Jesus is the King of Israel.
He came to save his people from their sins.
Who are his people? Israelites?
Israelites wrote the various books of the Bible.
Of the twelve apostles, only Paul was sent to the Gentiles.
Paul told Gentiles how to become Israelites.
Gentiles took Paul's works and assembled the Bible.
Then they created the Gentile Church, ... and scorned the name of Israel.
The Book is full of examples where The Creator used people to demonstrate his character, purposes and glory. He loves metaphors, as do eastern people.
Most western people are linear thinkers, which comes from Greek tradition and teachings.
The God of the Bible is not a linear thinker. He does what he wants, how he wants, when he wants. He is not constrained by time and age because he made those things.
People have been taught to believe the earth must be billions of years old because what they can see in the night sky is very old. As mankind has learned ways to see farther than is possible with their naked eyes, they have realized many things are many "light years" away. A light year is the distance light travels in one year, which is nearly six (6) trillion miles.
Space telescopes have photographed objects billions of light years away. Our solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy, which is just one of essentially countless galaxies. The telescopes have recorded images of billions of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and weird things called "quasars."
If a cluster of galaxies is 7 billion light years away, its light requires 7 billion years to travel that distance to us.
People conclude the earth and those distant objects were created in the same instant, and The Book generally agrees with that presumption.
People also conclude the earth and those distant objects have aged at the same rate, at least that is what linear thinkers think.
But what if those distant objects aged faster than objects here on earth? How is that possible?
Well, with God all things are possible, but we do not need to rely on his ability to instantly create something out of nothing.
Weird things happen at "event horizons." Time slows down for one thing.
What is an event horizon? It is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer, according to Wikipedia. Light cannot escape, and this is due to the presence of large amounts of mass. When a large star "dies" and stops shining, the matter of the star collapses in on itself, and if there is enough matter present a "black hole" results. This is all theory, of course, and nobody has ever witnessed it actually happening.
Black holes have been inferred by something called "gravitational lensing." The top photo of distant galaxies demonstrates this phenomenon. The same galaxy shows up three times in a ring near the center of that photograph, according to the text at the link above and in the photograph caption.
The earth with its solar system home must be young; it cannot be billions of years old. Tidal friction is making the earth's rotation slow down. The moon is measurably moving away from the earth and the sun is shrinking.
This is consistent with The Book. Its overall context and chronology support a young earth only a few thousand years old.
Modern pseudo-science's fanciful stories of "carbon dating," "geologic columns" and "geologic
period" designations of rock formations are un-testable and lack objective
means of calibration. They are simply made up. The question for people espousing those notions is, "How do you know? Were you there?"
I believe in the Bible and in a young earth. I also believe scientists when they show me evidence of gravitational lensing and photographs of galaxy clusters billions of light years away. I believe in an aged heavens.
Before God said, "Let there be light," there was water. Did he create all of the matter of the universe as water and have it all in one place? I believe he did. From there, he stretched out the heavens.
That much water would have been enough mass to create an event horizon, and if God expanded everything instead of allowing it to collapse in on itself, it could have been a "white hole" instead of a black hole. The white-hole event horizon would have remained at the center, where the earth was, and time would have slowed down in that region of the universe. Simple: young earth; massively aged quasars. This allows enough time for the light from those quasars and galaxy clusters to travel to the earth for us to see.
I have a book of an account by a physicist with biblical beliefs, and he convinced me this is plausible (Starlight and Time, Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe, by D. Russell Humphreys, Ph.D., 1994). That resource, along with others, helped me move from being a cynical "evolutionist" to a man of childlike faith. These things are not a contradiction to me; they are opportunities to believe and be at peace.
Many people refer to the earth as our "mother." She is our home, and I believe she is feminine. She nurtures us, protects us, and lets us grow.
Yehoshua (Jesus) told his apprentices about The Father, his father. The Book describes Yahweh in majestic and masculine terms.
I think I like the metaphor He may be planning...
We shall see what happens.
This is so much fun!
All glory to God.
UPDATE, July 20, 2025...
Bingo!
Thanks, LJ!
UPDATE, August 16, 2026...
Follow-on from the video in the previous update...
So far...
1)
Synchronicities becoming reality’s living language.
✅
2)
The transcendent function unlocking paradox.
✅
3)
Dreams turning into direct transmissions.
4)
The ego-Self axis dissolving and rebuilding.
5)
Life itself unfolding mythologically.
Anna has talked about this kind of thing (example: Article #5906), although I don't agree with the clear idolatry of "Enki," and discussed that in the July 9, 2026 update of "Gentile Teachings."
These phenomena are definitely a "stretch" for me, but they are clearly happening in my life!
I have included these videos about Carl Jung in this particular post because the first one showed up in my life right after I made the post.
I have given this post a "Rare Mind" label to make it easy to find.
------------------
Anna issued a new article today about how man is created in the image of God and has God's divine power to create.
Witches believe in their "creative power," too, and they use it to cast spells and hexes. The Devil knows all about this and he uses our carnal desires to get us to misuse our gifts. Most importantly, the Devil does whatever he can to lead people away from Jesus. The Devil doesn't care what people do, as long as they do not accept the good news about Jesus.
Anna has claimed Satan has been dealt with. I have my doubts about that. These End Times are perilous and there is much deception.
I work for her and make no judgements, but she is just like the rest of us. As I discussed in Deception, I do not see evidence she comprehends The Gospel. I pray that she does.
1 The bank director, yes; not sure about the Chief Marshal. This is all turning out to be more complicated than it first appears.
UPDATE, August 22, 2026...
The former Chief Marshal continues to vent on Facebook about his views. I am not going to get into what he is saying, but will just comment that he appears to be an "either or" kind of thinker. He did not like what was done to him so his abuser must be evil and everything they espouse and stand for is evil. It's all very emotional and very discouraging. Does he realize he is "throwing the baby out with the bath water?"
I do not agree with everything Anna says and does, and have said so here, but the overall mission and effort continues to make sense and line up with the facts, in my opinion. Am I a cult follower? No, I follow Yehoshua and he has led me in this so far, although I have recently been given different directions concerning my personal mission. Those directions have not invalidated what I have been doing, however.
Yehoshua came to earth where and when Rome was ruling, and things are pretty much the same today. He did not come to challenge Rome, and neither do I. I have been trying to do what is right.
This was the Scripture I read before going to sleep last night...
If I raise my eyes to the hills, from where will my help come? My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip — your guardian is not asleep. No, the guardian of Isra’el never slumbers or sleeps.
Adonai is your guardian; at your right hand Adonai provides you with shade — the sun can’t strike you during the day or even the moon at night.
Adonai will guard you against all harm; he will guard your life. Adonai will guard your coming and going from now on and forever. (Psalm 121, CJB)
The Field (world) is a place where evil comingles with good. We are called to shine like the sun into that dark world.
It also says he used part of the man to create a woman. He created her for him.
That means making a woman was God's final act of forming the universe.
So, near the middle of those 42 majestic powers of ten, The Creator carefully placed his ultimate creation...
you
He did this all for His Glory, and I am overjoyed.
UPDATE, June 19, 2026...
A special friend shared this video with me. (Ignore the clickbait images. Listen to the text.)
Every time man develops a new observation technology, the glory of The Creator becomes more obvious. That is why those who pursue real science are quite often the ones who develop the deepest faith.
Galileo pointed a telescope at Jupiter and saw moons.
Voyagers 1 and 2 traveled to the outer planets and transmitted back astounding and unexpected images.
Space telescopes like Hubble are able to see past the shimmer of Earth's atmosphere to reveal depth and complexity never seen before. (See the photo at the top of this post.)
And now, this video explains how Artificial Intelligence (AI) quickly and deeply analyzed vast datasets to recognize layers of complex and consistent patterns, dumbfounding its entire audience.
Results always reveal even more Glory of our Creator. "Design" and "intention" become even more apparent.
As I recall, the final project of my college Freshman FORTRAN class was to create a program to generate super Fibonacci numbers. The teacher suggested the idea and provided an explanation of the particular sequence, and I wrote the program. I think the "super" version was adding three numbers instead of just two, as described in the Wikipedia article, above.
I find it interesting I was given insight into what Fibonacci sequences are, which today helps me put the above video into context. It mentions how both Nature and The Bible have Fibonacci patterns.
No matter what we do, we keep finding evidence of God.
