YHWH's - sink or swim

Verse of the Week

And YHWH said to Moses, Behold, I AM! Bread will rain from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather the matter of a day in its day, so that I may test them, whether they will walk in My Law or not.

(Exodus 16:4)

Thought for the Week

          YHWH has tested His people in every age and under every covenant. These tests were applied to people as nations and as individuals. Israel was tested many times and often failed - and then suffered the consequences. It is no different now. As for nations we see that practically every nation on Earth has failed - including the USA. As individuals we also face tests, in fact Jesus specifically told us we would even be persecuted. Can there be any doubt that the USA will soon face the consequences for rejecting YHWH? Worshippers of YHWH are suffering worldwide - especially under the Muslim henchmen of Satan. Americans and most Europeans have, for the most part, escaped the harsher persecutions. That will change now. Are you ready?

In Paradise Lost, by Milton, Lucifer says (paraphrased) that it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven. Many folks live as if they believe it is better to reign in their life on Earth now, than to serve Heaven now or later. The consequence will be to die the second death in Hell. If you won’t serve YHWH in this life then He will not offer you the chance to serve Him in the next.

          Though America is falling we should not look back at what we once had. Our love for YHWH must always exceed any love for our worldly station in this life - Lot’s wife fatally forgot that. Rather we should maintain our own individual lights and solidify our relationship with YHWH. If nothing else the current troubles in the US will reveal the true colors of the combatants. The shades of gray that so many sought to use to camouflage their indifference and their evil is being exposed for what it truly was. YHWH sees no gray. There is right and there is wrong.

          The US Government is failing its people and surrendering to Satan. We as individual worshippers of YHWH must not surrender any battlefield to Satan. This, the battle in the US, is only that, a battle; and, there are many such battles raging worldwide. We must stand our ground - even if it is our Thermopylae, our Alamo. Satan will lose the war.

          In the war for mankind too many people, especially Americans (since they have never been invaded/conquered), have the false belief that not serving YHWH does not mean they are on Satan’s side. They falsely believe there are no consequences for their indifference. They show their ignorance. Even History teaches us that in every war for territory there are only two sides in the end - one the winner and one the loser. What happened to the Native American Indian tribes that did not fight the encroachment of foreign people into the Americas? Did they, by not “choosing a side”, avoid the consequences? What happened to Jews in France when the Nazis invaded France? Did the Jews who did not choose a side escape the consequences?

Neutrality is a coward’s way of accepting the outcome of a contest before it has commenced. Indifference is a choice. In war indifference has consequences. You can choose to be a loser, by not serving YHWH, only to die an eternal death later; or, you can choose to fight to the death for YHWH and be reborn to live with Him forever.

          The ship of the world is sinking. YHWH is the only lifeboat. To not choose YHWH is to choose certain death. To choose indifference is to choose death.

Quote of the Week

God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them. - C S Lewis

Comment: The fact that the US as a nation has failed YHWH’s tests is no excuse for individuals to surrender to evil. The only acceptable surrender is our will to YHWH’s will.

Supreme Court Justices are not required to have a law degree or pass a bar exam. In fact there are no qualifications required at all - not age, education, or even citizenship. They do not even have to be able to read! COMMENT: It shows!

The US has submitted a formal request to Switzerland to extradite seven FIFA soccer officials arrested in Zurich. COMMENT: With the US court systems overburdened with domestic issues the US Government, in its wisdom, still wastes time and taxpayer money on international soccer officials half a world away. Is it any wonder we losing on the international stage to ISIS.

A U.S. court has ruled the NSA can continue collecting Americans' telephone records. COMMENT: Maybe they will catch someone “threatening national security” - e.g. someone helping the soccer officials in Switzerland!

The human body contains more than 40 billion capillaries extending over 25,000 miles.

The average human heart pumps over 100,000 times a day. That’s almost 22 billion times by the time you reach 60 years of age!

Scientist estimate there are from 10 to 100 trillion synapses (i.e. connections between neurons) in the human brain.

Studies have shown that essentially all 180 organs once listed as evolutionary vestiges have significant functions in human beings.

The human body contains over 200 different types of cells - and a total of over 60 trillion! Comment: Concerning “evolutionary theory”: For nature to “mutate” and “make” all these cells would take:

One Mutation per second - 1.9 million years

One Mutation per minute - 114 million years

One Mutation per hour - 6.8 billion years

One Mutation per day - 163.2 billion years

One Mutation per year - 59.6 trillion years (if my math is right)

Current science says there is an average of only 60 mutations per generation - not per second, minute, hour, or day!
