Abortion is Abhorrent to God’s Government!

Abortion is Abhorrent to God’s Government!



“For us murder is once for all forbidden; so even the child in the womb, while yet the mother's blood is still being drawn on to form the human being, it is not lawful to destroy. To forbid birth is only quicker murder. It makes no difference whether one take away the life once born or destroy it as it comes to birth. He is a man, who is to be a man, the fruit is always present in the seed.” (Tertullian A.D. 197, Apology 9:8)

“Whence women, reputed believers, began to resort to drugs for producing sterility, and to gird themselves round, so to expel what was being conceived on account of their not wishing to have a child either by a slave or by any paltry fellow, for the sake of their family or excessive wealth. Behold into how great impiety that lawless one has proceeded by inculcating adultery and murder at the same time!” (Hippolytus of Rome, A.D. 199 - 217; Refutation of All Heresies, 9:17.)


In my eyes, abortion is abhorrent! And I’m sure it is the same -- in God’s view! It is the convenience of ridding (killing) of a fetus growing in the womb -- no matter what trimester. The woman decides (for various reasons: embarrassment, fear) that she does not want to keep the baby, and instead chooses to abort it. In many countries it is allowable -- depending on their laws. In the United States (where I reside) it is by law (Roe vs. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 1973)

But is it right? I suggest that it is not; that it is a grave mistake. One that God emphatically forbids. The killing of children -- who cannot defend themselves -- is tops on God’s list of “no no‘s.” Historically, many societies -- including biblical history -- have been admonished; and even have mysteriously disappeared, due to this practice. One example were the Canaanites, who practiced child sacrifice, offering them to their idol gods. One of the main reasons why He gave their land to the Israelites -- promising that it would be a land of milk and honey!

Human sacrifice (including children) has been prevalent throughout the world -- in both small and large societies. Very abhorrent to God. He sees it as “playing God;” as out right murder; as evil; as repulsive … unlike His Character, and His Government: which is based on love and respect.

In today’s progressive, modern societies abortion is rampant. Nearly all countries take part in this practice. And the death toll is, incredibly, in the millions. And the main reason? Convenience! Here in America, ever since records have been compiled, hundreds of thousands of infants have been killed, by being aborted. All for the sake of allowing a woman to have a choice, to disregard a human life growing inside her. And due to the circumstance of her pregnancy, she decides to cast it aside; sacrificing it for her convenience.

In God’s eyes, there is no reason -- none what-so-ever -- why an infant should be “terminated:” The action that caused the impregnation has no bearing on the imminent assassination of the outcome: the offspring. It is a life; it is precious; it is one of a kind; it is created and owned by God!

What did the Early Church Say?

From: OrthodoxyToday.org:

Given the Christian understanding of the unborn child, it is hardly surprising that condemnations of abortion appeared early in Church history. Possibly the earliest is the pseudonymous Epistle of Barnabas, written in Alexandria, Egypt between A.D. 117-132. It states quite unambiguously: “Do not murder (Greek: phoneuseis) a child (Greek: teknon) by abortion (Greek: phthora), nor commit infanticide.” (19:5). Similarly, a Syrian Church manual known as the Didache (literally, “The Teaching”), written sometime before A.D. 140, gives the same stricture in the very same words: “Do not murder a child by abortion, nor commit infanticide.” (2:2:2). In both these early sources, abortion is condemned as the murder (phoneuseis) of a child (teknon), not a vegetative “fetus.”

Another interesting second-century condemnation of abortion comes in the form of a popular vision of hell known as The Apocalypse of Peter, written between A.D. 125-150. Many early Christians, like Clement of Alexandria, actually thought it was written by the apostle Peter, and so regarded it as canonical scripture. The Muratorian Fragment, written in Rome in the second century, even lists it among the canonical books, though with the proviso, “Some will not have it read in church.” Though certainly not written by Peter, the document does give a valuable insight into the belief of second-century Christians regarding abortion. The Apocalypse of Peter first gives us a vision of the torment of murderers being consumed by beasts and covered by worms (25), then immediately turns to those women responsible for aborting their unborn children:

“And near that place [in hell] I saw another strait place into which the gore and the filth of those who were being punished ran down and became there as it were a lake: and there sat women having the gore up to their necks, and over against them sat many children who were born to them out of due time, crying; and there came forth from them sparks of fire and smote the women in the eyes: and these were the accursed who conceived and caused abortion.” (The Apocalypse of Peter, 26.)

So, according to the Apocalypse of Peter, those guilty of abortion suffer next to common murders in hell. While this account is not inspired Scripture (and shouldn’t be taken literally), it does give us an important insight into common attitudes about abortion among second-century Christians.

You do not Owned Yourself!

Ownership is exclusively the right of the Creator to terminate, not the created. God is the Creator, the Designer, the Producer, the Director -- of the entire universe, and all that is within it. So if we (humans) decide to end a life -- whether it is after birth or before, we are crossing the line. God, and only God has the right to shorten a life span. We all die eventually; with a life span of approximately 90 years, He gives each of us the knowledge of how to care for ourselves in order to live a long and full life. He guarantees this! But we, as selfish human beings seem to want to be like God. To be able to rule and make decisions of life and death.

Life -- no matter what the circumstance -- begins at conception when two human cells converge in the fallopian tube, and immediately start dividing. And as it slowly travels down toward the uterus, it divides even more, until it reaches its target -- the wall of the woman’s uterus. There it divides rapidly during this first trimester (1st to 12th week). The baby’s brain, spinal cord and the main organ – heart will start forming. At the same time the baby’s legs and arm buds would have just popped up. Baby is still an embryo at this stage. However, during the 8th week your baby’s major organs will start forming, the heart will also beat with a rhythm. Arms and legs will start growing longer and toes would begin to form. Eyes will also pop up in the front and your baby will now look more like a human. During the 12th week, your baby’s external sex organ will be visible and can later find the baby’s gender.

Meanwhile, the woman realizes that she is pregnant … and chooses to abort the “thing” inside her. She made a mistake for whatever reason, and needs to ‘cover’ her “goof”, her miscalculation. She calls the hospital and schedules an appointment for the purpose of aborting the fetus. They advise her that it should be done as soon as possible … and she agrees. She is informed that “The Law” states that she has a right to terminate her pregnancy.

Inside her womb, the embryo continues to grow into a fetus, maturing steadily: all life systems are a “Go.” God assures that the creation of life is “automatic” -- all systems check out. This is going to be a healthy baby, at the end of the nine months of development.

But wait! It is the woman’s day of reckoning! She can still say “NO” -- “I want the baby to live.” Many around her give their opinions: some encourage her to go through with the abortion; others plead for her to let it live, and give it up for adoption.

Whom does she listen to? Well, it is the dilemma of American society. They voted for a “Law” that allows a woman to make a choice. That she has the right to decide what happens to her body. Others have taken the stance of protecting the “life” of the fetus -- who cannot speak for itself.




The procedures of the Abortion:

If she decides to go ahead with the abortion, these are the options and procedure:

During an abortion, the pregnancy is removed from the uterus. The options vary depending upon the stage of pregnancy. During the appointment, clinic staff will explain the procedure, risks, medications, options, and what to expect afterwards.

The Abortion Pill:
The Abortion Pill is an option up to 8 weeks LMP. Prescription is taken in pill form at the clinic. It causes the end of the pregnancy. Then 24-72 hours later, the woman uses another pill to cause the uterus to contract and expel the tissue. A follow-up appointment is required to make sure the abortion is complete. Occasionally more than one follow-up appointment is necessary. To use this method, women must live within 2 hours of a hospital. Some women prefer Medical Abortion because the process feels more natural and private; they can decide where they are when they go through the experience, such as staying home for the weekend. Side effects of the second medication include cramping, bleeding, diarrhea, nausea, etc.

Aspiration:
In the first trimester, measured usually to 13 weeks LMP, aspiration is used to empty the uterus. This first trimester abortion involves three main steps: (1) an injection to numb the cervix, (2) insertion of a soft flexible tube through the cervix into the uterus, (3) suction created by an aspirating machine or a hand-held mechanism to remove the pregnancy from the uterus. It is done in an outpatient clinic, doctor's office or hospital and takes less than five minutes to complete the actual procedure.

D & E (Dilate and Evacuate):
In the second trimester to the 26 week. Appointments are made for 2-3 consecutive days. On the first day, an ultrasound (sonogram) is performed to determine the size and position of the fetus. Then, the abortion procedure is begun by numbing the cervix with injections and inserting dilators into the cervix. Overnight these dilators gently expand, opening the entrance to the uterus. The next day, the cervix is again numbed, the dilators are removed, and the doctor uses special instruments to evacuate the uterus and remove the pregnancy. The final step is suction using the aspirating machine. In more advanced pregnancies, additional dilators are inserted on the second day and the fetus is removed on the third day. The medical procedure lasts about 10-15 minutes.

From the View of the Fetus … with an Angel

The procedure sounds routine and painless, but believe me it is not painless for the fetus. Imagine floating in a container of fluid, seemingly nothing in the world to bother you. You are being fed; you are being cared for; everything is coming into being. You are becoming a human being. The only sound you hear is the thumping sound of your mother’s heart. It is soothing and peaceful. You feel like dancing but you know you can’t. You feel like a fish in a fishbowl, wondering what would it be like on dry land. You see someone (or something) seated at your side … and you wonder who she is. You are amazed that you are able to communicate with her. She says that she is an angel and was sent by God to teach you all of the wonders of the universe and the world. That God places an angel with every baby that is conceived, and accompanies them through the nine month process of becoming a full fledged human being. You are comforted by her, and feel at ease with her soft voice and touch.

But what’s this? You are abruptly shaken when something -- a foreign object -- pulls you apart. The angel tries to comfort you, but it’s too late: Your body is wisped out of your only know domain; you are torn to bits. You are pulled into a bright, intense light … and you hear the chattering of sounds. Your arms stretch out, trying to touch the one who is causing this calamity; you gasp for air, for life. And you look to find for her: your friend the angel. And yes! She is still there at your side. She never left you; even though you are feeling the cruelty and vengeance of those that have disrupted your life as a fetus.

You reach over to take the hand of your comforter -- the angel -- and she takes you in her arms; and as you look down upon the scene … you see your broken body, discarded, like a dirty rag into the waste container. The bright red stains of your blood scattered everywhere. But you are now leaving -- prematurely -- with the angel of God to another bright light that you see up ahead: it is the lights of the Gate of Heaven. You are safe!


What is God’s Stance?

What do you think is God’s stance on this matter? Well, I can tell you that that question is an easy one to answer. He will always vote for “life.” He is a God of life. He does not and will not, relinquish His capacity as Supreme Creator of the universe -- to human beings. We do not have the right and the authority to take a life! He reserves that to Himself; and He does that through attrition (usually). Unless there is a very unusual situation: He may simply “shorten” a person’s life span. We do not own ourselves; God owns us, because He is the Creator: our maker!

So when an infant is conceived, God expects the process to go full term. A society that makes it a policy to sacrifice, execute, abort an infant is high on His list of extinction: The Canaanites, the Minoans, the Mayans, the Incas, early Polynesian cultures … and many more. Today, America and many European societies are in jeopardy.

If not for one thing! The true “Sacrificial Lamb:” The Christ, Jesus. God has come to earth and entered the human stream as a fetus; as an infant; as a child, then a boy; and finally as an adult. He became a Servant, a Representative, a Redeemer, a Savior of God. Humanity benefited from this action, by being -- born again! Free from the tyrant; the prince of darkness -- Satan! Although he is still with us in this interim time, before he is sentenced to hell forever. Yes, if it wasn’t for the Gospel of Christ, we would all be doomed to eternal damnation -- Separated from the Life-Giver! God!

God’s Information and Instructions are written in our DNA!

Is God’s Information and Instructions written in our DNA?


God is an entity that encompasses the entire universe; matter and non-matter that fills the vacuum of space; every particle of every object -- including people. But how does He disperse the instructions, the directions to build such wondrous creatures and objects. How does He form the intricacies of the human body; the marvelous shapes of nature. It is pure amazement that our world is full of brilliant wonders.

And the marvelous magic about this phenomenon is that the same laws that govern the billions and billions of stars and galaxies, that extend throughout the universe, also governs the tiny world of the cell, as well as the basic function of the atom and electrons that encircle it. God has created the universe basically with identical systems. So chemicals react the same way here on earth as it would at the far side of the universe. The integrity of all of His creations made according to His character and will.

Let’s take a look at life’s DNA. It is found in all living cells of nature. It is shaped like a ladder with connecting rungs, except that it is twisted in a circular shape -- as a double helix. And within the rungs are “codes” put there by the Creator that determines the nature of the specie, whether it is a cow, a rose or a human being. These codes are called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

The DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, surrounding the nucleolus. They are bunched together like telephone wires tucked within a container. Like strands of colorful wire, intricately coiled, circularly tied together to fill the space allowed . All protected by the cell wall, allowing nothing to enter unless it has the correct code. And if it does the door opens and a messenger delivers a request sent by the brain concerning another part of the body. All systems operating in an orderly manner, like clock work, automatically. With precision the body works at very high rates of speed nonstop, 24 hours a day.

God’s government works very similarly in a world that we never see and experience. The unseen world of heaven is active and busy: angels coming and going like busy bees; all reporting to the CEO; the Supreme Ruler; the All-Powerful -- OZ! (just kidding!) Life is based on His Character, and is an image of life in His government.

Our bodies (as well as all of His creations) are put together intricately and complexly according to His will and word -- and His Character. God is not a human being … but human beings are like God. We have a physical body that is finite and will only last a few years -- averaging 80 to 100 years. There was a time when mankind had a life span of nearly one thousand years. But with all that time, it seems that human beings got themselves into situations that went against the wishes and character of their creator. Therefore, He cut their life span by 90 % -- to where it is today. Not enough time to get ourselves into real trouble.

Our lives, our day to day activities reflect His character; all built into our character -- through instructions, based in our DNA. Whether we know it or not, He is within all of us. His “light” -- His Wisdom -- beams from within every atom, via particles called Quarks and Neutrinos, which dart in and out of the atom, as they travel through space undetected. Seemingly carrying instructions from a central headquarters -- I suggest that they are a tools from God’s Headquarters -- Heaven.

DNA is found in every living thing. And is chalked full of information of the miracles of nature. Just like our computers which operate on an exact system using codes based on a binary system that looks like this: 0101010 etc. Our body’s DNA operates similarly! Except that God uses four (quad) base nucleotide molecules. It is the genetic alphabet of life: A, G, C, and T: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. All codes are based on just these molecules -- arranged in a number of combinations -- creating all of the species of life in the universe.

I will not get into the complexities of the DNA system, as that is not my purpose of writing this book. My aim is to show you that there is an automatic system created by God and placed within life’s systems. And God is there observing every operation, as He is observing each and every one of us, by stationing Himself in every atom of our cells, within every animate and inanimate object on earth. He is everywhere! Ubiquitous to the utmost!

Life is amazingly complex, and we only scratched the surface in this chapter. Illustrations of God’s Character and His purposes are everywhere. Many of the articles in this book reflect His presence. Seek and you will find … His face (although hidden) is right in front of you. You may be blind of Him, but simply open your eyes, your mind, and behold you will see His illustrations, His signs, His face, His image -- everywhere!

Our Court System is a Reflection of Heaven’s System

Our Court System is a Reflection of Heaven’s


What happens when someone commits a crime and is apprehended.? They go to jail, then will have a hearing; face a judge, who will schedule a court date, sometime in the future. Meanwhile, either the defendant stays in jail, or is given a right for bail; which if he pays, would be freed, but must (should) seek a lawyer, to prepare for the court trial, by jury or by a Judge. Either way: he is given the right to defend himself.

Now, what does the court system has to do with God?

God created humankind in His image, and reflecting His ways and character. The court system is an Illustration of the battle of wills between God and the usurper; the accuser: Satan -- an Arch Angel of God's government: Lucifer!

In the larger scheme of things -- the cosmic, heavenly perspective -- God is the Supreme being in charge. He is the CEO, the Ruler, the King, the Father, the Judge -- the Creator.

In this scenario God plays multiple parts. He is the Judge, the defendant, and in a way, the Lawyer (in Christ, Jesus). The accuser, Lucifer (Satan) has accused God of being arbitrary in allowing a lost -- sinful -- human race the right to life. They had lost their membership in God's heavenly kingdom due to the sinful actions of Lucifer, who had usurped God's authority as ruler of the universe, and the entire Kingdom, by wanting to be God himself.

By influencing one third of all angels to go to his side. He simply ignored God, and setup shop on his own, announcing that he was taking over, stating that God was wishy-washy, not suited to be in charge and ruler of the Kingdom.

Here on earth we face daily criminal activities, such as: robbery, murder, rape, and other felonies; and when caught, all falling under strict laws of the land, instilled in us by the creator -- as part of His character.

The court system illustrates God's character and His heavenly court: The Courtroom: God's heavenly courtroom and angels. The Judge: God. The Jury: 12 members: representing the 12 tribes of Israel (meaning all of the chosen people or believers). The defendant or plaintiff: God. The accuser: Satan. The defense Lawyer: The Christ, Jesus. The Gallery of Spectators: The public (all of God' creations). The witnesses: Those elected to testify for or against the plaintiff. When the verdict is decided by the jury; the Judge reads it and states whether the defendant is guilty or exonerated. In this heavenly case: God is vindicated, but at the same time: the accuser is found guilty. And is sentenced to a fiery death, but confined on earth, for a time, until he is executed -- at the second coming of the Christ!

God's laws of the universe (or heaven) is written in the Ten Commandments, that all in his sphere -- His Kingdom -- must adhere to. Breaking one or any part of the commandments would bring separation or banishment from the Kingdom!

Lucifer was a usurper of such crime and was found guilty, and in turn, banned from heaven, to planet earth. But because he was also an arch-angel in charge of the domain of earth and all creatures dwelling on it, they too became tarnished with the same "sin." It became the "fall" of mankind. Angels and human beings fell out of relationship with the Life-giver; with the Creator -- God!

Earth became void of all life ... it became a wasteland ... but God hovered over the waters (Genesis 1).

Before the Fall

Before the Fall, God chose to create the human race simply because He desired a relationship with them. He missed them (as we here on earth miss our parents). He placed them on planet earth, and directed his Arch-Angel, Lucifer, to watch over them, support them and report back to the heavenly council table of angels in God's government.

But when Lucifer decided to run things his way -- it all ended! All that was done, in creating a race that followed the laws and rules of God's government, was lost. The human race under the representation of the angel Lucifer, had fallen with him. Lucifer was banished to the surface of planet earth. But he found that he was in charge of an "empty" planet.

God had a decision to make! Should He simple let His beloved human beings fade off into oblivion or allow them to return back into the "main camp." Back into relationship with the Father; the Creator.

God decided to re-create, refashion the earth and re-instate the human race. All the while the usurper -- Satan -- sat back and watched.

The Story of Salvation begins

The story of salvation begins here: all written in the Bible: the Jewish Torah and the Old Testament.

But Satan protested! He accused God of giving humanity a free ride: His affidavit read, "The human race committed a great sin and broke the laws that you (God) set-up! And now you are allowing them back into the Kingdom -- into relationship with you. you are breaking your own Laws, and therefore should not be trusted! you are arbitrary, wishy-washy, favoring, and should not be the Supreme-ruler of heaven."

Satan had a point! God's nature prevents Him from breaking His own Laws. But Satan was sure that He did. And thought, "Aha, I've got him!"

So Satan called for a trial. A heavenly court trial. god became the defendant, and Satan, accuser. But because God is the ruler, He himself, is also the Judge. The Jury are all of His creations: His entire righteous Kingdom of angels. They will also sit in the cosmic gallery as spectators and observers.

Here on earth, our court system is an illustration -- a reflection -- of the ultimate courtroom in heaven.

When we find ourselves accused of a crime that we know we did not commit. We obviously would want to defend ourselves. Therefore we would find a good lawyer.

God -- with His boundless wisdom -- decides to fix the problem in the only way He knows: take up the job himself. By coming to earth in His Son -- as the Christ, Jesus.

He understands that there is no one on earth that can follow every commandment of His Laws. The job would have to be done by himself. So he would come to earth as an infant.

He came to earth and grew up and lived with the human race, and was perfect in the eyes of his Father, as the servant (described by Isaiah); He would be all that the Nation of Israel could not be: the redeemer of a lost race (due to sin).

And so, the heavenly trial begins:

The Christ testifies and pleads his case for his Father. He states that the Father is true to His name; faithful to His promise; not arbitrary; the Keeper of Justice; Promoter of fairness and freedom of choices. That He is a God of life, of honor, of wisdom, of love.

The Christ discloses His Father's true character: as the All-Supreme ruler of the universe and all that dwell in His Kingdom.

He demonstrates that anyone or group who commits or is involved in a sinful act, could not part take as members of His Kingdom (which is pure, divine and totally righteous). He demonstrates this by being the Christ of God: by living on earth as a man (a God-man); and performing the many rituals called for as a sinless servant of God and His Kingdom.

By becoming the sacrificial lamb, as written in the Torah. By sacrificing himself: being arrested, beaten, nailed to a cross (made of a tree), pierced by a spear, left to die; by defeating death, and by rising again (in life), as the New Adam, the New Representative, mediator (just as all previous types of mediators) of the human race. And by doing so: defeating the accuser, and taking back -- as the new steward -- of the domain of earth, and all that dwell on it.

Human beings have been freed, and will be allowed back into God's Kingdom. God, the Father, has been vindicated, and continues to be Supreme-ruler of His Kingdom.

The accuser has been found guilty as usurper and as the deceiver. And is serving his temporary interim time here on earth for sentencing. He is free to influence all of mankind, who decide to listen to his lies and deception.

The verdict by the jury of the heavenly court, after all the evidence and testimony presented was reached: Guilty!

The Jury has been dismissed, the courtroom has been cleared. The defendant has been acquitted. The accuser has been confined to his cell -- but not completely censored. His will still has power in shadowing and influencing mankind -- but only for a short time.

Then he will be cast into the searing fire -- never to be seen or heard again!

The Creation of The Universe

The Creation of The Universe

Imagine if we could step into God’s mind. Before the Big Bang: He thought: why don’t I create a race of people -- in my own image -- that I can love and provide for; and they in turn will worship and love me. I will create a world, a domain, a planet where they can live in total harmony -- with complete freedom to think and do as they choose-- total freewill.

So in an instant! Through His divine Wisdom, He calculated the precise amount of elements and chemical reactions needed to produce an intense nuclear chain reaction: The Big Bang! An explosion that produced the initial beginnings of a starry universe!

Molecules of energy was generated at precise timing; nothing out of sequence -- knowing that if just a miniscule infraction, He would have to start all over again. So like a fine tuned watch, the process of creating a universal cocoon of the human race would take shape.

Stars were being formed, then clusters of stars into galaxies and clusters of galaxies, building and building … until it was time to concentrate on one immense galaxy called: The Milky Way, tucked away far from crashing and clashing galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The human race was to be created within the realm of millions of stars: of one specially designed spherical shaped galaxy.

Earth -- a planet that God would place His beloved humans -- would have to be at just the right position, where it would have a nearly 100% chance of survival amongst the swirling, dangerous movements of celestial bodies. It had to have a main star (the sun) that was large enough, and young enough to emit life giving light for as long as was needed. The earth had to be placed at the exact distance from the star to promote the intricate systems that God generated for the existence of human and animal life. Protection from distant nemeses, such as roving comets or lurking fragments of older planets, the earth needed to be shielded by larger planets on the outer edge of the Solar System. Menacing objects that are freely moving around would be deflected by these larger planet’s (Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn) strong pull of gravity; in turn, protecting planet earth. God invariably thought of everything!

Earth itself was created, wondrously, for the sake of humanity. God formulated the seasons by tilting the earth on it’s axis at just the correct angle (23 degrees). Aside from the sun, He formed the moon as our night lamp, also to regulate the ocean’s tidal flow. He created a first line of protection from the intense rays of the sun with an electromagnetic layer shield that surrounds our planet -- without this shield, life would cease to exist. On earth, life flourishes with an abundant of flora and forest with the instigation of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Plants and trees consume the carbon dioxide that humans and animals exhale; transforming that into the life-giving rich oxygen that we inhale.

All part of the original plan, even before the beginning of the Big Bang! God’s wisdom, His word has always been there …. dynamically active.

The age of the universe is approximately 14 billion years old. Genesis describes the creation of the universe as well as the earth and all within. His purpose was to have a unique relationship with human beings. Therefore the preparation for the coming of mankind had to be exact. Adjustments had to be made along the way. Complete extinctions took place: 250,000 million years ago: The Cambrian period where 90% of all life was wiped out, paving the way for reptiles and land animals. Then 65 millions years ago, a giant asteroid struck the earth at the Yucatan Peninsula and created a toxic dust cloud that killed all large animals and reptiles; leading to the eventual arrival of pre-humans (Hominids) and later, humans (Neanderthal and Homo-sapiens: Cro-Magnon Man).

The annihilation and extinction of the dinosaurs was important, in the planning stage in building the surface of the earth with plants and animals But 65 million years ago, it all ended!

The dinosaurs perished (within just a few days), their carcasses gradually permeating the layers of earth adding to the formation of the resources and nutrients that we need to survive today.

The earth was forming into a magnificent, shining, gleaming blue, planet placed third form the sun. Tucked in between Mars and Venus. Each uninhabitable due to their hostile, extreme climates.

God’s plan was put in place -- through His Wisdom! And there was not stopping Him!

God Rested on the 7th Day


Genesis describes that the universe was created in 6 days and on the 7th day He rested. But literally, did this happen? I suggest to you that, yes it did! From God’s view it is -- 6 days. He is not limited by Time. But we are … and so we look at 6 days and perhaps would say, “Well that’s impossible!” But actually, I think most of us know (from high school science classes) the postulation that the further you are from earth the slower time travels. That is the key.

From God’s point of view (or from the point of view of the Big Bang) 14 billion years is 6 days. Quit looking at everything from your perspective. Pretend you are the ‘Maker’ looking in (or down at us). Yes, to our mortal perspective the development of the entire universe is unimaginable. To God it’s an “instant” ….. a blink of an eye!

Life itself, began 3.8 million years ago with the onset of ‘water.’ How did water appear? The earth was bombarded with ice-filled comets entering the solar system from great distances. Eventually permeating the earth’s crust with pockets of water. Then slowly emerging to the surface; instantly, triggering information (placed by God) within molecules to initialize cellular life: first, cells without a nucleus, and later, cells with a central nucleus. Life flourished freely for millions of years. The earth was on its way toward intelligent forms of life.

God’s plan was in full force. Although He sees it instantly, as one sequential action -- all happening at once. God is ubiquitous … able to be everywhere at the same time.



God’s Light Keeps the Darkness Away



He is a spirit. He is divine. He is energy. He is light! His presence fills the universe; every object, every animal, plant; every being. His information is embedded within every molecule, within every atom in the universe. He is the ultimate common denominator. He is the “Light” that beams from within all matter, and non-matter. We cannot get away from His shadow, His presence. We are here because He is here. If He leaves, we cease to exist. He is the divine; the ultimate Super Man!

So if God dwells within all of us, what and where is heaven? Most of us think that heaven is up there! Somewhere over the clouds; somewhere beyond, or “over the rainbow.”

Well, yes … heaven is somewhere beyond the rainbow. It is beyond our comprehension; it is a place outside our realm. In a higher plateau or sphere. And God does frequent this magical place. Inhabited by His angels. It is a glorious realm: pure, majestic, righteous. It is a place reserved for the sinless and righteous. It is God’s dwelling; and He operates His government with justice and love. Heaven is just on the other side of the unseen. Invisible. And it has a one way door. We (the tainted) are forbidden to enter this door, due to original sin. The sin committed by the one who wanted to be God; the usurper of God’s will. His name is Lucifer!

Lucifer was an Arch-Angel of the government of God. His duties included steward of planet earth -- including all life forms. He was in charge of all lower echelon angels in the care and support of earth. Lucifer decided that he wanted to take things into his own hands; to be like God. Because of his disobedience, God banished him, and one third of the his followers (fallen angels or demons) to earth. And at the same time condemning all life forms on earth as part of the same sin. So, due to Lucifer’s sin, humanity fell into sin as well. Lucifer was our heavenly representative: he reported to God and His governmental council table of angels. Lucifer became known as the ’Red Dragon.’ And he became the devil: manipulating and influencing humanity throughout the ages.

So even though God strives for perfection, He allows His creations to have the freewill to choose. Freewill is universal, given to all of His creations -- including angels. And so, the reason why there is evil and strife in the world. Evil was present at the Garden of Eden; influencing Adam and Eve.


Redeeming Mankind

God decided to try an experiment in redeeming mankind by creating a human being that was sinless, placing him in a special, heavenly domain known as the Garden of Eden. He was named Adam, and knew only good; he was sinless. And his purpose was to be the forbearer, the leader of a lost race; he was the redeemer. God created a wife for Adam, and they both became the first family -- sinless and righteous in God’s eyes.

But lurking in the darkness was Lucifer -- evil. He knew that in order to redeem a lost race, there had to be perfection in the first born. So the devil -- in the form of a serpent or snake -- came into the presence of Eve (knowing that she had enormous influence on Adam) and tricked her into taking a bite from the apple of ‘Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil’ … and offering the same to Adam. Instantly, the experiment failed, as Adam became just a man -- he had disobeyed God’s command, and at that moment the garden gates opened exposing the chaotic realm of a sinful world. It would take many more generations before another ’redeemer’ would be anointed.

God began His creation of humans by using a well known method called evolution. He knew that the end product had to be unique and special. So, from the onset of animal and human life He put forth a code system called DNA. It is an extremely intricate set of codes that determine who and what each specie became. Every form of life was coded; from plant life to animals, to human beings. These codes are very similar for many species, varying just a little. God experimented by creating tree animals such as Lemurs, monkeys, than Apes, before moving on to pre-humans, called hominids -- Ape-man like creatures that through time evolved by coming out of the trees, into walking upright. From this stage emerged the Neanderthal man (200,000 to 30,000 years ago) that exclusively occupied the region of what is Europe today. They were short, tough, stocky and strong pre-humans that were very adaptable to the extreme climate of northern latitudes.

Through time and evolution, another species of pre-humans emerged ’out of Africa,’ known as Homo-sapiens or Cro-Magnon man (50,000 years ago). They were very similar to what we are today: tall and slender, very agile, and standing very erect, as well as highly intelligent. They migrated, out of Africa and settled in all parts of the earth. They actually came into contact with the Neanderthals; so far, it is unknown whether the two species commingled.

God’s fine tuning was in the process, in finalizing an exquisite specimen from homo-sapiens. These pre-historic humans freely populated the earth from Africa, to Europe, into Asia, Southeast Asia, south through Australia, and the many tropical islands of Polynesia. They eventually migrated north from China, through southern Alaska, down into the Americas, into Central and South America.

The earth -- the world -- 10,000 years ago, was basically populated, from end to end, top to bottom. Life flourished everywhere: in all continents, and many of the islands. But most of the earth’s inhabitants were not organized. It was survival of the fittest; some groups made it, some did not. Gradually groups became tribes, then into villages, then into a multitude of pagan societies. Their intelligence developed slowly; gradually learning techniques for survival.


Planet Earth Thrives

The earth was shaping up. Primitive societies in all the continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America. Ancient pagan tribal societies developed into more complicated idol worshipping, sacrificial, ceremonial types of communities. In general though, still haphazard and chaotic. Then, at approximately 10,000 years ago something amazing happened: God was ready to infuse the neshama (Hebrew: human soul) into humanity; giving them the moral choice of what to choose within their surroundings. The freewill, to live a life as one chooses. To choose one God or false gods. God also gave them the ability to realize that they were created by someone or something greater then themselves. Animals did not have this unique ability, they acquired the nefesh (Hebrew: animal instinct) instead.

So … after billions of years of painstaking adjustments and fine tuning, God decided to pick out of the millions of human beings one man (and his tribe or family) named Abraham. And they lived in the middle east, in a land called Ur. And because God instilled in him the neshama -- the ability to understand a spiritual entity -- he came to know of a spiritual, invisible creator; a supreme Father in heaven; . And because of Abraham’s allegiance, God chose him to begin His program of salvation and redemption for all of humanity.

But in-order to bring a redeemer to light, there must be trials and tribulations; illustrations of trust and obedience by the people of Abraham and his clan. There would be “types” of a redeemers and a system of rituals and sacrificial offerings symbolizing the coming of a redeemer; a representative of all humanity.


The Covenant

God made a covenant with Abraham, as well as his offspring: Isaac, and Jacob. He made a covenant that all of their children would dwell in a land of milk and honey, and live freely, without strife -- for generations. God’s encounter with Abraham began at approximately 6,000 years ago, and he called these chosen people -- Israel (God changed Jacob‘s name to Israel).

Israel -- the Tribe of Israel -- became a type of the coming redeemer (The Christ), and had to follow certain rules or Commandments; regulations given to them at Mt. Sinai after their captivity and during their journey from Egypt to the promised land (part of God’s Covenant). God chose this group of people as an example of what the true redeemer would be. Another words, all that Israel was as a nation … would culminate in one man: the redeemer, the Christ!

God’s plan of salvation was simple: he would teach a small group of human beings to do the will of the Father (Himself); to have allegiance to Him; to follow certain commands. In a way: to be a perfect people; which in turn, would be a prerequisite for the future redeemer -- The Christ, The Messiah!

God’s patience was tried many times, and He actually threatened to terminate the covenant, but each time a type of redeemer or leader “argued” with Him and convinced him to continue the plan. Although in God’s eyes it was a chore keeping His focus on the positive side of such a raggedy group of people. But if it wasn’t for these: types of redeemers, who understood the temperament of earthly beings, the covenant would have be broken long before the entrance into the land of Canaan.

So, for over 5,000 years God’s plan of salvation was in effect; although many times nearly broken. But He always found a way to continue the long journey to the coming of The Christ. God’s initial thought of having humans colonize earth had never wavered. His plan was to create a universe specifically for the introduction and colonization of beings that would live in total harmony with Him, His angels, within His government. Although in order to properly instigate such a program, it had to be done properly and in an orderly manner. There would not be short cuts or instantaneous, magical appearances. It had to be done the long way (of course to God it would be instantaneous); all the bells and the whistles had to be included. There would be no humanity if the slightest glitch was detected in the development of the universe, its contents, and the formation of life, itself!

After the neshama was instilled in all humans, life on earth developed exponentially, until it really got out of hand. So much that God decided to step in and start over through a man of faith named Noah. He instructed him to build an arch large enough to house his family (clan) and two of every animal in the known world. Noah was obedient and the arch was constructed, and God made it rain 40 days and nights; water covered every part of the known world, every living thing perished. And when Noah, his family and all the animals finally stepped out, onto the dry land, God said to go into the land and multiply. God’s plan was back on track -- a redeemer was in the works.


Egypt: Satan's Hell

Through the centuries the generations added up, and eventually it came to pass that Israel found themselves in Egypt, under the ruler of Pharaoh, and lived prosperously for several centuries. But toward the end of 400 years, they gradually lost their respect and dignity from the current ruling Pharaoh and found themselves enslaved. This is a type of all of humanity falling into sin. Israel, chosen by God, became a type -- or symbol -- of the entire human race, and just like mankind, had fallen into degradation and was destined to be under the tyrannical grip of Pharaoh (type of Satan).

But God heard their cries and groans, and of course was right on top of it, by picking out one man: Moses. A story very similar to the Joseph story centuries earlier. Joseph through divine providence, became part of Pharaoh’s government; and so did Moses, living within the elite inner circle. Until one day, he argues with an Egyptian and kills him. He fears for his life and leaves for the backside of the desert, in the land of Midian. 40 years later, after a visit with an angel of God, he returns to Egypt and after much arm twisting, frees his people -- the Israelites.

Moses (as well as Joseph) were types of redeemers; rescuing or freeing a lost people. They were literal types of the coming Messiah. God had chosen this group of human beings not because they were any better than other tribes in the region, but of the faith of their leaders, who understood the goodness of who He was. His covenant with them was bound by His pure justice and integrity. The character of God was the key to “life” itself. He wanted all of the universe to know who He was: His character, His goodness, His love, His generosity, His boundless desire to share his realm with humanity. It is what creating the universe and human beings was all about: companionship!

Moses led his people through the wilderness and reached the land of Canaan in a mere two years. But something happened at the entrance of a land of promise.

The people did not trust God’s word, that all of the land in front of them was their’s for the taking. They sent spies into the land to see if it was possible to invade the various cities for occupation. Which is saying to God that His word could not be trusted. It infuriated Him and He nearly abandoned the covenant with these indignant group. But if it wasn’t for their leader -- Moses -- to defend their actions, pleading to God that “what would the world think if they knew that the God of Israel left them in the desert -- defenseless.” God heard Moses’ plea and spared the 12 Tribes of Israel. But because of their disobedience, they were forbidden to enter the land of promise for one entire generation or 40 more long years.

The Israelites demise was a type of all of humanity after being freed by the future redeemer (The Messiah) at the Cross; at his sacrificial death in paying the ransom of a sinful humanity. The Israelites roamed through the wilderness for 40 years; symbolizing humanity’s interim time (in the wilderness), from the cross till the present, still waiting to enter the land of the true -- Milk and Honey. We (today) are what the Israelites were, in the wilderness! God’s dilemma was to salvage a broken relation between mankind and Himself. And the character of God demands that He brings forth one who is able to live a life of pure righteousness and void of sin. And His first experiment in Adam -- failed. Humanity was condemned because of disobedience: first with Lucifer, then with Adam; and in the works: a nation called Israel! They were chosen as redeemers. What was God thinking? How could an entire nation be considered redeemers of the world?

Well, it was (is) God’s original plan of salvation. Through the nation of Israel, there would come a redeemer, a Messiah --- The Christ.

Unfortunately … Israel failed in nearly every category. Like Adam, Israel could not be trusted. They, from time and time again, disobeyed every commandment set forth by God. For years gone by, Israel fought God’s repeated generosity and goodness. But eventually through His grace and understanding, they emerged as a great nation for hundreds of years under the guidance of amazing leaders: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Solomon, David, and many others. Their time on earth was important and part of the eventual emergence of a Messiah.

After wandering in the wilderness for a full generation (40 years) the tribe of Israel finally came to the Jordan River where they made camp. A new generation brought new life as God’s chosen people, in a land given to them by God. Their leader, also chosen by God, was Joshua (meaning savior), another type of redeemer. It had been a long journey, full of ups and downs, but they were ripe and ready to enter God’s gates.

In present time, we (mankind) are at God’s gates ready to enter His realm. But only God can decide when the grain is ripe to harvest. As the Israelites, anticipated the end of a long journey, we are also looking forward to the culmination, and the gates of a New Kingdom to open. All that Israel has done, we are doing today. It is a recapitulation of the Old Testament history.

Finally, Joshua gave the go ahead to cross the Jordan; and the people slowly entered the shallow waters, symbolically being baptized by God’s grace then gradually meandering on to higher ground. The entire nation of Israel was blessed in water by the Hand of God, in the same way they were blessed when crossing the Red Sea. A prophesy of the future Messiah, entering the Jordan and being baptized by John (The Baptist). God chose Israel to demonstrate their ability to follow His commandments and regulations; to focus on him …. And not on themselves. Which they constantly did, throughout the journey. Regardless, God stayed with them, with the assurance by their representative -- Joshua.

God promise that the land beyond the Jordan would be theirs. And as the months and years passed they accumulated land throughout the region. They built a temple in the City of Jerusalem and they worshipped and carried out the rituals and ceremonies commanded by God.


God's Solution


All along Lucifer (Satan) had been observing God’s scheme of meticulously, and calculably guiding and directing humanity -- through a chosen bunch -- ensuring a distinct generational line toward a future redeemer. And although it was far in the future, never-the-less, it was an interesting endeavor.

God’s plan was ingenious, to the least! He would continuously be active in Israel’s lives; guiding and encouraging their actions toward the grooming and shaping of the coming Messiah. His nature calls for complete determination in seeing that the road to Salvation and Redemption was completed.

He was with the Israelites from the beginning; He is with us (humanity) now. We are never without His presence. He is always on the wings; encouraging us, rooting for us. His is with us when we falter; when we stumble; when we lose our grip.

God was always God. He dwells within a domain that is unimaginable; incomprehensible; beyond our intelligence. Knowing that we can only view things by understanding His Character. But how do we see things from His eyes?

Well, we can only imagine. But through the ’study’ of His Character, we can acquire a close proximity of what and how He sees our world. We know that He is All-Supreme; that He is the only God of the universe -- and beyond. That He is all Righteous! That He is Trustworthy, Holy, Genuine, All-Sufficient, Faithful, The Life-Giver, with Integrity, Honest, Compassionate and Respectful.

God demands that our focus and allegiance is on Him. He is the Creator of the universe and all that dwells within. In an instant He had decided to add a new specie to His realm -- humanity. And He expected them to appreciate and love Him just as much as He cherished and love them. But that was not the case. Many times Israel lost it’s focus, instead became more interested in national pride. God became secondary.

What does God see in such a case? He sees disobedience; self-righteousness; self-indulgence; selfishness … He sees them looking away; not needing God. And when he looks down and sees such things going on, He heads south! As Israel learned when they were conquered by King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian empire. God would teach them a lesson by losing everything that they had acquired --- including their temple. They were exiled for 70 long years.

God had chosen this one group of people as an example to the rest of the world that He was interested in mankind, that He would bring them back from total annihilation due to sin. That through this special breed of people a redeemer would emerge. But through the process, the people of Israel continued to challenge His authority. And through the years and centuries God made it known who was Creator, by reminding them of the consequences.

By ignoring the Creator, and putting Him second was a grave mistake! And Israel suffered the painful consequences. And when they finally realized their mistake, God came back into their lives, resuming “The Promise” -- The Covenant; but only to those who would “Put Him First.” Those that returned from Babylon were called the “remnant.” Most of the exiled citizens of Israel remained in Babylon choosing to take the side of man, and assimilated into their society.

The remnant Israelites returned to their old land of promise and decided to rebuild the temple. They worshiped God and put him first, and followed all rituals. God was pleased, and stayed by their side through the years.

The Wisdom in Life: The formation of a fetus into a human being!


Proverbs 8: 22--31: The Lord created me the beginning of his works, before all else that he made, long ago. Alone I was fashioned in times long past, at the beginning, long before earth itself. When there was yet no ocean I was born, no springs brimming with water. Before the mountains were settled in their place, long before the hills I was born, when as yet he had made neither land nor lake nor the first clod of earth. When he set the heavens in place I was there, when he girdled the ocean with the horizon, when he fixed the canopy of clouds overhead and set the springs of ocean firm in their place, when he prescribed its limits for the sea and knit together earth's foundations. Then I was at his side each day, his darling and delight, playing in his presence continually, playing on the earth, when he had finished it, while my delight was in mankind.

Wisdom is the "information" that God has placed in the creation process. The universe -- the entire universe -- was the size of the pupil of your eye. All of the "information” needed to form the vast cosmic stellar universe was confined within that tiny pupil ball of energy. God's wisdom was seated there with all of the information needed to form "Life!. Then God gave the 'Word' and "boom" it exploded systematically into the dynamic universe that we see today -- including the earth, the sun, you and all you feel and see around you.

Wisdom is the essence of all creation. It is hidden in the tiniest, the smallest of God's kingdom; within the atom and it's quantum world that whirls and permeates around us -- ubiquitously within life itself.

Wisdom and making of a human

At birth a female has 2 million pre-eggs that lie dormant in her ovarian wings. All of the "information" needed to form a human being is there -- guaranteed by God's wisdom. Just as he was there -- lying dormant -- before the "Bang" that formed the universe

So information in forming a human being, in the same manner, waits for that moment, then on queue, implement its process of making a baby.

Two million eggs, surprisingly, many are not viable and by puberty only about 4 hundred thousand remain. At each ovulation, many eggs rupture, and only one egg matures. Because of the disintegration of the egg supply, by the time a woman reaches her fifties, not enough are available to keep up with her monthly cycle.

At ovulation, a follicle in the wall of one of the two ovaries burst open and a mature egg is released. The previously dormant egg divides yielding two cells each having 23 pairs of chromosomes. But here's the kicker: only "one" cell will go on to be a baby. The other cell will "starve" and disintegrate and if the egg is fertilized, the excess supply of intracellular material will benefit in the process of formation of the embryo and fetus in development.

In the development of the universe after the original Big Bang, as the mass of energy expanded -- like the bursting of ovulating eggs -- stars are similarly born (formed) out of nebula clouds spreading throughout the growing universe. Many (like the eggs) do not survive and after bursting out of the clouds disintegrate as "stardust," which adds in the
overall formation and proliferation of planets and "Life" itself.

Wisdom has programmed the making of stars; and in the making of a human being -- in a very identical manner.

The human egg now is swept into the woman's fallopian tube and will be available for fertilization by a male sperm for only 10 to 15 hours. Then it will not accept any sperm, and will itself disintegrate as part of the monthly cycle. The male sperm (a wonder within itself), after bring ejaculated into the woman's uterus has only 48 hours before it too, is not viable. So it immediately (with its whipping tail action) knows the correct fallopian tube to enter and swim against all odds toward the developing egg.

Approximately 3 hundred million sperm enter the vagina, and they die in droves as they – like eager salmon fighting the currents going up river – traverse the chemically hostile environment of the fallopian tube. But by the time they reach the target, only a few hundred remain. Wisdom allows only “One” sperm to enter the egg wall. And even after that single head of the sperm that is within the outer shell of the egg waits, it is not allowed to enter the egg wall until a special “chemical key” ( a specially shaped protein) on the sperm’s head matches the chemical “lock” that assures no other species has invaded the sanctification of a human being. No foreigners are allowed! Only if there is a “match” will the doors open to begin the process of fertilization, and a new potential life to go forward.

The door is closed to all other sperm trying to bang their way in …. Wisdom only allows “One” to enter into the sanctity of God’s creative realm. Oneness: illustrates that there is only “One” God; as well as “One” Christ! And they both equal One!

The ballet of blending both sperm and egg together in joining their respective chromosomes, beginning the building of human being. First of all through the next few weeks in the formation of an embryo.

By the time the egg reaches the uterus, it’s day four. The miniscule embryo, now takes shape through distinct steps in development. All following the directions placed within its DNA and molecular blueprint by the wisdom of the Creator.

The cluster of eggs (called the morula) has transformed itself from a ball of over 60 cells into a sphere shaped ball filled with fluid and called a “blastotcyst” and is ready to attach itself to the wall of the uterus, where it will mesh with the mother’s arterial system to form a placenta. This wall or separation is essential for the developing embryo, as it is an entity foreign or hostile to the mother’s immune system and would seek to destroy it if not for the mediatory function of the placenta.

This transitional organ is a divine illustration of the mediatory work of the Christ (Jesus): without his sacrifice as the mediator for all of mankind, God (like the mother’s immune system) would destroy a tainted human race. But because of God’s grace He came to earth as the redeemer (mediator) and salvaged the entire human race.

The placenta, an amazing organ, is a product of both the fetus and mother, and has a heck of a task of isolating the fetus from the mother. Very cleverly, wisdom has allowed it to protect the intruder (the fetus), to perform its minute by minute, day to day regulatory processes such as: the transfer of nutrients and oxygen, while expelling fetal wastes out to the mother’s circulatory system … and so much more.

As was The Christ, after being born as a human child, was a product of the Father and the human race … and in turn was able to be a barrier between the pure righteousness of God’s Light. He became our redeemer and our representative -- our mediator (even, our placenta).

And as the days go by, into the second week, the intricate ballet of forming the fetus goes full speed ahead. By the third week structures that will be the heart and nervous system emerge. Then the heart starts beating. By week five the key organs are in place: liver, pancreas, thyroid. The eyes dot the side of the head. It is still in the embryo stage, quite tiny (about the size of the “the” in this sentence).

At the sixth week, it has developed exponentially: The eyes are clearly visible; the brain begins to enlarge (it will continue to grow even after birth to approximately, age 25). Arms and legs are visible, although sporting webbed hands and feet like ducks; later as programmed by wisdom, will lose this aberration favoring normal human appendages.

Actually at this stage the embryo looks more like a fish than a human: the eyes on the side of the head, and webbed like appendages, etc. A reminder that all of earthly life emerged out of the sea. The earth was inundated with water during its formation; signally the beginning, in the formation of living one celled life …. and the beginning of the “life” progression.

Birth is the culmination of wisdom’s finest work

At the end of nine months of fetal development, it is near time for the birth process to start. The fetal placenta, sensing that the time for birthing has arrived, stops producing a hormone that for nine months kept the uterine muscles relaxed. In the absence of this chemical inhibition, they begin the contractions of labor.

As we mentioned before that the fetal placenta is (in the larger view) an illustration of humanity’s own so call, placenta (Jesus, The Christ): our “wall” between God and us. We wonder when the final days will arrive before his second coming. The bible states that there will be signs … and then the birth pangs will start. The contractions will begin for a new birth into the Kingdom of Heaven.

As the actual birth begins, the umbilical arteries (the cord), for nine long months, the fetal life-line, clamp shut while the umbilical vein (amazingly) “waits” to shut just long enough for the fetal blood that happened to be in the placenta at this moment to be returned to the fetus. All of this happens in an instant. Again, God’s wisdom had programmed this at the beginning; all part of the instructions given by the ‘Word’ of the Creator.

When The Christ arrives -- it will be in an instant! All believers will be taken (or whisked out ) into His waiting hands, as a Doctor waits to cradle the newborn.

Several things has to happen just before the baby is born, and if it doesn’t take place, the infant is in peril: Blood flow is rerouted to pass through vessels of the lungs and intestines as the lungs prepare to breathe in air and the stomach prepares to digest food -- hopefully the well-balanced nutrients of mother’s milk. A hole between the two sides of the heart that allowed the fetal flow pattern closes as the direction of the flow of blood through the heart – reverses.

This is our metamorphosis! We’ve change from a fish-like organism immersed in a sack full of liquid with eyes on the side of our heads, a snout-like nose, with webbed hands and feet, a one chambered heart, and become a full fledged human in just nine months. Have you ever observed a butterfly transform from one stage to another through its metamorphosis? Amazing!

It was all programmed into one cell just nine months earlier! Such an expression of eloquence commanded from a single molecule. In life, “oneness” is what we represent. At the onset of fertilization, within a single cell contained all the potential that you were ever (physically) to become. Within every cell of your body retains that “wisdom.”

With precision a new born (a human being) has been created, and slips through the narrow canal into the bright light of a new world. The fetus becomes a baby, born of a man and woman!

As human beings we will be born again. We too will slip through the gossamer tunnel of cheering angels, welcoming us to a stairway to heaven; to meet our leader, our friend, our redeemer. The promise that God had made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and all that believe in Him will have been fulfilled.

God's “wisdom” was there all the time … and is there today, supervising and directing the entire process of “Life.” The ultimate “Gift” from God!
