For anyone who seeks answers about what is happening in this world, we can say that the Sacred Scriptures (the Bible) offer clarity. Just as water quenches thirst, the Divine Word will calm uncertainty and we will be able to understand the events of daily life. We can say that what we are experiencing what is already written in the Sacred Scriptures by men inspired by God, and we must understand it in this way because it is impossible to interpret it in any other context. For example; it has been said that the following passage from the book of Revelation, chapter 13 supports the claim that the barcode had 666 embedded in it. Verse 18 states: “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”

In the Supermarket today, most people unload their groceries from the trolley and watch as the cashier scans item after item. It just makes sense that older generations hardly remember the days when products were stamped with prices to be rung up manually, and younger ones rarely consider a world where that was the norm. That's because the barcode used on every product in grocery and retail stores all over the globe changed everything 50 years ago. Barcodes are scanned billions of times each day. “…many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” - Daniel 12:4 In summary, we must recognise that in the last half century, there has been an explosion of inventions or, we can say that “knowledge has increased.”

According to George Laurer, the inventor of the UPC/EAN barcode, “There is nothing sinister about this nor does it have anything to do with the Bible’s mark of the beast. Each character is a fixed length, 7 modules and composed of two spaces and two bars. From the outer ends toward the center, the character starts with a space and therefore a single bar is required to ‘close’ the character. The other bar is used to allow the level setting (gain) circuitry to adjust to the contrast of the particular symbol. The center pattern is narrow space, narrow bar, narrow space, narrow bar.This pattern is 4 modules wide and distinguishes it from the a 7 module character thus giving direction and end information to the logic.”

Engineer Paul McEnroe, who spent more than twenty years at IBM, assembled and led the team that transformed the technology from an idea into the reality that endures. It is interesting that when you search on Wikipedia for who invented the barcode, someone named Norman Joseph Woodland appears. Paul V. McEnroe, who led the team that created the barcode, expected the invention to take off but says he couldn’t have imagined its long-lasting impact. “We didn't have a real feel that it would be as big as it was for as long as it was,” he says. George Laurer was a key part of that and proved fundamental in the barcode’s invention. Laurer (who died in 2019) later wrote that there was an initial push to develop the bull’s-eye barcode but he knew that wouldn’t work. “It was obvious to me that that approach would never satisfy all the requirements over the long run,” he wrote. Instead, he pushed for linear bars and an X on the scanning window. “With a simple ‘X,’ linear bars could be read no matter how they were oriented in the scan window,” he wrote.

A literal biblical translation tell us “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond , to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.” - Revelation 13:16

From the perspective of the creators of the barcode and the opinions of thousands of people, barcoding has nothing to do with what is written in the Bible.

However, some time ago I went to a supermarket to buy a bottle of cleaning liquid. When I went to the checkout to pay, the clerk told me I couldn't take that bottle because it didn't have the barcode and therefore couldn't be registered with the barcode reader. I had to search the shelf again for one with a printed code. A large number of people have found themselves in the same situation, with different products, in different businesses, and in different countries around the world.

Taking into account all the above, we could say that the barcode has nothing to do with what is written in the Bible, but we must recognize that approximately two thousand years ago, the apostle John, while imprisoned in Patmos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, received the visions described in the Apocalypse, Revelation 13:17 (Interlinear Greek-English New Testament by Jay P. Green) and it is significant and makes us meditate that in one way or another, if the barcode (666) is not there, what is written is fulfilled…” even that not any could buy or sell “.

FROM THE BEGINNG IT WAS INFORMATION

avtiin

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————------------—

About 14 or 15 years ago on one of our days off probably Thursday because my wife and I work from Friday through Tuesday at Dandenong Hospital in Melbourne, it must have been autumn, because looking out the window across from our table, we could see a medium-sized peach tree completely bare of leaves, looking utterly scrawny and damp from the drizzle at the time. I wondered aloud... had it dried up? My wife replied, wait until spring comes, and then you'll have your answer.

Months passed, and during one of our regular breakfasts with my wife, we remembered the almost-withered tree. Looking out the window, our eyes lingered in admiration on the peach tree, because this time it looked very beautiful, laden with leaves and blossoms.

What happened to our peach tree and what also happens to humanity, flora and fauna of this planet is that the information contained in our bodies triggered the beginning of an unstoppable action that culminates when the organisms of the bodies in question reach adulthood, also repeating in some cases all the seasons.

A Kingdom is the governing influence of a King over his territory , impacting it with his personal will purpose and intent , producing a culture, values, morals and lifestyle that reflect the King desires and nature for his citizens!

…or, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, ! A kingdom is a piece of land, a territory or realm ruled by a king or queen, often associated with a monarchy. In biology, it refers to a major category in the classification of living organisms, ranking above phylum and below domain!

It is very important to make sure we understand what the Holy Scriptures teach us and not be misled by the many images that everywhere depict castles in the clouds as a representation of the Kingdom of God.

The true location of the Kingdom of God is on the northern shores, in the third heaven. ... “For you have said in your heart {to} the heavens I will go up, above the stars of God I will raise my throne .And I will sit on the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.” ( Isaiah 14:13-15 The interlinear Hebrew/English Bible by Jay P. Green Sr.)

The Hebrew word for "heavens" is shamayim, it is in a plural form, meaning "heights," "elevations." It is found in the first verse of the Bible (Genesis 1:1; 2:1).

The Bible teaches that “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… While the explicit phrase “three heavens” isn’t used repeatedly, Scripture does describe different realms called “heaven.” The first heaven is the sky, our atmosphere.(Genesis 1:20), the second is outer space (Psalm 19:1), and the third is God’s spiritual dwelling (2 Corinthians 12:2).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since time began, every generation has dreamed of a perfect world, and to achieve this, humanity has spared no expense, inventing religions, philosophical ideas, political ideas, social ideas, etc. The democratic ideal is the concept of freedom. Unfortunately, societies and communities that have experienced this freedom are still rife with racism, prejudice, injustice, corruption, abuse, etc.In the end, humanity has become a prisoner of its pursuit of freedom. The human failure of achieve control and mastery over his enviroment and circumstances has left man with a deep desire for a brand new world . This is the source and motivation of religious and spiritual development and practice.

In every religion we discover the component that promises power to control circumstances and even death. Millions are attracted to witchcraft and spiritism because the promise for power over people and circumstances. The human spirit is possessed by dominion, rules and control of the world. Currently, there is still no action that delivers what is necessary to obtain what humanity requires. In the mperative need of a prompt solution the word of God give us the information of a special kind of government called “Kingdom”, and 0f course, the person in charge of governing must be a person of impeccable conduct and spiritual holiness, in other words, a being who does not belong to the human race.

The holy scriptures (Bible) remind us of the words of the Creator: …And I will put enmity between you and the woman , and between your offspring and hers; he will crash your head , and you will strike his heel. (Gen 3:15 NIV) Jesus’ coming was prophesied in Eden. When Adam and Eve first heard the promise, they looked for its quick fulfillment. They happily welcomed their first-born son, hoping that he might be the Savior. But the fulfillment of the promise was delayed 4000 years. From the time of Enoch, the promise was re-given through patriarchs and prophets, yet the Messiah came not. From the time God pronounced this sentence until the voice of John the Baptist was heard in the desert of Judea..."Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near", 4000 years pass… But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, and a woman gave birth to him. (Galat. 4:4 NIV) Why did God wait so long in human history to send Jesus? A good question…

The Messiah come at the time predicted in Daniel’s prophecy, He came at the most favorable time in all history. The world was under one government (Rome) with a universal language (Greek). The world was at peace which made traveling from one place to another fairly safe. The Jews were able to go everywhere. And from all countries of the world, they also came to worship at the feasts of Jerusalem, and return to their homes with the news of the Messiah’s coming thus bearing their witness everywhere.

The Holy books were in the Greek language—the LXX—for about two hundred years. And the Scriptures were available to truth seekers. The pagan religions proved fruitless in bringing peace to men. People were unsatisfied with their religious dry doctrines and were looking for answers that could fulfill the desires of their hearts. Many non- Jewish people who had read these writings were looking forward to the coming Messiah. Heaven set this favorable time for taking the gospel message to the world from Jerusalem. God is perfect in wisdom and knowledge (Psalm 147:5), and all events in His great heavenly plan are to be fulfilled at His appointed time. So, what’s the answer to why Jesus didn’t come earlier? And the answer is this: because the time wasn’t full — whatever that means. Which pushes the question forward just a little bit — namely, what is the fullness of time? Why did there need to be a fullness of time? What made it full? Well, I think the we must make really clear that God governs times and seasons, also history. The times start when He said start.

The Aegean civilizations, Stone and Bronze Age that arose and flourished in the area of the Aegean Sea in the periods, respectively, about 7000–3000 BC and about 3000–1000 BC. The area consists of Crete, the Cyclades and some other Islnds, and the Greek mainland, including the Peloponnese, central Greece, and Thessaly. The first high civilization on European soil, with stately palaces, fine craftsmanship, and writing, developed on the island of Crete. In ancient Greek civilization, the period following Mycenaean civilization, which ended about 1200 BC, to the death of Alexander the Great, in 323 BC. It was a period of political, philosophical, artistic, and scientific achievements that formed a legacy with unparalleled influence. The larger historical period spanning from the output of ancient Greek author Homer in the 8th century to the decline of the Roman Empire in the 5th century is known as "Classical antiquity," encompassing Greco-Roman culture, playing a major role in the Mediterranean sphere of influence and in the creation of Western civilization, and shaping areas as diverse as law, architecture, art, language, poetry, rhetoric, politics, and philosophy. In the early period of Ancient Rome, before the establishment of the Republic in 509 BC, men would take power as kings. This was known as the period of the Seven Early Kings of Ancient Rome. The reign of the seven early kings lasted more than two hundred years. Even though it is historically thought that early Rome had seven kings, this cannot be certain as Romes records were destroyed in 390 BC. 

The early kings of Ancient Rome possessed absolute power over Roman citizens. During this time in Ancient Rome, there was also the Senate. At its start, the Senate was simply a branch of government consisting of advisors, but had no power over citizens. The senate just carried out and administrated the wishes of the king. It was not until the establishment of the republic that the Senate would play a major role in Ancient Roman Government.

Taking a quick look at all of the above we can see a great similarity with the Kingdom system and it is also significant that when Jesus began to preach about the Kingdom of God those who listened to him could understand the good news, this being a good reason for the Messiah to come at this time

Analyzing what appears to be a difference, since While some believe that the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are referring to different things, it is clear that both phrases are referring to the same thing.

The phrase “kingdom of God” occurs 68 times in 10 different New Testament books, while “kingdom of heaven” occurs only 32 times, and only in the Gospel of Matthew. Based on Matthew’s exclusive use of the phrase and the Jewish nature of his Gospel, some interpreters have concluded that Matthew was writing concerning the millennial kingdom while the other New Testament authors were referring to the universal kingdom. However, a closer study of the use of the phrase reveals that this interpretation is in error. For example, speaking to the rich young ruler, Christ uses “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God” interchangeably. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven’” (Matthew 19:23). In the very next verse, Christ proclaims, “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (verse 24). Jesus makes no distinction between the two terms but seems to consider them synonymous.

Mark and Luke used “kingdom of God” where Matthew used “kingdom of heaven” frequently in parallel accounts of the same parable.

Compare Matthew 11:11-12 with Luke 7:28; Matthew 13:11with Mark 4:11 and Luke 8:10; Matthew 13:24 with Mark 4:26; Matthew 13:31 with Mark 4:30 and Luke 13:18; Matthew 13:33 with Luke 13:20; Matthew 18:3 with Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16; and Matthew 22:2 with Luke 13:29. In each instance, Matthew used the phrase “kingdom of heaven” while Mark and/or Luke used “kingdom of God.”

Clearly, both phrases refer to the same thing.`

TERRESTRIAL LICENSE FOR CELESTIAL INTERFERENCE

Prayer is man giving God the legal right and permission to interfere in earth’s affairs, or we can tell Prayer is man exercising his legal authority on earth to invoke heaven’s influence on the planet.

God’s will can be executed only through the cooperation of mankind on earth.

Where does this declaration come from?

“ And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over fish of the sea and over birds of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth,” ( Gen.1:26 The Interlinear Bible, Hebrew/English).

Therefore, prayer is not an option for man, but an imperative necessity. Prayer is man exercising his legal authority on earth, requesting the influx of Heaven onto this planet.

————————————————————————————---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since ancient times, humanity has had and continues to have an activity that is perhaps somewhat mysterious or misunderstood, called "prayer," which is the religious expression of each culture or civilization, on every continent around the world, reflecting the need to communicate with a world different from the one that now inhabits.

!…Where did man get that desire or that idea?

Let's remember that when man was created, he lived in a paradise... from which he was expelled.

It's very likely that he desires to return to the life that he once had. Of course, the first step is to try to communicate with the owner of the place.

Any way we will always find a large amount of skeptics and antagonists who believe that all of this is mere superstition or a fanatical religious tradition that has been invented and designed to help with fears and frustrations when not obtaining what is needed or desired.

In this world, almost all inhabitants, in different countries, different places, different languages, different beliefs, but with one thing in common, they all try to find help in the difficult moments of daily life. That help has always been expected to come from a place outside this planet.

Prayer is an important part of the Christian faith. It’s how we communicate with God, share our thoughts, and seek guidance.

It is truly important to remember that God’s will can be executed only through the cooperation of mankind on earth.

! John Wesley once said : God does nothing but in answer to prayer. If we want to see God’s will done on earth, then we must do our part…we must pray !

Wesley was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.

; The Bible is full of verses that teach us about the power and purpose of prayer. These verses remind us that we can talk to God anytime, anywhere, and about anything.

If we read the N.T. we can see that whether we are thankful, worried, or in need, prayer helps us connect with God in a personal way.

It is worth remembering that for three and a half years the disciples went everywhere with Jesus and observed all what He do and noted that He prayed for many hours and sometimes while the disciples were still slipping He went behind a bush or a rock and pray there for hours. The Master spend five hours with God His Father and then He would spend five seconds healing a person, one minute cleansing a leper and two minutes casting out a demon.

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” (NIV).

It is very interesting and we must meditate on the fact that the Apostles must have witnessed a great number of miracles. It is also possible that they wanted answers to tricky questions asked by some people and perhaps misunderstood some actions of the Master, but they asked for what seemed tremendously more important to them... "teach us to pray.”

He said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom came. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.” (NIV)
