Key aspects
of Hesychasm:
Goal:
The ultimate goal is
or union with God,
often described as
a form of
divine enlightenment
I never had a goal.
I just did what I was told.
And when I say
"I said"
please understand I have always maintained
that it isn't me doing the speaking?
Okay?
And I aint gonna say that
every time I say;
"I said....etc."
Got me?
Good.
Power of the Holy Spirit workin
right in front of ya.
Get used to it.
(Seems like you already should be
if you ask me.)
Not apologizing for it
EVER.
It speaks for itself,
so why should I?
Here is how it works.
It is an honest to goodness example
of theosis at work

I posted:
Chuck Missler The Book of Genesis - Session 5 of 24 -
But yeah this transcript,
(I edited out my comments
from my post for brevity)
posted on
Tuesday, November 19, 2024
If you read it
you will find out
all sorts of interesting things about Mars,
Near Misses, Ancient 360 day calendars etc.
Until right about that time?
(Cause it usually took me a lil while
to get the post done)
I had never heard of a Mars near miss,
either it missing us on resonate orbits
or something missing it.
Okay?
With me so far?
So here is the transcript,
you should read it
along with watching
this section of the video
and share the information
with everybody you can.
People should at least know
about these things
and take them into consideration,
as they make a lot more sense
than all the garbage
in the sewers
of social media platforms,
"The internet"
etc.

there are some other enigmas as we examine the planets carefully we discover something weird they are in pairs there are three pairs of Rapid spin rates among our planets each within three percent of each other and as you look at these next to each other but there's always a pair that have about the same spin rates within three percent Earth and Mars have the same spin rates Jupiter and Saturn have this roughly the same spin rates and Neptune and Uranus have the same spin rates and to someone that's just investigating with open mind you can't help but wonder why that implies that there's some relationship with ease and these things are not necessarily adjacent to each other Earth and Mars also have virtually identical spin axis tilts they both have about 23.5 degree tilt both Earth and Mars and why you see what this leads to is a belief by some cosmologists that um from the angular momentum issues and from the orbital calculations it would seem to appear that three pairs of these planets may have been brought here from elsewhere how might that have happened well because a comet that has a lot of mass in some other system might catch two of the planets in that system and as it passes by here deposit them there are mathematics that would suggest that it would and if that's true it looked it would seem that on three different occasions at three different occasions there were a pair that did this now these these aren't necessarily improvable conjectures but there isn't any reasonable explanation to explain how they happen unless they just happened okay and that's that's a
22:43
cop-out too well God just did it that way okay maybe he did or maybe there's much more history here than we have no idea but it's another question as you talk about Mars and so forth Mars has craters on it have you ever noticed that by the way let's just back up there's another concept here that I think we've talked about but let's get it out too the common belief the common teaching in schools and I'm talking about colleges not just high schools is that things have always things are uniform they're just the way they've always been well that sounds pretty good until you get a pair of binoculars look at the Moon look at the moon it's beat up you know and and also as we send space probes to all the other planets in the solar system they all have these craters you quickly come to the conclusion that our solar system is a rough neighborhood
23:32
okay but when you look at Mars here's something that most people don't realize Mars has 93 of its craters on just one hemisphere and that in fact and only seven percent and the other it creates the impression that most of those craters happened within a half an hour what does that imply the main point we don't we there's no way we can we need we do not need to indulge in conjectures about that the point it does tell us though is it leads us to a family of views called catastrophism
(Sorry chuck, here is what it implies:
Explains How Mars Got Its Moons
By Brian Koberlein -
November 22, 2024
"This new model proposes an interesting middle way. Rather than an impact or direct capture, the authors propose a near miss by a large asteroid. If an asteroid passed close enough to Mars, the tidal forces of the planet would rip the asteroid apart to create a string of fragments."
That could be why all the craters
concentrated in one area in a short time frame.)
you'll discover that scientists that specialize in cosmology of this kind fall in two categories the common dictum is that things are uniform the whatever's happening has always happened that way there's another group that say just the opposite we see evidence all over of catastrophic changes and they they don't necessarily they're not necessarily biblically oriented people although most biblically oriented thinkers are in that category because of Noah's flood because of all kinds of catastrophes we know about from the scripture we know that this world hasn't always been the way it is and so now about 80 percent
(i think he got his numbers mixed up,
but 80% or 93% it is still an overwhelming majority.)
of the creators appear to have occurred within a single half hour so that's kind of exciting strange enough we're going to talk a little bit about this when we get to Genesis chapter 6 7 8 with Noah's flood
24:58
because there's there are some scientists that believe the planet Mars had a role in uh Noah flood but we had mentioned Mars I want to talk a little bit about that that's the fourth major planet from the Sun it's named after the Roman God of War right Mars Means War that's why we speak of martial arts right and so forth we still use those terms and uh what's interesting that most early civilizations were terrified of Mars many of them worshiped Mars when you read about Baal in the Old Testament it can mean Heavenly Bodies In general but very often it appears to specifically be talking about the planet Mars the Baal of the Old Testament Second Kings 23 5 well lots of places you've all run into that before the question is why you and I are arguably more sophisticated in terms of space with since we've have our astronauts visit the moon and you know we've lived in a culture in which it would consider itself very sophisticated with regards to space but I'll bet you there isn't anyone in this room or let's say very few people in this room that could go outside and point out the planet Mars
(How many people could do it today without a phone?)
now just recently in the last few months it's been closer to the Earth and it's been in a long long time so it's been in the news a bit but even with all that unless you've done a little reading and got some coaching you wouldn't know where to look for it right and yet the ancient cultures were terrified of Mars you see something doesn't compute here does it well there are some alternative views the uniformitarians I mentioned they claim to the presumption that things have remained essentially unchanged over billions of years we reject that for lots of reasons the
26:52
catastrophe catastrophists say that the Universe has been subjected to a series of catastrophic events and Fiat Creations are that's us are included in this view people who believe that creation came by the word of God and so on now the uniformity of delusions I mentioned this you can view any surface in the solar system see the craters and I don't mean just the moon uh look at all the pictures that come back from Pioneer and all the others um you may not realize that the the planet Earth itself has a constant reign of interplanetary debris and we accumulate about 100 tons of dust every day every day one of the arguments for a young Moon
27:41
is in the astronauts got there the dust was so shallow it couldn't have been falling for as long as people sometimes previously thought that the thickness of the Dust is one way of measuring age in that sense because you know what the rates are roughly and you can make some estimates did you know that there's over a hundred craters here on the Earth most of them are hard to see because the erosion is softened their impact but if you've been at the Winslow you know the crater near the Winslow Arizona is one of them and there's and there's a few others that are still quite visible from an aircraft in Siberia at Tunguska and secular on June 30th of 1908 there's a very very famous event in which 2 000 square kilometers of forest was destroyed and it was uh it was so remote from civilization that it wasn't really explored until about 17 years later and it's very famous for that reason the bomb on Hiroshima was about a 20 kiloton it's nominally a unit of measuring these things our uh nominal thermonuclear Warheads are for Megaton this thing was about a 15 Megaton equivalent they figured and of course I made reference to the meteor crater near Winslow Arizona it's about a mile across and there's a huge crater there on the Yucatan Peninsula it was discovered in 1991 some some speculated had something to do it may reason the dinosaurs disappeared um there's a much better explanation for why the dinosaurs disappeared it's called Noah's flood but let's move on it was Six Mile in diameters about a hundred Megaton equivalent apparently and uh what's interesting statistically scientists expect that there's something like this about every 300 years and one in three of these things land on land see many of them land in the ocean that's why we don't see the many craters so that gives people a certain sense of insecurity but what's interesting the Ancients worship these things the meteorites a meteorite is behind the mecca that was 2000 years before Muhammad by the way Kaaba is not it's something that Islam adopted didn't create it it's interesting that Cairo which is the site of the Great Pyramid is named after Mars al-qira is the Arabic name for Mars so is there a relationship between worshiping Mars and the Great Pyramid no one knows there's all kinds of conjectures and it's interesting in Athens we all talk about Mars Hill right Iraq West it's named after Aries not the constellation areas which is spelled differently Aries was the uh Greek for Mars and Mars is was pictured in the mythology as the source of judgment so Mars Hill was named after Mars which suggested to the Athenian mind judgment and uh it's uh it had there was an ancient institutional Court there the arabicus and acts 17 of course uh uh is a very key site where Paul chooses to preach there and by Dionysus was a member of that sect according to Acts 17. that uh anyway but this leads to something else
30:54
I like to mention because these things impact your perspective of the scripture one of the problems that Christians have isn't just did the did the Lord create the the universe in six days well that's what he said he did I take him out his word but the other problem some of us run into is the long day of Joshua the day wasn't long enough for Josh's battles and he actually asks for extra time and the Lord grants it and a lot of people have trouble with that the Battle of Beth horn the kings that he was fighting Joshua and his his his his countrymen across the Jordan and they were facing Seven Nations and uh they they attacked they tackle the capital first at uh Jericho capital of the Amorites but anyway as things go on here the kings that they're fighting Confederate themselves under a leader who calls himself Adonai Zedek he was the king of Jerusalem apparently and uh Adonai the Lord of righteousness detecting righteousness and uh at this battle at Beth horn these kings are defeated by God with stones of fire from heaven now they could be maybe there's some very special stones or maybe they were meteorites very skillfully put in the right place um but Joshua asked the Lord to have the sun stand still in order to give them time to complete their victory and the scripture tells us the Sun and the Moon by the way both extended uh an entire day made it longer now most of us have trouble with that trying to visualize it because we presume that that meant the Earth had to stop or slow down and the inertia there's all kinds of reasons why that is it would seem to be untenable
what we don't realize is
all you have to do is
change the precession a little bit
and you accomplish
the same thing
but in any case the kings that are defeated they hide in a cave until they're finally dealt with and this whole event the Battle of Beth horn Joshua 10 completes the southern strategy of the conquest of Canaan and of course the rest from this point on is just mop up in the in the in the Book of Joshua but let's get at this key event that bothers many people the sun Stood Still we discover by doing investigation that all ancient calendars at least 14 cultures I've been able to find have calendars that were based on 360 day years and uh the the all these ancient calendars apparently changed after 701 BC
"The 360-Day Year"
All early calendars appear to be based on a 360-day calendar: the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Chinese, Mayans, Hindus, Carthaginians, Etruscans, and Teutons all had calendars based on a 360-day year; typically, twelve 30-day months.
In ancient Chaldea, the calendar was based on a 360-day year. It is from this Babylonian tradition that we have 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes to an hour, 60 seconds in each minute, etc.")
um we also find that Mars was worshiped by these ancient cultures have mentioned and out of all this comes an interesting hypothesis I'm not going to go into all the details here because it's just it's peripheral to our purpose but I want you at least be aware of it the uh the ancient calendars changed the Romans added four and a quarter days the uh other other cultures did different things the the Hebrews did something really weird they add a month about every seven years they actually add a month seven times on a 19-yearcycle and it's complicated um and you find the ancient rabbinical literature speculates different reasons why Hezekiah who did all this did it that way what they don't talk about that puzzles us even more is they don't explain why the counter had a change in the first place because the Romans change their calendar every change account and uh the theory there's a near there's a hypothesis about a year pass by of Mars as we have learned about orbital resonance all of you that have some musical background understand what resonance is or if you're electrical engineer what resonances orbits also resonate things that are in orbit and near each other pass energy and Earth and Mars the conjecture is we're originally on resonant orbits the earth on a 360 day orbit and Mars on a 720-day orbit and uh in resonance however every 108 years they would have a near pass by because of the geometry the pass by would always occur October 25th or March 15th Actually March I forgot I'll cheat I'll have to look at my diagram I've forgotten but the point is it would if it did happen it would always happen the same time of year when because that's where the orbits crossed or came near each other but if they were both in the right place that they passed near each other there'd be an energy transfer and what's interesting about this model is that it would account for catastrophic events on a number of occasions in fact seven of them in history apparently at 701 BC by then they stabilized to where their orbits are presently let me just look be clear when I show you the diagram and so we have the Earth on an elliptical orbit around the sun on the on the screen there you have Mars on a a a elliptical orbit they would cross now their resin Earth 360 Mars 720. now on March 20th or 21st roughly there'd be an if they if they passed near each other in the springtime that would be after they both have passed the Sun so it's just after perihelion that's the time we were closer to the Sun um one the Earth would lose energy to Mars um and and one would gain and one would lose if on the other hand they're passing in the fall if the other time the orbits are near each other's in the fall on October 25th and Mars would be coming from the outside would pass behind Earth Earth would lose energy and Mars would gain it so each time there was a near pass by there'd be a transfer when you get finally to the seventh time this that we know of that this happened the last time it happens they stabilize so the Earth by then had picked up five and a quarter days and Mars will have lost uh almost 40 days well about uh what uh 13 and about 33 days to the the orbits that they have today now
(33 is an interesting number in Christianity
and:
"the number 33 is significant primarily because Jesus Christ is believed to have been crucified at the age of 33. This age is often associated with the culmination of his earthly ministry and the fulfillment of prophecy. Additionally, 33 is linked to the concept of divine promises and their completion within the scriptures.)
37:17
you say that sounds pretty far-fetched it's an interesting conjecture and so forth but the idea that Mars came that close to the Earth bothers a lot of people it's surprising to discover that this theory that they've modeled a great extent and it's got it's gotten some interesting publication um seems to be validated by of all people Jonathan Swift how many have ever read Gulliver's Travels are you at least familiar with it right okay Jonathan Swift was an Irish political satirist and the Gulliver's Travels Anthology were essays or stories that were intended to poke fun on some political issues of that day we've lost that today because we're not familiar with this context but let me back up give you some technology the early telescopes you all know that the Galileo invented a telescope in 1610 and he with it he discovered the four moons of Jupiter and Saturn's rings which you can see through a good set of binoculars actually if you know how to do it in 1781 Herschel discovered Uranus technology is improving all the way here 1787 Herschel discovered the two moons of Uranus in 1789 he discovered two more moons of Uranus in 1846 Le Verrier discovered Neptune and one of its moons in 1877 Asaph Hall using a brand new telescope at the U.S Naval Observatory discovers the two moons of Mars he made astronomical history because here we are uh you know in 1877 call it the almost well it's a two centuries after the telescope history here no one knew that Mars had any moons at all why because they're only a the moon's only about eight miles across and
they're almost black
they have a reflectivity and Albedo
of less than three percent
(Because they are captured asteroid fragments?)
but he made history there and I hear that with that background he and he named them by the way Dimos and Phobos fear and panic it seemed appropriate for Mars God of War see so it's interesting that Dimos has a a period of about 30 hours and 18 minutes it's almost synchronous to Mars which is interesting Phobos is the only thing in the solar system that rotates backwards Eastward not Western
(Generally believed that Christ will come from the east.
Matthew 24:27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.)
it's got a period of 7 hours and 39 minutes it's only eight miles in diameter and so on so okay what's that God do anything well Jonathan Swift in 1667 through 1745 was his lifetime he wrote Gulliver's Travels and not the first voyage of Gulliver we've all heard about the boys the little people the laputions the third voyage he goes to this place called luputa and while he's in the puta the astronomers of laputa are bragging to Gulliver his fictional character here that they know about the two moons of Mars and the astronomers in London don't and not only that the discussion in Jonathan Swift's a little story details their size their revolutions and their orbits within less than 20 percent error not precisely but disturbingly close the question is how and and see the whole point is Swift published Gulliver's Travels 151 years before they were discovered by the astronomical world so the question is how how on Earth did Jonathan Swift pull it off one conjecture it was a shrewd guess I don't think so uh another one is that he somehow knew about the moons of Mars but he was a friend of Herschel and so they would have they would have had some Commerce that way the third possibility and it's the one that I think is the most likely is that go that Jonathan Swift Drew upon some literature available to him that he probably presumed was just colorful uh embroidery for us for his uh fiction and it's not likely that Swift realized that what what he was drawing upon some ancient document that was in his possession was actually an eyewitness account because that's the only way you could account for this is that somehow somebody had seen the two moons of Mars and uh it's too far to be seen unless Mars was as close as about 70 000 miles to the planet Earth so that implies that sometime in history it did pass that close and somebody recorded the two moons and that somehow fell into Swift's thing and he used it.
(Its more logical than the multiverse fairytale.)
41:38
as embroidery for his novel so let's talk about the long day briefly a third of a million men were Beth Horan on October 25th the 1404 BC Mars is in a polar pass at about 70, 000 miles from the Earth it would rise from the Horizon about 50 times the size of the Moon it would be priests there would be severe earthquakes and land Tides not water tides land tides and this would be preceded and followed by meteors and bolides meteors are like iron ore or hard chunks bolides are explosions these are meteors that are have that are chemically reactive and uh but uh and most of course explode before they get close to us the uh
a polar shift
about five degrees
would cause the day to be lengthened
(3I/ATLAS
is coming within 5 degrees
of the earths ecliptic.
Mars and earths ecliptics
are within a few degrees
of each other.
INTERESTING.)
the meteors would follow two or three hours later at about 30,000 miles an hour and I'll tell you what's interesting these meteors are so accurately positioned that they only kill Israel's enemies and doesn't kill Israel now that is in this text there's no way to explain it except by God's handiwork so even though there may be some naturalistic issues here God knew in advance that psalmud that Joshua would need this and uh apparently arranged it so now what's interesting this event is also included in the ancient legends other ancient legends of folklore were indebted to Emmanuel Velikovsky who discovered that there is a tradition of a long night in China at about this time
(I downloaded the free PDF yesterday.)
so kind of fun and of course this is a the southern campaign involved the Treaty of the gibanites the battle Beth horn and so forth and it's at Beth horn that this all that we have a series of these attacks the rest of this uh is the is the rest of the campaign in the north was just cleanup after the this decisive victory at Beth horn one last thing I'd love to point out before we leave Joshua it's interesting that Joshua is a variant of Yeshua it's always provocative to me when I find a book in the Old Testament named after Yeshua I wonder why here's a guy that's the military commander dispossessing the usurpers he undertakes a seven-year campaign to do so and he's against seven of an original Ten Nations it's interesting to me how the Torah is ignored at Jericho the Sabbath is ignored and the Levites are involved both are prohibited by the by the Torah um remember this they were supposed to rest on not do anything on the Sabbath day they also uh Levites were not to go to war remember they're the first ones in the procession and the first thing this that Joshua does he sends in two witnesses Moses 40 years earlier had sent in 12 and 10 didn't do many good so that's what some people like to say he's sending two witnesses there may be lots of reasons for that they certainly weren't spies because there's no intelligence that they brought back that was the basis of his battle plan all they did is get Rahab saved a gentile bride ultimately the seven trumpet judgments are echoed there in effect because they're pre it's they they March around Jericho once a day for Six Days on the seventh day they March around seven times keeping silence until the 7th of the seventh and then get some more science for have in heaven for half an hour in Revelation enemies are confederated under a leader in Jerusalem Adam Isaac means the Lord of righteousness and all and he's ultimately defeated with hailstones and fire from heaven signs of the Sun and the Moon and so forth and uh so and of course the Kings hide in caves like rocks fall on us and so forth as you notice this you can't help have an echo in your ears of what Revelation is talking about as you go through the Book of Revelation you can it's interesting to see the parallel structurally with Joshua on the one hand in Revelation another Joshua of course being the military commander dispossessing the land of Canaan from the usurpers and Yeshua coming as a military commander to dispossess the planet Earth of the usurpers that is running things and the parallel I think is provocative I mentioned only so that as you dig into either or both books you'll see that you might explore the possibilities I said we talk a little bit about
46:00
extraterrestrial communication it's interesting to me that when scientists look for the signs of of Life they look for information as and uh project Osmond was a unsuccessful initial attempt the uh the communication extra extraterrestrial intelligence conference in ...Russia is fascinating proceedings to read Because 84 of the top scientists met to discuss this whole possibility of life in space and what's interesting about those papers from every field of science they come to the conclusion that there's no evidence for it and the probability of ever finding it is diminishes and uh so there's they use the green Bank formula this is a classic formula by Frank Drake that uh the number of civilizations in our galaxy would be equal to well but the rate of star formation whatever that is there's speculation that what fraction of those would have planets which how many of those planets would have a mean would have a life capable ecology how many of those what fraction of those would actually have life and what fraction of those would have intelligent beings enough to develop into a communication phase and then the what's the mean lifetime of technological civilizations if you can come up with those estimates you can come up with a guess as to what what the likelihood is of finding any civilizations in our galaxy and as they go through this the in effect are lending their expertise to the reality that all of these are disqualifying and uh the probability of finding life in this universe from a scientific point of view is very they still like to look but it's it's very hard to justify now um you say what is how does a Christian really often you Chuck do you believe there's life in outer space somehow I'm setting aside Angels that's what I mean in the nationalistic sense and if there's life out there you got one of two problems it's either sinless or it's sinful and you can't follow that down very far on either path and find you got problems you mean they're sinless life out there then why is he bothering with us huh well if there's sinful life out there then Christ paid for it on a cross in Judea on planet Earth that's hard to it's you know in otherwords uh so net of all of this I don't believe there is I think we are unique for lots of reasons...
(Obviously I do as well.)
SO?
Got all that?
Good.
cause I'm trying to make a point here lol.
So then on
Tuesday, July 8, 2025
3I/ATLAS Trajectory.
MARS NEAR MISS
ANYBODY?
And there were 231 days
in between
those two post.
(11/19/24 through 7/8/25)
So I decided to have a lil fun.
(Remember now
I am giving you an example
of how Theosis
"often described as
a form of
divine enlightenment"
works.)
So, guided by the spirit of God
I took the 231 days between post
and divided by 30.
Like the # of days
in the months
of a lot of the
ancient 360 day calendars
that Dr. Missler had mentioned.
Comes out to 7.7.
Not 7.6
Not 7.8
7.7
As in completion.
