Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the year 2024, the
world's most advanced submarine
, the USS Neptune, embarked on amission to explore the
uncharted depths of the MarianaTrench.
The crew, a mix of seasonedsailors and eager scientists,
were united by a common goal touncover the mysteries of the
(00:22):
deep sea.
As the Neptune descended intothe abyss, the darkness
enveloped them.
The only light came from thesubmarine's powerful floodlights
, illuminating the alienlandscape and casting long,
(00:45):
eerie shadows.
The crew watched in awe asstrange and wonderful creatures
flitted past their windows,their tiny bodies glowing in the
darkness.
Days turned into weeks as theyventured deeper.
Then, incoming, incoming,incoming, the sorter picked up
(01:29):
something unusual A massiveobject, larger than any known
sea creature, was moving towardsthem.
The crew watched in stunnedsilence as the creature emerged
from the darkness.
I can't shake it.
I can't shake it.
I can't shake it.
(01:50):
Cover me, I'm taking damage.
Cover me, I'm taking damage,cover me, I'm taking damage.
(02:20):
Like anything they had seen.
Its body was covered in thickarmored scales that shimmered
under the submarine's lights.
Its eyes, as large as dinnerplates, glowed a material blue
Tentacles each.
As long as the submarine itselfundulated gently in the water,
(02:42):
the scientists were ecstatic.
They had discovered a newspecies, a Leviathan of the deep
.
They named it GigantopusNeptunus in honor of their
vessel.
Despite its size, the creaturewas gentle.
(03:19):
It seemed to be as curiousabout the Neptune as they were
about it.
It circled the submarine itsenormous eyes studying them
gently.
The crew tried to attach atracking device to one of its
tentacles, hoping to learn moreabout this magnificent creature,
but the effort was to no avail.
(03:42):
The encounter with thegigantopus Neptunus was the
highlight of their mission.
The crew returned to thesurface with tales of the
adventure and invaluable datafor the scientific community.
The discovery sparked renewedinterest in deep sea exploration
, reminded humanity of thewonders that lie in the depths,
(04:04):
of the wonders that lie in thedepths of the ocean.
But some years after that, thecaptain of the USS Neptune, dr
Blair, experimented a new lifewith his newfound faith.
(04:28):
He had been a devoted Christianwith many years of membership
at his local church.
One April morning, right beforebreakfast, dr Blair had a
prayer and proceeded to read andlearn from his usual daily
devotional.
The verse from that morning'slesson was Revelation, chapter 5
(04:50):
, verse 13,.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That says Then I
heard every creature in heaven
and on earth, and under theearth and on the sea, and all
that is in them saying To himwho sits on the throne and to
the sea, and all that is in themsaying to him who sits on the
throne and to the Lamb be graceand honor and glory and power
(05:15):
For Amber and Everett.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Dr Blair, or Jack as
that was his name, had read the
verse before.
Previous studies of the Biblehad covered it and was used for
many personal and group brethrenlessons.
But this morning a differentkind of light was shed upon
Jack's reason, and it was thefact that the verse mentions
every creature, to include thoseunder the earth and of the sea.
(05:52):
He immediately thought of thegigantopus Neptunus.
What if, just what, if therewere creatures under the earth
or at the depths of theGigantopus Neptunus?
What if, just what, if therewere creatures under the earth
or at the depths of the sea withthe capacity to praise the Lord
just like we do?
Certainly, this verse wouldmean that the act of praising
(06:13):
our Creator truly has noboundaries and that it covers
every angle or depth in thisworld.
But what if it also meant thatthere are indeed unknown
creatures to us that have thecapacity to praise him as well?
Jack's imagination went wild.
He thought of the LeviathanMoon and his crew, discovered
(06:36):
many years ago during theirmission in the deepest ocean
here on earth.
What if those sounds that thecreature was making were indeed
praises to its creator?
What if he was castingblessings upon them instead of
trying to intimidate them withfear.
There are many secrets that havenot and may not even be
(06:57):
revealed to us all.
God alone has the reason forthat to be, hey, and I do not
question him for that whatsoeverbut that leaves a massive
window of opportunity for us tomeditate as to how little we
know about life and this world.
For sure, jack thought ofrecent news of UFOs, where
(07:20):
witnesses saw them disappearingas they plunged into the ocean.
Could they be part of thesedeep sea creatures that are
mentioned in this verse?
Who knows?
I don't have the answer to thatquestion, obviously, but of one
thing I am sure of Our God is aGod of mysteries and wonders.
(07:41):
We will never be able tounderstand His nature, and if
there are new creatures andanimal species that are being
discovered on a constant basisaround the world, then who are
we to dismiss the possibility ofliving creatures with the
capacity to trace Him under thedeep earth, if you think of it?
(08:03):
this is not too far-fetched whenyou get to see the skeleton
remains of a megalodon a speciesbelieved to have been imaginary
or even life footage of anever-before-seen giant squid
gliding in the depths of theocean in front of a deep sea
camera.
Oh man, we know so little.
I leave this for you tomeditate upon and to even
(08:27):
discuss it with God personallyon your own.
Who knows, you may be therecipient of new revelations and
wisdom that could make evenmore sense and get us closer to
Him In the meantime, justbecause of the greatness of who
he is, we should all agree withPsalms 150, verse 6, where it
(08:50):
says Let everything that hasbreath praise the Lord.
His magnificence and mysteriesare all but worthy.
Oh man, be blessed my dearbrothers and sisters.
