BIBLE KNOWS BEST: “THE LIFE OF ALL FLESH,” – GOOD ADVICE FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON


Exploring Creation - Wonders Without Number

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD

Video Transcript
“In Leviticus 17:14 we read that “the life of all flesh is the blood thereof.”

While the majority of animals contain blood, there are a few creatures that don’t. The Sea Sponge would be a good example. However, the passage in Leviticus speaks of the life of FLESH. The sponge is an aquatic life form, containing no flesh. It’s interesting to note that while optical effects cause our blood vessels to appear blue when seen through lightly pigmented skin, blood is typically red throughout the animal world, and it’s always red in humans.

But does the Bible know best? Is the life of flesh really the blood? Let’s take a look at a rather recent example.

Bloodletting was practiced all the way back in ancient Greece and was common practice as recently as colonial times.
The average adult body contains only around 160 or 170 ounces of blood, yet it’s estimated that over 125 ounces of blood was let from George Washington in the hours just before his death.

When we run out of blood, we run out of life! What might seem obvious now was looked at much differently less than 200 years ago. But the Bible knows best, and the key to healthy life was spelled out for us, thousands of years ago, in the inspired book of Leviticus.”

Israeli Official Taunts Obama:
Criticism Only Helps Netanyahu

‘They actually are achieving the opposite direction’

Exclusive — The Obama administration’s criticism of the current Israeli government only serves to make Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party more popular with the electorate, charged Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon in a U.S. radio interview Sunday.

Danon was speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s AM 970 The Answer.

Danon had been asked about some recent accusations the Obama administration may be trying to influence the March 17 general elections in Israel by repeatedly criticizing Netanyahu’s policies.

The Likud politician charged “there are a few people in the administration who sometimes want to get involved and I can tell you one thing. Whenever somebody tries to get involved in our politics they actually are achieving the opposite direction.”

He continued: “For example, when President Clinton was trying to get involved in the elections in Israel, he was supporting the Likud party. The same for today.

“The more pressure we see that comes from the U.S. it makes my party, the Likud party, stronger. Because the people understand that the prime minister and the Likud Party are standing on the issues.”

Danon stressed he was referring only to some White House members and not the general U.S. leadership.

He spoke of Israel’s “very strong relationship with the United States,” which he told Klein he had personally witnessed.

“I was in the Pentagon in the last summer as the deputy minister of defense and I was exposed to the level of support and confidence that we have between the strong nations,” stated Danon.

Leftist politicians here have repeatedly utilized Obama administration criticism of the current Israeli government to attack Netanyahu politically.

In October, Israel’s Ynet news website reported that a request by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon to meet with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice during his visit to Washington had been denied by the White House. This reported move is highly unusual, and was seen in Israel as a nearly unprecedented snub of Netanyahu’s government.

It helped to set off a firestorm against Netanyahu domestically, particularly among the center and the left, with senior politicians Tzippy Livni and Yair Lapid leading the charge.

Also in October, the U.S. espoused uncharacteristically harsh language to oppose a plan for Israel to build 2,610 new homes on empty lots in Givat Hamatos, a Jerusalem neighborhood in the eastern section of the city where Palestinians want to build a future state.

Immediately following a meeting between Netanyahu and President Obama in October, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki and White House spokesman Josh Earnest took the Israeli leader’s delegation by surprise when they released nearly identical statements slamming the Jerusalem construction.

They warned the housing plans could distance Israel from its “closest allies,” a clear euphemism for the U.S., and questioned whether Netanyahu was interested in peace.

Netanyahu for his part said at the time that he was “baffled” by the U.S. criticism, stating the American position “doesn’t really reflect American values.”

Lapid and Livni endorsed the U.S. condemnation and accused Netanyahu of damaging U.S.-Israeli relations.

Lapid took further issue with Netanyahu’s plan to build roughly 400 homes in Har Homa and about 600 in Ramat Shlomo.

“This plan will lead to a serious crisis in Israel-U.S. relations and will harm Israel’s standing in the world,” Lapid said.

Again in October, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg described relations between the U.S. and Israel as a “full-blown crisis” and reported that senior Obama administration officials had called Netanyahu “chickensh-t” on matters related to the so-called peace process.

Lapid jumped on the remarks to release a vaguely nuanced criticism of Netanyahu: “I said only a few days ago that there is a real crisis in the relations and it needs to be dealt with responsibly,” he said, while lecturing U.S. and Israeli officials on the “need to tackle the crisis behind the scenes.”

Adding more fuel to the firestorm, Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper reported last month the Obama administration had held a classified discussion a few weeks earlier about possibly taking more proactive measures against the “settlements,” including mulling sanctions or punishing Israel at the United Nations.

The State Department dismissed the claims as “unfounded and completely without merit.”...

WOW: Gallup Polls Says THIS Was the Biggest Problem
Facing Americans in 2014

By Greg Campbell, TPNN — The U.S. has no real shortage of problems; the American people are saddled with an economy that is propped-up by continued borrowing and spending, our president acts as a monarch and thanks to tremendously weak foreign policy, our prestige on the world stage is heading South like Sherman and it’s only getting worse. If all that bothers you, you are not alone; according to Gallup, the biggest problem facing Americans in 2014 was the government. Or, put another way: exactly what the Tea Party has been saying for years....

JUST CAME IN: More Than One Fourth Of All The Passengers On The Crashed Indonesian Plane Belonged To The Same Christian Church

By Theodore Shoebat, Shoebat.com — New information on the passengers who died on the crashed Indonesian plane has just been released, and it shows something quite shocking: more than one fourth of the passengers belonged to the same Christian church. As we read in one report:
More than a quarter of the victims on AirAsia flight 8501 were members of the same pentecostal church in Indonesia, the AP reports.

Mawar Sharon Church, in Surabaya, Indonesia, hosted a prayer service earlier this week as to comfort relatives and remember those who were lost in the crash.

The Rev. Philip Mantofa offered faith as comfort to one man: “If God has called your child, allow me to say this: Your child is not to be pitied,” CBS reports the man saying. “Your child is already in God’s arms. One day, your family will be reunited in heaven.”
So many Christians have died, and truly it is heartbreaking. To learn more about the Indonesian plane, Shoebat.com did a very extensive study and it can be found by clicking here....

“Moderate” Fatah: Netanyahu Will Be Hanged “Soon”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch — This will become the occasion for renewed calls for the Israelis to make new concessions to the “Palestinians,” so as to relieve their sense of grievance. But what Western officials refuse to acknowledge is that while the pretexts always shift, the grievances always remain, as they are the basis for those concessions.

JUST RELEASED: ISIS Releases Absolutely Horrific Video Of Them Mass Slaughtering Innocent Pilots To Send A Message To Americans

By Walid Shoebat (Shoebat Exclusive) — A Youtube video claimed to be from the Islamic State ISIS (the user posted it under Al-Khilafa Al-Islamiyeh, Islamic State, ISIS) focusing on the Jordanian pilot Moaz Safi Yousef al-Kassasbeh who is held by Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in Raqqa that gives the judgment of execution stating “cut off his head” as judgment being passed from a Sharia perspective that this is the punishment of the pilot and all the pilots who are captured. They also stated that regardless that al-Kassasbeh read the Quran he will get the punishment of Riddeh (considered a defector from Islam) for “aiding and abetting the crusaders” (the Americans) which they pledged to behead any U.S. pilot who is caught.

Nearly 200 Christian Churches Destroyed In Surge Of Violence
‘Documents What The Mainstream Media Fail To Report’

By WND Exclusive — There was a surge of anti-Christian violence by Muslims around the world that included the destruction of nearly 200 Christian churches in Nigeria during a short period around October, according to a new report from the GateStone Institute. The organization’s Raymond Ibrahim, who has documented his discoveries in “Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War in Christians,” released the assessment of the recent surge on Friday. “In just two months, from August to October, nearly 200 Christian churches were destroyed in Nigeria by the Islamic organization Boko Haram and its Muslim allies, after their capture of towns and villages in the northeastern states of Borno and Adamawa,” the report said. “In the words of Rev. Gideon Obasogie, the director of Catholic Social Communication of Maiduguri Diocese in Borno State, ‘the group’s seizure of territory in both states has seen 185 churches torched and over 190,000 people displaced by [Boko Haram.]”...

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14

George Washington
1st President of the United States (1789-1797)

Quote in Context
These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me I trust in thinking, that there are none under the influence of which the proceedings of a new and free Government can more auspiciously commence.

We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained; and since the preservation of sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps finally, staked of the experiment... --President George Washington, First Inaugural Address

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, 3 October 1789

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
