The up-coming launch of the NASA Kepler satellite has prompted a rash of articles intended to explain the purpose of the mission.  Simply stated it is designed to detect planets around distant stars which appear to have the potential of supporting life.  This staring satellite uses a ninety-five megabyte image array to sense slight periodic reductions in the radiation from thousands of stars in the field of view, if and when a planet transits the light-path from any star to the satellite.   It does not form an image of the stars because the small mirror (55 cm diameter) does not have sufficient resolution.  The periodicity of the intensity reductions of each star provides information on the orbital period and this combined with the estimated mass of the star gives the approximate orbit of the planet. This method has been used to detect a few of the some 300 exo-planets discovered to date.  The more common method is based on the detection of minute shifts in a star’s spectra caused by its motion, which is induced by its planets.  This method is biased toward the discovery of giant planets, such as Jupiter or larger, since they influence the motion of the star more strongly.  As a result, the majority of exo-planets detected to date have been hot, giant planets orbiting relatively close to their star – attributes which are not only counter to the presence of life on the planet, but probably in the system as a whole.

In the Kepler mission, the primary criteria for a potential life-bearing planet will be whether the planet’s distance from the star would allow the presence of liquid water on its surface.  The range of orbital radii in which this would be possible is called the ‘habitable zone’ or, as stated in a recent popular article, “ in the not-too-cold, not-too-hot, Goldilocks zones around stars where liquid water can exist.”  Astrophysicists think they know this zone  – “ahh, but there’s the rub,” paraphrasing Hamlet.

The entire astrophysical ‘community’ believe that Venus was created at the inception of the solar system as a twin of the Earth.  Believe it or not, they imagine that it acquired vast oceans, similar to the Earth, but then, because it was too close to the Sun, a ‘greenhouse effect’ caused it to heat up to the point where all of its oceans evaporated to space, resulting in the Venus we observe today with a surface so hot that lead and zinc would melt on its rocks.  Because the surface pressure on Venus is ninety-one times that of the Earth, planetary scientists believe that the atmosphere comprises 30,000 times the amount of carbon dioxide as that of the Earth.  But the Pioneer Venus probe instruments could not  detect the very heavy molecule S8 (sulfur ring molecule) which completely dominates the lower 50 km of the atmosphere.  The sulfur is being shot from the boiling interior through 200,000 ’small domes’ around the planet.  Unfortunately, their lack of understanding that Venus is a new planet has led to a completely false history of Venus, which is a primary factor in the threatened global warming of the Earth.

But the ancient texts tell us of the time when there were two living planets in our own solar system. [Given this, why are we even looking outside our system to see if there is life on other planets?]  The other one, which I call priori-Mars, had been in a Venus-like orbit for 4.7 billion years, up until about 6000 years ago.  This planet was then ejected from its ancient orbit by the rampaging proto-Venus, just after its birth from an enormous impact on Jupiter.  This is why Venus is still so hot – not due to a greenhouse effect.  Therefore Venus, which now occupies the same orbit as the living priori-Mars, is well inside the habitable zone.

As has consistently been the case, NASA engineers will conduct another successful mission, delivering beautiful data, but the astrophysical community, stuck in their uniformitarian mindset, will interpret it incorrectly – worse yet, they will add even more faulty ideas to the text books, poisoning the intellects of yet another generation.

Astrophysicists generally believe that the Moon formed in orbit some four billion years ago when a planet-sized body crashed into the Earth and a portion of the ejected material coalesced, gradually drifting out to its current orbit. But several ancient records imply that the Moon was not always present. In Job 25:5 the grandeur of the Lord who “makes peace in the heights” is praised and the time is mentioned “before (there was) a moon and it did not shine.” Also in Psalm 72:5 it is said: “Thou wast feared since (the time of) the sun and before (the time of) the moon, a generation of generations.

Based on these references, I maintain that the Moon was captured into its present orbit during the Younger Dryas (YD), which is dated typically from 12,700 and 11,500 years Before the Present (BP). Although the onset and conclusion of the YD involved major changes on the Earth, there is evidence of a number of intermediary encounters during the YD, each of which may have contributed to the reduction of the Moons orbit.

The ‘capture theory’ has been discounted by modern astrophysicists, using the argument that there is no mechanism by which the high velocity of the passing Moon could be reduced sufficiently for it to be captured. However, my scenario of catastrophism drawn from ancient myths of many cultures and the Bible, make very clear just such a mechanism. Every one of more than one hundred close planetary encounters that occurred during the Bronze and Iron ages involved reorientations of the spin axis of the mantle of the Earth by thirty degrees or more. These provide an explanation for the earlier capture of the Moon.

A massive body approaching the Earth tidally ‘locks on’ to a large mass anomaly on the mantle, such as the uplifted ‘Tibetan-Himalayan’ complex. Because the mantle ‘floats’ on a several-thousand-kilometer depth of the liquid outer core, its motion is completely isolated from the solid iron core from which the magnetic field of the Earth originates. This is clear from modern deep seismic measurements that show the solid core and mantle are currently revolving at different rates about unique axes.

As the fast moving Moon swept by the Earth it tidally locked onto the Tibetan-Himalayan complex and impulsively torqued the mantle of the Earth so that it began rotating about a completely different axis. The energy expended in shifting the spin axis of the mantle acted as an energy ‘sink’ reducing the Moon’s velocity and enabling its capture. Consistent with this picture, the onset of the YD occurred so rapidly (<10 years) that the Greenland Ice Cores (GRIP) could not resolve it. The onset was characterized by a sudden drop in temperature of 10C, based on trapped atmospheric oxygen isotope ratios, the proxy for temperature.

This rapid shifting of the mantle caused the oceans to flow from their basins across entire continents. Deposits of many millions of dead animals around the world have been dated to this period. A number of species became extinct at that date and great deposits of  bodies have been found lying broken and twisted with those of extant animals. These deposits were immediately covered and soft tissue preserved in a way that can only be explained by the immediate deposition of ocean-floor sediments. Paleontologists wonder at the way in which many bodies, even those of giant mammoths, were torn apart. This was the result of the ocean’s sweeping across the land, described in one ancient account as carrying millions of massive tumbling boulders before them – like the teeth of some giant monster. Moreover, animals normally found only in temperate climates were found quick frozen, indicating that the mantle shift had suddenly cast them above the (new) arctic circle.

Atmospheric methane rapidly increased immediately after the YD onset due to its release from gas hydrates formerly retained within ocean beds. Fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of GISP2 ice on the scale of <5-20 years have revealed rapid changes in the dust content of the atmosphere during the YD. This ‘flickering’ may have been due to volcanic eruptions triggered by additional perigee passes of the Moon which occurred during the YD, each of which probably contributed to the reduction of its orbit. The termination of the YD, characterized by a sudden increase in temperature, is called the YD/Holocene transition, marking the beginning of the geologic period in which we live. This was the second major shift of the mantle spin axis. The very stable temperatures we have experienced since that transition are an unmistakable indication of the stabilizing effect of the Moon in its current orbit. In contrast, the ice ages, which characterized the period prior to the YD onset, exemplified the instability of the Earth’s spin axis prior to the acquisition of the Moon. The slower increase in atmospheric methane which occurred after the YD/Holocene transition, was at least partially due to the establishment of much more abundant life in the new, warmer climate. A lesser release from the ocean beds at that date might be expected due to a lack of recovery time for the gas hydrates after being completely depleted at the onset of the YD.

The capture of the Moon was not a random event. It was an essential part of Yehovah’s great plan for the rejuvenation of the Earth and the establishing of mankind. It was only by virtue of the presence of the Moon in its current orbit, where it subtends exactly the same angle as the Sun, that their combined tidal effect caused the great internal convulsions within priori-Mars enabling its entire atmosphere, oceans and the seeds of innumerable flora to be carried across the 33,000 km to the Earth during the Vedic Period. It is truly amazing that these monumental events have escaped the ken of the modern mind. But this is just another example of Yehovah’s great power – Gen 3:7 “ … [He that] shutteth and no man openeth; … ” It is only as we approach the ‘end times’ that His great effort on behalf of mankind is finally being revealed.

This has been a bitter cold winter so far in the US but the news of last few days tells of the sub-zero cold in Britian also, and I suspect the same is true in continental Europe as well.  I’m sure the global warming lobby considers this just a hickkup in their doomsday prophecy.  But it is interesting that this coincides with an unusually quiet Sun, as shown above.   There is a historical precedent for this connection between a quiet Sun and cold weather.  There was a dearth of sunspots between 1645 and 1715, informally designated the Maunder Minimum, which just happened to coincide with what is known as the Little Ice Age, during which many people died.

During the Maunder Minimum, some winters were so cold that the English Channel froze solid and one could ride a sleigh across.  For a safe sleigh ride, the ice has to be at least four inches thick.  A sustained period of sub-zero temperatures without a thaw was required to freeze ocean water in that manner.  The recent reports from Britian say that sea water near the coast has already frozen.

Whether or not the reader accepts or understands my explanation of the cause of sunspots (below), the important point is that the temperature of the Earth is controlled by forces much greater than environmentalists imagine. It is  wise to build more efficient cars and reduce pollution of the atmosphere but understand that nature will do what it will and mankind is at its mercy.

Scientists today realize that the Coronal Mass Ejections are caused by sunspots.  They do not understand the cause of sunspots, but this does not matter because in either case we are powerless in controlling them.  Sunspots are caused by the decay of highly eccentric orbits of millions of asteroids, which originated from Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in the last 6,000 years.  One obvious clue is that the sunspot period is roughly equal to the period of Jupiter.  These asteroids eventually strike the surface of the Sun, causing sunspots.  The hot charged particles splashed from the surface of the Sun comprise Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), which often strike the Earth’s atmosphere and heat it.  A one year lack of sunspots is of little concern – just a warning of our vulnerability, but a period of over a hundred years, as in the Maunder Minimum, could cause great distress,  In which case we might even have to consider ways of increasing green-house gases.

One cannot help imagining that, along with the financial crisis and the plague of religious fundamentalism, another little ice age could be signaling the onset of the ‘great tribulation.’

In the last fifteen years, I have been led on a great intellectual adventure. Inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision, I began a search of ancient myth for the truth about how recent planetary encounters affected the Earth and mankind. This quest led to the revealing of a sequence of close encounters of Venus, Mars and Mercury with the Earth from about 3700 to 700 BC.  The physics of these encounters, in turn, have led to a completely new perspective on the origins and makeup of all the planets in our solar system.  The intricate detail – how the events were triggered, the number of encounters (100), the separations and final disposal of the planets to safe distances from the Earth and, most importantly, the realization that these encounters resulted in the rejuvenation of the Earth at the expense of the now-barren Mars, has made clear to me the very real intrusions of Yehovah into the world, which are alluded to in the Bible.

Whether by design or not, the failure to understand or accept the 3000 years of cosmic chaos has led modern scientists to completely erroneous concepts of the origin and makeup of the entire solar system. This situation was exquisitely prophesied some 2000 years ago: 1 Cor 1:19-20 KJV) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise?  where is the scribe?  where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
(1 Cor 2:6-7 NIV) We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rules of this age, who are coming to nought. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

To my well-meaning friends, who implore me to exclude any mention of God, in order to ‘be accepted’ in academic circles. Why should I want to be accepted by the scientific community?  They are in error in every respect and my faith has revealed the real truth. There will be no compromise.

The Vedic Period
Roughly 6000 years ago a period of cosmic chaos was triggered by the impact of a giant asteroid or rogue planet on Jupiter. A blazing plasma cloud thousands of times larger than Jupiter itself rebounded and condensed into a new planet, proto-Venus. This flaming proto-planet carried much of the excess energy of the impact into the inner solar system, initiating an ‘organized’ chaos which lasted throughout the Bronze and Iron ages. This single impact and its aftermath explain the origin of all the terrestrial planets in a completely new way, but the most significant fact vis-a-vis dark matter are its implications for the makeup of the giant planets.

Giant Planets
Because of their low average densities, astrophysicists, beginning with Rupert Wildt at Gottengen in 1930, have accepted the notion that Jupiter and Saturn are ‘gas giants,’ comprising exotic states of hydrogen. But the rebound of proto-Venus from the impact on Jupiter witnessed by the earliest generations of mankind, implies that the largest planets in the solar systemare solid bodies comprising a form of matter which is not currently acknowledged. There is considerable observational evidence pointing to Jupiter’s solid nature, but the entire scientific ‘priesthood’ continues to ignore it without a single questioning voice. They explain-away the Great Red Spot as a ‘storm,’ in spite of the fact that it has remained at the same latitude for 350 years. They claim that Jupiter’s great energy excess is ‘primordial’ and no scientist has yet been able to explain the multiple zonal wind bands, the existence of which demand a solid surface below the clouds. Moreover, the Galileo atmospheric probe failed to find the three highly touted cloud layers in its upper atmosphere. Obvious clues to the solid makeup of both Jupiter and Saturn are in ‘plain sight’ of our telescopes andsdeep-space probes. That is, all of their satellites and rings, with the exception of Io, are believed to comprise primarily water-ice, including three of the enormous Galilean ‘moons,’ which are comparable in size to Mercury and the Moon. Where do they think all that water came from? It is so obvious that these all formed as a result of impacts on the primaries (Jupiter and Saturn), which ‘splashed’ their water into orbits around them.  In fact, the enormous Galilean moons were formed by material ejected from Jupiter in the last 6000 years!

Gas Hydrates
The low densities of Jupiter and Saturn do indeed imply the presence of vast amounts of hydrogen, but there is another, solid form in which it is combined with oxygen (water), carbon (methane), and nitrogen (ammonia), the three next most abundant elements in the universe after hydrogen and helium. It is not difficult to determine this material. The continual great abundance of methane on all the giant planets provides an important clue. The obvious candidates are methane gas hydrates, a solid form of water and methane also found beneath the oceans of the Earth, which has been the object of considerable research in recent decades, because of its potential as a future energy source. They are defined as follows:

Natural gas hydrates are solids that form from a combination of water and one or more hydrocarbon or non-hydrocarbon gases. In physical appearance, gas hydrates resemble packed snow or ice.  In a gas hydrate, the gas molecules are “caged” within a crystal structure composed of water molecules. Sometimes gas hydrates are called “gas clathrates”.  Clathrates are substances in which molecules of one compound are completely “caged” within the crystal structure of another.  Therefore, gas hydrates are one type of clathrate.  Per unit volume, gas hydrates contain a tremendous amount of gas. For example, 1 cubic meter of hydrate disassociates at atmospheric temperature and pressure to form 164 cubic meter of natural gas + 0.8 cubic meters of water (Kvenvolden, 1993). [webmineral.com gives the empiracle formula 8(CH4) 46(H2O)].

The natural gas component of gas hydrates is typically dominated by methane, but other natural gas components (e.g., ethane, propane, CO2) can also be incorporated into a hydrate.

Gas hydrates require high pressure and low temperatures, exactly the conditions within the giant planets. The ‘foreign’ molecules, primarily methane, are essential for their formation, in that they support the crystal structure of the water molecules. In addition, evidence suggests that this property allowed the giant planet Jupiter to encapsulate most of the heavy elements in the nascent solar system in its interior as it accreted. The presence of heavy elements is implied by the earliest human observations of proto-Venus condensing from the enormous plasma cloud which rebounded from the impact on Jupiter, 6000 years ago. Recently, a wide range of heavy element spectra were observed in high intensity ‘main events’ which occurred some six minutes after each of the most massive fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted Jupiter’s solid surface. The six minute delays were due to the time required for the towering mushroom clouds to rise above the cloud-tops and become visible.

If Jupiter were pure gas hydrate (assuming no compression), its density would only be 0.80 g/cm3, but the incorporation of most of the heavy elements, plus a small degree of compression in the deep interior, has resulted in its measured average density, 1.33 g/cm^3. In contrast, the average density of Saturn is only 0.6873 g/cm^3, implying that it comprises almost pure methane clathrate with a thick atmosphere inflating its apparent volume. The logical conclusion is that the heavy elements in the nascent solar disk were only blown out to the radius of Jupiter, where, in the form of dust particles, their surfaces acted as catalysts on which primordial atomic hydrogen, H, became molecular hydrogen H2 , and subsequently water ice and methane. Thus each dust grain became the nucleus of ice crystals, many of which adhered to form ‘snowflakes’ and the very familiar tendency of snowflakes to stick to one another made it possible for accretion of the giant planets to begin at the smallest scale – something that the dust particles alone could never do.  Thus there was a beautiful symbiotic relationship between the dust particles and hydrogen, oxygen and carbon that made possible the accretion of the giant planets and the incorporation of all the  heavy elements within Jupiter. This was the only accretion in the solar system.  Scientists believe that Jupiter is almost pure hydrogen and, based on its overall temperature excess, estimate that the core temperature is as high as 25,000 K. In a convective atmosphere they expected to find, at least enough water to form a layer of water-ice clouds touted in all the textbooks, but the cloud layer was not found and the mass spectrometers found very little water in the atmosphere.  The reason is that the water is all frozen in the gas hydrate body of the planet.

Terrestrial Planet Formation
The encapsulation of all the heavy elements within the gas hydrates made possible the later formation of the terrestrial planets by unique impacts on the giant planets, probably Jupiter (although because of its lesser iron content, the Moon might have been born out of Saturn). Based on the example of Venus’ recent birth, the obvious conclusion is that all terrestrial planets rebounded from similar impacts as very hot (>10,000 K) plasma clouds and temporarily lost the much more plentiful lighter elements, in the form of two multi-million-mile long, black comet-tails, as described in the Rig Veda.  These lighter elements, O, C, N, were destined to become the surface layers, oceans and atmosphere of the terrestrial planets. As the proto-planet cooled, it swept up and recaptured these lighter elements in its atmosphere and subsequently on its surface (Venus is still early in this stage). Because water dominates within Jupiter (~ 236 of its 318 Earth-masses are water, based on the formula for gas hydrates given above), the ejected water was sufficient to form vast oceans on the terrestrial planets and because considerable sodium and chlorine were also lost to space, the oceans were salty from the beginning.  This explains two additional mysteries which astrophysicists cannot currently explain – the origin of the vast amount of water in our oceans and why it is salty.

Water, Water Everywhere
The significant point relative to the question of dark matter is that the giant planets comprise primarily water, good old H2O, and therefore vastly more water is present in our solar system than is dreamed of by modern day astrophysicists,  and in every secondary planetary nebula. I estimate the total oxygen in the four giant planets to be approximately 290 Earth masses! This should not be surprising, since oxygen and hydrogen are two of the three most abundant atomic species in the universe.  However, astrophysicists today believe that the only oxygen in the outer solar system is that present as water ice within Uranus, Neptune, the satellites and rings orbiting the giant planets, and the imagined Kuiper Belt objects – perhaps 20 Earth-masses. This enormous difference, 290 versus 20 Earth masses of water, has profound implications.

Two relatively recent discoveries by space telescopes provide additional clues to the watery nature of the universe:
1. In Jan 2007 UC Berkeley astronomers announced that the 12 million year-old red dwarf AU Microscopii is surrounded by a disk with the texture of ‘fluffy snow,’ determined by studying the polarization of the reflected (visible) light. The adjective did not necessarily mean that they thought it was water, only ‘dust.’ I maintain that this was water in its pre-accretion state (snowflakes), as described above, which exhibited no gaseous spectra because of the low vapor pressure of water ice at typical space temperatures.
2. Evidence of water vapor swirling around a nearby star has been seen by the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS), a small radio observatory launched by NASA in 1998. Its sensors have focused on a giant star, designated IRC+10216 (CW Leonis) located 500 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Leo. This is a red giant which is expanding in its death-throes, consuming the planets which once orbited it. The report states:
“’What makes the results we are reporting so unusual is that we have found a cloud of water vapour around a star where we would not ordinarily have expected to find water,’ said Gary Melnick of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ‘It seems that the water vapour comes from icy comets that are melting due to the heat from the star, which is much hotter than our Sun … There must be about four Earth-masses of frozen water around IRC+10216 to produce the vapour cloud we see. [My emphasis]

In order to justify this explanation they estimate that the comets circling CW Leonis have a total mass broadly similar to the original mass of our Solar System’s Kuiper Belt, imagined to be as many as 70,000 icy bodies, however, only 1,000 known icy bodies have been discovered to date, circling our Sun beyond the orbit of Neptune. The emphasized quote reflects modern astrophysicists view of our solar system, i.e. that water is only present in the form of comets, satellites of the giant planets and the icy bodies imagined to exist in the Kuiper Belt. Given that world-view, the large amount of water in CW Leonis is difficult to explain. I maintain that what is happening in CW Leonis is that its expanding red giant star is vaporizing its giant planets, thereby revealing a portion of their enormous water content. This rare event is making visible a vast quantity of water because the heat of the star is converting it to a gaseous form for a brief period, allowing it to be identified by infra-red spectrometers. But most water in space is in the form of invisible ice ‘conglomerates,’ because as soon as the water vapor temperature drops below freezing, molecules combine to form ice particles, the vapor pressure of which is infinitesimal. This means that ice particles do not sublime to release gaseous water vapor, thereby rendering it invisible to spectrometers. In addition, the evidence suggests that these particles combine to form loosely bound conglomerates (comets?) in the weightlessness of space. If clouds of ice particles are optically thick, as in the case of AU Microscopii, they can be imaged by reflected light but the molecules cannot be identified. Astronomers refer to these as dust clouds, but have no idea that they consist mostly of water.  Thus vast clouds of water exist in deep space and remain invisible to our observations.

The Sun
The lack of understanding of the mass of water in our own solar system is carried over to the rest of the universe.    If the giant planets are primarily methane gas hydrates, the mass of water in the solar system planets is close to 325 Earth-masses, as opposed to the current ‘establishment’ estimate of 22 Earth-masses! During the lifetime of the universe, innumerable planetary systems have formed and died. Although early planetary systems probably did not have as much oxygen available at their formation as our own, more and more oxygen has been produced in each star. By the time our Sun formed, a vast abundance of oxygen was present and became incorporated into it. This is evidenced by the vast amount of oxygen in the gas-hydrates of the outer planets, since the solar disk formed in the earliest stages of the Sun. Moreover, assuming the Sun has been producing additional oxygen for 4.5 billion years, it contains vastly more oxygen than imagined by astrophysicists.

It is absolutely amazing how little astronomers know about the Sun, particularly the elemental abundance of oxygen. As recently as 2004 the latest study acknowledged an ‘oxygen crisis,’ meaning that spectroscopic studies cannot measure enough oxygen to be theoretically compatible with heliosiesmology studies. One of the major impediments to the spectrographic study of the Sun lies in another aspect of ‘biblical’ catastrophism.

Tens of thousands of convulsions of priori-Mars, while orbiting only 33,000 km from the Earth, blasted innumerable rocks into space during the Bronze and Iron Ages. A number are 20 km-long ‘potato-shaped’ bodies, now called NEAs and short period comets. The mass of rocks ejected is easily estimated when one considers that the northern third of Mars today is seven kilometers lower than the rest of the planet. Innumerable smaller surface rocks were also ejected. These comprise the most common type of meteorite, called carbonaceous chondrites. ‘Carbonaceous’ derives from the presence of numerous organic compounds, implying they were surface rocks. The ‘chondrules’ are tiny spheres, 0.5 to 2 millimeters in size, composed of olivine and pyroxene, with smaller amounts of glass and iron-nickel metal. These same rocks are spread throughout the inner solar system, comprising the regolith on the near side of the Moon and covering the entire surface of Mercury. But infinitely more have fallen and are still falling toward the Sun. They vaporize in the solar corona, causing (currently unexplained) temperatures of millions of degrees, but their elements remain in the solar atmosphere. Unfortunately, astronomers assume that their absorption spectra represent the elemental abundance within the Sun. To compound their error, they claim that the fact that the spectra of the carbonaceous chondrite meteorites obtained in the laboratory match the absorption spectra of the Sun’s atmosphere, implies that these meteorites are primordial, i.e. that they are the most ancient material out of which the terrestrial planets accreted. There are several problems with their hypothesis.

First – solid rocks, or grains with densities of 2.0 g/cm3 cannot form in the weightlessness of space – they can only form on a planet with a strong gravitational field;  Second – the near-spherical shapes of the tiny chondrules indicate that they were once molten droplets at temperatures >2000 K floating freely in the air. There is no way that such temperatures could be attained just floating in space. These chondrules were the result of continuous volcanic reactions on priori-Mars throughout the Vedic period which sprayed molten rock from the interior in many lava fountains.

Since carbonaceous chondrites are believed to be primordial, astrophysicists assume that their oldest ages give the age of the Sun.  However, since the terrestrial planets are formed by inique impacts on Jupiter, the earliest being priori-Mars (4.5 billion years), the Sun may be much older than currently believed.

The vast amount of oxygen produced in stars during the fifteen billion years since the big bang and blasted into intergalactic space as each one dies, quicky combines with ever-present hydrogen to form water. The elemental abundances within the stars favor the formation of water over all other molecules when they die and this becomes incorporated into subsequent generations of stars. Much of this water would be expected to be floating around within galaxies where the stars lived and died, consistent with the concentrations of dark matter in the vicinity of galaxies. As a result, I suggest that the ‘dark matter,’ the ‘invisible’ mass infusing each galaxy is primarily water-ice crystals, or more probably loosely bound conglomerations of ice crystals, which form in the frozen weightlessness of interstellar space.

WIMPS Spotted!
Dark matter was originally imagined to comprise exotic new types of particles, called ‘WIMPS’ (weakly interacting massive particles), that were possibly large but undetectable – maybe even floating under our noses. It is with great humility that I can announce to the world that WIMPS have been observed, not in distant galaxies but right in the vicinity of the Earth. The discoverer, who would rather not be identified in the present context, is Louis Frank, a scientist at the University of Iowa. In ultraviolet images taken by the NASA Polar satellite he discovered a vast multitude of 20 to 40-ton, house-sized comets falling to Earth at a rate of 25,000 per day. Because modern astrophysics has no explanation for this great mass of water right ‘under our noses,’ Prof. Frank has been vilified and ostracized by the scientific community – a tendency with which I am quite familiar. When this controversy became public, I emailed Prof. Frank, in order to explain the source of the water, but because of his great desire to be accepted by the scientific ‘community,’ the last thing he wanted was to associate himself with my extremely radicle catastrophism. At that date I had not yet considered any connection between the water in the solar system and dark matter. I explained that this water, which pervades the inner solar system, is left over from the creation of proto-Venus , only 6000 years ago.  However, due to the considerations stated above, I now believe that Louis Frank’s small comets are local examples of the form of WIMPS, which pervade the galaxies, either within planetary nebulae or in interstellar space. The significant attributes of these WIMPS are that they are low density conglomerates of water which, in spite of their massive influx to the Earth, have remained invisible to all our instruments and telescopes up to 1997, indeed, the presence of which is still vehemently denied by most scientists. Based on the number actually observed in a limited space and time, Prof. Frank estimates that at their current rate these comets would raise the ocean levels one inch every 20,000 years, no doubt dealing the global warming lobby a serious blow. The excess water in interstellar space is in the same form, i.e. ordinary water and also completely invisible, reinforcing the fact that this is the mysterious ‘Dark Matter.’

(1 Cor 1:27-29 KJV) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the … mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his  presence [so that no one may boast before him].

Based on the following article on the National Geographic website,

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/12/081204-jupiter-core-juno.html

planetary scientists continue to be concerned about the inadequacy of their current theories concerning the giant planets,  Jupiter and Saturn.
Unfortunately, their attempts to improve it are sadly inadequate.  They just can’t get beyond the outdated ‘gas giant’ concept.

I have refined my ideas concerning Jupiter and Saturn in the last few months based primarily on the difference in mean density of the two.  They both comprise methane gas hydrates, a solid material resembling packed ice which forms only at high pressures and low temperatures in the presence of large amounts of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon (as methane), which on Earth  has a density of 0.8 g/cm^3.  This fits quite well with the relative abundances of the elements  in the solar system: H(1) 700,000, He(4) 275,000, O(16) 5920, C(12) 3032, (surprisingly) Fe(56) 1169,  N(14) 1105  (see below).  An enormous quantity of hydrogen was obviously lost early in the  nascent planetary nebula.

Gas hydrates comprise ‘cages’ of water molecules which encapsulate foreign moledules, primarily methane.  The abundances are consistent with the formation of methane gas hydrate.  But the ‘cages’ of  Jupiter’s gas hydrates also encapsulate most of the heavy elements in the solar system. Saturn’s mean density is only 0.6873  g/cm^3, less than pure gas hydrate, implying that its  body is almost pure methane gas hydrate, with a thick atmosphere which inflates its apparent volume.   The density of Jupiter is a ‘whopping’ 1.33 g/cm^3 – the difference representing the presence of the heavy elements present within it.  This and the ancient texts about the birth of Venus imply that all  terrestrial planets were born out of Jupiter.  The rings and large satellites of Saturn probably resulted  from impacts as did Jupiter’s.  Their composition, i.e. primarily water ice, is further evidence of the  lesser concentration of heavy elements on Saturn.  It has always amazed me that modern scientists don’t realize that the satellites of these bodies consist of material splashed from the primaries by impacts.  For example, one recently suggested that the rings of Saturn are the result of the collision of two comets in proximity to the planet.

When a large impact occurs on Jupiter sufficient heavy elements are blasted into space in a cloud of plasma to form the solid body of a terrestrial planet. It appears that the large fraction of iron plays a major role in this process, immediately forming a fluid gravitational core which holds many heavier elements, while its powerful radiation helps drive the lighter elements away into inter planetary space. Much  greater abundances of lighter elements are also incorporated initially in the plasma cloud but most  with < 20 amu are evaporated into the inner solar system, where they remain for milennia until they  are recaptured into the atmosphere and eventually to the surface of the proto-planet as it cools (and by extant terrestrial planets, like the Earth a la Louis Frank’s ‘comets’).  Thus the great abundance of  the lighter elements, particularly water, eventually provide the oceans on the new planet and the fact  the sodium and chlorine also  have densities less than 20 amu, explains why the oceans are salty from the get-go. The large abundance of nitrogen goes into the atmosphere to mediate the oxygen content.  Everything seems to fit a great sceme – I wonder who designed it?

‘Scientists’ today cannot even explain the origin of the oceans and why they are salty.  The notion that all of the water was delivered by trillions of comets is now all the more ridiculous based on findings that comets are essentially rocky bodies containing aquifers with a small amount of water. (These were ejected from priori-Mars within the last 6000 years and are not primordial.)  Open your minds and embrace the infinitely more complex and exciting solar system revealed in my books Firmament, Chaos and Peleh: Hidden Knowledge and on my website: www.firmament-chaos.com

Given that Jesus admittedly spoke in parables, why do creationists insist on their literal translation of Genesis?  Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning” – may refer to the creation of the Earth 3.9 billion years ago but the ‘beginning’ may refer to mankind’s time on Earth, for which the Bible is a written record.  Then after an indeterminate period of time, Genesis 1:2 reads “And the Earth was without form and void” – this is a questionable translation.  It should read “And the Earth became confounded and empty.”  This is a description of the state of the Earth in the immediate aftermath of two close passes of proto-Venus, which was born out of an enormous impact on Jupiter slightly less than 6,000 years ago (4000 BC). The Great Red Spot still marks the impact site on Jupiter.

As it swept by the Earth, proto-Venus tidally latched-on to the Tibetan-Himalayan complex and overturned the mantle of the Earth causing the oceans to flow across entire continents completely changing the terrain and flooding vast low-lying areas – thus the Earth was “confounded and empty.”   The Earth remained covered with thick clouds from the blazing proto-Venus, possibly for years, in combination with the smoke from every volcano on Earth.  Therefore “darkness was on the face of the deep”, but after a year or more this smoke cleared, [Genesis 1:3] “ ... and there was light.”

Within a decade or two the rampaging proto-Venus ejected the most ancient terrestrial planet, priori-Mars, from its interior orbit, similar to that of Venus today.  This planet became captured in a geosynchronous orbit only 33,000 km above the Tibetan-Himalayan complex.  It was the biblical firmament, an enormous solid body, mostly green due to its lush vegetation.  When captured, all the water in its northern hemisphere was tidally attracted to its north pole which remained pointed toward the Earth.  Due to the same tidal force of the Earth, subsurface rock beneath the north pole of priori-Mars was gradually melted and drawn up through the waters at its north pole, eventually extending above the waters.  This process was described in Genesis 1:6 “And God made the firmament (raqiya) and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. … Genesis … 1:8 “And God called the firmament heaven … .“  All ancient cultures experienced the fall of many iron meteorites as the result of convulsions within priori-Mars, therefore the use of the Hebrew word raqiya for the firmament, which implies an expanse of metal.

Genesis 1:9 probably describes the subsiding of the flooding on Earth caused by proto-Venus: “And God said, Let the waters under the heaven (on Earth?) be gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear.”

Genesis 1:15 “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light to the Earth.”  As the clouds cleared, the Sun, Moon and stars appeared in the sky, but a number of volcanos also blazed away on the surface of priori-Mars, which appeared like stars and were called the ‘circum polar stars’ in many ancient cultures because of the wheel-like rotation of priori-Mars.  Also the orbiting  priori-Mars appeared 500 times the area of the full Moon and as a result shed considerable reflected sunlight on the Earth.

The scorching and flooding caused by two closely spaced proto-Venus passes killed 99.9% of the sub-human hominid species that occupied the Earth at that date.  Archaeologists believe this was a human culture (Ghassulian in the Middle East) and fail to recognize how complete their destruction was. They designate this as the beginning of the Bronze Age, dating it at 3300 BC, but the application of tree-ring corrections to the radiocarbon dating places the correct date very close to 4000 BC.

Suddenly priori-Mars, previously quite distant from Earth, was only 33,000 km from the surface of the Earth, and given that the oldest Mars rocks (meteorites) are 800 million years older than the oldest Earth rocks, the life on priori-Mars could have been far more advanced than any on Earth at the time.  Considering that the sub-human hominid species on Earth up to that date were essentially all killed by the proto-Venus overturnings, made possible the creation and propagation of an entire new race on Earth with little or no genetic competition.  The following biblical passages allude to this process.

(Gen 1:26-27 KJV) “And God (‘elohyim) said, Let us make man in our image … So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”  Quite notable in this passage is the plural form of ‘elohyim, the meaning of which is: ‘gods in the ordinary sense’ [H430].  Some Christian theologians claim that the plural form refers to the triune God – the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit, but why not the Kingdom of God, which must truly be a plurality, i.e. God’s first fruits.  A later verse, Genesis 2:7 reads “And the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground … ”, implying that mankind (Hebrew Adam) was formed by genetically modifying the few survivors of the proto-Venus destructions around the world, since beings are said to go from “dust to dust“ in the Bible.

Thus the beginning of the Bronze Age coincided with the proto-Venus destructions and the creation of the human race.  The 300 year Bronze Age I (silent, or preurban period), from which no artefacts have been found, was the time required for the repopulation of the Earth by mankind and his ‘training’.  This was evidenced by the sudden rise of a number of great civilizations in the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt in BA II, marking the advent of the first truly intelligent species.

Although it is not yet understood by the world, all of the life-giving resources originally present on the living planet, priori-Mars, were captured during the 3000 years of cosmic chaos in order to revitalize the sickly Earth during the Bronze and Iron ages.  This included all of its water, atmosphere and the seeds of innumerable plants, which fell along with vegetable matter in the form of manna.  This transfer is evidenced by the complete lack of these resources on Mars today, which was the mantle, or outer shell, of priori-Mars.  God’s hand in these cosmic events was reaffirmed by Isaiah’s prophecy, who lived at the time the planetary chaos ended, around 700 BC.

Isaiah 66:22  For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will [do] make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

This so-called catastrophism represented the Common Grace of God in action, of which the entire academic community is willingly ignorant.  Their uniformitarian attitude, i.e. their refusal to believe in the intervention of God in the world, was prophesied by Peter 2000 years ago.

[2 Peter 3:3-7]  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Did God create the Earth 6000 years ago? No. But He did create Venus at that time in order to trigger the cosmic chaos which rejuvenated the Earth.  Venus’ interior is still liquid rock, but will eventually provide a haven for life.  This creation was done through the perfect knowledge of his physical laws, and we can gain an unprecedented knowledge of the Earth, mankind and the planets by understanding the catastrophic events of the recent past.

“There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy.” William Shakespeare

Astrophysicists have difficulty explaining the fact that some 15% of near-earth asteroids (NEAs) exist in pairs, because they believe NEAs are bodies deflected by collisions within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They reason that such collisions would result in the pieces flying off in completely different directions, not resulting in pairs. In order to solve this conundrum, Kevin Walsh of the Obervatoire de la Cote D’Azur in NIce, has recently proposed that sunlight splits asteroids into two!  His idea is based on the even more inane YORP effect, by which asteroids are imagined to be spun-up as a result of the absorption and re-emission of sunlight, acting over billions of years.  Actually there is a related phenomenon which is even more difficult for modern-day astrophysicists to explain.  This is the existence of entire families of asteroids with common orbital elements, of which the asteroid pairs are a special case. In fact, meteor showers are families of tiny asteroids, all in similar orbits, which intersect the orbit of the Earth at known dates.

The truth concerning NEAs is not to be found in modern text books, mathematical models and scientific papers, but in five thousand-year-old observations of their origins, such as the Rig Veda. These ancient documents describe the presence of a planet, called Indra in the RV, which remained stationary in the heavens above Mt. Kailas (in the Trans-Himalayas) in a geosynchronous orbit. It appeared 500 times the size of the full Moon. The Vedas describe many aspects of this huge body, but I will only describe those that resulted in the NEAs. This planet, which I call priori-Mars, orbited the Earth once a day and on occasions passed rapidly through alignments with the Moon, which although it was much farther away, caused great convulsions in the interior of priori-Mars. This resulted in the ejection of enormous rock bodies from the interior of priori-Mars through volcanic vents into space. These ejections often took the form of a number of bodies being ejected in rapid-fire from the same vent, which sent them all into similar orbits, subsequently forming asteroid families. Bodies ejected from near the surface, which contained aquifers, were seen by the ancients to leave vapor trails, were called asuras, because they trailed tails, i.e. had ‘breaths, (the root asu implies breath).  They are now called comets while the hotter bodies from deeper in the interior, were called suras (glowing, later translated as gods), now having cooled are called asteroids. The streams of hot, rapid-fire asteroids are described as follows in the Rig Veda:

As these (streams) shine, they are called ambhāmsi. This root bhā is used by the intelligent in the senses of pervading and shining, and the male, Prajapati, declares (the fact).

Thus NEAs originated from priori-Mars, not the main asteroid belt. They originated from that planet as it orbited the Earth less than 6,000 years ago. In fact, the Earth and the entire solar system we see today are the result of one hundred close planetary encounters with the Earth in the last 6,000 years.

These were not random events, but were initiated for the rejuvenation of the Earth by Yehovah, using his laws.   After one hundred separate fifteen-year encounters, during which all of its water and oxygen was captured by the Earth, priori-Mars was safely disposed of when its solid iron core exited the planet through the Valles Marineris and drifted into the inner solar system to become the ‘planet’ Mercury and the outer shell (mantle) collapsed in on the remaining liquid core to become the ‘planet’ Mars.

“There are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio.”

Astrophysicists have had a field day on the photographs and data recently returned by the NASA MESSENGER space probe to Mercury, publishing 11 papers in a recent issue of Science.  Unfortunately, every one of their conclusions is incorrect.  It is truly a shame that NASA engineers pull off so many precise missions only to have the data completely misinterpreted by ’scientists.’

One glaring error is their conclusion that volcanism helped shape the tiny planet.  This idea is based on the perfectly spherical shape of the material within impact craters.  This did happen on Venus relatively recently, since Venus is a new planet with a roiling hot interior covered only by a thin crust of basalt.  Larger impacts punched holes in the thin crust and the boiling hot rock just beneath immediately flowed up into the crater to the normal surface level.  But the reason for the similar shape within the impact craters on Mercury is fundamentally different.

Mercury is a solid iron sphere that formed as the inner core of the most ancient terrestrial planet over the last 4.5 billion years.  Only 2,700 years ago that planet, while very close to the Earth split into two when its solid core was pulled out through its mantle by tidal forces of Venus and the Moon.  At that date it swooped low around the Earth before being deflected into the inner solar system.  It was called Hermes (Greek), Hathor (Egyptian) and Mercury (Roman).  This low fast orbit was the origin of its great speed in ancient myth.  Also, the Greeks said that Hermes built a lyre, because the hot glowing sphere was marred by a series of straight, parallel lines that resembled the strings of such an instrument.  These were grooves gouged by the rocks lining the Valles Marineris on Mars as it exited.  Mars was the mantle of the ancient planet.

The enormous mass of rock ejected from the northern third of the ancient planet, which I call priori-Mars, during the Bronze and Iron Ages is spread throughout the inner solar system.  It comprises all Near Earth Asteriods, comets, meteorites, the lunar maria, regolith and the similar regolith that has accumulated on the surface of Mercury in the last 2,700 years since it settled into its current orbit.  Thus, Mercury is a perfectly spherical iron body, on which have fallen innumerable rocks and dust from the same planet in which it was the core.   The larger rocks impacting Mercury form shallow craters in the regolith already on its surface but cannot penetrate the solid iron body of Mercury.  This is the reason for the perfectly spherical shapes revealed within the craters.  There is no volcanism on Mercury.  It is a solid sphere of iron with a sprinkling of regolith.

Astrophysicists believe that Mercury has a thicker, rocky, outer layer, similar to Earth, because its overall density is slightly less than iron.  But this density is similar ot the solid core of the Earth, i.e. slightly less than that of pure iron – another fact still unexplained by astrophysicists.  Some suggest that there is sulfur mixed in with the iron, but because S is so dense, there would have to be a lot of it, and this is not a popular idea.  The astrophysicists seem ignorant of super-high pressure, diamond anvil experiments in which hydrogen was found to move easily and reversibly into the iron lattice, forming a layered structure of FeH.  The experimenters noted that the structure of thsi FeH resembled that of some superconductors,

Thus the slightly lower than iron density of Mercury is an indication that deep in its interior, where the pressure is still high, some of the original FeH still exists and, because it is a superconductor, is the origin of Mercury’s internal magnetic field.  This will become clear if its magnetic field is determined to be a perfect dipole, because the mechanism currently accepted for the origin of such magnetic fields both on Mercury and the Earth, the so-called dynamo effect, cannot produce a perfect dipole field.

Keep tuned for the future encounters of MESSENGER with Mercury.  There is great potential for new revelations.

(Prov 25:2 KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Does God conceal things? If so what could they be? It would not be trivial things because He does not deal in the trivia of mankind. By the ‘trivia of mankind’ I refer to the deepest matters of academia, not the trivia invented to occupy the time of the dumbed-down masses. All matters dealt with in the universities by the erudite professors are mere trivia to the Lord Yehova. The only reason we have science and engineering, literature and language is because God gave us a tiny glimpse into what are much more profound truths, enabling us to see only the most elementary level. Unfortunately, mankind’s arrogant response to this gift has been to claim that God is no longer necessary, indeed that He does not even exist. The uniformitarion paradigm which governs all aspects of academia is essentially a denial of Yehova’s great miracles – His intrusians into the ‘natural’ world. What is amusing about their attitude is that God knew, before the beginning of time, that the ‘intelligencia’ would deny his existence.

(2 Peter 3:3-7) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men

This 2000-year-old passage prophesied that the scoffers (academics) would have a uniformitarian philosophy. Their belief is clearly stated: “ … for since our fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation … .” They do not acknowledge that catastrophic events, such as the flood of Noah and the parting of the Red Sea, ever took place. In truth, God’s ‘intrusions,’ during the Bronze and Iron Ages, produced the Earth and the planets which we enjoy today. Peter condemns the scoffers even more strongly when he says “ … they willingly are ignorant of … “ [the intervention of God in the world]. That is, they refuse to acknowledge God’s sovereignty. A number of other biblical passages follow the same theme, that God has hidden the truth from tens of thousands of academic ‘scoffers’:

(1 Cor 1:19-20 KJV) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

(1 Cor 1:27-29 KJV) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the … mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence [so that no one may boast before him].

(1 Cor 2:6-7 NIV) We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rules of this age, who are coming to nought. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

In fact, the details of God’s intrusions into the natural world have been present in thousands of books in every library and book store in the world for hundreds of years – in plain sight. It has been through mythology that this great store of knowledge has now been revealed. Many academics agree that the greatest potential for breakthroughs in human knowledge attains when it is found that two extensive bodies of knowledge, originally thought to be unrelated, are suddenly found to bear on the same subject. Unfortunayely, the academics fail to accept this breakthrough which resulted from the correspondence of Earth/planetary science and ancient myth/Bible.

Moreover, the failure to understand that the cosmic events described in mythology were set in motion by God in order to replenish the Earth as well as to implement the biblical miracles, has led to a great deficit in our current knowledge over a vast range of subjects, such as ancient history, paleontology, anthropology, climate, literature, religion, language, and the cosmology of the Earth and all the planets in our solar system.

One would think that the truth, which I have published in the last ten years, would enthrall not only the academics and anyone else with a deep-seated desire to understand the world in which we live and our exciting potential destiny. But the sequence of events, which lasted some 3,000 years, was so fantastic, compared to the present quiescent state of the solar system, that most cannot believe it. To me, those events are merely an indication of how great is the power and knowledge of Yehovah, and how real and present He is.

Just as God has hidden this knowledge, He has also promised that it would be revealed – but only upon the approach of the ‘end times,’ thus the reference to “the last days” in the first quote above. Another quote ‘hidden’ in Revelations sounds a similar theme:

(Rev 3:6-12 KJV) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

The term ”He that shutteth and no man openeth” is a clear statement that God can unequivicably hide any information He wishes from mankind. Conversely, the statement “I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it” clearly means that He has made it possible for one man, “the angel of the church in Philadelphia”, to discover the truth about God’s intervention in the world, hidden for some 2,700 years. Those of “the synagogue of Satan” are the academic athiests, the scoffers, who declare that no such events took place and that God does not exist. The words “I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation (testing), which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell on the earth” refers to the judgement day and “Behold, I come quickly” implies this will be very soon, in our lifetimes.

(Prov 25:2 KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
