"And it was commanded them [demonic
locusts] that they ... hurt ... only those men which
have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was
given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented
five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he
striketh a man. And in those days
shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and
death shall flee from them." (Revelation
9:4-6; Note: I have believed for a long time that this chapter has to do
with Pre-Flood [Gen 6] genetic manipulation. Now it appears that it
may have to do with modern genetic manipulation also.)
ORGANISM FOUND
AT SRS AMAZES SCIENTIFIC WORLD

One of the world's tiniest celebrities hails from one of the planet's
toughest neighborhoods.
Dr. Christopher
Bagwell and
Charlie
Milliken look at the radiation-resistant bacteria at Savannah River
National Laboratory.
The organism, found inside tanks at Savannah River Site, is able to
rapidly rebuild its DNA.
Its story began a couple of years ago, when scientists fished a strange
slime off a probe used to examine decades-old, high-level nuclear waste
inside tanks stored at Savannah River Site.
"At first, nobody was sure what it was," said Christopher
"Kitt" Bagwell, a senior scientist at the top-secret Savannah
River National Laboratory.
Turns out, the greenish-orange slime was alive.
The more it was studied, the more it enamored scientists who were
fascinated with its ability to survive radiation doses thousands of times
greater than what is considered lethal to humans.
"Finding an organism in such a toxic environment is very
unexpected," said Dr. Bagwell, who will present a paper about the
bacteria - dubbed
kineococcus
radiotolerans - to the American Society for Microbiology next
month.
In addition to thriving in the face of normally-lethal radiation, the
organism also demonstrates remarkable survival characteristics in terms
of its DNA.
Humans and most organisms can tolerate few breaks in DNA molecules, he
said, but kineococcus radiotolerans has the ability to reassemble
itself.
"With this organism, we can take an intact DNA molecule, blast it
into little pieces, and in five to six hours the organism is restored and
growing normally again," Dr. Bagwell said.
Dr. Bagwell and others who have studied the organism hope further
research will yield clues that could aid in medical research, cancer
studies and other areas.
"There's a lot of excitement about this organism because of its
ability to withstand tremendous abuse," he said. "What we don't
know is how it does these things - and what more it can do. That's the
direction we're going now."

The Lord Jesus said, "... Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but
the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows." (Matthew
24:4-8) The "sorrows" here are like those of a woman when
she about to delivered her child. God told Eve that He would
"greatly multiply [her] sorrow and [her] conception; in sorrow [she
would] bring forth children" (Genesis 3:16). Similarly a
"sign of [Christ's] coming, and of the end of the world"
(Matthew 24:3) will be as a woman's birth pains increase as time for
delivery nears. All five of the things in Matthew 24:4-7 (false
christs, wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes) will be simultaneously
increasing as the time of the end draws near. Research shows that
this is in fact occurring in our lifetime.
