I watched that vid Slimbo.....can someone give the context for the statement from Don Pettit at the end of the video. (Never seen that before).
He says "I would go to the moon in a nanosecond,the problem is we don't have the technology to do that anymore....we used to but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again"
Can someone elaborate?

Common Figure of Speech/Colloquialism?
by rstrats in1. the messiah said that three nights would be involved with his time in the "heart of the earth".. 2. there are some who believe that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week.. 3. of those, there are some who believe that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb.. 4. however, those two beliefs allow for only 2 nights to be involved.. 5. to account for the discrepancy, some of the above say that the messiah was using common figure of speech/colloquial language of the time, i.e., that it is was common to forecast or say that a day or a night would be involved with an event when no part of the day or no part of the night could occur.. 6. in order for someone to legitimately say that it was common, they would have to know of more that 1 example to make that assertion.. 6. for the purpose of this topic, i would like to ask if there are any 6th day of the week crucifixion advocates who think the messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language of the period?.

rstrats....the cycle is the reason for all of the bible stories....xmas is the end of the yearly cycle and the beginning of the new cycle....the old sun dies on Dec 22nd (winter solstice) and around three days later the new cycle starts....the newborn,weak sun starts its journey around Galilee.....which means "circuit".....it is the story of the sun and the daily/yearly cycle.

Sources of John's vivid imagery
by Doug Mason inin common with other apocalyptic writings, such as daniel and 1 enoch, john’s letter employs vivid, memorable imagery.
as with the other elements of his apocalypse (revelation), john draws on existing sources for his material.. meanings inferred from the images need to keep the following firmly in mind:.
1. the symbols had to have meaning for and be clearly understood by his immediate intended hearers.. 2. john intended that these images encourage those hearers to “overcome”, then and there.. 3. john anticipated that the coming of jesus was imminent, “soon”.. it is my belief that the images were intended to depict earthly opposition (rome and apostate jews) as well as heavenly opposition (wars in heaven involving satan).. the writers/compilers of daniel also employed vivid imagery.

Jesus was the light bearer....he came from above.....and "fell" into our realm to help and enlighten us.
He was Lucifer.....which merely means "bearer/carrier of light"

Jesus is the morning star....or Lucifer......it's all perspective........ask the "righteous" pharisees if Jesus was from God or satan...
Satan is the opposite of the status quo......very needed..........from pain comes gain.....from "satan" comes wisdom.
We are all Satan to the "righteous" watchtower society.....to a mouse...a cat is satan....yet the same cat sits on our lap and purrs.
Satan isn't a real being.....it only means opposition.
If only the watchtower would consider the words of all of us "satans".....they would learn......however they choose to remain in the darkness......and how great that darkness is.

The six days of creation are the six months of the royal arch.
Look at the start of the "arch"....it starts in the sign of Aries.....this is the "DAWN" of the year.......where the sun passes over the horizon....before that the earth is in darkness......whether in the daily cycle or yearly cycle.
Then when the sun passes over the threshold.... (day)horizon/(year)equator.....then light has returned........so let there be light..... "Fiat Lux"....then we have the six "days" of creation...the six zodiac signs above in the royal arch......and at the autumnal equinox (the seventh day)......it all stops......or "god" rests......and the earth goes into darkness and decay once more......until next spring that is.
