Evolution Rant

When evolutionists talk about human institutions and culture as if evolution explains it. I mostly just get bored and annoyed. I despised Sociobiology and the claim that altruism had a physical evolutionary explanation. Blesh. Balderdash. And that was before I was a Christian. Even in those days I had problems with evolution. Some of it was about physicalistic explanations in general. Anyhthing that explained mental states in phyhsicalistic terms was abhorrent to me. I had conniption fits over Behaviorism and Behaviot Therapy which was all about "conditionint" and treated the mind as an "epiphenomen" a conceon that never acquired any meaning for me, and evolutionary theory also relegates mind to a position subordinate to physical reality.. Blesh.

I also made some effort back then to explore evolutionary tgheorybecause I diddn't like it. When I did it always seemed to keep dissolving into nonsense. I couldn't get hold of anything like an evidentiary trail for any of it.

Through all that I didn't conclude that the theory was false. I had read Darwin's Origin of Species and was impressed with his careful way of thinking things through. But you know what? Very little of it is scientific in the empirical sense. In that dichotomy between rationalism and empiricism it's rationalism. And really, so is everything they do with evolutionary thinkinjg in any context now too. it's mostly mental construction, not empirical science. I don't even know what they're talking about when they use terms like "selection" or "adaptation" these days. They apparently are saying "Such and such a behavior is there in most of the population, therefore it is the product of selection and of course it was selected because it's adaptive." that's about the extent of the evidence.

It wasn't until I read some of the creationists that I finally saw that you could go after evolutionary theory from a scientific standpoint. Then it became fun to think things through for myself. All I care about is the claim that species evolved from species. When discussion gets all wrapped up in how a particular trait emerged and functions I'm not really interested. The problem is that an evolutionary history is assumed for that trait and it's spoken of as a reality though it's nothing but a thought system.

Rationalistic ystems are a plague. Marxist is a vicious evil plague and it's all rationalistm, there isn't one anchor point in reality in Marxism. Or in the theory of evolution either.

I suppose I'll have to eat some of my words here since all I'm doing is venting and ranting. Oh well. I

Ya Know, Somebody Really Ought to Recognize That I've Demolished the Theory of Evolution, In More Ways than One. Others probably have too but I Know I have

It’s been a long time since I did any serious thinking about my evolution arguments, but I recently found myself mentally reviewing the geology argument and thinking how frustrating it is that such an obvious objection to the Old Earth goes unrecognized. Which of course I attribute to Paradigm ossification.

. It started with the hoodoos, those huge humaoid figures carved bu weather erosion out of layers of sedimentary rock. No idea how I got to thinking about the hoodoos but that’s where it started. Pondering how brief a time it takes for them to be carved out of the sediemtnary rocks by erosion, and then eventually destroyed by the same erosion. A matter of hundreds of years or so, or at most, say, about four thousand, which is the time since the Flood of Noah. The original sediments were supposedly laid down a few million years ago, in the Holocene or Recent time period, plenty of time for the whole collection of hoodoos to have dissolved into dust It's a rather arbitrary designatio anyway because originally there is reason to think there were many other layers above their layer that are gone, which I've hypothesized were washed away in the draining of the Flood waters.But if the time periods are determined by the sedimentary rocks, and absurdly they are, then the hoodoos don't belong to the most recent anyway, and since the time periods typically last for millions of years the whole timing thing is problematic anyway.


Many of the formations of the American Southwest undergo this sequence: eroded to their interesting shapes and then eventually too fragile to stand any more erosion they collapse. The eroded material at the base of, say, the large buttes of Monument Valley, tells a story of erosion that will eventually reduce the buttes to dust, but it isn’t going to take any millions of years. The prevailing theory allotsmillions of years to each layer of the Geological Column, which are the source of these carved shapes, but if they’d been there for those millions of years they’d long since have been reduced to dust. Long long since.

In other words, tgiven the millions of years allotted to the time periods, none of these formations should still be standing, they should all have long since gone to dust.



That’s a strike against the Old Earth theory already. But then you have to consider that these formations occur at the very upperlevels of the Geological Column, on stop of a stack of sedimentary layers that is at least two miles deep. These formations have been eposed to weather since the sediments out of which they are carved were laid down, and wouldn’t you expect if the Old Earth theory were correct that this same pattern would have occurred in each of the layers beneath it since they too supposedly endrued for millions of years at the surface of the earth, exposed to the same weathering processes. But oddly enough there is no evidence of any such processes in any of the buried layers. Where the layering is visible, such as in the Grand Canyon, they remain intact layers with no signs at all of any surface disturbance. Many of them show sharp straight upper and lower contacts with the rocks above and below, knife-edge sharp contacts. Above and below each layer are completely different rock layers of a completely different sedimentary composition, say shale above which is sandstone, above which is limestone. In quite neat undisturbed layers. Well, relatively undisturbed since they’ve been there for some time. But they have no surface features even remotely like the erosion of the hoodoos, or even the usual erosion one would see in a grassy field on the surface of the arth today.

So what we see in the walls of the Grand Canyon is a nice neat stack of layers of different kinds of sedimentary rpclss, , obviously never having been exposed at the surface of the earth although that is what the prevailing theory would hve us expect. Are these layers really millions of years old? Is the whole stack really hundreds of millions of years old? If that wre true wouldn’t we see dramatic erosive processes at their upper surfaces? And in fact wouldn’t we see some evidence of differences between them having to do with their different ages ? But they all seem to be about equally preserved. Surely just these observations cast serious doubt on the Old Earth theory. I thiknk they absolutely destroy it myself but I realize it’s unlikely to convince the true believers even though it’s clear enough even to them. They’ll just “know” based on theirn fai \th in the theory that it must be wrong nevertheless. And haven’t they been using that theory for years and years and hasn’t it held together? Yes, remarkably consistent systems can be built out of illusions as long as you don’t stray too far outside the illusion.

The argument here is simple enough. Observation shows that the layers of sediments that make up the Geological Column show no signs of the kinds of disturbances we see on the surface of the earth until the whole stack was laid down and that is strong evidence that they were not laid down over the supposed hundreds of millions of years but over some much shorter period of time. (Perhaps a close study of the rate of erosion of the Monuments or the Hoodoos, or the walls of the Grand Canyon for that matter, might suggest a more accurate time frame for the duration of the Geologial Column).

So physically the strata, the layers of sedimentary rocks that make up the Geologial Column, don't show signs of the great age the theory attributes to them. But these layers are the foundation of the Geological Time Scale as well, that system of time periods covering those millions of years in which a particular landscape populated by particular living things is supposed to have existed. This is determined by the fossil contents of each particular layer of sediment, the hardened remains of living creatures. br>l
It’s puzzled me for some time that the idea of geological history could have been divided into layers of sedimentary rocks at all, let alone that each layer should have come to be identified with a very particular period of time in which the earth is supposed to have had particularly characteristics that set it apart from other periods of time also identified by a sediemtnary layer. These are huge flat slabs of sedimentary rock stacked one on top of another to a depth of miles, many of the layers covering thousands of square miles horizontally, almost a whole continent . It boggles the mind to explain how such a formation could have come to exist as the representative of the surface of the earth at all. I’ve seen attempts to make sense of it but on the face of it no sense can be made of it.

I’ve also seen it denied that there is any real correspondence between the rocks and the time periods allotted to them. But this is clearly a futile effort. There is no doubt that the idea of the time periods was based on the rocks and particularly on their fossil contents which are very specific to a particular layer of rock. There is a sedimentary layer called “cretaceous” which is word descriptive of the sedimentary content of the rock, and a time period associated with it called the Cretaceous Period in which dinosaurs supposedly lived. That is because huge numbers of dinosaur fossils are found in this sedimentary rock. I’d forgotten what the word “xcretaceous” means and looked it up only to find it used as the name of the time period without any definition of the word itself. Strikes me as an attempt to disassociate the rock from the time period, probably because the association is so obviously absurd. How can there be a time period defined by a kind of sedimentary rock? But of course that was the original basis for the name of the time period. That is also how the Carboniferous Period was named of course.

The people who made these associations were clearly not hinking about the physical impossibilities involved. They saw this beautifully neat stack of rocks with their beautifully particular sedimentary contents and their beautifully particular fossil contents and it was apparently just too much to ask of them to avoid the interpretation that the history of the planet was expressed in these phenomena. The apparent order of the fossils themselves was too wonderfully suited ot the theory of evolution to be doubted. How else explain the seeming progression up through the layers of rock from small sea creatures and insects to larger sea cretures then amphibians then reptiles up to modern mammals. Just too wonderfully neat to be denied.

Well, the history of science is littered with odd irrational thinking after all. The idea, for instance, that the fossils were particular creations of God or “sports” was one such bit of silliness. Empirical science is apparently not the most natural of cognitive functions, but very hard won. Although of course I reject Darwin’s theory, in its time it was a model of rational thinking against some of the previous ways of constructing the world of living things. For instance the different varieties of creatures were thought to be independent creations of God. Darwin recognized that the Galapogos island urtle that differed fromn the manland turtles was nevertheless related to them, which he took to mean “evolved” from them. He was right about the relationship but not about the mechanisms involved in the relationship. The different finches are all related to each too rather than being separate creations but they didn’t evolve in the sense Darwin’s theory posits, they are varieties that are bujilt into the finch genome. Just as the Galapagos and mainland turtles are varieties of the turtle genome. If Mendel’s experiments had had the influence they deserved, we might have been spared the ToE, but the ToE had some powerful defenders. That’s often how it goes in science as well as in politics. ( We are certainly suffering these days from the same kind of craziness. I just heard that although science, in response to pressure to take different racial characteristics into account, had determined that blacks have better kidney function than whites by about 20&, which could certainly be an important contgribution to medical practice. But in our current “Woke” infatuation the m edical profession has been told to ignore the science and treat the races equally, so that now blacks are subjected to treatments for kidney diseases they don’t need in the service of a political idea that is absurdly made authoritative over the science.)

I have to point out here before I forget that the irrational ideas about separate creations in Darwin’s day would not have existed if people wree following the Bible, which clearly says that God stopped creating, “rested from His work” so that nobody should have been expecting further separate creations. Since “religion” is likely to be blamed for such irrational idea I swant to point out wherever I can that Biblcial revelation is not irrational. People misread it, they invent their own God and suppose it’s the same God revealed in the Bible, but their God could plant fossils of living things in the earth just to entertain himself at our expense, put fossil sea life at the top of mountains for instance just because he was “sporting” with us. That is certainly not the God of the Bible.

Back to what the strata show us. There is a large detailed cross section of the Grand Staircase geological formation in Utal that spans all the way to the Grand Canyon, shoing all the layers that lie so neat and parallel beneath the surface. Into those layers the Grand Canyon was cut. Clearly after all the layers were in place. All the layers above the rim of the canyon were eroded away, but they remain in the Grand Stairacse to the north which climbs another mile above the level of the grand Canyon rim. The Grand Canyon is about a mile deep and its rum is at the surface of the Kaibab limestone on the north side. On the south side the limestone has been eroded away leaving the layer beneath, the Coconino sandstone which forms the plateau for some distance on that side. On the north the Kaibab limestone plateau extends to the Grand Staircase, which climbs from them up through the layers of the Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Renent or Holocene. The Staircase itself is made up of cliffs left as layers beneath them were eroded away.

The most reasonable interpretation of all this is that the entire area was originally covered by sedimentary layers at least three miles deep, at least from the bottommost level of the Grand Canyon to the uppermost level of the Grand Staircase, but most likely originally above that to some unknown depth. It’s all been eroded away above the Permian/Kaibab level at the Granc Canyon, and at each level of the Staircase to its own particular length. The entire area encompasses thousands of square miles, the distance from the Grand Staircase to the Grand Canyon being some two hundred or three hundred miles from north to south.

The point, again, is that the layers wree clearly undisturbed until such erosion occurred at the surface where they were exposed. This, again, shows the absurdity of the idea of time periods in which onje would naturally assume there must have been the same kind of surface exposure. Clearly there waan’t. the canyon cuts through it after all were in place. There is no canyon buried in the layers anwhere. The cliffs were cut out of the surface. The layers remain instact beneath. There is a volcanic erotion that shows on the far left of the cross section, magma rising from the very bottommost level beneath the “Cambrian” rocks, to the very uppermost level of the Grand Staircase where it spilllled out. Tha happened after all the layers were in place, not during their laying down. Beneath the Grand Canyon there is a formation called the Great Unconformity, which is a large block of strata that has been broken in to and tilted beneath the layers above it into which the canyon was cut. This is interpretaed by current geological theory as having occurred before the layers were laid down, but it seems to me that it is all part of the same upheaval that scoured off the Kaibab plateau and cut the stairs of the Grand Staircase and in fact cut the Grand Canyon itself. My evidence for this is that the layers curve up over the Great Unconformtity which they wouldn’t have if they were laid down afterward. Th whoe stack of layers is curved up over that basement formation of tilted strata.

And that observation leads to the idea that the forces that tilted the broken stratata raised the whole stack that was already in place above it, created a tension in the upper layers that broke them into pieces above the Kaibab limestone, one crack or set of cracks created the canyon. The same upheaval would have caused the erosion of the stairs to the north as well. And the upheaval was probably first of all a tectonic jolt but that jolt also caused the volcanism we see in the diagram.

But I didn’t really want to get into all that which is my hypothesis about how it all came about in the Flood of Noah. I just wanted to point out here that the layers that are interpreted as time periods in the Geological Time Scale which is based on the Geoloigcal Column of sedimentary rocks show no signs whatever of ever having been on the surface of the earth. What IS on the survace of the earth is eroded and broken, and any such time period should have shown those same features but none do.

The layers can be distorted in many ways, however, but pretty consistently in one huge block. In the area of the cross section they are all slightly raised as a block and they curve over the Great Unconformtiy as a block. Wherever the strata are found they are distorted as a block rather than individual layers. They may be broken twisted, folded in many different ways. As a block. Their remaining as a block is further evidence that they are not time periods, they were not separately laid down over millions of years, they had to have been laid down within a short period of time one after the ofther, and then only after they were all laid down were they subjected to the distrubances such as tectonic pressures and volcanic eruptions. These did not happen until they were all in place.

And here are sone pictures of how the layers are commonly disturbed and distorted in a whole block:.

It’s not that nobody’s noticed of course. The evidence is all out there. But the strange thing is that the reasonable inference has not been drawn from the evidence. The earth is not billions of years old. The strata do not represent hundreds of millions of years. Therefore the fossils have nothing to do with evolution. The Theory of Evolution is nothing but an irrational mental construct imposed on the physical world that has no actual correspondence to its physical realities.

And I wouldn’t mind getting some credit for pointing it out. Thank you. GOOGLE IMAGE: FOLDED GEOLOGICAL STRATA

Saving a Nation May be IMpossible By Now, But You can Still be Personally Saved

The Marxists aren't going to get it. In fact most Americans won't get it. In fact even most Christians won't get it. I'm talking about the importance of repentance for our national sins, which I wrote about in the previous post. It has to be explained. We've lost sigh t of the fact that God rules in this world no matter what we believe or think about it. Unbelievers violate His law all the time and don't understand why things often don't work out well for them. Oh God takes care of the just and the unsust alike, but the Moral operates inexorably in this world for good or ill according to our obedience or disobedience of the Moral Law. "God's windmills grind exceeding fine" it says somewhere in scripture. "If you sow to the wind you will reap the whirlwind" it says somewhere else. As I've pointed out many times, the Hindu and Buddhist idea of Karma is a distorted recognition about the Moral Law that rules the Universe. I know from experience that if you deny it, or decide to test it, as I did as an unbeliver, it will smack you down and you won't know what hit you. I only knew what hit me when I became a believer.Not everybody is as defiant as I was, even unbelievers live within the moral law to a greater extent than makes sense given their beliefs. But we all suffer in this life, and that is the consequence of sin against the moral law, whether our own sin or the sin of ancestors which the bible tells us we inherit. "The waes of sin is death" says scripture, and death means every kind of disease, destruction, inuury, disaster, all imaginable suffering. We live in a fallen world. That means we live after the Fall and suffer its consequences. We are born into those consequences but our own personal sins accumulate on top of them.

That's why Jesus died. That's what the Good News of salvation is all about. He died to save us from the Moral Law that can only kill us because we are fallen and continue to accumulate sins against it. Soon after the RFall God promised the human race that He would send us a savior from our sins. He did. He took our sins into His own body and paid the debt to the Moral Law we woujld otherwise owe for them. Since He was sinless He could not die for HImself, He died to pay for OUR sins since He had none.

Nations incur debt to the Moral Law too, as covenanted entitiues. This is made clear in the passages in Leviticus and Deuterono my that spell out the blessings and cursings the nation of Israel could expect for obedience of the Law on the one hand or disobedience on the other. The consequences include economic disaster, famine, invasion by foreigners, rule by incompetent and corrupt leaders,, natural disasters. Think about it.

Destruction comes as a consequence of violations of the Moral Law. It comes whether we recognize the operation of such a law or not. "Why do bad things happen to good people" asks the naive and ignornant. Scripture tells us that NOBODY is good. Start there. Scripture also tells us that we inherit sinjs. We inherit it from our first parents for starters, the first sinners, but we also inherit it from our nearer ancestors. And no matter how good a person may be even the best commit sins against the Moral Law all the time. Because the Law is perfect and we are fallen.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." I've brought this up before. I think the ocntext of this statement is often overlooked. This is Hosea 4, 1 through 8. God starts out saying through Hosea that the people commit all sorts of sins, swearing falsely, lying, stealing, killing, committing adultuery. These are violations of the Ten Commandements but somehow people read this passage and don't see the connection between these violations and the destruction for lack of knowledge. But the priests have let the people down. They don't teach the Moral Law that might dissuade them from committing the sins that lead to their destruction.

Some talk about man kinds of knowledge we lack that could lead to our destruction and it's certainly true that it helps protect us to know about germs for instance and the need for sanitary conditions, about the motivations of our enemmies, about the coming tornado and do on and so forth. But we have assurances from scripture that God protects us from these things if we stay close to Him. Psqalm 91 is full of such promises. If we "dwell in the secret place of the Most High," if we regard Him as our refuge and our strength, our shield and buckler, we need not fear "the arrow that flies by day" or the "pestilence that stalks by night." Jihad. COVID. etc.
GOD'S MORAL LAW WILL HAVE THE THE LAST WORD.

That link goes to an older post I did on this subject.

The people who are out to destroy this country have no idea what they are bringing down on themselves. They may in spite of themselves be executing God's judgment on the nation but they are certainly "storing up wrath" for themselves in the process. "Offenses must come but woe to those by whom they come" Criminalsa aren't going to get away with it. Th3e Nazis are not going to get away with it. Nobody gets away with it. The Moral Law is inexorable. It judges to the finest possible degree. Nobody escapes. Nations don't escape. The only way to save America is to roll back our violations of God's Law. Repent repent repent. But the Marxists are going to continue on their treasonous path of mayhem and destruction.

It's a tall order, turning back our violations of God's Law. Probably not going to happen. But individuals can still be saved from their own sins. That's why Jesus came.

Have a Thankful Thanksgiving. But This Year Maybe We'd Be Better Off Fasting in Sackcloth and Ashes Than Mindlessly Feasting.

This is not the post I started out to write. I was going to give the link to the old post about the true history of the original Thanksgiving, maye add some reminders of what we have to be thankful for as a nation, and leave it at that. Well, I'm giving that link but God wouldn't let me leave it at that. Yes it had to be God, yes God works through us, communicates with us, stirs up our conscience, so of course it was God who changed my mind. I'm certainly not saying I got it all right, but the change in direction came from Him. I didn't leave it until the last minute this time so He had time to rattle me up a bit, even as I was writing this.

This old post is about the original meaning of Thanksgiving and we need to be reminded of it every year because of the anti-God revisionist attacks on it. So here's my old post on that subject:

CORRECTING THE REVISIONIST HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING

We should certainly have thanked the Indians for their help to the Plymouth Colony where it all started, but that's not what Thanksgiving is about. We don't dedicate this day to thanking the Indians, we don't thank the turkey, we don't thank MotherEarth or any other pagan deity. It's cause for regret and fear that we've reduced it to "turkey day." It's a day for thanking the Creator God for His blessings on this nation. That was its original inspiration when William Bradford called his Plymouth Colony to assemble to hear a sermon about thankfulness in the third year of their settlement. And it was the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln when he set a date for its observance.

And we should most certainly thank God this year too. Sometimes it seems all His blessings have evaporated but no, not yet. Still, this year it might be more appropriate to make it a day of fasting, prayer and repentance for our egregious violations of God's Law which are bringing the nation to ruin. In fact, the more I think about it the more I think that really is what the day should be this year. What? No Thanksgiving this year? >

Ouch. Is that what God is telling me? Well, there is always something to be thankful for, even in the worst of times, and certainly in our persoal lives. As for the nation, this year we should thank Him profusely for the honest and courageous jury that brought a just verdict in the Rittenhouse trial, because we know the way things are going we can't count on getting a just verdict from our courts any more. Thank Him too for the righteous people who won the Virgina election. Yes thank Him for every remnant of rigghteousness we can recognize, for all those people who are raising their voices against the lies and the injuustices.

But the tugging at my conscience doesn't let up. The crying need is to return tp the original intent of the nation which He blessed. If we still see His blessings here and there it's not because we deserve them now. Perhaps it's just that we haven't yet rim pit pf tje,/ The nation has fallen away from Him even thought there are still some faithful Americans.

Biden won't institute a day of r fascint and prayer on any date -- well he'd have to call for repentancew from his own policies. Isn't going to happen. . Some former Presidents did call for such a day and that's what we need. Now all we can do is call for it in isolated pockets, in individual families, maybe in particular churches.

It's foolishness to think God can't continue to bless a nation that has been abandonimg Him for decades now. We sjpi;d certaom;u repent of our insane policies under some Presidents toward Israel when we've gone along with the lying bogus "Palestinian" cause. But mostly I think of our drift to perverted interpretations of our Constitution, How can God bless a nation that took prayer and the Bible out of our schools because one malicious atheist claimed her rights wree abused by it. Or a nation that make killing unborn babies a "right," or the dispensing of poronography a "right," and Gay Marriage a "right," a nation that has taken up the absurd idea that you can decide what sex you are no matter how God made you. I think the abandonment of the practice of women's covering our heads in church lies somewhere at the root of these violations. And I also wonder about the effect of the abolition of the Sabbath when commerce shut down for one day a week. There is nothing accidtnal about the destructions we are watching daily, God is not mocked. God abandons a nation that abandons Him, especially one that started out dedicated to Him as this one was. We may not be able to trace our national sins with any exactness, but there is no doubt that we are seeing all this political insanity because of them.

If Thanksgiving was really a day of giving sincere thanks to God for His blessings by a majority of the people and particularly by our leadership it would be a good thing. But it's mostly degenerated into a mindless day of feasting for who knbows what reason.

Well, have a happy and genuinely thankful Thanssgiving, but do consider adding a day of fasting and prayer for the repenttance of our national sins to your calendar. (See Damiel 9 for inspiration)_

Building a Refuge From the Great Reset / Great Tribulation Antichrist System

Fighting this beast that is politically transforming the world may well be impossible. Think about all the resistance to it which is so hopeful, but how half the population is kept from knowing about it. How to get the information through that barricade is something I ponder quite a bit. The wall of censorship is awfully effective. Personal conversation seems like it might be the way to go but then you find how effective the propaganda has been and how closed to all new information the people you want to reach are. If they don't go out of their way to hear the other side, the conservative news sources, the conservative talk shows, and do it regularly, not just once in a while, they aren't going to change their minds. The information war is the big barrier. It's what has to be broken and so far I don't see a way to do that. What that means is that half the country (in the US, and I don't know how many throughout the world) believes the lies that are fed through the leftist media every day.

People still believe lies about Trump that have been debunked over and over again. They believe lies about COVID and how to treat it. The propaganda is thick and incessant these dAYS. AThe dissenting voices get heard from time to time but only wrapped in a blanket of lies that demonize them. Even though we had this amazing experience of a just verdict in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, there are still those who call him a murderer, vigilante, white supremancist and heap him with the same lies his acquittal should have brought to an end. TBut the evidence was there from the beginning and they didn't accept it so why shoujld they accept the acquittal?

The division is stark. Those who think we should just try harder to treat each other fairly, listen empathically and so on, are somehow not seeing this iron wall that has been so effectively errected. The only way to listen empathically to people who are believing lies is to try to disabuse them of the lies, but they've heard them so frequently the time and patience it would take to overcome them is beyond possible. God could intervene of course. We can always pray. But if He doesn't provide a way it's not going to happen and so far He seems to want to leave things as they are. That's my dreary conclusion.

So although I'm all for fighting this beast that is threatening to devour the world,I don't see much hope of prevailing except in isolated local skirmishes.

Is all this just a way of justifying the flight out of the most threatened countries? Well, yeah, that's the context I'm writing in at the moment. I won't be fleeing, I'm not up to it, but I support those who are fleeing. Can the Great Reset be avoided? Some think so. That's what the video is about. What if the Great Reseat is the Antichrist Kingdom of the Last Days, or the Great Tribulation? Well, some are going to have to be able to avoid the worst of it or nobody would come out from it alive and we know from scripture that many will.

Anyway, here are two videos about those who are fleeing to Mexico, forming communities to weather the coming storm. The second video is about one particular community, which is just now getting underway. It's a very attractive vision IMO.

Why Mexico is a good place for weathering the Great Reset:



And here's an interview with a couple who are putting together one of the communities for that purpose:



By the way, some of these people identify as Christians. If they are born again Christians and the Great Reseat is really the Great Tribulation, then according to the popular end times prophetic system they will not be here during the Tribulation. Those who need a refuge are those who are not yet saved but will be saved during the Tribulation period.

Israel, God's Clock, and Thorn in the Flesh of this Fallen World

Fascinating historical information in the latest Understanding the Times radio show by Jan Markell. Al about the establishment of the state of Israel and the role of Britain and the US. America has a spotty history regarding our attitude to the Jews and to Israel, as discussed in this show. Rejecting or ignoring when we should have helped but then coming through at crucial moments, particularly under Harry Truman and Richard Nixon, and of course most recently Donald Trump, to support and defend them.

Her guest for this hour is Steven Briggs, The maker of a film series that includes one titled "America and the Israel Effect," a filmI want to see when I can. It's not at Amazon though. the theme is that whoever blessed Israel will be blessed and whoever curses her will be cursed, which comes from God's promise to Abraham that in him all the world will be blessed. That refers to the Messiah Jesus of course, in Whom all the world truly will be blessed and already are. The state of Israel is nevertheless the central emblem of God's working in this world, and the last days will revolve around God's dealings with them.

More Preps for the Great Tribulation

Here's the latest Understanding the Times show by Jan Markell, with pastor Billy Crone, talking about the way things are shaping up according to the plans of the Great Reset. Mention is made of how much further along this path Austrailia is, Canada too for that matter, and how the US is next. Maybe soon after the first of the year. This is the usual review of the Pre-0Tribulation Rapture point of view, which I disagree with on a few specifics, but I'd certainly like their timing of the Rapture to be true. Except of course I'm not worried about Christians anyway, I'm worried about my unsaved family who would have to go through the Tribulation, though perhaps with some protection if they're no longer in the US.

I'm also going to include this interview by Susan with an escapee from Australia who is now in Mexico. They are both Christians and apparently not thinking in terms of the end times as I generally am and as the previous video is aboutt. It's more like the anticipation of the latest version of the Third Reich from which it makes sense for everybody to flee.

I'm posting this although the sound is terrible abd nat naje ut unoissubke fir sine ti gear at akk, U cab naje iyt buts abd oueces if ut,



The Great Tribulation will probably have a lot in common with the Third Reign anyway of course. The Fourth Reigh or Fourth version of the "Holy" Roman Empire. If you want to remind yourself of all that therer are plenty of videos on You Tube about the rise of Hitler and the concentration camnps, including one made in 1945 about the liberation of five or six of the campls. It's gruesome so be warned. But you know that I'm sure. This time the perps will be on the Left, however.
