Without knowing its provenance, a Texas art collector paid $35 for a marble bust in a Goodwill Store. To be shocked when discovering that her bargain dated from 1st century B.C. – 1st century A.D. and believed to depict a son of Pompey the Great.
It had last been seen in the private collection of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. An American soldier likely stole and brought it back with him after WWII. The art collector has made an agreement with Bavarian authorities to return the treasure in exchange for a confidential settlement. San Diego U/T, 5/15/22 We can learn an essential Biblical truth from the story: by right of creation in HIS image; by right of redemption in HIS SON's sacrifice; by right of re-creation in the HOLY SPIRIT's work of conversion, God owns all human beings. Satan naturally lies, using Darwin's horrendously false view that lower life forms merged into higher life forms. And spiritually-blind scientists continue his fallacy that we rose from LOWER forms of life, not fell from GOD's, the Highest Possible LIFE SOURCE. While there's nothing in creatures that makes us think we belong to their lower life form, everything about us shouts our nexus with GOD. True, rather than admit we belong UPWARD, and, therefore, have a responsibility to God, benighted scientists glory in our downward origin, therefore, congratulating us for bettering ourselves by ourselves. Though all created beings, according to God's will, continue to re-produce after their own KIND. Upward, in God's presence through Christ, we improve, mature, increase in God's Image. In no other direction do we get closer to our origin or destiny. With this caveat, only returning to God as our origin and destiny will slow, then stop, our decline into deeper depravity so evident everywhere in America. Should we continue in our present state long enough, God will one day have enough, and JUDGMENT will fall. Whether revival, or Christ's Return, happens then, God alone will determine.
