| SpaceX's Falcon Heavy: The World's Most Powerful Rocket |
2 May 2017: I see the hand of God in the above image, and this SITREP is to tell you why.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, and now in a time of crisis, the Democratic People's Republic of (North) Korea, have been doing their utmost to build rockets capable of carrying nuclear warheads on a one-way flight to one or more targets roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles away. These two nations have been engaged in this joint endeavor, respectively, for 32 and 33 years to date. More than three decades, and they still have not quite mastered the one-way long range ICBM.
On the other-hand, I look at a start up company - not a nation state mind you like Iran or North Korea - but a start up company we know as SpaceX. SpaceX was founded as a private commercial enterprise in 2002 whose goal it has been to revolutionize space technology. In just 15 years the SpaceX company has not only built rockets capable of lifting heavy loads into space, but it also lands the launch vehicle back on the same launch pad, even when that launch pad is nothing more than a large barge floating at sea.

SpaceX has advanced to the point where, as seen in the image above, it is building the most powerful rocket in the world, the Falcon Heavy. Designed not to carry nuclear warheads, but far more peaceful missions like carrying human beings to the Moon and Mars, and beyond to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and back again. A mission to the moon is planned for next year.
This is where i see the hand of God technologically restraining diabolically evil nations bent on the wholesale mass destruction of fellow human beings, and at the same time allowing for the incredible progress that enable peaceful forays of His creation mankind into the solar system He created.
You see, the Holy Bible says nothing prohibitive about mankind and space exploration. AnswersinGenesisdotorg wrote about this. One of the key points in their article is that Psalm 8:3 declares the sun, moon and stars (planets, stars and galaxies) are the works of God's fingers, and a couple verses later (verse 6) this text says God made man to have dominion over the works of God's hands!
On the other hand the Bible says very specific, thou shall not things about cold-blooded murder. Knowing the future from even before the beginning of time itself, God knows the evil that countries like Iran and North Korea intend, and with respect to Iran He spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about what He would do to prevent Iranian "arrows" from flying.
Yes, I see the hand of God in all these things. He is in total control.
