The Reality of Fire

Wow! 2025 is sure coming in with a bang… The current L.A. fires are very traumatic for those involved.

Some reports say fog was sprayed over southern California containing highly flammable magnesium particles which were ignited by Direct Energy Weapons. It sounds far fetched, and I don’t know if it’s true.

Hollywood has mostly rejected God, and the people who live there are, for the most part, complicit in polluting the world, and the minds of everyone who gets sucked in, with increasingly sick, degrading and detestable entertainment.

Because of the choices they’ve made, the people involved have forfeited God’s protection.

It’s hard to believe the changes that fire can bring. The aftermath can be heartbreaking.

Back in 2019 we had a fire go through our own property, and I should mention the miracle attached to that story.

A fire truck that should not have been in our area was ordered to leave when the fire became too severe, but the crew were cut off at our place, and so, because they were there, where they weren’t supposed to be, they saved our house! Even so, our caravan, a container, part of a shed, a pump house, and 30 years of beautiful gardens were burned in spite of their efforts. This was before the fire:

We were able to evacuate just in time. When embers began falling in the yard I was getting into my pajamas, but my wife realized it was time to go!

The wind got so bad I was not able to secure the driveway gate properly on the way out, and when we returned next morning the wood in it was shattered to pieces and the other end of the fence burned.

This is the gate I had trouble securing.

This is the second gate at the other end of the long fence we built, which survived, but a section of the wood got burned.

It took us a year of hard work to properly clean up.

I won’t say more, except, because of the Biblical theme I have going on this website, it’s appropriate to include this Revelation 9 screenshot about what’s still to come in Bible prophecy:

God is real. His words are real, and when you experience fire, you know just how real that is.

The Bible says God is love. It also says God is a fire.

Which is it then? Is God Love, or is He a Fire?

God’s fire is only for those who spit in God’s face. Psalms 11:6, Luke 17:29. For those who don’t, there is very good news.

This is Zephaniah 3, from the New Living Translation:

Or read 1 Peter 5:7 or Psalm 36:7, 7 or Isaiah 58:11. At least two translations say, “And the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong”.

Fires, trials, and troubles are designed to purify us Rev 3:18, and prepare us for an eternity where death and hell are themselves thrown into the lake of fire. (See Revelation 20.)

All things, in the end, can work for the good! Romans 8:28

The photo below is not the same fire that threatened our house. It’s just burning off we did on another occasion!

Submarines in the Bible!

The Bible is more interesting than most people realise.

In it, God has prophesied the end from the beginning: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose:

God has hidden things in the Bible that have only been revealed in the last 50 years. Such as submarines in the Bible! This concept is not original to me, but it’s still unknown to most people.

In a few places the Bible God codenames subs, calling them ‘Leviathan‘ and ‘Dragons.’

For example, Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

So here’s the thing: Why would God PUNISH a sea creature that he’s made?

It could be that Satan is being referred to as the dragon, or leviathan, however consider Psalm 104:26:There go the ships, there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

But maybe God didn’t directly make it!… In Scripture, God takes responsibility even for things he hasn’t done. That’s because God made everything, and without God, nothing would exist.

Before we go further into the Scriptures, let me just mention that modern-day Israel currently has a fleet of five subs that are believed to be fitted with nuclear-capable cruise missiles, and one of them is called ‘Leviathan.’
Israel also has a sixth sub on order, due to be delivered in 2027, called Drakon, which means Dragon.

Psalms 74:13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Psalms 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Let’s look at the other verses where LEVIATHAN is mentioned in Scripture.

Do some of these mentions of ‘Leviathan’ have a DOUBLE meaning?

Job 3:8 (Youngs Literal Translation)
LET THE CURSERS OF DAY MARK IT, WHO ARE READY TO WAKE UP LEVIATHAN.

Finally, Job 41, the entire chapter. Most of it seems to be talking about your regular sea monster, but there are a few things, such as doors in the sea monster, that make you wonder! I’ve added comments.

Can you pull in Leviathan with a fish hook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook? (This is not an ordinary fish.)

Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with soft words? (Low frequency digital signals?) Will it make an agreement with you for you to take it as your slave for life?

Can you make a pet of it like a bird or put it on a leash for the young women in your house? Wycliffe-Modern translation says ‘Whether thou shalt scorn him as a bird (aeroplane?), either shalt thou bind him to thine handmaidens?(In the navy, woman are not allowed to be crew on submarines.)

Will traders barter for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?

Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?

If you lay a hand on it, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

Any hope of subduing it is false; the mere sight of it is overpowering. No one is fierce enough to rouse it.

Who then is able to stand against me? Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.

Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth.
Strength resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.


The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
Its chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
(Referring to the uranium powered atomic reactor core? See just how hard in the screenshot below.)

I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs (KJV – ‘his parts’ but the word can also mean pole or stave,) possibly referring to the propellor shaft, or the PERISCOPE?

This is so interesting I thought I’d share a couple of screenshots in order to prove I’m not making it up! The word used is Strong’s # H905, (bad or baddaw) as shown above. It appears 16 other times in the Old Testament in the context of staves or poles. The ChatGPT screenshot shows just four of them.

Continuing Job 41…

its strength and its graceful form.
Who can strip off its outer coat?

Who can penetrate its double coat of armor? (The KJV translates the last part as “who can come to him with his double bridle?” What on earth does that mean? A double bridle may refer to its propeller and rudder for steering! )

Who dares open the DOORS (note that this monster has doors, plural – more than one!) of its mouth, RINGED ABOUT with fearsome teeth?

When the sub pictured below opens its missile DOORS there are two rows, EIGHT RINGED DOORS IN EACH ROW, that look like teeth.

Its back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can pass between. And They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.

Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Flames stream from its mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
(Torpedoes, of course, result in fire.)

When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing. (ASV: When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.)

North Korea is of particular concern. They have a fleet of about 70 submarines including at least one operational missile submarine.

The sword that reaches it has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin. Iron it treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.

Arrows do not make it flee;
slingstones are like chaff to it.
A club seems to it but a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
Translations vary, making it hard to know the true meaning of some verses. Wycliffe-Modern is completely different for this verse. It says “The beams of the sun shall be under him; and he shall strew to himself gold as clay.”

(The Wycliffe translation describes Leviathan in the future tense, but, because it does that with most subjects, it may not mean anything here.)

This is obscure language. Are these pointed shards coming from the sea monster, or is it the result of nuclear missiles being fired?

It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.

It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had white hair.
Nothing on earth is its equal—
a creature without fear.

It looks down on all that are haughty;
it is king over all that are proud.”

How many characteristics of these Biblical sea monsters just happen to match a description of modern subs? Here’s a summary of some of the above points.

All references below are set for the English Standard Version, so you need to research alternate versions as well, but DEPENDING ON THE TRANSLATION:

1) They shoot fire (Job 41:19)
2) They have tightly joined together outer scales (Job 41:15-17, 23)
3) Conversations with them are in low frequency (Job 41:3)
4) Woman (or damsels!) are not tied to them (Job 41:5)
5) Flames dart from their mouth (Job 41:21)
6) Lower parts of them are as hard as a nuclear reactor core (Job 41:24)
7) Parts of them may consist of a pole, stave or periscope (Job 41:12)
8) They may have a double steering device (Job 41:13)
9) They have ringed doors that open in rows (Job 41:14)
10) and when they open their doors, people are besides themselves with terror. (Job 41:25)
11) They churn the deep (Job 41:31)
12) They leave a glistening wake behind them in the water (Job 41:32)

Subs and wars originate with Satan the devil. God accepts ultimate responsibility, and in the future, God will punish when needed. (Isaiah 27:1, Psalms 74:13,14.)

So are these sea monsters also submarines?

Maybe yes, maybe no.
