Bon Voyage Beasts


I just recently watched a moving film (To Walk With Lions) about a elderly man (played by Richard Harris) who has a reserve in Africa where he rehabilitates lions and releases them back into the wild. The film moved me to tears as I I watched the cruelty comitted against these kingly beasts and other creations of the Most High. Over avarice and greed man has slaughter gentle and ferocious creatures such as the elphant and the lion. These creations once roamed Africa and other territories freely, but now they barely survive in preserves and concentration camps (Zoos). The Siberian Tiger is nearing extinction! Will I one day point in a book like that of the Dinosaurs and tell my kid "This is the Tiger, it was like the lion, it is exstinct."

When will the madness end? God made us the stewards of this earth, not rapests and pillagers seeking to exploit every living creature for revenue! I understand the need to slay beasts for food or  because of peril. But hunting them for sport and business is nothing short of atrocious! I weep when I see the faces of lions, tigers, elphants, and God's other creations. I see beasts who have become refugees, who are losing their homes and who are being butchered for the amusement of mankind. There is a spark, a small ember of connection between man and animal, it once was a mighty flame in Adam's day, but now it fades with each passing day. We are the caretakers, these animals are under our dominion! They deserve our attention and our respect! How can we expect to love each other, if we cannot love the creatures of the Earth?

Once the beasts are gone, we are next. There aren't enough dwellings for animals anymore, and the human race faces the same problem. There aren't enough resources left for the animals, for the herbivores plant life is torn up and buildings put in its place. For the carnivore there are less prey because of the lack of vegetation. If these creatures die out, populations will be left unchecked. Let me use an analogy: Seals breed often and their population can exceed thousands. If there were no sharks to eat them, their numbers would swell and soon crabs, lobsters, and fish would dwindle which in turn would effect the fishermen and then us. Its all on a chain, all creation is on chain and if one is eliminated it affects us all! Its time for us to take responsibility and help those in danger. At present it is the Siberian Tiger, which is nearly exstinct because of potures. There is a petition to sign to save this beautiful creation. Of course revenue always helps, but support is important. Get involved, contribute in your community and pray for God to raise up good stewards who can quell the genocide and save these wonderful beasts.  

It's time to re-earn their trust, to show them we are Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve. That we are the servants of the King of Kings. Restore the trust before its too late...

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
