Chimera?

The term chimera was a reference in mythology to a creature comprised of the characteristics of more than one animal . . .

I remember reading about the possibility of genetically altering some animal DNA with human DNA on the pretext of possibly needed transplants . . . I stepped out of man-made health care many years ago, and none too soon, but this concept is really eerie.

I knew medical science was already using vessels from pigs in replacing valves, etc. which should give most logical folks pause, in consuming pork.  It must be fairly close to human flesh to be used in heart surgery.  Since I don't eat pork and I don't go to doctors, I don't feel this is my issue, but we need to really consider what may transpire if the DNA of animals is engineered with human DNA.

The article below covers a university study of DNA engineering on sheep.  These are animals in our food supply.  What happens when these animals mate and breed?  Will the engineered DNA be dominate?  We've already seen that with vegetables and Monsanto.

We are making the world a very scary, blurry place now that the wisdom of man which was already called foolishness by our Creator, is being funded to actually alter creation.  Creation was called, GOOD, by our Creator.

I cannot imagine what the judgment will be for this kind of arrogance.

A Trend of Health Issues

 I haven't actually taken a survey, but it seems high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, are at an all time high.  I realize I'm going to sound a little jaded with this next statement, but in the case of all three of these issues, there isn't a cure, only a long term symptom management, a.k.a. lifetime prescription.

As I read the statistics and the increase in prescriptions, and I didn't even address anti-anxiety medications, I can't help but notice two things.  One, it seems that all of our information is focused on making people upset or divided or hopeless.  Two, all of the programmed information is surrounded as well as includes pharmaceutical advertisement.  Then, there's the religious nationalism, that seems to keep people upset and angry, while television preachers are telling everyone to have a positive mental attitude.  Sort of reminds me of what Jeremiah was dealing with.

I'm really seeing a direct correlation between the anger that is incited by media and news, the health tests that reveal an " ongoing need" for one of the big pharmaceuticals, and the pressure to "keep the faith" when the guy talking is not walking in the Power!

Now, I certainly cannot make a diagnosis, but I can ask a few questions and I can share an observation.  How many people lived to a ripe old age before political hate mongering was an American pass time?  How many Americans lived with whatever ailed them or didn't before there were all the tests promoting results that required the latest pharmaceutical?  How many people feel "fine" until the test says they aren't?

This religious nationalism that has served to divide over hot button issues without resolution may actually be contributing to the fulfillment of the Words of Y'hshuwah, when He spoke of men's heart's failing them.

I can't imagine anything harder on the human body, than a diet in rebellion of the Creator's Instructions, anger and division of just what the American dream is, while hearing we must speak positive faith and demonstrate unconditional love!

Tzitziyot

The people of YHWH are promised health in obedience to the Commandments:  Exodus 15:26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy G-d, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am YHWH Raphah, [your Healer.]
This was right after the children of Israel left Egypt and before Moses was given the Torah at Mt. Sinai.  It is an everlasting promise for our earthly bodies.

Numbers 15:37-40

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:  And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of YHWH, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: That ye may remember, and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your G-d.   Please stay with me for a minute as we watch the amazing way this woman was able to be healed by reaching out to Y'hshuwah while being Torah observant.  The border of the garment in the Hebrew translated to the hem of the garment in the Greek.  This woman knew Torah.  She knew the importance of keeping the Commandments and statutes for health in this life. Matthew 9:20-22 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Y'hshuwah turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

 This woman with the issue of blood took the hem of Y'hshuwah's garment, never breaking Torah, nor was Messiah unclean for even a moment!  The statutes in Leviticus 15:19-25 were very strict regarding all the things that were not to be touched to remain clean.  Messiah never touched her in her state of uncleanness, and touching the hem of his garment was not disobedience to Torah.  The hem, or border [fringe] of the garment was not something sat upon or laid upon . . .

Leviticus 15:19, 25

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even . . . And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

Zach's great video about tzitziyot and the Scriptural account of this particular situation, I find to be so amazing and inspiring in my own life as a follower of Y'hshuwah and also a servant/child of YHWH.  Not only is wearing tzitziyot, walking in obedience, it is also walking in readiness of service to bring glory to YHWH.
