A sheep in wolf's clothing.
I gotta have a place where I just tell you stuff.
Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the East, and there he put the man he had formed.
(Genesis 2:8) Good News Translation
The traditional battle line of the science vs. faith debate is creation vs. evolution. However, science requires faith, and evolution is an integral part of the creation narrative.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
(John 8:12) NKJV
Things on Earth are patterned after things in the heavens. God has withdrawn his presence from the world and dwells in a realm of light, while we’re here on Earth toiling through an ever encroaching darkness.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
(Matthew 13:44-46) NKJV
We had a dream recently (September 19, 2020). We saw a pearl. In the dream we were shown that the formation of a pearl is a picture of core accretion and planet formation.

(Exodus 22:2) KJV
Thou shalt not kill is possibly the most easy to remember of the Ten Commandments. Like most of the Bible, however, it really isn’t as simple as that. The first time that the Ten Commandments are found in the Bible is Exodus Chapter 20, which describes the scene when Moses went up into Mount Sinai to receive the stone tablets from the Lord. Yet shortly after this begins the long list of caveats and addendums which make up a considerable portion of the book of Exodus, and most of the book of Leviticus. What we are told is that if someone breaks into your home at night and you kill them (bear in mind that there was no electricity for light) you are not guilty of murder. This is an instance when the normal way that homicide is dealt with does not apply. During a break in at night and in the darkness, confusion and panic you kill the intruder, it’s their own fault. Their blood is not on your hands and you are not liable.
This is what we call common sense. It was common sense in Biblical times and there are common sense reasons why the use of deadly force is allowed under the law today.
There are four conditions that must apply in order for the use of deadly force to be justified.
In North Carolina Exodus 22:2 is part of the law because in the case of someone breaking into your house the law presumes rule 1.
Presumption of a threat: If someone is attempting to or has made an unlawful forceful entry into your home, motor vehicle or workplace the law presumes the imminent threat of death or great bodily harm.
Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.
(Isaiah 58:1) NKJV
Matty’s Paradigm began years ago as a little booklet called Matthew 2000, published in 1999, in which we effervesced about our salvation and our excitement at beginning to understand science in Biblical terms.

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
(Revelation 22:8-9) KJV
The Bible tells us to ponder and meditate on its sayings. Can you think of ways in which keeping any of the sayings of the Bible has helped you this year?

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
(James 3:13-18) ESV
We’ve been thinking about being meek. Probably because we don’t think that we are very meek. Meek isn’t a bad thing. Definitions of meek seem to miss the point.

He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:7-8) NKJV
Overcoming is when we allow the Word of God to change us and make us more like the Lord. It’s when we realize that there is no spoon.

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
( Daniel 2:34-35 ) KJV
We use our spherical hollow earth model (SHEM) to bring clarity to the process of change that the Earth undergoes during the tribulation. We show how a great mountain will fill the whole Earth.

(Daniel 2:34-35) KJV
By adding Daniel to Isaiah and Zechariah we’re starting to build a deep bench of prophets who foresaw the changes that take place at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.
