Trying to find the Ark?

Watched the 2015 mystery film, Finding Noah. Still trying to figure out why one of the guys interviewed said 4,360 years under the ice on Mount Ararat. I am not sure why that number wouldn't probably be 11,600 years, regardless of any other timelines people believe about planet Earth, or any other span of time. Anyhow, civilization on Earth very likely did begin again on top of Ararat. The expeditions weren't successful in finding any evidence, but it looks like they had a good time searching. Watch the film! I enjoyed it. Who needs faith when one can have certainty? It seems like people searching for certainty should very often be prepared for failure. Eschatology is one of those areas in which many seem to be searching for certainty. Well, I believe it’s no longer faith once one knows for certain. Hope you enjoyed my little review. Blessings!

Holodomor?

 

Now a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph

- Exodus 1: 8

 

I've always been fascinated by this foregoing verse. Why? It's amazing how quickly people forget, seemingly. Even forgetting that if it wasn't for that certain someone (Joseph), they would have all starved to death from a seven-year famine, but instead were able to prepare. Of course, we are not told in Scriptures exactly how much time passed since the last chapter in the Book of Genesis, and this first chapter in the Book of Exodus where this verse is found. However, and regardless, this small fact, a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph, was the main reason for 500 years of slavery and oppression which followed. This becomes very clear when one reads further on in the chapter and book. My point is simply that as time goes by, people seem to forget, and thus eventually not know.

Interestingly enough, today we make sure no one forgets the holocaust, which is another horrific historical event involving the same demographic group (the Jewish people). I suppose "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." The aforementioned being said, I wonder how many today know about the Holodomor, and has it already been erased by the global left? Will it eventually not be known? It seems to be in obscurity, like the Armenian genocide. Who knows how many other historical events are no longer known because admission of them taking place would diminish another agenda from being promoted succesfully?

There was even another famine before the previously mentioned, as well. The question one should be asking is why not so long after the 1917 Revolution were they managing the economy, so badly. Millions died! Although, the elite and communist aristocracy was eating quite well, and had abundance. I recommend watching the 2019 film about Welsh journalist Gareth Jones titled: Mr. Jones. I am certain many who have been deceived by the left already probably think the phrase communist aristocracy sounds like an oxymoron. If that’s you or someone you know, I recommend reading Milovan Djilas’ book, The New Class, to get informed about the sad reality from someone who was in the higher ranks of the party at one time. His biography alone may surprise. Blessings!
