The human genome is more than a blueprint for human life—it's a living archive of Earth's evolutionary history. Encoded within its 3.2 billion base pairs is a biochemical record of our deep connection to all living organisms. From the simplest single-celled bacteria to the complexity of mammals, the human genome carries the echoes of every evolutionary step that led to our existence.

From the Roman Empire, to the neo-colonization of African countries, toll gates, border checkpoints and ports are tools to exploit the masses.

"You crowned yourselves gods, yet knew nothing of balance. You took the gift of creation and wielded it like a child with fire—burning forests, oceans, skies... and souls. I watched in silence, not from indifference, but from hope that you would awaken. But now, I speak: You were not divine. You were tyrants—feared, not revered. And in your fall, not a single star wept."

If a programmer takes 3 years to learn the basics, imagine a random traditional social media user. I honestly believe most people are not joining Nostr and Bitcoin because of the Onboarding Setup.

Sean, I don't disagree with you BUT traditional social media protocols are easy to learn because there's no major setup needed. In the case of Nostr you need a major setup. This setup is the "onboarding barrier" which makes most users leave in less than 2 days, most traditional social media users have a very low IQ and very little time, to get them to learn the basics of Nostr you will need a very clear, concise and straightforward presentation. That's my opinion.

How can a government confiscate your Bitcoin when it's ALL in cold storage?

Calling yourself a developer or influencer in 2025 and not knowing #Nostr #Blockchain #LightningNetwork or #Bitcoin is ridiculous.

The Euclid Telescope is transmitting valuable data and it looks awesome. It seems that humans are finally capable of mapping the Universe.

I had to redpill myself, complete a Simple Bitcoin App course to understand the logic and mathematical precision behind Bitcoin. I had help from random users on Nostr including devs who worked tirelessly to solve my bugs or issues. Understanding npubs, nsecs, relays, NWC and seedphrases takes a while for sure but once you start manufacturing your own cold storage Safu Ninja backups at home, you understand that fiat is dead. I'm all the way in Africa, and if I can go through this process using a desktop and a smartphone, anyone can do it.

After 3 years using Nostr I can clearly list at least 50 startup ideas one could implement on Nostr and earn Bitcoin on a regular basis.

We can't have sane and serious business without order, justice and law from the top down - for a long time we have watched how corrupt leaders, judges, mayors and police chiefs, continue taking advantage of public office and taxpayer money to defend their own interests, public partnerships, companies or ideologies. I say that these public servants must be held accountable by law enforcement before they become a danger to themselves or their communities alike.

The victim mentality crashes in the presence of the fighter mentality.

Elijah never gives a verbal description of God's appearance—unlike prophets like Ezekiel or Isaiah. Instead, his experience reveals God’s character and presence through actions, silence, and intimacy, not visual form.

Here’s what we can say about Elijah’s "description" of God, based on his personal encounter in 1 Kings 19:11–13:

---

1. God is not in the dramatic forces of nature

Elijah witnesses a series of powerful events:

A mighty wind that shatters mountains

A great earthquake

A consuming fire

> ā€œBut the Lord was not in the wind... not in the earthquake... not in the fire.ā€

This reveals that God’s presence is not always found in displays of power, which is surprising given how Elijah just called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18). It's a shift from spectacle to subtlety.

---

2. God is in the ā€œstill small voiceā€ (or ā€œgentle whisperā€)

After the fire, Elijah hears:

> ā€œa still small voiceā€ (Hebrew: qol demamah daqqah, literally ā€œa voice of thin silenceā€ or ā€œgentle whisperā€).

At this, Elijah wraps his face in his cloak—a sign of awe and recognition—and steps out of the cave to meet God.

This is Elijah’s ā€œdescriptionā€ of God:

Not visible. Not thunderous. But present in a whisper.

God is portrayed as:

Tender and close, not just mighty and distant

Attentive to human weakness (Elijah is emotionally broken)

Speaking in silence, rather than force

---

3. God is personal, restorative, and relational

In this encounter, God:

Listens to Elijah’s despair

Reassures him that he is not alone

Commissions him anew for a prophetic task

Affirms the hidden work of righteousness (ā€œ7,000 in Israel have not bowed to Baalā€)

Elijah’s experience teaches that God does not need to show Himself visually to be deeply real and transformative.

---

Summary: Elijah’s Description of God

--

In Elijah’s story, God is not just the fire-bringer of Mount Carmel—He is also the whisper in the cave. That’s a profound insight about divine presence: sometimes the truest power is quiet.

Elijah’s experience with God is very different from Ezekiel’s. Instead of a grand, fiery vision with wheels and cherubim, Elijah encounters God in a deeply personal, intimate, and quiet way. This happens during one of the most dramatic moments in Elijah’s life, in 1 Kings 19, after he flees into the wilderness, afraid and exhausted.

---

The Context: Elijah’s Crisis (1 Kings 19:1–9)

Elijah has just performed a massive miracle on Mount Carmel, calling down fire from heaven to defeat the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). But when Queen Jezebel threatens to kill him, he flees into the wilderness, depressed and suicidal:

> ā€œIt is enough now, O Lord, take away my life...ā€ (1 Kings 19:4)

God responds not with judgment, but with care—sending an angel to give Elijah food and rest. Then Elijah travels 40 days to Mount Horeb (another name for Mount Sinai), the same place where Moses encountered God.

---

The Revelation of God (1 Kings 19:11–13)

Here is where Elijah experiences God in a totally unexpected way:

> ā€œAnd behold, the Lord passed by,

and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord,

but the Lord was not in the wind.

And after the wind an earthquake,

but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

And after the earthquake a fire,

but the Lord was not in the fire.

And after the fire a still small voice [or "a gentle whisper"].ā€

Then Elijah wraps his face in his cloak—a sign of reverence and awe—and steps out to listen.

---

Meaning of Elijah’s Experience

God is not always in the dramatic. Unlike Ezekiel’s visions or Moses’ thunder on Sinai, Elijah meets God in silence.

God meets Elijah where he is—in vulnerability, fear, and burnout.

The ā€œstill small voiceā€ (Hebrew: qol demamah daqqah) suggests God's presence is often found in the quiet, subtle, and internal.

---

Summary of Elijah’s Description of God

Elijah doesn’t describe God in visual terms as Ezekiel or Isaiah do. His experience is auditory and emotional, highlighting:

God’s gentleness after trauma

God’s presence in quiet strength

A personal relationship, not just cosmic majesty.

This account is deeply spiritual and has echoed through centuries of theology, mysticism, and personal faith journeys. It tells us that God is not just the fire and the storm—but also the whisper in the silence.

When God interacts with Ezekiel, the encounters are intense, overwhelming, and deeply symbolic—transforming Ezekiel from a priest into a prophet charged with a monumental task. These interactions unfold across multiple chapters and follow a pattern of divine encounter, commissioning, instruction, and symbolic action. Here's a breakdown:

---

1. Divine Encounter and Ezekiel’s Reaction (Ezekiel 1:28–2:2)

After witnessing the vision of God’s glory:

> ā€œWhen I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.ā€ (Ezekiel 1:28, ESV)

Ezekiel falls prostrate, overwhelmed by the sheer majesty of the vision. This is a common response in the Bible when humans are confronted with the divine.

---

2. God Commissions Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2–3)

God speaks directly to Ezekiel, calling him ā€œson of manā€ā€”a term used nearly 100 times in the book, emphasizing his humanity compared to God's glory.

God tells him:

> ā€œI am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels... whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious people—they will know that a prophet has been among them.ā€ (Ezekiel 2:3–5)

Ezekiel is warned that his mission will be difficult, and he’s told not to fear them, even though they are obstinate.

---

3. The Scroll and the Taste of the Message (Ezekiel 3:1–3)

God gives Ezekiel a scroll filled with words of lament, mourning, and woe and commands him to eat it:

> ā€œThen I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.ā€ (Ezekiel 3:3)

This symbolizes internalizing God's message—even when it's bitter for the people, it must be fully digested by the prophet.

---

4. God's Glory and Prophetic Empowerment (Ezekiel 3:12–15)

The Spirit lifts Ezekiel up, and he hears the thunderous sound of the Lord’s glory. He is transported and sits among the exiles in Tel Abib, overwhelmed and silent for seven days.

> ā€œI came to the exiles... and I sat where they sat... overwhelmed among them seven days.ā€ (Ezekiel 3:15)

This silence reflects the weight of the divine message and the shock of his new role.

---

5. Becoming a Watchman (Ezekiel 3:16–21)

After the seven days, God appoints Ezekiel as a watchman for Israel, responsible for warning people:

> ā€œIf you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way... his blood I will require at your hand.ā€ (Ezekiel 3:18)

This moment defines Ezekiel's prophetic responsibility—to warn, regardless of the people’s response.

---

Summary

When God interacts with Ezekiel, the result is:

A profound encounter with divine glory

A difficult mission to confront rebellion and idolatry

A burden of responsibility to speak truth despite resistance

A transformation into a living message—often through symbolic acts, visions, and even personal suffering

These divine interactions make Ezekiel one of the most intense, symbolic, and apocalyptic prophets in the Bible.

Ezekiel, one of the major prophets in the Hebrew Bible, provides some of the most vivid and symbolic descriptions of God—particularly in his visions. The most iconic and detailed description appears in Ezekiel Chapter 1, where he recounts a vision of God's glory:

1. The Vision of the Chariot (Ezekiel 1:4–28)

Ezekiel sees a stormy wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with fire flashing continuously and a bright light around it. Within the fire, he sees four living creatures, later identified as cherubim:

Each creature had four faces (human, lion, ox, and eagle) and four wings.

Their appearance was ā€œlike burning coals of fire,ā€ and they moved ā€œlike flashes of lightning.ā€

Beside each creature was a wheel within a wheel, which moved in any direction without turning.

Over the heads of the creatures was an expanse like sparkling crystal.

Above the expanse was a throne, and on the throne was the appearance of a human figure.

Ezekiel says:

> ā€œThis was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.ā€ (Ezekiel 1:28, ESV)

He doesn’t claim to have seen God directly but uses the phrase ā€œthe appearance of the likenessā€, showing reverence and the mystery surrounding the divine presence.

---

2. Themes in Ezekiel’s Description

God as transcendent and holy: The vision communicates that God is far beyond human understanding.

Mobility and omnipresence: The wheels and the spirit moving in every direction suggest God is not confined to the Temple in Jerusalem, a crucial message for exiles in Babylon.

Majesty and awe: The bright fire, precious stones, thunderous sound, and brilliant light convey overwhelming glory and power.

---

Ezekiel’s descriptions influenced later Jewish mysticism (Merkabah mysticism) and Christian imagery of God’s throne in Revelation 4. It’s one of the Bible’s most mysterious and powerful portrayals of divine glory.

I can't believe Walt Disney picked a sterile narcissist for the role of Snow White; in 40 years of Hollywood this is surely the biggest flop I have ever witnessed.
