Episode 183: The Younger Dryas - Water Show NotesSummary: Around 12,900 years ago, the Earth experienced a cooling period known as the Younger Dryas. This cooling led to widespread flooding, which some experts speculate may have been global. One theory suggests that the flooding was caused by an impact event that melted large ice sheets and triggered the cooling period. However, this theory is only sometimes accepted. We will explore if there is any evidence of such an event in the Bible and if it is related to the flood of Noah or something else. We continue our series that explores the possibility that the Younger Dryas resulted from a pre-Adamic flood.This episode Is brought to you by the following Bible Mysteries Podcast Premium Subscribers or Seekers:Mary Ann Saluri, Pawel Lebioda, Alicia Melendez, Lydia Roop, Matthew Allen, and Aaron WolfeScriptures:All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible. Genesis 1:6-10, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, Job 38:29-33, Genesis 7:11-12, Revelation 4:2-6, Exodus 12:12, Exodus 14:19-22, Genesis 1:1Notes:שָׁמַיִם šāmayim Heaven or skyמַיִם mayim Waterיִם yām SeaTakeaway:God sits upon many waters. This is symbolic of multiple things, but His throne is certainly above the frozen deep. This was the source of the waters in Genesis 1:2, and there is every reason to believe this was a flood upon the ungodly world of the angelic rebellion before Adam was created. The Younger Dryas was very possibly the flood of Genesis 1:2, which came from God out of the third heaven. Next week we will discuss why there is a third heaven when at first there was only one!Links: Videos about the Younger Dryashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfrRaIhEWZYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9FPKWI97PsBible Mysteries Podcast Visit our Website: biblemysteriespodcast.comContact Us: unlockthebiblenow@gmail.comInteractive church locator for those looking for a fellowship that teaches certain truths - https://rockharborchurch.net/grow-connect/church-locator/

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 9, 2023 is: auspicious • aw-SPISH-us • adjective Something described as auspicious is full of promise, showing or suggesting that future success or good results are likely. Auspicious can also mean “attended by good fortune.” // The young musician's auspicious debut album reveals her songwriting as already more accomplished than that of artists twice her age and stature. // The high school gymnast had quite the auspicious year, taking gold or silver in nearly every competition. See the entry > Examples: “[Bassist, Ron] Carter turned 85 on May 4. To celebrate the milestone, he held a concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, performing with three different ensembles. … An elegant man of demure stature, Carter couldn't have picked a more appropriate venue for this auspicious occasion than Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage. From the first song of the night with his Golden Striker Trio, it was evident that the audience had come not just for jazz, but for Black American classical music.” — Matthew Allen, TheGrio.com, 11 May 2022 Did you know? Some word knowledge to crow about in your next tweetstorm: auspicious comes from Latin auspex, which literally means “bird seer” (from the words avis, meaning “bird,” and specere, meaning “to look at”). In ancient Rome, these “bird seers” were priests or augurs who studied the flight and feeding patterns of birds, then delivered prophecies based on their observations. The right combination of bird behavior indicated favorable conditions, but the wrong patterns spelled trouble. The English noun auspice, which originally referred to this practice of observing birds to discover omens, also comes from Latin auspex. Today, the plural form auspices is often used with the meaning “kindly support and guidance.”

Matthew Allen, a leadership marketing coach, sat down with Sarah to talk about a disruption that he created because he felt the call to bicycle across America. The identity he discovered afterward, led him from a career in civil engineering in NYC to becoming a CrossFit coach and moving to Colorado. When disruption came next in the form of a pandemic, he found a new identity and calling to teach marketing to online coaches. Turns out, he's pretty good at that, too.

This is it! After dozens of games and hundreds of hours of gameplay, we've arrived at the VERY LAST GAME in the Wii U catalog!
