So I was just browsing through the Word of God the other day and stumbled upon Isaiah 26.
Isaiah 26:19-21
19 Thy
dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake
and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,
and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come,
my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no
more cover her slain.
That sure sounds like zombies to me. Of course I'm not a Bible scholar and maybe there is something I'm missing about that exact passage. Maybe context would clear things up. Nevertheless, I do believe that men give themselves too much credit for coming up with ideas that really come from the Bible. Dragons, aliens, heavenly creatures, angels.... all of that stuff comes from the Bible. Like a friend of mine said in reference to the book of Ecclesiastes, "there's nothing new under the sun!"
My brother Channing made a joke that those of us who are raptured and in heaven will have the controllers... just like X-box or Play Station. I don't think that's quite how it works, but it's an amusing concept. My brother Daniel was saying that he thinks that the news stations will try to cover up the rapture by calling it an alien invasion. But seriously.... where did people get the idea of aliens from anyways? Or the image you get of a aliens in their space ship in the clouds catching people up into the sky??? Hmmm... sounds like a take off of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
Anyways, that's my random thought for the day. I'm definitely going to read the whole book of Isaiah now!!

Crazy Universe Theories
Well here I am again. I am in the process of reading history but have to take a second to write down my thoughts.
O.K. I was reading about Copernicus and what the people in his time thought about his ideas. Well we all know Ptolemy’s view of the universe is wacko but is it completely?
Copernicus wrote this in a “Little Commentary”:
The center of the earth is not the center of the Universe, but only of gravity and of the lunar sphere. All the spheres, or planets, revolve around the sun and therefore the sun is the center of the universe. What appears to us as motions of the sun arise not from it’s motion, but from the motion of the earth, our sphere…(for) we revolve around the sun like any other planet.
Alright this does make some sense but what about Genesis 1:16 where it says, “And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the might: he made the stars also.” Well now, what about that.
He created the sun after “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Why in the heck would he make the earth circle for years (remember the gap theory between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2) around nothing until he created the sun?! Wouldn’t it make more sense for the sun to revolve around the earth? Also in Joshua 10:12-14 it talks about how, “The Lord said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajelon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed….” Now if Copernicus is correct then the Bible must have some kind of error because if the sun is already still God would not have stopped it from moving. He would have stopped the earth in it’s place. Now since we know the King James Bible is perfect and without error then either I’m reading it wrong or Copernicus is incorrect. Hmmm. It could be both. The only thing I can’t figure out yet is how the seasons would work. Gee, this is confusing stuff. I guess we’ll all know someday. That will be and interesting day!!
P.S. I’ve heard that when you go to space you always see the side of earth you left from (like if you left from the U.S.A. you’d see the America’s the whole time you were in space). I don’t know if it’s true or not.
