Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
(Revelation 22:1) ESV
The river of the water of life
The wasted city is broken down
The wasted city is broken down; every house is shut up so that none can enter.

Jeremiah’s Logic
Thus says the LORD: “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the LORD.”
(Jeremiah 31:37) ESV
Today we begin to look at how the Bible handles references to features of the mantle. From this we’ll piece together a picture of the interior of the Earth. It’s important to know how little we really know about it.

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
(John 9:41) ESV
An example of evidence is the worldwide distribution of sedimentary rock. In geology it’s called the stratigraphic column. We could euphemistically call it a scientific fact, although the word fact is sufficient by itself.

July 25
For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
(Galatians 1:12) ESV
Evidence doesn’t lead to a conclusion, it just is. The idea that evidence is neutral and we all have access to it is known as Matty’s razor. We interpret evidence in a way that fits what we believe.

Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
(Psalms 94:20) ESV
If there’s one thing that the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us it’s that the authorities which govern us don’t know how to wield authority or govern us. However, they’ve given us some photographic gems.

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
(2 Corinthians 4:18) NKJV
Faith and sight are opposites, like light and darkness, good and evil. When you have one you don’t need the other, and vice versa. We also use them as concepts in a unified theory of everything.

Happy Π Day!
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
(1 Kings 7:23) KJV
Today is an opportune time to discuss something quintessentially Biblical: math.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Romans 10:9-10) KJV
Principia Mattymatica is complicated but don’t worry, it’s not necessary for salvation. There isn’t a quiz or exam. Whatever you believe about the Bible and science doesn’t have any influence over your salvation.

When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
(Proverbs 8:27) KJV
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
(2 Chronicles 4:2) KJV
Proverbs 8:27 is an example of the use of the word compass to describe a circumference. With the information in 2 Chronicles 4:2 we may derive a value for the volume of a bath, so long as we know what a cubit is.
