The Human Pig Chimera and Bible Prophecy Matthew 24:37

The First Human Pig Hybrid (Chimera) was created last week according to Wired, National Geographic and a host of other online news sources, and is apparently a step toward custom organs for humans? This article will take a look at this groundbreaking headline and how it ties in with Bible Prophecy with the following words from Jesus himself warning that you will definitely know when you are in the Last Days mentioned both in Matthew and in Luke:

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

This headline hasn't got the mass coverage that I thought it would get hence this article with a look from a Biblical perspective.




What is a Chimer?
Chimeras are the result of the mixing of two or more species of say human, animal or even plant DNA to produce a new species, a sort of hybrid which is called a Chimera. If you've ever watched the Hollywood Film starring Jeff Goldblum called The Fly, you will get the idea. The word "Chimera" has Greek origins from Greek mythology. The Greek mythological character, Medusa, who was part woman and part snake with hair made of individual snakes, was a Chimera and also the Egyptian Sphinx which was half man and half lion is another example of a Chimera. Half human and half dog was also depicted in Egyptian paintings amongst others!

There is mention of this in the Bible with interaction between Fallen Angels (sometimes referred to as The Watchers) and humans in the following verses:

Genesis 6:1-4
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Looking at these verses the "sons of God" mentioned are Angels that came to earth and which some are saying are "Fallen Angels". It states quite clearly that these Fallen Angels found the human women attractive what is described in Genesis as "fair" and married them and they had children from this coupling. The children are mentioned as "Giants" but are referred outside of the Bible as "The Nephilim". The word Nephilim never appears in the Bible. This is the first Biblical instance of a Chimera or Angel/Human hybrid which went against the natural laws which were created in Genesis 1.

God had strict view on the different types of Flesh on the Earth and not mixing with one another for good reason.

1st Corinthians 15:38-39
38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

Genesis 1:24-25
24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Basically God is saying in the Bible verses above that every thing should reproduce after its own kind. The Watchers and Nephilim were in complete violation of these natural laws hence the term "In the days of Noah"!

This unnatural coupling produced in God's eyes much evil on the earth and he decided to eradicate mankind and everything associated with it by creating The Flood. Miraculously there is conclusive evidence in the Bible that these Nephilim survived the Great Flood as they are mentioned a number of times (see video) a long way after the flood on the Old Testament of the Bible with Goliath who was killed by David being the most famous. Were they on the ark with Noah???

Chimeras in the News
The recent headline is not the first ever Chimera created there have been many others including: rats with human brains, sheep with human hearts - 15% human-animal chimera, rabbit eggs fused with human cells, pigs with human blood, tomatoes mixed with flounders, firefly genes mixed with tobacco plants = glow in the dark plants amongst others.

Chimeras in Mythology
In mythology a Man + Goat is called a Satyr, a Man + Horse is called a Centaur, Man + Bull is called a Minotaur, Bird + Horse is called Pegasus, Bird + Lion is called a Griffin. Outside of Greek Mythology itcould be said that a Bird + Dinosaur + Man = T-Rex. Certainly Teradactyls were a combination of Bird and Reptile and yet another example of a Chimera.

Heading back to the Days of Noah (Noe)
Before the Great Flood in Noah's time Chimeras existed but inside the Bible there is just a vague mention of these creations. To get more information on this topic you would have to go outside the Bible iby consulting the Apocryphal Books ncluding the Book of Enoch (Enoch is mentioned in the Bible) and the Book of Jasher (mentioned by Joshua and David in the Old Testament). The Book of Enoch actually exists but many say the copy of the Book of Jasher that is available today may not be the original proper copy. According to the Book of Enoch, 200 of Lucifer's Fallen Angels, (a class of beings called The Watchers) landed on Mt. Hermon in the days of Jared. The Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible was according to some sources lost and has not survived to modern times.

Here is one verse (unverified) for those who are interested.

The Book of Jasher, mentioned in the Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, says,

“After the fallen angels went into the daughters of men, the sons of men taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order to provoke the Lord” (4:18)

Other Apocryphal books include 2 Esdras, Genesis Aprocryphon. These books expand and add that the sin of the "Fallen Angels" grew to include genetic modification of animals as well as humans.

Summary
What we have witnessed in the news just last week with the creation of the first Human/Pig Chimera or Hybrid is mankind coming full circle and creating pretty much the same thing and violating the natural laws and creating Chimeras just as it was "in the days of Noah". Times change...........mankind doesn't.
Of course these Chimeras are used for organ research and replacements but just like with the newly found CRISPR technique that can change DNA we are on the doorsteps of man playing God and thinking he can replace God but what are we creating to achieve that aim.

As proven many times examples being cloning sheep, you can recreate an exact copy in appearance terms but step outside the natural order of things and the thing you have created will have FRankenstein tendencies and what will not have The Spirit of God in it as it is in violation of the laws of nature created from the very beginning when God created the world and the Universe in 6 days.

There is not much mention of the Nephilim in the Bible for good reason and nay investigations will lead to a dead end. A verse that has no cross referencing whatsoever which would include a verse such as Daniel 2:43

As Jesus said in his warning to the disciples on how to recognise The Last Days

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

If you ever doubted we were in the Last Days this Pig/Human Chimera headline is confirmation of that fact. The question is, are the Nephilim or even Fallen Angels here as well, or will they be re-created again.......... but this time in a laboratory?

Genome Editing and Eugenics. Is man starting to play God?

Enter the brave new world of Genome Editing, Eugenics and CRISPR. Gene editing is the new breakthrough kid on the block that is causing a major stir not only in scientific circles but has far reaching consequences in all corners of life and society, even animals and plants. In short if it has a gene and is alive and on this planet, it now has the potential t be edited. This was hitting the headlines a couple of months back earlier this year in 2016.


We have seen the development of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Test Tube Babies, Surrogate Mothers and this next development really draws a line in the sand between the natural world and the brave new world of Science and Technology.

A recent Panorama video sheds some light on this fascinating but equally scary science on our doorstep that claims to have the answers and cures for all the worlds diseases and problems and even gives scientists the ability to potentially control evolution and "Play God". BUT is this a good thing or are somethings better left alone and left to their natural devices as in "Nature" or the higher powers?



In a world first, Chinese scientists have reported editing the genomes of human embryos. The results were published in the online journal Protein & Cell and confirm widespread rumours that such experiments had been conducted — rumours that sparked a high-profile debate recently in scientific and other circles about the ethical implications of such work.

British scientists recently have received permission to alter the DNA of human embryos within the overall mission of correcting devastating diseases in the womb. The work of one authorized stem cell scientist, using embryos donated by couples with a surplus after IVF treatment, will look at the fertilized eggs' development from a single cell to about 250 cells. The research could help scientists understand why some women lose their babies before term, and provide better clinical treatments for infertility, using conventional medical methods.

The real reason/purpose and goal of gene editing is eliminating serious diseases like cystic fibrosis and cancer, as well as improving fertility rates and In Vitro Fertilisation techniques and reducing miscarriages. The problem is this science/technology is opening a Pandora’s box of potential problems and is raising ethical questions and posing real long term risks from what amount to short to medium term solutions. No one at present knows the outcomes of adopting this science. Genetic alterations can be passed down to future generations, for example. The concept of designer babies and Eugenics is now a distinct reality with this new found gene editing with all the moral implications that this raises.

A look at the definitions and terms of this new emerging Science/Technology that include Genome Editing, CRISPR and Eugenics, that could radically change our lives for the better and the worse.

The Definition of Gene (Genome Editing) Editing:
Genome editing, or genome editing with engineered nucleases (GEEN) is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of an organism using engineered nucleases, or "molecular scissors."

What is CRISPR:
CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats, is the technology behind gene editing. It identifies certain genes, cuts them, and rewrites their DNA. It has been used successfully to create bigger dogs and has even created micro-pigs, which are popular as pets.

The definition of Eugenics:
It is a social philosophy advocating the improvement of human genetic traits through the promotion of higher rates of sexual reproduction for people with desired traits (positive eugenics), or reduced rates of sexual reproduction and sterilization of people with less-desired or undesired traits (negative eugenics).

What are the potential problems and pitfalls of this new Genetic Scientific Discovery.

Here's what can happen with this Scientific discovery that is still very much in it's early stages. If you remember the film with Will Smith called "I am Legend" where they discovered a cure for cancer which was administered to the masses with dire consequences. This discovery has the exact same potential. Here's a few scenarios that have occurred that demonstrate that we are in new territory and not entirely sure what the end result will be.

The Intro News Scene from "I Am Legend". Cancer is cured?


The Result of the miracle cure and "I Am Legend" Trailer.



Scenario 1: If mistakes are inadvertently made in the editing process............what happens? In mice, for example, researchers blocked a gene that caused cancer, but the mice ended up aging prematurely.

Scenario 2: Correcting one mutation might cause another that can become hereditary and passed onto children. Then that person might even avoid having children, so it’s life-affecting down through a family line.

Scenario 3. At present Gene editing is not permitted  in the U.S. — so far. Last spring after Chinese researchers reported their use of CRISPR to edit the genes of human embryos for the first time, the Obama administration said it opposed such research in the US.

Scenario 4: With Eugenics things start to come into play as it has in the past in several countries, where leaders tried to build ‘better, more desirable people. Hitler is one example who's aim was to build the perfect blonde haired blue eyed "Aryan" race.

Scenario 5: There is concern about this whole notion of there being rogue private and unregulated underground clinics doing these things that are not authorised or in the black market. This would be done purely for financial gain with no concern over the legal, moral or long term hereditary health of those concerned.

Scenario 6: Designer Babies is the obvious final genie in the bottle which could generate a whole new world but one with Frankenstein potential.

Scenario 7: The obvious. Is man equipped to understand Genetic Editing of Human Embryos and Equal to Playing God?

Conclusions:

In every area of our lives we are on the verge of a "Brave New World" and mankind is starting to look and experiment with things which provide all the answers to all the worlds problems such as ageing, disease and other afflictions of the human condition. A recent article in The Guardian goes along with this hypothesis called Genetic editing is like playing God – and what’s wrong with that?



The problem is, where is all this leading, are we potentially reliving the Frankenstein experiment or the Hollywood film "I am Legend", do we really know the long term effect of essentially tampering with DNA, the very essence and building blocks of life. Is this really the answer to all our problems, or is this a step too far and going beyond nature and opening a Pandora's box that once opened can never be closed again.

Changing Nature and what God has created?
Here are some arguments from the Bible against changing what God has created. The following verses indicates that God who made the earth and the heavens, must be competent in making humans and this verse below is a good illustrator of the wrongness of research on human embryos. This verse speaks of how God knew us before we were even born, or even conceived. This would suggest that someone begins life before conception in the eyes of God.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.

You could argue that the following verse below from Ecclesiastes indicates we should not be tampering with what God ‘hath made crooked’. However, it appears to be arguing that we cannot, NOT that we should not, change what God has done.

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

I Corinthians 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

Another verse on the mixing of animals and humans. What God has created is good and that we should leave it that way and not interfere.
