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...

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

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...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
