FROM THE BEGINNING IT WAS INFORMATION

 

###############################

About 14 or 15 years ago, while having breakfast with my wife on one of our days off, it must have been a Wednesday or Thursday, since we worked from Friday to Tuesday at Dandenong Hospital in Melbourne. It must have been autumn because looking out the window across from our table, we saw a medium-sized peach tree, completely bare of leaves and looking very withered, and damp from a morning drizzle. I wondered aloud, "Has it dried up?”. My wife replied, "wait until spring, and you'll have your answer."

Months passed, and again during one of our usual breakfasts on our days off, my wife and I remembered the almost dead tree we had seen months before. Looking through the window, our eyes lingered in admiration on the peach tree, only this time it looked beautiful, laden with leaves and blossoms.

What happened to our peach tree, and what also happens to humanity, fauna, and flora on this planet, is that the information contained within all bodies, at the precise moment, triggered the beginning of an unstoppable process, culminating in leaves, flowers, and then fruit in the case of our little tree. This also happens in the organisms of all beings until they reach adulthood, repeating itself in some cases during different seasons. In this simple event, we can see that without (divine) information, nothing can function. Of course, good communication between the Sender and the receiver is crucial.

 

GOD IS THE SENDER AND ALL THAT IS MADE IS THE RECEIVER.

To be able to think about and then discuss the world we live in, the place we inhabit, and the surface of the earth we walk on, we should first meditate on where everything around us comes from, everything we know, and therefore, everything we do in our daily lives. The only logical answer resulting from our meditation should be…information.

Information is what allows the world (Universe) to exist. We should consider some questions about information: What is it? How does it appear? What is its function? How is it transmitted? Where does it originate? Where does the information found in living organisms come from? etc. Information confronts us from all sides: newspapers, magazines, TV, etc., providing us with daily knowledge. Processed information systems are found everywhere, in all kinds of computers and even in automobiles. We should also note that the activities of all living organisms are controlled by compressed information programs. Because information is required for all life processes, we can say with complete certainty that…information is crucial in our lives. We try to explain life processes in physical or chemical terms, but we fail.

Information is a fundamental entity…currently, manual labor has been replaced by technological machines that assist humans in their work, even mental tasks. Information is extremely important for information theories, communication techniques, and is also fundamental in sciences such as cybernetics, linguistics, biology, history, and theology. For this reason, scientists believe that information is the third fundamental element, alongside matter and energy.

To understand, speak, or write about the term "information," it is necessary to have a vast amount of knowledge to navigate the immense range of possible avenues for examining all aspects related to information.

 

THE LANGUAGE OF GOD.

As a result of the most awesome scientific discovery of the last century /the 1953 discovery of the double-helix structure of the genetic code (DNA) by Professors James Watson and Francis Crick / we have now a very clear information-filled message that is so staggering in its complexity that it cannot possible have been produced without a supernatural intelligence.

 

 

DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.

 

WHAT IS DNA ?

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosi(C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences.

DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.

An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction.

WHERE IS DNA FOUND ?

In organisms called eukaryotes, DNA is found inside a special area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome.



During DNA replication, DNA unwinds so it can be copied. At other times in the cell cycle, DNA also unwinds so that its instructions can be used to make proteins and for other biological processes. But during cell division, DNA is in its compact chromosome form to enable transfer to new cells.

Researchers refer to DNA found in the cell's nucleus as nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome.



Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell structures known as mitochondria. Mitochondria generate the energy the cell needs to function properly.



In sexual reproduction, organisms inherit half of their nuclear DNA from the male parent and half from the female parent. However, organisms inherit all of their mitochondrial DNA from the female parent. This occurs because only egg cells, and not sperm cells, keep their mitochondria during fertilization.

WHAT IS DNA MADE OF ?

DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar groups alternating.



The four types of nitrogen bases found in nucleotides are: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order, or sequence, of these bases determines what biological instructions are contained in a strand of DNA. For example, the sequence ATCGTT might instruct for blue eyes, while ATCGCT might instruct for brown.



The complete DNA instruction book, or genome, for a human contains about 3 billion bases and about 20,000 genes on 23 pairs of chromosomes.

WHAT DOES DNA DO ?

DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.



Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene. The size of a gene may vary greatly, ranging from about 1,000 bases to 1 million bases in humans. Genes only make up about 1 percent of the DNA sequence. DNA sequences outside this 1 percent are involved in regulating when, how and how much of a protein is made.

HOW ARE DNA SEQUENCES USED TO MAKE PROTEINS ?

DNA's instructions are used to make proteins in a two-step process. First, enzymes read the information in a DNA molecule and transcribe it into an intermediary molecule called messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA.



Next, the information contained in the mRNA molecule is translated into the "language" of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. This language tells the cell's protein-making machinery the precise order in which to link the amino acids to produce a specific protein. This is a major task because there are 20 types of amino acids, which can be placed in many different orders to form a wide variety of proteins.

WHAT IS THE DNA DOUBLE HELIX ?

Scientist use the term "double helix" to describe DNA's winding, two-stranded chemical structure. This shape - which looks much like a twisted ladder - gives DNA the power to pass along biological instructions with great precision.



To understand DNA's double helix from a chemical standpoint, picture the sides of the ladder as strands of alternating sugar and phosphate groups - strands that run in opposite directions. Each "rung" of the ladder is made up of two nitrogen bases, paired together by hydrogen bonds.

Because of the highly specific nature of this type of chemical pairing, base A always pairs with base T, and likewise C with G. So, if you know the sequence of the bases on one strand of a DNA double helix, it is a simple matter to figure out the sequence of bases on the other strand.


DNA's unique structure enables the molecule to copy itself during cell division. When a cell prepares to divide, the DNA helix splits down the middle and becomes two single strands. These single strands serve as templates for building two new, double-stranded DNA molecules - each a replica of the original DNA molecule. In this process, an A base is added wherever there is a T, a C where there is a G, and so on until all of the bases once again have partners.

In addition, when proteins are being made, the double helix unwinds to allow a single strand of DNA to serve as a template. This template strand is then transcribed into mRNA, which is a molecule that conveys vital instructions to the cell's protein-making machinery.

WHO DISCOVERED DNA ?

The Swiss biochemist Frederich Miescher first observed DNA in the late 1800s. But nearly a century passed from that discovery until researchers unraveled the structure of the DNA molecule and realized its central importance to biology.



For many years, scientists debated which molecule carried life's biological instructions. Most thought that DNA was too simple a molecule to play such a critical role. Instead, they argued that proteins were more likely to carry out this vital function because of their greater complexity and wider variety of forms.



The importance of DNA became clear in 1953 thanks to the work of James Watson*, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. By studying X-ray diffraction patterns and building models, the scientists figured out the double helix structure of DNA - a structure that enables it to carry biological information from one generation to the next. / Britannica /

 

HUMAN GENOME PROYECT (HGP)

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying, mapping and sequencing all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. It started in 1990 and was completed in 2003. It was the world's largest collaborative biological project. Planning for the project began in 1984 by the US government, and it officially launched in 1990. It was declared complete on 14 April 2003, and included about 92% of the genome.

Level "complete genome" was achieved in May 2021, with only 0.3% of the bases covered by potential issues.The full gapless sequence containing 22 autosomes and the X chromosome was published in January 2022, making it the first fully sequenced human genome.

The full sequence of the Y chromosome was only published in August 2023 due to challenges with sequencing and assembling, caused by its highly repetitive nature.

Former NIH Director Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. led the Human Genome Project through most of its 13-year progression and continues to push the limits of genetics today. He served as director of the National Institutes of Health under three U.S. presidents and publicly navigated the chaos of COVID-19.

But perhaps most strikingly, he’s a devout Christian whose faith has only deepened through decades of scientific discovery.In his new book, “The Road to Wisdom”, Collins unpacks the messy, beautiful intersection of faith and science. In an interview He reflected on how exploring the intricacies of the natural world has strengthened his belief in God rather than undermining it. “For me, science isn’t a threat to faith,” he says. “It’s a pathway to worship.”Collins wasn’t always a believer. He grew up in an agnostic household and only began wrestling with faith in his late 20s while working as a medical student. “I was confronted with life and death every day,” he recalls. “I started asking questions science couldn’t answer. Why is there suffering? Is there a God? Why am I here?”

His search for meaning led him to read C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity, which helped him see faith and reason as partners rather than enemies. “It opened my eyes to the idea that belief in God wasn’t just wishful thinking but a rational response to the evidence of morality and creation,” he says. Far from diminishing his faith, Collins’ work in genetics and medical research has only amplified it.

“When you discover something about creation that wasn’t known before, it’s a little glimpse of God’s mind,” he says. “It makes the moment even more thrilling.” One of those moments came during the Human Genome Project. Mapping the entire human DNA sequence felt to Collins like reading “the language of God.” The elegance and complexity of the genetic code, he explains, points not to randomness but to intentionality. “It’s like uncovering a blueprint that was written long before we existed,” he says. “How can you not be in awe?” Collins sees no contradiction in being both a scientist and a person of faith.

In fact, he believes that studying the natural world is one of the most powerful ways to encounter the divine. “Science is about uncovering the truth,” he says. “And if God is real, then seeking truth will only bring you closer to Him.” “When you discover something about creation that wasn’t known before, it’s a little glimpse of God’s mind,” he says.

APRIL 25 / DNA DAY

Codes are big in today’s world: QR codes, barcodes, computer codes, cell phone codes, and more. Specific information is needed to identify, diagnose, and inform. DNA is the code for life: microbes, plants, parasites, animals, and man. DNA Day is April 25 because it was this day in history (April 25, 1953) when James Watson and Francis Crick described DNA as the double helix and the code for life. Although we consider DNA the genetic blueprint for life, it has only been known for 80 years.

On February 1, 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty wrote a revolutionary paper about DNA as the transforming principle in Streptococcus pneumoniae, changing from harmless to pathogenic. Their fundamental discovery that DNA is the genetic material would eventually lead Watson and Crick to publish their landmark paper on the structure of DNA. This transformational discovery would eventually lead to biotechnology, an awesome skill. Credit should go to operational science discoveries by man, but greater glory to God who created DNA.

Watson and Crick acknowledged that without Avery’s lab and the Rosalind Franklin lab, they would not (80 years ago) have studied DNA (Watson 1968, 2012). Today, we use DNA to diagnose disease, discern ancestry, understand the genesis of germs, and use in biotechnology products. DNA codes are very informative. They also provide evidence of God’s wisdom and craft. DNA is, in a way, the signature of God. It is simple in code (just four letters), complex in expression (genome), beautiful in embroidery form (histones), and majestic in expression (epigenetics). The information is used in microbes and man alike, so we can also better understand the genesis of germs. Mutations since the curse (Genesis 3) cause a loss of the original code and information, and DNA helps us understand the origin of many pathogens and parasites, but we can also use DNA which uses PCR codes to identify pathogens and parasites for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. {Dr. Alan L. Gillen, April 25, 2024-Answers in Depth} <

 

DNA, RECORD OF HUMAN INFORMATION

Dr. Yeshayahu Rubinstein, an Israeli scientist, made an intriguing discovery about DNA. He found that the sulfur bonds between the base pairs of genetic material follow a repeating pattern: 10, 5, 6, 5, which correspond to the numeric value of the Hebrew letters Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey, the name of the Creator. From this, he asserts that God has placed His signature within our DNA.

Indeed, the relationship between all aspects of our DNA manifests within a matrix that we can call “The Name of the Creator.” Dr. Rubinstein has uncovered a fundamental structure embedded in nature, which aligns with the pattern of Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. But this relationship extends beyond DNA—it exists in everything. Sometimes we can perceive, study, and document it, and other times we cannot, but it is always present because it is a fundamental property of nature.

DNA is the record of human information that is located in our cells. Everything we are is built from protein structures, which in Kabbalah correspond to what we call “the three lines.” They form a double helix, connected by bridges, just as in Kabbalistic concepts of balance and interconnection.

This understanding has existed in the wisdom of Kabbalah for 5,000 to 6,000 years, if not more. But the question is, who knew about it before, and in what way?

How can we, in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual development, not break this spiral but instead strengthen it? The key is connection with the Creator, i.e., with the force of love, bestowal, and connection that created everything. By doing so, we restore broken connections within us. We need to reach a level where we can receive from the Creator that original force that corrects our DNA, restoring the balance in nature. In Kabbalah this is called the attainment of “the middle line.

Understanding that the Creator’s code is written in our very structure is indeed helpful. Everything in us consists of these codes: our cells, organs, and entire being. The Creator’s imprint is within us, forming the record of how we were created by an upper force, a higher program.

However, when we fail to resemble the Creator in a certain way, the bridge within DNA breaks. This disconnection causes problems, illnesses, and even death.

What is the Creator’s function within human DNA? The Creator’s role is to ensure balance. DNA’s two parallel protein systems connected by bridges are like the rungs of a ladder. While this is a simplified description, the underlying principle remains that all elements of nature must enter into a harmonious balance, piecing together into an absolutely altruistic interaction. When we achieve such balance, the correct signal is transmitted between the two strands, ensuring optimal functioning and life.

How, then, can we resemble the Creator? The answer is that we must want to resemble the Creator. Our desire reshapes our internal structure. When we actively choose to improve ourselves, i.e., to develop an attitude of love, bestowal, and positive connection with others similar to how the Creator relates to us, our DNA adapts, our spiral winds in such a direction, and we then interact harmoniously with others.

THE CREATOR’S BLUEPRINT OF LIFE

The Sheer number of Professors and Doctors who have studied and written about DNA makes it difficult to consider them all…

Dr. Michael Behe, Christian Biochemist, tell us that “ An irreducibly complex system cannot be built step by step; it must be fully formed or it doesn’t work.”

- We can mention The bacterial flagellum, a microscopic rotary engine with 40 protein parts , self-assembling like a nano tech motor.

- Also, the blood clotting cascade, a complex chain reaction that stop bleeding. Removing one protein means death.

- And the ATP synthase, the enzyme that powers your cells. It spins like a turbine, converting food into energy. Each of the points above demolishes the idea of ​​a blind mutation and screams “DESIGN” to us.

Dr. Francis Collins, called DNA “the language of God,” because “Science reveals that the universe is exquisitely tuned for life. DNA is like a script — a coded message that reflects a Mind.” Every strand of DNA is packed whit data, commands, logic gates, and error correction, pointing directly to intelligent and purposeful authorship.

Dr. Hugh Ross, Christian Astrophysicist, has catered over 150 life permitting factors that must all be in place simultaneously We have to agree that this is full of “ intention” and has nothing to do with chance or luck. “ How many are your works, O' JHVH. .All of them in wisdom have You made…” ( Psalm 104:24 Interlinear Bible Hebrew / English )

Finally, DNA is a crafted chemical composed of a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate, and four nitrogen-containing, information bases. The two sides of the ladder are made up of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules, and the steps of the ladder are the nitrogenous bases (often simply called bases.} These elegant but simple codes are based on the Creator’s blueprint of life and contain vast amounts of information.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

 

 

 

THE LOST KINGDOM

 

 

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

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).

PREAMBLE

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.

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 isiah 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? Well 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 that 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.

 

THE IMMENSE IMPORTANCE OF THE KINGDOM

Beginning our analytical study of the "Kingdom", we must know that the word gospel literally means “good news” and occurs 93 times in the Bible, exclusively in the New Testament. In Greek, it is the word euaggelion, from which we get our English words evangelist, evangel, and evangelical. The gospel is, broadly speaking, the whole of Scripture; more narrowly, the gospel -Merriam-Webster tells us the following about the word “gospel”: Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gospel.- Etymology: Middle English, from Old English gōdspel (translation of Late Latin evangelium), from gōd good + spell tale.

Sometimes it seems that there is more than one gospel, due to the different interpretations of the original scripturel .

Not everyone understands, and therefore doesn't give the study of the Kingdom of God the true importance it deserves. First of all, we must understand that before anything else, God is. The word "God" is not a name but rather a description of a character, for He, and He alone, is qualified to be God. He needs nothing and no one to exist. Existing "before all things," He began by bringing into existence the invisible world, also called "above." Creation initiated the concept of ruler and rulership, and the Creator began to govern over His newly created invisible realm. (Heaven) or domain.

The invisible Kingdom of God, or first Kingdom, introduced the concept of "Kingdom," which is essential and necessary to understand the purpose (intent) and objective of the relationship between God and man.

I have always wondered about the reason for our existence... why am I here? What is man?... why was he created?... why was he placed on planet Earth? And many more questions concerning the same topic.

It is impossible for me to believe that we are the product of a cosmic big bang, or that we emerged from some special cosmic soup, or that we are sophisticated primates in a mad evolutionary race, or that we are ultimately a seedbed set in motion by aliens…although here we would have to consider where these aliens came from.

All these unreasonable possibilities or theories, without any supporting evidence, only minimize and dilute the glorious purpose of the creation of man. Man is not the unintentional product of a kind of mindless creator. Man was created by God to be co-regent with Him on a planet called Earth, in whose creation we find the beginning of everything. What could have been God's motivation after creating the Kingdom of Heaven to also create a kingdom on earth?

When I acquired my first car many years ago, my immediate desire was to go pick up my little family and go for a drive with them; it wouldn't have made sense for me to "test" my car by myself. introduced the concept of "Kingdom," which is essential and necessary to understand the purpose (intent) and objective of the relationship between God and man. I have always wondered about the reason for our existence... why am I here? What is man?... why was he created?... why was he placed on planet Earth? And many more questions concerning the same topic.

I believe that God's motivation could have been the manifestation of the nature of love. "God is love," the Scriptures tell us that in “ 1 John 4:8, 16”. He who loves wants to share what he has with the one he loves; therefore, God's motivation would have been to create spiritual children to share His Kingdom Rulership with them, and that is why Jesus said that the Kingdom belonged to man from before the Earth was created. "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’” (Matthew 25:34). “In the beginning God created the heavens (Spiritual Realm) and the earth (Physical Universe).” First, the Spiritual Realm (Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven) was ruled by God as “King,” where He was worshipped and served by His angels. Second came the creation of the physical world, and we see this activity at the beginning of the book of Genesis. To rule the physical world, the Supreme Creator, with His creative genius, planned to make or create children in His image and likeness to represent Him as rulers in the visible and physical world.

This did not happen accidentally but was the product of careful preparation where God placed His wisdom and love. At the moment of the creation of the physical kingdom, the spirit of “dominion” was created, necessary to rule and control all the Earth and everything in it.

The book of Genesis in 1:26-27 TLV, tells us about the act of creation: Then God said, “Let UsP make man in Our image, after Our likeness!

Let them rule (have dominion) over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the sky, over the livestock, over the whole earth and over every crawling creature that crawls on the land.” God created humankind in His image, in the image of God he created him; male and female He created them introduced the concept of "Kingdom," which is essential and necessary to understand the purpose (intent) and objective of the relationship between God and man.

All these unreasonable possibilities or theories, without any supporting evidence, only minimize and dilute the glorious purpose of the creation of man. Man is not the unintentional product of a kind of mindless creator. Man was created by God to be co-regent with Him on a planet called Earth, in whose creation we find the beginning of everything.

“In the beginning God created the heavens (Spiritual Realm) and the earth (Physical Universe).” First, the Spiritual Realm (Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven) was ruled by God as “King,” where He was worshipped and served by His angels.

Second came the creation of the physical world, and we see this activity at the beginning of the book of Genesis. To rule the physical world, the Supreme Creator, with His creative genius, planned to make or create children in His image and likeness to represent Him as rulers in the visible and physical world. This did not happen accidentally but was the product of careful preparation where God placed His wisdom and love. At the moment of the creation of the physical kingdom, the spirit of “dominion” was created, necessary to rule and control all the Earth and everything in it.

The book of Genesis in 1:26-27 TLV, tells us about the act of creation: Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness! Let them rule (have dominion) over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the sky, over the livestock, over the whole earth and over every crawling creature that crawls on the land.” God created humankind in His image, in the image of God he created him; male and female He created them

PRAYER

 

 

Philippians 4: 6 NIV

 

 

TERRESTIAL 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 influence of Heaven onto our planet.

For some years now, my wife and I have been watching programs about the countryside and customs of the inhabitants of places like Azerbaijan, China, and Vietnam. We were amazed to see how, in the last country, among all the native animals, the one that provided the best service to the locals was the buffalo. The strength of the Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) makes it an important draft animal, sometimes called the "living tractor of the East." Wild water buffalo can weigh up to 1,200 kg (2,600 pounds), measure nearly 3 meters (10 feet) They are are native to South Asia but have spread throughout Southeast and East Asia, and they are often domesticated for agriculture.

Water buffalo prefer land environments like swamps, marshes, and river basins. [*] Buffalo are herbivores, meaning their diet consists entirely of plants. They are grazers, primarily feeding on grasses, but they will also browse on leaves, shrubs, and other vegetation when available. They also consume a wide range of vegetation, including aquatic plants, and they play a crucial role in maintaining wetland ecosystems by controlling plant growth and dispersing seeds.

The buffalo of Asia include the water buffalo, the anoa, and the tamarau. People raise water buffalo as farm animals in Asia and other parts of the world. They use these animals to pull farm equipment and to carry heavy things on their backs. [*] from Animals Network.

 

 

 

Often, weary from the tribulations of daily life, we feel the burden is too heavy, and it is refreshing to see and feel how the word of God comes to meet us with a vigorous impulse… The Psalmist David tells us in Psalm 92, his song for the Sabbath day, celebrating God’s goodness and faithfulness… “But You will lift up like the wild ox; I will be anointed with fresh oil…” (Interlinear Hebrew/English Bible; verse 12).

The debilitating weariness that comes from the daily struggle, sometimes in the physical and also spiritual war against the enemy, is defeated by the phrase in the verse that symbolizes strength and power. The wild ox (Buffalo), known for its might and resilience, represents an unyielding and vigorous spirit. This imagery conveys the idea of being uplifted and empowered by God’s divine strength. Additionally, the mention of… “I will be anointed with oil fresh” signifies blessing, consecration, and the presence of the Holy Spirit, highlighting divine favor and anointing for a special purpose.

Let us draw knowledge from the word of God for our lives., “Just as the buffalo, when it needs extra strength to pull, gets it by digging its front hooves into the ground [*], Water buffaloes are indeed known for their unique behavior in muddy or wet fields, where they may kneel to improve traction and stability while working. This adaptation helps them effectively pull plows or carts through challenging terrain, showcasing their strength and versatility as draft animals.

[*]…Therefore, when the wind and the storm rage against us, let us go to our knees so too let us get extra strength likes the buffalo.

“ Your purposes are very deep. A senseless man does not know, nor does a fool understand this”, few verses resonate as powerfully like this one, which offers profound insight into the nature of spiritual vitality and renewal. This verse serves as a reminder of the transformative power of God’s grace and the rejuvenating strength that comes from a deep relationship with Him. It invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journey and the vitality that God provides, even in times of adversity.

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)

PRAYING EFFECTIVELY

 

Prayer is an essential part of the life of a believer, we should have a precise rule to pray both morning and evening, must stick to a schedule for praying and form a discipline that is beyond what we will feel like doing. This is not a leisure practice but a path to be in fellowship with God.

Much of learning how to pray comes through practice—the more a person prays, the more he or she will learn how to do so effectively.

It would be very interesting if we could replace a habit we already have with one we don't have. Taking into consideration that our God is not a thing, and just trying to find a better understanding and with the due respect, we could treat God like we treat our mobile phones,
as young people do, that is how we should treat Him: we’re constantly glued to our mobile phones. We take them everywhere, check them obsessively, and recharge them frequently, we even sleep with the phones in our hands sometimes. But have you ever thought about how this behavior can transform our relationship with God? There would always be that constant connection. Just as we keep our phones close, we should strive to stay connected to God throughout the day. Here are some ways to do so simultaneously: As we charge the phone in the morning, we can also charge ourselves with prayer, scripture reading or devotionals.
As we check regularly for messages we we can also reflect on our actions and thoughts.[ 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – Pray without ceasing.]

Keeping regular check means constant connection through prayer.
As the phones stay plugged in let us also be in tune with the Spirit . Wait on God. Isaiah 40:31 says “but those who wait on God shall renew their strength…”
As we prioritize our phone’s battery life, let’s prioritize our spiritual life.
When you update your operating system, update your mind (renew) with a scripture or sermon or get something to inspire you.


As you schedule your downtime, try to schedule prayer time.
As you delete unwanted messages, reject thoughts that would derail you from your faith or things that make you weak spiritually. Focus on eternal things; avoid distractions.
In your ‘Low Battery Moments’, you can call on God, recharge with prayer, and He will answer and energize you. Psalm 50:15 says “call unto me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you shall glorify me”.When connecting to ‘Wi-Fi’, connect with fellow believers to help you grow. If you have to restart your phone, restart with forgiveness, asking God’s forgiveness and mercy.
As we customize our ‘Home Screen, let us customize God; let us make Him the centerpiece in our lives. Store God’s word internally. Psalm 119:11 says “your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you” May God help us to dedicate the same attention to our spiritual life the way we do our phones.

May He Give us the strength to stay connected, focused, and renewed.

(Idea From a Otiwaa script. Mar 19, 2025 Inspiration )

 

PRAYER MUST BE INFUSED WITH FAITH

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

Back in 1974… my small family and I lived in South America, and every Sunday, except for my mother who stayed home due to illness, we attended a Christian service at a church belonging to the First Methodist Pentecostal Church, located in the city of San Francisco de Limache, in the Fifth Region. At that time, the long, narrow country where we lived was under martial law. In other words, it meant that at 10:00 p.m. all movement on the streets, both vehicles and people, had to cease to prevent clashes between extremist armed groups and government military forces. One winter afternoon, due to bad weather, I went to the church alone because we traveled by bus, as we didn't have a car, and the children were very young and we didn't want them to get sick. On that occasion, the service ended around 8:30 p.m.
