In life we eat food which are defined as calories and heat energy, we use are minds and muscles to think and command our bodies throughout the day with electromagnetic nerve conduction and force. The electromagnetic nerve conduction is directed to our muscles by our brains which causes the muscles to contract. Muscles also relax and can contract again to lift heavy and light objects. We even command not only ourselves but our children and sometimes others and objects around us when necessary.

Thus we use the fire and lightning in our bodies to do either good as supplied by our loving father in heaven, or evil supplied by mammon or the dark beings that serve mammon.

God is often described in the bible as a fire, the burning bush, the quickening spirit, etc:

1 Corinthians 15:

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.


God is different than us creations of God. He can quickening the fire and lightning of works and stop them in time so that if evil they do not harm our souls. He cleans our temples that are our souls of the fallen works. And we should keep our temples holy so that the lord will visit our souls with his holy spirit.

The apostles witnessed Satan coming down from heaven like lightning:

Luke 10:

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Also the fiery dragon and his angels fought against Michael and his angels and were cast out:

Revelation 12

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.


In peace, joy and love, and the grace of God and the good works and energy he supplies us are pleasant and brings life and heavenly gifts to us as he loves us.

Einstein received the gift of knowledge in establishing the ideas that faster motion and approaching the speed of light slows time. Also that matter and energy are equivalent. Those are children level ideas well below God's glory, power and dominion.

How much energy of fire and lightning do we command each second, minute, hour, day, year in our potential lifetime of 120 years?

We are commanded to NOT steal, do brute harm, murder, commit adultery, bear false witness, engage in sexual immorality, waste our lives in selfish pursuits. Those things harm our selves and others, mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.

We therefore should not spread false beliefs or deceptions which are imaginations that are actual darkness and shine no real light. Nor blaspheme our God and his truth and ways.

God is light, truth, love and eternal life, he is the God of the heavens and earth which is within his universe. He created all things and saw they were good, which included us as in our parents Adam and Eve as we are their descendants. And when they became fallen, he sent his Son, Jesus the Christ as well as His Holy Spirit to guide and comfort us. We are to be led to our Father in Heaven thru and with Jesus the Christ and The Holy Spirit. So that we can be together again. We were also together in the pre-existance. When we are together again we will have peace, happiness and joy.

We are to help each other and to invest time, effort, energy, goods, monies, works, etc. in serving God and his creations which are our neighbors. We are to honor and worship Jesus the Christ, His Father and the Holy Ghost in love, and to love our neighbors.

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are comforts to our soul and do not work against the laws of God given to mankind:

Galatians 5:22-25

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.


-----‐---------

We are blessed with the new covenant of Christ if we desire when God delivers us.

John 14:

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.


...

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

@rockytopva I was hoping you'd like the above testimony that I learned from The Lord God, I know you like the e=mc^2 Einstein ideas, I know there are many other what are called "great minds" of the 1900's and before, after eras. Planck, Maxwell, Einstein, Newton, The scientists of the thermodynamic laws, and so many more we learn about in the physics branch of the science tree. Gifts of knowledge from God.

The famous: T = T0 / (1 - v^2 / c^2)^1/2 also.

The e = mc^2 of course goes together with the static and dynamic mass-energy equivalence principle:

E^2 = m^2 * c^4 + p^2 * c^2

Cheers,

When I pondered the above passages regarding things the following scriptures came to mind:

Matthew 11:

11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.


I know The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are in heaven with the holy ones of heaven. They are made clean, white they wear. God cleanses us of evil works and desires us to engage in good works and to refrain from sin.

It is easier if we are engaged in doing service to God and his children that we are about something that is far away from evil already, and evil omitted from our thoughts and works, becoming a distant past and vague memory.

If we become idle and have the ability, that we rest for a moment when necessary and arise with force and renewed energy towards good works which reward our souls and renew our energy.

It is true, God's service quenches our thirst and feeds our souls with heavenly fruits and the bread of life which are from God, our savior Jesus the Christ and their holy spirit of God.

Amen.

When we are able that we serve God and that we engage in the betterment of others, which is incidently our own betterment.

Those works we keep with us and enjoy throughout the ages and in the life beyond. As God in the scriptures points out. He rewards us in heaven for such good intentions and works.

On the other hand, selfish works, and gain, which is injuring to others monetarily, relationship wise, physically, mentally, emotionally and/or spiritually or some other way may also remain with us as a dual measure which eventually ends up as our own injury to self. Dual measure as evil works harm others as well as self. Which is the target of selfishness works and the gain is not good. We are therefore called to repent of those things. Jesus the Christ can and does heal us and heals the nations of such things. We must have hope, faith and believe in the fact that the same Almighty God that created us and the heavens and universe, is quite able to heal and save us. And that makes perfect sense.

I pray we all desire to help in what way we can in that important mission.

It is also essential that we visit and help those that are not able to serve and include them that are little able to serve as well. Little children, the disabled, the less fortunate, elderly and widows. I know many are called and chosen in those areas already.

Thank You.

The sheer brilliance of God becomes clear when we study areas of science together.

Such as particle physics, the fundamental forces, atomic physics, molecular physics.

Those areas are the support for the universe, sun, earth and moon as well as waters of the earth, weather that waters the lifeforms, light and heat from the sun warming us. Including gas laws and thermodynamics, electromagnetic, gravity, etc.

On top of that are the cellular sciences of lifeforms, plant, animal and eventually intelligent sentient life as humans.

The human body is an incredible living machine that is part of our soul. Organics and the various components of the body work together with our spirit as well as the spirit of life which is God. We are more than a spirit with a machine like body though. We have what I currently believe is an interface between the body and spirit which is our emotions people call a heart. The eye of the soul may be like our hearts together with our minds. God has a good loving nature as he is full of virtue and feeds us good feelings emotionally. He is above the glory of what the bible calls the glory of the sun. There is also the glory of the moon which is more physical glory. Also the glory of the stars. When I think of God's virtue I think of the sun shining a warming light for us to see and feel pleasant things.

While the earth is glorious to behold with all the water bodies, plant life, birds and other living creatures, I wonder if God's creation which is mankind is more brilliant a design. And as the Bible points out we are made in the image of our creator God. The earth and its waters and atmosphere can be mighty in power, including gravity, that is true. And as the Bible testifies of, God can and does command those forces slso.

From our minds, to skeletal frame, muscles, immune system, internal support organs, to our ability to command our environment and, in the last days before the lord's return, engage in modern technology, it is clear that we are a complex creation of God's. We are also able to choose and deviate from our current condition and direction. A process of learning which is supported by a timeline as we learn from our past, knowledge and wisdom from God and do better today and in making decisions for today and our futures.

And God and our savior are crucial in our changing nature, and becoming more Christ like. We can become better parents, brothers and sisters and even children. As God heals us we become free from damage mentally, emotionally and for many physically so that we can be different than damaged, better. And the resurrection witnessed and testified in the holy scriptures is our faith, hope and belief. And God and his testaments and covenants are true.

Amen.

In the words of Paul who clearly received much from our Lord and his holy spirit:


1 Corinthians 13:

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

God discussed his throne areas some time ago and categories it into 3 parts:

Throne of the Almighty God, The Father, truth, universe, heavens, etc. Judgements.

Throne of the Jesus the Christ, the saviors works which are vast. I have seen that the spirit of our lord is also Almighty to me. Mercy, direction, physician, counsel.

Throne of the Almighty Spirit of God. God commands his spirit to the places he is needed with Almighty power and authority.

God tends to matters of creation, destruction and salvation in his Thrones for protection of us.

There are fires and lightning of both Good works of God and also from the fall of mankind and evil works.

There are visible colors like the colors of the rainbow spiritual and physical that God has and does bring visions to his children.

But beware, we know that the evil one has also brought visions, even to Jesus during his temptations written of in the Bible.

In loving kindness I witness.

One interesting concept to consider is the correct God of Christianity teaching when the Holy Bible is reviewed together with God's guidance coupled with the studies of the Spiritual nature/virtue of God and design of mankind, also lifeforms (cellular, genetic life) and physics, biology, and other sciences.

Elohim's Almighty Throne: Spirit(s) of Father, Son and Holy Ghost): God's spirit moved on the waters and said "let there be light". Formed the heavens and earth, universe. See the book of Genesis.

God the Father's Almighty Throne of Appearance like Iron (2nd book of Enoch, recovered from the dead sea scrolls) (And Golden in Appearance in Heaven, gold tried in the fire as discussed by our lord Jesus the Christ in scripture): He and His Almighty Spirit(s) supports the particles [photon, phonon, other particles (electron, proton, neutron) of static (electric, mass) and dynamic (magnetic, momentum) nature] with forces (electromagnetic, strong, weak, gravity) the atoms, molecules. Building blocks.

Jesus the Christ's Almighty Throne: God the Father supports lifeforms of Christ, risen from the fall, of genetic, cellular forms, mankind, beast, bird, reptile, insect, plant (herb, fruit, etc) with particles, forces, the building blocks of matter. The forms of living creatures also built with genetic and cellular building blocks.

Jesus the Christ supports the living creatures in body of eternal life.

God the Father is King, Jesus the Christ is Lord together with Elohim (The Spirit of God) and They are Almighty in Kingdom, Power and Glory.

Mary was found with child of the power of God and His Holy Spirit. We were then blessed with God's Son Jesus who is the Christ and Emmanuel (God among us).

I consider that gold tried in the fire is good works. Lightning and fire of kinetic energies of mankind, specifically God's children adopted into his family and redeemed from the fall doing God's will and works upon the earth and maybe also in heaven.

In the basic sense in the gift of knowledge which is physics that teaches that mass is energy as the mass energy equivalence principle of Albert Einstein's work, which was built from others who received gifts of knowledge in the last days like Maxwell, Planck and others. We were in the dark ages and I think God poured out his loving spirit in the last days to all of mankind.

There are however of course them that would, at times, use science and technology for evil. And yes it can be used for good which is why it was given to mankind. Sadly enough for those that do evil it, in the end, will be their own destruction. Fear not he who can kill the body, but instead fear him who can destroy body and spirit in hell. And that is God.

Gold is a rare metal that is atomic and particulate. Those atoms and particles come from God's energies of spoken word from the origin of creation And are found in a small percentage of the matter of planet earth.

Then mankind following Christ our Lord in the perfect works of the Father, guided together with God's Holy Spirit is energy and also mass. In analogy perhaps precious as like gold.

There is of course the discussion of man cannot serve two masters God and mammon. Mammon is then ultimately death and hell which are the kinetic energies used for evil works. He who kills by the sword must die by the sword and he who leads to captivity is lead to captivity. Those are considered evil works of death and hell which lead to spirit prison.

Satan and his dark followers serve death and hell and considered deceptive murderers. They sometimes tempt mankind into divers kinds of evil works.

God is full of good works and rewards in heaven. Peace, love, joy and the other fruits of the Holy Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-25 are fruits of those works.

God's virtue is like a radiant sun of warmth, light and he is a life giving spirit.

Lastly is the resurrection of mankind. Although mankind are healed at various times in earthly form of bodies and spirits there is the discussion of the resurrection of different glory.


40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Also Paul talks about the 3rd heaven:


12 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

And from the 2nd book of Enoch recovered from the dead sea scrolls, which was among many scriptures of that era that some are breifly mentioned in the Holy Bible and spoken of and also not included in those scriptures in their entirety. I was taught that Roman council prayed for which to include when Paul, Peter and perhaps others brought Christianity to them from our Lord God.

First a breif discussion related to the above and below books of Enoch and Paul:

The Lord bares the infirmities of his people, he heals them and resurrects them into eternal life and happiness in heaven, and deals often privately in matters of God's suffering for the salvation of his people, and that perhaps is a private matter of God's, together with contending against them that desire evil against God's people. Also the salvation of God's children can be mostly a private matter between Jesus, Heavenly Father and their specific child on earth of any earthly age.

Lightning and fire of evil kinetic works which are death and hell and are not compatible with mankind's needs of life and heavenly gifts which is why we should obey God's commandments. And can and do appear terrible and frightening as a God fearing child of God does not desire nor enjoy anger of God, as in turbulent and violent forces of lightning and fire. God however is almighty in his ability to save and provide for those that desire bread of life from God.

God's people who love him and his children are often blessed with grace and peace which are pleasant as well as other earthly and heavenly gifts. Even though the earth can be at unfortunate times turbulent and even some of the people, animals turbulent, God does bless those that desire to be blessed in this earthly life and the life in heaven.

God does at times engages with the wicked to chastise in degrees for them to repent before they, thru works of evil, are destroyed physically and/or spiritually.

And sometimes that kinetic energy of evil works is spared from his people thru God's Almighty Christ, and God's almighty powers, those of his people who are afflicted by those that make themselves the enemies of God and his people and attempt and/or enact harm against them. Such is the story of the book of Exodus as one example.

God in heaven and upon the earth also, as discussed, has good works which are for the life and aid of mankind, to protect, feed, and heal them in life and happiness.

Here is a portion of the 2nd book of Enoch, noting similarities to the above discussion from Paul to the Corinthians:


ON the tenth Heaven, Aravoth, I
saw the appearance of the Lord's
face, like iron made to glow in fire,
and brought out, emitting sparks,
and it burns.

2 Thus I saw the Lord's face, but
the Lord's face is ineffable, marvel-
lous and very awful, and very, very
terrible.

3 And who am I to tell of the Lord's
unspeakable being, and of his very
wonderful face? And I cannot tell
the quantity of his many instruc-
tions, and various voices, the Lord's
throne very great and not made with
hands, nor the quantity of those
standing round him, troops of cher-
ubim and seraphim, nor their incess-
ant singing, nor his immutable
beauty, and who shall tell of the in-
effable greatness of his glory?

4 And I fell prone and bowed down
to the Lord, and the Lord with his
lips said to me:

5 'Have courage, Enoch, do not
fear, arise and stand before my face
into eternity.'

6 And the archistratege Michael lif-
ted me up, and led me to before the
Lord's face.

7 And the Lord said to his servants
tempting them: 'Let Enoch stand be-
fore my face into eternity,' and the
glorious ones bowed down to the
Lord, and said: 'Let Enoch go ac-
cording to Thy word.'

8 And the Lord said to Michael: 'Go
and take Enoch from out his earthly
garments, and anoint him with my
sweet ointment, and put him into the
garments of My glory.'

9 And Michael did thus, as the Lord
told him. He anointed me, and
dressed me, and the appearance of
that ointment is more than the great
light, and his ointment is like sweet dew, and its smell mild, shining like
the sun's ray, and I looked at myself,
and was like one of his glorious
ones.

Notice the following:

ineffable: not to be uttered.

"the ineffable Hebrew name that gentiles write as Jehovah"

Another translation:


22 |In the 10th heaven the archangel Michael brought Enoch in front of the face of the LORD. Word “21.”|



And on the 10th heaven, Aravoth, I saw the view of the face of the LORD, like iron made burning hot in a fire |and| brought out, and it emits sparks and is incandescent. Thus even I saw the face of the LORD. But the face of the LORD is not to be talked about, it is so very marvelous and supremely awesome and supremely frightening. •|And| who am I to give an account of the incomprehensible being of the LORD, and of his face, so extremely strange and indescribable?

Jesus rules the heavens and earth, universe, galaxies and the creations above, upon and under the earthly places together with God the Father and Elohim the Holy Ghost in their Almighty Throne(s). The earth is Jesus' footstool and that old serpent is under foot of him. The following verses introduce to us an Almighty God which is known of in old times, and hopefully not misunderstood in these, the last days. He teaches in heaven to the holy redeemed there, in happiness, love and joy to them. And even with concern for loved one's still in earthly probation. Them that are tested and them also that desire salvation from Him.


Isaiah 66

1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Psalms 91

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Luke 10

18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
