So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

17But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

18Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

19So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.



The "yoke" of Solomon and his son Rehoboam in this passage is explicitly a levy of taxes. The number "six hundred and threescore and six" refers to the annual weight in talents of gold that came to Solomon, "Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon." Rehoboam vows to increase the burden of this taxation exponentially and, consequentially, Israel revolts and throws off the yoke of the "House of David" "to this day".

Solomon and Rehoboam are carnal, earthly "kings" of Israel. Earthly governments have no interest in giving the people rest. The yoke of Israel's worldly king is associated with the number "six hundred, threescore and six" and an increasingly pitiless taskmaster of a tax burden. Israel's worldly king symbolized Israel's rejection of the rule of the LORD God:



1 Samuel 8

1And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

2Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.

3And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

4Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,

5And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

6But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

7And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

8According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

9Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

10And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

11And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

12And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.

15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.

16And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

17He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

19Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

20That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.

22And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.



The phrase "he will take" is repeated six times in Samuel's solemn protest concerning the people's choice of king.


( Contrast that with the fruit of the judges that God raised up to deliver His people from their oppressors:
Judges 3:11
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Judges 3:10-12 (in Context) Judges 3 (Whole Chapter)
Judges 3:30
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Judges 3:29-31 (in Context) Judges 3 (Whole Chapter)

Judges 5:31
So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.)



Also, contrast the worldly kings of Israel with the Heavenly King of Israel:

Matthew 11

25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.



Messiah the Heavenly King's yoke is easy and His burden is light. He says, "Come unto Me... and I will GIVE..."

Hebrews 3

7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.



Hebrews 4

1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8For if Jesus (refers to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' successor) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.



In thirty-three years, God, the Son, fulfilled the Law and the Prophets down to the jot and tittle, ratified and satisfied the terms of the Mosaic, as well as the other Covenants of the Hebrew Scriptures and made a New Covenant founded in the righteousness of God imputed to mankind in exchange for the condemnation of sin imputed to the Son of God on the cross, dispossessed the Adversary and repossessed the Cosmos, and totally exonerated and defended the utter blamelessness, holiness and glory of God the Creator in everything that He has done.

Tetelesti! It is finished!



The New World Order isn't just coming, it's already here, and it's been coming for millennia.



1 John 2



1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

13I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.



Revelation 13

1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. ("Radical Christianity is just as dangerous as radical Islam!"- Rosie O'Donnell. If it's physically violent, it ain't Biblical "Christianity".) Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.



If we are collectively and individually responsible for "climate change", when will our activism and sacrifices to combat it be finished? Who will declare them successful? By what criteria? Should we hold our "greenhouse gas"-emitting breath waiting for the verdict? (Note "Revs." Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton side by side in a TV spot on the "issue" of "climate change". Note also Pres. '08 candidates Obama and McCain setting aside their campaigns to tout supra-partisan "national voluntary service".)

When will the "War on Terror" (or "Overseas Contingency Operation") be over? When there are no more people to be terrorized? Or when the United States Armed Forces have been so demoralized and degraded that they are no longer a credible threat to the New World Order's agenda in the U.S. and the American People have lost all interest in liberty?

These are rhetorical questions aimed at raising the consciousness (giving you ears to hear) of my readers to perceive that these and other nebulous and open-ended "causes" and disputes are designed to preoccupy, distract and wear out the population while the apparati of absolute subjugation are entrenched in the physical and virtual (mindset) worlds. I will summarize the "New World Order" in two words: No rest! Every aspect of daily life has become politicized. A kid programming his father to conserve water when brushing his teeth by buying him a tumbler to use is making him a "better man" and the credit card company would have us believe this is "priceless". To echo Jesus' lament over the religious "thought police" of His day, how can they escape the damnation of hell? Note Matt. 23:4.



Daniel 7


19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, Tell me, where are you going?
This he told me

Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.

We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Well, then can I roam beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning.
And maybe it's the time of year,
Yes and maybe it's the time of man.
And I don't know who I am,
But life is for learning.

We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We are stardust, we are golden,
We are caught in the devils bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.



Don't hold your breath, even if it is a lungful of Humboldt County's finest.



Genesis 3



24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.



No rest...ever!



Revelation 14


9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

14And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.



While we're on the subject, remember the Christopher Walken SNL skit famous for "More cowbell!"?



The Blue Oyster Cult song being "recorded" in the skit was:



(Don't Fear) The Reaper



All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain (We can be like they are)

Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

La la la, la la
La la la, la la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women every day (Like Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women every day (Redefine happiness)
Another forty thousand coming every day (We can be like they are)

Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man

La la la, la la
La la la, la la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
He came last night out of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
The door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (Saying don't be afraid)

Come on baby (And she had no fear)
And she ran to him (Then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (She had become like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)



The sketch's subject was the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult and featured guest host Christopher Walken as music producer Bruce Dickinson and Will Ferrell as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle.

At the climax of the sketch, Dickinson exclaims: "Guess what?! I've got a fever, and the only prescription... is more cowbell!" The band agrees to let Frenkle play the cowbell part his way. As the band begins another take, the sketch ends with a freeze frame on Frenkle with the superimposed message: "In Memoriam: Gene Frenkle: 1950-2000."



Don't fear the Reaper?
Max Shreck
Hmmmm.



Want rest? The only prescription is to take Jesus Christ as He is given: freely.



Revelation 22


8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
