BRILLIANT BUTTERFLY FEATURE CHALLENGES DARWINIAN SELECTION
September 23, 2013By Brian Thomas, M.S.
How do butterfly’s wings shine? Like almost all other butterflies, the Morpho has wings covered with scales. Typically, pigmentation patterns across these scales generate wing colors, but a Morpho‘s scales deploy an additional feature.
On top of their scales, Morpho butterflies have countless tiny, tree-like structures with suspended branched arms that manipulate light waves. Spacing among the branches helps match targeted light-wavelengths, like blue for example. Repeated reflections of the same wavelength cause interference effects that, when viewed from certain angles, generate stunning iridescence.

I look Up to God
September 21, 2013Another sign of the times from Delight in Truth’s blog…
The class assignment at Lucy Elementary in Millington, Tennessee was to write about an idol.
Erin Shead is a 10-year-old Christian who picked God as her model and proceeded with the above project. She wrote:
“He will always be the #1 Person I look up to”
“I look up to Him because He put me on this earth”
“I love Him, and Jesus is His earthly Son. I also love Jesus”
Delight in Truth is very proud of this young Christian who knows correct doctrine and is not ashamed of it in a world which is unfriendly to Christians.
How unfriendly, you ask?
Her paper was rejected by the teacher. Erin was told that she is prohibited to choose God for her assignment, and to take the paper off school property. I would not have been surprised at all if this happened in communist Romania where atheism was the law…

SUKKOT 2013
September 20, 2013Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)
By: David Soakell CFI UK
Throughout Israel this week, (September 19th – 25th) the people are celebrating Sukkot or The Feast of Tabernacles. (Leviticus 23:33-43) At its most basic level, Tabernacles is a celebration of the abundance of God’s blessings in connection with the ingathering of the Autumn Harvests. It is also a memorial to the Exodus, when the Jews wandered in the wilderness, living in tabernacles or booths (temporary dwelling places) en-route to the Promised Land. Could this remind us that we are also in a temporary dwelling? In 2 Corinthians 4:18-5:2 we read, “Fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling…”
Many Christians also celebrate this Feast and some believe that this is the correct time of Jesus’ birth when He came to “tabernacle among us [Immanuel].” If so, He would have been conceived around Chanukah/Christmas [the light of the world?]. Chanukah of course means the festival of lights and Yeshua (Jesus) is the Light of the world. Add nine months from Chanukah and you will roughly come up to the Feast of Tabernacles. According to all natural laws, the Israeli’s should have perished in the wilderness, but were instead divinely protected by God. Tabernacles, is therefore a representation of faith in God’s protection and promises.
As the Nation of Israel continues to face a time of uncertainty, may we pray that the Lord would protect His people and tabernacle with them.

I would like to thank my missionary friend who is heading back to Israel for sending this to me via email.

PEACE THROUGH PREVAILING PRAYER
September 10, 2013“I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not.” {#Jer 33:3}
There are different translations of these words. One version renders it, “I will shew thee great and fortified things.” Another, “Great and reserved things.” Now, there are reserved and special things in Christian experience: all the developments of spiritual life are not alike easy of attainment. There are the common frames and feelings of repentance, and faith, and joy, and hope, which are enjoyed by the entire family; but there is an upper realm of rapture, of communion, and conscious union with Christ, which is far from being the common dwelling place of believers. We have not all the high privilege of John, to lean upon Jesus’ bosom; nor of Paul, to be caught up into the third heaven. There are heights in experimental knowledge of the things of God which the eagle’s eye of acumen and philosophic thought hath never seen: God alone can bear us there; but the chariot in which he takes us up, and the fiery steeds with which that chariot is dragged, are prevailing prayers. Prevailing prayer is victorious over the God of mercy, “By his strength he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us.” Prevailing prayer takes the Christian to Carmel, and enables him to cover heaven with clouds of blessing, and earth with floods of mercy. Prevailing prayer bears the Christian aloft to Pisgah, and shows him the inheritance reserved; it elevates us to Tabor and transfigures us, till in the likeness of his Lord, as he is, so are we also in this world. If you would reach to something higher than ordinary grovelling experience, look to the Rock that is higher than you, and gaze with the eye of faith through the window of importunate prayer. When you open the window on your side, it will not be bolted on the other.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92)

GENDER DIVERSITY?
September 7, 2013I found this on Pat Howard’s Facebook page. It’s pretty sad.
My comment (Question):
Will this eventually become the law of the land? I certainly hope not.

EVER HEARD OF THE BURNING MAN GATHERING?
September 7, 2013I found this story at a blog that I recently became aware of. It is called “M’Kayla’s korner” and has some very interesting articles, like this one, there. I am putting her blog on my blogroll if you would like to check it out.
This is one very strange event:
‘Burning Man’ Draws 68,000 To America’s Largest Pagan Cult Gathering
My comment:
The New Age movement is alive and well and moving into the churches at an alarming rate. Check out your church’s statement of faith. Make sure that it coincides with the truth of God’s Word. Unfortunately, solid Bible teaching is getting harder to find. Seek and ye shall find.

DAMASCUS A RUINOUS HEAP?
September 6, 2013What about Damascus? Right now very interesting things are happening in Syria. You would have to be deaf not to have at least heard a bit about it.
https://chrisreimersblog.com/2012/11/28/the-future-of-damascus/
And Just yesterday:
Isaiah 17:1
King James Version (KJV)
17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
My thoughts:
I believe this is a prophecy that has yet to be fulfilled. It’s like the prophecies concerning the rapture. We look for signs but we don’t know when these prophecies will come to pass. Either could happen tonight. Either could happen in 100 years or more. It is very possible the prophecy that Isaiah spoke of in 17:1 could happen very soon. What will God use to destroy Damascus? It could be an earthquake, a nuclear event, bombing from a regional war, or even a supernatural event that is without explanation. There are many possibilities.
I continue to watch Israel because I believe that the little nation, created by a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is God’s timepiece.

PSALM 83 AND THE UPCOMING MIDDLE EAST WAR
October 5, 2013I think Bill Salus MAY be onto something.
PSALM 83 AND THE UPCOMING MIDDLE EAST WAR
I have to admit that Prophecy in the News has some strange speakers at their prophecy conferences. However, I’ve never seen Gary set a date and many of his guests contribute some thought-provoking ideas.
