"Scientists Find Evidence for Ninth Planet in Solar System"

 

BY NADIA DRAKE

National Geographic

"A PLANET LARGER than Earth could be hiding in the cold, dark depths of the solar system. The presence of the planet, which would lie far beyond Pluto, is betrayed by the curious orbits of a handful of distant icy worlds.

 

As described Wednesday in the Astronomical Journal, the gravitational signature of a large, lurking planet is written into the peculiar orbits of these farflung worlds. Called extreme Kuiper Belt Objects, the misbehaving bodies trace odd circles around the sun that have puzzled scientists for years.

 

It's tantalizing evidence that a ninth large planet might live in the solar system, though the world hasn't been detected yet..."

The Third Temple

"In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:" Amos 9:11

"On The Location of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem"

by Lambert Dolphin and Michael Kollen
from Templemount.org

There are four primary areas on the Temple Mount which are seriously discussed in regard to the actual location of the First and Second Jewish Temples.

Where did the Temple stand?

"Among the numerous controversies about the Temple is the precise location of the original. There are three primary conjectures under active discussion in recent years. These three areas of interest on the Temple Mount have been the focus of intense investigation, much debate and discussion, and growing controversy. Behind many of these discussions lie serious plans by a number of Orthodox Jewish groups for the building of a Third Jewish Temple on the site when political conditions will permit this..."

"Turnings: Introduction"

 

From Fourth Turning

 

"History creates generations, and generations create history. This symbiosis between life and time explains why, if one is seasonal, the other must be. If generational archetypes repeat in a fourfold cycle, this implies a recurrence of social moods or eras that form these archetypes sequentially.

 

This is precisely what Strauss and Howe discovered as they investigated generations in American history: Over the past five centuries, Anglo-American society has traversed a four-stage cycle of social moods or eras. At the start of each era—or "turning" as the authors call them—people change how they feel about themselves, the culture, the nation, and the future. Each turning tends to last about twenty years: roughly the span of a generation, and the amount of time it takes to pass through one entire phase of life. Four turnings comprise a full cycle of about 80 to 90 years, or the length of one long human life. The Romans named this length of time the saeculum, meaning both "a long human life" and "a natural century." In Generations, Strauss and Howe trace seven Saecula in Anglo-American history going back to the late 15th century..."

"Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him..." Ezekiel 38:2

 

 

"GOG OF MAGOG (PART 1)"

By Joel Richardson from Joel's Trumpet

 

"The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 and 39, often referred to as the Battle of Gog and Magog, is hands-down one of the most important and influential end-time prophecies in all of Scripture. But it is also one of the most controversial and widely misunderstood prophecies. Throughout the Church today, a vast number of Christians believe that Ezekiel 38 and 39 predicts a Russian-led invasion of Israel in the last days. Ever since the release of the Scofield Reference Bible, this view has been echoed in dozens upon dozens of prophecy books, in thousands of end-time sermons, and today in countless online end-time discussion forums and articles. I cannot understate how well-established and influential the Russian-Gog view is. Consider for example, the comments made by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1971, to a room full of state legislators:

 

"Ezekiel tells us that Gog, the nation that will lead all of the other powers against Israel, will come out of the north. Biblical scholars have been saying for generations that Gog must be Russia. What other powerful nation is to the north of Israel? None…"

Come, Follow Me,...Matthew 4:19

 

"...What exactly does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?"

BY Billy Graham

"...A disciple is simply someone who believes in Jesus and seeks to follow Him in his or her daily life. Originally, of course, a disciple was someone who literally knew Jesus in the flesh and followed Him—but after He was taken up into Heaven, anyone who was committed to Jesus was called a disciple. And that's what you are, now that you have come to Christ and are seeking to follow Him.

 

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? It means first of all that we want to learn from Him—and we will, as we study God's Word, the Bible, and listen to others teach from it. Make the Bible part of your life every day. The Psalmist said, "The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple" (Psalm 119:130)..."

"CITY FOOD SECURITY: CIVILIZATION IS ONLY NINE MEALS AWAY FROM ANARCHY"

by R GRISWOLD

 

"I supervised a university-level food studies class last week that, partly by design and partly by sheer accident, gave me some new insights into the challenges of city-oriented food security policy.

 

A team of students responsible for teaching a segment on urban food policy tried to stimulate direct engagements with their classmates by getting them to play a version of the software game called Pandemonium – by applying the rules of that game to an imaginary "real life" experience of food policy making..."
