I’ve been very impressed with Ron Wyatt for a couple of decades. He was a man of integrity to the max, and he and his family discovered some amazing Biblical artifacts and well known landmarks that strangely aren’t being reported by most of mainstream ‘Christianity.’

* * *
Uploaded by MartinRayburn on Jan 6, 2012
Did Ron Wyatt find the actual Ark of the Covenant?
From the Wyatt Museum website:
http://wyattmuseum.com/arkofthecovenant.htm
Ron and his sons, Danny and Ronny, traveled to Israel. From there they drove to the western shore of the Gulf of Aqaba for scuba diving in search of chariot parts in the Red Sea.
Ron became sun-burned and was forced to discontinue his diving in the Red Sea.
While waiting for his return flight to the United States, Ron was walking along an ancient stone quarry, known to some as “the Calvary Escarpment.” As he was walking, he began conversing with a local authority about Roman antiquities. At one point, they stopped walking, and Ron’s left hand pointed to a site being used as a trash dump and he stated, “That’s Jeremiah’s Grotto and the Ark of the Covenant is in there.”
Even though these words had come from his own mouth and his own hand had pointed, he had not consciously done or said these things. In fact, it was the first time he had ever thought about excavating for the Ark.
The man with him, quite out of character, also reacted strangely. He said, “That’s wonderful! We want you to excavate, and we’ll furnish your permits, put you up in a place to stay and even furnish your meals!”
At that time Ron declined the man’s offer until he could see if there was any reason to believe the Ark could be in that location.
Ron returned home and began some serious research and study.
Research:
Why Would the Ark Be in That Location?
In searching the Bible, Ron found the last mention in the Bible of the Ark’s location in Jerusalem about the year 621 BC, just 35 years before the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by Nebuchadnezzar.
This indicated that the Ark disappeared from the Divine record sometime between 621 BC and 586 BC. Since the temple was completely destroyed, there is no doubt that it was NOT there after that time.
Ron found in 2 Kings 24:13, 2Kings 25:13-18, and Jeremiah 52:17-23, a very detailed account of the items taken to Babylon from the “king’s house” and from the “house of the Lord”- it even mentioned small items like “spoons”, etc. But the Ark isn’t mentioned. Neither is it mentioned in the lists of things brought back from Babylon in the book of Ezra.
We are told in Jeremiah 28:3 that everything taken to Babylon from the “house of the Lord” would be returned, and since the Ark wasn’t among the returned items, this indicates that it was never taken there.
Shishak and Sennacherib also took items from the “house of the Lord” but they did not include the Ark of the Covenant.
Ron’s Theory:
The Ark of the Covenant was hidden just prior to the destruction of the temple when the city was surrounded by the Babylonian siege wall.
The Ark of the Covenant was hidden somewhere within the confines of the city wall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian siege wall.
The entire city of Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians, so the Ark could have only escaped destruction or captivity by not being anywhere in the city.
The site Ron had pointed to was, he believed, outside of the ancient city wall and within the siege wall.
Two non-Biblical sources, 2 Maccabees and Parilipomena of Jeremiah, stated that the sacred objects from the temple were hidden by Jeremiah before the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.
Ron’s conclusion:
It was supposition based on study, but still only supposition. Yet, it was enough to base a decision on. He decided to go ahead with the excavation.

In 2000, “The Urban Elephant” brought viewers the touching story of Shirley and Jenny, two crippled elephants reunited at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee after a 22-year separation. The bonding was immediate, intense and unforgettable between the two former circus elephants. But long after the cameras were turned off, the wondrous moments would continue.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXKxgLvIS6Y]Nature (PBS) – Shirley the Elephant (Part 2)
I shared this on my Facebook page, recently.
I attended 33 of the 36 Rodney Howard-Browne meetings in 1992 in Anchorage, Alaska, in which violinist, Maurice Sklar played with great anointing.
One time, during group worship, WE COULD HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING. The keyboardist took his hands off of the keyboard to make sure it wasn’t his instrument.
The singing was the most beautiful and compelling I have ever heard — transcendent — a sound having so much upward energy that I would never tire of.
It sounded like it was coming from above the worship team, but in front of the stage [not anywhere near the loudspeakers].
Maurice and I were among the many (including my mom — so timely because Dad had recently died) who were GREATLY touched by the Holy Spirit during those 36 meetings, of which I attended 33.
One time, I wanted to talk to Maurice about microphones, but he was so touched by God that he had more important things on his mind.
Thank you, Maurice, Rodney and Anchorage Christian Center (now called City Church) — and Jesus!!!
May we make a home for God so He can dwell among us in fullness of joy and power!
If we build it He will come!

Ron Wyatt is one of my favorite guys — an amazing guy whose discoveries aren’t well known. Truly great people seem to be put down these days. His discoveries: http://www.wyattmuseum.com
He’s found Noah’s Ark (though they say it hasn’t been found), Red Sea crossing, Sodom & Gomorah, Mt. Sinai, and the Ark of the Covenant by following the Bible text literally, being led by the Holy Spirit and through a lot of hard work and common sense.
He also believed in living holy. This will knock your socks off!

Uploaded by BASICSeries on Jun 9, 2010
We filmed in a 20’x50′ tank of water filled with 300,000 gallons
to help illustrate the concept of fearing God.
In the day when most people are in The Matrix (walking backwards, thinking they’re actually walking forwards), this may be our reality once we break out of the trance — shining as bright lights in this ever darkening world.
I often think of it as swimming upstream, which I had a dream about once. The people were in the river flowing by me as I was cruising upstream, no problem. In the dream it was easy, practically effortless. But I think effortlessness can only happen when we are 100.00% determined walk fully in Love, abiding 100.00% in the Vine (John 15) — no ifs ands or buts all in Jesus — His ways all my days.
May we be ONE in Him (John 17). Then it will really be a piece of cake.
And many will do 180s to join us in walking forward, together with us, grounded in Love.
“The joy of the Lord is our strength.”
“Don’t be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
“Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 thoughts in Christ Jesus.”
ONE can happen!

Here’s a fun and creative idea that requires brains rather than a big budget: using an ordinary video-capable camera and some basic editing software, you can show a person walking forward through a world that’s traveling backward. For even crazier examples of this same technique, check out the music videos for The Scientist by Coldplay, Typical by Mutemath, and Drop by The Pharcyde.

SIDENOTE: I love this!!! However, I personally see these Hebrew transliterations as distracting. They’re often red flags to the Hebrew roots movement, which is often dangerous (works of the Old Covenant law instead of being led by the Holy Spirit, God Himself, directly).

Who are we?
-
Are we a people without a cause? NO
-
Are we followers of man-made religions or observers of heathen holidays? NO
-
Are we rebels against our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? NO
Then who are we?
- Are we a people without a future? NO
- Are we a people without a Leader? NO
Then who are we?
We are the ONES denying ourselves and following our Almighty Shepherd. We are the ONES who do NOT belong to this wicked world. We are the little lambs of God who forgive and love both our friends and foes. We are spiritually reborn into Heaven.
We are the echoing VOICE of truth. We are both physically and spiritually united in our cause. We are the Warriors of Love. We are the Annointed Eagles. We are the humble and meek, we never take revenge ourselves upon our foes. We are the people of the future.
We are the enemies of the devil and his minions. We are the ONES who would rather die physical death than to be enslaved by the wicked.
We are the ONES who acknowledge the Call from the Holy Spirit ~ The Ruach haKodesh. We are the ONES who seek as many people as possible to unite in our wonderful journey. We are the ONES who goes through hardship and suffering for our Heavenly Father’s Love. We are the bringers of GOD’s WORD. We are the ONES who are called to warn the people of this world of the coming false peace.
We REFUSE to be silented. We WILL RISE UP! Act UP! Speak UP! Tell the devil to Shut UP! In the Name of Yahushua! Even if the whole world is against us, we have the majority on our side!
The very nature that is controlled by God Almighty will rage against the wicked.
Who are we?
We are the children of Yahuveh and we will NEVER be silented
The text moves a bit fast, and we don’t get to see God run, but great audio and visuals!

The Prodigal Son is Jesus’ teaching on salvation. It is possible to pass from spiritual life to spiritual death according to what the Lord taught in Luke 15. Sin can bring loss of salvation. God wants the backsliders to repent and come to salvation again.

When God Ran
Written by: Benny Hester & John Parenti
Almighty God,
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock,
Omnipotent powerful
Awesome Lord,
Victorious Warrior
Commanding King of Kings
Mighty Conquerer,
And the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when
He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said “My son’s come home again”.
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said “Son, do you know I still love you?”
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home,
I knew I’d broken His heart …

Animation Showing How the Canon 10D and 24-85mm Lens are Assembled
This animation was created by students of the Engineering 128: Advanced Engineering Design Graphics course at UC Berkeley during the Spring 2008 semester. The first part shows a Canon 10D DSLR exploding into its individual parts, and then those parts coming together again to slowly rebuild the camera, while the second part does the same for a Canon 24-85mm lens. Pretty…impressive considering that it’s for an undergraduate course.

Select quotes from: goodreads.com…
“But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through”
— Francis Chan
“The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.”
— Francis Chan
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Lukewarm living and claiming Christ’s name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. You’ve probably heard the expression ‘I believe in God, just not organized religion’. I don’t think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Can you worship a God who isn’t obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, *Am I doing this right?* or *Did I serve enough this week?* When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks without guilt, worry or fear. As long as you are running, you’re safe.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Both worry and stress reek of arrogance.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“From start to finish, this movie is obviously about God. He is the main character. How is is possible that we live as though it is about us?”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a ‘Christian’ without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“When I am consumed by my problems-stressed out about my life, my family, and my job-I actually convey the belief that I think the circumstances are more important than God’s command to always rejoice.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“…when we love God, we naturally run to Him-frequently and zealously. Jesus didn’t command that we have a regular time with Him each day. Rather, He tells us to ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ He called this the ‘first and greatest commandment’ (Matt. 22:37-38). The results are intimate prayer and study of His Word. Our motivation changes from guilt to love.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Are we in love with God or just His stuff?”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“We don’t get to decide who God is.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“This book is written for those who want more Jesus. It is for those who are bored with what American Christianity offers. It is for those who don’t want to plateau, those who would rather die before their convictions do.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“We are a culture that relies on technology over community, a society in which spoken and written words are cheap, easy to come by, and excessive. Our culture says anything goes; fear of God is almost unheard of. We are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Lukewarm people love others but do not seek to love others as much as they love themselves.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“God’s art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“No worship is better than apathetic worship.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in situations where we are safe ‘even if there is no God.’ But if we truly desire to please God, we cannot live that way.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“…our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
“The concept of downsizing so that others might upgrade is biblical, beautiful…and nearly unheard of. We either close the gap or don’t take the words of the Bible literally.”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
”Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?”
— Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)

Francis Chan left his 1600 member church to reassess. “There’s a LACK OF PEACE in so many people … WE PRETEND.” “There is this NARROW ROAD … FEW will find it.” “Let’s go back to what THE TRUTH has always been…and has NEVER BEEN POPULAR.”

“I Believe”
by Mahalia Jackson
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray,
someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that Someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

“The Impossible Dream”
(music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion)
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
Precarious Climb[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5JZnwLVwaE]Rhydian – The Impossible Dream
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Rhydian – The Prayer
* * *
The Prayer :
(Carol Bayer Sager and David Foster)
I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place; guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
I pray we ‘ll find your light, and hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where you are
Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our day
Help us find a place; guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that’s broken will he mended
And we’ll remember we are all God’s children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky
We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
Who needs to find a place; guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Needs to find a place; guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

The night sky may be a lot starrier than we thought.
A study suggests the universe could have triple the number of stars scientists previously calculated. For those of you counting at home, the new estimate is 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That’s 300 sextillion.
The study questions a key assumption that astronomers often use: that most galaxies have the same properties as our Milky Way. And that’s creating a bit of a stink among astronomers who want a more orderly cosmos.
It’s one of two studies being published online Wednesday in the journal Nature that focus on red dwarf stars, the most common stars in the universe. The study that offers the new estimate on stars is led by a Yale University astronomer. He calculates that there are far more red dwarfs than previously thought, and that inflates the total star count.
A second study led by a Harvard University scientist focuses on a distant “super Earth” planet and sees clues to the content of its atmosphere — the first of this kind of data for this size planet. It orbits a red dwarf.

For the invisible things of him
since the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being perceived through the things that are made,
even his everlasting power and divinity;
that they may be without excuse.
– Romans 1:20

God is SO AWESOME!

God’s order may be observed
in the hatching of eggs.
For example :
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days ;
– The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days ;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)
The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.
God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God ordered that this animal would have a huge body, and for this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.
The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!
God’s wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of fruit, vegetable, and grain seed sections and segments, as well as in the number of seeds/grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.
The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold – all even numbers.
God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!
Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence.
Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is fulfilled.
If I fail,
I try again,
and again,
and again.

Nick Vujicic and his attitude serve as a great examples of the celebration of life over limitations.
The human spirit can handle much more than we realize.
“I LOVE LIVING LIFE. I AM HAPPY.”
—————————————-————————
Think you’ve got it bad?
Need some encouragement?
Fallen down?
Can’t find the STRENGTH to get back up?
Watch this video. It will help. Then share it with others.
—————————————-————————
“If I fail, I try again, and again, and again…”
If YOU fail, are YOU going to try again?
It matters how you’re going to FINISH…
Are you going to finish STRONG?
We are put in situations to build our character… not destroy us.
The tensions in our life are there to strengthen our convictions… not to run over us.
—————————————-————————
Nick is thankful for what he HAS.
He’s not bitter for what he does NOT have.
I have never met a bitter person who was thankful.
I have never met a thankful person who was bitter.
In life you have a choice: Bitter or BETTER?

“It’s an almost unimaginable amount of energy.
If the sun’s power output for a single second could be harnessed,
it would satisfy the World’s energy demands for the next million years!”
Transcribed by Jeff Fenske from:
The Sun (2009), broadcast on the Science Channel
• • • •
So how many suns are in the Universe?
We know from the Hubble Deep Field experiments
that the Universe contains at least 200 billion galaxies!
And these galaxies would contain about 100 billion stars each!
And the Sun is just an average sized star.
Many are enormous in comparison to our Sun!
So 200 billion x 100 billion = ????????????????
