NAMES? – PATTERNS? – NUMBERS?

NAMES? – PATTERNS? – NUMBERS? 

In a previous post

https://www.minimannamoments.com/hubble-cross-ing-the-great-divide/

we saw how human DNA is connected to the universe and how 31,000,000 light years away appears the image of the agent of our salvation!

Cross in The Centre of the Whirlpool Galaxy.

The Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of the center of the Whirlpool galaxy, M51, and it looks like this:

 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” (Psalm 19:1)

God’s ‘fingerprints’ are everywhere…

 

Ps 139:7- 8

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there

Apparently every cell in our body is controlled by DNA which is genetic information that carries the characteristics of living things.

Just another example of God’s fingerprint in creation.


Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created. Rev.4:11

Researchers have discovered a sequence of numbers that is always repeated in DNA.

lt is like a signature of our Heavenly Father.

The Signature of the Architect can be found just beneath the surface of virtually everything, including but not limited to such things as quantum mechanics; particle physics; string theory; celestial dynamics; chemistry and even biology.

One researcher, a Dr. Rubinstein, contends that he has found the gematria of the Tetragrammaton in human DNA. Other authorities have tried to verify the authenticity of the assertion and are not at all satisfied with the explanation.  

Dr. Rubinstein was a researcher who says he found a unique pattern that forms breaks in the amino acid sequence between the bridges.

This posts explanation may be somewhat lacking, however he claims the first break is at an interval of 10,

the second at 5,

the third at 6 and

the fourth at 5.

The pattern then repeats itself all the way through the strand.

Some may immediately recognize these numbers.

They happen to be the number value of each letter

in the Tetragrammaton

(yud-hey-vav-hey) in sequence.

The yud has a gematria of 10.

The heh has a gematria of 5.

The vav has a gematria of 6 and

the final heh, of course, is another 5.

If true, this would be highly significant.

If anyone is interested videos can be found on youtube where Dr. Rubinstein explains: Video 1 in Hebrew (Youtube)

A counter argument is presented here: Kofer

The reader can make up their own mind

and take time to do their own research,

however it makes one pause for thought! 

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid

is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions.

DNA sequencing is a laboratory technique used to determine the exact sequence of bases (A, C, G, and T) in a DNA molecule.

DNA is formed from 2 parts.

1 part from each parent and

the DNA has connections on all of it – just like bridges.

There is a repeating pattern in all of it.

A sequence of the numbers:

10 – 5 – 6 – 5.

We have seen in previous post how each Hebrew each letter is equivalent to a number in the alef bet (alfabet).

In Old Testament the name of God is written with 4 letters

YHWH

If we would speak or write the name of the creator as a sequence the result is truly amazing… because

10 5 6 5

in the value of Hebrew letters –

is the name of the creator of the universe

and it is what unites both parts of our DNA cells!

“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:17)

WOW!

His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.” (Romans 1:20)

Ps. 136:19

Your eyes saw my unformed substance, formless, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before and planned…

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. –Psalm 139:13-14

 

In

https://www.minimannamoments.com/hubble-cross-ing-the-great-divide/

 

we also discovered there’s a protein inside our body called

Laminin.

Laminin has an extremely vital role in our bodies.

So vital, that without it, we could literally cease to exist. What is it exactly that makes Laminin so special?

It is a cell adhesion molecule that is organized into a specific structure and it dictates what job the cell performs in the body.

In other words, it literally holds all the cell membranes in your body together. 

It is the glue of the human body.

We could say that as a cell adhesion molecule –

it’s the rebar of the human body.

It holds us together just like God does, and the shape is incredible. Yet another amazing example of God’s fingerprint in creation!

Does a Planetary Alignment show Messiah on the cross?

 April 3, 33 AD,

is the day commonly viewed as that of Yeshua/Jesus’ actual crucifixion.

Apparently on that day, the planets Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Earth and Venus aligned to form what looks like someone on a cross with the head, the hands spread out and the legs together in accurate positioning, rotation and on a galactic scale.

Indeed, even Saturn’s rings can be viewed as representing

the halo or crown of thorns

Because of computer programs and their algorithm abilities,
we get to look back in time.

This alignment even appeared previously in the year 4 B.C., regarded by some scholars as the year of Yeshua/Jesus’ birth.

This same alignment appears to have occurred only six times between the year 0 and 2000 A.D., equivalent to once every 333 years!

Even the letters in the planets’ name look like this:
J-upiter ~ E-arth ~ Saturn ~ U-ranus ~ Venu-S

This is not Astrology its Astronomy and Messiah said there would be signs in the sun moon and stars.

We know these are not just ‘coincidences’!!

Does DNA reveal the Name of The Creator?

YHWH is used almost 7,000 times throughout the Bible as

the only and unique name

of the Mighty One of Israel.

This Name is 4 Hebrew letters YHWH.

If we compare this four-lettered name YHWH to the four elements: hydrogen,

nitrogen,

oxygen and

carbon

that make up human DNA –

we discover an ancient secret of creation.

Bereshit/B’resheet

(בְּרֵאשִׁית‎):

In [the] beginning [of something]

By converting elements to letters,

based upon their matching values of atomic mass,

hydrogen becomes the Hebrew letter Yod (Y),

nitrogen becomes the letter Hey (H),

oxygen becomes the letter Wav (W), and

carbon becomes Gimel (G). 

YHWG!

Substituting modern elements for the ancient letters,

it is clear that although we share in the first three letters representing ¾ or 75% of our Creator’s name (YHWG!),

The presence of YHWH is

the invisible and intangible form

of the three gases

hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen,

The last letter of our name (G) is carbon:

This is the material or substance that gives us the:

color, taste, texture, and sounds of our body.

The one letter that sets us apart from YHWH 

is also the element that makes us real or physical in our world.

If we substitute these modern elements for all four letters of the ancient name,

YHWH

we see an unexpected result.

Replacing the final H in YHWH 

with its chemical equivalent of nitrogen, 

The name

YHWH

becomes the elements:

hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen

(HNON) 

all are colorless, odorless, and invisible gases!

We understand God is spirit from the scriptures

and spirit is all of these …

In other words,

replacing 100 percent of YHWH’s personal name

with the elements of this world

creates a substance that is an intangible,

yet very real form of creation!

Could this be why we are YHWG,

because we will never be equal to YHWH?

Additionally, the first chapters of Genesis relate that it is in a nonphysical form (invisible) that the Creator was present during the time of creation. (Genesis 1:2).

It was the spirit of YHWH that first moved over the face of the earth. 

וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃

the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water—

The Creator has put His own unique stamp upon every person.

This stamp is actually

His name as revealed to Moses thousands of years ago. 

Exodus 3 13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”[a][b] And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘The Lord,[c] the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’: this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.

In Deuteronomy

there is also a very interesting occurrence

in the first 5 verses.

There is a repeating pattern of Hebrew letters

that spells out the word…

Torah

in a fixed sequence.

תּוֹרָה‎

(Tav Vav Reysh Hey)

Torah

Hebrew, the Five Books of Moses, or Torah,

(Also known as the Chumash – KHUM-ush or khoo-MAHSH.)

תּוֹרָה‎

(Tav Vav Reysh Hey)

Torah

Starting with the Hebrew letter heh ה

that is the last letter of Mosheh’s/Moses name,

and then counting 48 letters,

we see the Hebrew letter

reysh ר.

48 more letters and we see the Hebrew letter

Vav ו

and then

48 more letters and we see the Hebrew letter

Tav ת.

That is, we see Torah spelled backwards.

..interesting because it appears in a similar pattern at the beginning of every one of the 5 books of Torah also.

In Genesis 1:1-5 there is a repeating pattern of the word

Torah,

spelled forwards,

with each letter forming the word spaced exactly

49 letters apart.

Starting with the final Hebrew letter of the word

in the beginning (Bereshith/Beresheet – Genesis),

and then counting every 49th letter, again we see the word Torah.

The same thing happens in Exodus 1:1-6;

starting with the final letter of the 2nd word (shemot)

in the opening phrase these are the names,

we see the Hebrew letter Tav.

Then counting precisely 49 letters,

we see a Vav;

then 49 more letters and

we see a reysh,

and then 49 more letters and

we see a heh, which again forms the word

Torah.

In Leviticus it is a little different.

In Leviticus, the priestly book,

we see the divine name

YHVH

spelled out with the letters

yud-hey-vav-hey ‘הוה

spaced precisely 7 letters apart.

Beginning with the yud in the first word of Leviticus

and he summoned, (and the Lord called to Moses)

and then counting

every 7th letter,

we see God’s name

(Yehoveh) YHVH

once again.

In Numbers, as in Deuteronomy, the word

Torah

is spelled backwards in an exact sequence.

Beginning with the first occurrence of the word

Moses in Numbers,

we take the

heh (the last letter of Moses….Mosheh’s….name)

and then count 49 letters

and we see a reysh,

49 more letters

and we see a Vav,

49 more letters and we see a Tav.

Torah spelled in reverse.

 

Then there is yet another pattern; beginning

in Genesis we have Torah spelled forwards,

in Exodus Torah spelled forwards,

in Leviticus we have God’s name Yehoveh,

then

in Numbers Torah spelled backwards and finally

in Deuteronomy Torah spelled backwards.

The 49-letter spacing is key because it is 7 X 7

that being the divine number of God, and the fact that 7 is the spacing of the letters in God’s name in Leviticus is also quite amazing.

However the question may be asked:

why is the spacing of the letters of the word

Torah

in Deuteronomy 48, one less than 49?

Could the answer be that the book of Deuteronomy is different than the first 4 books only because this is a sermon of Moses??

The first 4 books are more direct oracles from God prefaced with words like, ‘And, the Lord said’.

Deuteronomy is different because this is about Moses saying….

Although Moses’ is the Fathers’ Mediator and speaks for God;

he is not God;

so the importance of what Moses’ Torah

(Moses instructions) is,

in comparison to the importance of what God’s Torah

(God’s instructions), is less; and therefore is it possible this is shown in the text as one less?

What is presented here is seemingly not a mathematical anomaly or coincidence.

(No such word as coincidence in the Hebrew vocabulary – Hebrew thought believes all things are purposed.)

So it’s not an accident;

God does not ever make mistakes –

that is a human trait.

From this we have to agree that it was intentionally placed there!!

 

Truly He speaks TRUTH when He said

In that day you will know that

I am in the Father,

and

you in me

and

I in you…..

Indeed closer than our breath..

in our very DNA!

….teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, behold, I am with you always even unto the end of the age. Amen.

KJV. Matt 28:20.

Hubble CROSS-ing The Great Divide

Hubble Sees aCROSS The Event Horizon Into The SingularityWe’re going on a stunning journey, surveying all the wonders He has created.  Thanks to the Hubble telescope, we can ‘virtually’, travel millions of light years from here, to see what a distant black hole has in common with our own DNA

Above the structure of a black hole.

An earlier mmm post asked us if we felt small yet, and showed just how BIG our Heavenly Father is.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/dare-feel-small/

Its something that we should remind ourselves of on a regular basis; as it keeps everything in our lives in its correct perspective. Because…

whatever the problem is and how huge it seems, it will pale in comparison to what is out there in the heavens where God is.

Ps 33:13-14 The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of His habitation He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

Our situations will not seem so insurmountable after we look at these pictures and we will realize that God is BIG enough to handle anything and that we can overcome all obstacles together.

We looked at the relative size of the universe and our solar system,the Milky Way galaxy and at our place within it.

The pictures below are to scale! and YES the big yellow one is our sun, our star. The sun is 93 million miles from earth, it takes 499 seconds, (about 8 mins) for light to reach us.

and if we think that is BIG just look at this…

and Betelgeuse is small compared to Antares and Antares is tiny compared to VV Cephei!Betelgeuse can be located in the night sky NNW of Orion’s Belt As earth turns at night a long exposure camera records the tracks of the stars in the heavens above.

WOW! HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD

God cannot be contained. He is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, everywhere all at once. Not constrained by time or location there are no limitations for Him. He is not bound by our three-dimensional parameters or our five senses.He is pure spirit, pure life, pure light, pure love, purity itself… manifested as HOLINESS… (Kadosh in Hebrew).A Holy, perfect, infinitesimal being, comprising spirit and light, beyond our finite understanding.

In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1John1:5

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Rev 21:23

We attempt to quantify His attributes and character and draw some conclusions from His words about Himself. Our human senses, abilities and descriptions are too incomplete and will never do Him justice. He exists outside of our known 3 dimensions of length, breadth and height, (4 if you include dimension of time and 5 if we add the dimension of the spiritual realm). Mathematicians, scientists and physicists project their ideas and question everything; theorizing that there may possibly be as many as 11 dimensional layers, realms and parallel dimensions.

Col 1 :15-17 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.From the vast universe to the feathers on this beautiful bird. Picture sent to us by M.E.

The fabric of space and time is still an unknown, (to us). However there is One who does know because He created it all. He is ‘THE‘ math genius, scientist, engineer, physicist and IT technician and everything else, all rolled into one.

We know that the closer you get to traveling at the speed of light, everything slows down. Then at the speed of light.. time literally stands still. If God IS LIGHT, then by definition, He exists at the speed of light!

God exists at the speed of light where time stands still and He calls it Eternity, we call it Heaven!

Mass or weight of any object increases exponentially the faster it moves and the scriptures declare, the exceeding and eternal weight of glory or light of His presence, His Shekinah. 2 Cor 4:17He has all the answers and one day we will too but for now, our man-made telescopes and microscopes reveal a partial view.1 Cor. 13:12  For now we see through a glassdarkly.

They give us a minuscule window into some of the most astonishing details that God has placed within His creation. There is nowhere beyond His reach.

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Ps 139:8

He stretched out the heavens and named the stars

Is 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Is. 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Jer. 10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

Within the known universe and also within our own bodies – heaven is within us. Maybe we can add another dimension and layer of understanding to ‘the kingdom of God being within us’??

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21 KJV

 Are the building blocks of our very existence planted deep within our DNA, having its source deep in the universe that God created?

Ps 33:6-9 By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the BREATH OF HIS MOUTH. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: He layeth up the depth in storehouses.  Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.  For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.So then are we made of stars too? For the same God who breathed out stars at the moment of Genesis creation; also breathed into our forefathers the very same breath of His Eternal Essence.

Think of it …

We serve the God who breathed out stars when He spoke.

Stars are in His mouth. The breath of God is filled with stars and galaxies. When God breathes, He breathes out LIFE and when He breathed life into Adam, He breathed into him the stuff of stars.

Ps 139:13-14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

This is what our physical bodies are made up of:

Eternity is surely within our hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end.

He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end

He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end. AMP

We need to remember within the immense vastness of untold galaxies and the myriad of distant universes; He sees every one of us and knows our down sitting and up rising. Ps 139:2

May these facts and pictures lift our spirits fuel our faith and remind us that nothing is impossible for him. Matt 19:26Nothing is too big to overwhelm Him and nothing is too small for him to ignore and not be concerned with Ps 139:11

Every hair on our head is numbered (Luke 12:7), in the same way, every star is counted Ps 147:4.

God is BIG and each of us, the apple of His eye (Ps. 17:8) He loves us with an everlasting love.(Jer. 31:3)

 Ps 33:6-9. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.  Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.  For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

We are inside the small red circle on the one arm of the spiral of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.

This is only a small part of the galaxy that we see and call the milky way.  close up of lower section of previous photoIf we look at the other nine planets in our solar system around our star, the Sun, this is how BIG the sun is. However to get a better understanding of the size not only of our star at the enormity of the god with love and serve, here are some other stars /suns just a few light years from here!if you look up at the night sky, here it is, a tiny dot! Zooming in with the help of Hubble…

It’s the Whirlpool GalaxyHubble sends back jaw dropping imagesas the Whirlpool Galaxy is
seen sitting perpendicular to earth 31 million light years away

Some enLIGHTening facts about the Whirlpool galaxy

As Our Heavenly Father spoke and said ‘Light Be’, ‘Yhee Or’. Light came out of the Creators mouth traveling at 186,000 miles per second.

This will make your head spin:

How far light travels in 1 year = 1 light year

and 1 light year is = to 5.88 trillion miles!

If we wanted to get to the Whirlpool galaxy we need to multiply 31 million x 5.88 trillion miles! Or travel at 186,000 miles per second for 31 million years.

The Whirlpool galaxy contains 3,000 billion stars and is one of hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the known universe!

Now for the really incredible facts! 

The Whirlpool Galaxy also called Galaxy M51At its center Hubble found a black hole (four-frame comparison) Hubble Space Telescope provides a detailed look at the core of the giant spiral galaxy M51. These images, taken at different wavelengths of light, reveal complex structure and detail in the galaxy’s core, which is thought to hide a massive black hole.Hubble.org sent back THIS IMAGE of the center of the black hole in Whirlpool galaxy!

WOW! 31,000,000 light years away is the image of the agent of our salvation!

Furthermore…

WE ARE EACH PERSONALLY MARKED BY MAJESTY.

Our DNA is 6 feet long contains 3 billion parts, enough to go to moon and back.

It would take 96 years to read the description contained in the DNA of each individual. We are built from one cell and everyone is unique.

Ps 139:13-14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

16 cells at 3 days old

In our DNA, scientists have found a cell adhesion protein molecule located in the ‘extracellular matrix’, These are the sheets of protein that form the substate of all internal organs and is also called the ‘basement membrane’.

They called the cell adhesion protein LAMININ.

Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together.

Why is this important?

Don’t be concerned with the scientific language. Simply see what Laminin looks like under a powerful electron microscope.

Laminin holds everything together,

as a cell adhesion molecule it’s the rebar of the human body.

There are literally millions of crosses holding us together and preventing us from falling apart! WOW!! ONLY OUR CREATOR Father could have designed us to be held together by the crosses in our DNA and at the same time placed a cross millions of light years way off in His universe.

Now how big was that problem?

Know this for certain, the same Heavenly Father who planned all this, has a plan for us and will bring the answers to our problems and needs.People travel all around the world to wonder at the elevation of the mountains to gasp at the height of the huge waves of the sea and gaze upon the vast open oceans with shoreless horizons. They marvel at the long and winding courses of the rivers and their secret sources from inner earth. Stare in wonder at the beauty of flora and fauna and all living creatures in their manifold splendor. They are speechless at the vast compass of the circular motions of the stars in the heavens… BUT they pass by themselves, and don’t even notice the complexity and wonder of the body, in which we can experience all that our senses are continually feeding to our brain.

In reality, we all see God, every day. We simply fail to recognize Him, as He is looking back at us from His creation, in which we live.The intricacies of our humanity, we are His creation, formed from the elements of the ground upon which we walk.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made knit together in the womb of the morning, in love, mercy and grace.

Jeremiah writes that He knew us before we were fully formed.He made peace with the blood of His cross, He is the star breather, the sin bearer amongst all His other attributes AND HE IS THE ONE WHO LOVES AND CARES FOR EACH ONE OF US.THANK YOU FATHER IN JESUS NAME!

TODA AVINU YESHUA HA MASHIACH. HASHEM

Keeping It All Bottled Up – Part 2

God places all the tears we have wept in a special place…  

In a bottle and a book. (Psalm 56:8)

Every tear that we have shed has been saved up.

The ancients who lived in David’s time, had a practice of putting tears which were shed for someone who had died, into a little bottle called lacrymatories.

(lah-krim-ah-torrie)And when they buried their deceased loved one they would place these lacrymatories or ‘bottles of tears’ inside the tomb. The ancients believed this practice actually helped begin the healing process of losing a loved one.

Archeologists who have unearthed ancient graves, commonly come across these ‘tear bottles’ inside the tomb, indicating it was widely practiced in ancient times.This noun Lachrymatory, pronounced læ-‘kree-mê-tor-ee, (also the root of our word crematory).

It comes down through the ages by way of the Latin word ‘dacrima,’ which shares ties with the Greek term dakry for tear, a distant relation to Old High German zahar also meaning ‘tear’, which fashioned the modern German Zähre for ‘tear’, and Old English tæhher which is nowadays, ‘tear.’

These little bottles were made of glass, pottery, agate, sardonyx, or hard baked clay.

The word here rendered ‘bottle’ means a bottle made of skin, such as was used in the East; but it can also mean a bottle of any kind.

Our tears are precious to the Lord, and He is aware of each tear we shed.

Most of our emotions are connected in some way to our crying liquid tears as well as to the physical cavity of the eye itself helping it to stay moist so we can see.There are 3 types of physical tears produced by our bodies:

First the basal variety, which are made as a form of lubrication and protection for your eyes.

These are constantly secreted in tiny quantities (about one gram over a 24-hour period) and coat our eyes when we blink, yawn or water from a dry climate.

This is what a basal tear looks like under a microscope(Above watering eyes in a micro climate)(Above: yawning from exhaustion tears)

There are biological and physiological components that initiate tears from the tear duct, for the purpose of cleansing and washing the eye.It’s a built in automatic window wash!

Second type we produce are reflex tears.(Above: Tears in response to cutting up onions.)

These are also for protection and are released to help wash away particles in response to irritants, such as wind, dust, smoke, cutting onions or that wayward eyelash. (Greater magnification of above.)

The third type of tears – emotional tears.
These tears contain more protein-based hormones than basal or reflex tears. Our tears, no matter what the form, are a combination of salt water, oils, antibodies, and enzymes.Studies have revealed the scientific basis of tears, and show how weeping and mourning tie into the deepest regions of our brains. The seat of the Soul is also believed to be in the same area of the brain.

Tears are intrinsically connected to emotion. There is a whole process that we go through starting at the time of tearing up, yet each one looks vastly different when examined under a microscope.(Above: tears from laughing until we are crying.)Laugh till we cry,frustration,anger,sadnessand griefloneliness

– Seems like every one of the above list could evoke a tearful reaction…

(Above: tears of ending and beginning.)Not all tears are alike; and each person’s tears are unique to them, just as our DNA, fingerprints and retina scan are.(Above: tears of elation at a liminal moment.)

Tears cover the totality of all of our lifes’ experiences

Does a tear of grief look any different from a tear of joy?

Yes!

Each tear is different: when you cry based on the underlying emotion it produces different chemicals which show up in the tear drop. (Above: tears of change.)

Each tear contains the emotion and the pain and hurt caused by an outside influence often through words or actions of others or a physical trauma to the body.
(Reference: Joseph Strondberg.   Emotional Components of the Tear.)

 Interesting Note: The work of the late Dr. Masaru Emoto, a visionary researcher from Japan, studied the impact of human consciousness on water and its crystalline order.Water that was imprinted by love, gratitude, and appreciation responded by the development of complex beauty,

and

water that was mistreated by negative intentions became disordered and lost its magnificent patterning.

Perhaps something similar occurs in our tears?…It’s known, for instance, that tears contain unique substances depending on their cause.If that is the case for water outside a physical body, how much more could the water that is part of us be affected?

Each human body comprises 50-70% water.

Emotional tears, for instance, contain leucine-enkephalin, a natural painkiller your body releases in response to stress.

 The Black and White Photographs in this post can be found in the public domain on www “Topography of Tears,” (photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher of ‘The microscopic structure of dried tears’.)
Tears are the medium of our most primal language communicating from birth to death, hunger and everything in between.

Tears cover the totality of all of our life’s experiences.(Above: tears of remembrance.)

Each tear will carry a composite of the events of a human life amounting to one drop of the oceans expanse.

Crying is to the emotions within the soul, what soap is to the body, it truly a cleansing thing.

It contains all that is ours as is represented in our DNA, so no wonder He keeps our tears.

It’s a unique record of each of us.

The shortest sentence in the new Testament speaks of Messiah’s tears:

John 11:35

Va•yivch Yeshua.

 Yeshua wept

However when Jesus wept wept in the garden of Gethsemane, the sum total of all the tears shed by humanity on the whole planet, from the Genesis in Eden to the completion of time in the future at the end of the age. They were being borne in His body when He shed His tears for every soul, prior to the shedding of His blood on Calvary’s cross.

Jesus who as the Son of God, bore all the tears for the sins committed by and to mankind.First came the water and then the blood.   Heb. 5:5-9 

The Epistle to the Hebrews tells us of, ‘His strong crying and tears.’ These are tears which we cannot fully understand; but they were tears for the sins of the world, the weight of which in that most mysterious agony He was then bearing.There is no telling just how many tears have been shed throughout history, yet all our tears, the sum total of human existence was put on the cross.

Untold multiplied billions of tears were covered that day by the blood of Jesus. Each tear we shed has a purpose.  Tears are unique to each one of us and they are designed to give us comfort when we our souls are overwhelmed with emotion and conflict.All our perceptions and all our lives experiences are contained within the tears of failure, joy, etc., and every human emotion we have experienced in our lives; good, bad, or indifferent.

It changes when we come to know Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, because He changes us from within.(Above: tears of momentum)

Tears of agony, rejection and defeat are changed into tears of relief, acceptance and hope.(Above: tears of possibility and hope)

There is coming a time for all righteous believers when God will wipe away the tears for ever.  They are poured out upon his altar as a one-time offering to God.

(Its an interesting thought that it in some way it could be connected to the water libation performed during the Fall Appointed Times?!)

In Isaiah 53, when Jesus/Yeshua, bore our griefs and sorrows, every emotion, and every response since the time of Adam and Eve. All our life’s experiences, that is what Jesus took upon Himself. That is when He wept and why that statement is so powerful.

Our emotional hurt often isn’t our own fault, but rather caused by the wrong-doing of others.Weeping actually brings a healing power to those who have been wronged and helps us heal emotionally.

One day for some of us our need for tears will come to an end –

O Lord my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me. Ps 30:3

Adonai Elo•hai shi•va•ati e•le•cha va•tir•pa•eni.

 

He Knows!

A  vast receptacle, brimming over with our weeping.

However… 

One day our need for tears will come to an end –

A new day is dawning.

A new beginning is coming.

A new joy is arising in our hearts, because His Word declares that although

One day God will wipe away every one of those tears and there will be no more crying.   Revelation 21:4

He will replace all our tears of sorrow with pure joy because ALL the OUTWARD causes of TEARS will be absent.Never again will we shed a tear over losing a loved one or a beloved family pet;

or weep by the casket or graveside of a departed family member;

 or shed a tear for a departed loved one or friend, for these are the former things of this life that will pass away.(Tragedy: tears of awe and sorrow)

Never again will we hear tragic news(Above: tears for what could not be fixed.)or see a flag-draped casket of a soldier who lost his life in a war.(Above: tears of Grief.)

Never again will we experience any physical pain, for God is going to ‘wipe away all of our tears’, that were caused by the outward things in this life.
God will wipe away all the INWARD causes of tears.

There will be no more tears of LONELINESS.DEPRESSION.FRUSTRATION.GUILT and SHAME.

No more tears of Remorse(Above: tears of Remorse.)

or DISAPPOINTMENT.(Above: tears of those who yearn for liberation)

(Above: Tears of timeless reunion.)

All there will be in the Presence of the King of Kings, the Creator of the universe isJoy unspeakable and full of glory as the everlasting arms are wrapped around us..

Rejoice, mending broken hearts is His forte.Jesus quoted and said that He came to bind up the broken hearted and only God is able to do such a thing.

And sadness and sighing will flee away leaving only happy smiles!Joy WorshipReliefLoveHappinessAcceptanceSecurity

On a lighter note as the scriptures say, a merry heart doeth good like a medicine; so here is a small dose…

Sometimes holding back the laughter is too muchand the tears fill our eyes

…sometimesor in Lucy’s case both together!

Whatever our situation in life’s journey lets never forget…

God keeps it all bottled up so we don’t have to!When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry..show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile  because SHALOM!

Keeping It All Bottled up-Part 1

We are familiar with the Book Of Life where the name of every redeemed soul is recorded.     However the scripture records that God also has a book/scroll of remembrance

Malachi speaks of a book or scroll of remembrance written in the presence of God, a record of the words spoken by those who feared the Lord.

Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon and esteemed his name.

Az nid•be•roo yir•ey Adonai eesh el-re•e•hoo va•yak•shev Adonai va•yish•ma va•yi•ka•tev se•fer zi•ka•ron le•fa•nav le•yir•ey Adonai ool•chosh•vei sh`mo.

David cries out to God in the Psalm 56:8,

“put my tears in your bottle” and then declares “are they not in your book?”

He asked that his tears be kept in Heaven’s permanent record.

Psalms 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book? “Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll—are they not in your record?”

No•di sa•far•ta ata si•ma dim•ati v`no•de•cha ha•lo be•sif•ra•te•cha.

God has a book of remembrance that tells of our wanderings, our tears and sufferings. Is this book the same one from Malachi, or yet a different book kept by Adonai?

Everything that people are doing in speaking, communing together in their love for God is chronicled. Everything about us is recorded. (Psalms 139:14-16)Either way, God keeps books full of our life’s stories…the costly victories won in the secret place, the sorrows and pains endured in silence, the joys celebrated in God’s presence, all are witnessed and forever recorded.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
 all the days ordained for me were written in your book
 before one of them came to be. (psalm 139:16)

Rom 12:15. Sim•choo eem-has•me•chim oov•choo eem-ha•bo•chim.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

דמעות Tears Dim-ati   D-M-A/B-KH-HTears of joy are the sunbeams piercing the soft and gentle rain drops of refreshing summer showers.

Bottle – בקבוק (pronounced bahk-book) 

My tears in Your bottle.There are several Hebrew words related to the act of weeping. These range from (bekhi), crying, to (dema’ot), tears, with several interposed onomatopoetic words that imitate the sound of crying: for example, (yevava), (yelala), and, accompanied by a sigh, (nehi).Tears cleanse the eye and also the soul.

For his anger lasts but a moment; in his favor is life; weeping..

Tears may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning Ps 30:5

Ki re•ga be•a•po cha•yim bir•tzo•no ba•erev ya•lin be•chi ve•la•bo•ker ri•na.

Even those who maintain their life is without many problems, have experienced times of great sadness, loss of a loved family member or friend, to all four legged ones with whom we share our lives. Death is a great physical separator, but in Him it is only the doorway to eternity into His presence, to be with Him and the scriptures say we shall be like Him. 

We all cry tears, they are an integral attribute of being human. After nine months it’s our first response to leaving the womb. Tears bring forth life, crying doesn’t indicate that you are weak because since birth it has always been a sign that you are alive.A first dramatic and traumatic transition from darkness into light and it kick starts our bodies to begin doing things on our own, like breathing. The act of crying fills our lungs with air and our life in this realm begins.the first of many tears we would shed over the course of our lifetime.Scripture has plenty to say about tearsThe Lord SEES Our Every Tear All of the passages in scripture teach us this one very important truth and that is, we have never shed a tear that GOD didn’t see.

God has seen every tear we shed…on our pillow at night and every tear we have cried behind closed doors…when hurtful or hateful words were spoken to us and crushed our spirit…when someone has betrayed us or trampled all over our heart…

when our loved one died, and every tear we have shed since then when we think of them…when we have miserably failed and lost all hope in ourselves…every tear we have shed over a wayward son or daughter who has gone astray…

God has put our tears in His bottle and recorded them in His book.

Ruth Bell Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, once said…… “In every pew sits a broken heart.” It would seem that there’s a lot of truth in that statement. 

To every bruised and broken heart reading this today, realize God has put your tears in His bottle and recorded them in His book. 

He knows each and every one…

and His promise to each of us is that “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”Why would He keep our tears in a bottle and record them in His book if they were not precious to Him?

In recent years, science has proved that each tear contains our unique DNA, they represent the sum total of our lives. They are in a sense, a liquid record of our existence and emotional experiences.In the bottle, is all our pain and joy etc. combined, it is each one of us and our whole lives.

That’s why He keeps them.

He promises that one day, there will be no more tears or crying. Then we will be complete in Him and the human emotions will be matured into those of who He IS, and those emotions will no longer be required for a life in eternity with Him.The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face, they are the ones that come from your heart and overwhelmingly envelope your soul. They are the components of the ‘bricks’ with which we build the protective wall around our hearts and the fabric of the shell into which we crawl in order to prevent any further hurt.Many times, crying is the only way that we can speak, when our mouths can’t explain how things broke our heart; when our eyes release tears, they are the words the heart is unable to form or utter.Sometimes we feel like crying for no apparent reason and it’s often to make up for the days we suppressed our tears of sorrow and hurt.Rain falls because the clouds can no longer handle the weight. There comes a tipping point of overflow when their contents can no longer be contained in the same way, our tears fall because the heart can no longer handle the pain.Anyone can make you smile, many people can make you cry,
 but it takes someone really special to make you smile with tears in your eyes.Tears are good! What flows is alive. Crying is like a thunderstorm for the soul, the air feels so wonderful after the rain. Your tears herald a change in your life like the summer rain and they wash away the pain

Tears are like prayers too, they travel to God when we have no words to communicate. Psalm 56:8
A forensics expert explained that when they chemically tested the tears from people who lost loved ones from natural causes, accidents and suicide; those tears showed to contain poison when analyzed in a chemical reaction.

As believers, when we hear that, we think about Jesus crying and realize the enormity of what was contained in His tears in the Garden of Gethsemane. The mental anguish of the extreme stress of the combined sins of the whole world were upon Him. Esau sought with Bitter tears …the poison is in the bitterness. Hebrews 12:15-17 and there are warnings about the root of bitterness in Deut. 29:18 and Lamemtations 3:15,19

Surely at one time, we have all probably had some tears ‘burn’ our eyes.

 Luke 22:62 says, “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.”On hearing this explanation, it becomes clear how important our healing is from others actions, as they can become a poison in our bodies. There are records showing how many survivors who aren’t believers in the Lord, became sick with cancer and other life threatening diseases.

So crying does bring healing and tears bring life. Our tears have an important purpose.
The Bible teaches us there are three things that cause us to shed tears:it’s because of PHYSICAL pain EMOTIONAL painSPIRITUAL painContrary to what many people believe, tears aren’t a sign of weakness, tears are a sign of strength. Its the ability to humble ourselves and allow the reality of our situation to be seen by others.

Crying brings the release of emotion, allowing God to replace all the inner pain with JOY, HOPE and LOVE and to fill our hearts and minds with His Shalom/ the PEACE that passes ALL understanding. 

It has been said that … an interesting observation.

Remember we are greatly loved and cherished and  Coming in Part 2: 

A look at some amazing images showing the intricacies in the designs of tear drops from different emotions.
