The sun which is about 93,000,000 miles from the earth; it is 865,400 Miles in diameter; weights about 1,980,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and is considered a dwarf star compared to others. It is a large magnet, as are all the fixed stars and planets. It is the center of our solar system with 9 major planets. (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) There are trillions of solar systems beyond ours. Distances out there are measured in LIGHT-YEARS. By example, it takes 400 light years to reach us from earth from the North Star! At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. (Palms 102:25)
And He brought him (Abram) outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, look now toward the heavens and count the stars--if you are able to number them. (Genesis 15:5a) Thousands of galaxies were identified and cataloged by the British astronomers during the early part of the 19th century. Since 1900 galaxies have been discovered in large numbers by photographic searches. Galaxies at enormous distances from earth appear so tiny on a photograph that they can hardly be distinguished from stars. The largest known galaxy has about 13 times as many stars as the Milky Way. When I view and consider Your Heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established, (Palms 8:3) For most galaxies, only the combined light of all the stars is detected. Galaxies exhibit a variety of forms. Some have an overall globular shape, with a bright nucleus. Such galaxies, called elliptical, contain a population of old stars, usually with little apparent gas or dust, and few newly formed stars. Elliptical galaxies come in a vast range of sizes, from giant to dwarf. THE HEAVENS declare the Glory of G-d; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. (Palms 19:1) The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has revealed many more ring galaxies than astronomers expected, suggesting that galactic collisions may be common. For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and Divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], (Romans 1:20)
All planets are round (Isaiah 40:22). The earth turns on its own axis eastward at more than 1,000 mph. Each year the earth revolves more than 584 million miles around the sun at the rate of 66,700 mph, or 1.6 million miles a day. The earth's revolution round the sun establishes our year; rotation on its axis establishes our day. The 23.5 degree inclination of the earth's axis causes the change of seasons and varying lengths of night and day as the earth journeys around the sun. The earth requires 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds to complete one revolution around the sun; and 23 hours and 56 minutes to complete one rotation on its axis.
And
to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the
beginning of the world hath been hid in
G-d,
who created all things by
Jesus Christ / Yeshua Messiah:
(Ephesians 3:9) Gravitation is the power that holds all these heavenly bodies in their own orbits. They orbit eternally with unerring precision so that man can accurately foretell their location in the heavens hundreds of years in advance, as well as the exact hour, minute and second when eclipses will take place. For thus saith the L-rd that created the heavens; G-d himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the L-rd; and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:18)
Why
did G-d
create the material universes? The answer is: to be inhabited with intelligent, free moral agents, to whom He could reveal Himself, and who would enjoy His infinite blessings and goodness. The earth was created to be inhabited!
Thou art worthy, O L-rd, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
(Revelation 4:11) |

The Person of the Father; G-d; the Superior Divine Person of the eternal G-d-head of the Trinity! (***) He is the Beginning; He Who WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME! He is the Source, He is Light, Life and Love, The creator of the ATONEMENT. The Eternal, Invisible, Father! He is the Creator of the Universe, Galaxies or Space. There was, there is and there shall be no end of His creations! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of G-d, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:3) Also He said, I am the G-d of your father, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac, and the G-d of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at G-d. (Exodus 3:6) We believe in the one true G-d, the Creator of Heaven and earth the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The reverent and
worshipful fear of
the L-rd is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge
[its starting point and its essence]; but
fools despise skillful and G-dly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline. (Proverbs
1:7)

Faith in the existence of G-d!
FAITH
is the only and prerequisite link between
the Creator and
man. Nothing can be received or known of G-d
unless one believes in His existence. Could there be a creation without a creator? To believe in the Creator of the Universe, and the world; The G-d of this creation, is not just a result of cultural conditioning or a result of traditions of men. No, belief is a serious act of faith, that is consciously made by a person. The revelations required to genuinely believe are a gift to man from the Creator Himself!
Mankind possesses an inner sense of right and wrong as well as a
sense of responsibility to keep to what is right and avoid that what is wrong!
To believe in the
existence of the Creator or a personal G-d, is in harmony with all the inputs of mankind's
moral and mental given nature and character! |

For centuries the conjectures of science also were at odds with Genesis 1 concerning the origin and development of Earth and of life on Earth. However, science has progressed beyond these conjectures and now agrees with Genesis 1 in the initial conditions of Earth, the description of subsequent events, and in the order of these events. The probability that Moses, writing more than 3,400 years ago, would have guessed all these details is less than one in trillions. Below is a partial list of other fundamentals of science explained in the Bible:
Conservation of mass and energy
(Ecclesiastes
1:9; 3:14-15).
Water
cycle
(Ecclesiastes 1:7; Is. 55:10).
Gravity
(Job 26:7; Job 38:31-33).
Pleiades and Orion as gravitationally bound star groups
(Job 38:31).
NOTE: All other star
----------------groups
visible to the naked eye are unbound, with the possible exception of the
Hyades.
Effect of emotions on physical health
(Proverbs 16:24; 17:22).
Control of contagious diseases
(Leviticus 13:4546).
Importance
of sanitation to health
(Leviticus; Numbers 19: Deuteronomy. 23:12-13).
Control of
cancer and
heart disease
(Leviticus 7-19).
In the crucible of scientific investigation, the Bible/Scripture has proven invariably to be correct! No other book, ancient or modem, can make this claim; but then, no other book has been written by G-d! (through men)
I laid the foundations of the earth...
Where wast thou when I
laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who
hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line
upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner
stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of G-d
shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if
it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and
thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and
set bars and doors...

Understanding in the heart
The foundations of the earth were laid by G-d, a Divine Holy Person; they weren't the development of an evolving, 'self-existent molecule', or any number of molecules. Job was asked to explain how G-d formed the earth, if Job had understanding. If he couldn't do this, he was a poor critic of God's government. (Job 38:4)
This expression gives the idea of a carpenter using a line to lay out his work. The earth is represented as a building. Plans were laid out in advance, and it was made according to this (Divine) plan. The earth didn't happen by chance; it was constructed according to certain specifications, and the method used proves infinite and personal skill.
An Example of Infinite Perfection...
The idea here is that of an architect planning the size of the earth. This is an example of the infinite perfection of God in creation. The earth rotates on its axis at 1,000 mph. If it were 100 mph, our days and nights would be 10 times longer and the hot sun would likely burn up our vegetation each long day while surviving sprouts would freeze in the long night. Also the earth has been placed the proper distance from the sun to give it the right amount of warmth. If the sun gave half as much more we would roast. Furthermore, the slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, gives us our seasons. If it had not been tilted, vapors from the ocean would move north and south, piling up continents of ice. If our moon were only 50,000 miles away instead of its distance of 221,000 to 253,000 miles, our tides would cover the continents twice daily. If the crust of the earth had been only 10 feet thicker, there would be no oxygen, and thus no animal life could be sustained. Had the ocean been a few feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and therefore no vegetable life could exist. It is evident from these and other facts that there is not one chance in millions or trillions that life on our planet could be a work of itself. There had to be a super-intelligence at work in the creation of all things. (Source: Dake's Annotated Reference Bible © 1963, 1991)
G-D formed the earth on a solid and eternal basis. The earth doesn't rest on a solid foundation like a building, but is suspended and rotates in space, governed by the law of gravitation. ...If Job didn't know these things, how could he be qualified to criticize God and His government? (Job 38:6)
The Father - G-d is and will give
the
immeasurable, incomprehensible light!
He is and will give the
immeasurable, incomprehensible light!
For the perfection is majestic!
He is pure, perfect Holy,
immeasurable mind!
He is life-giving life!
He is a blessedness-giving
Blessed One!
He is knowledge-giving
knowledge!
He is goodness-giving goodness!
He
is merciful and redemption-giving!
He is graceful!
For we know not the ineffable things, and we do not understand what is
immeasurable, except for him who came forth from Him, namely (from) the Father.
For it is He who can tell it to us!
He is indestructible!
For he is the head of all the creation, the universes, Galaxies, the
Heavens, the ---------world, and so much more!
It is far behind our comprehension!
Existing in silence, reposing (and) being prior to everything!
And He (the Father) anointed us with his goodness until we become
perfect, in
Yeshua
Messiah, not
lacking in any goodness, because he had anointed us with the goodness of the
invisible Holy
Spirit!
And it attended Him as He poured
upon it!
It is always a
super-natural testimony when one can say:
There is a G-d!
The heavens declare the glory of G-d; and the firmament sheweth His handly work. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. (Psalms 19:1, 2) It is be foolishness, to say, or to think, that there is no G-d! ...For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with G-d. (1 Corinthians 3:19)
What kind of rule the Moon for Planet Earth? Can Science go align with the Spoken Word of G-d?

To know the very

His Name
is according to His acts. When He judge His
creatures, He is called
Elohim, "Judge"; when He rises up
to do battle against the sinners, He is: "Lord Zebaot", "the Lord of
hosts"; when he is waiting with
longsuffering patience for the improvement of the sinner, His Name is El
Shaddai; when He has
mercy
upon the world, His Name is "Adonai". But
unto the children of Israel He is as: "I

and I am He that is with them" in their
bondage now, and He that shall be with them in
the bondage of the time to come." |

Is "Jehovah" the Name of G-d? |
There is a common belief in modern Christendom that the Divine Name of G-d in the OT is "Jehovah." The most influential group advocating this pronunciation of G-d's name today is the Jehovah's Witnesses. This study is intended to demonstrate that the name "Jehovah" is not, and never was the name of G-d in the OT, but is an accidental, fabricated pronunciation of the Divine Name. Those who came up with this spelling/pronunciation did so from a misunderstanding of the Hebrew “tetragrammaton” "YHVH," as it appears in the OT text. "Some religious scholars suggest that the Name was pronounced "Yahweh," but others do not find this pronunciation particularly persuasive!"
The Hebrew “tetragrammaton”,
YHVH, is the way the Name of G-d appears in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew
language is a consonantal language, possessing no vowels. Vowels were
pronounced, but not written. They were transmitted orally from
generation to generation. This may like a difficult system, and quite
strange to us, but it is not that difficult. Just as you can decipher
that THS S TH WY TH HBRW PPL WRT BCK THN, means "this is the way Hebrew
people wrote back then," so could they easily pronounce words without
vowels.
By about 200 B.C., after
the time of the Exile, and due to superstition, Jews would no longer
pronounce G-d’s name for fear that they
would take it in vain by not saying it properly! Instead of pronouncing
the “tetragrammaton”, they would say
Adonai,
which is the Hebrew word meaning
Lord.
Because of this superstition, no one today knows exactly how it was
pronounced. This was also true of the Masoretic scribes who copied the
Hebrew
Scriptures.
When the Masoretic scribes, in the 9th to 10th
centuries, invented a system of vowels to preserve the pronunciation of
the Hebrew Bible, they also inserted some vowels into the “tetragrammaton”.
Because they too, did not know exactly how to
pronounce G-d’s Name, and did not believe one should attempt to,
they did not try to insert the correct vowels into the “tetragrammaton”.
Instead, they inserted the vowels from the Hebrew word
Adonai,
which are the sounds of the short “a”, long “o”, and
another “a” with the sound of the word awesome. The
insertions of these vowels were not for the purpose of pronunciation,
but to remind the reader to say
Adonai
when they came to G-d’s Name instead of pronouncing G-d’s Name. If it
was to be spelled out, however, it would read "Yehowah" (the vocalic
change to the first vowel is due to the fact that yod, the first
letter of the “tetragrammaton” is a non-gutteral, and thus turns the “a”
sound [compound shewa] to a shortened, short e sound [simple shewa]).
Later on, in the days of
the Renaissance, people were discovering the ancient languages all over
again. The
Hebrew Scriptures
were being learned and read. When people came to the “tetragrammaton”,
they simply pronounced it with the inserted vowels, not realizing that
the vowels did not belong to YHVH, but were
intended as indicators to say
Adonai. As a result, they
pronounced G-d’s Name
as “Yehowah”. The spelling of "Iehovah" entered the English language through William Tyndale’s translation of the Bible completed in 1537. He transliterated the “tetragrammaton” into the English language with the Masoretic vowel markings as had those in the Renaissance. The letter and sound of the English "J" was a later development of the English language, and so this spelling and pronunciation would not change to "Jehovah" until the late 17th century. Since this time many English speakers have pronounced G-d’s Name as "Jehovah"!
So how exactly should we
pronounce the Hebrew
YHVH?
Because of the fact that the vocalic tradition for the pronunciation of
YHVH has not been preserved,
we cannot be absolutely sure about its pronunciation. We can be Unfairly
certain, however. Here is a brief examination of the
Divine
Name of G-d.
"Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei"

Ineffable Name, the Unutterable Name or the Distinctive Name

Because of the fact that the vocalic tradition for the pronunciation of
YHVH has not been preserved,
we cannot be absolutely sure about its pronunciation. We can be Unfairly

singular form, most likely coming from the Hebrew word hayah,
which has the meaning of "to be." In
Exodus 3:14,
when Moses asked G-d for
His Name, G-d said His
name was Ehyeh.
This is the first Person form of hayah, meaning "I am!" YHVH is
the third person form meaning "He is!"
In conclusion, although
it is not necessarily wrong to say G-d’s Name as Jehovah, by no means
can it be claimed that Jehovah is the name of G-d that has only been
restored to us in these recent times. At best Jehovah can only be
claimed to be an acceptable way of pronouncing G-d’s name in the English
language, and at worst it could be said to be a phonetic corruption of
G-d’s name. The probable pronunciation of G-d’s revealed name is YHVH. |

The most important of G-d's Names is the
four-letter Name represented by the Hebrew letters
Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei (YHVH). It
is often referred to as the Ineffable Name, the Unutterable Name or the Distinctive Name.
Linguistically, it is related to the Hebrew root
Hei-Yod-Hei (to
be), and reflects the fact that G-d's existence is eternal. In
Scripture, this Name is used when discussing G-d's relation with human
beings, and when emphasizing his qualities of lovingkindness and mercy.
It is frequently shortened to "Yah" (Yod-Hei), Yahu or Yeho (Yod-Hei-Vav),
especially when used in combination with names or phrases, as in
Yehoshua (Joshua, meaning "the L-rd is my Salvation"), Eliyahu (Elijah,
meaning "my G-d is the L-rd"), and Halleluyah ("praise the L-rd").
The first Name used for G-d in
Scripture
is
Elohim.
In form, the word is a masculine plural of a word that looks feminine in
the singular (Eloha). The same word is used to refer to princes, judges,
other gods, and other powerful beings. This Name is used in
Scripture
when emphasizing G-d's might, His creative power, and His attributes of
justice and rulership. Variations on this Name include El, Eloha, Elohai
(my G-d) and Elohaynu (our G-d). G-d is also known as
El Shaddai. This Name is
usually translated as "G-d
Almighty," however, the derivation of the word "Shaddai" is not
known. According to some views, it is derived from the root meaning "to
heap benefits." According a Midrash, it means, "The One who said 'dai'"
("dai" meaning enough or sufficient) and comes from the fact that when
G-d created the universe, it expanded until He said "DAI!" The name
Shaddai is the one written on the "mezuzah" scroll. Some note that
Shaddai is an acronym of Shomer Daltot Yisrael, Guardian of the Doors of
Israel.
Another significant Name of G-d is
YHVH
Tzva'ot. This Name is
normally translated as "L-rd
of Hosts." The word "tzva'ot" means "hosts" in the sense of a
military grouping or an organized array. The Name refers to G-d's
leadership and sovereignty. Interestingly, this Name is rarely used in
Scripture. It never appears in the Torah. It appears primarily in the
prophetic
books of
Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Haggai, Zechariah and
Malachi, as well as many times in
the
Psalms.

"E-lo-him", the Name that refers to G-d. This Name denotes G-d in His
Attribute of Justice, as Ruler, Lawgiver, and Judge over the world. By
using this Name exclusively in the narrative of Creation
The
Name Elohim refers to
this aspect of G-d's total mastery, for it describes Him as "the Mighty
One Who Wields Authority over the being above & below" (Tur Orach Chaim 5)
and the
Omnipotent One (Shulchan Aruch, Ibid.). The Name Elohim, commentators not that its
numerical valeu equals
that of the nature, indicating that He controls all natural
phenomena.

The
Name Hashem, the G-d
of Mercy, for He had saved Noah from the flood catastrophe, and is also
an indication that Noah's future offerings
would be accepted, since these chapters in
Genesis 6 & 7
dealing with offerings use only the Name "Hashem" (Ramban)
This four-letter Name of Hashem indicates that G-d is timeless and
infinite for
the letters of this {Awesome Holy} Nameare those of the words: "He was",
"He is"; "He will be" The four-letter Name of
HASHEM { } indicates that G-d is timeless and infinite, for
the letters of His {Holy & Awesome} Name are those of the words { } He
was, He is, and He will be. This Name appears in some additions with
vowel points. { } and in others, such as the present edition, without
vowels. In either case, this {Holy & Awesome} Name is never pronounced
as it is spelled. During prayer, or when a blessing is recited, or when
a Torah {Scripture
from first 5 Books of Moses} verse is read, the
Four-letter Name should be pronounced as if it were spelled { } A-do-nai,
the Name that indentifies G-d as the Master of ALL. At other times, it
be pronounced { } Hashem, literally, "the Name"!
Sometimes the Name appears with the vowelization ...
This version of the Name pronounced as if it were spelled
{אלהים}
"E-lo-him", the Name that refers to G-d as the One Who is all-powerful.
When it appears with a prefix { } it is pronounced "La-lo-him. It is
translated
in the Orthodox Jewish Scripture
the Name as
HASHEM / ELOHIM
to indicate that it refers to the aspects inherent in each of
those Names. (Source: The Chumash: The Stone
Edition; pg 33 & Introduction/Pronouncing the Names of G-d) |

We shall love the L-rd our G-d! We shall love the L-rd our G-d with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it. We shall love our neighbor as ourselves. On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets. Therefore, we will go into the entire world and preach the good news (the Gospel) to all creation. We are not ashamed of this good news about Messiah, for it is the power of G-d at work, saving everyone who believes, Jews first, and also non-Jews. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Leviticus 19:18b, Matthew 22:37-40)(Mark 16:15)(Romans 1:16) Those who receive salvation through the blood atonement of Yeshua (Jesus) will also share in the power of His resurrection from the dead and will live forever in the Kingdom of Heaven (Revelation 5:9-10) |
