Mystery Mystery: Genesis

Chapter 19

Lot entertains holy men—The men of Sodom seek to abuse Lot’s guests and are smitten with blindness—Lot is sent out of Sodom—The Lord rains brimstone and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah—Lot’s daughters preserve his seed in the land.

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4 ¶ But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as isgood in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellowcame in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 ¶ And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mockedunto his sons in law.

15 ¶ And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

17 ¶ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 ¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrahbrimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 ¶ And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 ¶ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

30 ¶ And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. 😀I love basketball and soccer there is wide variety of sports.

Hop Devil: +Ramon Acosta it means the main stream narrative isn't true. I've proven that here.

For all the aspersions you cast from you're lofty intellectual perch you don't seem to understand the obvious.

Ramon Acosta: +Hop Devil Oh yeah, the obvious is a conspiracy it’s so obvious...

Karl Evans: +Mystery Mystery bullshit.

ming Li: UK Lawmakers Concerned about Forced Organ Harvesting in China
October 24, 2018 | By a British practitioner

() On Tuesday October 16, the UK Parliament held a briefing on organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China. Hosted by Jim Shannon, MP and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion of Belief, this was the third briefing within the last 12 months on the issue of China's organ harvesting situation. Presenting evidence at the briefing were Lord Alton of Liverpool, Member of Parliament and member of the House of Lords, senior medical professionals and leading academics.

Jim Shannon MP

Lord Alton of Liverpool

During the event, ETAC (the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China) announced that there will be an independent people's tribunal beginning in December to inquire into organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience. The aim of the tribunal will be to assess and look at all the available evidence which has posed unanswered questions, cause for concern and the belief among activists that large scale illegal organ transplant activity has and continues to take place in China.

Tuesday's event heard troubling accounts from Dr. Harold King, of DAFOH (Doctor's Against Forced Organ Harvesting), where he explained the similarities between the persecution of Falun Gong and a form of “cold genocide” – a slow and often subtle multi-dimensional destruction of a group over a long span of time. Falun Gong has been persecuted in China since 1999, and Dr. King discussed the persecution from the perspective of a genocide, citing the declared intent of former Chinese Communist Party Chairman Jiang Zemin to “destroy” Falun Gong, and the steps that have been taken to normalize this crime against humanity within Chinese society.

Lord Alton of Liverpool and Dr. David Nicholl, consultant neurologist, Honorary Senior Lecturer and human rights activist, raised concerns about an exhibition called “Real Bodies,” which was recently on display in Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre. The shared concerns stem from the belief that the corpses which have been trafficked into and out of the UK for a commercial exhibition are actually those of unwilling prisoners of conscience. Lord Alton questioned, “Why is Britain allowing the bodies of unknown Chinese citizens – who may have been victims of torture, human rights violations, persecution or organ theft – to be turned into a travelling circus?”

How Far Will Dems Go in Investigating Trump Inc.?

If the Republicans could spend 40 months investigating Bill Clinton's Christmas cards, and two years and four months investigating nothing in Benghazi, surely real, extensive criminal behavior deserves even more attention.

“I’m not trying to do anything extraordinary,” {Rep. Elijah} Cummings told me of the letters {Pending notifications to White House of investigations}. “I’m trying to do what the Constitution says I’m supposed to do.”

And this tidbit on unreleased, closed door testimony already taken: "Referring to the unreleased transcripts, Swalwell told me: “I just wonder how many more crimes are just sitting in the basement of the House Intelligence Committee that Mueller doesn’t know about because he hasn’t seen that they lied to us.”

This to the Trump FEMA head: “I guarantee you, Administrator Long,” Cummings said, raising his hand and pointing a long, knobby finger, “this hearing will not be your last before this committee.”

These Democrats Will Soon Have the Power to Investigate the White House. How Far Will They Go?
