The Time Traveler

there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed (Ezekiel 40)

a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass (Daniel 10:5-6)

I heard the man clothed in linen, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; (Daniel 12:7)

a man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 2:1)

There is a recurring character in the Bible who is, it would seem, a time traveler. The description includes him wearing linen clothes, but his arms and legs appear to be made of polished brass. C-3PO?

Known of God

Davidson Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon page CCXCVIII

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.

(John 18:20) ESV

“You can only be fully loved when you’re fully known,’ is heartwarming sentiment and it’s used as an exhortation to participate in small groups which meet between church services on week days.

Noah’s Flood

August 1

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

(2 Peter 3:5) KJV

The peer review driven narrative of popular science (SciPop) wants you to believe that there’s no evidence of a world-wide flood. A world-wide flood would have left debris everywhere.

Synonymy

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

(Matthew 24:29) KJV

The third axiom of popular science (SciPop) is stars are distant suns and galaxies. It’s part of Galileo’s Bluff, wishful thinking, an inductive rationalization of the premise that stars are distant suns and galaxies.

Scum and Villainy Cantina

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:4-7) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy Spirit) recently had a Twitter exchange with someone who resented God for their very existence. We got nowhere trying to encourage them to be thankful.

Showing God to this Generation

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

(Psalms 71:18) KJV

Christian apologists have been playing defense for generations. They’ve worked to keep the Bible relevant while the world of popular science (SciPop) became an intellectual Death Star and destroyed any competing paradigm.

Tycho’s Geocentric Cosmology

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

(2 Corinthians 10:4-5) KJV

Tycho Brahe made meticulous observation of the cosmos. He was on the Earth so, naturally, he observed a Geocentrospheric system. The problem was that he didn’t know about binary systems because they hadn’t made Star Wars yet.
