It reminds me of a Christian chalk artist I saw as a child of perhaps 6. She was quoting the Revelation 9:7-9 which describes locusts "with hair like the hair of women" and that the "sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle".
The locusts were "obviously" fighter jets and the hair was "clearly" jet engine contrails, she stated, and proceeded to draw it all up in lurid detail.
A cursory Google search finds modern Christian teachers claiming these locusts are "obviously":
"a symbol of the harm that tribulations on earth can do to the vulnerable —those who have no hope in Christ"
"Those seven attributes [of the locusts] all symbolize the nature of the Roman empire: its wealth, its worship of earthly kings, effeminacy, dominion, law enforcement, armies, cruelty, and suchlike."
"[the locust's hair like women's hair] fitly points at the Arabians or Saracens, who, as Pliny says, used to wear long hair without cutting it, and attired as women, and have their names also from women: they were called Hagarenes, from Hagar, Abraham's handmaid, by whom he had Ishmael, the father of these people"
I can see the same rampant confirmation bias here in the OP. The sheep has seven eyes so what are there seven of? Well "clearly" it's the 7 electrons in a Nitrogen atom.
Well, I say "obviously" he's wrong -- it's the 7 days of the week.
I have just as much basis to stake that claim as the OP does to stake theirs.
The word 'Power' in the Bible is the same as our modern terms for Electromagnetism, Electrical Energy and things of that nature.
The Holy Ghost is associated with Power...
Romans 15:13
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
Naturally, we find that the Holy Ghost is what 'Powers' the Wheels of God's Chariot...
Ezekiel 1:20
"Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
Again, the Eyes are representative of Electrons and the Holy Spirit of God that 'Quickens' and is the Electricity that Powers Life...
All life has the Holy Spirit 'Energy' in it.
Power is a literal, quantifiable and tangible thing in the Bible. The Holy Ghost is also like a form of Electronic Communication.
If we use the Biblical definition of the Godhead (Holy Trinity), we find that the word 'Godhead' in the Bible is the same as our modern word 'Atom'...
Atoms consist of three basic components,
Neutron
Proton
Electron
The Holy Ghost is the Electron portion of the Godhead.
Almost everyone that refers to the concept of the Godhead will say that the Godhead is 'impossible to understand', and that anyone who tries to describe it is playing a fool's game.
That is absolutely false.
The Godhead is one of the easiest things to understand. God made it simple...
Hebrews 11:3
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
The Word of God is what creates the reality we live in. It is also 'invisible'. Why? Because it is Information. Said Information acts like a Software Code that generates all of the physical matter we see around us...
This is where the producers of the movie 'The Matrix' got their idea from.
The Bible goes on to teach that the Godhead is to be understood by the 'things that are made', in other words, the Godhead is what forms all of the Elements in the Periodic Table.
Romans 1:20
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"
Again, the Godhead (Atoms) are created by the invisible Word of God that generates the 3D 'Simulation' we reside in.
The verse ends with a stern warning that we are 'without excuse' for not knowing something so simple as to what the Godhead is.
Going back to the Standard Model/High Priest Breastplate Rosetta Stone, we can further quantify how the Twelve Particles of Matter relates to the Godhead Atom...
If we look on the lower left corner, we find that the Electron matches with the Gemstone called 'Beryl'. Thus, any verses pertaining to the Beryl should describe the Electron...
Ezekiel 1:16
"The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."
And there we have it. The 'Wheel in the middle of a Wheel' is the color of the Beryl, i.e., the Electron. It all matches up and aligns perfectly.
We can do another...
Daniel 10:6
"His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
Again, we find the Beryl associated with Lamps of Fire (Electrons), Lightning (Electricity).
One more...
Song Of Solomon 5:14
"His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires."
The Beryl represents the Electrons that orbit the 'Ring'. Oh how easy God made this to understand!
What about the Gemstones that make up the Godhead in the Throne Room?
Revelation 4:3
"And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."
According to the Standard Model/High Priest Breastplate Rosetta Stone, we have...
Sardine Stone = Up Quark
Emerald = Down Quark
It just so happens that Neutrons and Protons are made of Up and Down Quarks...
Once again, everything matches beautifully. The Word of God has Quantum Physics encoded right in front of everyone's faces, yet the naysayers and unbelievers do not believe God is smart enough to put that kind of information in a book thousands of years old.
They out themselves every time...
1 Corinthians 2:14
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
I've heard and seen many bizarre concepts spewed in the name of Christianity or the OT / early Hebrew texts (which this is more a part of) over the past five decades, but this "takes the cake" and sets a new low. God must surely be doing this:
The Bible is a book of Eugenics. Some get it, some do not.
This information is intended for those that do. It explains part of the process. One might call it 'Informed Consent'.
God is not simply going to exterminate all Life on this planet just because he 'feels like it'. There is Scientific Method being used here involving Genomes and specific sequences. Salvation is a lot more quantifiable than most realize.
Those that choose to mock and ridicule, all I can say is that there is a reason it is called Eugenics. You may want to reconsider what Spirit you are promoting. I am just a messenger.
Agreed. The Bible is not intended to be a scientific textbook.
I agree
As humans we have minds that are capable of scientific thought but I agree with Michael and you that the focus of the Scriptures is not primarily scientific it is about the people and how they/we interact with each other
We can and do read into the Scriptures things to support what we think and get carried away with that
