RepreHENsible

 Genesis 3:6

King James Version

6 And when the woman saw 

that the tree was good for food, 

and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 

and a tree to be desired to make one wise, 

she took of the fruit thereof, 

and did eat, 

and gave also unto her husband with her; 

and he did eat.

It was the cackle that gave her away.

My hearing seems to be quite sensitive.

Attuned to a certain pitch, and frequency.

Which either soothes me, or alerts me.

The Harris cackle is the latter.

As born again, all the more my feathers are ruffled.

For it's a very dangerous cackle.

We shall quote what we wrote earlier in another post:

"That cackle will be the world's undoing.

That cackle is a form of sorcery, which creates unrest.

That cackle is a form of witchcraft, which weaves its tentacles into you.

Meant to disturb whatever semblance of peace the world has.

Satan has gone for the "kill".

Beware the hen's cackle."

-- "When a NUT talks to a NOT"

She soars in false bravado.

She wings it, by cackling.

When unable to answer a question, she laughs it off.

As if, in doing so, she can derail the questioner.

Or, perhaps, charm her listeners with her beauty.

For she is, indeed, attractive, and charming.

Just that "cackle"

Which seem to be a "cover".

And yet, the dead "giveaway".

I don't think it's from ignorance.

Maybe just a lack of sincerity.

Maybe she's got strong backers.

And she doesn't need to do research.

All is "set"; all is "done"; all according to "plan".

She believes she can get away with anything.

That's why I call it a false sense of "bravado".

Recently, her group boasted of the money they raised for her campaign.

All the more dangerous.

With all that money, and backers, how will other candidates fare?

Will others have a chance, too?

Or has it all been "cooked"?

Ready to be "served"?

For another round?

Hitler couldn't stand Harris.

That much I gathered from a video I got to watch today.

I know it's a satire, but it's so spot on.

Harris has looks.

She's got charm.

She surely has brains.

And yes, ambition, to boot.

She has much to crow about --

She was Attorney General of California (2001-2017).

She was U.S. Senator (2017-2021).

She was voted U.S. Vice President (2021 - present).

And now, touted by Biden to take his place as president.

No one from the Dems seem to be protesting.

All the more I wonder about that.

Men of ego, allowing a woman to take the forefront?

Something's being "cooked", all right.

It may serve Harris, or it may not.

Is she meant to be a distracting "front"?

That they may move towards the "back"?

One never really knows.

At least, I don't.

But GOD does.

The only time she got on my born again "radar" was when she became VP.

Prior to that, I had no knowledge of her existence.

Because I have no interest in crazy politics.

Observing Biden, I began to look at Harris.

And all I can say was, "uh-oh".

And when I get that "uh-oh" feeling, I am instantly alerted.

I'm not into politics at all.

But somehow, I got alerted to this VP.

Now, I'm alerted to ALL VPs.

And I begin to look at Harris' choice for VP.

For, in the event the president fails to perform his duties, the VP takes his place.

It's constitutional.

The plot, as they say, "thickens".

I still can't erase the haunting image of Jackie Kennedy's face in 1963.

With bloodied dress, standing beside Lyndon Johnson, as he was sworn in as president.

And this, with her husband just shot.

My heart went out to her, unable to imagine her grief, and shock.

And yet, she had to perform her duty, as the late president's wife.

And Johnson looking eager, and triumphant.

That's how fast the VP gets the job.

A death, or assassination, and he's got it.

With Biden, it's quite a different story.

Recent reports show his deteriorating faculties.

Something that grieve me, too.

A born again doesn't applaud affliction.

We grieve greatly.

But we grieve even more at their policies.

And now, a VP who may become president.

Having the potential to head the most powerful nation on earth.

And I think of her flip-flopping statements, and agenda.

Of which the media has already documented.

I think of her "winging" it, with that "cackle".

Laughing her head off, when she's unable to answer an important question.

And a seeming recklessness about her.

And that sense of "bravado".

As if she knows she can't lose.

Repre-HEN-sible, indeed.

I have nothing against her being female.

Nothing against her being giggly.

But I have concern about her disregard for GOD's laws.

How she was reported to have gotten her way to the top.

Her stand on abortion, and woke-ism.

Her ambiguity about Israel.

Surely you've noticed her smirk, at meeting with Netanyahu.

Such disrespect.

The false bravado was there again.

Speaking volumes.

That's when I see America, and Israel, in great danger.

And GOD only knows what other policies she, and the puppeteers, may have up their sleeve.

May we not reel in shock when they announce, and implement it, one day.

"Forewarned, is forearmed," as my father quotes.

That's why I'm telling you all these now.

Like I said, it's the cackle that gave her away.

There is a pleasant way of laughter.

But there is also the harsh kind.

Hers border on the latter.

A laugh that grates at my tender soul.

A laugh that "mocks".

A laugh that will "unhinge" us all.

Satan's really come in for the "kill".

He knows the power of women.

He corrupted Adam, through Eve.

He used Jezebel.

In these last days, it may be Kamala.

And the rest of her kind.

All who adore a different god.

Harris is Baptist, but her policies don't reflect that.

A Baptist is supposed to abide by "sola scriptura".

"the scripture of the Bible alone, 

as the rule of faith and practice"

-- Baptists

In these precarious days, all the more I stick to Scripture.

Politicians will always have their way.

They have an agenda.

But I've got faith.

I don't trust the ways of this world.

My faith is in JESUS CHRIST  alone.

I know GOD sees all, knows all, is all.

He will look after His faithful.

Hebrews 10:23

King James Version

23 Let us hold fast 

the profession of our faith 

without wavering; 

(for he is faithful that promised;)

Harris can be president, if GOD allows.

As He did, when Israel demanded a king of their choice.

In the same manner, Trump can be re-elected, if it is GOD's will.

That's really what I trust -- GOD's will.

His will, is always done.

Only He has power over everything.

He will allow things, for His perfect purpose.

In ways we cannot see, nor possibly comprehend.

The only wise thing to do, is to pray to know GOD's will.

1 John 5:14

King James Version

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, 

that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 

he heareth us:

That's the only choice we have.

That's the ONLY choice that works.

With ABSOLUTE certainty.

GOD's will be done.

JESUS told us so:

Matthew 6:10

King James Version

10 Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.

WORD and images

 Isaiah 40:8

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, 

the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God 

shall stand for ever.

I'm going back to how I used to write before.

GOD gave me my own way of writing when I was a kid.

I didn't even need images then.

Given a word, I could write volumes on it.

Given a theme, the result would be the same.

That's how I found essays were easy for me.

How I loved writing essays!

It was like second nature to me.

Others are good at math.

Others are good at debates.

Others are good at academics.

I have an easy time writing.

I don't know when I started deviating.

Perhaps, it started when someone gave me my first camera -- a Nikon autofocus -- in 1984.

That started the pictures rolling.

Opportunities in the media came in the mid-80s.

Somehow, people "felt" I could write.

Hired as assistant editor, I did short interviews for an expat newspaper.

My weekly "inquiring photographer" section naturally called for photos.

My British editor loaned me a cool cam that took two frames at a time.

As photojournalist, I was also covering the business, arts, culture, and entertainment scene.

Naturally, I was tasked to take pictures of events.

Hired to write for a public relations agency, I had to come up with captions for beauty, and fashion, photographs.

Hired to be managing editor for a business journal, all the more photographs were needed.

Now that I look back into those, I can safely say those jobs made me deviate from how I normally write.

To just write freely, without images.

As born again over 57 months now, of course, I don't write, as the world would have me write.

I have a different MASTER.

I've been writing for GOD.

I write about His laws.

I write about His commands.

I write about His warnings.

I write about His prophecies.

Doing all that makes me workman, and watchman.

Caring for your soul, as well as for mine.

Today, I've decided to go back to how I started writing.

Without images.

No distractions for me, or you.

That ought to be a good sign.

Reflective of my growth as a student of SPIRIT.

Considering how the world's going.

Having a perpetual obsession with images.

Bombarding our brains with too many competing images.

Now, they even add music, to every image on social media.

It's really a "watch me", "admire me" generation now.

As born again, my brain is wired differently.

Where before, it's been said:

"Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."

-- Wikipedia on Arthur Brisbane quote

Today, SPIRIT fed me a different thought:

"The WORD is worth a thousand images."

(A word like "JESUS", for one.)

Further:

"GOD's WORD suffices."

Now, without the distraction of searching for appropriate images for my posts, I can focus solely on GOD's WORD.

And really meditate upon it.

As a baby Christian in 2019, I had a "frenzy" of sorts.

All because I waited so long to know ABSOLUTE truth.

And when JESUS led me to it, I just wrote, and wrote, and wrote.

I couldn't fill enough notebooks, blogs, and posts, to "document" my findings.

Today, the "frenzy" is gone.

Serenity has taken its place.

Now, I can truly savor GOD's WORD.

But that 57-month frenzy had a purpose.

All the ground work was laid, serving as foundation.

Now, I can merely draw from those, as links.

Now, I make time to write, and edit, longer, and slower,

The volume of ideas remains the same.

If anything, there's more to write about now.

And I need not be bogged down searching for images.

Images can be an addiction.

Watch most people everywhere.

They're glued to phones.

Taking a selfie here.

Taking pictures of almost everything.

Documenting every breath, meal, look, or festivity.

And sharing it with the world, who does the same.

With many platforms to enable us.

I'm done with images.

All the images that matter, are in my heart now.

Plus, of course, we have hard copies from photographs.

I come from that generation.

GOD's WORD speaks for itself.

Through the articles SPIRIT inspires me to write.

GOD's WORD suffices.

It is POWER on its own.

With no help from me, or anyone.

It's so powerful, it's all that will remain.

JESUS confirms GOD's declaration through this verse:

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, 

but my words shall not pass away.

The only thing that will remain, is GOD's WORD.

The perfect image for the WORD?

JESUS.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

Curious name HANNAH

 

1 Samuel 1:2

King James Version

2 And he had two wives; 

the name of the one was Hannah, 

and the name of the other Peninnah: 

and Peninnah had children, 

but Hannah had no children.

Definitely a curious, if not strange, day yesterday.

The name "Hannah" surfaces, within minutes of each other.

From one sci-fi movie I saw partly --

"Linguist Louise Banks's daughter Hannah dies at the age of twelve from an incurable illness."

-- "Arrival" movie on Wikipedia

to a documentary, as I shifted to another station:

Host Hannah Fry on "The Secret Genius of Modern Life".

-- Daily Motion

I also learned a new thing.

The word "palindrome".

"A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of symbols that reads the same backwards as forwards, such as madam or racecar"

Like the year 1881.

And HANNAH.

In the science fiction movie "Arrival", little Hannah remarked her name reads the same backward, or forward.

That was my first encounter with the word "palindrome".

What is it about the "Hannah" name today?

Came in two's, one after another.

That's a rare occurrence, so I need to check.

I let SPIRIT lead the way.

I waited for His usual "clues", and "prompts".

What did He want me to find out?

Should I check?

SPIRIT knew I would.

He didn't make me "workman" for nothing.

First, I check "The Name Book", and here's what I found:

Next, I check Scripture.

What does the Bible say?

Is there a "Hannah" in the Bible?

For sure.

We learn that she was childless, so she prayed to GOD.

1 Samuel 1:10-11

King James Version

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, 

and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.

11 And she vowed a vow, and said, 

O Lord of hosts, 

if thou wilt indeed look 

on the affliction of thine handmaid, 

and remember me, 

and not forget thine handmaid, 

but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, 

then I will give him unto the Lord 

all the days of his life, 

and there shall no razor come upon his head.

GOD granted her wish to have a "man child":

1 Samuel 1:20

King James Version

20 Wherefore it came to pass, 

when the time was come about 

after Hannah had conceived, 

that she bare a son, 

and called his name Samuel, 

saying, 

Because I have asked him 

of the Lord.

Another curious thing I discovered today:

In the movie "Arrival", little Hannah died at age 12.

With Hannah's son, Samuel, Christian Answers wrote this:

"Here his bodily wants and training were attended to by the women who served in the tabernacle, while Eli cared for his religious culture. Thus, probably, twelve years of his life passed away."

TWELVE stands for "GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION".

Best of all?

Hannah did not forget to thank, acknowledge, and praise the LORD:

1 Samuel 2:1-9

King James Version

2 And Hannah prayed, and said, 

My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, 

mine horn is exalted in the Lord: 

my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; 

because I rejoice in thy salvation.

2 There is none holy as the Lord: 

for there is none beside thee: 

neither is there any rock like our God.

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; 

let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: 

for the Lord is a God of knowledge, 

and by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, 

and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5 They that were full 

have hired out themselves for bread; 

and they that were hungry ceased: 

so that the barren hath born seven; 

and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: 

he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: 

he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, 

and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, 

to set them among princes, 

and to make them inherit the throne of glory: 

for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, 

and he hath set the world upon them.

9 He will keep the feet of his saints, 

and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; 

for by strength shall no man prevail.

She also prophesied about JESUS:

1 Samuel 2:10

King James Version

10 The adversaries of the Lord 

shall be broken to pieces; 

out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: 

the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; 

and he shall give strength unto his king, 

and exalt the horn of his anointed.

Fulfilling her promise, she sent her son, Samuel, with her husband, Elkanah, to Eli, the priest.

1 Samuel 2:11

King James Version

11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. 

And the child did minister unto the Lord 

before Eli the priest.

Samuel grew up to be a fine boy.

1 Samuel 2:26

King James Version

26 And the child Samuel grew on, 

and was in favour both with the Lord, 

and also with men.

He became a prophet for GOD.

I honestly love being born again.

I never know where SPIRIT will lead me.

But one thing I do know --

It's wonderful being a student of SPIRIT.

It's ALWAYS an ADVENTURE in LEARNING.

From this article, another was "spawned".

And maybe, that will spawn another.

That's how we got to create over 100 blogs.

One verse at a time.

One article at a time.

One discovery at a time.

Even one name at a time.

I thank GOD for His GRACE.

BIBLE versus babble

 

Habakkuk 2:2

King James Version

2 And the Lord answered me, 

and said, 

Write the vision, 

and make it plain upon tables, 

that he may run that readeth it.

These are dark days.

So, which one will you follow?

The BIBLE, or the world's babble?

Let SPIRIT, and Scripture make things clear:

The BIBLE is the WORD of GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

"Babble", as defined by Merriam-Webster is:

: to talk enthusiastically or excessively

: to utter meaningless or unintelligible sounds

Would you rather be clear, or would you rather be vague?

Would you rather be saved, or would you rather perish?

Would you rather belong to JESUS, or would you rather belong to Satan?

It's time to SHUN "profane babblings".

Unbelievers are in great danger.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

King James Version

3 But if our gospel be hid, 

it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4

King James Version

3 But I fear, lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, 

whom we have not preached, 

or if ye receive another spirit, 

which ye have not received, 

or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, 

ye might well bear with him.

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

2 Timothy 4:1-3

King James Version

4 I charge thee therefore before God, 

and the Lord Jesus Christ, 

who shall judge the quick and the dead 

at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; 

be instant in season, out of season; 

reprove, rebuke, exhort 

with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come 

when they will not endure sound doctrine; 

but after their own lusts 

shall they heap to themselves teachers, 

having itching ears;

JESUS said, even the "elect" will be "deceived":

Matthew 24:23-24

King James Version

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, 

Lo, here is Christ, or there; 

believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, 

and false prophets, 

and shall shew great signs and wonders; 

insomuch that, if it were possible, 

they shall deceive the very elect.

JESUS is the ONLY WAY back to GOD:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The decision, as always, is simple.

GOD, or Satan.

Bible, or babble.

Holiness, or sin.

Eternal life, or eternal fire.

Born again, or heathen.

I've chosen GOD's WORD.

I've chosen JESUS.

I am born again.

That's why I'm able to write these.

My heart, and mind, are clear.

Guided by SPIRIT each day.

ETHICS is unethical

 

Psalm 25:21

King James Version

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; 

for I wait on thee.

Why is ethics unethical?

What makes me say that?

Well, let SPIRIT, and Scripture, teach us.

GOD made me born again, so I follow His WORD.

First, what is "ethics"?

Merriam-Webster defines it as:

: principles of conduct governing an individual or a group

: a consciousness of moral importance

: a guiding philosophy

Wikipedia defines "ethics" as:

"Ethics or moral philosophy is the philosophical study of moral phenomena."

Second, let's go to its history:

"It has its origin in the ancient civilizations. In ancient Egypt, the concept of Maat was used as an ethical principle to guide behavior and maintain order by emphasizing the importance of truth, balance, and harmony.[175] In ancient India, the Vedas and Upanishads were written as the foundational texts of Hindu philosophy and discussed the role of duty and the consequences of one's actions.[176] Buddhist ethics also originated in ancient India and advocated compassion, non-violence, and the pursuit of enlightenment.[177] Ancient China saw the emergence of Confucianism, which focuses on moral conduct and self-cultivation by acting in accordance with virtues, and Daoism, which teaches that human behavior should be in harmony with the natural order of the universe."

-- Wikipedia

Third, what gave ethics away:

consciousness

philosophy

ancient Egypt

Maat

ancient India

Vedas

Upanishads

Hindu philosophy

Buddhist ethics

enlightenment

ancient China

Confucianism

self-cultivation

Daoism

natural order of the universe

Complex, philosophical, worldly.

In sharp contrast to the simplicity of the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

And the simplicity of what JESUS taught:

Mark 12:29-31

King James Version

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; 

The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment 

greater than these.

Matthew 22:40

King James Version

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

Fourth, it's all very well if I had not been exposed to those philosophies.

In my search for ABSOLUTE truth, GOD "allowed" me to explore such, among many other things, through new age.

From 1995 to 2019, I had been reading up on esoteric knowledge.

That's 24 years of investing my time, and money, to such.

I bought, read, and even sold such books.

To my great horror now, of course.

Fifth, I learned of those many "gods".

And yet, I couldn't seem to "pin" down truth.

It always remained elusive.

A seeming forever mystery.

Or so, I thought.

UNTIL GOD made me born again 56 months ago.

That's when I really had that "aha" moment.

Making me drop ALL research and studies.

The BIBLE was ALL I needed.

GOD was all I needed.

JESUS was all I needed.

The HOLY SPIRIT was all I needed.

I couldn't possibly have understood the Bible, and GOD's TRUTH, unless SPIRIT taught me.

Everything I know now, is through GOD's GRACE.

He knew I searched so long.

He took mercy upon me when I finally surrendered my human knowledge.

And that's when He gave me HIS knowledge.

Through His commands.

Through the teachings of JESUS.

Through the guidance of SPIRIT.

Which are all found in Scripture.

The world offers "ethics".

JESUS offers simple commands.

Which threatened His enemy , of course:

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

Why are we listening to the enemy?

How can our ethics be infallible?

It serves many gods.

If you don't believe me, check "FOUNDATION".

You'll begin to know who you really serve.

In almost every aspect of work you do.

You will be horrified, too.

It's time to wake up from the fog.

We have been asleep too long.

JESUS clears that fog.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Its time to be FREE from the world's lies:

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

Ethics has something to do with "philosophy".

Right there, and then, it's questionable.

For it is NOT of GOD.

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.
