The Hymn of God's words "The Existence of All Mankind Rests on God"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/hymn-existence-of-all-man...
Introduction
God’s final work is not just to punish man,
but to arrange man’s destination,
and to achieve everyone’s recognition of all that God has done for them.
God wants every single person to see that everything He’s done is correct,
that all that He has done is an expression of His disposition.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again,
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts,
even though none take heed of Him.
Mankind shall only face the frigid night
and the inexorable valley of the shadow of death.
God is man’s only salvation, hope,
and the one on whom the existence of all mankind rests.
It is certainly not the doing of man, nor did nature create human beings.
Rather, it is God who nourishes every living soul among all things.
Without God, mankind can only perish and only be plagued by calamity;
no one will see the green world again,
nor the beauty of the sun and the moon.
Without God, man will cease moving forward;
without God, man can only suffer
and be trod upon by all manner of ghosts,
even though none take heed of Him.
The work that has been done by God cannot be replaced by anyone.
All He hopes is that man can repay Him
through deeds that are good, that are good.

Mankind the biggest force in the planet.
Symbolized as a sea big predator has already started eating our world burning everything good and honest.
Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Mankind is about 140 thousand years old. If we compress the Earth's existence into a normal full day of 24 hours, then we’ve been on this planet for... 2.5 seconds.
In 2.5 seconds we’ve become the dominant species with a rapidly growing population, causing a catastrophic impact on the environment. We have created the industrial revolution and burned fossil fuels creating more carbon in the atmosphere than ever before. We have caused global warming at a record pace, endangering our own existence. We have cut trees and destroyed forests more than ever before, polluted air, water, and soil. We have created an island of waste, the size of the state of Texas, in the middle of the ocean. We have caused the 4th mass animal extinction. Three-quarters of Earth’s land surface is under pressure from human activity. In just 2.5 seconds we’ve turned the planet into our own personal factory.
It took almost 4.5 billion years of evolution for us to exist and we have changed so much in so little time.
The problem is us. And it is up to us if we want to make it to the 4th second.

With my project “2.5 seconds” I hope to bring awareness about climate change, to start a conversation about the issue and to educate more people about the facts, the urgency of the crisis and the seriousness of its consequences. The project is a series of photographs that highlight the environmental crisis through metaphors and symbolism. Each one of them illustrates and represents a specific environmental issue using allegorical figures and subjects, props, costumes and natural landscapes.
I used “2.5 seconds” as a title because I wanted to invoke the power of numbers and perspective to create a strong, straightforward and shocking effect.
It all started with an idea I had almost 3 years ago. I have always loved nature, and have been both amazed and captivated by our planet’s beauty. I've traveled to many places before, but none of them could compare to what I felt and saw in Iceland. Visiting Iceland for the first time had a great impact on me and made me realize that our planet is fragile and its beauty may disappear. The thought that nature is being affected and destroyed by the changing climate became personal, shocking and upsetting. I wanted to capture and preserve Iceland's incredible beauty through my art while I still can.
The pressure from human activity is having a catastrophic impact on the environment that endangers our own existence. But I feel like ecology problems that are threatening our environment and affecting everyone on the planet do not get enough media attention.
I am using photography as my unique voice to express how I feel and share my fear for the future. I want to bring more meaning to my work and create a strong message for all the people out there. I hope my art will be louder and clearer than words.
The time to act is now.

The invention of the piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655–1731) of Padua, Italy, who was employed by Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany, as the Keeper of the Instruments. Cristofori was an expert harpsichord maker, and was well acquainted with the body of knowledge on stringed keyboard instruments. He used his knowledge of harpsichord keyboard mechanisms and actions to help him to develop the first pianos. It is not known exactly when Cristofori first built a piano. An inventory made by his employers, the Medici family, indicates the existence of a piano by the year 1700; another document of doubtful authenticity indicates a date of 1698. The three Cristofori pianos that survive today date from the 1720s. Cristofori named the instrument un cimbalo di cipresso di piano e forte ("a keyboard of cypress with soft and loud"), abbreviated over time as pianoforte, fortepiano, and later, simply, piano.
While the clavichord allows expressive control of volume and sustain, it is too quiet for large performances in big halls. The harpsichord produces a sufficiently loud sound, especially when a coupler joins each key to both manuals of a two-manual harpsichord, but it offers no dynamic or accent-based expressive control over each note. A harpsichord cannot produce a variety of dynamic levels from the same keyboard during a musical passage (though a player can use a harpsichord with two manuals to alternate between two different stops [settings on the harpsichord that determine which set of strings sound], which could include a louder stop and a quieter stop). The piano offers the best of both instruments, combining the ability to play loudly and perform sharp accents. The piano can project more during piano concertos and play in larger venues, with dynamic control that permits a range of dynamics, including soft, quiet playing.
Cristofori's great success was solving, with no known prior example, the fundamental mechanical problem of designing a stringed keyboard instrument in which the notes are struck by a hammer. The hammer must strike the string, but not remain in contact with it, because this would damp the sound and stop the string from vibrating and making sound. This means that after striking the string, the hammer must be lifted or raised off the strings. Moreover, the hammer must return to its rest position without bouncing violently, and it must return to a position in which it is ready to play almost immediately after its key is depressed so the player can repeat the same note rapidly. Cristofori's piano action was a model for the many approaches to piano actions that followed in the next century. Cristofori's early instruments were made with thin strings, and were much quieter than the modern piano, but they were much louder and with more sustain in comparison to the clavichord—the only previous keyboard instrument capable of dynamic nuance via the weight or force with which the keyboard is played.

The Fibonacci numbers are nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind.

The Rainbow-God's Promise to all mankind!
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

(3) - “The Difference Between the Normal Humanity of Christ and the Humanity of Corrupt Mankind”|what is incarnation
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/the-mystery-of-godliness-...
Introduction
God incarnates to save man and, from the outside, God incarnate appears to be an ordinary person. But do you know the essential difference between God incarnate's normal humanity and the humanity of corrupt mankind? Almighty God says, "The flesh worn by the Spirit of God is God's own flesh. The Spirit of God is supreme; He is almighty, holy, and righteous. So likewise, His flesh is also supreme, almighty, holy, and righteous. ... despite the fact that man and Christ dwell within the same space, it is only man who is dominated, used, and entrapped by Satan. By contrast, Christ is eternally impervious to Satan's corruption, because Satan will never be capable of ascending to the place of the most high, and will never be able to draw near to God" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

“Hail to Communism - the bright future of mankind” proclaims the strapline above the stage in the Palace of Culture in the ghost village of Zalissya. The Palace of Culture, built in 1959 just as the pace of post-War reconstruction under Khrushchev began to slow, will have been the centre of cultural and civic life in the village – meeting place, concert hall, and library. When it was built, few could have predicted that Zalissya’s future would have ended within a generation and the USSR itself would be gone a few years afterwards.
The village of Zalissya in the 30km exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was abandoned in May 1986. This village is on the main road between the main 30km Exclusion Zone checkpoint at Dytiatky and Chornobyl town itself, so is very frequently visited by tourists, who like climbing around the abandoned buildings, which are slowly beginning to crumble. Immediately before the disaster, it had a population of around 3,200.
Afterwards, the hall became a barracks for soldiers brought in to clear up the disaster site and the nearby city of Pripyat’, before Zalissya was abandoned completely.
It is really a battle against ourselves - can we prevent ourselves from taking over everything natural, or will we continue to encroach on the animal's land, finding one day how to train these rhino to push an elevator button and go to sleep in their 21st floor condo? Anyway, I really liked this picture because of the contrast of natural vs man made, free vs confined, horizontal vs vertical, etc. And this is only in Nairobi Kenya - we are way past this pretty much everywhere in the developed world. BTW, this is the Black Rhino, a critically endangered species in Kenya.

a puddle clings to the cracks of cobblestone, defying the weight of human progress. within it, the branches of a tree stretch skyward, trapped but unyielding in their reflection. this is the meeting ground—nature’s soft rebellion against the grid of civilization. the lines of stone are sharp, deliberate, and yet the tree’s delicate chaos overtakes them in the quietest of battles.
I'm feeling so loved today. I just wanted to send a big thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of you who took the time to read my story yesterday and especially to those who left me the nicest heartfelt comments and sent me flickr mail.

I love you guys even more now. :)
(By the way, I had a totally different image in mind for this. I cut this heart out from cardstock and glued pretty pink glitter on it. I wanted the heart to sparkle from the glitter in the sun to symbolize how I was feeling but it didn't look good when I put it directly in the sun. It kept getting blown out. I'll have to try the glitter idea on something else later!)
Oh Wow, this just made it to Explore!! This image means a lot to me so I'm thrilled more people will see it. It's all about spreading the love, right? :)
One of the most powerful scientific tools
ever invented is the telephone
John C. Mather
An early voice communicating device (telettrofono) was invented around 1854 by Antonio MEUCCI. In 1871 he filed a caveat at the US Patent Office and he demonstrated his invention first in Staten Island. Meucci failed to develop his inventions commercially in America.
Alexander Graham BELL is the inventor of the first practical telephone. A well-known part of the history of the telephone is the classic story of him saying "Watson, come here! I want to see you!" Bell was granted US patent for the telephone 1876 being recognized as the "inventor" of the telephone outside of Italy, where Meucci was seen as its inventor.
The first handheld cellular MOBILE phone (weighing 2 Kilogram) was introduced by J.F-MITCHELL and Martin COOPER of Motorola in 1973. The first commercial automated cellular network was launched in Japan by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone in 1979. This was followed in 1981 by the simultaneous launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Several other countries followed

“As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting life’s moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down. Soon, in every nation and in every language, time became the most precious commodity.”
2019 Praise and Worship Song With Lyrics | "God Creates a More Beautiful Tomorrow for Mankind"
Upon those farmers of Canaan who welcome God’s return,
He bestows His good fruits and wishes only for heavens
and man to last forever, and man to last forever.
God wishes man and the heavens to be at rest eternally.
He wishes the evergreen pines to be with Him forever
and stride into the ideal age,
and stride into the ideal age.
Without a word, God toils hard to plow this beautiful land.
For tomorrow to come as a more beautiful day,
God toils with love for man.
God bestows man’s destination, leaving all His riches to man.
He plants the seed of His life inside the field of man’s heart,
sowing His whole life among man, sowing His whole life among man.
God leaves man lasting memories, leaving all of His love behind.
He bestows all that man cherishes in Him upon man.
He gives all His life to mankind,
He gives all His life to mankind.
Without a word, God toils hard to plow this beautiful land.
For tomorrow to come as a more beautiful day,
God toils with love for man.
Without a word, God toils hard to plow this beautiful land.
For tomorrow to come as a more beautiful day,
God toils with love for man.

What is life like after mankind? Being the only people on a private island for 24 hours might help answer that question. In the summer of 2020, we squatted in the ruins of this age-old castle somewhere in Italy. Man left long ago, and nature has been recovering for more than a decade already. Here we wanted to find out what it feels like to be the last people on earth, and produce a documentary about it: youtu.be/PyaSKmVPHBk
In the first part of the urbex video, we will show you how we got on the island, which admittedly, is not completely uninhabited. You will also follow us taking the difficult path to the former monastery, where we set up camp for the night. In the second half of it, we are exploring the island by daylight. We find out why people left and discover this place's history. Even though the ruin is falling apart today, it is still a multi-million Euro property international investors are interested in. But it also feels like our very own paradise! Join us on today's adventure and experience the perfect coronavirus getaway.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is a fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island within Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey (the 2008 Travelers' Choice Destinations Awards by TripAdvisor) and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. Rudyard Kipling had previously called it the eighth Wonder of the World.
Milford Sound is named after Milford Haven in Wales, while the Cleddau River which flows into the sound is also named for its Welsh namesake. The Māori named the sound Piopiotahi after the thrush-like piopio bird, now extinct. Piopiotahi means "a single piopio", harking back to the legend of Māui trying to win immortality for mankind—when Maui died in the attempt, a piopio was said to have flown here in mourning.
As a fiord, Milford Sound was formed by a process of glaciation over millions of years.
Milford Sound runs 15 kilometres inland from the Tasman Sea at Dale Point (also named after a location close to Milford Haven in Wales)—the mouth of the fiord—and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) or more on either side. Among the peaks are The Elephant at 1,517 metres (4,977 ft), said to resemble an elephant's head, and The Lion, 1,302 metres (4,272 ft), in the shape of a crouching lion.
