GOD's Architechural Design!

 
We left Nevada and went into Arizona. The postcard below shares all about this magnificent creation of GOD!
 

We crossed into Arizona by way of the Hoover Damn. Another wonder to look at, the canyon designed by Almighty GOD! 
 

You can see the bridge above. Below we are crossing over that bridge named "The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge." What a design and an accomplishment by man.  

 
But, when compared to this design below by our Master Designer, His design is incomprehensible! I like to name this, "A family out for a walk." It looks like a father, mother holding the hand of her child. I wonder what a psychiatrist would render about my interpretation of that "ink spot," lol!
 
 

Do scientists truly believe this tiny river really carved out this massive "crack" in the canyon? I believe it happened when the pressure of the receding waters from the flood occurred!
 
 

It took my breath away when I stood at the edge of this wonder of GOD's creation! It had just finished raining and the steam could be seen in a light fog.
 

Below you can see the rain falling as it moves out of this part of the canyon.
 
 

Below is the picture further to the back as the rain dissipated where we were.
 

Pictures can't get the 3 dimensional view of this amazing sight. The depth, breadth, and height are unexplainable by pictures. It's beyond comprehension to explain the miracle of how GOD designed our eyes to see in dimensions!
 
 The many different colors in the canyon rock is gorgeous; from reds to tans and whites to browns. From smooth to rough; with worn lines going horizontally as well as vertically. It's like the Master of clay models using His tools to scrap design into the clay which produces His individual design of every individual inorganic item and especially His organic design of man in His own image. (Genesis 1)  
 
 

GOD's WORD tells us in Luke 19:40, as Jesus speaks to the Pharisees, "I tell you, if they (His disciples) keep quiet, the STONES will cry out (Who I Am!)" Can you imagine the scientists of today listening to stones crying out of who Jesus is!!! I can only imagine in the New Heaven and New Earth of Revelation, that all creation (not just organic, but inorganic as well) will be giving praise to our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior, Holy Father GOD!


Each rock is designed uniquely as is each human He has created in this world!
What a beautiful sight in New Mexico as we headed to Texas, our next stop!

Architechural Designs

 
The hotels of Las Vegas, what major architectural designs;
 

as was the Towel of Babel, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and yes, even the Temple of Jerusalem. They now are in foundational ruins or no longer exists.
*
Man can never match the Design of Almighty God! Can you imagine how many men, construction materials, and money went into each hotel?
*
GOD SPOKE and everything came into existence! Did you know He spoke light into existence before He did the stars! Read the first chapter of Genesis.
**
Look at the ant hills in your back yard. They design the intricate tunnels and compartments for their colony, only to have to do it over time and again when their ant hill gets stepped upon or run over!

They can carry 10 times their own weight. Can you imagine a 175 pound man leisurely carrying 1,750 pounds above his head to a construction site at the top of some of those hotels when they are being built (and without any engineering assistance!)
*
All the more man should look to the Master Designer that makes man's designs look like ant hills!
*
Sad to say in man's arrogance and pride he says there is no GOD. Look at what GOD told Job in 38:4, "Where were you when I formed the foundation of the world," set the stars in the heavens, and formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed into him the breath of life (Genesis 1)!
*
Scientists today (in their arrogance) "want to be like GOD." The very thing that brought down Lucifer (see Ezekiel) was the very thing that brought down man in the Garden of Eden. Scientists want to tell mankind about creation, when they themselves can't agree with their own theories!  



For instance: the age of the universe. They can't truly agree due to the "probability" of everything on earth now as it is - "falling" into place with their theory of evolution in this "young of a universe." So, they keep adding their billions of years to the theory (which they can't prove to be "fact." ) Another instance: Their 'big bang theory." They now realize that not everything is going from an outward point due to galaxies colliding with others that are perpendicular!
*
What is more intelligible to believe: That an Intelligible (beyond our comprehension), Awesome, Almighty, Creator GOD spoke into existence the laws of this universe's thermal dynamics, or that 2 tablespoons of unintelligible super condensed matter was the cause of our existence!!!
*
The laws of thermal dynamics say that something can't come from nothing! Who put it there? But then the "know-it-all" scientists want to say "it was always there." What "possesses" them to believe non-intelligible matter could always exist but not a Holy GOD Who is not held to our universal laws, because He is not of His created universe.
*
"The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no GOD.' " Psalm 14:1
*
"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at GOD's command  so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible." Hebrews 11:3
*
When I finish my "USA Trip," I'll share more
about the "Eternal past and Eternal future!"

Las Vegas Hotels Part 4

 
This definitely looks like a "Mirage!" Could you ever imagine such a large hotel?
 

New York, New York; Stature of Liberty replica and all!
 


Looking below just think, "Paris, France" right here in the USA! Being so close, I couldn't get the top of the famous Eiffel tower (replica)! You can see it in the background of the Trump Hotel.


Nice design below in the Hotel Rio! Can you imagine the pent house on top!



The Hotel Stratosphere was taken from my book! I would never believe that people parachute from the top of this!!!


The Tropicana sounds like the hotel that Desi Arnes from the "I Love Lucy" show had his orchestra playing in. I'm sure, of course, it wasn't this one!



Donald's pent house is on the top of his Trump Tower!


Below is a picture of the Venetian Hotel. It may not be as tall as the other hotels, but it surely covers more land.


I like the curve in the design of the Vdara hotel below.

 
I tried to download my video of the Bally's
Hotel's fountain, but couldn't. I'll have to work on it! What a sight to see after dark! There's a still picture of it on my Oct. 22 post!

Las Vegas Hotels Part 3

So many beautiful hotels!  We didn't have the time to go inside each of them, but several we did get to see inside!
 


I can't express the size of these large architectural  structures of ART!  



I can only imagine Barnum and Bailey's Circus being held above! You could have a jungle reproduction inside!


I have never seen any Hilton Hotels any bit the size of the one above! Wow! No wonder the previous post of the Flamingo's hallway went out of sight in a straight line!!



Can you believe each speck above is a window in the Mandarin Hotel!

 
The entrance to the Mandarin has these Dragons ready for flight! You can see the size of the people below!
 


Who doesn't recognize the MGM? I love seeing the Lion roar at the beginning of all of the MGM movies! 


 
Reminds me of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! Our Majestic King is not far from saying, "Come up hither!" What a Rapture that will be!

Las Vegas Hotels Part 2

 
The Days of Shivery were definitely not like that today! I don't think their castles had the comfort of the Excalibur!
 

 
It's kind of a cross between Disney and the English days of the knights! Rapunzel would surely need more hair than in the fairy tale!
 
 

They didn't have solar street lights, pools, automobiles, and tourist in their day either, ha! (Nor casinos in their "dungeons,") lol!  
 

The Hotel themes were really enjoyable!

Las Vegas Hotels

 
The lights of Vegas are really bright!
I just loved seeing the beautiful fountains! The Bally's Fountain is below. What a sight to see!
 

Below is the outside view of The Flamingo where we stayed!


The first hotel I wanted to see was The Luxor!
 

It's amazing how much larger it is to see it in person than looking at pictures!


Wait until you see the size of it inside!


 
I can only imagine if I were standing at Pharaoh's toes! That would be one way to look small, ha! 
 

I'm "about leg high to a grasshopper!"  No pun concerning the locusts that came upon them to let GOD's people go.
 


Entrance into the Pharaoh's domain! I did not go!  

 
Another view; you can see the cars in the parking lot to be the size of the lower first row of "bricks" building the pyramid.
 
 

It surely was pretty to see all of the lights at night!
This is just the first of many hotels!

Viva, Viva, Las Vegas Part 2

 
What a hotel! I can't believe the size of it! I am so glad Alice booked the Flamingo Hotel! She knows how much I love GOD's birds!
 

A beautiful nature walk was in the hotel. Of
course, the name sake of the hotel were the first birds we saw. I couldn't believe how bright the under feathers were! They had a brilliant candescence!  
 
 

Before we continued our journey, we stopped to get pictures of the flamingo art work! 



It was such an enjoyable walk and the animals were so accepting of us!
 

 
I am really familiar with the pelicans! Living in the Florida Keys for 28 years, they would glide right next to our boat (when we were going at full speed!)
 

Dad, one time, even assisted a wild pelican that had walked up to him when he was casting his net for shiners. It was all wrapped in nylon fishing string. I was so surprised at how the bird accepted dad's help when he cut the line from the entangled bird. It flapped it's wings in joy! Before it flew away, dad dropped a large handful of the fish into the birds mouth pouch! 
 

The ducks were so at home. Thank the LORD these will be some that won't be harmed by hunters!
 

One of the cutest things they would do when they got out of the water was to shake the water from their tails as they got onto the rocks!
 
 
 Even the turtles enjoyed being around the birds and people!
 

I couldn't believe the size of the goldfish! This one was at least a foot and a half long! (And that's no fish tale, lol!)
 

At the entrance to the Flamingo walk, they had this huge Macaw in his gigantic cage! It reminded me of my Blue and Gold Macaw, Max awaiting my return!
 
 

Can you believe how big this hotel is!!! The hallway went about half this distance in the other direction!
 

This is just where we stayed! The next post will have pictures of other fantastic hotels we visited because of their individual uniqueness!!
