The closest-ever images taken of the sun have revealed mini solar flares called “campfires” dotted across its surface.

Genesis tells us that on the fourth day of creation, God spoke into existence the greater light of the sun, and the lesser light of the moon. All through the bible, in both Testaments, the sun is shown to us as a type or metaphor of Jesus Christ. Indeed, the blazing, all-consuming sun is an excellent picture of the white-hot holiness that is God, and a terrifying picture of His wrath and judgment. The last book of our Old Testament, Malachi, shows us this type picture of the sun as Jesus Christ in stunning technicolor.

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 4:1-3 (KJB)

To call Jesus Christ the ‘Sun of righteousness’ is about a clear a picture of the power of our Saviour as you’re going to get. When Saul met the risen Jesus on the Damascus road, he was allowed to view Him unfiltered, which caused Saul to immediately lose his sight and go blind for a season. In our physical world, there is nothing more powerful than the sun, created by the only begotten Son of God, who stands without equal in all eternity. I wonder if NASA ever thinks about these things while snapping photos of the sun?

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11 (KJB)

Of course, the endless, burning fiery majesty of the sun is also an excellent picture of the nature of Hell, which burns with fire unquenchable. Whether you spend eternity burning in the Lake of Fire, or eternity with Jesus Christ in Heaven, you will find yourself in the midst of the power of God forever and ever. But I highly recommend you choose to be with Jesus in Heaven, over the endless, raging fires of Hell. You won’t like Hell one tiny, little bit.

Closest pictures of sun ever taken reveal mysterious ‘campfires’

FROM YAHOO NEWS: The images were captured last month by the Solar Orbiter, a European Space Agency (ESA) probe designed and built in the UK. Scientists say the pictures could shed light on the mysterious process that means the outer layer of the star is so much hotter than the layers below. The spacecraft came within 47 million miles of the sun’s surface and passed between the orbits of Venus and Mercury.

David Berghmans from the Royal Observatory of Belgium said: “When the first images came the first thought was this is not possible, they cannot be that good, it was really much better than what we dared to hope for.”

Solar flares are sudden flashes of high-energy radiation from the sun’s surface, which can cause radio and magnetic disturbances on the Earth.

Dr Caroline Harper, head of space science at the UK Space Agency, said that scientists were excited by the presence of campfires that are “millions of times smaller than the solar flares”.

She said: “We do not really know what they (the campfires) are doing but there is speculation that they might play a role in coronal heating, a mysterious process whereby the outer layer of the sun, known as the corona, is much hotter (around 300 times) than the layers below.

“These campfires may be contributing to that in a way we do not know yet.” The mystery of why the Sun’s corona is so hot has been a mystery for years.

ESA’s Solar Orbiter project scientist Daniel Müller: “The Sun’s corona is a little counter-intuitive because you would think if you had a body that was relatively cool at the centre it would be even cooler the further you go away but on the contrary, we have a hot core, a relatively cool surface of just about 5,500 degrees surrounded by a super hot atmosphere of more than a million degrees.”

“In mid-June, Solar Orbiter made its first close pass of the Sun following its Feb 9 launch, turning on all 10 of its instruments together for the first time,” NASA said in a statement on its website. READ MORE

Don Lemon said, “Here’s the thing: Jesus Christ — if that’s who you believe in, Jesus Christ — admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.”

Liberals hate God in general, and they despise Jesus Christ in particular. The other day on CNN, gay Liberal host Don Lemon wasted no time trashing Jesus Christ in a broadside shot at the Founding Fathers. You could say he was trying to take out the King James Bible and the Declaration of Independence with the same shot. Interestingly, well-known Roman Catholic and fellow host on the Communist News Network had no rebuttal when Don Lemon starting talking about him imperfect Jesus Christ was when He walked this earth.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:6-9 (KJB)

This just shows you that, in order to achieve their stated goals and remain faithful to their Progressive agenda, Liberals like Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo will say anything and do anything, even if it means as in Cuomo’s case remaining silent while the Person you claim to worship is being openly trashed and lied about. But did you really expect something different from a gay Liberal and a Roman Catholic who both work for CNN? Useful idiots, Lenin would be proud.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:9,10 (KJB)

Ironically, as Don Lemon was trashing Jesus, the bible shows us clearly that this same Jesus went to the cross for Don Lemon, and paid the penalty for all his sins on the cross at Calvary. As of this writing, Lemon has refused that free gift, choosing instead to pay for his own sins himself in the burning fires of Hell. Pray that both these mockers, Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo, will get saved before it is everlasting too late.

CNN Don Lemon: Jesus Christ ‘Admittedly Was Not Perfect When He Was Here’

Don Lemon claimed Jesus Christ “admittedly was not perfect” when he was on earth, prompting ridicule from some who accused the CNN host of being ignorant of the basic tenets of Christianity.

During a discussion about the shortcomings of the Founding Fathers on Wednesday night with fellow CNN host Chris Cuomo, Lemon said, “Here’s the thing: Jesus Christ — if that’s who you believe in, Jesus Christ — admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.”

“Jesus Christ, if that’s who you believe, if that’s who you believe in, admittedly was not perfect when he was here on this earth.”

As Cuomo nodded approvingly, Lemon continued, “So why are we deifying the founders of this country, many of whom owned slaves, and in the Constitution — the original one — they didn’t want, they put slavery in there, that slavery should be abolished because it was the way the king wanted. And then the Congress said, ‘No way!’”

The moral perfection of Jesus is a doctrine extending to the earliest days of Christianity and the New Testament, which asserts in passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 7:26 that Christ “knew no sin” and was “holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners.” In the Gospels, Jesus said of himself in John 7:18 that “the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.”

Lemon’s gaffe came the same night that Fox News host Tucker Carlson delivered a monologue in which he implied CNN deliberately hires hosts who are “dumb.” Criticizing Lemon for his recent comments about Black Lives Matter, Carlson said:

Now if you’re running a channel like CNN, you want dumb people on TV because they are compliant, they will say what they’re told, they will tell the audience what the moment demands, they will never stray from the script, and that’s exactly what Mr. Lemon is doing… READ MORE

The Sinless Perfection Of Jesus Christ

“He’s enduringly strong. He’s entirely sincere. He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful. He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful. That’s my King. He’s God’s Son. He’s the sinner’s saviour. He’s the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He’s honest. He’s unique. He’s unparalleled. He’s unprecedented. He’s supreme. He’s pre-eminent. He’s the grandest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the supreme problem in higher criticism. He’s the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He’s the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That’s my King.” SM Lockridge

The myth that Jesus was a Palestinian dates back to the days of Yasser Arafat, when his trusted Christian-Palestinian adviser Hanan Ashrawi made the claim. Since then, the idea resurfaces now and again, according to Cooper.

Jesus is a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, He is my Saviour and friend who paid the debt of sin that I owed on that dark day on the cross at Calvary. To others Jesus is a good man, a prophet, a teacher, and some couldn’t care less about Him. But no one, in the right minds, would ever in a million literal years deny the fact that Jesus was a Jew. He certainly could not have been a ‘palestinian’, why? Because no such place as Palestine as a nation ever existed, and there has never been until the later part of the 20th century, a people group calling themselves palestinian.

“And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Luke 23:38 (KJV)

West Bank and Gaza Strip are also 20th century names, in the bible these places are known as Judea and Samaria. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, another place in the bible that was part of Israel. So what does all this have to do with newly-elected Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar? Plenty.

From the day she took office, we warned you to brace yourselves for trouble. Omar, a Muslim, is rabidly anti-semitic and hates the Jews and the sovereign state of Israel. Omar and her other Muslim buddy Rashida Harbi Tlaib are longtime supporters of the anti-Israel BDS Movement. Now Ilhan Omar has resurrected the tired old myth started by Yasser Arafat that Jesus Christ was somehow a ‘palestinian’ in a pathetic attempt to justify the existence of and for a Palestinian state.

“In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 14:20,21 (KJV)

It won’t wash, Ms. Omar, and if you and your Jew-hating Muslim buddies would ever take the time to read the bible, you would see that from cover to cover Jesus is 100% Jew through and through. Not only that, the prophet Zechariah tells us that when Jesus King of the Jews returns to sit on the throne of David in the Millennium, that the Canaanite from whom the modern-day ‘palestinians’ are descended from, won’t be allowed anywhere near Jerusalem. Looks like God has a One State Solution in mind after all.

WAS JESUS A PALESTINIAN AND WHY WOULD MUSLIM CONGRESSWOMAN ILHAN OMAR CARE?

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Was Jesus a Palestinian and why does Congresswoman Ilhan Omar care?  These are questions that Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean and director of global social action agenda for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, asked this week, after the congresswoman retweeted a New York Times op-ed by Eric V. Copage, which claimed that “Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Palestinian man with dark skin.”

The writer was exploring why Jesus is so often illustrated as a white man with blue eyes, but Cooper contends that Omar likely had another agenda in sharing the article, which she did with the following message: “Don’t they (Christians) know Jesus was a Palestinian?”

“The claim that Jesus was a Palestinian is so bizarre that the question becomes what one gains by making that allegation,” Cooper told The Jerusalem Post. “For people who have no theological or historical rooting, the idea that Jesus was a Palestinian creates a new narrative for Palestinian history, which otherwise does not date back very far. If one can say that Jesus was Palestinian 2,000 years ago, then that means the Jews are occupying Palestinian land.”

Cooper said that for people who “don’t like Jews to begin with, it is a deadly combination of the Jews killed Jesus and now they are doing the same to his progeny,” he continued. “From a political and propaganda point of view, there is something to be gained.”

The myth that Jesus was a Palestinian dates back to the days of Yasser Arafat, when his trusted Christian-Palestinian adviser Hanan Ashrawi made the claim. Since then, the idea resurfaces now and again, according to Cooper.

“The absurdity of it is breathtaking,” Cooper said of Jesus being a Palestinian. “Jesus was born in Bethlehem, think about who is parents were – his mother, Mary, was betrothed to Joseph, a carpenter. In the Gospels, there is no mention of Palestine, only Judea, which is where Jews lived.”

Cooper said that if the Palestinians admit that Jesus was a Jew, then the idea that the Jews only arrived in Israel in 1948 and occupied Palestinian indigenous land becomes an absurdity.

He said Omar “knows this narrative is false but also that it has an inherent power to it,” said Cooper. “The ‘Benjamins,’ the big lie of dual loyalty, Jesus is a Palestinian – it is all rewriting history to plant in people’s minds that the Palestinian people go back thousands of years.”

“She is a very clear person,” Cooper continued. “Ilhan Omar is a clever anti-semite, so truth does not play much of a role anyway.” He added that, “When an elected member of the US Congress retweets such a thing, that takes things to the next level.”

With all the hate in my mentions directed at @IlhanMN for calling attention to the plight of Palestinian Christians, I cant help but remember when @RevDrBarber shook up the DNC saying: “Jesus, a brown skinned Palestinian Jew” https://t.co/mHO3V43WbZ

— Omar Suleiman (@omarsuleiman504) April 22, 2019

Some people came out in defense of Omar, such as American Muslim scholar, civil rights activist, writer and speaker Omar Suleiman. He tweeted a speech by American Protestant Minister William J. Barber II, who likewise made the claim that “Jesus, a brown-skinned Palestinian Jew” and called out the misplaced hate directed at Omar.

Cooper said he was surprised The New York Times allowed Copage to publish an op-ed with such a line, and expected such information only to be shared on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where users can get away with much more before it is identified – if it is ever identified – as fake news.

The solution: education, he said.

“It is extremely important for world Jewry and Jewish families to teach their own and go over our amazing love affair between the people and her land that stands for more than 3,000 years,” said Cooper, noting that is the responsibility of educated Jews and Christians to counter such falsehoods.

The Myth Of A Nation Called Palestine

There has never in human history existed a nation known as Palestine, and there has never been a ‘palestinian’ people. This 20th century construct is a creation of Yasser Arafat who hated Israel and the Jewish people.

Debunking the Palestine Lie

This video debunks the Palestinians’ claim and shows that Abbas has been lying about the origins and history of the conflict. Palestinian leaders have rejected partition plans that would have given them much more land for their independent state than the Jews were offered for theirs. Rather than being the innocent victims of a “dispossession” at the hands of the Israelis, the Palestinians rejected reasonable compromises and instead pursued their aim of getting rid of Israel.

That’s My King, Do You Know Him?

My King was born King. The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King. He’s the King of the Jews – that’s an Ethnic King. He’s the King of Israel – that’s a National King. He’s the King of righteousness. He’s the King of the ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of glory. He’s the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that’s my King.
