Toward A Grand Synthesis

August 28th

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

( Genesis 7:11-12 ) KJV

The theory ice ages, of successive retreats and advances of glacial ice, is needed to account for how billions of tons of rocks and debris have been moved around. It is no longer necessary.

Eaten by Worms

Open Door Baptist Church

Acts # 32

20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

( Acts 12:20-25 ) KJV
Eaten by Worms

eaten by worms: σκωληκόβρωτος – skólékobrótos

  • eaten by worms.

There is another place where the word skoleks is used to refer to worms:

42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

( Mark 9:42-28 ) KJV

a worm: σκώληξ – skóléx

  • a gnawing worm; gnawing anguish.

Thanks to my biology background I know that the word scolex is used to refer to part of a worm.

The adult tapeworm has a scolex, or head, a short neck, and a strobila, or segmented body formed of proglottids. Tapeworms anchor themselves to the inside of the intestine of their host using their scolex, which typically has hooks, suckers, or both. They have no mouth, but absorb nutrients directly from the host’s gut. The neck continually produces proglottids, each one containing a reproductive tract; mature proglottids are full of eggs, and fall off to leave the host, either passively in the feces or actively moving. All tapeworms are hermaphrodites, with each individual having both male and female reproductive organs.

Wikipedia

If we connect skolex with scolex then we may conclude that Herod has tapeworms, but what happened to him? The translations are variable but they can be generalized along the following lines:

  1. Herod was immediately struck by an angel of the Lord,
  2. he later died consumed by worms.

However, we need to look more closely at the Greek and look at how the phrase eaten by worms is placed.

Having been is the key.


to come into being: γενόμενος – ginomai

  • to come into being, to happen, to become
  • I come into being, am born, become, come about, happen.
  • properly, to emerge, become, transitioning from one point (realm, condition) to another. 1096 (gínomai) fundamentally means “become” (becoming, became) so it is not an exact equivalent to the ordinary equative verb “to be” (is, was, will be) as with 1510/eimí (1511/eínai, 2258/ēn).
  • “to become, and signifies a change of condition, state or place” (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 109).
  • to come into being/manifestation implying motion, movement, or growth” (at 2 Pet 1:4). Thus it is used for God’s actions as emerging from eternity and becoming (showing themselves) in time (physical space).

Herod may have been infested by tapeworms for quite a while. An angel of the Lord caused the worms to immediately grow so fast that he burst open and they spilled out.

James # 13

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

The discovery of Kat Ion

to rust over: κατίωται

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

( James 5:3 ) KJV

to rust over: κατίωται – katioó

  • to rust over
  • I rust; pass: I am rusted, tarnished.

Why was the Greek word for “rusting over” used for the + charged ion? The Holy Spirit left us an Easter Egg. As we continue the Sophia Proton thought experiment it’s significance will become apparent.

PLEISTOCENE

August 27th

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

( Job 37:9-10 ) KJV

Generalizations have been used to obscure the truth which is that ice formed because the waters of Noah’s flood evaporated. Evaporation causes cooling, and cooling caused the ice. Ice has been retreating ever since Noah’s flood. The ice has been mitigating the effect of the expansion of hell. Now there is very little ice left which is why we are experiencing “climate change.”


Each of the geological Eras, Periods and Epochs are technically accurate descriptions of the evidence. However, the misdirection is that each one happened at a different time in history. They are the same event.


There’s something else to bear in mind: the mammoth and other creatures were preserved in ice. The ice formed because of the cooling effect of the flood waters evaporating. Therefore there was no ice before the flood. The ice was a result of the flood. Therefore the mammoth didn’t live in an icy environment, and paleoecological reconstructions of it are completely wrong. They get cause and effect in the wrong order.

The Bible doesn’t describe a heliocentric system, but that’s okay because we don’t observe heliocentricity. It’s a theoretical interpretation of the empirical geocentrospheric reality: it’s imaginary.

Now About That Time

Open Door Baptist Church

Acts # 31

1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

( Acts 12:1-4 ) KJV
Now About That Time

James was called at the beginning;

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

If the Lord Will

James # 12

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

( James 4:13-17 ) KJV

The Parable of the Rich Fool

( Luke 12:13-21 ) KJV

Life is like a vapor.

Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah

( Psalms 39:5 ) KJV

It vanishes away.

The voice said, “Cry out!”
And he said, “What shall I cry?”
“All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.”

( Isaiah 40:6-8 ) KJV
